Zhong Yi had three demands: first, never become a corrupt vampire; second, help humanity win the next great war; and third, take revenge on Locke and Ariel.
At first glance, the task seems fine, but since it's already been proposed, wouldn't it be better to just propose eliminating the vampires? 001 was a bit confused.
The disappearance of vampires won't disrupt the ecological balance.
...
With his meager cultivation level, Emperor Xiu began to meticulously repair his body.
001 helped him get ten days off from school and the Blood Hunter Alliance in one go, but she had no intention of telling Ariel.
Locke, on the other hand, received a call early the next morning from Layton, who was trapped in the alley, and learned that Zhong Yi had killed the Blood Servant they had sent and escaped. He was furious.
When he arrived at school, he subtly inquired with Ariel, who then learned that her childhood friend and neighbor had not come to class.
Accompanied by Locke, Ariel went to ask Zhong Yi's homeroom teacher and then to ask the Blood Hunter teacher she had met a few times. She was very convinced that something must have happened to him because "every time Brother Zhong takes more than a day off, he always tells me to go back before dark, but this time he took ten days off and didn't tell me at all."
"Honestly, doesn't he know I'm worried about him? I have to hear about him from other people. Karin and the others were laughing at me just now."
A dark glint flashed in Locke's eyes. He put his arm around her shoulder, letting her, who looked so wronged and helpless at that moment, lean against his chest, and whispered, "Maybe he was injured and needs time to recover. Ariel, where do you think he might go?"
Layton is his most useful descendant, and he was exposed to the Blood Hunter last night. If he really escapes and says something he shouldn't have, it will cause a little trouble for both him and Layton.
He dislikes these minor troubles that are out of his control, so Zhong Yi, you'd better just obediently rot in some corner.
Ariel didn't seem to find anything wrong with the posture. She reached out and grabbed Locke's collar, saying resentfully, "How badly injured must he have been to forget about me? He was able to take leave, why didn't he tell me? Did he have to make me worry about him?"
"You two grew up together, do you have any secret bases?" Locke asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Ariel thought for a moment, shook her head, pouted, and complained, "I used to have a secret base, it was so beautiful, and I even invited him to play with it, but he ruined it."
Only because the only person in the know was not there could she be allowed to spout nonsense.
If she hadn't been so cerebellar, tripping and hitting her head on flat ground, which attracted the attention of a vampire who happened to be passing by, would Zhong Yi have ended up fighting with the vampire, destroying her secret base, and nearly dying himself?
However, these two truly deserve to be called the official couple; with their ability to blatantly lie, they really deserve to be locked together.
Locke pressed for a few more questions, but Ariel seemed completely oblivious to his intentions, racking her brains to give him a look that was both innocent and foolish.
During the first ten days of Di Xiu's leave, Locke became extremely jealous and accidentally let slip the truth to Ariel. After Ariel learned the truth, she had a big fight with him and threatened to tell the Blood Hunter Alliance. Well, it turned into a prisoner play.
This time, however, the only person she was being threatened with was her aunt.
Locke clearly treats the people she likes and their relatives differently. Her aunt did not suffer the same treatment as Zhong Yi; not a single hair on her head was harmed. She was only anxious about her niece's disappearance and reported it to the police, but to no avail.
In this world setting, perhaps because of the focus on the conflict between vampires and vampire hunters, and the emphasis on metaphysics, although technology is developing, it is greatly suppressed. Cell phones are still the old flip phones, with functions limited to making calls and sending text messages. Surveillance is not widespread, and finding people is difficult.
Ten days passed, and seeing that Emperor Xiu still showed no signs of waking up, 001 took another ten days off and continued to outwit and outmaneuver the main system.
He couldn't help but feel that the task allocation had been tampered with; otherwise, how could his task recipients have drawn twice, and both times they had such a hellish start?
But compared to these smaller systems with their own learning programs, the main system only follows the program. 001 was furious with its three consecutive "rejection", "warning" and "prohibition" but was helpless.
"Wait, when I get back, I'll file a complaint against you with the tribunal for bullying our mission members, hmph."
...
The Blood Hunters sensed something was wrong and called to inquire after receiving "Zhong Yi's" second leave request.
001 stared at the non-touchscreen phone for a couple of seconds, then connected the signal to his simulated phone and successfully made a call. He imitated Zhong Yi's voice and rambled on for a bit, saying that he had gained some insights during the battle with the vampires and was facing a breakthrough.
Although the result was correct.
The Zhong family ancestors came from the Dragon Kingdom of the Eastern Continent and possessed a magical family secret technique. Many people in the Blood Hunter organization knew about it and some had even tried to take it, but for some reason, only members of the Zhong family could practice it. So even though only Zhong Yi was left in the Zhong family, no one took the opportunity to steal it.
They had only a superficial understanding of the Zhong family's unique skills, but those with some experience had witnessed the abilities of the previous generation of the Zhong family. They said "sorry to bother you" and hung up the phone.
After 43 days, Di Xiu finally repaired the body, and the meridians that had been blocked and atrophied due to injury were also reopened.
However, he has also become smelly.
There was the stench of blood, the stench of impurities expelled during the "marrow cleansing and bone-setting" treatment, and the sour smell of sweat from the pain. After nearly a month and a half, they had all fermented together.
One sniff is refreshing and invigorating; two sniffs will send you to bliss.
