00:00Channel Red Novel Chapter 501, a look into the future the two girls were carefully watching
00:16over CIA as she was lying there in the bed. This was the second time Layla had been in this position
00:22and she couldn't help but feel bad for the girl. As Erin saw this look of discomfort on her face,
00:28her heart sank a little. It made her realize that Layla really cared for CIA, someone who Erin didn't
00:35even know that well. Too much time had passed between the two, and if one was to ask her during
00:41her time at school if the two were close friends or not, she would have said no. She didn't know
00:47why, but before she had always been this way, not letting others get close to her, but when she was
00:53that pure. She realized what she was missing, a companion. All she started to think about was
00:59her time with Layla. Do you mind telling me a bit about her? Erin asked. She didn't want to be like
01:07her old self, cold and pushing others away, and rather than be jealous of Layla's new friend,
01:12it was best that she got to know the both of them. Smiling back, Layla had explained what happened to
01:18CIA and why. Who she was and how she really was an agent of Pure. It looks like all three of us have
01:25something in common then, all working for Pure. Erin said, trying to crack a joke. At that moment,
01:33CIA had woken up from where she was. The two jolted a little, preparing for something unexpected to
01:39happen, but there were no screams or noise, just slow movements. CIA went to grab her belly as she
01:46started to remember what happened moments before, there was no wound, and then she quickly went to
01:52look at her nails but they weren't sharp either. Erin's hair color had changed and even her teeth
01:57had sharpened a little. Layla had bumps and when she transformed, she looked even more different.
02:04So CIA was expecting something from herself. But as she felt around her body as such, she felt no
02:11different anywhere. She then clenched her fist expecting some type of newfound strength, but
02:16there was nothing. Did it not work? She said. No, it definitely worked. Erin replied. You nearly
02:27burst the boy's ear drums, and as for Quinn he was lying on the floor in front of you. Past getting hit by
02:33the arrow, CIA couldn't really remember much past that, but if she had changed, what exactly was
02:39she? I know what you're thinking. Said Layla. Edward and Quinn said you were something known as a
02:46banshee. There are a few things I learned about them, apparently they can predict or see things in
02:52the future. But I don't know about their fighting strength. CIA looked a little disappointed, and she
02:59was. She had given up her ability, mostly for her memories, but she had expected something great
03:06in return. The ability to see a future that might not happen, didn't sound great at all.
03:12I know. Layla said in a perky voice with her finger in the air. Why don't we go see some people?
03:20Both you and Erin have just become vampires so I'm sure there's a lot for you to learn,
03:24and I know just the right people. Layla was thinking of going to both Amy and Xander.
03:31Although she initially didn't like the guy, he had protected her in her time of need and the least
03:35she felt like she could do was say thanks. When she thought about Amy, she remembered she was
03:41actually one of the ones that were at the top of her class. If anyone could help them and figure out
03:46what a banshee was, it would be her. With the three of them being vampires, they wouldn't stand out
03:53too much. Although there would be some who would remember their faces from the stage.
03:58But Edward had said they were free to leave the castle. If anything, the vampires would be on
04:04their best behavior at the moment. Erin didn't mind herself too much, but she was a little worried.
04:10Before the girls had gone off, Quinn pulled Erin to the side to explain to her what she really was.
04:17He had also informed her to not let anyone know. The vampires couldn't find out unless she
04:22told them anyway. Still, she wanted to practice her new powers and also spend more time with the
04:29girls, so it sounded like a great idea. CIA was in for it as well. She wanted to see now that she
04:36was a vampire if there was any way for her to get her lost memories back. With this, the three girls
04:43decided that they would redress into some new clothes in the tent's castle and head out.
04:47As CIA got out of the bed and was about to leave with the girls, a strange ringing was heard.
04:55She placed her hands naturally on her head. Huh, what did you say? She asked. The two girls turned
05:04around looking confused, for they hadn't said anything at all, but they could see something
05:08was going on. Slowly the talking started to become clearer and she could make out that it was several
05:14whispers going off one by one. Back, go, earth. What? True dream, no. Fighting. True what? CIA said,
05:27as she didn't quite understand what was happening. And then, her eyes started to fill with white as
05:33the noises in her head got louder and an image appeared in her head. A crumbled down building,
05:39destroyed. Fields filled with craters in the city that was once there, no more. She couldn't
05:46recognize exactly where this place was, but she knew it was earth. It was an image of an entire city
05:52which had been destroyed. Then the image had suddenly changed again, moving to the schools
05:58and the group standing there including Quinn, with a shocked and frightened look on their face.
