The city of Losa was very quiet late at night.
Although there were pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages and even steam cars flowing on the streets during the day, there were almost no people outside at night, except for the night patrol police and some civilians who had to work at night.
In the rose fields near the outskirts of the city, the flower farmers adjusted the temperature of the rose sheds at night before going home in groups of three or four under the moonlight.
Luo Mi leaned against a tree, holding two cups, sipping the rose-flavored drinks in them.
Losa was known as the “City of Roses”, and people here were keen on using roses to make various decorations, food and drinks.
When going out in the evening, Luo Mi pestered Anos to buy two cups under the pretext that he wanted to drink, trying to subtly influence Anos to slowly indulge in eating and drinking.
As a result, Anos only took a few sips and gave it to Luo Mi, so Luo Mi had to drink two cups himself.
Not far in front of the big tree where Luo Mi was hiding, there was a young man dressed as a flower farmer, lying on a haystack with a flower pot in his arms, and he seemed to be fast asleep.
The straw hat just covered his face, with only some golden hair visible under the edge.
Luo Mi looked at it for a moment and muttered, “Anos is really dedicated in his performance.”
He lay there motionless, as if he was really asleep.
The system asked curiously:
[How can the host be sure to attract the vampire out?]
“Reinhardt went to the hospital and church clinic in Losa City to investigate cases in the past year, focusing on symptoms related to blood loss.” Luo Mi said confidently, “According to the information we have summarized, most cases related to flower farmers near the rose field, especially young people, inexplicably falling asleep at night and then developing symptoms related to blood loss. It can be roughly determined that this is the vampire’s ‘hunting area’.”
[This has happened so many times, and the Vatican has not noticed it.]
Luo Mi shrugged. “I’m afraid it’s because the Archbishop is powerless, which has led to a power vacuum and chaos. Maybe there’s also the interference of Count Sheen.”
And that vampire seemed to be well aware of the principle of keeping a low profile. He basically just sucked some blood and ran away, never causing serious injuries or deaths. Those whose blood was sucked were basically young people who could recover after two days of rest, so there was no big deal.
In recent days, because the Rose Festival was approaching, the flower farmers in the flower fields were very busy and went home in groups. It was thus difficult for the vampire to find an opportunity to attack alone, and there were no cases in the surrounding hospitals and clinics – the vampire must have not eaten enough for a while.
Now Anos played the role of a young flower farmer who fell asleep due to overwork. As the blood of the Son of God was of extremely high quality, Luo Mi believed that even if the vampire did not attack Anos immediately, he would be observing nearby.
The waiting process was a bit boring. Luo Mi could only chat with the system to pass the time, and he sincerely admired Anos’s determination and endurance.
“Why do you think there are no stars in the night sky here?” Luo Mi looked up at the sky. “At first I thought it was because of the serious pollution, but I didn’t see any pollution.”
[The system is not clear either, maybe the original author forgot to set it up.]
Luo Mi silently took two sips of the drink, put the empty bamboo cup aside, and sighed deeply: “Fortunately, the devil’s physique does not attract mosquitoes… It should be okay to just throw this cup here, right?”
As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly bent down and picked up the cup again.
The system was pleased:
[The host actually knows not to litter.]
Luo Mi was quite speechless and said: “Is your system really qualified? Can’t you see that I am being manipulated?!”
Just now, he suddenly heard a strange voice “Come here”, and then his hands and feet moved on their own!
This feeling was somewhat familiar, reminding Luo Mi of the first day he came to this world and was dominated by the demon pulled in by the summoning circle.
But at that time Anos killed the demon with holy light. This time, Anos was lying in the distance, pretending to be a flower farmer.
Luo Mi tried hard to use his willpower to regain control of his body, but finally found that he failed. Moreover, the demon that controlled him this time seemed to be stronger than the last one, and Luo Mi couldn’t use any strength at all.
“Is this vampire disrespectful to me?” Luo Mi muttered, “Is he different from Daisy?”
Since he couldn’t resist, Luo Mi had to obey and watch himself tiptoe for a while, then flap his wings and fly in a certain direction.
He said to the system in shock: “So my wings are not decorations?”
[…]
Such a rare opportunity, Luo Mi quickly tried to experience the feeling of flying so that he could fly while controlling his body.
Unfortunately, this experience did not last long, and he flew to a river.
This river seemed to be the source of water for the rose fields over there, and there was a waterwheel slowly rotating. In the moonlight beside the waterwheel, a young man was holding something in his hand and smiling at Luo Mi who was flying over.
He had gray hair, deep eye sockets, skin that was almost as pale as a corpse, pupils stained with blood, two canine teeth exposed from under his lips, and a black cloak. Except for not showing the bat wings, he was exactly the same as the vampire Luo Mi had imagined.
After Luo Mi flew to his side, he saw that the vampire was holding a dark feather. This feather inexplicably reminded Luo Mi of the future of the Son of Saint Anos, the arrogant and evil fallen angel, that he saw on the Wall of Sighs.
But before Luo Mi could observe carefully, the vampire had already put away the feather and said in a charming voice: “Throw away the bullets.”
Luo Mi’s hands moved on their own. He took out the pistol from his arms and threw away all the silver bullets inside.
Then he felt his body relax and he regained control.
