Chapter 82 Blackrock City "Thank you for remembering me, but I feel..."
Ji Yang was in the same spot as always, but this time he had a cup of the same coffee as Jiang Yang.
Of course, his time wandering outside the Bat Hotel wasn't entirely fruitless. For example, he learned that the division of Blackrock City into Districts 1, 2, and 4 was based on the vampires' strength.
Strictly speaking, the so-called vampires in District 4 are not classified as vampires. Instead, they are closer to a kind of creature that failed to evolve, and even humans are of a higher status than them.
The coffee shop employee also said, "It seems that the Fourth District has experienced a catastrophic disaster. All the vampires have perished, and the humans have fled to various parts of Blackrock City. Therefore, the Second District has recently intensified its hunting efforts against these people."
"And in the Second District, under the management of the two gentlemen at the Bat Hotel, anyone with a legal identity in the Second District enjoys the best treatment in the entire Blackrock City."
"So, would you like to join Zone Two? I can introduce you to it," the clerk said, her hand reaching out through the small order window to touch Ji Yang's arm, which was resting on it. Ji Yang quickly declined the clerk's offer and, holding his coffee, ran back to the tree as if fleeing.
Driven by some strange impulse, he inexplicably opened the panel and clicked into his chat with Jiang Yang, angrily typing, "Someone touched me!"
Jiang Yang didn't reply, but she sent a message to Nan Ke in the group chat, asking, "When are you coming in?"
Why are you ignoring me?!
"I told you I was touched and you didn't react at all!"
"Let me tell you, Diski hugged me before! Hug me! Hug me! Hug me!"
You retracted a message.
You retracted a message.
You retracted a message.
Ji Yang briefly regained his composure. Oh well, Jiang Yang was alone in the Bat Hotel after all. He opened the group chat and replied, "Go get one from Meng Jiang."
...
In the restaurant on the fourth floor, a young man in the same uniform as the guard on the tenth floor was enjoying his meal at a table in the corner. He had placed the food cart to the side, so Jiang Yang recognized him at a glance after getting off the elevator.
But just as Jiang Yang was about to use the same trick again, holding a handful of black stones to "bribe" the other party, he unexpectedly failed.
He repeated what Jiang Yang had just said: "You want to buy me?"
Yes, Jiang Yang just said, "Can I buy your..." clothes?
A clever word game: He sticks out his tongue and licks his unintentionally exposed sharp teeth. The rare steak on his fork drips blood along the muscle fibers as he lifts it and then stops in mid-air. The red blood reflects in his eyes, even making his pupils glow red.
He asked, "Why do you want to buy me?"
He is not human.
Only talented people need rules to enforce silence and keep secrets.
Jiang Yang thought of that lock; the other end of it was locked up by people, and people's hearts are fickle.
Therefore, the owner of the Bat Hotel granted the vampires the right to freely enter and exit the hotel, but Jiang Yang currently has no bargaining chips to make a deal with the vampires.
Jiang Yang calmly sat down opposite "him" and praised him generously, "Because I think you are very good-looking."
He brought the steak to his mouth, blood staining the corner of his lips, but he didn't care. After swallowing it without chewing, he said, "I remember you. You are the top-grade blood servant that Mr. V is going to auction tonight."
"Thank you for remembering me, but I feel very uneasy about it. I'm a little scared of what's coming, so I want to buy a handsome man I like and have him bid on me tonight."
Jiang Yang placed the black stone on the table, took off his glasses, and gracefully folded the temples of his glasses into the pocket of the person opposite him.
Jiang Yang's bold move drew gasps of surprise from the live chat in the observation room. He stood up, patted the man on the shoulder, and calmly walked toward the restaurant exit. Before leaving, he tossed nearly fifty yuan to the waiter next to him and said in a moderate voice, "Give that gentleman another steak, medium-rare."
Jiang Yang's tense nerves didn't completely relax until the elevator doors closed. The young man leaned against the elevator wall, patting his chest with lingering fear, muttering to himself, "Luckily I reacted quickly, I almost became food."
Jiang Yang opened his hand, his fingertips still covered in fine white powder. He patted the rest of the powder onto "his" shoulder, but it had no effect.
What should we do...?
[Black Rock City Observatory - Jiang Yang's Perspective]
"So this is what you do: flirt and then run away?!!"
"Is it appropriate? Let's just say it's appropriate, okay? Try flirting with me next time, thanks!"
Ji Yang (sarcastically): So~ I want to buy~ a~ handsome~ man~ I like~
"No! What's he doing upstairs?!"
The moment the elevator doors opened, Jiang Yang straightened up, the look of shock on her face faded, and her acting became completely natural.
The next step in his impromptu plan was to find a helper.
Mr. E's living room on the second floor seemed completely unconcerned about being spied on. The frosted glass door was wide open, and everyone was gathered around the cages, as if watching an animal performance, occasionally making comments.
