Chapter 9: Arrested, Oh No!

The next day, early morning.

As the sun rose, the Energy Tower that had been operating all night slowly came to a halt, and Yun Mu in the sewer also woke up from her sleep.

"Ugh~ slept all night, feeling refreshed... my foot!"

Casually twisting the Gas Lamp on, Yun Mu quickly stood up from the carpet.

The filthy environment, the hard-as-rock ground, and the rag that couldn't even be called a pillow; she didn't even have a blanket on her.

What kind of human suffering is this.

Waking up after a sleep, she felt like there wasn't a single part of her body that was comfortable; it was truly miserable everywhere.

Pain, it hurts so much!

Thinking of how her predecessor had lived in this environment for over a decade, she couldn't help but feel some admiration for them.

"Once I have money, I must move to a different place!"

Taking a bottle containing watered-down rye ale and some rye bread from a crate, Yun Mu secretly vowed in her heart.

She placed the rye bread onto the Gas Lamp, because when she picked it up, the outer shell of this Gas Lamp was already broken, and when her predecessor had someone repair it, they only fixed the Ignite function, while the shell was simply discarded.

So, when the Gas Lamp was turned on, it could also be used to toast bread; at least Heating it up a bit, otherwise it was truly impossible to take a bite.

You have to know, cold rye bread is hard enough to smash a walnut into powder; trying to bite into it directly would be a bit difficult for her as an ordinary human.

Fortunately, the world she transmigrated into was not a world like the Middle Ages, where labor was scarce, otherwise the rye bread she ate might have been mixed with wood shavings.

As for the watered-down rye ale?

That was her drinking water; drinking raw water directly easily leads to illness, and she didn't have the conditions to boil water, after all, fuel was expensive, and her home didn't have a decent stove.

And tap water?

Hell, does this dump she lives in look like a place where a waterworks company would come to install pipes and faucets?

In summary, for her predecessor, it was the only drinking water that could ensure safety, be very cheap, and have a relatively long shelf life.

It was just the cheapest ale, bottled in several containers, then mixed with clean snow, and left to melt naturally at body temperature or room temperature.

Or should I say, watered-down ale?

"Sigh."

Yun Mu let out a barely perceptible sigh, then quickly finished off the rye bread that was heated just about right and half a bottle of the watered-down ale.

With the influence of her predecessor's memories, she could still barely stomach these things.

After finishing breakfast, she went out again, found a safe place in the sewer, and took care of some personal business.

After taking care of her personal business, she returned along the path she came from.

However, just as she was on her way back, her body suddenly stiffened.

【You have encountered an enemy—【Bloodline Living Corpse lv2 (Apprentice)】】

The game's notification sound appeared in her mind, and the next moment, a familiar Roar echoed from the distance of the sewer corridor; Yun Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Bloodline Living Corpse with a ferocious expression charging toward her.

Why would a Bloodline Living Corpse appear here!?

There was no time to ponder this question; almost subconsciously, she gripped the hilt of the knife inside her coat lining.

The moment the Bloodline Living Corpse Pounce toward her.

Dodge, swing the blade!

A bright silver blade light flashed through the pitch-black corridor, and the hissing of the Bloodline Living Corpse came to an abrupt end.

A shriveled head instantly flew out and fell into the sewage with a plop.

And at the place where the Bloodline Living Corpse appeared, a woman wearing a dark red leather hood was quietly watching her.

"It's that woman with the Scarlet eyes!"

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Yun Mu's hair stood on end.

Was the scene discovered? Did she find that a corpse was missing from the scene? How did she find this place!?

Several questions rose in her mind in succession; she hid in the sewer not just because there were few people here and the terrain was complex.

There were also factors like the sewer having many smells and being very foul, making it difficult for people to track by scent.

But how did the woman in front of her find her?

Yun Mu's brain raced, and soon, an idea appeared in her mind.

It's the Scarlet Curse!

That's it, only the Scarlet Curse could allow the other party to still find her after she entered the sewer; other than that, she couldn't think of any other possibility.

"However, why isn't she attacking me?"

Yun Mu looked at the woman standing Immovable in place, feeling puzzled.

After a long while, she thought of something.

"She is wary of me!"

Normally, if a person dies, they definitely cannot be Resurrection, and that woman was very certain that her predecessor was already dead that night.

Then if it were her, after killing an enemy, and the other party suddenly Resurrection the next day, what would she think?

"There must be a problem!" Yun Mu realized with a start.

She believed she had thought of the key point, so if she were that woman with the Scarlet eyes, under what circumstances would she think a person could come back from the dead?

Still the Scarlet Curse!

Then the woman with the Scarlet eyes must have thought that she also became an existence similar to her because of the Scarlet Curse, which is why she came back from the dead.

Not attacking was because she was wary of her abilities; that living corpse earlier was perhaps just a small test.

But unfortunately, Yun Mu had already killed enough living corpses in the game and was quite experienced, so she killed the living corpse in one strike, and the other party didn't manage to test anything out.

Having figured these things out, Yun Mu's originally tense mood relaxed quite a bit.

But at this moment, she couldn't just open her mouth and say, hey, I'm on your side, I also need to drink blood to survive now, why don't we live in peace.

Because she clearly knew exactly what the face under that woman's hood looked like.

And the other party could perhaps pin the blame for the Dried Corpse Murder Case on her; after all, she also needed to consume blood now to alleviate her Blood-Thirst State.

Based on the mutual distrust between the two parties, it was fundamentally impossible for them to coexist peacefully!

The atmosphere within the sewer grew increasingly heavy; the two confronted each other, ready to enter a life-or-death struggle at any moment.

Just at this moment, a voice full of vigor suddenly rang out in the quiet sewer.

"Everyone in front, raise your hands for me!"

Along with the voice came a Young Girl with chestnut short hair and golden-brown eyes, wearing a full set of sea-blue Police Guard Uniform, with a pitch-black police baton hanging at her waist and a police revolver in her hand.

A strange device hung on the Young Girl's chest, emitting a Soft yellow light from within that illuminated the things around her.

And after seeing that someone had arrived, the woman wearing the dark red leather hood took a deep look at Yun Mu, then turned and disappeared into the Darkness of the corridor.

After the other party left, the Young Girl wearing the Police Guard Uniform also ran in front of Yun Mu.

"Are you alright!"

She first looked at the corpse of the Bloodline Living Corpse on the ground, then looked at Yun Mu and said.

"Phew, I'm fine." After Yun Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief, she looked at the Guard Young Girl and said.

"Did you kill this?" After hearing her answer, the Young Girl pointed her finger at the corpse of the Bloodline Living Corpse on the ground and asked.

"."

Yun Mu looked at the headless corpse slumped on the sewer floor.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slowly and said: "It is indeed true that I killed it."

"I see."

Having received a definite answer, the Young Girl suddenly grabbed her right hand, then pulled out a pair of handcuffs from somewhere unknown and, with a *clack*, fastened them onto Yun Mu's right hand.

"Committing murder in the street, you are under arrest!"

"Huh?"

PS: Bloodline can perceive the taste of different blood; this is not smelling, but a strange kind of Perception.

And for those afflicted by the Scarlet Curse, the taste of their blood is the most unique, differing greatly from ordinary people.
