Chapter 132 Actually, I Want to Leave

Unfortunately, Xiang Kun didn't see the vampire or the dirty-braided girl in the parking lot's surveillance footage. It seemed highly likely that they didn't drive here themselves, but came by plane or train and then took a taxi to the pedestrian street.

With sympathetic gazes and comforting words from the three security guards, Xiang Kun left the parking lot. He didn't linger and planned to head back overnight – taking a taxi for long-distance travel at night was too expensive. Having good stamina, he viewed it as targeted training…

As for the vampire and the female hacker behind “Kasumi of August” , Xiang Kun decided to let it go.

He was rather disappointed. If he was on official duty with government support, he believed he could quickly identify the true identity of the vampire.

However, there was nothing to be upset about now. Anyway, he knew more about the other party than they knew about him.

He could try to explore their real identity by the information he had.

He even thought about whether he could report the others' identities to the police directly when discovered. After all, considering their online conversation, there was a high possibility that they had killed someone. If the police conducted a thorough investigation, they could potentially uncover some evidence.

But on one hand, he could use this opportunity to indirectly “observe” how the authorities treated the existence of vampires. On the other hand, if the authorities didn't have much information about vampires beforehand, they might misjudge their social harm. If they thought all vampires were serial killers who only drink fresh human blood, Xiang Kun, the “law-abiding” vampire who obediently drinks animal blood, might get inconvenienced.

In the case of insufficient samples, both the public and the authorities could judge a whole group based on a few examples.

If Xiang Kun was leading the vampire group, he would probably instruct everyone to drink only animal blood. Then cooperate with the authorities, hand in hand, harmoniously developing and progressing together. Anyone who dared to drink human blood would be dealt with together by them and the police…

Of course, these were just random thoughts. Xiang Kun didn't want to lead anyone, nor did he believe he could. He wished to blend into society as a human, not standing out, not being noticed.

Moreover, he had a hunch that vampires, or all mutant creatures similar to him, might not be able to form a “group” at all. They seemed to have a natural instinct to attack and devour each other, like it was an instinct driven by their cells and genes.

While his mind was wandering, a thought suddenly crossed Xiang Kun's mind:

Doesn't the person crossing the road more than a hundred meters away look familiar?

He instinctively wanted to take another look, but immediately remembered something and forcibly controlled his neck to prevent himself from turning around. His neck muscles tensed up, almost causing a muscle spasm.

Recalling the image he glimpsed, the slicked-back hair, the suit, the leather shoes, even though they were far away, Xiang Kun couldn't clearly see his face even with his excellent eyesight, but the overall impression quickly reminded him of the vampire walking in front of the dirty-braided girl on the convenience store's surveillance footage.

Did this guy actually come back to the pedestrian street?

At this distance, Xiang Kun couldn't smell him, but he didn't dare to get any closer.

Because even though the other party hadn't seen him and wouldn't recognize him, they might possess the same keen sense of smell, especially the special sensory perception that should exist between vampires and mutants, making them more sensitive to each other's scent.

So Xiang Kun planned to first inconspicuously move away, then circle back and try to observe the other party from a safe distance.

However, after Xiang Kun walked a dozen meters or so, he noticed through the rear-view mirror of a parked car that the slicked-back haired man had stopped in his tracks after crossing the street, staring straight in his direction.

WHAT? Impossible, right? I can't even smell him from this distance, what makes him able to smell me first??

There's no way, I'm not upwind, and there's hardly any wind right now, the scent can't spread that fast!

Xiang Kun's pace didn't falter, he didn't look back, continuing to walk ahead nonchalantly.

He had just left the pedestrian street not long ago and was familiar with the nearby terrain. His mind instantly came up with several escape routes and subsequent plans.

However, he was still holding a sliver of hope, believing that the other party was looking in his direction but was not looking at him.

However, not long after turning a corner and crossing a street, Xiang Kun realized through the reflection on the advertising board and the direction of the footsteps that the slicked-back haired man was catching up.

He really is following me!

How did he figure me out?

Did he just lock onto me with a single glance?

There's no way the smell could have reached him that fast!

Does he recognize my face?

That doesn't make sense!

I focused all my attention to scrutinize for half the afternoon and then concocted so many stories to finally catch a glimpse of their images in the surveillance footage, knowing their approximate appearances, so how did they recognize me?

Xiang Kun suddenly remembered. Earlier when he returned to the pedestrian street, he was sure that the other party must have left, feeling stood up, so he confidently searched for clues in various shops.

But what if the dirty-braided female hacker still had control over the surveillance cameras remotely?

For example, in that western restaurant, he used the excuse of looking for something to deceive the service staff and other people in the restaurant. But to the vampire and the dirty-braided girl, that behavior was certainly suspicious.

Because they saw his abnormal behavior in the surveillance footage, did the vampire rush over?

No wonder he managed to identify me from over a hundred meters away!

So they never really left this city, or even strayed far from the pedestrian street, and continue to “lie in wait”?

What the hell! Is it that bad?

Should I run immediately? He could be 99-9% certain that the big slicked-back haired vampire has ill intentions towards him, most likely wanting to drink his blood.

Following his usual modus operandi, he doesn't engage in battles without preparation. In a situation where he doesn't know anything about the other party's capabilities and other information, retreating strategically first and then making long-term considerations would be the reasonable choice.

However, after confirming that the other party had identified him, all of Xiang Kun's previous tension suddenly disappeared. He inexplicably entered an extremely calm state, his senses continuously collecting information from his surroundings while his brain analyzed all possibilities.

He knew this was because his body and mind were both in a state of extreme excitement, with his physical functions and brain operating at peak efficiency.

This was his body signaling that it was ready for combat..