06:02Hey CIA, CIA, are you okay? Layla asked, grabbing her but not wanting to shake her at the same time,
06:11for fear it may do more damage if she did. Yeah. CIA replied slowly as she came to.
06:19I think. I just had a vision. Back underneath in the 10th leader's tomb, Quinn was still trying to wrap
06:26his head around what was happening. There were four tombs that had the blue circle lit up indicating
06:32there were vampires in their eternal sleep. Quinn had gone to check the fifth tomb,
06:37because he noticed the pattern on it was similar to the book he had been given and as soon as he
06:41had touched it, a spirit that seamlessly had left his own body was now hovering in front of the tomb,
06:47looking at both him and Edward. Vincent. Edward said with his eyes wide open.
06:54A lump was felt in his throat. He thought he may have never see his leader again.
06:58Quinn. The one that he had served for many years, but here he was, and although he didn't look exactly
07:04the same. He could feel a connection between the two. He wasn't the only one that recognized him
07:11though, for Quinn did as well, the spirit had a striking resemblance to a certain man. It was the
07:17man who would be in his tutorial videos. The man who had taught him the flash step and hammer strike.
07:23I have been waiting to speak to you like this for a long time, Quinn. Vincent said. The voice wasn't
07:31speaking from the spirit itself, but when words were said both Edward and Quinn could hear it in
07:36their heads. First I would like to apologize for everything that happened to you. It would be a lie
07:43if I said I didn't think it would happen, otherwise I would have never made the book in the first place.
07:47The system started to explain and it did indeed look like he had a sad look on his face.
07:54But the real reason why I am apologizing to you, is because I have been lying to you this whole time.
08:00Although this is the first time you are seeing me like this, I have been with you always.
08:06Inside with the system. When I said that it was an A.I. answering all your questions,
08:11it was not, it was me. For some reason, a slight pain was felt in Quinn's chest.
08:18Was it because he felt a little betrayed? Of course he thought an A.I. system to be advanced
08:23as this was near enough impossible, and he thought that maybe it was the leader,
08:27but the one thing he did think, was that the A.I. could not lie to him. But if he was able to lie
08:34about something as big as this. What other lies had he been hiding behind?
08:39I'm sorry about this, but there were some restrictions, and I thought it would be best
08:44for you to get to a certain point before you learn the truth. Then are you going to tell
08:49me everything now? Quinn asked, with slight anger in his voice. Or are you going to keep
08:55avoiding the question like you always do? I will tell you everything. Vincent said in a calming voice
09:02and suddenly, Quinn's eyes started to darken, his vision started to fade. He tried to fight it as
09:08best he could, but he felt no strength, as if something was taking over him. The feeling
09:14he had right now. It was the same feeling when he had first ever obtained the vampire system.
09:20Channel Red Novel Chapter 502, through the eyes of another the weak feeling completely took over
09:26Quinn's body and once again his vision had disappeared. The last time something like this
09:31had happened to him, was when he had first obtained the book. His mind was currently conscious,
09:37but he could see nothing. It was strange to describe because it wasn't like when one's eyes were closed.
09:43There was no color, nothing. It wasn't like when he would meditate and go to an empty space,
09:49he felt like he was nowhere. Until finally, something started to appear.
09:54Am I waking up again? Quinn thought. But it was strange since his mind was already awake,
10:02so why weren't his eyes and body acting as if it was already awake? Finally, Quinn could see himself
10:09in a room, however, it wasn't one that he recognized. The room was dark, with a shade of
10:15blue lighting that would continue to flash from the side. Vincent, it seems like there is an incident
10:20going on down below. A voice was heard from his side. Then, Quinn's vision had changed without his
10:28control, looking to the man on his right, who was in a nice black and white suit. He couldn't believe
10:33it, but the person he was looking at now looked like a young version of Edward. An Edward that was
10:39at least fifty years younger. Once again, without Quinn's control, his body was moving, everything he
10:46could see wasn't part of his doing and his body walked over to the large glass pane by the
10:50side. And he could finally see what he was in, or at least had an idea. Looking down, there were
10:57people, too many people to count and all of them were dancing while flashing lights were going in
11:02and out. It was to a kind of music Quinn had never heard before. It was a place known as a nightclub.
