In the dim underground palace, there was a white stone coffin. The stone coffin was engraved with dragon characters and beautiful lilies on both ends. The lid of the coffin had been lifted, and a beam of moonlight shone in through the skylight on the side of the underground palace, hitting the woman in the stone coffin.
The milky-white chalcedony wrapped around her body, leaving only her pale face. Her black silky hair was scattered on both sides. Her hands were crossed over her chest, and her expression was calm. The stone coffin was surrounded by candles and arrays drawn with blood.
The shaman's hair was white and messy, and his gray robe was stained with blood. He held a Soul Chasing Bell in his hand and glanced at the person in the corner. His figure melted into the darkness, and it was impossible to notice him without careful observation.
"Let's begin, Young Master." The Magus said respectfully.
The black shadow got up and cut open his palm with a dagger, dripping his blood onto the altar.
The wizard began to chant, and the chamber burst into flames. He rang the bell and jumped around the altar. His voice was ethereal and sorrowful, as if he was searching for a soul that had been lost in the distance.
As he chanted the incantation, the Magus began to bleed from his mouth and nose. He sang and danced in pain, his voice gradually becoming sharp, and then like a wild beast's roar, gradually becoming crazy.
After a long time, the candles in the underground palace were extinguished. The shaman stopped and wiped the blood from his face."Young Master, we found her."
"I owe you a favor, Great Wizard.”The figure in the corner looked at the girl in the illusion, left a sentence, and then left like smoke.
…….
It was a rainy night, and the wind was howling. The umbrella in Han Yunzhao's hand was blown to the side, and in the end, it flipped over. The rain fell on her, and she was drenched in just a minute.
Lightning tore through the darkness, revealing a deathly white. A black shadow appeared in the dark alley. It was the direction that the girl was going to pass by.
In the blink of an eye, she was dragged into the night, and the umbrella and food bag fell from her hands.
"Help!" Her cry for help was drowned out by the heavy rain. The sound of a wild beast's breathing pounced on the girl's neck. She was lifted up like an antelope.
The thing sniffed her scent and sighed in satisfaction. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp fangs.
Even if she tried her best, she still couldn't understand what was in front of her. Its breathing, behavior, and movements were similar to those of a wild beast.
Han Yunzhao closed her eyes in despair. She couldn't escape. She was going to die here today. Intense pain pierced through her soul. Her neck was bitten open, and her entire body seemed to be torn apart. She let out a miserable cry. She raised her head, and the rain splashed on her face. Her eyes stared at the sky in despair, and her pupils gradually dilated.
Circles of white light appeared in the dark sky. It was a strange vortex. She thought that it was an illusion before she died, that the gods had come to take her soul to heaven. After all, she had never done anything evil in her short life.
Something was cut in half, and Han Yunzhao fell into the mud like a bag. The thing turned into a pool of filthy blood and was washed into the sewer by the heavy rain.
"So dirty." A voice said in disgust. He shook his hand and tried to wash the blood off his hand. Yun Zhao was covered in mud as he sat on the ground and looked at the person in front of him in a daze. The blood on his neck flowed down his collar.
"Get up." His fair and slender palm reached out to her. There was still some red on his fingers. She moved her legs to stand up, but she realized that her feet were no longer listening to her commands.
Her sensitive intuition told her that the person in front of her was not her own kind. She did not dare to look up at him. She wanted to escape, but the fear caused by the huge difference in strength made her unable to stand up. Her head felt dizzy, and she felt that the things in front of her gradually blurred.
"You're bleeding." The figure squatted down next to her and touched her wound with his warm palm. A stream of heat flowed into her body through the wound on her neck. It was a kind of positive, healthy and unrestrained life force.
"Look into my eyes, don't die." the voice said gently.
Yun Zhao raised his head in a daze, and his heart constricted violently.
She couldn't see his face clearly, but his blue eyes were so bright and mesmerizing. They were like whirlpools that could suck in a person's soul. Those weren't human eyes.
"Hold on." The figure patted her face, but she still fainted.
…….
Three days later, she woke up in the hospital. There was no one in the ward. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment because she had lost too much blood. The doctor said that the person who sent her had already left.
Han Yunzhao's parents were working far away, so they couldn't rush over to take care of her. They could only complain to her over the phone,""What do you mean by running around without anything to do? Why aren't you in school at night? A disobedient girl deserved to die.”Yun Zhao did not dare to speak.
"I've transferred some money to your card. Pay the medical fees yourself. This bit of medical expenses was paid by the boss in the morning. If you don't want to study, go home early. We have a lot of money for you to make.”
"Alright, I understand." She said with a pale face.
Two police officers entered the ward. Both of them had solemn expressions. The older police officer said,"You're Han Yunzhao."
"Yes." She said cautiously, not knowing why they were looking for her.
The younger police officer sat at the side and took out his notebook to record.
"I'm Officer Zhang Youmin, and this is Officer Lu. We're all from the South Bank Police Station. We're here today to ask you about the situation that night.”
"Please speak."
"March 13th, around 11 PM, why did you appear on South Bank Street?”
"I came back from the internet cafe."
"You went to the internet cafe alone and came back around eleven, right?”Zhang Youmin stared at her.
"Yes."
"Then what happened to you?"
Yun Zhao opened his mouth, not knowing how to describe it.
"There was a monster with a human-like body. It dragged me into the alley.”
The two police officers looked at each other, and a strange expression appeared on their faces.
"And then?"
"It bit my neck like a vampire.”She tried her best to recall, and her voice could not help but tremble. Her heart clenched tightly, and it was very uncomfortable.
A strange smile appeared on Officer Zhang's face. She was not sure if she should continue.
"Then, how did you survive?”
Han Yunzhao bit her lip and said honestly,""A man in black saved me from behind. He killed that monster.”
"What does the man in black look like?”Zhang Youmin asked.
Han Yunzhao recalled and described,""I didn't see him clearly, but he was very tall, probably more than 1.8 meters.”
The two police officers exchanged glances and continued,""Are there any other characteristics?"
Yun Zhao thought of that pair of pale and slender hands and shook his head.
"Did the other party say or do anything to you?”
"No."
"What happened after that?"
"I don't know after that. I might have fainted.”She was telling the truth.
"You have to tell us the truth about the situation at that time. This case is very important to us, the Public Security Bureau, and the safety of the entire Z City.”Zhang Youmin said.
"I'm telling the truth." She looked at them sincerely.
Zhang Youmin's expression gradually became impatient. He said angrily,"I see that you're a student, so I'm patiently listening to you.”
Han Yunzhao paused and looked at him quietly. She knew they wouldn't believe her.
Zhang Youmin looked at Yun Zhao unhappily. "The safety of the entire city is in your hands now! We can only find the murderer faster if you tell us the truth. Do you know that three people died that night?”
When she heard that three people had died that night, she was a little shocked. However, she was telling the truth. If they didn't believe her, what could she do? Make up a lie for them?
"I've told you everything I know.”She could only say that. She did not expect them to find the murderer anymore.
"Even if you make it up, you have to make it up to be decent!”Zhang Youmin slammed the table and glared at her, as if he was angry.
"You went to verify what I said and proved that what I said was false?”She asked unwillingly.
Zhang Youmin's face was ashen and he was speechless.
"Little girl, are you sure what you saw that day was not an illusion?”Seeing that the conversation had reached a stalemate, Officer Lu could not help but speak gently.
" I'm not lying," Han Yunzhao nodded confidently." Believe it or not, I don't know about anything else."”
Seeing that they could not get any more information, the two police officers left.
Han Yunzhao looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and she felt like it was surreal. It looked exactly the same as before, but it also seemed like everything was different.
