Chapter 109 Sacrifice? No, it’s Knight! (Part 1)
“Oh? Is that so? Then follow me.”
William, the man with that name, smiled elegantly, put on his hat, and glanced deeply behind Su Jiu. The moment he turned, his eyelids twitched slightly.
A rose, blood-red, like blood flowing through veins—if it were caused by an alchemical item, shouldn’t it be a mark of a small black dagger?
According to that dead pig, she shouldn’t have a Battle General. Did she become a vampire after obtaining an alchemical item from Count Rose?
Lilith probably didn’t realize that the other party was already a vampire and was foolishly using alchemical items on them—speaking of which, Lord Andrew probably didn’t give her any alchemical items, right?
“Thump thump!” The footsteps of three people echoed in the corridor.
“Miss, are you really from a nearby high school? You seem very mature,” William asked, his voice possessing a certain magnetism that seemed to have a mind-controlling effect.
“Could this be fake? Didn’t Manager Liu see it? By the way, is Lord Andrew also over by the stage?”
As expected, unlike Huang Erhua, who is a half-baked individual, he noticed something was wrong. He’s actually using psychic attacks on me.
The blue light of the hairpin in Su Jiu’s hair glowed faintly, feeling slightly warm. She glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, her gaze fell on the next intersection, and a flash of red light flickered in her eyes.
Should I kill him? He feels far inferior to Youyou, but judging by Huang Erhua’s respect, he should be at the Battle General level.
“Of course, she’s over there with a group of Big Shots anticipating the performance,” William replied nonchalantly.
“Everyone is here? That truly is flattering.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu’s eyes gleamed, and her fingertips lightly rubbed together.
While the two were probing each other, William had already turned the corner. He was uncertain if his psychic attack had any effect on her. He said, “Do you know Madam Rose? She’s an old friend of mine. The pattern on your hand looks very much like that of her admirer.”
If the other party was that person’s subordinate, they would undoubtedly be very angry at his disrespect, as vampires are very respectful of elders.
“Who is Count Rose? Is she related to Lord Andrew? My hand? That’s just a tattoo, a silly thing I got when I was younger.”
Su Jiu’s expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly. Several long fingernails emerged from her wide sleeves, faintly emitting a reddish-green glow.
“Could I be too suspicious? Is she really just an ordinary high school student?”
William looked puzzled and was about to ask something else.
“Ouch! These leather shoes seem too big, I’ve twisted my ankle.”
At the corner of the岔路 (chàlù – fork in the road), Su Jiu’s voice suddenly echoed in the other corridor, with a faint reverberation.
“A vampire, how could she twist her ankle? Don’t delay the performance for those adults.”
Upon reaching the corner, he glanced at Huang Erhua, who stood like a wooden man, frowned, and slowly approached Su Jiu, who was squatting and covering her leg.
“Take off your boots, let me see.”
William quickly tried to go over to check. Just one meter away from her, he found Su Jiu’s whole head buried in her skirt, and he sighed somewhat speechlessly, “You girls from Dragon Country are so delicate… You.”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Jiu’s blood-red eyes suddenly lifted, followed by five fingers emitting a red stream of light. Her fingertips easily pierced his throat, and blood splashed everywhere.
“Screech!”
William looked ahead in disbelief. This speed and explosiveness were not that of a Warrior Class. It was too late for him to turn into a bat and escape. The black dagger insignia on his neck flashed slightly, and he fell silent.
Because Su Jiu then opened her fingers, instantly splitting his entire neck in two. Watching him “thump” to the ground, she then turned to look at the stunned Huang Erhua behind her and said coldly:
“Take me directly through the stage.”
Then she took out her phone and saw that Youyou had already replied—
[The main force is arguing with the government over there. This chain of geisha houses is equivalent to a large multinational corporation. Without conclusive evidence, the Night Watcher cannot act rashly, as it would affect the relationship between the two countries.]
[But I’ve already sent someone to rush over. See if you can obtain any useful information. The previous argument might have alerted them.]
Su Jiu closed her phone, typed “Okay,” and, led by Huang Erhua, arrived at the VIP stage area backstage. The security guards, seeing that it was Huang Erhua, didn’t dare to say much and let her pass directly.
