"What on earth is that thing? Is it some special deity or some other secret existence? Do the nine main gods know of its existence?
“If He is also a deity, then what authority does He wield?
"Is authority limited? How many items are there in total? What does it have to do with divinity?"
She stood in front of the window, looking up at the sky that was cut into pieces by lush branches. Her thoughts gradually diverged endlessly and she fell into a long period of contemplation.
The deep night falls upon this university full of vitality and scholarly atmosphere.
In a green area near the Nanyuan student canteen.
A sneaky figure appeared in the shadow of a tree at some point.
And, along a strange, ghostly trajectory, it travels through the shadows cast by various things.
Faintly, one could see a human figure wearing a large black windbreaker, with the collar standing high, covering the head and face.
In the cloudless sky, a huge "blue moon" hung prominently at the zenith, casting bright light blue moonlight, illuminating the entire campus.
But that figure was always able to accurately find a dark enough location and then pass through it at an extremely fast speed.
It was almost midnight and long past lunchtime, so there were few people in the student cafeteria or the surrounding areas.
But even if there were occasional passers-by passing by here, they would not be able to find any trace of the figure.
Jumping among various shadows, the figure in a long windbreaker quickly came to the back of the cafeteria.
Without hesitation, he followed the shadow cast by the eaves, quickly approached the back door of the cafeteria, and arrived at the locked door of the kitchen.
"brush--"
A faint green light suddenly flashed from the figure's hand.
“Snap.”
As the green light went out, the mechanical lock of the kitchen door... was opened easily.
"Squeak-"
The figure seemed to be impatient and quickly opened the door, not caring about the obvious noise made by his reckless actions, and went straight in.
The kitchen, which had been cleaned by the cleaning staff, came into view.
It was empty and dark.
In the corner of the kitchen, a large ice storage powered by spiritual power keeps the ingredients for the next day frozen.
"Crack!"
The black shadow used the same trick again, using the green light in his hand to open the lock of the ice storage and pulled open the heavy metal door.
"call--"
Bone-chilling cold air suddenly rushed out, but the man didn't seem to feel the cold at all and rushed in without a pause.
"Well!"
It was like a wolf that had been hungry for three days and three nights, pouncing on a piece of frozen meat hanging from the ceiling of the freezer with an iron hook.
It was half a guinea pig, its surface covered with frost and frozen solid by the sub-freezing temperature.
"Ouch!"
The man opened his mouth without any concern, revealing two sharp and curved fangs, and bit hard!
“Click, click…”
The pork hanging on the iron hook quickly shrank and became darker in color, as if it was gradually turning into a dry and wrinkled piece of wood.
A few minutes later, the hanging meat, which was half the size of a guinea pig, completely turned into a ball of soft, gray-black substance like cotton wool. It could no longer support its own weight and fell directly from the iron hook, hitting the ground and shattering into a pool of ashes.
"Woo..."
The figure standing next to him touched his stomach with one hand and whimpered with great satisfaction, as if he had had a full meal.
After standing there and resting for a minute or two, the figure squatted down, took out a set of small brooms and dustpans from his large and slender windbreaker, and carefully picked up the ashes that fell on the ground.
At this moment, a delicate and beautiful little hand like a work of art suddenly stretched out from the void behind this person.
Silently, but extremely quickly, he grabbed the guy by the scruff of the neck!
"Wow!!!"
Chapter 236 Vampire?
Qi Ji cancelled the "invisible" state, grabbed the back of the neck of the windbreaker man squatting on the ground sweeping the floor with one hand, and lifted him up easily as if he was picking up a cat.
“…Eh?! Huh?! Uwaaaaaaaah!!!”
The guy suddenly let out an extremely shrill and miserable cry, and waved his hands and feet around in panic and confusion.
The scream was so cruel and the decibel level was so high that if Qi Ji hadn't had an extraordinary physique, he would have probably been dizzy from the yelling.
Fortunately, the walls of this ice storage are made thick and dense enough for insulation, and the sound insulation effect is excellent, so the shrill and tragic screams basically have no impact on the outside.
"Stop shouting. No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."
Qi Ji said this coldly, and at the same time, he gently hooked the index finger of his other hand, and the half-open ice storage door closed with a click, completely isolating the place from all movement.
"Ah?!"
Hearing Qi Ji's voice, which was pretending to be cold but still sounded soft and tender, the man in the windbreaker who was held by her was slightly stunned at first, and then shouted loudly in a very unexpected tone:
"student?!"
Judging from the voice, it's a girl, not very old.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night to eat in a place like this?" Qi Ji scratched his head, looking a little puzzled. "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the security? The security here is not weak."
"You, you care about me!?"
The girl in the windbreaker who was being held up struggled hard for a few times, whimpering and screaming. Since Qi Ji didn't want to hurt her for the time being, he didn't use too much strength and she successfully broke free.
"brush!"
As soon as his feet touched the ground, this guy leaped forward very nimbly and reached the edge of the ice storage in an instant.
At the same time, he turned around at an extremely fast speed, with his back pressed against the frosty wall. His whole body was tense, and he stared at Qi Ji who was still standing there with an extremely vigilant attitude.
