Strange noises filled the night in Tokyo. There are the voices of people, rats, and the burning sound of raging fire, And sirens, sirens and explosions. However, this does not mean that Tokyo is full of vitality. It is but by this insomniac city, It's just a wail. As the daylight faded, the air was enveloped in a sheer teal-dyed blue veil over the avenue. From the seat where Atsushi Midorikawa is sitting, he can clearly see the main entrance of Shengling Women's University not far from Shibuya Station. Because the windows are made of reflective glass, people outside the store cannot see inside. From his standpoint, this It helped a lot.

It’s just that he couldn’t do anything about the sight from the store. He continued to refill his cup of black tea while staring at the young man at the gate of the Women’s University for three hours. Naturally, he would be watched with curiosity and suspicion. Even so, if he stepped into the Women’s University The area will definitely attract more attention, and Junji really can't be thankful for his current position. The bottom line is that this is the trouble caused by the elders. It’s the same every time. After I pull my hands, I push all the aftermath work to the younger generation. I really want to refuse this kind of work. They always say that they are also suffering like this. Come over, but how much of it is true is quite doubtful, Junji still thinks so.

At this time, Chun Si saw a girl walking towards him at a trotting speed, and he was immediately relieved, it seemed that she had returned safely. After opening the oak door of the coffee shop "Camila", Masaka Hanamura swiftly passed the waitresses and customers, and came to Junji's seat at the speed of a race walker. "Senior, the investigation of Shengling Women's University has finally come to an end." With shoulder-length chestnut hair and a red-brown round hat that suits her very well, her eyes and nose are quite conspicuous and beautiful. She is an eighteen-year-old girl who is easy to impress—but her name is "Yaxiang ( Note: Yaxiang is pronounced as 'まさかMasaka' in Japanese, and まさか means surprise, surprise, and negation)" This is... moreover, her footsteps are too energetic. If you approach and shout to yourself, "Can you please show a little love?", no matter who you are, you will have the urge to donate all your property.

"Very well, thank you for your hard work. What have you gained?" Although Junsi asked a question, he found that Yaxiang was asking the waitress to come over, and quickly ordered hot cocoa, raspberry pie, and fruit pudding. Seeing this, Junsi immediately stopped her from ordering in a panic. "You should at least consider the budget, and then show the receipts of these expenses to the elders." "CRS is really stingy. Being stingy in collecting information will not keep up with the pace of the times." "Unfortunately, our organization does not grow a cash cow."

"Although it's called the Crimson Rose Society, only the name fits the style of the royal family." "I can't argue with that." With a wry smile, Junji looked at the energetic girl who just joined the association a month ago. "Crimson Rose Association". This is an international organization that exists to hunt vampires. Of course, for ordinary kind or non-kind people, this organization is beyond their cognition. Even the vampires who become hunting targets hardly know about it. The existence of the organization is only known to a few people who are members. Junji and Masaka are both members of the Japanese branch of the "Crimson Rose Society", referred to as CRS.

Since this summer, six students in Shengling Women's University have died due to throat injuries and excessive bleeding. Since the principal has a deep relationship with political celebrities, he finally suppressed the news so that it would not be spread, but it has almost reached the limit Now, CRS has to deal with the whole incident before the existence of vampires is exposed to the sun. However, for the new member of the organization, Yaxiang, this incident has become a touchstone to test whether she can stand on her own. "Senior, don't get me wrong, this is my first task. Senior is just in charge of helping and assisting. No matter how powerful the hitting coach is, he can't walk into the hitting zone with a bat by himself."

"...Hearing you talk so much about yourself, I think you're pretty confident you can hit a hit." "Oh, the most important thing is the process of hard work. As for the result, let the fickle gods decide." Junji still doesn't like the word "god" even if it's a joke, but he can only smile wryly when he sees Masako waving a spoon covered in whipped cream while talking. "What are the characteristics of the patient? Although it doesn't make sense to ask until now, I'll let you review it." "Extremely allergic to the main ingredient in garlic, allyl sulfide... allyl or something."

"It's allyl propyl disulfide!" "It sounds like the name of an Eastern Roman Emperor." "Don't play dumb, do you have juvenile dementia?" "In short, it is allergic to those substances, and also allergic to sunlight. This allergy is so strong that it will cause shock and death, as well as the fear of the cross. Since this fear is only a spiritual taboo for Christians, if the patient is not Christians, it is completely useless. But there are still cases where patients have a slight fear of the cross because of the influence of movies or novels.”

After wiping the area around her mouth with a paper towel, Yaxiang, who was 80% full, exhaled slightly. Since she didn't have to worry about obesity, she could enjoy snacks no matter how high in calories, which is very good. "There are other important points." "Hey... is there anything else?" "The key point is the contraction force of the muscles! Patients can exert strength five to six times higher than ordinary people. You actually put such an important thing..." "Yes, yes, that's right, I just remembered." Yaxiang rarely nodded obediently.

