Li Yuebai hung up the phone, and his guess about the matter was almost correct.

The dormant body hid in the cultural relics. After waking up, it tried to find a chance to escape, but was locked in a strictly secured password box and could not get out. So it controlled everyone in the car except the driver, making them fall into a psychedelic state. The curator first entered the first three digits, and then the three experts entered the last three digits. Even for the powerful Vlad III, it was very energy-consuming to manipulate so many people in a fragile dormant state, not to mention that they had to erase their memories afterwards... so this process took a full ten minutes.

In fact, after escaping from the code box, the dormant body could have controlled the curator to close the code box and create the illusion that nothing had happened, but he did not do so. Instead, he left the code box open. This had something to do with Vlad III's personality. According to the information, he was very arrogant and self-centered. Of course, he disdained to do this kind of finishing work, but was more willing to leave traces.

After escaping from the code box, it hid in the car and used spells to explore around, looking for a suitable host - being in a moving car was actually more convenient. The body of the dormant form was very fragile, and although it could fly, it was unwilling to expend too much energy on flying.

Li Yuebai drew the route that the museum's black Lincoln passed on the map.

There are three hospitals along this line.

There were many people in the hospital who were unconscious, dying, or even dead. Why didn't Vlad III choose any of them? He chose Gao Chengyu instead.

It can only be explained as a kind of selection.

Even the maid Ampsa was picky and refused to possess the beheaded Xu Lili, let alone a powerful vampire like Vlad III.

The people he chooses must be those he approves of.

...The more I think about it, the more I feel that this villain is the author's biological son?

Li Yuebai had a terrible headache, and images of villains from various anime works appeared in his mind.

Evil and powerful... and often has amazing luck...

"So, my host, you must be careful when facing Vlad III the Impaler..." The system's words sounded more like gloating than worrying.

Li Yuebai has been thinking a lot lately about which side this system is on. It seems like it has never been on his side.

"Piercing King..." Li Yuebai rubbed his temples irritably.

The Piercing King...

Wait, that's not right!

"System, what do you call him, The Impaler?" Li Yuebai calmly caught a language error: "No, all the information refers to Vlad III as The Impaler - his identity is a Grand Duke, not a king."

Grand Duke is slightly higher than Duke, in English it is Grand duke, and king is King.

The system laughed secretly: "Now you are the king."

“Hmm…?” Li Yuebai’s heart sank. According to historical records, Vlad III was a Grand Duke from the 15th century until his disappearance.

"Just recently, he completed his coronation." The system revealed a shocking news.

Gao Chengyu used some unknown means to escape directly to Romania in Europe, where he gathered the vampires who had successfully transformed themselves, and crowned them king through some mysterious and forbidden ceremony.

"Can the dead pass through customs? And how do they get their ID cards and passports through?" Ye Qing asked casually.

"As long as he has mind control, he can go anywhere without any obstacles." Li Yuebai sighed.

Ye Qing is a child with an IQ that is off the charts in mathematics and physics, but he has never had the intention to break the rules.

It is very likely that Gao Chengyu is still in Europe - this also explains why he was able to get the pen holder containing the snake demon Lilith, and why he has never come to hunt me down.

Gao Chengyu is certainly not a magnanimous person. He will definitely not let go of Gu Xisha, but before that, he must make adequate preparations.

After sorting out the current situation, the night deepened again.

Li Yuebai stretched and yawned, planning to take a shower and go to sleep.

No matter how difficult or dangerous the future may be, you must take care of your body first.

"Xiao Ye, go to bed quickly." He turned his head to urge Ye Qing, but saw Ye Qing walking out with a paralyzed face holding a glass of boiled water.

"What are you doing?" Li Yuebai was stunned: "Are you going to feed the stray cats outside with water? The teacher thinks they might like cat food more..."

"No." Ye Qing said calmly, "I'm going to look at the stars."

Li Yuebai was very tired and made a gesture of supporting his forehead.

"Xiao Ye, have you looked at the watch? What time is it now? The zoo has been closed for a long time!"

"No." Ye Qing calmly pointed to the ceiling: "The stars in the sky."

Li Yuebai searched Gu Xisha's memories and found that Ye Qing had no habit of looking at the stars in the middle of the night.

But that was the original owner Ye Qing. The current time traveler Ye Qing might like to look at the stars.

Teacher Bai has to deal with all kinds of quirks from the naughty kids in the class every day. He has long been accustomed to it.

So he calmly watched Ye Qing open the door and go out.

Three minutes later.

Li Yuebai looked around the empty room and felt a chill on his back.

