Vampires are not afraid of the scorching sun as people say.

It's just that under strong sunlight, their abilities will be greatly weakened and they can't hurt anyone. Some vampires even lose their lives because their abilities are weakened by strong light because they haven't sucked human blood for a long time.

Vampires do not necessarily feed on human blood. They can also feed on animal blood or manufactured blood instead of human blood. Vampires who feed on human blood must hunt for human blood within a certain period of time, otherwise they will starve to death.

The night of the full moon is almost the time when vampires are at their best. Hunting on this day can greatly enhance the vampire's ability, making it easier to obtain fresh blood during later hunts.

Therefore, Song Yiran combined her own guess with the relevant plot about vampires, and even the ringing of the bell, which made her basically conclude that the death of the housekeeper and another person might have been caused by vampire hunting!

Just, this bell.

Song Yiran was still a little confused. Did the bell mean that the time had come and the vampires could start the hunting game?

But apart from the corpses, no traces of vampire hunting have been found in this castle.

Even blood.

Or props.

There wasn't a single clue about vampires.

And the existence of vampires is all because of that child.

"Sister Su Li, please take me to the room where the child's voice appeared." Song Yiran looked at Su Li sincerely with her watery eyes.

Su Li let out an "ah", obviously a little reluctant.

It’s not that I don’t want to take Song Yiran with me.

It’s just… that kid’s voice is nothing under normal circumstances.

But in this castle where more than one murder has occurred, it's quite creepy...

Song Yiran noticed Su Li's fear and patted her chest, saying, "I can protect you. I've played horror dungeons many times before, and I've trained myself from a coward to the tank I am now. I have enough confidence to protect you. Just stay behind me."

Su Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does the child have any crucial evidence?"

"Yes!" Song Yiran nodded. "Generally speaking, encountering NPCs during a mission basically triggers the plot, and the information you get from them is more direct than the clues you collect. You can even get key evidence from them that you can't find through other clues."

"Should we go look for that man as well?" Su Li looked at Song Yiran curiously, with a desire for knowledge in her eyes, like a studious student.

"That man may be hard to find, but we can try our luck." Song Yiran smiled sweetly.

"What are you talking about? Take me with you."

Seeing the two girls chatting animatedly, Xu Yiming quietly approached them.

Just as Song Yiran was about to speak, she saw Bai Musheng walking towards them and immediately fell silent.

Su Li also noticed Song Yiran's somewhat unnatural movements and was a little confused.

Start the second round of collecting clues.

Wait until everyone focuses their attention on the first floor.

Su Li and Song Yiran quietly went up to the third floor.

Su Li, who was walking up the stairs, thought of Xiao Ran's abnormal behavior just now and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly stop talking just now?"

Song Yiran pursed her lips, glanced around quietly, and after making sure that no one was around, she moved closer to Su Li and said, "I'm actually a little suspicious of Bai Musheng's identity."

"Isn't he just a male concubine?" Su Li was puzzled.

Song Yiran shook her head and explained, "At first, I also thought there shouldn't be any problem with the role of Bai Musheng's male favorite, but the location of the vampire hunt was chosen in the castle. My guess is that the clues from the little boy and the man all point to the castle. Could it be that someone in the castle is the vampire we are looking for, and the murderer of the butler and another corpse whose identity is still unknown?"

"The suspicion is focused on me and Bai Musheng?" Su Li raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Song Yiran's analysis is not without reason. Vampires will naturally choose secluded places for hunting. The castle is an extremely eerie and terrifying place. Unless it is a special time, basically no one will come here.

Thinking of this, Su Li was once again filled with doubts: "If the castle is chosen as a place for vampire hunting, then the people invited today..."

"Either some of them are the vampire's accomplices, and the others are the vampire's hunting targets today; or, the vampire's target today is everyone." Song Yiran made a bold guess.

Then today, the night of the full moon, is not the day of blood disaster!

"Which possibility do you think is more likely?" Su Li walked quickly to Song Yiran.

Song Yiran took the lead and opened the door of the room where Su Li mentioned the little boy's voice came from. "I can't guarantee it."

"elder sister!!!"

The crisp sound of a baby was suddenly heard, and then a shadow ran out from inside and hugged Su Li behind Song Yiran.

Su Li widened her eyes, and before she could react, she felt something wet on her arm. She looked down and found blood on the boy's forehead.

Fortunately, it wasn't what she had in mind...

"Sister, please save me, I don't want to die..." The boy's tears flowed freely, like a faucet that had been opened, and he couldn't stop them at all.

