Zhao Ye had never left his shop before, but after leaving the shop yesterday, Zhao Ye completely let go and his activities were no longer limited to the shop.
Although the back alley has the word "alley" in its name, it is actually not a so-called "alley". The entire back alley is very large. Zhao Ye roughly estimated that it is at least as big as the city where he once lived.
Based on his communication with Vivian and Lin during this period, he knew that his current location should be a relatively "medium" area in the back alley. It was not a wealthy place and could not be called a rich area, but it was not particularly bad. Although there were many rats, it was still okay.
There is no need to rummage through garbage dumps, nor do you have to face many terrifying man-eating monsters. Although people still die everywhere every day, in terms of safety, it is already very good.
However, this does not mean that we don’t have to worry about “safety” here.
Zhao Ye came to the center of several tall buildings.
The nearby high-rise buildings look
It should have been the headquarters of a company. It is completely different from the area near Hanno store, which is overgrown with weeds and vines and looks extremely dilapidated. The several small buildings are built very neatly, with bright and clean exterior walls, making them particularly conspicuous and outstanding among the countless dilapidated huts.
However, even such a beautiful building is dotted with bloodstains and scratches. In addition, although it is bright and shiny, from the outside, it seems that there are not many people inside.
It should be around here.
Zhao Ye looked around, nodded, and walked in slowly.
In front of the door of this small building, there is a stone tablet with many scratches and bloodstains on it, and some yellow lumps. The name of the company is written on the stone tablet. Judging from the type of the name, it seems to be operating...
For ice cream?
Zhao Ye raised his eyebrows and stopped observing. He walked to the door of the company and gently tried to look inside through the glass door. The building was empty. Zhao Ye knocked on the door and waited for a long time. After making sure that no one responded to him, Zhao Ye slowly and forcefully pushed the door.
The door was pushed open easily.
Zhao Ye walked slowly into the small building.
There were actually people in the small building. In fact, when Zhao Ye walked in front of the small building, he had already been noticed by the "people" inside.
Of course, the "people" here are not ordinary people, but... blood demons!
On the second floor of the small building, in a room in the middle of the floor with their backs to the outside, several people were sitting alone in the room, communicating aloud.
The room was lit, making it exceptionally bright. Several people were sitting in the middle of the room, some leaning against the wall, some sitting on chairs, chatting happily.
In addition to them, there was a group of people standing blankly against the wall of the house, facing the wall, and next to them, several young people were holding buckets, not knowing what they were doing.
The only "commonality" that can be noticed is that no matter those who are guarding others or those who are chatting happily, they all have one common feature - they have a pair of bright red eyes.
"Heh, another idiot who wants to occupy an empty building." A man sitting on a chair leaned his head against the chair with his legs on the table and sighed.
"There are too many idiots." The woman leaning against the wall also snorted coldly, "Seeing a vacant company, they want to come in and try their luck, then pick up something to make a fortune...
Humph, how can such a good thing happen in the back alley? "
"Don't say that, Echo," the first person to speak continued, "Although these guys are stupid, they have provided enough blood for the family after all! We shouldn't laugh at them -
Besides, the back alleys are miserable everywhere..."
Echo sneered and ignored him. Then, she turned to look at the last companion at the table. The guy was holding a card and playing with it. This made Echo, who was originally interested, frown and get angry.
"Hey, is the woman on the card so pretty?!" She said in a bad tone, took a few steps forward, grabbed her companion's clothes, and looked quite annoyed. "You've been looking at this crappy card for dozens of minutes, and you're still looking at it?!"
"Ah?" The blood demon whose arm was grabbed looked back at Echo, stretched out his hand, forcibly pulled Echo's hand away, and then said, "Didn't I tell you not to touch your own people—
Also, this is not an ordinary [card]. I can feel that there is a strange power in this card."
"Hmph, something in the hands of a dirty guy..." Echo was very unhappy. After her hand was pulled away, she said indignantly, "That guy is not our blood descendant at all. She is a guy who became a blood demon by chance due to a strange phenomenon. What good stuff can she have in her hands!?"
“Aiko, you’re too radical.” The male blood demon who was sitting in a very arrogant posture couldn’t help but put his legs down when he heard her say that. He frowned and said, “The Elders have said that no matter if they are blood demons from our clan or those who accidentally became blood demons later, they are all from the same clan as us.
You should learn to accept..."
"Fellow tribe!?" Eco shouted in disbelief, "You want me to call someone who became a blood demon for some inexplicable reason, fellow tribe!?
That woman's head might suddenly turn into a balloon one day and explode with a bang - you call this kind of thing a fellow tribe member!?
I think that thing is a monster and should be killed!"
"Aiko, our clan has never been recognized by humans, and we shouldn't drive away people who are the same as us..." The man wanted to say more.
But at this moment, the blood demon who had just had an argument with Echo and had been looking at the card, who seemed to be the "captain", put down the card in his hand and looked at his companions, "No, Yutian, I think Echo is right. That kind of thing can't be called a blood demon at all. It neither has the patience of our clan nor abides by the traditions of our clan.
Many of these guys will attack ordinary people indiscriminately, causing our whereabouts to be known to more and more people.
If the female monster hadn't escaped quickly enough, I would have killed her long ago."
Upon hearing this, Yutian gave a helpless smile.
They are [Blood Demons], "creatures of darkness", but in reality, they are not afraid of light, but are only slightly afraid of running water.
