Chapter 1: The Stranger of the Night

"Ahβ€”β€”!!h

Xiao Ya woke up from a coma and immediately let out a warning roar from his mouth.

She quickly rolled over and slammed her sword into her hands, looking around warily.

It was dark, surrounded by walls and dusty debris, except for a wooden staircase leading to the top, but the entrance was also sealed up, for not a single light had fallen into it.

It's quiet, no drums, no fighting, no screams......

Her consciousness gradually cleared up.

She suddenly realizedβ€”

And they succeeded!

Successfully escaped from the continent controlled by the "gods", and escaped from the never-ending pursuit!

She should have rejoiced,

But now there is only silence in her heart.

Because

Not only did Suyuki not follow, but even Fujino and Vivien, who had walked through the gate with her, were nowhere to be found......

She has become a person again......

Xiao Ye was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath.

Pitch-black armor evaporated from her body like mist, revealing her awkward, tattered dress, stained with blood.

Exhaustion surged like a frenzy, and the safety of the environment soothed her tense mind, and she fell to the ground without an image, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Ahem... Ahem......!!"

Sayo fanned the wind in front of her face with her left hand, fanning aside the dust that had been kicked up.

In this dark basement, her scarlet eyes were the only light.

She is feeling tired right now and she needs a little rest.

So she lay down slowly, and as her eyes closed, the space sank into darkness again.

With the sword still in her hand, she won't be confused.

She just needs a little rest before she can get back on her way.

go

Find them!

……

"Bang!

Xiao Ye woke up again to the sound of gunfire.

The basement was still so dark that it was impossible to tell if it was day or night.

Her scarlet eyes looked at the entrance above the staircase, her fingers tightening tighter and tighter.

The constant gunfire from the outside seemed to be telling her that the world was not so safe......

She sensed the state of her physical strength and the magic in her body, then got up and walked towards the stairs.

The shoes slammed on the wooden stairs and made a "squeak" sound as if they were overwhelmed.

The sealed entrance was vulnerable to the sharp blade of the magic sword, and she easily split the entrance and walked out of the basement.

Above the basement was a storeroom that was also piled up with all sorts of miscellaneous items, which were covered with dust, just like those in the basement, and had not been cleaned for a long time.

"Bang! bang!!"

"Don't come here, monster!"

"Ahβ€”β€”!h

After coming out of the basement, the sound of the outside world coming into her ears became clearer and more diverse.

In addition to the sound of gunfire, there are also senseless roars and human screams.

The world was still new to her, but at least two things were already certain: modern society and supernatural powers.

Xiao Ye walked out of the door of the storehouse, it should be about the fifteenth day of a certain month, and when he looked up, he could see a full moon, and the bright moonlight would illuminate the surroundings very clearly, if there were no guns and discordant roars and screams, it would have been a very good night, and the village shrouded in such moonlight would have been very quiet and peaceful.

But obviously, that's just if......

Because soon, even the "calm" in front of her was broken.

Hurried footsteps......

A man who looked like he was crashing was running towards her, no, on the run!

Because behind him, there is a walking corpse with a decomposing face that is chasing him.

Unfortunately, she was right in the direction they were heading.

Closer, the man running ahead saw the night walking out of the street from a distance.

Sayo saw him too.

Dressed in police equipment, a piece of flesh was torn from his left arm, blood flowed, his right hand held a gun against the wound on his left arm, and his face was full of horror.

She had expected him to continue to flee to her, using her to delay the walking corpse and buy him time to escape, and she had seen many examples.

Unexpectedly, after a short struggle, the man turned around suddenly, and even though his legs trembled with fear, he still did not run away, but held the gun in his right hand with his intact right arm and began to shoot, and shouted at the same time:

"Get out of here!"

"Run!!"

Xiao Ye looked at the man's tall back and the man's police uniform, was silent for a moment, and finally sighed deeply, bowed, and swords.

