Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Terrified Count Dracula, an Evil Star Mops the Floor for Him?

"Blood Race?"

Yan Ruyu’s icy eyes stared at Count Dracula.

She detested these little bats.

Mainly because Reincarnation Hospital had once had its blood bank stolen from.

It was later discovered to be the work of a group from the Blood Race!

Those members of the Blood Race all ended up as fertilizer for Reincarnation Hospital.

"You..."

Count Dracula felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze.

He suddenly sensed an inexplicable threat welling up in his heart.

It felt as if he would be killed on the spot if he dared to shout again.

But the arrogant Count Dracula refused to yield to this subconscious fear.

He steeled himself and said, "What organization are you from? You have no respect for the rules."

"No matter what, Piao Dagen is a resident of Wansheng District. By abducting him without permission, are you trying to declare war on Wansheng District?"

"Tsk," Yan Ruyu scoffed disdainfully. "Declare war? With just you?"

"If it weren’t for *that person* living here, I could annihilate Wansheng District right now."

"Now, shut your mouth. Don’t shout and scream, or I’ll take you with us!"

With that, Yan Ruyu waved her hand.

The crowd of ghosts parted and moved around Count Dracula, treating him as if he were invisible.

It was clear that not a single one of them gave him any respect!

Seeing this, Count Dracula flew into a rage!

His face twisted abruptly. Blue veins surfaced on his pale skin, and two dark flames ignited in his blood-red pupils. A biting, icy aura erupted from his body!

"...You—"

Just as Count Dracula was about to erupt!

HUM!

A gaze as deep as an abyss fell upon him!

It was Yan Ruyu’s eyes, filled with killing intent!

That gaze was like a colossal beast lurking in the abyss, turning its crimson eyes upon an ant on the ocean’s surface. A single glance would make anyone tremble from the depths of their soul!

It was also like a cold blade tearing through the heavy air, a butcher sizing up livestock for the slaughter. It emanated a cruel, murderous aura that made one instinctively hold their breath!

Under her glare, his own aura was like a pond being swallowed by the vast ocean!

Instantly!

Count Dracula went silent.

’I’ll die!’

’I’ll definitely die!’

His brain was screaming at him with signals of extreme danger!

Cold sweat trickled down the side of his face, onto his coat, and then dripped slowly to the floor.

CLICK...

CLACK...

He saw the clock of flesh and blood on the terrifying woman’s forehead stop turning.

It was as if it were brewing some kind of fatal energy!

’This power... it’s not something a Crimson-robed Ghost should possess!’

’Is she... an Evil Star?’

Monstrous waves crashed in Count Dracula’s heart. His legs couldn’t help but go soft, and the ghost stood frozen in place, not daring to utter another word.

He could only watch, stunned, as Yan Ruyu and the other ghosts took Piao Dagen away.

His cheeks burned with humiliation.

’All the residents of Wansheng District must have seen that.’

It was as if he had been slapped across the face!

But no matter what, he didn’t dare to provoke Yan Ruyu!

’An Evil Star... actually came to take Piao Dagen away!’

’Why did that Piao Dagen have to provoke such a terrifying existence?’

Now, forget about saving Piao Dagen!

No one would dare stop this group of ghosts even if they took him away too!

Seeing this, the ghosts of Wansheng District didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Piao Dagen, who was being carried, had a look of utter despair.

Not even Count Dracula could save him.

Once they reached Reincarnation Hospital.

What awaited him would be Eternal Hell!

...

The audience from the Great Cold Country was in complete despair!

[So not even Count Dracula can save Piao Dagen?]

[He got scared off by a single look? What a coward!]

[Some "high-level Crimson-robed Ghost." He’s just a weakling.]

[Can’t Gu Yuan save him? If he just says the word, Yan Ruyu will definitely let him go.]

[Given how respectfully Yan Ruyu treats Gu Yuan, saving Piao Dagen would be a piece of cake. But... will he do it?]

The audience from the Great Cold Country fell silent.

Piao Dagen had repeatedly picked fights with Yun Zhenyue!

As her husband, Gu Yuan would be considered merciful for not kicking Piao Dagen himself. Why would he possibly save him?

...

Just then, as Yan Ruyu reached the third floor, Count Dracula was still standing on the fourth floor, watching them.

But suddenly!

His eyes froze!

He saw that when the group of ghosts arrived on the third floor, they started tiptoeing, not making the slightest sound, like a group of mice approaching a cat’s den.

That terrifying woman even picked up a mop.

And she mopped the floor in front of apartment 3007 until it was spotless?

The middle-aged ghost next to her even found a watering can and meticulously watered the flowers by the door.

Count Dracula stared in a daze.

’What are they doing?’

’Abducting someone for no reason is one thing.’

’But why are they also helping a resident clean up?’

Count Dracula knew the resident of 3007. His surname seemed to be Gu?

He couldn’t clearly remember the specific names of the ghosts below the fourth floor.

He had always considered them a swarm of ants.

Wansheng District has a strict hierarchy!

The residents from the first to the third floors are all weak ghosts, below the level of a Fierce Ghost.

Count Dracula had seen Gu Yuan before but hadn’t sensed any powerful energy from him at all.

’Unless Gu Yuan’s power is beyond my comprehension!’

’Otherwise, he couldn’t have hidden it so completely!’

"No... I must be overthinking things," Count Dracula murmured.

’Making an Evil Star ghost mop the floor?’

’Who could possibly command that kind of respect?!’

...

「Meanwhile, in the Shadowy Shop.」

Han Sumei was in a janitor’s uniform, cleaning the floor nonstop.

Her former co-worker, Yamada Aiko, had earned a salary at the Blood Moon Restaurant and paid off her debt.

Now, she was all alone, forced to come work at the Shadowy Shop every day.

Little did she know, it was for this very reason that she had escaped a calamity.

Just as Han Sumei was so tired her back ached, a notification came from the Matchmaking System!

[Ding! Your matched partner, Piao Dagen, has lost contact!]

[The Matchmaking System is reselecting a partner for you...]

Hearing this, Han Sumei was dumbfounded.

"Piao Dagen... lost contact?"

"Wasn’t he in the district this whole time? How could he—"

Han Sumei’s head spun, and she lost her footing, collapsing to the ground.

’In all the previous rounds of ghost matchmaking, nothing this strange has ever happened!’

’Usually, it’s the human partner who dies.’

’Their matched partners are all ghosts; it’s impossible for anything to happen to them inside the district!’

’And it’s not like Piao Dagen could have run away!’

’My plan to trick Piao Dagen and snatch Yun Zhenyue’s ghost currency hasn’t even panned out yet!’

’And now I’m getting a new partner.’

’Doesn’t that mean all the favorability I worked so hard to build up will be reset to zero, and I’ll have to start all over again?’

’Where am I going to get the ghost currency for this new partner?!’

Before Han Sumei could figure it all out, another notification from the Matchmaking System left her completely stunned.

[Ding! A new matched partner has been locked in!]

[Iron Skull Minotaur · Niu Dali]

[Please meet with your matched partner for the first time within one hour!]

A... a Minotaur?

Han Sumei’s vision went black.

She had been hoping to get a ghost like Gu Yuan!

The handsome and powerful type.

And... and this is what she got?

She originally thought the ugly Piao Dagen was already unparalleled in his hideousness!

But at least he was humanoid, right?

This new partner wasn’t even the same species!
