"Chess players?" Ludwig asked in surprise.
Yin Shang said, "I suppose this is the first time you've heard of this either. You probably haven't encountered these guys yet, which is a good thing. In any case, the group has already dispatched its chess players, so you'd better stay away from anything related to the group for the time being!"
Ludwig certainly knew the name; not long ago, she had been soundly beaten by "Chariot," one of the chess players, on the group's territory.
"Humph."
She pouted, about to scold Yin Shang for making bad friends, but then she thought that Yin Shang was not worthy of their complete trust either.
Therefore, she decided to temporarily conceal the fact that she had been hit by dust from Yin Shang.
"Alright. So we'll have to go back to the Vampire Council next. Since you've discovered that the intelligence is inaccurate, my maid and I will have to go back to the Council to check the reliability of the intelligence in person."
She was yawning.
“If Yang Lingxi is the daughter of a priest, then she can’t possibly be a vampire princess. But the council members are secretly telling you that she might be the ‘Famine Knight’... These three identities are completely contradictory.”
Yin Shang said, "It's much more convenient for vampires to go to the Vampire Council. Then we'll leave the rest to you. I'm still in Bailing City. I still need to continue investigating her identity and the whereabouts of your queen. I'll hang up now."
"By the way, remember this: never provoke the group!" he added. "You can't even beat me, so don't overestimate yourselves and go looking for them."
Ludwig jumped up: "What do you mean you can't even beat you—"
Di-
"Hmph, I hate talking to humans the most."
Ludwig shrank back under the covers.
"Coco, wake me up later, okay? I'm going to take an afternoon nap, hehe..."
"We booked an afternoon flight, did you know?"
"I know, I'll go to sleep first."
"..."
"Get up!!"
...
...
Yin Shang hung up the phone, and he thought something seemed off.
"This vampire young lady's voice... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"
He then thought that maybe he had been watching too many of Xilulu's live streams lately, and now everyone's voice sounded like Xilulu's.
"Sigh, this"
I haven't even had time to play games for a while now; I bet she's furious.
...
After finishing his treatment in the alley, Yin Shang got up and walked outside.
Most church knights are far less convenient than Yin Shang. Yin Shang's ability to instantly heal with magic when not in combat is a major advantage. Even in a war of attrition, Reinhardt's endurance allows him to slowly wear down many monsters with weaker regeneration abilities.
It's as convenient as some game characters being able to restore their health simply by sitting down by a campfire.
However, if the energy expenditure is too high, Reinhardt will need to be fed a lot of food afterward to help it recover.
He arrived at the alley entrance and looked around. Not far away was the home of the girl named "Ye Liuli".
It is located in a residential area. Although you can't enter through the main gate, scaling walls and rooftops is not a difficult task for Yin Shang.
Once inside the neighborhood shrouded in night, he casually approached the Ye family's door and rang the doorbell, just like any other resident.
ding dong -- ding dong --
No one answered.
...
Just as Yin Shang was about to turn and leave, he suddenly froze on the spot.
"That makes sense, it's impossible for things to go so smoothly," he sighed.
At this moment, there was something on his neck.
The quiet corridor was dark and gloomy, with only the silver dagger less than a finger's width from his neck radiating a hint of autumn chill.
The newcomer didn't even stir up a gust of wind, nor did he utter a single breath.
Yin Shang, of course, did not move an inch. He sensed that the newcomer was no ordinary person.
With the Sword of Hesitation strapped to his back, he was undoubtedly in a dangerous blind spot. If he acted rashly, he would only face decapitation.
"Reinhardt, get ready."
sand...
The deathly silence was broken only when a gentle autumn breeze swept by.
Yin Shang suddenly delivered a backward elbow strike.
A muffled groan came from behind, and Yin Shang seized the opportunity to grab the wrist at the neck, flipping over and throwing him over his shoulder—
To his surprise, the attacker was surprisingly light!
pat!
Using Yin Shang's strength, the man lifted his leg and stepped on the ceiling. Then, with a twist, he broke free from Yin Shang's restraint.
"What--"
Yin Shang could only vaguely make out the person's outline in the darkness... it was a girl!
Yin Shang was amazed by her agile waist and movement ability. In an instant, she raised her dagger while suspended in mid-air and stabbed it towards Yin Shang's neck.
"Reinhardt!"
Yin Shang spun around and bent down, quickly conjuring a portion of holy armor on his wrist.
when!
