After listening to Pan Pei recount a long series of glorious stories from his youth, Su Miaomiao pulled out a silver nail.
She secretly took this out of the box when her third uncle wasn't looking.
Have you ever seen this before?
“Master Miaomiao, where did you get this? This is no ordinary thing. Look at the patterns engraved on it, which means it once killed a vampire and was then regarded as a sacred object by those Western families.”
Pan Pei had only seen this thing once before when he was with his master, but what he saw was not a carved flower, but the eye of an eagle.
"A sacred object? Isn't this a murder weapon? Don't they find it unlucky to treat it as a sacred object?"
Ning Tianwei was stunned, finding it hard to understand those people's thoughts.
"In their view, silver nails can kill demons, so they are sacred objects. For a long time, these families were proud to own a silver nail that had been engraved on it and regarded it as a symbol of their family's strength, and it seems that they still are now."
Su Miaomiao thought about the number of nails in the box; there were seven in total. According to Master Pan, the Caxton family was indeed very powerful.
But why would they give her these silver nails now? She couldn't understand.
"Master Pan, from what you're saying, this thing is very valuable, isn't it?"
"If it were ordinary silver, it wouldn't be worth much by weight, but this one looks quite old, so it's very valuable as an antique."
“That’s good! We’ll sell it and donate the money directly to the orphanage. Besides this one, there are six other ones, but they’re with my third uncle. I’ll get them from him later.”
Although she now donates a fixed amount of money to her former orphanage every month, there are many orphanages in the world, and this money should certainly be converted into something more meaningful.
"Okay! It's best to buy this from someone who wants to collect it. I'll ask around in my WeChat Moments."
Pan Pei agreed without hesitation.
After leaving her things with him, Su Miaomiao returned to her third uncle's villa.
As soon as I entered, I heard Uncle Qi playing video games.
"Seventh Uncle, aren't you afraid Third Uncle will come back and scold you?"
"He went out with Fifth Brother, I don't know when they'll be back. By the way, Miaomiao, when are you planning to go back to Anshi?"
Su Haoran was bored here and wanted to go back a long time ago.
"I want to go back right now!"
Su Miaomiao said impatiently that if she stayed here any longer, she would grow mushrooms on her body. Moreover, she had bought all the snacks in the convenience store, forcing the owner to start stocking new products.
"You actually dare to think about something so unrealistic?"
Su Haoran raised his hand to flick Su Miaomiao's forehead, but before he could touch her, his phone rang.
"Brother Haoran, I'm going back to China tomorrow. Can you pick me up at the airport?"
A woman's voice came from the phone, and Su Miaomiao heard it too. Her gossipy nature immediately made her perk up her ears.
Who is it? The voice sounds quite sweet!
"I can't answer, I'm not in Anshi."
Su Haoran remained expressionless; he wasn't lying.
"I'm landing in Beijing, aren't you going to come pick me up?"
Su Miaomiao, standing to the side, frantically nudged Uncle Qi, urging him to agree and take her with him so they could get out of the Gobi Desert.
"Okay! What time is your flight?"
Su Haoran agreed, and Su Miaomiao next to him beamed with joy, taking out her phone to send a group message to "Long Live the Emperor".
The young woman with ten-pack abs said, "We think we should head back now," and laughed heartily with her hands on her hips.
Jingchen: "Really? My sister is finally coming back."
Photographer Niu Dali: "Really? Is Teacher Xiao Su kidding us? If we can really go back, I'll treat you to hot pot."
Ling Hangyi: "It's unlikely. I saw Uncle Su getting angry with someone!"
The young woman with ten-pack abs asked, "With whom?"
Ling Hangyi: "I don't know him! But judging from his lip movements, that person said he wanted to ask you for help with something, but your third uncle disagreed."
Is that so?
Su Miaomiao immediately messaged Ling Hangyi privately, asked about Su Yanzhong's location, and then sent Mei Nu over to get the news.
Not long after, the enchantress flew back in a carefree manner.
"That man came looking for you, asking you to go to the mental hospital to treat people. He said many of his brothers had gone crazy, and he was crying his eyes out. It was really pitiful to see them like that."
The door opened just as the enchantress finished speaking.
Uncle Su brought over a middle-aged man. The man had a serious face, a hint of anxiety between his brows, and his eyes were red and swollen, indicating that he had indeed been crying.
"This must be Miss Su Miaomiao! Hello, I am Luo Shiming."
Luo Shiming began speaking before Su Yanzhong could introduce him.
Su Miaomiao realized that this person was really after her, so she nodded.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's like this, I've seen some records about Xi Boyu and know that you are a highly skilled person, so I'd like to ask you for a favor."
As Luo Shiming spoke, he took out his phone, pulled up a video, and showed it to Su Miaomiao.
"Please take a look first."
Su Miaomiao took the phone, pretending not to see her third uncle's hesitant words, and clicked play.
The video shows a snow-white room with a metal bunk bed inside, and a person is tied to the bed.
However, the man's face was pale and he looked completely bloodless.
Are you sick? Or do you have insufficient Qi and blood?
As Su Miaomiao was thinking, she saw the person on the hospital bed suddenly open their eyes, grimacing and struggling, making incessant "hohoho" noises.
The most amazing thing is that this person has four long fangs in his mouth.
This looks so familiar!
Isn't it just vampires? She just got back from Pan Pei giving her a basic lesson.
"What's wrong with this person? Is she tied up because she has bipolar disorder?"
Su Miaomiao pretended not to recognize her and asked directly.
“At first we thought she had a mental illness, so we sent her to a mental hospital, but after she arrived at the hospital she bit a lot of people, so in the end we had to tie her up.”
Luo Shiming recounted what he knew.
"What about the people who were bitten?" Su Miaomiao suddenly asked.
"Some of them were caught and brought back, while others escaped and disappeared. The doctor said it's an infectious disease that spreads through saliva. Once bitten, the virus multiplies rapidly in a short time, making the infected person bloodthirsty and ferocious."
Luo Shiming hadn't expected things to get so serious, and his team had suffered heavy losses. If he hadn't heard about Fang Boyu's situation from within the organization, he wouldn't have known what to do.
Those infected were completely immune to firearms and moved with extreme agility.
Su Miaomiao put down her phone, stared intently at Luo Shiming, and after a long while, suddenly said:
"Uncle Luo, you were brought here by my third uncle, so you should trust me. Can you tell me everything you know?"