The real reason is that they are very different from ordinary humans, so they are driven into the darkness by those "normal" humans, who reject these "abnormal" people.
Humanity.
Yutian also hated this kind of thing because he felt that he was no different from humans, he just needed blood to relieve his hunger and thirst. Aren't there cannibals everywhere in the city? Why do you want to exclude me just because I look different from you?
So, he joined the "Donglisi Family", a family of blood demons dedicated to bringing the blood demon to the surface and establishing normal communication with ordinary people. He wanted to stand in the sun again instead of continuing to be a mouse in the dark.
Can--
When a completely different kind of "Blood Demon" appeared, which was different from the "Blood Demon" clan's perception, the members of this Blood Demon clan actually rejected these new members like ordinary humans...
He just felt funny and a little disappointed.
Just as a few people were chatting animatedly, there was a knock on the door.
The many blood demons in the room immediately stopped their actions. The three higher-level blood demons quickly stood up, took out their weapons, and stared at the door.
"Bang bang bang-"
There was another knock on the door, and then the door was slowly pushed open. A man in white "knight's suit" gently pushed the door open, looked at the people in the room, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Good evening everyone. I'm sorry to bother you by coming here."
The three blood demons widened their eyes.
This person wasn't hypnotized by the hypnotic device in the building?!
This guy should have come to them on his own initiative!
The blood demons are ready for battle.
Zhaoye looked around the room.
The smell of blood is very strong.
"I'm Zhaoye, the manager of Hanno Board Game Shop." He glanced at the room, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the card on the table. "Okay. That's all the polite words.
I came here just out of curiosity, want to ask..."
Zhao Ye, who had a friendly face, slowly stopped smiling, his face gradually turned cold, and his tone suddenly became serious.
"Where did you steal the [Vampire Siren] from!?"
Chapter 36: The Choice of People and Cards
Cards, or Duel Spirits, are not just monsters, they also have their own "concepts".
Some cards symbolize sacrifice and help, while others symbolize the balance between light and darkness.
The Duelist builds the deck he wants, which is the Duelist's choice of cards.
It's not just people who choose cards, the cards also choose the owners they want.
Although the cards made by Zhao Ye are not from the "Elf World", these cards still have their own simple judgments.
These cards, which are different from ordinary copy cards, have certain simple judgments and will choose their holders according to their needs.
And apparently...
The vampire seductress, and her previous master, both made their own choices.
Time returns to early morning.
After barely getting enough sleep, Eudora forced herself to stay awake and returned to the casino to see if there was any chance to continue working.
Sadly her work is over.
It’s not that she was fired.
Mainly because the casino is gone.
Yesterday, the casino owner sent so many thugs, but almost all of them were "annihilated", and in the end a few people "mysteriously disappeared". He was furious, and completely ignored the situation and did not calm down. As a result, he failed to pay the "tax" in time, which angered the gang behind the casino. Today, he was blocked by the gang, and the entire casino, including those unlucky guys who were gambling in the casino, were all killed by this gang, and all their money was robbed.
In the end, there were almost no living creatures in the casino except for a few people who ran away when they saw that the situation was not good.
In the panic, Eudora lost her way and fell into a pile of corpses. She survived by pretending to be dead.
It is not clear whether her luck is good or bad.
The bad thing is that the place where she worked has been turned into a "meat grinder". Fortunately, although the gangs attacked this place, they did not deal with the corpses and were obviously not interested in the internal organs, so Eudora could pretend to be dead in peace.
When everything was quiet, she pressed a corpse with her left hand and slowly climbed out of the pile of corpses.
Her body was covered in blood, her left hand was pressing on a dead body, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva subconsciously.
At this time, she seemed to hear a voice, constantly speaking in her ear.
"Hurry up~"
"Hurry up~"
Blood was flowing everywhere. Eudora looked at the corpse and couldn't help but slowly stretch out her right hand, trying to transform it into a claw and tear off a piece of flesh from the corpse.
There's no one around anyway.
There are corpses everywhere here. It wouldn't be against human rights to attack them, right?
Eudora kept coughing and swallowing.
Just a small piece of meat, a little bit of blood vessels, can quench hunger and thirst. This may be wrong, but they are all dead anyway.
Rather than wasting it, you might as well just use it.
use……
No, no!
She suddenly
Shake your head.
No, no, I can't do this!
She suppressed her hunger and thirst, endured her fear, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with the back of her left hand.
call--
call--
After taking two deep breaths and coming to her senses, she realized that she had grabbed a card in her left hand without realizing it.
On the card, there is a woman sitting on the bed, one hand pressing on the bed, the other hand pointing forward, with bat wings on her back, looking very seductive.
[Vampire witch]?
Eudora looked at the word "vampire" and couldn't help but grit her teeth and hesitated for a moment.
It seems that the cards picked up from this person's body are the cards from Hanno's board game store.
Thinking of Zhaoye and Shiyue, her face turned even paler.
She put the card in her pocket, looked left and right, searched carefully, and turned the body over.
Maybe there's something left?
She picked up some things that might be useful, small changes, and some playing cards, dice, and the like.
And then, she stopped.
She is homeless.
She was at a loss.
What should she do?
She didn't know, she just packed up her things, put on her blood-stained dealer uniform, and left the casino reluctantly.
Maybe she could hide in the casino at night, but she had to go out during the day.
Otherwise, if you continue like this, you will just wait for death.
For some reason, she walked in a certain direction as if she had some feeling. As evening approached, she met some people, some... people who made her feel a little relaxed!
