[As long as you search casually, you will find that there are similar stories everywhere in the world. 】

["Where is the temple dedicated to the sea god?"]

["It's no longer there. I don't know if it really existed. According to rumors, the location of the temple seems to be in the area where the Kelly family built their house."]

[So, did the girl who was turned into a crab go all the way to such a deep jungle in order to steal the tribute?Fishing at the beach is much more relaxing. 】

["This is why the villagers don't like to approach your house. They think it's unlucky. Even I was threatened that I would be punished if I went in and out of your house too often."]

["How could it be...then what will happen if I live there?"]

["Kelly is no longer like an outsider. People in the village regard you as my brother."]

[Although being treated as a little brother makes the boy feel a little unacceptable, but unlike his father who always stays at home, whenever Xia Lei goes out to buy things or has other chores, he always comes with her Get in the car and go to the fishing village near the bay almost every day. 】

[It has been almost a year since they moved to this island.Now every islander greets him easily whenever they see him.The naughty children in the village always quarreled with the teenager at first, and recently they often made trouble with the teenager. 】

[Although this is a strange place far away from the hometown of his birth, the boy likes this Alimago Island very much. 】

[In the first few weeks after moving here, the boy was bored by the same routine every day.But once upon a time, the bright southern sunshine and colorful seascapes had captured the hearts of young people. 】

[But the boy's father never wanted to leave the house that no one dared to approach. He really didn't think that his father enjoyed the life here very much. 】

["If dad gets along well with the villagers, will his personality become different?"]

["Hmm~~It's hard to say."]

[Xia Lei skillfully turned the steering wheel to avoid the big rocks on the road, showing a wry smile. 】

["Because Father Simon hates him very much. I was often lectured by the priest. He said that if I continued to work in that house, I would be haunted by demons."]

【"……Right."】

[Father Simon is usually very gentle with others. Knowing that he said this to his father secretly made the young man feel quite disappointed.But it’s no wonder, and perhaps we should be thankful that the priest is just “saying bad things”.If Father Simon really knew everything his father had done, he and his son would definitely end up escaping from the island. 】

[Xia Lei patted her waist with one hand, and a sheathed silver-decorated short knife was inserted into her belt. 】

["Look at this knife. The priest forced it on me and asked me to carry it with me at all times. He said it was a very effective amulet."]

["...Isn't this the knife you usually use to peel fruit?"]

["This knife is very sharp and very easy to cut. I cherish it and use it very much."]

[ Xia Lei still spoke very relaxedly.Unlike the boy, she didn't seem to think there was any dark side to this topic at all. 】

["Xia Lei, aren't you afraid of my father?"]

[The young man asked timidly.Xia Lei responded with a curt nod. 】

["I know that he is not an ordinary person, and I can understand why the villagers find him uncomfortable. He is doing the kind of research, so it is no wonder that he has to stay away from the city and move to such a remote island to live in seclusion. But your father is This is remarkable.”]

[I don’t know why, but the boy feels that as long as he talks about his father, Xia Lei will become mature and intellectual. 】

[The difference between her and the boy is only four years, so they are not considered adult women at all]

["His knowledge and discoveries are all very remarkable. Any one of them is enough to completely subvert the world. Of course, it will make people feel scared, so it must be hidden... But to be honest, I always wonder if that kind of power It would be great if you could use it to contribute to the world."]

["...What you said...is it really possible?"]

["Your dad has given up. But Kelly, I think if it were you, you could definitely do it."]

[Seeing Xia Lei say this with a serious expression, the boy felt unhappy. 】

["No way. Xia Lei is my father's number one disciple, right? You should be the one who has the ability to contribute to the world."]

[The young man knew that Xia Lei came to the house not only to do ordinary housework, but also to assist her father's work.I heard from my father that this girl Xia Lei is very smart and talented. It would be a pity to be buried in such a poor island and worry about life all day long.Even a mystic like her father valued her so much, so her qualities must be extraordinary. 】

[But Xia Lei herself just opened her mouth wide, laughed and shook her head. 】

["I'm not an apprentice, I can only be regarded as an assistant at most. I just do odd jobs and help a little, but the most important part is that your father didn't teach me anything."

