An invitation from the Church

Arcueid glanced at Bai Mo, who had already subdued Cathy Palug, as if possessed. Perhaps after completing his request, he would no longer be able to suppress his urge to drink blood and would eventually fall into a deep sleep.

"Hmm? Is something the matter?" Sensing Arcueid's gaze, Bai Mo walked in, only to see Arcueid somewhat awkwardly say:

"Um, Bai Mo, I want to ask you something. If you were going to die in a few days... no, I mean someone, and they were going to die in a few days, what would they do as a human?"

Looking into Bai Mo's eyes, Arcueid felt that her little schemes had been completely seen through. And indeed, Bai Mo also realized that this woman probably didn't need mind reading at all; she displayed all her emotions completely.

"That depends on whether I have anything I absolutely must accomplish. If I do, I'll do it, and dying on the road won't matter. If not, maybe I'll leisurely spend a few days like an ordinary person."

Then they paid a few men in black to stand beside my funeral, saying nothing, just watching for an entire afternoon. Finally, they had an old man get off a helicopter and throw a strange medal into my grave.

Arcueid asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's the point?"

"No, I think that would be very interesting. Maybe a lot of passersby would be attracted and then it would be discussed for a long time," Bai Mo said with a smile, his tone very relaxed, as if they were not discussing such a heavy topic as death.

Bai Mo sat on the hotel sofa, casually eating some cheap candy from the coffee table, and said, "It's like I no longer need to eat, but I still eat some food because these things give me a sense of life."

I know a strong person who was once blinded by the lust for power. But when he let go of everything and settled into a leisurely retirement, happiness returned to him. Sometimes, people should ask themselves, "What is it that I truly love?"

the next day--

At this moment, in the top-floor hotel, Altrouge Brunestud had mentally cursed the two guards countless times. She turned to the White Beast beside her and said in a somewhat conciliatory tone:

"Are you just going to stand by and watch me suffer all this? At least help me remove these chains."

"Fu! Fou." (I'll get beaten up, and I hope you won't run around either, so I don't make things difficult for me.)

"I've raised you for nothing! You ungrateful wretch! How could you betray me like this?!" Altrouge Brunestud felt grief and indignation, but after thinking about it, she could only sigh and then give up struggling, since she couldn't get out of the chains anyway.

The reason is simple: she still has the Magnetic Field Heavenly Lock left by Bai Mo on her body, and if she goes out like this, it will be troublesome if she is noticed by White Wing Duke, who is from an opposing force.

She knew all too well how many eyes were eyeing this city with predatory intent. If she found herself powerless, those enemies would stop at nothing to destroy her.

Cathy Palug was enjoying a small mountain of steak, grilled meat, and sashimi when she heard Altrouge Brunestud's words and briefly looked up.

Animals should be treated with both rewards and punishments. For Cathy Palug who completed every action command, Bai Mo had the hotel prepare a feast. At first, Cathy Palug only tentatively smelled it and took a small bite.

Watching Cathy Palug chew heartily, Altrouge Brunestud's lips twitched as she said, "So you can eat human food? Aren't you supposed to feed on jealousy and regret?"

"Fu~" (This tastes better than blood.)

"Fou ~" (Although it doesn't mean anything, I do have a sense of taste.)

"Fu? Fou ~" (And I think I'll need plenty of food if I'm with that person.)

Watching Cathy Palug select the best-grilled steak like a gourmet, Altrouge Brunestud couldn't help but think to herself: It seems even the Beast of Comparison is more humane than my sister.

Meanwhile, Bai Mo was being dragged out of the hotel by a large golden cat, looking utterly listless. There shouldn't be any Dead Apostle around during the day, so Bai Mo told Arcueid to wait and rest during the day. But for some reason, ever since that conversation last night, this sheltered princess suddenly changed her mind.

Arcueid looked around with curiosity, while Bai Mo continued to circulate the Asura Way, sensing all life around him. Seeing Bai Mo's absent-mindedness, Arcueid grabbed Bai Mo's sleeve and said:

"Bai Mo, you're daydreaming again."

"Didn't you say you were worried that Roa might have changed due to the Magnetic Field Power, so you went out during the day to look for clues? I'm working hard right now."

Bai Mo's somewhat helpless words left Arcueid at a loss, and she scratched her head, saying, "But we can't just stand here like this forever."

"Just stand still, I can sense the entire city."

Arcueid looked unhappy but didn't know what to do. Bai Mo sighed and said, "So it turns out you just wanted to come out and have fun, didn't you?"

Arcueid was somewhat embarrassed and angry that her thoughts had been exposed. As mentioned before, Arcueid's thoughts were written all over her face, and her eyes kept darting around the shops since she came in.

Suddenly, a pair of cat ears appeared on her head, instantly drawing Bai Mo's attention.

When did this thing appear? This means she seems to have met both of the conditions Zelretch mentioned.

Arcueid bared his shark teeth and said somewhat willfully, "I did consider it carefully. I was worried you were overexerted and wanted you to rest and recover. Bai Mo is bullying me!"

"I'm ignoring you." Arcueid turned and walked away, making Bai Mo feel more like a cat, unpredictable and capricious.

"That's a children's playground over there."

Seeing Arcueid head towards the amusement park full of plastic balls, Bai Mo could only call her back. Even though Arcueid seemed completely harmless at the moment, the mere thought of letting a vampire go there was enough to make a big deal out of it.

Seeing the big cat throwing a tantrum beside her, Bai Mo had no choice but to find a place to settle her down. At this moment, Bai Mo recalled a famous quote from the renowned director Takeshi Kitano.

Women are like that; just take them to the movie theater.

So the two arrived at the movie theater entrance, Arcueid was clearly unhappy with the choice. Bai Mo sighed and said, "Alright, behave yourselves."

Sitting in the theater chair, Arcueid surprisingly seemed to have really calmed down.

Roa's situation is rather unique; it only manifests when someone reaches a certain age, allowing it to suppress their will. According to Arcueid's intelligence, Roa is currently likely in a semi-awakened state.

Originally, he could have sensed them directly through Magnetic Field Power, but most of the people in this city had been placed under Magic Crest with magnetic field effects, forcing Bai Mo to use the Asura Way to search for them one by one.

This was a huge workload, but Bai Mo worked tirelessly on it. It involved many people, and no matter how much effort he put in, it was all worthwhile.

Two hours flew by, the lights came on as the credits rolled, Arcueid, like a filmmaker looking at the final thank-you list, reached out and shouted, "That was so much fun!"

"Even though there's no one here, this is a public place."

Bai Mo opened her eyes and looked at Arcueid, who was in a great mood beside her, and asked with some doubt, "Are you that happy?"

"Yes, of course. Although I was given modern knowledge and know how the plot unfolds, seeing it in person is completely different!" Arcueid's sunny smile made people almost forget that she was a vampire.

Bai Mo raised an eyebrow and said in a strange tone, "Are you also omniscient?"

"I don't reach that level; I only have some knowledge about this world. But the actual experience is completely different. Why?"

Watching Bai Mo massage the trigeminal nerve, Arcueid asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, I just happened to think of someone who looks a bit like you."

Arcueid didn't think much of it and excitedly pulled Bai Mo to watch the next show, but Bai Mo didn't move because a little nun peeked out from not far away and waved to Bai Mo.

"Mr. Righteous Man, the Church hopes you can come over. After I reported your situation, they seem to want to discuss information about Roa and the special power he possessed during his last reincarnation with you."
