IUD-Chapter 612 The Night Eater

The night was falling quietly.

There was an indescribable atmosphere of silence in the huge Western-style mansion.

The lights had long been extinguished.

The human aura had also vanished.

At first glance, even if someone said that this place was haunted, there would surely be believers.

"But there's no way around it, right?"

Inside his room, Fang Li muttered to himself as he opened the window, not turning on the light, but gazing into the eerie darkness that enveloped the entire mansion.

"A house this big with only four people living in it can't possibly be alive."

This was a recent development.

Originally, the Western-style mansion of the Tohno family, who had a large estate, housed not only the direct descendants of the Tohno family, but also numerous branch family members, relatives, and servants responsible for their care.

The scattered houses around the Western-style mansion had also been inhabited before.

However, after Tohno Akiha's ascension, that strong-willed girl drove all the branch family members and relatives out of the Tohno family compound, leaving only Kohaku and Hisui behind.

The reason was simple.

"Because I don't like it."

That's all.

Tohno Akiha seemed to harbor a deep hatred for those branch family members and relatives who were just trying to climb the social ladder.

Therefore, after becoming the head of the family, Akiha Tohno quickly and decisively expelled all the branch family members and relatives.

Of course, this action inevitably caused various problems.

Unfortunately, Akiha Tohno carried it out without hesitation.

This confirmed what she had said earlier.

"Now that I am the head of the family, I have my own methods.

Therefore, Tohno Akiha was able to dismiss a lot of criticism and chase away all the branch family members and relatives just because of a "dislike".

Therefore, she was able to invite a long-lost orphan, who had been hunted by the Tohno family for several years, and who probably harbored resentment and evil intentions, just because of a "lack of agreement," and even employ him as a steward to bring him here.

"Should I say she's naive? Or bold?"

Whether it was naive or bold, the current head of the Tohno family certainly had a strong personality and an aura of authority.

Ordinary people would probably be deeply attracted to such a beautiful and strong-willed young woman, wouldn't they?

Fang Li was also a person who didn't care about trivial matters, so he had no dislike for Akiha Tohno's strong personality.

"Although she's still a little too naive."

Leaving those words behind, Fang Li suddenly moved.

*Pa...*

With a slight sound of footsteps, Fang Li's figure suddenly turned into a gust of wind, passing through the window and disappearing into the darkness like a crow melting into the night.

*Shh...*

Inside the mansion, the trees planted in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze brought by Fang Li's passing.

Fang Li turned into a shadow and disappeared into the Tohno family mansion in an instant.

...

This was a busy city center, far away from the suburban residential area.

At this moment, the flow of people in the downtown streets had already decreased compared to the daytime, making the lively atmosphere less noticeable.

Fang Li didn't know when he had arrived here, seamlessly blending into the crowd, casually strolling along the street, occasionally glancing up at a nearby storefront.

In front of that storefront, a television was broadcasting the news.

And on the television was such a news report.

"Recently, the police discovered the body of a young woman in an alley near the city. The body was found early in the morning, and according to the preliminary investigation, the time of death was around dawn, and the cause of death was massive blood loss."

With this report, a news headline appeared on the screen.

Headline: "Serial Bizarre Murder Incidents"

The story continued under this headline.

"This is the eighth bizarre murder incident this year. All the victims are young women, and the cause of death in all cases is massive blood loss. Each victim's body was completely drained of blood, and the perpetrator's modus operandi is consistent."

"Therefore, the police believe that the perpetrator of these eight bizarre murders is the same person, and the identity of the perpetrator has yet to be confirmed."

"I hope that all citizens can actively cooperate with the police. If you notice any abnormalities or suspicious people, please notify the police immediately."

Seeing this message, Fang Li paused for a moment.

Around him, many others were also watching and discussing the scene.

"Another serial killer incident?"

"This is the eighth time."

"The culprit is so brazen, and yet the police still haven't managed to catch him. Isn't that too negligent?"

"It can't be helped. Maybe the culprit isn't human."

"Each victim's body is completely drained of blood?"

"Could there really be vampires?"

"How is that possible?"

Similar conversations continued to flow from the surrounding area.

"Vampires?" Fang Li smiled skeptically.

Aside from Fang Li, there was another person who blended into the crowd without saying a word and silently walked away.

Fang Li had noticed this person a long time ago.

So, Fang Li stared and Ice-blue Mystic Eyes appeared silently.

The surrounding world turned into a patchwork state, with cracks spreading everywhere.

The lines representing 'Death' divided each passerby's body, as fragile as they were, ready to shatter into pieces of flesh and bone at the slightest touch.

No one could have imagined that a terrifying monster capable of tearing them apart in an instant was lurking among them.

However, Fang Li did not pay any attention to the people around him but was fixated on the silently walking figure.

The person's body was densely covered with Death Lines, so dense that it resembled a spider's web.

"Is it him?"

Without hesitation, Fang Li followed while crossing the streets and moving through the crowd.

He finally entered an alley.

Upon entering the alley, Fang Li immediately noticed it.

The pungent smell of blood.

*Hū..hū..*

Amidst the wild beast-like rapid breathing, the person from before was now crouching over a blood-soaked corpse, feeding.

Yes, feeding.

Tearing at the throat.

Ripping at the flesh.

Gnawing at the neck.

Drinking blood.

If that wasn't feeding, what was?

"Truly filthy..."

Under Fang Li's murmur, the person's actions stopped, and eyes devoid of any rationality turned towards Fang Li.

Inside them, madness and hunger intertwined.
