At noon, Helen deliberately bypassed Star City University to avoid the dangerous area crowded with vampire hunters. Unconsciously, she walked to the shopping mall.
That is the place where Albert took her to buy shoes yesterday. Helen stood in front of the department store, about to enter with her dog. Suddenly, a security guard ran over quickly and blocked Helen's way.
"Madam, pets are not allowed in the mall. Could you please cooperate?" the security guard said.
"Why are pets not allowed to enter?" Helen has been asleep for too long and is unaware that this rule has gradually formed in the shopping mall.
The security guard patiently explains, "Madam, shopping malls are crowded places where both the elderly and children are more prone to accidents. Moreover, if a pet loses its patience, it can also be difficult to control."
"But people are like that too, you see that child over there, isn't he just standing in front of the flowerpot in the mall lobby pretending to be a little sprinkler?" Helen said .
The security guard turned around and indeed saw a middle-aged mother making her little baby misbehave in public.
The security guard felt a bit awkward and said, "Madam, we will handle the matter with that lady shortly. However, pets are not allowed inside the mall. Could you please go to the nearby pet storage area?"
"Okay." Helen also didn't mind and led the Samoyed to the pet storage area next to the mall. Since choosing to live in human territory, one must abide by human rules.
Woof woof woof! A Samoyed ran into the pet storage area and immediately started barking happily. Although it is called a pet storage area, it mainly sells dog food, toys, and small snacks.
And there are other puppies in boarding as well, which is like heaven for the Samoyed who has been living in the yard for a long time.
Helen, seeing the Samoyed so happy, took a number plate and went to the front desk to make payment. While waiting, a woman wearing sunglasses and a red windbreaker accidentally bumped into her leisure bag as she walked past.
Helen turned around and protected her bag, asking, "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry." The woman in the red dress lowered her head apologizing softly.
Helen looked away and stood in the aisle, pulling on the long chain of her casual bag. It seemed that her bag had accidentally opened while she was chasing after the dog. The woman in red nodded slightly, bidding farewell to Helen.
After a while, Helen handed over the money and handed George to the staff. She comforted him with kind words until he completely stopped paying attention to her before walking towards the door. Just as she took her first step out of the storage shop, a red figure suddenly flashed from behind her, tore off the strap of her casual bag, and ran off with it.
Helen cursed, 'Damn it, a thief?' She took off her shoes and chased after them.
Since birth, with her speed comparable to that of light, no one has been able to surpass her in the lightning-fast race! As expected, five minutes later, the woman in the red windbreaker was cornered by Helen in a dead end. She knelt down before Helen with a thud, holding Helen's leisure bag high above her head and exclaimed, "Please spare me, madam!"
Helen grabbed the bag and checked the number of blood bags, only to find one missing.
"Take off your sunglasses and look at me," Helen said almost commandingly. For some reason, she always felt that the woman in front of her resembled an old friend of hers.
"Please do not take off my glasses," the woman in red raised her head and looked at Helen, with a clear expression of refusal.
Helen laughed, bent down, approached the woman in red and said with a smile, "Camilla? Is that you?"
The woman in red knelt on the ground, reached out to take off her sunglasses, and suddenly sat down on the floor. She looked like a deflated balloon. She knew Helen was going through a period of weakness, but Helen still managed to catch up with her.
Helen reached out and pulled Camilla up, looking her over with a smile. She said, "You are supposed to be a mighty war god of the blood clan. How did you end up like this and resort to being a thief?"
Camilla brushed off the dirt from her body, put on her sunglasses again, and said, "I'd rather be a thief than being kept by humans."
"Being 'kept? How am I being kept by humans?" Helen looked puzzled. Who would dare to keep her?
Camilla pointed to Helen's casual bag and scanned Helen up and down with her eyes several times before speaking, "Look at you, sun hat, white dress, high heels, casual bag. You were even walking a silly white dog just now. Where doesn't it look like you're being kept by someone?"
Helen felt somewhat speechless.
......
Half an hour later, Helen led Camilla into the top floor of a shopping mall, a VIP leisure and entertainment club.
In a private room, Helen is sharing food with Camilla. Since Camilla came to the human world, she feels like she hasn't been this relaxed in a long time.
According to her, Camilla, as a member of the vampire slum, has already voluntarily lowered her living standards and is constantly in a desperate state of "maintaining basic needs and longing for moderate prosperity."
Helen burst into laughter upon hearing Camilla's words. Camilla glared at Helen, sucking on the blood pack, and said unwillingly, "Are you living a better life than me? Why are you mocking me?"
Helen is definitely better off than Camilla! At least she hasn't stooped to the level of becoming a thief.
"Why don't you take off your sunglasses? There is something called contact lenses now."
"I wish I could wear contact lenses, but I can't afford them," Camila said helplessly as she sat in the chair. "If you had a pair of eyes that could see through objects, you would understand my pain."
Yes, all purebred vampires are bestowed with a dark gift by fate. Helen's dark gift is possessing a powerful self-healing ability, allowing her to regenerate at a visible speed within a short period of time as long as her heart remains intact and her head remains undamaged.
And Camilla's dark talent is possessing a pair of divine eyes that can see through all the objects in the human world. Therefore, her favorite thing to do in the human world is tomb raiding.
Camila took those gold and silver jewels to the black market to sell, or exchange for blood. However, due to increased human efforts in protecting ancient tombs in recent years, many of these tombs have disappeared. As a result, Camila's days haven't been going so well.
She decided to wash her hands of it all and live a self-indulgent life, becoming an orphan wandering everywhere. Camila's life motto is: she won't trust any humans and won't love any humans either. In her eyes, humans are just a pile of bones accompanied by gory chunks of fat.
It looks really unattractive.
