Mingren and Lenny both found it a little unbelievable.

Feng Ce's eyes showed a hint of understanding. No wonder the breath was so strange, with a faint fishy smell. But... he looked at Wen Qi, "Have you seen a vampire before?"

Wen Qi nodded, "Indeed, there was one contact. Vampires are evil creatures unique to Europe. Low-level vampires are afraid of light and fire, and can be killed with ordinary silver. High-level vampires simply hate sunlight and fire. Silver can cause damage to them, but only stabbing their hearts can kill them."

"Vampires look like humans, but can transform into a half-human, half-beast state, that is, a human body with bat wings." Wen Qi raised the phone in his hand, "There is a man named Cairo in Catherine's communication, and his profile picture is a bat in a blood moon. This man said he wanted to come to China with her, and asked her out last night, but she refused."

Mingren frowned and retorted, "Maybe he was just a simple object of admiration. Just a few simple conversations and profile pictures can't be used as evidence."

Wen Qi nodded, "It's just a guess, but I think it's very likely. After all, exotic beasts are very rare in our country. Even if there are any, they live in the deep mountains and forests. It's impossible for them to come to the city and attack someone who just came back from abroad." As she spoke, she summoned the secret book of metaphysics and released the Taotie.

Taotie must have gone crazy from being cooped up in there, so he started to run around happily as soon as he came out, running around the house several times before stopping. Without waiting for Wen Qi to say anything, he came to the window and sniffed, his eyes full of disgust.

Wen Qi laughed, "Why do you have that expression?"

Taotie immediately cried out, which probably meant: It smells like stinky dead meat and is not tasty.

Wen Qi's heart moved, "Is the smell very strong?"

Taotie nodded in disdain.

"Can it be tracked?"

Taotie took a step directly into the air, indicating that it was no problem, it could fly too!

Wen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's not what I meant..." Never mind, as long as she could keep up, she turned and walked out, "Let's go drive and follow Taotie."

When passing by Lenny, Wen Qi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "You come with us." If they were caught by surprise while tracking them, it would be a waste of time.

Mingren was driving, and Lenny habitually wanted to sit in the back seat.

At this moment, Feng Ce behind suddenly took a few quick steps and opened the car door like a gentleman.

Just as Lenny was about to thank her, Feng Ce raised his head, looked past her and called out with a gentle look, "Qiqi."

Lenny paused.

Wen Qi quickly walked past her and reminded her, "Get in the car quickly. The sooner you find Catherine, the greater your chances of survival." After that, she got in the car.

Feng Ce closed the car door, went around to the other side and got in.

Lenny calmed down for two seconds, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.

Mingren reminded: "Fasten your seat belts."

As soon as Lenny finished fastening his clothes, Mingren stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, scaring Lenny so much that he let out a series of screams and held the handle above the car door tightly with both hands.

Wen Qi was behind, sensing the direction of Taotie and giving navigation to Mingren.

The car quickly left the city center and headed west.

Feng Ce pondered the terrain of the western suburbs, and suddenly said, "There is an abandoned factory in the western suburbs."

Wen Qi's eyes flashed, "It's probably there."

Sure enough, Mingren drove the car all the way to the western suburbs and stopped in front of a dilapidated abandoned factory.

As soon as Wen Qi got off the car, Taotie ran over and tugged at her trouser legs, eager to go back to the Secret Book of Metaphysics. It was too smelly outside! If he smelled it again, he would vomit! Wen Qi took Taotie back with a smile, but stood outside the factory without going in. If she wanted to find someone, Mingren's little paper man would be the best choice.

After estimating the area of ​​the factory, Mingren released nearly a hundred paper figures in one breath, "Wait a moment."

Even though she had seen it once before, Lenny was still shocked by the sight of so many lively paper figures. She covered her chest and took a step back, "Oh my God..."

Wen Qi looked back at her and said, "Ms. Lenny, please follow us closely when we enter the factory and don't run around."

Lenny was very resistant, "Can't I wait outside?"

Wen Qi blinked, "You don't want to become a sitting duck, do you? You are the next target of the vampire."

