"Sir, do you know her?"

"Yes, I talked to her before. She has her own needs and is a decent person. I can't help her, but I don't want to make things difficult for her. She just wants to be a doctor here."

As Gu Xi spoke, he and Shaya walked outside together.

As he walked out, Gu Xi also looked through information about Isabella.

This time, the intelligence that Shaya sent was much more detailed.

Just as Gu Xi had previously discussed with Isabella and guessed.

Isabella stayed behind to collect special blood that wouldn't affect her husband.

She ensured that her husband wouldn't accidentally transform from an intelligent Vampire into a cannon fodder soldier on the battlefield due to some battles.

Gu Xi could win Isabella over now, but getting her into his department or taking her to Aryadovi City would be impossible.

Others have been in this academy for so long that they already have their own base of influence.

She remained in the position of school doctor, unaffected by any changes in the college. However, if she joined Gu Xi's department and something happened to Gu Xi, she wouldn't benefit from it either.

Isabella is intelligent; how could she not know what choice to make?

The last time I saw Gu Xi, I talked to Gu Xi and helped him with his Gu Xi; that was her idea.

When Gu Xi appeared before Isabella again this time, she took the initiative to come out.

"So you're Mr. Gu. May I address you as Director Gu now?"

"No, please just call me Professor Gu. The Director Gu' sounds so awkward."

Hearing Isabella address others as "Director" always gives me the feeling of New York City's First People's Hospital.

Gu Xi was quite unaccustomed to this situation.

"Alright, Mr. Gu, did you come here this time to help treat the little girl behind you?"

Her condition is much worse than yours. The knife she carries is having a huge impact on her. You'd better tell her to find some long-term ways to nourish herself; otherwise, even a spirit wouldn't be able to withstand the daily damage.

Isabella immediately noticed Shaya's condition.

Shaya's foundation is actually not as good as Luna's.

She truly pieced it together using only her own body and some scraps of material that Gu Xi had.

If it weren't for the mutation of the materials in Gu Xi's possession, coupled with the power of the Contract Undead, Shaya might not have been able to climb out of the ground.

The most distinctive feature of the weapon "Well Dragon's Roar" is that it injures its own allies first, inflicting severe damage once a day.

They also have to suck blood from time to time.

Although it can be made up for immediately, it is still a blow to Shaya.

Over time, it will inevitably damage some fundamental aspects.

Shaya was somewhat surprised that Isabella had singled her out.

"But since you're already here, I'll naturally lend you a hand. Come in first, and I'll give you a treatment that will at least guarantee you won't have any problems for a year."

Hearing this, Gu Xi looked at Shaya.

Shaya then understood what Gu Xi meant by Isabella's social skills.

Thank you.

After Shaya finished speaking, she walked into the blood cloud.

At this moment, Gu Xi said to Isabella, "I know what you want, and I don't mean to win you over. I just wanted to ask if there's anything I can do to help."

"I want a secluded house."

Isabella made her demands.

Gu Xi looked at Isabella with some surprise; she didn't look like Vampire from the Haunted Mansion.

Perhaps sensing Gu Xi's thoughts, Isabella smiled helplessly and said, "We were originally Vampire with a haunted house vibe, but we've come out of our shells over the years and that's why we've become like this."

Gu Xi realized that the situation of Vampire in the secluded house style was quite special.

They are the kind of people who can be resurrected at any time on the battlefield.

This kind of Battlefield Resurrection is not a necromancer's method of summoning spirits.

Moreover, as long as a person is still on the battlefield, they can be quickly resurrected with the enemy's blood.

This is a very powerful method of resurrection.

But it's also a big problem.

Because so many Vampire are resurrected, they simply can't determine how they were resurrected.

If they were just soldiers, that would be one thing.

But it's different when you encounter Vampire who is intelligent.

If the resurrection system malfunctions and the person misses three chances to summon their spirit, they may truly be dead.

Isabella's husband is in this situation now.

If he were resurrected by blood again, he would probably just be an ordinary Vampire soldier.

As for resurrection through Summoning, Isabella dares not gamble on that now.

If there's a chance, that's fine; if there isn't, Isabella will really be in tears.

Upon reflection, Gu Xi couldn't help but ask, "The secluded residence is simple. I can provide both the Building Blueprint and the resources. But where do you plan to build it?"

And if you really build a secluded house, can your friend really be alright?

"No, I just wanted my husband to have a place where he could rest in peace."

Hearing Isabella's words, Gu Xi sensed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? You're not going to save them anymore?"

"I'm planning, but the hope is too slim. I don't know how much longer I can hold on."

When I was there, his body was still well preserved and wouldn't get stained with blood.

But if I'm gone, then he'll truly be gone.

Hearing Isabella's words, Gu Xi couldn't help but say something.

"How about we put your husband's body in the secret room?"

Isabella looked up at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was also taken aback for a moment. Then, looking at Isabella's expression, he finally said, "As you know, each department has its own secret room. My secret room hasn't been built yet."

Now, if I point to a place and say it's a secret room, then it can be considered one.

I can give you this opportunity, since my department will definitely be focused on necromancy in the future anyway.

The strong aura of the dead ensures that there will be no problems if a corpse is placed inside.

In addition to other methods, the goal is to prevent blood from entering the body.

Hearing this, Isabella's eyes lit up. She stared at Gu Xi for a long time before finally asking a question.

What do you want?

"Treat!"

"Okay, I'll help you."

Isabella immediately understood Gu Xi's meaning; Gu Xi had his eye on her healing abilities.

That's when he proposed a condition that he couldn't refuse.

Upon hearing Isabella's reply, Gu Xi extended his hand. "Welcome to the team. You will remain the school doctor in the academy, but you will also have another identity: the guardian of our department's secret chamber. Apart from me, only those you approve of can enter the chamber and obtain the... treasure hidden within!"

[Ding! You have persuaded an undead to join your party. The Death Lord has gained 1 experience point.]
