Tales of the Blood Night

"The restaurant is downstairs." At the end of the corridor, a soft female voice came, "If you need it, you can deliver it to your room."

Everyone looked back... and saw a neat girl in sportswear, with a ponytail, coming from the other end of the dark corridor. Zhan Yi thought she looked familiar.

Bai Yu thought for a while, "Aren't you the woman who was with Louis Casta?"

The red blood nodded quickly, thanking Zhan Yi and Bai Yu for saving her... Zhan Yi also remembered, this girl is the red blood who was brought down by Louis after she was kidnapped by Chi Ling that day, why is she here?

"I'm in charge of board and lodging in the Blood Palace. If you have anything you can ask me to do, my name is Esmeralda Hemiltina."

Everyone on the opposite side frowned, "What's your name?"

Blushing and embarrassed, "Just call me Tina."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded, indicating that it was more or less the same.

"Master is waiting for everyone in the conference room." Tina led the way as she spoke.

"Master?" Xiao Na was puzzled, "Who is the master?"

"It's the steward of the Blood Palace." Tina replied.

"Blood Palace?" Kong Chan frowned, "This name is so ugly."

"It was originally called the Blood Palace." Bai Yu walked at the back, yawned, and asked Tina, "The housekeeper you're talking about is Louis?"

"Yes."

Zhan Yi glanced at Bai Yu, as if asking why he knew.

"Louis Casta is a member of the Casta family. The ancestor of this family is the steward of the Blood Palace. He has genetic memory, so he should remember the structure of the Blood Palace. It is more convenient to be a steward."

Everyone nodded.

Xiao saw many oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, all of which were portraits, so he asked curiously, "What are these?"

"The portrait of the original blood." Bai Yu helped to answer, "They all died a long time ago."

"Have there ever been so many original blood races?" Kong Chan admired each one, "They are all beauties, shouldn't they be very powerful and immortal, why are they all dead?"

Bai Yu then yawned and said nothing, Zhan Yi looked at him, still not paying attention.

Everyone walked to the end of the corridor and entered a huge room. The gorgeous decoration reminded people of a palace, and it was difficult to connect with an office like a "meeting room".

There is a huge antique table in the middle of the room. The table is made of iron, and the table is inlaid with metal skulls of various shapes, with different expressions.

Xiao bent over and looked at the table, "Is the aesthetics very special..."

Behind the table and in front of the fireplace stood Louis, still dressed in black, but this time he didn't wear a coat, a vest, suit pants, and a white shirt, and the sleeve clips on the shirt looked like a housekeeper.

Xiao seemed to find it amused, "Are you playing games, and there are uniforms."

Zhan Yi found a chair and sat down, and said to Tina who brought tea, "I'm hungry, what do I have to eat?"

"You can eat whatever you want." Louis also sat down, and opened an antique box with ease. Inside were precision instruments. After turning on the power, several three-dimensional display screens appeared around.

"Tina is very good at housework, and she is also a good cook, who can make food according to your appetite.

Everyone thought it was pretty good. After ordering, Tina went down to cook.

Louis said to have a brief meeting first.

"Isn't there still one person missing?" Kong Chan asked, "The Great Demon King hasn't come yet."

Louis looked at Zhan Yi, "You are the captain, you have the final say."

Zhan Yi said, "Let's listen first."

"This is our first case to investigate." Louis showed multiple pictures on the display.

The scene is in a shady bar, and the photos are taken from multiple angles, by a bartender at the bar.The bartender looked to be in his 30s, very stocky and unshaven.

When he was pouring wine for the guests, he could vaguely see a tattoo with a small half exposed on the cuff of his short-sleeved T-shirt—similar to the tattoo of the rebel slave.

"The bartender?" Kong Chan was curious, "It doesn't look like anything special."

"This bar is called Changqing Bar." Louis showed everyone the appearance and internal structure of the bar. "It was just an ordinary bar. It was in the night market in the fifth district. Because of the good location, there were a lot of people. But recently, I received a report. Seven young people disappeared after going to this bar one after another."

"That's seven?" Zhan Yi frowned, "Who are they all?"

"The information of those seven young people." Louis showed everyone, "I don't know each other, there are men and women, ranging in age from 19 to 25 years old, the only thing in common is that they are all mixed blood, C-6 blood type. After comparing their information in detail, it was found that these people were all diagnosed with inertemia."

Everyone nodded. In this era, except for BN, almost any disease can be cured. Although inertemia is rare, there are specific medicines that can be cured.These young people seem to have just been diagnosed with the disease and are ready to receive treatment.The symptoms of inertemia are not very obvious, but the patient may experience dizziness and fatigue, and in severe cases may suddenly faint. "

Xiao frowned, "You suspect that their disappearance has something to do with that bartender?"

"The bartender just went to work at the Evergreen Bar recently." Louis continued to exchange information, "He has been here for a short time, and not long after he came, the disappearances began to occur."

"What's the use of catching those people?" Kong Chan didn't understand, "Eat?"

"There are no blood-sucking vampires in this area. The early investigators have ruled out the possibility that the disappearance was an accident. Besides, the vampires just suck blood and won't even eat people." Louis changed a copy of the information , "This is a report of a disappearance from the Eighth and Ninth Districts."

Everyone looked up at the screen together.

"Also in two ordinary bars, more than a dozen young people with inertemia disappeared." Louis said, "These are the photos found through subsequent surveillance."

