Chapter 107: 101. Cursed harbinger
Currently, inside the living room, Dexter knelt down beside Brian's body and the others looked at him in anticipation.
"Memory sharing isn't just like drinking blood normally. You have to focus on what the blood holds. The blood of a person is connected to their very existence."
"So find that thin line between sweetness and and bitterness." Kila explained.
"Wait, why don't you just do it yourself?" Dexter asked with a frown.
"Well, I'm very weak right now and I might even kill him since he was in this body when he nearly killed me." Kila said as she looked at Brian with an angry expression.
'A thin line, so tranquility? Maybe if I just drink, it'll come.' Dexter thought as he opened his mouth.
All the people in the room kept their eyes on him as they never saw his vampire side that he refused to show them.
Dexter's canines grew visibly longer and his breathing became unstable as he held himself back from biting hard on Brian's neck.
He bit Brian's neck gently and began to suck the blood slowly and not quickly.
'I have to go slowly. Argh! My instincts are telling me to bite harder but I'll rip his neck off and kill him before I get the memories.' Dexter couldn't help but be thinking about all these.
'Just calm down. And focus on the blood entering your mouth.'
Dexter opened his eyes as he heard Kila's voice and he turned to see her eyes glowing in a bright golden colour.
'So she's really a daylighter now huh?' Dexter thought before closing his eyes and focusing on the blood.
'Tastes like... frustration.' Dexter thought and then he suddenly saw himself in a huge lab working on a machine.
The lab was filled with various machineries and potions in test tubes lined up on a table.
"Hey, Brian. We are heading over to the newly discovered area and we need an expert mechanic like you." A bald man walked into the lab wearing a lab coat.
'Brian? Am I seeing his memories? And from his point of view.' Dexter thought as his vision shifted to the man.
"I'll pack up my things, Sir." Brian said and the man nodded before walking away.
Brian sighed as he brought out a locket from his lab coat. There was a picture on it with him and a woman on it.
"Looks like I'll be back later than expected. I'm sorry." Brian said before grabbing a suitcase and walking out of the lab.
'Mercury labs? Which new area are they talking about. It wasn't on the news.' Dexter thought and his view shifted to within a forest.
Brian nervously turned around and he saw four more people in labcoats just like his while they were surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers who pointed in every direction.
'Hm? Itasin forest. It's quite far from the military base.' Dexter thought as he recognized the place quite well.
"We're here!!" One of the scientists shouted as he walked closer, towards a symbol on the ground which was within a wide circle.
"Is that a knot?" One of the scientists asked and indeed it was a symbol of a knot on the ground which was scary.
Brian walked forward and bent down to analyze it.
"A knot symbolizes a bond between two things or people." Brian said and the others scientists walked forward.
Brian then noticed broken lines connecting to the knot and he then pointed towards them.
"Look. These broken lines..." He stood uo as he began to connect the lines, using a stick to carve into the ground which was still sand.
He was walking from side to side to see if it matches and at the end, the other scientists were thrilled by what they saw.
"Brian? You're amazing. How are tou just an engineer." The scientists couldn't believe what they saw.
The full image was that of a h with a knot in it and as they were staring at it, it suddey began to glow in a bright orange colour.
"The fuck is happening?!"
They were all confused as they took steps backwards.
Just at that moment a large tornado formed twenty metres ahead of the symbol which got bigger and bigger.
The scientists couldn't believe their eyes.
'This, this isn't natural.' D3xter thought as he witnessed what happened at the site.
The tornado settled to reveal a large black castle which gad an ominous feel to it.
"A castle which suddenly appeared out of no where. I wonder what secrets lie within. I hope thus is being recorded." One of the scientists looked back to see a man with a camera who nodded.
"Let's head in." The scientist in charge walked forward and and the others followed but Brian go.
"Dark castle also known as hell's tomb. Where a troublesome warlock was sealed. It's just like in the books." Brian mumbled.
'I have to stop fhem.' Brian walked forward.
"Mr Ray!'' He ran towards the scientist in charge.
"What is it, Brian?" The man asked.
"Mr Ray, you remember the rubbish I said about magic and witches. It's related to this and just like in the book I read, this place is very dangerous. We can't go in without enough military support." Brian said quickly and the scientists laughed out loud.
"Magic? Can you hear yourself?" Mr Ray said with a mocking smile.
"Mr Ray! A building just appeared out of thin air with the burst of a tornado and you're going to classify it as natural." Brian was seriously done with these people.
"Ah, ah. It didn't appear out of nowhere. We had to solve the puzzle on the ground to bring it." Mr Ray said and continued walking.
All of a sudden, all the people around Brian fell to their knees and they clutched their heads while screaming in pain.
"Mr Ray!" Brian shouted as he looked at Mr Ray who screamed like a crazy person while clawing at his own face.
Brian was stunned when each of them heads began to explode as a loud high-pitched ringing reached their ears.
Brian was left alone in the middle of his team which were all killed.
"At least I can still do domething from here. Come child." Brian heard a voice in his head and stood up to walk towards the castle.
"From now onwards you will be my harbinger. You will bring about the death of those who put me here."
Dexter woke up in real life and pushed Brian's body away as he felt shivers from hearing the warlocks voice alone.
"Dexter are you okay?" Hannah asked.
"How are you feeling?"
"What did you see?"
Dexter closed his ears as he took a deep breath to recounted everything he just saw.
"I know where to find the warlock." Dexter said with a cold gaze.
