Chapter 254 The Riddler's Prophecy
While the housekeeper was leading a group of people to swat mosquitoes, Shen Cheng and the other two had already returned to the headquarters on the island in the middle of the lake.

In order to avoid being rescued too late when encountering danger, the three of them stayed directly in the headquarters building.

Shen Cheng came to the room arranged by Yi Xu for him. After making sure that there was no surveillance or listening equipment in the room, he took out the Eternal Blood he was carrying with him.

Even if it was only a quarter of its original size, the blood in his hand would be as big as a goose egg.

However, this is mixed with Gongye Si's source blood, and there is actually not that much eternal blood.

Flames began to emerge from the palm of Shen Cheng's hand, burning the source blood mixed in it.

Although this source blood can be absorbed, it is equivalent to a mosquito leg to Shen Cheng. There is no need to take the risk to take advantage of this small advantage.

Soon, all the source blood was burned up, leaving only the eternal blood that remained safe and sound in the flames. There was about an amount of the eternal blood that was as large as a bottle cap, which was almost the same as the eternal blood that Shen Cheng had absorbed so far.

The Eternal Blood is worthy of the word "eternal". Tianxuanxing once conducted an experiment and found that no matter what method she used, she could not destroy the Eternal Blood.

This kind of blood will not increase with strength like source blood, but it will also never decrease.

Shen Cheng put away the refined Eternal Blood again.

Other vampires can absorb the Eternal Blood directly, but Shen Cheng cannot. His body is now in a state of a mixture of Eternal Blood and Dragon Blood, making him half vampire and half demon. If he wants to absorb it, he can only go back to Tianxuan Star to perform surgery on himself.

bang bang!

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Cheng walked over and opened the door, and found an unfamiliar vampire standing outside.

"Excuse me for interrupting, sir."

The vampire was very respectful. He held a piece of paper in his hands and handed it to Shen Cheng: "This is a gift from a guest."

Shen Cheng stared at the strange vampire in front of him and asked, "Which guest asked you to give it to me?"

The vampire smiled respectfully: "Sorry, I don't know who it is either. You will know once you meet him."

Shen Cheng's eyes glowed slightly red, and he began to hypnotize the vampire in front of him.

As a result, he was surprised to find that the vampire in front of him had been hypnotized by someone, and the person who hypnotized him was no weaker than himself in hypnosis, so he was unable to cover the other person's hypnosis.

He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking the vampire any questions and took the note from him.

The vampire bowed respectfully to Shen Cheng, then turned and left.

Shen Cheng turned around and went back to the room, and only checked the note in his hand after closing the door.

There was no name or surname on the note, only an address, and this address was somewhere on an island in the middle of the lake.

who can that be?

The faces of Yi Xu, Fang Wei, and even Bi Lei flashed through Shen Cheng's mind.

He couldn't guess who among these people would need to meet him in this way.

After thinking for a while, Shen Cheng gave up thinking. No matter who it was, he would know after meeting him.

……

The location written on the note was an ordinary cafe on an island in the middle of the lake.

Because vampires like cold and are afraid of heat, they usually come out at night and will not go out during the day if they have nothing to do.

Therefore, the commercial activities on the island are reversed day and night, and the day is equivalent to their night.

Early in the morning, there were few customers in the cafe as many nocturnal vampires had gone back to rest.

Shen Cheng came to the coffee shop and found that all the employees had been hypnotized and ignored him when he came in.

Following the instructions on the note, he found a seat near the window on the second floor and finally met the person who handed him the note.

Shen Cheng originally thought that the people who wrote the note to him would be Yi Xu's three vice presidents, but it turned out that a strange woman appeared in his sight.

Or should I say a strange maid.

The maid was very young, about twenty years old, with a delicate and small oval face, big and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a fair and delicate face that seemed as if it could be blown away.

The long, shiny black hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of the head, making her look smart and neat.

She is tall and slender, with plump breasts and a slim waist. She is estimated to be at least 1.8 meters tall.

The first impression Shen Cheng had was that she was very beautiful, had big breasts and was very tall.

Shen Cheng is surrounded by various goddess-level beauties, and his aesthetic standards have long been cultivated to be extremely high.

