Main Character:

Shen Yao

Weilan and Aolai were spending more and more time outside.

Even if Shen Yao didn't need to go out, she still needed to help handle some internal affairs of the Toweier Family, especially as the situation outside grew increasingly chaotic, and the Toweier Family's manpower seemed insufficient; even though Shen Yao was merely a converted vampire, she had no choice but to step outside.

Time Town

This was just an ordinary small town with few residents, both before and after the war, as if this place had been forgotten by time.

Clop clop clop

Shen Yao wore a beautiful retro dress and held a beautiful parasol in her hand.

Her exquisite features were clearly visible in the sunlight, drawing frequent attention from those around her.

Shen Yao paid no mind to them, instead wandering aimlessly around the town like a traveler out for leisure, without any other thoughts.

"Host, the Main Cast are surviving at a tavern on the edge of the town; let's go there quickly."

If we're too late, won't we have made this trip for nothing again?

During this period, the Host had plenty of opportunities to go out; although the vast majority had their own missions to do, finding the Main Cast was just incidental, but they had already diligently found several male and female leads cultivated by the plot. These male and female leads influenced the plot while also being influenced by it, eventually becoming part of the calamity of war.

The system urged the Host to hurry; those two male and female leads hiding in a suburban tavern were very likely to choose to leave within these two days. If they didn't seize them in time, who knew how long it would be before they met again.

Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. "No rush, I haven't finished touring the whole town. You're keeping an eye on the Main Cast; there won't be any accidents."

This town was somewhat strange, making Shen Yao unexpectedly interested in it.

She slightly raised her head to look at the surroundings, and Shen Yao felt that chill in the air. Had the town residents really not noticed? There was a monster hidden in the darkness here; it was very dangerous.

She muttered a few words under her breath, then turned and left in the direction that gave her a bad feeling. No matter how the system kept chattering there, Shen Yao persisted in her goal until a somewhat dilapidated and eerie building appeared before her.

It was a castle with no inhabitants and no one living around it. Dense vines grew all around the castle, dark green leaves wrapping around it, with various small animals faintly visible among them.

Shen Yao tilted her head. The system in her mind had fallen silent at some point, apparently frightened by the scene before her.

"Hah, you're afraid?" The system had no physical form and could never be killed by creatures in reality.

"Host, here, it feels very wrong," as if a bone-chilling cold was constantly wandering, like starving wild beasts searching for food to fill their bellies.

And unfortunately, her own Host was one of the best-quality foods capable of filling their bellies.

System:...

What else could be said? Who would have thought an obscure little town could hide such a powerful weapon? I really don't know whether to say the Host had good luck or bad luck. It seemed almost like the Host was walking into a trap.

She could only mutter to herself in her heart, not daring to speak these words aloud as it was disadvantageous to unity. The system was like being grabbed in someone's arms, allowed to be kneaded and flattened at will.

"System, there are people hiding here," Shen Yao hesitated when saying "people," because she didn't know whether the creatures inside counted as people, but they definitely had little to do with werewolves and vampires. Well, let's just treat them as people for now.

"Let's go in and take a look, but not now. Go back and rest first, then come over to check at night." Shen Yao turned and left her standing position, exposing her entire back.

As the sun set, after Shen Yao had rested well at the residence she rented with money, it was time to go out.

The outfit she wore when she went out earlier was changed by Shen Yao into a clean black long dress. The original parasol was left quietly in the room. She had her hair styled meticulously and walked toward the abandoned castle from earlier with a clear goal.

The castle was no different from before. As the sun set and the light faded, the area around the castle looked gloomy and eerie, very frightening.

The residents of Time Town did not like to appear near the castle. The reasons they gave were all sorts of strange, but the most direct one was two words: dangerous.

There were unknown creatures here that would attack anyone entering the castle. Quite a few curious people had already lost their lives here.

Because of various too-outrageous rumors, many people didn't dare to come to this abandoned castle. Shen Yao's arrival was unexpected yet reasonable, after all, there were plenty of people in this world who weren't afraid of death. The residents of Time Town were quite calm about it.

