Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 279 Hostage Exchange
"Having said so much, everything is based on the premise of being able to defeat Rochinade." I thought for a while before I said, "Rochinade is not that easy to deal with. And you can guarantee, how much is there now?" Such a foreign race chooses to be loyal to Rochinade. Do you know what the ratio of our allies and enemies is?"

"Fortunately, part of us is still human, so we also have the tenacious aspect of human beings, so there are many tribes who want to resist Rochinade. I have contacted three so far. If you are willing to join, That's the fourth."

"That's a nice thing to say, but you vampires are still loyal to Rochinade right now. What you're saying now doesn't have any credibility." I said.

"This is a kind of self-protection. It can protect us from the threat of Rochinade. In the early stage of this war, we need to preserve enough strength. At the same time weaken the power of human beings. When Rochinade is defeated , our strength has been preserved, while mankind has just experienced the devastation of the Great War. At that time, our victory will be more certain."

"Wait, wait! If I understand correctly, you want to destroy the power of human beings while expecting human beings to defeat Rochinade? Your thinking is too naive." I said sarcastically arrive.

"Of course we won't do nothing and enjoy the benefits." Dracula said with a wave, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have talked about the issue of trading keys."

"So you're willing to give me the key," I asked.

"That's natural, but correspondingly, we also need you to do something." Dracula said, "The current situation is just a loss, not even a bone injury. If we want to end the war rashly now , the results we expected will not appear. We still need to wait until the human race is weaker, even to the point of dying, at that time, it will be the time for us to attack Rochinade."

"What do you need me to do, be more specific." I asked bluntly.

"It's enough to do nothing." Dracula said, "Rochinard's monster army is destroying human civilization all over the world. Let this process be extended indefinitely. The longer the better."

"I'll go back and think about it." I said after being silent for a while.Seeing that I was still hesitating, Dracula was about to say something.But he saw a vampire rushing in and whispering something in Dracula's ear.Dracula nodded, and looked at me again, with a playful smile on his face, "Mr. Zhao, it's not good for you to behave like this. I'm already very sincere. But you are still guarding against me."

"What do you mean?" I felt inexplicable, but a bad premonition appeared in my heart.

"Bring her in." Dracula yelled, and saw two vampires coming in with a person pressing down on him. This person was none other than Sun Tingting.His face was full of anger, and his eyes that seemed to be spitting fire scanned the surroundings.At last his eyes fell on me.

"Why are you here! Didn't I tell you to go back?" When I saw Sun Tingting, I immediately got one head and two big.Looking at Dracula again, he sighed and said, "This is mine, if you have no objections, please let her go."

"It's easy to say, but at the beginning I was thinking, is there any way to make our cooperation more trustful?" Dracula looked at Sun Tingting and said, "Now I have a way, we are with each other Leave a representative. This little girl will temporarily be a guest in my castle as a testimony of the friendship between our two clans. Correspondingly, I will also give you a member of my clan. This is fair and ensures that we The friendship between them will last forever."

"No." I said bluntly, "She is an important member of our union, how do I know if you will just find some low-level vampire to fool me."

"Oh, I hope the identities are equal, it's easy to say." Dracula said to the people behind, "Go and call the lady."

"In order to show my sincerity, I will let my daughter be the envoy of friendship between our two races. In this way, the identities will be more equal." Dracula said, and at the same time, he saw a petite girl walking out of the corridor behind. figure.The girl looked only eight or nine years old. She was wearing a pleated skirt in dark tones. The whale skeleton below held up the skirt like a blooming rose, and the silver accessories decorated the corners scattered like stars.Long blond hair tied into twin ponytails stood pretty on both sides, and her fair face was pale with meaning and sickness.The delicate face like a porcelain doll, coupled with the slightly hollow eyes, has the illusion of a combination of an angel and a devil.Impressively a standard gothic loli.

"This is my daughter, Victoria." Dracula said, pulling Victoria to him, "How about it, do you feel equal?"

"You mean, if I don't leave someone behind, I don't want to leave here, right?" As I spoke, the muscles in my body tensed up, ready to deal with an attack or run away at any time.Although I have conflicts with the Sun family, I definitely won't just leave my companions in this kind of place as hostages.

"Of course I don't mean that, but I just hope that our cooperation will be stronger. This is our common expectation, isn't it? And we have no hostility. This lady will receive the best treatment with us. We will treat you like the best receptionist." Treat her like a valuable guest. What's more, my daughter will be handed over to you. I think this is a fair proposal." Dracula said.

"What? You cooperated?" Sun Tingting looked at me strangely and said.

"That's right, there is no need for us to become enemies at all. After Luo Jinard, it will be our era, so cooperation is the right answer." Dracula said.I wanted to say something, but I saw Sun Tingting bit her lip and said as if she had made a decision, "Okay, I agree."

"Sun Tingting, you are crazy!" When I heard her words, I almost thought I had heard it wrong for a moment.

"Hahaha, this lady really impresses me." Dracula looked at Sun Tingting, then at me, and suddenly laughed, "How about Mr. Zhao, this lady has already agreed. You seem to be There is no reason to refuse."

"Sun Tingting, what on earth are you thinking! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about it for Sun Dasheng. If he knew you were left here, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy and come to your door." I resented Said.

"I am very clear about the current decision. It is enough for you to go back and tell my brother that I am voluntary." Sun Tingting said calmly, "My brother will understand what I mean."

"Mr. Zhao, you are still hostile to us." Dracula said, "We can't cooperate in this way. It's not good for you and me if you get too stiff, right?"

I gave the vampires around me a vicious look, and at the same time looked at Sun Tingting in confusion.In the end, I could only sigh and said, "Well, since I stayed here voluntarily, I won't say anything. I'll be back soon."

"I look forward to the day when we meet for the first time, the future belongs to our new family." Dracula said with a smile. In the end, I kept Sun Tingting and took Victoria away instead.In fact, Sun Tingting's decision is not difficult to understand. Opportunities and dangers coexist. I don't deny the danger of staying there, but at the same time it is also an opportunity.Among other things, the Sun family will definitely ask for compensation based on the fact that Sun Tingting was kept as a hostage.And Sun Tingting stayed there for a long time, staying at the core of the opponent.There must be more time to contact the higher-ups there.As long as the means are clever enough, you can bypass me and directly talk to the top of the vampire family, and directly fight for the interests of the Sun family.It can only be said that Sun Tingting has done the best for the Sun family.For this kind of person, I don't know what kind of eyes I should look at her.Paranoia, stubbornness, and unyielding methods seem inappropriate.

Of course, just today, I realized many problems, and I don't have much experience to pay attention to Sun Tingting's affairs.After going back, I had to make a decision right away—what to do after the war?
