Alice felt that she might have fallen into a trap.

Up to 30 feet farthest and up to 10 steps. The vampire's form was already exposed to Alice's gaze. As long as you stretch out your hand, a flame bullet, or a sun flame, you can easily drop it and capture it.

However, at the moment when Yang Yan was about to get rid of it, it disappeared.

That's right, it's the kind of disappearance in the literal sense, no sudden black fog, no inexplicable bright light, no sound, no visual effects, just disappear inexplicably and without warning.

It's like the vampire didn't exist in the first place.

But it had been there, and Alice remembered the feeling of the serpentine sword cutting through the skin of her arm, which was faint at first, but then turned into a dull stinging in an instant. With the sound of skin cracking, it is as if a string of thin needles have pierced into a blood vessel, and then made a mess of nearby physiological tissues.

This pain is so clear, so layered. This can never be illusory.

That fog walker can't be an illusion either.

"Who's doing this?" Alice twisted her neck and looked around.

She's angry now, very angry. Even when Loristed was killed, he wasn't as angry as he was now.

I finally made up my mind to do what I wanted to do, and I flew straight away!?

Are you kidding!?

She took several deep breaths before she could barely suppress the anger in her heart, lest she smash a powerful spell and spread her anger on the surrounding houses.

It was only now that she began to pay attention to the things around her.

It was supposed to be an aristocratic quarter, surrounded by elegant and stylish buildings, shaded by trees on both sides of the streets, and well-tended flower beds inside fences. It is clearly distinguished from the rough wooden houses in the port area and the market area.

There were a number of patrolling guards in the distance, and farther away were the lights and the faint sound of sirens - that should be the direction Alice had come from, so did that mean Jamila had notified the guards and had already started dealing with the vampires?

[This shouldn't be a problem for her.] 】

Alice turned her head back to the neighborhood.

"That house, seems a little strange?"

She looked at a courtyard not far away, which looked large, but it was also very old, with cyan parasitic vines and purple-red roses climbing over the quaint stone walls, and the garden behind the fence was a large area of lilac, which was particularly gorgeous in the light of the lamps hanging under the door number.

It's nightshade.

Alice knows that Nightshade is Mossar's logo, but she also knows that Nightshade is loved by dark creatures. When no visions were happening anywhere else, this was the most striking place of choice.

"Maybe I'm wrong. The monster may have disappeared through some kind of life-saving secret method. ”

Alice thought to herself, among the knowledge she had learned, vampires were a dark race with magical knowledge, and it was naturally impossible for a vampire in a high position to be without one or two hands of magic at the bottom of the box. But the Mistwalker was different, and even if it fell to a great disadvantage, it did not show any arcane power in the battle with Alice.

This can only point to two possibilities. First, it's an extremely special outlier among vampires. Second, it puts all of its magical talents on top of a single spell - escape, or stealth.

Alice leans more towards the second point.

"After all, they are afraid of death, and they are afraid of death, so they will naturally put more thought into saving themselves. But......" She tilted her head to look at the big house at the end of her sight.

[Even if it's just a 1 in 100 million possibility...... Maybe the vampire is hiding in that house?]

The girl hesitated, but finally jumped off the roof, sorted out her appearance, and then came to the door of the mansion and knocked on the door.

A minute later, the small window on the door suddenly opened, and a pair of scrutinizing eyes appeared behind the small window, making a stern and rigid female voice.

"Who are you?"

[It should be the maid here, if you are a wealthy nobleman...... The head maid?]

"I'm Alice and I'm a traveler. I'm tracking a badly injured vampire here, have you heard or seen anything out of the ordinary?"

The eyes immediately turned stern, and the voice under the door became sharp.

"There's nothing messy here, you can go back. ”

After saying that, the maid behind the door raised her hand, as if she wanted to close the sliding window.

[Ah...... was hostile. 】

Alice pursed her lips and said earnestly to the maid inside the door, "That vampire is seriously injured, and if it is left alone, maybe it will attack someone else to recover from its injuries." ”

"............" The maid hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Please allow me to go and ask the hostess first." ”

She then closed the small wooden window, and Alice heard a series of pointed boots tapping on the ground fade away.

About five minutes passed after that, and just as Alice was feeling a little impatient, the door finally opened.

"I beg your pardon, I have never seen a visitor like you visit at such a late hour. Where you are rude, I hope you will bear with me. The maid bowed to her and gave her a simple opening ceremony. "The hostess is waiting for you in the front hall. ”

"Well, nothing. Alice shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't care. Then she followed the maid's instructions into the courtyard.

