The vampire heiress is two-faced

Yin Shang couldn't help but chuckle: "Very easy to talk to... I guess I'm only easy to talk to with you."

Luo Qina looked puzzled, and Yin Shang took her little hand again.

"Alright, Lochina, do you want to go to the amusement park up ahead?"

"want!"

"Then big brother will buy you a ticket. Have a great time inside."

"Hey, isn't Brother Yin coming along?"

"I have some things to do, I'll be right back. I'll wait for you at the door in half an hour, remember not to dawdle."

"I'm not playful at all."

"That's good, sweetie."

...

After seeing off Luo Qina, Yin Shang, who had already scouted the area along the way, quickly arrived at his destination.

Since the group has made this city its bridgehead for communication with the parliament, the most important outcome of this communication—the first plasma processing plant responsible for producing mass-market plasma bags—is also located in this city.

Although neither the Holy Sword nor Reinhardt were by his side, Yin Shang himself possessed the ability to summon holy light to fight. Furthermore, he did not intend to investigate further, so he remained confident that he could escape unscathed.

...

Previously, Yin Shang had something that he couldn't understand at all.

Why would a princess, once a clergywoman, choose to fall into darkness, succumb to madness, and sever all possibility of salvation?

She said it was her own choice, but Yin Shang could keenly sense that the truth might not be so.

Despite being an omnipotent ruler, the noblewoman's eyes held an emptiness that only comes with losing everything, and her entire being radiated a despairing gloom like that of a widow.

Although she is a mysterious woman made up of lies, and everything about her may not be credible, at least her eyes do not lie.

What exactly happened to her that led her to such despair... to the point that she could so completely abandon the Holy Light and her past self?

...

At this moment, Yin Shang was unaware and had no idea—

A sudden gust of wind will rise in this small Eastern European town before the storm arrives.

And he is about to step into the abyss, guided step by step by unseen forces.

Chapter 85 Reinhardt

"Reinhardt, how is it?"

"Reporting to the master. This factory closes at five o'clock sharp, and now only a few security guards remain on duty."

"What about the archives?"

"It's unguarded. But Master, you just said you wouldn't investigate further..."

"We'll run away if anything happens. If we can't afford to fight, we can at least avoid them, right?"

"But Master, meow..."

"Alright, Reinhardt, listen to me. We've come all this way to Brasov, it would be a waste to go back to the castle without finding out anything."

Although Yin Shang was granted permission to stay temporarily in Mona Castle, the Queen still refused to discuss his desire to see the Vampire Queen, and even made excuses to avoid meeting him.

He thought that if he could really uncover some solid evidence against the group, perhaps the princess wouldn't be so arrogant towards him.

If she were truly devoted to the vampire queen, she would not have stopped him from seeking an audience with her.

Therefore, Yin Shang decided to take the risk and venture deep into this blood plasma processing plant.

...

So, now that he was inside the factory's perimeter, he set off for the nearby integrated management building.

Reinhardt, who was hiding in Yin Shang's collar, suddenly patted his neck.

"Master, I have discovered something trivial, but I am not sure if I should mention it."

“Speak,” Yin Shang said.

Reinhardt nodded.

“Ever since I approached this factory, the faint barrier of holy light I erected has been constantly disturbed, which is a sign of the presence of evil forces nearby.”

"But... I didn't sense any demons here. It was only after I went in and circled around that I realized what was going on."

"...below this processing plant is a mass grave."

Yin Shang felt a chill: "Damn. This is really bad luck. I was wondering why I kept getting goosebumps as soon as I came in."

"I guess the group saw that this land was cheap and nobody wanted it, so they simply leased it to build a factory. I suppose the Spire Group has never been afraid of ghosts or gods. It's impossible for them not to be bold enough to be the first company to take a bite out of the Vampire Council's territory," Yin Shang said.

...

The entrance to the management building is just ahead, and it doesn't appear to be locked.

Yin Shang reached out to press the doorknob, but Reinhardt suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Meow!!"

Yin Shang nearly cried out, "What is it now! Don't be so alarmed..."

"Master! Look at the doorknob!"

"What? I didn't see anything, it's too dark here..."

Reinhardt's eyes then emitted a beam of holy light, illuminating the small area around the doorknob.

Thus, a small steel needle on it reflected a clearly visible metallic luster under the illumination of the holy light.

If Yin Shang were to act rashly, his palm would surely be pierced by this thing...!

