What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Late at night, at the port of Shanghai.

A cargo ship slowly docked in the port. After completing the inspection and handover with the port staff, the people on board disembarked and went to explore downtown Shanghai.

After the last person left, two pairs of scarlet eyes opened inside the once calm cargo ship.

There are indeed two vampires here.

"Sister, have you determined the compass direction?"

One of the white-haired, rosy-cheeked girls looked to her side and asked the mature woman who resembled her by about 70%.

"It's confirmed. The stolen sacred coffin has indeed entered the territory of Shenzhou. We must proceed with caution from now on."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired, red-eyed mature woman holding an exquisite compass nodded.

She then pushed the locked metal container door, and the outer iron chain instantly shattered, and the lever bent from a straight line into a C-shape.

The neon lights illuminating the night sky and the scenery of the international metropolis came into view as the container doors opened, moving the two vampire girls deeply.

"It looks even better than Paris... Is this China? I thought it would be more classical."

The younger sister looked somewhat at a loss.

When I heard my elders talk about China in the past, they often described it as tranquil and elegant.

Only the most vibrant and down-to-earth major city (the capital) resembles a majestic dragon coiled on the earth, swallowing and spitting out all the wealth of the world.

However, the Shanghai they saw before them was even more prosperous than Paris, the romantic city they had seen when they were born!

It's nothing like the China they've come to know.

"...Alita, the Elder seems to be talking about China from several hundred years ago."

The mature woman standing to the side pondered for a moment before realizing that the person who had been telling them the story hadn't left the house in centuries and didn't even know how to use a smartphone.

"Won't we be discovered if we go straight into the city?"

The younger sister asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've already studied the clothing of ordinary people beforehand, so the disguise will be absolutely foolproof!"

The mature woman smiled confidently, and then the shadows beneath their feet surged, covering their entire bodies like liquid.

In the blink of an eye, their magnificent classical aristocratic gowns transformed into Victorian Gothic outfits—black linings, black trousers, leather vests, high boots, belt embellishments, and stylish long trench coats.

If Chen Xiao saw this, he would probably complain that these two vampires looked like hunters who had walked out of Bloodborne.

"Is this what commoners wear?"

The younger sister lowered her head and spun around in place, seemingly quite satisfied with the outfit.

She had originally thought that the clothes her sister designed for commoners would be made of fabric that would tear easily, but it turned out to be just clothes with fewer frills than the ones she usually wore.

Besides that, there's another problem...

"Sister, why do I feel a tightness in my chest?"

The younger sister tugged at the lining, finally allowing the two tightly compressed balls to relax.

"..."

The older woman silently glanced at her younger sister's chest.

After a long pause, he turned his head and said in a somewhat stiff tone:

"That kind of thing isn't important."

She then walked ahead, with her sister close behind, and the two of them jumped from the cargo ship into the port.

Compared to the older sister who was focused on the compass, the younger sister was more curious about this unusually quiet port.

"It feels so quiet, sister."

"I'm halfway there," my younger sister said curiously.

"There are no workers on duty in the port, it's so different from the port of Hanoi in Paris."

The mature woman nodded upon hearing this and replied:

"Yes, the workers in the port have probably all gone to the city to rest."

"Ha, but even if there are a few people on duty, they won't be able to spot us."

The younger sister held the back of her head with both hands, looking relaxed and content.

"You seem pretty happy."

The older woman turned to look at her younger sister.

"Of course! This time, not only will I be able to retrieve the Holy Coffin and make amends, but I'll also get to travel around China. I'm definitely going to brag about it to my sisters when I get back!"

When she said the last sentence, the younger sister couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"yes……"

The older sister seemed to be affected by her younger sister's emotions and couldn't help but grin.

That's true; the orthodox vampires of Europe haven't set foot on the land of China for a long time.

In a sense, the two of them are the first vampires to actively engage with this ancient civilization since the Great Elder hundreds of years ago.

Thinking about it that way, I'm actually a little excited!

buzzing...

However, just as the mature woman's lips curled into a slight smile, she sensed a threat and her lips instantly fell back. Then, a slender silver sword slowly rose from the shadows.

"elder sister!"

The younger sister beside her saw this and realized something was wrong; a silver longsword also rose from the shadows behind them.

*Slap slap slap slap...!*

Before the two sisters could make a move, a bright white light suddenly burst forth from the surrounding shipping containers, illuminating a ten-meter radius around them as if it were daytime!

"Is this ultraviolet light?!"

The mature woman was startled by what she saw.

Although they, as orthodox vampires, do not die from sunlight like the inferior species recorded by humans, the ultraviolet rays in sunlight can still suppress their physiological discomfort.

[Blood Magic - Blood Mist Avatar] x2

In order to get away from the area covered by ultraviolet lights as soon as possible, the two sisters raised their hands, and black mist with the color of blood burst out from their bodies.

The outer layer of black mist successfully blocked the ultraviolet radiation, allowing the two sisters, who had turned into gas and were hidden deep inside, to move their bodies.

Just as the black mist they had transformed into was about to break through the ultraviolet light, golden talismans suddenly lit up on the surface of the surrounding containers, forming a huge golden barrier that trapped them in the middle.

"There's no escaping it..."

Unable to maintain their black mist state, the two reverted to their original forms and had to bend down, pulling up their coats to shield themselves from the ultraviolet rays.

Fortunately, not long after, the power of the surrounding ultraviolet lamps began to decrease, allowing them to finally relax a little.

At this moment, Huang Qingque appeared within the range of the light, looking at the two sisters with surprise. Apart from being a little weak, they were almost unharmed.

"Even ultraviolet lamps couldn't cause any damage, so it seems that you two belong to a high-ranking clan among vampires."

"You..."

The two sisters looked over at the sound, and were about to start cursing, but when they saw that Huang Qingque was wearing an official special forces uniform, they had to suppress their fierce expression.

Looking around, the two noticed that in addition to the ultraviolet lights, there was a group of armed police officers carrying assault rifles, whose magazines were probably filled with mercury bullets designed to target vampires.

The two sisters: ...

The sisters were drenched in sweat.

"Sister, didn't you say it would be foolproof?"

The expressionless younger sister looked at the mature woman beside her.

"..."

The mature woman's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.

Although she didn't answer her sister's question, she seemed confident.

However, the next moment...

"We surrender."

The mature woman gave a standard French Plain White Flag salute.

Although she had never been to Yingzhou, she now understood the meaning of "a wise man submits to circumstances".

Huang Qingque:?

The surrounding armed police officers: ?
