Therefore, his eccentric personality cannot even be considered a "flaw," but rather a "minor problem" that doesn't even qualify to be mentioned in a health check-up report.
"Just get this guy into the department he wants. It's uncomfortable being around him? What do I care? After all, he doesn't need any so-called 'mentor'."
There's always a truth to the saying—"Genius is always lonely."
By sheer chance, freakish "genius" like Capilison Spier grew up peacefully and would sit at the top of the world's largest oligopoly group in the coming years.
During his university years, Capilison devoted himself to studying sociology.
His initial goal was to understand, through social research, what kind of creatures humans truly are.
Capilison had wanted to study this problem since he was a child because his thinking was unusually rational and he could not understand many of the actions that humans take when driven by emotion.
He always had this feeling that he couldn't find the slightest sense of belonging in human society.
"Perhaps, by understanding the essence of humanity, I will be able to truly understand humankind."
Capilison thought this way until he graduated from university several years later.
At that time, his grand plan began to take shape in his mind.
...
"Only then did I finally understand everything—"
He stood with his arms outstretched at the highest point, hundreds of miles away, looking down at the island as if looking down at all living beings.
"Humans are imperfect beings. That's why I've never been able to understand them. And I will redefine what it means to be 'human'."
"To achieve this goal, the vampires and their supreme ruler must be eliminated. Even though humans are no match for vampires, vampires are equally vulnerable to human public opinion. Since we cannot dismantle the vampire queen's rule, we must dismantle the vampires from within, manipulating people's hearts and public opinion, plunging the vampires into a vortex of contradictions and public opinion from which they cannot extricate themselves."
"Even the vampire queen is threatened by public opinion..."
Capilison sneered.
"As insignificant as an ant."
He sat back down in his chair, casually picked up his tea, and waited for the good news from Western Europe.
"The storm of public opinion needs time to build. Until then, Her Majesty the Queen, who can command all vampires..."
"My loyal men and I will stop her return at all costs."
Chapter 114 Bewitched
"Hehe... Little Hilly..."
"I miss you so much, I miss you so much. I'll be there soon, little Shirley. Hehe..."
...
Lingxi kept humming a strange tune, seemingly more eager to meet the Queen than the rest of the group.
"Could you please stop laughing so disgustingly?" Ludwig looked at her with disdain.
"Hey, Miss Ye. Does she act like this all the time, like a lovesick woman, when she's with the Vampire Queen?"
Ye Liuli said, "No, she just had a strong desire to perform and was emphasizing the Queen's sovereignty to everyone present."
“I really don’t understand her. She clearly said the Queen was fine, but she went to great lengths to 'give birth' to Lochina in order to please the Queen, and even arranged for her to be in such a remote and hard-to-find place... It’s obvious that something is wrong with the Queen.”
Ludwig complained.
"Miss Ye, you disappeared with Lingxi, so you should know what happened, right?"
When asked about this matter, Ye Liuli's usually indifferent expression changed significantly.
She snorted:
"Of course I know what happened, after all, I've always had a very good relationship with Lingxi and Xiaoxili..."
"As for the answer to this question, I agree with Lingxi—we should wait until we meet her and ask her in person."
Ludwig wanted to say something, but Ye Liuli lightly touched her lips with her finger.
“Princess, Lingxi and I aren’t deliberately keeping you in suspense, it’s just… we don’t want to bring this up. Some things are more convincing when witnessed firsthand than when told by others.”
Ludwig shrugged. "Hmph, fine. When will we get there? My feet are killing me."
“There’s still about half the journey left,” Ye Liuli replied.
She wouldn't complain about Ludwig wearing high heels again on her trip. After all, vampires tend to have a bit of an obsession with clothing.
...
At this moment, the seven people, led by Lingxi, had already stepped into the depths of the cold Alps.
Of the seven, only Yin Shang and Solid were sensitive to the cold; the other five supernatural beings were either immune to the cold or possessed methods to keep warm. They appeared calm and composed in their thin dresses or coats, giving Yin Shang the illusion that he had stepped into an RPG game.
After all, the beautiful girls in games are indeed not...
I'm afraid of the cold.
"Reinhardt, you're so cunning. Turning into a cat means you won't be cold anymore..."
It twitched its ears: "Master, shall I transform back into human form and warm you up?"
Yin Shang instantly recalled the soft touch of her body, and his face flushed red.
"Ah, no—never mind, never mind!"
Reinhardt tilted his head: "But you look like you're shivering from the cold."
