Bloodivores

Hello, everyone.

Thank you so much for coming to the D+ Genetics presentation.

We are truly honored by your presence.

I am BST Chairman Mi Tenju.

I appreciate you giving me your time.

Without any further ado,

I would like to announce some specific results of our research.

These results will overturn what's currently considered common knowledge.

They will also cause a profound change to the world.

The name "Child of Peace" is truly appropriate for said results.

Is it a new invention?

"Child of Peace"?

Is it the product of BST's research?

What?

Child of Peace?

Is it human?

Allow me to explain.

Hello, everyone.

I am BST Genetics Research Team Chief Shimon Guching.

This is my child.

And the world's first half-bloodivore.

Half?

The child's a half-breed?

Half-bloodivore?

Is it true?

Is it the child of a human and a bloodivore?

Does half mean half-human?

Impossible!

Aren't our races too different?

Wait a minute!

Has a child really been born to a human and a bloodivore?

Yes. This child was born to me and Mi Tenju, a bloodivore.

His name is Mi Liu.

He's currently five years old.

He's been living a healthy life since he was born.

And so far, he hasn't displayed any bloodivore impulses.

We believe Mi Liu is humanity's hope.

Child of Peace! Child of Peace!

Child of Peace! Child of Peace!

Anji!

That's not Anji.

Who is she?

And who is he?

Where am I?

Why am I in here with these people?

Episode 2

Awakening

"Awakening."

Huh? A backpack?

These are my clothes.

And why's there a gun?

If they have similar things in their backpacks,

I might be able to figure out who they are.

Don't move.

What?

What are you two doing?

And where are we?

Why am I still alive?

Alive?

Were you two also sentenced to death?

What?

You seem confused.

I can't believe we're trapped in here.

You should try to sit still for a while, kid.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to hold back.

Hold back?

Get down!

Shit! Stop!

There's no sign of blood.

Was that a tranquilizer?

Then Anji and the others must be alive, too.

Wait, what? What are you doing?

Oh, um...

Don't worry about me.

I just couldn't stand to wear my prison uniform anymore.

Tell me your names and what you did.

I'm Mi Liu. Robbery.

I'm Cho Ifen. F-Financial fraud, basically.

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

I'm Lee Shin, a professional assassin.

You guys should have weapons in your backpacks, too.

Check them.

I can't believe they gave weapons to death row inmates.

It must mean the fighting can start at any time.

What is this sound?

M-My head...!

Huh?

It stopped?

Where are we?

A warehouse?

Why am I here?

I can't believe there are so many.

Were they all sentenced to death?

Could this be a bloodivore concentration camp?

But why?

Welcome to Aori, everyone.

Did you rest well?

A woman! It's a woman!

Don't worry.

There are no handcuffs or cells or correctional officers here.

This is a special prison created for you.

First the good news.

Your death sentences have been remitted.

Anji? An—

Mi Liu, wait.

What?

I'm right here.

Anji? Then who is that?

Let's keep quiet and listen to what she has to say for now.

We may be able to learn something.

We've been pardoned? Is that true?

We're going to be released!

However, you will live here in Aori for the rest of your lives.

What?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about, bitch?

Are you making fun of us?

You think you can say whatever you want?

You'd better not resist.

Otherwise... you'll get this!

Your new look suits you.

Now let's have some fun.

Chen Fong?

Don't do it. If you get any closer to her, you'll pay for it!

You bastard...

Did you just kick me in the head?

She's my girl, kid.

You want to get hurt?

That collar...

Shit! Damn pervert.

I'll knock you on your ass!

Chen Fong, don't!

Don't fight back! These collars...

Whoa, there. Don't move, kid.

You're his friend, aren't you?

Why don't you sit tight for now?

Is there someone behind you?

Is it a girl?

It's a girl! Move, kid.

I said "move," kid!

Think about the situation you're in.

Give me the girl, yeah?

Otherwise your head will...

What about his head?

Win Chao? You're here, too?
