[Li Nuo: Lv. 16]

[Strength: 30+3 (+6)]

[Reaction: 42+7+19]

[Spiritual Power: 30 (+3.8)]

[Constitution: 29+5 (+5.8)]

[Insight: 35+3+30]

[Medical: 1]

The first bonus is the bonus effect of the bound equipment.

The second plus is the stat value gain brought by [Remnant].

The plus sign in parentheses is the attribute value buff given by [Female Daredevil's Decoction].

The above is the current panel value of Linuo.

In this way, Li Nuo slowly took a step back.

Vivien suddenly erupted!

She pounced on Li Nuo, and in normal times, Li Nuo could only dodge at best.

But now that the insight value has exceeded 60, he seems to have seen the blind spot of Vivien's movements in an instant, and he quickly took a step back to dodge the attack, and pulled out a gun from his waist in an instant.

The gun had been borrowed from him and one of Marger's bodyguards.

The gun contains the Mercury Bullets obtained in the dream.

When Vivien disappeared again and struck from above, Leno raised his gun and pulled the trigger on her claws, as if he had a premonition.

Bang!

Vivien's shoulder was shattered by the swirling [Mercury Bullet]!

Suddenly exploded into a crimson blood-colored flower!

Vivien's body stiffened, and the injury to her shoulder affected her body, because the [Gun Reverse] was triggered!

Because the damage dealt also triggers the health regeneration property of [Bat Demon Decoction], [Blood Remnant] is turned off.

Li Nuo raised the meat saw, and the folding blade rubbed sparks in the dark room, transforming into a long knife full of sparse sharp teeth, and the blade slid into Vivien's chest in an instant, causing her wound to suddenly burst open with the momentum of [visceral crit]!

With a heart falling to the ground.

Vivien collapsed weakly.

[Obtained the "Vampire Banshee" Gwent card]

Li Nuo immediately turned off the [Inner Potential].

The 0.5 second of muscle weakness ends quickly.

At the same time, he took out the [High White Honey] and drank it, dissolved all the decoctions, and finally leaned against the wall, took out the blood medicine from the "Endless Corridor" and pierced it into his thigh.

When his health returned, he let out a sigh of relief.

"The way I fight is at the end of every time...... You can experience the feeling of being kicked......"

Lenovo stood up against the wall, holding a meat saw, ready to cut off Vivien's head, so that he could make a [Vampire Banshee's decoction] in the future.

But when he walked up to Vivien's body, he was suddenly stunned.

"What the hell is this......"

"I'll ......"

Vivien's body was covered with dense eyeballs......

And they're all alive.

Li Nuo had a bad intuition: "This old lady can't have sucked the blood of the ancient gods, right?" ”

……

Marjie was waiting in the farm yard and greeted Lino when he saw him come out and asked, "Win?" ”

"If you lose, you won't be able to get out." The first moment Li Nuo stepped out of the wooden house, he got a prompt from the system.

【Completed Side Quest: Blood】

[Reward: XP 3000, Marrow Ash*2, Avatar Blueprints of all players in Novigre City]

Li Nuo knocked open the panel.

The two [bone marrow ashes] have been obtained, and they are lying in the personal panel.

It also takes 6,000 XP points to reach level 17, and at this leveling rate, a script will normally be upgraded by two levels.

Those players above level 20 have done at least 6 or more scripted quests.

The more players who can reach this level quickly, the more they are experienced, have a backhand, and are good at killing people and goods.

Thinking about it this way, Li Nuo suddenly realized that he was a little sorry for the players who had not treated Novigre as human beings......

As for the "avatar drawings of all players", it has not yet been settled, and Li Nuo estimates that something will have to happen.

Maljie walked to the door and took a look: "Vampires? I remember that the high vampires of The Witcher can't be killed. ”

"The Witcher has its own premise of eating books, and you'd better not look closer, I suspect there's something wrong with Vivien's health." A few seconds after Li Nuo finished speaking, he heard Marjie's "vomit-".

A few minutes later, Li Nuo set the house on fire to prevent a bear child from passing by, and asked several bodyguards to stay behind to watch the scene from a distance.

He needed Vivien's body as proof.

He and Marger put Darlock in a carriage and set off for the city center while the moon was shining and no one was leaving.

"Hey, man."

Leno patted Darlock's face, and he clearly felt that the grandson was playing dead.

So the following conversation took place.

"Old horse, is there any left?"

"There are a lot."

"Feed him."

Dallock's eyes just opened.

Next, all interrogation is omitted.

