Chapter 1486: Twilight Event (Part 8)

When Red Robin rushed to the Mayfair villa, nothing was left here except bloodstains. Red Robin had just pried open the lock and walked in when he saw a long trail of blood dragged from the window to the door.

"Someone died. The fatal wound is in the chest. Judging from the amount of bleeding, there is no possibility of rescue. The corpse was dragged out all the way."

Countless images flashed through Red Robin's mind. As he walked inside, he speculated: "Cain and Mary chased someone here and killed them... Who could that be?"

And when he walked up to the second floor along the stairs, Red Robin paused and said: "No, that's not right. Their target might not be the outsider who came here, or rather, not just the outsider. They also came to find the owner of this house!"

Red Robin turned around in the reception hall on the second floor, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy. He knelt halfway at the top of the stairs and picked up a whitish hair at the base of the railing.

Red Robin closed his eyes. After a moment of thought, he spat out a name: "Great Mage Andrew..."

He stood up and looked around, saying: "If I'm not mistaken, one of his apprentices betrayed him, leading the pursuers here all the way. And Andrew said he was going to find Bruce Wei En when he left the Forgotten Bar."

Red Robin sighed lightly. Lilith said in his heart: "It seems Bruce has already been taken away by them. They most likely used magic to control them both."

"No, I'm afraid there is only one." Red Robin explained: "Their target might have been Great Mage Andrew from the beginning. I saw in a book recording the history of the magical world that Great Mage Andrew also participated in the First Blood War and killed the patriarch of the Brujah clan. They have a blood feud."

"Although vampires occupy Westminster Abbey now, they still dare not rush directly into the residence of the Great Mage Alliance. And Andrew had a falling out with the members of the Great Mage Alliance, so he was left alone."

"The Blood Queen Mary has been planning this for a long time. They might have controlled Great Mage Andrew's apprentice long ago. Knowing he was heading to some mysterious place alone, they would naturally instruct the traitor to report back at any time."

"Then, they learned from the traitor that Great Mage Andrew had sought out Bruce Wei En. Therefore, they must have deduced that Great Mage Andrew wanted to rely on the Wei En family's power to revive the magical world. This is something the vampires absolutely cannot tolerate."

"Moreover, they must know that even if they are at war with the magical world, they have already invaded Westminster Abbey, which is slapping the British royal family in the face. They will inevitably have a battle with ordinary people, so controlling Bruce Wei En is very necessary."

"But what makes me a bit unable to understand is..." Red Robin looked around and said: "How come it seems Bruce didn't resist?"

At this time, Lilith in his mind sighed and said: "The magic of vampire mental control comes precisely from me. I am the mother of the succubus. Cain obtained the method of using succubi to control others from that drop of my blood."

"No, Bruce wouldn't be controlled so easily." Red Robin began to search for clues in the room again.

"You don't understand Cain. Actually, his status..."

"It's you who don't understand Batman... Found it." Red Robin touched a micro-camera on the side of a picture frame on the wall. He looked around, rolled his eyes lightly, and then ran downstairs.

Soon, Red Robin tracked the signal at the basement door with a micro-device. He checked the basement door lock and found it was an eight-digit combination lock, then returned upstairs to look for clues.

The puzzle was not difficult, just the first letters of the eight books on the bookshelf. Soon Red Robin found the password, opened the combination lock, and walked in, indeed finding an entire monitoring system.

Opening the screen, Red Robin began to search for the recording from more than ten minutes ago. After fast-forwarding for a while, he indeed saw Cain's face.

When Cain mentioned turning Bruce into his descendant, Red Robin frowned heavily.

But on the display screen, Bruce's expression was a bit strange. He just followed the force of Cain's grip on his neck, raised his head slightly, stared at Cain's blood-eyes with those blue eyes, and asked.

"Are you a vampire?"

"I am the vampire ancestor Cain. You should have seen my name in that 'Bible' full of nonsense." Cain didn't seem to be in a hurry, but chatted with Bruce with interest.

Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly, making a surprised expression. His eyes never left Cain's eyes, and Cain had never encountered any human who dared to stare into his eyes for so long.

Although Cain was humanoid, the various things about him that were different from humans made people more afraid, especially those blood-red eyes filled with mysterious patterns. When people stared at him, they would feel that they were not staring at their own kind, but at a monster that fed on them.

"What do you want?" Bruce asked again: "My money, my status, my social standing?"

"Of course, but when I bestow glory upon you, you will find that these are not important." Cain's tone lowered, and he said: "The wealth of human society is like a passing cloud. The collapse of dynasties will take everything away, and you will forever transcend this boring power game and walk toward greatness with me."

Bruce's pupils shrank. He stared tightly at Cain's eyes and said: "Will I..."

He swallowed, took a deep breath, and then asked the question: "... Will I achieve immortality?"

"That is the least important thing I bestow upon you."

