After Fang Zheng spent five minutes explaining everything to her, Yumizuka Satsuki still looked incredulous.

But this is normal. Who would have thought that they would go home and find themselves dead when they wake up?

Although she didn't want to believe it, the blood bag and the cold body in front of her told her the truth. And just now, Yumatsuka Satsuki also tried and found that she was indeed... no longer breathing, and her heart had stopped beating.

This put her into a daze.

While Fang was waiting for her to come back to her senses, he glanced at Elquet next to him and found that she also had her eyes wide open in surprise.

"This is impossible..."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Elquet's look of having seen a ghost, Fang Zheng frowned in confusion. The girl died suddenly and didn't react. It's understandable that she needs to be mentally prepared. But why are you, a vampire, meddling here?

"No, I mean... maybe she did deserve to die."

"Um?"

Girl, how can you talk like that? It's not nice to say that on your first meeting.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Understanding the looks in Fang Zheng and Qiu Ye's eyes, Elquet shook his hand.

"I mean... this human may have the potential to become a Dead Apostle."

"Oh? How do you explain that?"

Hearing this topic, Fang Zheng immediately became interested, and Elquet also spoke.

"You should know that in legends, vampires can turn other people into vampires."

"Yes."

Qiu Ye nodded. She had also read some vampire legends, so she was naturally very clear about it. Elquet continued to explain.

"But in fact, this is just a reduction of our behavior by humans. Not everyone can become a vampire. In this world, there are two types of vampires. Those who become vampires by nature are called True Ancestors, and those who become vampires by nature are Dead Apostles. In human legends, those who suck human blood, have servants, are afraid of sunlight, and can be exterminated are Dead Apostles. And True Ancestors..."

As he spoke, Elquet raised his head proudly.

"If you're like me, you don't need to suck blood, you're not afraid of the sun, and you won't die if you're killed."

"So the vampire we are looking for belongs to the latter?"

"That's right."

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Elquite nodded.

"Dead Apostles are transformed later in life. They were not vampires at first, so they need to suck blood. Because they are not born immortal, they need to take in other people's cells and blood in order to replenish their deteriorating genetic factors... Isn't it the same for all creatures? Whether they are herbivores or carnivores, they will die if they don't replenish their nutrients. The same is true for Dead Apostles. Their bodies began to deteriorate the moment they became vampires, so they had to absorb the genetic factors of others to stabilize their bodies."

At this point, Elquet clapped his hands.

"What I'm going to say next is that a vampire can turn someone into a vampire by biting them, which is essentially right and wrong."

"What's the meaning?"

"Not everyone who is bitten will become a vampire. Otherwise, the world would have been occupied by vampires long ago. In fact, ordinary people who die after being sucked of blood by vampires will only become low-level dead apostles, or zombies, or ghouls. These are the things we saw in the alleys before. They have no self-awareness and can only act on the lowest level of instinct."

“Ah, that…”

After hearing Elquet's explanation, Qiu Ye nodded as if he suddenly understood something.

"And what about the Dead Apostles? They are usually given blood after being sucked by other Dead Apostles... To put it simply, it's like a big tree giving its seeds to another person, allowing its seeds to take root and sprout there. So the Dead Apostles attach great importance to bloodline, and the one who gives blood has absolute command over the one who is given it. In fact, among the twenty-seven ancestors, several used magic to transform themselves into vampires, and some were given blood after being sucked by the True Ancestors and became vampires."

"I see... Wait, this girl wasn't given blood by the Dead Apostles."

"That's right."

Seeing Qiu Ye discovering the blind spot, Elquet clapped his hands proudly.

"That's the problem. Generally speaking, the hunted will only be transformed into a ghoul, which is the lowest level of Dead Apostles. But she was able to regain her sanity in just a few hours... This is not something that all Dead Apostles can do. At least I haven't heard of anyone who can successfully upgrade from a ghoul to a Dead Apostle..."

"Now that you mention it, it's really a bit special."

After everyone finished discussing, they turned to look at May again. At this moment, May finally accepted the fact that she was dead. After listening to Elquet's story, her expression was very complicated. She didn't know what to say for a while. After a long while, she finally said this.

"Um...can I go home, please?"

"Go home... I can go back, but how do you explain this?"

"I, I just said I accidentally got lost..."

"No, no, no."

Seeing May looking like he was about to negotiate with the kidnapper, Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"That's not what I'm talking about. You heard what Elquet said. You are no longer a human being, but a Dead Apostle... or a vampire, you know? You have to drink blood every day and cannot see the sun. You will die if you see the sun... How are you going to explain your current situation to your parents? And what if you suddenly have a seizure and attack your family?"

"this……"

This time, Wu Yue was speechless. Indeed, if she just went home, it would be fine, but her current physical condition was extremely troublesome. She needed to drink blood and could not see the sun. Wu Yue was sure that even if she went home and told her parents about this, her parents might not believe her, but would directly take her to the hospital for a check-up. If she went to the hospital...

Oh my god, I hope I won’t be sliced ​​into pieces!

Thinking of this, May suddenly became timid. She believed that her family would not harm her, but sending her to the hospital was another matter!

"Forget it, let's think about these troublesome things later, let's do what we should do now."