Under Darlock's description, a story of the Blood Butcher, Keys, female vampires, serial murders, and blood and curses unfolds before Leno and Marger.

……

Vampire banshees are rarely found in the caves and caverns where most monsters often haunt them, instead wandering among deserted towns and ruins.

They are quite conscious of their safety, preferring to nest in places where they cannot be attacked, avoiding crowds, and only leaving their habitat at night.

But that's in the past.

In the original book, by the end of the story, most of the monsters brought by the intersection of the heavenly spheres were dead and hidden, and almost all that could be found were killed by the demon hunters.

After the death of the witcher Viselmir, the age of the witcher will never return.

With the widespread use of thermal weapons, monsters gradually lost their shelter.

The same goes for the days of the Vampire Banshees.

They were more cautious than they had ever been.

Some vampire banshees will find a man to be a lover, and their view of mate selection is often very specific - it can give them a sense of security, or it can give them a blood supply.

Once they find someone who can "fascinate them", the vampire banshee will use her "seduction" ability to control the other person's mind and do things for herself.

Dallock was chosen by Vivien as her "husband" because of his status as a "forensic doctor" who could obtain blood from the dead or the hospital at any time.

It was about two weeks ago.

After sucking fresh blood from the hospital, Vivien suddenly vomited an eyeball that night.

After that, Vivien's body underwent strange changes.

She sometimes has several eyes open on her back.

Sometimes a wriggling sphere appears in the lower abdomen.

It's as if she was parasitized by an eyeball.

It was an ancient curse that was gradually eroding her health.

A week ago, Vivien was approached by a vampire claiming to be from Covell.

The guy was covered and always kept a very cautious look.

He made a deal to Vivien.

"I'll help you find the freshest, most delicious blood for you to recover, and I'll teach you how I can be a good vampire."

Dalloch described the vampire as a man.

Although he and Vivien are both vampires, they have a greater disregard for life.

After that, the Blood Butcher's serial killings broke out.

The butcher would give Darlock a lot of fresh, high-volume blood from the elite, and just yesterday he came to the morgue where Dallock worked.

The butcher saw a key placed next to Vika's corpse and suddenly asked Darlock for it.

Dallock didn't know why, but it didn't matter.

……

After knowing the context of the whole thing, Li Nuo and the others went to the area where the "butcher" would usually haunt.

On the pocket watch, it was 3 o'clock in the evening.

Not far from the morgue, in the middle of a dirt road, this is where Dallock and the butcher last met.

Here, Leno found what he was looking for.

He used the witcher's vision to notice an unusual, shimmering red footprint: "What kind of NPC would have worn a sole with a 'plus' pattern in 1850?" ”

"That's the player." Marje took out a hand-cranked flashlight and said with the light, "That Blood Butcher is a player, he is from Covel, claims to be a vampire, and can be recognized by Vivien, which means that he is indeed a vampire?" ”

"It can only be explained in this way, it is estimated that seeing Vika's key triggered the same 'legacy' mission as you." Leno observed the footprints, the red footprints that only he could see stretched into the central part of the city.

He looked up, and Marje was gone, as were the scattered pedestrians on the road.

Not far away, a familiar figure appeared.

Master of Mirrors.

Lenovo: "You're here. ”

Master Mirror didn't care about Li Nuo's tone, he walked over and said, "How long are you going to play this detective game?" ”

Li Nuo said: "This is not a game, I killed Vivien, is it time to settle the reward?" ”

Master Mirror took out a few portraits from his arms: "According to the agreement, in addition to the two of you, the portraits of the 10 Otherworldly Travelers who have survived until now. ”

"But you want me to mark everyone's location, it's hard to do, people move." Master Mirror smiled and said, "But I will make up for it in another way, such as ...... When you get close to each other, you will feel a sense of urgency and start paying attention to your surroundings. ”

"Okay." Li Nuo tucked the portrait into the lining of his trench coat.

Master Mirror turned and waved his hand, "I'm not going to interfere with the rest of the matter, don't let me down, Mr. Witcher." ”

"Mr. Ronald, wait a minute, is there something missing?" Li Nuo suddenly stopped the Mirror Master, and he said, "In the tavern on the outskirts of Novigre, you told me that the purpose of looking for me was originally to ask me to do something for you to repay you for taking me out of the dream, and you said that it happened in Novigre. ”

The Mirror Master turned his head.

Leno said, "Vivien, is that her?" ”

"Oh~ Tell me about it."

"You can read my memories."

"But I'd like to hear about it."

