"Who's there? Come out!" Qin Baobao's fear was fully aroused. In such a dark night, with a bloody crime scene all over the yard, anyone would be startled.

Fortunately, the more Qin Baobao's emotions fluctuated, the more serious her expression became, showing no sign that she had actually been afraid.

Put aside your fear, and realize that you lost your composure because of the stiff, bloody corpse. That's why you were so frightened by the slightest sound.

Qin Baobao followed the sound and parted the bushes. She initially thought it was a dog frolicking in the grass, but it turned out to be the boy who had been beaten and scolded during the day. He was trembling and hiding in the bushes. If it weren't for his easily recognizable beggar's clothes, Qin Baobao wouldn't have recognized him at all.

The people of the City of Angels were all dressed very cleanly, but this person seemed to live in another world.

They must have come out to steal something to eat, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a crime scene.

I just don't know if he saw what the murderer looked like.

Miler concealed the dagger behind his back. His arm trembled, and he desperately wanted to rush up and kill her. If he killed her, no one would know he had been here, and no one would associate him with the serial killer from the night before.

Everyone in this city deserves to die!

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Qin Baobao saw him trembling all over and thought he was scared. To comfort him, she took out the large loaf of bread that Arthur's mother had made and handed it to him.

"Take this and eat it. I have more if you need more."

Mile looked up in surprise at the bread handed to her.

This person didn't hit or scold him; instead, he gave him food.

Under the moonlight, Ella's fair skin and delicate features made her look like a true angel, radiating light. Although she didn't smile, the gentleness in her eyes, like a lake in spring, enveloped Miler.

For the first time in a long time, Miler felt the kindness of others. Faced with this sudden kindness, Miler fled like a frightened little rabbit, not even taking his favorite food.

Seeing the boy react as if he had seen a monstrous flood, Qin Baobao raised her hand and touched her face.

She remembered that the original owner was a very cute little girl. Could it be because of her? Well! She was indeed not gentle enough, turning everyone around her into...

Qin Baobao put the bread away, boarded the flying artifact, and returned.

When they got back, neither Arthur nor his mother had gone to sleep.

They've been together for the past two months, and they're worried about Qin Baobao going out alone.

Looking at the two people waiting in the courtyard by the moonlight, Qin Baobao felt a warm current flow through her heart, her eyes stung, and she felt an urge to cry.

Qin Baobao suppressed the soreness in her throat and disembarked from the flying artifact. She gently hugged Arthur's mother; it felt so warm. Her mother's embrace must have felt like this, but it had been so long that she couldn't quite remember.

"Why wait outside? There are so many mosquitoes outside. It'll be cooler inside."

Seeing Qin Baobao leave his mother's embrace, Arthur immediately opened his arms, wanting a loving hug.

What should I do? I'm so nervous. Is my face turning red? Can I sneak a kiss on her later?

If she kisses me back later, should I take the opportunity to propose? What should we name our child? Ahhh, the child isn't important.

Qin Baobao pretended not to see it, and pulled Arthur's mother back to the room, leaving Arthur alone in the yard, bewildered in the wind.

Why? This is so different from what I imagined.

Once inside, Qin Baobao took out the lamp. Arthur's mother saw the light and immediately put it away again.

"Don't flaunt your wealth. Even though you are powerful, you can't stop them from doing petty theft. You shouldn't take these things out in the future."

She hadn't considered this, as she had always been alone. She was also strong enough that she wasn't afraid of petty thieves' schemes.

This time, the original owner of this body has other people around her, and she will continue to live her life. Therefore, her behavior cannot be too ostentatious; she must have a reasonable explanation.

“When I came back today, I found a dead person in the city. The person screamed loudly, but no one came out to check. I think this is a bit strange. From now on, when I go out, let's go together! I don't feel comfortable leaving you here.”

"Could it be a vampire?" Arthur, who had initially wanted to maintain his composure, became uneasy upon hearing that there was danger.

“I went to see it. The yard was covered in blood, and there was an axe stuck in the man’s back. It was obviously done by someone.”

"Tomorrow I'll change into my old clothes and go find out where I can get information." Arthur's mother was older and knew where to find out.

“Let Arthur come with you! We don’t know anyone here, it’ll be safer that way.” After all, Arthur’s mother looks young and beautiful now, and the city isn’t as peaceful as it seems on the surface. It’s as if everyone has a devil inside them, ready to devour someone at any moment.

"Yes, Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow. I've also noticed that some of the people here are acting strangely." Arthur's face showed anxiety, afraid that his mother wouldn't agree.

Qin Baobao and he exchanged a glance, realizing that this matter was not so simple.

After agreeing on their plans, they returned to their respective rooms.

Nothing was said that night. The next day, after dinner, the three of them went their separate ways.

Arthur and his mother went outside to gather information, expecting some trouble. To their surprise, no one stopped them or followed them. They quickly obtained the information they needed; everything went incredibly smoothly.

Qin Baobao put on her veil and found the city lord, then went straight to the point and told him what had happened the night before.

The city lord looked very surprised, as if he knew nothing about this.

"I never expected something like this to happen. What are the guards doing? They didn't even report something this big." The city lord said while secretly observing Qin Baobao.

Qin Baobao looked at him expressionlessly. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, even she would have believed the city lord's words.

The sound was so loud, she couldn't believe no one heard it. But everyone kept their doors and windows tightly shut, as if they were used to such things.

As the lord of a city, wielding immense power, you actually claim you don't know? Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?

"In that case, Lord City Lord, you should send someone to investigate! Vampires are rampant outside, and we humans should unite and stop fighting amongst ourselves."

“You’re right, I’ll give the order immediately.” The city lord walked to the door and called someone over. “Bring Captain Kalin here, I have something to tell him.”

Qin Baobao frowned as she watched his actions.

This person is feeling guilty!

As the city lord, he could simply give a shout and have his servants come running in. Why did he go to the trouble of going to the door himself? What was he feeling guilty about?

Qin Baobao kept this matter to herself.

Once the city lord had returned to his seat, Qin Baobao inquired about the angels. "I've heard that Angel City is protected by angels. Could you tell me about them, City Lord?"

“That was two hundred years ago,” the city lord said with a look of reminiscence. “Back then, there weren’t many vampires, and with angels protecting humanity, humans lived relatively happily. But suddenly one day, two angels started fighting. One of them even killed the other.”

"It was midday then, and the sky darkened, like the end of the world. It was terrifying. The living angels were cursed and trapped in this city for their entire lives. From that time on, the city was called the City of Angels because the angels were suppressed there, so the vampires around dared not come near."
