Chapter 173 173
Yue Yan did things really quickly, and it didn't take long to collect all the music scores she wanted.Some of these music pages were bought from museums and private collections, and some were found through hard work.When they are all put together, they are restored as a complete score.
"Why do you suddenly want these things?" Yue Yan looked at the music score spread on the long dining table.
"Western music is very attractive." She answered while concentrating on sorting out the sheet music.Because it is something imported from the West, ordinary people can't understand it, and just treat it as waste paper and press it in the corner, resulting in many sheet music being damaged, and it is a bit troublesome to deal with.
"It's fine if you like it." He said indifferently, "As long as it is something you like, I will be satisfied."
The movements of Yuna's hands paused slightly.
"Can I ask you a question? Tsukihiko...no, Kimai Tsujimu."
She called out Yue Yan's real name, but Yue Yan was not surprised.He just sat on one side of the dining table, folded his hands, and stared at her leisurely, like an ordinary gentleman staring at the white camellia in a vase.
"Why do you want to marry me?" She raised her head and circled her fingers on the score, "If it's for Yuxi's family property, then it all belongs to you now, and you don't need to marry me by acting. If It’s to eat me, and you don’t have to wait until you get married. ——What’s your reason for doing this? No misery.”
"To be honest, I still prefer to hear you call me 'Yueyan'." He spread his hands, and his tone was a little helpless, "When this name comes out of your mouth, it will sound better."
"..."
"As for the reason——" he said calmly, "there is no particular reason. I just want to do this. You can think that I am tired of life after living for more than a thousand years, and occasionally need a little fresh story to bore me to spice up your life. That’s all.”
He has been living in this world since the Heian period.
Originally, he was just an ordinary human being, and he was terminally ill when he was less than 20 years old.As the only son in the family, the family tried every means to seek medical treatment and medicine for him, and even entrusted it to the gods.
In order to prolong his short life, a doctor developed medicine for him.A miracle happened, his body recovered and became stronger, possessing strong self-healing ability and the power of immortality.
This should have been a gratifying thing, but the price he paid was clear—he could no longer see the sun, and could only crawl under the eaves to avoid the sunny weather.The wisteria flower, which is loved by Kyoto people and symbolizes elegance, has also become extremely disgusting.
He will not grow old and will not die, but his family members have died of old age one after another, the faces he once knew disappeared one by one, even the capital was relocated twice, and the reigning emperor changed several times.These memories are too far away, Wu Mi doesn't even remember what the original people looked like.
For countless nights, he coexisted with the night and the moon, but he never saw the color of the sun again.He wanted to overcome the only shortcoming of sunlight, but he couldn't get the most critical blue Bana.Therefore, it still can only live in the dark night.
He occasionally changes his appearance to blend in with human life, becoming a husband, father, or adopted son.He will experience the life of those ordinary people, just like
Just like him who hadn't started to fear the sun thousands of years ago.This kind of "playing" game gave him a vague illusion that he had overcome the sunlight and evolved more completely.
However, this is only an occasional adjustment.When his patience is lost, he will kill all the so-called "family members".
This time, too.The only difference is that this "bride" is more beautiful and pleasing to the eye, which makes him treat it with extra patience and experience the joy of playing an ordinary human being.
As for when she will be eaten, it's hard to say.
Yue Yan's answer obviously did not satisfy Yuna.She picked up a stack of music scores and said, "As you wish, Yue Yan. Then I will call you by your name."
After being quiet for a while, she asked, "When are you going to eat me?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan laughed softly: "Don't ask such meaningless topics—at least, I don't have that plan yet. If you can be my wife well, maybe I will never eat you, or simply eat you." Transform you into an existence like me."
"Stop joking." She raised her eyebrows, and unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Yue Yan's neckline, pulling him in front of her.
A person who is usually gentle and docile suddenly made such a movement, which inevitably surprised Yue Yan: "The strength seems to have increased..."
Yuna tugged at his collar and said, "I don't want to become a ghost like you. I don't think there is any good in living like a day for thousands of years."
"Why not?" he asked. "Don't you want to keep your looks forever? Every woman wants to be young forever."
She slowly lowered her eyes, and murmured: "Even if you will always be beautiful and young, but if your family and friends die before you, what's the point? What I value is different from you, Yue Yan."
Eternal youth and beauty are not attractive to her.
Compared with eternal youth, she prefers to grow old by the side of her parents and family.With friends of the same age, I laughed at each other's frost-white hair with crow's feet and sideburns, and my mother said critically that she "is also a mother, how can it still be like this".This is the happiness she wants.
