98: Believers in the West, it’s time to make a pilgrimage

Yang Dian was still taken along by the two.

Or rather, he had two hangers-on trailing behind him.

Behind those two hangers-on were two teams from the Wuan General Bureau, openly laughing, holding various snacks, and looking more like tourists than surveillance personnel.

So, the joys and sorrows of people truly are not the same.

Just as Yang Dian was wondering whether to speed up and shake off the two, his portable glasses detector, which had been on, stirred.

He stared at the email icon flashing in the corner of the lens for a moment.

Two seconds later, the detector, capturing Yang Dian's pupil movement, automatically enlarged the email, converting it into a series of images and text.

The story of William and Artoria gradually unfolded before Yang Dian's eyes.

It was a somewhat clichéd Western fantasy story.

William's Family was an Earl's Family in England, with a Legacy spanning two hundred years.

One day, the old Earl Awakened a precognitive talent.

While foreseeing the future, he accidentally overexerted himself, burning himself out.

Before he died, he told William what he had seen of the future, urging William to prepare early.

Unfortunately, his dying words were overheard in fragments by his butler.

The butler happened to be a mole from another Duke's Family, planted in the Earl's household.

To obtain accurate future information, the Duke's Family began to hunt William.

During the pursuit, William was severely wounded, but he ultimately escaped, hiding in the dense forest, where he coincidentally encountered Artoria practicing her sword.

Alas, William's injuries were too severe.

He died not long after Artoria found him.

Artoria, being kind-hearted, dug a grave and buried him.

The next day, she bought a bouquet of chrysanthemums to pay her respects, but upon arriving, she found the grave dug open, and around it lay a pile of animal carcasses, drained of blood.

Following the animal carcasses, she saw William, resurrected from the dead.

Long, slender canines had grown in William's mouth, and he was hunched over the neck of a white deer, sucking its blood.

'William had become a vampire, like those in legends.'

'She, Artoria, had saved a vampire who would bring disaster to the world.'

Whether due to mental shock or other reasons, Artoria Awakened the power of Holy Light.

The power of Holy Light amplified Artoria's knightly creed; she viewed William as evil and began to hunt him.

William's strength greatly increased after his Awakening.

During Artoria's pursuit, he infiltrated the Duke's ancient castle, killed the Duke's entire Family who had been hunting him, then fled England and escaped to Germany.

Unfortunately, William didn't possess the 'human radar' ability, so he didn't completely wipe out the Family.

News of him obtaining future information spread.

There was almost no place for him in Western Europe.

America was full of people who would devour him whole.

Other places weren't strong enough to offer him sufficient refuge.

So, he finally turned his gaze to The East.

He would use future information as a bargaining chip to gain protection.

However, William wasn't foolish.

He didn't reveal the entire future.

He only spoke of a part of the future, such as when and where major disasters would occur.

He didn't mention any opportunities, leaving himself some leverage.

Finally, the email also stated that the future is not set in stone, but rather holds infinite possibilities.

For instance, the old Earl hadn't 'seen' William being hunted after his own death.

Therefore, the predicted future could only be used as a reference.

But even so, the higher-ups still assigned Yang Dian a mission.

It was to extract as much future information as possible from William.

After reading the information, Yang Dian turned and shifted his gaze to William:

"So, in the future information you received, was I mentioned?"

William shook his head:

"I am not my father."

"I cannot see visions of the future; I only received some information about the future from my father's mouth."

"All future visions have ascended to Heaven with my father."

"Only God knows."

Yang Dian was speechless:

"Then why are you following me?"

William looked at the Little Black Cat sitting upright on Yang Dian's shoulder, his eyes complex:

"I used to have a black cat too."

"It, like this one, had a pair of captivating silver eyes."

"It was my best friend."

Recalling the image of William's castle being engulfed in flames in the email earlier, Yang Dian felt a bit pained.

"Your ability to gain its approval is enough to prove that you are a very good person."

"I like to make friends with good people."

Yang Dian felt even more pained.

If it weren't for the impropriety in public, he would have wanted to adjust himself and then shove William's face.

"Besides that reason, it must be her, right?"

Yang Dian looked at Artoria beside him.

"Because she said you would die alone, you want to prove you're not lonely?"

William was silent for a moment.

"I just want to prove that I am not evil."

"I killed the Nant Duke's Family only for revenge."

"Sucking the blood of those animals was also an instinctive action of my body, driven by the instinct to survive."

"Other than that, I have not done anything evil."

Yang Dian agreed.

In his view, this indeed didn't count as evil.

William, on the other side, had the same thought.

He looked at Artoria and said seriously:

"I should not be called evil."

"After I die, I should go to Heaven."

Artoria seemed to have facial paralysis, her expression unchanging:

"Vampires are evil itself."

"I am not a vampire!"

William was a bit helpless:

"I have never consumed human blood."

"Animal lives are also lives!"

Good heavens.

Is this 'Aho-ge King' also an animal rights activist?

Politically a bit too correct.

'Holy Light... Heaven... Knightly creed... Future information... A vampire who wants to be a good person...'

Various pieces of information flashed through Yang Dian's mind, eventually forming into a figure with straight legs, glowing brightly, and white wings gently fanning behind him, like an angel descended to earth.

Sun Yuwei's Angel Form

'What a coincidence.'

'Sun Yuwei just became an angel, and a believer from The West has arrived.'

'The mission from the higher-ups is saved.'

Thinking of this, Yang Dian gave a look to the two teams behind him who were watching the show.

The two team leaders exchanged glances, then waved their hands backward, and immediately, Martial Security Bureau members came before William and Artoria.

Yang Dian took the opportunity to approach the two leaders.

"Yang Dian, a Second-Level Peacekeeper from the Fuzhou Paranormal Management Bureau."

"I came to Chengdu to get a super weapon."

Hearing the words 'super weapon', the two men's pupils suddenly constricted.

Clearly, they understood the value of a super weapon.

"Wang Fei, Deputy Captain of the Third Squad, Seventh Brigade, Wuan General Bureau."

"Cui Zhigang, Captain of the Second Squad, Seventh Brigade, Wuan General Bureau."

After a brief introduction, Cui Zhigang spoke first:

"What can we do for you, senior?"

"Regarding them." Yang Dian looked back at William and Artoria:

"I have some ideas and need to contact my superiors."

The two exchanged glances again, then said:

"Please wait a moment, we will contact the higher-ups now..."
