But she didn't act on her own initiative. Instead, she looked at her younger brother, reminding him that the task was to be carried out together and that she couldn't be too self-centered.

After a moment's thought, Lu Jun said, "I can take it. I know where the breakthrough is. It won't be a waste of time, and it's very cost-effective."

"Okay!" Lu Mei trusted her younger brother and immediately accepted the task.

As the two walked out of the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency, she asked, "Where to next? The police station?"

"I'm going to someone's house. Go find Ding Yumian and ask her something about vampires."

Lu Jun made arrangements calmly and deliberately. Knowing the script, he didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Chapter 154 Twin Sisters

The siblings split up into two groups.

Lu Mei didn't ask why she was looking for Ding Yumian, believing that Lu Jun had his own reasons, just like when Bo City dealt with the Black Vatican.

Meanwhile, Lu Jun went to the police station to search for the address of a pair of beautiful twin sisters named Liu Xian and Liu Ru, who were both ordinary people.

The reason for seeking out these two individuals is that they are both clearly being targeted by vampires, making them a rare point of entry.

The elder sister, Liu Xian, was brutally murdered four months later, while the younger sister Liu Ru, transformed into a vampire six months later.

Fortunately, Mo Fan, who was searching for vampires, discovered this in time, preventing Liu Ru from being injected with the vampire's source blood and becoming a direct descendant of the vampire family, which was essentially a slave of the vampire elders.

But if we're talking about saving anything, there's nothing to save. The real problem remains unresolved and deeply rooted, meaning that young and beautiful women will continue to be targeted and harmed in the future.

Liu Ru, an ordinary girl who longed for a peaceful life, was transformed into the vampire she hated most.

The only consolation is that Liu Ru absorbed the source blood from Mo Fan. It's one thing that this guy is lecherous, but at least he's not a disgusting, scumbag creature like a vampire.

Of course, Lu Jun took this job not only because it was convenient, but also because he was very interested in vampires.

Regardless of Liu Ru's powerful bloodline performance, comparable to the First Generation Vampire of vampires, after absorbing the Demon Blood, or the fact that the vampire patriarch Bora, who slumbered in the Parthenon Temple, claimed that vampires were servants of demons.

All of this highlights the strong connection between this creature and the Demon Element.

He planned to study the power of vampires as one of the catalysts for Curse Element Curse Substance.

There are many Curse Mage bear the curse of the vampires. Their improvement lies in their strong physique and vitality, and occasionally in the manipulation of dark shadows and the charm of Psionic Energy. All of these aspects are in line with Lu Jun's system.

If absorbed by his Curse Element and elevated to a high level, comparable to Soul Seed, it would be another trump card no weaker than a high-level Water Element weapon.

Most importantly, Lu Jun wanted to use this as a springboard to try and master the power of demons.

The side effects of the Demon Element were too great; he was unwilling to undergo awakening.

However, he also discovered another problem: the inherent Innate Dual Elements makes it difficult to fully utilize the power of multiple elements. The best solution, in fact, is the Demon Element, which combines and sublimates all Magic System, making it even more sophisticated than Fusion Magic.

Lu Jun pondered whether, given the unique characteristics of the Curse Element, there was a possibility of absorbing the power of demons and becoming the first mage in history to bear a demonic curse.

To master explosive growth potential in a less costly and more controllable way.

Of course, Lu Jun was mentally prepared to be far inferior to the original Demon Element, but he was satisfied with being able to fight Intermediate Level -Intermediate Level commanders and high-level humans with a small burst of power, even if it meant fighting high-level humans and Super Rank humans.

"There's no harm in trying. The Curse Element a guaranteed path to vampires, or it can accommodate the curses of the Ancient King, the Pharaoh, and the Well of the Divine Wood Well."

Lu Jun murmured to himself, among the six elements, if asked which element he had the greatest expectations for, it wasn't the current top-ranked Water Element, or even the Metal Element, but the inconspicuous [Curse Element]!

Water Element and Metal Element: I'm devastated! My backup plan turned out to be me!

Even if other Magic System are cultivated to their peak, one is still human, at most reaching the level of Leader Hua and the Ancient King in their lifetime; defeating a Lesser Emperor is the limit.

The potential of the Curse Element is too high, with Curse Body Borrowing Technique and all sorts of bizarre Curse Substance.

He knew the future trend and that only by becoming inhuman could he transcend his limits and protect himself.

Lu Jun was familiar with all kinds of Magic System and discovered that the four systems of Dark Magic were the easiest to access non-human things. Other non-human techniques, such as Parthenon and the Holy City, were not something he could covet.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Black Magic originates from the Dark Plane, or more accurately, the [Dark King]!"

Thinking of this, Lu Jun shook his head. The only being incomprehensible in the original work was the Dark King. His expressiveness was simply awe-inspiring. Even the top Emperor-level in the entire law were merely toys in front of him.