"That's why I can't let go of you humans. ”

Her jet-black eyes were crimson again, and in her eyes, the man's body was rapidly mutating around the wound on his bitten left arm.

Ghouls, a low-tier monster enslaved by vampires, are infectious.

There was no cure for her.

in other words

This man has been bitten, and he is hopeless!

It's a pity.

She had planned to behead the man together after he ran over......

Right now

"Whew-"

……

In the next moment, the man only felt a gust of wind blowing past him.

"Smack!"

In front of him, the monster's head was slapped like a watermelon.

Under the moon,

The girl turned around with a big sword in her hand, and her red eyes flashed with a glimmer of light looked at him, and at a glance she looked into the bottom of his heart.

The night breeze floated her long hair, and the monsters behind her gradually turned to ashes.

The tattered clothes hung on her body, revealing a large patch of blood-stained skin, but even so, the cold and bewitching overflowing from the girl's body still made him feel a shocking amazement.

"You ......"

He suddenly wanted to ask her name.

It must have been a beautiful encounter.

However, as soon as the girl opened her mouth, she pulled him back to the cold reality.

"You're going to die. ”

Man: "......"

……

Xiao Ye was a little puzzled, why did this brave policeman suddenly stare at her and was stunned, was it the joy of the rest of her life? she didn't want to give him such a false hope, it was too cruel.

"In a little while, you'll be a ghoul. ”

She confessed.

The man was pulled back to reality, and he looked at the girl in front of him with a big sword.

Black hair, black eyes.

Her clothes were torn, her exposed skin was not only covered with dried blood, but also dusty, and her face was dirty, as if she had splattered blood and then rolled in some dusty place.

The beautiful picture from before was like a dream......

No, he might have been dreaming just now.

"Food... Ghouls?"

He asked subconsciously.

Xiao Ye didn't answer, just glanced behind her.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The man opened his mouth, he knew what it was.

"I ......"

He tried to pull a wry smile on his face, but he couldn't succeed, death suppressed him, and he could feel his heart beating fast, as if it would jump out of his mouth in the next second.

He didn't want to die......

He doesn't want to die yet!

"Save ......"

"I'm sorry. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. ”

He sat down, looking weak.

"You seem to know them well?"

The man laboriously changed the magazine of the pistol with his right hand, ignoring the wound on his left arm that was bleeding from the water.

Xiao Ye replied, "I've killed a lot." ”

"That's right...... So, could you please do me a favor?"

The man finally changed the magazine, and he raised the pistol, his eyes obscure.

Xiao Ye looked at him calmly: "You say." ”

"I also have a junior who is also being hunted by those things, and he is a cute girl. Save her, if she's not hurt like I am, can you?"

"Yes. ”

"Yes? Thank you. ”

The corners of the man's mouth seemed to be hooked.

"Then, if you see what you need, take it directly from me, and take it as my payment for this request......"

"Bang!"

Gunshots.

The man lay down, the muzzle of the gun sliding from his temple with his arm.

Xiao Ye looked at the man who had committed suicide and shook his head.

Choosing to die as a human?

Then she stepped in front of him.

"β€”pay, is it?"

She looked at the corpse in front of her, which had not completely lost its vitality, and then opened her mouth wide and bit down on the man's neck.

'I took it!'

……

(Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~)

……

Luscious blood.

It is a good supplement to the physical strength she needs most now, and even the magic power reserves in her body have been somewhat restored.

The surging of the antiquities and blood in her body made her eyes involuntarily turn bright red colors again.

Standing up, Xiao Ye ripped off the torn clothes on her body, changed into a blue police uniform shirt and pants that she pulled from the man, inserted the pistol in the man's hand back into the holster on the belt of her pants, felt out his remaining two magazines and put them in her pocket, and she also found a lighter from his body.

It just so happens that you don't have to look for a fire source anymore.

Ghouls with only half of their heads still alive are all too common, and since men want to die as humans and don't want to become ghouls, the safest way is to incinerate them.

