“Why should we go just because you want us to?” Philip gripped the sword in his hand and asked. Everyone looked at Philip in surprise, including the vampire. “No more fighting. I’ve had enough blood,” the vampire said. “You realize you can't beat us, but I'm just getting started,” Philip narrowed his eyes and said with a smile. The others could hardly hold their weapons steadily now, and the beast tamer even sat down on the ground, thinking, ‘Stop fooling around. You’re the only one who can still fight now.’ The vampire was a little panicked. The others posed no threat at all, but the person in front of him was unfathomable. Right from the start, he did not even see Philip panting. “My friend, please let us go.” The vampire retreated to the coffin. “You killed so many people. How can I just let you go?” Philip approached the vampire, and the smile on his face made the vampire even more uncertain. He suddenly turned around and hugged the female corpse. He said, “Ma
Hans said, “This was the thing that originated here. We’re simply occupying this place. After they left, I came here with Marie's body. “Something escaped from here and caused a catastrophe.” Hans pointed to the black blood stains and the claw marks on the reinforced metal on the side. Philip looked around, but there was nothing here except some broken bones and pieces of equipment. “Are there other places?” “Yes.” Hans continued to lead the way. They walked to another door and down a staircase, which was bottomless as if the bottom had been hollowed out. Soon, the vampire brought Philip to other places and said, “This place was used to store chemicals. Not long after we arrived, we heard that someone came and took everything away overnight.” The three of them came to the dormitory area on the first floor. Some daily necessities were scattered around, and it seemed that there was an emergency evacuation. Philip found a diary on a table and flipped through it. [April
The vampire took Philip back to the first hall.The others did not leave and sat there quietly waiting for Philip to return.Philip briefly explained the situation to everyone.The hooded girl with a gun came forward and took off her hood. She took out a journalist badge from her pocket and said, “I’m a reporter from the Pioneer Daily of the fifth continent. I heard rumors that there are biochemical weapons here, so I came to investigate. I hope you can cooperate with me.”Hearing that Philip had burned all the bones into ashes, the oval-faced girl said with a complicated expression, “Although you did the right thing, it's a pity that some evidence of their atrocities is gone.”Philip did not speak but took out a large portion of the personal belongings of those corpses from the storage ring. He handed them over and said, “Are these enough?”After that, Philip handed over the diary too.Philip did not hand over certain things such as the work ID.Seeing that Philip got so many
After saying that, he left in a flash, leaving the woman standing there in the wind. That made her angry. She stomped her foot on the spot and shouted, “Don't let me see you again!” Philip returned to the old residential area by memory. He saw a group of people gathered outside, and Jack was arguing with a few well-dressed people next to the two huge demolition machines. Pushing through the crowd, Philip walked up to Jack, who was screaming, “You can't just destroy our house like this!” “What’s going on?” Philip asked. “Philip, you're back!” Jack just noticed that Philip was beside him and said excitedly with his eyes wide open. Then, he pointed to the machines in front of him and said, “They want to demolish this residential building today.” A man with a scar on his face in the lead shouted, “Don’t put words into our mouths! We informed you one week ago!” “Well, you want to get our land for nothing without giving us any compensation. You must be dreaming!” “Dream o
Philip grabbed the man and landed slowly on the ground. At this time, Scarface was devoid of his previous arrogance. His legs shook like jelly, and a stream of yellow liquid flowed out from the hem of his trousers. “Tell your men to stop and take me to your boss,” Philip said coldly. After some arrangements, Scarface changed into a pair of pants and led Philip to a black hover car. Soon, they came to a private residential area, and the car stopped outside a villa surrounded by strange rocks. Ignoring Scarface’s objection, Philip pushed open the two security doors and walked in. With his senses, he detected eight people on the second floor—four sitting on the sofa and the remaining four standing aside as if discussing something. After hearing the noise from downstairs, those people standing hurried down. Seeing a stranger barging in, the four immediately tried to take Philip down. All four were in the late stage of six stars, so they were not too bad. Philip weaved through
After the car had gone far, Philip put a hood over the boss’ head and walked to Jack and Jess’ house. “Philip, you’re back!” Jack opened the door for Philip before he turned and called out to Jess, “Jess, I told you Philip will be able to help!” The siblings led Philip into the house, only to find a man with a cloth bag over his head following behind him. “Who’s this?” Jess asked. “Don't worry about it. Is there someone more influential in this area?” Philip asked. “Yes, of course!” Jack replied quickly. Seeing that Jack was about to blurt out the man's name, Philip put his hand over his mouth. “Shush.” He glanced at the person wriggling to and fro beside him. Jack understood instantly, and Philip said, “Take me to him.” On the way, Philip took off the boss' communicator. To prevent the GPS function, Philip turned it off and put it into his space ring. Jack took Philip to an old house at the end of the village that looked fortified with defense equipment. He p
Before leaving, Philip came to the dimly lit room and said to the boss sitting in the corner, “As long as you cooperate, you’ll be fine.” After a few more reminders, Jack and Philip returned home. It was getting late. Philip called the siblings to the only table, took out a photo of their family of four, and handed it to Jess. Jess was stunned for a while before she burst into tears with the photo in both hands. Jack stepped forward to comfort his sister and also saw the photo. Although Jack was young, he understood the significance of finding this photo, so he burst into tears too. The siblings hugged each other and sobbed bitterly. Philip looked at the two who only had each other to depend on for the rest of their lives and did not know how to comfort them for a while, so he just watched and waited for them to calm down. Jess stopped crying first and asked Philip with red eyes, “Did you find the remains of my parents?” As she spoke, she sobbed again. Philip nodded. Af
Then, he said seriously, “If you want to repay your benefactor with this method, it’ll only cheapen you and your benefactor at the same time.” The girl lowered her head and did not speak for a long time. Philip patted her on the head and said, “Never do such a stupid thing again, no matter who it is—unless you meet someone worth entrusting your life to for the rest of your life.” “Can’t you be the one?” the girl asked with wide eyes. “Uh, another girl has entrusted her life to me.” Philip smiled and said, “What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself and your brother. When your brother grows up, you can leave this place too.” “Yeah.” The girl was a little lost. Walking to the window, Philip stared at the moon outside the rust-stained window for a while and said to the girl behind him, “You should go back to sleep.” Soon, Philip heard the sound of the door closing. Early the next morning, Philip left without saying goodbye and only left a short letter. He a
