Chapter 958, Afraid of the Light!
Light!
It's a word that sounds very moving, and it's also something that is impossible to see, and light doesn't just refer to the light source you see, but to the goodness in your heart.
As a young man, Wells sat in a black carriage, the illegitimate son of a wealthy earl, who, in the Middle Ages, would not have received any fiefdom or any good end, as if fate had predestined him to be a man of inaction, to be swept away from the house when he reached adulthood, and from then on he would wander into the slums, and perhaps never drink sweet wine again.
Wells was 15 years old that year, three years before his coming-of-age ceremony, and he was very intelligent, especially with a very strange and very gifted understanding of words, and sometimes he would look at the night sky outside by himself in a daze, and there was no one around.
His mother died early and never took care of him, he was raised by his wet nurse, of course, he couldn't give his wet nurse anything, that rich father, if he hadn't inherited the rich family property and put on gorgeous clothes, was essentially just a hooligan, a gangster, a scoundrel.
Wells was walking on the road to the castle, today his father said that there was something important to announce to him, when Wells walked through the mirror, he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror, the height of one meter eight is already very good for a 15-year-old child, this little black dress on his body looks very good, this is what his father specially asked him to do last night, to be honest, Wells has not worn such a beautiful dress.
With some emaciated figures, a pale face, and delicate facial features, sometimes several of Wells's unfriendly brothers would insult him with words like this: "Wells, when you are eighteen years old, if you can't find a living, then go and become a male prostitute, there will be a lot of rich women who will throw a lot of money on you, haha!" Of course, maybe there are some aristocrats who like men, and they will definitely take a fancy to you, and you may be able to become our Romanian male cleopatra, haha! ”
In the face of such ridicule and insults, Wells never responded, only when he went to church every day, he would tell the godfather his distress, but the godfather said to him: "Just believe in God, God will lead you into a beautiful world!" Bring you light and peace in your heart, and all will pass, poor Wells. ”
Wells, who was a devout Orthodox believer at the time, looked in the mirror and walked into his father's study, and as soon as he entered the study, he saw his father looking at the door with a difficult face, and beside him stood a man, a man of some tall stature, wearing a red cloak, and his face was very pale, as if he were dead. However, this man is very good-looking, so good-looking, like a beautiful girl, but more tender and evil than a beautiful girl.
Wells thought to himself: How can there be such a strange man in the world? It's really curious.
Father beckoned to Wells, who walked over, bent down respectfully, and asked, "Father, are you looking for me for something?" ”
He looked at his father's tired and painful face, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and then he saw his father slowly stand up, pointed at Wells and said: "It's him, you see if he can do it, don't take my daughter, my daughter is only 13 years old, he is my illegitimate son, but he was born with a beautiful face!" ”
The man in the red cloak slowly turned his head, Wells saw that there was a flash of red light in the man's eyes, and the black hair was hanging softly on his shoulders, and he stared at Wells for a long time, feeling like he was examining his own woman, which made Wells very uncomfortable.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Wells opened his mouth to ask, but before he could ask, he was slapped hard by his father, Wells fell to the ground, touched his aching cheek, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, his father was really violent, Wells actually wanted to fight back, but he saw the cross exposed on his chest, and the violence in his heart gradually calmed down, and he slowly got up from the ground, standing silently in the corner without speaking.
The father was still begging the man, and the other man finally spoke, in a low, languid voice, as if he had been asleep for hundreds of years.
"You go out first, and let me be alone with this kid for a while."
The man's voice came like a command, and the father slowly stepped back and closed the door, leaving Wells and the man in the room, and the man beckoned to him, and Wells timidly walked over and stood in front of the man. The man waved his hand, and the curtains on the windows around him were closed, and the candles on the table lit up by themselves, which startled Wells, and he looked at the man in surprise, could he be the devil?
Wells took a few steps back in fright, took out a cross from his neck and pointed it at the man, who suddenly laughed and said, "You believe in God?" ”
Wells was stunned for a moment, nodded, and the other party smiled and said, "I also believe it, because if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today." It's just a pity that I am now standing in darkness and not becoming a lamb in his Garden of Eden. ”
Wells did not understand his words, but asked aloud, "You, are you the devil?" ”
The man shook his head, and then his body shook behind Wells, and then Wells felt something sharp touch on his neck, he was startled, his body stiffened, and the man hugged Wells and whispered, "I'm a vampire, to be exact, I should be the first vampire." You can call me Cain, you can call me Dracula, I have many, many names, I live in different times, with different identities. However, now I am a special person, I am the president of the Dark Council, and your father has given his children to us because he signed a contract with us to make him a rich man in Romania. But it's clear that I have a crush on your sister, but he wants to replace your sister with you. ”
Hearing this, Wells was shocked, and replaced his sister with himself, because he was an illegitimate child, because he was the child of a poor maid, because he was the fault of his father after a drunken time?
"My father has always been bad to me, so what do you want? Turn me into a vampire? Or ......"
Wells clutched the cross, but the man behind him laughed, let go of Wells and said loudly: "I don't like the feeling of being restrained, I like freedom, just because I can't beat a weird man from the East, this man is the boss of our organization, too powerful, forcing me to become the president of the Dark Council, so I can only agree." But you can take my place, I won't turn you into a vampire, because then you will follow my old path, I will make you the real Lord of Darkness, and I will use more possibilities on you! So, would you like to? Turn your back on your God and go with me. ”
The man asked with a smile, Wells naturally refused, but the other party laughed and said, "Did you refuse?" Do you think your Lord will bless you? Then I'll come back to you again in three years' time, and then, if you don't want to, I'll take your sister with me. ”
The man disappeared, Wells stood in the black room, but he didn't know that three years later, a large-scale vampire family riot broke out in Romania, his family was attacked overnight, his father left the family with his sister and all the belongings, leaving him alone and fled into the church, he thought that the priest would shelter him, who knows, he found that after being locked up in the church for more than ten days, because there was really nothing to eat, the priest actually raised a knife and slashed at him, he was surprised, is this the spokesman of God he has always believed in?
At that moment, he killed the mad priest with a knife and prayed faithfully, but when his first prayer was over, the church was breached, and the whole church was burned in flames.
The vampire from three years ago landed in front of him again and said to him, "Do you think you are weak? It's been three years, I'm waiting for your answer, if you don't want to, maybe you'll die here. ”
Wells looked at the torn corpse of the priest in the distance, at the burned church, at the vampires standing quietly in the distance, and he slowly ripped off the cross around his neck and discarded it on the ground.
He stood up with his head bowed and said, "I am willing to be the Lord of Darkness, I am willing to follow you, I am willing to throw myself into the darkness!" I need more power, the power so that I don't die! ”
On that day, Wells embarked on the path of the Lord of Darkness, and to this day, the president of the Council of Darkness, his heart has been completely abandoned by the light, obscured by the darkness, and he is afraid to face the light, afraid that the light will fall into his heart.
Perhaps the light could not harm him, but it would destroy his fragile soul and heart, and at that moment, Wells would cease to exist, leaving only an immortal shell!
Today, it's the same castle, but it's been destroyed, and I'm standing across from Wells, ready to put an end to it!
