Lei Lei looked at the girl his sister sent to his room, feeling a little at a loss.

This girl's name is Kate. She is only thirteen years old. She is really thirteen years old, not an old monster like Lei Lei who looks thirteen but is actually almost a hundred years old.

This little girl's family was originally quite wealthy, so she was raised fair and white. Half a month ago, a vampire attacked Constantine and killed Kate's parents. This poor little girl was fostered into her cousin's house. Unexpectedly, her cousin

After her uncle embezzled her parents' property, he sold her to a trafficker.

The trafficker originally wanted to sell her to that kind of place, but whether it was luck or misfortune, Linlin took a fancy to the child and bought her back.

There are six people in this group of "livestock" who were bought back with Kate. Originally, they were supposed to work as normal maids for a period of time to adapt to the environment of the bungalow. Linlin also wanted to check whether they were loyal enough and not loyal enough.

Fire me early or you'll get into trouble.

But because Lei Lei used the Blood Banshee a few days ago, which consumed his blood power, he has recently developed symptoms of hunger and thirst.

Linlin used mental tricks to control Kate, the most honest person among them, and then sent her to Lei Lei's room.

Due to the influence of the spell, Kate has been in a state of unconsciousness. Now, no matter what Lei Lei does, she will cooperate and no memory will remain.

However, Lei Lei has no experience with this kind of thing.

As a pure vampire born in the Zhu Ye Empire, he has relied on blood pills to suppress his hunger and thirst since he was a child. He has bitten a human's neck to suck blood, although he has occasionally done it during battles, but it was nothing.

There is no need to worry about the life of the prey, as he has never left any prey alive.

Looking at Kate's slender neck, Lei Lei kept muttering in his heart, if he bites her to death with one mouthful, it would be a violation of the commandments set by Lady Lilith.

But the symptoms of hunger and thirst have become more and more obvious. In the past few days, he has become irritable and suspicious. He occasionally feels afraid of the cold, even though it is clearly a warm spring outside.

If he doesn't suck blood in time, he will probably lose his mind, and he may even turn into a night demon and fly out to attack humans.

That would not only be a violation of the precepts, but would even damage the name of the family.

After much hesitation, Lei Lei, trembling a little, grabbed the young girl's shoulder and prepared to bite her neck.

However, just when her mouth was about to touch the skin that could be broken by blows, Kate suddenly spoke.

"Leonardo...deacon? I...what's wrong with me?"

She actually woke up!

Mind tricking is very ineffective on people with strong hearts. I didn't expect that this little girl is quite resistant to this.

The handsome young man stiffened for a moment and then said: "Well, you suddenly fainted just now. Let me help you check whether there is any trauma on the back of your head."

"Ah? So that's it...my hair is too long, is it okay?" Kate also felt a little dizzy, so she lifted up her long chestnut hair and let Lei Lei examine it.

The girl's fair neck was exposed in front of the young vampire, causing Lei Lei, who was trying hard to suppress his hunger and thirst, to have a cramp at the corner of his mouth. He pushed Kate away, and then said: "It's okay! You're not hurt. I'll call my sister over!"

The red-faced boy rushed out of the room, startling Linlin who was lying at the door eavesdropping.

"Sister, please take care of her, I'll go hunting!"

He has one last way to quench his hunger and thirst.

The hunting order is a special decree of the Zhu Ye Empire.

If vampires outside are hungry and thirsty, they can hunt humans as a last resort, but there are many restrictions.

Linlin looked at her brother with a little disappointment and said, "Keep your hands and feet clean and don't expose your whereabouts."

Seeing her brother about to rush out the door, she thought of something again and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaotan was lying comfortably on his bed reading a book, when Master Baldwin appeared at his door.

"Come, come out with me."

When the leader asks you to do something, of course you have to be obedient. Jiang Xiaotan immediately put on his cloak and followed Baldwin out.

When they arrived at the guild's front yard, there were already several hunters fully armed and waiting for them.

Among them is Evely.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xiaotan asked Eveli in a low voice.

"It seems that there is a suspected blood-sucking victim in the city."

