Chapter 12 Repertoire: Alive

"Red!" Mellie called.

The white-haired woman looked at Rhett with interest: "You actually have the same smell as me?"

"Azula, stay away from Merry." Red said coldly.

Azula, the original second daughter of the Fieldstone family and the original vampire monster.

"You are Rhett. Well, speaking of it, since you were adopted by this family, you can probably be considered my younger brother in terms of age." The white-haired woman called Azula stayed away from Mellie as Rhett wished. , her more interest at this time shifted to Rhett.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. Mellie is innocent." Rhett said.

"As long as you are a member of this family, you cannot be considered innocent." Azula said with a slight raise of her chin.

"My selfish desires caused this catastrophe, so wouldn't it be reasonable to use their lives to repay it all? Is Meili innocent? Isn't she a vested interest in the family's power?"

Azula looked at Red, her originally sharp eyes unexpectedly softened: "Speaking of which, the real innocent is actually you, this poor child. You became my substitute to make up for this family's uneasy conscience, and now you are willing to I resisted for them, and even...became like this."

Rhett tightened his grip on the sword.

Azula smiled and said, "Are you going to resist me?"

"If you don't give up."

"Your strength is far from stable. To me, you are like a newborn baby. Moreover, after you were reborn, you did not supplement your nutrition at all, and even squandered your unstable strength. Sister, give you a reminder. , you are no match for me." Azula said in a voice that was so gentle that it made your ears tingle.

"so what?"

Azula smiled and tilted her head, then her expression suddenly turned cold: "If you insist on resisting me, then I will let you experience what pain is, not just the physical kind. For example, controlling your body to kill Merry or something.”

Rhett's pupils shrank.

The next moment, his eyes flashed, and the white-haired figure had disappeared.

Suddenly there was a breath of air in his ear, and Azu closed the distance so that Red's face was almost touching: "If you are obedient and stay with sister, then I can't consider letting Mei Li live."

"You said...uh!"

Poof!

Before Rhett could finish his words, he instantly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Azula's hands penetrated deep into Red's back and came out from the front, and then gently touched Red's chest with her blood-stained white hands.

"Originally I wanted to say that, but let it go. I still want her to die."

Red's legs became weak and he knelt down directly on the ground. Azula looked at her blood-stained hands and stretched out her tongue to lick some.

"It tastes good. I like you more and more, brother Red."

"Red!" Mellie got off the bed and wanted to get closer to Red.

But Rhett raised his hand with difficulty: "Don't come over!"

Suddenly, Rhett felt his body stand up uncontrollably, and he looked at his body in disbelief.

"Just now, I injected my blood into your body. The stronger blood can easily dominate the weaker blood. Brother, you are still too weak," Azula said.

"what are you up to……"

"A little jealous." Azula still had a smile on her face, but her tone became gloomy: "Obviously they are sisters, why can she live such a normal and beautiful life under the sun, have a happy family, and... What about a cute, sensible little brother who can devote himself to me?"

Meili looked at Azula with a pale face: "I..."

"Is there anything you want to say? Sister, after listening to the story I just told you." Azula smiled.

It turned out that she had been standing at the end of the bed without making a move, but she was actually explaining the whole story to Meili.

Meili looked complicated: "I'm sorry, we're sorry for you."

"I'm so touched. Since I'm so sorry, then die here and leave this younger brother to me." Azula said in a relaxed tone.

"Sister! Run!" Rhett looked at his hand raising the sword, his eyes were about to burst, his body kept shaking and trying to resist, but he could only slow down his body movements slightly.

Suddenly, several blood-sucking monsters came over, carrying a person on their shoulders.

After walking up to them, drop them casually.

Meili couldn't help but cover her mouth, and tears began to flow.

Rhett's breathing was also stagnant, and he almost lost his mind.

The body of Grandfather Kachis... was almost not human-like, not a single part of his body was intact, and those determined eyes had been closed forever and would never be opened again.

"The old thing is finally dead. Today is so happy. So the last one is left, Merry."

Azula looked at Merry and said.

Rhett's sword is already pointed at Meili, and he only needs to send it forward to pierce the fragile body in front of him.