At this point, Luo Mi calmed down and looked at the vampire in front of him carefully: “Are you the vampire demon that triggered Archbishop Ellis?”
The vampire raised his gray eyebrows and corrected, “First of all, address me as the honorable Viscount Peidi of the vampire clan.”
Luo Mi curled his lips. It fit his stereotype of vampires as well.
He changed the question: “Then, Lord Viscount Peidi, why did you call me over?”
Vampire, no, blood clan Peidi smiled, then his canine teeth shrouded in a dangerous light under the silver moonlight: “You betrayed the Demon Realm camp and colluded with the hypocrites of the Church to lure me into the trap. What do you think I called you here for?”
Luo Mi was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: “Aren’t you the subordinate assigned to me?”
The handsome vampire’s face suddenly darkened: “A noble blood clan member given to you a low-level succubus as a subordinate?”
Luo Mi blinked, and found out with a bit of a smile that he was wrong: It turned out that this was not the person arranged for him by the Black Wing Lord?
Come to think of it, the Black Wing Lord began to command the infiltration of the Light Domain in recent months, but Archbishop Ellis had his demon blood awakened two years ago.
Luo Mi coughed lightly: “I’m not trying to lure you into the trap. If I were to lure you into the trap, would I do this? Isn’t my existence just to remind you that this is a trap?”
Peidi looked at him suspiciously but was not fooled. “Then tell me, what do the people from the Vatican want to do?”
“They are looking for the vampire who awakened Archbishop Ellis’s bloodline.” Luo Mi quickly changed his words with a sincere expression, “I’m afraid they want to find out what happened two years ago.”
Peifi sneered: “What can those idiots of the Holy See do? I have lived in Losa City for so many years, and no one was aware of my existence before Ellis came.”
Luo Mi blinked: “Archbishop Ellis noticed it?”
“Oh! I just noticed it.” Pei Di said disdainfully, “But what’s the use? I am immune to his holy light!”
Luo Mi asked curiously: “Why?”
“Because…” Peidi suddenly stopped talking here and laughed, “You kid are not going to lie to me and tell those lackeys of the Church,, right?”
Luo Mi was surprised and asked, “How could that be? We are both demons, so aren’t we on the same side?”
Peidi laughed again.
This time his smile was not as sarcastic and false as before, but instead had a hint of meaningful coldness.
He licked the tip of his teeth gently towards Luo Mi, and said slowly: “Who told you that we are on the same side as demons? Just like tonight, who told you that I came here to suck human blood?”
Luo Mi was stunned, and a chill slowly ran up his spine, as if a wild animal had encountered a natural enemy. His instinct told him to run away immediately, but he could not move a step.
Peidi took a step closer to Luo Mi, and his magnetic voice even became a little gentle: “Let me tell you something about vampires: the objects of vampire urges are not exactly the same. Most vampires are not picky about their feeding objects and their blood-sucking urges are particularly strong towards humans; but my branch is different. I have almost no blood-sucking urge towards humans. Instead, I have a strong appetite for demons and people with demon blood.”
Luo Mi’s pupils dilated slightly.
“I’ve lived in Losa City for so many years, and the people I sucked blood from were basically people with thin demon blood. Although it tasted bland, at least it could fill my stomach… Fortunately, in recent years, there have been more delicacies coming from the Demon Realm.”
Peidi had already walked to Luo Mi’s side, gently stroked Luo Mi’s smooth neck, and continued with a smile, “Do you understand? My lovely little bread? Strictly speaking, I am not a human killer, but a demon killer.”
His canine teeth gradually lengthened, revealing a sharp glow.
Luo Mi’s body couldn’t help but tremble, as if he was a fish on a chopping board.
But he soon stopped shaking, and a smile appeared on his face: “Although the process of deduction was wrong, fortunately the result is correct.”
Peidi was stunned for a moment.
Then a beam of holy light burst out from the river behind him and shone directly on him!
The vampire screamed and curled up in the holy light. The collar on Luo Mi’s neck lit up, and an invisible film appeared on his body, blocking the holy light.
Reinhardt jumped out of the river, holding a “flashlight” in one hand, wiping the water off his face with the other hand, and throwing out a magic-suppressing ring.
The magic-suppressing ring automatically found the neck of Peidi, who was almost fainting in the holy light, and buckled on with a “click”.
Peidi’s body twitched and he fainted completely.
Reinhardt then turned off the Holy Light, stretched his arms and legs, and said, “Tsk, tsk … He only said that he was immune to Archbishop Ellis’s Holy Light, not anything else.”
Luo Mi wiped his forehead and nodded to Reinhardt, “Well done.”
“Don’t imitate His Highness’s speech.” Reinhardt’s face was dark, and he picked up the unconscious vampire with one hand, “Let’s go, it’s time to ask His Highness to go back.”
Luo Mi rummaged behind his neck and pulled out a small Vatican communicator. After turning off the call, he put it in his pocket.
This was what Reinhardt used to locate him. As a person who attracted attention, Anos could only lie still where he was.
If he met a vampire and found out that he was related to the Black Wing Lord, Luo Mi’s system would interfere with and hijack the communicator to ensure that their conversation did not leak secrets.
The bait on the surface was Anos, but the real bait was Luo Mi all along, who was extremely conspicuous beside the Son of God and could not help but arouse the curiosity of any demon hiding behind him!
