He glanced at him sideways, seemingly unsurprised, and said, "What, are you here to persuade me to swear allegiance to the Queen as well?"
The black-haired girl snorted.
“Some enthusiastic vampires reported to me that a church knight was wandering around the Dark Zone carrying a holy artifact, so of course I had to deal with it personally.”
"Report to you?" Yin Shang asked.
"Is there a problem with reporting this to me, the administrator of the underground secret district in Bailing City?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than she abruptly locked the door from the inside.
Yin Shang was startled: "You!"
Pfft!
The girl moved faster, pressing Yin Shang against the wall.
"Humph."
She took out a small jar of unlabeled pills and shoved it into Yin Shang's arms.
"Here you go. This is the Dark Suppression Drug prepared by the Council. Take one pill three times a day. It will prevent a relapse after you finish taking it. The condition is that you don't overload your body to fight anymore. Otherwise, not only will the illness still relapse, but your body will also develop antibodies that will permanently render the drug ineffective."
Her forceful nature left Yin Shang no room to refuse; she grabbed his collar and threw him back onto the bed.
"You know I'm a patient, can't you be a little gentler?!" Yin Shang said helplessly.
“Is it any of your business?” she replied.
"Instead of this, you should worry about what's to come. This medicine isn't free."
Yin Shang asked, "What do you want?"
...
Ye Liuli turned off the light with a click.
"Hiss... Hmph."
In the darkness, her eyes emitted a faint glow, like a ghost, capable of instilling immense psychological pressure in people.
Even when facing someone like Yin Shang, a professional at physically exorcising ghosts, Ye Liuli couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. This was Ye Liuli's usual way of chatting.
“A church knight hiding here may not be tracked down by the corporation, but if he is discovered one day, the council cannot protect him. You need to give a reason that will make the vampires cooperate with you. The church and the corporation have no conflict of interest or grudges, yet you, a church knight, claim to be enemies of the corporation.”
She raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph, how suspicious."
Yin Shang said, "First of all, he's a former church knight. And isn't it normal to have some personal grudges?"
The girl's eyes remained resentful and indifferent, putting considerable psychological pressure on her conversation partner from beginning to end.
“Words alone are not enough to gain my trust,” she said.
Yin Shang said, "This isn't just empty talk. Let me put it this way: since we've both confirmed that the group is an enemy, I can tell you some of my personal deductions."
"The Spier Corporation made some kind of deal with the Church, or perhaps even used the Church to obtain some extremely dangerous technology, creating modified warriors like Ma Jifeng. These people are collectively known within the corporation as the 'Chess Clique,' the corporation's elite private force, used to carry out many dirty jobs that cannot be done openly. These guys all obey President Capilison Spier. I'm not just doing this out of personal grudges; even if it's in the name of the Church, I have to trip up this dirty corporation."
He fiddled with the medicine bottle in his hand.
"As for the reason that will make you believe me... let me remind you, Miss Ye. Consider it information you'll exchange for this medicine."
"The corporation is plotting a scheme against the vampires. Although they outwardly continue to cooperate with the Vampire Council, and their newly introduced policies appear to favor vampires, they are not far from revealing their true fangs. Once the vampires become dependent on them, and they gain the hearts and minds of the vampire people..."
His tone slowed, and he spoke seriously.
"That will be the end of Parliament."
Yin Shang's words were startling. Ye Liuli stood there quietly, as if pondering the logical flaws in his words.
After a moment, she accepted Yin Shang's explanation.
"Indeed, human. You are indeed of value for cooperation."
She suddenly became angry.
"But why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Yin Shang said innocently, "I wanted to say it several times, but you didn't give me a chance."
"Hmph, all talk and no action. I will inform the Vampire Council to be on guard against the group, and you will officially become a member of the Council's external support team. I will issue you your official vampire pass tomorrow."
"Wait a minute. I only said I wanted to cooperate with you to deal with the corporation, I never said I wanted to join you!"
Ye Liuli coldly replied, "That's not up to you, especially when it comes to cooperation with such a high degree of secrecy. Our Queen has been betrayed by humanity countless times. Even in temporary cooperation, the council, upholding the Queen's will, will ensure that the other party cannot betray us during the process. Who can guarantee that you won't go back on your word?"
"Go back on your word? Do I look like that kind of person!"
"This is not up to you."
Pfft!
The black-haired vampire girl suddenly pinned Yin Shang to the bed.
"hiss..."
She suddenly leaned so close, her hair gently brushing against Yin Shang's cheek.
“I will enter into a time-limited contract with you, during which you will not be able to betray me.”
