After hearing the news, Elrod stood there in a daze for a long time. He was unwilling to believe Ian's words and kept muttering "This is impossible".

It was not until the church member who was holding Jenny called out to Elrod and reminded him that Jenny and Ian were both dead, one from excessive blood loss, and the other from the pressure of the magic circle.

Looking at the two people who had lost their breath, Elrod was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and turned back the time to half an hour ago.

At this time, Elrod was still standing in front of the Knights' Gate, planning to go in and ask Ian about Gu Sui Nuan's whereabouts. However, this time, he did not choose to go in, but turned back to the cathedral.

Elrod was unwilling to believe Ian's words. He had clearly seen Gu Sui Nuan and the vampire in the same scene, and the vampire even wanted to kill Gu Sui Nuan.

But when Elrod carefully recalled the girl who came to assassinate him that day, he recalled every detail.

Elrod realized later that the person did not look like the original granddaughter of the Pekka family, but more like his Suisui.

She could have obviously avoided the magical attack in the church, but she chose to take it anyway because the civilians were still there.

She never likes to hurt innocent people.

Elrod reached for the thing on his body that he used to detect magic weapons. He had taken this thing from the pile of treasures of the man behind the scenes in order to confirm whether Gu Sui Nuan was still using the magic weapon that created illusions.

So, what was detected at that time was actually the magic weapon that created the illusion. Because she didn't want Elrod to discover her identity, Gu Sui Nuan was so anxious to break the thing?

Elrod frowned, trying to carefully recall the expression on the girl's face, but at that time he was too reluctant to even take a second look at her. How could he know what her expression was before she died?

Elrod's hands loosened and clenched again, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that it was not his Suisui, and that Suisui was not dead.

Until someone brought the thing found from the girl's ashes, the dusty sapphire necklace, and placed it in front of Elrod.

He picked up the sapphire with trembling hands, examined it carefully, and finally confirmed that it was the necklace he gave to Gu Sui Nuan.

"Maybe... maybe it was just that person who stole Sui Sui's jewel necklace?"

Elrod muttered to himself and injected magic power into the sapphire, and then a sound came out of the gem.

The voice turned out to be the conversation between Gu Sui Nuan and Simingbo in the space after she put on the jewel necklace.

Gu Sui Nuan and Simingbo had not expected it, that this sapphire necklace, although not attached with any magic power, had the ability to record sounds?

"…I knew that the moment he told me he loved me, I would want to die…"

When Elrod heard these words from Gu Sui Nuan's mouth, his expression became shocked and hurt, but as the voice recording continued, Elrod also heard Gu Sui Nuan's regret.

She said, Si Mingbo, I don’t want to die anymore.

She said, I wish I could survive.

Elrod could hear Gu Sui Nuan's reluctance, and also heard that she and the guy called Simingbo were planning to fake their own death and escape.

So she had to die? Why, because Elrod said he loved her?

Elrod didn't understand and could only continue listening. He heard that Gu Sui Nuan planned to use magic weapons to create an illusion, pretend to be killed by Elrod, and then hide secretly.

However, the magic weapon she had planned had already been destroyed after being discovered by Elrod, and Elrod saw with his own eyes that she was engulfed by flames and burned to a pile of ashes.

"Miss Gu, Suisui, Nuannuan..." The name was pieced together. Gu Suinuan was the unpopular granddaughter of the Pekka family.

This time, Elrod had to believe it even if he didn't want to.

Elrod soon found the things Gu Suinan left for him in the inconspicuous utility room in Pekka's garden.

The moment the magic weapon bound to Elrod, he saw the space full of potions, as well as half of Gu Sui Nuan's magic power flowing in the magic container with golden light.

When preparing these for Elrod, Gu Sui Nuan was still thinking about preventing Elrod from being exposed and getting hurt in the future. She wanted Elrod to use half of her magic power to turn those vampires back to normal.

She considered Elrod and the people, but she never expected that the person who would actually put her to death in the end would be Elrod.

Elrod still held the magic container in his hand. The magic power inside was so gentle, just like the time when he used forceful means to extract the remaining magic power of Gu Sui Nuan, and the layers of magic that dispersed were also so gentle.

But at that time, Elrod didn't even care about Gu Sui Nuan's conscious resistance, nor how painful it was for her. He drained all her magic power in the cruelest way.

The tears fell without her noticing, hitting the back of his hand and landing on the container.

The words recorded in the Sapphire Records echoed in Elrod's mind over and over again.

Gu Sui Nuan said that she wanted to live.

She wants to live.

That way she could be with Elrod again when it was all over.

She was telling the truth when she said she would let Elrod see his true face, and she was also telling the truth when she said she wanted to be with Elrod in the future.

When Elrod connected all the things, he soon understood why Gu Sui Nuan came to him.

She seemed to have a mission, and killing the Pekka family and Herman was one of her missions. And staying with Elrod, and finally being killed by Elrod when Elrod fell in love with her was also one of her missions.

However, because of Elrod, Gu Sui Nuan felt compassion. She didn't want to die and wanted to stay with Elrod, but she had to complete her mission.

So she came up with the idea of ​​faking her death, thinking that Elrod didn't know she was a half-vampire, and that Elrod wouldn't find out that she had magic weapons on her and wouldn't be too cruel to her.

However, Elrod was only gentle and harmless when facing Gu Sui Nuan.

He had long been accustomed to the indifference of human nature and didn't care about the lives of outsiders at all.

Just as Ian said, where Gu Sui Nuan couldn't see, Elrod's hands were stained with blood, he took human life lightly and was cold-blooded and ruthless.

Perhaps God couldn't bear it anymore. So, Gu Sui Nuan, who could have survived and accompanied him, was killed by Elrod.

"Sui Sui, you were in so much pain at that time, but you still tried to resist my control. It was because you really wanted to survive, right?"

The surroundings were empty, and Elrod began to talk to himself. When Gu Sui Nuan first came, he could neither see nor touch her, and he often talked to the air like this.

"You persisted for so long and endured so much pain until the moment when your magic power was almost drained."

"You need to die in front of me, so you can't reveal your identity at that time. But if you lose your magic power, the magic circle that hides your aura will become ineffective. You have no choice but to burn yourself to death..."

Elrod watched with his own eyes as the strange flames engulfed Gu Sui Nuan, and as she lost her breath and turned into a handful of ashes, Elrod couldn't even deceive himself that it was all fake.
