For thousands of years, wherever there were humans, there was politics and war. The legends of vampires and Werewolves were merely tales heard in passing, existing only as unusable data in the mind. However, unexpectedly, this time in the cycle, he found himself playing an unknown role in these so-called legends.
If this was a game designed long ago by the Wise Prophet, then what piece was he?
The most intelligent and manipulative humans in history had become a weak group under the protection of Elder Zombies in this century. Due to the evolution of viruses and genetic mixing, humanity was heading down a path of extinction akin to the creatures of Ancient Times.
Yet vampires would not allow humanity to perish, for until they found the super serum, they still relied on humans for the resources needed for sustenance and for breeding Werewolf slaves—humans who had been blacklisted under the Human Eradication Plan.
Thus, vampires would conduct purges against the Beast Werewolves, who were thoughtless, brutal, and disorganized in the eyes of their pure-blooded kind, on the night before a full moon.
When Xiao Qiang appeared in this cycle, it coincided with their successful purge. However, he found it strange that if it was indeed a purge, why were there still Werewolves outside? Moreover, one had attacked Han Shaoyu's daughter, Cold Star.
Though small as a sparrow, it had all its organs; Xiao Qiang observed that within this suffocating vampire castle, everything except sunlight was present. These Outsider vampires, having crossed great distances, held themselves in high regard due to their special status and looked down upon the weak local humans. They lived long in dark and damp spaces; even when sunlight shone brightly outside, the castle remained eerie and devoid of warmth.
Cunning Han Shaoyu was indeed scheming; he made Xiao Qiang witness a spectacle where Werewolves feasted on human flesh. The one consuming human blood and flesh was none other than the young man Xiao Yu, who had brushed past him and Cold Star.
Cold Star informed Xiao Qiang that Xiao Yu was being groomed by Han Shaoyu to become a Werewolf leader. However, this leader could only serve as a slave within the castle because he wore a deadly collar.
Xiao Qiang watched alongside many different levels of vampires as the new Wolf Leader Xiao Yu performed.
A group of blindfolded humans was forcibly placed into an indestructible iron cage. Soon after, Xiao Yu appeared; at Han Shaoyu's suggestion, a vampire helped him remove his collar and brutally pushed him into the cage filled with humans.
Watching Xiao Yu undergo painful transformation resonated deeply with Xiao Qiang; at that moment, it felt as if he himself were transforming—his pores became sensitive. His blood surged, muscles twitched, and his face darkened.
Fortunately, Cold Star discreetly pulled him back to reality; he realized he was merely an observer. However, Xiao Qiang found it odd that witnessing Xiao Yu's transformation triggered such a strange magnetic sensation within him.
Transformed, Xiao Yu revealed a terrifyingly sharp mouth. Despite this, he seemed to resist the primal urge to feed on blood. He pressed himself against the side of the iron cage, refusing to bite the human who was trembling in fear.
Han Shaoyu's piercing eyes glared angrily at Xiao Yu.
An Intermediate Vampire had already picked up a whip and lashed it at Xiao Yu.
Forced into a corner, Xiao Yu roared, opening his gaping maw and glaring with eyes like lanterns as he lunged toward the cowering human huddled in the corner.
Amidst the splatter of blood, these seemingly weak humans had successfully evolved into a new generation of Werewolves. They would one day pledge their loyalty to Han Shaoyu, who had granted them eternal life and extraordinary abilities.
The castle resembled a layered Ant Nest, with countless iron cages imprisoning innumerable Werewolves. They were the evolution of humanity and the mad creation of Han Shaoyu.
Xiao Qiang suddenly realized that his purpose for being here was not coincidental; it was necessary. These Werewolves needed him. With a mysterious antidote, he could restore them from Werewolves back to humans. Although they would eventually age and die, that was merely a natural phenomenon.
"In the chain of survival among living beings, once you go against the laws of nature, the outcome is always disastrous," Xiao Qiang said to Cold Star while closely observing her expression.
However, Cold Star's thoughts were elsewhere; she was thinking of someone. Suddenly looking up at Xiao Qiang, she said, "Han Shaoyu told me that I am his only heir and will inherit the position of Elder Zombie in the future."
"And then?"
"Have you heard of the love story between Werewolves and vampires?"
"With my limited knowledge, I haven't." Xiao Qiang seemed to understand something and asked, "Do you like Xiao Yu?"
"Mm."
"Does your father know?"
Cold Star shook his head. "Father likes Xiao Yu, but he is just using him."
"With so many werewolves, why does your father only like Xiao Yu?" Xiao Qiang asked, puzzled.
"Xiao Yu wasn't always a werewolf. His bloodline is pure; he is neither a werewolf nor a vampire. He possesses an ability that ordinary people do not have, but it is not the super serum race that Father needs."
"If he has this ability, why did he become a werewolf?"
"Once he enters this castle, he has to be of some use! If he isn't turned into a werewolf, Father won't be able to control him."
"Can you tell me how he fell into your hands?"
"I don't know. Father brought back a baby after a surrounding capture. That's all I know. Actually, I want to know the mystery of his origins too."
"Alright." As Xiao Qiang listened to Cold Star recounting Xiao Yu's situation, he unknowingly felt a twinge of sadness. Was it out of sympathy or shared suffering? He couldn't quite figure it out.
"Can I ask you something?" Cold Star stood up but didn't leave immediately; instead, he looked at him seriously and asked.
Xiao Qiang noticed that Cold Star's eyes were a deep blue, like an ocean. "What is it?"
"How old are you really?"
"Guess."
"Older than Xiao Yu?"
"How old is Xiao Yu?"
"Based on his baby years, he's exactly 30."
"I'm older than him..." Xiao Qiang didn't want the other person to know his actual age; that would be problematic. However, hearing her mention Xiao Yu's age made him slightly startled. Thirty? Wasn't that the same as the data from when he reincarnated?
The slaves had a multitude of tasks to complete every day, and the tedious labor left them physically and mentally exhausted. At night, they forged weapons for the Vampire Family, and during the day, they provided protection for them.
Luca was Cold Star's personal maid and also served as a military advisor. She didn't like Xiao Qiang getting too close to Cold Star. She always found reasons to keep them apart, while someone was well aware that she had mistaken her target but was content to enjoy the leisure.
But he was mistaken; in this perilous castle, things were not as simple as he imagined.