"Master, this is no ordinary steel needle... it's covered with a high concentration of dark substance!"

"What are the ingredients?"

"I don't know. But Master, let's leave here first. There's definitely danger! This could be an enemy ambush..."

...

"Tsk. What bad luck. If I had the Holy Sword, I wouldn't be sneaking around like this."

Yin Shang grumbled and wanted to turn back.

But when he turned around, a security guard was standing behind him, staring at him with a puzzled look.

"Depend on!"

Yin Shang's heart stopped in shock for a moment.

Because this security guard not only didn't have a flashlight, but he also walked silently. In the darkness, his facial features were only vaguely visible, making him appear like a ghost.

Although he had seen real "ghosts," he was still frightened by a dark shadow that was right in front of him, due to human instinct.

"What are you doing here at this hour?" the security guard asked.

Yin Shang did not respond immediately. He took two steps back warily, signaling Reinhardt to be on his guard.

"This guy... might have some problems," Yin Shang thought.

"I'm a knight who's been through countless battles, how come I didn't notice a living person approaching?"

Seeing that Yin Shang didn't reply, the security guard impatiently shouted, "Get out if you have nothing to say! This is a restricted area of ​​the factory; unauthorized personnel are not allowed!"

Yin Shang immediately feigned weakness: "Ah, sorry, sorry. Could you please show me the way, brother? I just had nothing better to do, so I wandered over here..."

The security guard turned around and waved: "Come with me."

...

"What the hell..."

To be precise, Yin Shang wasn't exactly an atheist, especially after dealing with demons and monsters every day.

Despite his extensive combat experience, Yin Shang wasn't afraid of such an ominous place, but he still felt uneasy. He naturally backed down, deciding it would be better to return later, when he had managed to retrieve the Holy Sword, to investigate further.

"That blonde woman just won't see me, like she has paranoia, always afraid I'll use the holy sword to harm her little daughter..."

"Sigh, it's almost time. Let's go back and pick up Lochina and take her back to the castle. Otherwise, she'll find another excuse to make things difficult for me."

"No, even if I go back now, she'll still find fault with me for bringing Lochina out to play without my permission. Damn it."

...

...

...

"Security guard? Is this the exit?"

Yin Shang looked around and saw an abandoned vacant lot inside the factory.

"Why is it coming from a different direction than I came from?"

...

Yin Shang burst out laughing.

"I fucking knew it."

At this moment, the security guard in front of Yin Shang turned his head 180 degrees, his face pale and his expression stiff as he "turned back" to look at Yin Shang.

His neck was twisted like a pretzel, but he didn't seem to care at all.

“Master, this thing is lifeless; it’s a corpse.”

"You don't have to say it!"

Bang!

Without saying a word, Yin Shang kicked out before the "security guard" could even make a move.

With a powerful blow and a crisp sound, the "security guard's" head flew off like a golf ball, his spine snapping instantly, separating his head from his body.

"Are you crazy? What kind of white security guard in a European factory comes up and asks questions in Chinese?"

He looked at the withered skeleton on the ground and the skull that had flown off and shattered into pieces, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"This unlucky guy is definitely not the only corpse that was dragged out to work overtime."

"Don't you think so, [the lackey]?"

...

Silence reigned all around; not a sound could be heard.

"Not planning to show your face? What a pity, I was hoping to catch up with you. Even you sent someone to ambush me here, it seems that kid Capilson is really desperate."

"What, you're just going to keep hiding like a coward?"

Despite Yin Shang's provocation, the newcomer still did not appear, but the ground beneath Yin Shang's feet began to tremble strangely.

An indescribable, eerie sound echoed around, and the empty shells left behind by a group of soulless underground dead... stood up one after another.

Two, four, eight...

In a strange burst of bloody light, they miraculously grew flesh and blood out of thin air, transforming into their former appearance.

Dozens of dead bodies surrounded Yin Shang completely.

Their eyes were filled with a terrifying bloodlust, and their faces showed a ferocious glint. At a single command, they would swarm forward and tear Yin Shang to shreds.

Yin Shang gritted his teeth.

He did have a way out of the predicament, though it was a poor choice, but he had no choice but to use it at this point.

"Reinhardt!"

"Order!"

Om-!

It leaped high from Yin Shang's shoulder, radiating a dazzling golden light in the air in an instant.

"Roar--"
