Chapter 1506 C: Twilight Event (XII)
Chapter 1499 C Twilight Event (XII)
The tall and magnificent Westminster Abbey looked even more magnificent in the dusk, but the long shadow left by the gaze was like a sword piercing the earth, looking particularly sharp and ferocious.
This place is no longer a sacred place, but has become the base for the evil vampires to invade London. The magnificent and holy columns are covered with blood and stains. When the leather shoes stepped on the long carpet, a trace of filth was stained on the side.
Cain frowned slightly. He waved his hand, and the breeze caused by the energy swept across the carpet, making the dirt on it disappear in an instant, but his expression did not ease, and his brows frowned even deeper.
But he still walked along the carpet to the end, where there was a private prayer room for receiving VIPs. When Cain stood at the door and looked in through the observation window, a black-haired young man was leaning on a chair and sleeping soundly.
Cain's expression finally eased a little. He pushed the door and walked in. The young man trembled like a frightened lamb, but soon pretended to be calm, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth and coughed twice, then looked up at Cain and said, "You, why don't you knock on the door?"
"I just came to see how you are doing." Cain stood by the door, adjusting the cufflinks on his wrist and said.
"I'm fine."
"So you're ready for the First Embrace."
"I still need to prepare for this? Wait, you haven't told me what this ceremony is about..." Bruce showed a blank expression.
But Cain sneered and said, "You don't think you can become my descendant just by reciting a few spells, do you? The Embrace Ceremony is also cruel among all the rituals in the magic world, and the process of obtaining my power is destined to be very long."
"So what is that?"
Cain began to pace at the door of the room. He didn't know where he got the patience to explain these to a human. Perhaps it was because the Blood Queen Mary repeated the plan that had been repeated thousands of times in his ears over and over again, and constantly emphasized its importance, which made him feel bored.
"First, I will suck your blood." Cain stared at Bruce coldly with his red vertical pupils. After seeing the fear that flashed in the young man's eyes and was forcibly suppressed, he nodded with satisfaction.
If you understand fear, you can be tamed. If you can suppress fear, it means you are greedy enough. This is the best lamb.
"The moment you die from blood loss, I will feed you my blood, which will replace all the blood in your body."
"This process often takes seven to ten days. You will lie in the coffin I prepared for you and feel how my blood flows through your heart and your soul."
"During this process, you will feel the power of blood, and at the same time you will resonate with my blood, thus becoming my most devout believer, hiding nothing from me. The stronger the blood, the more devout the descendants."
"Well, so what preparations should I make?" Bruce couldn't help asking.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay healthy." Cain was very satisfied with his reaction. Just as he was about to continue to say something, a loud call suddenly came from outside the door.
"The great ancestor, the patriarch of the Vanzo clan is here to visit. Your Majesty Mary, please go over immediately..."
I don't know if it was because of the first half or the second half of the sentence, Cain frowned again, but he didn't show it, but turned and left.
After Cain left, Beelzebub's voice rang in Bruce's mind, saying, "What should we do now? He is about to perform the First Embrace on you. I have reminded you before that this ritual is very powerful and almost impossible to reverse."
"I heard that Cain's status is not particularly high, but he is very ancient?"
Beelzebub sent a positive emotion and said, "He is the son of Adam and Eve, how can he not be ancient?"
"I saw in a book recording the history of theology that when he was expelled from the Garden of Eden and fell into the Red Sea, Adam's sister and wife Lilith once gave him a drop of her blood. Is this true?"
"That's true, so why are you asking this?"
"That is to say, he has the blood of Adam and Lilith in him, and is actually closer to God than Abel?"
"He obtained Lilith's blood. Abel was already dead when he was given blood, but according to the theory of bloodline, it is true. "Beelzebub said as if he had a rare chance to chat: "He is more like the son of Adam and Lilith, and is the closest person to him except for the existence created by God himself."
"Aren't you running away now?" Beelzebub said with a tone of regret: "Cain has noble blood, his blood has more powerful power, and the first embrace ceremony he performed is more powerful. When the ceremony is completed, you will probably really obey him."
"But the ceremony cannot be completed."
"If you have any plans, it's best to start now. All vampire fangs have toxins. Once they pierce your body, you will be unable to move immediately, and I can't save you."
"Let's not talk about this for now, but I really need to go out now."
After saying that, Bruce pried open the door lock, walked along the corridor of the prayer room into the empty chapel, and reached the roof along the pattern of the Gothic church's outer wall.
Under the cover of the night, Bruce turned around the entire cathedral with the agility of Batman, and then locked a target, a young vampire who was walking out angrily.
He had just had a conflict with his companions. The prey they brought back was not enough for three vampires to share. The fragile prey was killed during the quarrel. When Bruce arrived, the other two vampires were united to drive away this unlucky guy and let him not share the already scarce food.
The Blood Queen Mary ordered not to invade the society of ordinary people too much, so food is not abundant now. These vampires with less pure blood need to eat a lot to maintain their strength. Once they are hungry, their appetite and bloodthirstiness, which are hundreds of times stronger than humans, will make them lose their minds.