After doing this, Xiao Ye calmly looked in the direction the man had fled, and then turned in the opposite direction.

She has already received the payment, so naturally she has to complete the task left by the man!

- If his juniors haven't been bitten yet, save her!

She started running.

……

The other side.

"Huh... Ha... Hah..."

Silas Victoria was struggling to flee, her lungs burning with her rapid breathing, but despite her hard work, the shrill laughter still echoed in her ears all the time.

"Hahahahaha

Obviously wearing a priest's uniform that represents mercy, but laughing wildly like a cat and mouse, unhurriedly behind her.

"It's useless if you run again!"

So says the pastor.

Behind the pastor was her "companion" with a loaded gun, but instead of giving her hope, it made her feel more frightened and sad.

They're dead!!

Even though he was dead, he had come to exterminate the murderous priest, but after his death, he became a minion of the priest and dragged his still living companions into hell...... How sad.

"Escape...... Won't it fall off?"

Silas thought desperately.

But at this moment, the senior's face that was obviously scared to the point of collapse, but still made her feel very handsome, suddenly came to mind.

She suddenly wanted to laugh when she remembered that after her predecessor confessed in a trilling voice, she immediately shouted "You damn monsters are coming along" without waiting for her to answer.

"I'm sorry, senior, you're a good person. ”

She whispered.

And then there's ......

"That's probably all I have to do here, so, run, don't come back, senpai. ”

She jerked around, her arm holding the gun pointing steadily in the priest's direction, and fired!

"Bang! bang!"

Hit!

A glimmer of hope rose in Silas's heart.

'Dead?'

She stared at the priest closely.

The priest's body was shot backwards.

However, before she could smile on her face, she noticed that the priest, who was still a few meters away one moment, was already standing in front of her the next moment, looking at her with a smug smile.

"Give up, vampires won't be killed by guns!"

Without hesitation, the priest snatched the gun from Silas and threw it to his men.

Silas stared at the priest with wide eyes in horror, vampire?she thought subconsciously as she tried to dodge back, but was immediately pulled back by the priest's collar.

She tried to resist, but was easily suppressed by the priest and had his men control her from behind.

"Let go of me!"

Silas struggled to look back, but after seeing the vaguely familiar face, his body froze, and tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

"Captain......

She whispered.

However, the captain who has been transformed into a ghoul will never protect her as much as he did before.

Seeing this, the priest couldn't help but laugh again.

"Sure enough, no matter how many times I see this scene, I feel the same pleasure, hahahahaha-"

He tugged at Silas by the collar to bring her closer to him, his eyes grazing at her body.

The tight clothes made the charming twin peaks on Silas' chest more and more attractive, and the shame of being pulled like this also made Silas's face appear an abnormal red.

"Hey, hey!"

The priest smirked wickedly.

"Don't worry, because I don't want to create vampires with free will, I just want to be loyal to my slaves, so don't worry, you'll be reunited soon!Of course, although I don't think you're a virgin at your age anymore, but just in case, before sucking blood, let me test it myself, hahaha-"

Listening to the priest's description of the coming future, Silas refused in fear and anger.

"I don't want it!"

"You can't ...... this"

"Stop!"

At this moment, a third person's voice suddenly came from the outskirts of this deserted village, a rich man's voice.

"Have you had enough?"

The voice sounded not far behind the priest.

"The young people of the last days, really...... What is the difference between being morally degraded to such a point and being a thug on the street?"

The voice was slightly melancholy, but it made the pastor suddenly break out in a cold sweat, he had no idea when this man was standing behind him.

"Who are you?"

He hurriedly backed away, and the former captain who controlled Silas dragged her with them to their army of ghouls.

Under the crimson trench coat and crimson hat is a handsome face of an uncle wearing dim yellow toad glasses.

"The garbage disposal department of the secret service Hellsing, a professional killer who specializes in killing people like you, my name is ......"

"Ahh