"..."
"..."
Yin Shang ultimately succumbed to his inner thoughts.
After a burst of golden light, the cat in his arms transformed back into his little girlfriend, and under the pretext of keeping warm, she rightfully snuggled up with him again.
"How pathetic. So what if you have big breasts?"
"I don't think it has anything to do with that, Miss. It was consensual between them, so please don't make unfounded comments."
"Coco, is it consensual between us?"
"Miss!"
...
...
As the mountain road gradually disappeared, they entered a truly uninhabited area.
The group's laughter and chatter gradually subsided as the environment worsened.
Originally, Lingxi and Yeliuli, who knew the situation, were just putting on a brave face and trying to liven up the atmosphere, but now their expressions became increasingly solemn as they got closer to the Queen's secluded residence.
Hidden within the biting cold wind is not only the queen's residence.
And... a deadly intent to kill.
...
A muffled sound could be faintly heard in the night sky, which was partially obscured by ice and snow.
Ye Liuli perked up her pointed ears and shook them slightly.
Was it an avalanche?
wrong.
An avalanche doesn't just make a single sound.
Immediately afterwards, the whistling sound of wind breaking through the air grew louder as it approached. It was like the howling of a vengeful spirit, piercing through Ye Liuli's mind.
“Get down!!”
Seeing that Lingxi was a little slow to react, Ye Liuli leaped up and tackled her to the ground.
"Oh no! W-what happened?!"
In a flash, something whistled past their heads and slammed into the frozen wood beside them—
Click!
The frozen wood snapped with a crack, sending surrounding frozen wood crashing down like leeks, kicking up a huge cloud of snow dust that made everyone cough.
"Cough cough cough! What is that!" Ludwig exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Liuli quickly helped Lingxi to her feet:
"There is an enemy attack!"
At this moment, Ruo Keke immediately analyzed the broken marks on the frozen wood, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Such a thick piece of frozen wood, it would have taken an artillery shell to break it so cleanly! But judging from the trajectory and sound of that thing, it couldn't possibly be an artillery shell!"
Ye Liuli continued, "Well, what's more, several of the frozen trees behind were also broken."
Her eyes suddenly turned bright red.
"Whatever it is, run!"
Ye Liuli carried Lingxi, Ruo Keke picked up Ludwig, and Yin Shang carried Lochina on his back, and together they ran towards the rocks next to them where they could hide.
boom!
The attack continued, and another unidentified object landed beside the group, kicking up a lot of snow dust that almost knocked the girls, who were already struggling to maintain their balance, over.
If you were hit by it, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Ouch!"
"Wow--"
"Quick, let's go! It's not safe here!"
Two or three of the girls were clearly terrified, screaming intermittently for a moment. Then they realized that their voices might give away their location and forcefully suppressed the urge to scream.
Lochina was almost scared to tears, but she was very sensible and suppressed the urge to cry, trembling as she huddled in Ludwig's arms.
"Sister...sister..."
Lingxi gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, it must be blood energy... This doesn't seem like the power of a conventional weapon. Who on earth is this person?!"
Ludwig suggested, "Why don't I release the Moon Shadow Witch—"
"No, little cutie."
Lingxi resolutely refused.
“We still need to keep moving. The enemy is too dangerous; we can’t leave you here. Besides, you don’t know what the consequences would be if the Moon Shadow Witch were injured.”
"Can you tell what the enemy's abilities are?" Ye Liuli asked.
"No." Lingqi replied immediately.
"But it's clear that none of the people present are suited to deal with him. They don't even know his location, so even if they have the ability to fight from a distance, they don't know where to start."
bang——
Another muffled thud rang out, masked by the sound of wind and snow.
Solid gritted her teeth and stepped forward:
"Holy Spell: Holy Shield Barrier!"
She unfurled an arc-shaped golden light shield, enveloping everyone.
Ding--!
Bang!
The soil next to them burst open, and snow dust flew everywhere.
"ah!!"
The Aegis successfully deflected the attack, but the enemy's attack was undoubtedly too powerful. The Aegis shattered, and Solid staggered and was about to fall when Yin Shang quickly caught her.
"Don't push yourself, Miss Solid." Lingxi shook her head.
“你加&1*/0一/零|+$--五~%酒#}<==#1~7%4-~5&9{{4<&9}8的圣咒术在黑夜风雪之中太显眼了,反而会成为敌人的目标。”
"I'm sorry..." Solid lowered her head.
Lingxi sighed, "There's no need to blame yourself."