[But Kelly, you will definitely be the one to inherit your father’s legacy in the future.Because the research your father is currently conducting is all preparation for one day letting you inherit. It's just that the time has not come yet. ”]

[Xia Lei explained to the boy in a sincere tone, it was really like a sister caring about her little brother.The young man felt that he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. 】

[I heard that the boy’s mother passed away soon after giving birth to him, so he didn’t remember anything about his mother.For a boy, the only person he can call family is his father.Although his personality is withdrawn and stern, he is still a kind and great father, and he is also the most respected person in the world. 】

[The father he respected actually dotes on an "assistant" other than his son, which initially made the young man feel very uncomfortable.For a while, he really hated Xia Lei when she came to his home.But not long after, his heart was attracted by Xia Lei's lively personality and gentleness. 】

[It feels like I have an extra family member.Xia Lei respected the boy's father as her own father, loved his son as her biological brother, and took care of him in every possible way.For a teenager who has no female family members, the existence of Xia Lei's "sister" naturally becomes special and important. 】

[No - the boy has recently felt a strange commotion in his heart. Is this really just what he feels for Xia Lei? 】

[He knows very well that Xia Lei is kind, cheerful and intelligent.But not only these advantages, but also her unintentional movements and gestures - just like the profile of her face while humming and singing while holding the steering wheel, made the boy think she was so beautiful that it was scary.What exactly is this for? 】

["What kind of adult does Kelly want to be when she grows up? After inheriting her father's work, how do you want to use it?"]

【"……Huh?"】

[Xia Lei suddenly asked, startling the absent-minded boy. 】

["What you will get in the future is the power to change the world."]

[Father’s legacy.It would be a lie of course to say that the boy had never imagined what his father would leave him.He considered himself to have a considerable understanding of the value and significance of those things. 】

[As for how to use it, of course he also has ideas. 】

[But the boy was really unwilling to put these inner thoughts into words, especially in front of Xia Lei.What he hated most was that his dreams were laughed at by others as childish, and he especially didn't want to hear Xia Lei say that. 】

["...Of course it's a secret."]

【"Um?"】

[Xia Lei gave the boy a playful look and smiled softly. 】

["Then let me see what kind of adult Kelly will become when she grows up. Until then I will always stay by your side, okay?"]

【"……as you like."】

[The young man was ashamed and embarrassed and couldn't help but turn his head. 】

[For him, the smile of this older girl was so dazzling that he had to look away. 】

【Deadly white skin. 】

[The blue-black veins emerging from under the skin cover the entire cheek like cracks. 】

[The painful and twitching expression is like that of a dying person. 】

[You can tell at a glance—that thing is dead. 】

[Although dead, he is still active. 】

[The young man knew very clearly that although "that thing" looked human, it had already turned into something inhuman. 】

[It is dark outside.Of course there are no street lights on this island, but the bright moonlight still quietly shines in from the window, clearly illuminating the scene of the tragedy. 】

[This is the chicken coop outside the village.In order to find Xia Lei, who disappeared without any reason, the young man searched the entire village during the day. Even after dark, he still refused to give up and found this place. 】

[The ground was littered with bloody chicken carcasses.The young man walked to the trembling and sobbing dead man deep in the chicken coop. 】

【"kill me"】

[The thing’s face looked exactly like the boy’s favorite woman, and it whimpered and begged. 】

[The silver dagger was gently thrown to the boy's feet, shining ominously under the moonlight. 】

【"I am scared."】

【"I can't do it myself"】

["So please, please... kill me"]

【"It's not too late now"】

[Looking at this scene, the young man instinctively stepped back, but the next moment he stepped forward and tried to walk in front of her. 】

【"how come……"】

[The young man shook his head and stepped back. 】

[How could I possibly do this? 】

[No matter what she becomes, Xia Lei is Xia Lei.She promised to stay by his side forever and was his dearest family member - no, she was a more important person than family. 】

【"Please"】

[Xia Lei gasped in pain, revealing a row of jagged and sharp teeth in her mouth.The girl was sobbing like crazy and gasping like a wild animal. 】

["I already - I can't do it anymore - before I can't suppress it anymore - hurry up -"]

[Xia Lei kept trembling and struggling as if she had a fever, biting her arm with her bare teeth. 】

