Chapter 45: Dark Conspiracy
It wasn’t until Lucasta got home that she dared to hold her stomach and laugh so hard. She had to admit that Samson dressed as a girl looked very similar, very beautiful.
Maybe because his body is already beautiful, whether he is a boy or a girl, he always attracts all eyes even though his face is covered by a mask and a wide-brimmed hat.
– Isn’t it because I’m worried about you? Don’t laugh anymore, I’ve never stooped so low as to do something like this.
Samson is a bit uncomfortable when he turns himself into a girl. Although he became a vampire due to the curse of Apollo, he was previously a young master of a prominent noble family, so doing this to him was like being humiliated. But for her, he accepted to ignore his own feelings.
– I’m sorry. Samson, do you think I’m causing trouble for you? Lucasta bowed her head because she realized she was wrong when she laughed at her brother.
– Go take a shower, I’ll make fried noodles for you today.
Samson said, then quickly carried the wig into the room and took off the female outfit that was hanging on his body.
Today, he did not detect anyone suspicious on the bus or on the road they passed.
However, he believes that because of yesterday’s shocking accident, the perpetrator temporarily stopped and remained silent to observe the situation.
Dinner took place in a quiet atmosphere that made Lucasta feel unfamiliar. She really wanted to open her mouth to talk to Samson, but the look on his face was not good, so she remained silent and ate as quickly as possible.
As usual, she was the one to wash the dishes after the meal. Samson stopped hanging around her and turned on the TV, updating the day’s news.
– Bring your pillow to sleep with me. – He spoke as soon as he saw that chubby figure passing by, preparing to enter the room.
Although Lucasta was a bit surprised, she still obeyed and did as her brother said.
The news of suspicions about bloodthirsty creatures broadcast from the police made her very afraid every time night fell, but fortunately, he spoke first.
Last night, because she was so busy thinking about the accident and the poisoning, she forgot there was something scarier, which was the vampires with long fangs and red eyes.
The moment Lucasta hugged her pillow and blanket and left her room, Samson also turned off the TV, turned off the light, and followed her.
Even though she had him by her side, she still felt cold when she suddenly looked towards the window covered with a white curtain.
Unless she can lie comfortably in his arms, the feeling of security will spread and help her sleep well.
Hearing the sound of steady breathing, Lucasta guessed that Samson was asleep so she gently turned to look at his picturesque face.
Does he understand the mixed emotions inside her right now? She was touched by the sacrifices he made for her but at the same time felt sad for the sinful feelings she had for him.
– Why don’t you sleep? Samson suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
– I… I’m thinking about the weekend. – She hesitantly replied.
Samson quickly remembered the plan to expose Calantha’s boyfriend that Lucasta had told him a few days ago.
He couldn’t let many people know that she was harmed by someone when the person behind it was still an ambiguous shadow.
Furthermore, he also did not want Lucasta to break her promise to Calantha because that girl was her first good friend when she returned to integrate into the human world.
– You just go there, I will quietly follow and protect you. – He reached out and touched the tip of her nose.
– Do you feel I’m causing trouble for you? Lucasta repeated the previous question.
– No. Someone caused trouble for you and me. You are not at fault.
A smile appeared on the corner of her pink lips as soon as she received his answer.
They kept their eyes open and looked at each other for a long time and then gradually fell asleep, unaware that somewhere in the city, someone was still awake planning to target them.
After the sound of smoking, white smoke flew from the man’s lips into space. His face, which was always frowning, suddenly relaxed and showed satisfaction.
Images stolen from traffic cameras proved that the person who saved Lucasta was no ordinary human because of the speed and strength he possessed.
– Have you dealt with the woman and the child yet?
– Done, sir.
– I still need to confirm again before making a decision to change plans. Let’s continue to follow her and cause another incident.
– Yes, I get it.
The night gets darker and darker and the morning gradually comes, bringing a sense of safety to everyone.
Today, Samson no longer disguised himself, he hired a taxi and went to the company with Lucasta.
This change took Michael a long time because he kept waiting at the bus stop but didn’t see them anywhere.
It wasn’t until it was time for office hours that he helplessly turned the car back to headquarters.
Unfortunately for Samson, the taxi taking him back suddenly blew a tire on a deserted road and almost lost control.
Fortunately, the driver was experienced so there was no accident.
Seeing his tall, outstanding figure and familiar sun-protective clothing on the side of the road, Michael immediately stopped the car and got out to ask about the situation.
After the driver explained, Michael immediately helped him call for rescue and offered to take Samson home.
