"Tell me how to cultivate the blood jade tree."

Ito Jun asked directly about his purpose.

"Friend, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us."

The man struggled for a while but failed to break free from Ito Jun's control. He gasped in a low voice and tried to defend himself.

"My love is..."

"Your lover is a lonely woman. She always thinks that everything will leave her. Because she was injured accidentally once, she thought that the blood was also escaping from her. You were very worried and kept protecting her, but something was still wrong. She injured herself, and the blood turned into plants that grew from the wound. This blood jade tree is the plant that grew from your lover's wound."

As soon as the man started talking, Ito Jun took over and said everything the man wanted to say in a few words.

The man was stunned.

"I've heard about your tricks from others. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm here for you today. Hand over the method of planting the blood jade tree honestly, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Ito Jun acted like a bandit. With one hand, he inserted the carving knife into the man's heart and twisted it, and with the other hand he pressed the back of his head, forcing the man's face to the ground.

The vicious words and actions made the man at a loss. He was always cautious in his actions and had never encountered such a dangerous situation.

However, after hearing what Ito Jun said, the man realized that he had been targeted and that Ito Jun came to this village just for him.

"The method of cultivating the Blood Jade Tree is very simple. Infect humans with your blood and turn the human body into a seedling bed for the Blood Jade Tree. Only by using humans as blood fields can the Blood Jade Tree be cultivated."

The man chuckled softly, emitting a strong sense of malice.

Vampires use humans as their farmland and as food, they are just that weird.

"It sounds simple. So, do vampires have any special abilities?"

Ito Jun's tone was calm, not affected by any malicious intent at all.

Using people as fields may seem like the only way for ordinary vampires, but Ito Jun has other plans.

"Until our blood is drained, we are immortal."

"That's it?"

"Isn't this enough?"

"Of course not enough!"

It would be fine if it didn't have a companion, wouldn't it, and couldn't use dark magic, but it should at least have superhuman speed and agility, the ability to be invisible, fly, and turn into a bat or a werewolf, right?

"Too useless."

Ito Jun couldn't help but complain.

How did such a useless vampire survive to this day?

Oh, by the way, the rate of human extinction in this world will be even faster.

That's fine.

"Can the Blood Jade Tree only be cultivated with human blood? Or animal blood?"

"No."

"So, do you know Tomie?"

"..."

"It seems you know."

Tomie is really everywhere. She is in the same worldview as me and is not a normal person. The man who doesn't know Tomie is abnormal.

Ito Jun immediately asked: "Can her blood be used?"

The man said in a muffled voice: "Tomie's blood has a terrifying assimilative property. Using her as a blood field, the blood jade fruit cultivated will turn people into Tomie."

Ito Jun continued to ask: "What is the extent of this transformation into Tomie? The body becomes Tomie's appearance? Does it include consciousness and soul?"

The man said: "Someone has eaten Tomie Blood Jade Fruit. If it is a woman, she will become a new Tomie and possess Tomie's magic. Anyone who comes into contact with her will fall in love with her and then kill her. If it is a man, many tumors will grow in his body. These tumors will grow into new Tomie and crawl out of the man's body."

"Tsk! Trash."

It's getting more and more useless. Jun Ito still thought that vampires had a certain ability to restrain Tomie.

Ito Jun pulled out a carving knife, grasped the green light emanating from the man's body, and after a few cuts, blood bubbles appeared on the cuts. The man struggled madly in pain, his body continuing to shrink like a deflated balloon, and he didn't look like a human at all.

As Ito Jun watched, the vampire's figure gradually shrank and faded, and the blood bubbles it sprayed out were like bubbles, as if they had never existed.

"Help me... help me..."

After confirming that the man was dead, Ito Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up, feeling exhausted all over. When he was about to go back to the bedroom to rest for a while, he heard a painful and old groan.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a skinny old man with half of his body buried in the soil among the dense blood jade trees. He looked at Ito Jun with empty eyes and his lips trembled slightly.

"Please, save me..."

"How can I save you?"

When Ito Jun asked this, the old man was silent. He looked at Ito Jun blankly and didn't say anything for a long time. Ito Jun thought he was dead and was about to leave. The old man said to himself in confusion: "What's the point of escaping? In the end, you will still become a mummy."

The old man lowered his eyes sadly, as if he didn't want to face the future.

"I don't want to become a vampire. My blood will keep flowing out of my body and become nutrients for the blood jade fruit. Even if I leave here, I will turn into a mummy and die... Please, let me be free, let the village be free."

The old man is very traditional. He is afraid of inhuman monsters and refuses to become a vampire, which will also destroy his life.

Without becoming a vampire, there is no way to escape the spell of vampires, and the blood will always escape from the body, gradually turning a living person into a mummy.

Ito Jun had nothing to say about this. Just because he wanted to become a vampire, it didn't mean that others were willing to become vampires.

Jun Ito burned down the villa.

The flames flickered, illuminating the dark night. The dark alley was illuminated, and a shadow gradually lengthened in the light of the flames.

Ito Jun walked out of the entrance and walked away into the distance.

The blazing fire grew more and more vigorous, and the dancing flames formed human faces, which were staring at Ito Jun's back, as if bidding farewell to him.

Ito Jun felt very unlucky.

In a fit of impulse, he burned down the villa and left the village.

However, he forgot that he was a person with poor direction.

He had been wandering in this deep forest for more than an hour, and he himself didn't even know where he was.

"Isn't it?"

Ito Jun took out his mobile phone with hesitation, looked at the application software on the screen, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally clicked on it.

