It was a small, dimly lit room, with no furnishings other than a wooden table and a few chairs.
The walls were yellow, as if they would crack and peel off at any moment, and a few children sat around the table, gulping curry rice into their mouths, and the youngest ate it with relish, as if for them, it was a luxury and a happy thing to be able to eat curry rice.
Bai Shen was also one of them, and after a few bites of curry rice, he put down the spoon.
"Brother Michael, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"
one of the young children, named Kata, asked worriedly.
"No, I'm fine, I'm just full."
Bai Shen raised a gentle smile on his face, and divided his curry rice equally among Xiangta and the other children, "You eat more." ” "How can you eat so little" The black-haired kid named Hyakuya Yuichiro frowned, although his tone was bad, but his emerald green eyes were full of concern for his companions, "You guy spoil them too much" "Haha, Xiaoyou is really strict, I really can't eat it."
Bai Shen's acting skills are impeccable, even if he has experienced this scene thousands of times, the smile on his face still hasn't changed in the slightest.
Yes, this is not the real world, but Michael's inner world.
Because of the damage to his soul, this time he didn't even get a complete body, but his consciousness was stored in Michael's heart.
The current situation is somewhat similar to when he was in the Demon Realm, he and the Flame King were also able to coexist in this form, except that he was the one who had the initiative at that time, and now the one who held the initiative was Michael.
There was no way, the main thing was that his soul was too damaged to immediately seize control of his body, and he could only repeat Michael's past memories over and over again.
It's not so much a memory, it's an inner world constructed by a teenager.
Everything in this world is what Michael's heart desires, cherishes, and cannot forget.
When Michael's heart was at peace, Bai Shen saw such a scene in front of him, the orphanage mates sat around for a meal, telling each other their anecdotes, and when his heart was gloomy, Bai Shen would return to the place where all the nightmares began, no matter how the boy screamed, despaired, and suffered, his family, his companions in the orphanage, were still ruthlessly slaughtered by the vampire nobles.
In fact, for Bai Shen, Michael's memories are not worth paying attention to, the young man thought that he had experienced the most painful thing in the world, but in fact, he had never seen anything real despair and pain.
The story of the boy can be summed up as the world suddenly collapsed one day, and almost all the adults except for the children under the age of thirteen contracted the disease and died.
There is also a monster called the Four Horsemen of John in the world, which specializes in attacking humans, and ordinary children have no ability to protect themselves in such a post-apocalyptic world.
And at this time, they were discovered and protected by the vampire army, saying that they were protecting, but in fact, the vampires just domesticated them as domestic animals that provided blood.
The boy is the most nimble of the orphans, who privately gives his blood to a vampire nobleman named Ferid in exchange for food and toys, and secretly takes the fleeing map and gun when the other party relaxes.
After consulting with their best friend Yuichiro Hyakaya, the two devise a plan to escape.
And this is the beginning of all the tragedy, it turns out that this is a trap planted by the nobles, in order to see the desperate expressions of the people, when they are only one step away from the door of the outside world, Ferid stands in front of them, and kills the remaining children, and Michael is also dying, but in the end he still protects his best friend Hyakuyashi Yuichiro and escapes from the underground city, and he is saved by the vampire queen Krulu with blood when he is dying.
Not to mention why Kruru wanted to save Michael, the young man who drank the blood of the ancestor successfully transformed into a vampire, in Bai Shen's opinion, this is simply a gratifying ending, no matter why the former enemy will be so kind, but as long as he gains enough strength, then whether it is revenge or finding his best friend, it is a matter of easy reach, but what the young man did next slapped him hard.
The boy first refused to suck human blood, yes, vampires who don't suck blood will slowly become weak and eventually usher in death, but the boy is so stubborn, and finally the vampire queen Kruru can't stand it, but she is also the child she transforms with her own hands, according to the tradition of vampires, she can almost be said to be Michael's mother.
Kruru knew that Michael could not accept human blood, so she gave her own blood to Michael.
The blood of the ancestor is a very precious thing, it contains very powerful power, Bai Shen was also the ancestor of the Jiulan family, as can be seen from the fact that those vampires in the Senate can be so crazy for the blood of pure bloods.
If Michael really persevered to the end, Bai Shen would at least admire the young man for implementing his will from beginning to end, even if it was a stupid will, but at the last moment, Michael still did not resist the instinct from the body, and drank the blood of Kluru with tears.
Kruru didn't mind the boy's rudeness at first, but gently stroked the boy's hair, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, you will be my dog from now on." ” Michael barely heard Kruru's words, just kept losing his voice and was in pain, but Bai Shen didn't miss any expression on Kruru's face, and it seemed interesting that things were not as simple as he thought.
For the next four years, Michael continued to live on Kruru's blood, which made Bai Shen have a lot of good feelings for the vampire queen, because the queen's blood can nourish his damaged soul, as long as his consciousness can contact Michael, then he can break the inner world of the boy.
For Bai Shen, it was too simple to make a person collapse, especially a simple and kind child like Michael.
And even without him, the boy's spirit is in jeopardy, and after becoming a vampire, this once laughing child never laughed again.
The child had reached his limit, four years was enough time for all the accumulated grief and pain to explode, and he only had to wait for an opportunity.
