The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

Looking at the unfortunate guard who was tied to a tree, gagged, and unconscious, Shi Bai wiped the dirt off his hands on a nearby tree trunk and muttered something under his breath.

A minute later, Shi Bai, who had just stepped out of the green area, ran into a patrol team.

"Hmm... no problem... this is still an infiltration that no one has discovered..."

Looking at the haphazardly collapsed bodies lying on the ground in front of him, Shi Bai's lips twitched slightly.

Five minutes later, in a garden where the flowers were blooming exceptionally brightly, Shi Bai's figure was spotted by more than a dozen noblewomen who were admiring the flowers.

"They're all vampires... Are vampires' noses really that sensitive? You're not dogs..."

Shi Bai stretched his wrists and looked at the group of vampire noblewomen he had knocked down, feeling rather helpless.

"If it's alright, this was a perfect infiltration that went undetected by anyone... well, I guess..."

Ten minutes later, while getting lost inside the complex building, someone knocked out a total of three cooks, two butlers, six maids, and twelve servants...

Shi Bai: "..."

Incidentally, you could still encounter humans on the outer perimeter, with the occasional vampire mixed in, but inside this building, you only encounter vampires, with the occasional human.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Twaiilet family's place has completely and utterly become a vampire's lair, with almost no light coming through the rooms.

"So what exactly did I come here for...?"

After casually knocking out another seemingly high-ranking butler, Shi Bai sat on the ground with a slight headache, rubbing his forehead as he fell into deep reflection.

He came here in a blazing invincible way, not to light up the map or anything, but to see if he could capture the person in charge of Twaiilet and, incidentally, try to get any information about other vampire families, such as the Scarlett family, from them.

However, according to the information he obtained from the vampire he had just knocked out, in order to ensure the smooth conduct of the marriage alliance with the Tulip family in two days, his family boarded the carriage early in the morning to visit the Tulip family, and were expected to return at least in the evening...

"Ah... well, since I'm already here, I might as well just take something from here and go back..."

After sitting on the steps for a long time and thinking about it, Shi Bai, who felt inexplicably cheated, simply started the looting mode.

There's no way anyone can stop him, because everyone he encountered while wandering around the Twailet family's place has already been knocked unconscious by him. The first one to regain consciousness won't be back until at least dusk.

"Hmm...this was a perfect infiltration..."

While aimlessly wandering from room to room, Shi Bai casually stuffed whatever caught his eye into his storage ring.

—After all, we're already here.

He wasn't picky; as long as it looked pleasing to the eye, that was fine. The Western world was rich in magical items, and there were quite a few useful and novel things. Moreover, this was a collection from a vampire family, so it was barely acceptable.

A parchment scroll that can summon demons from hell, a magic book that seals monsters, several unidentified bottles containing shiny potions... and even in a hidden corner of the back garden, Shi Bai found a unicorn bound by iron chains, covered in wounds, lying there unable to move.

"No way, they have this kind of thing here too?"

Looking at the unicorn in front of him, Shi Bai was filled with surprise.

The unicorn resembles a white horse in appearance, with not a single stray hair on its body, as white as snow. It has a spiral horn on its forehead, representing nobility, pride, and purity. It is said that this creature only allows pure and beautiful maidens to ride on its back, making it an absolute lecher.

To be honest, this was the first time Shi Bai had ever seen a unicorn. However, the unicorn in front of him looked to be in very bad shape. Its neck and four legs were firmly locked by thick iron chains that were deep into the ground. Its snow-white fur was covered in mud, and whip marks were clearly visible on its body. Some parts were even festering, and swarms of flies were attached to it, making it look extremely disgusting.

"You're lucky to have met me. Huan Yue just mentioned that she wanted to catch a few unicorns to raise. Raising a unicorn in front of the Dream Pavilion wouldn't be bad; it would be a combination of East and West."

Squatting in front of the battered unicorn, Shi Bai spoke with a heavy heart.

The unicorn responded by giving him a disdainful look and then haughtily turning its head away.

"He really is a lecherous old man..."

After pursing his lips and waving his hand to shoo away the flies, Shi Bai took out a large number of cards from his storage ring and spread them out in his hand.

He never learns healing skills and abilities, since he is immortal and can recover completely after dying once, no matter how serious the injury. It would be a waste to spend extra time and energy on them. So he usually collects some healing cards for emergencies... such as [Oath of the Peach Garden], which is a large-scale support card that heals the entire group.

After giving the unicorn in front of him a quick treatment, Shi Bai took out a Master Ball and, without waiting for the unicorn's consent, put it directly into the Master Ball.

After the unicorn, Shi Bai didn't find anything else that caught his eye. However, he did find a rather mysterious inscription behind the place where the unicorn was imprisoned. It was a piece of writing carved directly into the stone.

As light and darkness alternated, thirteen stars shone brightly in the night.

After staring at the text in front of him, frowning and pondering for a long time, Shi Bai added a few extra words at the end with his finger.

"At the moment when light and darkness alternate, thirteen stars shine brightly in the night." — Albert Einstein.

"Indeed, a passage of text can be transformed into a famous quote simply by adding a slash to the end and then adding a random name. —Lu Xun."

Looking at his masterpiece, Shi Bai dusted off his hands and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from not far away, followed by the slightly excited voice of a girl.

"Little White, I brought you some food again. This time it's something you really like... Little White?"

"noob?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Shi Bai turned around and looked behind him. He saw a girl with long, smooth silver hair and ruby-like eyes, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, standing anxiously at the spot where the unicorn had been bound, looking around anxiously.