In the two bars where the disappearance occurred, there was the same bartender. Although the clothes were different and the hairstyle was different...but the computer still analyzed it through the comparison of facial features—it was the bartender in the Evergreen Bar.

"Then it's clear that the disappearance case is related to him." Xiao held his chin, "Should we just grab the bartender?"

"He should have just started, there are people behind." Zhan Yi said, "It may be more useful to find out why he kidnapped the patient with inertemia."

"Correct." Louis nodded.

"Although inertemia is not a rare disease, why do so many patients go to bars?" Zhan Yi was curious.

"This is also under investigation." Louis spread his hands and said that he hadn't found it yet, "A few young people went to this bar for the first time and disappeared, because their family members have already called the police, so I think we should act quickly. Otherwise, the bartender might run away like the previous few times, change to another place and repeat the same trick."

"The introduction of the information is over." Louis stood up, "My mission is limited to this, and the other captains command." After speaking, he looked at the time, "It should be time to eat."

Zhan Yi stood up and went out to eat.

Bai Yu stroked his chin and asked everyone to go first. He went back to the room. Seeing Bai Yu walking to the other side of the corridor, Xiao was a little curious, but the silly-looking Kong Chan patted him on the shoulder, "Golden Mao Xiao, let's go see See how the food is here, I wonder if I can prepare two fish for Elena."

Xiao frowned and gave him a blank look, but then turned around... Bai Yu had disappeared into the dark corridor.

I couldn't help but "tsk", the surroundings of this ancient castle were pitch-black, with no lights or windows, and it was impossible to tell the difference between the south, the east, and the north.

When they arrived at the restaurant downstairs, Tina had already prepared all the food, and it looked delicious.

As soon as everyone sat down, they saw Tina easily carrying a basket of vegetables, fruits and some fish, and said to go downstairs to feed Elena.

Kong Chan went with her with a plate, only Xiao and Zhan Yi were left to eat in the restaurant.

Xiao glanced at Zhan Yi, who was eating leisurely and keeping a certain distance from him, smiled slightly, and asked him with interest while holding a fork, "I heard that you picked up the white feather?"

Zhan Yi didn't answer, but just glanced at him, signaling to him if he had anything to ask.

"Why did he listen to you?" Xiao held his chin, "How much do you know about white blood?"

Zhan Yi still didn't speak, took a sip of water, stood up, and went out.

At the door, Tina came back just in time. Seeing that Zhan Yi had only eaten a few mouthfuls, she couldn't help asking, "Is it not good?"

Zhan Yi passed by her and said, "The meat is too raw. I don't have the same taste as those wild beasts. Next time I will make human food."

After finishing speaking, I left.

Tina walked to the table, and sure enough, Zhan Yi's steak was cut a little bit and he didn't eat it.

"Oh, personality is inversely proportional to appearance, it's really not flattering!" Xiao took Zhan Yi's plate in front of his eyes, and waved to Tina, "Let me eat."

As he said, he cut it with a knife... and blood flowed out.

The corner of Xiao's mouth twitched, looking at Tina, "I'm also human..."

Tina had no choice but to clean up the dishes. She didn't seem to know that there were powerful races other than the vampires, and she was still at a loss when she carried the dishes.

Xiao took a sip of his wine, and when he saw Louis walking in, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth immediately.

As soon as Louis walked in and saw that he was the only one there, still smiling at himself, he went to the table and sat down, "Is there anything you want to ask."

Xiao smiled and said bluntly, "Bai Yu is not what my teacher described."

"Then?" Louis smiled, "What do you want to ask?"

"After his personality changed, did his abilities also weaken relatively?" Xiao tentatively asked, "I heard that the demise of the blood race, especially the original blood race, was related to the bizarre collective decline of the race. He slept for more than 1000 years. Isn't it also for this reason?"

After hearing this, Louis smiled, reached out and took a sip of the glass of artificial blood that Tina handed over, wiped his bright red lips, and said in a low voice, "If you're so curious, why don't you try it yourself?"

"Try?" Xiao raised his brows slightly, as if curious, "How to try?"

Louis stood up, holding the wine glass, "I didn't say anything, you decide for yourself." After speaking, he took the wine glass and left.

……

After Zhan Yi left the restaurant, he walked out of the castle, looking for Bai Yu to go out for a big meal.

But when he walked outside, Zhan Yi looked up and finally understood why this palace was called "Blood Palace".

I don’t know if it’s the effect of the light, but on the original gray-blue walls of the palace, there seem to be thin blood vessels, and there is a feeling of blood spurting, which I didn’t see when I came here for the first time. , but now it seems...

Zhan Yi's gaze followed the wall all the way up, and stopped at the roof, where he saw a statue of a beast's head protruding from the roof.I don't know what kind of beast it is, anyway, it's not a common mammal, it looks like a combination of a dragon and a wolf.On top of the huge head of the animal head stood a white figure with long white hair fluttering in the wind.

Zhan Yi frowned slightly - Bai Yu stood on top of the animal head and yawned lazily, it was unclear whether he was remembering or just in a daze.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhan Yi felt that the stone statue, which was originally dumb, seemed to have become fierce after Bai Yu's arrival, and even the empty eyeballs inexplicably showed a layer of blood, with a faint light.

Is it an illusion?Zhan Yi looked around carefully again, the withered flowers in the flower bed just now had unknowingly become alive, and the color had also changed from ashes just now to the current blood red, the whole castle seemed to have suddenly changed. The time came alive, strange and energetic, to welcome the return of the king.
