"Everyone, give way, don't block the road."

"Sorry ma'am, please step aside."

"Don't look, everyone go back."

Difficult to separate the crowd of onlookers, Auston squeezed into the center of the crowd with a dignified expression, and ordered his subordinates to separate the spectators. After seeing the corpse lying on the ground, his eyebrows immediately frowned.

This is a male corpse, who looks to be in his early 30s, lying on his back on the corner of the street, his limbs are stiff, his complexion is terribly pale, and the strangest thing is the smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The man who was examining the corpse didn't even lift his head: "Here we come."

Alston hummed and squatted beside him, "How is it?"

Edward said nothing, and carefully opened the clothes on the corpse's chest. There was a hideous wound on the exposed skin. The wound was about a hand long and very deep. The turned-out flesh showed a paleness of blood loss.

After Edward finished checking, he looked up at him while taking off his gloves, frowning tightly, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Auston followed him and got up: "Would you like to help you take the body back?"

"Well, thank you."

An hour later, in the private meeting room on the second floor of the Edward Clinic, Edward took a leisurely sip of tea, saw the expression of the person opposite him who hesitated to speak, and smiled gracefully, "Auston, you are still so impatient."

Auston retorted: "You are still so secretive."

Seeing his expression of whether you like to talk or not, Edward thought to himself that this kid has such a bad temper after seeing him for so long. He shook his head helplessly, gently put the teacup on the cup holder, and took it out of his jacket pocket. In a special notebook for recording, he said: "The fatal wound was not the wound on the chest, but died of excessive blood loss. I looked carefully and found that the man had a scar on the superior carotid artery. It was initially suspected to be a very sharp knife or a sharp knife. In other words, he died of being drained of blood alive, and the amount of bleeding in his chest was not large, so I judged that it was ruptured after death, and his heart was completely dug out."

"What?" Austin asked in surprise.

Edward seemed much calmer, "In general, it's very unreasonable. With such a large amount of bleeding, no large bloodstains were found at the scene, not to mention that the neck is so fragile, but there is no sign of struggle on the corpse, as if it was voluntarily released. Dried blood, and..." He narrowed his eyes when he said this, "The smile on the corpse's face is very unusual, which makes me have some bad guesses."

Auston was taken aback when he heard this.

Edward: "Remember those legends I told you?"

Auston frowned, hesitated for a while and said, "You mean... a vampire?"

Edward nodded. Although he is a doctor, since Auston's sister Catherine married the king, he left Witlands and traveled all over the world. During this period, he heard all kinds of strange legends and came back occasionally. It will be treated as a story and told to this younger brother who has watched him grow up since he was a child.

"It is rumored that before the blood is sucked dry, the body will have hallucinations, and there will be a pleasant feeling of the soul coming out of the body, as if being in heaven, so after death, the smile at the last moment of life will be kept on the face."

Auston had a hard time accepting it for a while: "But this is a legend after all, such an illusory thing."

Edward showed an inscrutable smile, and put the notebook back into his pocket, "Legends like this don't come from nothing."

Auston was noncommittal, but instead hooked his lips into a smile: "When did you stop being a doctor and become a magician instead?"

Edward changed the subject, and asked seemingly casually, "How is your sister?"

Auston put away the teasing smile on his face: "I only saw her two days ago, and she is doing well."

Hearing that Edward picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, as if he wanted to use this action to cover up something, the corner of his mouth seemed to be smiling, but no matter how you looked at it, there was an inexplicable emotion in this smile, and he said softly: "That's good. "

Both of them stopped talking, and Ouston lowered his eyes. The person in front of him was his sister's childhood sweetheart. They even fell in love with each other vigorously. He once thought that Edward would become his brother-in-law. Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, and after all, he was still no match for the so-called fate. , He wondered more than once, if the two of them had persisted a little longer, the result would have been different.

Therefore, whenever he saw Edward's sad eyes that seemed to be casual but accidentally revealed, he would secretly swear in his heart that if one day he fell in love with someone hopelessly, he would never let go.

That strange corpse caused quite a stir, but this was just the beginning. In the following period of time, dead bodies appeared one after another in the city. They were discovered in the morning and died in a secluded corner.The dead did not have any common characteristics, the only thing in common was that they were all low-level people, some shop apprentices, some drunken alcoholics, and even prostitutes. The cause of death was excessive blood loss, and their hearts disappeared , and the same weird smile on his face.

This caused great panic among the citizens. There was a perverted serial killer in the city. No one knew when it would be his turn. People were panicked for a while, and they didn't even dare to go out, which greatly affected the affairs of the city. of normal operation.

Although the official promised to find the murderer as soon as possible, and sent the army to patrol around every night, it was still useless.

The citizens were in a state of panic all day long, and began to speculate wildly. Maybe this was a punishment from the gods?So one after another poured into the church, confessed to the Lord and prayed for protection.

The largest church in Witlands welcomes batch after batch of believers every day, and it is only idle at night. Countless candles burn quietly, illuminating this holy hall transparently.

The archbishop, dressed in red, prayed devoutly to the cross.

"My loving Lord, you are an omnipotent God, please save these children trapped in hell, and prevent them from falling into Satan's snare, so that they will not be tortured by death..."

