Chapter 16 Before Sunset

The old man moved so fast that it was beyond Mo Yu's perception. Before he could see the old man's movements clearly, a long knife was pressed against his throat.

It was a cane knife.

It was placed on the side of the table earlier, and it was very inconspicuous.

Undeterred, Mo Yu continued arrogantly, "Come on, kill me. If I get hurt, I guarantee that woman will be torn to pieces."

The old man took out his phone and made a call, but no one answered. He asked in a cold voice, "Where is the young lady?"

Mo Yu said, "This is not the place to talk. Our boss wants to see you."

The old man sneered, "Don't try to fool me, the young lady is still in the cable car."

"Oh, then take another look," Mo Yu replied with a grin. "Auricular implants are easy to find."

Seeing that the old man was fearless, he rewound the camera and spied on him from behind. He discovered that the old man's phone had a map and a red dot location, and immediately realized that Mary had a tracking device on her.

Rewind and repeat.

After checking several times inside the cable car, he dug out a small chip from behind Mary's ear to destroy it, then went back to negotiate with the old man and continued his conversation.

The red dot disappears.

The old man's phone started issuing warnings.

His face darkened.

The shop owner noticed something was wrong and walked over.

Mo Yu continued to raise the stakes, saying, "The cross can't save her; we've been planning this for a long time."

After hesitating for a moment, the old man put away his cane and knife, warning, "Don't hurt her, or Lieyue will make you pay a heavy price!"

"Don't worry, she won't die. Let's go see our boss."

Mo Yu stood up and explained to the boss who approached her that the two of them had staged the video, which was why it hadn't attracted much attention. They left smoothly, boarded the sightseeing bus that had been prepared, and headed out of the amusement park.

After leaving the amusement park, they hailed a taxi and drove far, far away, until the old man lost his patience and once again pulled out his long knife and held it to Mo Yu's neck, demanding:
"Where are we going?"

"That's it."

Mo Yu smiled and disappeared on the spot, leaving only the old man whose expression had changed drastically.

This is his mirror image.

A tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

100,000 Leagues Under the Sea Project Office.

Mo Yu leaned against the wall.

At this moment, he was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap, tossing a coin in his hand, his gaze fixed on the clock tower in the distance, watching the second hand keep turning.

After the second hand completed one revolution, he caught the coin and tossed it to the side and behind him.

The coin rolled, drawing two circular tracks before stopping. A door with a sign that read "No Entry for Non-Staff" opened, and a staff member came out. He noticed the coin on the ground, bent down, and picked it up.

Mo Yu took the opportunity to slip inside the door.

After picking up the coins, the staff member turned around and locked the door.

Mo Yu moved along the corridor and, based on the door number, quickly found the power distribution room and broke down the door to enter.

After calculating the time, he pulled the main switch and then kicked it out with all his might. The terrifying power unleashed by his 5.3 physique instantly deformed the metal electrical box, sending sparks flying.

The area is completely without power.

After leaving the power distribution room, Mo Yu entered the employee maintenance passage next to it, moved along the tunnel, kicked open a locked door, and successfully found the cable car that Mary had taken.

The mirror image has dug out the cross, destroyed the tracker, and knocked Mary unconscious.

Mo Yu opened the cable car door, put the cross in his pocket, used duct tape to stop Mary's bleeding, stuffed her into a sack, and left through the staff passage.

I ran into staff members as soon as I stepped out.

Mo Yu, relying on his extraordinary strength, lifted the sack with one hand, making it seem effortless. No one would doubt that there was a living person inside.

He used a sightseeing vehicle to move around.

Along the way, he also found a place to store his belongings, put the cross in a small box and stored it there, noting down the retrieval number so he could pick it up anytime.

Take Mary to the volcano castle.

This is a huge themed area with a large volcano castle in the center, which is divided into several levels and is quite spectacular.

