The stairs creaked and groaned, as if they might collapse at any moment. Following the house number, Su found Anna's house and knocked on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Hold on."
The sound grew louder as it approached. The door opened a crack, and Anna opened it with some surprise: "You're here so soon? I'm making dinner. I hope it won't disappoint you."
Anna stepped aside and invited Sue into the house.
The house is small and the decor is a bit old-fashioned, but it is very clean and has a cozy feel.
"A gift for you."
Since it was the first time visiting someone's home, Su couldn't come empty-handed, so she picked out one of her unopened spare phones as a gift when she came out.
Anna took it, opened it, and paused, then said, "This must be quite expensive, right? Thank you."
The Motorola V3 is a phone full of nostalgia, a childhood memory for many. It was indeed the latest model for that era, and its price was not low. Mr. Su himself used this model.
"Please make yourself at home, I'll be right there." Anna put her phone on the table and turned to go to the kitchen.
It's called a kitchen, but it's actually just a corner of the room—well, an open kitchen, you know!
Not long after, Anna returned to the living room with a plate. There was no dining table, and it wasn't very formal; it was just on the sofa in the living room. There were two servings of pasta, which were specially plated and looked quite appetizing. Then Anna turned around and grabbed a bottle of red wine.
“My home is rather simple, I hope you don’t mind.” Anna smiled and sat down next to Su, gesturing for him to try her cooking.
"How about it?"
"Your skills are excellent, much better than I expected. How did you do it?" Mrs. Su tasted it and gave a very fair evaluation.
Anna smiled calmly and said, "I live my own life, I'll learn as I go."
"You enjoy studying cooking?"
"I guess so. I don't have many hobbies. I spend most of my time working, and occasionally I'll treat myself to something I like when I have some free time."
"award?"
Su was speechless: "You probably can't digest this, can you?"
Anna was taken aback: "Wh-what do you mean?"
Su smiled but remained silent as she looked at her.
A mix of emotions shifted rapidly in Anna's eyes: unease, surprise, panic, and ferocity. Suddenly, her expression turned cold, her eyes darkened as if shadowed, and she opened her mouth, revealing sharp fangs as she reached for her neck.
Take action at the slightest disagreement.
"Snapped!"
Anna grabbed Su by the neck with one hand and lifted him up. Su's feet left the ground, his face flushed red, and he looked extremely pained.
However, there was no panic or fear in his eyes, but rather a sense of satisfaction and relief that his wish had been fulfilled.
Anna glared at Su Shi with a cold, menacing expression, her grip on his neck loosening slightly. "Who are you? How do you know my identity?"
"So this is what it feels like to be choked. Thank you!"
???
Anna almost lost control and snapped his neck. Is this guy crazy?
"Stop playing tricks, answer my question, who exactly are you..."
"Oh!"
Before the questioning was over, Su suddenly exploded.
A puff of white smoke rose, and Anna felt Su Shi disappear from her hand. She quickly retreated to create distance, cautiously looking left and right, searching for Su Shi's whereabouts.
The house is only so big; you can see the whole thing at a glance.
no one!
It was as if Su had vanished into thin air; she had completely disappeared.
Anna instinctively went to the window and looked outside. The streetlights were dim, there were few pedestrians, and no suspicious figures were visible. "He got away? Impossible! Even if he's fast, he couldn't have escaped right under my nose without warning. Who is this guy? Did he accidentally discover my identity, or is he after me?"
Anna grew increasingly uneasy. She composed herself, her figure flashing quickly around the room. A few seconds later, she put her important items into her backpack and headed for the door to leave.
The door opened, and a figure stood outside.
It was none other than the Su family!
"When did you leave? Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore. Go back and tell Camille that she can never catch me, if... you can still get back alive."
Anna swayed her shoulders, grabbed the backpack straps, and threw it forcefully at Su Shi. She pushed the vampire's speed to its limit. Then, she turned around, went into the house, closed the door, and leaped out of the window.
No, didn't what you just said sound like you were trying to kill me?
Is it really okay to turn around and run away?
And you should explain yourself clearly before you run away. Who is Camille, and what does she have to do with me?
……
P.S.: At the current pace, I might not be able to finish the fifth update before midnight. Also, focusing on the extravagant spending habits of the super-rich means I can't write about many aspects, and some of the car models aren't even available yet this year. So frustrating.
The picture is of Anna!
Chapter 30 The Intersection of Two Worlds
Su was completely bewildered!
His confusion stemmed partly from Anna's words before she fled and the reasons for her escape, and partly from the shadow clones.
Yes, shadow clones.
Vampires are fast and can hypnotize, so the Su family had a backup plan. If Anna really had ill intentions and set up a trap, the Shadow Clone wouldn't be afraid of being hypnotized or bitten.
