Chapter 145: The Correct Way to Be an Assassin (Requesting Monthly Tickets

As the vampire with the most renowned name and the most frequent appearances across the myriad worlds, Dracula's story is widely known.

He is often referred to as Count or Duke, and occasionally as the King of Vampires or the First Vampire.

Behind each of these titles lies a distinctly different tale—either tragic or evil—making Dracula's image highly variable and abstract, difficult to judge.

In the film plot of *Fan Haixin*, Dracula's portrayal is relatively simple: he is a thoroughly evil creature.

Not only did he betray his father and his family's faith, but he also made a pact with the devil to become a vampire, seeking to engulf the entire world in darkness and enslave all humanity.

That alone would be bad enough, but what makes him truly contemptible is that he has three wives, all of whom are stunningly beautiful with slender waists and long legs—and now he may have added one or even two more.

Utterly shameless!

The thought of Dracula spending every night with five beautiful women at a silver orgy twisted Wu Xian's face with envy.

How is this fair? He, a man with cheat abilities, hasn't even started a harem—how can a vampire enjoy such reckless pleasure?

Merely for this reason, Dracula has already earned his death; today, I will surely scatter his ashes!

"Five dark creatures have arrived; Dracula is not among them. Aside from his three vampire brides, the other two are werewolves."

At that moment, Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and projected the surveillance footage he had seen onto the mental network for the Zhongzhou team.

On the other side, upon hearing the approach of dark creatures, Fan Haixin's expression turned grave at once, while the Wicken siblings went on high alert, instinctively turning to Wu Xian, hoping this powerful demon hunter would take charge.

"Two werewolves?"

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow slightly—this was an unexpected deviation from the plot, further confirming that the werewolf virus was merely a ruse; after all, who would mass-produce something capable of killing themselves? That's just asking for death.

"Don't panic. First, notify the townspeople to find shelter. The rest is left to us professional demon hunters."

Wu Xian rose from his chair and gazed at the sky beyond the castle, a cold smirk forming on his lips: "Perfect timing—I'll use this chance to test the strength of Dracula's wives. If they're too weak, I won't mind paying the Blood Castle a visit tonight and severing Dracula's bat-headed skull."

…

Ding ling ling!! Ding ling ling————!!

The Wicken siblings acted swiftly; barely had Wu Xian given his order when the ancient town rang with the clear sound of an alarm bell.

This was the signal for dark creatures' approach—over the years, the townsfolk had relied on this bell to barely cling to their lives.

Thus, upon hearing the bell, every resident, regardless of what they were doing, immediately dropped their tasks and sprinted with all their might toward the nearest dwelling.

Those with cellars hid inside; those without sealed windows and doors, then shoved chairs and furniture to block every entrance—so practiced it was heart-wrenching.

About five minutes later, three white dots drew near through the howling wind—three winged humanoid creatures.

Their bodies were entirely pale, bloodless, resembling human forms with two pairs of pale bat wings and the head of a stunningly beautiful woman—but when they opened their mouths, rows of sharp fangs appeared, instantly extinguishing any lustful thought.

Non-human… cough, these were the vampire brides from the film—Dracula's three wives.

The three vampire brides were named Vinona, Ailira, and Marika—strikingly beautiful, yet cruel-hearted, true serpent-women.

But that was only in human form; once transformed into vampires, the word "beauty" ceased to apply to them—unless one had peculiar tastes, no ordinary person could find them sexually appealing.

In the original plot, they debuted only after Fan Haixin and his assistant entered the town, tasked with hunting down Anna to extinguish the last bloodline of Villaris.

But now, with the Zhongzhou team's interference, Fan Haixin arrived in Transylvania nearly a month earlier than in the original plot—timing no longer matched.

So their sudden appearance today, aside from seeking prey, most likely stemmed from the death of the werewolf, drawing Dracula's attention and prompting him to send them out to gather intelligence.

"Bang————!!!"

A gunshot rang out, followed immediately by the scream of one of the vampire brides—Ailira.

Her left bat wing exploded into shards, and her body tumbled downward like a cut kite.

The other two vampire brides stared in horror, following the direction of the shot.

There, on the castle several kilometers away, a man holding a sniper rifle gazed coldly at them, then reloaded—clearly preparing to fire again.

"Damn demon hunter!!"

Sensing imminent danger, the two vampire brides were both terrified and furious. After cursing, they folded their wings and dove like hawks hunting prey, using the town's buildings as cover to reduce the chance of being hit by the sniper.

Meanwhile, Ailira, who had fallen to the ground, had already regenerated—but the pain lingered in her mind. Filled with rage, she prepared to charge the castle and drain the life from the one who had ambushed her.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes.

Before Ailira could react, her newly regenerated wing erupted in searing pain again—she turned to see it had been torn off as if by brute force.

"Aaaaaaah——————!!!"

A piercing scream tore through the air, spreading as visible sound waves—then, seconds later, it abruptly ceased, as a delicate hand forcibly clamped shut her open jaw, nearly biting her tongue in half.

"Shut up!"

A cold voice sounded beside her ear. Then Ailira felt the world spin wildly; after a long moment, she regained awareness—but her body was utterly weak, overwhelmed by immense pain and exhaustion.

She struggled to open her eyes, only to see before her a kneeling, headless body, blood gushing continuously from the severed neck, reeking of foul odor.

"Is that… my body?"

The thought flashed through Ailira's mind, then her final consciousness vanished into darkness.

【Killed one vampire bride. Reward: one C-rank subplot, 2500 points.】

"Wu Xian was right—this is the correct way to be an assassin."

Looking at the severed bat wing in her hand, Zhao Ying smiled faintly.

In truth, as one of Dracula's brides, Ailira was no weakling—she was at least equivalent to a Blood Count in the Main God Space.

Though she had numerous weaknesses, in raw power she could easily crush over a dozen past versions of Zhao Ying.

In her former state, even with her gene lock activated, Zhao Ying could not even pierce Ailira's defense due to the vast gap in base stats.

But now, different—her hybrid bloodline from the Golden-Horned Beast granted her physical attributes far surpassing those of her peers.

Powerful strength combined with swift speed—these were the qualities a true assassin must possess—and that was why she had slain the vampire bride so effortlessly.
