“Ah…”
"Aha?"
"Ha-Achoo!"
Ludwig sneezed, but it was clear that vampires didn't catch colds.
"Strange, is someone insulting me?"
She shook her head. "Never mind."
Ludwig had just woken up. After washing up, she put on a cat-ear fleece sweater, curled up happily in front of her computer desk, and began to enjoy her gaming time.
Meanwhile, Coco was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard as usual.
This is the maid's daily job; she doesn't exactly enjoy it, but she doesn't hate it either.
Because she doesn't know where she came from or where she's going, she needs to find some meaning in her life.
...
"Waaaaah—Coco!"
Ludwig suddenly rushed out of the room, screaming as she lunged at Ruoke.
Pfft!
"cocoa!"
Ruo Keke quickly pushed her away: "Miss, please calm down for a moment, I'm hanging out the laundry!"
Ludwig looked up, her eyes lifeless, as if she had gone blind.
Then, looking aggrieved, she rubbed against the maid's chest:
"Coco, woo-waaaa—"
"You're over a hundred years old, can you please stop acting like a child and being so spoiled?!"
If Coco couldn't stand it anymore, she flicked the silver-haired girl on the head and struggled to "pry" the girl off her.
"What's wrong, young lady? Did you get crushed in your online match again?"
“Do I look like that kind of idiot?” she said seriously, hands on her hips.
“It looks quite similar,” Ruo Keke said expressionlessly.
Ludwig said shyly:
"Well... you know my computer desk is by the window. I noticed a rather large gap in the curtains, so I went over to close it..."
"And then, and then!"
Ludwig looked around, then pulled Coco along and went back into the house.
"I was secretly photographed!"
Ludwig said firmly.
"The high-intensity flash used for nighttime shooting blinded me instantly, and I couldn't see anything. I only gradually recovered after finding Coco."
"Flash...?!" Ruo Keke clenched her fists.
Vampires have highly sensitive pupils and are extremely afraid of strong light sources. This is not only because they are inherently afraid of light, but also because strong light can temporarily burn their retinas, causing short-term blindness. Therefore, using a flash to photograph vampires is strictly prohibited by human law.
Since vampires only appear at night, it is impossible to capture a clear image of them without using a flash; therefore, despite vampires having entered human society for several years, there are still very few images of vampires in various media.
"He actually did that to the young lady..."

"He shouldn't have gone far. I'll go deal with him."
Ludwig pulled her back.
"Wait, Coco."
When Coco turned around, Ludwig's expression suddenly became serious.
She has always been so adept at controlling her emotions.
“Coco, I’ll go with you. If we can’t find the person who took the photos, ‘Hilulu’ will be in trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Ruo Keke immediately understood what she meant.
Ludwig enjoys playing video games, and her vanity is satisfied when others praise her skills. Therefore, to avoid trouble in real life, she became a virtual streamer in her spare time.
Her virtual avatar is a silver-haired, red-eyed vampire girl just like her real-life counterpart. The design details are also basically based on her real appearance, in order to take advantage of the human psychology that "virtual avatars and real appearances will not be the same" to cover up her true identity.
Although Coco kept complaining about this, in essence, no one would dare to think in this direction: there are actually beautiful girls who are so similar to the exaggerated virtual avatars.
But if someone were to actually try to uncover her identity, her "disguise" would almost immediately be exposed.
Ludwig took Coco's hand, and the two easily leaped onto the roof.
"Let's go, Coco, let's deal with this guy who's been secretly taking pictures of me."
Chapter 10 How could a beautiful girl be a ghost?
"This is it."
Yin Shang looked up at the door number next to the warehouse gate.
He climbed the wall, flipped over, and his tall figure landed silently in the dark corner behind the wall, just like a cat landing.
"Let me see what the group is secretly hiding in Chongchuan City."
He peeked out from the bushes and saw several drowsy security guards patrolling all the entrances and exits.
"It's your turn, Reinhardt."
Yin Shang patted the canvas-wrapped "long stick" he was carrying on his back, and a wisp of golden light emanated from its tip, spinning as it landed in front of him.
"Oops!"
Yin Shang quickly covered the ball of light in his arms and looked around to make sure no one had seen it.
"Reinhardt, do you have to emit such a bright light?!" he said in a low voice.
Although the "orb of light" in Yin Shang's arms did not make a sound, its voice clearly rang in Yin Shang's mind, carrying a hint of grievance:
“But Master, I am essentially an incarnation of a weapon spirit. Before transforming into this form, I was originally a glowing energy body…”
"Sigh, I know, I was just venting," Yin Shang said, rubbing his forehead.
As the light faded, what appeared before Yin Shang was a robust Persian cat with golden fur all over its body.
