"Minister Ye, there's no need to worry about that."
...
...
...
wow-
The curtains by the wall were drawn back, and the clear moonlight streamed into the room.
The sudden light source startled the girl sitting in the chair by the window, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was harmless moonlight.
But then, upon seeing "something" sitting on the windowsill, the black-haired vampire girl's eyes widened in horror.
"Ah...you, you are—"
On the windowsill sat a silver-haired girl, her silver hair cascading like a silver waterfall under the moonlight, just as dreamy and gorgeous as when they first met.
"Why, don't you recognize me?"
She chuckled softly and gracefully.
"Is she the vampire mediator who saved you?"
The black-haired girl shook her head repeatedly: "No, you are not her...you are, the Vampire Queen!"
...
Although the vampires have won a victory in the battle of public opinion, it is still a drop in the ocean.
For the vast majority of "newborn vampires" in the world, the so-called "vampire council," "vampire royal court," and the "vampire queen" who represents them have long become the target of public criticism and the culprits hindering vampires from achieving equal status, thanks to the group's high-intensity propaganda offensive over the years.
Many vampires, having benefited from the Spier Group's generosity, firmly believe in the group's claims and view the Vampire Council as an absolute thorn in their side, wishing nothing more than to eliminate it.
Many vampires are rallying supporters under the banner of the "vampire equality movement," and with the slogan of "overthrowing the queen's dictatorship and restoring freedom and equality to vampires," they are expanding their influence with an unstoppable momentum. Even now, despite the vampire royal court gaining some breathing room and the shocking scandal of the Spire Group being exposed, it is difficult to reverse the direction of public opinion.
In fact, the vampire queen, who nominally rules over all vampires, is now only supported by the native vampires.
If her rule is truly overthrown, vampires will undoubtedly become slaves at the mercy of humans. The new vampires who clamor to overthrow the queen have already lost their ability to think rationally under the propaganda offensive of the corporation.
The story begins with Xue Xiaolin, a girl rescued by mediator Ludwig in Chongchuan City.
With the group's sponsorship, she was able to attend a top university and participate in internships in a department under the group. Under the group's intensive brainwashing, in just a few months, she firmly believed that vampires could achieve far greater success than humans through their superior physical abilities and their own hands, and that the authoritarian vampire council and queen were the only obstacles preventing vampires from gaining freedom.
He is a typical, utterly quintessential new vampire, blinded by the group.
It was precisely for this reason that Ludwig, who had met Xue Xiaolin once and had been saved by her, took a liking to her current inconspicuous but important position and chose her as the first step in the secret plan.
...
"Yes, I am the Vampire Queen. But I am also Lulu, who once saved you, right?"
The silver-haired girl smiled.
"What, long time no see? Aren't you going to say hello to your older sister? Is this considered after-sales follow-up service?"
...
"You...you tied me up and brought me here...what are you going to do to me!"
Having transformed into a vampire, Xue Xiaolin's thinking has matured considerably, and her gaze towards Ludwig has become filled with hostility.
"Nothing much, really? It's just that little Rin seems to have quite a bit of prejudice against us, so we invited you here for a heart-to-heart talk," the vampire queen said with a smile.
"Have a heart-to-heart talk? Dictator, tyrant, we have nothing to talk about!"
Xue Xiaolin
glare.
"Why! As a mediator for the vampires, you should be fully aware of the suffering they endure! Why... have you become a queen!"
She had watched the entire process of the new queen's ascension to the throne on television, so she immediately recognized Queen Eternal Night as Lulu, the sister who had saved her.
Her idol of the vampires instantly "collapsed," and all her worship of Ludwig turned into hatred for the vampire queen.
"Your corrupt vampire royal court wants to take away the freedom and everything of the vampires! Turn back now and accept our group's proposal! Only in this way can the vampires live peacefully and carefree with humans in the future!"
...
"Hmm, it seems she's completely deaf to anything I say."
Ludwig shook her head in disappointment.
"Human propaganda is truly terrifying. No wonder the Eternal Queen, Siriot, felt inadequate to be queen. Even after Princess Spirit Dwelling became regent, she could not withstand this overwhelming offensive."
"However, from today onwards, these problems will soon cease to be problems."
The silver-haired Queen of Eternal Night lit up her fluorescent red eyes and suddenly embraced Xue Xiaolin gently and irresistibly, her tongue gliding across her soft neck.
"Hiss Liu."
"Be good, don't move."
Under the corrosive influence of the power of domination, Xue Xiaolin had long since become a puppet to be manipulated at will, her eyes vacant, unable to utter a single word.
The eerie dark magic manifested as blood-red patterns, spreading from Xue Xiaolin's neck towards her brain.
"Gurgle... Eek... Ah..."
Xue Xiaolin twitched slightly and collapsed uncontrollably into the silver-haired girl's arms, white foam spilling from the corner of her mouth.
The vampire queen can use all kinds of bizarre and unpredictable methods to turn all vampires into her devoted servants and puppets.
This is one of the many terrifying uses of the Queen's power, and it is also the reason why the Spire Group, which knows many secrets, is trying every means to eliminate the vampire queen.
The Queen's [Power of Domination] is just as its name suggests—it is a blood energy that can command millions of vampires and control their minds, which is precisely what vampires with ulterior motives fear most.
This is the fundamental reason why they went to great lengths, even at the cost of betraying their own people, to stand on the side of humanity and rebel against the Queen.
Because if the queen is not removed, they will never gain intellectual "freedom".
