Vampires found it difficult to possess healthy humans, as healthy individuals possessed a powerful psychic force that instinctively rejected them.
Therefore, they preferred the dying and undecayed corpses.
Gao Chengyu’s body wasn’t stolen by anyone, but rather possessed by a vampire, who resurrected him from the dead, and now he possessed immense power, and could continue his life of arbitrary dominance.
Liang Tian wasn’t killed by a body snatcher, but by Gao Chengyu.
The Mercedes-Benz sped through the night. While Ye Qing drove silently, saying nothing. Li Yuebai sat in the passenger seat, his hands on his forehead, his heart churning.
This time, the challenge had become even greater. Where the opponent was, what their next move would be… nothing was known. There was no way to counter their moves. Even what a vampire looked like, or what weapons to use to fight them, was unclear.
After an unknown amount of time, the car arrived at a dusty neighborhood with low, run-down buildings, cluttered with the usual signs about obtaining a license.
Rent in the older neighborhood was relatively affordable, and Gu Xisha had been renting there since being fired.
The Mercedes-Benz twisted and turned through the narrow, deserted streets of the neighborhood, barely avoiding parked cars, and pulled into the underground parking lot. The entire drive was silent, not even a security guard in sight.
After parking, Li Yuebai began to seriously consider inviting Ye Qing to stay overnight. Gao Chengyu could come for revenge at any moment, and other vampires could possess Ye Qing at any moment. Two people would be safer than one.
But how could he explain all this to the male protagonist, who was still clueless?
Li Yuebai sighed, and before getting out of the car, he glanced outside, sensing danger everywhere.
And he actually saw something strange.
A little girl, seemingly only five or six years old, wearing cute pajamas, stood in a corner of the parking lot.
Opposite the little girl, stood an adult woman. Li Yuebai could only see her back – she was tall and slender, wearing a long skirt, with black curly hair hanging down.
The adult woman was bent down slightly, holding the little girl’s hand with one hand, but the little girl looked very reluctant to move, with a dull expression, as if she had not woken up yet.
“Ye Qing, are there any weapons in the car?” Li Yuebai locked his eyes with the adult woman and asked the person behind him in a low voice.
Ye Qing’s face did not move at all. He just casually took out a Japanese sword from under the seat. It was very long, with a black handle and scabbard, and a vine pattern printed on the scabbard. When he pulled it out, he saw that it was sharpened, and the blade was shiny silver-white.
“Give it to me.” Li Yuebai reached out to grab it but failed to take it away.
“You are now on bail pending trial.” Ye Qing looked at him, with no intention of letting go.
“I know!” Li Yuebai replied irritably, “But I can’t care less right now.”
“That mother and daughter?” Ye Qing glanced briefly outside. “What’s wrong with them?”
“It’s 3 a.m. now.”
“Maybe it’s a family dispute, and the mother wants to take the child away.”
“The hand-holding position is completely wrong. The woman’s posture and movements are wrong, and the child’s expression is wrong too.” Li Yuebai took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and spoke faster. “When a mother walks hand in hand with her child, she usually holds the child’s right hand with her left hand, or the child’s left hand with her right hand. That’s the correct position for walking together.”
“Yes.”
“But this woman held the girl’s right hand with her right hand, so they were facing each other—a very strange position, I’ve never seen it before.” Li Yuebai took a deep breath. “If we’re lucky, they’re human traffickers or kidnappers. If we’re unlucky…”
Ye Qing thought for a second, nodded, and let go.
Li Yuebai closed his eyes, opened them again, opened the car door, drew his sword, and leaped out.
His feet touched the parking lot ground, and then he exerted force, ran, and leaped.
Li Yuebai secretly marvelled inwardly— the fighting power of this body was immense!
Its limbs were nimble and powerful, its soft-soled leather shoes making no sound as it stepped on the ground, and it could leap with ease. The weight and control of the Japanese sword with its vine pattern felt familiar in his hand. Gu Xisha was skilled with a sword, but the vine pattern felt like a toy in his hands.
Mr. Bai, the athletic wretch with cerebellar underdevelopment, had never experienced anything like this in his twenty-plus years.
He didn’t dodge and taking the shortest possible route, charged straight at the woman’s back.
Even without making a sound, his body made a rustling sound, and the woman, hearing it, abruptly let go of the girl and turned around.
She had the usual curly hairstyle and wore a dark red dress, a popular Taobao item, somewhat worn. Her face was pale, thin, and a bit sickly, her expression was however hollow and fierce, a bit like those drug addicts in a drug detention center.
If you ignored the wound on her neck and the gaping hole in her heart…
Li Yuebai hadn’t finished his sentence.
“If I’m unlucky… it’ll be a vampire.”
But since his future was already so dire, what was there to fear?