The group of people arrived at a corner of Boxwood Street, where several knights of the Guards were already waiting for them.

Seeing the lord's brother coming in person, an older knight of the guard waved his hand and said: "The experts are here, make room for them."

Baldwin smiled and stepped forward to say hello, shook hands with the old knight by the wrist, and then asked: "What's going on?"

"Well, the body is there. You are an expert and should know better than us."

The old knight nodded at a dead tree-like "thing" on the ground.

Jiang Xiaotan looked at the thing and realized that it was a corpse that had been drained of flesh and blood.

"The flesh and blood has been sucked dry. It seems that this vampire has reached a certain level of hunger." Baldwin kicked the mummy with the toe of his boot, and then looked around.

"Has the identity of the body been confirmed? Is anyone missing around here?"

The old knight snorted: "This neighborhood is very chaotic. People disappear every day, whether they are murders or abductions."

"Isn't it the responsibility of your knights to maintain law and order in the city?"

"So what? The few silver coins your brother gave us are not enough to make a living. It's good that I didn't join those thieves."

Baldwin grinned: "As I said, you are a knight with a territory after all. The income from the territory every year is enough to support an old man like you till the end of his life."

The old knight snorted again and stopped answering.

While he was talking, a knight of the Guards brought a half-year-old child over. The child looked at him blankly for a while and said, "Yes, it's my lord. He wore the same clothes yesterday."

The old hunter showed a satisfied smile: "Let me tell you, it turns out that you, old boy, have found out everything. Tell me, who is it?"

"My lord, he was a gangster from nearby. He got very drunk in the pub yesterday and died here this morning."

The old knight briefly described the situation of the deceased. This gangster usually made a living by lending money, and was nicknamed Scarface Monte. Of course, there are no scars on his face now.

"It turns out it's cannibalism." Jiang Xiaotan, standing aside, said.

"What's the meaning?"

"Aren't loan sharks also called vampires?"

The old knight and hunter were stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times.

"This guy is quite interesting." The old knight patted Jiang Xiaotan's shoulder.

After laughing for a while, Baldwin squatted beside the body, held his chin and analyzed:

"However, even though they are all 'vampires', it does not mean that this scarface... what is he?"

"Scarface Monte."

"Oh, although Scarface Monte can meet people from all walks of life as a loan shark, the possibility of him coming into contact with a vampire is probably very low."

"Why?"

"Vampires are all rich and don't need to borrow loan sharks."

"I see, you old boy became a vampire hunter, are you just interested in the vampire's money?"

Baldwin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said nothing.

The old knight realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. The reason why the lord's brother became a vampire hunter had a bitter past.

More than ten years ago, Baldwin's six-year-old son was killed by a vampire.

The old knight laughed a few times, and then changed the subject: "So, why is this Scarface Monte targeted by a vampire?"

"Probably not being targeted, it's just bad luck." Baldwin paused, pointed at the corpse and said: "The corpse was sucked like this because the vampire was already very hungry. In this case, the vampire is not

Will care who the target is."

"In other words, committing crimes randomly." Jiang Xiaotan said.

"Random? This word is quite skillful." It seems that the old knight likes this novel vocabulary very much.

"Yes, that's what it means." Baldwin said.

"In that case, wouldn't it be possible to find the vampire by investigating the deceased's interpersonal relationships?" Jiang Xiaotan said.

"Yeah." Baldwin sighed.

"So, no traces were left at the scene?"

"Although he doesn't look like an experienced vampire from the point of abandoning the corpse casually, he didn't leave anything worth paying attention to. He should be a very thoughtful guy." Baldwin looked around the scene a few more times, trying to find something.

Come up with something.

"The bad thing about the murderer being a vampire is that there will be no blood stains left at the scene." The old knight also complained.

"Okay, let's go to the next place..." Baldwin stood up.

"Are you going to the tavern? Ask the last person who saw Scarface Monte if they have any clues?" Jiang said with a smile.

"Yes." Baldwin patted his shoulder, "You are very experienced in investigating vampires."

Jiang Xiaotan smiled indifferently and said nothing.