To be on the safe side, Song Yiran closed the door, squatted down, took the boy's arm and asked, "Sister wants to ask you a few questions."

The boy looked terrified and didn't seem to believe Song Yiran. He looked at Su Li with a conflicted expression.

Su Li was also confused as to why the boy trusted her so much.

Su Li then squatted down and looked at the boy's injuries. It seemed that he had bumped into something.

"How did the wound come about?" Su Li asked.

The boy stared at Su Li's face for a long moment, then said with a nasal voice, "My father and I came to the castle to check in, but suddenly a thick fog arose around the castle, and my father and I fell into a coma. When we woke up again, my father and I were in the castle, but not long after he woke up, he was taken away by a masked man. After a long time, my father didn't come back, and neither did the masked man."

"Is there anything distinctive about that masked man?" Song Yiran asked, holding the boy's hand.

The boy took a half step back, looked at Song Yiran and confirmed that he was not a bad person before saying, "The masked man has a tiger tattoo on his arm."

"Tattoo?" Song Yiran frowned when she heard that.

"Sister, can you please save me? My father is dead..." the boy cried.

"Your father is dead?"

The boy nodded and said, "My father never came back after he left that day, but an uncle in a suit found me and told me the news of my father's death, and asked me to take this key and run away quickly." After that, the boy took out the key to the front door from his pocket.

Su Li recognized the key.

When conveying the script information, the assistant showed her this key, which was the key to the secret passage of the castle.

Almost everyone in the castle knew that in addition to the main gate, there was also a secret passage known only to insiders. Besides her, the male favorite and the housekeeper all knew about this secret passage.

The uncle the little boy was referring to might be the butler rather than Bai Musheng.

"This is given to you by the butler."

"I don't know either, but I know you are the Duke of this castle." The little boy murmured.

Su Li was a little puzzled: "How do you know that I am the Duke of the castle, and your father was murdered in this castle? Aren't you afraid that I am the murderer of your father?"

The boy shook his head. "I've seen that vampire."

"What!" Su Li and Song Yiran exclaimed in unison.

"The butler gave me the key to escape, giving it to me in the name of the Duke. Then, when I was leaving the castle, I noticed a man walking towards the butler. I wanted to escape, but I wanted to know who that man was. Could he be the murderer of my father? So I crawled to the back door of the castle and saw the man bite the butler's neck. Then the butler fell to the ground without breathing, and then the man left."

"Didn't you cut off the butler's limbs?" Song Yiran asked.

The boy's eyes flashed with confusion. "When I saw it, the butler was just sucked blood by the vampire and died. I didn't see any scenes of his limbs being cut off."

So what's going on?

Could it be that the vampire and the person with the separated limbs are two different people?

"However, the vampire and the masked man are somewhat similar in shape."

"Then why are you still in the castle?" Su Li was puzzled.

According to this line of thought, the boy should have left the castle according to the route given by the butler, but he is still here.

At this point, the boy's eyes filled with tears again: "I was caught."

"..."

Su Li's mouth twitched slightly.

I should have expected this result. Why bother asking...

"Is there anything else you can offer us?" Su Li asked, patting the boy's head gently.

The boy stopped crying, thought for a moment and said slowly: "I have been in the castle for many days, and I also know some of the rules and legends in the castle, such as it is best not to mess with it on the night of the full moon..." The boy's eyes fell on Su Li. He didn't know what kind of person that person was to the Duke. If that person was the Duke's closest person, then no matter what he said, the Duke would protect him instead of setting up other people to protect him as an outsider.

"Don't mess with anyone?" Song Yiran on the side simply asked.

The boy looked melancholy, not knowing whether to name that person.

As if he had thought of something, he found a piece of paper and a pen and simply drew a person and a pet on the paper.

Then she looked at her two sisters, smiled sweetly and said, "That's all I have to tell you."

Su Li took the clue drawn by the boy, and seemed to have some ideas. A faint gray color appeared in her eyes, and her gaze turned to Song Yiran.

Song Yiran comforted the boy and told him that she would come and take him away after finding the murderer, and asked him to wait here obediently.

After saying that, he walked out of the room with Su Li.

In order to prevent the people downstairs from noticing, Su Li pulled Song Yiran into another room and said, "Does the little boy refer to a male concubine?"

"It should be."

On the paper, each person has a pet. The person may be the duke, and the other pet can only be a male concubine.

Why don’t you mess with male favorites on the night of the full moon?

There is only one explanation that makes sense.

The male favorite is the vampire.