With the help of the dim light in the ice storage, Qi Ji could clearly see the figure and appearance of the sneaky guy.
A girl of about sixteen or seventeen, with fairly long black hair that reached down to her calves.
The eyes were an extremely bright red, so rich that they seemed to be dripping with blood.
At this time, in addition to the loose black long windbreaker, she was also wearing a set of Imperial National University middle school girls' uniform:
A short-sleeved white shirt with a red bow tie and a dark red knee-length skirt.
Further down, there are knee-high black stockings wrapped around slender calves, and a pair of small leather shoes.
At first glance, the outfit looks good, but upon closer inspection, you can see that it is all wrinkled and dirty, and it doesn't even fit the body very well, and the size is a little too large.
Either they have been worn for a long time or they are old clothes that have been stolen or picked up.
"Little brat! I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business! Get out of here right now, hide under the covers and forget about what happened tonight, and I may consider sparing your life!"
She shouted in a deliberately hoarse voice, grinning with her small pink mouth, revealing two sharp inward-curved fangs, and her slender and delicate eyebrows twisted together.
It seemed as if he wanted to make a ferocious expression to make himself look more intimidating.
"Oh."
"boom!"
Qi Ji nodded expressionlessly, and without any warning, a short, powerful thud came from under his feet.
The whole person disappeared from the spot immediately, and before the other party could react, he appeared in front of her.
"Eh?!"
The girl was stunned. Before she could do anything, Qi Ji grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall.
"Boom!"
The back of her head hit the wall so hard that the entire freezer shook.
“Ugh!… Ahem, w-what are you going to do?!”
Feeling the absolutely irresistible force coming from that seemingly slender and tender little hand, she panicked instantly.
While twisting her body, she spoke in a trembling voice, her bright red eyes flashing with extreme fear.
"Although I don't know the specific characteristics of you vampires."
Qi Ji tilted her head and looked at the girl in the windbreaker who was pressed against the wall by her, and said without any malice:
"But based on my personal experience watching movies, the ability to recover should be very strong, right? For example, as long as the brain and heart are intact, they won't die or anything like that."
“Ahem… What are you talking about? Quick, quick, let me go!… Ouch… It hurts, can you please stop doing this?…”
Listening to her incomprehensible words, the girl in the windbreaker felt a chill in her heart for no reason. She was so scared that her eyes were watery and she was about to cry.
"I mean, if I use a very strong material that you can never destroy, make a hollow box, and then lock you in it, throw you into the middle of the Twilight Sea, and never take care of you again, what will happen?"
"what?!"
The girl's body suddenly froze, her expression was dull for a moment, and then an extremely strong sense of despair and fear spread:
"A-Are you serious!?"
"That depends on your answer later," Qi Ji shrugged calmly, "I have a few questions, you can choose to answer them."
"I said! I said everything!"
Hearing this, the girl burst into tears and begged for mercy in a clear sobbing voice:
“Ahem… Don’t, don’t kill me, okay? I, ahem… I, I apologize to you, I shouldn’t have been so mean to you just now… Wuwu, please, don’t kill me…”
Completely ignoring what she was saying, Qi Ji said without any tone:
"First question, how long have you been in the human world?"
"Forehead……"
The girl thought for a few seconds, her bright red eyes rolling around, and she replied tremblingly:
"One, one month? Maybe a little longer, a little shorter, I, I didn't calculate..."
"Secondly," Qi Ji's expression and tone remained unchanged, "How often do you vampires usually 'feed'?"
"Gu..."
The girl wanted to swallow her saliva, but her throat was strangled and she couldn't swallow at all. She could only say vaguely:
"Probably, three days... cough, but, it can be up to five days, cough cough, if you sleep, you can go without food for several years..."
"Oh," Qi Ji nodded and continued leisurely, "What have you been eating during this period?"
Qi Ji's tone was leisurely and steady, and there was no malice in it, but it made the girl feel inexplicably cold.
She had a premonition that the answer she gave to this question would determine her future fate and even whether her life could continue!
"me……"
The girl's lips, which had turned slightly purple due to breathing difficulties, trembled, and she said slowly with some hesitation and embarrassment:
"Pigs, fish... ahem, dogs, cats, uh..."
"anything else?"
Qi Ji raised an eyebrow and subconsciously increased the strength of his hand that was strangling the girl.
"Uh huh! There's more! There's more!"
Feeling that her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, the girl immediately raised her voice in panic and shouted in extreme fear:
"And rats! Sometimes, ahem, when I can't find anything to eat, I'll go to the garbage pit and catch rats!"
Qi Ji could tell that she was not lying and was not hiding anything, so he nodded in understanding and let go of her hand.
"Pfft!"
The girl fell to the ground immediately, and her whole body looked like a piece of clothing that had been pulled off the frame. She sat there slumped, as if she had lost all her strength. She covered her slender pink neck with her hands, gasping for breath. Her calf-length black hair was spread messily on the ground, and she looked so pitiful.
“Woo woo woo… inhale… woo… huh… woo woo…”
