75. Vampires
A horse-drawn cart carrying farm implements pulls up on the dirt road of a farm in the suburbs, and forensic doctor Dalloch jumps off the pile of straw behind the car.
He handed the coachman two copper coins, and without looking back, walked to a farm hut not far away.
Dalloc was a little groggy now, not because of lack of sleep or exhaustion, he was just in a hurry.
Based on what he knows about Rebecca and other security force personnel, because of the recent serial killings, it is likely that the security forces will start deploying patrols from the outskirts of the city tonight.
If the secret of his family is discovered, Darlock is sure that his end will be very miserable......
Ever since the Nilfgaard Empire ruled the Northern Continent, after decades of chaotic warfare and internal wars with the elves, the kingdom ruled by humans has begun to build a bullshit civilization......
Those who have read the original book of "The Witcher" must know that the Nilfgaard Empire is better than waging war against other countries, but they attach the most importance to order, war and conquest are also included, and the respect for law and court is simply not comparable to other countries.
So after Nilfgaard conquered Novigre, the city began to develop in a good direction.
And under the influence of this culture, a deformed product has emerged - the security forces that enforce the law impartially.
He cursed Rebecca, a group of people who were doing business, and walked into his farm in the suburbs.
Moonshine is sprinkled in the fields.
Layer the wheat with a layer of moss.
Darlock pushed open the farm's wooden fence, and the sound of the wood creaking was extra loud in the silence of the night.
At that moment, the sound of wheels and horses' hooves crushing the dirt was heard, drowning out all sounds.
Darlock looked back in alarm.
He saw a horse-drawn cart parked outside the farm.
The car smelled of foul odor.
It's like a smell that only comes when you mix all kinds of mismatched poisons.
The man in the top hat and carrying the "coffin" stepped out of the car, straightened his dark gray trench coat and walked over.
Dallock recognized the guy as a "third-rate detective" who had broken into the morgue not long ago.
He took a few steps back, put his hand on his waist, and felt the dagger.
Dead.
The good do not come.
"Mr. Dalot." Li Nuo pushed open the wooden door, he didn't wear a mask: "I went back again, and asked the security guards and the trainee coroner who temporarily replaced you, and they said......"
Dalot didn't mean to talk nonsense, he knew that the purpose of the other party's coming was definitely not a good thing.
"Leave my house, or I will shoot you on the principle of illegally entering someone else's territory." Dalot said in a deep voice that he had kept it that way to create a sense of oppression for everyone.
He turned to leave.
"They say that the deceased Vika had a key on him." Li Nuo let out a laugh: "Where's the key? Didn't you say you had a key? ”
Dalot froze in place.
Li Nuo: "Really?" ”
Dalot: "Huh? ”
"Where's the key?" As Leno asked, he raised his hand and used the [Seal of Axi] on Dalot, who was facing him.
The other party fell into a daze, and stood in place like a nerd.
"Where's Vika's key?" He asked again.
Dalot: "It's the butcher...... The butcher asked for payment and took the keys away......"
Butcher...... Li Nuo instantly thought of the task [Butcher of Blood].
He asked, "Where is the butcher?" ”
Diogo Dalot: "I don't know ......"
Li Nuo: "Who is the butcher?" ”
Diogo Dalot: "To give Vivien blood......
Knock –
Suddenly, Li Nuo's heartbeat produced a heavy feeling of falling.
At this moment, a woman walked out of the wooden house not far away.
"You're Vivien?" Li Nuo puts on the [Mask of the Emir].
In the footsteps of the woman walking, a string of data appeared:
[Vivian Carlagore]
[Level: Lv24]
[Danger: C]
[Strength: 37]
[reaction: 50]
[Spiritual Power: 21]
[Constitution: 40]
[Insight: 42]
[Medical: 71]
What terrible data.
Li Nuo was beating a drum in his heart, and he knew that the other party could have this kind of data, which meant that she was by no means human.
It's a vampire.
If nothing else, she can also transform.
"The last time I saw this seal, it was hundreds of years ago." Vivien walked over.
She has a petite face and "huge" eyes with a black sheen, and "sharp white fangs" hidden under her thin pale lips.
The skin is so pale that the hands look almost "transparent".
Shoulder-length black hair was unkempt, as if it had been blown by the wind.
She wore a flowing white skirt with a hem trailing behind her, moving with a light movement that left little to no trace.
"I didn't expect the witchers to exist." Vivien smiled, "Who gave you the deposit?" ”
"I want to know the key to that butcher and Vika." Li Nuo said.
"Haha...... Hahahaha, come in with me. Vivien turned her head and walked into the room, and as she walked, a singing ballad suddenly appeared in the night sky.
[The birds are silent with the night]
[The cow disappears with the day]
[But there is a soul that can't sleep peacefully]
【Fear of witches, demons, and ghouls】
[My baby Polly closes her eyes]
[Don't cry, fall asleep quickly]
[The Demon Hunter is fearless]
[Death for the bounty]
[He cuts you]
【Dissect you again】
[Peel you alive]
【Devouring You】
"God the system has a soundtrack!" Li Nuo stared ahead, holding the freshly made decoction in his hand.