The deadly and vicious blow was narrowly deflected, its force diminished.
“Reinhardt is of no help at all in fighting with a small dagger.”
He quickly analyzed the situation before him and then fought back against the girl who attacked again.
"I'm not afraid of unarmed combat either, come on."
Ding!Ding!
Cha——!
The friction between Yin Shang's gauntlets and the girl's dagger produced sparks and sounds that stood out starkly in the silent night.
Though there was no flash of blades, there was the shadow of swords. This silent exchange lasted only a moment before Yin Shang was once again held by the neck.
Boom!
"Okay, I lose."
Yin Shang surrendered.
The girl pressed him against the wall where there was no way to escape, and without any regard for the consequences, she used her body to press him down firmly.
"hiss..."
...
Meanwhile, the moonlight streaming through the window barely illuminated the dim corridor.
She raised her head, her blood-red eyes filled with hostility, reflecting the pale moonlight like jewels.
She leaned closer to sniff Yin Shang's neck.
"Sniff."
Yin Shang felt itchy from her breath and was about to resist
She tightened her grip on Yin Shang's arm even more.
"hiss."
She forcefully pressed down on Yin Shang's chin, staring intently at his face.
Another deathly silence.
Yin Shang blushed deeply. As a straight man who had never been in a relationship, where had he ever had such a long period of physical contact with a beautiful girl?
Moreover, being shorter than Yin Shang, she practically had to press her entire body against him to pin him against the wall. The soft touch of her body and the faint scent of her shampoo had already made Yin Shang extremely embarrassed.
His original intention was to soften his stance first in order to find out the girl's background, but he never expected her to get so close.
As Yin Shang was pondering a solution, the girl suddenly released him.
"Humph!"
She released Yin Shang with considerable dissatisfaction, twirled the dagger in her hand a few times, then wiped it at her waist and disappeared into her clothes.
"He's a church knight, not a bug sent by the corporation."
She brushed her disheveled hair behind her ear, leaned against the stair railing, and stared sideways at Yin Shang.
"You have the aura of a vampire that doesn't belong to humans, and you still dare to do such a thing. Don't blame me for wanting to cut off your neck."
Yin Shang said, "Can vampires smell the scent of their own kind? But unfortunately, at least I am still human now."
The girl let out an unfriendly hissing sound.
"Hiss... Enough with the nonsense. If it weren't for the deal with the Order of the Church that forbade me from attacking you knights, I would have already cut off your head."
Yin Shang was completely bewildered: "No, what did I do that you want to kill me?"
She pointed to the tightly closed door of a neighbor's house and said, "You've been sneaking around knocking on my door like a group of bedbugs. It's only natural that I'd bleed you a little, just like I bleed those bedbugs, right?"
Yin Shang suddenly realized: "So... you're from the Vampire Council—"
She snorted, surprised that this guy knew who she was; he had clearly come prepared.
She stood in front of Yin Shang, casually placing one hand on her hip.
Her long, jet-black hair was streaked with silver strands, likely a side effect of vampire transformation, but her youthful appearance remained undiminished.
Yin Shang had never received a photo of her, but now he knew the identity of the girl in front of him.
“That’s right, I am Ye Liuli, the captain of the vampire clan’s secret unit, ‘Blood Shadow’.”
As the girl spoke, she pressed Yin Shang, who had secretly taken two steps toward the stairs, back against the wall.
Bang!
"Don't try anything funny, human, if you think you can beat me with that sword."
She moved closer to Yin Shang's face, her beautiful, alluring ruby-like eyes staring intently at him with a dead fish-like expression.
"You called me, is there something you need?"
...
Yin Shang has been feeling unlucky lately.
Why does he keep running into one vampire woman after another lately, and they're all weirdos with some kind of mental issues?
Yin Shang felt that he should see a doctor when he had more free time.
...
Health Tip: Vampire phobia – a mental illness caused by the inability to adapt to daily interactions with vampires. However, as long as the sufferer stays away from vampires, it's as if nothing is wrong.
Chapter 55 Liuli
The girl blocking Yin Shang's way, though heroic and spirited, had an undisguised sense of dejection in her eyes.
She prevented Yin Shang from leaving by any means, determined to make him return everything before she would be satisfied.
"Okay, okay, I'll talk, could you please let me go first—"
"You speak first."
"Let me go first."
"Cut the nonsense."