"By the way, let me ask you a question, how many people are in this organization called CRS?" "Don't change the subject, but... it shouldn't matter if I tell you. There are about 500 people in total, including elders, backbones, and subordinates. Didn't I mention that? All in all, there are probably so many people, and the Japanese branch only has about a dozen people. .” "Really, it's just a small and medium-sized group. I thought it was a large organization with hundreds of thousands of people like the Mafia or Freemasonry." "That's because the other party is a large international company."

Junji's tone sounded more resentful than self-deprecating. "Our Crimson Rose Society is nothing more than a mutual aid group formed by a group of weak people who are afraid of the oppression of most human beings. We have no ambitions to dominate the American underground society and unify the world. We only hope that patients will not do anything to human society. Overstimulation." "Yes, I understand, Coach." Although she answered in a joking tone, when Masako followed Junji's gaze to the main entrance of Seiling Women's University, her pupils showed serious feelings. The whole university seems to be covered by a pitch-black wing. Although it is mostly a psychological effect, there have been six bizarre deaths. The faces of the students and faculty who shuttle back and forth at the school gate will be like this There is nothing wrong with being gloomy, and by the way, Junji and Masaka have night vision that is several times better than ordinary people. Yaxiang recalled the scene when she was investigating around the campus. It lacked the splendid atmosphere that a women's university should have, and it was a campus without bright colors; During the winter vacation, the population is also a little sparse. "Gatherings of more than five people and irresponsible gossip are strictly prohibited." Announcements with high-pressure policies are flooding the campus, but the so-called prohibition means existence. Yaxiang has successfully grasped the "gossip" about vampires in every corner of the campus. Having said that, it is hard to believe that Japanese people who have not been dominated by monotheism in their spiritual aspects will be really afraid of vampires, that is, the existence of the same heresy, but Seling Women's University is a Puritan school based in Boston. It is a school established by a consortium. Perhaps because of this, people in this school regard things like vampires, demons, and werewolves seriously as taboos, even if they are not afraid of them. "And this Shengling Women's University has many young ladies with good family backgrounds studying, because it is a well-known bridal school, if there are any bad reviews, it will be bad." Just looking at the appearance, Masako is also quite like a "lady with a good family background". Junji finds it very interesting to see such a Masako say these words with a serious expression. "anyway……" Yaxiang put the spoon with cream still on it back on the plate. "If you think about it carefully, we have indeed taken on a troublesome job. It would be great if the ancestors could work harder." "'No way', although I hate this kind of saying, but there is really no way, if the problems caused by the same clan are not resolved by the same clan, there will be more troubles in the future." Junsi spoke clearly and logically, but in Yaxiang's eyes, she felt that about fifty-five percent of it was Junsi who forced herself to think so in order to convince herself. "It's really difficult for the coach. He has to take care of both the top and the bottom. It's really hard." Hearing Yaxiang's sincere feelings, Junji glanced at her, and quickly picked up the bill that was on the table. "Yes, it's very hard, so don't add financial burden to me." Yaxiang sticks out her tongue, just because she can sense the other party's true thoughts, she knows that the "coach" who is five years older than herself is more capable than herself. Masahiro Yazaki, an associate professor of international studies at Seling Women's University, has quickly become famous in the media circle since he returned from studying in the United States three years ago. He has written more than a dozen books and often appears on TV. He looks like a cultural promoter for the government, but that doesn't matter at all. The problem now is that the victims of the six bizarre deaths in Shengling Women's University were all international students, and four of them were Yazaki As an associate professor's student, this probability can be said to be beyond common sense in mathematics. "It doesn't need to be so complicated. Simply put, what this material wants to express