Chapter 1168: Chapter 527: The True God is Calling_2

However, the cemetery did remind him.

His Blood of Heart Vessels shrine could use the bodies of the Blood Clan; it wasn’t necessary to look for Vampires who had just died in battle. Scouring the cemetery was also an option.

In this place, known as Vampire City, at least ten thousand Vampires lived, and among so many of them, not all could have died from infighting; there must be some who died natural deaths and were buried.

And this area was the only cemetery in the whole City of Enoch; to avoid human detection, the Blood Clan could only be buried here.

Thus, given some time to uncover all the Vampire remains in this cemetery, he should be able to harvest a considerable amount of Blood of Heart Vessels.

As Mu You was scheming, a notification suddenly popped up in the game.

[You feel the surroundings becoming incredibly noisy, as if you had suddenly entered a bustling market street. You turn your head and involuntarily gape.]

[You see from every tombstone, a pale blue Soul Body floats up. These Ghost Spirits, retaining their pre-death physiques and clothing, even leave their own tombstones and move around like old acquaintances, talking and arguing with each other.]

[You, a living person so out of place amongst these spirits, however, do not attract much attention. Some Ghost Spirits drift past you, merely giving you a curious glance before silently moving away. Others even try to strike up a conversation, wishing for you to carry last words to their kin under the sun...]

Mu You was taken aback and immediately remembered the introduction he had read earlier—this was clearly the rare Blood Rhythm of Conjuring from the Ghost Spirits clan.

It seemed Katerina was indeed nearby, but Mu You hadn’t expected that she could summon so many Ghost Spirits at once!

Mu You had already vaguely guessed her method for helping him shake off the masked man.

Indeed, after a moment, another notification popped up in the game.

[...Amidst the procession of a hundred ghastly spirits, you suddenly hear roaring and screaming from afar. You turn to look and, a few hundred meters away in some thicket, a black figure is being surrounded by numerous Ghost Spirits.]

[The Ghost Spirits appear to have gone Berserk, their bodies turning red, and they furiously attack the figure, which is forced to fight back. Although it can kill a Ghost Spirit with a few blows, there were simply too many on the scene, and hearing the noise, more red-bodied spirits from afar gave up their conversations and swiftly floated over to provide support.]

[The figure is soon overwhelmed by the increasingly large number of spirits, completely obscured from view.]

[You realize this is a great opportunity to break free from control! Do you escape while you can?]

"Yes!"

It had come this far; he must continue.

[You quickly run in the direction opposite the figure. You haven’t gone far when a female Ghost Spirit drifts past you, suddenly stops, and looks at you, with an unearthly hand pointing towards a direction.]

[Do you follow the direction indicated by the female spirit?]

It was obviously Katerina controlling the spirits.

Such a convenient ability—no need to risk showing her face, with all work done by the Ghost Spirits.

[You run deeper into the cemetery...]

Mu You then began to flee, a Ghost Spirit appearing every so often to point the way, running like this for four or five minutes until other notifications pop up.

[It seems you have left the confines of the cemetery and entered a dark wooded area enveloped by layers of dense fog. Walking through the woods, you feel as though everything around is identical, and you can’t make out any direction.]

[And now, with no Ghost Spirits to guide you, you are completely lost in the foggy forest...]

Mu You frowned as he read, even suspecting for a moment whether Katerina meant to harm him. However, he didn’t get too anxious; lost was lost, but he wasn’t far from the cemetery. If she really intended to do him harm, he could always retrace his steps and scream to reveal his position, confident that the masked man would find him quickly.

[You wander the forest for a while, completely at a loss, when suddenly a hand reaches from behind you, grabbing your wrist.]

[You turn to look and see a woman holding a Magic Wand, cloaked in a black hood—Katerina.]

["Follow me!" Katerina gestures for silence and immediately starts pulling you deeper into the woods.]

[You don’t resist and keep pace with her, gradually moving away from the cemetery.]

[After about ten minutes, Katerina finally stops, closes her eyes for a moment to feel the surroundings, and the tension on her face slightly eases: "We’re safe for now..."]

Mu You silently clicked on ’Katerina’ in the game, and the returned information showed she was a fifth-generation Vampire...

He had absolutely no power to resist against the algebraic gap, and now, with enough distance between them and the masked man, if the other wanted to make a move, now would be the time.

Fortunately, after waiting for about half a minute, the other party did not seem to have any intention of acting.

Only then did Mu You release the grip on his pocket watch and continue to type into the game.

"You ask the other party why they want to help you."

"Katerina gave you a careful look and said softly, ’I am a ’Prophet,’ and last night, the first time I saw you, I already saw some visions of your future...’"

"Oh? What does my future look like?" you ask subconsciously.

"You will soon overthrow this city! I saw you standing on a mountain of vampire corpses, drenched in blood, on top of the carnage...""

Mu You raised an eyebrow at this. Did it mean he was certain to clear the game soon?

After thinking for a moment, Mu You continued to type.

" ’But the muscular Transformer claimed that your prophecies have never been accurate,’ you say."

" ’Prophecies can be forcibly rewritten by changing actions and conditions, otherwise they would have no meaning. Besides, how do you know I have not been pretending to be foolish all along, creating an image of a half-baked Prophet?’ "

"Oh?" Mu You’s eyebrow lifted again. Hearing this, her predictive powers seemed impressive, but why had she been concealing herself all this time?

" ’I am saving you, not because you will become king in the future, but because in all my years of foresight, you are the only one who might be able to help me. I need you to do something for me!’ Katerina suddenly spoke with a serious expression."

"What is it?"

" ’I need you to go with me to a place immediately, while ’it’ is not around...’ "

" ’Who’s not around?’ you ask subconsciously."

" ’The will of this world...’ "

"Hm?"

Mu You was startled. The world’s will? Could it be the Admin?

" ’Hurry, there’s no time to talk. It will soon return, and we have very little time!’ Katerina said, pulling you hurriedly towards the outside of the woods."

"...Soon, you both ran out of the woods, and what appeared before you was an ancient, dimly lit manor with broken doors, windows, and walls, looking long abandoned."

" ’What I need you to do is to enter this Red Maple Manor!’ Katerina said."

" ’What do I need to do after entering?’ you ask."

" ’I don’t know,’ Katerina shook her head."

You give her a puzzled look.

" ’There’s a barrier set up here, and all the locals are unable to come near this manor, I have never entered it either. Only you outsiders can step into the manor’s bounds. Once you enter, you will naturally understand what to do,’ Katerina said urgently, casting you encouraging glances."

You stand still, her explanation not convincing enough for you to venture into an completely unknown place.

" ’Please, the true creator is calling you! If you want to know the truth about this species, you must go in!’ Katerina spoke again, this time with a plea in her eyes."

You have a choice...

"Trust her, perhaps here you really could gain something," or "Reject her, she is clearly trying to deceive you into getting yourself killed."

Faced with two options, Mu You hesitated for a moment, but still chose ’trust.’

After all, she had had a perfect opportunity to attack him before and did not, obviously not for his talent, and other than ’talent absorption’, he could not think of anything else in this scenario that would be of interest to her.

The fact that she really needed something from him here, but what really piqued Mu You’s interest was her saying ’To understand the truth about this species, you must go in.’

And earlier, she mentioned ’the world’s will is not around,’ daring to pull him here, it was clear, something significant about the Blood Clan was likely hidden within this manor.
