[You appear in the 'Prince Regent's Reception Room'. 】
[Behind the desk in front, the masked man is whispering to the young and handsome regent. He looks at you from time to time with a slightly surprised look on his face. 】
[You were bored and turned around to look at the environment in the house. 】
[On the four walls of this gorgeously decorated hall, there are several huge murals hanging, each of which uses the style of classical oil painting to depict the interaction of some characters. 】
[You looked at them in order, and soon discovered that the protagonist in these murals seemed to be Cain, the ancestor of the blood clan. 】
[A few simple paintings depict the story of Cain and Abel, as well as the passing god. The god showed a partial attitude towards the two brothers. In the end, Cain stabbed Abel to death, angered the god, and was cursed by the god. Exiled to a desperate place... This is almost the same as the story you spliced together from the ancestor's diary. 】
[But the story line of the mural in front of me does not end here, there is another painting behind it. 】
[In the last painting, a woman appeared, dressed in red like blood, with a noble temperament, and shrouded in holy light. Cain cried and knelt down in front of the woman, but the woman smiled, like a loving woman. Like a holy mother, she lifted him up...]
["Haha, interesting..." You were trying to figure out the meaning of the last painting when the Prince Regent suddenly laughed, stood up, clapped his hands and walked towards you. 】
"Although you were a little clever, I have to admit that you completed this task perfectly." The regent walked up to you with a smile and took out an exquisite jade bottle. 】
["This is the painstaking effort I promised you before. I will keep my promise." The regent handed the jade bottle to you. 】
[You have obtained 'Passive Blood'*1, generation number: 6 generations, which can be used to reduce the number of generations for vampires below 7 generations, containing blood law: unknown. 】
[At this time, the regent has spoken again: "In addition, you don't have to worry about Beverly's existence. I asked him to follow you purely for your safety. After all, you are now a celebrity and have attracted the attention of almost the entire clan. There are countless people who want to take action against you secretly..."]
[The Prince Regent looked at you with a smile: "Of course, I don't need to say more about how a smart person like you should handle yourself, so I won't beat around the bush. Let's be honest, I am very impressed by your 'talent'." If you are interested, join the royal family. I will promote you to be my right-hand man. Your status will not be lower than Beverly. At the same time, I will give you the best resources. As long as you join the royal family, I will escort you to the fourth generation the next day. vampire!"】
["Don't think that four generations is not high enough. In fact, in this city, the most powerful vampires are only three generations, and they can be counted on one hand. As for the first and second generation vampires, they have long since disappeared. .”]
Mu You looked at the series of guarantees given to him by the regent, raised his eyebrows, and asked questions in the game.
[You ask the regent, how do you plan to obtain your blood law? 】
The law of blood is supposed to be passed on only from lower generations to higher generations, and if the other party takes his heart blood, doesn't it mean that he will become his blood slave? Unless he is killed afterwards to remove the blood binding effect.
["About this, I naturally have my own way... Well, to show my sincerity, I can tell you in advance: I have a relic of the Blood God, which can purify the blood of the heart and eliminate the blood-binding effect. , In addition, I also have the ability to temporarily improve my algebra. The combination of these two things allows me to obtain your talent without any side effects without killing you. Unfortunately, this relic has a limit on the number of times. It can't be used easily, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait for you." The Regent said calmly. 】
["In addition, when you cooperate with me, you don't have to worry about burning bridges or burning rabbits. As the regent, my first priority is credibility. I will never do such a thing that destroys my reputation. In addition, , I actually know something about you..."]
["As for you outsiders, although there is a rule that is difficult to contend with, and I have been trying to modify my understanding, but after all, I have lived here for so many years, and I still feel something more or less: you outsiders Those who are here are actually just here to experience and will not stay here permanently, right? You will disappear in half a year at most. Since you will not threaten my position, I naturally do not need to take action against you, and you will even stay here. Within half a year, I will take the initiative to help you complete your training." The Regent said confidently. 】
"oh?"