is that the annoying professor may be a vampire, that's all." After reading the CRS information, Yaxiang quickly made a judgment. Hearing her slightly hasty judgment, Junji, as a "coach", had to be more cautious. "He doesn't necessarily have to be a vampire, because he also teaches during the day." In short, I went to check it out. Masako, who left this sentence, showed her action-oriented side, and asked for an autograph from Yazaki's work, which was not interesting at all. Masako seemed to be welcomed by Yazaki inexplicably. When she returned from three investigations, her eyes were glazed. "What's the matter, did that vigorous scholar propose to you?" Chun Si asked the question in a joking tone, but after seeing Ya Xiang nodded without saying a word, he was suddenly speechless. "...Oh, that guy is what the saying goes, the golden turtle son-in-law." "Don't be kidding, he is obviously a man and still learns how to use perfume, but as a scholar, he shows off to others how he socializes with politicians. I am not interested in this kind of guy at all." Yaxiang, who finally brought her consciousness back to reality, shouted excitedly, and the waitress standing by was startled because she slapped the table hard. "Associate Professor Yazaki was not pleasing to me from the very beginning. This is the first time I have encountered a rare case that completely matches the first impression. What is he thinking? He proposed to me!? We only met for the third time what!" "Don't judge too early, he is not necessarily a patient with violent tendencies." Formally, although he cannot limit his field of vision to a single target, Junji also understands that he must start the investigation with Associate Professor Yazaki. From various reasons, this abrupt and strong marriage proposal is full of doubts, although it is very annoying. , but we must take advantage of this opportunity.In 1920, a man named Peter Kuden committed many murders and blood-sucking cases in Germany. Because the CRS German branch did not pay attention to the matter at that time, more than 40 people were sacrificed. The matter must end with only six sacrifices. "I know, I will do my duty as a member of CRS, but this is just a show." Yaxiang kept repeating the words after "but". On the day of Yaxiang’s wedding ceremony, or at night, the wedding ceremony and party were held in the “Centennial Memorial Hall” in Shengling Women’s University—a building full of luxurious equipment and a tasteless name, because It's an ordinary day, and it's a university staff's wedding, so the venue can be rented at a very cheap price—these arguments are just superficial reasons, and everything is ready in just two weeks , Junji and Yaxiang's painstaking efforts can rival the experts in marriage fraud - it seems a bit exaggerated to say that, and the groom's side also holds abnormal enthusiasm, not to mention that the formal handling is of course from "uncle" who is also CRS Japan The great assistance of the head of the branch. In addition to the strange fact that only the "uncle who attended instead of father" and "cousin" attended the wedding, the bride who put on a pure white wedding dress with a face of helplessness on the eve of the wedding was even more in harmony with the "strange" two In the preparation room, the individuals were eagerly discussing how to escape this unintended wedding ceremony before the bridal chamber. "Just in case, Yaxiang, take this to protect yourself." "Wow! It's a light machine gun!" Yaxiang's eyes are shining, dressed as the "uncle" of the Japanese version of Hercule Poirot (Note: Hercule Poirot is the famous detective written by the famous mystery novelist Agatha Christie.), Take out the dangerous weapon that glows black from the briefcase and hand it to the bride. Junji, who should be the most common sense among the three, was completely dumbfounded at this moment. "Where did you get such a thing!" "There are many ways to get it. I am the man who escaped from the encirclement of the Soviet secret police after teaching Stalin a little bit." "Okay okay, you are an underground hero active behind the present history." Most likely it was stolen from the US military base, but Junji didn't pay much attention to such things as law-abiding and maintaining order, so he didn't pursue it further. Besides, it's better than not wearing any self-defense weapons at all, and if you have to face patients , Ordinary weapons are useless. "It's not a toy, don't wave it around. And do you really know how to use it?" "No problem, the bullet will be fired when the trigger is pulled?" "That's right, that's what it is. This little girl seems to have more guts than Junji." "Please don't confuse boldness