Chapter 67 Lying on the Plank

The screams faded into the distance and eventually disappeared completely from sight.

Only then did Ang Lee take a look around at the "subordinates" he had taken in.

This is what I've accomplished in the past two days.

At that time, Count Dracula's task for himself was to find government officials or people with a certain influence and turn them into vampires in order to expand the influence of his race.

However, she had her own agenda at the time. Although she had been transformed into a vampire, as long as she hadn't yet targeted government officials, there was still room for maneuver.

So she selected some ordinary people to convert, trying to fool them.

However, I didn't expect that I would be seen through at a glance before I could say anything.

This made Ang Lee abandon any wishful thinking and decide to do as the other party said.

Clearly, there's no turning back now; there's no going back.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a faint sadness.

However, seeing the fervor and trust in the eyes of his subordinates around him, Ang Lee perked up again.

The gathering of these people was somewhat unexpected.

At the time, she thought that since she was going to convert her subordinates anyway, she might as well convert those who were physically disabled or suffering from terminal illnesses, just to do a good deed.

Unexpectedly, somehow, the rumor spread like wildfire, and the "holy maiden" began to circulate in the black market.

Most of those present who had been transformed into vampires were severely disabled or terminally ill patients on the verge of death.

This is precisely why, after accidentally becoming vampires, these people became exceptionally fanatical and loyal to Ang Lee.

Because of this good reputation, people keep coming to visit.

In addition to those who were converted, relatives and friends of some disabled people or terminally ill patients were also extremely grateful.

They spontaneously established the Salvation Church, taking on the responsibility of providing intelligence and financial support for the organization's development. They managed to build a mysterious organization in the shadows of the city, even though Ang Lee couldn't understand it.

Regardless, the outcome was good.

Although I didn't complete the task assigned by my master, having such an organization makes everything much easier.

Thinking about the tasks to be assigned, Ang Lee began to make plans in his mind.

Seeing that it was almost time, he called out to the side.

"Tell Joel to hurry up. We have a very important task today, and we need to plan ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gaunt vampire instantly transformed into a blur and darted to the spot where the burly man had just walked away.

A moment later, he rushed back, then bowed extremely respectfully and said solemnly.

"Your Holiness, Joel has cleaned up the mess. What is the next step?"

Hearing this swift and decisive answer, Ang Lee nodded.

Although he didn't know how they did it, his subordinates were exceptionally efficient, which satisfied him greatly.

After lowering his eyes and thinking for a moment, Li An slowly spoke.

"Follow yesterday's plan, take a secret route to the vicinity of the church, and then we'll make our move after sunset."

As the order was given, the vampires around him, who were clearly the leaders, all nodded.

Then everyone made way, and four tall, burly men slowly approached, carrying something that looked extremely heavy.

Under the dim light, one could see that it was a magnificent, ornately decorated, black coffin, with a huge gold-inlaid cross on the coffin lid.

Overall, it looks understated yet luxurious and sophisticated, elegant, classic, and comfortable.

Seeing this, Ang Lee's eyes were filled with helplessness.

These subordinates are good in every way, except they always say things like "the saintess cannot be defiled," and every time they go on a long journey, they insist on lying in this coffin and being carried all the way.

It's not that I have a problem with coffins, it's just that I'm not used to this kind of grand way of going out.

After all, he's a vampire. If we follow the legends, he'll not only have to lie in a coffin when he goes out, but he'll also have to sleep in one. So what's there to complain about?

I've always been taught to be low-key, so I'm not used to such a "flashy" way of traveling. I tried arguing with them a few times, but I couldn't change their minds.

In the end, the situation escalated to the point where several of the gang leaders threatened suicide, and Ang Lee finally gave in and accepted the situation.

Upon seeing Ang Lee approach, the four burly men carrying the black coffin quickly stopped and bowed their heads in respect.

Then, two people respectfully lifted the coffin lid, revealing a bright red velvet inner core that looked quite soft and comfortable.

Having ridden in the coffin a few times before, Ang Lee didn't say much. He simply stepped inside with a sigh and lay down in the enormous coffin.

To be honest, if you put aside the fact that it's a coffin, it's actually quite comfortable. You can tell that the people working here put a lot of thought into the design.

This is one of the reasons why she was initially resistant but eventually accepted it.

Ang Lee placed his hands on his lower abdomen, slowly closed his eyes, and felt a soft sensation all over his body.

Although it was a coffin, it didn't feel cramped. Ang Lee is petite, and compared to the coffin which was over two meters long, it was still very spacious for one person to lie down.

Outside, Ang Lee lay down inside, and two people carrying the lid respectfully and carefully closed him up.

Then a group of people, their eyes filled with fervor, surrounded the coffin, maintaining a loose but protective formation, and quickly disappeared into the dark alley, weaving back and forth among the complex and dirty buildings.

This was a route that had been scouted beforehand, a route that wouldn't be exposed to sunlight even during the day.

In locations where sunlight was unavoidable, local residents had erected sunshade boards in advance to ensure that the entire route would be completely shaded.

This pre-planned route leads directly to the vicinity of the cathedral in the west of the city.

That church was the most prominent building in the entire city, and it could be said to be the place of faith for all the believers in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, this magnificent church, filled with holiness and faith, is not open to the public for various reasons.

Only a few local political figures and officials, and some people with great social influence, would enter on Sundays under the guise of fundraising and prayer.

Tomorrow is the day these important figures will gather.

It can be said that if an ambush were set up there, the city's lower and middle classes, as well as most of the rulers and influential people, could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, Li An's men, dressed in black robes and black trench coats, were still secretly making their way.

As we drove through the winding road, the area was cleared of debris, and ordinary people were stationed to guard and manage the surveillance cameras and other easily visible locations.

The people present were all blessed by the "Saintess," and their long stamina and speed, which allowed them to leave afterimages after being transformed into vampires, enabled them to move quickly even in this complex environment.

Only the enormous coffin at the center of the procession seemed likely to slow them down.

Fortunately, although the coffin was made with the best materials and decorations, it weighed several hundred kilograms.

However, they always chose the strongest vampires in the organization to carry the sacred coffin, so their speed was still far beyond that of ordinary people.

It took less than ten minutes to get to the alleyway closest to the cathedral.

After that, with the cooperation of ordinary people within the organization, they can enter the church as soon as the sun sets.

Then, vampires will disguise themselves and replace all the servants and bishops in the cathedral, waiting for those people to arrive on Sunday so they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Once everyone arrived at the pre-arranged location, they heard a chirping sound coming from a long-abandoned ventilation duct nearby.

next moment.

A light-colored bat flew out, landed on the ground, wriggled for a moment, and quickly grew into a thin, seemingly young man.

He glanced around quickly and noticed the dark coffin surrounded by the crowd. His eyes immediately lit up with a fanatical adoration.

He bowed his head in respect towards the coffin before turning his gaze to his superior, the captain of one of the vampire squads, and then spoke excitedly.

"Captain Eric, I've scouted the interior of the church and the people nearby. There are 32 nuns, one bishop, two archdeacons, and four priests!"

He paused for a moment, perhaps feeling somewhat disrespectful, then suppressed the excitement in his voice and continued speaking.

"...The prepared costumes have already been transported to the designated locations on the perimeter, and they can quickly replace the church staff in various positions as soon as it gets dark."

Eric nodded as he listened to the boy's report.

He exchanged glances with the other captains beside him, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes.
