The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 193

He stared intently into his sister's eyes.

"I feel like there's a hint of 'performance' in this. Rin, you don't have to pretend."

“You’ve become a vampire, you’re no longer the human you used to be. Pretending to be human and act like you used to be will only make your brother feel terrible.”

"Tell your brother, is something wrong at work? Were you threatened by your boss? Or is there something you're having trouble telling him?"

Xue Fan said with a worried expression.

"You've been acting all mysterious lately, locking yourself in your room to make phone calls, and you often seem to disappear without a word, and I can't reach you at all. What's wrong? Can you tell your brother?"

At this moment, the alarm set by Ludwig was constantly buzzing in Xue Xiaolin's mind.

Ludwig immediately took over Xue Xiaolin's consciousness completely.

"It's really nothing..."

Xue Xiaolin sat on the edge of the bed, head down, fidgeting with her hands.

"I just feel like the way my brother looks at me is different now. So I thought I'd dress up like I used to, maybe then he'll look at me the same way he used to..."

"As for work... you don't need to worry at all, brother. My boss did give me some trouble before, but luckily my best friend gave me advice, and now I'm not afraid of workplace harassment anymore. So... brother..."

Before "Xiao Lin" could finish speaking, Xue Fan hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lin, it's all my fault! After all this time, I still feel uneasy about your vampire identity. If you don't mind, how about we have my blood for dinner tonight?"

...

...

"Alright, you know what to do next, right?" Ludwig said to Rin in her mind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... I will be even more careful!" Xiao Lin replied.

Ludwig

Nozomi returned control of her body to Rin, then sighed helplessly.

"It seems the blood puppet modification plan still has flaws. Directly replacing my personality with it would make it too similar to my own character."

"However, there's no need to add more blood golems now. With them around, it's enough to ensure the smooth execution of the 'final step'."

Ludwig was quite satisfied before, because the blood golems she had created would never betray her; but now she was somewhat dissatisfied... because she was caught up in this complicated "maintenance work".

The reason for this is that her overly strong personality traits arouse suspicion among those familiar with the Blood Puppet. Ultimately, the Blood Puppet is a puppet controlled by her, only following her commands. Therefore, when faced with unmanageable situations, it will "crash," revealing numerous flaws and failing to dispel others' doubts.

In this situation, Ludwig needs to personally project her consciousness to read the memories in their minds and help them out of their predicament in time.

"Sigh, let's just hang in there a little longer. Once Dr. Zhou has the results, we can..."

Ludwig's brain never stops working, even in her sleep, because she spends all her rest time monitoring the blood golems, resulting in a severe lack of rest for both her body and brain. This is the main reason why she has been yawning so much lately.

"Haaah... Time to get up... I have to attend the morning court session today, and then listen to reports..."

"Coco, come help me change..."

Ludwig was taken aback.

"Oh, Coco went out."

She plopped back down onto the bed and pulled the blanket over herself.

"Since Coco isn't here, I can sleep a little longer. Hehe..."

...

boom! !

Ye Liuli kicked the door open in a huff.

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

In fact, if Coco had anticipated this would happen, she would have entrusted the care and service of the Queen to Ye Liuli during her mission.

This is Ye Liuli's "special mission"...

Miss Ye was also having a headache because of the Queen's excessive willfulness. Her temper was already bad, and it had naturally escalated to the point where she kicked the door open without saying a word.

"Little Ye, gurgle... that's so rude..."

"What is impolite? Your Majesty, look in the mirror and see who you should be saying this to?"

Chapter 217 Insider

bang bang bang-

ding ding ding-

"Meow!"

Faced with energy attacks coming from all directions at any moment, Reinhardt could only deploy a holy light barrier to protect itself, completely unaware of the current situation.

Because it is completely surrounded by an invisible "mirror prison," moving in any direction will teleport you back within a few steps...

"The surrounding scenery is all fake!"

It was aware of this fact.

"The enemy's true form is hidden outside this mirror prison; we must not act rashly..."

"But... my master still needs me, I can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Reinhardt was separated from Yin Shang by a single oversight during the sneak attack from the "Mirror Prison." Although it was extremely anxious, it was unable to break through the barrier due to the enemy's offensive and could only protect itself with its shield, helpless.

"Such a small spirit can construct such a sturdy shield. No wonder it's the embodiment of the Wandering Holy Sword..."

With a twist of space, Jones passed through the mirror prison and came to Reinhardt's side.

"The Holy Sword is indeed a very troublesome sacred artifact. We've given up on the Holy Lance. If we can bring the Holy Sword back, it would be a way to make amends."

