Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 103 Its Name is "Regret"

Yi Lei's ritual had been destroyed, which at least thwarted part of the opponent's plan.

But until now, Xia Shou still knows nothing about Yi Lei's intentions.

"Excuse me, why are you here?" Xia Shou asked cautiously.

The skinny man looked at the bloody sea in front of him, pointed his finger in the direction of the horizon, and then nodded downwards.

"I want to go down and go deeper. To do this, I am collecting relics related to the Blood God."

Listening to the other party's vicissitudes and hoarse voice, Xia Shou didn't know how to respond for a moment. It felt like the other party had answered, but it also felt like he hadn't answered. But at least from this answer, the other party should not have any hostility.

So, Xia Shou got to the point: "Well, someone came to set up this ritual array not long ago. Do you know anything about him?"

"He is your enemy?"

"It should be considered."

The man nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you know Lyons?"

"do not know."

"And Victor Hugo?"

"The writer of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'?"

"Maybe he wrote it later...Do you know Li Sanyun?"

"Um, I don't know him."

The man nodded silently and listed a long list of names, including several famous figures. However, Xia Shou's reaction to these names obviously did not satisfy him.

"I'm running out of time, and I want you to hear my story."

"Please say."

Xia Shou was very interested. The other party had a close relationship with this lighthouse of fear. He was either the culprit who caused the lighthouse to turn into something strange, or the person who was trapped here because of the strange characteristics of the lighthouse.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, this person knows much more about the Beacon of Fear than he and the Control Bureau.

There's no harm in hearing the other person's story, and it can also strengthen the Bureau's containment and control of this bizarre phenomenon.

“I was once a very famous vampire. There are many legends about me in the world. They called me the King of Night and Fire, the Duke of Eternity, and the Gatekeeper of the Sea of ​​Endless Bleeding.

But these are all things that happened after I became a vampire. Before becoming a vampire, I was a short person with deformed bones and difficulty standing. Because of parasites caused by my diet, I was malnourished for a long time, my skin was bumpy, and my face was ugly.

You should understand that human beings are creatures that judge people by their appearance. Without a family background, an ugly and weak person like me, apart from being bullied and exploited, the best emotion we can get is pity.

But that is only a short-lived mercy. Human mercy is a pathetic self-satisfaction. One can be kind enough to help a beggar once, but if this beggar hangs around in front of him every day, he will only feel annoyed, not to mention that the beggar is a deformed person like me with a weird appearance.

At that time, I was just alive.

Until I met her. She saved me from a vampire attack. As a famous female hunter in the hunter circle at that time, she took me in.

She modified some prosthetic limbs for me so that a semi-disabled person like me could move like a warrior. She also taught me the techniques to hunt vampires. Her kindness was so illusory that it seemed more like hypocrisy. How could I not fall in love with the only person in the world who treated me like this?

Because of her, I have a companion, a brother and a friend, a partner with whom I can communicate on an equal footing. But if she had not extended a helping hand to me first, then the friends who had become my partners would at most have only pity for me.

My world is bright because of her, so I work harder to fight vampires and live up to her expectations of me. Eventually, I earned the nickname of Puppet Blood Hunter and became a top vampire hunter.

I became a role model in the eyes of others, an inspirational person who found his own talent and transformed from a useless person into a legendary hunter.

But only I know that it is not talent that makes me like this, but my love for her.

Then, she got together with another companion of mine, a man whom I admired and called Big Brother. Compared with Big Brother, who was tall and handsome, I, with my severe scoliosis and deformed body, could not be called a man at all.

I don't deserve love. Love is not like other emotions that can be separated from the body.

So, I became a vampire, got the body I had always dreamed of, and became the man I longed to be, but I stood on the opposite side of them and killed each other with my former companions.

Ah... it was really crazy. Thinking back on it now seems like a dream. My strength stunned everyone. I slaughtered many of my former companions, and even she fell under my bloody blade.

I expressed my love to her, but was met with contempt.

But I don't care, this was expected, I never thought she could love me.

All I want is to be constantly entangled with her life, even if it means hating her.

