Tianxing hadn’t transformed. Her pink-blue hair wasn’t tied in twin tails either, just draped loose behind her. She wore a pretty pink-white dress.
“Good evening.” Lin Yu pulled out a chair and sat down. “Sorry for the wait.”
“Good evening. I just got here too.” Tianxing shook her head, then asked, “What do you want to eat?”
[Actually I sat here thinking for half an hour before I called you…]
“I’m fine with anything.”
“Waiter.” Tianxing waved one over and pointed at the menu. “Two grilled steaks, one fried shrimp, one salmon sashimi, two bottles of iced cola.”
[These are all things you like.]
“Right away, miss.”
The waiter wrote it down and left.
“Why the sudden invitation?”
[And they’re all my favorites. Does she have mind-reading powers?]
“I didn’t want to treat you at all. Something happened to me recently and I want to hear your opinion.”
“What happened?”
“You might not believe this, but I was possessed by someone yesterday! I mean… unable to resist, having my body controlled directly by someone else.”
[Will Lin Yu believe me? This sounds way too unbelievable.]
Tianxing looked at Lin Yu seriously, as if saying, “I’m not joking!“
“And then?”
“You believe me?”
[Great, Lin Yu believes me. I thought I’d have to explain for ages.]
“Of course.”
[Uh… I was the one possessing her. How could I not believe it?]
“I don’t know if the person who possessed me is male or female, human or a supernatural being, or maybe a disaster or something. But they did help me solve a problem. Do you think I should report this to DIAB?”
[Would he mind that someone can possess me? If he minds, I should report it.]
“I don’t think it’s necessary. First, even if you report it, they might not be able to detect anything. Second, you might get judged as mentally contaminated and sent to quarantine.” Lin Yu paused, then went on. “Anyway, they haven’t caused you any harm for now. Let’s just let it be.”
[Must keep her steady! If she reports it, whether DIAB can detect my existence or not, it’s bad news for me.]
“Is that really okay?”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”
Just then, the waiter brought all the dishes Tianxing ordered to the table.
“Please enjoy.”
“Thank you.”
The two fell silent for a moment. Then Tianxing picked up a fried shrimp and took a bite.
“Let’s eat first.”
A while later, after finishing dinner, Tianxing continued.
“If that person possesses me again, what should I do?”
[I’m a girl, after all. Having my body controlled by someone else… I still can’t really accept it. Unless that person is… you.]
“Didn’t you say you can’t resist? Then what else can you do? Clear your mind and let them operate. It’s like… a booster!”
“A booster?”
Tianxing thought about the word and realized it really was like that. The disasters she couldn’t beat, that person helped her beat them. Wasn’t that boosting?
“As long as they don’t cross the line, you don’t need to worry.”
[Having said all this, it should be fine now.]
“I understand.”
[Let’s leave it at that for now.]
After saying goodbye, Lin Yu arrived at the hospital entrance. To make things convenient for supernatural beings who need to consume blood, there was a self-service blood vending machine here, stocked with all kinds of blood.
“According to Bai Lanlan, demon hunters, which is what supernatural beings are called now, their blood tastes better.”
(Demon hunters: before the term “supernatural beings” appeared, the superhumans among humans were demon hunters. They made a living hunting disasters and supernatural creatures.)
In the self-service blood vending machine, prices rose with quality. Supernatural being blood especially was ten times as expensive as ordinary human blood.
500ml of ordinary human blood cost around 1500 yuan.
500ml of supernatural being blood reached 15000 yuan.
“Can’t afford it. I’ll just grab something to get by.”
Lin Yu bought a pack of 500ml ordinary human blood.
Just then, he spotted a familiar figure. Bai Yu, a vampire from SCA. She was probably here to buy blood too.
“Lin Yu? What a coincidence.”
Bai Yu looked at the blood in Lin Yu’s hand and paused slightly. Then she remembered Lin Yu had said this morning he wanted to talk with her, and her pretty face flushed.
[Usually only we vampires buy human blood… He’s a logistics worker for DIAB. Why is he buying this? Could it be a gift for me? Does he need something from me?]
“Ahaha, yeah, what a coincidence.” Lin Yu scratched his head. “I have something to do, so I’ll be going.”
“Huh?”
Bai Yu reached out to stop him, then pulled her hand back. She thought Lin Yu had left awkwardly because she’d caught him.
Back home, Lin Yu patted his chest in relief and let out a long breath.
“Good thing she didn’t ask what I was buying human blood for.”
“Next, I can unlock the vampire bloodline talent.”
With a thought, the vampire transformation card appeared in his hand.
[Transform.]
Now a vampire girl, Lin Yu impatiently opened the blood pack and brought it to her nose to sniff.
“So fresh. Doesn’t smell metallic at all. For vampires, blood is the staple food. Just like humans can’t live without rice, vampires can’t live without blood.”
The girl bit the edge of the packaging and tilted her head back, enjoying the feeling of blood pouring into her body.
When she came to, she had already downed a good amount.
“Mmm… gulp… hah.”
It was as if the most delicious thing in the world burst across her taste buds. The feeling was intoxicating. Lin Yu’s pupils took on a crimson shine. Only now could she be called a true vampire.
On her panel, the three sealed supernatural abilities all unlocked.
“Ordinary human blood is already this delicious. Supernatural being blood must be…”
At the thought, Lin Yu swallowed. She decided that once she had money, she’d live a life where every meal came with supernatural being blood.
“Next, let’s see how Bai Lanlan is doing. Can I keep advancing the main storyline?”
Lin Yu picked up the pants that had fallen to the floor and returned to her room, locking the door.
The moment she opened the Possession Girl app, the little bat started popping up messages.
(“Congratulations, you’ve successfully unlocked the vampire’s supernatural abilities.” The little bat assistant began scattering confetti across the screen, then continued. “Mission: Raise Bai Lanlan’s favorability to 60. Reward: one B-rank supernatural experience card, and unlock Bai Lanlan’s ‘Training’ function.”)
