Chapter 1517: Everyone Has a Past
What do people lack the most? What they lack the most is time; once you have infinite time, you have infinite possibilities.
However, once people live too long, they can get everything and lose everything, and eventually they no longer cherish anything, slowly becoming numb to the people and mistakes around them. For vampires, anyone who has lived over two hundred years is like this.
Xue Lang watched another fallen comrade, expressionless, leaped onto a high wall, looking down at the ruins of Dark City, his heart filled with sighs. Who would have thought the immense, invincible Organization X could also have its moment of downfall.
"It’s over, and that’s fine!" Xue Lang, with an indifferent expression, thought that perhaps without the constraints of Organization X, he could finally be free.
Suddenly, Xue Lang noticed a male vampire dragging a female vampire in a frantic escape; it seemed they no longer wanted to serve Organization X, they wanted to break free from here.
Xue Lang saw how the male and female leaned on each other, and knew that this couple had just recently become vampires, still possessing what’s called emotions.
Gradually, a long-buried memory awakened in Xue Lang. By then, he had been a vampire for several hundred years, long devoid of any emotions, completely uninterested in any romantic relationships.
At that time, a woman named Xue Meng joined Organization X. She still harbored beautiful aspirations towards life, still had youth and vigor. Her arrival was like a stone thrown into the stagnant waters of Xue Lang’s life.
Back then, Xue Meng’s smile had a contagious power, and a gentle strength that made conversing and working with her naturally easy. Xue Meng’s arrival even stirred some ripples in Xue Lang’s emotions, though only slightly. After all, having lived so long, Xue Lang had seen all types of people.
