Even after Fangzheng spent five minutes explaining the situation to her, Gunzuka Wuyue still had a look of disbelief on her face.
But that was normal. Who would think that they would wake up as a dead person after returning home?
Although she did not want to believe it, the blood bag in front of her and the cold body had already told her the truth. Gunzuka Wuyue also tried to breathe, and found that she was indeed … not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating.
This caused her to fall into a state of sluggishness.
While Fangzheng was waiting for her to recover, he glanced at Elquete next to him and found that her eyes were also wide open in surprise.
"That's impossible …."
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Elqite, who looked like he had seen a ghost, Fangzheng frowned in confusion. The girl did not react in time to her sudden death, so it was understandable that she needed to be mentally prepared. But what was a vampire doing here?
"No, I mean … maybe she did deserve to die."
"Huh?"
What are you talking about, girl? It's not good for you to say that in our first meeting.
"No, I didn't mean that."
Elquete understood the look in Fangzheng's and Autumn Leaf's eyes and shook her hand.
"I mean … this human may have the potential to become a Death Apostle."
"Oh? How so? "
Hearing this topic, Fangzheng's interest was immediately piqued, and Elquete also spoke.
Elquete also said, "You should know that in the legends, vampires can turn other people into vampires, right?"
"Yes."
Autumn Leaf nodded. She had read some of the legends about vampires, so she was naturally clear about it. Elquete continued to explain.
"But in fact, this is just a way for humans to reduce our behavior. Not everyone can become a vampire. In this world, there are two types of vampires. Those who become vampires naturally are called True Ancestors, while those who become vampires later on are called Death Apostles. In the legends of humans, those who suck human blood, have servants, are afraid of sunlight, and can be cured are Death Apostles. As for True Ancestors …. "
As she spoke, Elquete raised her head proudly.
"Like me, I don't need to suck blood, I'm not afraid of sunlight, and I won't die even if I'm killed."
"So the vampire we're looking for belongs to the latter?"
"That's right."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Elquist nodded.
"Death Apostles are acquired, they are not vampires in the beginning, so they need to suck blood. Because they were not born immortal, in order to replenish their deteriorating genetic factors, they needed to ingest the cells and blood of others. Wasn't it the same for all creatures? Regardless of whether they were herbivores or carnivores, they would all die without nutrition. The same goes for Death Apostles. Their bodies start to deteriorate the moment they become Vampires, so they have no choice but to absorb other people's genetic factors to stabilize their bodies. "
Having said that, Elqite clapped his hands.
"What I'm about to say is that a vampire biting someone can turn them into a vampire, which is essentially both true and false."
"What do you mean?"
"Not everyone will become a vampire after being bitten. Otherwise, the world would have been occupied by vampires long ago. In fact, most people who die after their blood is sucked by a vampire will only become a low-level Death Apostle, or a zombie, ghoul, like the thing we saw in the alley before. It has no self-consciousness and only acts on the lowest level of instincts. "
"Ah, that …."
After hearing Elqit's explanation, Autumn Leaf nodded as if she suddenly understood.
"What about Death Apostles? They are usually existences that are given blood after being sucked by other Death Apostles …. Simply put, it's like a tree giving its seed to another person, letting its seed take root and germinate there. That's why Death Apostles attach great importance to bloodlines, and the one who gives the blood has absolute authority over the one who is given the blood. In fact, a few of the 27 Ancestors used magic to transform themselves into vampires, and some were given blood by the True Ancestors to become vampires. "
"I see …. Wait, this girl wasn't given blood by a Death Apostle, right?"
"That's right."
Seeing that Autumn Leaf had discovered her blind spot, Elquist proudly clapped his hands.
"That's the problem. Generally speaking, the prey will only be turned into a ghoul, which is the lowest level Death Apostle. But she was able to regain her consciousness in just a few hours …. This is not something any Death Apostle can do. At least, I've never heard of anyone who could successfully advance from a ghoul to a Death Apostle …. "
"Now that you mention it, it's a bit special."
After the discussion, everyone turned to look at Wuyue again. This time, Wuyue had finally accepted the fact that she was dead. After listening to Elquist's story, she had a complicated expression on her face. For a moment, she did not know what to say. After a long while, she finally managed to utter this sentence.
"That …. Can I go home?"
"Go home …. You can go back, but how do you explain this?"
"I, I said I accidentally got lost …."
"No, no, no."
Fangzheng waved his hand in the face of Wuyue's attitude as if she wanted to discuss with the kidnapper.
"I'm not talking about that. You heard what Elquist said. You're no longer a human, but a Death Apostle …. Or should I say, a vampire, understand? You have to drink blood every day, and you can't see the sun. If you do, you'll die …. How are you going to explain your current situation to your parents? And what if you suddenly act up and attack your family? "
"This …."
This time, Wuyue really had nothing to say. Indeed, it would be fine if it was just going home, but her current physique was extremely troublesome. She needed to drink blood and couldn't see the sun. Wuyue was sure that even if she went home and told her parents about this, her parents might not believe her. They might even drag her to the hospital for a check-up. If they went to the hospital ….
Oh my god, I won't be cut into pieces, right?!
Thinking of this, Wuyue suddenly became terrified. She believed that her family would not harm her, but sending her to the hospital was a different matter altogether!
