/kloc-In the 5th century, the European Church admitted that there were zombies in the world.
300 years later, people passed on word of mouth.
This is looking for the dead in the dark.
The trajectory is unpredictable and the image is changeable.
Vampires are famous monsters in the western world. A vampire is a monster because he is in an awkward position: neither a god nor a devil, nor a man. Just like being abandoned by God, this is vividly shown in the movie Vampire.
But this does not prevent it from becoming the most charming, mysterious and romantic legend, because it has all the incredible charm: young, beautiful and immortal ... there is always a sadistic and masochistic relationship between vampires and victims, just like the saying goes, "Let you die in extreme happiness." What could be more attractive than this?
Scholars of all ages have written many poetic scripts to express this yearning and fear, such as Byron's Vampire 18 16, Coleridge's The Label of Christ, Keats' Ruthless Beauty and lamia ... Even Dumas and Dickens have written related works, but the most influential of these works is Stoke's.
What is a vampire?
In Europe, the legend of vampires has been circulating all the time. Thousands of people believe this legend and tremble in the dark.
Vampires are an ancient and mysterious race. Theoretically, the so-called vampire can be understood as a dead body to some extent. They have no heartbeat and pulse, no breathing, no body temperature, and they are immortal. At the same time, they have their own thoughts, they can think, talk, walk, even get hurt and die.
Their power is far greater than that of ordinary people, and they have power that ordinary people can't get. In fact, in order to maintain their living conditions, they must feed on blood. Generally speaking, most vampires usually feed on human blood, but some vampires feed on the blood of animals and even other vampires. Judging from the way of smoking, some vampires will raise livestock (herds), not animals such as cattle and sheep, but some human beings who voluntarily donate blood for some reason; Other vampires will use special occasions to lure humans to achieve their goals. There are also some vampires who usually take the form of attack to force blood.
Many people think that as long as vampires suck blood, the sucked person will become a vampire. This view is incorrect. People who are eaten by vampires may die, but they will not become vampires. If a vampire intends to turn a person into a vampire, he must give his blood to the other person. The victim received the blood of the smoker, and the two kinds of blood can be fused into vampires. This phenomenon of blood fusion will give smokers a completely wonderful feeling, and this process is called "hug". After the first hug, the victim became the offspring of the smoker. According to the secret party's precepts, vampires can't develop their offspring at will, and a vampire must be responsible for the behavior of their offspring.
Every vampire has extraordinary abilities. But this ability is not innate. Young vampires have almost the same abilities as ordinary people. But with the growth of age and experience, vampires will gradually explore their own abilities, thus making themselves stronger. Theoretically, the older the vampire, the stronger his ability. The ability of the third generation vampires can even be compared with God. In front of these vampires, ordinary people are vulnerable
Many sources believe that vampires are afraid of many things, such as garlic, holy water and wooden stakes. Most of these rumors are incorrect. What vampires fear most is sunlight. Some powerful vampires have weak resistance to sunlight, but no vampire can resist sunlight. In addition, high temperature has a certain restraining effect on vampires, so vampires usually act at night, because daylight and high temperature during the day will seriously affect their thinking and ability. Besides, vampires are not afraid of garlic and holy water. If someone has extremely strong religious beliefs, it is possible to temporarily suppress vampires with crosses, but vampires will never die. Similarly, stakes have no effect on vampires, but if you can nail a vampire's heart with stakes, you can temporarily paralyze it until it is pulled out.
In fact, vampires themselves are not evil. After a person is hugged for the first time, he usually retains his humanity. These people will think that they can move and live freely as before. But at the same time, he began to be afraid of sunshine and high temperature. Can't go out during the day. He will feel his strong desire for blood. He will find himself living in the blood of people around him. These ideas are so strong that they are completely out of control. Gradually, his way of thinking and behavior will change. A vampire will try to resist his behavior at first, but in the end, his nature will prevail and he will gradually get used to the new way of life. Finally, he fully understood that he was no longer an ordinary person. He is usually far away from the bustling area, living alone and not in contact with anyone. Because of my constitution, I won't get old. They will live in the world, witness the changes in the world around them, and witness the death of their relatives and friends. And he can only feed on blood and life day after day. The human beings around him are just weak creatures, and they have no reason or need to respect and care for human beings. They despise human beings and are very jealous. Finally, they became demons.
So are there vampires or monsters? This will start with the origin of vampire legends, but it is interesting: when looking for relevant information, I found the origin of two vampire legends with completely different views. One thinks that there are no vampires in the world and provides corresponding data and evidence; Another thinks that there are vampires in the world, and also quotes the same information as the former to illustrate this view. Here, I will post the legends of these two "vampires". Interested players can take a look and distinguish some subtle differences between the two.
Any tragedy has its origin. Like the history written by human beings, vampires have their own history, although most of them belong to legends.