[The decoction of the female night demon], he used the method of the witcher to extract the "mutation inducer" from the female night demon's brain, boiled it with dwarf spirits, white seagull, ghost needle mushroom, and water ghost's eyes, and then added three drops of mercury and two spoons of nitrate, and the finished product can be obtained.
This thing is poison, and only the Witcher's physique can adapt to it.
Open the cap and drink it all.
【Female Night Demon's Decoction】
[Quality: Normal]
[Toxicity: 30%]
[Brief description: With the passage of time, the strength value, spiritual power value, and physique value will become higher and higher, and after drinking the decoction for 2 minutes, the increase will reach the highest increase of 20%]
If the opponent is a player, you can press the opponent to the ground with a bottle of [Female Daredevil's Decoction] and play casually.
But the opponent is a vampire......
Vampires are at the top of the creature in The Witcher's worldview.
They are completely different from other monsters, the most terrifying kind, agile, deadly, and have great regenerative powers, and the Mirror Master is right, to fight vampires is to seek death for most players nowadays.
Li Nuo took out the [High Black Blood], and he hesitated.
"Drinking it will cause the vampire to flee, right?"
So, Li Nuo drank the [Bat Demon Decoction Potion] that was prepared in advance and could attack and restore blood, because it was temporarily boiled with medicinal roots, so the effect was only half of the usual, but it was enough.
Finally, Li Nuo took out the newly made explosives [Enhanced Dancing Star] from his coat pocket and hung it on the inner lining of his trench coat, the power of each of these things was equivalent to a bundle of Molotov cocktails that could explode.
"Okay......"
After waiting for the maximum effect of [Female Daredevil's Decoction] to trigger, Li Nuo knocked Darlock unconscious, and then walked into the wooden house.
The moment the door opened, a large amount of blood-thick smell came to my face.
Vivien stood in the room.
Facing the moonlight, she looked at Li Nuo.
"Why don't you take the mask off?" She asked, and then said, "Can I see your eyes?" It's been a long time since I've seen the eyes of a witcher, and I'm a little nostalgic. ”
Li Nuo asked rhetorically, "Can you let me see your internal organs?" ”
"Hah...... Ha ha...... Okay, you complete the task, and you can watch it at any time. Vivien looked behind him curiously, "Are you the only one?" I thought you'd get the people in the carriage to come too. ”
"If the bullets can't hit you, it doesn't matter how many people you call." After answering, Li Nuo asked, "Who is the butcher?" ”
"Vampires from Covell, in Novigre vampires can't be exposed to human eyes, I'm the same as him, and you, everyone else, no matter how many years they spend or can only hide in the gutter." A few strands of hair blocked half of Vivien's face: "Mr. Witcher, we can't expose it, if you're willing to open the net, just walk out of this room now, I promise not to hurt you." ”
Li Nuo looked around the room, he walked to the water tank, and from it he smelled a strong smell of blood.
"That butcher kills people, collects blood, and gives it to the forensic Dalloc to feed you?" Li Nuo shook his head: "I can't figure out the connection in the middle." ”
"Looks like you're not going to let go." Wei Wei An took off her white dress.
"Let me guess, you're a vampire banshee?" As he spoke, Li Nuo activated the [Inner Potential] to let the blood mist leak out of the pores.
Vampire Banshees, an offshoot of vampires, are gloomy and beautiful with pale and bloodless skin and dark hair, but are extremely deadly when they attack - they are extremely agile, emit dizzying screeching screams, and often seek out victims to be their lovers, as well as a constant source of supplies.
"Heh~"
Vivien chuckled and suddenly disappeared in place.
Vampire Banshees can move to another place in the blink of an eye, and they can use their invisibility abilities to confuse their opponents and surprise them or attack them from behind.
Dangerous!
Li Nuo's eyes were stunned, he twisted his body, turned sideways in mid-air, dodged the attack in a strange posture, and at the same time drew a meat saw, and the blade rubbed out a spark and transformed into a long knife and slashed back.
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the quiet room.
Vivien blocked the sawsaw with a pair of slender and sharp claws like beasts, and retreated several meters, clinging to the stairs, staring at the weapon in Lino's hand.
She seemed to sense the danger.
Pale cheeks bloodshot bulge.
The same pale face as the witcher opposite her, except that Li Nuo covered his face with a mask.
Vivien suddenly leapt to her feet and disappeared in the air, and Lino's ears moved.
The Vampire Banshee would use stealth and attack from all sides to break through the opponent's defenses, just like now, Leno used the [Quinn Seal] to block the attack, and the moment he retreated, he swung his sword to force Vivien's claws back.
The moment the sawsaw slashed, his wrist shook and the [Transformation Slash] was launched, and the moment the blade contracted, it cut Vivien's arm.