Bruce knew this, so he landed lightly from the balcony and landed right in front of the vampire. The young vampire was so hungry that he was dizzy and didn't even bother to see who Bruce was, and rushed towards him.
He was fast, but Bruce was not slow either, and he had already figured out the terrain when he was wandering on the roof, so he ran all the way and brought the hungry vampire back to the door of the prayer room.
He closed the door and deliberately grabbed the door lock tightly. The hungry young vampire scratched the door lock with his claws regardless of anything. The metal lock fell off with a click, and the door panel was also scratched.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The young man's screams echoed in the cathedral. A few minutes later, Bruce, with a long scar on his chest, lay pale on the chair in the prayer room. Cain, with an extremely cold expression, stared at the bloody queen Mary lying on the ground with murderous eyes.
"Who allowed you to hurt my prey?!" The anger in Cain's tone could no longer be hidden, and Mary said in a horrified tone: "Sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't take good care of my descendants. They are still young and don't know the rules. I really don't know..."
This did not dissipate Cain's anger at all. He stretched out a hand, and the invisible force lifted Mary into the air. The big hand tightened, and Mary's eyeballs immediately became protruding, and her neck was about to be strangled.
Then, countless blood flew out of her mouth, nose, and eyes and fell into Cain's hands. When Mary fell to the ground, she gasped like she was dying, and she was so weak that she couldn't even stand up.
Cain deprived her of 80% of her power, making her no different from those vampires with low blood. In the end, he just looked at her coldly and said, "Do you really think you are so important to me? I am the ancestor of all vampires. After I return, both the Tantric Sect and the Demon Sect will unite as one, and your stupid plans will only slow me down."
"Get out!" Cain turned around and said mercilessly.
The door of the prayer room closed with a "bang". Cain raised his hand, and a stream of essence of power flowed into Bruce's body, and the wounds on his body healed instantly.
"I didn't let him bite my neck because I thought you might be unhappy." Bruce lowered his head and said, "But that was terrible. Does it hurt so much when you bite me?"
Cain's hand paused obviously. He didn't expect Bruce to say that at all, but he still shook his head and said, "No, no, you won't feel anything."
"Then I have to lie in that damn coffin for seven days and I can't see you for seven days?"
Cain paused again. When Bruce's blue eyes looked at him, he instinctively didn't want to say the answer that was already on his lips.
So, this answer took a detour and became a more euphemistic sentence: "The longer you lie, the greater the power you get."
"But I don't need such a strong power."
The implication of this sentence couldn't be more obvious. Cain looked into Bruce's eyes and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"The sooner you start, the sooner you can finish." Cain could only say this, but Bruce still stared at him blankly, so he had to add: "You can also see me sooner."
"I say, what are you doing?!!" Beelzebub almost screamed: "I know you humans don't care about meat or vegetables, but you can't even treat Cain... You can't?!"
Bruce ignored Beelzebub at all. He just stared at Cain's eyes. After a long time, a trace of fragility appeared on his face, and the look from those ice-like blue eyes seemed to melt suddenly.
"Right now." Bruce stood up, walked to the opposite side of Cain, very close to him, and looked directly into his eyes and said: "Give me the power to protect myself, don't let such a terrible thing happen to me again."
Cain looked at the panic in his eyes, but he didn't have the same complacency as before, but a kind of anger that he himself could not perceive and almost undetectable sadness.
The next second, Cain hugged Bruce's upper body, grabbed the back of his head with his hands and tilted his head to the side, and his fangs pressed straight against his neck.
"Puff."
The sharp fangs pierced into the blood vessels, and the extremely sweet blood flowed into Cain's mouth, but what followed was not the powerful force he imagined, but a terrible, almost irresistible madness rooted in the bottom of the world.
Cain slowly widened his eyes, he gasped rapidly, his heart had never beat so violently, he struggled desperately as if he was entangled by something.
The moment the fangs were pulled out, behind the flying blood drops, Bruce's expression suddenly became cold.
Cain, who had pulled out the fangs, quickly retreated, pinching his neck tightly and retreating powerlessly, constantly suppressing the expression on his face, the power in his body continued to surge, but it was completely unable to relieve his pain, just like drinking an unsolvable poison.
There were short breaths in his throat, as if something was about to be squeezed out of his throat.
Suddenly, he stopped, then lowered his head, standing there like a statue, and after a while, his shoulders began to shrug constantly.
As the low, subtle laughter that was almost imperceptible echoed in the cathedral, Bruce, with blood all over his neck and shoulders, looked at him calmly.
"The one I hate, the one I love, the one I hurt, the one who hurt me, the one who fought with me and drank my blood, the one who wanted to hurt me and the one who wanted to save me, there will only be one in the end - the Joker."
Beelzebub was completely stunned by the crazy scene in front of him. He roared in Bruce's mind: "Satan! What did you do to Cain?!"
Then he asked in a slightly collapsed tone: "Batman! What are you doing?! Why are you doing this???"
Bruce's calm voice came.
"Nothing, the Joker addiction came back."
Mature Batman can already create his own Joker
