Chapter 312: Chapter 193: July 20th, Fireworks on the Overpass
July 12, early in the morning.
After Ke Mingye and An Renchuan each had removed their combat suits at the secret base, they met at Hongdeng Commercial Street, had breakfast, and then took a walk before parting ways.
Ke Mingye took a taxi back to the Old Jingmai District, rode the elevator, and arrived on the 12th floor of the duplex apartment building.
As the elevator doors opened, he stepped out of the car and looked up from the screen of his phone.
Bai Ziling was standing alone at the entrance of the corridor, daydreaming. Her profile was like the empty gaze of a port during the autumn equinox, looking at the sky. The sky was faintly luminous, with the soft and hazy morning light filtering through the dust-covered windows and falling on her pale cheeks.
Ke Mingye stared at the silhouette of the girl with white hair, paused for a moment, put away his phone, and asked.
“Up so early?”
“You woke me up. And then… I was waiting for you to come home.”
Bai Ziling said, turning her head, with her white skirt gently swaying.
“Waiting for me for what? Couldn’t you just go back to sleep?” he asked.
“Travel.”
“Huh?” Ke Mingye was puzzled by this abrupt statement.
“I want to travel,” Bai Ziling murmured softly, tilting her head slightly, her snow-white strands of hair leaning by her ear, “but dad and mom won’t agree.”
“Uh… so, you want me to take you?”
“Mhm.”
Bai Ziling nodded, lifting her gaze from the snowy locks of hair.
Those red eyes, as if covered with a layer of mist, remained fixed on Ke Mingye, as though waiting for his response.
Hearing this, Ke Mingye thought for a brief moment.
Truthfully, he could say with certainty that Gastella must have placed tightly fitting surveillance at strategic places around Huanjing, such as airport ticket inspectors and port fishermen.
Otherwise, why would Gastella so blatantly declare the arrival of the Blood Clan Hunters in the city?
The eerie speech she controlled, spoken by hundreds of people, might sound nonsensical to ordinary people, but it served as a clear signal to vampires.
The reaction from Bai Ziling showed as much.
She was so scared that she trembled and hid in her room, refusing to come out.
From this, it could be inferred that those words might act like a sort of hunter’s spell specifically for vampires, containing magic power to intimidate the Blood Clan. And Gastella was precisely using this spell to signal to the white-haired vampire hiding in the city, telling her: We are here, there is nowhere for you to hide.
And naturally, Gastella would anticipate that the white-haired vampire, upon receiving this threatening signal, would likely try to find a way to flee the city out of fear.
Thus, she would naturally place spies at all the city’s exits and, like an experienced hunter, patiently wait for her prey to take the bait.
Moreover, Bai Ziling’s features were very conspicuous: white hair, red eyes. Even with a wig and contact lenses, those vampire hunters might still be able to identify her with some kind of device.
So, taking Bai Ziling out of town openly wasn’t very feasible — it might even play right into Gastella’s hands.

Otherwise, Ke Mingye would have done so long ago.
If what Gastella said was true, then once the 30 days were up, the Blood Clan Oath on her would automatically activate, ending her life, fragile as a candle in the wind.
And all Ke Mingye needed to do was keep making excuses to his family, continuing to flee with Bai Ziling to a distant land. Once Gastella was dead, those who followed her, the Blood Clan Hunters, probably wouldn’t persist in searching for the white-haired vampire.
If, by that time, they still refused to give up, that would be good for Ke Mingye as well.
Once Gastella was dead, Ke Mingye no longer needed to worry about his “player identity” being exposed.
Besides, the remaining vampire hunters were nothing compared to the monsters accompanying him. If all else failed, he could always have Bai Zini invite Xizi Yue to execute a dimensionality reduction strike.
Of course… Ke Mingye had also considered that since he himself could not take Bai Ziling out of the city, he might entrust this task to other family members.
Firstly, his father and mother were unlikely candidates. They had just returned from a trip to London, England, not long ago, and his father was too occupied with Superhero Association matters to be spared.
Therefore, it naturally fell to his brother and sister.
Among the siblings, his eldest and second brothers were naturally the most suitable.
If Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo took Bai Ziling out of the city, even the most powerful vampire hunters should not be able to handle this monstrous duo.
But the problem still existed, which was allowing his eldest and second brothers to come into direct contact with Gastella, who might possibly reveal clues about other players to them.
That meant, Ke Mingye would likely expose his own identity.
Honestly, the last thing Ke Mingye wanted to see was Gastella falling into his eldest brother’s hands.
The Black Judge understood the system’s rules and could likely make Gastella divulge information about other players without breaching the rule of death.
And with the investigative skills of the Black Judge, once he obtained information from Gastella, there was a ninety percent chance that Ke Mingye’s player identity would be revealed.
Therefore, he was not very keen on involving his overly astute father and eldest brother in this matter.
