Chapter 21

  "You..."

  It was the first time I had seen such a terrifying corpse, and I couldn't help but tremble all over. The woman who had just been so charming now had her eyes wide open, staring at us with an unyielding gaze, as if she had some unfinished business.

  "Don't be afraid."

  The dark night seemed to sense my unease, gently embracing me in its arms. Is this the bosom of the dark night? So solid, so warm, such a real sense of security...

  "Who are you?!"

  The dark night and the black shadow confronted each other. Suddenly, I seemed to have discovered something wrong, in addition to the bloody smell in the air, there was a familiar smell... This smell! I remembered, this is the smell that I just smelled at the end of the alley, if I didn't remember incorrectly! This is the smell of death! A strong smell of death!

  "Cold dark night... on his body..."

  "I smelled it too, the scent of death."

  The dark night clutched tightly at his chest, and his eyebrows were knitted even tighter. This black figure had the scent of death on him, indicating that he was already a dead man. But how could a dead man... Only humans infected by the Blood Clan could possibly become like this. However, the Blood Clan had strict rules! This person... no, this monster, where did he come from?

  All I saw was the black shadow dropping the woman's corpse, and suddenly rushing towards me and Leng An Ye. I was so scared that I shrank tightly into Leng An Ye's arms and closed my eyes. The blood clan's rules were very strict, so in nearly a hundred years, I had never come into contact with an infected human before.

  Opened her eyes to find herself being dragged away from the alley by the dark night. And around her was empty and desolate.

  "How did it end up like this..."

  Who can tell me what's going on?! Why did I suddenly become so unlucky?! Which wicked person is cursing me!!!

  "It's a barrier... This monster can actually set up a barrier... But it's good, at least it won't harm innocent people."

  Cold darkness tightly grasped my hand, leading me to evade the monster's attack. Suddenly I felt something sticky sliding onto my hand, and when I looked down... it was blood! Cold Darkness' blood! How could this be?! Our bodies should recover from injuries quickly! Absolutely wouldn't bleed so much!

  "Your... your wound..."

  "I'm fine."

  After bleeding so much, how can you be fine! Looking at the injured still desperately trying to protect me, Cold Dark Night, I don't know why, but tears blurred my vision. Cold Dark Night, you fool!

  I broke free from the cold and dark night's grasp, standing still, turning around, facing that thing that could no longer be called human.
