“Remember, I haven’t said anything unnecessary to you. As you can see, the Vampire Queen arranged for you to come to me for treatment, seeking a way to control your condition. So, I gave you a prescription as requested by Her Majesty the Queen.”
He tossed Yin Shang a prescription that looked like a jumbled mess of writing and was completely incomprehensible.
"Take this and show it to the Blood Doctor in the Medicine Vampire Treasury, and you can go into the Blood Clan Medicine Vampire Treasury and get the medicine yourself."
"Whatever you do next is none of my business. This prescription is the evidence. I'm just doing my job."
"And then I just said something offhand, just pretend you didn't hear it, I was just saying it offhand."
Then, Dr. Zhou pointed out the location of a cabinet in the medicine cabinet.
...
...
Dr. Zhou was an extremely cautious man. For a doctor with such grand ambitions as him, medical research was paramount. He wanted to help Yin Shang find what he sought, but he also worried that if the Vampire Queen or anyone else became angry, he would be implicated...
Therefore, he chose a cautious approach to help Yin Shang. In this way, whatever Yin Shang did next would be completely irrelevant to him.
Even if Yin Shang failed to transform into a vampire, he would still be at a loss, because Yin Shang, whose plague was suppressed by the Holy Light, still had extremely high research value.
Choosing whether or not to respect a patient's wishes is also a matter of professional ethics for doctors.
"Reading between the lines is a fundamental skill for doctors."
“I can tell that Yin Shang has completely lost faith in the strength of the human body. Let him be.”
"Even though I didn't leave any evidence, don't betray me, kid."
...
...
Thus, Yin Shang now holds a bottle of activated vampire blood—or more accurately, the serum stock solution used to cure the bloodthirsty plague, which is not yet in a syringe.
Authentic product, absolutely fresh.
“I know you definitely won’t allow me to do this, Ludwig. Not just you, Solid and Ye Liuli, they definitely won’t allow it either…”
"The human knight Yin Shang is more useful to you; but to Solid, the human Yin Shang is her brother Yin."
"But human power is no longer enough to protect her, to protect the people I cherish... and it is no longer enough for me to take revenge on the demons."
"Therefore, I will surpass humanity...!"
...
Before the horrified vampire queen could react, Yin Shang had already drunk the serum in one gulp.
"It's too short...ah!!"
boom! !
The silver-haired girl was interrupted from calling out the names because Yin Shang suddenly unleashed a violent surge of darkness.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Yin Shang's veins bulged, blood vessels filled his scarlet, vacant pupils, and his body was rapidly transforming into something inhuman.
Under the influence of the serum, his entire body was almost completely eroded, transforming him into a "monster".
A mad, insane "bloodthirsty monster".
"Either... kill me... or... make me a vampire!"
Yin Shang's last shred of rationality was quickly wiped out under the influence of the serum.
"Ouch——"
...
Presumably, this is why he drank the serum in front of Ludwig.
He foresaw that he would descend into madness under the corrosive influence of the plague curse. The massive amount of toxins that had been suppressed within his body for so long, when "activated" by the serum, would have an impact far beyond his willpower to withstand.
His berserk state could not be calmed down on its own. The curse that had accumulated over the years would only drive him into an endless rage. At the end of his berserk state, his body would eventually be torn apart along with his consciousness.
Only the power of the vampire queen, Ludwig, to rule over the vampires can help him escape the rage of blood and become a true vampire.
"You're really messing around... Yin Shang!"
Just as Ludwig was about to meet Yin Shang's attack, suddenly, a shadow swept between them.

A dashing figure in a black coat appeared instantly, firmly covering Yin Shang's mouth with one hand.
"What's wrong with this kid?"
Ye Liuli turned her head back.
"I've come to your rescue, Your Majesty. I just happened to be passing by the next corridor, and humph, I overheard some horrible noises."
Bang! !
Ye Liuli kicked Yin Shang in the face, sending him flying far away.
Ludwig gasped, "Hey! Ye... Ye Aiqing! Be gentle!"
Ye Liuli said expressionlessly, "He's very resilient; this little injury is nothing. It's not the first time I've kicked him in the face."
Ludwig paused, then her expression turned blank: "This isn't the first time... Do you usually go this far with him?"
Ye Liuli rolled her eyes and said, "I admit that your quick thinking is one of your strengths, but don't make fun of your subordinates at times like this."
...
"Ouch——"
The out-of-control Yin Shangzhong lunged at them again, and Ye Liuli stomped her foot.
"【Twin Blood Shadows】".
