The vampire heiress is two-faced

...

Ludwig slowly turned her head around.

"nothing."

She smiled slightly, but her expression seemed somewhat stiff.

"Hehe...Let's go back first."

Chapter 94 The aftermath

"How's the injury?"

"It's hard to say. The blood loss is too great; a large transfusion is needed..."

"But we don't have any human blood on hand."

“Using the blood bank of vampires is fine. Without activation, vampire blood will not cause initial erosion.”

"Besides, he is now... no different from a demon."

...

A ceiling that keeps rolling.

A swaying bed.

The young man gradually regained his vague consciousness.

But he still couldn't feel his body.

Has I... come back to life?

Before that, he seemed to be thinking about many, many things.

But his brain, which was almost completely shut down, wouldn't allow him to continue thinking.

Before long, he drifted off to sleep again, not even knowing if he would ever open his eyes again.

...

...

...

It is unknown how much time passed, perhaps even a century, before Yin Shang finally regained consciousness.

He even felt as if his soul had left his body, because his body was completely unresponsive.

It took him several minutes to finally manage to open his heavy eyelids.

...

Upon closer inspection, he found himself not only wrapped in bandages like a mummy, but also with several IV tubes injecting dark red blood into his body.

"I'm not dead?"

This sentence subconsciously flashed through Yin Shang's mind.

"Ha, to survive that kind of injury... I guess I can no longer be considered human."

Although he couldn't speak or move, his thinking ability recovered very quickly.

"Who saved me? And where am I?"

He had many questions, but his vision, which had not yet recovered, prevented him from seeing the whole room. For the time being, he could only put his questions aside.

"By the way, Reinhardt..."

He closed his eyes, searching his mind for any trace of Reinhardt.

A moment later, his eyes widened in utter horror.

"Reinhardt?!"

It...it has disappeared!

"Reinhardt, answer me! Where are you?!"

The telepathic connection it established with Yin Entropy should have always existed in Yin Entropy's mind, and it should have been able to respond to Yin Entropy at any time!

But the emptiness deep in his heart was undoubtedly telling Yin Shang that his spiritual connection with Reinhardt had been severed!

And this simply means—

"hateful!"

"I shouldn't have ventured into that factory so rashly, especially since the Holy Sword wasn't with me..."

“Reinhardt, Solid..…”

He regretfully mustered the strength to move his barely functional body and weakly pounded the bedsheet.

At this moment, the admonitions of many acquaintances echoed in his ears as if they were yesterday, as if from another world.

Brother, wait a minute, haste makes waste...

Brother Yin...don't go...please—

[You idiot knight, I told you it has nothing to do with me! Can't you understand human language?!]

[Master, we should retrieve the Holy Sword before going in to investigate...]

Someone once selflessly helped him;

Someone had guided him in the right direction;

There were people who were able to become his partners.

But now, they have all left him.

What can you accomplish by yourself, brother? You can't do anything! In this world, you can't trust only yourself!

The words of Che Nianchen were now crystal clear to Yin Shang.

“Ah…”

“Ah…”

Yin Shang nearly bit his gums until they bled, and tears of regret welled up in his eyes.

"If only I could listen to even a single word..."

A profound sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him, sweeping away his hazy consciousness—

At this moment, Yin Shang's thoughts drifted back to the church orphanage many years ago, carried by his memories.

On that moonlit night, the girl, who had become excessively infatuated with him, leaned against him.

He knew the girl obeyed him without question, but he believed she had placed her affections in the wrong person.

He knew what kind of person he was, but the girl didn't, and he didn't dare let her know.

Because if he told her the truth, it would surely break her heart—and no matter what, the thing he couldn't bear to see most was a girl crying.

At that time, he could never have imagined that a few years later, he would be so disillusioned with the church that he would be blinded by the rage of revenge, and would be able to say those cruel words that pierced her heart like knives in front of her.

...

"Brother Yin..."

The black-haired, blue-eyed nun spoke softly.

Can you listen to me for just a couple of sentences?

The boy did not respond to her, because he was already thinking about how to become the apprentice of the best knight when he went to report to the church knightly order the next day.

The girl smiled slightly and leaned back against him, her voice soft as if in a dream, as if afraid of disturbing his thoughts.

"It's okay if you're not listening."

"..."

"I'm so happy to hear that you're going to report to the cathedral as a knight."

“Whenever I see Brother Yin receiving awards, I feel the same joy.”

"..."

The girl's face flushed red like a ripe apple without her realizing it, and her voice became as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Although I've said 'thank you' many times... without you, I wouldn't have been able to truly escape that 'hell'."

"I don't know how to repay Brother Yin's kindness. So, so... I can only continue to support you and follow you."

She felt the warmth from the boy's arm, which gave her the courage to say the words hidden in her heart.

"..."

"Hehe. How embarrassing."

She couldn't help it

smile.

"Compared to churches and holy light, actually..."

"The one who truly gave me a second life was Brother Yin. I've always, always believed that."

"So, as long as Brother Yin needs it..."

She smiled slightly.

"Everything I have can belong to Brother Yin."

The girl nestled in the boy's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

"My benefactor..."

"From now on, please let me follow you... and walk with you."

How she wished that every fleeting night could stay in this moment forever.

She never thought it was a bad thing, no matter how others criticized her for lacking her own opinions or how petty people accused her of being a "follower".

Because, in the torment she suffered in "hell," she had long since lost the will to choose her own "opinion."

She firmly believed that her savior would make her happy forever, so what was wrong with being a person without her own opinions?

Because every moment she could spend by his side was a fulfilling and happy time for her.

...

"Ah...ah ah..."

"Solid, Solid—"

Yin Shang was awakened by self-blame and remorse.

Upon waking this time, he had regained most of his control over his body.

But upon returning to reality, he quickly realized this cruel truth.

He could no longer hold back the tears welling up in his eyes. The holy nun he had called for, the girl who had always been watching over him, would never return.

At least at that time, she had not yet been completely enslaved by the Holy Light due to Yin Shang's neglect.

Her tragic end was entirely due to Yin Shang's series of mistakes...

Only when you lose something do you realize how precious it was.

...

Bang!

Who are you calling?

A rather displeased voice rang out.

Looking up, I saw that the vampire girl, Ye Liuli, had just turned around and closed the door to the ward.

"You're finally awake. I have so many questions for you."

Ignoring Yin Shang's still-healing injuries, she approached the bedside and grabbed his hospital gown collar.

"You brat, have you forgotten what I said?!"

Her beautiful face always seemed to bear that expression of deep resentment.