Li Nuo had no choice but to say: "Vivian, a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, can't tell the difference between the good and bad of the blood, which causes the body to be affected after sucking, and dense eyeballs appear in the body...... That's not normal, right? ”

He walked over to the railing on the side of the road, leaned over and continued, "Unless something many levels higher than her is affecting her, there are only two answers, you, or the Old God, but the radiation range of the Old God does not seem to have reached Novigre, and you have appeared in the dream world, and you are not interested in invading this world." The Old Gods are very angry, emotions can make you curious and exploratory, you used Vivien to do an experiment or something, I don't know the specifics, but you must have made a contract with her, but she broke the contract, so the purpose of you approaching me in the first place was to let me be a middleman to help you collect debts, just like you once asked Geralt to do. ”

"The witcher is the best debt collector, right?" Li Nuo finally asked.

The Mirror Master was silent for a few seconds, and then his eyes turned black for a moment, and when they turned back to normal eyes again, he smiled, "You surprised me. ”

"It's not a good development to surprise you."

"The first time I met Vivien, she was a vampire banshee on the verge of death, and I granted her request to find a man who could feed her blood and life forever." The Mirror Master shrugged his shoulders, "This kind of contract is simple and common, and my request is that at a certain time, Vivien will come and enter the dream realm as a 'puppet' to help me explore." ”

"But she broke the contract." Li Nuo said.

"Yes." Master Mirror bowed: "So I infused the curse from my dream into the blood she was about to drink, which is the price of breaking the contract, and what I ask you to do is no longer important." ”

"So...... Actually, I didn't help you either. ”

"But you can get an added benefit from your surprises." The Mirror Master took out a red gem, and when Li Nuo took it, the Mirror Master had already disappeared.

"You've been in a daze." Marger's voice woke him up.

Leno shook his head, felt for the pocket of his trench coat, and found the player's portrait and a red gem.

【Uncivilized Blood Gem】

[Quality: Normal]

[Effect: Uncivilized and unusable]

[Brief description: After my mother left me this gem, I jumped into the sea]

Marje: "...... this?" ”

"Blood gems, this kind of panel generally needs to be identified, but there is another way, I used it when I was playing games." Li Nuo put the blood gem on the ground and stepped on it vigorously.

The gemstone cracked, revealing a gemstone covered in spiral spikes sandwiched inside.

【Deep Blood Gem】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Gives the weapon with a hole "poison" attribute]

[Brief description: Why do you want to smash it!] Mom! 】

He picked up the gem and dragged it into his pocket, snapping his fingers, "Let's go, go to the butcher." ”

Just then, Maljay suddenly stopped, and he pulled the same player portrait out of his pocket......

"It seems that the Master of the Mirror ...... Leave the results of your agreement to all other players. ”

"Expected." Li Nuo didn't care.

Like before.

Master Mirror is a fun-loving wordplay person.

Leno and his agreement were: "Kill Vivien, and mark the portraits of all the Otherworldly Travelers in Novi Greil and the area they are in." And he paused before saying, "Then give me one." ”

The lag in the center of the prophecy is a loophole deliberately left for the mirror master's wordplay.

It can be understood as these two sentences, the front is a personal need, and the back is a request.

Li Nuo's sentence "give me a copy" can also be "give you a copy" by a text loophole.

He didn't say, "Just give me one."

This will make the Mirror Master available to all players.

Then, some players who want to survive and those who want to make trouble will inevitably run into each other.

And then the question they have to face is...... What will the officials do.

And the purpose of Li Nuo's detective game first came from meeting Sheriff Rebecca in the morgue.

On the premise that the other party already remembers him, completing the [Blood Butcher] case and the "Female Night Demon" case can take the first step to gain trust and gain official power.

And the next thing he has to do is catch the butcher that the player is pretending to be.

What makes him even more curious now is that the other party is a player from Covelle who is a vampire.

Leno remembered that Master Mirror had reminded him that Covelle was dangerous for the player...... This danger may come from vampires.

……

Meanwhile.

Covell.

Rainy night.

In the middle of the bustling neighborhood lies a nondescript building that is tucked away in the city's famous brothel.

And the person who runs this brothel is a vampire known as the "Queen of the Night".

Room on the third floor.

The Queen of the Night smokes her pipe and stares at the girl who broke into the room.

"Women are not welcome here, unless you're looking for a job."

Cha Bai lifted his hood and revealed a face that surprised even the Queen of the Night: "I'm pressed for time...... So there are some things that you have to ask now so that you won't be delayed for too long. ”

"Okay, let's talk."

"I've heard that you're one of the few vampires who are kind to humans," she said...... So I want to know from you...... Covelle's vampire, what's going on. ”