with boldness, and uncle, this fellow has the fault of taking things too lightly." The bride who pretended not to hear hid the machine gun under her wedding dress, and arranged it so that it could not be seen from the outside with tape placed in the preparation room. After smiling, he left the preparation room, and then "Uncle" stood up slowly, and patted Junshi's shoulder which was taller than him. "Are you worried?" "Of course, because she is a girl after all, and..." And...Although the question is not used now, there are too many doubts about the whole matter. The groom doesn't care at all about the fact that the woman's relatives and friends are very few. There are precedents to be found, but it is still very suspicious. The groom did not explain the reason at all, which added a bit of suspense to the matter. What is Associate Professor Yazaki's plan?Or is it pure self-confidence and excess pretending to be chic?Junji has no clue at all, but in any case, the mystery will be revealed in a few hours. The ceremony began solemnly—or, one might say, feigned solemnity—and darkness had taken hold of the entire sky. From the outside, this white memorial towering in the darkness might have looked like a layer of mysterious make-up. "A wedding ceremony held at night, that alone is suspicious enough." Yaxiang, who was wearing a wedding dress, complained to the veil. As the groom, the elite associate professor turned his eyes to the bride in surprise. The bride who should be his favorite ignored him indifferently. Standing here must be a very difficult situation for her. big sacrifice. Yaxiang thought, Ye Lai felt more and more like hunting vampires. The two layers of curtains, night and thick fog, covered this palace and isolated it from the hustle and bustle of the city outside the 50,000-ping campus. In addition to the vibration of the truck affecting the air flow, this place is so quiet that you don't feel like you are in the middle of the city. Then the oath was read. Perhaps lying is impossible for a devout believer. Anyway, what the other party said was full of falsehood. Yaxiang, who believed so, threw her stubborn conscience aside and used the "actress" Identity spat out false oaths from her mouth, and the next kiss tested Yaxiang's endurance. Since she only needed to kiss each other's cheeks, Yaxiang resisted the urge to run away. Even so, as long as the kiss lasts for zero In two seconds, maybe there will be a handprint on the groom's face. From the end of the ceremony to the start of the party, the two rested in another room, and the groom watched the young bride fifteen years younger than him through the glasses. "Finally the two of us can be alone." The lines that have appeared dozens of times in novels and movies, but Yaxiang is not moved at all after listening to them. "That's true, but the wedding is still going on." For brides, this is the way to express disgust. "Weddings don't matter at all. That kind of thing is just a formality. It's just a hypocrisy." Yaxiang looked at the groom in a tuxedo through the veil. Although she wanted to express her approval, she couldn't say it. "Actually, I'm just like the group of guests who came to the wedding. It's just a foil. Don't be too surprised. Your real groom is there." Now is not the time to leisurely criticize how good Misaki's acting skills are. Masaka looked in the direction he pointed, the door of the huge wardrobe was open, and there was a figure in it shaking as if the heat had been turned off in an instant. A man in a suit, or rather a suit worn by a man, was staggering towards Masaka.The man showed part of his dark blue skin and stared at her with cloudy eyes. At this time, Yaxiang heard the groom's eerie laughter. In Ya Xiang's eyes, the man standing in front of her is not a human being, but a collection of miasma, and the malicious breath like vaporized dry ice keeps drifting towards her. "patient……?" Yaxiang felt trembling all over her body. Since becoming a member of CRS, although Yaxiang has had two experiences of confronting patients head-on, this is the first time that she has to face patients independently. If Junji is present, she will definitely be praised. After taking a deep breath, she recovers Calmly, she stretched her hand into the white wedding dress, and quickly dodged the enemy's outstretched wrist, and threw the small box prepared in advance forcefully. The irritating stench coming out of the small box is the extract of allyl sulfide and allyl disulfide, the main components of garlic, and the patient whose eyes were covered with this substance let out a miserable cry. Yaxiang pushed away the patient who was pressing her face with both hands, and Misaki was also