Chapter 6: Octopus

On a bright morning, Jiang Xia yawned and got up from the spacious bed.

He had only just started work, a few weeks at most, and his residence had already changed from a one-room apartment to a large villa.

He also received a generous monthly salary, thanks to the sponsorship of the Supreme Blue Sky Society.

As the president of the Supreme Blue Sky Society, Dao Hu is a very famous millionaire,

The world's first set of knight armor developed by humans was created with his support.

As Jiang Xia, who could see the weaknesses of the Tooth Blood Vampires, he naturally joined the Supreme Blue Sky Society with its highest treatment.

However, for his safety, Dao Hu specially assigned Jiang Xia a bodyguard, which is…

"Xia Chuan, come out to eat."

"Speaking of which, if he hadn't known beforehand that this woman was a Tooth Blood Vampire, he would probably also be curious about the violin sound echoing in the late-night park."

In a desolate park, a melodious violin sound rose, as if it had a special magic that attracted people.

As the smell grew stronger, Jiang Xia also confirmed her exact location, which was in the room ahead, and Asou Yuri was there too.

The backstage of the female violinist's performance is not accessible to ordinary people, let alone a man.

The elegant violin sound drifted slowly across the already dim sky, and at the moment the performance ended, thunderous applause rose from the audience.

Indeed, he hadn't missed any piece of equipment he should wear; it seemed he had already learned to use protective gear.

Performance venue.

Killing others out of jealousy fits Jiang Xia's image of the Tooth Blood Vampire clan.

Just a curiosity of the horror genre.

Even the strongest adult human in the world is only at the E level in terms of life stage.

This time the weak point is right on that octopus's head.

How to put it? The human form looks okay, but the Tooth Blood Vampire form looks truly ugly in Jiang Xia's eyes.

However, the atmosphere of both is a bit different from what Jiang Xia imagined,

Asou Yuri was chatting with that Tooth Blood Vampire, and on the surface they still looked like good friends.

Today there is a violin performance; according to Jiang Xia's speculation, that octopus will not attack now,

"Alright, then I'll check outside for any traces of the Tooth Blood Vampire," Jiang Xia agreed.

"Is this the octopus's hunting method? It's really elegant," Jiang Xia couldn't help but remark.

After the investigation, Jiang Xia quietly withdrew, after all it's the actress's backstage, lest he see something he shouldn't.

The Tooth Blood Vampire's lineage is indeed enviable; Jiang Xia stopped his training with a complex expression.

Drawing in those who hear this violin passage, then eating them, it's a truly malicious method.

I don't know why, but Asou Yuri actually agreed to this absurd proposal; Jiang Xia lives on the second floor, Asou Yuri on the first.

This is merely a rough initial estimate, but Jiang Xia's physical strength already allows him to lift a car barehanded,

"It's started," Jiang Xia said, watching the stage slowly close.

He can stop a motorcycle charging head-on; if he entered a boxing match now, he could hit people like hanging paintings.

At this moment his first prey has already been caught—a youth wearing a green hat, with a hint of ferocity on his face, now seemingly unconscious, drawn by this beautiful melody.

"That's fine," Jiang Xia said, looking at his already invisible self.

Jiang Xia sat on a nearby stone pile, watching that man fall into the predatory trap, yet he had no thought of warning him.

These human-developed training methods are already useless to him,

Or perhaps this Tooth Blood Vampire also possesses invisibility.

Wait, Jiang Xia frowned, and he suddenly thought of something.

Another possibility is that this Tooth Blood Vampire is a woman.

"Here I am," Jiang Xia quickly put on his clothes and went downstairs.

"I understand, I'll go prepare things right away," Asou Yuri said, nodding.

"Let me act alone this time; the place where the female violinist is is most convenient for me to infiltrate, and also convenient to protect this operation's target."

"This operation's target is a Tooth Blood Vampire that only fixates on the female violinist,"

"according to analysis, this operation's target is likely male," Dao Hu said.

This happened to let Jiang Xia adapt to his evolved body.

"These are all ordinary people, with no Tooth Blood Vampire scent; are you sure one person can handle them?" Jiang Xia said.

"I can do it; I feel strong now," Asou Yuri said from the passage.

"As expected, the Tooth Blood Vampire is in the performance backstage."

That's right; the situation now is that Asou Yuri and he have moved in together.

Jiang Xia ate breakfast while looking at the latest news.

The energy core of this octopus Tooth Blood Vampire is slightly stronger than that of the spider Tooth Blood Vampire, but weaker than that of the horse Tooth Blood Vampire.

Apart from the common spider sacrificial rite, he really doesn't have much impression of other weakling Tooth Blood Vampires.

The data didn't mention any men entering the backstage, and even the staff are all women.

If his guess is correct, this Tooth Blood Vampire should be a woman who plays the violin.

As for the type, Jiang Xia carefully recalled the memories in his mind.

For example, various weapons and equipment need skilled use to fight against Tooth Blood Vampires.

Not only his body color, but even his scent has been completely erased; now even if he stands openly before Asou Yuri, she still cannot detect him.

And after Asou Yuri entered the actress's performance backstage, Jiang Xia waited outside for a while, after confirming there was no one else around.

The 1986 newspaper is truly devoid of nutrition; there's nothing useful at all.

It can be said that Jiang Xia is now essentially non-human.

If a man can't get into the performance backstage, then could it be that the places where those female violinists went missing are all outside,

Jiang Xia, who had just entered, instantly sensed that a Tooth Blood Vampire was nearby, and it also carried a hint of seawater.

What he needs to learn first are some special force-exertion techniques, to develop the power of this body to the fullest extent.

Forget it, too much time has passed, I can't remember; when the time comes, just use invisibility to sneak in and you'll find out.

His body, including his clothes, gradually turned transparent bit by bit.

Post-meal exercise time.

As an organization dedicated to exterminating Tooth Blood Vampires, warrior training is indispensable.

Jiang Xia could only resign himself to putting down the newspaper, gulping down the orange juice on the table, and barely filling his still-hungry stomach.

Even without Jiang Xia, Asou Yuri alone could last a few rounds.

That makes sense; it seems I have to go myself, using the Spider Fang Vampire's invisibility ability.

If he wants to eat that octopus, he has to wait until after the evening performance ends.

But it's only a small step beyond humanity; in the face of higher life forms, he's still a novice.

No, some of the people here indeed disappeared in the performance backstage, but there is also another part that didn't.

And at this moment, Jiang Xia finally figured out the true form of this Tooth Blood Vampire: an Octopus Tooth Blood Vampire.

As that man drew nearer and nearer, the violin music grew faster and faster.

"Run, that man is a Tooth Blood Vampire!" Asou Yuri saw this and shouted loudly at the woman who was playing.
