The next morning, Shizuku called Hara Masako's house directly, and soon, Hara Masako's quiet and peaceful voice of Shana was heard from the other end.
"Hello, is this Miss Kasugano? Are you okay? I'm so glad..."
"Well, of course I'm fine. I have something to tell you..."
"In fact, we received a report last night that another victim had appeared. I was a little worried..."
“…”
"...Miss Kasugano?"
"Another one? Are you sure?"
"Well, just like the previous victims, all the blood in their bodies was sucked out. This time it happened at home, in just a few minutes... Exactly the same as before... By the way, Ms. Kasugano, you called me..."
"Oh, nothing, I just want to ask about the situation. Um... I have something to do so I'll hang up first."
Shizuku hung up the phone silently, then turned her head to look at Kagami no Kirie beside her, who was lying on the bed with red eyes, staring at her fiercely. Just like Xiao Baicai who was taken over by Huang Shiren in the old society, Qin Shi who was abandoned by Chen Shimei, Du Shiniang who was deceived by Li Jia...
"So...it wasn't you who did it?"
"I already told you...it wasn't me...!!"
Looking at the black-haired girl in front of her, Kagami no Kirizhi wanted to rush over and fight her to the death. But she had no strength at all, and her whole body was limp. If it were a TV series, Kagami no Kirizhi would be grabbing the quilt and glaring at the young master who insulted her innocence, while the young master sat at the head of the bed, smoking and dressing proudly...
Well, actually Shizuku did get up and get dressed.
"It's okay if you made a mistake. You were planning to attack me anyway."
"you……!!!"
Hearing this, Kaname Kirie wanted to stand up angrily, but the next moment her legs softened and she collapsed again. However, even so, Kaname Kirie still glared at Shizuku fiercely.
"etc!!"
"Anything else?"
Shizuku put on her clothes and turned to look at the Kaname no Mist Branch.
“You are responsible!!!”
"Responsible?"
"Yeah, you took away my chastity that I protected for three hundred years, and you want to just walk away like this? I won't let you go!!"
Staring at Shizuku, Kaname Kirie uttered words full of anger, like a curse from a vengeful spirit. After hearing Kaname Kirie's words, Shizuku narrowed her eyes, turned around and walked in front of Kaname Kirie again. Then she stretched out her finger, lifted the vampire girl's chin, and forced her to stare at her.
"You won't let me go? What are you going to do?"
"That's...that's..."
Looking at the blue eyes of Shizuku in front of her, Kagami no Kirie was speechless for a moment. Her cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were blurred. But she couldn't help but think of what happened last night. In her three hundred years of life, Kagami no Kirie had never experienced such an experience, being forcibly suppressed, being willfully manipulated, and being manipulated like a puppet. Whether crying, begging for mercy or threatening, it was useless.
But this gave her a strange feeling, the kind of humiliating joy that came from being completely suppressed and surrendered...
But how can I say this?
“Huff…”
Compared to Kagami no Kirie, Shizuku is a veteran - of course, she herself was born in this world for less than a year, but who can blame her operator for being so battle-hardened?
It's like playing a game. Once you've stalked through the levels, playing an artificial girl or something like that will become a piece of cake.
Staring at the Kaname Mist Branch in front of her, Shizuku knew what she was thinking without even using her mind-reading skills.
"Close your eyes."
Although Shizuku's voice was gentle, it carried an unquestionable command. Hearing Shizuku's command, Kagami Kirie hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and then obediently opened her cherry lips slightly. Shizuku lowered her head and leaned over, pressing her lips against Kagami Kirie's. Feeling the touch from Shizuku, Kagami Kirie instinctively began to cater to her - although this was her first time, after being tossed around all night, even if she didn't want to, her body would instinctively remember how to deal with this situation.
After a long time, the lips separated and a silver line emerged.
"Well... not bad."
Shizuku stuck out her tongue, licked the corner of her mouth gently, and nodded.
"Come with me."
When Kagami no Kirie appeared in front of Shizuku again, she had changed into her previous school uniform. Although her face was cold and she still looked like she was keeping people at a distance, she sat obediently opposite Shizuku, not moving.
Just like a cold and aloof maid, although she looks like she is keeping people at a distance, she will still obey her master's orders. She will do whatever her master tells her to do, pose whatever she wants her to pose, and lie down instead of lying on her stomach...
"Okay, tell me, what do you know about that vampire?"
Although Kaname Kirie is not a criminal, Shizuku is sure that she is definitely a local boss here. After all, it can be seen from this castle - unless this castle is like a certain vampire duck that can be teleported at will, Kaname Kirie must have stayed here for many years.
"…I don't think it's a vampire."
Although Kagami no Mist has become obedient, she is still not very well-behaved - well, unless she is a masochist, it is not easy to reach the "obedience" level so easily.
"Oh? Isn't it?"
Shizuku was slightly stunned when she heard Kaname no Kirie's answer, and Kaname no Kirie nodded.
"We vampires won't make such a big noise when we suck blood, and we won't suck all the blood out of people. I did hunt in school, but I only sucked a little blood. In order to avoid trouble, I also manipulated the other party's memory and made them forget everything. So in my opinion, this should not be done by a vampire."
