Joseph lay on the ground, looking at these two monsters from the Far East, not knowing what to say for a moment.
There was no way he could resist any longer and he could only lie there with his arms and legs spread out, waiting for their decision.
He had nothing to say, but Luo Wei had many things to confirm with him.
So with doubt in his mind, Luo Wei walked over to him and asked, "Did you attack me last week?"
Joseph shook his head repeatedly. “I am a peace-loving person. I will not fight with others, let alone attack them.”
"You better be."
Luo Wei glared at him and said, "Listen carefully, I'm talking about you, not just you. Is it possible that one of your brothers, cousins, or uncles did it?"
Joseph was stunned for a moment, "Why are they looking for you? Do they think you are a victim of blood sucking?"
"Victims? Those guys weren't looking for someone to suck their blood because they were hungry. They were looking for a fight with me on purpose. That's why I asked you this."
"Then he can't be one of ours." Joseph breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, are you so sure? Are you saying that the people who launched the attack were from the Red Emperor?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"Of course, because, well..."
Joseph sighed, his brows furrowed.
"It's really a child without a mother. It's a long story."
Snapped!
Yoon Soo-yi stepped on his face with his boot, "Who taught you to say those witty words?"
"How dare you do this to a noble descendant..."
Joseph was about to blurt out the words but swallowed them back because he knew that Yin Xiu didn't care who the other person was, whether they were blood relatives or not. If they didn't cooperate honestly, he would probably kick them to death.
"A brother of mine in the Far East taught me this, but he has gone to sell salted duck eggs now, so I won't mention it."
"I see."
Yin Xiu nodded, "Go ahead, no matter how long the talk is, we have the patience to listen. Just pour out your words, because the two of us are Dun Ling's most enthusiastic listeners."
Luo Wei also agreed: "Even if you talk for three days and three nights, we will listen, because we are the two most understanding listeners of Dunling."
[You'd better be]
Joseph sighed and talked about the recent changes in the situation and the major events that affected the dark world of Dunling.
“In fact, because of the truce agreement between the four major blood families and the balanced strength of everyone, the peace in the vampire world has actually been maintained for nearly a thousand years.
The four blood families of Nicholas, Dracula, Magnus and Vlad represent the entire vampire world.
At the base of each bloodline family, there are connections to many large and small families, like towering trees with their roots buried in the soil, intricate and intricate.
These vampire families have been annexing and attacking each other for years, but as I said, only the bloodline families represent the vampire world, so as long as there is no war between the four major families, no matter how chaotic it is below, the vampire world will still be peaceful.
However, this peaceful and prosperous scene was completely broken by the arrival of one person.
Yes, that’s the Red Emperor.
No one knows his specific origins, nor does anyone know whether the name "Red Emperor" is actually his own name or a code name given to him by others.
Anyway, he was a scary guy who destroyed several vampire families with lightning speed as soon as he appeared.
However, the earls did not pay much attention to him at that time, because the earls were immersed in their past successes and long-term stability. They were intoxicated by the peace created by various forces and did not care about what was happening outside.
Or maybe everyone just regarded this chaos as a minor incident. After all, such things happen all the time, and no one is willing to care about them except the parties involved.
Then came the famous Red Moon Incident, when Count Dracula was killed by the Red Emperor in an ancient castle in Prussia, and vampire incidents in Europe began to experience a major shock.
For the bloodline families, it is an offense to the noble bloodlines if any earl among the leaders of the four families is killed by a human.
If the Bloodborn do not respond, soon everyone will disrespect our rights in the dark world.
Therefore, a hunt for the Red Emperor was organized, initiated by Count Magnus.
The result was just as you can imagine, the operation failed. It was a complete defeat. In recent centuries, the Bloodline Family had never suffered such a heavy blow. Family members suffered heavy losses. My other two brothers died in this operation.
Not only that, or it would be better if it were just like this, a few people die, things end, the living continue to live freely, and the dead rest in peace.