Because Erhua was extremely frightened, she volunteered to clear the way ahead. The two were like mistress and servant, and in terms of bloodline, that was indeed the case.
The girls wearing clothes similar to Su Jiu’s looked at them with envy. In their eyes, Su Jiu could bypass the performance and become a gilded canary for that mysterious adult.
The two walked through the corridor as if no one were around, pushing open the side entrance to the VIP seating area.
The conversations inside were very quiet, as if everyone was watching the performance on stage. However, nearly 80% of the seats in the VIP area were occupied, even though it was currently during the Siren attack.
Su Jiu turned and looked far towards the stage at the very front. On the black wooden table were only two beautiful young women.
The woman wearing a black qipao and silver-white hair with a slightly retro look, perhaps that was Viscount Andrew?
She was fiddling with her phone, seemingly waiting for something, her expression somewhat serious.
The other, a girl in a yellow kimono, rested her chin on her hand, a faint smile on her face, like a traditional Cherry Blossom person, even wearing a Cherry Style Sword at her waist.
Behind them stood seven or eight male geishas in black kimonos, with solemn expressions, seemingly preventing anyone from approaching.
Looking at this setup, Su Jiu understood that this kimono-clad girl was likely the owner of this geisha house.
Because Huang Erhua was leading the way, no one blocked their path.
They soon arrived at the corridor of the back box. Looking at the row of Cherry Blossom lanterns hanging down and the black-kimono guards at the end, Su Jiu turned to Erhua and said, “Go busy yourself, don’t let those people get suspicious.”
After saying that, she swaggered in. But this time it was different. She pulled up the hair on both sides of her head, revealing pointed ears, and her fangs protruded slightly like tiger teeth.
Set against the Gothic Attire, she looked like a true noble of the blood, elegant and noble, which was incomparable to Huang Erhua.
“As long as I pretend to help Viscount Andrew with his work, those Cherry Blossom people probably won’t stop me.”
Just as she thought, Su Jiu stepped lightly, and the guards did not stop her at all. They bowed respectfully and fearfully in the Cherry Blossom style.
“Greetings, esteemed one. My name is…” She didn’t know how many times she had heard this greeting.
According to the route in her mind, Su Jiu walked along the corridor. The distance between the private rooms gradually increased. Finally, as she was about to enter a large private room filled with Cherry Blossom ambiance.
Two Black-clad Warriors wearing wooden swords blocked her path and said in broken English:
“Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from proceeding further.”
She secretly thought, as expected. Su Jiu’s expression was blank, and she said coldly in English, “Are you perhaps blocking guests invited by your master?”
Then she snorted coldly, and a slight chill emanated from her surroundings.
“This…”
Upon hearing this, the two Black-clad Warriors looked troubled. They were not clear about Su Jiu’s identity. Originally, they thought Su Jiu was just an ordinary subordinate of Andrew, but Su Jiu’s attitude made them hesitate.
Looking at their faces, Su Jiu felt that the experimental site was inside, and it was almost certain. She then said coldly, “Are you trying to cause problems with your master’s experiment?”
“⑴Ling Yi + Qi” Si Wu Jiu Si: Jiu Ba, are you Dr. Andrew’s assistant?”
Hearing this, the pupils of the two warriors trembled slightly. They glanced at each other and prepared to let her in directly. Such things could not be delayed. If the experiment went wrong, it would be a great sin.
“Doctor… approximately.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu narrowed her eyes, then nodded and was about to enter. This vampire viscount had something about him.
“Please wait a moment, that is… Miss, your Kewan card, can you show it?” one of the warriors suddenly called out to Su Jiu.
Hearing this, Su Jiu’s body slightly stiffened. She pulled back her eyelids and looked around. Perhaps because this was the residence of the Big Shot, there were not so many dense surveillance cameras.
Or perhaps because this was a secret location, they didn’t expect anyone to sneak in silently.
“Of course, you two come and take a look.”
Then her expression relaxed slightly, her fingernails gradually lengthened, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved. Forget about lurking, let’s just kill them!
