Nia's house, though she doesn't come often, but this time, Claire still clearly feels the change, even if it's a change that is difficult to describe in words.

What do you say......? It's even more gloomy, though, considering that Nia has been in black for 10,000 years, it's not surprising.

In the yard, the figure of the young man was completely invisible, and Claire still vaguely remembered that there was once a handsome little brother who was watering flowers here, this shady scene had made Nia aggrieved for a long time, but today I didn't see her even during working hours.

Did he quit his job, or was it an unspoken rule? Now, apart from a few of the old servants of the Dragon's Clock, Claire barely saw any energetic faces.

The old grandmother who is watering the flowers with swaying steps, the old man who even feels hard to hold the scissors, the atmosphere here has become so dull, it feels like a ...... Lost as angry as it gets.

Most of them didn't even pay attention, they.

Fortunately, since I've been here before, I don't need any guidance. But when Claire pushed the door open, she was startled by what she saw inside.

It is true that Nia likes black all over the world, the clothes are black, the place where she lives is black, and the style of the room is mainly black, but ......

"This guy, is he studying some kind of witchcraft?"

Claire looked at the dark room, and if it weren't for the light coming in from the outside when she opened the door, she wouldn't even be able to see the road inside. There's nothing wrong with liking black, though. But it doesn't come to this. Nia's paranoia about black is a little too much.

"Nia?"

With the help of groping, Claire, who stumbles, finally arrives at Nia's room. Even with this shouting, there was no movement in the room.

I always feel that there is something quiet and scary, and besides, the house is still so dark, has Nia been researching some secret recently?

After discovering that the door was not locked, Claire cautiously pushed it open. With the help of a dim light that almost went out, Claire found her master in Nia's imposing chair. Dim and blurred lights. For a moment, Claire didn't even see Nia's face.

"Hey, Nia, don't you fail to solve the case and hide at home to escape from the enemy. ”

Claire frowned and looked around, the sunlight that could have been shining through the two huge floor-to-ceiling windows. At this time, it was also tightly covered by black curtains, and the lights in the room were dim, and Nia, like a decadent middle-aged uncle, sat there holding a goblet.

Wait a minute......

"Nia, hey, it's a wine bar, and you dare to drink as a detective?"

I wanted to rush forward to grab the goblet, but a chill from my back made Krell stop.

It's weird. Nia.

“...... Nia?"

"It's not wine...... I use tomato juice to pretend to be arrogant, do I need you to point me aside?"

With a feeble voice, Nia placed her glass on the table. Although the words that came out of her mouth were still so unforgiving, she always felt as listless as if she hadn't woken up today.

"Okay, good, tomato juice is tomato juice, anyway, I'm not your mother, I can't care about you. ”

In a hurry, Claire quickly said what she meant, "Nia. I suspect that there may have been an epidemic of infectious diseases in the city recently. ”

"Contagion?"

Unlike the previous listlessness, after listening to Claire's words. Nia was visibly more energetic, "What do you mean?"

"Just like the word suggests, an epidemic has begun, and if it sounds a little more ugly, it's something like a plague. ”

“...... Symptoms?"

"If I'm right, I think a bad cold should be the main symptom in the early stage, and I don't know what happened after that, but ...... Nia, Fei seems to have contracted such an infectious disease. ”

“......”

"Nia?"

Seeing that Nia didn't answer, Claire reminded, "If I can, I will determine the existence of the infectious disease in the next few days, and at that time, I will ask you to remind the people in the city, after all, you are very famous." ”

“......”

"Ahhh ”

Seeing that Nia didn't say anything as if she was asleep, Claire's own little patience dissipated, and to be honest, no one would have much patience to stay in such a place where the light couldn't even shine in.

This Nia, it's too much to like black, isn't she out of love?

"I'll go back, you detective, don't mess around here, goodbye. ”

【Bang】

"Infectious Diseases...... Hehe. ”

When the room was quiet again, Nyoa laughed as if laughing at herself, and at the same time blew out the candle that didn't emit much light, and the room was shrouded in darkness in the truest sense of the word.

"It's not funny, is it?"

In this darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes were exuding a seeping bloody light, "I guessed the infectious disease so quickly, she is really as smart as my sister said." ”

"Being smart is being mistaken by being smart. ”

Nia held her forehead sadly, because now, the room that should have been pitch black was as bright as a lamp in front of her eyes.

The little guy in front of him picked up his glass, sniffed it, and immediately put it on the table again.

"Bad smell, you guys, it's really sad to live. ”

"My sister, can her life be saved?"

"Hey, although her special antibodies once made the blood lose its original potency, but with her sister here, these are minor problems. ”

The girl spun in circles, "But on the other hand, Miss Nia, you should know how to do it, but when it comes to it, you don't have much choice, after all, survival is the most important thing." The servants you bit weren't honest people, but that's okay. I've got you covered. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

Nia replied coldly, and then fell silent.

Failed, I thought that if I simply let the servants who had bitten them escape, they would expose their own actions, and thus pull out the mastermind, but now it seems. The little guy in front of him is not a stupid person.