The first thing I passed through was the corridor, the walls on both sides of the corridor were very new, it seemed to have been repaired recently, and the paintings on both sides were also of a more vivid color, and there were delicate knitted carpets on the floor, which looked very gorgeous.

[Feeling...... It's only recently been occupied...... I can smell the wood inside the furniture. 】

"The house looks like it's got a history. Alice said casually, "It must be a hassle to clean." ”

"It's not like that. The maid whispered, "In fact, the lady didn't buy this property until half a month ago, and it took more effort to clean it up the first time. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

[Not a few days before me...... What?]

Soon, the maid brought Alice into the hall, and she bowed deeply to the hostess of the room, and then retreated into the corner, as inconspicuous as a potted plant.

In fact, even if she stood still in the hall, Alice wouldn't notice her at the moment. For all the girl's attention was now focused on the woman in the center of the hall...... Give your full attention and hold your breath.

It was a richly dressed aristocratic lady, she had a girlish figure, and her golden-red eyes contained the vicissitudes of time. Her long, waterfall-like golden red hair hung down close to her waist. Her face ...... A veil of pearls covered her face.

She was as tall as Alice, and she stood on the steps, just in front of Alice's eyes.

"Elesis Minnie. She whispered, her voice as soft and melodious as the flow of a stream. "Miss Alice, you can call me Minnie. ”

【Good...... What beautiful eyes. 】

"Lady Elesis......" Alice stammered, an inexplicable throbbing that filled her heart so much that she could barely utter the whole thing.

"You can call me Minnie. "She added an accent to the word 'you'.

"Uh...... Lady Minnie. The girl was thrilled and quickly brought the topic to business: "I tracked down a high-level vampire, but it disappeared around here, so I wondered, can I ...... it?"

"No problem. ”

"Huh?"

"If there are vampires around, it is indeed not reassuring, so let me take you to check it out, Miss Alice. She turned her head to look at the maid in the shadows.

"Lijie, Miss will leave it to you. ”

The maid bowed slightly, and without saying a word, retreated into the shadows.

"Huh...... Is that really okay? We're just meeting for the first time......" Alice waved her hand, feeling like her head was in turmoil. "I mean, I can go and ...... myself"

"No problem. Minnie Mouse glanced at the sword on Alice's belt. "Aren't you a powerful warrior who can hunt down high vampires?" and what safer place in this manor than your side?"

"Huh, that ......"

Alice wanted to say something, but Minnie Mouse had already lifted the lantern and came to Alice's side.

"Please come with me. ”

".................." The girl's facial muscles twitched, then she sighed and followed without saying a word.

"This is the basement. - "There are no vampires here. ”

"This is the storage room. "It's safe here." ”

"It's the restaurant. —"Here...... You can't hide anyone......"

"This is my daughter's bedroom, ah, it shouldn't be a problem. - "No, not at all. ”

………………

Half an hour later, Minnie Mouse had taken Alice through almost all the places in the manor, and now, only the last room remained.

"This is my bedroom, Alice, you need to check it out. ”

"Uh...... I don't think so. ”

"No, this is theoretically the safest place, so naturally it is also the most dangerous place in theory, how can you not check it carefully? ”

Minnie Mouse pointed to the delicate dresser, to the expensive screen, to the ornate bed, and repeated.

"It has to be double-checked. ”

There is a confusing aroma in her bedroom, and the patterns painted on the carpet, on the walls, and on the screens are also full of a certain unclear atmosphere.

And when she walked to the side of the bed and pointed on tiptoe to various places, the impact on Alice was several times the bonus.

Gradually, the girl's eyes blurred.

[I want to ......]

[I want her ...... so much]

[I really want to be one with her......]

[She is my ......]

Suddenly, the scar on the girl's neck ached slightly, and a slight touch pulled her back into reality.

I don't know when, Minnie Mouse has been pressed to the side of the dresser, and the girl's hand is pressing on Minnie's shoulder, and the distance between the two is not even a foot.

She could feel the lady's breath and see the golden-red eyes full of confusion.

"Miss Alice?"

Alice withdrew her hand behind her back without changing her face. A short, slightly stiff voice came from her throat: "Hmm...... I'm sure you don't have any problems here, ma'am. Not...... Maybe the vampire was hiding somewhere else. Uh-huh, I've got to catch up with it. ”

"Well, I'm leaving. ”

She didn't wait for Minnie to reply, and left as if she were running away.

It wasn't until outside the manor, after making sure she was in a position where it was impossible for Minnie to observe, that Alice let out a long breath.

She was sweating profusely, and her heart was beating violently.

"Huh~~~Huh~~~"

"It's weird...... I, I don't remember...... I have such a fetish look. ”

She held her heart and felt the beating of the hot pillow. Little by little, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Am I actually a **?"