Mu You was a little surprised. This regent actually had the meaning of an NPC awakening, but he was not fully awakened. He was vaguely aware of the fact that he was an NPC, but perhaps because of his high position, he did not intend to resist all this, but instead enjoyed himself. current situation.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You had to sigh. To be fair, the regent's conditions were actually very tempting. Not only would he be guaranteed to survive for more than half a year, but he would also be provided with the best support from all aspects. It can be said that this is a condition. It's a very smooth shortcut. As long as you agree, you can guarantee a risk-free clearance. If it were any other player, they probably wouldn't be able to resist agreeing.
It's a pity that the other party didn't know that there was also a 'Becoming a King' mode for clearing the level. He could become the vampire king in this city in a short time. Mu You had no time to stay, so he was forced to follow this mode. This was doomed for him. It is impossible to cooperate with this regent.
Of course, there is no need to explain it clearly here.
[You hesitate for a moment, then shake your head, indicating that you need to think about it. 】
"Of course. I'll welcome you at any time when you think about it clearly." The regent spoke confidently, believing that you will make a wise judgment in the end. 】
[After saying goodbye to the regent, you left the mansion alone...]
The text here says 'leaving alone', but Mu You estimates that the masked man must still be following.
Mu You even once doubted whether this masked man was the so-called 'administrator'. After all, the purpose of the administrator was to watch the show, and of course it would be best to be able to watch it at close range at any time.
Being followed by this person, Mu You was unable to perform many operations. At this time, it was already dark in the game, so he simply pulled the character to rest in the assigned apartment.
But in reality, he took the opportunity to go offline and go back home to catch up on some sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Mu You went downstairs and saw that the pet shop was deserted. Xiaoya Linxue and the others were not there, and there was no business. There was no liveliness at all.
Linglong stayed away all night last night and didn't know where she went. At this time, there were only two clones in the store: the herb collector and the watchman.
The herb picker was still sitting on the table by the window, lowering his head and poking at his cell phone intently. Even his movements were the same as yesterday. Mu You seriously suspected that he had been here all day and night.
As for the night watchman, he was sitting on the sofa with a Coke in his arms, petting the cat and watching TV.
"Tsk tsk, it's indeed Ami's style. It's too free..."
When Mu You approached, he happened to hear the sigh of the watchman. He looked up and saw international news was being broadcast on the TV. In a certain city in the Americas, a battered body was lying on the street. The dead body was obviously very tragic.
"No, I can't watch this because of my kindness, so let's change the channel... Well, the movies here are available on demand. Xiaoba, do you want to watch 'The Disaster of the Python' first, or the story of Fahai and White Snake?" Update The person said while pressing the remote control.
"Can you shut up? I just want to rest now!" Ju She's irritable voice rang in the man's head.
"Hey, wait, don't change the channel..." Mu You suddenly said.
"Huh? You're awake, main body!" The person who called the watcher turned around and saw Mu You.
Mu You, however, stared closely at the news on TV, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The report at this time was that the body of a young man was suddenly found on the street in a certain urban area in America. The death condition was quite tragic, as if it had been eaten by some kind of wild beast. It caused quite a stir in the local area and the police had cordoned off the situation. We have arrived at the scene and are investigating this.
This news suddenly reminded Mu You that the administrator seemed to have said something like 'You will see his body on the news the next day' yesterday.
Could this corpse be the boy from the game last night?
Because the coding on the TV was too thick, and it was not a big deal, the broadcast of only a few dozen seconds was quickly skipped, and Mu You had no time to distinguish it.
After thinking about it, he simply decided to go to the scene to see for himself.
As for flying to the other side of the earth, it is not difficult. Mu You had specially set up teleportation arrays under all the black holes before, and the location of the crime was not too far from the black holes in America.
Next, Mu You teleported directly to America, and as the ghost captain, explained his demands to the local official forces.
The US side naturally attaches great importance to this. Can we not pay attention to it? He is the world's best master, and his every move has attracted much attention. Now he suddenly comes to other people's territory and asks to see a corpse. It is really bizarre.
After Mu You explained the situation, the major forces in the Americas immediately started operating, all procedures were waived, and many people were arranged to 'accompany' him to the city where the crime occurred.
Two hours later, Mu You finally arrived in the city and saw the boy's body in a morgue not far from the crime scene.
"Look, Lord, this is the deceased. When we first discovered it, it was hung on the top of a clock tower. Because it was dark at the time, it took a long time for anyone to discover it. After we received the police, we immediately sent people to seal off the scene... ..." The police chief in charge of this case carefully explained the situation to Mu You.
