We were standing in front of a hotel. It looks like a shady, illegal, criminal head out instead of a place to stay. I asked the girl again for confirmation.
"Is this the place you were talking about?"
She nodded her head lightly.
’Fuck, now I have to stay at such a place.’
"Well, now we are here, let’s head inside."
I walked inside, leading the way. When I entered, the place was filled with the stench. Making breathing harder. Inside, many people sat on tables drinking whatever cheap liquor this place serves, many women wearing revealing clothes, surviving them.
I looked at the girl who was hiding behind the woman. As I was thinking of leaving, a woman wearing... well, forget her clothes, they were as good as not being, approached us.
She looked at the Little girl and asked her in a caring tone.
"Xiao Yu, where have you been? I was so concerned about you."
But before the girl could reply, another group of people entered the brothel. Amid this group, there was another person wearing a black hood.
’Are these Blood Demon Sect people crazy wearing such a dress in public?’
Seeing this new group of people, this woman took three of us to the above floor, hiding from these guys’ eyes. I, too, cooperated a bit because I have a feeling something big is going on here.
The woman took us into a small room before closing the door behind us. Before speaking in a low voice.
"I don’t know much about you, and you aren’t a local here either. Just stay inside this room until I come back. Don’t leave the room, or it may be dangerous for you all."
She quickly left the room, closing the door behind her.
’What the hell was wrong with this woman. Trusting us so quickly, could she be planning something? Well, whatever, let’s take a nap first. I will deal with whatever comes next.’
I went straight to the single bed in the room, lying down on it, with little Black.
At midnight, I stood up I saw the woman and girl lying on the floor. I walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind me.
’Now, where can I find a washroom?’
As I was looking for the washroom, I heard a scream from one of the rooms. Not those lewd ones like from others, but truly painful. I decided to take a look at what’s really going on.
I open the door of the room where the scream came from, and a typical brothel view came into my eyes, a woman and that black robe man from below were on the bed, but instead of doing the usual brothel stuff. Instead, the man had bitten on the woman’s chest, blood flowing out from the wound and his mouth covered in blood.
Seeing such a disgusting side, I almost vomited. Without even looking at the man again, I threw a fire at him.
Once fire touched this demon, he didn’t even have time to scream as the fire burned him to ashes in a flash. After I dealt with the guy, I let the fire surround the room and the woman before extinguishing it.
When the fire vanished, the whole room turned into new, with no ashes or burned smell, not even a single drop of blood left. I turned to the woman before quickly turning my gaze and walking out of the room. Leaving behind a few words.
"Whatever you saw here, don’t tell anyone till the morning, because I don’t like it when people disturb my sleep."
I closed the door behind me before quickly opening it again.
"Do you know where the washroom is?"
I looked inside, and she was still sitting on the bed, covering her body with a white blanket.
"Hey, hey... are deaf."
This time, she came out of her earlier shock and quickly replied.
"It is on the ground floor."
I closed the door again. But as I was closing the door, she spoke a few more words.
I turned around and left. Going to the washroom.
A few minutes later, when I came back, the woman and the girl were still sleeping, and Little Black, as usual, half asleep, lay lazily on the bed. I went to bed with a light step before lying down and drifting into some good dreams far away from today’s disgusting events.
We all sat in the same room with a woman who took us here at night, also sitting here.
"I found Xiao Yu when she was 5 years old. I don’t know anything about her parents. I took her with me. Since then, she has been staying with me."
After hearing about the girl’s sad story, I looked at this woman and decided to get some useful information instead of a sad story.
"Tell me, something about the blood demon sect and what these people are doing here."
"You... how do you know about them?"
With the woman’s reaction, at least I know that she knows something.
"Stop wasting my time, tell me about them, whatever you know."
"Around 3 years ago, these people appeared here. I don’t know much about what they want to do. But they always come here and take a few people away, and... they feed on their blood."
"Oh, do you know how many people are there in total?"
I asked the woman. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
"I don’t know, clearly, but there have been 13 different people who have come here."
I thought for a bit about what to do next before deciding to leave this place, cause this problem will cost too much time. Delaying my world exploration journey.
"Well, I want to tell you a few things."
The woman nodded quickly.
"First, I will take this girl with me, and second, I will give you a task."
I looked at her for a bit more before explaining to her about the mission.