Shen Yao walked into the castle with small quick steps, but before she could go upstairs to check the surroundings, she heard a series of faint footsteps behind her.

Huh?

Someone followed her?

Who was so in sync with her as to dare come here at the risk of danger?

"Host, it's the male and female leads hiding in the tavern!" The system screamed in surprise, thinking, how could these two still not give up and run here? Don't they really know how to write the word "fear"? Being so reckless was a good thing for the Host; at least she didn't have to personally go to the tavern to catch them.

The male and female leads in the tavern? Not hiding honestly, why run out?

Shen Yao looked back in surprise. Just before the other person appeared, she hid in the shadows around her.

Clop clop clop

Walking in was a girl with a pale complexion, accompanied by a tall and sturdy werewolf. Because they had been avoiding the killing intent from outside, they had been uneasy for a long time. This time they came to this abandoned castle also because of the rumors of Time Town. They wanted to take this opportunity to make a gamble and see if they could increase an advantage for their side.

Obviously, as a plan that was not well thought out, the two of them obviously still didn't understand what was going on here? Rashly walking into this abandoned castle, the most likely outcome was nothing more than adding two cannon fodder.

The cannon fodder duo didn't know they had already been sentenced to death by Shen Yao. The two were currently carefully walking into this abandoned castle, and wherever the female lead looked, she was amazed again and again.

"I, we, really go in? Otherwise, let's just give up."

The girl grabbed the werewolf's arm, her fingertips turning white, her gaze even more terrified and afraid.

It was really gloomy here, especially with the surroundings dilapidated and devoid of life. How could they naively think there would be things they needed here? It was all fake after all.

"Don't be afraid. Since we've come, let's look around. You know, our luck is very good," otherwise they couldn't have escaped from the encirclement and interception.

You have to know that no matter what, the two of them were no match for a kingdom. Even if the male werewolf could fight, facing ten thousand troops, they could only flee in defeat.

Girl:...

What could the girl say? Moreover, the werewolf's words made her quite tempted; otherwise, it was impossible for her to come from the tavern.

In the end, she still couldn't bear to just leave. The two explored the surroundings even more cautiously, their steps said to be careful and cautious, causing Shen Yao hiding upstairs to look back frequently.

System:...

By the way, shouldn't the Host go find the problem first? Why stay in place to watch these two downstairs?

"What a good choice for a pathfinder. Why would I insist on finding trouble myself?" Shen Yao felt the system usually spent more time charging at the front lines and had forgotten that they could hide behind and reap the benefits as the mantis stalking the cicada.

This pair of male and female leads came at just the right time. Letting the two of them go to explore the path would cause no loss to their side and had many benefits.

Shen Yao leisurely hid like this, and simultaneously, her eyes revealed curiosity as she gazed at the male and female leads who had already slowly walked up the stairs, just following far behind them, staring as they wandered everywhere.

Mhm

They really were wandering aimlessly; the entire Abandoned Castle had that gloomy cold taste, but the most concentrated was the Basement. After the male and female leads searched the upstairs completely, they had no choice but to resign themselves to heading toward the Basement.

The Werewolf ultimately couldn't bear to let the girl take risks, choosing to block in front of her himself, even remembering to transform both hands into Werewolf arms; a flash of silver light — those were the Werewolf's claws that could slice through anything like cutting melons and vegetables.

"Be careful!"

The Werewolf reminded softly, then walked down step by step; in just a moment, the two disappeared from Shen Yao's sight.

Shen Yao did not follow the two down, but instead called the System to directly conduct an all-directional, timeless live broadcast observation, beautifully named "caution."

System: ……

Perhaps too cautious; the Host used to be so brave before, where would she be this careful today.

"Very dangerous, the Basement, something strange," Shen Yao's expression was strange, as if confirming something; until now she still had not made up her mind.

