Amid Hao Ren's bewilderment, Vivian took him to the open space at the back of the house . The ashes from the summoning ritual the day before had been cleaned up . There were only a few traces of char on the spot, and next to the spot was a tarpaulin shed, under which his old motorcycle was parked: it was the result of three days' worth of elbow grease from Y'zaks and his daughter . Hao Ren stared at it for a long while before he finally recognized the parts in the motorcycle…
He looked at the burning demonic engine, wondering if he could take the two-wheeler onto the street; the traffic police would definitely raise their eyebrows…
"What do you want me to see?" Hao Ren took his eyes off his old junk and looked at Vivian curiously .
Vivian did not say a word but raised her hand, pointing at a rock on the side; silently, the rock immediately weathered into sand before Hao Ren's eyes . Even the grass next to it withered and died in an instant .
Vivian knitted her brows . "Looks like it's not easy to control . I intended to only demonstrate it with the rock . "
Hao Ren was wide-eyed . He turned and looked at his side; he could still see the aftermath of the chaos left behind last night: large patches of vegetation had withered and sandstone had weathered—the same thing Vivian just demonstrated . It was of that evil spirit's power!
"What happened to you?!" Hao Ren looked at Vivian, shocked . "Isn't this the ability of that ghost last night?"
"I don't know what's going on," said Vivian . "I seem to have suddenly acquired this ability . It was probably after returning from Mars yesterday that my head felt heavy, but I thought I was just tired . . . Now, it looks like that was the moment the change occurred . "
Hao Ren did not know what to say, but things were already very clear: Vivian had acquired the ability of the evil spirit after she killed it last night!
Both of them felt something was amiss . They had to figure it out . Vivian demonstrated her newfound ability repeatedly; she could destroy things with her fingers without having to touch them just like the evil spirit did the previous night . She could also release a visible red light to increase the power of her attack . Obviously, the first type of attack was more dangerous . Hao Ren frowned as he looked at Vivian . "How do you feel with this ability?"
"Nothing . It's just like instinct," said Vivian . "I was just shocked when I first used it—I just wanted to tell you that I broke Rollie's bowl . . . "
Clutching his forehead, Hao Ren said, "I'll deal with the dumb cat . It seems that you don't know how you got this ability . . . Could it be that you absorbed the enemy's power after killing it? Or, did something stick on you?"
Vivian was a little nervous hearing that . "The last time I checked, my physique was fine . But I think it would be better to get a full body check in the medical pod . "
"Well, you can't be too careful . " Hao Ren nodded . Nonetheless, he still could not help but recall the fight the night before . Images from his memory flashed across his mind . The memory of the Crimson Moon and its ubiquitous "crimson moonlight" caught his attention . "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure . "
"About the 'Crimson Moon'," Hao Ren stared into Vivian's eyes . "The biggest threat we faced when we were fighting the evil spirit yesterday came from the Crimson Moon . I know Countess of the Crimson Moon is the appellation you go by, so I'd like to know more about your ability . But of course, you don't have to tell me if it's a secret . "
"It's nothing I can't tell," Vivian replied, waving her hand casually . "It's not even a secret . I've never kept it as a secret . Only because people who saw the Crimson Moon all died that it became a mystery…"
On hearing that, a chill ran up Hao Ren's spine . "As if you're not mysterious enough?!"
Vivian smiled . "The Crimson Moon is my natural ability . I don't know why other Blood Clan members can't do this; maybe they're not pure enough? Whatever it is, I can make use of the power of the moonlight, and I'm also able to use it to create moonlight on a moonless night . I feel that the evil spirit's moonlight powers are a lot similar to mine like you said . I can also make use of the moonlight to perform shadow shifts, become stealthy, or transfer my power to the moon and shine on the entire battlefield . Other than that, my moonlight is not corrosive, and it doesn't possess life-withering effects . Yeah, it's more like a medium by which I can do something or enhance my own abilities . However, the Crimson Moon itself contains no special power . "
Vivian was proud when she spoke of her famed skill . She had no hesitation expressing this sense of pride and prestige as the oldest vampire . Hao Ren believed that the real Crimson Moon had to be much more powerful than Vivian's description—Vivian did not usually like to boast about herself . Her description of the Crimson Moon had probably been more conservative . In any case, according to her description, only parts of her Crimson Moon characteristics were consistent with the evil spirit from last night .
"Do you still think that the evil spirit is a part of me?" Vivian noticed Hao Ren had fallen into deep thought, so she could not help but ask .
"Somewhat . " Hao Ren nodded . "There are many similarities in both moonlight abilities, but some parts of her ability are what you're lacking, and after you killed her, you've somehow 'absorbed' these new skills . . . Could it be that last night's evil spirit was actually a part of your lost ability? Someone stole and sealed your ability when you were asleep or at your weakest moment, hence she was similar to you . But her ability was different, and it was you who completely crushed as well as absorbed her . . . Well, this theory sounds convincing, doesn't it?"
Vivian pursed her lips . "You don't feel embarrassed at all for all that boasting . However, what you said does make sense . These phenomena look exactly like your speculation . I'm feeling helpless: I'm the most ignorant one even after so much has happened . I don't even know the whys and whats of that magic book… and ironically, its author has apparently seen me in person before . "
Vivian looked lonely whenever she talked about her lost memories . The feeling of being unable to control herself made the ancient vampire very frustrated . She looked down at her hands . "How much have I lost?"
Noticing the frustration on Vivian's face, Hao Ren quickly steered away from the conversation . "Ahem, let's not delve into the past . Regarding your moon abilities, did you say that you could summon moonlight on a moonless night? Is it really out of thin air?"
"Yeah . " Vivian nodded . "That's really what 'summoning the Crimson Moon' is about . If I could only perform the summoning during certain a time and place, I would have died many times . However, summoning the Crimson Moon is very exhausting and it's not easy to control . I rarely use this trick . "
Hao Ren believed so . After all, he had only seen Vivian do it once when they first met Y'zaks . After that, Vivian had never summoned her moon, presumably due to the fact it was too exhausting . However, he also dared to say that, when Vivian was in her full power cycle, she had definitely made the Crimson Moon shine more than once .
Unfortunately, the vampire countess had forgotten all of it .
"If you were cast on Mars, could you summon the Crimson Moon?" asked Hao Ren, wanting to confirm his suspicion .
Vivian nodded affirmatively . "Of course, I could . My Crimson Moon isn't actually a real moon . It's magic . Although I've never gone up there to check it out myself, I guess it should be something like a projection . "
"Last night, the 'red-haired you' could only use the moon on Earth to create her moonlight," said Hao Ren . "She could do nothing after she was cast on Mars . This shows that at least in terms of her Crimson Moon ability, she was still not perfect . "
Red-haired Vivian's Crimson Moon had some powerful special abilities, but it had to "borrow real moonlight to be effective" . This ability was obviously like a defective product . Finding out this clue, Hao Ren could only be more convinced that the evil spirit he met last night was actually part of Vivian's ability .
Vivian massaged her forehead; things were making her anxious . "Do you think I have more abilities sealed in other places?"
With a heavy heart, Hao Ren exhaled . "I'm not ruling out that possibility . "