Uh...yes, a cat.
"Isn't it reasonable to name a feline Reinhardt?"
—This is what Yin Shang thought when he named the character.
After Reinhardt revealed its form, it looked no different from an ordinary golden Persian cat. However, its pupils were a lighter golden yellow than the deep gold of its fur. If you looked closely at night, you would find that its pupils not only glowed like those of an ordinary cat, but also seemed to have something flowing inside them, shimmering in the light.
"Master, what do you need me to do?"
The golden Persian cat sat upright before Yin Shang, awaiting orders.
Yin Shang pointed to the three or four guards in the distance and gave the order to the Persian cat, which, though robust, still appeared small in the eyes of humans:
"Take them down, but don't kill them."
Reinhardt said:
"Order."
As soon as it finished speaking, it darted out of the bushes and disappeared into the night.
...
...
"Ah Chong, let me see!"
"What are you looking at...we'll talk about it when we get back."
The man named A Chong looked around nervously.
"We've captured something incredible this time!"
Two furtive men jogged along, heading towards the nearby downtown area.
Once they reach the downtown area, they can conveniently enter the subway and then leave the city at the airport.
Perhaps it was the sense of guilt he felt for doing something wrong, or perhaps it was because what he photographed was too sensational, but this voyeur named A-Chong subconsciously developed the idea that "as long as he enters the downtown area, he will be safe."
"Alright, Ah Chong, stop...stop for a second! Why are you running so fast?"
The chubby boy following behind was out of breath. He grabbed Ah Chong and stopped in a small alley.
This was a relatively remote residential area with few streetlights. The two naturally hid in the alley, confident that no one would notice them.
The chubby boy, panting, said, "Even if you managed to film Xilulu, there's no need to be so nervous. Haven't we already uncovered the identities of more than a dozen virtual YouTubers? They're just ordinary people who stay at home; they don't have the guts to chase after you and beat you up. Are you afraid of some weak girl?"
The chubby boy nudged him with his elbow: "Could it be that you're so nervous because Lulu is exactly your type?"
Ah Chong took out his digital camera, fiddled with it for a bit, and pulled up the photos he had just taken.
"Holy shit..."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"How could this be? She actually... she actually is!"
Seeing Ah Chong trembling, the chubby boy impatiently snatched the camera away:
"let me see!"
What caught the chubby boy's eye was a photograph, incredibly clear under a high-powered flash. The lens was zoomed in and pointed at a second-floor window, and the face of the girl standing by the window, trying to draw the curtains, was clearly visible in the photo.
With its willow-leaf-shaped ears and red eyes that glow in the night, it is undoubtedly a vampire!
"No wonder we've been staking out her for so many days, and she never shows up during the day..."
The chubby boy exclaimed in surprise.
"Why would a vampire dress up as a vampire online?"
Ah Chong was trembling like a leaf, trying to snatch the camera back: "Forget about that, Fatty, quick, let's delete this photo!"
Fatty shoved Ah Chong away: "Are you crazy? This is a bombshell! Top anchor Xilulu's real identity is a vampire! Just think how much money we can sell this photo for?"
Ah Chong said, "But that's a crime! It's illegal! Laws all over the world clearly state that you can't use a flash to photograph vampires! We'll go to jail!"
The fat man sneered: "You're such a coward. You're already in this line of work, and you're still worried about breaking the law?"
"We can't offend the vampires! They're man-eating monsters, don't you know that?!" Ah Chong grabbed the fat man and said.
"Alright, you're such a coward. It's no big deal. We'll just anonymously resell it a few times. They won't be able to catch us."
The fat man didn't take it seriously and pulled Ah Chong along, preparing to leave the alley.
"Let's go, let's get away from this winding, awful place."
The two continued walking toward the brightly lit streets in the distance, but things didn't go as planned. They kept ending up in dead ends, and after wandering around several times, they couldn't find their way back.
This is a unique feature of Shigekawa City, and you absolutely must try it.
The three-dimensional urban construction is awe-inspiring; stepping out of the tenth floor turns it into the first floor.
Navigation systems, while not completely unusable in this city, are at least 70% useless in the narrow urban areas.
Thanks to the city's complex infrastructure and the dim night, which often confuse outsiders, the two paparazzi circled around for a good ten minutes, constantly getting lost in the area.
Soon, the nocturnal creatures that came seeking revenge and hunting prey in the darkness set their sights on the two unlucky stalkers.
"It's so dark here. Why doesn't Chongchuan City install more streetlights?" Ah Chong complained.
"..."
"whee."
Ah Chong jumped up: "Fatty, what are you laughing at?"
The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Are you crazy? Weren't you the one laughing?"