Mo Yu drove the sightseeing vehicle around twice, found a downward tunnel, and went underground. This area was mainly for staff activities. In an inconspicuous corner, on a wall, he found the "x" mark the maid had mentioned.

Get out of the car and observe.

This is a wall simulating volcanic rock, and there is no entrance in sight.

Mo Yu reached out and knocked, only to find that the wall behind it was empty. He then pounded on the door, and the wall quickly opened inward. A person wearing sunglasses poked their head out and yelled, "What are you doing? Go away, get out of here, don't linger." Blood-red characters appeared.

This person is a vampire.

Elise's subordinate.

After confirming the location, Mo Yu rewound a bit and headed straight here from the area entrance, cutting off the search time in between.

He took off his sunglasses and mask, pointed to himself, and said, "Look closely, it's me."

"Who are you? I don't know you."

"I am the human who fell into the pool the day before yesterday. As requested by Number 1, I was abducted."

Mo Yu pointed to the sacks on the back of the sightseeing bus.

After looking Mo Yu up and down, the vampire left a message saying "Wait a moment" and closed the door. A moment later, the door opened again, and this time a bald man came out, who was the knight-level vampire he had seen yesterday.

The bald man looked Mo Yu up and down, then frowned and asked, "You... are that food?"

"Or what? I've brought the man here, you can see for yourself."

Mo Yu rolled her eyes and pointed to the sack.

The bald man stepped forward to check and, upon discovering Mary in the sack, became excited and shouted to his subordinates, "Quick, quick, open the door!" He also nervously looked around.

The wall opens.

There's a small garage in the back.

Drive the sightseeing vehicle into the garage.

During this process, the bald man was on high alert, and the other vampires were also very nervous.

Mo Yu asked, "What are you all so nervous about?"

The bald man replied, "This woman should have someone protecting her. How did you manage to knock her unconscious and put her in the sack?"

Mo Yu replied, "I was afraid of being noticed during the underwater tunnel, so I deliberately used the staff entrance."

"Well done, human." After praising him, the bald man called to his men, "Quickly, gather everyone and begin the operation."

A vampire said, "Lord Number 12, it's still daytime. Shall we wait until the sun sets?"

“It’s dangerous to stay here. Once the people from Lieyue realize something’s wrong, they’ll definitely call for help,” the bald man replied, hoisting the sack onto his shoulder and leaving, with the others following closely behind.

Mo Yu followed.

Behind the garage is the staff activity area, which has been occupied by vampires.

Two more knight-level vampires appeared, one male and one female. According to the other vampires, one was number 7 and the other was number 9.

They were all very excited and started making a fuss after they went up to check.

"They really brought the person here?"

"We prepared for so long, but it was all for nothing."

"Stop arguing, this is a good thing. We don't even need to lift a finger. The important part of the operation is what we need to focus on now."

"The sun hasn't set yet... Let's move out, we can't wait. Inform the young lady."

Mo Yu listened quietly.

From the few words he uttered, he also roughly understood Elise's plan.

The plan was to lure their target here after sunset, using the haunted house as cover to abduct them. The vampires didn't reveal what happened next, only stating that other knight-level vampires would be there to assist them; this was a plan they had been preparing for a long time.

To the vampires' surprise, Mo Yu had already brought the person over around 1 p.m.

The sun was shining brightly outside, which wasn't good for the vampires, but they still decided to move.

The group went down the stairs to the underground parking lot, which is specifically for employees and has a passageway that allows them to leave the amusement park directly.

There are three vans parked here.

In just a few minutes, more than 20 vampires, all of them elite, gathered.

Number 12 shoved Mary into a van, with two elite vampires flanking the unconscious Mary on either side.

Other vampires also started getting on board.

Mo Yu said, "I want to go too."

Number 12 then remembered Mo Yu and instructed him, "Human, you don't need to get involved in the rest. Leave here quickly. Once this is over, the young lady will reward you."

Mo Yu didn't argue; he silently noted down the license plate number and left.

He had a nascent idea about how to get in touch with the Witcher.