His old face was extremely pious: "Lord, I pray to you, please guide me in my direction, and bring peace and wisdom to me, so that the devil has nowhere to hide..."

"Amen!"

He finally finished praying, but when he got up, he found someone standing behind him at some point.

The bishop saluted the man respectfully, "My lord envoy, do you have any instructions?"

The man was wearing a red cloak, standing in the shadow of the candlelight, his face could not be seen clearly, and his voice was ethereal: "Heretic."

The bishop turned pale, and said in disbelief, "You mean, evil heretics appeared in the city?"

The envoy nodded, "The devil has bewitched our believers, making them willing to sacrifice their own blood as a breeding ground for the birth of devils."

Bishop: "Then what should I do?"

One wave after another, the church announced the news of heretics in the city, and then began to arrest people. Anyone who behaved differently or disrespected the gods was arrested by the church army and accepted the judgment of the church. The city of Witlands fell into endless panic.

Auston is so busy every day, his men have searched the hunting ground almost all over the place, and there is nothing to gain, and there is no clue about the serial murder in the city. Yong, he was about to collapse.

In the early morning of that day, Auston led his subordinates to patrol, when someone came to report suddenly: "My lord, the church has arrested a group of civilians, saying that they are the supporters of the devil, and they will be burned to death in the central square at dawn. "

Auston was furious, what kind of bastards are these idiots doing!It's time to add chaos!The number of people who died in vain under their hands may not be counted.

"Follow me!" Auston took the army and rushed to the central square aggressively.

When he led the army to forcibly rescue the man tied to the pillar, the cardinal was stopped aside, trembling with anger, trembling: "You, you dare to violate the will of the Lord, you are blasphemy , will be punished one day..."

Auston had long disliked the church, and at this moment he didn't even bother to give him a look. He indifferently ordered his subordinates to appease the survivors, then turned around, and when he passed by the bishop, he deliberately tore off the sterling silver cross pendant on his neck. The bishop was so angry that he almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Seeing the bishop's deflated expression, Auston felt a little more depressed. He walked quickly, shuttling through the dense crowd. At this time, the light was still very dim. has arrived.

Suddenly his eyes fixed on one place, and a familiar figure came into his vision.

Pale skin, blood-red lips, half of the face reflecting the flickering fire, strange and bewitching, this ominous beauty is not like what humans should have.

The seed of doubt in Alston's heart took root at this moment.

Yu Fu lay paralyzed on the bed, staring blankly at the bed curtain, and murmured in a low voice: "It's over, I shouldn't go out to watch the fun, what kind of eyes does that guy look at me, he doesn't think I did it, does he?"

The system said coolly: "The premise is that he needs to know that you are a vampire."

Yu Fu's heart tightened, and he asked, "System, tell me honestly, besides Tracy and me, are there any other vampires in this city?"

The system hesitated and seemed unsure: "In principle, no, because vampires are a rare species in the setting of this world."

Yu Fu was contemptuous, thinking that I believed in your evil: "Then what is the situation now, sucking up blood and digging out hearts, it really looks like a cult style."

system:"…………"

The farce in the church finally subsided under the fierce resistance of the people, but the smiling corpses continued to appear. The threat of death was like a big knife hanging over everyone's heads, and it would fall one day.

Once there is doubt in his heart, all clues will become evidence that cannot be let go. Auston sent someone to secretly observe Spencer's house and report the situation to him on time every day.

Yu Fu stays at home honestly, sleeps and reads every day, listens to Lilith playing the violin, and occasionally goes to his own shop for a walk to refresh his sense of existence as a boss, or attend some charity banquets to donate money generously, diligently Diligently be a law-abiding and caring five-good citizen.

However, the system just didn't want him to have a good time, and within a few days, his premonition came true.

That night, he took a shower and went to bed to go to bed, when the system's cold electronic voice suddenly sounded: "Submission 0, [Who is the murderer], the mission progress is [-]%."

Yu Fu sat up in shock from his dying illness: "Damn!"

At one o'clock in the morning, the city of Witlands was silent, and the night was like thick ink that couldn't be melted away, except for a sliver of starlight sprinkled from the night sky.

According to the guidance of the system, Yu Fu came to this civilian area in the west of the city. Perhaps because of the recent tragedy, the doors of every house were closed, even the previously lively underground casinos were closed.

He walked solemnly, barely making a sound under his feet, and when he turned a corner, he smelled a bloody smell that came with the wind.

His heart sank, and he followed the smell to find the place where the incident happened, but it was a pity that he came a step late.

There was a man lying in the corner, his hands and feet were obviously convulsing in pain, but he had a weird smile on his face, Yu Fu stepped forward quickly, reached out and touched his neck, it was still warm, but the big hole in his chest showed that this man was Impossible to save.

The smell of this blood was too strong, it was a kind of mental and physical torture for Yu Fu, he almost couldn't help but bent down, wanting to lick the sweet and mellow blood.

"Don't move!" came a deep voice.

The crimson in Yu Fu's eyes receded instantly, and he raised his head vigilantly.

A few steps away, the gun in Oston's hand aimed at him, with a gloomy expression, "If you move again, I will shoot!"
