He was panting and sobbing softly.
The pretty and delicate little face was tearful as she cried, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, but she dared not show any dissatisfaction and could only shiver alone, looking pitiful.
Qi Ji put down his arms, put his hands behind his waist, looked down at the miserable vampire, and waited for her to calm down a little before asking curiously:
"You are a vampire, why are you alone in the Imperial University?"
Chapter 237 The Experience of the Blood Clan Girl
Vampires, a humanoid species, do exist in this world, and their main gathering place is in the northern continent, not too far from the human world.
To the west of the great northern country, the Krestos Dynasty, at the end of the "Endless Plains", a land of thousands of miles of ice, severe cold all year round, and eternal silence, there exists a country that is basically composed of vampires:
"Moonlit Empire".
In a place farther and more secretive than the Moonlight Empire, is the mysterious, powerful, ancient and strange "Moon Spirit Republic" which is eternally shrouded in the moonlight.
It is a taboo that no civilization in the Northern Continent dares to mention. Legend has it that the ruler of the Northern Continent in the old days later chose to isolate himself for unknown reasons and basically stopped interacting with the outside world.
This is a prerequisite for humans to become the rulers of the northern continent.
They believe in the "second oldest ancient god" - "God of Night and Tranquility" and "Goddess of the Moonlight" Lol.
The church under the command of this ancient god is the most mysterious and least known "Spirit Restraint Sect" among the nine major churches.
No one knows what the teachings of this church are, and no one even knows whether this church has other believers in the Northern Continent besides the citizens of the Yueling Republic.
But the name itself is enough to silence anyone who talks about it.
Some people speculate that the vampire kingdom, the Moonlight Empire, is inextricably linked to the unmentionable Moon Spirit Republic.
The ancestor of the former may be a branch left behind in the outside world before the latter closed itself off.
But this is just speculation, and vampires never admit such a statement.
They call themselves "the ancient people of the moon" and "a clan of noble blood", and always maintain a proud and noble attitude in front of outsiders.
How could they possibly admit that their ancestor was a branch of some other race?
The Moonlight Empire is not isolated from the world. It borders the northern border of the Holy Templar State and the western border of the northern power, the Cristo Dynasty, and has a lot of exchanges with the human world.
Occasionally, vampires can be seen in the human world as messengers or tourists.
Of course, "vampire" is a derogatory term and quite rude.
They call themselves "the blood clan", or "the blood clan" for short.
However, although vampires have many interactions with humans, they are, after all, an alien race that directly sucks the vitality of living beings and has a somewhat evil way of survival. They are bound to be rejected by human society.
Moreover, in some remote and backward areas, there are rumors among the people that vampires' organs, blood, bones and other body tissues can be used as medicinal materials with excellent efficacy and can cure all diseases.
In other words, it is extremely dangerous for a lone vampire, who does not seem to be very powerful, to appear in human territory.
Being discriminated against, abused and humiliated is the best and most civilized outcome. In serious cases, you may be killed by some extremists.
Even worse, being tied up in a basement, having their skin peeled off, their tendons pulled out, their blood and marrow sucked out all day long, being used as a renewable medicinal material, unable to live or die.
Qi Ji was very curious as to why this vampire girl in front of him would wander alone in Twilight City, one of the heartlands of the human world, and end up rummaging through garbage and eating rats in a university town.
She thought about it over and over again, but just couldn't figure it out.
Hearing Qi Ji's question, the vampire girl barely stopped sobbing, leaned against the wall, hugged her knees with her arms, curled up into a ball, and tightly grasped a few strands of black and soft hair in her palms.
It seemed that this posture could give her some sense of security.
"I...uh, I..."
She hesitated, as if trying to form her words.
At the same time, she raised her head, looked at the other person with fear through her red eyes from crying, and her body trembled constantly, as if the person in front of her was a terrible, brutal, murderous demon.
It was obvious that she was quite disgusted by Qi Ji calling her a "vampire", but she dared not express any objection.
Looking at her pitiful appearance of being too frightened, Qi Ji shrugged helplessly.
She also didn't want to treat a pretty and lovely girl in such a harsh and violent way as soon as they met.
But this is, after all, an extraordinary creature with certain extraordinary powers. It has the force to crush ordinary people, and it is also a vampire that feeds on the vitality of living beings.
Such creatures, hiding for a long time in a campus full of vigorous and energetic young students, cannot be said to be not dangerous.
She asked those questions just now because she wanted to confirm whether this vampire had killed people and sucked blood in order to fill his stomach during this period of time.
If it was confirmed that she had really done so, Qi Ji would break her neck without hesitation and cast a spell from the "Sun" field to burn her to ashes.
Although vampires are not humans, their inner thoughts cannot be judged by human moral standards.
But since she lives in the human world, she must use human laws, morals and simple sense of justice to restrain her behavior.
If you really hurt innocent people, you still have to be punished accordingly.
"My mother and I came here to travel..."
The vampire girl choked and said, her eyes drooping, not daring to look directly at Qi Ji:
"But, a month ago, she suddenly disappeared... Our ultimatum and identity documents were all with her. I couldn't go back, and I was afraid of being caught and eaten by humans, so I could only..."
"Why don't you go to the government, the church, the superintendent, or the royal family?"
Qi Ji asked with a frown.
Hostility aside, as an official department, they still have to handle such incidents of accidental disappearance of foreign tourists in an impartial and fair manner and according to procedures.
