The four words - shut-in, fair-skinned, short, and weak - perfectly describe Mo Shuwan.
Until one day, she boarded the mysterious dimensional bus and gained a group of变态 teammates...
Th...
Mo Shuwan's words probably convinced Wang Jian and the others. A few minutes later, they finally came over hesitantly. Mo Shuwan didn't say much, but took out the exorcism water that was almost gone from the bottom of the bottle from her pocket and said, "Those who are injured, come over here."
Wang Jian and the others looked at the bottle in Mo Shuwan's hand with strange expressions.
Could it be that she's had a change of heart and is planning to heal us?
Seeing that no one stepped forward, Mo Shuwan frowned and said, "This is holy water that I picked up from a vampire hunter. It was originally only effective against vampires, but now it works on you as well."
"How could that be? We're not those adults." Hearing Mo Shuwan say this, Wang Jian and the others relaxed. They were just ordinary humans, how could vampire hunters' stuff possibly work on them?
"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying it."
"Let's give it a try."
Apart from Wen Zuo and Yang Zhou, the other passengers were very nervous, fearing that Mo Shuwan would make a mistake.
Mo Shuwan calmly uncorked the bottle, poured two drops of the exorcising potion onto the man's wound, and after waiting two seconds and finding himself unharmed, the man immediately said smugly, "I told you there was no way anything could happen, but you still insisted—ah!"
The man who was just smug was now rolling on the ground with his arms crossed. Wang Jian stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible!"
The others were also shocked, but after the initial shock, they began to suspect that Mo Shuwan had tampered with the bottle. Just as they were thinking about how to make their move, she said, "Your blood contains the saliva of adults. This saliva makes you more like adults in terms of physique. Although the effect is very low, it still exists. So now you are no longer ordinary humans, and the vampire hunter's stuff will also work on you."
Of course, this was all made up by Mo Shuwan, but she guessed that what she said was pretty close to the truth, which is why the exorcism water reacted.
These words came like a bolt from the blue, completely stunning everyone present except Wen Zuo. The passengers who had exchanged for the exorcism potion were so shocked they nearly threw away the bottles they had in their pockets.
Mo Shuwan pressed her advantage, saying, "Separating will only allow the vampire hunters to pick us off one by one. Otherwise... I'm not willing to cooperate with you."
This was a reasonable explanation, and a few minutes later, a group of people filled the entire bus. Since they were traveling together, Mo Shuwan naturally couldn't pass up such a great opportunity, and immediately began to subtly inquire about the specifics of this mission world.
Wang Jian was still worried that the vampire's 'holy water' would also be effective on him. At this moment, he was as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant, answering Mo Shuwan's questions without any suspicion.
From him, Mo Shuwan also learned that the world was basically ruled by vampires, but most of the time vampires would sleep in coffins and would only come out to eat when they were hungry. After eating, vampires would be awake for at least half a month. During this half month, organizations like Mr. Chen would send a batch of humans to the vampires every day.
“Adults don’t usually kill people randomly, but if they’re in a bad mood…” As if thinking of something terrible, Wang Jian shrank his neck in fear, “Anyway, if you encounter an adult in a bad mood, you might be able to escape by offering your neck.”
Mo Shuwan nodded perfunctorily, then frowned slightly as she recalled Wang Jian's description of the vampire hunter.
Before they knew it, the bus had arrived at Crimson Road. The conversation inside the bus completely stopped. Wen Zuo, who was sitting on the outside, stood up and gestured to Mo Shuwan to wait a moment. After she nodded to indicate that she understood, he turned around and got off the bus.
The passengers were about to get off the bus, but after standing up and seeing that Mo Shuwan was still sitting there, they hesitated and sat back down. Wang Jian and the others also dared not get off the bus for various reasons.
A few minutes later, Mo Shuwan saw Wen Zuo wave to her.
"They're gone."
Wen Zuo: There are no vampires in the building; it's full of ordinary humans now.
Wen Zuo handed the paper with writing on it to Mo Shuwan, who was running over.
"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe they're hiding inside." Mo Shuwan thought for a moment and felt that there was a one in ten chance that the mother and son would come back here. They had demon-sensing talismans on them and knew that there were no vampires in the building. They might come back here with the idea that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Wen Zuo, of course, had no objections whatsoever.
But if the building was full of ordinary humans, it wouldn't be good for such a large group of them to rush in. Mo Shuwan, who had walked a few steps alongside Wen Zuo, turned around and looked at the passengers and Wang Jian and the others following behind her. "You split up and search on your own. Don't make too much noise." Seeing the fear on the passengers' faces, she had to add, "There are no traces of the adults here. Meet up here in an hour."
The passengers breathed a sigh of relief knowing there were no vampires here.
Wang Jian and the others found Mo Shuwan's additional statement strange: "Adults usually don't appear during the day, so of course they won't be here."
The passengers were then more at ease.
A few minutes later, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo shifted their attention away from the building's revolving doors. "It's the same as what we saw when we came back last night."
Wen Zuo: If we were indeed in this building last night, we shouldn't have heard the sound of a wooden door, but we did, and there was no sign of going through a revolving door when we went in. Perhaps we underestimated vampires.
Mo Shuwan also thought of this, and gave a helpless smile. "Hmm, a vampire with magic? A vampire who can teleport?" She let her imagination run wild and thought of many possibilities, then sighed, "This is really not good news."
Wen Zuo looked at Mo Shuwan. Although he didn't write anything, Mo Shuwan immediately saw the message of comfort in his eyes. She was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Although I'm still a bit weaker than you, I'm quite brave now. Don't always put taking care of me first."
Although it was a little embarrassing to say this outright, Mo Shuwan really didn't want Wen Zuo to continue like this. She didn't want Wen Zuo to get seriously injured or even die one day while taking care of her.
Wen Zuo returned a gentle smile. Mo Shuwan looked at him for a while, but she really couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she could only give up on continuing the topic for the time being.
After entering the building, the two observed the revolving door for a while, but since they found nothing, they split up and agreed to meet on the first floor in half an hour.
The first floor is completely different from what I saw when I went back last night. If the first floor last night was like a bar, then the first floor now has the decoration of an ordinary building.
Suppressing her doubts and worries, Mo Shuwan, having parted ways with Wen Zuo, turned and went up to the second floor, while Wen Zuo took the elevator to the top floor. One of them was responsible for checking the upper floors, and the other for checking the lower floors.