The incision on the woman’s neck was so deep that the white cervical vertebrae were practically visible. At this depth, the larynx, trachea, and major arteries must have been completely severed, yet there was no blood on her neck. The incision was a pale white, as if the blood had already drained away. Her head and body were strangely connected by some force, not swaying or drooping. She wasn’t breathing, no sound of breathing, no sound of air from her lungs escaping from the severed trachea.
A gaping hole opened in her heart, but there was no blood either; her heart had long been destroyed.
However, the closer he got, the more he realized—both the incision on her neck and the hole in her heart were healing at an astonishing speed! Pale flesh was growing out, connecting with each other, and both the incision and the hole were rapidly shrinking.
The woman stepped towards Li Yuebai, her mouth wide open in a strange smile.
When she was three meters away from the girl, her stunned expression vanished. She rubbed her eyes, then a look of terror filled her face, followed by a burst of sobs. It seemed this vampire possessed some kind of mind-control magic, capable of keeping its victims silent within its range.
“Who interrupted my meal?” the woman whispered, eerie and soft. Because her trachea was still severed, her words were forced out of her throat.
Then, she lunged at Li Yuebai.
In an instant, her ten nails grew at a frantic pace, reaching the length of a dagger. They sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound as they stabbed at Li Yuebai’s face. Li Yuebai took a half step back, holding the vine-patterned sword horizontally in front of him. With perfect anticipation, he blocked the thrust, the nails and blade colliding with a metallic clang accompanied by sparks. Her face was too close, her eyes fixed on Li Yuebai, her pupils filled with the aura of death.
Li Yuebai took her attack again and again, then spun around, aiming for an opening and slashing with his blade—severing the upper half of her head, spilling out pale brain matter and sticky blood.
This vampire wasn’t very strong, or perhaps Gu Xisha was simply too strong. Li Yuebai had never even killed a chicken before, but in this critical moment, he had to be ruthless.
Just as Li Yuebai was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she giggled, then she stepped aside, bent down, and picked up the half-skull from the ground. She put it back on her head like a hat! After which the wound started healing rapidly, returning to its original shape in a moment.
Li Yuebai felt an expected sense of despair. As expected of a vampire, she could regenerate and was difficult to kill.
The woman’s attacks grew more frantic and swifter with each attack. At one point, she nearly strangled Li Yuebai with her arm, then, seemingly brushing against something, she suddenly screamed and withdrew her hand.
Li Yuebai clearly saw a small wound on her arm, as if burned by fire, and it hadn’t healed on its own for a long time.
Could there be something on my body that could have burned her?
The wound was small, round… silver earrings!
Li Yuebai shuddered and touched his earlobes. Yes, he had noticed it when he first came through. He was wearing a men’s sterling silver earring on each earring. The female vampire had accidentally touched it when she had put her arm around him.
Legends from various countries also said that vampires were afraid of sterling silver, but it turned out to be true!
The woman didn’t attack again, but instead confronted Li Yuebai coldly.
Li Yuebai held the vine-patterned sword across his body, keeping a close eye on her movements. At the same time, he glanced around and saw no one of the woman’s kind, but he did see Ye Qing.
Ye Qing stood calmly in the distance, his gun steady in his hand, the muzzle pointed at the female vampire.
“You little bast**d, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Shoot.” Although Li Yuebai was about to cry in his heart, he still pretended to be cool and domineering on the surface.
“Shooting is useless.” Ye Qing answered calmly.
It was indeed useless.
“What’s your name?” Li Yuebai turned his head and stared at the woman and asked.
According to the setting of this world, she must have been an ordinary human before she became a vampire. I wonder if she still retains human consciousness.
“My name is Countess Karnstein, and I feed on the blood of young girls.” The female vampire replied with a sneer.
There’s no hope.
“Ye Qing, come closer.” Li Yuebai lowered his voice.
Ye Qing frowned in confusion but still walked forward.
Li Yuebai didn’t look at Ye Qing, but just raised his hand, and two silver lights flew out from his palm, flew far towards Ye Qing, and fell to the ground.
“Bullets.” Li Yuebai explained simply.
Seeing the situation was dire, the female vampire frantically rushed towards Ye Qing, attempting to attack, but was quickly stopped by Li Yuebai. The action on both sides intensified, creating a dazzling scene for the spectators.
After an unknown amount of time, two gunshots rang out.
Countess Karnstein froze. Two gunshot muzzles appeared on her body, one in her chest and one in her forehead. Instead of healing, they glowed with a scorching, lava-like glow. Then, the holes slowly expanded, igniting from the inside out. Her entire body erupted like lava, quickly reducing her to a charred mess.
Just then, Ye Qing quickly picked up the silver earrings Li Yuebai had thrown him, unsnapped the bullet, loaded the earrings into the bullet, and then, finding a good opportunity, fired.
“Do you believe in vampires now?” Li Yuebai sighed, using his sword to support himself on the ground.