The muscles on Bruce's face trembled, while the Blood Queen Mary walked forward and said: "Boy, how can you talk to the great Master about these vulgar things? Do you want to seek immortality by all means like that group of decadent nobles in the Middle Ages?"

"No one doesn't want to seek immortality." Bruce paused for a moment and then shifted his gaze. He looked at Mary and said: "Especially since I am so wealthy, how could I not want to live forever?"

Mary sighed lightly, looking a bit more relaxed. She walked to Cain's side, lowered her head, and said to him: "Master, I have seen too many such people. They want to enjoy their current wealth, status, and honor forever. Most of the pawns we buried among humans are tempted by this."

Mary actually wanted to show that besides burying hidden dangers in the magical world, she also had arrangements among humans, so as to claim credit.

But when Bruce heard Mary's words and shifted his gaze, Cain felt a subtle dissatisfaction.

When those tortured humans raised their eyes to stare at him with fearful gazes, Cain would derive pleasure from tormenting the descendants of Adam and Eve. And when some brave ones among them would rather die than yield, staring at him with hateful eyes, he would feel offended. He felt these humble bugs were not worthy of looking him in the eye.

When Bruce stared at him for the first time, his first reaction was also dissatisfaction, and he wanted to teach this boy who didn't know the height of the sky a lesson. But when Bruce kept staring at him, he felt a trace of curiosity.

Is he not afraid? How long can he persist? If his hand exerted a little force to make him suffocate, would there be fear in his gaze?

Cain thought of this and wanted to put his actions into practice, but Bruce shifted his gaze because of Mary.

Bruce shifted his gaze, not because of the pain he bestowed upon him, nor because of his fear of him, but because a stupid woman had to interrupt him at this time.

Instantly, Mary was slapped away, slamming heavily against the wall. An invisible hand grabbed her head and slammed it into the floor. Mary let out an extremely sharp scream.

Mary, lying on the ground, wanted to beg for mercy, but she met Cain's cold, emotionless gaze. She covered her mouth in fear and shrank into the corner.

Now, this room belonged to Cain and Bruce.

"Can you bestow immortality upon me?" Bruce asked.

Cain stared into Bruce's azure eyes. He saw a kind of emotion there that he couldn't understand, which aroused his curiosity again, so he asked: "Why do you want immortality? Just to enjoy your wealth and status?"

Bruce swallowed, as if ashamed to speak. His eyeballs turned slightly, as if thinking of an excuse, looking just like a simple boy who was late for a date with his girlfriend but wanted to lie to his parents.

And Cain was not annoyed by this raw deception, because he thought his majesty was enough for him to tolerate a simple and reckless little lamb, so he naturally wouldn't fly into a rage to destroy his majesty and composure.

"You had better tell the truth, child. After the embrace ritual is completed, you will reveal all your secrets to me. Don't let me find out you lied to me."

A trace of hesitation and conflict appeared on Bruce's face, but after a while, he still opened his mouth and said: "I think I am different from them."

"Who do they refer to?"

"Others... other humans I know." Bruce pursed his lips, raised his eyelid slightly on one side, and said: "I think I am the chosen one, born with a strong physique, a wise brain, and almost endless wealth, so I am different from those unfortunate ones."

Bruce's fingertips trembled slightly. He looked at Cain again and continued: "But our differences are not enough. No matter how much wealth or status I have, I still have to walk toward death with those poor wretches. I hate this point, and I have hated it for many years."

"I have tried to make them die early, but no matter how miserably they died, I could hear them calling me before they died, telling me they were waiting for me in Hell, and that we would eventually end up in the same place."

"Bruce... Bruce!

!" Great Mage Andrew, leaning against the wall and gasping, called out, shouting loudly: "Don't be bewitched by them! They are using mental magic to influence you!... Urgh!

"

Mary flicked her hand in that direction, and Great Mage Andrew was slapped away again. This time he lay on the ground without a sound.

"Is this your real thought?" Cain looked at Bruce and asked.

"I have never told anyone." Bruce revealed a mocking smile and said: "Because this orderly society would think I am a wicked person. They call this being rich and unkind. But why should I get along well with people who are not my kind?"

"Arrogance." Cain evaluated, but then used a tone of slight appreciation: "One of the most unsolvable original sins of humans, but I like it very much."

"God doesn't love the world at all. He only enjoys offerings and favors piety, so he regards arrogance as one of the unsolvable original sins, because the end of arrogance is impiety."

"I also appreciate your honesty very much, but you had better be honest all the time. Since you say you feel other humans are not your kind, then go kill them."

Cain turned to look at Great Mage Andrew lying by the wall and said to Bruce: "Go kill him and offer him as a sacrifice to me, and I will bestow upon you the glory of immortality."

Instantly, Bruce turned to look at Great Mage Andrew. Great Mage Andrew's pupils reflected Bruce's indifferent face and those blue eyes that were like polar ice.

Red Robin's pupils shrank, completely stunned by this scene. He stood stiffly in place, petrified into a statue.

Bruce killed Andrew??!