11:10At that moment, Quinn knew what was happening, based on what he was seeing, based on the younger
11:15looking version of Edward and how he had called out his name. Quinn was in the past. But it wasn't
11:22like how the bone claw had shown him. Where he could see from high above everything that was happening.
11:28This was different, Quinn right now was Vincent himself, and he was experiencing everything that
11:33Vincent did back then. They were in the past. Although he was in Vincent's body, he had no control over
11:40the actions or what he would say. It was like a personal VR movie experience, where you watched
11:46everything as the main character. What are you trying to show me, Vincent? Is it something I need
11:53to see rather than just tell me? Quinn said, but there was no answer as everything continued to play out.
12:00Just then, a man came running into the room, slamming the door open. Sir, I think the situation might
12:07soon get out of hand, it's best if you do come down yourself. Looking out of the glass window,
12:13Vincent watched what was happening. There seemed to be two girls standing by the bar, along with two boys.
12:20While another larger group of just boys were arguing over something. A group of about eight in size.
12:27It was clear if the two groups would get into a scrap, which one would come out worse, for one was bigger
12:33than the other. And even the two boys who were with the girls didn't look exactly confident.
12:39As there was a single black-haired girl standing in front of her three friends that seemed to be
12:44shouting at the larger group. People are already starting to leave, and I think if a fight was to
12:49break out even more people will leave. The man said worriedly. Would you like me to deal with this one?
12:56Edward asked. No, it's okay, Vincent replied. I can handle it. Outside on the club floor,
13:06the arguing had gotten to the point where the group of people dancing had spread out and made a circle
13:11around the two groups who were arguing. On the group of eight males, there was one man holding his
13:16face that appeared to be quite red, while his friend was stood in front of him shouting back at the girl.
13:21You think you can just hit whoever you want to because you're a girl? The man shouted. Are you
13:28crazy? Are you just going to completely disregard what you did back there? The girl shouted back.
13:36My friend already told you she wasn't interested. She tried to leave the seat by the bar and get away
13:42before you grabbed her hand. She told you to let go. Let go. Then what did you do? You pulled her
13:50towards you and put your lips on her. I should have done a lot more than slap him. The girl with the
13:57black hair shouted, and her friend stood behind her, in tears being comforted by the boy. As for the
14:04other boy with them, he looked uncomfortable as if he was trying to pull away, pretending he didn't
14:08know anyone in the group. She had been flirting with me all night. The man with the red cheek said.
14:16And she didn't say no when I was offering to buy her drinks all night. But when it comes to ask for
14:21a kiss or to go out with me, she says no, if she wasn't interested, then don't accept the drinks.
14:28Katie knew what her friend had done wasn't right, but that still didn't give the man the right to do
14:32what he had done. And when she saw that her friend was asking for help and trying to push the boy away,
14:38of course she would come in and help. Finally, the boy who was wandering around and hadn't come in to
14:44say anything had stepped in. The one who was stood behind Katie. The two didn't really know each other.
14:52He had just been invited along for a double date with his friend's girlfriend, so all he wanted to
14:57do was not get into trouble. Look, is there any way we can solve this, and just forget about this?
15:04Enjoy the rest of the night? He asked. Then a smile appeared on the boy's faces.
15:12Of course there is. Just leave those two girls with us and we will show them what a good night is all
15:18about. The boy walked forward as he said this and reached out his hand to grab Katie's wrist.
15:23As soon as the other saw him walk forward, he had already backed off, for fear of getting into a
15:29fight with eight of them. She pulled her hand away and looked behind her for her friends to help,
15:35but the boys and even her supposedly best friend, weren't coming forward to stop them.
15:40What a bunch of ours. Suddenly, the hand was slapped away, and someone's back had stepped in front of
15:47her. I think it's best if you guys leave this place. You have had your fun.
15:53Who the hell are you? Can't you see it's none of your business?
15:58Stop trying to be a white knight and get out of the way. The man said as he tried to shove Vincent
16:03to the side and grab the girl once again. But when he went to shove him out of the way,
16:09by banging his shoulder into Vincent, it felt solid and his arm felt sore. It was like he had just barged
16:15into a solid wall. Looking at Vincent, he could tell he couldn't have weighed much,
16:20so how had he not moved? Do you not know who I am? Vincent asked and his eyes started to glow with
16:27red. The eight of you will leave this place immediately. He said, and soon after they
16:33were following his orders, without saying a word. Turning around, Katie was waiting to see who her savior
16:40was, but when she saw him, she wasn't expecting to see such a handsome good-looking man dressed in a
16:45high-quality tailored suit. It suited him perfectly, and his looks were one of a model.
