Compared to other cities, the mornings in Misaki Town seemed to be more lively.
Maybe it was because the serial killer incidents were still going on, making the night a forbidden time. People couldn't go out at night and could only release their energy during the day.
In any case, the commercial street near downtown, though some distance from the residential area, was bustling with people early in the morning.
People chatted and laughed, often passing each other. But almost everyone was looking at one person.
That person was a girl who, looking like a foreign tourist, was happily pulling two young men along with her. She exuded the pure and romantic aura of a princess.
The beauty of the True Ancestor Princess could be like a mystery in the eyes of ordinary people, enough to become a kind of power.
Thus, wherever Arcueid went, people of all ages and genders would gaze at her, their eyes faintly filled with amazement and fascination.
Were it not for the fact that Arcueid was pulling Fang Li and Tohno Shiki, someone with evil intentions would surely have approached her.
Fang Li and Tohno Shiki couldn't stand it any longer as Arcueid walked energetically towards the shopping street in front of them.
"Where exactly are you taking us?" Fang Li asked directly. "Even if it's just for fun, I'm still the Steward of the Tohno family, not someone with nothing to do. You dragging me out all of a sudden like this must be worrying Kohaku and Hisui."
"Yes." Tohno Shiki strongly agreed. "I also have to go to school. I'm definitely late by now and Akiha will definitely scold me to death when I get home tonight."
Hearing this, Arcueid's enthusiastic expression turned unhappy.
She stopped, turned around, and spoke with dissatisfaction, her hands on her hips.
"What the hell, is being a steward and going to school more important than finding the vampire in this town?"
Hearing this, Fang Li and Tohno Shiki looked at each other in blank dismay.
"So, in other words..." Tohno Shiki said uncertainly. "You brought us here to help you find the vampire in this town?"
"That's right," Arcueid replied matter-of-factly. "I am too weak now, my strength is very low. Ideally, I would like more time to rest and regain my strength, but it seems we don't have that much time."
"Not enough time?" Tohno Shiki asked somewhat unsure. "Why?"
It was Fang Li who answered, not Arcueid.
"Because of Nrvnqsr, right?" Fang Li narrowed his eyes and said indifferently. "That guy was devoured by the vampire."
"Devoured?" Tohno Shiki was stunned.
"Literally," Fang Li explained. "Dead Apostles drink human blood to survive, just like humans need nutrients from food. Dead Apostles need genetic material from human blood to repair their bodies, which suffer from incomplete immortality and the ravages of time."
"If a vampire drinks blood freely, his power will grow as his genetic material is replenished," Fang Li said coldly. "Now, the vampire causing the serial murders has drunk Nrvnqsr's blood."
"What?" Tohno Shiki said in astonishment. "Can a vampire drink the blood of another vampire?"
"In this situation, it's more like devouring than drinking," Fang Li said to Tohno Shiki. "Nrvnqsr had immense power. If his blood was drunk, it's likely that his power was also absorbed, greatly increasing the vampire's power."
Upon hearing this, Tohno Shiki began to understand.
The so-called lack of time refers to this problem.
"If we let this guy continue to suck blood, his power will increase to an unprecedented level," Arcueid said, looking seriously at Fang Li and Tohno Shiki. "And now that I'm weakened, if we don't find him quickly, fighting him will be extremely troublesome."
Troublesome? It would be more than troublesome.
Given Arcueid's current state, the most likely outcome is that she will be killed by such a powerful vampire.
Arcueid surely understands this.
That's why she said there's no time left.
"We must find him soon."
Arcueid's voice was full of determination.
"Although we don't know where he's hiding right now, he's definitely absorbing Nrvnqsr's power silently. When night falls, he'll release the dead servants he controls to go out and suck blood everywhere."
"The dead are different from vampires. After being drained of blood by a vampire, they are transformed directly into servants, ignoring the possibility of becoming vampires themselves. As these minions move about the city sucking blood, most of the blood they collect will flow back to the vampire who controls them. The people they suck blood from will become new servants who will then go around sucking blood, creating a perpetual cycle."
"If we sit and wait, not only will his power continue to grow, but this city will eventually become a city of the dead, filled with enemies."
To prevent this, Arcueid wanted to enlist the help of Fang Li and Tohno Shiki.
Hearing Arcueid's words, Fang Li remained calm, but Tohno Shiki found it hard to breathe.
After all, Tohno Shiki didn't fully understand the topic of vampires, but he understood the terrible implications of the term "City of the Dead".
If it really came to that, wouldn't Akiha, Kohaku, and Hisui also be unknowingly attacked and turned into pitiful dead servants, manipulated by the vampire and deprived of any meaningful existence?
This thought made Tohno Shiki restless.
Only Fang Li asked a crucial question.
"Even if you say that, we don't know where he's hiding. In such a big city, how can the three of us find him?"
We need to know how to search before we can even begin.
Otherwise, relying on just three people to find someone in a city, especially a Vampire hiding in the shadows and blood-sucking, seems impossible.
Thus, this problem needs to be solved first. However, if this problem were easy to solve, the Vampire wouldn't be hiding.
"No matter what, we must search for him."
Arcueid's gaze was so intense it was suffocating as she spoke.
"We have no other way."
Tohno Shiki was speechless.
As for Fang Li, he fell into deep thought.
"Is there really no way?"
