Chapter 98 The Bloody Bride
"I know Dracula is very vigilant. With your ability, it may be difficult to assassinate him successfully."
"Find a way to get this pill into Dracula's food. Once he falls into a deep sleep, your chances of assassinating him will be much higher."
Vlad whispered, "If you want your companions to stay alive, you'd better do as I say."
Zhen Jinli took the pill and said nothing, then quickly turned around and left.
Vlad didn't look back at her, but looked at the night sky and stars outside the terrace, with a satisfied smile on his face.
***
Zhen Jinli first called Dracula to accompany her to the basement and checked the situation in the city lord's manor through the magic crystal ball.
After making sure that most players had completed the game safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, now all she had to do was assassinate Vlad and leave the game.
Because once Vlad is killed, she will disappear on the spot. In order to prevent Dracula from being too sad because of her departure, Zhen Jinli prepares to give Dracula a preventive shot first.
After all, he helped her. As a temporary NPC partner, she still had to tell him if she wanted to leave.
"I'm sorry, Dracula, I may not be able to complete the wedding with you."
Zhen Jinli first apologized to him, and then made a promise to him.
"But don't worry, I will help you remove the biggest obstacle before I leave. From now on, no one in this world will be able to threaten your position."
Sensing that Zhen Jinli might be about to do something dangerous, Dracula quickly grabbed Zhen Jinli's wrist and asked anxiously.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhen Jinli gently patted the back of Dracula's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As she said this, she was about to pull Dracula's hand away.
However, Dracula held her hand tightly, and Zhen Jinli tried several times but failed to pull his hand away.
Zhen Jinli had no choice but to continue to persuade him: "I really will be fine. I have a trump card to save my life. Trust me, okay? Dracula."
"It's Vlad, right?"
Dracula seemed to remember something and asked suddenly.
"Did he threaten you that he would kill me before he would let you go?"
Zhen Jinli quickly explained, "No, my companions have already fled the City Lord's Manor. I wanted to assassinate Vlad to help you and myself."
She didn't know how to explain the game to Dracula, and Zhen Jinli was a little hesitant and conflicted for a moment.
Forget it, the keywords will be blocked if I say it anyway, so I might as well not say it and just get started.
Zhen Jinli was about to turn around and leave when she was suddenly embraced by Dracula.
He placed his palm on the back of her head and patted it gently, comforting her in a firm yet gentle tone.
"I won't let you take that risk."
After saying that, Dracula let her go and disappeared from the room the next second.
Zhen Jinli was stunned. She didn't expect Dracula to have such a big reaction.
Wasn't she more than just a partner to him, working together to fight the enemy?
She just looks similar to Naxue, but she is not the real Naxue. Why should he be so nervous and concerned about her?
Zhen Jinli hurried out of the room and searched the world for Dracula and Vlad.
"Have you seen Count Dracula?" Zhen Jinli asked, pulling one of the servants.
The servant shook his head. Zhen Jinli asked other vampires but still couldn't find Dracula.
Not to mention Dracula, even Vlad is missing.
Just then, there was a series of ping-pong sounds and the sound of the floor shaking from upstairs.
Did Dracula go to settle the score with Vlad?
Zhen Jinli ran upstairs anxiously, estimating when to use the time-stop skill.
Each time the skill is activated, she only has sixty seconds. Originally, she planned to say goodbye to Dracula, find Vlad, and then activate this skill.
But now
Zhen Jinli watched Vlad and Dracula fighting on the second floor and shouted anxiously.
"Dracula, come back soon!"
She had to separate them quickly!
Zhen Jinli looked at them anxiously from the side. When Vlad saw her coming, he pretended to attack her. Zhen Jinli quickly summoned a protective barrier.
"Protect!"
Dracula sensed Vlad's intention and stood in front of Zhen Jinli.
"Dracula!"
Zhen Jinli quickly hugged Dracula's body and pulled him into the protective barrier.
When my palm touched his abdomen, I felt a cold and slippery feeling on my hand.
Is Dracula injured?
Due to the protective barrier, Vlad was unable to attack them for a while and could only choose to withdraw and retreat.
After Vlad stood still, he looked down at the wound on his chest, then looked at Dracula with cold eyes and said with gritted teeth.
"Dracula, what's wrong with you?"
Zhen Jinli didn't care about so many things at this time. She took out the healing potion from the space and wanted to use it on Dracula's wound.
However, the healing potion that was supposed to work quickly now had no effect at all.
Zhen Jinli was a little panicked. What was going on?
Do healing potions not work on NPCs?
Dracula held Zhen Jinli's hand as she applied medicine to him, shook his head, and said softly.
"It's okay, it will be fine in a while."
Zhen Jinli then remembered that vampires have strong self-healing abilities. As long as the injury is not fatal, they can heal themselves in no time.
She let go of Dracula and immediately activated the time-stopping skill.
There was no time to wait, she had to kill Vlad now.
Zhen Jinli tightly grasped the silver dagger that Vlad had given them that day and stabbed it hard towards his heart.
However, with a clang, the dagger in her hand was bounced away by an unknown force.
What's going on?
Zhen Jinli looked at the flying dagger in surprise. Could it be that the silver dagger couldn't kill Vlad?
She didn't believe it, so she gritted her teeth and took out the silver dagger that Jiuyi had given her from the space, and stabbed it hard at Vlad's heart.
With a "whoosh", this time the dagger successfully penetrated Vlad's heart.
She succeeded.
The daggers that Vlad gave them might have been cast with some magic that could kill other vampires, but not Vlad.
After all, if Vlad was killed by the silver dagger he himself had sent, wouldn't he have become a huge joke?
A blue data light gradually rose around Zhen Jinli, and she knew that she was about to leave the game.
She looked back at Dracula one last time and sighed.
"Goodbye, Dracula."
Her figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared in the game copy.
When Dracula came to his senses, he only saw a silver dagger stuck in Vlad's chest, and Zhen Jinli had disappeared.
"Ginny?"
