Chapter 2788: A Rose
The four newbies still needed training.
They were lacking in experience and were too flustered to deal with even a single vampire despite outnumbering the vampire by four-to-one.
Ning Shu kept an eye on the situation in order to intervene if anything unexpected occurred.
Ning Shu rubbed her temple. She felt exhausted.
Touro was an experienced blood hunter. The silver sword, with the spell, only heightened his abilities.
He killed the vampires with a clean stab to their heart.
It took them a while, but they finally defeated the vampires.
The four newbies sat on the ground. Their faces were pale and suddenly, they all began to vomit.
It was their first time killing. Although what they killed were vampires, they still felt very disturbed by it.
They cremated the vampires’ bodies and went back to the hotel.
When Ning Shu got to her room, she took the rose from earlier back out.
She lifted it to her nose and smelled it. There was the scent of roses, and there was even a dew drop on one of the petals.
The rose seemed like it had just been picked earlier this morning.
But how could it be? That vampire must’ve been in the ground for longer than anyone could imagine.
Yet this rose had neither withered nor rotted.
It was amazing.
It must be a treasure. Ning Shu plans to ask 2333 to stash it away.
It wouldn’t hurt to collect more treasures anyway.
“Do you know what this is?” Ning Shu asked 2333.
“No. There are too many treasures spread among the countless planes; how could I possibly know them all?” 2333 said.
Ning Shu didn’t respond. Since she had learned that 2333 had been a person, she no longer held much hope in it.
She had previously thought that 2333 was an AI with a powerful database.
So she thought 2333 would know everything.
However, now knowing that 2333 was a person, Ning Shu had become more lenient. After all, humans weren’t perfect.
They all had flaws and weaknesses.
Ning Shu had 2333 put the rose in the system space.
She lay on the bed for a while, then sat up on the bed and began to cultivate.
She felt very pressed for time. It seemed that those third-generation vampires, despite the hard hit that was God’s flood, were not dead.
They were awakening one after the other.
If they all woke up, a holy war would definitely break out.
Ning Shu was almost certain that the guy she had killed in the cemetery was a third-generation vampire.
An ordinary vampire wouldn’t be powerful enough to drain her of all her energy.
Even then, she still had to take advantage of the momentum and only barely managed to kill that vampire after fighting tooth and nail for it.
The West was so big, how was she supposed to find all the dormant third-generation vampires?
Not every vampire would be as unlucky as this one—to be greeted by Ning Shu right after they awakened.
On the flip side, nor was Ning Shu’s luck so great that she could always encounter the third-generation vampires when they were at their weakest.
Ning Shu set up a yang gathering formation and cultivated all night.
Gaining strength was the most important thing for her right now.
Early the next morning, Touro came to call Ning Shu and told her that they were to immediately return to the organization.
The organization was sorely lacking manpower. In the past, after one completed a mission, they’d be able to take a break and rest a little.
Now, they must immediately return to the organization.
Especially so this time, since they had to report what happened during this mission.
Touro drove and said somewhat speechlessly, “What kind of sh*t luck do you think we have? It’s already the second time we encountered something like this.”
Ning Shu spread her hands. “I feel like all of the vampiric activities going on right now are related to the awakenings of the third-generation vampires.”
“So as long as there’s a sign of vampire activities, it’s likely that there’s another third-generation vampire that’s about to awaken,” Ning Shu said.
Touro sighed. “A storm is coming. The peace before the storm will pass soon, and we’ll all fall into chaos again.”
