"Name."

"Johnson Lee."

"Age."

"43."

The guard looked up at the thin, bearded man in front of him, put the ID card in his hand into the hand-held reader, and stopped asking questions. The small light on the reader was flashing, while the identification was in progress.

There was no conversation, only silence, and the two silent people stood in the white light of the sentry building. In the darkness in the distance, the outlines of some houses could be seen, and from the small cluster of raised ground, it was the villa district of Aleisha.

Luo ZhouZhou's heart was beating fast in his throat, but his demeanor was still calm. Even if there was anything unusual, it would not be obvious, since his face was covered with a beard.

"Johnson Lee, you want to go to the Bayard district?" The guard's businesslike questioning, with its tiredness, gave Luo ZhouZhou some hope.

It was now midnight, and the guard must have wanted nothing more than to get off duty, his vigilance must have been lowered, so he probably would be released after a few more casual questions.

"Yes, I'm going to look for my aunt in the Bayard district. She has had a sudden illness, and I'm going to take care of her," Luo ZhouZhou recited the words he had thought out in advance. His voice was shaking a little because he was so nervous. But the guard thought it was from grief and didn't mind.

The district of Bayard was different from the district of Aleisha, where Luo ZhouZhou was now. It was said that all the people there were civilians, and the houses were as densely packed as a beehive. Unlike Aleisha, where there were only vast forest gardens and sparse clusters of villas.

At the same time, it was very free.

But exactly how free could it be? Luo ZhouZhou felt that if he found a small house there, General Luo Pei would not be able to catch him. He could leap from roof to roof on moonlit nights, come and go as he pleased in the cobwebbed alleyways, and buy the freshest blood every night in the legendary underground trading city.

He had not drunk blood once in two months since he had entered this strange world. His body had almost forgotten the moist sweetness of the liquid as it soaked his taste buds and slid down his throat.

More importantly, he had to leave Aleisha so that he could search for his mate. If he didn't find one, he was going to die.

Luo ZhouZhou had never heard of a vampire who died without finding his mate, but he was about to be the only one.

What would it be like to die that way?

His whole body may shrivel up like dried tree bark, which would be frightening to look at. In the end, he would be burned with a torch, and his ashes would be flushed down the drain.

The one responsible for burning him would probably even be the humorless Butler Li in the General's residence.

Luo ZhouZhou could even imagine his frowning face as he poured his ashes into the toilet. The corners of his mouth would be slightly lowered, making the decree lines appear deeper on both sides.

"Beeep----" The identification device loudly beeped with an error message, and a red light on top of it began to flash.

While the guard was checking the reader placed on the table, Luo ZhouZhou's body tensed up, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