They're just tools, so we have to make good use of them!
Unexpectedly, the shadow clone was so mischievous, doing the very thing it had been hesitating about from the start: skipping all the pointless and meaningless probing and directly revealing Anna's identity.
Sue will definitely go to Mystic Falls, and Anna will definitely return to Mystic Falls. It's better to be direct and save time. If they get along well, they can definitely become friends and help each other out.
Anna's reaction was unexpected, and the shadow clone's decision to give up resistance and test the effects of being attacked was even more unexpected.
Well, this should be considered his own idea. Su did want to test the Shadow Clones' resilience through Anna. Okay, this can't be considered the Shadow Clones acting on their own initiative. His Shadow Clones aren't Naruto's Shadow Clones, which would fight against the main body. His Shadow Clones are just standard tools.
“Camille, I think I’ve heard that name before…” Su recalled the American TV series she had watched, took out sunglasses from her jacket pocket, put them on, and slowly caught up with him.
Anna was incredibly fast; she jumped out of the window and disappeared into the alley across the street in the blink of an eye.
Once the white eye is activated, there's nowhere to hide.
Using obstacles to escape is pointless; under the power of X-ray vision, everything is an illusion. Moreover, the Byakugan has the ability to see far and wide, and can use chakra to amplify the power of the eyes, allowing one to see things within a radius of one kilometer.
A few minutes later, Anna, who had been turning east and west and was sure no one was chasing her, slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief, then walked into an alley at a normal pace.
As soon as Anna entered, her relaxed mood instantly turned tense.
In the moonlight, a man stood in the middle of the alley, his head tilted to the side, revealing sharp fangs, blocking her path. Anna quickly turned around, only to find a woman behind her wearing a short leather jacket and sporting a punk hairstyle. This woman also showed sharp teeth, tilted her head, and stared at her arrogantly.
"Bitch, you can't escape this time."
Is this... a head tilt kill?
If you're good-looking, it's called a "head tilt kill"; if you're not good-looking, it's called a "stiff neck"!
Seeing this scene, Su muttered under his breath. He roughly guessed what was going on: either Anna had provoked another group of vampires or another group of vampires had their eyes on her.
The cause was mostly due to the sun ring.
Other vampires all stay out at night and never have the chance to bask in the sun and feel its warmth. What makes you so special?
Once Anna's vampire identity is discovered, it will cause endless trouble. People are selfish, let alone vampires who are no longer human.
No wonder Anna reacted so strongly just now. She attacked me without warning as soon as her identity was revealed, and after being tricked by the shadow clone, she turned and ran without even asking any questions.
“Brooklyn…vampire…Camille…” Su suddenly remembered.
Camille is from Shadowhunter, a veteran female vampire with great power, and is the leader of this area of vampires.
The protagonist, Clari, turned Simon, her childhood friend and bespectacled boyfriend, into a vampire. Meanwhile, Camille has countless male admirers in the Shadow World, including the elf Merio and the wizard Magnus.
Besides that, what impressed Sue most about her was that she owned properties almost all over the world, and most of them were quite valuable, with several in Brooklyn alone.
This is a senior he should learn from!
"The Dumont Hotel, the vampire's lair is the Dumont Hotel, I can't believe I didn't realize that before! If I had stayed at the Dumont Hotel when I came to Brooklyn, I would have seen the vampires long ago."
Su felt a little regretful. One of her purposes in coming to Brooklyn was to confirm the identities of Broke Girls and Shadow Hunter, but she had overlooked such an important clue. Although she had encountered the werewolf Luke, if she had remembered earlier, she could have gone to see the vampires when she had nothing to do a few days ago.
Luckily, I was blessed with good fortune and met Anna; otherwise, I don't know when I would have met her again.
With Camille's strength and influence, she would discover any foreign vampires hunting for food in her territory, whether it was a human being bitten or blood being stolen from the blood bank.
Camille must already know the function of the Sun Ring, and Anna should know it too. They've most likely clashed recently, which is why Anna assumed he was Camille's person without even asking any questions after he revealed his identity.
This is quite interesting!
Just as Su was worried that the events at William Berg's restaurant would be affected by the butterfly effect, Anna from The Vampire Diaries clashed with Camille from Shadowhunters.
What kind of impact will occur when two worlds that would otherwise never intersect come together? What kind of sparks will fly?
The Su family is very much looking forward to it!
……
P.S.: I'm devastated. I was almost finished writing this chapter when the document suddenly crashed. Because I forgot to save it, I searched for ages but couldn't find it, so I have to rewrite it all.
Chapter 31 Do you also want to dance?
The hazy moonlight enveloped the secluded alley. In the narrow alley, two figures wrestled with each other, their speed and strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
"boom!"
"boom!"