Lenny looked pale, "No, I don't want to. Besides, I understand what a living target means."

"Oh, sorry." Wen Qi said halfheartedly, "I was overthinking it."

Mingren held back his laughter and manipulated the paper figure at the side.

Feng Ce pinched Wen Qi's fingers and whispered, "Naughty."

Wen Qi's eyes flashed with cunning, and he whispered: "I'll try it, who knows if she really doesn't understand."

At this moment, Mingren suddenly raised his head, curled his lips slightly and said, "Found it, the person is still alive." He walked into the factory, "Follow me."

Wen Qi looked back at Lenny and motioned for her to move forward. "To ensure your safety, you'd better walk among us."

Lenny quickly took two steps forward and thanked Wen Qi. He really didn't feel safe being alone at the back.

Wen Qi and Feng Ce were the last ones to come forward. The two of them held hands and walked as if they were taking a walk on the street. There was no sense of tension at all.

Wen Qi looked at the little paper figures that Mingren collected as he walked by, and was a little tempted, "It seems like it would be nice to have some little pets, they're quite cute."

"Paper puppetry." Feng Ce said, "Don't you know it too?"

Wen Qi sighed, "But I'm too lazy to cut paper. It would be great if there was paper that wouldn't be damaged by fire or water." That way, I only have to cut it once and everything will be fine.

Feng Ce thought for two seconds and said, "You have it."

Speaking of this, Wen Qi was a little worried, "Maybe I tore too many pages before, and the Metaphysics Secret Book won't let me tear them anymore."

Feng Ce frowned, "Apart from your secret book of metaphysics, the only paper that meets your requirements is the Book of Life and Death. When we get back..."

Wen Qi was startled and raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Quickly get rid of the thought in your head! What a terrible idea! That is the Book of Life and Death, which is fundamentally different from the Book of Metaphysics!"

Feng Ce pulled her hand down and smiled, "I know. I meant to help you look for it when we get back. I didn't mean to take the Book of Life and Death. It's one of the foundations of the underworld. I won't be so careless."

Wen Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to become the Daji who brought disaster to the country.

They went around to the back of the factory and entered through another small door before they ended the topic.

It was very quiet inside the factory, and also very dark, with almost no light at all.

People are instinctively afraid of the dark. Those who are a little timid can't help but feel scared even when it's pitch black at home, let alone now that they are in a strange factory where vampires are lurking.

Lenny only took two steps before she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to make a sound and could only stand there stiffly.

Wen Qi sighed, let go of Feng Ce's hand, walked forward, first called Lenny's name softly, then tentatively held her arm, "Don't be afraid, you can hold my hand."

Lenny seemed to have found a life-saving straw and hugged her waist with his arms.

Feng Ce, who was walking behind, saw it clearly and immediately pursed his lips in displeasure.

Wen Qi was also a little helpless, "Okay, can we continue walking now?"

Lenny said nothing, just nodded.

Mingren continued to lead the way. No one took Lenny's fear seriously, thinking it was just a normal reaction of ordinary people.

"We have to go up the stairs. Be careful where you step." Mingren led them upstairs.

After walking less than three floors, Wen Qi's body began to stiffen.

Although it was pitch black around him, Wen Qi could see everything clearly, especially the stairs under his feet, which were all hollow! They were made of metal strips welded together. When he looked down, he could see that they reached the ground!

Wen Qi was complaining in his heart, who the hell designed this thing? It's so inhumane!

"Found it." A joyful voice came.

Wen Qi looked up. From her angle, she could only see Mingren squatting down from behind. Catherine should be lying on the ground. She subconsciously raised her foot to go over and take a look, but at that moment, a strong force came from the side and pushed her out!

The force of the push was so strong that Wen Qi flew sideways. The moment she was suspended in the air, her mind went blank.

Before she could react, a gust of wind blew by, and Wen Qi felt her clothes tighten, as if someone had grabbed her. She just breathed a sigh of relief and found that she was moving away from the stairs just now.

The three people who were still there were surrounded by a swarm of bats that appeared out of nowhere. (End of this chapter)
