Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

04. Appointment in the Mountains

When returning home, a car suddenly lost control. Edward rescued Bella, who discovered something strange about Edward. He was obviously far away from me. He was in front of his Volvo, on the other side of the road. How could he be so fast and so powerful? For several consecutive nights, Edward's figure always appeared in Bella's mind or in front of her. She couldn't tell the difference. She felt that Edward was very mysterious. From his various strange behaviors, she began to wonder about Edward's identity.

Bella came to the bookstore in the town and learned from the book that they were vampires and they had abilities that ordinary people did not have.

Bloodlust: Blood can maintain the activity of viruses in their blood, and viruses are the source of all abilities.

Immortality: The viruses in their blood can accelerate cell metabolism and cycles, making the body never age, thus achieving immortality.

Self-healing: When a wound is injured, the virus causes cells to quickly renew and repair. Generally, blood needs to be replenished. The more serious the injury, the more blood needs to be replenished.

Different viruses also have certain special abilities.

Speed: Able to move to another place instantly. The virus penetrates into muscle cells, greatly increasing the density of muscles. It uses explosive power to instantly complete a series of coherent movements, which can reach 100 times that of ordinary people.

Strength: The virus promotes increased cell vitality (muscle concentration, enhanced density, and blood vessel dilation). With extremely high muscle density, it can display tremendous strength, which is several times that of ordinary people.

Reading thoughts: The desires of ordinary humans can be read through the eyes. Only the more powerful ones of the same kind can obtain the memories of others through blood. Not all families have this ability.

Transformation: Every vampire has a part of blood called blood base, which is the blood containing the original virus or mother, and it controls all abilities. The blood base can be selectively released through the teeth according to the will. Only the blood base with the ability to transform will be transformed. Therefore, it will not be transformed if it is bitten. Even if it is transformed, the level will be reduced step by step. Different races have different blood backgrounds. The purer and older they are, the more powerful their abilities are.

Silver: Vampires are afraid of silver utensils. The virus in vampires contains a special and critical mycin, which can penetrate into the skin and produce atomic oxygen after contact with silver ions (Ag+). Atomic oxygen has a strong virus-killing function. Therefore, as long as vampires touch silver, a violent chemical reaction will occur, causing burning. At the same time, silver can inactivate viruses, thereby killing them. Garlic can also kill viruses, but it is not as effective as silver, so vampires hate garlic.

Their blood contains viruses that attack other blood cells and gain vitality from the blood. They have a strict hierarchy. The first-generation vampires only have the ability to live forever and heal themselves. The virus in their blood is very weak. Once it leaves the host, it completely loses its activity and therefore has no ability to transform others. Viruses from different groups are incompatible and attack each other, so two viruses in the same body are very dangerous. Their bodies don't burn directly in broad daylight, but the virus is suppressed during the day which incapacitates them, and they age when exposed to direct sunlight, so they don't like sunlight. They are accustomed to night life, and the virus is most active from 9 pm to 3 am. They enjoy the moonlight, which can restore their physical strength.

Their skin is usually whiter, not the kind of whitening that comes from nursing care, but slightly pale, as if they are recovering from a serious illness. Their body temperature is lower than that of normal people, and they are not afraid of cold, but they are intolerant of heat and afraid of fire. In summer, they like to go to the mountains to escape the heat. When they suck blood, they will protrude sharp teeth from their mouths. Once an ordinary person is bitten, a liquid with anesthetic effect will flow out from the teeth, and then they will lose consciousness, and they will enjoy the blood unknowingly. They desire wealth, are extremely greedy, are good at seduction, reject aliens, and crave emotion. Most of them live in groups, like heights, pay attention to quality, have mysophobia, and like the lively life at night. Favor red and black, are good at camouflage, love the spotlight, and mostly enjoy the feeling of being sought after.

Some of them are vegetarians and do not drink blood. If they do not drink blood for a long time, the activity of the virus will gradually weaken until it completely stops. At this time, the virus in the blood is in a dormant state, and then all abilities disappear, like Like a person in a coma. Since the virus is inactive, their body functions are no different from ordinary people. They can obtain energy from vegetables, meat, and grains, taste the sweet, bitter, and spicy food, feel the warmth of the sun, the gentleness of the breeze, and have rich emotions. Will get sick, age, and eventually die from cell failure. But blood can slowly wake up the virus. The longer the dormant time is, the longer it takes to wake up. However, blood from the same family can wake up immediately because the blood contains the same original virus.

Vegetarians can control greed and desire, gain wisdom and recognize things with a keen eye. They usually live alone, like to be quiet, have a calm personality, act in a low-key manner, are content with a simple and unpretentious life, pursue knowledge, and often hide themselves