The earliest origin of vampires is said to be Cain in the Bible. According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden and went to the wilderness, where they gave birth to many children. Cain is the third oldest person in the world. He is a farmer and lives with the shepherd's brother. Once, as usual, the two men offered sacrifices to God. Because it is convenient for my brother to graze and offer plenty of meat, Cain's radish attracts God's dissatisfaction. Cain killed his brother angrily. The next day, God asked Cain where his brother had gone, but he argued that he didn't know. God is angry, "cunning! Your brother's ghost cried to me about your atrocities, so you must accept my punishment! Cain asked God for mercy. God said, "No, I won't kill you. I know you will be spurned in the future. So I give you a distinctive sign to let others know that you don't deserve to be killed-just try to torture you. In the vampire legend hidden for thousands of years, Cain's scourge is that he must rely on the blood of the living to maintain his life, and he will never die, suffering from this curse from generation to generation. Moreover, God makes his mark visible to everyone and condemns it, which is different from the Bible. Later in the book, he paired up with Satan's lover Lilith (Lilith, first appeared in Sumerian mythology, Adam's first wife in the Old Testament, left the Garden of Eden because of dissatisfaction with God), saying that Lilith was a powerful witch and taught Cain how to use blood to generate power for his own use. Because of this, some people think that Lilith was really the first vampire.
Driven by loneliness, Gaiyin created the second generation of vampires. They have 13 offspring. This third generation is a survivor of Noah's flood. They established the 13 clan, and later rebelled and wiped out the second generation of vampires. The third code in ancient times claimed to have the power comparable to that of God. Today, thousands of years later, the bloodline of vampires has reached the thirteenth to fifteenth generations. Before the Middle Ages, vampire members, because of their special strength and immortal body, usually became the overlord of one side, and even fought for power and profit with each other, causing the fear of ordinary people. It was not until the14th century or so that the inquisition of the Catholic Church discovered the existence of vampires, and then wantonly carried out supplementary killings. Although vampires have super powers, no vampire can stop the threat of cooperation from thousands of mortals at the same time. So the survival of vampires fell into an unprecedented crisis. In order to cope with the bad situation, several vampire clans at that time (about the sixth generation to the eighth generation) had to form an alliance, so the Camarilla (secret party) alliance was born. This is an alliance faction composed of seven clans, and it is also a larger alliance faction so far. When the secret party was founded, it established six strict traditions of commandments, which required the later vampires in the league to abide by forever. The highest purpose of the whole discipline tradition is to stipulate that vampires must hide in human society and never reveal their identity, so as not to lead to the danger of vampire survival.
Machine, this is the origin of the "hermit" commandment.
Another alliance outside the secret party is Sabbat. Although each clan can join the Rubik's Cube, it is mainly controlled by two clans. The Magic Party is Camarilla's old enemy. They don't approve of isolationism. They rule with fear, force and threats. It is said that the Magic Party will bury new vampires alive, arouse their fears, and then control them with rituals and blood ties. Rubik's cube also regards human beings as inferior animals and drives them to kill at will. Secret party member usually calls Sabat "the hand of darkness".
In addition, the other four clans who did not join the secret party or the magic party usually remained neutral or acted according to circumstances in the struggle between the two factions.

Not only is it recorded in the Bible, but in fact, in Europe, the legend of vampires has been circulating since history. Thousands of people believe this legend and tremble in the dark.
Human society doesn't know much about vampire race. In fact, although the history of vampire is almost as long as myth, due to the discipline and self-control of vampire population, human beings have never been able to understand them deeply.
In history, the first human understanding of vampire race began in 1484. At that time, the whole of Europe was under the war of vampires. Vampire groups go out at night and are embraced by humans on a large scale. Many people can't accept the first hug, which leads to nervous disorder. Because the symptoms of people who received the first hug were similar to the plague, human society at that time thought it was another large-scale plague.
Many human beings were buried in the same kind of graves before they died completely, or before their first embrace resumed. A few days later, for some unknown reason, people opened the graves and found that these bodies had changed their posture and were still stained with blood. This is the vampire that humans first came into contact with. Since then, the legend of vampires has spread in East Prussia, Silesia, Bohemia and other places.
1484, The Secret of Witchcraft, written by two Dominican monks Jacob Plenge and heinrich kramer, was approved and published by Pope Innocenti VIII, which was the first time in human history that the Christian church recognized the existence of supernatural power.

17 10 year, the vampire war started again. The location of the war was in East Prussia. People who had just been hugged once again flooded the land, and cities and villages were shrouded in the smell of death. This ancient legend once again spread among the frightened people. In order to prevent the newly hugged vampires from coming back to life, the authorities in East Prussia dug up the graves of corpses on a large scale and nailed a large number of wooden nails to each uncorrupted corpse. At the same time, the Inquisition mobilized a large number of knights against vampires, and every battle was extremely tragic. But these battles are usually known only to nobles, and most people know nothing about them.
