Did the villainous professor survive today?

"Mr. V, what brings you here?"

Anser bowed deeply and asked with utmost respect.

Krenk's pupils dilated slightly.

Is this the subordinate that 'L' mentioned, the one who's trying to deal with that vampire?

He actually rose directly to the position of deputy warden.

However, due to the presence of the warden, it was inconvenient for them to take direct action.

Kroenke quickly figured out the connection, and he said:

"You captured a vampire in the sewers of the upper town last week, right?"

"yes!"

Anser nodded.

"Mr. V, that vampire is currently locked up at the bottom of the prison. The warden's current requirement is to thoroughly investigate the vampire's origins. I'm trying to find a way to get rid of it quietly."

"Take me to see that vampire. I promised 'L' I'd get rid of the wild vampire as soon as possible. Before coming here, I wanted to see the one you captured."

"plz follow me!"

Anser turned and walked outside.

Kroenke followed Anser into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, and it slowly descended to the lowest level of the prison.

Anser Russell

[Death Threat: C]

Kroenke was taken aback.

Is the warden's real surname Russell?

Is he a member of the Russell family?

But why does he use the surname Lakshmi to represent himself to the outside world?

Krenk's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of something.

He reached out and grabbed Anser's shoulder.

Anser was somewhat confused: "Mr. 'V,' what is this...?"

Kroenke calmly looked at Anser: "You're from the Russell family, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Anser's expression changed drastically, and fear flashed in his eyes:

"I...I'm so sorry, Mr. V! The assassination attempt arranged by the family that night was orchestrated by my brother, Lyman Russell, without my knowledge! Please...please forgive me!"

"You're a member of the Russell family, yet you were unaware of this?"

Krenk tightened his grip on Anser's shoulder with his right hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he were about to dislocate the other's arm at any moment.

Anser felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave; his legs went weak, and he instantly knelt down in front of Krenk.

"Mr. V, have mercy!"

He said, bowing and scraping,

"I...I'm the child of my father and his mistress, an illegitimate child. So, the family doesn't even want to give me a surname! I have no connection whatsoever with the family council!"

"Oh?"

Kroenke's tone was strange.

"It has nothing to do with us?"

Anser swallowed hard. "No...no!"

"What if I get you to turn against the Russell family?" Kroenke pressed.

"I swear to follow Mr. V to the death!"

Without hesitation, Anser knew that if he didn't pledge his loyalty now, he might be killed by the other side at any moment.

"You're 'L's' subordinate, I don't need your follower," Krenk sneered.

"Besides, the title of chief professor is just a title. Once it's used up, it's over. This is a personal matter between me and them. We can settle it after the mission is over."

For the vast majority of illegitimate children, being able to return to their family is their greatest wish.

Anser is most likely the same way; Kroenke's words were just a way of giving him a warning.

That way, I might be able to make good use of Anser's identity.

You intimidated Anser Russell.

[Points +1000!]

[Current points: 1000!]

The elevator doors opened, and Anser waited for Krenk to exit first before following behind him.

The passageway before us was deep and somewhat eerie under the cold lights, while the ventilation ducts overhead were operating at full power, making a rumbling sound.

“Mr. V, the vampire is locked up at the end; there’s no one else here,” Anser said.

"Okay, I understand."

Kroenke nodded and walked forward.

Anser followed closely behind.

"Were you also in charge of creating vampires?" Krenk suddenly asked, as if something had occurred to him.

"That's right! Ms. L's arrangement is for me to create vampires," Anser nodded. "I wonder why Mr. V is asking this?"

"To confirm some things."

Krenk nodded, thinking to himself, "So 'L' is a woman?"

That instantly reduces the search scope by half.

New female students or newly hired faculty members this year...

Wait a moment.

Krenk's pupils dilated slightly.

He remembered the girl who called herself Adele during class the day before.

But her actual name is Linlang, and she is of East Asian descent.

Could she be 'L'?

That girl looks so naive. You can only know a person's face, not their heart...

Moreover, logically speaking, it doesn't make sense.

He saw that the other party's death threat was only level E, and she was not on the list of invited guests at the banquet that day. Or did she manage to sneak in by some means?

Kroenke's thoughts raced.

Since the banquet was held on campus, the waiters would be selected from students of commoner backgrounds and given generous compensation.

From this perspective, perhaps Adele managed to sneak in using this method.

Although the possibility was extremely low, Krenk, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," still planned to go back and investigate her.

Kroenke left that aside for now, pointing instead to a sealed valve ahead:

"Is that vampire in here?"

"That's right!"

Anser stepped forward and turned the valve.

With a hissing sound of airflow, the sealed door in front of us was opened.

A strong stench of blood filled the air. Two large lights shone brightly from either side, revealing a strangely shaped creature in full view of Krenk.

It was a creature with bluish-purple skin and a smooth body.

It huddled in a corner like a curled-up animal, its face against the wall.

Facing Krenk was its back, with countless white bone spurs protruding from under its skin, sharp as teeth.

Segments of bone protrude from the thin skin, a horrifying and jagged sight.

"We clipped its wings. As the warden instructed, we've been feeding this creature only a tiny bit of animal blood this week. We've also been constantly shining bright light on it to weaken it. Don't worry, I've poisoned the blood we're feeding it. It won't be long before this vampire dies silently."

"Um."

Krenk calmly watched the vampire behind the iron bars.

Perhaps sensing the gaze behind him, the vampire turned around.

Its mouth was open, revealing sharp teeth, and its bloodshot eyes were filled with a thirst for blood.

After glancing at Krenk, the vampire suddenly opened his mouth to an incredible angle.

An extremely sharp hiss came from deep within the vampire's throat, and then, as if driven mad, the vampire lunged straight at Krenk.

clang!

The crisp sound of chains rang out, and the chains that had been attached to the vampire's ankles were now firmly restraining it.

"It's alright, Mr. V, it poses no threat to us."

Anser explained calmly,

"Its right foot was chained up, and it couldn't break free by brute force."

The vampire suddenly turned around and glanced at the chains that controlled its movements.

Without the slightest hesitation, the vampire opened its mouth and suddenly lowered its head.