Samson knew he shouldn’t wander around outside for too long, so he reluctantly nodded and followed Michael into the car.
He needed to drink blood to replenish the amount of blood drawn before the feeling of dizziness and pain set in.
During the whole journey, no one said a word to anyone. The car drove to a small alley and stopped according to Samson’s words.
– Thank you for giving me a ride. Did I make you late for your work? Samson turned to the person next to him and expressed his gratitude.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
– No, I’m still working. Run rambling on the road to detect suspicious people.
After saying that, Michael immediately unlocked the car door for Samson to get out of the car.
It was now eight-thirty, the sunlight was quite harsh and a very good opportunity to confirm Michael’s suspicions.
But Samson was dressed too discreetly and Michael could not see Samson’s skin to see if it was blistered or not.
If he really is a vampire, the UV rays that penetrate through that layer of clothing will still cause him serious effects.
– I’m allergic to garlic so I can’t bring it along, I’ve missed my chance.
He muttered and turned the car around, running straight to the police station.
Being an atheist, he didn’t bring a cross with him, but tonight, he had to ask Peter for one.
The car was running when the phone rang and the screen clearly displayed Bevis’s name.
– I’m listening.
– Captain, people living at the foot of Demon Mountain discovered two corpses, a woman and a child.
– Okay, you and everyone else go there first, I’ll go there right now.
The car quickly turned around, leaving an arc-shaped white streak on the main road.
Michael drove the car out onto the highway, the clock showing the speed increasing.
The intuition of a police officer with sharp judgment told him that the two victims were the two people Lucasta had led across the street.
When Michael arrived, his teammates were also present. Local police quickly moved aside to make way for the special police team to enter the crime scene area, which was cordoned off for protection.
And just like what the elite police officer was worried about, the two bodies were those two people. However, what shocked him was the two bite marks on their necks.
– How’s it going? – He asked as soon as the forensic doctor stood up after a long examination.
– The two victims died fifteen hours ago. The cause of death was injuries to the head and limbs from falling from that height. The forensic doctor said as he took off his gloves.
– What about the bite mark?
– It was not the direct cause of their death even though a large amount of blood flowed from here.
Michael’s lips began to bleed from the bite he self-inflicted. The driver’s death was his own doing, but these two people were definitely harmed by someone else.
Coincidentally, they were the two people Lucasta led across the street and when she turned back, she almost lost her life.
Could it be that the man next to her did it for revenge?
– Captain, do you think the culprit is the one responsible for a series of disappearances in recent years? Bevis leaned into Michael’s ear and asked.
– They didn’t reveal any traces before, so why are they so careless now?
– Perhaps these two people tried to escape and fell from above. But what is the cause of the bite mark on their neck? If the perpetrator is that creature, they will easily rush down and destroy everything. Don’t they have eyes that see through the dark and fly like birds?
– If you ask me, who should I ask? It’s also possible that he is deliberately challenging us. Michael pointed his finger at his head and walked out to the car.
Bevis understood Michael’s meaning, so he quickly told his teammates to wrap up the two bodies and bring them back to the city, first to find their identities and then to see if any clues could be discovered on their bodies.
The distance to the city was quite far, but it didn’t seem enough for Michael to have time to think.
The assumption that the guy brought them here and killed them is not very logical when he is still living leisurely in the city.
Furthermore, that guy knew that the police were also present when Lucasta helped those two people. If something happened to them, he would be the number one suspect.
While approaching the police station, Michael took the phone and called the church at the foot of Dragon Mountain, asking the priest to send someone to bring Peter here to help the police verify whether the toothmark belonged to a human or a vampire.
Receiving news from him, the leader of the vampire hunter group quickly arrived.
After a long observation, he came to the conclusion that it was a vampire’s fang mark because no matter how pointed and sharp human teeth were, they could not cause that wound.
– Do vampires have fingerprints? Michael turned to Peter and asked after ordering his subordinates to collect fingerprints on the victim’s body.
– Of course, there is, their body structure is not much different from ours. I mean they are just different from us when they show their true form, with fur and fingernails, long toenails, sharp fangs, and red eyes. But… do you think they will hold out their hands for you to collect fingerprints? The hunter squinted his eyes and looked at Michael.
– If they are hiding in the city as civilians, I will definitely be able to catch them. Fingerprints are stored on the national resident database system. Unless they are illegal immigrants.
Michael was talking about Samson but how could Peter understand that?
Therefore, the hunter was bewildered because he thought that vampires moved like clouds and wind, no one could control them and they did not need identification papers.
