The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"What? It's fallen?"

Shi Bai seemed slightly surprised.

“That’s right. The original church should have been a sacred place, but now there is only filth there. The priests there have been converted into vampires, and there are even blood slaves kept in the basement…”

Sally gritted her teeth.

"Then why don't you use holy light to purify them? After all, what they did could be considered blasphemous, right?"

While leaning against her younger sister and flipping through a comic book she had received from someone, Huan Yue responded rather lazily.

"On the other hand, isn't Elis not stupid? If he had gone to the priest at the church, he might not have lived to see that day."

“I have betrayed my leader. Strictly speaking, I am now a fallen angel. Fallen angels cannot use the power of light, let alone holy light.”

Sally gave this shameful devil, who had failed his exams at the age of 30, a disgraceful look and sat down at the table, pouring herself a cup of tea.

"If even a sacred place like a church has been controlled by vampires, then I feel that this city is actually in their hands. These guys are indeed still determined to establish their own dynasty again."

"Who says you can't use the power of light? Believe in yourself, you can become light too. If you don't believe me, you can try this."

With a smirk, Shi Bai casually tossed something in front of Sally.

"what is this?"

After picking up the object and examining it for a moment, Sally looked up at Shi Bai.

"Light Sparkler, as long as you firmly believe that you can become light and boil Daigo into soup, then you can transform into Ultraman Tiga... Do you want to give it a try?"

Shi Bai took out a camera and waved it enthusiastically at Sally.

"Ultraman Tiga fighting vampires, I think this is a great project. If we record it now, it might be used as movie material in the future."

"...Can you be serious? I've already said that this city is basically under the control of the vampires, so why do I feel like you've been playing around the whole time?"

Sally's lips twitched slightly as she pushed the magic wand far to the side.

Ultraman Tiga and such... it sounds really weird.

"Be more confident, and remove the words 'I feel' from your mind."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of turning into light, Shi Bai put down the camera in his hand with a sense of regret.

"There's absolutely no need to worry about such a trivial matter. After all, questions about vampires aren't really that big of a deal..."

"Everything exists in balance, and now that the vampires have broken that balance, you still say there's no major problem?"

Sally's dissatisfaction grew even stronger after being interrupted by Shi Bai.

"I've never hoped for anything from demons, so why are you doing the same?"

"And then what do you expect me to do now? Find all the vampires in this city and kill them all?"

Rolling his eyes, Shi Bai leaned back in his chair.

"What's the use of treating the symptoms but not the root cause? Because you can't possibly kill all the vampires. As long as even one vampire survives in the world, they can quickly create a large number of vampires using their infection methods... Existence is its own justification. Aren't I trying to find a solution right now?"

"Hmm... but even if you put it that way, I still can't think of any good solutions..."

After racking her brains for a long time without coming up with any solutions, Sally collapsed onto the table as if all her energy had been drained.

"The mystery of this world is fading. Without the restraint of others, vampires will only grow stronger... If that's the case, then there's no solution at all! I used to be human too, and I couldn't just ignore it..."

"Were you human before?" ×3

As soon as Sariel uttered these words, which sounded like complaints about the ship, the man, the demon, and the demon angel were all shocked.

"Huh? You guys don't know?"

Sally looked up from the table, her face full of surprise.

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"I don't know about the other angels, but I still remember my human identity before I became an angel. It's just a kind of racial sublimation. From human to angel, and from human to immortal or celestial being, it's all the same."

Sally sighed.

"Believers who are pure-hearted, kind, and have faith in God have the opportunity to enter the Kingdom of Heaven at the time of their death. Among those pure and kind souls, some will be chosen to become angels... But I am an exception. I became an angel before I died."

"I feel like you're subtly praising yourself..."

Huan Yue's lips twitched slightly.

"Be more confident, remove 'I feel' and 'it seems'. This scumbag angel is just praising himself. It's like a top student who always gets full marks sighing and saying he failed the exam, but when the results come out, he still gets full marks. At the same time, there are those European dogs who pretend to be lucky and post pictures in the group saying that a newbie got six SSRs in a 10-pull, and that they think they lost out."

Shi Bai nodded with a deep expression.

"It's these dogs who shamelessly flaunt their goods that are ruining the reputation of us lucky people. Can you believe how infuriating that is?"

"...Could you please stop suddenly veer off-topic in the middle of a conversation?"

Looking at the two people in front of her, who were like a comedian, going back and forth, Sally's face was full of helplessness.

"You asked me this yourselves, I was just telling the truth... Okay, let's stop here, alright? Shouldn't the focus of our discussion now be on how to solve the disaster brought about by vampires? I was once human, so I absolutely cannot be indifferent to the miserable lives of humans who can only serve as blood slaves to vampires."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come up with a solution. After all, there's no problem I can't solve... Since you've studied the entire set of math, physics, and chemistry courses from elementary school to high school and even university on the ship, you should know a lot about things like balance scales, right?"

Shi Bai snapped his fingers.

"I ask you, how can a balance be maintained if one of the weights cannot be removed?"

"Add weights to the other side of the scale?"

Sally hesitated slightly.

"That's right, all you need to do is add new weights to the other side of the scale, and the balance will be restored. As for the vampire's natural enemy... do you have werewolves in your Western world?"

Shi Bai looked at Sally's with great interest.

"They are a dark race that are human in their daily lives, but turn into wolves when the moon is full."

"No, how could such a race exist? It just doesn't make sense... Wait, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Sally's expression changed slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Seeing the worry in the fallen angel's eyes at a glance, Shi Bai waved his hand.

"Since vampires have appeared, how can there be no werewolves? Besides werewolves, vampire hunters are also a good choice."

"A vampire hunter?"