knocked to the ground in embarrassment. She immediately fled out of the lounge. Many doors kept opening in front of her eyes, and finally she was about to hit a mountain-like She braked suddenly before the wedding cake, and she came to the party venue. Among the many relatives and friends of the man, a man who would give people an inexplicable and rough impression approached Masa, who was standing still.However, another participant crossed the table, swung the man's wrist away, and delivered a powerful punch to the man. The man affected by the punch turned around and fell headfirst into the wedding cake. The man yelled, causing the wedding attendees to stand up in groups, and the sound of chairs falling to the floor was heard endlessly. "Yaxiang! Go here." "Coach, you're so handsome." Yaxiang lifted the white hem of the wedding dress with both hands, and passed over the heads of the elderly participants who fell to the ground. The party venue was full of roars and screams, and there were figures of participants shuttling around, the sound of tableware breaking everywhere, and lobster, red wine, and salad scattered on the floor. This is a scene that people in hungry countries can see The scene of fainting. "Coach, sure enough there are patients here, and Misaki seems to be just one of his subordinates." "I know." After a brief answer, Junji quickly knocked down the enemies from left and right, and knocked over a chair by the way. Yaxiang also beat a person backwards with the palm of his hand. At this time, she suddenly remembered something, and saw She took out a light machine gun from under the magic wedding dress that could take out any props. Yaxiang with the gun in her hand probably only had a perfect posture. The pure white wedding dress paired with a light machine gun emitting black luster, seemed to be turned into a startled piano wire, restraining everyone present in place. "Get out of the way! If you don't get out of the way, I'm going to shoot you!" She did what she said and shot, but wouldn't the meaning of warning be lost in this way?Although Yaxiang didn't point the muzzle upwards at the beginning, the reaction force made the muzzle higher and higher, causing the line of fire to extend to the ceiling. Everyone was frightened by the gunfire and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands. "Idiot, run away!" Hearing Junji's cry, Yaxiang nodded and ran away. "This little girl is really hot. It's dangerous to have that type of person carry a weapon." The "uncle" who was standing next to Junji at some point made a comment. "Don't talk like it's none of your business at all! Isn't it you, Uncle, who handed over the weapon to her!" "It's useless to blame me. Please be optimistic. You see, the patients are all getting up." Uncle pointed forward, and Chun Si couldn't help being surprised when he saw the floor in front of him in the direction. The floor was like a picture that suddenly burst, replaced by a jigsaw puzzle made of human figures, those figures had lowered and extended hands, like Cat-like glowing eyes and a half-open mouth—the appearance of this group of people approaching in front of them is more and more similar to acquired vampire patients. "There is about a squadron. It seems that I am about to step down and bow." "Uncle, didn't you escape from the encirclement of the Soviet secret police after teaching Stalin a lesson? Please recall the feeling at that time." "What are you talking about? How dare you believe that kind of lie." "...!" "I haven't been to Russia once, because I'm afraid of the cold, so I haven't been to places north of Vienna, hahaha." "uncle." "yes." "If I can get out alive, I will have a good talk with you." The two escaped from the party venue as originally planned, and Junji ran into the vast campus at night with his back to the crowd of patients. Yaxiang also followed the original plan, holding a machine gun and sitting on the granite stairs under the bronze statue of the founder of the school, with a pair of beautiful legs crossed under the rolled up skirt, which made Junji not know where to turn his eyes for a while, After listening to his explanation, Yaxiang understood the whole situation. "So all the people at the party were vampires?" "I wish you could call them unfortunate patients." "If something goes wrong, we'll be even more unlucky than them." "I think our current situation can no longer be described as a mistake." The patients approached slowly, and they were less than 50 meters away from Junji and the others. Yaxiang hurriedly raised a machine gun to try to intimidate her, but the patients whose symptoms had already begun showed no fear at all. Coming from their direction. "So, is