Chapter 31 Interview with the Vampire

Bai Yan felt a bit cold. Looking up at the ceiling, he realized that the air conditioner was blowing cold air straight at him.

The air conditioner was one of the greatest inventions of human civilization, but no matter how much you loved it, you shouldn’t get it too close.

He wanted to sit on the other end of the sofa, but just as he got up, a boy suddenly came and sat there right in front of him.

Without hesitation, Bai Yan went to the boy and cleaved to him so their bodies pressed against each other. The boy looked at Bai Yan with a strange look. He was so frightened that he quickly left.

Bai Yan manipulated Nightsaber to start the first level of the event.

“Interview with the Vampire.”

The pixel image displayed on the screen was the city night view. Raindrops with cheap special effects were falling down.

Nightsaber’s pixel figure came out of an alley.

“Tap, tap, tap...” with a unique sound effect, letters appeared on the screen.

“Black Star Faction destroys my family. I have long lost hope and dignity. Now revenge is everything to me.”

It was an emotionless female mechanical voice with an indifferent tone, which sounded like the voiceover in TRPG videos.

Nightsaber’s avatar was in the lower right corner of the subtitle, which represented those were her lines.

Bai Yan sat with her legs crossed. He wondered if Nightsaber would speak like this in real life.

“The Blood has always been an indispensable part of this city. They have already infiltrated all industries in the Otherworlds and the real world. I heard Marquis Scarlet has a lot of information about Black Star Faction.”

Nightsaber kept talking to herself. Bai Yan didn’t know why she had to say everything aloud.

“I must get Black Star Faction’s information from him.”

After all the subtitles ended, Nightsaber’s pixel figure walked down until she was out of the screen.

The screen dimmed slightly and switched to the next scene.

In the storm, Nightsaber arrived at a brightly lit club. There were four conspicuous guards at the front door, all in black suits and sunglasses.

“If I go straight in, I may be stopped by them and cause a conflict.” The subtitle appeared. Obviously, Nightsaber was talking to herself again.

After she finished, Bai Yan regained manipulation of her again.

It meant the plot was over. The event officially began.

Bai Yan murmured, “To be honest, since I know this game controls the world, I dare not to skip any plot.”

He knew he was unable to skip it as always, but he was fearful that his finger would touch the screen by mistake. It would be terrible to miss any vital information.

It was no longer an ordinary game. He had to play it seriously.

Bai Yan manipulated Nightsaber to step forward. The guards immediately stopped her.

A dialog box that gave options popped up on the screen.

“1. I want to talk to Marquis Scarlet on behalf of Babel Tower.”

“2. Black Star Faction’s information is very important to me.”

“3. Surrender! The Blood!”

“Before you save the game, you can explore as much as possible.”

Bai Yan played this game very carefully now. He had compared all the uploaded videos of Babel Tower with the images in his memory. After getting his thoughts down on paper, he drew two conclusions.

First, what he did in the game would only affect reality after he saved the game.

“My love...I broke my promise again. I’m late at the most important time.”

“Those who hurt you have to pay ten times the price!”

The background music was like a symphony of fate, and the anime-like cutscene appeared again.

“Marquis Scarlet of the Blood!”

The next moment, Marquis Scarlet disappeared on the spot and appeared behind Nightsaber.

A large amount of blood exploded from the ground. Nightsaber was instantly beaten into the air. The number of combos was recorded in large red fonts on the screen!

After twenty-five combos, Nightsaber fell with nearly zero HP.

“Deep Blue World.”

During the paused time, Bai Yan rapidly manipulated Nightsaber to hit Marquis Scarlet a few times, then immediately pulled away.

Marquis Scarlet was in the state of super armor. It was meaningless to launch slight attacks on him.

He stood there and stretched out a hand to aim at Nightsaber.

“Taste my anger!”

Nightsaber’s pixel figure trembled on the spot. Then she was sucked away by an invisible force. Her body turned to sprays of spurting blood in mid-air!

“Don’t forget me...”

The screen gradually darkened.

“Save or New Game?”

Bai Yan rolled over on the sofa, falling into deep thought.

“Well, I probably get to know Marquis Scarlet’s level.”

It was impossible to succeed in defeating Marquis Scarlet at this stage. He needed to think more about how to get the information.

“New Game.”

Next, the scene returned to the front door of the club. A rain drenched Nightsaber calmly looked at the four guards in black suits.

Bai Yan manipulated Nightsaber to step forward, and a dialog box popped up.

“1. I want to talk to Marquis Scarlet on behalf of Babel Tower.”

“2. Black Star Faction’s information is very important to me.”

“3. Surrender! The Blood!”

Finally, he didn’t choose any of them but manipulated Nightsaber to take a step back.

“Let me do it in my own way.”

Nightsaber used Merlin’s Cloak to transform into an invisible bird. She flew to the back of the club and got in through the window.

Soon, she came to the auction.

No one noticed the bird. When Nightsaber was close to others, what she overheard would occur on the screen.

“Books of magic this time are all worthless. There is only basic knowledge.”

“Last time, I got a volume about the history of other worlds.”

“Do you think Babel Tower and Black Star are enemies?”

“Today’s bloodpuccino is a bit weak.”

In no time, Bai Yan found the pixel figure of Mililyn. She was drinking alone by the window. He immediately manipulated the bird Nightsaber to fly over.

“Scarlet, why aren’t you here?”

Mililyn had the wine with a cold expression, looking very upset.
