Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Living a Lie

  June 4th, daytime, Hungary.

  In an abandoned factory, a man and a woman stood facing each other with knives in their hands. Suddenly, the man took a step forward and swung the knife.

  "Swish!" This is the sound of the blade cutting through the air.

  The moment Su Qing drew his knife, his heart felt cold, and his body suddenly fell backwards, making a standard back-up gesture.

  The next second, a cold light flew past the tip of the nose.

  Then he felt a sharp wind blowing from behind him, and his hands and feet loosened. As soon as he lay flat, Selena put away the knife and chopped down diagonally.

  Su Qing lay motionless on the ground with the knife in his hands across his body, trying to block the knife.

  But Selina was experienced in combat, and she turned her knife halfway and dropped it straight down, aiming directly at Su Qing's forehead.

  Su Qing had no choice but to kick his feet and slide backwards, trying to escape the attack, but Selena kept chasing him.

  Su Qing had no choice but to kick desperately, but Selena followed him closely. Although the space inside the factory was wide, a series of back slides was no match for a frontal thrust. After a while, Su Qing's head hit the wall of the factory, and he had nowhere to retreat.

  Seeing that the knife was so close, Su Qing simply gave up resisting and lay down on the ground without moving.

  Selena's control was amazing. Just before the knife was about to cut Su Qing's throat, she stopped the blade abruptly.

  "Not fighting anymore?" She sheathed her knife and asked.

  "No more fighting, no more fighting." Su Qing waved his hands, closed his eyes with a tired look, and chose to continue lying down.

  He couldn't remember how many times Selina had killed him in one minute.

  It happened too fast. I only made one move and before I could even use the second move, everything was over.

  Suddenly I felt that learning how to fight was so difficult. It was completely different from what I had imagined: three days to get started, five days to become proficient, and ten days to become master. It was simply standing still.

  It was expected that it would be very difficult for the decadent otaku to learn fighting skills; he also expected that Selina, a century-old warrior with rich experience, would not be able to defeat him.

  But he didn't expect that every time it would be so fast, winning or losing would only take a minute...

  Forget it, I won't try anymore.

  Su Qing summoned the light screen with his mind and looked at the download function column above: Fighting (Master) 90% (Downloading)

  At this moment, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be a glutton in his body, madly devouring his energy and spirit, making him gradually weak.

  But fortunately, Su Qing is not a novice, but a regular customer, so there is nothing to panic. He can replenish his strength after the download is finished by sucking a few more mouthfuls of blood.

  "There is still 10 percent progress." Su Qing looked at the progress bar and estimated the time. This download started three days ago, and the time it took was beyond his expectation, but fortunately it was not too outrageous. The download should be completed tonight.

  Once the installation is successful, we can upgrade our shotguns to powerful ones.

  Not to mention punching Victor, but kicking little Karami is still possible.

  As expected, hard work does not exist, and cheating is the real way out for time travelers like us.

  Thinking of this, Su Qing closed the light curtain. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him with concern.

  Looking at the man lying on the ground, Selena actually thought about letting him go, but before the fight, Su Qing had repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to hold back, and said that people can only grow in life-and-death battles.

  She felt that this statement was correct, after all, she had gone through the same thing in the past.

  All I remember is that she was just a homeless girl at that time. In order to avenge her family, she accepted Victor's training and spent every day in battle.

  Finally, after decades of training, she passed the test and became a member of the elite vampire force 'Death Walker'.

  But what she never expected was that Su Qing's fighting talent was so poor.

  The key points of battle, the pace of steps...all kinds of fighting skills, as long as she knew them, she would teach them all without hiding anything.

  But during the eight days from Belgium to Hungary, they conducted combat training during the day and rode at full speed at night.

  She had tried her best, but Su Qing still...

  Selina sighed, squatted down and helped Su Qing up from the ground, and said softly: "Let's end it here today. We will be able to reach the prison where Tyris was exiled tonight."

  "Don't worry, I'm fine." Su Qing looked at Serena, who was full of helplessness, and comforted her. After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Before we go to see Tyreese, I think we need to arm ourselves well, and it would be best if we can get guns."

  "Why?" Selena was a little confused. In her opinion, Andres Tyreese was a master of outlining with his poor marksmanship, and his boxing skills were only good enough to knock someone down with one punch. There was no need to be so cautious when meeting him.

  But she didn't know the inside story.

  Su Qing had seen the movie and knew that this guy had long been in cahoots with Lucien, the wolf king of the werewolf clan.

  Normally he helps werewolves make weapons to fight vampires (there was a scene of him making ultraviolet bullets in the workshop in Dark Night II), and Lucien sent him a few werewolf slaves to guard the house.

  "That guy is cooperating with the werewolves." Su Qing stated the reason directly without hiding anything. In fact, he didn't know whether Tyreese had hooked up with the werewolves at this point in time, but based on the principle of being cautious, it would not be wrong to make more preparations.

  "What?" Selena's face changed when she heard this and she said in a lost voice.

  It's no wonder she is like this. The wolf clan and the vampire clan have been fighting for centuries. They are sworn enemies who will fight to the death whenever they meet. Now Su Qing suddenly said that Tyris, a vampire, was cooperating with the werewolves. This was really hard for her to believe.

  Su Qing looked at Selena's shocked expression and thought that since everything had already been said, she might as well tell about the other traitor as well.

  "Do you know Kraven?"

  Selina came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion, but still said, "Of course I know. In the 15th century, he led the elite blood clan troops to recapture the blood clan's former castle from the wolf clan, and killed the wolf king Lucien. Therefore, he has a very high status in the blood clan, only below the three elders."

  "He also cooperated with the wolf tribe." Su Qing explained softly, and then said: "And the wolf king Lucien was not killed by him."

  Selina didn't expect that Kraven also cooperated with the wolf tribe, and that the killing of Lucien was fake. She was stunned for a moment.

  When I came back to my senses, I heard Su Qing continue to say, "Back then, Kraven led his elite troops to attack the castle, but was wiped out by Lucien. However, Lucien spared Kraven's life in the end, and worked with Kraven to fabricate the illusion that he was killed, so that the wolf tribe could return to the dark to recuperate and prepare for a counterattack against the blood tribe in the future."

  "What's wrong with you?" After saying everything, Su Qing saw that Selena was in a daze and had no reaction, so he rubbed her little hand.

  Selena came to her senses, turned to look at Su Qing, wanted to say something, but in the end she pursed her lips and said nothing.

  "Take a rest. You still have a lot to do tonight." Su Qing saw that Selena was not in good spirits and did not regret telling the truth at all. She would know the truth later anyway, so it would be better to tell it early so that she would be mentally prepared.

  "Yeah." Selena nodded, looking a little depressed.

  At this moment, she just felt that she had lived a lie for the past five hundred years.

  The person who saved his life turned out to be his enemy who had wiped out his entire family, the hero of the blood clan was a complete liar, and the wolf king who was supposed to be dead was actually alive and well...
