Chapter 32 is quite sophisticated.

Mo Yu smiled on the surface, but was cursing inwardly.

What happened to the servants not being food? How did he become emergency rations? Is the bottom line really that flexible?
"This...this is my honor."

Mo Yu unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his neck, bracing himself for a bite. But he found Elise staring at him, completely still.

The two stared at each other.

After a stalemate of one minute.

Mo Yu couldn't help but ask, "Young Miss? Would you like to take a drag?"

"You mean... you want me to suck it myself?" Elise asked rhetorically, her expression suggesting genuine confusion rather than a joke.

Mo Yu shrugged and said, "What else?"

Elise raised her chin and said proudly, "I will never use such a vulgar and barbaric way of eating."

"What will you do if you get hungry?"

"Number 1 will prepare the blood plasma in advance, heat it to 40 degrees, and then add three sugar cubes."

"Tsk, that's quite particular. What if Number 1 isn't here?"

Elise tilted her head, and blood thorns spilled from her body, instantly wrapping around Mo Yu's entire body. She explained, "It's fine to use blood magic to extract life force, but disposing of the corpse is a bit troublesome and could easily be noticed by the demon hunters."

Mo Yu carefully pushed aside the blood thorns, stood up and said, "I'll go get a bowl to bleed you."

Elise said, "Fine, just give me your hand."

Mo Yu hesitated for a moment, then extended her left hand.

Elise reached out her two small hands and grabbed Mo Yu's left arm, examining it from all angles. She opened her mouth several times and then closed it again, as if she was contemplating how to bite him.

Mo Yu's lips twitched a few times, and he suggested, "Why don't you bite my neck? You were quite skilled at biting me before."

Elise refused, saying, "No, only certain rituals and hunts involve biting necks."

As she spoke, she seemed to have found a way to bite him, sticking out her little pink tongue to lick the back of Mo Yu's hand and gently biting it.

Mo Yu felt a soft, cold, and moist touch, followed by a slight stinging sensation, and then a tingling, numb feeling all over her arm. It didn't hurt at all; in fact, it felt quite pleasant.

Vampire teeth have a paralyzing effect.

It feels good to be bitten.

It was as if all the nerve cells had been activated.

It's not quite what I expected.

Mo Yu looked at Iris with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

The other person hugged his arm like a baby bottle, gently sucking on the back of his hand.

Ten minutes later, Elise finally relented.

The wound healed quickly.

When Mo Yu withdrew her hand, the bite mark on the back of her hand disappeared.

Elise looked satisfied, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, got up from her dining chair, lay back down on the sofa, and continued reading.

After clearing away the dishes, Mo Yu gave an excuse:

"I'm going downstairs to buy some snacks."

"Go."

After Elise agreed, he finally had the opportunity to go out, leave the apartment building, go to a convenience store further away to buy a large bag of snacks to bring back, and stop at a few suitable rewind points along the way.

Return to the apartment.

He had just put the snacks down when Elise ran over and snatched them away.

Nothing happened in the afternoon.

If I had to say something, it would be that Elise devoured two-thirds of the snacks.

As dusk fell, the maid came in from the balcony and bowed to Iris, saying, "Miss, the room has been cleaned."

Elise responded and got up to leave.

The two disappeared from the balcony.

Finally left.

Mo Yu jumped up from the bed, called to Alpha, and checked the videotape.

In the video:
Elise grabbed Alpha, examined it from all sides, and then used it as a footrest, sitting down to read quietly.

I got up twice during that period.

I walked around the room for a while, observed my surroundings, and then sat down again.

She approached the bed a second time, stared at Mo Yu for a while, then took the water bottle from the bedside table. She looked at Mo Yu, then at the bottle, then back at Mo Yu, then back at the bottle. She then returned to the sofa, sat down, tucked the water bottle between her legs, rubbed her stomach, and continued reading. After a while, she finished the water and threw the bottle in the trash.

Mo Yu scratched his head in confusion.

There's nothing particularly special about it, so why did Elise react so strongly?
Could it be...

