Twisted Dreams-Chapter 302 - 371: The Underground Castle

The pitch-black night, like a cloth dyed with thick ink, tightly envelops the entire world.

Bean-sized raindrops pound the ground, splashing countless water droplets.

The tombstones in the North City Suburban Cemetery loom in the darkness like fingers reaching from Hell, longing for the worldly splendor.

The rain falls heavier and heavier, flowing down the tombstones, forming tiny waterfalls.

Few people come to worship here anymore, as if it’s a forgotten corner of the world.

The wind howls, the deceased are whispering complaints.

Two figures dart across the sky.

The Red-coated elder arrives here holding the Honey Slaughter Blade.

The Honey Slaughter Blade looks around in horror:

"Why, why did you bring me here!"

She’s afraid.

What does a vampire intend to do, bringing her to the cemetery in the middle of the night?

The Red-coated elder says:

"Keep going."

The Honey Slaughter Blade’s heart pounds furiously, enduring fear as she is escorted by the Red-coated elder, moving forward.

In the depths of the North City Suburban Cemetery, there are two storeys of a small building, resembling a haunted house in the rainy night cemetery.

This is the Tomb Guardian’s dwelling.

The Red-coated elder leads the Honey Slaughter Blade into the building.

Dressed in a red jacket and black leather pants, Lilith waits here early on.

Upon seeing Lilith, the Red-coated elder respectfully says:

"Mother, I’ve brought the person."

The Honey Slaughter Blade shows shock in her eyes.

This Red-coated elder actually calls the young foreign woman "Mother"?

What kind of address is this?

It’s impossible for the Honey Slaughter Blade to believe that the foreign woman is the Red-coated elder’s mother in the biological sense.

Hmm... perhaps.

The elder is a vampire, who knows how the family hierarchy of such Extraordinary Races works?

Lilith coldly says:

"Wait here, I’m taking her to the City of Eternal Night."

The Red-coated elder couldn’t help but ask:

"Mother, that person in the city, who exactly is he?

Why do you respect him so much?"

The City of Eternal Night is the headquarters for their Blood Race, a kingdom belonging to vampires.

Why did that man make him, the majestic Baron Tulip, become a gatekeeper after he arrived?

Lilith coldly says:

"Speak again, and I will leave you under the blazing sun."

The Red-coated elder quickly apologizes:

"I understand, Mother."

Lilith leads the Honey Slaughter Blade towards the basement.

In the basement, there’s a stone platform, Lilith places her hand on it.

Sharp silver spikes cut Lilith’s hand.

A black door formed by Extraordinary Power suddenly appears.

This is a door created by vampire Dark Magic.

Only blood is the key to this door.

...

The light is dim, wall sconces line the walls.

Stone walls and ceilings are engraved with exquisite patterns.

A huge chandelier hangs like a giant column, suspended between this floor and the ones below.

This building is underground, from the first floor looking down, the depth is unfathomable, only endless spiral stairs and adjacent floor scenes are visible.

This is an underground, inverted castle!

Under the light, one can see the main wall adorned with a black scythe design.

This is the City of Eternal Night, the black scythe is the Eternal Night Castle’s totem.

Implying, the Eternal Night Castle is always the scythe reaping lives for the Death God.

In the City of Eternal Night, vampires don’t see sunlight, so here, vampires can exercise their strongest power.

The floor located in the center is different in structure from other floors, there is only one room there.

In this room, apart from vampires and vampire Blood Servants, no one else can set foot.

Because, this is the dwelling prepared by the Vampire Prince for his master.

Inside the room, Li Yang sits on a sofa, surrounded by several young and beautiful girls.

Their pupils are red, their skin pale, wearing fitted red silk Chinese dresses.

They are Du Yangming’s Blood Servants, without memories.

No memories mean no past, their views are entirely shaped by Du Yangming, they are maids presented to Li Yang.

In the room within the City of Eternal Night, even if Li Yang isn’t present, the Blood Servants diligently maintain cleanliness.

Li Yang’s Spiritual Power explores through the City of Eternal Night, with a peculiar nuance in his eyes.

Du Yangming’s goal is to construct an underground city.

The underground city is a haven for a killer organization, a dark world fully controlled by vampires.

Du Yangming aims to be the founding ancestors of vampires in this underground city.

It seems Du Yangming is no longer the ordinary teacher he once was, he now has his own ambition.

However, the City of Eternal Night has not been established for long, and still falls short of Du Yangming’s envisioned underground city.

Nevertheless, it already has a castle-like scale, which is quite decent.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking rings out.

...

Lilith leads the Honey Slaughter Blade into the room.

The Honey Slaughter Blade discreetly observes the place.

She is bold enough, thus her curiosity is strong.

The Honey Slaughter Blade wants to know, what kind of person holds vampires as subordinates?

Could it also be a vampire?

As for the value of this underground castle, the Honey Slaughter Blade could easily guess it’s very expensive.

Yet, for vampires with infinite lifespans, having a lot of money isn’t peculiar?

Within the room, on the sofa, sits a man.

The man wears a round hat, half his face hidden in shadow.

The Honey Slaughter Blade realizes, this man before her is tonight’s protagonist.

Even though the Baron Tulip, Lilith, and Du Yangming seen tonight are all figures of note.

But this man, is the truly significant figure.

He possesses a distinctly different aura compared to other vampires.

Those vampires have a refined aura, yet this man’s every move exudes a unique dominance.

As if... those vampires are elegant bureaucrats, while this man is the noble master of an estate.

The Honey Slaughter Blade asks, anxiety clutching her heart:

"Who, who are you?"

The Honey Slaughter Blade doesn’t use flirtations as she did with Wei Ming.

She knows, true figures of power in this world, are heartless monsters.

They can hide, even control love and desire.

These figures have interests in their eyes, occasional emotions are merely to add some joy to a mundane life.

Du Yangming takes out a drawing, stepping before the Honey Slaughter Blade.

Li Yang asks:

"Have you seen this person?"

The Honey Slaughter Blade feels a trace of curiosity.

What kind of person would make such a powerful figure go to great lengths?

She looks towards the person in the portrait.

It’s an elderly man with snow-white hair, even his eyebrows are white.

This old man is the scavenger who gave Li Yang the Desire Magic Jar.

Strangely, Li Yang clearly has this old man’s portrait, yet can’t find him.

Even with the power of the Security Bureau, there is no result.

As if, this old man vanished into thin air.

The Honey Slaughter Blade shakes her head blankly:

"I, I’ve never seen him."

Li Yang lights a cigarette, holding it between his lips:

"Think harder."

The Honey Slaughter Blade tries hard to recollect.

She’s dealt with too many clients.

Many of those clients even claimed it was their first time.

The Honey Slaughter Blade heard too many sweet words, she can’t remember her clients except those in high places.
