Ficool

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Prologue of Night

 At night, everything was silent, with only moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains into Dora and Thea's small apartment. Dora sat on the windowsill, clutching the paper bag containing their new identity documents, her eyes deep and complex.

 She turned her head slightly and looked at Yara who was sleeping soundly on the bed with a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth.

 Dora smiled helplessly, stood up and walked over, gently wiped the traces from the corners of Yara's mouth with a tissue, then pulled over a blanket and gently covered her with it.

 Back on the windowsill, Dora opened the file bag again and carefully examined the documents, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

 She and Yara had experienced countless life and death tests in the end times. Now that they had traveled through time, they finally had the opportunity to start over.

 Dora still felt a lingering fear when she recalled the days in the apocalypse. Initially, she and Yara were neighbors living in a villa complex and did not interact much.

 He was originally a high school student living alone at home. When the end of the world came, he was lucky enough to activate his spatial and spiritual abilities.

 While out collecting supplies, by chance, he saved Yara, who was nearly killed by her college roommate.

 Yara has a carefree personality, but at the moment of life and death, she activated her hidden ability, which made Yara, who likes to kill people with a machete, very depressed.

 The two supported each other and struggled to survive in the apocalypse for twenty years. During this process, they experienced countless dangerous difficulties and faced all kinds of treacherous struggles, but they never gave up on each other.

 In the tenth year of the apocalypse, Dora finally won the position of Western Lord, and spent another three years to gain a firm foothold in the Western territory. Dora's supernatural power rose to level seven, and Yara also broke through the bottleneck of level six.

 The cruelty of the end of the world is far beyond people's imagination, and accidents may happen to people at any time.

 During a battle where the zombie king besieged the city and alien plants invaded, Dora closed the space around her for various reasons, intending to do her best to entangle the zombie king and detonate her own crystal core.

 She had clearly sent her friends Yara and Nanlin away in advance, but she hadn't expected Yara to be lazy and not leave the Western City.

 This seemingly carefree fool, at the last moment, resolutely ran back, determined to live and die with Dora.

 Dora was so angry that she almost died. At the moment when the seventh-level space crystal core exploded, Dora desperately used the released energy to split the dimensional gap.

 Fortunately, God seemed to have finally favored them, and the two of them traveled to this new world together, which was the shell that had regressed to its state before the end of the world.

 The structure of the new world is not that different from the original world, but language has become a big problem for them. Who would have thought that the two of them would fall into Europe?

 Yara, a poor student, couldn't even speak English well, let alone Italian. And Dora, a top student, although she had a certain talent for languages, couldn't master this new language quickly.

 So, the two of them had to pretend to be frightened and lose their memory, and with the help of Dora's remaining mental abilities, they barely solved the identity problem.

 The goddess of fate finally showed her gentle side and opened a brand new door for them.

 Not only did they gain the precious opportunity to continue their unfinished lives, but more importantly, they did not lose the special abilities they relied on to survive the apocalyptic catastrophe.

 After several months of breathing exercises and recovery, their bodies gradually adapted to the new rules of this world.

 They were surprised to find that although the crystal core in their bodies - the core that once condensed their supernatural power - had mysteriously disappeared, that power did not disappear with the disappearance of the crystal core.

 On the contrary, it is deeply integrated into their meridians in a more subtle and restrained way.

 The two of them had indeed considered returning to their familiar homeland countless times, where they had the language and the cultural customs they were familiar with.

 In their hometown, this ancient and mysterious country, there are countless secrets and miracles hidden.

 Talented and ambitious people emerge in endlessly, and all kinds of extraordinary power and wisdom gather here.

 And they, as people with special abilities who once struggled to survive in that apocalyptic world, are burdened with countless secrets and secrets.

 If they choose to go back, these secrets are likely to be leaked, which will not only bring unforeseen dangers to themselves, but may also have immeasurable impact on the entire world.

 They will be involuntarily involved in various disputes and conspiracies and will never be able to escape.

 Now, looking at the new identity document in her hand, Dora was filled with emotion and vigilance.

 The law's recognition of the cultivation of supernatural powers makes Dora always vigilant. The peace of this world is probably only superficial, and countless secrets and risks are hidden beneath the calm sea.

 Dora put aside the infinite emotions and various fantasies about the future in her heart, sat cross-legged in front of the window, and began to practice tonight. Strength and wisdom are always the solid guarantee of a free life.

