The drunkard's pupils flickered with a mixture of pain and fear,
His legs turned weak, unable to move.
He wanted to shout for help, but his neck was bitten, and his mouth was clamped shut by the sharp nails of the vampire wearing a duckbill cap.
The strong scent of blood gradually spread in the darkness of the night.
The vampire, who was already too weak to even walk, suddenly became vibrant, like a desert rejuvenated by a spring.
In the vampire's culinary repertoire, the blood of a pure and innocent girl is the sweetest! The blood of this middle-aged man, who is intoxicated, is far from delicious.
But in Su City, there are already quite a few demon hunters, and even humans are secretly investigating these abnormal creatures called vampires. The vampires' living space has been tightly suppressed.
When they are on the verge of starving to death, being able to drink warm human blood is already considered good enough!
Who cares if it's not sweet enough?
Why would you need a bicycle after having a mouthful of blood?
With the intake of fresh blood,
The vampire wearing the duckbill cap had crimson eyes! Its nails became longer and sharper! Clearly, the blood had significantly enhanced its combat power!
The vampire's craving for blood made it bury its head into the drunkard's neck, sucking fiercely.
Lost in the delicious taste of blood, the vampire suddenly felt a strong murderous intent behind it!
It's a demon hunter!!
Damn it! Those demon hunters never give up!
It is said that aside from using their own senses to detect the presence of vampires, demon hunters have also developed various high-tech tracking devices.
How infuriating!
They haven't drunk enough blood yet!
The vampire wearing the duckbill cap greedily glanced at the drunkard, torn between life, death, and food.
Abandoning the drunkard, the vampire concealed its vampiric features, adjusted the duckbill cap, put on a mask, and swiftly disappeared into the deepest part of the alley.
Su Xiyan, wearing Bluetooth earphones, maintained contact with her best friend Cheng Xinran.
Following the precise location sent by Cheng Xinran, Su Xiyan searched near the night market and finally found the exact position of the vampire.
However, when she arrived in the alley, the vampire had already escaped ahead of time.
In the vampire's attributes, a freshly fed vampire's insight becomes extremely agile for a short period of time! No wonder it slipped out of Su Xiyan's grasp!
Su Xiyan was furious!
The vampire that just escaped should be an intermediate-level vampire. It would have been great if she could have hunted it before it fed! A vampire in a hungry state would greatly weaken its combat power and become physically frail, making it the perfect time to hunt.
Unfortunately, she let it slip away!
Su Xiyan noticed an unconscious drunkard lying behind a big tree, emitting a vampire aura.
The area behind the big tree was often used as a toilet by drunkards. It was also a dark alley, and combined with the vampire's presence, the smell was simply indescribable.
Su Xiyan had a strong aversion to dirt and disgustingly covered her nose and mouth with her sleeve as she approached, frowning and examining the situation.
If this drunkard really got bitten by a vampire, then after he wakes up, it won't be long before he gradually turns into a vampire too.
The toxins in a vampire's teeth, just like those of a zombie, either kill the person or gradually assimilate the humans who haven't been killed into vampires.
The drunkard lay on the ground with wide terrified eyes, his pupils dilated.
Looking at the drunkard's still plump and full body, there was no trace of him looking like he had died after being drained of blood by a vampire.
Su Xiyan speculated that this drunkard probably had a serious heart condition and was scared to death by the vampire.
It's better to be dead than to become a vampire later.
Su Xiyan prepared to leave the alley when suddenly, she heard the creaking sound of a door opening behind her.
This alley was located behind the night market of the snack street. Some of the vendors in the front would create a back door in the wall for easy disposal of kitchen waste in the back alley.
Su Xiyan suddenly became nervous!
This was clearly a crime scene! If someone saw a person dead here, wouldn't she be considered a suspect?!
Even if she was cleared of suspicion after an investigation, there was a high possibility that her identity as a Demon Hunter would be discovered during the process!
Exposing her identity was a violation of the organization's rules for Demon Hunters!
What should she do??
She watched as the door was about to be opened and the person inside was about to come out!
At this moment, it was too late to set up a barrier!
Although Su Xiyan was a formidable first-rank Demon Hunter who could tear vampires apart without even blinking an eye, she was at a loss when facing ordinary humans and this dilemma of a crime scene.
In this critical moment, Su Xiyan's hand was grabbed by a warm palm, pulling her to hide behind the shadow of a tree.
Su Xiyan tried to break free, but the person's grip tightened.
The person had a reassuring height and agile movements, wearing a black hoodie and jeans. His face couldn't be clearly seen, and his voice was deep: "Come with me."
His palm was warm and solid, and his fingers were distinct.
In Su City, whether on main streets or small alleys, phoenix trees were planted everywhere.
It was said to stem from a promise made by a prominent figure to his beloved wife: "I heard you like phoenix trees, so I'll plant them all over the city."
The tall phoenix trees had sturdy branches and trunks, dense leaves that blocked the streetlights above.
In the darkness where the streetlights couldn't reach, Su Xiyan was led by the person in front, sticking close to the wall as they moved forward.
They arrived at a spot with an abandoned iron fence. The guy in the black hoodie finally released Su Xiyan's hand.
Bending down, he skillfully grabbed one of the fence bars and pulled it out from the railing.
After removing the bar, there was enough space for a person to squeeze through sideways.
Su Xiyan's hand still maintained the posture of being held, and her fingertips felt a slight chill.
She examined the back figure in the black hoodie and had a feeling of familiarity. Tentatively, she called out.
"Chen Shuo?"
Chen Shuo turned around, "Yeah?"
His face, hidden beneath a black hoodie, was handsome but with a hint of confusion. "What's the matter?"
Su Xiyan said, "Is it really you?"
"How did you end up here?"
Before Chen Shuo could answer Su Xiyan's question, they heard a scream coming from the alley followed by various cries for help.
It seemed that the drunkard who had died from fright had been discovered.
Without wasting any time, Chen Shuo reached out and grabbed Su Xiyan's hand, preparing to lead her away from the railing.
Su Xiyan instinctively pulled back her hand, hiding it inside the oversized sleeve of her hoodie.
Chen Shuo pinched the empty cuff of Su Xiyan's sleeve and led her to the side through a gap in the fence.
After securing the fence, Chen Shuo patted his hands in satisfaction. "Thank goodness, I have a secret passage."
Su Xiyan stared at Chen Shuo and asked coldly, "How did you know?"
With an expression of immense pride on his face, Chen Shuo said, "When I first arrived at Nanli University, there was a cybercafé here! I used to come out often to surf the internet and lose track of time. But I didn't dare enter through the main gate because they would take down my name. So, I discovered this secret passage."
Chen Shuo used his hand to outline the route for Su Xiyan. "You see, once you cross this wall, you'll be in the back mountain of Nanli University. Just follow along the edge of the wall, and you'll reach the campus. This area is not covered by surveillance cameras, so it's safe and no one will find out. That's why it's called a secret passage."
Looking at Chen Shuo, who was brimming with self-satisfaction, Su Xiyan's tone turned cold. "I'm asking you, how did you know I was here?"
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all."