You can imagine how beautiful the maid is since he considers her to be very beautiful.

The strange maid was wearing an old-fashioned black and white maid uniform that wrapped herself tightly. She sat straight and tall on the chair, and it was obvious that she was a very serious person.

Seeing Shen Cheng appear, the maid immediately stood up from the chair. As expected, she was nearly 1.8 meters tall, only slightly shorter than Shen Cheng.

She bowed slightly to Shen Cheng: "I'm really sorry for taking the liberty of inviting you here."

Just like her personality, even the tone of her voice is very precise.

Shen Cheng asked curiously: "Do we know each other?"

"I didn't know you before, but I got to know you through some special means. Please forgive me."

She raised her hand and made an invitation gesture: "Please take a seat. I didn't take the liberty of ordering for you because I don't know what you like to drink."

"Just plain tea will do."

Shen Cheng sat down opposite the maid.

The maid also began to serve tea to the coffee shop employees who had been hypnotized by her.

Her movements were sharp and her tone and demeanor when giving orders were expert. It was obvious that she was not cosplaying as a maid, but was actually a maid.

But who could make a woman of such power a maid?

From the first moment he saw her, Shen Cheng had been trying to judge the strength of the maid in front of him, but he just couldn't see through her.

At this moment, his mood was the same as Bi Lei's at the beginning.

At that time, Bi Lei had been wondering what Shen Cheng's purpose was in suddenly rebelling against the headquarters when Zhu Jing was killed.

Now Shen Cheng is also wondering what the purpose of this strange maid appearing at such a special time is.

While serving tea, the maid introduced herself to Shen Cheng.

"My name is Ning Qing, and I'm also a vampire like you, but..."

Ning Qing paused and continued, "I just came from the Eternal Empire a month ago."

Shen Cheng was slightly surprised: "You also escaped from the Eternal Empire?"

"No, I didn't flee." Ning Qing corrected Shen Cheng: "I came to the Human Federation to do business, and I will go back after I finish my business."

While Shen Cheng was trying to guess Ning Qing's identity and purpose, he asked, "Why did you come to me in this way? What advice do you have for me?"

"I don't deserve your advice, I just want to ask you a question."

Ning Qing looked directly into Shen Cheng's eyes: "In the recent series of events that occurred at the Red Banquet headquarters, do you know who the real murderer is?"

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows: "You are also involved?"

He guessed that this woman was probably here because of the recent murders, but he didn't expect her to ask so directly.

Ning Qing shook her head slightly: "This incident has nothing to do with me from beginning to end. I am just a bystander, but... I need to use this incident to confirm a prophecy."

Shen Cheng was even more confused: "What prophecy?"

Ning Qing did not answer this question: "Sorry, the content of the prophecy must not be disclosed to the public before I confirm it, but I can confess one thing, this prophecy is closely related to every vampire, especially you."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"A large part of the prophecy concerns you."

"What is the content of the prophecy?"

"Forgive me, I can't tell you right now."

Shen Cheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you a member of the Riddler Organization?"

Ning Qing blinked: "Not really."

So why are you playing riddles on me? You're just saying some confusing things.

"Ms. Ning Qing, let me ask you again."

Shen Cheng resisted the urge to beat up the Riddler: "Why did you come to see me?"

"If my concealment makes you feel uncomfortable, I can apologize to you. I am really sorry."

Ning Qing's attitude was very good. When she noticed Shen Cheng's dissatisfaction, she immediately tried to remedy the situation.

After apologizing, she considered for a moment before continuing, "I came from the Eternal Empire for a crucial prophecy. It just so happens that what you are experiencing now can help me verify the content of this fable. Please forgive me for not being able to reveal the content of the prophecy, because telling it in advance will have a bad impact."

"As for why I'm meeting you in this way, it's also to verify the content of the prophecy, including whether you already know the identity of the murderer, so please tell me."

Although Ning Qing's tone and attitude were extremely sincere, her strong riddle-telling style still made Shen Cheng feel like he was experiencing a scam in northern Myanmar.

So he said very bluntly: "If you want to know the identity of the murderer, then go and find it yourself."