Mo Yu replayed the video several times and noticed that when Elise moved her body, her movements were quite large, revealing some pieces of fabric.

Pure white, adorned with pink butterfly knots.

Is that why? Mo Yu couldn't figure it out. He turned off the video, left the apartment, and sent a signal to Iris to go outside for a while before returning.

Start rewinding, going back to the time after lunch when you went out to buy snacks, and release the mirror image.

He walked in another direction.

To prepare for the next steps.

……

The midday sun was quite scorching; summer was just around the corner, and temperatures were rising.

Abu, Fat Mouse, and Shell sat in front of a coffee shop, drinking cold drinks and looking around. They contacted the boss from yesterday via their phones and agreed to meet at this corner coffee shop.

After waiting for a long time, a strange man appeared around the corner.

He wore a clown mask, but was dressed in a suit, impeccably groomed, and carried a large black leather suitcase.

The three of them glanced at it and then looked away.

There are many strange people in Texas, and they don't find it strange.

Shell lay on the table and said, "Why isn't the handsome guy here yet? I'm going to die."

The fat mouse looked resentful: "Is the chance to latch onto a powerful figure gone?"

Abu yelled, "It's not time yet, what are you two arguing about?"

Shell retorted: "It's all your fault, you had to come so early."...

As the three were arguing, a black leather suitcase was placed on the table, silencing all the noise.

A clown in a suit stands in front of the table.

The three of them froze instantly, their hands reaching for the boxes containing weapons, creating a tense atmosphere.

Mo Yu said, "Good afternoon. You've arrived so early. It's me. Did you recognize me?"

The three of them instantly relaxed.

Abu complained, "Hey buddy, what are you doing? Don't you know that playing the clown is scary?"

Mo Yu replied, "Isn't this because I wanted to do something special? I even came up with a code name for myself: Thug."

Abu clicked his tongue and said, "Your code name doesn't sound like that of a good person."

The fat mouse and the seashell agreed.

Mo Yu said, "I'm not a good person either."

Abu said, "We're good people because we're eliminating evil! I recommend you come up with something unique, that way people will remember you."

Mo Yu said, "We can't call it a level 8 gale, can we?"

The three of them said, "This name is good!"

"roll."……

The four argued about the codenames, but ultimately chose "Thug." The issue quickly returned to normal, and the focus shifted to how to proceed.

Mo Yu immediately said, "When I killed that vampire yesterday, she revealed the location of their lair and even challenged me to stay away."

The three of them looked completely bewildered.

Is this something that can be talked about?
Are there vampires who would expose their own family background like this?

Won't doing this get me kicked out?

"In short, follow me and we'll move out before daybreak."

Mo Yu made a solemn vow.

The three looked at each other and decided to follow him to see what was going on.

Following the map, the four arrived at the foot of an apartment building.

This is a new apartment building with nearly 30 floors. It is a very new building in this old town area, and there is a large flow of people coming and going.

Shell asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place?"

“It’s here, I see the footprints.” Mo Yu replied. He wasn’t lying. In his field of vision, there were dense footprints on the ground, all traces left by vampires.

With the Monster Compendium feature, vampires will leave indelible marks on any place they pass through for a certain period of time.

The footprints were all taken within 24 hours.

Mo Yu led the three people into the apartment and took the elevator to the second basement level.

The elevator door opens.

The hallway was pitch black; the motion-sensor lights were all broken and wouldn't turn on no matter how many times I called them.

Mo Yu strode out.

The three members of the Shell were a little scared, but they immediately followed and surrounded him closely, even taking out flashlights to provide light.

Follow the footprints on the ground and wander through the complex, maze-like second basement level.

After turning more than a dozen corners, a set of steps leading downwards appeared. The steps were deep, and turning right at the end, one could not see what lay beyond. A cold, damp wind blew in, carrying the musty, decaying smell of dampness.

Mo Yu made a shushing gesture, placed the box on the ground, opened it, and began assembling the guns inside.
