Rovi Has No Way Out

"Miss?"

Luo Wei was startled when he heard the mysterious woman address Evelyn with such a respectful tone.

He suddenly recalled the jokes he had made earlier, when he had randomly guessed about her background.

A fallen noble lady? So he had actually guessed correctly?

Luo Wei was quite amazed, though at the moment, he had no time to dwell on such gossip, as this woman was clearly Evelyn's ally.

And a powerful one at that.

The wizard, who was now pinned under her foot, finally snapped out of his initial shock and let out an angry roar.

His gray-white, bloated muscles continued to expand, making his entire body grow even larger.

He roared and swung his claws, his violent struggles making the ground shake as he tried desperately to break free from the woman's restraint.

However, the woman's expression didn't change at all.

She merely glanced down at him.

"I'm speaking with the young miss, be quiet!"

Then came a casual punch.

With a thunderous boom, the wizard's massive head was instantly obliterated, leaving nothing behind, and his entire body caved in.

The wizard's roars abruptly ceased, and the night alley finally fell silent.

Everyone present was deeply shocked, especially Gerald, who stood directly across from them.

His lips trembled, and his cigarette fell to the ground.

His colleague, the "Wizard," had been a supernatural powerhouse far stronger than himself within the department, yet such a formidable being had been effortlessly killed, and the perpetrator had done it as naturally as if she were eating or drinking...

"Such power... such speed..."

"Could it be... a Vampire Count or an even higher noble?"

Fear flickered in Gerald's eyes as he nervously gripped his weapon and unconsciously stepped backward.

"How is this possible... how could a case of this level... involve powers of this magnitude..."

He muttered in disbelief, his previously confident demeanor completely replaced by anxiety and fear.

The mysterious woman merely glanced at him once before looking away.

She took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her hands, and then walked toward Evelyn with a smile.

"Young miss, how did you get involved in such a situation?"

"And to be targeted by both the Saint Callen Police Department and the Special Affairs Department?"

Evelyn's gaze deliberately wandered toward a certain spot on the factory's third floor before she lowered her head with a bitter smile.

"It's a long story, Annie. I didn't expect you to suddenly appear and help me, thank you..."

"This is simply my duty," Annie replied respectfully.

"Young miss, please come home with me. The master and madam are waiting for you."

"That matter... we'll discuss it later... I need to deal with the current trouble."

"Trouble?" Annie glanced at the hunter again, "Oh, right! You mean them."

She then smiled lightly, "The police aren't a concern, and as for these Special Affairs Department hunters, they're not much trouble either. If you'll come home with me, young miss, the family will easily resolve this for you."

"I said not to mention that anymore..." Evelyn said helplessly, "If you won't help, I'll handle it myself."

With that, she walked straight toward Gerald's position.

Seeing both vampires focusing on him, especially with that terrifyingly powerful woman present, Gerald's trembling became more violent, to the point where he could barely hold his gun steady.

"Don't, don't come any closer!!"

But Evelyn just smiled, as if mocking a pitiful prey in its death throes.

"Come any closer! Come any closer and I'll kill you!!"

As she approached step by step, Gerald's taut nerves finally snapped.

He fired his gun frantically in succession.

"Die! Damn vampire! Die, you pieces of trash! Die!!"

The blood-colored shadow vanished instantly, appearing behind him the next second.

A massive blood-colored scythe materialized.

As the blood-light flashed, blood gushed out like a fountain, and Gerald's body was cut in half at the waist.

It was a torturous way to die. Gerald's still-conscious upper body thrashed violently, internal organs spilling from the severed section, while his mouth released an extremely shrill scream.

Evelyn was indeed taking her revenge. She watched with interest until Gerald was completely dead, his face frozen in an expression of extreme agony, before finally raising her head in satisfaction.

Her grayish-white pupils returned to their usual dark green as she began searching through the dark factory.

...

One minute earlier.

At this time, Luo Wei was packing up, preparing to slip away.

When the wizard was casually killed by that woman, he knew everything was over, and there was no need to watch what happened next.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Indeed... if he was allowed to seek outside help, why couldn't others do the same?

The other side's reinforcement was of much higher quality than his own. The two so-called "supernatural powerhouses" that Police Chief Raymond had vouched for couldn't even last one round against that woman...

The entire strategy of "finding help" had failed prematurely.

Evelyn must hold a very high position in the vampire family. Although he didn't know why she had fallen to her current state, she could probably summon a bunch of such powerful beings with just a wave of her hand if she wanted to.

Luo Wei was indeed getting a headache from his vampire teacher, though it was completely different from dealing with Helena.

Teacher Evelyn... was rich and powerful (formerly), and much smarter than Helena. If it weren't for his habit of paying attention to details from his previous experience with puzzle games, he wouldn't have been able to see through her schemes so quickly...

Luo Wei slung his shoulder bag and took out his revolver, ready to leave the scene.

But when he turned around, he only saw Officer Leon crouching there trembling, while Police Chief Raymond was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is he?"

"The, the chief just left... without looking back..."

"Damn! How did he run away so fast?" Luo Wei was speechless. The butler-dressed woman hadn't even appeared yet, but Police Chief Raymond had already judged the situation was dire and fled?

"He must be... going to call for backup, right?" Officer Leon said cautiously, "The chief, he wouldn't abandon us, would he..."

Luo Wei gave him a helpless glance. Still too young...

Although he often mocked Raymond as a "useless chief" with no real abilities, to be fair, he did have two outstanding talents.

One was luck, the other was running away.

These excellent qualities were key to his survival through so many bizarre incidents.

Otherwise, how could a useless police chief with no supernatural powers have risen to his current position...

Luo Wei had no intention of escaping with Officer Leon. After giving him another glance, he took off running.

Behind him came a voice of sudden realization.

"So that's how it is..."

"Finally understand how the chief's previous assistants died..."

Luo Wei ran quickly through the dark abandoned factory. Before coming, he had studied the map of this area of the lower city and memorized the complex terrain.

After climbing over the wall and passing through two gang-controlled tavern streets, he should reach the lowest and most chaotic part of the lower city, a slum among slums, with the most complex terrain.

Once there... hiding should be quite easy.

The only hope now was that the bear-like Gerald could hold out a bit longer.

Little did he know that Gerald was so frightened he didn't even try to run, simply giving up...

Just as he reached the wall, a heavy smell of blood suddenly permeated the air.

Luo Wei's heart pounded.

It's over...

Evelyn, covered in blood and gore from the explosion, appeared before him with an odd look in her eyes.

"Little Wei~"

"Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"

Luo Wei was forced to stop, and looking at Evelyn with her rotting skin and blood-covered body, he gave an awkward smile.

"Huh? Teacher, why are you here? Is the fight over?"

He forced a smile and asked with concern, "Those people from earlier, were they your enemies? Teacher, you're badly injured..."

As he spoke, he made a motion to take out bandages to help dress her wounds.

But Evelyn gripped his wrist tightly, preventing him from moving.

"Teacher?" Luo Wei looked at her in confusion.

Evelyn didn't speak, just stared intently into his eyes, as if trying to see through his gaze into his very soul.

"Teacher, what are you..."

"My lady!"

At that moment, the woman dressed as a butler appeared before them.

Upon seeing Luo Wei clearly, her tone was quite surprised.

"My lady, is this the person you've been concerned about?"

"To think... he's a human? An ordinary human?"