"Forget it, Yue Yan can't understand anyway." She loosened Yue Yan's collar, restored her usual soft smile, stretched out her hand to carefully smooth the folds of his neckline, and said in an apologetic tone, "Ah, I'm sorry, I messed up Tsukihiko's clothes on the spur of the moment..."
Yue Yan stared at her blankly for a while, then smiled gently: "It's okay."
After speaking, he bowed his head and kissed her forehead.This gentle, lover-like kiss made the woman chuckle: "It's very itchy, Yue Yan."
Her smile is Yue Yan's favorite.Gentle and warm, like ripe cherries on the branches, and like the sun in the morning.If she could swallow her head, it would be as graceful as swallowing the sun.
He took her hand, led her to the bedroom, unbuttoned his shirt with one hand, and whispered, "Can I go to bed early tonight?"
She blinked, glimpsed the outline of his muscles exposed between his shirts, and smiled sweetly: "Of course."
/ / /
Even a devil is no different from other men in her palm.
What's more, this devil seems to be more loyal and affectionate than other men.
He took her hand and kissed repeatedly, then murmured about his love.
"I love you."
I love you.
"Be my wife."
be my wife.
"Give me your life."
Give me your life.
"All my life—"
"Leave it to me. All of it."
The cherries were covered with drops of water, and the iron-gray mist and dark blue night shrouded it.He opened his mouth, and lightly bit her shoulder, and then trembled in his soul to stop himself from devouring the thought.
/ / /
The sheet music is assembled, and the work is done.Yuna immediately contacted the Demon King, requesting to end the business trip and return home quickly.The devil said okok, and I will give you the whole method of death immediately.
Yuna: Death is too slow, gkd, find a quick way to die, otherwise I will be eaten alive.
Demon King: okok, I will definitely give you a very fast death method.
Yuna: OK, if it's okay, I'll hang up first.
/// In the following time, Yuna waited and waited, she lived well; at the same time, the wedding was almost ready.Just when she was worrying about the question "Why am I not dead yet", the wedding day has already arrived.
According to the trend of Chinese people at that time, weddings were basically held in churches, completely in the Western style.It's just that ordinary people would choose to hold their wedding during the day, but Yue Yan would definitely choose night.
"Miss, it's raining outside."
In the preparation room of the church, the maid Akiko opened the window and looked out the window.In the garden planted with white roses, there was a patter of rain at night; in the distance, there were distant lights from cars, illuminating the granite door of the church.
"Oh...it's raining." Yuna lacked interest, sitting on the bench and playing with the bouquet in her hand.A veil of lace and pearls hung down from the back of her head, and piled upon her shoulders like a white wave.In the bouquet are newly bloomed tuberoses, which are delicate and delicate.
Although she is the protagonist of the marriage, she is not interested at all.
The man to marry is indeed her favorite, but she is also his opponent's favorite (literally), which makes her have a strong sense of crisis.After all, she doesn't like the way of "being eaten" to die.
"Your Excellency the Marquis has arrived. I saw him just now when I went to pick up the guest list." Mingzi looked very excited, as if she was happy that her lady finally married her sweetheart, "Your Excellency the Marquis must be looking forward to this day. Well... I can see you swearing to marry the man you love."
"How does Uncle's body look?" Yuna asked.
"Your Excellency the Marquis seems to be recovering very well, and his voice is also very healthy. Although he is still on crutches, he looks much better than when he first fell ill." Mingzi said, "Your Excellency the Marquis should be able to recover from the illness soon." Izawa is back from recuperation."
"Okay." Yuna nodded, and looked at Ye Yu outside the window again.The rustling rain is coming from the jagged rose leaves.
When it was finally time for her to appear on stage, the priest of the church led her out of the preparation room and stood in front of the auditorium.Her uncle was also waiting there. This old nobleman with countless titles was wearing a black tuxedo, with a gratified and kind face.
"Oh, you end up
Yu is going to marry Yue Yan. "Uncle was leaning on crutches, with a trembling smile on his sickly face. He stretched out his arms to hold Yuna, and stepped on the red carpet with her.
This long carpet runs through the center of the auditorium. Rows and rows of wooden benches on both sides of the carpet are full of guests who came to the wedding. Most of them are Chinese living in Tokyo. They are all friends and colleagues from Yuxiduo's side.
It is said that Yue Yan did not invite any relatives and friends to the wedding.
This is of course, how could a ghost have such a thing as a "friend"?