...
A moment later, Xue Xiaolin's eyes regained their sparkle.
“Slurp…”
She licked her lips and looked around at her body.
Then, he looked up at the Queen beside him.
The vampire queen chuckled: "How do you feel?"
...
"Hmm... It feels really strange to become a different person."
The black-haired girl gave a wicked smile.
"From today onwards, I am Xue Xiaolin?"
She closed her eyes and quickly accessed all the memories in her mind.
"No, she is Xue Xiaolin."
She gave a wicked smile and gracefully bowed to the silver-haired girl in front of her.
"Swear allegiance to the Queen of Eternal Night."
...
The power of domination manifested as a mysterious dark spell, creating a copy of the Night Queen's own personality and overwriting the identity of a girl named "Xue Xiaolin"...
This personality, created entirely in imitation of Ludwig, did not carry any of the Queen's original memories. Therefore, after erasing Xue Xiaolin's personality, taking over her body, and absorbing all her memories, it became the new "Xue Xiaolin".
Aside from being completely loyal to the Vampire Council and the Queen, Xue Xiaolin is no different from the original.
After all, only another "self" is truly trustworthy.
This is Ludwig's newly developed "Domination" spell... Now, she will put it to the test in the field.
...
"Hehe...Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now?"
"Go ahead, my little darling. Don't let me down."
"of course."
Xue Xiaolin's wicked smile was no different from that of the vampire queen.
"But what about your brother?" Queen Eternal Night asked with a smile.
"Xiao Lin has her own way. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The black-haired girl hummed a little tune as she stepped onto the teleportation array opened for her by the Queen of Eternal Night, returning to the place where she had always lived.
Next, this hidden stake will become a time bomb that gradually increases in power, a "deadly pathogen" for the group... When the time is right, it will work from the inside and outside to blow the group to smithereens.
Chapter 177 Hidden Agents
Despite being over a century old, the Fourth Hospital of Shigekawa City, located on a mountaintop in Shigekawa City, continues to thrive thanks to modern technology.
The layout and general structure of the hospital allowed Rucoko, who had glimpsed Ludwig's memories, to vaguely recognize that it was indeed the hospital that had treated Ludwig a hundred years ago.
But time has passed, and a century of change has rendered everything different. The clue in the note, "Dr. Zhou Chengli," refers to someone from a hundred years ago. Can we find any trace of him now?
Solid said, "Miss Ruo, this...that..."
Coco smiled and said, "What are your thoughts, Sister Sister? Please feel free to speak your mind."
Solid nodded and said cautiously:
“Okay. We can ask the hospital reception first, see if there is a doctor with the surname Zhou who has worked here for many years.”
“Since Yang Jin’er’s father is a meticulous person, then the ‘Dr. Zhou Chengli’ he entrusted to must not be an incompetent person. If he is a medical master or comes from a family of doctors... then perhaps his descendants will still be working in this hospital?”
Lochina, sucking her finger, tilted her head:
"Uh, like the relationship between Mother Spirit's Nest and Lochina? The maid often tells Lochina that Lochina is the continuation of Mother Spirit's Nest. As long as Lochina lives, her sacrifice will not be forgotten."
Coco ruffled her hair: "Little Lochina is so smart, that's pretty much it. But don't suck your finger, it looks silly."
Having identified their target, Lokina and Ruo Keke, disguised as ordinary vampires, entered the hospital as vampire sisters seeking medical treatment to begin their investigation.
Solid, on the other hand, transformed into a smaller, more agile cat form, making it easier to infiltrate and scout, and hid in Rucoco's pocket, waiting for orders.
...
Times have changed, and in today's society, vampires are an undeniable presence, and hospitals are no exception.
Therefore, in order to treat humans infected by wandering bloodthirsty monsters (and safely transform them into vampires), to treat the strange and unheard-of diseases unique to vampires, and to study the physiology of vampires, larger hospitals have long since established vampire medical departments.
Since Lochina and Ruo Keke entered the hospital under the guise of a medical check-up, they were not allowed to enter other departments. To protect both humans and vampires, the hospital closely monitored all vampire patients, and they were unable to escape from the vampire medical department for the time being.
"There's no other way but to try my luck at the front desk. So... Reinhardt, thank you for now."
The golden retriever kitten quietly slipped into the ventilation duct, and went ahead to scout for information while the two tried to escape.
"Hmm... go find the hospital's records, right? Leave it to me."
...
...
At the front desk, you can ask the front desk for the doctor you saw last time, but you don't remember who he is.
"Hello... I only know that the doctor's surname is Zhou, and it seems that his ancestors also worked in this hospital. He was very famous in our area."
"Madam, is the Dr. Zhou you're referring to male or female?"
"Ah, this..."
“We only have one Dr. Zhou in our hospital. His father and grandfather were both doctors in our hospital, but he is not the same person you are talking about.”
"why?"
"Dr. Zhou never treats vampires. He only treats humans. He is a young man in his thirties, arrogant and eccentric."
Lochina then feigned a weak cough, and Ruo Keke looked at her with concern before continuing to deceive the receptionist:
"But... receptionist, as you can see, my sister has contracted some human diseases. The vampire clinic doesn't treat these human diseases. He did treat me before, and I just recovered. I didn't expect that he had already infected my sister."
Upon hearing that it was an infectious disease, the receptionist took two steps back in fright.
"Okay...alright, I'll inform Dr. Zhou for you, but whether he'll treat you is another matter. Please leave as soon as possible."