Li Nuo held the folding blade in his hand and continued to output quickly at close range.
His next move far exceeded the Banshee's expectations.
At the moment when Vivian was about to become invisible, Li Nuo suddenly lowered his body, half of his body shook, and chased after him!
With the splashing of wood slag from the old wooden floor, Vivian quickly retreated, and the moment she suddenly became invisible, Li Nuo's horizontal knife was transformed and slashed, and the moment the blade was held by Vivian, Li Nuo let go of the meat saw, picked up the [weapon box] and pulled it over!
Vivien immediately disappeared and appeared from behind, and Li Nuo took the meat saw back at the moment when his back was scratched, turned and slashed, forcing the other party back.
Controlling the distance, he suddenly stepped forward and stabbed as a false slash, taking advantage of the other party's trickery, he turned around and used a backward step, and at the same time retracted his knife and deformed and slashed, slashing Vivien's back with blood marks.
The Sawblade's "bleeding" properties triggered, and Vivien's wounds began to bubble out with dark, thick blood.
Li Nuo didn't stop moving, the whip leg swept, and was expected to be dodged by Vivien, and when the other party was invisible again, he suddenly strode forward and leaned on his shoulder!
He could feel the bump against a rock, and it was Vivien's face.
An elegant and white woman is embarrassed like a female drunkard at this moment.
Vivien gritted her teeth and waved her claws to stab suddenly, Li Nuo made a false shake in advance, slashed the knife and forced the opponent back, and the next moment used a meat saw to attack Vivien's chest directly.
At this moment, Vivian also rushed over like a ship, clawed Li Nuo in the abdomen, and the two of them each flew back a few meters.
Li Nuo clutched his abdomen, and a mouthful of blood came out of the corner of his mouth.
Vivien's vampire's self-healing ability was affected by the negative buff trigger of "Bleeding".
There was another key problem, Vivien had never seen anyone fight like this.
The witcher is good at swordsmanship.
But Li Nuo chose the [Unrestricted Fighting Technique], which may not have been popularized in this era, and was produced from the artificial combat method.
Vivien touched the knife mark on her chest, and licked her fingers with blood on it: "It's weird...... Your fighting style is not like any of the Witcher schools. ”
"Yes...... Li Nuo nodded his finger to calculate the time, and said, "My fighting skills are thanks to a woman who is much stronger than you." ”
"Huh~" Vivian laughed: "The main drama begins." ”
Li Nuo took off the [Emir's mask], and his vision became clearer, and his amber eyes glowed with golden light and shadow in the darkness.
At that moment, Vivien was invisible again.
But this time, it's different.
The top hat's danger warning told Leno that something terrible had appeared in the house.
"Ah——!h
A howl that broke through the air.
The sound wave hit Li Nuo and sent him flying!
The moment Vivien reappeared, she gave birth to shiny black membranous wings.
Her mouth was full of rows of needle-like fangs.
Rushing towards Li Nuo as fast as an arrow!
Such a terrifying figure left a slight trembling sense of fear in front of Li Nuo's retina.
It was a moment when he understood what the witcher named Geralt had been through.
If you will put the Turtle Sect Qigong in your hand now......
Li Nuo laughed.
Under Vivien's incredulous gaze, he smiled and twisted his body, and Vivien brushed half of his body and pushed it out, hitting the wall.
"What's so ridiculous?" Vivien asked.
"Look at the way you look, Rip Girl."
"I don't understand...... Why are you acting like a winner when you're already at a disadvantage? ”
Li Nuo rubbed his shoulders: "This is called strategic contempt for the enemy. ”
Vivien: "Shut up. ”
At the moment when Vivian suddenly rushed over, Li Nuo's head flashed to the side, his right hand turned and slashed with a meat saw, and his left hand took out the [High Black Blood] to bite through the bottle and let the glass ballast and the fishy potion enter his throat together!
At that moment, Vivien kicked the wall like lightning and threw Leno to the ground, opened her fanged mouth, and bit down on his neck!
[High Black Blood] had been digested by Li Nuo, and the thin blood mist that permeated his body turned black.
The fangs went into his neck.
Vivien inhaled a large amount of [Black Blood] that restrained the vampires.
In an instant, she blew up, covered her mouth and retreated.
Then she knelt down and kept spitting black blood foam.
Li Nuo stood in front of her.
The pale face was preceded by a system panel that only he could see.
[Toxicity 75%]

[HP reduced to 25%]
【Artificial Chip Near-Death Attack UPLv1: Triggered】
[HP reduced to 20%]
【Red Tearstone Ring: Trigger】
"What did you do......!" Vivien kept backing away, looking like a frightened beast at Li Nuo, who had red spots and black blood mist on his body.
"Count the health bar." Li Nuo replied with a smile.
[HP reduced to 10%]
【Remnant: Trigger】
[All Negative Buffs Clear]
[All ailments cleared, "Poisonous" status cleared]