At the end of the red carpet, Yue Yan was standing in front of the priest who officiated the marriage. The rose windows on three sides behind him exuded a magnificent color against the gradual moonlight.Under the reflection of the stained glass, everyone's faces showed gorgeous colors, like a dream.
And Tsukihiko was standing there, wearing a black long-tailed suit with a sword-shaped brooch on his chest.Compared with the past, his handsome and coquettish face showed an even more bewildering expression; those eyes, like a magenta wine glass poured down, shattered into streaks of glow.
Only Yuna knows that this man with outstanding appearance is not human, but the bloody juice flowing from the mouth of the demon.
Your Excellency the Marquis is holding Yuna.He would lead her across the aisle until he put her hand in Yue Yan's, symbolizing the handing over of his daughter to her husband.It's a ritual from the West, but it's surprisingly popular in Tokyo.
Yuna stared down at the red carpet under her feet, and walked slowly forward, her white skirt dragging across the long carpet.Two flower girls followed, throwing petals, burgundy roses and yellow tulips, falling down lavishly.The girl in the western dress on the right is a little unhappy, crying, probably wanting to go back to her parents.
"What a beautiful bride..."
"Miss Ukita was originally a famous beauty in Tokyo."
"Mr. Yueyan is really lucky. He was a businessman who had never heard of it before."
The guests whispered and focused their eyes on the bride's face.She is like a fresh white lily of the valley, blooming for the first time, flawless.No one will be more beautiful than her today, even if she has always lowered her eyes and never looked at others.
Finally, when the carpet came to an end, Yuna and her uncle Marquis stopped.
Yue Yan tilted his head and showed her a very faint smile: "You are very beautiful today. Yuna." For some reason, the smile on his lips seemed a little sinister, as if the evil desire had finally been released, Pandora's demon The box was finally opened.
Yuna raised her head, lifted the white lace gauze covering her eyes with her hands, and replied, "You too."
Uncle hugged her tremblingly, with tears in his eyes.Immediately, the uncle said to Yueyan who was standing beside the priest: "Yueyan, Yuna will be handed over to you. You will protect her with your whole life."
"Of course." Yue Yan answered as a matter of course.
He saluted His Majesty the Marquis quite gracefully, then took Yuna's hand and led her up the last few steps.The priest holding the Bible was waiting for the newlyweds holding hands.There they would swear their love and fidelity, pledge their lives to each other, and put on their rings.
At this moment, there was a heavy "creak" sound from the door of the auditorium.The abrupt voice made the guests who were staring at the newcomer couldn't help turning their heads.
There was a commotion outside the door.
"Grab that kid! Grab him!"
"He has a gun!"
The chaotic shouts of several church priests echoed in the marble corridor.
Behind the wide open door of the auditorium stood a panting middle-aged man, his hair was soaked in sweat, his eyes were crazy and full of death.Judging from his attire, he is just an ordinary businessman; it's just that his scarf is messy and his face is covered with sweat, which is really not decent, and he doesn't look like he came to a wedding.
"Who is this guy?" All the guests looked at each other, puzzled.
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, the uninvited guest opened his mouth and roared hoarsely: "Long live Prince Yuren!" Immediately, he took out a gun from his sleeve.The black gun/muzzle is facing forward, like a pitch-black eye.Before the guests could react, several dull "bang bang" sounds echoed in the church.
There was an uproar, the stained glass was hit by a bullet, and suddenly shattered into a rain of glass, shining like stars in the night sky.The rain outside the window fell into the auditorium without hindrance.This sudden change caused a moment of deathly silence in the auditorium.Immediately, there were screams and panic, and everyone realized that His Excellency the Marquis had collapsed on the red carpet, his face was terrified, and there was a huge blood hole on his forehead, and bright red blood was flowing out.
"The Marquis—His Excellency the Marquis!"
"It's an assassination! It's an assassination! It's someone from the cabinet!"
"Where's Miss Yuna?"
In the chaos, someone thought of Yuna as a bride, and looked intently at the priest's side—unfortunately, this beautiful bride also seemed to be shot, and she was leaning crookedly on her new husband's arms. In the middle of the night, red blood slowly dripped from the white wedding dress.
The assailant raised his gun and fired several shots at the ceiling of the church, laughing wildly: "Prince Hirohito's regency is a matter of course! You old bastards who control Tokyo! Go to hell! Go to hell! What the hell! Elders, what kind of Chinese! All of them are going to die! Hahahahahahaha!"
