Late at night, on the top of the Fallen Camp's main tower.
The blood moon has disappeared, and the stars are silent. But the murderous intent in the wind has not yet dissipated.
Su Yue stood in front of an ancient black stone door.
The door stood quietly on the top of the tower, and the oldest contract inscription in the night world was engraved on the door: "Only with the blood of sacrifice can you swear on the moon."
This is the Night Oath Gate.
It is said that only individuals with "heretic blood" can open this door and conclude a "night oath contract" with another person.
And she was brought here by Ethan.
"You want me... to swear with you?" Su Yue stared at him, her eyes as cold as night water.
"It's not a wish, it's a must." Ethan's tone was calm, but there was a hint of unquestionable in his golden eyes.
"I saved you not out of pity," he continued, "but because...if you die, my mission will fail."
"Mission?" Su Yue sneered, "I am a mission?"
"You are a variable." He said solemnly, "a variable that even the parliament cannot control."
Su Yue lowered his eyes and clenched his fists: "So you want to use a contract to 'lock' me?"
"No, what I want is...to fight fate with you." His eyes deepened and his voice sank slightly, "You still don't understand, your blood mark is not given by the fallen, but comes from an older existence"
"Are you talking about the 'Lord of the Blood Moon'?" Su Yue raised her eyes, her eyes like a blade.
Ethan's pupils shrank suddenly.
She had already vaguely sensed the existence behind the blood mark.
"Who...are you?" she pressed.
After a moment of silence, Ethan finally raised his hand and lifted the black robe on his chest.
An inverted moon pattern appeared on his chest, and a totem with blood clan marks and wolf clan runes intertwined appeared in the silver-white moonlight.
"I am a twin." He said this word that was enough to make the entire night world tremble.
"You are... a hybrid of blood clan and wolf clan?!" Su Yue's breathing stagnated.
This kind of existence should have been completely wiped out by the night world a thousand years ago.
"My survival is forbidden." Ethan said calmly, "and you, too."
"So... you want to pull me together and go to war with the night world?"
"No. I want you to live longer than the night world."
The contract ceremony started.
Su Yue and Ethan dripped blood in front of the gate of the night oath respectively. The blood condensed into two ring marks in the air, interlocking with each other, and emitting blood-gold light during rotation.
"Confirm the form of the contract." Words appeared in the air.
Su Yue read out: "Symbiotic contract."
Ethan followed up: "Not master-servant, not bound by life and death, but sharing perception, stimulating combat power."
"Do you want to open the mind reflection?"
The two were silent. Su Yue gritted her teeth and said: "Open."
Ethan's pupils moved slightly, but he did not refuse: "Open."
Instantly, Su Yue felt a stream of consciousness flowing into her mind.
It was not an invasion, but a convergence of parallel thoughts.
She saw-
A teenager in the wilderness bit his mother's neck for the first time under the full moon; A mixed-blood child in a wolf pack, who sewed his wounds alone after his flesh was torn; Under the shadow of the blood clan palace, he was codenamed "Ultimate Cleaner" and was ordered to hunt down every "impure" existence like him.
Su Yue was shocked, and she almost suffocated for a moment.
"You...you are the exiled 'Silver Eyed Killer'?"
"That's my old name." He whispered, "Now I only fight for myself."
The contract was completed, and the blood ring slowly disappeared into the backs of the two people's hands, each forming a mutually embedded contract mark.
A trace of warmth flowed from the fingertips to the heart. Su Yue knew that from now on, they would no longer be able to completely hide from each other.
At the same time.
Fallen Camp·Low Tower Secret Room.
The Parliament Supervisor·Aras whispered softly: "Has Ethan completed the Night Oath?"
"Yes," a gray-robed Fallen reported, "The target is Su Yue."
"It's her..." Aras took out a piece of glimmering crystal, and the crystal showed the picture of Su Yue activating the blood seal.
The Blood Moon Seal had only appeared in ancient books.
"If she awakens all the blood energy, she will become the biggest destabilizing factor in the Night Realm."
"Does it need to be dealt with?" The gray-robed man whispered.
Aras's eyes were as cold as ice:
"Test whether she still has humanity."
"If not... kill her."
Three days later.
Su Yue received a secret order from the parliament: as a "fallen inspector", she went to the human city "Night Bridge City" to arrest a traitor.
And that traitor——
was her uncle, the "traitor" who had protected her from the night world during her childhood.
She understood.
This is not a mission, but a test.
A verification of her "humanity".
"They want to force me to kill the last fetter with my own hands." She whispered.
Ethan stood by the window with his back to her: "Then what will you choose?"
Su Yue did not answer. She just put on the black and gold gloves transformed by the Night Oath Mark.
She knew that she would go to a road with no retreat.
The lights of Night Bridge City were lighting up on the distant horizon.
And this newly-concluded hybrid and the Son of the Blood Moon are gradually embarking on a journey to subvert the fate of the entire Night Realm.