"What should I do now?"

"That's right."

In response to May's question, Fang Zheng nodded, and then she looked at Elquet again.

"Arquette, you just said that the superior Dead Apostles have absolute control over their subordinates. So can the subordinates sense the location of their superior Dead Apostles?"

"Very likely."

At this moment, Elquet also knew what Fang Zheng wanted to do.

"But her situation is special. She wasn't given blood, so I can't be sure."

"It's okay, you'll know after you try it."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at May again.

"Little girl, do you want to find the vampire who killed you and take revenge? If you do, close your eyes now and sense if you feel anything special."

“…”

Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng meant, Wu Yue hesitated for a moment and closed her eyes obediently. Although she was a gentle and well-behaved girl, she was not so saintly that she would let go of the person who killed her.

After a long while, she opened her eyes and pointed out the window.

"I, I don't know if it counts, but I feel a very strange feeling over there."

"Let's go and take a look and you'll know."

Fang Zheng grabbed Wu Yue by the collar without saying a word. The next moment, with a scream, she jumped out of the window with Wu Yue.

Wu Yue was frightened at first, but after watching Fang Zheng flying through the air and running on walls, she came to her senses after a while... After all, she was a dead person now, so no matter how frightened she was, her heart would not beat faster.

"Okay, where to go next?"

"there!"

Under Wu Yue's guidance, Fang Zheng turned several directions and came to an old house that looked abandoned and uninhabited... Hmm? Isn't this Qiu Ye's house?

This vampire really knows how to find a place to hide!

Fang Zheng opened her personal terminal and scanned the place, and she actually found it - the blood that this guy drank seemed to have not been digested yet, so it could be seen through by infrared rays!

At this moment, he is in an underground secret room next to the Tono family mansion...that's what he found out from the radar.

According to the normal process, they should have entered the mansion to play Castle Terror by now, but Fang Zheng had a better solution.

Fang Zheng raised her right hand and summoned Frostmourne. Then she grabbed May and jumped high into the air. Then...

"Demacia!!"

"ah--!!"

Accompanied by Fang Zheng's roar and May's scream, the two of them landed heavily on the ground, broke through the obstacles, and rushed into the secret room hidden below.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”

The heavy ceiling broke apart, and Fang Zheng stood on the ground, raised the long sword in his hand, and looked forward. Only then did she realize that she was in a place similar to a dungeon, with iron bars and chains beside her. Not far in front of them, a man in a white shirt and messy hair was staring at them with wide eyes.

"Who are you?"

"I am the magical girl Red Ponytail of justice."

Fang Zheng waved the Frostmourne in his hand.

"You are the dead disciple named Roa, right? Did you kill this girl?"

"Girl?"

Perhaps it was because Fang Zheng's sudden appearance was too sudden that Luo A didn't react for a while. Hearing what Red Ponytail said, he subconsciously glanced at Wu Yue next to him, and seemed to have an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. I never thought that this prey is still alive... Hehe, but so what? Even the princess of the True Ancestor is no match for me. Do you think that a magician like you can pose any threat to me?"

As he spoke, Roa took out a small knife and opened his mouth with his long tongue hanging out.

"But it's okay this way. I need more blood. Your blood... is mine... Feel the death!"

While roaring, Roa's eyes suddenly widened, and Fang Zheng saw his eyes change from their original color to a strange, rotating black. However, the next moment... Roa's expression suddenly changed.

"You, who are you? Why? Why can't I see you die?!"

At this time, Luo A's expression was not as calm as before, because when he opened the Death Perception Mystic Eyes, he was surprised to find that there was no death line on the girl in front of him!

If there was something wrong with the magic eye, it would be understandable, but Roa could clearly see the death line on the prey next to the red ponytail girl, but there was no such line on the girl in front of him!

"Why? Why ..."

“Puff.”

However, before Roa could finish his words, Fang Zheng's body shook, and the next moment Frostmourne pierced through his body and nailed him to the wall.

"Okay, enough of the nonsense, you can go and die now... Don't worry, this time it's a permanent death."

"What do you mean? Wait, my soul, I..."

Hearing the words of the red ponytail girl, Luo A immediately felt that the situation was not good. Then, he was horrified to find that his soul was frozen!

This discovery was even more frightening to Roa than the moment he realized that he could not see the dead line of Red Ponytail. After all, the former was not completely impossible. Although the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were very powerful, the one Roa had obtained was not the complete form. But the latter was different. The reason why Roa was able to escape from Elquet's pursuit so many times was because of his ability to reincarnate his soul.

But now his soul was frozen!

"No, no...let me go...I can't die yet, I can't..."

"No."

However, facing Luoa's struggle, Fang Zheng just shook his head.

"You are already dead."

As Fang Zheng spoke, suddenly, a biting cold air instantly penetrated into Roa's body through Frostmourne. Then, the scorching First Fire erupted again, turning the frozen corpse into ashes in the blink of an eye.

Fang Zheng raised Frostmourne in his hand and looked at the blade. On the blade, a pure white soul wailed and struggled, but soon, it was pulled by an invisible force and sucked into the blade of Frostmourne, disappearing silently.

It seemed that he was really dead this time.