"Is it a vampire too... Ah, I mean, how could that unicorn, with its pride, survive such torture? So it turns out there was a little girl secretly feeding it behind the scenes..."

Looking at the Master Ball in his hand, Shi Bai's face was full of disdain.

"You old pervert."

Looking at the vampire loli in front of him, whose face was even more anxious, Shi Bai thought for a moment and then walked out from the bushes.

—It's definitely not because the other party is a loli.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?!"

Since Shi Bai had no intention of hiding himself, the silver-haired girl quickly noticed him, and immediately appeared quite nervous.

"I've never seen you in the family before. Where's Xiaobai? Did you hide Xiaobai?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just let it out and set it free than to keep feeding it secretly?"

Without intending to answer the other party's question, Shi Bai shrugged to indicate that he didn't actually have any malicious intent.

"I rescued it. You might see it at Shin-chan's place sometime."

"...My mother and the others won't let me do that."

Perhaps because of Shi Bai's words, the girl seemed to relax more, though her expression was slightly gloomy.

"If you rescued Xiaobai... then thank you, and I hope you can set it free."

"What's your name?"

Shi Bai glanced at the food the girl had brought over for the unicorn on the ground, and then asked her thoughtfully.

"Sophie Twaiilet."

Lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands, the silver-haired girl gave him a slight bow, her tone becoming quite serious at some point.

"Guests from afar, whose origins are unknown, please flee this place before my father and mother return. This place is dangerous, and please never come here again."

"Sophie? Hmm... that name sounds vaguely familiar... never mind, I can't remember."

He rubbed his forehead, looked up at the sky through the gaps in the dense trees, squinted slightly, and looked at Sophie in front of him, asking her directly: "Get up."

"I know it's dangerous, of course, but you should know you're vampires, right?"

"........."

The girl did not answer his question, remaining quite silent until quite a while later, when she finally nodded slightly.

"That's right, I'm a vampire."

PS: There will be another update later.

Chapter Seven: The False and the Real Vampire

The Twaiilet family.

"Vampires? Do you know what real vampires are like?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him who had admitted her identity after a series of complex psychological struggles, Shi Bai curled his lips.

"The fake vampire only has a small body, weak limbs and an air of majesty. He has a shut-in sister who gets blood all over his face. He doesn't have Stand-up Poke, and his only special move is crouching with his head covered in blood. But the real vampire is different."

"A real...vampire?"

Sophie looked somewhat bewildered.

"That's right! A real vampire must have strong muscles, a classically beautiful physique, be a savior of villains, have two awesome children, drink blood cleanly, and possess Stand-up Powder! When fighting, they shout 'Wryyyyyyyy!!' with great passion! That's what a real vampire is!!!"

Sophie: "..."

"Also, real vampires can lift steamrollers. Can you lift one?"

As if by magic, someone produced a road roller from an open space and placed it there, while a camera was already in their hand, looking quite serious.

"Please give it a try if you can!!"

"Hmm, as for strength..."

Looking down at her hands, after a moment's hesitation, Sophie walked to the road roller and lifted it over her head with one hand, then turned her head to look at Shi Bai with ease.

"Does this prove my vampire identity?"

"That's right, that's the aura. Remember, the first element to prove you're a vampire is being able to lift a steamroller."

While looking at the footage captured by the camera in his hand, Shi Bai solemnly gave the other party a thumbs-up and tried to activate Killer Queen.

"I suppose you haven't been out for a long time, right? This is common knowledge that is widely circulated in human society."

"Hmm, I see. Is this what is generally accepted as common sense among humankind?"

Sophie put down the road roller, crossed one arm over her chest, and stroked her chin with the other, nodding thoughtfully.

"I remember."

Centuries later, when facing her first human friend, Sophie, who had just put down her road roller, spoke very seriously in this way.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. Now that you know you're a vampire, you should understand the relationship between vampires and humans, right? I have something I'd like to discuss with you..."

Shi Bai put the camera back in his hand, set up a few chairs and tables in the open space, sat down, and then greeted the silver-haired girl in front of him warmly.

"Please don't be shy, sit down and make yourself at home."

...This place seems to have always been my home?

Successfully captivated by someone's seductive behavior, Sophie also sat down at the table in a daze.

"Want something to drink?"

Shi Bai placed two cups on the table and looked at Sophie in front of him.

"Speaking of which, can vampires eat human food?"

"You can taste it, but you basically won't eat it, and it won't fill you up at all. After becoming a vampire, human food no longer holds any appeal for vampires."

It's obvious that she has received a good family education; Sophie's posture is worlds apart from that of the carefree person in question.

"However, generally speaking, vampires only feed on blood."

"So you don't usually drink tea?"

"...Black tea."

Sophie seemed slightly hesitant.

"Because black tea looks a lot like blood..."

"Tomato juice is more like it, how about a glass of tomato juice?"

"...Tomato? What's a tomato...?"

"Oh well, never mind, then I'll have black tea."

Scratching his hair, Shi Bai pushed a cup of black tea over to him.

"As for tea and desserts, should I go and catch someone to bleed you dry right now?"

"...I never drink human blood."

After taking the cup of black tea and remaining silent for a moment with her head down, Sophie answered softly.

"Drinking too much human blood is addictive. Sucking blood also drains the life force contained within it, causing severe harm to the human being being sucked. If you're coming to me because of what my family did, I'm very sorry, but I couldn't stop them..."

"What do their affairs have to do with you? They are them, and you are you. I'm not some overzealous righteous messenger. I'm just sitting down to ask you one thing."

Sit up straight and Shi Bai spoke seriously.
