In the middle of the night, Mu Qingyun was almost asleep when Yin's door made a sound.
"Squeak—"
The sound of the door being pushed open.
Then, a soft footstep sound came from the direction of the door, slowly moving towards the bedside.
"Brother, I killed a few people today, but some of them were ungrateful and kept struggling, which caused my right hand to be exposed to the sun and get sunburned."
A unique sound?
Mu Qingyun listened intently to the sounds outside the wardrobe, subconsciously holding her breath as she listened carefully to what Shu was saying.
"Brother, if you were awake, you would definitely stop me from doing this. Ha, a dignified vampire, trying to act all high and mighty like others. I'm telling you, you really can't compare to me in this respect."
Shu continued talking, but what followed was all irrelevant, just complaints and other nonsense.
"Knock knock, sir?"
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Shu, who was rambling on and on.
"Smack—"
The sound of a slap hitting someone's face was followed by Shu's restrained, angry rebuke: "I told you not to disturb me when I'm talking to my brother."
"No, I... I have something important to report!"
"roll!"
"My lord, more than one of our monitoring systems experienced a brief malfunction today, and most of our clansmen are still unconscious. Something's not right, my lord!"
That subordinate was loyal; even though Shu slapped him and told him to get lost, he still braved Shu's anger and told him everything about the emergency.
Mu Qingyun pressed her ear against the wardrobe, feeling a surge of admiration for her subordinate. It seemed this person wasn't just someone who was just wasting his life.
"What did you say?" Shu took his subordinate's words to heart. "It seems that people from the military academy have arrived."
"Then, sir, what should we do now?"
"It's alright. Go to the pharmacy and get the antidote for the sleeping potion. Give it to all the unconscious vampires." Shu sneered. "The fact that so many of our clansmen have fallen into a coma suggests that there must be something wrong with the blood packs."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "After the tribesmen wake up, have them strengthen the defenses of the castle. Also, throw away all the blood packs!"
"Throw it away?" The subordinate stared in shock, his voice trembling. "Then what are we going to eat?"
"Of course, it's about going out into the streets to suck the fresh blood of humans and beastmen. I tried some today, and it tastes much better than blood packs," Shu said calmly. "My brother forbids us from harming humans and beastmen. Don't you miss that delicious taste?"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate hesitated for less than a second before agreeing, "Yes, I understand. Should we thoroughly investigate the castle?"
“No need.” Shu arrogantly raised his chin. “The entire castle is on high alert right now. Even if there are people inside the castle, they wouldn’t dare to come out.”
"yes."
After his subordinate left, Shu said a few more words, tucked the blanket around him, and then got up to leave.
Once they left, the room immediately returned to silence.
Even after they left, Mu Qingyun didn't dare to go out rashly.
She obtained a lot of information from this eavesdropping.
The one who made the deal with Yi Beixuan was not Yin, but Shu. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the deal, Shu drugged Yin and 'replaced' him, ordering the entire vampire clan to mobilize.
If that's the case, then things become much easier.
Mu Qingyun reached into the storage bag and rummaged around for a while before finally taking out a black pill wrapped in plastic.
After waiting for a while, around midnight, she finally opened the wardrobe and went outside.
He glanced down at the communicator; the indicator light next to it was flashing green three times before returning to stillness.
This was how she and Su Zhou communicated. Every so often, she would send a signal to her communicator, and Su Zhou would respond. If she didn't send a signal, it meant something had happened.
She pressed the signal button to convey to Su Zhou that she was safe.
She tiptoed toward Yin, unwrapped the pill, and put it into Yin's mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth, releasing a faint medicinal fragrance.
The medicine took effect very quickly; within minutes, there was movement coming from the other side.
"Um……"
"hidden?"
She nudged the person's shoulder. "Wake up."
"Da da".
Mu Qingyun, who was concerned about Yu Yin, suddenly heard footsteps. Her heart tightened, and she looked towards the door, biting her lip anxiously.
"you……"
Yin suddenly spoke, startling Mu Qingyun, who was already in a state of anxiety.
"Don't talk, listen to me, pretend to be asleep!" After whispering a few words in her ear, she immediately ran into the closet.
She hid in the closet again, took the communicator from her sleeve and held it in her hand, while simultaneously gripping the belt around her waist.
"Squeak—"
There was a knock at the door.
"Brother, I've sent out all the clansmen. Tonight, Kapaqiong will face a bloodbath. Tomorrow, there will be a good show to watch." Shu seemed very tired, and his voice sounded weak.
“In a few days, once Mytel has completely conquered Capa Dome, I will give you the antidote. Then, our clan will be able to stand under the ‘sun’.”
Hearing the commotion outside, Mu Qingyun noticed that Shu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he didn't say anything more. The entire room became incredibly quiet.
Without hesitation, she pressed the red button on the communicator, retracted the storage bag, and tightened her grip on the belt.
As the art of war says: "Strike unexpectedly, attack where the enemy is unprepared."
She kicked open the wardrobe door with a sudden movement, and almost instantly pulled out her belt, quickly flicking it into the air, whereupon the belt transformed into a barbed whip.
"It really was you." Shu wasn't too surprised. He smiled with interest. "If you had come out a second later, I would have pulled out my gun and riddled you with bullets."
"special!"
Before Mu Qingyun could finish speaking, Yin, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. He tried his best to sit up and stared coldly at his younger brother. "I turned my back to you, but you didn't hesitate to stab me."
“Brother, it’s not like that,” Shu Yi panicked a little when she heard Yin’s words. She wanted to explain, but she was worried that Mu Qingyun would suddenly attack. “Brother, let me deal with her first, and then we can talk properly.”
Mu Qingyun was neither stupid nor talkative. While Shu and Yin were talking, she had already lashed out with the whip.
She nimbly dodged it, "You intend to use what I made against me?"
She didn't reply. The vines on her left wrist flew out and split into countless tiny green vines in the air, wrapping around Shu.
"...Not saying a word." Shu raised an eyebrow helplessly. Although he was talking, his hands were moving without slowing down at all.
With his five claws bent into hooks, he quickly stepped forward and ran towards her.
Vampires are physically much stronger than humans, and their speed is so fast that they are like a blur. In just a few blinks, they have gotten close to her through the gaps in the attacks of vines and whips.