And...... I also seem to be a little unbearable. Or rather, I am afraid, afraid that my current situation will be made public. After all, everyone wants to live, let alone the current self. I also had to carry the life of my cousin, who came to visit me from afar.

Being smart is being mistaken by being smart, that's right, now this sentence can really describe your own state very appropriately. I detected the so-called "contagion" earlier than Claire's stupidity, but in order to be more convincing, I went to the rich man who had just moved in for help, but I begged for such an ending.

"Vampires, how long can you go without eating?"

Nia asked the little guy whose real name was Verard. I still have the tooth marks of this little guy on my neck, no. It should be two holes.

If you can, I really don't want to go to a servant anymore, though...... The taste of blood is really sweet in retrospect.

"Do you want to go on a hunger strike? Miss Nia, but it's useless, you dependents. As hunger deepens, consciousness becomes blurred. In the end, even if you don't want to bite, you will subconsciously, and when you smell blood, you will pounce on each other. ”

Villard laughed and said, "Of course, if you want to challenge our vampire's patience record, I can tell you too." ”

"Don't talk nonsense......"

"Endurance time is divided according to the level, and it doesn't matter if a pure-blood like me doesn't eat, it just feels uncomfortable. Your kind of dependents at a time, generally three days, you bite, the lucky ones who become dependents, will be shorter, they bite, and then the next level of low-level creatures, basically like human beings three meals a day, several times a day. ”

“......”

Vicious guy, no, although this Verard is not a good guy either, but most likely this time the mastermind is her mysterious sister. Bloodsucker...... The dependents who have bitten, although when they bite ordinary people again, the success rate of ordinary people who do not die but succeed in becoming dependents of the next level will decrease, but this is far more terrible than the plague.

The more subordinate the dependents, the more they need to eat, of course, the more frequent they are sucking blood, although biting ordinary people will turn them into dependents The success rate is also lower, but with the support of the base, the spread of this creature will be faster than the plague.

If you don't eat, you will be confused, and then act subconsciously. Although they are afraid of the sun during the day, they can forage for food at night, and they are more discreet at night.

Is her sister Alice trying to ruin the empire......?

"Are you going to denounce me? No problem, I can't be with you twenty-four hours anyway. It's just that your words are a bit credible now, you have to think about it, and besides, your sister ......"

"I didn't plan to do so, I'm going to rest, goodbye. ”

Yes, now I have no credibility at all.

Looking at Villad as she paced out the door, Nia clenched her fists.

Even if I go and talk to some people with real power, but how can I explain it? I can't even open the window to see the sun now, so I go to them for help at night and explain to them that there is a kind of guy who is afraid of the sun and can suck human blood to make trouble in the empire?

In that case, the first person to be arrested is himself. Even if they did, it wouldn't necessarily have any effect, after all, Alice and the others were so well disguised.

A generous family, talented and beautiful masters, two lovely daughters, handsome sons, and none of them are afraid of the sun, and no one will think of the word vampire.

His cousin's life, his own right to live, for these reasons, he can only compromise.

In Claire's words just now, it seems that a little clue has been revealed, I'm afraid that that guy in the Philippines is similar to himself, and most of the only person that Villard let go of is that stupid guy from Claire.

So you're a fool who calls yourself a detective, this time you're a little bit like a detective!

......

"Sister, I'm back. ”

After removing the black hat that was used to shield him from the sun, Villard slipped into Lilith's arms.

After all, the sun in the human world is still too hot, even if it will not be scorched by the sun like a dependent, but it will still feel uncomfortable.

"Fortunately, did you give the detective a good beating?"

"Of course, she has another life on her back, she won't do anything stupid, and she ......"

Villad paused, "Everyone wants to survive, and I don't believe she has the courage to die." ”

"Ah, Lilith's next assignment for me, can you change some cute girls?"

Barton on the side complained, "It's all middle-aged aunts, and it's really hard to be interested." ”

"I won't let you harm the little girl, and you deserve to bite the aunt. Lilith pouted, "And...... There is no need to find a target, so much is enough, and if the number continues, it is not something that can be justified by the reason of ...... 'infectious disease'. ”

The construction he proposed was to let Villad and her use the method of developing dependents to cause chaos in the empire. A small number of smart people need to be 'taught' by Verard himself, while most people only need to take a bite and erase the memories with a few hints. For example, "don't go to the doctor", "you're fine, you just need some rest", and so on.

If the family wants to bite again, the other party will definitely "die" first, and if you are lucky, you can still "resurrect" after a period of "death", of course, you can't be a human being. Villad had already arranged for his clan to keep an eye on a place that could be a cemetery, so that no fish would slip through the net. If there is a lucky person who crawls out of the purpose, he only needs to replace it with the one prepared by Xiao You, the one that has already been brainwashed, and the blank soul.

One qiē is perfect, and the other two, hoping not to disappoint yourself.

(Learning from the previous lessons, this time the detective made the mystery straightforward from the beginning, although it was a little white, but at least it won't collapse.) ）

(The retaliation action was officially launched, and the words ...... What if I don't feel like it's enough. (To be continued)