【"please--"】

[Looking at Kelly's appearance, the young man's mood suddenly collapsed. 】

[The boy used his own screams to cover up his pleading voice and ran out of the chicken coop. 】

[What frightened him was not the completely changed Xia Lei, but the shining light reflected from the short knife she threw at his feet. 】

[He didn't know what happened, and he didn't want to know. 】

[Anyway, I have to find someone for help. 】

[The young man believes that there must be an adult who can solve this nightmare for him. 】

[Xia Lei can definitely be saved, someone can save her. 】

[The young man told himself as if praying not to doubt. 】

[If you run with all your strength, you can reach Father Simon's church in less than 5 minutes. 】

[The boy ran and cried, completely ignoring the pain in his feet and the distress of his violent heartbeat. 】

[The woman calls herself Natalia Kaminsky. 】

[She was wrapped in a dark black waterproof coat that was incompatible with the tropical southern night, but she didn't even shed a drop of sweat.The pale face was expressionless and cold.It even makes people wonder whether there is blood flowing in her body and whether her body temperature is as warm as that of ordinary people. 】

[The savior who brought the boy out of the hell of Amityville Horror was such a person. 】

["Little Guitou, it's about time you answered my question."]

[The young man stared at the fishing village in flames in the distance, and a woman's cold voice came from behind. 】

[This village that until yesterday was completely isolated from the rest of the world and was sleeping under the moonlight a few hours ago has now been swallowed up by karmic fire.The view across the bay from the cliff on the opposite side is a bit unbelievable, it feels like a bad nightmare. 】

[Many of the warm smiles that the boy once saw there are gone forever - this is how he should accept it. 】

["...What on earth is going on?"]

[The boy asked in a dry voice.Natalia snorted coldly. 】

["I was the one who asked the question first. Little Guitou, it's time for you to clear your head."]

[The young man shakes his head.Even if Natalia is his savior, if she doesn't answer the question he just asked, he doesn't want to say anything. 】

[Natalia may have sensed his thoughts from the silence of the boy's insistence on not speaking. After sighing in disgust, she began to explain lightly. 】

["There are two groups of people making trouble in this village now. One group is the representative of the "Temple Church". Those people are not the kind of well-meaning priests you know. They firmly believe that all sinners who deviate from God should be killed. See Of course, vampires will not be merciful, and people who have been sucked will not be spared alive. If there is no time and effort to distinguish one by one, even the people who may have been sucked will be killed. In other words, those people this time very nervous.】

[Then it is a bit difficult to explain the other faction of the "Association" - who created such an extraordinary thing as a vampire?They are a group of people who want to keep this secret to themselves.Because their motto is "exclusive", they will kill everyone else who might know the details.Killing people, silencing them, and destroying evidence are meaningless if they are not done thoroughly enough. 】

【That’s what happened anyway.Boy, you are extremely lucky.You are probably the only person who has escaped from their sweep on this island now. ”]

[The boy's acceptance of these things may be beyond Natalia's expectations. He has also discovered why these dangerous people came to this Alimago Island. 】

[The boy asked Father Simon for help. After the priest found out, he contacted other people.When this information was conveyed to the outside world, in a certain process, it got into the ears of people who should never know about it. 】

[No matter how things happened, the cause is very clear to who - the boy himself. 】

[If the boy had listened to Xia Lei's plea and mustered up the courage to pierce the beloved girl's heart with a short knife, things would not have turned into this tragic situation. 】

[In this way, no matter how big the wound in his heart is, even if he can no longer sleep at night from now on - at least no one else will die. 】

[The young man set fire to the place he missed with his own hands. 】

["...Which sect are you from?"]

["I am doing business with the "Association". My job is to secretly get the "secrets" they want and then sell them to them. Of course, this matter must be completed before it gets so big, otherwise It’s impossible to do business at all, it’s a little slower this time.”]

[Natalia shrugs lightly.She must have seen this scene many times. The woman in black exuded the smell of death and fire, as if the smell was all over her body. 】

["Okay, little devil. Let's bring the topic back to the original question. It's time for you to answer my questions."

[Seal designation——So you don’t understand it.Forget it, the bad magician who is the culprit of this vampire incident should still be hiding somewhere on this island. Do you have any clues? ”]

[In this case, although this matter is trivial, it is still extremely important in a sense. 】
