"Really? Why don't you try some?"
"Hehe, don't rush, I'll savor you slowly later." The girl slowly stood up as she spoke. "You're a formidable opponent who can defeat that guy, Izo. I'll wait for my other companions to arrive, and then we'll slowly devour you together, like hounds."
"Hunting dog?" Lu Ye was taken aback. "I've never heard anyone describe themselves as a dog before."
"Even if we are dogs, we are a pack of wild dogs, and our name is Wild Hounds."
"Oh, a mad dog." Lu Ye understood.
After the girl injected Berlik with a vial of medicine, Berlik's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
However, the girl just stayed there, neither intending to attack Lu Ye nor to retreat.
All she had to do was block Lu Ye here, wait for her other companions to arrive, and then surround and kill Lu Ye.
Lu Ye wasn't worried about being surrounded and killed, since there was a window not far from him, and it was only on the third floor, which wasn't particularly high. He could escape if he wanted to.
However, it was the "companion" the girl in front of him was the one who caught his attention.
The building has four entrances, and the direction he is in is guarded by Yizang. The girl came from another place. Does this mean that there is a companion at each entrance?
And more importantly, Berlik is still in her hands.
If we don't kill him, it will be difficult to complete the subsequent uprising in Anning Road, and the special mission will also fail.
Lu Ye calculated the time; it had been almost twelve minutes since he entered the building.
The commotion outside was getting louder and louder. Even if Leone and Hill could still hold off the guards of the Tranquil Road, the garrison and the army would be arriving soon, and then they would have no choice but to flee.
The woman in front of him was extremely cautious, her gaze fixed on him, refusing to look away...
Lu Ye's right hand fingers quietly and slowly curled up, making a loose grip.
Try to distract her, even just a little bit.
"By the way, have you had dinner?" Lu Ye suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The girl didn't understand what he meant, but she still answered, "No, after all, I still need to maintain my figure."
"How about I treat you to something to eat?"
“Of course, you’ve already invited me,” the girl laughed, revealing her fierce fangs. “I told you I would slowly devour you and suck every last drop of your blood dry.”
“I’m not referring to that. You know, there’s something in this world that you don’t eat with your mouth, and no one who’s tasted it can describe its flavor. Do you know what it is?” Lu Ye asked.
"What is that indescribable taste?"
"It's peanuts."
"Huh?" The girl looked puzzled. How could she not describe what peanuts taste like?
Her attention shifted slightly, and her expression showed a thoughtful look.
Lu Ye seized the opportunity, raised his hand and fired a shot without any warning.
The bullet struck the girl squarely between the eyebrows, and her body fell backward instantly, blood spreading across the ground.
Lu Ye did not stop. He took a step forward and swung the Mortal Blade in his hand to slash downwards.
If this attack succeeds, it could kill both Berlik and the girl.
But the next second, something strange happened.
The girl, who had been shot between the eyebrows, suddenly sprang up from the ground, letting out an inhuman roar. Her face was contorted in a grotesque expression, her veins were bulging, and her fingernails had become unusually sharp and strong enough to deflect Bai Lei's attack.
"What the hell!?"
Lu Ye was stunned when he saw this.
Putting aside the girl's appearance, the bullets in Silver Dancer are armor-piercing rounds. Is your forehead harder than alloy?
However, he reacted quickly; the woman wasn't the point, the point was Berlik.
Although he hadn't yet gotten the source of the potion from him, considering that the woman's accomplices would be arriving soon, he decided to eliminate them first. So, without hesitation, he shot Berlik in the head.
A white and red substance was seen flowing from Berlik's temples; the man's brain was probably a complete mess.
After doing all this, Lu Ye immediately prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the girl uncontrollably fell backward, her body convulsing.
It seems that the surprise attack earlier wasn't entirely ineffective; although it didn't kill her, it did inflict serious injuries.
At this moment, Lu Ye hesitated.
This woman was not one of Lubbock's subordinates, but rather, like Izang, belonged to another organization.
Perhaps this "organization" knows the whereabouts of the drug.
There was one thing that puzzled Lu Ye: if they were really related to the potion, why hadn't they used it?
Could it be due to some side effect of the medication?
After all, there's a saying that goes, "People who sell cigarettes generally don't smoke."
Lu Ye ultimately refused to let this opportunity slip away.
Just as he was about to act, the woman grabbed Lubbock's corpse and bit down hard on his body with her mouthparts.
