Shocking Changes

Before Winnie could even react, Su Ran shot out of the break room with a “whoosh,” like an arrow released from a bow.

“Hey!”

Winnie, who had just raised her hand, lowered it as she watched the departing figure, leaving only a trail of frosty air behind.

“Eve’s death has hurt Little Ran too deeply. But isn’t she being a bit too impulsive?”

Looking at Su Ran, Winnie was very anxious.

Any vampires that appeared in Jiangbei City, apart from those from the royalist faction like themselves, were basically stragglers who had broken into the Human Federation during the last raid.

Due to the vampire aura left on Li Ming’s body, the Blood Hunters were now paying extra attention to any trace of vampires.

Any vampire discovered in Jiangbei City was to be reported and dealt with immediately.

“Or perhaps she thinks the appearance of this vampire is related to Li Ming’s death,”

From Li Shanhai’s perspective, he believed Su Ran was concerned about the vampire aura on Li Ming and wanted to continue looking for clues.

Hearing Li Shanhai’s words, Winnie sank into the sofa and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

“If only things were that simple.”

Winnie knew things were definitely not that simple.

The person behind Li Ming absolutely had some connection to the vampire high command; otherwise, puppet magic wouldn’t have appeared in Jiangbei City.

Unbeknownst to them, a human had already colluded with the vampire high command.

Winnie couldn’t figure out what their goal was.

What was so valuable that it would make a human and a vampire betray their respective races to achieve it together?

Winnie wasn’t worried about the safety of Su Ran, who had rushed out, because Yuan Shirui had already followed her.

As long as she sensed something was wrong in Jiangbei City, Winnie could arrive at any time.

With Yuan Shirui by her side, she could buy Winnie plenty of time.

Su Ran rushed out of the Sakura Cafe, and the surrounding crowd turned to look at this cute maid who had suddenly appeared from the mall.

Her smooth, snow-white skin, her slender waist that could be held in a single grasp, and the fragrant breeze stirred by her hair as she ran, all made people curious about this maid’s origin.

Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Su Ran reached the roadside and hailed two taxis to a stop, preparing to head to the old city district Yuan Shirui had mentioned.

“Driver…”

Just as Su Ran was about to get in the car and leave, Yuan Shirui’s shout came from outside the car.

“Wait!”

Hearing this, Su Ran stopped what she was about to say, waiting to see what Yuan Shirui wanted.

A moment later, Yuan Shirui, wearing the same maid outfit as Su Ran, opened the car door and squeezed Su Ran to the side.

“Shirui, what are you doing squeezing in with me?”

Caught off guard, Su Ran’s slender, fruitful figure was almost squashed into a ball by Yuan Shirui.

“I’m going with you.”

Closing the car door, Yuan Shirui spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

She paid no mind to Su Ran’s shocked expression, only asking lightly.

“If I don’t go with you, do you know the specific location in the old city district? Are you just going to search blindly in there? By the time you get to the scene, the flowers will have all withered.”

Questioned by Yuan Shirui, Su Ran was suddenly at a loss for words.

Just as Yuan Shirui had said, she really didn’t know the most crucial piece of information.

Su Ran now tacitly agreed to let Yuan Shirui follow her.

“Driver, let’s go. To the old city district, near the food processing plant.”

Hearing Yuan Shirui’s words, the driver stepped on the gas and immediately drove towards the destination.

“This is the place where the vampire appeared?”

Thanks to the driver’s incredible speed, the two soon arrived outside the food processing plant where the vampire had been spotted.

Several Blood Hunters had already surrounded the area.

Upon seeing Yuan Shirui arrive, they respectfully called out, “Sister Rui?”

Su Ran looked as if she had seen a ghost.

She couldn’t have imagined that these Blood Hunters would address Yuan Shirui in such a way.

“Hmph, hmph. I’m the poster girl in charge of mission dispatch and reception at the branch. Of course they have to respect me.”

With that, Yuan Shirui took out her Blood Hunter badge and settled the points for everyone present.

“According to the mission description, discovering the trace of a vampire and reporting it earns thirty points. Since you provided a photo, the mission is complete.”

After distributing the points, Yuan Shirui asked, “Does anyone want to capture the vampire? This is a mission with a base reward of three hundred points. The actual points will be calculated based on the vampire’s strength.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the Blood Hunters present lit up.

A mission with a base of three hundred points was not common.

These points were enough to exchange for a high-quality magic essence crystal for meditation, or a handy magic essence weapon to upgrade their equipment.

When faced with absolute profit, they would put their lives on the line.

Without a moment’s hesitation, everyone present chose to participate in the mission to capture the vampire.

“Shirui, I’ll take one too.”

Su Ran tugged on Yuan Shirui’s sleeve, preparing to accept the mission.

She was still an Iron Hunter and needed points to raise her rank.

“Little sister, seeing as your rank is still Sequence One, you should probably stay by Sister Rui’s side.”

A man who was accepting a mission from Yuan Shirui saw Su Ran beside her and kindly advised her.

After all, she was wearing a maid outfit just like Yuan Shirui.

Perhaps she would also be a staff member of the Blood Hunter branch in the future, so it was necessary for him to get on good terms with her now.

“Sun Daqiang, go, go, don’t worry about things that aren’t your business. If she wants to participate, let her participate. Besides, the vampire this time isn’t strong, and there are so many of us. It’s a perfect opportunity for the little sister to get some practice.”

Many people scoffed at Sun Daqiang’s concern.

The vampire they had discovered was not of a high rank, at most around Sequence Three.

Most of them present were at Sequence Three.

With so many people, the advantage was definitely in the Blood Hunters’ hands.

Any vampire who dared to enter the Human Federation had to be prepared to be outnumbered.

In fact, with the recovery from her Ring of Pride, the total amount of magic essence she could use was maintained at two hundred points, almost the limit for a Sequence Two.

Coupled with her witch abilities, Su Ran wasn’t particularly afraid of a Sequence Three vampire.

At the very least, she would have no problem getting away if she wanted to.

“Thank you.”

Su Ran replied politely.

She still responded to the kindness of others.

After everyone present had confirmed their acceptance of the mission, they gradually began to walk towards the food processing plant they had surrounded.

This was actually the old site of the processing plant.

The old, dilapidated gate couldn’t stop this group of Blood Hunters, let alone a vampire with superior physical capabilities.

However, just as Su Ran and the others smoothly stepped into the processing plant, a strange event occurred.

A red light magic formation rose from the ground, and everyone felt their bodies grow heavy.

In an instant, they vanished from their original spot in the processing plant.

Less than a minute later, Winnie arrived, her face grim.

She scanned the surroundings and came to one conclusion.

Every Blood Hunter who had stepped into the processing plant had been transported away.