there a countermeasure?" "Uncle is working with the members of the CRS Japanese branch. The most important thing now is to get out of the current predicament." "That's right, the number of patients is a bit too high, so how should we escape?" "Use the legs you got from your parents, run!" As soon as he finished speaking, Junji turned his head and ran towards the stairs, and Yaxiang who followed closely behind made a dissatisfied voice. "A time like this is supposed to be escaping in a white convertible, right? That's what can be called aesthetics. Don't you think so, Coach?" "Save the energy of complaining and run hard!" "I've been working hard!" "And when are you going to get that machine gun, throw it away quickly." "That's too wasteful, maybe it will come in handy later." This is the kind of thinking that only women in the World War II era would have. Although it was said to be running away, it was actually just delaying time. Since the "patients" could not be allowed to leave the campus, the two of them were just wandering around the campus. The large group of "patients" in the rear are gradually approaching, and the footsteps are not consistent. This can be said to be the only consolation. The footsteps of well-trained infantry will bring more fear and oppression to the enemy. Even after running a long distance, the breathing of the two was still steady. The oxygen intake capacity is significantly higher than that of ordinary people, and they will not cause shortness of breath due to a little exercise. For them, this level can only be called appropriate exercise-of course, all of this is based on the existence of a safe end point premise. "In short, the conclusion is..." "What's wrong? It's about this time." "This Shengling Women's University is probably the nest of patients. Maybe there are facilities like chicken farms in the basement of each building." "This is the lair of patients, I know, the question is who is the leader? What is the reason for this drama to invite you into the lair?" Such a discussion-like conversation between the two as they shuttled among buildings, trees, and pools to buy time is enough to prove that although the two are still physically competent, they are in a state of mental restlessness. "The reason for looking for me is very simple." "You don't want to say it's because you're a beauty?" "At least it suits the appetite of the patient leader, rather than the little one like Misaki." Junji thought that maybe the reason was really that simple. In fact, it was not Yaxiang who took the whole thing too lightly, but Junji himself. A little-known "vampire minion" who was manipulating him behind the scenes, staging that ridiculous wedding, and having patients pretend to be party attendees?Could it be that we, who are constantly running away in the campus to prevent the patients from leaving the campus, are just puppets in the hands of that character? ...This idea gradually materialized in his mind, and the two were forced by the patient group from two directions into the atrium of the "Centennial Memorial Hall". Although there is another direction to escape, there is a road in that direction. The wall made of human figures is also a very dangerous wall, not only fully exerting its defensive function, but also aiming at the two of them with dozens of the same things as Yaxiang's hands. "Surrender, my bride." The person who uttered this line that would embarrass the listeners was Associate Professor Misaki, but I always felt that this sentence sounded a bit breathy. When I looked carefully, it turned out that he had broken a bullet when he fell. Front teeth, after Junji elbowed the laughing Masaka, she let Masa throw the submachine gun on the ground, and next to Misaki who covered her mouth with a handkerchief, a small and evil-looking man appeared. figure. "Finally out, the real vampire." It was the voice of an old man speaking with sweet lips. "CRS. The congenital vampire family, an organization established to punish the acquired vampires who have committed crimes." "I was only half-believing at first, but I didn't expect it to really exist, Professor." "Your voice is trembling, Misaki. I'm pretty sure, no, I already knew. Vampire organizations do exist in this world." Yaxiang cast her eyes on Junji's face, and she could see the same confusion as herself from that face, but this confusion disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold sense of fear - CRS was exposed. CRS—The Crimson Rose Society is undoubtedly an organization that exists to hunt vampires, but unlike other organizations, all members of the organization are congenital "vampires" (this name is just from human prejudice), What to hunt is