Chapter 49: Minions of the Shadow "Count Heloise, the one ahead is...
"Count Heloise, the Hunter Association's headquarters is just ahead." A small viscount said eagerly.
However, Heloise had no intention of storming into the Hunter Association as planned.
She sneered and asked, "No Gao Lie?"
This is what the high-ranking vampire said to her before the mission, but now——
Heloise raised her eyes to the sky.
The drizzle falls silently.
A bunch of despicable low-level species, they can't even tell that this is the field of supernatural powers!
Heloise turned around and was about to leave. Even the mission information was wrong. Who knows if there is another Gao Lie here.
If there was only one, she could try to fight him, but if there were two, she could consider how she would die. She didn't dare to gamble on the conscience of the high-level vampires who didn't exist.
Because there was no high hunter in District 9, she was only sent as an earl.
And now, the Earl has quit.
The Viscount hurriedly stopped her: "My Lord Earl—No, if you leave now, you'll be held accountable by the higher-ups!"
If they are held accountable, then they will be held accountable. Anyway, nothing can be done to the Earl. As for the other low-level vampires?
If he died, he died. What did it have to do with Heloise?
Just then, a carrier pigeon flew in from the rain.
It seemed that he knew about Gao Lie's urgent return, and the answer he gave was unexpectedly clear.
Duke Marta and Marquis Rhett are already on their way. This time, we must take District 9 in one fell swoop.
Heloise was finally not so angry anymore.
Although she was not a member of the Mata faction, neither of them was a very difficult type. At least tonight, she could just stay back instead of going up to fight Gao Lie.
Although theoretically most of the high hunters were at the same level of strength as the earl, Heloise really didn't want to face the high hunters.
So far, Gao Lie's winning rate against the Earl is still 80%. It can be said that there are very few Earls who can defeat him.
The reason was simple: that group of high hunters fought too hard, and they fought to the death with the thought that dying together would be the best outcome.
Gao Lie is not afraid of death, but the Earl still wants to continue enjoying life.
Heloise turned back again, and it seemed that she had no intention of abandoning them in the short term.
Although the Viscount didn't know what was in the letter, he was still sincerely relieved.
The Earl doesn't want to die, so the Viscount wants to die?
Heloise said, "We'll go in when the Duke arrives."
The dim street lights illuminated the earl's outline, and his blurry shadow fell to the ground. Even the wind and rain could not move the shadow at all.
Then, the shadow came to life.
It crawled on the ground, extending its black tentacles in all directions.
The shadow opened its claws and silently enveloped the nearby residential area.
Rather than having superpowers, it is more like a dog raised by the count.
This dog will eat people.

The repairman's face changed. He had just cleaned up a vampire in the hotel and before he had time to catch his breath, he immediately set off again.
This time she left in a hurry, got on her motorcycle and left, leaving her sleepy partner driving tiredly behind her.
The partner wanted to yawn. It was obviously the repairman who felt sleepy first, but now he was the only one who wanted to sleep.
His partner's yawn was interrupted by a gust of wind, and his mouth was filled with wind and rain. He honestly gave up the idea and shouted instead, "What happened?!"
"The Count has appeared."
The partner's sleepy look immediately disappeared and he became a little nervous, but he was more excited than nervous.
"where?"
“The association’s attached residential area.”
Very good, my partner still remembers the terrain there, which is quite open.
Moreover, although most of the people in the attached residential area are the hunters' families, the families also follow the hunters for morning jogging and boxing exercises every day, and their fighting ability is much higher than that of ordinary people.
And I'm not afraid that they will cause trouble after being woken up.
The partner held the handle of the motorcycle with one hand and used the other hand to take out the phone.
As for how many traffic safety laws were violated by this series of actions... the situation is urgent and we can't consider these.
He made a phone call: "Auntie - a count is heading to the family quarters, be careful!"
It was already very noisy over there, but it seemed even noisier over there on his aunt's side.
My aunt managed to respond amidst the clamor, "Everyone knows! Let him come!"
The partner was horrified: "Don't go out! It's too dangerous outside. Just be careful and take care of each other! Don't think about killing those vampires."
"He's an earl, on the same level as a repairman!"
My aunt's background noise is still noisy.
"Count? I know! My daughter was killed by a count!"
"That's not a bad thing! Didn't your daughter die with the Count? I think we can do the same—"
The partner was horrified. If he had known that these people would get together so late at night instead of sleeping, he should not have said that.
Now the whole group was excited, and the sound of silver knocking could be heard.
The mechanic in front sighed, then also performed a dangerous driving maneuver.
She took out her cell phone and made a call.
"Tell them to stop making trouble. They think they are young and strong in their twenties and thirties. It's hard to kill even ordinary vampires, let alone the Count."
"I've already notified the other hunters, and they're all heading over there. The family members will be helping by guarding the door."
"Okay, I'll go tell them now. You don't know—the whole family building is in an uproar right now."
The repairman didn't have time to listen to the person on the other end chattering, so he raised his hand to hang up the phone.
The partner checked his phone.
After a while, probably because the notice had been passed down, the people in the room finally quieted down a bit. They stopped shouting things like "kill vampires" and started muttering "Why don't you let me kill vampires?" instead.
My partner said goodbye to my aunt and quickly hung up.
I can understand their feelings, but I cannot agree with their behavior. If something happens to these family members, so many hunters will be sad.
Besides, there are guards there, and many children are reserve hunters, so it is definitely not the turn of the elderly and frail family members to help.

Bai Li opened the book and began to recharge herself.
I borrowed a book from the library. It was an essay by a big shot. The content was very fragmented, but it was also very good to read as bedtime reading.
She turned a page.
[Gao Lie's loss rate has remained high.]
Although we often say that at the same power level, hunters are more likely to defeat vampires, in reality, this winning rate is entirely due to blood.
[As long as you encounter a vampire at the Count level, the mortality rate is over 50%.]
[To this day, no high hunter has ever met a good end. Of course, even ordinary hunters rarely die of natural causes.]
[Mutual destruction is the ultimate outcome for most high-level hunters.]
Bai Li touched his heart.
I felt like my heart suddenly beat very fast.

"You didn't assign Fei any tasks?"
"No, I don't think she's in a very good condition. Besides, she hasn't..." Rhett made a look.
After all, Fei has not officially become one of them. Who knows whether she prefers humans or vampires in her heart?
Marta nodded.
Although they were going to Area 9, they had no intention of setting off with the main force. Rhett's special ability was spatial movement, so he could set off whenever he wanted.
The most important thing is that it is easy to be exposed if you go there too early. After all, it is difficult to explain why you go there but don't attack the hunters.
"Has the repairman gone back?"
"As long as the letter reaches them, they will definitely return."
*
The repairman had already seen the gate to the family quarters.
The experienced hunter who had dealt with vampires for more than ten years sniffed, and the rain hit the ground, splashing dust.
The smell of earth could not cover up the stench of vampires, which was much worse than the smell of the sewer.
She laughed coldly.
The motorcycle was driving at high speed without even stopping, and I don't know how many puddles it ran over along the way.
The partner thought, fortunately there were not many people on the street, otherwise he would have received countless complaints.
Brake suddenly.
The repairman stopped in front of the gate.
She had already seen the ferocious shadow.