The identity of the murderer was something I had found out with great difficulty, so why should I tell this strange woman who suddenly appeared?

"No, I already knew who the murderer was."

Ning Qing said something difficult to understand: "What I want to know is whether you already know it."

Shen Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the mysterious maid.

He tapped his fingers on the table and said after thinking for a moment, "You said you already know the identity of the murderer? Words are not enough. Give me a proof. If you can prove that you already know the identity of the murderer, then I will cooperate with you."

Ning Qing had obviously thought about this a long time ago, and immediately made a suggestion: "Why don't we write down the murderer's name on a piece of paper at the same time, I'll show it to you first, and then you can decide whether to show it to me, how about that?"

Shen Cheng thought this was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.

Ning Qing asked the clerk to bring paper and pen to the two of them, and then both of them wrote a name on the paper at the same time.

Ning Qing did not hide anything and openly showed the written name in front of Shen Cheng.

When Shen Cheng saw the name written by the other party, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Afterwards, he also showed the words with his own name on them.

The names written on the paper are the same for both parties.

Ning Qing already knew who the murderer was, so Shen Cheng couldn't deal with her anymore.

He followed a group of people around and finally guessed the truth with great effort, but Ning Qing, an outsider, came up with the correct answer right away.

He was silent for a moment, destroyed the paper with his name on it, and then asked Ning Qing: "Now that you know that I know who the murderer is, what else are you going to do?"

"No, I won't do anything next."

Ning Qing sincerely thanked Shen Cheng: "Thank you very much for your cooperation. As for the content of the prophecy, I will tell you the truth after I verify the entire prophecy."

Shen Cheng asked again: "If I can't guess the murderer's true identity, what will you do?"

Ning Qing shook her head: "No such thing will happen. According to the prophecy, you will definitely find the truth."

"So after you verify the prophecy, what are you going to do?"

“Of course, make it happen.”

Ning Qing's eyes seemed to be shining: "Because it is related to the future of all of us vampires."

Shen Cheng asked a few more tentative questions, but Ning Qing refused to reveal any key information, and even her own identity was vague. She just repeatedly emphasized that she would not do anything unnecessary next, and hoped that Shen Cheng could face everything according to her own steps.

This made Shen Cheng feel very bad, as his every move was actually known in advance by some prophecy.

If Ning Qing's strength was not unknown, Shen Cheng even wanted to capture her on the spot and force her to tell him what the prophecy was.

The conversation between the two parties did not last long. Ning Qing quickly said goodbye and left, leaving Shen Cheng alone in the coffee shop, and the shop assistants who had been hypnotized by her also returned to normal.

Shen Cheng sat by the window, drinking tea silently, thinking about Ning Qing's origins and purpose.

A mysterious woman suddenly appeared and said that a prophecy concerning the future of the world and all vampires was related to herself, and also conducted a small test.

It's simply a classic scam. In the end, all they need to do is take out a card and let you transfer money into it.

If Ning Qing didn't also know the murderer's identity, Shen Cheng might have mistaken him for a scammer from northern Myanmar.

Although Ning Qing repeatedly emphasized that she would not do anything next, with such a powerful woman around, Shen Cheng had to take her existence into consideration to prevent her from jumping out at the critical moment and doing something with the prophecy as an excuse.

As for the prophecy spoken by Ning Qing, Shen Cheng was skeptical and did not take it completely to heart.

When Shen Cheng was returning to the headquarters building from the coffee shop, he happened to run into Yi Xu. When he saw him, he immediately said, "Where have you been? I was looking for you everywhere."

Shen Cheng noticed that something was wrong with Yi Xu: "What happened?"

Yi Xu's eyes flickered, his expression serious: "The old man sent a message."

Old man, the only person in the entire Red Dinner Headquarters who deserves this title is the president who was forced to retire and live in seclusion under pressure from the federal government.

This president is the only trump card of the entire Scarlet Dinner. He came to the human society from the Eternal Empire alone and personally founded the Scarlet Dinner, a huge vampire organization.

When he was in office, the entire Red Dinner was united as one. No branch dared to disobey the orders of the headquarters, and he personally served as the branch chief.
