A specially designed ultraviolet interrogation room.

The purple, cold light refracted through the thickened lead glass.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt material from ultraviolet radiation, accompanied by a buzzing sound of electricity.

Count Alexandru huddled in the stainless steel interrogation chair, his face, which had once made countless girls scream, now covered in red spots.

That's because of a similar allergic reaction caused by prolonged exposure to low-power ultraviolet light.

"Officer Lu, I beg you, turn off these damn lights right now."

The count's voice was hoarse as he struggled to maintain his last shred of dignity.

"As a Romanian count who has been granted a title, I should enjoy international privileges befitting my status."

Lu Jingyan sat in the shadows, just across the table.

He held a blue-covered copy of the "Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China" in his hand, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the spine.

"Preferential treatment?"

Lu Jingyan raised his head slightly, and a cold arc flashed across his glasses under the purple light.

"Mr. Alexandru, have you been sleeping in your coffin for too long, forgetting even the most basic geographical knowledge?"

Lu Jingyan slammed the law manual onto the table with a "bang".

"This is Jinghai City, People's Republic of China. We have no nobles here, only citizens."

The count's face turned red, mostly from the sun exposure.

He struggled to straighten his chest, his tattered tailcoat trembling as he did so.

"Even without feudal privileges, I possess diplomatic immunity! My family owns three castles in Bucharest..."

"Diplomatic immunity is for invited diplomats, not for bats that fall from the sky."

Lu Jingyan sneered, directly shattering his delusions.

"You didn't get a stamp, a visa, or even go through a proper customs and border control channel."

"According to our country's laws, what you did was illegal border crossing, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to classify you as a spy or an illegal infiltrator."

Just then, the interrogation room door opened.

Qin Mingyue walked in expressionlessly, carrying a silver refrigerated toolbox.

She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes revealing a professional coldness.

"Director Lu, the pliers and local anesthetic are ready."

When the count saw the two long-handled pincers gleaming with a cold light, his pupils suddenly contracted into a single red dot.

"What are you trying to do? I am immortal, my body is sacred and inviolable!"

Whether something is sacred or not is for our bureau's forensic experts to decide.

Lu Jingyan slowly stood up, walked around the interrogation table, and stood in front of the Earl.

He reached out his hand, which was gloved with white rubber, and roughly grabbed the count's chin.

"Mr. Alexandru, these two teeth of yours have extremely strong penetrating and infectious properties."

"In the legal definition of our country, this is classified as 'illegally carried highly lethal biological weapons'."

Lu Jingyan stared at the Earl's two gleaming tiger teeth, his eyes cold and devoid of any warmth.

"For the sake of public safety, we must disarm you."

The count was pinched so hard he couldn't speak, and could only make "woo-woo" protesting sounds.

"Director Lu, should we just pull it out?" Qin Mingyue pulled out the largest pair of pliers from the toolbox and weighed them in her hand.

"Is it possible without anesthesia? I want to see what the pain threshold of an immortal is."

The count trembled with fear, and the red light in his eyes almost went out due to terror.

"No! You can't do this! This is barbaric! This is abuse!"

"Abuse?"

Lu Jingyan loosened his grip and shook his gloves in disgust.

"No matter what title you hold in Europe, or how many estates you own."

"In China, the moment you set foot on this land, you are an undocumented overstayer suspected of attempted assault."

Lu Jingyan looked down at him from his superior position, his tone exuding an overwhelming sense of the rule of law.

"You want to use these two teeth to operate a sewing machine that's five hundred years old?"

"Do you still want to cooperate with us in exchange for a chance to perform well?"

The count slumped in the interrogation chair, watching the iron pliers in Qin Mingyue's hand getting closer and closer, his psychological defenses finally crumbling completely.

In Europe, even when he was being hunted by witchers, they would at least show some respect for his title of "Count".

But the Chinese policeman in front of him looked at him like he was a homeless person without a temporary residence permit.

This logically superior attack was more painful for him than ultraviolet light.

"I...I'm willing to cooperate."

The count closed his eyes in despair, two lines of cold, bloody tears sliding down his cheeks.

"As long as you don't pull my teeth... I'll agree to anything you ask."

"Great, I like dealing with people who have a strong sense of contractual obligation."

Lu Jingyan gestured for Qin Mingyue to put away the pliers and then turned off the glaring ultraviolet light.

The interrogation room went dark instantly, with only the count's rapid breathing echoing in the air.

"Director Lu, are you really going to let him go?" Zhao Tiezhu muttered quietly from the side.

"I think this foreign monster is really bad. He'll keep his teeth and prey on the girls here sooner or later."

Lu Jingyan ignored Zhao Tiezhu, sat back down in his chair, and took out a labor contract that he had prepared beforehand.

"Let me show you the way."

Lu Jingyan presented the contract to the Earl.

"Given that you entered the country illegally and have no legitimate source of income, you are highly likely to pose a threat to public security."

"According to the newly promulgated 'Management Measures for the Labor Reform of Non-human Biological Organisms' by the Administration Bureau."

"You can avoid going to jail, but you must fulfill your social obligations as a 'non-natural citizen'."

The count took the contract with trembling hands; he was so frightened that he barely had the strength to read.

"Social...obligations?"

"Simply put, it's about doing charity work."

A playful smile curved Lu Jingyan's lips.

"The blood bank in Jinghai City is currently facing a critical shortage of blood, and it is unable to allocate many rare blood types."

"A creature like you, with a natural sensitivity to blood and a special constitution, is simply a high-quality volunteer sent from heaven."

Lu Jingyan pointed to the signature area on the contract.

"I signed the contract and will work eight hours a day at the blood bank."

"Help nurses screen plasma and use your skills to improve blood collection efficiency."

"If you behave well, I can consider reducing your sentence from five hundred years to fifty years."

The count stared blankly at the contract, his mind a complete mess.

He was the noble Count Dracula.

They actually have to go to the blood bank to give ordinary people injections?

This is the ultimate humiliation to the highest dignity of the vampire race!

"What? You're not happy about it?"

Lu Jingyan's eyes turned cold as he pointed to the toolbox that Qin Mingyue hadn't closed yet.

"If you find this kind of charity work too tiring, I can send you to an underground prison."

"They recently locked up a guy who calls himself the 'Asura Dragon King,' and he's worried about not having anyone to practice his boxing with."

The count shuddered; he had seen that muscular freak when he came in.

Compared to being beaten by a madman in that dark underground, going to the blood bank doesn't seem so unacceptable.

"I'll sign... I'll sign..."

The count pressed his fingerprint onto the contract with trembling hands.

Looking at the bright red fingerprint, Lu Jingyan put away the contract with satisfaction and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Give him a temporary pass, labeled as 'special occupation involving blood collection'."

"Also, inform the person in charge of the blood bank."

"If this Earl dares to steal a single drop of blood, he will be dealt with directly as a 'theft of important state assets'."

After saying that, Lu Jingyan got up and walked towards the door.

"Director Lu, where are we going next?" Su Xiaoxiao asked excitedly.

Lu Jingyan stopped and glanced at the satellite monitoring data displayed on the tablet.

"Let's go to that popular park in the east of the city."

"There's some hairy foreign trash out there causing trouble under the full moon."
