2. Gamble of fate

has been discovered, and the next activities, I'm afraid they can't continue normally.

It's about the threat of survival, and no one can escape the shackles of the emotion of fear. As a result, Claire became worried, and acting disguised as a "human" was her last resort, if it had lost its meaning due to the passage of time...... Then the hope of catching the murderer is even more slim.

No, maybe even your own life is threatened, because no matter how much you deny it, the body that seems to be an alarm clock that will urge you to eat at a fixed time is quite honest.

Claire was a little scared, though not something to be ashamed of. Running away in order to survive is a matter of course.

 ∞,a□nshu▽ba.; The heroic spirits who were still searching for them on the streets, from time to time pulled out the inhabitants of the night world from the dark corners, and the methods they made were also very simple - nailed sharp weapons to their hearts without hesitation, and watched the blood gush out.

The Heroic Spirits are just following Frey's orders, or rather, the Heroic Spirits are just trying to solve Frey's problems. No one is Frey in charge of this, and no one will know that Frey's current position is that she is so anxious about the vampire that she has fallen ill and looks emaciated.

She may have been too spicy, but no one had a right to blame her.

Claire tried her best to make herself calmer, the air in the street had begun to mix with the fragrance of blood, they were like evening primroses, swaying the fragrance at night, attracting one "human" after another to survive.

Of course, thanks to its suit, the essence of a vampire is gradually beginning to be revealed in Claire. It was also covered up. At least. If you don't come near the Heroic Spirits. Still won't be seen.

Persiphonene let herself go, I'm afraid she also had her considerations, but next time, she will definitely not have today's treatment. By that time......

I can't wait any longer, even if Nia's current position is hostile to her, I have to convince her to explain something. She must have some handle in the other party's hands to be so obedient.

Skillfully climbing over walls and choosing a silent path is probably the only benefit that comes with becoming a vampire. At least the strength of the body has been strengthened a lot.

Just when Claire didn't know whether to rejoice. When it was still time to be distressed, a dark shadow suddenly flashed not far ahead.

It's not a foreign body, no matter who it is, it's definitely black at night. The key is its actions.

Is it a vampire in the same position? If you have the same position, there's nothing to be afraid of.

It's coming...... But why...... This guy can't smell the sweet smell of blood in humans, and he doesn't have the stench of blood that his kind of people have.

"You ......"

Claire tried to ask, but the guy in front of her immediately blocked her mouth as if she were teleporting.

“...... To give you a chance, I want to be a vampire all the time. It's still a small chance to turn back into a human being. Take your pick. ”

"What ......"

"Hurry up and answer, I don't have any extra effort to spend with you. ”

The unpredictable fellow, by the moonlight, Claire could also see her cold face clearly, as if, where had she seen it, but the memory was really messed up by recent events.

Become human...... It can be understood that this vampire plague has finally found an antidote. But why say yes, bet on the odds of not much?

Even so...... This is a rare hope......

"The second. Claire steadied, "As long as there is hope." ”

"Of course there is hope. Though...... But it's good, you're the only 'human' I've found so far who is willing to be real. "At least you're better than those who continue to choose to be vampires in the corner because they're afraid of the word 'probability.'" Come with me...... The princess is waiting for you. ”

......

"Princess? ...... you mean?"

Walking through the streets at night with the woman in black, Claire didn't realize that her speed had far exceeded her previous speed, and now all she cared about was the word "antidote" in the temptation given by the woman who suddenly came.

"Another antidote...... Is it true?"

"That's right, it's the princess you thought of, and as for the authenticity of the antidote, I, Lucifer, don't bother to lie on such a question. ”

Lucifer lifted his hat, and finally brought back the memories that Claire had been hiding from his troubles.

Lucifer, who once made a fuss in the city just because she couldn't find Lilith, really won't make people forget.

...... Wait, no, she's not Lilith's side......

Lucifer...... Aren't you the demon next to Lilith?"

Claire stopped suddenly, because she had been told by the previous reasoning, and Lilith was the real culprit of the previous "Witch's Night", and Lucifer ......

"Why ...... You"

"It's not something you need to care about. ”

The fleeting look of complexity went unnoticed by Claire, who was in the midst of the chaos.

"I don't know how you found out...... However, please keep it a secret what you saw that night, and ...... Now the focus of your concern is not my business. ”

"Also, I don't have time to think about it that much. ”

Claire gave up, perhaps for the first time because of a bigger, existential obsession with abandoning her duties as a detective, and at a time when her life was already unwarranted, what qualifications did she have to pursue something more unlikely to know?

I'm just a little detective, and I shouldn't pursue events that don't fall within my knowledge.

"Hide. ”

After shouting at Claire, Lucifer burst out of the shadows, blocked the patrolling Immortal Poppy's eyes, and without hesitation, sent her back to Frey with his dagger. The flowing movement made Claire, who was secretly observing, look a little scared.

Obviously, they should be on a unified position, no, they are themselves, and they are also on the position of resisting the vampire plague. But in terms of means, it has been completely divided into three factions.

One is a group of "humans" like themselves, who have become vampires for helpless reasons and choose to struggle to survive while looking for a solution. One faction, like Princess Anne, chose to end the plague by researching the antidote and finding the "guinea pigs" who were actually yàn.

In the end, it is Dean Frey's approach, using the most fundamental, effective, and safest measures to completely eradicate this qiē.

Either way, there is nothing wrong with it, and it should be the culprit who started the plague.

"There should be no threat after that. ”

With the dagger back at her waist, Lucifer beckoned Claire to move on, "Don't be surprised, Frey's current actions are all just her personal actions. Her purpose was simply to search around for vampires who were insatiable and not satisfied with rationing blood and wandered around. I think you should accept it too, from the blood source provided by Nia Van Dyne. ”

"Ah...... Well. ”

Claire was obsessed, of course, there was no need to say anything about the fact that she had not drunk human blood so far.

But...... Did Princess Anne already know about Nia......?

"Nia Van Dyne's blood source is made up of ...... A friend of the princess's side offered in the name of the princess, so ...... If you still have the chance, go back and tell them vaguely, as long as you honestly accept the blood that is enough to sustain life, and don't go out and shake around, your life will not be in danger. Frey doesn't have the guts to go straight to Nia yet. ”

Really...... Why, Frey, knowing that Nia was a vampire, didn't come to the door directly. It seems that the contradiction between Princess Anne and Dean Frey has also reached a very deep level.

It's all because of ...... Lilith ...... bar.

"You don't need to know where the blood comes from, but it's not infinite after all. Therefore, the princess will be in a hurry to realize the 'antidote'. ”

Carrying Claire through the secluded path, Lucifer finally stopped in front of a mansion.

"The princess is there, go on your own. You're brave, so ...... I want you to be the first to come out. ”

“......”

The first person to come out, that is to say, the one who came before that...... No, now is not the time to think about that.

Time is running out to move, and if you continue to delay like this, you will end up like those idle vampires, enjoying the food that comes with their mouths open every day, waiting for redemption in the shadows, or waiting for death.

In this case, it is better to leave a qiē to fate. At this time, there is no need for evidence to reason about whether the antidote will be successful.

"I see. ”

"Finally...... I hope you don't blame the princess, whether you see it with your own eyes or experience it yourself. You and me...... None are eligible. (To be continued......)