 The night breeze gently blows across the waters of Venice, bringing a touch of coolness to the people of the city. On the other side of this ancient and romantic city, a deadly game of seduction is quietly unfolding.

 In a dark and narrow alley, a young man with brown hair and an upright figure was kissing a beautiful woman with brown hair goodbye.

 The young man's face was as handsome as a statue, appearing even colder and more mysterious in the moonlight. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a charming smile that seemed to be able to capture any woman's heart in an instant.

 "Honey, I'm looking forward to our game." The young man's voice was low and magnetic, full of temptation.

 Mia looked at the man in front of her obsessively, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, a look that was a mixture of desire, expectation and obsession.

 She said reluctantly, "Dmitri, if I win the game, will you be mine?"

 As she said this, a dreamy smile appeared on the girl's face, as if she had already foreseen the moment when the game would end, and she would stand at the pinnacle of victory, with Dmitri by her side, with only her in her eyes.

 Her heart was filled with beautiful visions of the future, and her pure yearning for love reached its peak at this moment.

 Dmitri nodded slightly, a subtle cunning flashing in his eyes. "Of course, dear. The game starts tonight, and I will come to find you in seven days. You must hide well and don't let me find you."

 The girl's face was filled with excitement and nervousness. She nodded vigorously, as if she couldn't wait to start the game. She left the alley, looking back every few steps, and her figure gradually disappeared into the night.

 Dmitri still had that charming smile on his face. He stood there, watching the girl leave, but his eyes revealed an unfathomable coldness.

 Dmitri, as the most skilled tracker in the Volturi family, his reputation is well-known in the vampire world.

 No prey can escape his pursuit. This outstanding dark talent not only makes him one of the Volturi's most precious guards, but also an important means for him to gain the joy of survival in his eternal life.

 The game that was about to be played tonight was just one of countless boring little games used to kill time in his long and monotonous life.

 At the corner of the street, a dark figure slowly emerged under the hazy moonlight. It was a young man named Alec in a black suit.

 He stood at the junction of shadow and light, the moonlight outlining his tall and aloof figure, his eyes revealing a depth and mockery that was inconsistent with his appearance.

 He had been quietly watching the interaction between Dmitri and the brown-haired girl not far away, with a disdainful smile on his face.

 Alec was speechless at Dmitri's passion for tracking and escaping games.

 In his opinion, there was nothing to be happy or honored about being obsessed with such a stupid girl.

 "You are so boring. Aren't you tired of this game yet?" Alec sneered softly.

 He couldn't understand why Dmitri was obsessed with this false fantasy of love, and even less why he liked to break this fantasy with his own hands at the end of the story, as if it was a kind of pleasure or proof.

 Just as Alec was about to turn around and leave, on the other side of the street corner, Heidi, a beautiful woman in a red dress as bright as flames, slowly stepped out of the shadows, like a flower blooming from the depths of the night.

 Even under the faint moonlight, her beautiful face still exudes an irresistible charm.

 The red dress sways, and every step seems to tell endless temptations and stories. She is Heidi, a vampire in the Volturi family who is famous for her talent for dark charm.

 Heidi chuckled, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness and provocation, "Dmitri, what if you can't find that girl?"

 Her question is both a question of Dmitri's ability and a subtle irony of his emotional investment in the game.

 Dmitri received Heidi's provocation, but he did not get angry. Instead, he responded with more confidence: "This is impossible, Heidi. I have never failed in my pursuit, and this time will be no exception."

 Heidi curled her lips slightly and advised sincerely, "Dmitri, perhaps you should think carefully now. Because in this world, there will always be a girl who can surpass the dark talent that you are so proud of, and make you return in vain in your pursuit. When that happens, these seemingly vicious yet self-satisfied actions of yours will eventually backfire on you, and you will pay the price."

 Dmitri didn't take it seriously and smiled faintly. "Heidi, you're always like this, like to add a pessimistic tone to things. But for me, life is an adventure full of unknowns and challenges. I very much look forward to the day when a girl can truly escape my pursuit. That will be an unprecedented and exciting duel. But until then, I will continue to enjoy this game of pursuit and escape, because this is the fun of life."

 As the night deepened, ripples appeared on the water surface of Venice.

 At this time, Dmitri did not know that fate had already prepared a punishment for his outrageous words today.

 On the other side, Dora and Yara had no idea that this absurd and dangerous game would be inextricably linked to them.