"I see."
After hearing the answer from Kagami no Kirie, Shizuku nodded.
She knew a lot about vampires, but because there were so many of them, Shizuku was unsure about the situation of vampires in this world.
It's like Sophie never sucks human blood, saying that sucking blood directly from a person is too horrible, so she always puts the blood in a cup and heats it in the microwave - although from a medical point of view, all the substances in the blood will be destroyed in this way, but God knows which component of the blood vampires rely on to survive.
On the other hand, the vampires under Krul sucked blood from one person at a time until they died. And the dead apostles in the Type-Moon world would turn anyone they bit into a ghoul... There was too much information, so Shizuku couldn't make a judgment.
"So what do you think it is?"
"Maybe a native Japanese monster? I'm not very familiar with these."
Kagami no Kirie also shook her head. She was born in France and came to Japan only a hundred years ago. Vampires are creatures that live in isolation, and Kagami no Kirie is the same. Naturally, she would not want to have anything to do with Japanese monsters.
Strictly speaking, Kagami Kirie also hated the idiot who acted recklessly in her territory. In fact, it was because of the recent events in Kyoto that Kagami Kirie dared not suck blood, for fear that others would associate it with her. This forced Kagami Kirie to fall into a situation similar to "fasting to lose weight", and this is why Kagami Kirie was so easily hooked when Shizuku came to fish for law enforcement.
She is hungry too!!
But now, Kagami no Mist Branch is not hungry anymore. Well... it's not because she sucked blood, but because she was already full last night...
In the end, Shizuku decided to follow the old plan and go fishing... to lure the snake out of its hole.
Because according to Kagami no Kirie, Shizuku's blood has a special aroma. She doesn't know how other monsters react, but for vampires, this aroma is just like the best steak being grilled on the grill in front of you, and then the mouth-watering aroma bursts out, and your saliva starts to flow instantly.
If he doesn't drool, he must be anorexic, and he won't suck blood.
Soon, night fell.
The ancient capital itself was not very active at night, and the recent series of vampire incidents made people even more terrified. Now, after nightfall, most people basically stayed at home, feeling anxious. Only the police were still patrolling the streets, trying in vain to show their effectiveness - they were also very depressed.
As for Shizuku, she was walking around the nearby park with a map in hand. The other party really didn't have the sense of "rabbit eats grass near its nest". The positions of these victims were simply the result of radiating in all directions from a certain nest as the center point. However, after chatting with Hara Masago, Shizuku learned that this area was a residential area. If she wanted to find someone... it would be faster to use fishing enforcement.
"Um?"
Just as Shizuku turned the corner and came to the other side of the park, suddenly, a thick fog quietly emerged. This made Shizuku frown, and then looked to the side. At some point, the thick fog gradually enveloped the surrounding park. At the same time, it seemed that something was ready to move...
“Crash!!”
Just when Shizuku was diverting her attention, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the woods and pounced towards her!
Well done!
Seeing the shadow emerge, Shizuku's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile. Then she reached out and grabbed Frostmourne, waiting for the opponent to pounce on her and then slash at her...
“Swish!!”
However, at this moment, suddenly, a red flame fell from the sky, blocking the black shadow's path. The black shadow was shocked by this attack and turned around and ran away!
“…”
Seeing this scene, Shizuku was also stunned.
Holy shit, someone is stealing monsters?!
Where are you running!!
Thinking of this, Shizuku didn't even care who was trying to grab the monster from behind. She just picked up the big sword and chased after the black shadow.
Soon, Shizuku discovered that she was not the only one chasing the black shadow.
Not far away on the other side, someone was also chasing the black shadow, but fortunately, Shizuku was not fighting alone.
Just as the shadow passed through the woods, a melodious whistle sounded, and the next moment countless bats rushed over like a dark cloud, blocking the shadow's path. Then the bats regrouped and turned into a firewood mist branch wearing a black dress. Her eyes were red, and she stared at the shadow in front of her, gritting her teeth and looking like she wanted to tear the other person into pieces - after all, the other person was the culprit who caused her to fall into this situation.
"What a shame! I won't let you get away."
At the same time, Shizuku also appeared behind the black shadow holding Frostmourne and stared at him. At this moment, the black shadow's appearance has also been revealed in front of everyone. It looks like a person wrapped in a white cloak, but from the appearance of the body, it does not seem to be a human.
However, at this moment, an ethereal voice sounded.
"I'm so sorry, this is my prey."
Hearing the voice, Shizuku and Kagami no Kirie couldn't help but look up, and saw a girl quietly appearing in front of them not far away.
She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a white short skirt kimono, with bright red ribbons wrapped around her bare feet under her slender white legs. Her long brown hair was tied into a strange bun on the left side, and then braided and fell down. On her pretty and lovely face, a pair of golden eyes shone slightly in the moonlight.
And above the girl, a tall man covered in a blue cloak and wearing a white mask was following her like a shadow.
Looking at this girl, Shizuku was stunned.
Why is she here too?
