...
Seeing that she couldn't have the delicious dessert, Lochina paused for a moment, then obediently huddled by the bed, hugging her doll and remaining silent.
Ludwig began to enjoy her meal with great relish.
One mouthful.
Two mouthfuls.
Three mouthfuls.
With each bite she took, the little one's sobs became more pronounced, while Ruo Keke's gaze grew increasingly intense.
"Miss."
“...Alright!” Ludwig said helplessly.
She leaned over and hugged Lochina, patting her head reassuringly.
"Sweetie, little Lochina. We'll take you out to buy some food later."
She was, after all, an obedient child, and immediately stopped crying and started laughing:
"it is good."
Before long, Ludwig and Ruco had completely won over Lochina's favor and trust.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that this child is completely trusting and naive, like a blank canvas waiting for an artist to depict her true nature.
Ludwig thought that since she didn't know where to send her, she might as well go back to where she had first picked her up, wander around the neighborhood, ask passersby for directions, and try her luck.
...
...
Meanwhile, somewhere.
Within a calm expanse of black mist, irregular twists and ripples suddenly appeared—moments later, they stretched and expanded to both sides, gradually transforming into a vortex.
First her toes, then her lower body, and finally her entire body—the blonde girl emerged from the vortex and then arrived at the center of the black mist.
The Spear of Longinus, broken into three parts, stands there silently.
The dark, malevolent energy continued to flow into it, nearly devouring its original color. Now it was entirely silver-black, inlaid with dark gold patterns, and its former holy appearance had completely vanished.
At this moment, apart from the slight buzzing sound it emitted, the only other sound was the crisp echo of her high heels striking the ground as she gracefully stepped closer.
"..."
"The moment has finally arrived, Longinus..."
She reached out to touch it.
"Come, let's complete the final ceremony—"
Nourishing.
It's sizzling!
Her eyes were filled with fanaticism, and she didn't notice that she had touched the tip of its spear.
Her eyes widened, and she stopped breathing the moment she saw her own fingers.
The tip of the Spear of Longinus possesses a divine power that can pierce through everything!
Regardless of reality or illusion, life or death, even the laws of the world and gods who have never descended—the spearhead, sharp without needing polishing, can pierce through everything. And even a slight touch will have extremely serious consequences for evil and filth.
The tiny scars on her fingertips were causing the dark energy within her to rapidly leak out.
"What...wait?"
! ”
She took two steps back, completely ignoring the mess her hair ornaments had become, and clutched her head in anguish:
"Ugh...! My head hurts so much!"
The Lance of Longinus trembled uneasily before her, as if wary of the monster ahead, its tip even turning to point at her.
"Longinus, it is I! You cannot—oh!"
call! ! !
She screamed, her blood-red eyes trembling violently—
As more and more dark energy dissipated from her body, her gorgeous dress was violently blown up, making her feel as if she were being swept up by a gale, almost causing her to fall to the ground.
"Ah ah--!"
Her mind was almost completely blank due to the excruciating pain, but she could still feel that her body... was losing control!
"My...power..."
She fell to the ground, her uncontrollable body no longer able to support her.
"This body...cannot..."
She suddenly shuddered, froze, and stared wide-eyed.
The blood red in its pupils began to fade, gradually revealing its original purplish-red color.
"who I am?"
The excruciating pain in her mind had not yet subsided, as the dark power that occupied her mind was fading. As a result, her thoughts were left in a state of utter chaos.
...
Just then, footsteps sounded beside her, and a figure emerged from the black mist and arrived at her side.
"It really was you. Looks like my secret tampering with the Holy Lance worked..."
Upon seeing the blonde girl's true appearance, he became even more convinced of his judgment.
"Holy Grail incarnation—Ligrail, your body has indeed been...!"
The blonde girl turned her head stiffly and saw the man who had suddenly appeared:
"Tor...re?"
“Yes, it’s me. Remember who you are, then leave here and tell me what happened!” Torre said.
He stepped forward and reached out to the girl, trying to pull her out of the dark storm.
"Let me help you, give me your hand!"
...
She reached out and grabbed Torre.
His deep purple eyes stared blankly at the hand, then at Torre's face.