But Hongdi obviously didn't think so. For him, this was just the beginning.
A month after the failed operation, Count Magnus also fell into the hands of the Red Emperor. He was pierced through the chest by a spear and nailed to the cross in the church.
This seemed to be a sign that the bloodline family's past glory and stability were gone forever, and that an even bloodier and more cruel era was about to begin.
Nowadays, let alone other vampire families, even the two major blood families of Dracula and Vlad have turned to the Red Emperor.
His power is so great now that if he sneezes, the dark world will catch a cold.
Vampires are just bad, not stupid.
They either surrendered to the Red Emperor or fled to America or the Far East.
There are not many free vampires left here, especially in Dunling.
As for the remaining vampire family, the Magnus family was determined to seek revenge. However, after losing Count Magnus, they could no longer protect themselves. Not to mention the Red Emperor, even other vampire families were ready to take action against them.
As for our Nicholas family, we are still hesitating and waiting."
"So, this is the purpose of your meeting here tonight?"
Yin Xiu asked him bluntly: "Where is the Red Emperor?"
This is the issue that concerns him most. As for how those vampires fight among themselves, or travel around the world, whether for tourism or escape, it has nothing to do with him and has nothing to do with him.
However, Joseph never disappoints people when it comes to disappointing people. He shook his head and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of the Red Emperor, and I have never seen the Red Emperor himself."
"Well?"
Yin Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you talking here for so long!?"
Joseph quickly covered his face, fearing that Yin Xiu would step on his face with his boots again.
"You really can't blame me. Not to mention me, I'm afraid even the vampires who have joined the Red Emperor may not have seen his true face.
He is a very mysterious guy. People know nothing about him and are extremely afraid of him because of this.”
"Know nothing?"
Yin Xiu looked at Luo Wei.
Luo Wei also spread his hands.
He had been investigating the news about the Red Emperor in Dunling during this period, but he had only obtained some scattered fragments, which were of no help to Yin Xiu's questions.
"But I know that they seem to have all gone to Eastern Europe? Those vampires from Dunling." Luo Wei asked.
"Yes, they all went to Eastern Europe."
Joseph seemed to be worried that Yin Xiu would get angry, so he quickly said, "The Red Emperor took away most of Dunling's vampires, but I don't know what they are going to do in Eastern Europe."
"What on earth can you know?" Yin Xiu sighed, "What about the earl of your family? That's the Count Nicholas that everyone is looking for."
Hearing this, Joseph shut up and looked calm.
He obviously didn't want to say anything. Perhaps he could tell everything else clearly, for fear that Yin Xiu and the others didn't know.
However, he was unwilling to say a word about the whereabouts of Count Nicholas, which seemed to be more important than his life.
Even though Joseph was no longer noble and had become a captive of Yin Xiu and his men, and was lying on the ground like a dead dog, he still wanted to hold on to something, something that he was unwilling to give up.
"Well?"
Yoon Soo reached into his pocket.
Joseph frowned, knowing that his death was imminent.
However, to his surprise, Yin Xiu simply took out a wine jug, took a sip, and handed it to Luo Wei.
Then he reached out his hand to Joseph.
It finally came, and Joseph felt a little relieved.
However, Yoon Soo simply pulled Joseph up and brushed off the dust on his body.
"Loyalty? I admire people who are loyal the most. If you want to get involved in a gang, you must put loyalty first.
You foreigners only care about money, but we Orientals, especially the Tang people, all worship Guandi. Other things don’t matter, the most important thing is loyalty.
For this reason, I like you."
Yin Xiu spoke so proudly, but Joseph said coldly: "I have seen this many times at the docks. Those merchants from the Far East all say that they are very righteous, but in fact, you are the least righteous.
For money, I can sell out my brothers and my wife..."
Snapped!
Yin Xiu slapped him on the back of his head, causing Joseph's body, which had just straightened up with great difficulty, to bend down again.
"Damn it, didn't I learn this from you ghosts?