Before her eyes was the Screen the System called up, clearly reflecting the situation of the male and female leads, including the environment around them.

A huge shadow slowly moved, like a giant beast's open maw, wanting to ruthlessly directly devour the male and female leads walking in front.

The Werewolf was still sufficiently cautious, occasionally turning back and constantly waving his arms to guard against danger; the girl honestly clutched the Werewolf's sleeve, afraid that being separated from the Werewolf too long would cause some unavoidable things to happen.

Such benefits naturally existed — for example, they had walked this far still safe and sound, except for the girl's occasional trembling to dodge some dangers hidden in the dark; but the harm was obvious: troubles around them grew more and more, like a pressure cooker that could explode at any moment; if it went bang and exploded, it would definitely hurt surrounding things.

The System couldn't help but open its mouth to ask, "These, what are they?"

How did they even get onto a weird supernatural path; completely unscientific.

"Resentment left after people die; likewise, there are people here," calling them people, they're more like pregnancies that have walked a road of no return, doing things not understood by people, only to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Whether peaceful prosperous times or chaotic world, there will always be some people pondering messy things; coincidentally, this place has such products.

They know Vampires and Werewolves, so even more crazily they want to obtain the great power and capabilities belonging to themselves, want to obtain Immortality.

Shen Yao previously felt this place was creepy; the reason was Vampires had died here, and she as a converted Vampire was innately sensitive to this kind of thing.

"System, look, I'm a Vampire, the Basement has a Werewolf, truly delivered good material," even that human girl isn't without usefulness; no wonder until now no problems have appeared — should be wanting to catch them all in one net.

System surprised, "Host, your existence, they all know?"

"From the moment I entered," Shen Yao touched her temples, "Don't you feel it's very quiet around, not half a sound?"

Even a place with no one residing would have noisy insect sounds; result: here there's nothing, not to mention the surroundings are like being covered with a thin layer of plastic film; tsk tsk tsk, the three of them, in the other's eyes, are turtles in a jar.

The System felt the Host's description was too extreme, could only say speaking of herself in such a way.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao didn't ask the System for any high opinion; she turned around and walked into the Basement.

Ah?

At this time, directly enter the Basement? At that time afraid she'll really become a turtle in a jar.

The System complained the Host was too extreme; didn't expect Shen Yao to ponder a moment, feeling close-range observation of the male and female leads would still be needed to find what she wanted.

After all they're the male and female leads; the Fortune on their bodies cannot be faked; even if this male and female lead have quite a bit that exists as plot-pushing components, as long as it's useful, Shen Yao indicates this is all no big deal.

Very quickly, Shen Yao appeared behind the male and female leads; at this time the male and female leads looked exceptionally bedraggled.

That hidden shadow had already directly confronted the male and female leads head-on.

Shen Yao: ……Wow~

Stimulating!

Feeling the earlier scene was somewhat strange, Shen Yao simply didn't hide anymore; when the girl once again narrowly avoided the attack of her own shadow, Shen Yao suddenly took action — a blood-colored vine violently blasted forward, not only scattering the shadow but also smashing open a hole in the originally hard ground.

Rubble flew scattering toward all directions, simultaneously not forgetting to stimulate the male and female leads into retreating backward.

As the sound slowly disappeared, the Werewolf and the girl saw the woman who had appeared before them.

Outstanding appearance, a black long dress perfectly letting her blend in, especially her body emitting a tyrannical aura and pressure; the girl couldn't help her legs trembling.

The Werewolf directly supported the girl, afraid he'd be late and cause the girl to fall; right now the ground isn't flat; if something really happened, it'd still be dragging his hind legs.

But this woman……

The Werewolf fiercely knitted his brows; he had already felt from the other party that scent he disliked very much — it's a Vampire!

Hmph!

Vampires are all foul-smelling, soulless long-fallen rotten things; they don't even have life, just a beast wearing a shell.

The conflict between Werewolf and Vampire is not small; the man disliking Shen Yao was already within Shen Yao's expectations.
