Chapter 78 Jonathan, I'm not a man anymore
"Eli... no, Mina." Earl Dracula stepped slightly under his feet, and the cross at the top of the church under him turned into a ball of debris, and then his body was floating in the air, "Follow me... back to Transylvania."
"Dracula!" Jonathan gritted his teeth and looked up at the vampire count covered in blood. "Don't think about it anymore, she won't go with you!"
"Mr. Hack, long time no see." Although Count Dracula was polite, his expression seemed to be looking at a tiny ant. "Since I have saved your life, why don't you cherish it, but you have to appear here?"
Jonathan seemed to recall the period when he was imprisoned by Count Dracula. Although Count Dracula did not kill him, that period was also his most humiliating time. While worried about Mina's safety, he kept regretting why he let the demon see the photo of his fiancée. But when he saw the blood of the count, he still asked with a disgust: "In order to maintain your strength, how many people have you killed!"
"Who knows?" Earl Dracula waved his hand, and the blood on his body began to surge like a living thing, and finally all penetrated into Earl Dracula's body. "The number of mortals in this world is everywhere like ants. When you step on an ant hole, how can you be so bored that you count how many ants died?"
However, seeing Mina's expression, the count sighed slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, Mina, simple killing is not my will. Most of the dead are maggots who dare to attack my last territory. Ordinary English mortals are not worth my efforts. But it depends on your wishes. If you don't want to go with me, then this London will turn into a dead city, and your relatives and friends...especially Mr. Jonathan Hack, I don't know what will happen. You must be clear that I will never let the same person go twice. Make a decision quickly. Although my life is eternal, my patience is limited."
"...Did you say you would let Jonathan go?" Now Professor Van Helsing and others were cleaning up ghouls in other places. Even if they discovered something here, they might not be able to come back in time. Zhu Jue here still looked weak. Apart from this, no one could stop this powerful vampire with four hundred years of life. Even if Jonathan had learned ripple qigong, she knew that it would not play any role in front of such an enemy.
"Mina, don't listen to his nonsense!" Jonathan stretched out his hand and pulled Mina's arm tightly, "All the words this demon said are lies!"
Earl Dracula snorted coldly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Jonathan. The strong and tall young man seemed to have something terrible in his consciousness. He felt a splitting headache and had to let go of Mina's hand, hold Mina's hand, and kneel down on the ground with his head covering.
"Jonathan!" Mina exclaimed and wanted to help her fiancé up, but was interrupted by Dracula's voice.
"Don't worry, he can't die." Earl Dracula slowly floated in front of Mina from above the church, then took off his gloves, revealing his pale but powerful hand. Then he bit his hand, and the bright red blood with a strange color flowed out of his hand. Finally, he reached the hand in front of Mina.
"Drinking my blood, you will gain immortal life and power from now on." Earl Dracula's eyes were filled with blood-red light, and his voice was gentle and low. "This immortality has no shackles, it is the power of absolute freedom. I will not turn you into a descendant who is controlled by me. I believe that when you have all this, you will understand in this world... only the same I can understand the same you."
After sucking the blood of the virgin, the person who was sucked will become a powerful vampire, but will be controlled by the previous generation vampire who converted him into such a generation. If you want to gain true freedom, you can only drink the blood of the vampire himself to break free from this invisible shackle. The Earl of Dracula handed over his original blood to Mina because he firmly believed that after Mina got this power, she could truly recall her memories of her previous life, and at the same time she could understand how comfort this immortal loneliness needed.
"Do you... really promise not to hurt Jonathan?" Mina looked at the blood on the hands of Count Dracula in front of her, her voice trembling constantly in pain.
"No...Mina...you can't..." Jonathan wanted to reach out to stop Mina, but the pain in his mind made him even more difficult to stay sane.
Count Dracula didn't say anything, but just nodded gently to Mina.
"Jonathan..." Mina hugged her fiancé who was still suffering from constant torture. His expression seemed extremely ferocious because of the suffering he suffered. There was deep retention and pain in his eyes when he looked at Mina, but he could only let down a constant roar and couldn't say a word.
Mina closed her eyes, and a clear tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes: "Forget me, you have to live well, I can no longer let the people around me receive more harm... This is my destiny."
Then she stood up and walked towards Count Dracula, and used her fingers to pick up a drop of Count Dracula's blood.
Finally, she faced her fiancé and shook her head at Jonathan with a slightly sad smile.
"Jonathan...I'm not a human being..."
Mina swallowed the drop of blood into her mouth.
