EP.46 Heartbeat
What is the biggest difference between day and night?
Of course it is the presence or absence of light.
Light illuminates the world and presents the power to discern the future in this harsh world. Without light, we can’t know anything. Even if death is right in front of you, you may face it innocently like a three-year-old child.
The unknown is fear, not courage. The fact that invisible fangs do not dig into the neck when taking a step in the dark is not a result of courage, but only luck. Ordinary people who realize that instinctively avoid the darkness.
As a lesson for those who acted recklessly and did not return.
“Get up.”
That’s why the night was always the target of vigilance. The unknown is fear and fear.
Building a house and lighting a fire by humans is also a self-rescue measure prepared to drive out the darkness. It is an act of filling the surroundings with familiar things to alleviate fear.
“Get up.”
“Haaaaaaaa!”
So when someone broke into my room in the middle of the night. I jumped up hysterically and turned on the bedside lamp.
Who is hiding in the middle of the night without any sign? Even in my room. It must have come with bad intentions…
I thought so, but the reflection in my eyes was so unexpected.
She was a beautiful girl with a pure white impression. It feels like it lacks pigment rather than having white.
A pale face, silver hair without coloration, an expression without warmth, a chest without movement.
A sickly impression, as if missing some of the things that make up life.
The aristocratic and classical elegance oozes out, but the appearance looks young compared to the mysterious atmosphere. However, it was not that he had grown less, but that it was fleeting, as if his growth had been taken away at some point.
Are you a ghost? Her hair and limbs are extremely thin. It’s hard to get close to it because it seems like it will break if you touch it. I feel the risk of danger like seeing a white porcelain right before it falls to the floor.
But insecurity is also a charm in itself. When will it fall and how will it break? How beautiful is the red liquid flowing between the broken pieces? Because such anticipation gives rise to dizzying and immoral impulses.
The whole body’s blood is drawn to it. It’s dark. I feel a dizziness similar to falling. I reached out my hand without even realizing it.
“ah.”
read the opponent.
You’re a vampire.
Why are you here?
no way.
“Are you finally here to open the belly of the goose that lays the golden eggs?”
Even in the dark, the glowing red eyes were full of wonder.
“What is the sound of a baton banging while sleeping?”
“Are you that hungry? But think for a moment. This is a very stupid choice. About 5 liters of blood flowed through my body. If you catch me now, you’ll only get that much blood. However, I can produce blood every day, and if I squeeze to the extreme, I can give about 300mL of blood per week. If it’s 17 weeks and about 120 days, it’s like it’s a benefit to save me from then. remember Become an interest rate monster. A person who lives a long life like you will benefit unconditionally…” I
, who imparts forbidden knowledge to a vampire who will live forever unless the world perishes, may have created a monster…
The vampire looked down at me and said.
“Did you wake up?”
“yes. It’s a little teasing, so I’m coming to my senses.”
“okay. May I sit down?”
“Ah yes.”
When I nodded, the vampire created a black chair out of the air and sat on it.
I sat down on the bed and wiped my face with my hand a few times. I don’t feel hostility or appetite from the other person. It seems that he was not destined to die today.
I hope you don’t find it too strange that I’m scared. A vampire who came quietly in the middle of the night. It’s one of the world’s three major horror genres after Ho-Ho and Mama.
I’m glad the vampire had no intention of harming me. If it wasn’t for that, I’d be like a palm tree that’s fallen to the ground.
“What are you doing in my room at night?”
I asked a question to read my thoughts, but the vampire gave an honest answer without needing to use mind reading.
“okay. I came to you because I have something to tell you. I think I was in a bit of a rush, but I don’t think there’s any chance if it’s not during the night…”
The vampire looked around for a moment before speaking, then slightly covered his face with a parasol and lowered his head.
“I called you from outside, but you didn’t wake up. I had no choice but to step into your room…. Why are you so deep in your sleep? Didn’t I have to come in myself?”
‘It’s unimaginable for a girl to secretly visit a man’s room in the middle of the night.’
Hey, I want you to realize that you are a vampire before anything else. I was very scared. The pounding of my heart right now is the beat of fear that I would feel when meeting my nemesis.
It was me who suffered, but why did he suffer the loss…
Ehra. I stuck out my tongue as I laughed evilly.
“Quack. The fact that you secretly came to me in the middle of the night means you’re prepared… Did you miss me that much? OK. I’ll treat you the way you want…”
“Don’t play around. I am serious.”
Displeased with red eyes. She breaks in at night and I don’t even let her play. It’s not fair.
But the age difference between me and the vampire is more than unfair. Except for the tail, he quickly turned around.
“It’s because you keep talking. A normally laid-back person came all the way here in the middle of the night because he was exhausted. Why are you just twisting your hair without saying a word?”
“That’s… It’s a little sudden for me to say this. That’s an urgent request of you.”
