My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1414. Xia Ni's Fallen Virtue: Walking Slowly to the Other Side of the Night

The faded stone statue of Lady Cecilia was shattered.

From any perspective, her stone statue is a corrupted object that must be cleaned up, but the vampires do not have too many feelings about this true "crushing to ashes", as it is part of their life.

Femis showed great strength.

She told Murphy that she had no problem participating in the Gray Crusade and could even stay in the Fog City to clean up the wolf-vampires left behind by Cecilia. But at Tracy's request, Femis was still escorted back to the Midnight Tower in Transia by her best friend Little Potato.

She needs to rest.

After killing the last relative, even the strongest person needs the comfort of time and solitude.

"But you also heard Phemis's final farewell to Cecilia, Murphy."

On the way out of the Wolfsbane Gathering, Tris played with the Fallen Virtue Right Armor in her hand and said:
"Femis has accepted her mission from the bottom of her heart. For the vampire civilization, whether her 'seed' can take root and sprout will directly determine the future of the vampire population.

I originally thought that you might be the most suitable person to complete this ceremony with Femis, but then I realized that you really only have a brotherly love for Femis, and you are abnormal in every way except that your XP is unexpectedly normal, and you know how to appreciate beauty like mine.

So, should you also make some demands on Femis's life partner for the rest of his life, or devote some energy to this matter?"

"what are you thinking?"

Murphy shook his head and said:
"That is Femis's own business. No one can interfere, and I won't allow anyone to interfere. If the future of vampires requires sacrificing Femis' life to achieve, then even if someone creates that future, I will destroy it with my own hands!
No hesitation!

As the descendants of eternal sinners, we have been misunderstood too much. Let’s stop throwing dirty water on ourselves.

So, what on earth are you going to do with this thing?"

Murphy squinted his eyes at the right hand nail in Tris's hand and said:
"Xiani won't give it up. If you keep dragging your feet, I'm afraid that Xiai will get so angry that she will do something dangerous. She has nothing to worry about now, so don't make it too big, Tris!"

"I know. I have already negotiated the terms with her."

Tris gave a weird smile, then yawned and threw the gauntlet in her hand to Murphy, who looked confused.

She waved the Raven Star Staff to open a rift in the astral realm, and walked into it with Adele. At the moment of disappearance, she turned back and whistled at Murphy in a vulgar and hooligan way, saying:

"We said before that Shani's life was destined to be ruined by you. Little Murphy, congratulations, Shani is really going to become 'Mrs. Shani' today. This was Adele's suggestion to me. You know, evil and depravity.
Wow, it really makes people feel exciting and joyful. Just think of it as a 'side quest reward' for you, my little cutie.

Uwahahahaha."

As Tris laughed like a villain, Murphy probably guessed what kind of "evil" thing his wife and her lover had done together. He covered his eyes with his hands in despair.

Alas, it is obvious that both his wife and his mistress are finding ways to have fun for themselves, and it is obvious that Xia Ni's various conditions almost perfectly match his XP. Why is it so awkward to combine two things that should be happy together?

At this moment, Murphy felt that he had become Huang Shiren in front of the White-Haired Girl, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart.

He looked back at the Wolfsbane Gathering House behind him. This damn place had been filled with all kinds of filthy flesh and blood. Even the core of the gas-driven water purifier used to purify sewage had become spiritualized due to the erosion of chaos.

Although the Omega program has purified the chaotic atmosphere around us, who knows what will happen if these damn things are left behind.

Therefore, the players who had earned enough destiny points in this battle were happily using gold flamethrowers to burn the debris everywhere. Diguashao also brought a group of people to install explosives everywhere. Grand Duke Hathor left a reverse astral tearing spell here.

Once this area is blasted apart, all the debris will be sent into the rifts in the astral realm.

Although this will cause residents in nearby areas to endure the terrible days of sewage backflow and feces smearing on the walls for a period of time, it is still much better than everyone falling hand in hand into the arms of chaos and singing songs of praise for sweetness.

Moreover, considering that the Fog City has demonstrated urban management capabilities that are superior to those of this era, I'm afraid that new sewage treatment devices will be installed here soon.

Murphy shook his head, turned and walked out of the meeting place, and saw from afar Old Marcus discussing something with Count Laura in the corner.

Looking at Countess Laura's excited and nervous expression, you can tell that this is definitely a division of the spoils.

The collapse of the Wolf Griffin faction means that the black zone of Greene Island is back under the control of the Wolfsbane Clan. The best part is that her father is still in a deep coma in the ICU and can't do anything. All she needs to do next is introduce Eris Werewolf as an ally and kill those stupid brothers who want to take advantage of her. Then the world of Greene Island will belong to her.

Well, the ruthlessness, decisiveness and ambition shown by Count Laura left a deep impression on Murphy.

