NOVPUBShen Youyou frowned uncomfortably when she saw this.
She hated Mu Chengsi looking at her like that.
If she had a choice, the first person she would kill would be Mu Chengsi—such an eyesore.
She shifted her gaze away and was about to speak to Jiang Xi when Mu Chengsi’s voice suddenly came from beside her: "You mean to say Yi Xian was bitten to death by Mary, so Mary is a vampire, right?"
Shen Youyou’s movements froze. Her eyes were still tinged red from crying, but she nodded firmly at Mu Chengsi: "Yes, Mary is a vampire."
Her gaze flickered slightly, and she continued, "And I know where Lina’s heart is hidden."
Not wanting to face Mu Chengsi any longer, she looked up at Jiang Xi beside her.
"It’s inside Mary’s body now."
Mary’s abnormality must have come from that heart. Since she herself could draw power from the gemstone, the other party must have absorbed that power too.
It was her own fault for momentarily forgetting about this—too careless.
Thinking of this, a flash of regret crossed Shen Youyou’s face.
Hearing this, Jiang Xi was shocked, "The heart can go into a human body?"
"It can." Shen Youyou explained, "A vampire’s heart contains their power. Once a human absorbs that power, they unknowingly turn into a vampire. Mary probably doesn’t even realize it herself."
Hearing this, a trace of contemplation flashed through Jiang Xi’s eyes. She glanced at the wound on Shen Youyou’s abdomen and hurriedly stepped forward to show concern: "How’s your wound? Is it serious?"
The wound had almost healed. Shen Youyou exhaled and forced a smile: "It’s fine, not a big problem."
She looked around but couldn’t help asking, "Where’s Bo Jingmo?"
"Bo Jingmo?" Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then showed a hesitant expression on her face, "He..."
"He went to find you. Didn’t you see him?" Wu Bei walked over, frowning, "His own girlfriend is this badly hurt, and he’s playing missing? Don’t tell me he got scared and ran off? What do you think, Mu Chengsi?"
Mu Chengsi had been staring at Yi Xian’s corpse. Hearing someone call her, she seemed to snap out of it and replied, "Ah?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, she tugged at the corner of her lips, her tone ambiguous.
"Who knows?"
Maybe he went to find the vampire.
Mu Chengsi was actually very angry right now. She knew Yi Xian was killed by Shen Youyou, but she couldn’t expose her yet.
But why did Shen Youyou have to kill Yi Xian at this moment? She was so close—
If she had let Yi Xian see Lina’s face once, and compared it with the last instance’s NPC, they could have found the connection between Bo Jingmo and the NPC.
Was it a coincidence, or was there a problem with the whole thing itself?
Now not only had everything gone down the drain, but she also failed to protect the newcomer.
Mu Chengsi silently clenched her fists, her eyes filled with both anger and guilt.
If she had listened to Bo Jingmo from the start and warned Yi Xian about Shen Youyou being suspicious, maybe none of this would have happened.
Although life and death were inevitable in an instance, Yi Xian was someone she had brought in, even under the status of a senior.
Mu Chengsi masked the emotions in her eyes, lowered her gaze, and stood up, shoving her hands into her pockets without saying anything.
Meanwhile, after hearing that Bo Jingmo had gone to find her, Shen Youyou’s face showed a flash of panic: "He went to find me?"
Bo Jingmo went to find her? When? She hadn’t seen him at all.
Shen Youyou frowned tightly, trying to recall the moment she opened the door, but the situation back then was too chaotic. She hadn’t noticed if anyone was around.
If Bo Jingmo had been there... did he hear her conversation with Mary?
Shen Youyou grew anxious, unable to control her expression.
"Youyou, what’s wrong?"
Hearing Jiang Xi’s concerned voice beside her snapped her back to her senses. She quickly put on a smile: "Nothing. Our priority now is to find Mary. We can’t let Lina discover it first, otherwise..."
But before she finished speaking, they heard the sound of high heels clicking from the end of the hallway.
"Da, da, da."
The footsteps came at a steady pace, slowly approaching in the darkness. Everyone instinctively held their breath, staring unblinkingly into the corridor’s depths.
A woman’s figure gradually emerged from the darkness, delicate beams of light reflecting off her jet-black hair, making it shine brilliantly. The curls at the ends were perfectly styled, and her white dress swayed elegantly—like a lazy white cat.
She tilted her head slightly, her fox-like eyes curling up: "What is it you didn’t want me to know?"
The woman’s familiar face stunned Jiang Xi. She stared blankly at Yu Li, but under her calm appearance, waves were raging inside.
Th-this... isn’t this Bo Jingmo’s junior?!
But compared to Yu Li’s appearance, the bigger problem they had to face was behind her.
Everyone’s gaze shifted to the man standing behind the woman—the man with red eyes.
When they clearly saw the man’s face, shock and astonishment filled their eyes, soon turning into wary defensiveness. They instinctively took a few steps back.
Jiang Xi had previously suspected it. If Bo Jingmo possessed immortality in the instance, what form would it take? A ghost, or a vampire?
Now it was obvious—it was the latter. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
So, does Bo Jingmo still have his self-awareness now?
Such a thought flashed quickly through her mind as she locked eyes with the man. But his expression remained normal, making it impossible to tell whether he was conscious.
Jiang Xi quietly gripped the item hidden in her pocket and glanced at Shen Youyou.
This wasn’t the time for her to step up, because—
——Shen Youyou was Bo Jingmo’s "girlfriend."
As expected, after seeing Bo Jingmo’s appearance, Shen Youyou’s initial shock quickly turned into overwhelming rage. She roared furiously, "Lina, what did you do to Bo Jingmo!!"
Had this woman lost her mind? She actually dared to turn Bo Jingmo into a vampire?!
In an instant, all of Shen Youyou’s plans were thrown into chaos. She had worked so hard to hide her own vampire identity, not just to win Jiang Xi’s trust, but also to prevent Bo Jingmo from finding out.
And now, Lina had turned Bo Jingmo into a vampire too?!
Seeing the man’s eyes, even purer red than her own, a trace of distortion flashed across Shen Youyou’s face.
And he had been personally turned by a vampire, making his bloodline higher than hers.
Thinking of this, after the initial fury, jealousy and unwillingness inevitably surfaced in her heart.
It was too unfair. She had worked so hard, and Bo Jingmo had obtained it so easily!