After all, this involves international diplomacy and cannot be dealt with casually.
"Someone, someone is watching me!"
Fear flashed in the vampire girl's eyes, as if she had thought of something horrible:
"I don't know who they are, but they have been looking for me. I was almost discovered and arrested several times..."
"Is there someone plotting against you?"
Qi Ji repeated her words in another way.
"I don't know what their purpose is or why they arrested me."
The girl buried her chin in her knees, her shoulders trembling:
"But I have a feeling that if I am really captured by them, something very bad will happen... So, I, I must hide..."
Qi Ji felt that this matter was quite interesting and worth further investigation, so he carefully analyzed it for her:
"Did anything unusual happen before your mother disappeared? For example, was there anything unusual in her words or actions?"
"No……"
The girl shook her head, her pair of blood-red eyes were very conspicuous, as eye-catching as the bright stars in the night sky:
"I woke up one night and she was gone. I suspect that my mother's disappearance was related to those guys..."
Qi Ji also thought so, and did not think that her mother was simply kidnapped. Perhaps she went out on her own initiative, but something unexpected happened afterwards?
Or was her disappearance intentional? But what was the point of leaving without saying goodbye and taking away all her daughter's documents?
"Your mother is also a transcendent, right?"
Chapter 238 Bernice Rose
As soon as he asked this question, Qi Ji felt that his question was too stupid.
Vampires are born supernatural creatures. The daughter in front of them possesses certain supernatural powers. How could the mother be an ordinary person?
Sure enough, after hearing this question, the girl showed a strange look on her face, but still nodded:
"Correct."
After she finished speaking, she thought of something and quickly added:
"My mother is a 'sprout', and I am a 'bud'..."
The realm system of vampires is different from that of humans. From low to high, they are "embryo", "bud", "out of the silt", "drawing from the abyss", and "towering".
If we take the mage as a reference, it can roughly correspond to "apprentice", "proper mage", "magician", "light smelter" and "miracle worker" respectively.
——Vampires are born extraordinary, so there is no such level as "mortal". Even a newborn baby has the level of "embryo".
bud……
Qi Ji looked up and down at the tear-stained, pitiful, red-eyed, black-haired girl in front of him. She seemed to have no fighting power at all. He couldn't tell at all that this girl actually possessed the strength equivalent to that of a regular magician.
By the way, her mother is actually "Chu Yu" - a powerful person at the level of mage?
With a mother like this, how could there be someone so blind as to dare to target this mother and daughter?
How did she disappear?
"Things are getting weirder and weirder..."
Qi Ji muttered to himself and nodded thoughtfully.
Then, she lowered her eyes, looked at the vampire with the gentlest gaze possible, and said soothingly:
"You get up first, don't worry, I won't hurt you."
The girl glanced at the other person doubtfully and hesitated for a few seconds, but still stood up from the ground carefully.
"You, can you let me go?"
She combed her overgrown dark hair to keep from tripping over it when she stood up.
Then he slowly stood up, twisting his hands in front of him nervously:
"Those rumors are lies! Even if you eat me, it won't have any effect! What's more, the spiritual imprint in my spirit might disturb your mind and make you go crazy..."
Seeing Qi Ji didn't say anything but just stared at her, she panicked for a moment and shouted loudly while pretending to be calm:
"It's true! If you really kill me, I will hate you very very very much before I die! If that happens, my spirit will be left with a very very very deep spiritual imprint that you will never be able to remove!"
Qi Ji was also amused by this exaggerated yet innocent tone, and laughed cheerfully:
"Let me give you some basic knowledge. As long as the spirit of a supernatural creature is repeatedly crushed and reassembled after death, the remaining will and mental imprint in the spirit can be effectively erased."
"what?"
The girl was stunned, her head was confused for a while, and then she stammered:
"Really, really?"
"Of course," Qi Ji spread his hands, "This is very easy for me."
"You, you still want to kill me?!"
The girl immediately started crying again. Her face, which had just dried up, was wet again. At the same time, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground again.
“Wuwu… I didn’t lie to you! You, eating me is no different from eating a human! How could a warrior of your level not figure it out?! Please, let me go… Wuwu… Mother, save me…”
It seems that the speed, strength and stealth that Qi Ji just demonstrated made the vampire girl mistakenly believe that she was a high-level warrior.
Seeing her crying so miserably, Qi Ji knew that he had gone too far in his joke, and hurriedly comforted her:
"Okay, okay, I won't do anything to you."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly had an idea, spread out her right palm, and said mysteriously:
"I was too impulsive just now and scared you... How about I give you some compensation?"
"……what?"
The girl was stunned and subconsciously lowered her head, looking at the delicate white palm with tearful red eyes.
Suddenly, a bright and rich color appeared, quickly forming a picture of "a giant lush tree growing on a rocky mountain, surrounded by wheat ears."
——The holy emblem of Bio, the "God of Earth and Fertility" and "Mother Goddess of Harvest", is the "Tree of All Things"!
Immediately afterwards, countless vibrant emerald green lights lit up from it, converging and condensing together.
After a while, a thumb-sized green halo with the texture of marshmallow was formed.
"No, this is for you."
Qi Ji took away the "Tree of All Things" in his palm, pinched the soft green halo with his index finger and thumb, and held it in front of the vampire girl:
"It should be suitable, right?"