Futures, stocks, which one wasn't created by you? You are not a good person, yet you judge others! ? "
Yin Xiu became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and it looked like he was about to start fighting again, so Luo Wei quickly held him back.
"No need, no need. These foreign bastards have been around for a long time. There's no need to bother with them.
You are a big shot, big shots do big things, leave the small things like this to me."
"Hey you!"
Luo Wei hugged Yin Xiu and shouted to Joseph, "You'd better tell me now, or I won't be able to stop him and you'll be in trouble."
Although Joseph was nervous, he still said stubbornly: "I'm sorry, I can't betray Count Nicholas. Even if he beats me to death, I won't say a word."
"Ugh!"
Luo Wei loosened his hand. Yin Xiu did not rush out, but stood still and opened his palm to Luo Wei, "Here, twenty dollars."
"You bastard, you made me lose twenty dollars!"
Luo Wei glared at Joseph, handed twenty yuan to Yin Xiu, and muttered, "As a rule, police officers are not allowed to gamble."
"You're wrong about that."
Yin Xiu put the money into his pocket and kept it close to his body.
“Police officers cannot win money, but it does not say they cannot lose money.
What should we do now? I should kill him directly and we can go find the whereabouts of the count ourselves."
What Yin Xiu was talking about was obviously the use of [Death Memories]. Using that trick, he could check Joseph's memories of the past month.
Luo Wei stopped Yin Xiu and said, "It was so hard to catch a live one. You have to know that I have been active in Dunling for so long, and this is the first time I have caught a blood descendant. It would be a waste if you just killed him like this."
Yin Xiu thought about it and realized that this was the truth. Ordinary vampires were easy to find, but vampire descendants were not so easy to catch.
The descendant in front of them is the key for them to enter the underground world of Dunling, and it cannot be broken here.
So he nodded and said, "Then what do you want to do? Persuade him to cooperate with you, the police and the people?"
"Sometimes, problems cannot be solved by just fighting and killing."
Luo Wei shook his finger and said to Joseph: "In fact, you should know that we are not from the Red Emperor."
"Hard to say."
Although Joseph denied it, his expression betrayed him.
Just as Luo Wei said, he and Yin Xiu were indeed not from the Red Emperor.
However, what was the purpose of these two people looking for Count Nicholas?
Seeing Joseph's doubts, Yin Xiu said straight to the point: "All this is to find the Red Emperor, that's all."
"That's it?"
"of course."
Yin Xiu stretched out a hand, put it on Luo Wei's shoulder, and smiled: "Do you think we want to become the next Red Emperor?"
"You are two people, so you can't become the next Red Emperor, because you are two people."
Joseph murmured, his heart was in turmoil, thinking about Yin Xiu and Luo Wei's purpose.
Because Yin Xiu didn't tell him why the two of them were looking for the Red Emperor. Could it be that they were looking for Count Nicholas just to say hello to him?
"Why?" Joseph finally couldn't figure it out.
"I told you, it's to find the Red Emperor, that's all."
Yin Xiu said calmly: "Since the entire Dunling vampire family is looking for the whereabouts of Count Nicholas, and no one knows where the Red Emperor is, then we might as well go to Count Nicholas, so that we can find a large number of Red Emperor's subordinates.
There are so many people, if we ask them one by one, someone will know. "
Joseph had already thought of the way Yin Xiu would "question" these people, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"So, you are not going to deal with us?" Joseph asked tentatively.
"Why should we deal with you? We have no grudges against each other."
"Because I think Orientals hate evil, especially the more capable a person is, the more moral he is. Therefore, they want to drive all evil out of this world, otherwise their conscience will be uneasy."
"Easy."
Yoon Soo choked and laughed.
"Easy."
Joseph laughed too, and was somehow happy.
So he finally asked: "So, you two, if I cooperate with you, what will the price be?"
Yin Xiu put away his smile and said seriously: "Freedom." (End of this chapter)
