by Toni Morrison 19:31,May 26,2023


Pieces of dark clouds gathered in the sky, not a single ray of moonlight could be seen, and the majestic torrential rain poured down, covering the night of the entire city even deeper and darker.

In the dilapidated old city, a group of men in black braved the heavy rain, stepping on puddles of different depths under their feet, even though they were completely soaked, they did not stop at all, and walked between the buildings very quickly. Their faces were violent and indifferent His eyes are sharp and sharp, like radar, searching carefully.

The man in the lead had a red sickle mark on the back of his hand, he stopped abruptly, and looked around the building in front of him with cold eyes.

"Brother, that kid is gone."

The subordinates who were assigned to search elsewhere did not find anything, and returned to the scythe man to report.

"Did the people surrounded outside notice that he escaped?"

"No, he must still be here!" The subordinate said, "But this place is so big, at least hundreds of thousands of square meters, and it's all these dilapidated buildings. It's really hard to find someone!"

The man with the sickle turned his head and swung his fist violently in a second. The subordinate fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

The man with the scythe had a stern face, and he looked at the building coldly, "If you can't find it, just destroy it!"

"yes, Sir!"

...

The men in black hurriedly exited the old city. In a dark old alley with no end in sight, a pair of faint blue eyes stared at their figures closely, holding their breath carefully.

After confirming that there were no traces of those people within a radius of fifty meters, he completely relaxed. He leaned against the moss-covered wall, panting heavily.

Bright red blood flowed down his arm drop by drop.

The boy looked only about ten years old, but he had a cold face. The young face was as delicate as a knife. Even if it was covered with dust, it was still beautiful and breathless. The most surprising thing was his His eyes, the color of his pupils, was actually as deep blue as the deep sea.

He clenched his fist unwillingly, hating himself for being careless, otherwise he wouldn't end up in such a mess now.

"Big brother? Are you okay?"

The boy turned his head abruptly, he with excellent eyesight

I can easily see things within ten meters in the rainstorm. A little girl in thin clothes stood at the entrance of the alley holding an umbrella that was crooked by the rain.

Bloodthirsty flashed across the boy's eyes, he didn't even notice that a human was approaching, he was too careless.

"Big brother, you're soaked."Susan didn't see the fierce look in the boy's eyes, carefully avoided the puddle, and walked into the alley.

The boy didn't move, and watched Susan approaching coldly.

Susan came in front of the boy, squatted down, and gave half of her umbrella to the boy. Because of this action, her own back was also wet by the rain.

"Big brother, where do you live? Do you want me to take you back?"Susan looked at the boy, tilted her head and asked, but soon began to talk to herself, "But no, Aunt Peng said yes I'll hurry up and buy the soy sauce home, or you come home with me, and then I'll give you the umbrella?"

Susan stumbled when speaking, her voice was sticky and delicate, especially in the sound of rain, but the boy had an extraordinary ability that was different from ordinary people, so he could still hear her voice clearly.

Looking at Susan back that was soaked by the rain, the boy's eyes gradually deepened, and the blue color became darker.

Breathing out, he smelled a faint fragrance from the girl's body. This smell seemed to stimulate the blood in the boy's body. He became agitated, and his heart was also reveling!

Unexpectedly, he could meet a pure-blooded human being, and even God wouldn't let him die!

He opened his mouth, and his hoarse voice escaped in a low voice, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

Susan is very happy, she can help this big brother! "great."

"But...you have to give me something first."

Susan hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Okay, what do you want, if I have it, I'll give it to you."

"I want your... blood!" As soon as the boy finished speaking, he grabbed Susan with his uninjured hand and grabbed her neck. The boy opened his mouth, revealing the fangs inside.

The dark blue eyes turned into scarlet blood in an instant, he bit the girl's slender neck without hesitation, his fangs broke through the delicate skin, pierced deeply into the tender flesh, blood , gushing out.

Small

Susan's whole body shook in pain, the pain on her neck was very clear one after another, she was held tightly by the boy in his arms, and after a few seconds, her face quickly turned pale, and then fainted in the boy's arms. in the arms.

Just before closing her eyes, Susan was still holding onto the boy's arm, and called out in a low voice, "Big brother..."

The boy whose eyes were reddened had already lost his mind. He was indulging in the sweetness of blood, completely unaware that the small body in his arms was gradually losing strength and warmth.

boom--

A flame sprang up in the distance, and the screams of panic all over the place finally brought the boy back to reality.

He swallowed again, and then reluctantly raised his head from the girl's neck, his bright red eyes gradually returned to dark blue, and after he licked the blood from his lips, his fangs disappeared in an instant.

If it weren't for the bloody tooth marks on Susan's neck, it would be impossible to imagine that such a strange thing happened just now.

However, no one noticed this scene because they were all busy running for their lives.

The fire ignited the nearby old buildings one after another. Even though it was raining heavily, the fire became more and more prosperous under the watering of the heavy rain.

"Oh help! Why am I back here again, fire, fire!"

"It must be fake, it must be a dream, how can I not get out! I don't want to die here, I don't want..."

The people living in this old city were screaming in horror. They held their heads and wanted to leave here, but they were stunned and couldn't find the exit at all!

How weird, how could they get lost in the place where they lived for so many years and couldn't find the exit.

In the alley, the boy picked up Susan, watched them scurry around with their heads in their arms, howled in despair, and twitched the corners of their mouths mockingly.

Those people wanted to trap him here, heh, if he hadn't sucked pure blood, even if he was injured, he wouldn't be able to escape this fire with ulterior motives.

But now... the boy looked down at Susan, his blue eyes sparkled brightly.

"Just because you saved my life, I will save yours too."

The boy murmured, and walked towards the direction where the fire was most intense...
