Chapter 624 Bait



Geng Xiaoliang didn't understand what Zhou Xi meant and was looking around for the "bait" he had in mind. After this case occurred, the public security department conducted several investigations and finally determined that the "murderer" was probably not a human, but a "monster" with a desire to suck blood.

Honestly, the moment this theory was proposed, it caused a huge uproar within the Ministry of Public Security. Some leaders felt that this approach to handling the case was irresponsible to the people, while others felt the conclusion made sense. Otherwise, how could a living person be left without even a trace? After two days of standoff, the two sides couldn't reach a conclusion. They had no choice but to report the case to their superiors.

The elites under the Ministry of Public Security can capture vicious criminals, but they are helpless against demons and monsters. The top leader then remembered the special operations team led by Zhou Xi.

In order to lure out the monster, the two sides decided to find a "bait." Since two of the victims were young girls, they decided to use a girl in her twenties as the bait.

Zhou Xi took notice of Zhou Yuanyuan because she was of the right age and had extraordinary abilities.

"Deputy Captain Zhou, Deputy Captain Zhou, a special smell was detected on the third floor of the Medical Technology Building. Report completed." At this time, Zhou Cheng's voice came from Zhou Xi's headset, easing Zhou Xi's embarrassment.

Although the sound in the headset was low, Zhou Yuanyuan could still hear it clearly with her hearing ability.

After Zhou Xi changed his identity and joined the special operations team, he had already impressed the young men with his prowess and regained his position as deputy captain. While a Qi training level one might seem like a small fry to a cultivator, it was a powerful psychic to an ordinary person. Furthermore, Zhou Xi's body had been forged to the point of being invulnerable. Therefore, no one in the special operations team could rival him.

Today's operation is led by Zhou Xi.

"Got it, we'll be right there." Zhou Xi replied, then turned to Zhou Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, I'll need your help to lure that 'thing' out later. Is that okay?"

"What? Zhou Yuanyuan is today's 'bait'? No, no, we can't do this. How could such a fragile little girl do something so dangerous? Captain Zhou, I'll go!" Geng Xiaoliang almost shook his head after hearing Zhou Xi's words. Geng Xiaoliang thought Zhou Yuanyuan was visiting a patient at Renhe Hospital, but he didn't expect her to be the "person going to die" that the public security team had joked about two hours ago.

This young man has a really good heart. Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little emotional.

Although Zhou Yuanyuan didn't need Geng Xiaoliang's sympathy, this incident showed that Geng Xiaoliang was a good person. He would rather face danger himself than put it on others.

"Zhou Yuanyuan, seriously, this is not fun. Be obedient and go back!" Geng Xiaoliang saw Zhou Yuanyuan smiling and saying nothing, and thought that the little girl was brave and wanted to find something exciting to play, so he hurriedly persuaded her.

"Thank you, Public Security Geng." Zhou Yuanyuan smiled at Geng Xiaoliang and followed Zhou Xi into the hospital.

Geng Xiaoliang was dazzled by Zhou Yuanyuan's smile. When he came to his senses, he found that Zhou Xi and Zhou Yuanyuan had walked more than ten meters away from each other.

Geng Xiaoliang quickly followed. Their captain's order was to protect the "bait." Actually, Geng Xiaoliang didn't know how to do it; he just thought: just follow Zhou Xi and Zhou Yuanyuan.

Although Geng Xiaoliang felt scared when he thought of the unknown "monster", the fact that a girl like Zhou Yuanyuan was willing to come and help aroused Geng Xiaoliang's fighting spirit: If he couldn't even protect his beloved girl tonight, he would be a police officer in vain.

Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know what Geng Xiaoliang was thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. At this moment, she was listening to Zhou Xi softly analyzing the case. During the day, because Zhou Yuanyuan was in a hurry to go out, there were still many things Zhou Xi didn't tell her.

Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but frown when she heard Zhou Xi say that every time there was a crime scene, there was a smell of decay besides the dried corpses.

Xiaoyu's records show that among the creatures that suck blood, there are "zombies" of this species. However, these "zombies" that can run out to suck blood can cause widespread disasters upon their appearance, preventing all living creatures within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles from escaping. They don't just target one person. Zhou Xi's description reminded Zhou Yuanyuan of Western "vampires."

Xiaoyu didn't remember the existence of "vampires". Perhaps it was because of the underdeveloped transportation in the past, but Western "vampires" never appeared in the East.

As they were talking, Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Xi had already arrived at the first floor of the Medical Technology Building. Zhou Cheng came up to them and said softly, "Room 304 on the third floor."

Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know whether her "Fiery Sun Technique" would be useful against vampires. Before going upstairs, she asked Zhou Xi and the others to each wear a jade talisman for peace. These talismans were made by Zhou Yuanyuan when she was in Hong Kong Island. The jade was provided by Yu Xiaohan, a large piece of white jade. After Zhou Yuanyuan made two square jade pendants for Yu Xiaohan, there were still quite a few left, so she simply carved one for each person in the family. Zhou Yuanyuan had a lot of things to do recently, and she hadn't had time to give them out!

Zhou Yuanyuan guessed correctly, Yu Mingtao was a vampire, also known as a "blood clan".

Yu Mingtao's ancestral home is from Province F in China, and his family has little wealth. Starting with his grandfather's generation, the Yu family immigrated to the Philippines, and through two generations of hard work, they became a well-known and wealthy businessman in the country.

At first, Yu Mingtao was just an ordinary person, but he was gifted and excelled in academics. The Yu family was determined to cultivate him and sent him to study medicine in Country Y.

While studying in Country Y, Yu Mingtao and several classmates went on an outing and stumbled into an ancient castle. The castle's owner, Countess Isabelle, was a veteran "vampire" who fell in love with the elegant and handsome Yu Mingtao.

Thanks to Countess Isabelle's "First Embrace," Yu Mingtao became a vampire. Initially, upon learning he had become a vampire, Yu Mingtao resisted. He attempted suicide by slitting his wrists with shards from a broken cup, only to discover that no matter how severe his wounds were, they healed quickly. Furthermore, at night, Yu Mingtao gained the ability to transform. Whenever he wished, he could transform into a black bat and soar through the dark night sky.

Isabel told Yu Mingtao that she was an "Ancient," commonly known as a "third-generation vampire." After being "embraced" by her, the vampires not only possessed "immortality," but also some unknown superpowers.