He quickly came to his senses, and based on the information he provided, the police located the home of the Liu sisters Liu Xian Liu Ru, within minutes.

This is because Lu Jun, as a high-level Demon Hunter and a legitimate partner of the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency, is able to access the information of ordinary people.

He got the address and rushed to their house without stopping.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Jun arrived at an old street and saw an exquisite house.

The building has two floors, with accommodation and shops connected on the first floor.

The second floor is planted with many flowers, some of which are covered in ivy, adding a touch of color to this old house. It must be quite comfortable to live here...

There's a small courtyard behind it, with some grape trellises, the drooping branches swaying gently in the breeze.

Boom!

Lu Jun knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone home?"

"Oh, yes, hello, you are...?"

A short while later, a rather pretty girl opened the door. She had a polite smile on her face, but her eyes sparkled with youthful energy.

When she saw Lu Jun's cold and rugged appearance, his black and gold trench coat, and his imposing aura, she was slightly taken aback and thought to herself, "He's kind of handsome."

Liu Ru originally thought that her sister's boyfriend Nie Dong, was handsome enough, and could be called a top-tier handsome man, but compared to Lu Jun, he lacked charisma and presence.

Just as she was lost in thought, her older sister's sharp voice came from inside the house behind her. "Aru, who's coming to the door? What are you doing standing there?"

As they were talking, a girl with the exact same appearance and figure walked over, the difference being that she was dressed boldly, alluringly, and exuded a mature, sophisticated aura.

When Liu Xian, the older sister, saw Lu Jun, she was also stunned for a moment before asking in a gentle tone, "Who are you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Jun sized up the two sisters and could easily distinguish between the older and younger sister.

He openly displayed his credentials and said calmly, "I am a senior Demon Hunter from the Demon Hunter Alliance. I have a few murder cases to inquire about, including one involving your boyfriend, Nie Dong."

Upon hearing about the murder, Liu Ru, the younger sister, appeared visibly frightened.

The older sister, Liu Xian, reacted much more strangely, her face showing great surprise.

Suddenly, she turned cold towards Lu Jun, pushing him away and saying, "Go away, we two sisters will behave ourselves. The murder case has nothing to do with us."

Bang!

Before he could speak, the door slammed shut, and his sister Liu Xian's muffled voice came from inside. "Leave. You're not welcome here."

Seeing this, Lu Jun remained calm, as if he had not expected it.

This behavior is clearly suspicious!

His main tactic is to stir up trouble and alert the enemy.

"It seems the two sisters have been in contact with the vampire Nie Dong for quite some time."

Lu Jun thought to himself, recalling the original work, he had various memories. Liu Xian died four months later, but she had been with Nie Dong for some time.

However, Nie Dong was violent and couldn't control his bloodlust. During one of his attempts to suck blood, he accidentally drained Liu Xian dry, thus exposing his true colors.

Then, because it angered the Demon Hunting Alliance, Nie Dong's vampire family expelled it from the family, and it was caught and killed by Mo Fan.

Chapter 155 Ding Yumian's Identity?

After being turned away, Lu Jun shook his head and did not get angry.

He didn't care about the two sisters' attitude. He Mind Element to search his memories and had already seen through Nie Dong's vampire family's lair.

Unsurprisingly, it was in an entertainment venue called [North Country Club] not far away.

Coincidentally, according to the police files he retrieved and the distribution of crime scenes, there were no cases of beautiful women disappearing near the North Country Club.

This precisely illustrates the point: rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows; it's an instinctive form of caution.

He came to see the two sisters out of kindness, and simply offered to protect them as a favor.

Finally, Lu Jun temporarily left the residence and hid nearby to observe Ranged Combat.

At that moment, the two sisters inside the door started arguing.

The younger sister, Liu Ru, is kind-hearted but not foolish. From Lu Jun's questions upon arriving at the door and his identity Demon Hunter, she began to suspect her older sister's boyfriend Nie Dong.

In addition, my sister's recent behavior has been very abnormal. She goes out every night in the middle of the night, and she has met that boyfriend of Nie Dong. She has a very bad feeling about him; he's creepy. Moreover...

Liu Ru couldn't help but say, "Sis! Do you know that your boyfriend looks at me with strange eyes every day?"

"This..." Liu Xian, the older sister, was taken aback and hesitated, "Brother Dong probably didn't mean anything by it, right?"

What do you think?

"Sigh!" Liu Xian said impatiently, "Anyway, mind your own business. I'll go tell Dong Ge why the mage from the Demon Hunting Alliance has come looking for us."

Upon hearing this, her younger sister Liu Ru, felt discouraged.