"I remember now, I am..."
The next instant, her pupils turned blood red again.
"Yang Lingxi. Without a doubt."
She stood up with a wicked smile, and suddenly, the dissipated dark energy, along with the massive black mist surrounding her, all flowed back into her body at lightning speed.
click!
She grabbed Torre by the neck, and although her shoulders and neck were still slightly stiff, it was still too fast for Torre to react.
The girl blinked her bright red, wicked eyes and chuckled softly.
"It seems there's been some misunderstanding between us, Mr. Chief Speaker?"
"This body has always belonged to me. Are you treating me like someone else?"
She released her grip, and Torre, who was nearly unable to breathe, collapsed to the ground.
Pfft!
...
"Humph."
She sneered.
"It seems I need to let you see me in a new light. Before enumerating your crimes of usurpation against me... let me clear up the misunderstanding between us?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached into her own chest—as if it were intangible, it simply pierced through her body...!
She grabbed something, and with a strange crackling sound accompanied by purple light, she took out a black, gold-plated container from her chest, from which a burst of evil energy erupted.
"Yang Lingxi is both a vampire princess and the embodiment of the Holy Grail of Greed."
She gently tapped the now-corrupted Holy Grail, producing a clear and melodious tinkling sound.
"This is my true form."
...
Torre was horrified: "You...you..."
.ah!!"
Chapter 60 Contract
"Hiruru can only play mobile games today. The sound quality is a bit poor, but please bear with it."
"Huh? Why does it sound so professional? It's nice to change things up sometimes! I'm really not doing an ad!"
...
Yin Shang lay on the bed with his legs crossed, idly scrolling through Xilulu's live stream clips.
"This idiot manages to cause a live broadcast mishap every single episode. If I hadn't known her for so long, I would have thought it was all just for the show."
Hilulu's friend's profile picture hasn't been lit up for several days, so it seems that the places she's traveling to don't have frequent signal.
"Could it be that she's angry because she couldn't play games with me?"
"..."
"..."
"wrong."
Suddenly, several seemingly unrelated things came together in Yin Shang's mind.
"Where have I heard Hiluru's sales voice before?"
He quickly convinced himself.
"Impossible, that's absurd. What fool would use their real name to go online?"
He put away his phone and got out of bed.
"Fine, I'll go out and explore the vampire dark zone. That grumpy lady gave me a temporary pass, might as well use it."
Reinhardt said, "Master, it's a good thing for humans to go into the vampire dark zone and broaden their horizons, since it's a rare opportunity for them."
...
The underground ghetto of the vampires is a mysterious and dangerous unknown territory for humans. Driven by curiosity, not only do daring internet celebrities often venture in to film vlogs, but human gangsters, thugs, and drunkards also occasionally break in and cause trouble... However, without exception, they are all "dealt with" by the ghetto security forces arranged by the council, ensuring the safety, secrecy, and stability of the vampire community.
Therefore, it is not surprising that humans appear in the Dark Zone, but it is indeed strange in the eyes of vampires to see someone like Yin Shang swaggering down the street with a holy artifact on his back, wearing headphones and humming a song.
After a period of observation, Yin Shang learned about the Vampire Teleportation Network—because Yin Shang possessed a pass and was essentially a "half-vampire," he was qualified to use the teleportation network.
The staff told him that to use it, he first had to sincerely pledge allegiance to the Vampire Queen; otherwise, the teleportation network would shut him out. Even verbal pledges of allegiance wouldn't work.
"Why is this teleportation array also linked to a loyalty check function?!"
"This is one of the rules of the vampire clan, so I suggest you don't ask any more questions."
After visiting several public facilities unique to vampires, Yin Shang finally understood where all those strange tales about vampire rules on the internet came from.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the vampire community is indeed very strange, and Yin Shang's understanding was refreshed several times in just a few hours.
...
After wandering around the vampire dark zone for a few hours, he ended up at the hospital entrance.
In any case, Yin Shang is currently an injured patient who still needs the vampire doctor to help stabilize his condition caused by the curse, and he will have to stay here for at least a few more days.
As soon as he entered his ward, he saw Ye Liuli waiting by the door for quite some time.