Upon hearing this, Reinhardt hunched his back warily and took two steps back.

"You want to separate me from my master? Stop talking nonsense!"

The small cat's body burst forth with intense golden light, which then transformed into a pillar of light, forming the figure of a nun in black robes.

Sister Solid clenched her hands in front of her chest, glaring at Jones, her golden cat eyes gleaming with a dazzling flow of energy.

"Now that you've shown yourself, I don't need to hold back anymore."

...

Jones's expression finally showed a hint of surprise when he saw her.

"You're... a pawn? How is that possible..."

“Don’t call me by that code name,” Solid retorted impatiently.

Jones continued talking to himself:

"It seems we have no choice but to bring you back. A blood energy slave whose will had been completely destroyed and who had been transformed into a 'puppet' has actually been able to regain his self and has even become a Holy Light artifact spirit... This will be of great use to the group's research."

Jones undoubtedly reminded her of some "not-so-good" memories... of the unbearable period when her passionate love was exploited by a demon, turning her into a mindless, unrecognizable zombie.

"It is too late to pray for forgiveness."

She conjured a dream from her hand.

He conjured a holy sword, effortlessly held it level, and pointed it at the genuine "demon" before him.

"This sword will judge your sins!"

call--!

She raised her holy sword and slashed at Jones, but in the next instant, Jones easily caught her seemingly unstoppable, fiery strike.

"What...!"

As Solid looked on in disbelief, Jones's entire body began to twist and contort in a strange way, like ripples on the surface of water.

"Blood energy can act on itself, do I need to remind you of that?"

"Any power that can be reflected by [Illusionless Image]... can never touch me in the slightest."

...

...

...

Jones said the same thing to Solid, Yin Shang, and Ruo Keke at the same time.

The fact that this guy can appear and fight in front of three people simultaneously is enough to show that he possesses an ability similar to "cloning"...

But the three people who are separated at this moment cannot possibly realize this.

Since Yin Shang lost the ability to control the Holy Light in battle, and was forced to fight alone without mastering blood energy, he naturally became the one who was the most difficult to deal with [Strategist] Jones among the three.

After some time, Jones had already left Yin Shang battered and bruised by a series of attacks.

However, Yin Shang ultimately possessed the physique of a high-ranking vampire, and in no time, all the wounds on his body were completely healed amidst the sizzling sound.

"That's it?"

Yin Shang scoffed.

"Are you doing gua sha treatment? I'm a vampire now! Unless you show some real skills, you're just wasting my time."

"...Or is it that...you're maintaining this massive mirror prison to isolate us, leaving little power for your clone to use?"

Jones was taken aback. After only a few moves, this kid was able to guess the information so accurately?

He calmly said, "Stop making pointless guesses. What clone... Since you're planning to wage a war of attrition, then go ahead and try. Will I push your self-healing ability to its limit first, or will you break my mirror prison first?"

...

Upon hearing this, Yin Shang let out a cold laugh.

"That's what you said."

He slowly straightened up and assumed a horse stance.

"I guess...you haven't witnessed my blood energy yet, have you?"

"No one in this world knows what my blood energy is, as a new member of the vampire clan. Even I myself only have a vague understanding of it."

Jones scoffed: "That's precisely why you're so easily defeated. How can a newborn vampire who doesn't even understand his own blood energy... no, an inferior and savage vampire... compare himself to us 'new humans'?"

call--!

Blood energy began to gather in Yin Shang's palm, forming a strange energy flow that belonged only to him.

"Stop spouting those nonsensical lines all day long."

"If you're not going to shut up... I'll give you a hand."

He raised his head with a sinister grin, his blood-red eyes radiating the arrogance of a vampire.

"Power...is terrifying precisely because it is out of control!"

...

...

...

Just as Solid and Rucoco were still struggling to deal with the attack, Jones, who was in front of them, disappeared without a trace.

Buzz—Click!

"Ah ah!"

"Whoa!"

The sound of shattering glass was extremely loud all around them, and they all gasped and covered their ears.

Then, when they opened their eyes, the scenery around them had changed. They saw each other and noticed that they were in an abandoned factory building inside the factory.

And... not far away, Yin Shang, dressed in tattered clothes.

Solid exclaimed, "Brother Yin! What, what happened—"

Yin Shang, panting heavily, shook his head to indicate that he was alright.

"It's nothing! It seems the illusion has been dispelled!"

If Coco and Solid followed Yin Shang's gaze, they would then notice that the entire factory seemed to be in some kind of strange dislocation...