"Please show me the way down the mountain, Lady Ayako!"

Ito Jun asked Ayako respectfully.

He doubted very much that if he were to walk on his own, he would die of exhaustion and starvation and still be unable to leave the mountains.

"Please follow my instructions and move forward fifty steps..."

Ayako smiled slightly, and Ito Jun looked bitter.

Although I don't trust Ayako, at this time, I can only trust Ayako's mechanism.

Fortunately, Ayako did not go against Ito Jun's instructions because of her dissatisfaction with him. The path she pointed out to Ito Jun was indeed the way to leave the mountains.

It's just that it's a little farther than the normal path.

Ito Jun followed Ayako's instructions and walked on the grass-covered ground. His neck began to itch and his body gradually became tired.

When I reached out and touched it, I found that the flesh bulging out from under the skin took the shape of a big tree, with branch-like things extending out, and at the end of the branches were some round balls.

Ito Jun picked one and it was indeed a blood jade fruit. The bright red fruit was filled with his blood.

Ito Jun's eyes were unpredictable. He stood there thinking for a few seconds, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"It has come to this point, do you still need to hesitate?"

Ito Jun bit through the fruit peel, and blood flowed out, staining Ito Jun's lips red and dripping down his chin into his chest.

Ito Jun could feel that some changes had taken place in his body. He touched the location of the wound and the tree that had grown there disappeared.

No, to be precise, the blood jade tree that grew with flesh and blood returned to Ito Jun's body, and even the cracks on the wound healed.

The next day, at 10 o'clock in the evening, Ito Jun finally reached the edge of the forest. He held on to the tree trunk and walked up a small slope. He could see the highway and city lights in the distance. At this moment, Ito Jun was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to return to where modern humans should stay.

Even so, it still takes at least an hour to get down the mountain, and it will take even longer to enter the city.

Every time this happened, Ito Jun would miss his grandmother's fast-running feet so much. With those feet, she could travel hundreds of kilometers in less than two hours.

Patting his stiff thighs, Ito Jun looked around and prepared to find a place to rest.

The forest at night is a very dangerous place. If there is no sufficient fire source, you can lose your life if you are not careful. This is the experience Jun Ito gained from using the simulator during the day.

The surrounding trees were relatively sparse. After passing through the woods, there was a large area of ​​grass in front. Ito Jun paused for a moment. In his sight, there was a faint fire more than a hundred meters away.

"Are you a mountain climber or camper?"

Ito Jun slowed down and moved closer to the location where the fire was lit.

When he got closer, Ito Jun was able to see clearly that the source of the fire was a small fire. A blue-haired girl who looked childish and was wearing a thick coat was sitting in front of the fire, and next to her was a tent.

The blue-haired girl heard Ito Jun's footsteps and looked up. She opened her mouth but didn't speak first. She just looked at Ito Jun with a little vigilance.

"Hello, I'm lost in the mountains, can you lend me a fire?"

Ito Jun blinked his right eye, relaxed his body, and asked the blue-haired girl.

The blue-haired girl nodded slightly and placed a log across the fire, indicating that it could be used as a chair.

"It helped a lot."

Ito Jun walked over quickly and sat down. The heat from the fire hit his face, dispelling the coolness that was wrapping around his body.

"Actually, I'm a directionally challenged person. I got lost in the mountains yesterday and only found this place today. I walked for a day and a night. The temperature in the mountains was still low. I almost died in this mountain."

Ito Jun put his hands on the fire and spoke in an exaggerated manner to reduce the blue-haired girl's anxiety about meeting a strange man in the mountains at night.

"…Would you like some ramen?"

Hearing how miserable Ito Jun was, the blue-haired girl picked up a cup of ramen and asked softly.

"Very...necessary!"

Jun Ito subconsciously wanted to express his gratitude, but his instinctive sense of crisis made him change those two words to something else.

"150 yen."

Ito Jun immediately took out the money. Seeing this, the blue-haired girl quickly said, "Just kidding, it's just a cup of ramen."

As she spoke, the blue-haired girl poured a bottle of mineral water into the kettle, turned on the stove, boiled the water, poured it into the cup noodles, and then handed it to Ito Jun.

"Come on, you can eat now."

"…Finally I can have a hot meal."

Ito Jun took the cup noodles and couldn't help but sigh.

Ito Jun opened the disposable chopsticks, picked up a chopstick of ramen, blew on it twice, and put it into his mouth. As soon as the hot ramen went down his throat, Ito Jun felt warm all over.

Ito Jun blew and ate at the same time with unrestrained movements. The blue-haired girl held a cup of coffee and looked at Ito Jun curiously.

This handsome boy who looked about the same age as him seemed to have not had any hot food for a long time.

However, if you are so directionally challenged, why come to the mountains?

After Ito Jun finished his ramen and put the cup on the ground next to him, the blue-haired girl asked Ito Jun, "Where are you from?"

Ito Jun smiled slightly: "Me? I went to school in Tokyo, Hanada no Oka High School."

The blue-haired girl became even more curious: "You go to school in Tokyo, and you have a poor sense of direction, why are you here?"

Ito Jun shrugged helplessly: "Because of some things, I have to come to visit an acquaintance who lives in the village here, but the village has been deserted... But you, are you in junior high school this year? Why are you camping here?"

The blue-haired girl's face darkened a little, and she seemed unhappy: "I am also a high school student."

Ito Jun apologized with a wry smile: "Ah... I'm sorry, you look very young."