In the next moment, the whole world seemed different in front of Mina's eyes. She saw a lot of things in the moment she let the Buddha go. There seemed to be many memories that did not belong to her. Some of these memories came from corners of her own soul that were unknown, and some contained this drop of blood.
She closed her eyes tightly and kept sorting out these broken memories. When she broke away again, her pupils were stained with a faint blood red, but there seemed to be a little confused in these eyes.
"Vlad?" Mina looked at Count Dracula beside her, because Count Dracula's blood also contained his and Elizabeth's memories, "I..."
"Elizabeth!" Earl Dracula finally showed a look of joy, "Did you remember?"
"I am Elizabeth?" Mina lowered her head in a little pain, "No...no...I...I am Mina..."
Seeing Mina's performance, Count Dracula sighed long and said, "Mina... It's okay, you will slowly remember it... We have a long time."
"Mina!" Seeing this happening, Jonathan roared, and the ripples in his body rushed rapidly, breaking the constraints of Count Dracula on him, but he was just breathing heavily in sweat, staring at Mina's face and said, "Why... do you... do this?"
"Sorry, Jonathan..." Mina turned her head and stopped looking at her fiancé. Her expression was filled with helpless sadness. Then she said to Earl Dracula, "Earl... like we just said... I have done it, agree to leave with you, you said that you will not hurt him anymore."
"As long as he doesn't come again and offend me stupidly..." Earl Dracula nodded, "Let's go."
"Cough... wait a moment." Zhu Jue, who had been silent and sat down to watch the situation in front of him, finally spoke. "I felt so uncomfortable when I watched this clumsy and bitter drama... I felt a little stomachache when I was holding it in my arms just now."
"It's you again!" Earl Dracula looked at Zhu Jue with murderous intent. He decided to ignore these people just now for Mina, but he didn't expect that this guy would come out to provoke him again.
"Don't rush to do it!" Zhu Jue saw that the expression of Earl Dracula was wrong and quickly said, "It doesn't matter if you like this woman, but I really want to ask... You are still in conflict with the 'ghost' and those people in the church. Can you protect her in this situation? Before, she was just an ordinary person, and the teachings might not care too much. Now they have become vampires. Will those crazy believers make you leave and not attack her so easily?"
Jonathan was stunned at first. He never thought that in his impression, this was just a funny Zhu Jue, among the witch hunters around Professor Van Helsing, could say such organized words. Then he also looked at Mina: "Mina... Wouldn't you put you in danger too? If something happened to you...even for me... I would definitely not accept it..."
"Hmph...those guys are just god's lackeys..." Earl Dracula's expression was arrogant and disdainful, "Dogs cannot defeat me, I will not let anything hurt her!"
"Old De, you are hundreds of years old and you still think so naively." Zhu Jue shook his head in disappointment, "Do you think that guy dressed in purple like a gay man and gave you a head without any preparation? But I like you, a guy who is willing to sacrifice for true love. Although you have a heavy taste, you must not love such an old woman... It's better to cooperate. I have a good relationship with Lao Fan, and he just wants to drive you away. You might as well rely on me as your little brother. I'll send you two back to the Eastern European countryside where birds do not shit and live your rural rich life."
"Hmph... No need for you to do anything..." Dracula was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed. He pushed Mina away and reached out to block her.
A projectile that exceeded Mach 20 speed seemed to cut through the space and shot in front of Dracula. His right hand splattered and was destroyed by the projectile, but he also held the projectile tightly. Because it exceeded the speed of sound far beyond the speed of sound, a sharp whistling sound came at this time.
"Linn... is really good at making trouble..." Zhu Jue covered his face helplessly. He realized that he had to convince Count Dracula with his reasonable and convincing eloquence, but unexpectedly, this happened.
"You!" Earl Dracula threw down the deformed projectile. Most of the projectile turned into plasma during high-speed movement and burned Dracula's right hand due to violent friction. At this time, only tiny metal debris remained. Although the wound healed quickly, after his final territory was destroyed, in order to restore the wound, a lot of blood energy collected by Earcula was consumed, which made the count couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.
"No..." Seeing Count Dracula's angry look, Mina hurriedly stopped him. She shook her head hard at Count Dracula, "Take me out of here..."
"...Mina..." Jonathan, who kept gasping for breath, looked at Mina with her back to her and tried to keep it.
Mina's body was also trembling gently, but she did not look back or say another word.
Earl Dracula snorted coldly, then lifted up his dark cloak and wrapped Mina in front of him. The two of them turned into a shadow and disappeared.
