BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3: The Vampire System
"What lie? I did give them the ERX-89 implant for free, and that thing was expensive, you know.
I even gave them money, and all they needed to do was get close to the blood to see if it showed any reaction."
The assistant looked at Faerith with pleading eyes. "But Prof, they also threatened to stop our funding. You know we needed the money."
"Hmph! Money! Money! Ever since the dungeons started appearing, every investor wanted quick results.
In the past, it was normal for them to spend years without any results," Faerith said grumpily.
Their conversation was then interrupted when Faerith received a new message about her ERX implant.
"Oh, the test subject has arrived."
She then looked at her two assistants, who had hopeless eyes.
"Both of you should take a break for a few days. I will talk with the committee myself tomorrow."
Hearing what she said, both assistants quickly left.
The only reason they still stayed on the experiment was that they owed Faerith.
The others had already escaped to other projects. With the appearance of the dungeons, there were many new things to be experimented with, raising the demand for researchers to a new level.
Now, no one bothered with a project that showed no results in three months; they would move on to new things.
Alex waited in the lobby room, busy playing with his phone as he awaited his call.
Deep in his mind, he was still surprised he got a direct reply almost instantly after inputting his information.
But after seeing the research facility, he didn't feel worried at all. Instead, he felt strange, as if something was calling to him.
"Die, you bitch!"
In another world, a beautiful woman with long black hair reaching all the way to her waist was pushed down into the void.
Her name was Mingyue.
"Just wait, Lianhua; if I survive this, I will come back to kill you."
Mingyue's amber eyes looked sharply at Lianhua. But deep inside, she knew the chance for her to return was very slim.
They had just entered a new secret realm found by their sect, Blue Lotus.
Both of them were prodigies.
But problems started brewing when both were chosen as prime disciples.
The sect wasn't rich, so it could only nurture one of them.
This made the sect often send them to obtain their own resources.
Even though both of them fought a lot, Mingyue never imagined that Lianhua would push her into a void crack.
Passing through the void was normal when entering a secret realm, and sometimes, a void storm appeared, creating a few cracks in the path.
It wasn't that dangerous as long as they avoided it.
No one had ever returned after entering a crack, not even the immortals. Some theorized they would enter another world or just get shredded to death.
Inside the void crack, Mingyue felt her body being torn apart as if thousands of needles were slashing over her.
She used her qi to the max to protect herself.
Each second felt like an hour.
After some time, she was thrown out onto cold, dark stone.
Her enhanced robe was already tattered to pieces, revealing her jade, alluring body. Fortunately for her, she was alone in the place.
Her body ached all over.
Mingyue was glad she had spent all her contribution points to get the best protection talisman.
If not, she was sure her body would have been shredded to pieces by now.
"That bitch!
How dare she push me into the space crack! Just wait until I return to the sect!
I will tell the elders to make your life hell!!!" she cursed.
She then took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.
As the cold air filled her lungs, she looked around the area.
It was a vast space made from dark rock, the only light source coming from a crystalline light on the ceiling. But her eyes froze as she looked at the center of the room.
The center of the area was elevated, with a coffin in the middle.
The coffin was made from black metal, carved with inscriptions she couldn't read.
It had a goblet floating above, radiating a mystical aura.
As if hypnotized, her curvy body started walking closer to the goblet.
Meanwhile, in his world, Alex now lay on a bed, having just finished the procedure to get the implant in his brain.
It was fast and quick.
He had thought they would need to operate on him, but he only needed to stay still while a cluster of nanomachines was injected with a special needle directly into his skull.
After that, he felt a little weird, as if many ants were moving through his brain. He then lost consciousness.
Faerith took the opportunity to bring the vial into the room.
But then the vial started shaking and cracked apart into pieces.
The blood then moved as one entity and flew with unnatural speed, seeping into Alex's body through his orifices.
The reaction made Faerith freeze in her spot, not knowing what to do.
Back at the mausoleum, the black goblet was now in Mingyue's slender fingers. With a swift motion, the thick red liquid, oozing a black aura, flowed down her throat.
Then, an ethereal voice was heard in their minds, [The hosts for Adam and Eve to resurrect the vampire race have been found…]
[Reading both world information…]
[Looking for the best way to link both worlds and make both hosts into the primogenitors…]
A strange interface then appeared in front of her amber eyes, which now glowed red.
[Update Completed. Welcome, Alex Campbell & Mingyue Xueqi, to the Vampire System.]