"Binding."
The shadow of Yin Shang, cast by the dim light, appeared to be bound by something.
His physical body seemed to be bound and unable to move, but his body... was completely empty!
Ye Liuli stood motionless, while the shadow behind her twisted strangely, then "walked" along the floor—
This is her blood energy, the [Twin Blood Shadows], which is almost unsolvable under certain conditions.
Ye Liuli's shadow detached from her body and approached Yin Shang's shadow, then immediately pinned it down.
Puff-!
Yin Shang's body collapsed in response, but his body remained completely empty.
Ludwig was only fortunate enough to witness her mysterious and strange blood energy because she became queen; moreover, apart from Ye Liuli herself and the deceased Lingxi, no one else knew anything about the deeper power of her blood energy.
Revealing one's trump cards to others is a major blunder for the head of a mysterious intelligence agency.
Such practices are extremely taboo. Even the vampire queen is no exception.
"Do not approach him, Your Majesty. The leak of darkness has caused him to emanate plague toxins; it would be disastrous if you were to come into contact with them."
...
"Humph."
The vampire queen ran her fingers through her silver hair, then turned and stepped down the stairs around the corner.
"Looks like the meeting will have to be postponed a bit. This guy really knows how to cause trouble for others."
“Bring him to one of the empty guest rooms here. Since he wants to become a vampire... then so be it.”
Her eyes lit up slightly.
"But... if you want to gain greater power, you can't do it without paying a price, Mr. Knight."
Chapter 195 The clouds of the past
After Ye Liuli brought the unconscious Yin Shang to an unused guest room, Ludwig pushed her out.
"Alright, alright, Minister Ye. I am the Vampire Queen, I can handle this little trouble myself."
"But this guy's condition..."
boom.
Ludwig didn't give Ye Liuli a chance to continue speaking and quickly closed the door.
...
"...Ugh."
Ye Liuli stood at the door, her expression somewhat dazed.
"It really does seem familiar."
...
She walked to a deserted corner, leaned against the window, and took out a dagger.
This is her most trusted weapon, which she used to defeat the crazed Evolver, the "Wild Horse" of the Chess Clan.
After modification, this dagger can be extended into a slender metal whip. Since she rarely uses blood energy in combat, a handy weapon is essential.
Before she modified it, this dagger belonged to a carefree witcher.
Several years ago, she was not a vampire, but just a weak human girl who trembled in fear behind others.
The past few years felt like an eternity to her, a world transformed...
Perhaps it's also related to the fact that she spent a long time in the Eternal Pure Land.
A frail human girl, a serious and rigid female knight, a carefree and unruly witcher, and a lazy incarnation of the Holy Grail.
There's also the vampire queen who has closed herself off emotionally, and the human priest who has always protected her...
Six blurry figures moved forward, forward—
When the frail human girl came to her senses, she had transformed into a completely different vampire, no longer frail, and no longer human.
The five blurry figures beside her had all vanished without a trace.
Because most of them did not leave any photos, their appearances gradually faded from Ye Liuli's mind and were eventually completely forgotten by her.
One day after falling into the ranks of vampires, Ye Liuli took the witcher's belongings, repaired his dagger and revolver, and modified them...
Although she was now a monster through and through, she stubbornly kept the two Witcher weapons that had annihilated countless monsters for herself.
Because she needed to commemorate and remember her benefactor in some way.
...
But what about the others?
She didn't shed any tears, but her dazed expression showed that she was still struggling to calm down.
Her childhood sweetheart was the young priest who wielded a holy lance and brandished its dazzling holy light to fight against the darkness.
Although he survived the disaster, a series of blows led him to choose to plunge into despair.
Consumed by malice and tainted by darkness, he transforms into an incomprehensible, corrupted monster, solely to save his lover who cannot be saved in despair.
Then, filled with regret and resentment, he met the end of his life.
...
Bang!
Ye Liuli slammed her fist against the wall.
"Yin Shang...you idiot!"
Ye Liuli went to great lengths to prevent him from using the power of darkness, largely due to her own selfish desires.
Once upon a time, there was also a person like Yin Shang, wielding a holy light more dazzling than the sun, fearlessly charging into the unfathomable darkness; when Ye Liuli learned of Yin Shang's situation, she did not want this person to also go astray, and tried to obstruct him at every turn.
As it turned out, Yin Shang's burdens were far heavier than she had imagined, and Ye Liuli had also overestimated his willpower.
The death of a close friend became the final straw.
The last straw for Yin Shang. A single misstep, and he was transformed into a demon.
