The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 178

So much so that when he was chosen by the Spier Group and underwent reformation, his already numb heart remained completely unmoved.

The Spier Group's so-called "lifetime employment contract" is nothing more than a cannibalistic contract that completely exploits the value of its employees, but Alexei doesn't care at all.

For him, this was a job he could do until retirement or die in battle, a job that could slightly alleviate the pain in his confused mind.

He actually didn't care about the grudges between humans and demons at all. As mentioned above, this person had long since become a machine that only carried out orders. He gave himself a high-sounding reason, in the name of destroying his homeland and in the name of slaying demons, turning a blind eye to all the group's atrocities and acting as an accomplice to evil, just to calm his heart through one killing order after another.

...

For Ludwig, turning such simple-minded, inflexible people into devoted servants was all too easy.

In recent days, Ludwig has been sneaking into the underground prison every day during the time when the vampires are asleep to give Alexei "psychological counseling." In addition, she also gives instructions to the blood golems while they are sleeping, which is why she always looks sleepy lately.

[Hehe, Mr. Petrenko... I actually understand your pain.]

You have lost your faith, therefore you suffer; you have lost your purpose, therefore you are lost.

Listen, the power within you, the power that originates from our vampire race, is constantly calling to you.

Come, accept it, embrace it.

I can be your only faith, relieving your suffering; I can also give you new goals, dispelling your confusion...

As your queen, I will fill every empty corner of your heart... Every moment you submit to me, you will feel immense fulfillment and happiness.

【I am sincerely inviting you to step into the Eternal Night Hall, which belongs only to vampires.】

...

Now, if Coco were to follow Ludwig into the prison, what would come into view is this old soldier who is tied to a chair and unable to move.

His clothes were tattered, indicating that he had been tortured and injured over the past few days under a combination of kindness and severity. Although they had long since healed thanks to the self-healing abilities of an evolved being.

He saw Ludwig come before him again, and his expression immediately turned one of shock and anger. He struggled to speak:

"I...won't listen to your...spiritual lies!"

...

Coco asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, you call this 'smooth'?"

Ludwig laughed: "Of course. Don't forget, I never need to ask the vampires for their consent to submit. I've been using both soft and hard tactics on him these past few days just to leave a deep impression on him—the Queen of the Night."

"Then, when he is transformed into a vampire, his impression of me will naturally transform into reverence and loyalty, replacing the long-faded, non-existent homeland in his mind..."

"Hehe, this is to ensure that he doesn't become an idiot after the forced conversion. After all, it is precisely because I need his combat power and the intelligence within the group that I decided to subdue him."

The silver-haired girl casually uttered words that sounded terrifying to onlookers, even though the only "onlooker" at the moment was Alexei, the person involved.

"What are you going to do, monster! You're going to kill me—"

He roared incoherently.

"I am... a glorious Bolshevik! I would never..."

...

Om-!

With a snap of her fingers, Ludwig quickly sealed his mouth, nose, and eyes with black vines, rendering him unable to make a sound.

"Still deceiving yourself, how pathetic."

She abandoned her usual flippant and playful tone, giving the elderly soldier a cold glance.

"Your actions have already disgraced the motherland and organization you speak of. Bolshevik? Let's not allow that word and the countless heroes it represents to be unjustly insulted."

"Everything you know, all the martial arts you possess—will be at my disposal as you are reborn, to participate in the great cause of overthrowing the corporation and saving the vampire clan."

"In truth, I, the Queen, do not care about your past."

She smiled coldly.

"Because the memories I have carefully woven will replace them. After the Embrace, you will forget those painful memories and forget everything from the past. I, the Queen of Eternal Night, will become your new faith and spiritual anchor. You will be completely transformed into a vampire and will be loyal to me for all eternity."

The girl's eyes glowed with a blood-red light, and the queen's powerful force, under her skillful manipulation, seeped into Alexei's mind without any hindrance, cleanly and decisively altering his consciousness.

She walked up to Alexei and slashed her wrist. Blood flowed down her pale palm to her slender fingers, dripping from her fingertips and into Alexei's mouth, which was being pried open by black vines.

"Gulp... Ugh—!!!"

The blood of the vampire queen was used as the medium for the Embrace, which completely amplified the "Evolver's Blood" within him that was almost impossible to suppress. This blood energy, which was originally stolen from vampires, was quickly assimilated by the real vampire blood and perfectly integrated into his newborn blood.

Before long, Alexei stopped struggling in pain. A few minutes later, his body was successfully transformed into a vampire.

In Ludwighilian

After days of torture, Ludwig injected all of the evolved serum he carried into his body to rapidly heal his body...

The overdose of this dangerous drug had caused the concentration of his blood energy to have already exceeded the critical point, and he was just one step away from Ludwig's "final push".

About ten minutes later, Ludwig's mental control had completely permeated his mind.

She raised her hand and flicked it, causing all the black mist vines that were binding him to dissipate.

...

Ludwig stretched and yawned.

"Alright, Coco, he'll be your new teammate from now on. Remember to take care of him, okay?"