Although Ye Qing never spoke at home, sitting cross-legged on the sofa concentrating on his computer, with the light from the screen making his face look dim and blue - but this scene inexplicably made people feel at ease, just like hanging a door god at home to ward off evil spirits, giving one a sense of security.

So Li Yuebai took prompt action, grabbed a gun, put on a shirt and went out to find Ye Qing.

The building had fallen into disrepair, and the stairs led directly to the top of the building—but there was a concrete slab blocking the entrance, which was a bit difficult to remove, but not completely impossible.

In the darkness of night, Ye Qing was lying alone on the roof, with the glass of water placed steadily beside him.

I thought when he said star-watching he meant going to the rooftop to get some fresh air, but I didn't expect he was actually actually watching the stars.

Li Yuebai walked around the rooftop, breathed in the stale high-rise air for a while, then found a clean place next to Ye Qing and sat down. The concrete roof had been exposed to the sun for a whole day and was still hot.

"You are so tired, but you still have the energy to count the stars. You are indeed a young man." Li Yuebai said with emotion: "Oh, by the way, aren't you a math genius? How many stars are there? Have you counted them all?"

Although this place is close to the suburbs, there is still some light pollution. One side of the sky is illuminated by neon lights, and there are only a few stars that can be seen.

"About 400 billion." Ye Qing didn't even blink.

Did he really count this, or was he just making it up? Even a math genius wouldn't behave like this, right?

Li Yuebai couldn't help but take another look at Ye Qing's eyes.

Ye Qing's eyes were very bright, as if billions of stars were reflected in them, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't understand what he was thinking.

"Do you know what kind of people are truly lonely?" Li Yuebai couldn't control his mouth anymore and said whatever came to his mind: "Really lonely people are definitely not those who complain every day: I am so lonely, so lonely... that kind of people."

"Yeah." Ye Qing didn't know whether he heard it or not. He responded lightly.

"You are the one who is truly lonely." Li Yuebai felt that sitting was too tiring, so he simply lay down, but not side by side with Ye Qing, but in a T-shape: "Don't say anything, no one knows what you are thinking, there is no past, no future, and you are always alone."

Ye Qing seemed to laugh, and after a long while he spoke: "Master, are you going to persuade me not to be so lonely?"

Li Yuebai said nothing.

"I know, don't worry." Ye Qing's voice was still so cold and calm: "For the next task, I can talk to you 30% more every day. It is necessary to enhance communication between partners."

"No." After a long while, Li Yuebai finally spoke: "I never meant that."

"When everyone says that a person has a certain trait, doesn't it mean that they want him to become more normal?" Ye Qing seemed to smile.

"I'm not." Li Yuebai waved his hands in the dark: "Such rudeness is not my style."

“…”

"Loneliness is a part of you, you are born this way, or you have just experienced a lot of things that you don't remember and I don't know about." Li Yuebai said: "If you think loneliness is natural, there is nothing in this world worth giving up loneliness. Then as a partner, I have no right to ask you to change."

"Thank you."

"For ordinary people, there are many interesting things, but for you..." Li Yuebai said: "Boring is boring. Instead of pretending that boredom is interesting, it is better to be free and alone."

Ye Qing seemed to smile again.

"It is because of the existence of special people like us that the world is interesting." Li Yuebai finished his summary, sat up, and stretched out his hand to rub Ye Qing's hair: "Okay, go back to sleep!"

Li Yuebai reflected on his words in his sleep and felt that he had spoken too decisively.

Ye Qing seemed to have said that there were a few things in this world that made him interested, such as beating bosses, such as...

Thinking of what Ye Qing once said, "Your future tragic experiences seem very interesting," Li Yuebai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.

Actually, when it comes to loneliness, aren’t you lonely? Everyone has felt that they are the only one in the world at some point in time…

Li Yuebai has been praised as a male god since he was a child. He is handsome, intelligent, well-educated, has a good temper and a good personality. He is always secretly loved by people, but he is still single.

Just be single, and be lazy.

Because it's too easy, you can get good grades without studying hard, and you can get a stable job without working too hard... Li Yuebai was born in a family where both his parents had died, and he had a natural yearning for peace and stability, so he seldom challenged anything in his twenty years of life. He was very content to be his idol teacher in the Eighth Middle School. His life was extremely comfortable, and he never thought about tapping into his potential.

After encountering the criminals and being forcibly dragged into this dangerous world by the system, he discovered that he actually had such strong explosive power. The more desperate the situation was, the more crazy outbursts and reversals he could produce.

This feeling seems... a bit refreshing?

But fear still followed him like a shadow. He could not be as calm and composed as Ye Qing. He was always afraid of various future dangers.

Be afraid if you want to. How can you have an IQ without fear?