the group of acquired vampires who will harm human society, they are called "patients", and the virus in these "patients" will be passed on from the first generation to the second generation, and then passed on to the second generation. The third generation continues to expand in scale, and as a result, the work of the congenital "carriers" such as Junji and Yaxiang continues to increase, causing them to live a busy life every day. All because of the seed sown by their ancestors. Judging from the fact that the body contains what is commonly known as "blood-sucking virus", Junji is no different from the patients. However, there is one decisive difference between congenital and acquired, and that is that congenital vampires contain antibodies in their blood. In the absence of antibodies in the blood, the blood-sucking virus will affect the brain and lead to abnormal metabolism, and then the abnormal metabolism will lead to the production of dopamine. This substance in the brain is one of the reasons for the symptoms of sensory integration disorder.In addition, it is also found that it will have a negative impact on the cerebral cortex, and the ability to suppress desire will be significantly reduced, making the desire continue to accelerate, especially the demand for blood will be close to the degree of sexual desire and physiological needs... For the "vampire", the mocking name that most humans give themselves, they are always happy. They originally used the method of asking humans to "give" them some body energy to barely survive in this society where humans account for an absolute majority. The vampire family, because of their own failure, the vicious "patients" were born into the world. When the "patients" caused destruction and negative impact on human society, as a vampire family, they could not stand idly by, because the stability of human society also represents the vampires. The stability of the clan, not to mention more than half of the dominant power in the world today, is in the hands of the monotheistic religion with strong exclusiveness. In order to avoid being oppressed by inhumanity, the existence of "vampires" must be buried in the dark, Chun Siguang heard The word "God" will look disgusted, and it is also because of the history that people used God's will to persecute vampires in the past. When Yaxiang asked herself if she was afraid of the cross, Junsi replied angrily: "Our family has lived a peaceful life in a corner of the earth since 10,000 years ago. There is no reason to be afraid of the signs used by new religions that have only developed for two thousand years." It makes sense to hear what he said. These problems are due to the fact that Masaharu, who has noticed that her body's abilities in all aspects have grown by leaps and bounds, just learned from CRS that she is a "congenital vampire". raised in the room. "Where's the garlic?" She asked this question. "Garlic steak is my favorite dish to compliment, as are potato chips, I prefer garlic to salted seaweed." "In other words, there is no effect, which is a good thing, but drinking some drinks that fit the image of a vampire seems to be very good." "For example?" "For example, adding rose petals to black tea..." "Those are just people's wrong impressions of vampires. There is no need to deliberately cater to them. Russia's winter is most suitable for Russian tea and Russian stove. Of course, Japan's winter is kotatsu with oranges. If you add animation DVDs You can feel the essence of Japanese culture even more.” "It's really a way to misunderstand Japanese culture." "Would you like brown rice tea?" "I don't want it! Really, why does a dignified vampire have to sit at the kotatsu and drink brown rice tea? It's not romantic at all." Yaxiang sighed, but she knew it very well.Survival has nothing to do with romance. Even so, she still hopes that vampires can bring people some unknown fear and physical disgust, or on the contrary, a feeling of elegance and coquettishness. She really doesn't want to live a life of wearing heavy clothes and hiding under the heating table , Watching TV while drinking brown rice tea is a strange life. However, the situation of Yaxiang itself is already very strange. It took several generations to discover her blood as a congenital "family" in her genetic factors. Although Junji is her predecessor from this point of view, but The so-called "vampire candidates" are not complete vampires. "A female college student drinking brown rice tea with a vampire, it might be good to take a photo of this and send it to a magazine." "No, no, because it's completely unknown." "By the way, is the diet the same?" "That's right, not only can it stay the same, but because it won't absorb nutrients, no matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight." That's a big plus. “话说回来，我们这一族会不会太不了解自身的事情了，为什么祖先们不想去了解自己一些呢？