Outside, Lu Jun's eyes shone with a clear, radiant light, and faint ripples spread from the Star Chart beneath his feet. He used the Intermediate Level [Mind Ripple - Mental Detection] technique, which, like a god's-eye view, allowed him to absorb the two sisters' words into his mind.

He couldn't help but ponder, deciding to wait for Nie Dong to come to this place and catch him.

However, the vampire's shadow magic was so advanced that even Mo Fan, a Shadow Element Mage, failed to detect it multiple times right under his nose in the original story, which led to Liu Ru's tragic death.

That sense of powerlessness highlights the terrifying nature of vampires, this anomaly.

Fortunately, Lu Jun's Mind Element allow him to survey his surroundings and accurately pinpoint his target.

Just as he was preparing to quietly stake out the location, his communicator suddenly rang. Seeing that it was his sister Lu Mei, calling, he raised an eyebrow. Seeing that it was still early, he answered the call.

The voice that came from the other end of the phone was Ding Yumian's gentle and calm tone. "Hello, is this Lu Jun? What do you want to know about vampires?"

Lu Jun couldn't help but recall that when he dug into his memories, he discovered many suspicious points in the vampire incident, which vaguely pointed to Ding Yumian of Mingzhu.

First, during a discussion among Nie Dong's vampire family elders, it was revealed that Nie Dong has a younger sister in the Pearl, who seems to hold a very high position, and they were warned not to have any designs on her.

Secondly, in order to find information about vampires, Mo Fan went back to the Library to look up information and happened to run into Ding Yumian. She was very knowledgeable about vampire books and happened to be good at Shadow Element and Mind Element.

The combination of the two gives the impression that Ding Yumian is a vampire.

However, Lu Jun has spent every day with her in this life and has long been spiritually connected with her. He can guarantee that Ding Yumian is a living person and has nothing to do with vampires, undead, or Strange Person.

He was simply curious about the secrets of the vampire family; with a forbidden spell guarding the pearl, how could undead Demon Beast still infiltrate it?

Lu Jun decided to trust him and asked, "I'm on a demon-hunting mission, and I've discovered that you seem to have connections with vampires."

"Hmm~, I didn't expect you to have found out so deeply." Ding Yumian was surprised, then paused and said in a calm voice, "I've been targeted by a vampire family. I originally wanted to get rid of Nie Dong, who was following me."

"But sensing that there was a Commander-level being behind it, I used my Mind Element powers to distort their perception, making them mistakenly believe that I had already completed the Blood Map Ritual and consider them one of the vampires."

"After that, I hid in the Pearl Academy and ignored it. Their memories were distorted, and as time went by, they gradually began to subconsciously ignore me, only referring to me as a female family member from the Pearl Academy."

"They'll even spontaneously fill in the blanks with all sorts of explanations for my strange behavior: why do I never show up? Is it because I'm pampered by my elders, or because I'm on a special mission in Mingzhu, etc."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was taken aback. Ignoring everything else, he immediately asked with concern, "You said you've been targeted by a vampire? When? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Yes, it's normal to encounter ghosts if you walk on the dark too often. The dark Magic City is not simple; many Demon Beast cause trouble, especially targeting women and children."

Ding Yumian snorted lightly, her expression unreadable, and said, "That was half a year ago. You were still training then, and when you came back, you didn't even ask me anything before immediately going into seclusion for half a year. What am I supposed to say?!"

Ah, well, Lu Jun was in the wrong, and awkwardly scratched his head, but at least the misunderstanding and doubt were cleared up.

But the thought of Nie Dong and his gang of ugly vampires harming those around him filled him with rage. He had originally only wanted to do a good deed and make a lot of money, but now he only wanted to tear this vampire clan apart.

It should be noted that although Ding Yumian can distort people's memories and perceptions, she is not so outrageous as to wantonly tamper with the memories of the strong.

There is only one explanation: the vampires attempted to control her through Mind Invasion, and after their magic was broken, they suffered a double backlash.

I can't imagine what Ding Yumian would do if she were an ordinary mage.

Lu Jun replied, "I will help you eliminate this threat once and for all."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Yumian sensed the suppressed Killing Intent beneath Lu Jun's calm words. Her heart warmed, and she quickly said, "Don't go alone. Wait for Sister Lu and me to come together. Commander-level aren't so easy to deal with."

Otherwise, she would not have been so conservative and yielding to the talents of the high-level Mind Element mage, as the physical destructive power of Mind Element Calamity Bringer indeed lacking, and she really couldn't defeat Commander-level.

Moreover, the Nie Family is merely a branch of the vampire clan hidden within the Magic City. If they attract the attention of other vampire clans, a siege by several Commander-level or even Super Rank being would be troublesome.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you."

Lu Jun hung up the phone. The three agreed on a meeting place. He calmly thought about it and realized that it was no wonder the Adjudication Court helpless against these dark Demon Beast.