Suddenly Azula sighed.

Then, she looked at Meili and said, "It seems a bit boring to just stab it like this."

Rhett's eyes were fixed on her, as if questioning what she was going to do.

"Let's do this, Merry, I'll give you the choice." Azula said.

Mellie looked at her.

"I kill Rhett in front of your eyes, and then kill you, and finally let the two of you happily burn to ashes in this sea of ​​fire. This is an option. And, let Rhett kill you, and then you die, Red Live, of course he will be with me from now on. This is the second option, how about it? Pick one?"

Mellie bit her lip until it drew blood.

Rhett wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"Three...two..." Azula began to count down.

"one--"

"Let me die and let Red go..." Melly started.

Azula's smile deepened, and then she raised her hand and waved: "Let's do it, good brother."

Red shook his head desperately, but his hand began to send the sword forward.

Just when the sword was about to pierce into Meili's body, the coercive force suddenly relaxed.

Rhett was stunned. Before he could think about it, someone suddenly pushed him hard from behind.

laugh--

The sword passed through her chest, and Meili ran into his arms.

Melly looked up at Rhett. Amidst her tears, she showed her last gentle smile: "I'm sorry, Rhett...is alive..."

Red's face shed moist tears. He had never cried since being brought home by Mellie, and today, he shed tears for the first time.

how so……

It was obvious that he had worked hard to gain strength, but in the end, nothing happened...

This is all fake.

Something seemed to be broken in his mind, and he turned his head subconsciously.

Rhett found that he was no longer in the burning mansion, everything on his body had disappeared, and he was kneeling naked in a dimly lit theater.

Wan Yi walked out slowly and came to Red.

Rhett looked at Wan Yi with a dull expression, and big tears could not stop falling from his eyes.

Wan Yi squatted down gently.

Red threw himself directly into Wan Yi's arms, and his suppressed cries echoed in the theater.

"Why... why... why..." He kept asking. As for who the person he was asking about was probably many, many.

…

Red cried for a long time before calming down, and under Wan Yi's guidance, he learned to appear neatly dressed in the theater.

The two sat in the audience, silent for a long time.

"I am your clone, and I am also Red. I remembered some things just now."

"Because you awakened, from the script. Maybe it was because of the battle when you were about to die, or maybe it was because of the huge blow, or of course it could be both." Wan Yi said softly.

"Script..." Reid held a cup of hot tea and looked at the tea in the cup in a daze.

"Although it is a script, it is undoubtedly a real world for you." Wan Yidao.

Rhett nodded slightly.

After another moment of silence, Wan Yi picked up the coffee and took a sip: "I'm sorry for causing you pain. Until then, I can only watch and cannot help you."

"No, I'm not going to blame anyone." Rhett shook his head.

"Is that so? I was thinking of giving you a clone to use as a punching bag." Wan Yi made a little joke, but Red didn't answer.

Wan Yi could only ask: "What are you going to do next?"

Red said calmly: "Go back and find a way to kill Azula."

"Revenge."

This will not be an easy thing, Red knows very well, because he is still actually controlled by Azula.

"Anyway, now that you are in the theater, you are no longer alone. If you need help, feel free to ask. Although you are better than me now, there are still more or less capable people in this theater." Wan Yi said.

Rhett said: "Thank you."

"They are all our own people."

At this moment, the side door of the theater was pushed open again, and a handsome man in military uniform walked into the theater again.

When he saw Red, his eyes lit up: "A newcomer is here? It's so fast. This is only the first round. I thought it would take at least a few rewrites before we can create an awakening."

Although Rhett experienced the gap from heaven to hell, he successfully awakened, so the matter was not over yet.

Most of the protagonists in the scripts died before they could do anything, and they were never on the verge of awakening.

"Hello." Rhett greeted politely, while looking at this person.

"He...his name is not used much anymore, so just call him Demon Lord." Wan Yi introduced this somewhat slutty uncle to Red.

"My name is Rhett Fieldstone, just call me Rhett." Rhett introduced himself.

"Why are you feeling a little depressed? Did you cry just now?" The Demon Lord glanced at the tears on Red's face and asked bluntly.