Coco stared at Alexei with a complicated expression, momentarily at a loss for how to greet him.

Coco wouldn't be frightened by this forced subjugation method, after all, the values ​​of vampires are different from those of humans.

She still harbored resentment towards this former enemy, after all, Alexei had caused them considerable trouble. What if Ludwig's brainwashing wasn't complete...?

...

Alexei had seemingly been transformed back into a young man by the vampire's mysterious power of rejuvenation. His angular, weathered face was no more.

"hiss..."

He opened his eyes, stood up, and his blood-red pupils remained unchanged from before.

He glanced at the two people in front of him, then solemnly knelt down before the silver-haired queen.

“Alexei Petrenko swears to serve Her Majesty the Queen of the Night to the death. Please forgive my previous disrespect.”

Ludwig smiled and said to Ruoke:

"See, I told you Coco didn't need to worry."

She then looked at Alexei.

"What would you like to say about having the opportunity to pledge your loyalty to me?"

Alexei raised his head, his eyes filled with reverence and boundless fervor.

"It is an honor to serve the Vampire Queen!"

His words were resounding, and his demeanor, which had previously resembled that of someone in their twilight years, was now vigorous and full of fighting spirit.

Perhaps this is what he looked like when he was young, as his memories were reshaped along with his body, and thus reappeared.

Ludwig yawned repeatedly, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

"Aww... This queen should go back to sleep now, I'm so sleepy."

She pointed to the brown-haired maid beside her:

"This is your new direct supervisor. Ask her if you have any questions. I have high hopes for you, Alexei."

...

After Ludwig finished speaking, she quickly turned into black mist and disappeared.

Before Coco could decide what to do, her expression complicated, Alexei immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"I apologize, Miss Ruo, for my previous offense! By order of the Queen, I will now follow your instructions. Please give your orders!"

...

If Coco is speechless for a moment, she can only facepalm.

"Lulu...can you please stop dumping this job of greeting new employees on me?!"

Chapter 200 Never to Return

"What?! Lochina is missing?"

For reasons that cannot be explained, Yin Shang slept for a whole day before waking up looking exhausted and with a splitting headache.

He stared blankly at Ruo Keke in front of him, and... the "acquaintance" who looked decades younger next to her.

His jaw nearly dropped: "Alexei?!"

...

...

...

After a lengthy explanation, Yin Shang, who was completely bewildered, finally managed to get a general idea of ​​what had happened.

"You, me, Solid, and this new recruit Alexei will form a rescue team to rescue Lochina?"

If Coco agrees, "That's roughly it. Alexei knows the group's internal intelligence and understands the Strategist's modus operandi, which is why Her Majesty decided to recruit him. With him around, perhaps they can deduce Lochina's whereabouts."

Alexei said, "That's true, but before I pledged allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, I was unaware that the group had any plans to kidnap Lochina. Perhaps it was a spur-of-the-moment decision..."

Yin Shang said, "That's why Ludwig immediately dispatched the Blood Shadow Force to conduct comprehensive surveillance around the Group Island and the Cathedral of the Church. If the Strategist or Lochina approached either of these places, we would know immediately. At least for now, the Strategist has not taken her directly back to the Group Island. More likely, he is waiting for an opportunity to make a deal with the Church."

Ruo Keke said, "That's right."

. "

She turned and left without stopping, gesturing for the two to follow.

"Alright, you and Alexei are new members of the vampire clan, and you are still not very familiar with your bodies and blood energy... It is also the maid's job to receive new members. Come with me to the training ground. As one of the few combat personnel who can be spared, you must not let each other down at this critical moment."

She paused.

"By the way, Alexei. The Queen doesn't expect you to find Lochina and the strategist. She took you in because of your outstanding combat skills and understanding of the corporation. There will eventually be a full-scale war between our vampires and the corporation, and at that time, you will play a crucial role."

Alexei bowed solemnly and said, "Yes, Captain Ruo Keke, I will not fail the Queen's expectations!"

...

Yin Shang glanced at Alexei, still feeling uneasy.

The vampire queen... she actually possesses the power to completely change a person's will and make them submit wholeheartedly?

All vampires are powerless against the Queen's spiritual control, becoming fanatical believers under her absolute will...

Yin Shang swallowed hard.

Ludwig could have easily transformed him into the loyal figure of Alexei, but she didn't. Yin Shang could never understand Ludwig's unconventional way of thinking, nor could he comprehend her intentions.

But he was beginning to understand why the new vampires outside, incited by the corporation, were so terrified of the vampire queen and her royal court...

Although for vampires, there is no harm in submitting to the queen.

"Wait, Miss Maid."

Yin Shang called out to her.

"Since that rather shrewd queen doesn't expect Alexei to find Lochina, what's the point of forming this 'rescue team'? Just to wander around aimlessly?"

Coco rolled her eyes at him: "Is there any need to say more? Obviously, this rescue team is not just a few of us."

"She went to find a teammate who could pinpoint Lochina's location 100%."

"As for who it is, I don't know. Now, just focus on completing the devilish training I've prepared for you."

...

...

...

at the same time.
