After Luo Wei swiftly dispatched the blood servant, a soft chuckle echoed from the depths of the dark alley.
"Mithril weapons, I see. It seems little Wei came well-prepared!"
"But that alone won't be enough~"
As she finished speaking, Luo Wei sensed the scent of blood growing stronger in the alley. Along with this bloody smell, a series of rustling sounds suddenly emerged from all around.
Luo Wei gripped his revolver tightly, carefully observing his surroundings.
In the pitch-black alley, numerous elongated shadows had appeared. Like hounds catching the scent of prey, they rapidly closed in on him from all directions.
One, two, three...
Six in total.
Mithril Bullets were extremely precious, and Luo Wei only had about a dozen of them.
If his aim was good enough, he might be able to fend off this wave of attackers. But he had no idea how many more Evelyn could summon.
Moreover, she was still lurking in the darkness, watching him...
Probably with a mocking smile on her face, eager to see her prey's final struggles.
Realizing this, Luo Wei became even more reluctant to waste bullets carelessly. He cautiously pressed himself against the alley wall, only firing when the blood servants charged within point-blank range.
Gunshots rang out in quick succession, the muzzle flashes briefly illuminating the darkness of the alley.
Two more blood servants were shot in the head, falling to the ground with inhuman shrieks.
Luo Wei mentally counted the remaining bullets in the cylinder, holding the gun in one hand while the other swiftly reached for his backpack.
He had to reload quickly, or else these creatures...
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a sound that made his scalp tingle suddenly appeared right above his head.
Luo Wei immediately looked up. The creature's mouth, full of uneven, disgusting fangs, was nearly touching his face.
A foul, blood-tinged odor assaulted his senses.
Damn it!
Luo Wei was so startled that he emptied his remaining bullets into the blood servant's head at point-blank range.
The Mithril Bullets instantly ignited its skull. The blood servant didn't even have time to let out a pained howl before it fell from the wall.
Luo Wei's heart was pounding. The environment and atmosphere felt just like a zombie game.
He hurriedly reloaded his revolver.
At the same time, a blood-red figure slowly materialized in the night mist.
"Little Wei's skills have improved quite a bit since a few days ago~"
"You've truly impressed your teacher!"
"However, my blood servants aren't disposable, so... it's time to end this farce."
Luo Wei's gaze turned cold. Without wasting words, he raised his reloaded gun and fired.
The bullet pierced through the mist, shooting into the distant darkness.
"Heh!"
Evelyn, who had once again vanished, reappeared at an unbelievable speed on Luo Wei's other side.
She sneered, "So eager to see your teacher dead?"
"How disappointing..."
This time, Luo Wei was shocked to find Evelyn's voice almost right next to his ear.
She was right behind him!
Luo Wei quickly turned around, but he was far too slow compared to Evelyn's speed.
With a sickening squelch.
Luo Wei suddenly felt an intense pain and found himself unable to move.
A blood-red spear had pierced through his shoulder blade and pinned him firmly to the wall behind.
He drew in a sharp breath from the pain.
Even the slightest movement sent unbearable, ripping sensations through his shoulder, nearly causing him to black out.
Evelyn, surrounded by a halo of blood mist, finally revealed herself before Luo Wei.
Luo Wei, his face deathly pale, fixed his gaze on her eyes.
Those dark green eyes held a hint of mocking laughter.
"I told you to behave, but you wouldn't listen. Look where that's gotten you!"
Seeing Luo Wei firmly pinned by the spear, completely incapable of resistance, Evelyn's smile deepened.
"Behave? So you can take me back and do whatever you want?" Luo Wei stared at her expressionlessly. "Do you think I'm stupid? Or has your brain been fried?"
"Hmph! Don't talk back to your teacher!" Evelyn suddenly pressed her hand hard against Luo Wei's wound.
Then, with a malicious expression, she watched expectantly for Luo Wei's reaction.
"You...!" Luo Wei was in too much pain to speak, completely unable to maintain his facade of calm indifference.
"Mm~ Much better now." Evelyn looked increasingly satisfied. "That's more like it!"
Only when she saw Luo Wei grimacing in agony, nearly passing out, did she finally remove her hand.
"Does it hurt?"
Evelyn leaned close to Luo Wei's ear, asking with a smile:
"Still want to argue with your teacher, little Wei?"
Luo Wei hung his head, large beads of sweat slowly trickling down, mingling with traces of blood as they dripped to the ground.
Evelyn gazed at Luo Wei's pitiful state, gently caressing his cheek with a hint of pity.
"There, there. Come home with teacher. If you behave, I won't torture you anymore~"
Luo Wei, still hanging his head, let out a low, hoarse chuckle.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Doesn't teacher need to ask for your consent? Otherwise, it would seem like I'm forcing my student. That wouldn't be good, would it?"
Luo Wei fell silent.
Seeing that Luo Wei was no longer acting so defiant, Evelyn reached out and snapped her fingers.
The solid spear made of blood mist instantly vanished. Luo Wei, leaning against the wall, collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
Evelyn moved to pull Luo Wei to his feet.
But at that moment, Luo Wei's body suddenly jerked.
Gritting his teeth, he swiftly caught the revolver that had nearly fallen from his grasp.
Luo Wei held the gun in his left hand, once again aiming the dark muzzle at Evelyn's head, this time from even closer range.
Evelyn showed a moment of surprise.
Luo Wei gave a cold smile. His repeated experiences with death and rebirth had long since stripped away his initial fear of dying.
His tolerance for pain had become astonishing.
As long as there was even the slightest chance, he wouldn't give up.
Luo Wei pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a gunshot rang out.
But unexpectedly, even at such close range, even with a Mithril Bullet that could restrain vampires, Evelyn still didn't die.
Luo Wei stared in shock at the changes occurring on her body.
A layer of dense blood energy floated over Evelyn's skin, like a thin veil that had significantly slowed the bullet's powerful kinetic energy.
The bullet hole in her forehead didn't rapidly burn and spread like it would on ordinary blood servants. The blackened, charred skin only extended to a certain point before stopping.
Evelyn now laughed coldly, her eyes instantly turning a grayish-white. She appeared like a corpse devoid of any life, exuding a heavy aura of death.
"Hehe, you've certainly got spirit... In that case..."
This shot had completely enraged her.
The blood mist surrounding her gradually coalesced, forming even more blood-red spears.
It seemed as if she was about to impale Luo Wei alive against the wall in an instant, turning him into a pincushion.
Luo Wei, who already had nowhere to run, clearly lost any possibility of counterattack after this shot.
Of course, he had only fired with a glimmer of hope to begin with.
The experiment's results showed that Mithril Bullets were ineffective against Evelyn. Her level was far higher than he had imagined.
To stand against Evelyn would clearly require much more preparation, but that was no longer a concern for tonight.
As the blood spears were about to strike, Luo Wei smiled—a calm, serene smile.
He had already pressed his revolver against his left temple.
When he decided to follow her into this alley of no return, he had already made up his mind. The situation from that night in the basement would not repeat itself.
He hated the feeling of being at someone else's mercy.
A gentle breeze ruffled Luo Wei's bangs as he smiled, as if he were the victor instead.
He suddenly thought that he might be the only person to wear such an arrogant expression while committing suicide.
The person before him showed a momentary look of shock and bewilderment.
It seemed she had never imagined he would be so crazy and resolute...
"Goodbye~ Teacher Evelyn."
A gunshot rang out, and the world once again plunged into darkness.