"Yeah." But Rhett was not embarrassed and nodded in response.

"Being bullied? Let me think about it. Holding a sacrificial ceremony for 500 people should be able to reduce one-tenth of my power across the world. If your enemy is not very powerful, you should try it."

"Five hundred people?" Rhett wondered.

"Sacrifice." The Demon Lord said.

Rhett frowned slightly, but finally shook his head.

"Yes, five hundred people is indeed a bit too much. Sacrifice is still a bit difficult for ordinary people to accept." The Demon Lord also knew that he was talking nonsense and sat down on the other side of Wan Yi.

"Red, are you a vampire?"

"vampire?"

"They are blood-sucking humanoid monsters, commonly known as vampires, and the higher-end ones are vampires," the Demon Lord said.

"Then I am."

Wan Yi handed Red's red script to the Demon Lord: "Take a look for yourself, it's all in it."

The Demon Lord opened the script and started reading it with great interest.

He read it quickly and finished it in one go. He closed the script and said, "So what Red has to do next is to become stronger and take revenge."

"That's right." Rhett nodded.

"I see you like using swords?"

Rhett nodded.

The Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction: "If you can't beat your sister from the 'blood' level, then maybe you can consider strengthening yourself from the 'skill' point of view."

"Strengthening sword skills? It is indeed an idea, but can pure sword skills make up for that level of strength gap?" Rhett expressed doubts. His original idea was to continue studying witchcraft.

"For you, of course it won't be pure skills. After you become a vampire, you should still have a lot of power that has not yet been developed. Combining the power of the vampire with your sword and the witchcraft you have learned, the trinity, maybe What kind of qualitative change can it produce?" The Demon Lord pointed.

Rhett mused.

"In this theater, you can try whatever you want. If you need someone to practice with, I'm also happy to accompany you. By the way, the witchcraft in your world seems to be somewhat similar to that of alchemy. You can also call a 'good person' to help you. Just call the troupe leader." The Demon Lord said.

"Good man? Troupe leader?" Rhett was puzzled.

"The troupe leader is a nickname they gave me. You don't need to pay too much attention." Wan Yi explained, "Liang Rendao is a barefoot doctor and an awakened dramatist. He is good at all kinds of tricks and knows many strange things. It is possible to know some knowledge, even things across the world. If necessary, you can ask him."

"Oh, okay..." Rhett nodded.

Under the kind treatment of Wan Yi and the Demon Lord, Red's grief that he had just experienced was somewhat calmed down.

After resting for a long time, he stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back."

"Take care." Wan Yi said.

"Come on." The Demon Lord encouraged.

Rhett nodded and left through the side door of the theater.

Push open the side door and walk into the darkness.

As his consciousness faded and awakened, he once again felt that he was holding a corpse in his arms that had begun to lose its temperature.

Trembling slightly in his heart, he turned to look at Azula, his scarlet eyes no longer sparkling.

Azula looked at him and found that his mood swings were calmer than expected.

"If you want to stay here for a while, then stay here. We already have a blood connection. I usually won't restrict your freedom too much, but if I find you, you must appear within two hours. In front of me." After Azula finished speaking, she turned and left.

Rhett was left holding Mellie's body in silence.

…

In the middle of the night, it rained.

The heavy rain extinguished the flames in the mansion. In the mansion full of burning smell, Rhett carried four corpses to the corner of the garden, which was relatively intact.

He dug up the earth with his hands, buried them, and then covered them with four small, crude tombs.

Mother, father, grandfather, sister.

Rhett's long burgundy hair got wet and stuck to his body under the heavy rain. He stared at it for a long time before turning around and leaving.

He returned to the secret room. Because of the design of the secret room, it was difficult for flames to burn in, and the books inside were well preserved.

Rhett packed up all the books and took them away.

Before leaving, he took one last look at this place where warmth and sadness coexisted, and then turned around and left without any further memories.

Images of dead relatives flashed through his mind, and finally settled on what Meili said before she died.

"Living... is really a difficult thing." He couldn't help but whisper.

Feeling good, but not completely good
