“This is the place. I was……” Liu Wanyue smiled awkwardly. “I was locked up here before. Since not many students played fencing and this building is too far from the classrooms, it had not been used for a long time. If you want to hide someone, this is a good place.”


  Fencing was an unpopular sport. Even students who liked it felt that the sports hub for fencing was too far and didn’t want to come here. They’d rather play at country clubs.

  Wealthy people didn’t mind spending the extra money.

  This building was rumored to be haunted too.

  Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Wanyue. “This is not the only reason, right?”


  Liu Wanyue swallowed. “That day, I was locked near the door. There is another door leading to the inside of the building. I heard some noises inside but when I walked nearer, the noise stopped. I thought I was imagining it.”


  The students that bullied her and locked her here probably wanted to scare her.

  As expected, Liu Wanyue was frightened. Luckily, a teacher walked past and released her not long after.

  “Let’s go in and take a look.” Ming Shu instantly climbed over the walls and went in.

  This place was given by the female protagonist. There was a buff!

  Su Mian followed closely behind.

  By the time Liu Wanyue regained her senses, Ming Shu and Su Mian had reached the main door and were opening the lock.

  Liu Wanyue: “.……”


  Chu Yue: “.……”
……

  The fencing arena was huge. Since no one used this place, the ground was covered with dust. There was no sign that anyone was here before.

  However, vampires could move around without walking. The dust didn’t mean anything.

  Ming Shu walked around the arena. She didn’t notice anything amiss.

  “Little Yu.”


  Su Mian waved at her from the spectator stand. Ming Shu jumped up.

  “Look over here.” Su Mian pointed at the front row of seats. “It is different from the other areas.”


  Ming Shu touched the seats. The dust here was thinner. She looked at the ground. It had been moved before.

  Chu Yue and Liu Wanyue came up too.

  “This can be moved. There should be some mechanism around here.” Chu Yue looked around them. “Split up and look for it.”


  “Oh.”


  Liu Wanyue obediently went to search for the mechanism……

  A tall, handsome man walked into the brightly lit hall.

  “Have you gotten the Phantom?”


  “No. Raisa is not willing to give it to us.”


  The man frowned. “This is troublesome.”


  The person behind replied fearfully, “Raisa can control the Phantom. When we get near her, she will activate it.”


  The man’s frown deepened. “What about Fu Yu?”


  “She killed our vampire. It probably means that she doesn’t want to trade with us.”


  “Doesn’t want to trade…… Did you act according to what I said?

  “.……”


  The vampire who was sent out was dead. How were they supposed to know this?

  The man looked back at them. The bunch of people shivered in fear. The man didn’t probe further. “Let’s look at Raisa first.”


  “Yes.”


  Raisa was locked up in a special cage. The cage was made of transparent glass and the light inside was extremely bright. It was glaring. Laser beams covered most of the cage.

  Only a small space was left for Raisa.

  Once the man appeared, Raisa’s body tensed up. She stared at the man with her bloodshot eyes.

  “Raisa Dulante.”


  The man’s voice entered the cage.

  Raisa pursed her lips. She tried to cover up her tiredness. She was badly in need of food after being trapped for such a long time.

  The man crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Raisa. “As long as you give us the Phantom, we will release you. Your father is really worried about you.”


  Raisa’s voice was hoarse. “I will not give you the Phantom.”


  Without the Phantom, she would be dead.

  These vampires……

  She didn’t know what they wanted. But she was not stupid.

  The man nodded. “Let’s make a deal. What do you want? I can fulfill whatever wish you make.”


  Raisa refused to cooperate with them.

  Her father would definitely come and save her.

  She needed to stall for time.

  Raisa felt the light around her getting brighter. She couldn’t see the person outside the cage anymore.

  The man slowly said, “Miss Raisa, don’t forget that we can get the Phantom if we kill you.”


  “No……”


  Raisa replied instinctively.

  These people forced her to give them the holy relic, but didn’t try to kill her.

  Thus, she thought that they didn’t dare to take her life.

  But now……

  The man wanted to kill her.

  Raisa felt changes in her body. The light had the same effect as sunlight……

  “What I said still holds. You can tell me what your request is. You will still be in possession of the Phantom. You only need to give it to me when I want it.

  Raisa fell to the ground slowly amidst the white light. Was she going to die?

  No…… she couldn’t just die like this.

  She tried to activate the Phantom, but there was no energy left in her body. She used the Phantom too many times. It had sucked up all her strength.

  Someone said in a worried tone, “Lord……”


  The man raised his hand. The vampire shut up.

  “I…… want Fu Yu and Liu Wanyue dead.”


  “Fine.” The man agreed immediately. “Bring Miss Raisa down to rest.”


  “Yes.”


  The lights in the cage got turned off. Raisa’s haggard figure appeared.

  A huge tremor came from above them. The lights in the room started flickering.

  “What happened?”


  “Earthquake?”


  The vibration only lasted for a few seconds. The lights stopped flickering. The vampire exchanged glances with one another.

  The man looked at the lights above him. He didn’t look good.

  The sirens rang.

  “There is an intruder!”


  Someone far away shouted. The room turned into a mess.

  “Lord, you should leave first.” The vampire ushered the man to one side. “We will bring up the rear.”


  “Bring Raisa and Tong Ye out. Destroy everything else.”


  “Yes.”


  A scream came from the front. It penetrated the man’s ears. He looked back. Someone was rushing toward them.

  “Lord, hurry up and leave……”
……

  The underground base was not below the fencing arena. When Ming Shu went down, it was just an underground room. There was nothing there.

  However, they caught a vampire guarding the place.

  Ming Shu acted quickly and stopped the vampire from committing suicide. Chu Yue used the Finder and they found this place.

  It was under the northern sports ground.

  The entrance was behind the equipment room situated beside the sports ground.

  There were many people here so if someone walked by, no one would notice anything strange.

  The northern sports ground was popular among the students. This bunch of vampires went against conventional thinking and chose somewhere with many people. A normal person wouldn’t have thought of this.