Xiong Bingxin and the upside-down man were at the front of the crowd. Jiang Yang didn't go in; instead, he waited at the elevator entrance and used a black stone coin to ask the servant standing outside to quietly call Meng Jiang out.
When he saw Meng Jiang, a standard toothy smile appeared on the young man's face. After recognizing him, Meng Jiang lowered his voice and reminded him, "You'd better not forget that the confrontation mode has already been activated."
Jiang Yang naturally remembered the initial rules: when the progress reached 50%, the team confrontation would begin. In other words, if Meng Jiang wanted, the tank team could kill him on the second floor at any time. However, the actions of Meng Jiang and Zhang Qing in the elevator at that time made him willing to take the risk.
"Speak, what is it?" Meng Jiang pinched his nose and gave in.
Jiang Yang took out a miniature camera from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Here, I'm returning this to you."
Meng Jiang refused, explaining, "It's already been given to Ji Yang as payment."
Ji Yang didn't mention this to Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang frowned, looking slightly disappointed, and whispered, "What can we do..."
"Just say what you have to say!"
"I want to knock a vampire unconscious! Then, I want to strip him naked!"
Before Meng Jiang could reply, Zhang Qing came out of the reception room with a look of disgust on her face. Meng Jiang asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just disgusted. The captain just asked you where you went," Zhang Qing's gaze lingered on Jiang Yang for a moment, "I said you went to the restroom."
"What should I do..." Jiang Yang wailed, her voice trailing off.
Meng Jiang took a deep breath. "Zhang Qing, get him a bottle of special spray that can restrict the vampire's movements."
Jiang Yang's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Thank you~ Brother~ Thank you~ Sister~"
Meng Jiang returned to the reception room first. When Zhang Qing handed the spray bottle to Jiang Yang, she said, "It can only last for half an hour. Also, Meng Jiang asked me to pass on a message to you: next time we meet, we'll be rivals."
Even so, Jiang Yang still said earnestly and sincerely, "Thank you."
One observer couldn't help but comment: "To be honest, Jiang Yang is a really likable kid."
Jiang Yang, who had successfully obtained the item, made a sound in the group chat. Turning around, she noticed that Ji Yang had sent several messages in the private chat box at some point, but only left a series of "[retracted]" messages.
He shrugged, looking slightly puzzled. He had been so focused on asking Nan Ke when she would arrive after coming down from the fourth floor that he hadn't really paid attention.
However, he couldn't wait for Nan Ke's reply. Fortunately, after Nan Ke told Xie Lu about Jiang Yang's plan, Xie Lu suggested that they try a special effects spray from the store.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yang couldn't exchange it, so Ji Yang suggested, "Go find Meng Jiang and get one."
[Panel Group Chat: Mouguang]
Jiang Yang (By the way, I'd like to ask): @Ji Yang, why didn't you ask me for the miniature camera?
Ji Yang (Bored so he replied instantly + Rich and powerful version): It's yours.
...
Jiang Yang didn't return because she was upstairs. A minute later...
Ji Yang (the overbearing version): How are you going to thank me?
...
Nan Ke (unable to resist using a sarcastic tone): How else do you want him to thank you?
When Jiang Yang returned to the fourth floor, the medium-rare steak he had ordered from the waiter came in handy, just in time to slow down the non-human man. When Jiang Yang was already waiting on the seventh floor, "he" pushed the food cart into the elevator.
The elevator doors opened on the seventh floor, and Jiang Yang walked in and said, "What a coincidence, you've finished eating?"
He nodded in response. Jiang Yang turned his toes and his gaze fell on the closed elevator door and the lit elevator buttons. He made a confused "Huh?" sound, then slapped his forehead in annoyance. "Did I press the wrong button? I should be going downstairs."
Jiang Yang pressed the button for the ninth floor, and with a hint of fear and panic, said meaningfully, "I won't go to the tenth floor." As if she was afraid and wanted to escape, Jiang Yang even accidentally bumped into the food cart when she left the elevator. The food cart hit the elevator wall with a loud noise, and "he" reached out to steady her.
The elevator went up, stopped on the tenth floor, opened and closed repeatedly, and then slowly returned to the ninth floor under the action of the up button pressed by Jiang Yang. The elevator door opened, and "he" fell to the ground. Jiang Yang covered his nose and went forward, bent down and reached his hand into the bottom of the food cart to rub it, and then stood up. In his hand was a bottle with the spray nozzle removed at some point.
The nozzle emitted a hissing sound as the drug inside continued to spread relentlessly.
Jiang Yang dragged "him" out of the elevator and placed him in one of the rooms on the ninth floor. When Jiang Yang came out of the room, he had changed into the uniform clothes that were the same as those on the tenth floor. As he expected, the key to unlock the door was indeed with the person who delivered the food.
To avoid being exposed, Jiang Yang took a black scarf and wrapped it around his entire body below his nose. He then looked in the mirror and imitated the cold and murderous look in the vampire's eyes to a high degree. After doing all this, he finally pushed the food cart back into the elevator.