"Forget it, we'll think about these troublesome things later. Let's do what we need to do now."
"What we need to do now?"
"That's right."
In response to Wuyue's question, Fangzheng nodded. She then looked at Elquist again.
"Elquist, you just said that a superior Death Apostle has absolute control over a subordinate. Can the subordinate sense the position of a superior Death Apostle?"
"Very likely."
At this moment, Elquist also knew what Fangzheng wanted to do.
"But her situation is a little special. She hasn't been given blood, so I can't be sure."
"It's okay. We'll know once we try."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng looked at Wuyue again.
"Little girl, do you want to find the vampire who killed you for revenge? If you do, close your eyes now and sense if there's anything special. "
"…."
Although she did not know what Fangzheng meant, Wuyue hesitated for a moment before obediently closing her eyes. Although she was a gentle and well-behaved girl, she was not so saintly that she would let go of the person who killed her.
After a while, she opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to point out the window.
"I, I don't know if that counts, but I feel a … very strange feeling over there."
"Let's go and take a look."
Without saying a word, Fangzheng grabbed Wuyue's collar. The next moment, accompanied by a scream, she jumped out of the window with Wuyue.
Nangong Wuyue was scared out of her wits at first, but when she saw Fangzheng leaping through the air, she came back to her senses after a while. After all, she was a dead person now. No matter how scared she was, her heart would not beat.
"Okay, where should we go next?"
"That way!"
Under Wuyue's guidance, Fangzheng turned a few directions in a row and came to what looked like an abandoned old house … Huh? Isn't this the Akiba house?
That vampire really knows how to find a place to hide!
Fangzheng turned on her personal terminal and scanned the place. The result was that she actually found the place. The vampire seemed to have not digested the blood he drank, so the infrared could see through him!
He was currently in an underground secret room next to the Akiba house … At least according to the radar.
According to the normal procedure, they should have entered the house to play Castle Terror by now, but for Fangzheng, she had a better solution.
Fangzheng raised her right hand and summoned Frostmourne. She grabbed Wuyue and jumped high into the air, then …
"Demacia!!"
"Ahhh —!!"
Accompanied by Fangzheng's roar and Wuyue's scream, the two of them landed heavily on the ground, broke through the obstacles, and rushed into the hidden secret room below.
"Rumble!!"
The thick ceiling cracked open. Fangzheng stood on the ground, raised the sword in her hand, and looked forward. Only then did she find herself in a dungeon-like place, with iron bars and chains around her. Not far in front of them, a man in a white shirt with messy hair was staring at them with wide eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the righteous magical girl, Red Ponytail."
Fangzheng waved Frostmourne in her hand.
"You're the Death Apostle named Roa, right? Did you kill this girl?"
"Girl?"
Perhaps Fangzheng's sudden descent from the sky was so sudden that Roa did not react for a while. When he heard Red Ponytail's words, he subconsciously glanced at Wuyue next to him and seemed to have a sudden realization.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect the prey to still be alive … Hahaha, but so what? Even the True Ancestor's Princess is no match for me. Do you think a magician like you can pose any threat to me? "
As he spoke, Roa took out a knife. At the same time, he opened his mouth, and his long tongue hung down from it.
"But that's fine too. I need more blood. Your blood … is mine …. Feel your death!"
As he roared, Roa's eyes suddenly widened. Then, Fangzheng saw his eyes change from their original colour to a strange, constantly spinning black. But the next moment … Roa's expression suddenly changed.
"Who, who are you? Why? Why can't I see your death?! "
Roa's expression was no longer as calm as before. When he activated the Mystic Eyes of Death, he was surprised to find that there were no Death Lines on the girl in front of him!
It was understandable if there was a problem with the Mystic Eyes, but Roa could clearly see the Death Lines on the prey around the red ponytail girl, but there were none on the girl in front of him!
"Why? Why … "
"Pfft."
However, before Roa could finish his words, Fangzheng's figure flashed. The next moment, Frostmourne passed through his body and nailed him to the wall.
"Okay, enough nonsense. You can die now … Don't worry, this time it's an eternal death."
"What do you mean? Wait, my soul, I … "
Hearing the words of the red ponytail girl, Roa suddenly felt that the situation was not good. Then, he was horrified to find that his soul was actually frozen!
This discovery was even more frightening than Roa realizing that he couldn't see the red ponytail's line of death. After all, the former could be said to be not entirely impossible. Although the Magic Eye of Death was very strong, what Roa got was not the complete one. But the latter was different. The reason why Roa was able to escape Elqet's pursuit so many times was because he could reincarnate his soul.
But now, his soul was frozen!
"No, no … Let me go … I can't die yet, I can't …"
"No."
However, in the face of Roa's struggle, Fangzheng just shook his head.
"You're already dead."
Following Fangzheng's words, a bone-piercing chill instantly entered Roa's body through Frostmourne. Then, the scorching first flame erupted again, turning the frozen corpse into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Fangzheng raised Frostmourne in his hand and looked at the blade. On the blade, the pure white soul was wailing and struggling, but soon, it was pulled by an invisible force into Frostmourne and disappeared without a trace.
It seemed that he was really dead this time.
