"What did you say?" the housekeeper asked, tilting her head slightly.
"It's nothing." Li Changzhou stepped out of the coffin.
There's really nothing wrong with it, because a simple system notification wouldn't let Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia know his exact location.
"Am I the only one going to protect the inventor king?" he changed the subject.
“Edison is someone His Highness values, so you’d better be polite to him.” The housekeeper took out a box that looked like it contained a ring. “This is for you from His Highness.”
Li Changzhou took it, opened it, and found that what was inside was indeed a ring.
It is entirely black with a ring of blood-red patterns.
【Name: Vampire Ring】
[Type: Item]
Quality: D
[Special Effect: When worn, the vampire can move freely during the daytime when the sunlight is not strong, such as in the early morning, evening, foggy days, rainy days, and cloudy days.]
Minimum requirement for use: Vampire
[Description: This work was created by the witch Tessa at the request of the vampires. It can be used by those below the rank of Viscount.]
[Note: This is said to be a curse, but fire can be used for cooking and can also cause fires, so we shouldn't be prejudiced against power itself—or if we are, it doesn't matter.]
Li Changzhou took out the ring and threw away the box (the housekeeper was a little unhappy about this).
When it was time to put it on, he suddenly asked, as if he had just remembered something, "Which finger should I wear it on to show that I have a girlfriend?"
The housekeeper raised her right middle finger at him, a gesture that was full of contempt, provocation, and sarcasm.
"Thank you." Li Changzhou put on the ring. "You still haven't told me whether you have any companions or not."
"Yes, but His Highness said there might be an undercover agent this time, so we can't tell anyone the list of people protecting Edison."
"I understand. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"This time, those targeting Edison include werewolves, witches, the church, and witch hunters."
"What are they doing? Are they going to start a war?" Li Changzhou asked, while guessing whether Miss Yang was a witch, a knight, or a nun from the church.
"Your mission is to protect Edison; you don't need to know anything else." The housekeeper finally lowered her middle finger, transformed into a bat, and flew into the dark forest in the moonlight.
Li Changzhou turned the ring on the middle finger of his right hand and pondered for a while.
He did not summon Li Qianxia immediately because Li Qianxia did not summon him, which proved that it was inconvenient for her.
As he stepped out of the cemetery, he glanced back at his own grave, which had been opened from the inside, and after thinking for a moment, decided to fill it back in.
Of course, I didn't do it myself.
"Go back by yourself after you fill it out."
"Hiss~" The king cobra swept its tail, and a large pile of soil was swept into the tomb.
King Cobra and Li Changzhou have the same physical attributes, but due to their different structures, their actual performances are also different. The most direct difference is in their ability to fire guns, use tools, and so on.
When it comes to filling graves, Li Changzhou is clearly less convenient than a king cobra with a long body.
It's an excuse, but it's also 100% a reason.
Step out of the grave and onto the streets of America in 1880.
There were no streetlights at that time; kerosene and gas were still used. The streets in the early morning were completely dark, with only the hazy morning light on the horizon.
The sun hadn't risen yet, and the sky was a deep blue.
The streets are lined with strip clubs, bars, tattoo parlors, and more.
A flock of nightingales were yawning as they finished their shift, while a few drug addicts or drunkards lay on the ground.
As Li Changzhou walked by alone, looking rather thin, two guys whistled at him, stood up, and walked towards him.
"Kid, all alone?" They were tall, like two doors.
“Yes.” Li Changzhou stopped in his tracks.
“Go over there, I have good news for you.” The thinner one pointed to the alleyway by the roadside.
"I love hearing good news the most," Li Changzhou said with a smile, walking towards the alley.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously let out a sharp laugh and followed.
Such a nice alley must already be occupied.
A woman was grabbed from behind by a man who covered her mouth with his right hand, lifted her up by the waist with his left hand, and pulled her feet off the ground.
The woman punched and kicked backward like a madwoman, desperately trying to poke the man's face with her elbows, attempting to pierce his eyes.
"Bitch! Fuck!"
It hit.
The intense pain caused the man to loosen his grip.
As soon as she broke free of her restraints, the woman rushed towards the three men who had entered the alley with all her might, her high heels making a clattering sound on the ground.
"Help me! Help me!"
"Stop her! Let's all four of us take her down!"
The two door panels emitted lewd laughter, but remained motionless, standing side by side, completely blocking the alley.
The woman was desperate. She craned her neck and tried to shout for help towards the main street behind them.
But the next moment, her neck was tightly gripped by the man behind her.
"I'll make you beg me, you slut."
The woman was pushed gently against the wall.
The man grabbed her thin throat with one hand and ripped off her shirt with the other.
The two doors whistled, quite satisfied with the size of the shirt and the white lace bra.
The woman screamed and struggled violently, her panic unleashing her potential and making her stronger than usual.
"Slap!" The man slapped her hard across the face.
The woman's lips were split open.
Li Changzhou twitched his nose slightly; the smell of blood made him a little hungry.
“If you dare to make another sound, I’ll cut your tongue out.” The man tried to squeeze his knee between the woman’s legs.
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, her breathing remained heavy, and her body slowly ceased its struggle.