Soon, Bai Shen got a turning point, and the vampire queen Kruru announced that she was going to issue an all-out war against humans, and the first stop was Shinjuku, where almost all the vampires in Michael and the underground city were going to come out.
"Xiaoyou" night, Michael tossed and turned, maybe this time he can meet Xiaoyou, he must take Xiaoyou back from the hands of humans, Xiaoyou is too kind, he will definitely be deceived by that group of ugly humans.
Yes, in the years he has been a vampire, he has been completely brainwashed by vampires.
As Michael fell asleep, Bai Shen knew that the time was ripe, and he activated the power that had been preserved to bring Michael's consciousness to him.
It's still the same scene, the same wooden table, even the curry and rice are exactly the same, the only difference is that there are no children around.
Bai Shen sat opposite Michael, he supported his jaw with one hand, and smiled slightly: "Don't you eat?"
"Is this a dream for you to look like me" Michael held out his hand, he pinched himself and found that he didn't feel any pain.
"It's a dream, it's not a dream."
Obviously they have the same appearance, but Bai Shen's expression and tone give people a completely different feeling, and those blue eyes seem to be tempting to indulge in it, "I am the truest self in your heart." ” Michael's eyes were full of wariness, and although he knew it was a dream, he had a faint sense of unease.
"I am the person who knows you in the world, because I am you, and you are me" Bai Shen stretched out his finger and lightly tapped it on Michael's heart, "We all have the same desire, that is, we want to take back Xiaoyu" "I can do that myself."
Michael stood up with a brush, intending to leave the place.
"You can't do it."
The white eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world.

Michael immediately stopped, his expression was a little gloomy, in stark contrast to Bai Shen's cheerful smile, "Is there any basis for why you say this?"
"Have you ever thought about where to take Xiaoyou after regaining him?"
asked Bai Shen pointedly.
"Find a place where no one is, neither the vampires nor the humans, just the two of us," Michael growled without thinking.
"Will it really come true" Bai Shen stroked the already rusty spoon, "Will the vampires easily let you go, will humans easily let Xiao You leave, and the world of only two people is just an ideal empty talk, as long as the war does not end, we and Xiao You will never be able to reunite." ” Michael's face changed instantly, because he couldn't refute what Bai Shen said.
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really do it, how do you plan to live with Xiaoyou We are already vampires, and Xiaoyou is still a human, the blood that Kruru gives you is limited, if you drink it out, do you plan to suck human blood in front of Xiaoyou, or do you want Xiaoyou to provide you with blood Well, this method is not bad, there is absolutely no way for the kind Xiaoyou to watch you weaken day by day, congratulations."
"Shut up" Michael frantically swept all the plates on the table to the ground, his fists clenched, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
Bai Shen didn't continue to stimulate Michael, just picked up the broken dinner plate one by one without saying a word, and put it back on the table, his movements were orderly, he didn't seem to be anxious at all, and the smile on his lips always made people feel a sense of calm and reassurance.
"It's our family's favorite dish."
Bai Shen looked directly into Michael's eyes, "But you shattered it." ” Michael's body stiffened, "No, no, I don't want to hurt anyone" "I understand, because we are one."
Bai Shen lowered his eyes slightly, "Do you remember what I said at the beginning, the person who understands you in the world is me, and now you will only let Xiaoyou see our ugly side." ” Michael's eyes began to shake violently, and he fell to the ground in a trance, "Then what should we do Since you are me, then you must know that those humans just want to use Xiaoyou, and we must rescue him" "As long as your heart desires my strength, then I will grant all your heart's desires for you."
Bai Shen stretched out his hand and stroked Michael's cheek, just like the closest family member, "This is the contract between me and you" "Can you take it back for me?"
asked Michael, blankly.
"Because it's our common wish."
Bai Shen seemed to be chanting a lavish voice, constantly bewitching the kind lamb to fall into it.
"I want to save Yuu-chan, so" Michael made up his mind, his eyes gradually becoming firm, "The other one, please lend me the power" "I'd love to" Although Bai Shen had no interest in Michael, in order to conclude the contract, he still lightly imprinted a kiss on Michael's forehead.
This is a soul-infusing ritual, and from then on, his consciousness will not be trapped in Michael's inner world, but will have free control over Michael's body, unless Michael's mood swings are too strong and desperate to snatch control with him.
The next day, when Bai Shen opened his eyes on the bed, he laughed softly, and finally got this body.
The war is about to begin, and the priority is to regain strength first, and the way vampires increase their strength is, of course, by sucking blood.
However, Bai Shen will not suck the blood of humans, firstly, there is no power in the blood of humans, and secondly, Michael's consciousness will resist strongly.
Bai Shen always felt that Michael was actually quite stupid, and Queen Kruru provided him with such a good path, but Michael didn't use it.
Yes, as long as you suck the blood of vampires, Kruru is the queen, so naturally it is impossible to give Michael too much blood, at best, it is just to maintain Michael's physical skills, but this is far from enough for Bai Shen.
Bai Shen drank all the reserves given by Krulu, it tasted good, worthy of being the ancestor, but it was a little less.
He ran his thumb across the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, put it to his lips and lightly added it, and the originally blue pupils gradually glowed red because of the awakening of desire It's time to go on a eating spree next:
