Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Bindings of the Past

Under the light of the crystal ball, images from the past came like a tidal wave.The night in Chongqing was brightly lit and bustling. Feng and I, two vampires who traveled through the dark parts of the city, stepped into the bustling place called 823. Here, the lights flicker and the music is deafening, young people are on the dance floor releasing their youthful vigor, while we are silently searching for our prey in the dark corners.Peak, the partner who stepped into the vampire world earlier than I did, though seemingly young, was actually experienced. He has a slender figure, 181cm tall, with a cold and elegant demeanor. His eyes are as sharp as eagles, always able to pinpoint his target in the crowd. Over the long years, he taught me a lot of survival skills and the rules of the game, but deep down I had complex emotions about it all, always feeling that I had lost something important.As soon as we were seated, Peak was like a keen hunter, instantly spotting the target: "Look behind you at the table against the wall, there are two girls." His voice was low and magnetic, with a faint hint of excitement.I turned my head to look, and I saw those two girls. One of them was tall, with a clean face, but slightly thin; the other was a little shorter, with a plump figure, exuding a different kind of charm. I teased: "Which one do you see? The tall thin one, or the plump one?"The corner of Peak's mouth rose slightly, revealing a wry smile, "The taller one who is thinner! I know you like the plump one." After saying that, he picked up the color cup and skillfully shook it, the dice colliding inside the cup with a crisp sound.I am not willing to show weakness, also picked up the color cup, and he began a silent competition. The dice tumbled and jumped inside the cup, as if the dice of our destiny were also quietly turning in this small game."Bang!" We snapped the color cup at the same time. Peak's slender eyes stared at me, revealing confidence and provocation in his eyes.I was the first to speak, "Four sixes!"Peak frowned slightly, seemingly thinking about something, and after a moment said, "Five sixes."I crossed my heart and shouted, "Six sixes!"Peak looked at me, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then laughed, "Are you sure?""Nonsense! Six sixes! Hurry up!" I didn't flinch and my tone was firm.Peak slowly picked up the color cup, and the moment the color was revealed, my heart sank. The topmost one was actually a one, and the colors overlapped like a pagoda."You're playing dirty again! Holy shit! You're ruthless!" I shouted in chagrin.Peak smiled triumphantly, "I'm not convinced that you're playing dirty too! But it'll have to be next time! Go on!"I helplessly picked up my drink and walked towards the two girls' table. However, as I approached, I realized that there were already three men surrounding them. One of them, a guy wearing a gold necklace, with a red face and mesmerized eyes, obviously drunk, was reaching out his hand to make a move on the plump girl. The girl's face was full of panic, constantly dodging, with tears in her eyes; another girl tried to help, but was held tightly by the other two men's hands, unable to move.Anger welled up in my heart, and I was about to take action when Peak signaled me from behind to leave. But just then, the gold necklace man's behavior became more and more excessive, and the girl's cries pierced my heart. Without hesitation, I raised the bottle in my hand and smashed it hard towards the back of his head.The bottle and his head collided with a dull sound, the man's body was soft, paralyzed on the ground.Seeing this, Peak furiously shouted, "Son of a bitch, it's all because of you! I won't be able to go to 823 from now on!"I shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly, "Shit! It wasn't my idea!"We took the girl and quickly fled the scene, in the process of running, I gradually learned that the plump girl named Little Beauty. When we ran to a seemingly safe place, but found how to stop the cab.The little beauty looked at me pitifully: "It's so late, and this place is so remote ... You accompany me to wait for a car OK?" Her eyes were full of helplessness and expectation, making me unable to refuse.I sighed and nodded, "Okay."However, time passed by, and there was still no sign of the cab. The little beauty suggested again, "Why don't we take a walk?"I hesitated, but finally agreed: "Oh, well."Along the way, we walked in silence, the atmosphere is slightly awkward. Finally, we came to the door of her dormitory.I said with a sense of relief: "You go in."The little beauty but face difficult color: "can not go back ... After twelve o'clock, the dormitory door is locked."I heart a burst of annoyance: "I shit! You did not say earlier! Then what to do?"The little beauty lowered her head and whispered, "How do I know?"I gritted my teeth and helplessly said, "FUCK! Home is certainly not to bring back ... Well! I will take you to the hotel to open a room!"The little beauty didn't say anything, just secretly glanced at me, and her eyes seemed to flash a trace of a different emotion.Later, I realized that this night's decision would completely change my fate ...