In fact, unless there is a war or if there is a necessity, the vampire group will generally not take the initiative to attack humans on a large scale, because this mysterious group knows what consequences exposure will bring to them. However, there are still some vampires who will suck human blood at will for some reason.
1725, a farmer named Pierre Plogowitz became a vampire after being hugged for the first time. He killed eight people in a village called Kilowa. Another vampire's name is Arnold Paulle. He killed many people in a village called Medwegya.
Human society is very concerned about these two incidents and has conducted a large-scale investigation. But in the end, they hid the truth of the investigation from the public. The report of the first case is now kept in the archives in Vienna. A word-"Van Peele" appeared for the first time. This is the origin of the name vampire. In 173 1, the human authorities conducted a more in-depth investigation into the second case. A military doctor, Fluckinger, made a detailed record of the whole investigation process and results, which was signed by several officers and doctors of hejduk Company, submitted to the Belgrade court with the title of "Seeing and Finding" and officially published in 1732. French King Louis XV asked Li Sailiu to write a detailed report on the official result of the case and submit it to him. This report caused a great sensation among mankind. 1March 3, 832, the word "vampire" appeared in the report of "Scavengers", which was the first time that the word "vampire" appeared in French.
The whole human society has a great interest in the vampire population, and many people have begun to study this phenomenon. However, because the secret society of vampires requires the vampire population to strictly abide by six commandments, the results of these studies are mostly absurd. In the History and Philosophy of the Chewing Phenomenon of the Dead published in Leipzig on 1679, Philip Lehrer explained the chewing phenomenon in the grave as demon possession, which was supported by many people at that time. 1728, Renft also published a book "Bodies Chewing at Will in the Grave" in Leipzig, which strongly refuted Lerner.
With the development of science, stupid people think that they have mastered everything and begin to abandon their beliefs and smear their souls at will. The family emblem symbolizing glory is covered with dust, and the legend of vampires makes many people feel absurd. Humans seem to think they are capable enough to despise vampires. However, in sharp contrast to this stupid behavior, the vampire population is still sipping red blood in the dark corner.
Let's abandon the absurd research of ordinary people and try to understand the vampire world as deeply as possible. In fact, the history of vampire clan is much longer than most people think. According to a mysterious historical record, the earliest origin of vampires is Cain in the Bible. Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden by God to live in the wilderness. They gave birth to many children. Cain was their first child and the third person in the world.
Cain is a farmer and lives with his brother. These two men make sacrifices to God every day. One day, two people sacrificed at the same time. Cain provided green vegetables, while his brother, the shepherd, provided the meat of cattle and sheep. Cain was jealous of his brother and killed him.
The next day, God asked Cain where his brother was, but Cain lied that he didn't know. God was furious and said to Cain, "I heard your brother crying. You must accept the punishment." Cain begged for forgiveness. God said, "I won't kill you, I know you will be spurned in the future, so I will give you a sign that everyone will torture you, but I won't kill you, and you will be cursed forever."
Cain then fled to what is now Africa, where he had to live on the blood of the living for life, never dying, and was cursed by mankind for generations. In White Wolf, Cain later married Lilith, Satan's lover, who taught Cain how to drink the blood of the living to gain strength.

Because of loneliness, Cain created his descendants, the second generation of vampires. The second generation of vampires has 13 offspring. This 13 person is called the third generation vampire. The third generation vampires are survivors of Noah's flood. They established 13 different vampire clans and wiped out their parents-the second generation vampires.
The age of the third generation vampires is almost as long as human history, and their abilities also grow with age. By now, their strength is almost the same as that of God. Before the Middle Ages, because of their special abilities and immortal bodies, vampires usually competed for rights with each other, which made people panic (such as 1484 and 17 10 wars). Catholic courts and inquisitions acknowledged the existence of vampires and killed them. Although the vampire clan has strength, it can't resist the coordinated attack of hundreds of people at the same time. The survival of the whole vampire family is in an unprecedented crisis.
Under this condition, seven vampire clans began to form an alliance with each other, forming a secret political party alliance (Camarilla). The secret party alliance has established six vampire traditions, which require vampires in the alliance to abide by forever.
In addition to the secret party, another alliance of vampires is the magic party. The whole Rubik's Cube Alliance is controlled by two clans. The Magic League does not recognize the Six Commandments of the Secret Party. Their ruling means are mainly force and blood. Legend has it that the Rubik's Cube will bury new vampire members alive, make them afraid, and then bind them with blood. The battle between the magic party and the secret party has been going on. Conflicts occur from time to time.
The other four tribes remained neutral in the struggle. In fact, the whole vampire family is divided into several alliances to fight against each other, and the biggest victim of the battle is usually human beings.
