Chapter 13
The autumn rain fell in the gloomy sky, and the moist air was filled with a faint smell of decay, which seemed to tell the story of the dilapidation and desolation of this abandoned city. on the street.
Lu Ji walked aimlessly.
Perhaps because they were tired of the rainy weather, they all hid in city buildings. Even though they were several kilometers away from the temporary stronghold, they did not encounter even half of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Now that he has the power of a vampire marquis, he is no longer as cautious as he was a week ago, and he still has some hope in his heart that he will meet someone of his own race.
If possible... he even hopes to meet a noble class to judge his current accurate strength.
「Nagoya, I remember the vampire lord here... It should be the thirteenth ancestor - Crowley Eusford」
「No, this guy is the hidden seventh ancestor."
The Thirteenth Ancestor, Crowley Eusford.
On the surface, he is a blood descendant of the seventh ancestor - Fred Bartley, but his"father" is actually the second ancestor - Rigg Stafford, so his real strength lies behind the seventh and eighth ancestors between
「At present, it is best to contact the captain of the escort team first and find out thoroughly what level of vampire the Vampire Marquis corresponds to in this world.」
"Kazuko, run!"
"elder brother!"
「Um?"
The sudden scream interrupted Lu Ji, who was immersed in his thoughts. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a man and a woman on the street hundreds of meters away, being killed by an apocalypse. The four horsemen pursue him.
But unfortunately.
The former became the first choice target of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The entire area from the crotch to the waist was immediately cut off by the huge mouthparts, and then the remaining two body parts were swallowed by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who came up from behind.
Once the boy died, the girl naturally became the next target.
Seeing her brother's tragic death with her own eyes, the girl was so frightened that she fell to the ground, as if she had lost the power to live. She stared straight into the monster's bloody mouth with tears streaming down her face.
However!
The expected death did not come.
Just when the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was less than thirty centimeters away from the girl, a section of the wall one meter square suddenly hit its head.
Several tons of heavy objects were thrown out at the speed of cannonballs, and one can imagine the terrifying power they carried.
When the head of the four knights of the apocalypse was hit, it exploded instantly, and at the same time, the huge body was also knocked away, and together with the other four knights of the apocalypse, it crashed into the abandoned shop on the side.
A loud rumble was heard, and the ground trembled faintly.
The girl saw that the last of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse seemed to have been hit by some strong impact. The body several meters above the ground seemed to be hit by a meteorite, and the lower half of its body instantly sank into the concrete ground.
Take a closer look.
A young man in a gorgeous black dress was standing on the monster's head and looking down at her.
Although the young man's expression was calm, he still had an invincible aura. Coupled with the gloomy and oppressive sky behind him, the foggy and rainy figure had a great visual impact.
After the initial daze, when she saw the face of the visitor clearly, the girl's originally desperate face gradually changed.
She pursed her lips, sobbed, and shed tears all at once. The girl burst into tears and her cries echoed through several surrounding streets.
Seeing this situation, Lu Ji was also stunned.
As a technical semi-otaku before time travel, he usually dabbled in a wide range of subjects, including the most basic psychology. therefore.
He knew very well that it was almost impossible for people to cry loudly when they were extremely frightened; on the contrary, only when the subconscious mind gained a certain degree of security could it be possible to cry.
Because crying is actually one of the ways human beings can express their emotions.
This is why some girls don't cry when they are frightened, but they cry profusely afterwards.
Although the explanation of the aftermath of the disaster always felt a little wrong, Lu Ji did not dwell too much on it. He jumped down from the bodies of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and prepared to leave.
The reason why he took action to save the girl was entirely a subconscious reflex.
This is just like when you see someone next to you suddenly falling down, you will subconsciously reach out to help her. In fact, there is not that much purpose in it.
「I have to change this habit in the future. If other vampires see me, I will really become a"Holy Mother Bitch" in their eyes."」
But before he could take two steps, the girl in front of him suddenly stood up quickly, lowered her head and rushed towards him.
This moment.
Many thoughts flashed through Lu Ji's mind, the most common of which were those scenes of betrayal in film and television plots where someone suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed it into the abdomen, causing the originally good situation to collapse instantly.
If it had been before, his body would have turned sideways to avoid the approaching girl under subconscious conditioned reflex.
However, now that the nervous reaction has far exceeded the conditioned reflex, Lu Ji did not choose to dodge, and just let the girl throw herself into his arms.
The reason is simple, he didn't notice any danger.
The moment the girl threw herself into Lu Ji's arms, her grief-stricken cries became even more heartbreaking, and at the same time, a choking voice could be heard.
"Lu...Lord Lu Ji……"
"My brother is dead, Hana... Hanako's sister is also dead, everyone... everyone died on the way here.……"
"Woo woo woo……"
The uncontrollable tears wet Lu Ji's chest in a moment. He had no doubt that he was letting the other party cry like this, which would probably make his clothes that had been soaked by the rain completely soaked in the end. but.
None of this matters.
In the few short words of crying that the girl just said, Lu Jiqing clearly heard the other party calling his name!
「Does she know me?"
The moment this idea emerged, he was very shocked because he didn't recognize the girl in front of him at all.
The other person wasn't even an original character he knew, he was probably just an insignificant passerby!
But soon, Lu Ji reacted.
The girl in front of him must be recognized as his physical body, or the"Lu Ji" in the background of the system setting.
After a period of comfort and questioning, Lu Ji quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.
The reason why he was exiled by the Sangunem was mainly because he treated"domestic animals" equally in the eyes of vampires, so he was hated by the entire vampire race.
And the girl in front of him named"Shiina Kazuko" is clearly one of the small group of humans he once protected.