So I let her go again and again, and I also killed the other hunters who gathered around her again and again. In the past twenty years, I have been looking for that man. Finally, I finally found my former big brother. After I tore his limbs apart and stabbed the bloody blade into his heart, he laughed at me.

He says I don’t deserve Yara’s love.

It was not until then that I realized that she had never been with my eldest brother and that everything was just a misunderstanding on my part.

When the truth came to light, I recalled their past intimate actions and realized that they were so commonplace. They were just private communications between friends, and the content of their communications was all about me.

It was then that I suddenly realized that I had won Yara's heart with my unyielding will and persistence, but my depravity pushed her to the absolute opposite side, and her love for me... was gone.

In order to kill me, she searched for a way to completely destroy me in the waters beneath the sea of ​​endless blood and in the past historical time. I will find her, apologize for what I did in the past, and return everything she gave me. "

The man spoke slowly and steadily, his tone flat as he spoke, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"After she left, I suppressed all the vampires and never drank a sip of blood again... In a blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed. I don't have much time left." The withered man looked at the turbulent sea of ​​blood in front of him without a single fluctuation in his expression.

Xia Shou didn't know how it felt as a vampire, sitting here and watching the blood surging before his eyes for three thousand years of thirst.

"There are only two types of people who can come to the top of the tower. One is those who carry a Blood God token of sufficient weight, and the other is people like you. To be more precise, people like Yara... I originally thought that only Yara could come to me without those things."

"Why don't you go outside and look for the Blood God's token?"

"I can only survive in the cracks of time like this, and I won't drink another mouthful of blood."

After hearing this, Xia Shou finally understood. This man had been guarding here for the sake of a vow he made to himself. The woman he loved dived deeper into the Sea of ​​Origin in order to kill him, but he couldn't go down, at least he hadn't collected enough tickets.

"But if Miss Yara can dive down, why do you have to go through so much trouble to go down?"

"This is the price you should pay as a blasphemer. As a vampire, losing your desire for blood is the greatest blasphemy against the Blood God." The man murmured, "I have finished my story. Do you have anything else to do?"

"Well... the man who set up this magic circle, what do you know? Anything is fine?" Xia Shou finally reacted after being asked by the other party.

“I didn’t talk much with him. We just made a deal. He gave me a token, and I allowed him to set up this magic circle here. That’s all.

But if he is your enemy, then you have to be careful, because that person is much stronger than you.

Also, this is for you.”

The man took off a ruby ​​ring with a gold band from his ring finger and handed it to Xia Shou.

"what is this?"

"It was a gift she gave me on my first day as a vampire hunter."

The man who was once crowned as a king, showed a hint of smile on his expressionless face, and the skin at the corners of his mouth fell like confetti.

"Everyone will reach the end, even in the cracks of time. Thank you for listening to her story."

Xia Shou took the ring and looked down at it. A line of bloody words appeared before his eyes:
[In a period of history that has stopped flowing, this item has been preserved as the original witness of a lost love. The emotions contained in it have not diminished in the long time of three thousand years, but have become stronger. This rare emotion in the world is called "regret." ]

Xia Shou sighed, feeling inexplicably sad.

But as a passer-by, an unrelated person who visited by chance, what can he do?

It happened so far in the past that there was nothing he could do.

Xia Shou turned and walked towards the lighthouse.

But halfway through, he stopped again, returned to the other party, and asked, "How many Blood God tokens do you need before you can go down?"

“Although I’m only a little short, I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until the next climber arrives.”

Xia Shou took out Idrisu's five keys from his shadow and said, "Are these enough?"

Undoubtedly, as a mythical creature related to the Blood God, Idrisu's related items can also be used as sacrifices for diving, but the abnormality level is only 2, which is not enough to be considered a token of love.

At least, during the process of climbing the tower, Idrisu's key did not pass the screening of the lighthouse.

A flash of surprise flashed across the man's dim eyes: "What a coincidence... Although it's not much, maybe I can give it a try. Will you give these to me?"

Xia Shou looked at the key in his hand, then looked at the endless red ocean in front of him, and put the key on the other's knees.

"I don't like hearing half stories like this, and you really should apologize to her."