What's even more rare is that Count Laura is the only Count in the Wolfsbane Clan who has proactively stated that he will stick to the Order camp. This is considered to be "sensible to the overall situation". Therefore, if old Edward really wants to step down as Grand Duke, he will definitely vote for Laura.

The "Gray Claw Twins", who had finally completed their mission, were not far away.

Sister Winnie plans to return to the former territory of the Korando family to collect the family treasure and bring it back to Transia as start-up capital for her own explorer career, while sister Melia's emotions are simpler. She is enjoying the peaceful days that have finally arrived in her brother's arms.

From then on, Kolando's old grudges would no longer interfere with her future.

This healing scene made Murphy smile silently. He raised his head and looked at the darkness that was still shrouding the city even though it was already noon. He gently snapped his fingers to let the darkness dissipate, allowing the sunlight that was not warm but shining on the earth to spread over this city that was somewhat unfamiliar to him at this moment.

Well, the night has passed, and the light can finally embrace everyone.

In the shadow of the light, Murphy lowered his head and looked at the right armour of Fallen Virtue in his hand. He sighed, and without even looking at the item entry of this thing, he rushed towards Loren's Marshal's Mansion in the posture of a red comet under the guidance of the Blood River Mark.

Shani was waiting for him there, like a canary in a cage.

He still entered the sealed building from the balcony, but as soon as he came in, Murphy smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

He followed the source of the smell of alcohol down the luxurious red clay stairs and finally met Shani in the short marshal's bedroom. The latter's boots, clothes, armor and bra were scattered everywhere. She was lying naked on the bed, and the bedside was littered with bottles of the dwarf marshal's collection of wine.

Her golden braids were undone and scattered casually, revealing an astonishing sense of decadence. Shani didn't care about her bad posture at the moment. She tilted her head back and poured the last bottle of wine into her mouth. Then, she looked at Murphy standing at the door with bleary eyes.

She forced out a desperate smile, poured the liquid in the bottle onto her body, spread her hands and said to Murphy:

"Great, I'm drunk enough, come on, do whatever you want. Do you need me to perform more vigorously? I should probably do that and fulfill the obligations of a slave girl, but please forgive me, but I'm really not in the mood to serve you now.

So have fun and don’t mind me.”

"I just want to tell you that don't mind Trish and Adele's bad jokes. My moral standards are not so low that I would take advantage of a lady at her most desperate time."

Murphy threw the right armor in his hand over, and the drunken Xia Ni caught it accurately.

She looked at Murphy who turned and left with a look of surprise. Finally, after he took a few steps, she said in a frustrated tone:
"So, after I lost all the meaning of existence, even this remaining body has lost its original use? Murphy, are you pitying me?"

"No, that's not the case. You don't understand how hard it is for me to suppress my base desires at this moment."

Murphy said softly:
“But unfortunately, this is not what I want at the moment.

I'll give you five minutes!
After changing my clothes and sobering up, I'm going to go to Plantagenet Palace to meet King Louis before leaving.

Trish and Adele have gone back to rest, and I need a companion of sufficient status."

"Are you serious?"

A tiny flame flashed in Xia Ni's eyes. She reached out and picked up the skirt beside her to cover her beautiful body and said:

"Although Tris's proposal is very bad, I have to tell you that this may really be your only chance. You know, Murphy, although you are handsome, you are not my type."

"You're joking."

Murphy laughed.

He seemed to have heard a funny joke. As Xia Ni quickly put on her clothes behind him, he commented very gentlemanly:

"I'm not a shiny gold coin, so how can I expect everyone to like me unconditionally? In fact, I know that if there really is a list of the 'most unpopular vampires' in the world, then I will definitely be at the top with a crushing advantage.

Please don't mind Tris's little hostility.

You have to understand that being able to put my wife under pressure in terms of feminine charm is a testament to your greatness, but unfortunately, I am a bit of a 'picky eater'. When it comes to food, I can only be tempted by its color, aroma and taste.

You are still a little bit behind in this regard."

"Your answer is reassuring to me personally, but it's terrible for my female identity."

It turned out that Xia Ni's drunken appearance just now was just an act.

She had now returned to her usual calmness and indifference, even with a hint of relief, as she put on the Fallen Virtue's double-armored armor on her hands, allowing the mechanical parts of the scarlet lady's combat armor to fit her hands perfectly in a regular rhythm, and then put on the combat boots on her legs that were so slender that they had an astonishing curvature.

She glanced at Murphy and said:
"Can you explain to me where I am lacking? Maybe when I want to change my taste in the future, I can work on this aspect."

"Well, that's hard to say."

Murphy tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said:
"Tracey and Adele both knew what I wanted to do, they both knew how to act to help me, and most importantly, they shared the same goals as me, they took my ideals as their own and were willing to be my wings behind me.

I was able to keep no secrets from them.

But you yourself are a mystery, Ms. Shani, and I really don't know much about you, except what you want me to know.