"Has this person's identity been confirmed?" Mu You frowned and looked at the corpse in front of him.
The corpse does indeed look like that of a teenage child. His eyes are wide open, his face is pale, and he looks terrified. The two wounds on his chest look like they were torn apart by the fangs of a vampire. What’s even more bizarre is that there are no wounds on the wounds. A drop of blood, because the blood in the body has long been sucked out.
No matter how you look at it, this body is exactly the same as the death of the boy in the game last night.
"It's confirmed. It's a child who disappeared in our local area a few years ago. We opened a case for investigation that year, but unfortunately there was no result. In the end, we had to let it go. I didn't expect that he would suddenly show up today..."
The police chief explained the situation and couldn't help but look at the many local bosses following him. Then he looked at Mu You and said cautiously: "Master, do you know this kid?"
"Oh, I don't know him. It's just that I happened to see the news before and felt that this matter was a bit bizarre, so I came to take a look." Mu You explained casually.
"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Your excuse is too hasty. How could someone travel halfway around the world just to see an unknown corpse?
"Okay, please, please put away the deceased."
After Mu You briefly looked around the corpse, he waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Ah, Master, don't you need to go to the scene to see it again?" someone asked hurriedly.
"No need." Mu You waved his hand and was about to leave. He just came to confirm whether this person was the boy in the game. Now that he was basically sure of it, that was enough.
The police chief was stunned for a moment and hurriedly caught up with him: "Master, do you have any... uh, suggestions about this case?"
"Suggestions? No, I'm not here to investigate the case. Just do whatever you want to investigate." After Mu finished speaking, he declined the invitations and solicitations from others present, and flew directly away from the place and returned to the teleportation array. Send back home.
A group of people were left looking at each other, so people really just came to see the corpse?
As soon as Mu You left, the other dignitaries present had no reason to stay. After briefly chatting for a few words, they all left quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the morgue was empty, leaving only the police chief and the person in charge of the morgue.
"Chief, what about this body?" The person in charge looked at the Sheriff inquiringly.
"Put it away..." The sergeant smiled wryly and waved his hand. Then he remembered something and hurriedly ordered: "Oh, remember to keep it and don't let anyone get close! If there is anything unusual, please notify me immediately!"
"Yes." The person in charge put the body into the corpse cabinet and locked it.
After the two people left, the morgue became completely quiet.
However, no one noticed that shortly after the body was put into the morgue, in the freezer, the young man who had been considered dead by everyone suddenly opened his eyes...
…
Mu You didn't know what happened next in America. After returning home, he got into the game again.
[You wake up in the apartment...]
[You feel empty in your belly, and the strong sense of hunger is reminding you: you need to find a living person to eat as soon as possible, otherwise, in the starved state, your full attributes and blood law effects will be greatly reduced...]
【Do you want to go out for food immediately? 】
To be honest, it is quite troublesome for vampires to suck blood every day. Mu You had never had this problem before because he had a gargoyle that could automatically replenish his health every day.
It's a pity that the gargoyle cannot be embodied in this scene, and the daily blood-sucking here can only be done by him himself.
"no."
Mu You shook his head. The problem of blood sucking was easy. When it got dark, he could go out and squat in a corner for a while and he would be able to catch his prey.
The real problem now is the masked man. Being monitored by this guy 24 hours a day, Mu You feels uncomfortable doing anything.
But when it comes to getting rid of the other party, it seems that he really can't do it on his own...
[Your computer sounds an email reminder...]
Just when Mu You was thinking about how to break the game, a prompt suddenly popped up in the game.
Mu You didn't think much about it. He controlled the character and walked to the computer, opened the email and took a look.
["Are you worried about the monitor arranged by the Prince Regent? If so, come to the 'Chifeng Cemetery' right away. I can help you get rid of him."]
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned. He was just thinking about this when someone just sent him such an email. How could it be such a coincidence?
Mu You hurriedly glanced at the messenger: Catalina.
"Katerina..."
Mu You pondered, he had some impression of this name. When he first entered the scene, he met three vampires on the rooftop.
And Katarina is the woman among the three who wears a black robe and calls herself the "Death Raider" clan.
