Six Hundred and Eleventh Eaters in the Middle of the Night
Night began to fall quietly.
An indescribably quiet atmosphere is quietly pervading in the foreign-style mansion of extraordinary scale.
The lights have long since gone out.
The human breath also disappeared.
At first glance, even if you tell others that this is a haunted house, they will definitely believe it.
"However, this is something that can't be helped, right?"
In the room, the window was being opened, the lights were not turned on, but Fang Li was talking to himself in the dark, looking at the entire eerily silent manor.
"In such a big house, there are only four people living in it, so it's impossible to be lively no matter what."
This is a relatively recent phenomenon.
Originally, for the Tono family with a large family and a great business, the mansion is not only lived in the direct line of Tono, but also has many branch families, relatives, and even servants who are responsible for taking care of them.
Around the mansion, the scattered houses were also inhabited before.
However, after Tono Akiha came to power, this strong-willed girl drove away all the branches and relatives of Tono's family, leaving only Amber and Jade.
And the reason is this.
"Because I don't like it."
It's that simple.
Tohno Akiba seems to hate these branch families and relatives who only know how to cling to relatives.
Therefore, after becoming the head of the family, Tono Akiba took vigorous actions to drive out all these branch families and relatives.
Naturally, this behavior is bound to raise all kinds of questions.
It's a pity that Tohno Akiba still carried it out desperately.
It confirms what he himself said.
"Since I am the head of the family now, I have my own way."
Therefore, Tohno Akiba can eliminate many criticisms simply because of one dislike,
Drive out the branch family and relatives.
Therefore, Tohno Akiba could invite an orphan who had been hunted down by the Tohno family for several years and was very likely to hold a grudge, and had evil intentions, without hesitation, and even hired him as a Deacon, recruited here.
"Should I say she is innocent? Or bold?"
Whether it's naive or bold, the current Patriarch of the Tono family is indeed quite individual and has the majesty of a superior.
For ordinary people, they should be deeply attracted by such a beautiful and strong girl, right?
Fang Li is also an informal person, and he has no ill feeling toward a girl with a strong personality like Tono Akiba.
"Although it's still a little too naive."
After leaving such a sentence, Fang Li suddenly moved.
"Snapped…"
Amidst the slight sound of stomping on the ground, Fang Li's figure suddenly turned into a gust of wind, and flew out through the window along the darkness like a crow blending into the night.
"sand…"
In the manor, the trees planted in the courtyard swayed gently under the blowing wind.
Fang Li turned into a ghost like this, and disappeared in the Tono family's mansion in an instant.
...
This is the bustling city center some distance away from the residential areas on the outskirts of the city.
At this time, on the streets in the city center, the flow of people has decreased compared to that during the day, making the lively atmosphere not as obvious as during the day.
Fang Li didn't know when he came here, and he blended into the flow of people very naturally, walking on the street like a stroll in the garden, while raising his head, looking at a store next to him.
Outside that storefront, there is a TV that is broadcasting the news.
And on the TV, such a news is being reported.
"Recently, the police found the body of a young woman in a nearby alley in the town. The body was found in the morning. According to preliminary investigations, the time of death was in the early morning, and the cause of death was massive blood loss. "
Accompanied by such reports, a news headline also appeared on the screen.
The title goes something like this.
serial murder case
Reports are being carried out under such headings.
"This is already the eighth murder case that happened this year. All the victims were young women, and the cause of death was all due to massive blood loss. The blood in each of the deceased was completely drained. The method of committing the crime was completely unanimous."
"Therefore, the police deduce that the murderer of these eight strange murder cases is the same person, and the identity of the murderer has not yet been confirmed."
"I hope that all citizens can actively cooperate with the police's actions. If you find any abnormal or suspicious characters, please notify the police as soon as possible."
Seeing the news, Fang Li paused for a moment.
Beside him, many people were also watching this scene, and started talking with the people around him.
"Is it another serial killer incident?"
"This is the eighth time."
"The murderer is so reckless, the police haven't arrested him yet, isn't it too dereliction of duty?"
"No way, the murderer may not be human."
"The blood in every dead body has been sucked out completely?"
"Could there really be any vampires?"
"how is this possible."
Conversations similar to the above are constantly coming from around.
"A vampire?"
Fang Li curled his lips and smiled noncommittally.
Besides Fang Li, there was another person among the crowd who walked away silently without saying a word.
Fang Li had noticed this person a long time ago.
So Fang Li stared at the past.
A pair of ice-blue magic eyes quietly emerged.
The surrounding world has become a patchwork state, causing crack-like threads to spread all over.
The bodies of pedestrians gathered around them were divided by the line representing death, as if they would shatter when touched, turning into broken limbs.
No one would have thought that by their side, there would be a terrifying monster that could tear themselves apart in an instant.
However, Fang Li ignored anyone around him and just stared at the person who left silently.
On that person's body, dead threads that were densely dense like a spider's web to a terrifying degree were spreading all over his body.
"Is that him?"
Fang Li followed without hesitation.
across the street.
Through the crowd.
Finally, he entered an alley.
After entering the alley, Fang Li immediately noticed it.
The pungent smell of blood.
"Hoo...hoo..."
Amidst the beast-like rapid breathing, the man just now was pressing a bloody corpse and was eating.
That's right, eating.
Biting his throat.
The flesh was torn apart.
He gnawed his neck.
sucking blood.
If this is not eating, then what is eating?
"It's filthy..."
Under Fang Li's murmur, the other party's movements stopped.
A pair of eyes without any reason at all turned to Fang Li.
Inside, it is full of madness and appetite.