Crazy and hoarse laughter echoed in the auditorium.The ladies and gentlemen who had been sitting on the benches to attend the wedding fled in an instant, all of them stumbled and lost their elegant demeanor; even the priest, who was favored by God, looked embarrassed Keep the Bible over your chest to protect yourself.
The wedding was a mess, but Tsukihiko's expression remained calm.As if he had never witnessed this frenzied scene, he clicked his tongue softly, helped the bride in his arms, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a minor injury. It will be fine soon."
However, the person in his arms was silent.
Yue Yan frowned, and supported Yuna by her back, but found that her chest was bright red.The blood dyed the wedding dress all over, and it has lost its original pure and flawless color.
"...Huh?" Yue Yan's pupils narrowed slightly, "Are you... dead?"
The woman in his arms was silent, her eyes were closed tightly, without any heartbeat or pulse.At the bullet hole in the chest, the blood seemed to have begun to coagulate, leaving only wet blood stains.
That beautiful, Bai Linglan-like face seemed to be sleeping peacefully at night, with a faint smile on it.This smile, as if it appeared because of the feeling of happiness when I stepped into the church with my lover, was quickly condensed on the face by death.
Month
Yan's face froze instantly.
……died?
Are humans such fragile things?Just this level of attack, will he die?
He couldn't understand.
There was a bit of disbelief on Yue Yan's face.He bent down and slowly put his bride on the red carpet.The candles on the side were burning brightly, and the stained glass windows were scattered all over the place, as if the stars were falling down.And this bride, whose chest was stained with blood, slept peacefully in the center of the auditorium.
The guests who couldn't escape were still screaming, and the assassin who shot the gun was also laughing wildly. The voices mixed together and echoed loudly in the auditorium.
"Long live Prince Hirohito! You all go to hell!"
"Let me go, please! I'm just a businessman..."
Hearing the screams and roars beside his ears, Yue Yan felt a sense of displeasure welling up in his heart.
He stared at the woman's gradually icy body, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and ruthlessly tore off her right arm. With a sound of "噗嗤", blood splashed, staining his dress a scarlet color.
Her hands are beautifully shaped, with long, slender fingers.It must look good with a ring on.
Yue Yan stared at her hand, licked the corner of his lips, showing his sharp fangs, slowly, slowly lowered his head, offered a soft kiss on her palm, and then opened his mouth to bite down.
tear-
tear.
The creaking and gurgling sound of flesh and blood being separated was particularly strange and terrifying.The guests who hadn't had time to escape saw that he actually took off the bride's arm and gnawed on it, and screamed more and more horrified.
"Tsukihiko, Mr. Tsukihiko! What are you doing?"
"Mr. Tsukihiko is eating people!"
"Tsukihiko is crazy! That's his wife—"
The screaming stopped abruptly before it was over.A tentacle-like object streaked a shadow across the wall, and quickly pierced the screamer's heart.Immediately, there was a splash of blood, and suddenly there was a strange blood flower on the wall.
"Noisy." Yue Yan half-closed his eyelids, his expression calm and at ease.He licked the blood at the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and asked condescendingly, "Isn't it the most common thing for humans to eat livestock? Why do you make such a fuss?"
However, no one will reply to his question anymore.
All the people were dead, and they collapsed in the wedding hall with terrified expressions, and the hall was filled with blood.
Now, no one will disturb his eating again.

The news that the Marquis of Musk was assassinated quickly spread like thunder in Tokyo.
It is said that the day of the assassination was the wedding ceremony of Ms. Ukido.The guests present and Yu Xiduo's family all died on the spot, not even the whole body was left behind.
The most tragic one was the well-known Miss Yukiduo. According to the police who investigated after the incident, "the body is dilapidated", "the internal organs are gone", and "hands and heads are missing".
The attacker was a young man who advocated Prince Hirohito's regency. This young man was extremely dissatisfied with the existence of the elders and the Chinese. He supported Prince Hirohito's marriage with the Kui Gong family, while the opinion of the Mukkamakura faction was exactly the opposite of the young man's. .
With dissatisfaction and resentment towards life, he broke into the wedding, used guns and knives as weapons, crazily killed people, and committed suicide before the police arrived.
The Ukita mansion, which has been prosperous for many years, has been sealed.
However, perhaps it was the young man's fanatical, martyr-like assassination that greatly drove back the power of the elder.The veterans who cherished their lives showed signs of retreating one after another; after Emperor Taisho became seriously ill, he was forced to abdicate power to Crown Prince Hirohito as regent. In 1926, Prince Hirohito ascended the throne, and the reign title was "Showa".