But as assassins, disguise is in your nature.

I don't understand what's in your mind at all. This is why even if we have very deep contact and maintain a long-term physical relationship, we cannot touch each other's hearts. You see, this is a very simple truth.

If I just want to release my desires, Trish and Adele are enough to satisfy all my needs. However, after people have satisfied their basic needs, they always have some higher-level pursuits, right?
The same is true on an emotional level.

This is what I want to tell you too.”

He turned around and looked at Shani, who was braiding her loose hair in front of the dressing mirror. He admired her figure and said:
“You have retrieved the fallen relic of virtue that had been lost for eight hundred years. This is enough to wash away your shame and allow you to once again become the most outstanding Grand Duke in the history of the Thorn Clan. But you know that you can’t go back.

In fact, Lord Paying's evaluation of you is very accurate. Although your last name is Torize, your heart and soul have never stayed in that family for even a single night.

I think that your current desolation is not a bad thing. It gives you a chance to start over.

From now on, I will truly step into the arms of midnight as a vampire."

Shani paused.

She looked at herself in the mirror behind her. According to some legends, vampires could not see themselves in the mirror, but those rumors were obviously ridiculous. What was reflected in the mirror was an elegant woman and a confused and broken heart.

Shani didn't know how to respond to Murphy's proposal.

She was unusually hesitant and anxious.

The past time and life are like a punctured dream, leaving only a broken soul after waking up.

She stared into the mirror and seemed to see herself hiding in fear under the bed in the burning mansion all those years ago.

She is countless times stronger than she was back then.

She has climbed to the highest position of the vampire clan and become a grand duke, but it turns out that it is not someone else who has not been able to get out of the past. It is like another nightmare that she will never wake up from.

“Give yourself a chance.”

Murphy walked behind Shani as she hesitated. He put his hand on Shani's shoulder and said softly:
"Shani Romanoff. Give yourself a chance, choose your last name, and tell me who you are."

"Catherine"

Shani whispered and Murphy raised an eyebrow.

He knew that Xia Ni always called the wolf girl by this name, and only Xia Ni had the authority to call the wolf girl by her nickname.

"My real name is Katherine, 'Little Shani' is a nickname my father gave me, and that's my mother's name."

She reached out her hand and touched herself in the mirror.

she says:

"Perhaps you are right.
Oh my god, maybe you're right!
Angelina and Andrei have grown up and they no longer need me, a person destined to be forgotten.

It's time to say goodbye to the past.

Goodbye to things that only hurt me and pierce me"

Murphy smiled behind Shani, and at that moment he felt a sense of accomplishment.

I even feel that maybe I can learn from crows and make great achievements in the field of psychology.

Look!
He was so talented that he could actually help Shani resolve the knot that had been in her heart for many years. Perhaps in the future, after he stopped doing this promising job as an intern creator, he could open a psychological clinic in Scarlet Castle and maybe earn enough money to buy Tris's wine and Adele's custom bras.

But the next moment, Shani's answer brought Murphy back to reality from this weird career plan.

She turned her head to look at Murphy behind her, and the strange look in her bloodshot eyes made Murphy feel the familiar premonition that "something bad is about to happen".

Then he heard Shani say:

"Then please give me the First Embrace, so that I can bid farewell to the curse of Torreze and leave the shadow that I did not choose and never liked. When it no longer needs me, I will know that I should pack my bags and head to the midnight wilderness that I have always rejected.

Finally, I embarked on the path that I should have taken a long time ago.

Murphy, I don't have anything I want to do, maybe watching and helping you to the end can help me get a clearer answer to this question. "

"Ok?"

Murphy's eyes widened.

At this moment, he felt that his talent in psychology was too outrageous. How can it have anything to do with me if you are enlightened yourself?

"So, do you need a little courage to accept a golden-rank offspring?"

Shani laughed when she saw Murphy's dull expression. She felt that she had the upper hand again, so she tiptoed to give Murphy a not-so-gentle kiss and said:

"Don't think too much, just thank you for being a gentleman just now. I told you, you are not my type."

She reached out and untied her half-finished braid into a more stylish high ponytail, parted her hair to reveal her fair and slender neck, and said to Murphy:

"Take a bite here, bring me truly into the midnight, give me a new immortality, and allow me to witness the future. You and I both know that only when Shani Torreze 'dies' can those who still remember me unload all the baggage.

Same with me. ”

Murphy looked at Shani, but she closed her eyes.

A few seconds later, as the Vampire Governor's fangs popped out and the pain exploded on her skin, Shani acted like an uneasy girl.

She hugged Murphy tightly, trying not to resist the recovery and re-bestowal of power from the blood.

"Ah, midnight."

Amid the twitching and trembling caused by the absorption and conversion of blood, Shani lay on Murphy's shoulder and whispered in a dreamlike voice:

“Your child is finally home.”
