Subsequent Arrangements

“With the sample you provided, I believe the test results will be out soon. Are you sure you don’t need me to arrange a car to take you back?”

Outside the Jiangbei City Police Department, Li Shanhai, having finished the identification process, was seeing Su Ran out.

Before she left, he confirmed with her one last time.

“No, it’s alright. Officer Li, you should get back to your work. Even with a comparison sample, it will probably take some time to get the results, right?”

Facing Li Shanhai’s repeated invitations, Su Ran still shook her head.

There wasn’t much of the Holy Stone residue found in Li Ming’s stomach contents.

The police department would need to apply for a magical identification, which would likely require some preparation in advance.

“Thank you so much for your help this time.”

Being able to connect the homicide at the Xingfu apartment building with Li Ming had also lightened Li Shanhai’s burden considerably.

At the very least, since it involved a superhuman and the residual vampire aura on the perpetrator, the subsequent investigation team would surely delve deeper into it.

“I was also doing it for my own sake.”

Su Ran shook her head.

At the very beginning, Su Ran was attacked by Li Ming, and heard the name “Su Ran” from his mouth.

Because it concerned the secret of her transformation and her own safety, Su Ran wanted to deal with the threat of Li Ming and, at the same time, find out where he had heard the news.

Unexpectedly, after dealing with Li Ming, she found two unburnt pieces of paper where he lived, with two names written on them: Su Ran and Dai XX.

Before Su Ran could even inquire, Li Shanhai, as a security officer, had sought her out, telling her that Li Ming’s body had been found, and that it had the residual aura of a vampire.

At the same time, in the homicide that occurred in the Xingfu apartment building, there was a victim whose surname was also Dai.

All the signs indicated that Li Ming was plotting something, and that there might be the shadow of a vampire behind it all.

From the subsequent news brought by Li Shanhai, it seemed the way Li Ming had obtained Miss Dai’s and her own information was through a leak from Beizhou Academy, but he was still investigating who exactly it was.

‘Perhaps I can also ask Bai Yun or Feng Wei about this?’

Thinking that her superhuman talent identification had been completed with the two of them as witnesses, the two who knew of her potential might be able to help her.

Especially since Bai Yun was also Eve’s teacher.

With this connection, she had a reason to contact the other party and probe for information.

If the matter had ended there, then for Su Ran, it might have just been a conspiracy of vampires directing attacks on humans from behind the scenes.

But the occurrence of one thing had changed Su Ran’s perspective.

The two homicides that had occurred while she was in Hermel.

The victims had also lost their bodies, and their homes had been vandalized.

Korn, who was supposed to be a lesson in protecting civilians, had instead pointed his blood-stained sword at them.

Su Ran had not forgotten the sight of Korn drawing power from the two magic formations.

A monster wrapped in flesh and blood, having lost its sanity.

‘If my real self had not become a superhuman, would things have followed Li Ming’s script?’

Thinking of this, Su Ran couldn’t help but shiver.

The fact that similar cases could occur in two different worlds also made Su Ran more vigilant.

The most important thing now was to find the vampire hiding behind Li Ming.

He was the culprit behind everything.

‘But, since he could deal with Li Ming, why didn’t he deal with me, who was still at the scene, at the same time?’

From the blood magic he used to deal with Li Ming, even if she could control frost, in the face of absolute power, she shouldn’t have been able to resist his magic.

This was a point that Su Ran couldn’t figure out, no matter what.

So many things had happened after she had been given a new lease on life, which also gave Su Ran a feeling of being in a different world.

What she had said to Li Shanhai was not wrong.

Helping him was also helping herself.

Since she could be targeted from a large pile of data, it also meant that the other party would not let her go easily.

If she didn’t find the mastermind behind it all, Su Ran would live day by day under the shadow of being attacked at any time.

Although she was now living with Winnie and Yuan Shirui, there was no guarantee that an accident wouldn’t happen.

Su Ran only had two choices: either continue to grow stronger, or find the mastermind.

She had now advanced to Sequence Two, but it wasn’t enough.

She needed to advance to Sequence Three to be able to leave the border city and hunt magical beasts and vampires.

Clearly, with her current rank, she had no way of resisting the mastermind of the incident.

Then there was only one path left.

Find the mastermind!

Unfortunately, Su Ran still didn’t know what the three words “Blood Fusion Domain,” which Lecy had found through her witch ability, represented.

If she did, Su Ran might be able to narrow down her search.

But for now, she could only wait for the police department to compare the Holy Stone energy in Li Ming’s body with the residual energy on the two bodies, and then follow up with the subsequent investigation team.

The good thing for her was that after this investigation by the police, the mastermind would surely be on alert.

Her own safety could be guaranteed.

“It’s decided. Before school starts, I’ll go find Teacher Bai and ask about the information leak from Beizhou Academy.”

“And I need to go back and ask Canlisa how she became a casual believer.”

The system’s mission concerned Isa’s life, and the real-world case concerned her own situation.

Neither of these could be neglected.

But not long after Su Ran had made her decision, she suddenly thought of a matter of burning urgency.

She was broke!

Walking some distance from the Jiangbei Police Department, she was surrounded by a constant stream of traffic.

Right now, Su Ran didn’t have a single cent on her.

She couldn’t even take out two yuan to take the bus back to the dormitory.

She looked helplessly at the well-tailored little dress on her body and the small leather shoes she had worn out.

Su Ran decided to walk back.

Because she really didn’t want to act pitiful to the bus driver and try to get by on cuteness.

‘Of course, if Su Ran were wearing high heels today, it would probably be a different story.’

Su Ran, who had originally thought she could easily walk the whole way, was panting for breath when she was only halfway there, sweat dripping down her cheeks.

‘My stamina can’t keep up at all! Is a girl’s physical fitness this ridiculous?’

Logically, it was only a few kilometers from the Jiangbei Police Department to her dormitory complex.

Shouldn’t she be able to complete it easily just by walking?

Don’t girls supposedly have infinite stamina when they go shopping?

[One point of Weakness Value weakens constitution by two percent. The host is now even more delicate than an ordinary girl~]

The system’s timely explanation left Su Ran completely speechless.

Perhaps putting on a brave face and acting pitiful from the start would have been a very good choice.
