Chapter 420: Volume 1_Chapter 420 Sinful Island (Complete)
Volume 1_Chapter 420 Sinful Island (Complete)
Jiang Zhi heard an unusually familiar voice, froze for a moment, locked eyes with the man's narrow phoenix eyes, and exclaimed in surprise: 'Doctor Xu?'
This person was exactly the vampire she had first seen on Sinful Island, Doctor Xu Hang.
Xu Hang smiled all over his face: 'You still remember me.'
Jiang Zhi said with deadpan tone: 'Being able to see Doctor Xu one last time before death is not bad either.'
Xu Hang said: 'You can't die yet.'
He said to the members behind him: 'Send a team to restrain the Progenitor.'
The vampires whose abilities had reached A-rank, upon hearing the order, immediately went to the high platform.
Seven or eight people remained.
Xu Hang: 'We have already developed a potion that can eliminate the toxin.'
Jiang Zhi was both surprised and delighted: 'Really?'
Zeng Yao chimed in from the side: 'Really, everyone in our organization is very capable, so rest assured—you won't die here.'
Jiang Zhi's interest sparked: 'What can I help you with?'
Xu Hang approached with a medical kit and said: 'Just staying here to recuperate already helps me.'
Speaking, he gently and carefully treated her arm wound.
After lifting the corner of her clothing, he furrowed his brows.
'How did you get injured like this?'
Jiang Zhi, unaccustomed to him being so close, rubbed her nose tip and said: 'I bumped into it by accident.'
Xu Hang's medical skill is superb.
After applying the medicine, her arm was mostly healed.
'Thank you.' she said gratefully.
Xu Hang chuckled lightly: 'If you want to thank me, just don't disappear again next time.'
Jiang Zhi remained silent.
Escaping is impossible.
Zeng Yao, who was observing the situation, panicked and shouted: 'Run! Those mutated vampires have spotted us!'
The vampires, who only knew killing, suddenly seemed to gain consciousness, all staring in their direction and rushing over with a menacing aura.
Xu Hang, seeing this, looked grave: 'The Progenitor is controlling them!'
As soon as he spoke, they started running, dodging the mutants' pursuit.
When they ran to the point of exhaustion, they wore heavy protective gear to block the moonlight, but this caused their stamina to deplete even faster than usual.
Zeng Yao panted: 'They're not chasing Xiao Jing! We can, we can……'
Xu Hang immediately rejected: 'No!'
Zeng Yao grew anxious like ants on a hot pan; with so many mutated vampires, they couldn't escape.
Jiang Zhi, listening nearby, asked: 'What? I can do anything to help you.'
In a gap of speech, several strong mutated vampires lunged at them like ferocious dogs, and everyone fell to the ground to avoid the bites.
Taking advantage of Xu Hang's fight with the vampires, Zeng Yao hastily handed her the potion, speaking incoherently: 'The Progenitor spreads the toxin via the new moon; you need to fly to high altitude, aim this tech gun at the new moon and fire, which will purify the blood-moon toxin, turning moonlight into an antidote, restoring all mutated vampires to normal.'
Skies worldwide displayed this new moon, which is not a real moon but fabricated by the Progenitor; anyone touching its moonlight will be affected.
Purifying the toxin was originally Xu Hang's task, as he is the organization's sole S-rank vampire, capable of resisting the blood-moon toxin's infiltration.
But that group of mutated vampires is pursuing them; right now only Jiang Zhi is safe and unthreatened.
Jiang Zhi took the tech gun from her hand and ran in the opposite direction.
Still speaking, Zeng Yao watched her leave his sight, froze for a few seconds, eyes bloodshot, and said: 'The closer you get to the blood moon, the stronger the toxin… you… will die.'
…
Vampires can fly, using the bat wings on their backs to briefly reach high altitude.
Jiang Zhi, not yet accustomed to being a vampire, strained to stabilize her swaying body.
During the ascent, she clearly felt bodily discomfort—not from lack of oxygen, but from scorching, burning skin, fading consciousness, and a sudden thought welled up from her heart.
Kill… kill everyone!
The vivid red light before her eyes was especially glaring; she clearly saw the half-moon suspended in midair, as if soaked in blood, thick liquid flowing, emitting a bloody glow.
Moreover, affected by Yun Jin's blood, her body could block all moonlight when on the ground, but could not resist the blood moon at close range.
She tasted a fishy sweetness in her throat, blood slid down the corners of her mouth, her chest heaved violently, and there was only pain.
'Host vitality plummeting!!! Host, please take note!!!'
777's voice in her ears grew increasingly fuzzy; Jiang Zhi struggled to lift her wrist, aimed the tech gun at the new moon, and fired a shot.
'Boom——!'
The red moon was obscured by white light, and the completely powerless Jiang Zhi fell from high altitude.
Below, Yun Jin seemed to sense something, unfolded his bat wings, quickly dealt with the few insects nearby, and flew toward the high altitude.
He grabbed the falling girl in one embrace, then raised his hand intending to destroy the potion that was purifying the new moon.
The blade pierced her heart, blood dripped along the edge, blown upward by the wind in the high air, blood beads flying up and swaying.
In his arms, Jiang Zhi's breath faded; her fingers gripping the hilt exerted all their strength, trembling, and drove the blade deeper.
Yun Jin paused in midair, his pale thin lips suddenly curled, his voice hoarse: 'Satisfied?'
Jiang Zhi released her grip.
This is a silver blade; although it cannot take his life, it is enough to stop him from destroying the potion.
'I, I will, stop you, Yun Jin, no matter how many worlds I go to, I will, stop you.'
Yun Jin raised his hand to cover her body, easing her pain; even though blood kept flowing from his own chest, he did not stop.
"Hmm, I know."
He already knew how good she was.
So good that he envied everyone she had saved.
【The task of making the villain willingly die for the host has been completed.】
"Why, what?" Jiang Zhi had thought this world's mission would fail.
He actually used his own life to save her.
Yun Jin let out a soft sigh.
"I can't bear to watch you die."
After erasing all memories and becoming another person to meet, understand, and love her, most endings were watching her die in his arms.
Yun Jin did not want to endure that pain again.
Let this world be as it is.
Granting her wish once is not impossible.
Silver moonlight bathed the whole earth, all mutated vampires gradually returned to normal, and peace was restored.
Watching Yun Jin turn into black smoke and disappear, Jiang Zhi fell to the ground; the silver dagger in her hand emitted a cold light, the blood faded with the black smoke, and everything that had happened seemed like her illusion.
Jiang Zhi slowly clenched her fingers.
"Is he dead?"
777 softly replied: "Hmm, the villain has disappeared from this world."
Jiang Zhi exhaled, pushed back the black hair covering her eyes: "If..."
The words on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly stopped.
777 wondered: "What?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head: "It's fine, let's go to the next world."
