Ans came out of the dean's office in disgrace, holding a bag containing all his belongings and walking in the quiet corridor of the hospital.

On one side of the corridor were portraits of generations of deans, and on the other side was an ancient Greek temple-style column fence, covered with ivy and some tiny snow-white flowers. Ans rubbed his brows and leaned against the wall in frustration.

.

"Ans!" A girl appeared at the end of the corridor with a furious expression, "Ans, why did you come back by yourself? God, do you know how worried I am? This morning when I returned to the countryside, my grandmother told me that you

Do you know how worried I am about coming to Voterra by myself? Your Italian is not good. If you get lost, are you prepared to starve to death on the roadside?"

"Connie." Ans straightened up immediately, intending to comfort the girl, "I'm not - it's just that I can't do this. Your grandmother is very old. She should enjoy life instead of taking care of me. You know, I am 17 years old

Instead of being 7 years old, I can support myself."

"Can you support yourself?" Connie poked his face with her finger, "Really? You should receive systematic study now. For example, the failure you just experienced means that you can't even be a nurse."

Ans's face was a little bloodshot, but he couldn't refute her because she was right.

Seeing the boy in front of her lowering his head in frustration, the anger in Connie's heart subsided a lot: "Listen, don't be so sad. This kind of thing has to be tried again and again. Hey, do you know what day it is today?"

"What day?"

"It's St. Marcus' Day, my dear, you don't know this, do you?" The girl blinked her lake-green eyes.

"Holy what-"

"St. Marcus' Day!" Connie looked at him in surprise, "Tell me, Ans, where did you come from?"

Even so, Connie couldn't wait to put on bright red costumes for the two of them, and happily joined the parade. Red, eye-catching red everywhere, Ans had to follow Connie closely to avoid

Dispersed by the crowd.

"Oh my god, it's so lively!" Connie cheered loudly, greeting everyone she knew everywhere.

"Wait for me, Connie!" Ans squeezed through the wall of people and tried hard to find Connie. When he turned around, he found that there was red everywhere. He couldn't recognize who Connie was at all. It was all red, red, red.

.The young women's ribbons were fluttering, the flags were fluttering, and the strong sunlight was like a huge net, covering people's heads, creating a fiery atmosphere.

"Ans——!"

As if he heard someone calling him from somewhere, Ans reluctantly turned his head, but found nothing. The fear of being abandoned filled his heart, and sweat flowed into his eyes, which made them wet and painful.

There were many people in the crowd who showed surprised expressions when they saw Ansi's black hair, black eyes and oriental appearance.

If he couldn't find Connie, he had to at least go back to the hospital. He was really fed up with this kind of crowding. Ans tried to squeeze out, but after a few minutes he realized that it was in vain. The red crowd was like a huge sardine can.

There was no way he could squeeze the sardine out of the can, so he could only move with the crowd.

"Hey, be careful kid." Someone pushed him hard.

"I'm sorry." Ans apologized to the man and continued to squeeze in confusion. His fingers rubbed against the rough wall. Only then did he realize that he was squeezed out of the crowd and came to a huge castle. Although it was called a castle,

But it revealed a sense of gloominess for no reason.

The gate of the castle has not yet been closed, and a large group of excited tourists are obviously preparing to go in for sightseeing. The last one following them is obviously Connie who is constantly talking to another girl.

Ans looked at her and called several times, but Connie never looked back.

The big clock overhead points to noon.

A woman came out of the castle and stood in front of the door. She had long reddish-brown hair, a lace shawl around her shoulders, and a red dress that matched her hair. From Ans's perspective,

, her face cannot be seen, but a look of surprise can be seen on the face of the passenger facing her.

The woman said something to the group of people, turned around, and glanced at Ansi with her icy black eyes, then turned back and led the group of people into the castle.

Black eyes? Ans was confused, and an idea suddenly broke into his brain. No, it was not black, but bright red after the blood settled, but it looked like black in the sunlight.

The angel-like girl that night also had bright red eyes!

"Connie!" Ans yelled, and the girl with lake green eyes turned her head and looked at him in confusion. When she saw it was him, she smiled and made a waving gesture.

"Don't go in, Connie, don't go in!" Ans shouted while chasing, "Connie!"

Arriving at the gate, Ans hesitated for a moment. The girl's smile that flashed in his mind overwhelmed the shadow and chased in.

The cold air in the corridor eroded Ans' skin. After catching up with the end of the team, Ans grabbed the girl's hand and gasped for air. Cold sweat slowly flowed from his forehead: "Connie, come with me, don't go."

"What are you talking about, Ans." Connie's eyes looked very strange, "Let's go, we won't be able to keep up."

"Connie, I'll explain it to you when you get out." Ans stubbornly refused to give in. His black eyes had a breathtaking effect in the dark castle, "Follow me."

"What are you making!" The girl was hurt and screamed loudly, "Do you know how rare the opportunity to visit the Puoli Palace is?! Let go!"

Ans noticed that the girl's eyes were starting to become confused, and he gritted his teeth, "I will drag you out today even if I drag you out!"

The crowd was stagnant because of their entanglement, making the silent corridor seem noisy.

"What's wrong?" The woman who was the leader walked up to Ans on high heels. Only then did Ans see her clearly. Her beauty only became more tempting when she was up close, and her face was like the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology.

As perfect as Aphrodite, her dark red eyes filled with blood are even more charming, entangling everyone who intends to resist her.

"I'm sorry, miss, we won't be visiting today." Ans protected the girl behind him, but his intuition (small animal's) subconsciously told him that this woman was quite dangerous.

The woman smiled and said, "Really? What did this young lady say?"

"Don't listen to him! I do! I do!" Connie looked at the woman's deep red eyes with fascination.

Ans turned pale and held Connie's hand tightly. He knew that it was useless to persuade Connie. Connie was confused by something bad. He could feel it around this dark castle.

There was a bad smell coming straight towards this group of people, and behind him——

Ans looked behind him. Although there was nothing in the empty corridor, he clearly saw a black shadow flash past just now. He was a man and must protect Connie. Ans took a deep look.

The eyes of the woman in front of her looked at the infatuated Connie again, and she nodded.

This little brat. Heidi glanced at him contemptuously, thinking that she was so determined, but in the end, she couldn't resist.

After passing several silent hallways, the eyes gradually opened up, and a spacious and gorgeous hall appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was chatting excitedly. The girl next to Connie still kept smiling, but in the blink of an eye, she was knocked down by a black shadow, and blood flowed from her neck.

It spurted out and splashed Ans's face. Connie's eyes became clear and she screamed when she saw the terrifying scene in front of her.

"Run! Run!" Ans pulled her and rushed outside as hard as she could.

Connie staggered and fell down at Ans' feet.

The girl's face was covered in blood. Connie covered her throat. There was still fear on her face. She was covered by a black shadow coming from behind. She was submerged in the thick shadow and never stood up again.

Ans stared blankly as the girl's blood-stained hand slipped from his. He had no time to panic or struggle, and such a fresh life was taken away.

He remembered, he finally remembered where this was!

This is the Twilight Zone and these people are vampires!

A black figure rushed toward him. Ans raised his head, his eyes pierced all the darkness and collided with the vampire's eyes.

——Don’t hurt me! Get away!

The vampire froze in mid-air and fell heavily on him. He looked at Ans' snow-white neck and looked dizzy, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

"Let him go!" The vampire on his body was lifted off, and Carlisle's face appeared above Ans, with an anxious look on his face, "Ans, why are you here?"
