Lingling spoke after a pause, “A body does get cold after the blood has dried, but I thought it’s only like that because we were late getting there… it sounds like that’s not the case. A body’s temperature doesn’t drop that fast.”
“Maybe it’s because of the vampire?” said Zhao Manting.
Lingling shook her head. She glanced at Mo Fan and spoke in a speculating manner, “To be honest, I’m still confused on certain things,”
“What things?” asked Mo Fan.
“Her sister Liu Xian died from excessive loss of blood, why did the report say she died of a sudden heart attack? All the documents were there to validate her cause of death, and not one of them had any part that was suspicious, but that is exactly why it felt strange, as Old Huo would never lie to us, as he had witnessed the incident himself,” said Liu Xian.
Mo Fan suddenly realized something halfway through her speech!
“We shouldn’t have handed Liu Ru’s corpse to the police…” Mo Fan realized that he had made a mistake.
“Mm, but it’s fine. I think the vampire has exposed himself,” Lingling’s eyes flickered, making her look wise.

“Still working at this time? We’re all done for the day,” a relatively gorgeous policewoman asked the young forensic doctor.
The young doctor said with a helpless smile, “A girl was found in the woods at Pearl Institute with holes in her neck. The body was sent here, so I’ll have to perform an autopsy.”
“Isn’t the institute full of Magicians? Why would someone commit a crime there? That sounds rather strange,” mused the policewoman.
“Maybe the Magicians are the ones committing the crime. We’ll know once I finish the autopsy,” the young forensic doctor smiled.
After putting on a big white coat, the doctor went to a dimmed room. It had a white tone, and was filled with many forensic instruments. An autopsy table was placed at the center of the room, where a white cloth was covering a slim body.

The doctor was about to close the door when the policewoman poked her head through it and asked cautiously, “Do you need my help? Maybe we can grab supper if we finish it earlier.”
“Of course, I’m a bit hungry now,” a smile surfaced on the doctor’s face.
The policewoman said with a nod, “Then I’ll grab something for you to eat.”
“It’s fine, just stay here,” Nie Dong’s smile turned into an eerie grin.
Nie Dong suddenly pushed the policewoman against the wall upon finishing the sentence.
The officer felt dizzy as she slammed into the wall. She was just about to struggle when cold lips pressed heavily onto her neck.
She had a good impression of the young, handsome forensic doctor, and was planning to take a step forward tonight, yet she did not expect the guy would respond so roughly to her straight away. He could just do it after a meal, she did not like it rough.
Suddenly, a pair of fangs reached out between the lips and poked into the policwoman’s neck. Her body suddenly tensed, with her face displaying a hint of pain.
The man’s throat moved as blood poured into his stomach through the fangs. Nie Dong was greedily sucking away the woman’s blood.
He had only turned into a vampire quite recently. He still could not control the savage nature and lust for blood well, thus he would forget to keep an eye on his prey’s condition while he was enjoying his meal. At times, he would end up sucking his prey’s life dry.
The senior mentioned that it was a bad habit, as it would potentially grab the attention of Hunters. However, Nie Dong thought the senior was making a big fuss over a minor issue. With their capabilities, they could easily twist the Hunters around their little finger. Why would they be afraid of the Hunters?
The Blood Tribe was a stronger species than homo sapiens. Humans were only their toys and food, but the way his senior had taught him, it felt like people of the Blood Tribe were like thieves living in a little dark corner, who had no choice but to hide and conceal their identities…

How ridiculous!
So what if he sucked his prey’s blood dry, there were millions of people living in the city. It would not make any difference if he killed a person every day!
“No…don’t…” the policewoman cried weakly.
If the vampire was simply sucking the prey’s blood at a crazy pace, the prey would not feel any pleasure, only an overwhelming pain.
The woman’s life force was drained rapidly. She never thought her bold move of asking the doctor out for supper after finally gathering her courage, would turn her into a monster’s supper instead. All her struggles were in vain.
Finally, the blood ran dry.
The policewoman’s face was extremely pale, with a slight hint of blue. Her body seemed to have shriveled, the clothes on her were now loose…
Nie Dong finally drew his lustful fangs out from the girl’s neck, before licking the sweetness left on his lips. His eyes were full of disdain.
“Consider yourself unlucky, as I’ll need a huge amount of fresh blood for a ritual tonight. If you didn’t present yourself, I would simply have picked a target among the women who are on a night shift tonight,” Nie Dong laughed. The fangs poking out from his upper lip slowly withdrew.
Even though the police station had surveillance cameras in every room, including the morgue, he had already set the place up, so no one would know the policewoman had been here, or that she had somehow disappeared tonight.
As a matter of fact, it was his first time preying on someone at his workplace. It turned out that he was quite self-disciplined before!
“Liu Xian, you are still back in my hands. Tsk tsk, a bunch of idiots, being twisted around my finger, and in the end, I still got my hands on both the sisters…” Nie Dong did not bother looking at the female officer. Instead, he slowly approached the table with the corpse which was thought to be Liu Ru.
——
Inside an alley opposite the police station, a wolf-like creature was sprinting at an incredible pace. When some obstacles popped up in front of it, it agilely passed them by running across the wall on either sides.
“Crap, she’s dead,” Lingling, who was riding on the Swift Star Wolf, had her eyes fixed onto her notebook computer.
Mo Fan frowned, too. He initially thought the vampire would avoid taking innocent lives to keep his disguise intact, yet he had killed again after just a short period of time. This vampire was utterly devoid of conscience!
As soon as they speculated on the vampire’s identity, Lingling immediately ran a search in the police’s database and locked onto the young forensic doctor.
Even though he had done something to the cameras, Lingling, a computer whiz, easily hacked into the system and gained access to the surveillance network.
As soon as she got access, she saw the vampire attacking the female officer!
The girl had died a pitiful death, but the recording had turned out to be the most solid evidence, leaving no escape for the vampire!
“Zhao Manting has already handed the recording to the Hunter Union, but we have to take him down as soon as possible. Otherwise, Liu Ru will be in danger!” Lingling said to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan nodded. Time was running out. He had to apprehend the loathsome vampire at once and rescue Liu Ru!

Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come. Never be afraid to drop a comment. My DM is open. I'll work to keep this work free to access but I ask you to enjoy it from official sources so that you can be part of the discussion. There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience.Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