像是医学方面之类的。” “与其说是不想，不如说是感到害怕吧。” "Fear?" “嗯，即使到现在还是会觉得恐惧。害怕藉由对自己身体能力的研究、分析、了解、会让自己明白究竟与人类有多大的差距，或许我们在心中的某个地方，仍然希望自己是人类的一分子，而不是其他的生物。我们的祖先们是彻头彻尾的和平主义者，但是却不断地遭受人类冷漠的对待。” 此时淳司的脸上又露出不愉快的表情。 “受到基督教的迫害尤其严重。我们受到信仰的迫害，被诬赖成与伊斯兰教合谋组成'反基督者'共同策划阴谋，导致同族大量遭到屠杀。当然也有盯上我族财产的人，我们祖先位于外西凡尼亚的村子似乎都是遭到十字军独立部队的攻击而毁灭，好象是第四次十字军时的事情。” 外西凡尼亚是“森林的背后”的意思，现在虽然是罗马尼亚的领地，从前则是与匈牙利发生过激烈的争夺，如果再将时间向前推进，这块土地也曾经是奥地利帝国及颚图曼土耳其帝国相互争夺的一块土地。颚图曼土耳其帝国的“壮廲帝”苏莱曼一世与奥地利帝国的“其貌不扬的军神”萨伏依的欧根亲王也为了这块土地征战不休，如果要更往前追溯的话，罗马、匈奴、日耳曼、塞西亚等等民族应该都有经过此地，并且定居混血，而距离淳司年代较近的祖先则是在明治开国时从欧洲渡海而来，倘若是比外凡尼西亚更早的历史，他就不清楚了。 族人隐秘地生活在世上，但是那群将原地住民信奉的神视为恶魔的一神教徒们，却将无谓的迷信与偏见加诸在族人身上。 一般大众对于吸血鬼的错误认知里，其中最为愚蠢的一项就是——要将吸血鬼杀死，就必须把木锥刺入心脏，不管是人类还是灰熊，被木锥刺入心脏都不可能平安无事，绝对不是只对吸血鬼有效，这或许是人们畏惧吸血鬼惊人的生命力及躯体的防御能力，并从要正确无误地刺入心脏这种杀人技巧的经验中，产生的一种杀掉吸血鬼的仪式罢了。 结果，到淳司房间做客的雅香并没有喝到加了蔷薇花瓣的红茶，而是一脸不甘愿地边喝着超级市场特卖的玄米茶，边想淳司发问。 “也曾经有恶毒的贵族遭到吸血鬼暗杀，那群家伙就算拿着十字架也应该不会有任何效用吧？那为什么到现在人们仍然认为十字架有对抗吸血鬼的能力呢？” “那是因为每当我们侵入目的地完成任务之后，都会做好事后处理。大蒜、十字架、圣餐的面包，诸如此类的物品一定会全部带走。这样一来，那群虔诚的人们就会深信，这个被害者是因为没有准备大蒜和十字架才会被吸血鬼杀死。对于那群相较于事实，更加相信传说与教义的人们，我们自然有一套对付办法。” “真受不了，你们是智慧型罪犯吗？” “别这么说，这只不过是些许的自我防御手段罢了。” ……雅香将自己的未来和CRS重叠在一起，比起认定自己是一个吸血鬼，“吸血鬼之一”这个称呼更让人安心，或许暖桌和玄米茶这类的小道具，只不过是为了在她从前认知的世界与她今后必须踏入的世界之间做缓冲，进而慎重设计出来的东西。 “为了引出我们，有必要杀害六个人吗？” 对于淳司话语中搀杂的厌恶感，人体实验医师却一派轻松地听而不闻，没错，站在失崎身边的老人便是过去担任日本关东军军医，曾经因为进行人体实验而恶名昭彰的医学博士高根，他之后更在数次的战争中指挥运用细菌兵器作战。 “只不过才六个人，跟从前我在中国大陆解剖过的数目比起来根本不算什么。不过为了喂饱那群增加的吸血鬼，光靠保存血液仍然稍嫌不足这点倒是真的。” “虽然不太想相信，你该不会是想将吸血鬼运用在军事活动上吧？” 淳司细心地探听虚实，疑惑在心中扩张的速度超乎想象。 “总而言之，就是要创出一支吸血鬼部队吧？你是个为了将医学成果运用在军事活动上可以抛下羞耻心做出任何事的人，而当一个人缺少了羞耻心，无论什么事情都可以不断地重复进行。” “虽然你的讲法不怎么中听，不过那股洞察力倒是不差。没错，持有吸血病毒的生命体确实有着十分贵重的价值。” “虽然我很想感谢你对吸血鬼抱持高度的评价，但是你所希望的是个非现实的构想。那种细菌会令脑中代谢产生异常，进而造成精神方面的问题，这点相比教授也很清楚吧……” “我明白。我也没想过要将那群比染上毒瘾更加危险的吸血病毒二次患者当成军队使唤，因为管理起来十分麻烦。光是应付那群同性恋者就够美军苦恼了，所以我需要的是先天性带原者的吸血鬼。只要能够抓到他们，就可以将那群烦人的患者全部丢进硫酸槽。” 医师淡淡的冷笑。 “你明白了吧。也就是说，我想要你，我的目的就是邀请你到我的研究所。” 淳司眨了眨眼，这是为了要隐藏脸上的表情，在过去，族人受到一神教狂热分子们的迫害，而到了现代，似乎还要提防对吸血鬼的身体有着浓厚兴趣的疯狂科学家们。 “我的研究所位于科罗拉多州阿斯彭附近，是个风光明媚、空气新鲜的好地方，请你务必一游。” “还外加美国国防部的援助，于公于私都没有经济上的烦恼，对吧？” 虽然这只是毫无根据的攻击，但是见到高根一脸不悦地闭上嘴巴，就知道成功命中要害了，而淳司也在内心暗自嘟囔，要是心中的疑惑成真，整起事件会牵扯出更大的阴谋。 “我就知道是这么一回事。从二战结束开始，美国与日本的恶魔医师之间就一直有着切不断的孽缘。” “针对你刚刚发表的意见，我认为你实在太失礼节了。以我个人来说，我当时是为了祖国的胜利以及医学的进步才会如此奉献自己的身心努力研究。” “要怎么想是你的自由，但是你的想法会对我造成困扰。” 淳司的声音十分冷漠。 “身为少数派，我们极力避免为多数派的人类带来麻烦，CRS充其量不过是为了自我防卫而成立的组织，我们没有兴趣和五角大厦打交道。” “弱者是没有资格与强者平起平坐的，唯一能做的就是跪在地上求饶。要是你们也这样做的话，我或许会考虑将你们饲养在动物园或是医学研究所内，就算不工作也有饭吃，待遇不错吧。” 教授笑了出来，听到这些话的淳司与雅香自然不觉得有趣，更何况这些并非玩笑话，而是认真的，跟是否感染吸血病毒无关，在绝对多数的人类中，像他一样精神失常的家伙肯定不在少数。 “你自己去动物园住看看如何？像你这种喜欢欺负弱小的凶恶害虫，才该去掌权者身边那种阴暗潮湿的地方好好栖息。” “死到临头还嘴硬，你们这群带原者！” 教授的态度突然大变，凶恶的表情毫不保留地出现在他的脸上，看来他的忍耐力差不多到极限了。 “一想到你们这群污秽不洁之徒居然厚颜无耻地徘徊在这片大地之上，就不禁令我毛骨悚然，我认为你们只适合被关在栅栏之中生活！” “我个人是觉得还不到厚颜无耻的程度。” 淳司提出反驳。 “我再说一次，我们希望的是与人类共生共存，因此才创立CRS这种组织，藉此努力地不为人类造成麻烦。” “共生共存？别说傻话了，你们这群怪物。” “想将这群怪物利用于战争的家伙，连怪物都不如。你这个啼泣爷（注：原文为子泣きじじい，日本的妖怪，外表像个老人，传说会发出婴儿般的哭声让人心软，背着他的人会像是被重物压住一样无法动弹直到死亡）！” 雅香的一句话让淳司笑了出来，失崎更是捂住嘴巴忍住笑意，遭中伤的高根教授则是气得满脸通红。 “就让你们尝尝神经瓦斯的滋味，测试先天性吸血鬼的生命力有多强韧似乎也颇有趣的。” 从刚刚一直将舞台的主角交给教授扮演而保持沉默的失崎，此时惊慌地开口： “请等一下，教授，就算校园再怎么大，这里毕竟是大都市的中心，要是放出神经瓦斯的话，事后的处理将……” “把这两个吸血鬼抓起来才是最重要的。而且瓦斯的重量很重，不会轻易扩散，时候喷洒中和剂就没问题了，就算这样行不通，处理的方法依然多的是。” “又不是不可燃垃圾，不要一直用处理这个词！” 在雅香开口抗议的那一瞬间，她的半边身体染上上橙色的光芒，在刹那的空白过后，巨大声响支配了众人的听觉，脚下的大地也开始摇晃，在初冬里不会出现的热风跟着扑到脸上。众人身旁的“建校百年纪念馆”突然爆炸了，火焰从窗户蹿出，四处都冒出黑烟。 所有人仿佛被看不见的网子束缚住一样呆站在原地，最先将网子撕裂的是淳司，他用惊人的力道单脚踏地，冲到失崎跟前朝他的下颚一踢，失崎的身体应声弹起，接着狼狈地向右后方滚去，高根教授瘦小的身体也在那个方向，就在这个时候，一团棕熊大小的火块正往两人的位置落下…… 之后就没继续看了，淳司只是抓住雅香的手往外跑，狼狈的叫声与此起彼伏的枪声从两人头上掠过，除此之外没有任何的追兵朝两人逼近，看来忠诚心和服从心也是有限度的，朝正门跑去的两人却只看见紧闭的大门，正当淳司觉得不妙的时候…… “这边、这边，年轻人。” 他们发现伯父正在小门的方向对自己招手，总算能够平安地逃出学校了。 “做得太过火了啦，伯父！” “我可是你们的救命恩人，而且作战也成功了。这样你们还有什么怨言吗？还有吗，小伙子？” "..." “要是被抓到就糟糕了，这可是大量杀人加上纵火的犯罪，赶快逃走吧。” “好厉害，我们变成凶恶的杀人犯了。” 大量的消防车鸣着警笛经过众人身旁，在大学的正门口筑起一道车墙，青铜制的大门内仿佛可以见到光与影正在激烈地争夺势力。 “明天社会新闻的头版大概就是这个了。话说回来，你们两个今天辛苦了，今晚就到此为止，好好回家休息吧，接下来就交给CRS善后。” 连雅香都不禁要担心善后问题。 “但是，做得那么过火，接下来的善后处理也不容易吧？而且日本警察也不会相信吸血鬼这种说词。” “不用怕，CRS多多少少也有些影响力，何况事件的主谋高根教授已经离开这个人世，他背后那群人也没办法公开整件事情，总之，一切交给我就对了。” 淳司若无其事地发问： “准备工作花了你不少功夫吧？” “那当然，各式各样的……” 惊觉说错话的伯父赶紧捂住嘴巴，但是已经太迟了，淳司将脸凑到伯父面前责问： “你打从一开始就知道整件事情的始末吧，他们的目标不是只有这个野丫头。” “伯父”呵呵地发出笑声。 “不，其实大约在一年前我们才得知，那个叫做高根的恶魔医师计划要加害我们族人，而秉持和平主义的我们为了自我防御才逼不得已……” “逼不得已才让侄子当诱饵的吗？” “因为是件危险的工作，总不能交给菜鸟来办，所以才会拜托有如我族希望之星的你帮忙接下这块烫手的山芋，那群家伙还以为成功地将我们引出，其实事情才不像他们想象得如此顺利，反而是他们被我们引出来了。” "..." “不过，这么一来我们也明白你的实力，今后还请多多拜托。我也很累了，今晚就到此为止吧，真是可喜可贺、可喜可贺。” 目送着一边挥手一边离去的“伯父”，淳司发出低沉的抱怨声。 “我、我不干了、我不干啦！谁要陪那个不良老头继续玩下去啊，该死的CRS，都给我堕入天国吧，我才不管什么先天性、后天性的。这哪里可喜可贺可喜可贺了，玩弄年轻人小心不得善终！” “别这么生气，教练，去喝杯茶消消气吧。” 雅香将身体贴在高大的淳司手臂上，淳司只是深深地叹气，看来已经平静下来了。 “我还算满意这种结果哟，伯父说得没错，只要是好结局就一切没问题了。接下来我们去餐厅庆祝我的第一件任务圆满落幕吧，今晚只要巧克力圣代就好了。” “只要那样就好了啊……” 露出苦笑的淳司从口袋中取出手帕。 “你看，把脸擦干净吧，别忘了你现在还穿着婚纱。虽然现在看起来一点也不像新娘穿的衣服，这副模样被餐厅的其他客人看见的话，肯定会使人产生许多遐想。” 互相看了看对方沾满煤炭的脸之后，两人一面轻笑一面朝着热闹的人群反方向走去。
