Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 13 Blood Map Ceremony

It lasted until about 10 o'clock at night, when a huge explosion came from the warehouse behind the bar.

The police, who had received the news early, evacuated the half-dressed men and women in an orderly manner.

It wasn't just ordinary people on the dance floor, there were also magicians who followed the sound and walked into the backyard.

Xu Shen clenched his fists tightly and stared there.

After a while, the people from the demon hunting team came out carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth.

Xu Shen was silent, the world belonging to the mage was like this, no one dared to pat his chest and confidently say that he could live safely until tomorrow.

That's why there's so much corruption on the dance floor.

Since we don’t know which will come first, the future or tomorrow, why not take pleasure in the present moment.

The vampire escaped.

I heard from the captain that the methods in the warehouse should have been arranged in advance. In one encounter, the demon hunting team sacrificed two members, and the vampire, not to mention his face, did not even see his shadow.

"Are you going to continue?"

"Continue, why don't you continue? Even if you risk your life, you will avenge your brothers." The captain gritted his teeth and rushed out of the bar with the angry team members.

There is a strong dark aura over there in the warehouse. As long as you follow it, you should be able to find this damn vampire soon.

As for Ding Yumian, Xu Shen hesitated several times, but looking at the furious captain, he finally trembled his lips and didn't mention it.

With Lingling around, he couldn't even follow him.

Xu Shen couldn't help sighing. He thought he had brought a little Zhuge, but he didn't expect that he was a dragster.

Lingling was so smart. She could see Xu Shen's thoughts at a glance. She flicked her ponytails, put her hands on her hips, and said fiercely: "Don't think they will find anything if they go there."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"According to the aunt at the clothing store, Sister Yu Mian came to this store this morning, and it has been at least more than ten hours now. What a stupid vampire he must be to not run away after so long. The dark atmosphere over there in the warehouse, It’s too obvious.”

"You mean, sway the tiger away from the mountain?"

"We don't rule out this possibility. It may also be to confuse the vision." Lingling analyzed matter-of-factly: "Don't you think our clues came too easily? Clothing store, bar, hospital, the three places are only a stone's throw away. Kilometers, if you put a little effort into it, you can definitely get the news about Sister Yumian appearing here."

Xu Shen was startled and panicked at the time, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed the case.

Lingling spoke while typing on the keyboard: "I have a doubt now. The vampire's ability will be greatly reduced during the day. He could obviously choose to take Sister Yumian away at night, but why did he choose to take away Sister Yumian in the early morning? Something must have happened early in the morning. Let it take Sister Yu Mian away."

Xu Shen recalled carefully that he got up early in the morning, brought breakfast to Yu Mian, and asked Dr. Wang about the spots on the back of Yu Mian's neck. After searching to no avail, he went to Qingtian Hunting Center.

Nothing special happened during this period.

"Take out those rune fragments and take a look."

The fragments were found in the warehouse and exploded all over the sky. Xu Shen also picked up some.

Lingling moved the computer over and carefully compared it with the picture that appeared on the computer.

"If I read it correctly, it should be the Blood Map Ceremony."

"Blood Map Ceremony?!"

Xu Shen had read the book before and knew a little bit about it.

The book says that vampires live in groups in families, but the way they absorb family members is not through blood kinship reproduction, but through a blood exchange ritual called the "Blood Map Ceremony" to turn ordinary people into vampires.

The leader of the ceremony will become the "elder" of the new vampire, and the new vampire cannot resist any orders of its elders.

Of course, in the eyes of normal people, this relationship is more appropriately described as "master-slave".

"How dare he!" Xu Shen was so angry that his eyes were about to burst.

Lingling comforted in a low voice: "Generally, the 'Blood Map Ceremony' does not last very short because it requires blood exchange, and it is basically chosen at midnight. This is the darkest night and the time when the success rate is highest. The warehouse explodes in just a short time. It was past 11 o'clock at night, so the ceremony probably hadn't started yet. Besides, Sister Yu Mian was not found at the scene."

"No, the ceremony is over."

The blood marks on these fragments have long dried and turned black, which is a symbol of the success of the blood map ceremony.

As a result, Xu Shen actually calmed down.

If you become a vampire...

Lingling wanted to speak but stopped.

Sister Yumian, do you still need to save her?
"Let's go. If you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses if you die. Doesn't this damn vampire leave behind these dark auras just to let us pass by? I will fulfill its wish."

"Xu Shen, don't be impulsive. The demon hunting team has passed. You are just a junior mage. If there are really vampires there, you will be a hindrance." Lingling tried her best to suck the milk, but Xu Shen continued How could a little girl like her be able to hold her back?

"If you don't care about me, I'll take off my clothes right now and dance there." Lingling pointed at the dance floor angrily.

Since the warehouse explosion did not endanger the dance hall, the place was still lively at this time.

Those shaking flesh figures made Xu Shen stop in his tracks.

It's hard to say what this girl's temperament is.

Knowing that Xu Shen was angry at the moment and finally stopped him, Lingling quickly pulled him to sit down.

The urban demon hunting team is not just for leisure. At two or three in the morning, Xu Shen received a call from the captain.

The vampire was captured alive in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. It was said that he was an absconding rapist.

As for Ding Yumian...

Not a word was mentioned.

As a rule, criminals are handed over to the police.

Xu Shen brought Lingling to the police station.

Xu Shen had never seen such an ugly and disgusting person, and today, he saw it.

In the interrogation room, the rapist with a frustrated look on his face was very arrogant at first, laughing extremely wildly, and said he didn't know or remember anything he asked.

Only with the police's "great memory recovery technique" did he confess everything.

It all starts with Ding Yumian's stunning appearance.

Because he was absconding, he was cautious in everything he did. He was still not satisfied with eating Ding Yumian as blood food, so he had the idea of ​​​​developing him into a junior.

In the early morning, he took advantage of the nurse's shift change time to control Ding Yumian to leave the hospital.

The bar owner and he were both vampires and agreed to cover for him. However, because Ding Yumian was so beautiful, the two got into a verbal dispute over who should become Ding Yumian's elder, which evolved into physical violence and then escalated into a life-or-death duel...

The rapist won, and the bar owner was made into a bomber by him and fed to his friends in the city's demon hunting team. Because he was in a panic, he left a lot of dark aura along the way...

After walking out of the police station, Xu Shen still seemed to be in a dream.

Lingling, on the other hand, frowned and said nothing.

According to the rapist's account, everyone finally found Ding Yumian in a cave.

Ding Yumian, who was in a coma, was quiet and beautiful, with no wrinkles in her flat clothes.

　After reading books for so many years, it’s not like I don’t have this awareness of lightning protection. Don’t worry, Ding Yumian is innocent, and her fingers have not even been touched by other men.