"Well, generally speaking, it refers to the offspring of vampires and humans. They are half human and half vampire. At the same time, some vampires who were tired of drinking blood voluntarily accepted baptism and became half-vampires... It's quite complicated overall."

Shi Bai waved his hand, ending the conversation.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. How's your information gathering going? Don't forget we were paid before. If you're paid, you have to do the work. That's the rule, and it's also about integrity."

"Ah... Mel Twaiilet, the eldest daughter of the Twaiilet family, will be married to Iris Tulip, the second son of the Tulip family, in two days. This is what everyone is talking about in the streets and alleys, so there is no need to find out anything."

Sally responded sullenly, slumping back onto the table.

“According to what Ellis said, the Twailet family should have become a veritable vampire family, so I couldn’t be bothered to investigate there… These vampires seem quite clever, directly transforming themselves into nobles to rule over the lower classes, how insidious.”

"The Twailet family, huh? Never heard of them... Pshaw, I thought it was the Scarlet family."

Shi Bai looked completely uninterested.

"It's not that they're treacherous. Vampires aren't stupid. They'll naturally seize this rare opportunity to rise rapidly. It's just a matter of one side willing to fight and the other willing to be fought with the nobles."

Leaning back in his chair, Shi Bai spoke lazily.

"Those who wield power always cherish their lives more than others. Haven't you seen so many rulers, after gaining supreme power, pursue immortality as their first goal? Even Qin Shi Huang was no exception. Everyone desires a long lifespan, let alone humans with their short lifespans. Compared to possessing an incredibly long life, the weaknesses of becoming a vampire are almost insignificant. Vampires have exploited this psychology of human nobles, actively seeking cooperation to transform them into vampires. Don't imagine those nobles to be too noble. Hmm... So it's precisely because of this special period that vampires have become associated with elegant nobles?"

With his arms crossed, Shi Bai looked thoughtful.

"Hmph, what elegance? It's nothing but a despicable thing."

Sally snorted coldly.

"In my opinion, we should just infiltrate the Tewailet family, wipe out all the vampires in that family, help Ellis's father purify them, and then sweep away the corrupt and decadent church, completely restoring peace and order to this city!"

"What if Ellis's father doesn't appreciate it?"

Mengyue suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm, what do you mean by ungrateful?"

Sally's gaze fell upon Mengyue's direction, somewhat bewildered.

"What if Ellis's father was infected and transformed into a vampire willingly?"

Putting down the comic book in her hand, Mengyue spoke calmly.

It must be said that although she rarely speaks, what she does say is often very insightful.

"Voluntarily? How could that be?! Who would willingly become a monster that only wants to live in darkness and feed on blood?!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Sally immediately retorted.

"If he were seriously ill and would die soon, or if he were old and would soon reach the end of his life, and someone suddenly told him that he could regain his vitality, have a long life and great strength, and the only price he would have to pay was never being able to see the sunlight again and having to feed on blood, I think no human being would not be tempted, right?"

Mengyue remained calm.

“Didn’t you notice? According to Ellis’s description, his father is gradually getting used to the taste of blood, and it probably won’t be long before he’s drinking human blood.”

Mengyue looked calmly at Sallyel in front of her.

"What would you do in this situation?"

PS: Good morning! Good day!

Chapter Six: The Old Pervert's Approval

While the inferences about some things may be unverifiable, the truth can still be found.

For humans, especially for nobles who control power and wealth, after experiencing all the vicissitudes of life, there is always an inexplicable desire for immortality.

Therefore, when presented with an opportunity to achieve immortality, most people would likely make the right choice.

The vampires themselves evolved from humans, and they understand human psychology better than anyone. After their previous failure, they learned from their mistakes and became even smarter, which is why they have grown rapidly in the hundred years since the mystery faded.

"Alright, there's no need to worry too much about the so-called truth. Just proceed according to the original plan."

Seeing that Sally hadn't replied for a while, Shi Bai spoke up to smooth things over for her. Seeing this, Meng Yue lowered her head and picked up her comic book again to continue reading.

As a high demon, she has never been particularly interested in matters between humans and vampires. After all, unlike Sariel, she was once a human, so she has no concept of empathy.

The saying "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly" actually holds some truth.

"The original plan? What was our original plan?"

Blinking, Huan Yue turned her head.

"Defeat the local tyrants, distribute the land, and spread the glory of communism."

Shi Bai gave a casual reply and stood up.

"In short, we have no plan. They're just some vampires, easy to deal with... I'll infiltrate the Tewailet family to gather intelligence and see if I can find any clues. As for you..."

After a slight pause, Shi Bai tossed a bag of gold coins onto the table in the center of the room.

"Spend these gold coins as you like, we're not short of money."

"........."

..................................................................

The Twailet family home is located in the southeast of the city. It is a luxurious mansion with a considerable area. Just by looking at it from a distance, Shi Bai knew that there was definitely something wrong with it.

Because the landscaping around this house is so lush, with green ivy climbing all over the walls and tall trees blocking out the sun, the lighting here is extremely poor.

Along the way, Shi Bai also learned some inside information about the Tewailet family. For example, the family is always short of manpower, and the shortage of servants and maids is quite large. However, the servants and maids who are recruited often die under mysterious circumstances within a month or two. Nevertheless, due to the high prices offered by the Tewailet family, many people still flock to work for them.

"So it really is true that people die for money, and birds die for food..."

While muttering these words to himself, Shi Bai easily avoided the guards at the entrance and climbed over the wall to enter the Twailet family's residence.

However, just as he rolled over inside, he bumped right into a guard who was wearing armor and appeared to be patrolling inside the wall.

After staring at each other for about three seconds in silence, before the other could call for help, Shi Bai knocked the other unconscious with a palm strike and dragged him to the foot of a tree.

"Yes, no problem, it was a perfect infiltration..."
