Please hear Me Quibble

Chen Shuo's gaze darkened, but quickly returned to its usual state.

He reached out and patted his roommate Lu Chen on the shoulder, then tossed his meal card to Lu Chen, saying,

"Go to the Second Canteen and save me a seat."

"And while you're at it, buy me some food. I'll treat you this time."

Before Lu Chen could react, Chen Shuo had already turned around and swiftly ran towards the shade of the phoenix tree.

Lu Chen watched Chen Shuo's departing figure, thinking that he was going to pursue the campus beauty, Su Xiyan. However, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were heading in completely different directions.

"What's he up to, all secretive?" Lu Chen muttered,

But since Chen Shuo was a good brother in the dormitory,

Lu Chen didn't ask further questions and left with the meal card.

Chen Shuo quickly ran to the shade of the phoenix tree, but there was no trace of any vampires around.

Only familiar classmates were around, walking in groups towards the canteen.

Although Chen Shuo's vampire level was only low-ranking, he had the support of a system and possessed many skills that even high-ranking vampires didn't have.

He immediately activated the search system, and a virtual panel appeared before his eyes with a red target, scanning through the crowd,

Finally, it settled on a girl wearing a shirt and pleated skirt.

The girl had an ordinary appearance, so ordinary that she would be lost in the crowd and wouldn't attract any attention.

The more ordinary, the safer.

Chen Shuo took two steps forward, following behind the girl, and called out to her:

"Classmate, you dropped something."

There was actually nothing dropped, Chen Shuo just wanted to test her.

The girl seemed to be completely oblivious to his call. Chen Shuo walked in front of her and discovered the clue.

This girl had a plain face, vacant eyes, and no expression on her face, like a lifeless puppet without any thoughts of her own.

Chen Shuo immediately understood that this girl was just an ordinary university student and not a vampire.

However, she was under the control of a vampire's "Mind Control Technique," her mind being manipulated. In her current state, she would only follow the vampire's instructions and become a puppet for the vampire, devoid of any thoughts of her own.

Could it be that there were high-ranking vampires lurking nearby?

Chen Shuo glanced around, but there was nothing unusual.

Vampires generally wouldn't come out and act during broad daylight when the sun was shining,

Sunlight would weaken a vampire's abilities,

In addition, there were many demon hunters hidden among the ordinary people in Su City, severely limiting the vampire's living space.

Even powerful high-ranking vampires wouldn't risk appearing in broad daylight.

Therefore, high-ranking vampires usually used the Mind Control Technique to manipulate ordinary humans with weak willpower to help them accomplish certain tasks.

The Mind Control Technique was an advanced skill belonging to vampires and could only be used by high-ranking vampires.

Could it be that Nanli University was the target of high-ranking vampires?

Chen Shuo's first thought was of Su Xiyan, but Su Xiyan had hidden her identity very well! Currently, the only person in Nanli University who knew Su Xiyan's identity as a demon hunter should be Chen Shuo alone.

Could it be... the target is myself?

But that's impossible! Why would someone of the same kind be targeting me? Plus, I'm just a small, transparent, newbie vampire!

To understand the situation, Chen Shuo followed closely behind the girl who was under the influence of the Mind Control Technique, wanting to see where she was headed.

The girl was wearing a pleated skirt, and a strange thought came to Chen Shuo's mind: What would it look like if Su Xiyan wore this pleated skirt?

Imagining Su Xiyan's long legs paired with the pleated skirt, Chen Shuo couldn't help but smile.

Hehehe~~~

If he ever had the chance to turn the tables and become the master, he would definitely make Su Xiyan wear the pleated skirt and call him "Daddy."

Lost in his wild thoughts, the girl under the influence of the Mind Control Technique entered the school's experimental building.

The first floor of the experimental building housed various equipment, and several rooms were equipment storage rooms.

After class, hardly anyone went to the equipment storage rooms.

The girl walked into one of the rooms, stopped in her tracks, and had a vacant look in her eyes, like a statue.

Once the mind control is lifted, the person being controlled falls into a sleep-like state, and the memories during the control period are completely blank, unable to be recalled.

Chen Shuo wanted to know who the high-level vampire behind the scenes was.

Regarding this, Chen Shuo had his own thoughts. Once he released her from the mind control, the high-level vampire behind her would definitely not sit still and would take action.

Once exposed, the Demon Hunter organization in Su City would surely notice.

Then he would find a way to let Su Xiyan hunt her down. If Su Xiyan won, she would earn points and accelerate her promotion to become a legendary Demon Hunter. This would give Chen Shuo a great opportunity to reverse his bloodline and return to being human.

If Su Xiyan lost... well, at least there would be no one using her life as leverage to make him do cleaning chores anymore.

Chen Shuo's system became ineffective in front of Su Xiyan, which was absolutely fatal to him!

Thinking like this, Chen Shuo felt that he had become somewhat wicked.

However, when it came to interests and survival, he had no choice.

At most, after Su Xiyan turned cold, he would offer her incense.

If that didn't work, he would just buy her a few more apples as offerings. Her taste in apples was really bad.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuo raised his hand and gently placed his palm on the girl's head, preparing to release her from the mind control.

At that moment, a chill filled the air from behind!

Chen Shuo instinctively dodged!

Turning around, he saw a face so cold that it sent shivers down his spine.

It was Su Xiyan?!

The lighting in the equipment storage room was dim, adding a touch of misty beauty to Su Xiyan's face.

Her voice was even colder than her expression:

"What a touching scene of kindred spirits."

Chen Shuo quickly shook his hands and said, "No, you've misunderstood."

Su Xiyan snorted coldly:

"Seeing is believing. What's there to misunderstand?"

"Now I'll give you two choices,"

"First: Kill her."

Chen Shuo hurriedly asked, "And the second choice?"

"Second, I kill you."

Chen Shuo: "..."

Su Xiyan had lost her patience. She clenched her palm in the air, and the Demon Hunting Crossbow soared into the sky.

"I'll count to three," she said.

Chen Shuo tried to explain, "It's not like that. Listen to my explanation... Oh no, listen to me explain."

"If you don't listen to my explanation, it means you have a personal grudge against her. You're jealous! A woman only gets this angry when she's very jealous."

Su Xiyan straightened her back and raised her voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Keep talking nonsense, and I'll rip your mouth apart!"

Chen Shuo seized the opportunity to explain,

"She's not one of my kind, just an ordinary human manipulated by a high-level vampire using the Mind Control Technique."

Su Xiyan soulfully questioned, "Then why did you place your hand on her head just now?"

Chen Shuo replied, "She was under the influence of the Mind Control Technique, and I was only trying to find a way to break the spell."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Shuo realized he had misspoken!

A grave mistake!

The Mind Control Technique is a skill used only by high-level vampires. Similarly, only a high-level vampire can break the spell.

Chen Shuo was merely a low-level vampire. How could he break the Mind Control Technique?

Indeed, Su Xiyan, with her sharp wits, discovered this astonishing bug.

She asked slowly, "Chen Shuo, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"