“Eleventh seat of the Vampire Council – Liuli.”
"What are you trying to do, huh?!"
She used both her hands and feet to pin Yin Shang down; despite being a much smaller girl, she could make Yin Shang almost unable to move.
Once she gets close, Yin Shang has no way to deal with her.
"Enough with the nonsense, of course we'll sign a contract. Once the contract is complete, I'll teach you how to use vampire power, so that those surging dark energies won't waste their time within you."
"You want to embrace me for the first time?!"
...
The girl's face flushed red instantly.
Clearly, Yin Shang was unaware of the significance of the Embrace to vampires when he made those remarks.
She grabbed Yin Shang by the neck, her face full of shame and anger.
"Trying to take advantage of me? Dream on. If I really wanted to embrace you, I would have done it while you were unconscious."
She stuck her tongue out from her mouth and licked Yin Shang's neck. Soon, she found the place to put it.
"Help! Help—"
Yin Shang wanted to shout, but Ye Liuli quickly covered his mouth.
*Pfft*
“Ugh! Ugh!!”
Chapter 61 Who is it?
Black-haired vampire boy
The woman patted her clothes and stood up with a satisfied look on her face.
"Hmph, all I can say is that the taste isn't bad."
Yin Shang asked, "So, is that all?"
She gave a slight, cold laugh: "Look at your neck."
Yin Shang picked up the mirror and saw a strange, bright red rune on his neck. Its presence had actually stopped the excruciating pain caused by the erosion on his left arm!
He closed his eyes, and he could even feel the flow of dark energy in his arms... just like manipulating holy light energy!
"This blood rune represents the pact between you and me. As long as it exists, you cannot defy me. Until the truth is revealed, serve the vampires."
wow——
Ye Liuli put on her jacket, pushed open the door, and left.
"You have one minute to get dressed and come find me at the door."
"What?"
"Special training."
"Special training?"
"I will teach you how to control the power of these vampires."
The girl said.
"You don't have to use this power, but you must know how to control it. Otherwise, when it goes berserk, I can use the contract's location to find a newborn vampire. Or... do you want to join the vampire clan now?"
Yin Shang quickly got out of bed: "I'm coming right now!"
"You have 30 seconds."
"Chatting counts too?!"
"25 seconds."
"Okay, okay -"
A barely perceptible smile flickered in the dark-haired girl's bright red eyes.
There was actually one more thing she hadn't told Yin Shang—
Once the dark power of vampires is used, they become addicted to its strength, ultimately unable to relinquish their omnipotence under its influence.
Ultimately, they will fall into another slave to darkness, walking in the shadows, bidding farewell to all light and warmth forever.
"Truly, it's Pandora's box..."
“If this knight can refuse the gift of darkness, then I might be able to admit that this guy is somewhat different from her.”
Each time he uses the power of darkness, his body will tend to evolve a little more into a vampire. Although the erosion will no longer spread, his body will eventually irreversibly transform into a vampire.
When he crosses a certain critical point, he will be instantly devoured by dark forces and transformed into a new vampire. Ye Liuli deliberately concealed this fact from Yin Shang.
"He'll find out sooner or later, but by then it will be too late. In the end, he'll give up resisting this erosion..."
"—Then I realized that this kind of attitude... isn't so bad after all."
She couldn't help but smile, but Yin Shang behind her was completely unaware.
...
...
...
at the same time.
"hey-hey."

“加|/1}>一-零|{{~<五~酒|/#0$}1>7<4=+&9|}4|9=>8唔嗯。”
"..."
Ludwig fondled Rocinna's hair, who seemed to be comfortably nestled in her arms, enjoying the "service" from her older sister.
"Little Lochina's hair is so soft, whew."
Seeing herself praised by the silver-haired older sister, Lochina smiled innocently:
"Sister, I'm glad you like it."
She imitated Ludwig's actions, stroking the fur of the teddy bear in her arms.
"Let the little bear pet it too, it will definitely feel comfortable."
Since finding Lochina, the two have tried to circle the area around where she was found at least ten times, but they have made no progress and are at least clueless.
In the few days she spent with Ludwig, Lochina had completely let down her guard and was completely obedient to her.
With her extensive experience as a mediator, Ludwig could easily figure out a child's thoughts.
Locina's mind was in the stage of imitating what she saw, but Ludwig spent all day sticking close to her. Although she knew it wasn't good for Locina, she couldn't help but hold her and wouldn't let go, and she would stay with her all day long.
So much so that today the often capricious young lady simply didn't take her out, and instead sent out a reliable maid to do the chores.