The fangs sank deep into Lubbock's neck, and Lu Ye instantly realized that this woman was probably some kind of vampire.
He immediately rushed forward and slashed down with his Mortal Blade.
A perfect high bar.
——Wei Mingli·Yiwen!
The vampire rolled to the side, but her entire left arm was still severed, along with the shoulder muscles.
She screamed incessantly, her hoarse voice like the crows rising and falling in a graveyard, utterly chilling.
Lu Ye pressed his advantage, and the woman was no longer able to resist. The next strike would be the end of her life!
Even vampires would likely have their healing abilities significantly reduced under the miasma of the Mortal Blade.
At that very moment, a purple light suddenly appeared in the room.
The intense light forced Lu Ye to shield his eyes.
"What exactly is this...?"
Chapter 265 But I Refusal
While covering himself, Lu Ye had to abandon his attack on the vampire and immediately retreat, moving away from the center of the light source.
Why there was a purple light in the room, only God knows.
However, one thing is for sure: this is definitely not a good thing!
A moment later, the dazzling light dissipated, leaving only the array pattern on the floor emitting a faint purple glow.
In the center of the image is a white-haired man who is carrying the vampire woman in his arms.
Upon seeing his face, the vampire woman immediately fainted with relief.
This person was none other than Sheila, who had met with Berlick earlier.
He was somewhat surprised when he saw Lu Ye.
Although he had heard of the newly appointed captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, this was the first time he had seen him in person. After all, due to his own limitations and other reasons, he had only appeared in the capital openly a handful of times.
"So you're Lu Ye? You're younger than I thought." Sheila said with a sinister smile.
After parting ways with Berlik, he didn't go too far, but stayed in the surrounding buildings, observing the situation.
Lu Ye witnessed everything from entering the room to defeating the vampire woman. Although he couldn't see the whole process clearly, he had a general understanding of it.
Protecting Berlik is just empty talk; there are plenty of replacements for him everywhere, so there's no need to treat him like a precious treasure.
Berlik summoned Sheila to save his own life, but Sheila really wanted to observe Luye.
The reason they deliberately dispersed their forces was to let Lu Ye and the others in.
He wanted to know where Lu Ye had gotten the detailed information about the potion. Could it be from Ou Jia, the former captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison? If so, the situation was quite serious. He still had some evidence left between him and Ou Jia that he hadn't had time to destroy, and Ou Jia had died too suddenly. He needed to find out the whereabouts of that evidence from Lu Ye.
The teleportation array in this room is Sheila's last resort, in case "Wild Hound" fails.
And that "what if" has indeed become a reality.
However, the objective was to capture them alive...
Shera glanced out the window at the blazing fire.
It's unlikely to happen now...
"Fortunately, at least I'm better looking than you."
Lu Ye laughed it off, but he felt something was off.
Why does this white-haired man look so familiar? It's like he's been copied from someone else.
However, he couldn't recall it for the time being, but he didn't think too much about it and prepared to face the enemy.
The initiative is currently in his hands. The rest of the "Wild Hound" squad has not yet arrived, and the opponent is only the white-haired man. Apart from the strange purple light, no special weapon has been seen in his hands yet.
After assessing the situation of both sides, Lu Ye thought that they could still fight, and even if they couldn't win, they could escape by jumping out of the window.
However, the battle must be limited to one minute or less; any longer and it won't work.
However, Lu Ye had no intention of taking the initiative; he planned to hand over this "initiative" to the other party.
Almost fourteen minutes have passed since we entered the building.
If this drags on any longer, the situation will become quite dire.
He was waiting for the other party to make a move.
If Sheila is ready to make a move, he will definitely fight with all his might.
However, Sheila did not make a move.
He knew that Lu Ye was capable of defeating Izo, Holimaka, and the vampire Dotya in his possession all by himself, which meant that Lu Ye was quite strong. In addition, Lu Ye himself did not show any signs of weakness, so he gave up the idea of attacking.
To find out the whereabouts of that evidence, besides interrogation, there is another method: winning them over.
“Your strength is truly impressive.” Sheila kicked at Berlik’s corpse on the ground. “To be able to locate Berlik’s room so quickly and accurately, and to defeat Izo, Holimaka, and Dortya in quick succession, I wish I had met someone like you when I was wandering around back then. But your other teammates don’t seem to have your strength…”
