Even hybrid monsters have their day

Seeing that she was looking at him, he continued, "Yes, I admit that I captured these vampires and mutants for experiments, but not to create more vampires and mutants. I wanted to develop an antidote for the virus and help those who were infected recover."

She looked into his eyes. It was dark around her, but his eyes were so bright and clear that she almost thought she could see her own reflection in them.

"Is everything you're saying true?"

“Absolutely true. In fact, I suspect that Qiu Pi is the one who created them. He's an extremely ambitious guy, and I even suspect that he has the virus in his possession.”

"What!" These two people, one claiming to be a ghost, the other claiming to be a ghost, left Geng Miaowan confused. Who was the one who created so many vampires and mutants? "Why should I believe you?"

“I know it’s hard to convince you, because I’m just guessing. Several senior executives in the company and I were infected in a local lab, but Qiu Pi was infected before us, and nobody knows where he was infected.”

"so what?"

“I’ve heard my father mention before that he had been given a separate research institute for his use, but since my father passed away, he has never revealed anything about that institute, and I know nothing about it.” Peng Yuxian paused for a moment, then continued, “I always feel that these things are related to him, and he may be planning something big.”

"What evidence do you have?" It wasn't that she didn't want to believe it, but their conflicting accounts made it impossible for her to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

"Don't you find it strange? We are all Level-Infected Vampires, and my strength is about the same as Hongzhang's and the other Level-Infected Vampires in the company, but his strength is far above ours. I suspect that in addition to the virus he is infected with, he has mastered something else very important."

"what?"

“I don’t know.” Peng Yuxian sighed softly. But he quickly perked up again. “However, I believe that as long as we find his secret laboratory, we will definitely be able to find the answers to all these questions.”

Geng Miaowan remained silent, silently surveying her surroundings. To avoid disturbing the vampires and mutants, they had already positioned themselves at a considerable distance. From her vantage point, the countless red dots flickering in the darkness resembled stars in the night sky, yet only a small fraction of them were imprisoned.

She knew. Outside, around every city, lurked vast numbers of vampires and mutants, ready to attack at any moment. What worried her even more was that every day, more people were being turned into vampires and mutants.

But... she didn't know whose words she should believe.

Currently, Qiu Pi's company, Arans, and the legendary Silver Alliance can check and balance each other. However, if she makes the wrong choice and helps one side against the other, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Evil will inevitably run rampant once it is no longer suppressed by justice.

"Why are you telling me this?"

“I know you’ve never truly believed me. I’m telling you this just to make you believe me, to believe that what I’ve done isn’t what the rumors say.” Peng Yuxian also turned his gaze to the darkness glowing red. “Trust is mutual. Between the two of us, one of us has to take the first step. Since you’re unwilling to be the one to take the first step, then I will take that step and walk towards you first.”

His undisguised honesty deeply shocked her. His expression was incredibly serious, and she felt a voice inside her whispering, urging her to trust him. To trust him. "What makes you think I'm trustworthy?"

“Intuition. I can sense that you are different, different from ordinary people in society, different from us, even different from any other creature in this world. Since I can detect your difference, then Qiu Pi must have noticed it too. Have you ever wondered why he has kept you by his side for so long, yet has never asked you about yourself?” He then asked her, “If it were you, would you keep a stranger by your side for so long without any reason?”

Without even thinking, Geng Miaowan knew the answer was definitely no.

Sensing the change in her expression, he spoke again, "I think the reason he didn't ask is because he already knew you were different, or even worse, he might know your background!"

"That's impossible!" Those four words escaped her lips without her even thinking. Only after the words were out did she realize that her denial only confirmed her difference from them…

Geng Miaowan glanced at Peng Yuxian almost imperceptibly and found that he was staring into the darkness, seemingly unaware of her words, which made her breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Are you... the leader of the Silver Alliance?" The answer was obvious by now, but she still asked the question.

Peng Yuxian chuckled softly, then a playful smile returned to his lips. "I thought you should have known long ago."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Qiu Pi about these things?" she asked, her eyes filled with inquiry.

“I’m scared, but I need your help, so I have to take this risk,” Peng Yuxian said frankly.

Geng Miaowan fell silent. All around was quiet, save for the occasional sound of vampires or mutants moving about in their cages. This was the first time she had faced such a huge situation alone, without even anyone to discuss it with. She felt that no matter what decision she made, it wouldn't be satisfactory.

After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke, "How would you like me to help you?"

"You really believe me?" Peng Yuxian's face was filled with obvious, unexpected joy. Geng Miaowan rolled her eyes at him, not understanding how someone like him could become the leader of an organization.

“I don’t quite believe you yet,” she said frankly, which made Peng Yuxian’s smile freeze on his face instantly. “But I will find that secret laboratory to prove whether what you say is trustworthy or not.”

After hearing her words, his smile brightened again. (To be continued.) xh:.147.247.73