“Quickly. I’m just a human, so I can’t read the inside of the Tyrkanjaka trainees. I don’t know if you don’t say it.”
Actually I know. I just read it.
Or maybe, since I tried cardiac resuscitation today, I had a hunch that this might be the case. The vampire’s yearning for a stopped heart and a stolen life was still hardened even after a thousand years.
just as expected. The vampire made up his mind and looked straight at me. In the red eyes, the human desire that held on to a ray of hope was burning hotly.
It was like seeing a beginner holding a good hand on a gambling board.
“I mean the heart. What you did today made my stopped heart beat again.”
“yes.”
“There is a heart that has stopped in my body too. A brazier that has not been lit for a long time and is out of order.”
The vampire’s heart doesn’t beat. Their hearts are frozen cold and only bleed. The vampire’s heart is just a place where numerous blood streams meet in one place.
If so, how does their blood work? How does the red liquid, which is also the source of life, move?
The answer is surprisingly simple.
hematology.
A vampire’s skill to deal with blood that the regressor tried to learn.
It directly controls each drop of blood and spreads it throughout the body. It is to push one by one into the skin through the muscle gap. The blood, completely controlled by one’s will, moves the body without a heartbeat.
That’s why vampires can live even when they’re dead.
“Will you revive that brazier with your flame?”
That’s why the vampire’s heart doesn’t beat. Their hearts stop. Blood flows freely regardless of the heart. As naturally as a river flows.
Squeezing and passionate blood flow is a concept that does not exist for vampires. They are neither excited nor sad. Even if you felt such a feeling, there is not a single effect on the body.
“Please. I want to die alive with a beating heart….”
The face does not blush. The pits do not rise. The field of view does not narrow.
Eyes don’t turn red Tears don’t flow. My hands and feet trembled from tension, and sadness did not constrict my whole body.
excitement and sadness. It just ends with a flashing thought in my head. Emotions without hormones have no continuity.
For the past millennium, some people have admired vampires. They envied even the immortal body and cool composure that they did not have. The only emotion a vampire can have is admiration for his blood lord.
However, the founder, Tirkanjaka, had never liked it for a moment.
So the vampire came to me. The heartfelt wish that has been cherished for a thousand years, but with the empty regret that cannot be realized through the heart.
As I stared at her in silence, the vampire smiled sadly.
“…a bit ugly isn’t it? He said that he had already lived for over a thousand years, but he had no regrets. You have lived many times as many others, so you want to live longer without shame.”
I answered with a shrug.
“What. The fact that I have lived so far cannot fade my desire to live in the future.”
The vampire opened his mouth slightly at my unexpectedly kind reply.
“I knew you would make fun of me. Surprisingly.”
“When did you say that I made fun of the Tyrkanjaka trainee? How much did you take care of with a consistent attitude? There is no one who is as diligent in respecting the elderly as I am.”
“…is not it? Am I still being teased?”
Until now, every time I touched my age, I was strangely concerned. Did you feel that you had no shame in living any longer?
The vampire lowered his gaze and murmured.
“I am not afraid of death. already died once I am not afraid of pain either. I’ve been through a lot of pain for a long time. But the experiences, emotions, and pain I felt with this body… all filtered once. It is contemplated by slowly flowing blood. I feel like all my years have been fake, it’s so horrible…”
The vampire grabbed my arm out of the blue. A cold hand held me as if it were a final rope. The power contained in it is not much, but I couldn’t shake off the vampire’s hand.
With a lot of cold sorrow, the vampire begged me.
“I will do anything. Please. revive my heart.”
Write. this is not good
A faint anticipation seeping out of faded hope. damn dream. lost heart.
All of these things drive magicians crazy.
When you see yourself longing for hope that you didn’t even believe in, you want to be surprised somehow.
It is the magician’s duty to instill illusions.
I asked again.
“Are you willing to do anything?”
“okay. It’s a thousand-year wish, but can’t you say something?”
“then.”
woke up in bed The vampire’s gaze follows me. The head of the vampire sitting on the chair only reached my waist at most.
After straightening the futon, he patted the hard mattress and gave orders.
“Remove your breasts and lie down here.”
Then the vampire’s eyes trembled. Like someone who never predicted that such a reaction would come out.
“Are you going to loosen up your chest? that.”
“You said you would do anything?”
This attitude, this look.
Desperation and the hope found there. be used to. At the same time, my mouth waters as if I saw delicious prey. My intuition, having lived as a back alley card player, is shouting.
this is a hoggo
I just got a good hand and was prepared to follow me if I ran. A hukou that can suck the spine down to the blood.
The name of the gambler will cry if he just sends a hukou like this.
“You have to lie down to do the work. Come on.”
ordered sternly. The vampire flinched to see if his feet would not come off easily. A white hand grabs the air for no reason and then lets go. Then, as if he had made up his mind before long, he grabbed his collar with his small hands and stood up.