16:53She replied as she bowed down. Leave, Vincent said. These words had shocked her, wasn't this man here
17:01to just protect her seconds ago? You can wait in the lobby for ten minutes while that other group
17:06goes and then you can leave after them. All of your drinks will be paid for the evening, so don't worry.
17:13I just don't want another incident to happen with you and your friends. It's bad for business,
17:19so just leave. Vincent said in a cold tone. Katie couldn't believe it, their group hadn't started it.
17:27Although she was the first one to attack and her friend did lead the other boy on.
17:32So she couldn't say they weren't totally not to blame. Either way, whoever this man was,
17:37he had made a fair deal for her group and besides her mood was soured for the night, anyway.
17:43Getting their things, they decided to leave the place as had been asked of them.
17:47When the group was busy leaving, Katie's friend had quickly ran on over to her,
17:52grabbing her around the arm. She had the biggest smile on her face and one wouldn't think she had
17:58just gone through what she had done seconds ago. Do you know who that was? Her friend said with a
18:04smile. It was the nightclub owner, Vincent. It seems like the rumors are true about him.
18:11He really is a cool hot stud, did you see how he saved you from those boys?
18:17Saved us, I don't think he saved us, Katie replied. It looked more like he was trying to save his
18:23business. While still down on the nightclub floor, Edward had appeared by his side and whispered into
18:29his ear. They have been gathered in the back, sir. He said. Leaving the nightclub floor and the toe went to
18:37go into a separate room. They went through a heavily locked and secured door that was guarded
18:42by staff men outside as well. When they entered the room was incredibly dark, pitch black almost,
18:48but this was fine for both Vincent and Edward. Going through the room, at the very back,
18:54eight figures could be seen bunched up together. Looking at them, each of them had their hands tied
19:00up behind their back and one of the boys had a red cheek on his mark. It looks like you boys were a
19:06little unlucky today, Vincent said. For you will be going to a special place. A place away from
19:12everyone else. While Quinn was seeing everything, he was wondering what the importance of it all was.
19:19They were in the human world but not the vampire settlement, and what exactly was Vincent doing
19:24owning a nightclub, and it looked like seeing these boys here, he would have his answer.
19:29Channel Red Novel Chapter 503, Say Min and OU the eight men who had been caught and tied up at the
19:35back, were the same men that had caused the commotion in the club. Seeing this, Quinn was just wondering
19:42what Vincent was planning to do with them. More than once now he had heard multiple people refer to
19:48people in the tent as crazy and perhaps Vincent was also one of these crazy people.
19:52Just what was he planning to do with them, Quinn wondered. However, Quinn didn't get to find out
19:59the answer to that. The reason being, whatever they had planned to do, the task was left to Edward
20:05and the others as Quinn followed to live on in Vincent's memory. It was strange for Quinn,
20:10he thought that maybe once he had seen the scene he needed to see, he would be transported to the next
20:15one. Same as what had happened with the bone claw. Linking all together why he was being shown
20:22these things. Instead, Quinn was forced to continue watching Vincent's every move.
20:28He saw him leave the nightclub and head back home. Clean his apartment before waiting for
20:33the sun to rise and falling asleep. If anything, it was boring. This didn't happen just once,
20:41but it was as if Quinn was stuck in a simulation. Every day he would follow Vincent's life, of going to the
20:47nightclub at night, working. Incidents like what happened on the first night would happen every
20:53night, but it was rare for him to get involved. Because Vicent wouldn't directly get involved,
20:59Quinn didn't really see if anything strange would happen with them like he did the first night.
21:04As the days continued, Quinn realized that this was more than just seeing Vincent's memory.
21:09He was living them and suddenly, he was starting to feel very lonely.
21:14Each day in and out doing the same thing. Not a change in routine, and even the small
21:20differences that would happen throughout the day felt the same. Quinn was wondering if he could
21:25live like this and if his life at the castle would have been any different if he did.
21:30While Quinn was living his life as Vincent, the lives of others would continue on as well,
21:35and this was true for one in particular. For a girl with long black hair was sitting at her desk,
21:41with a mountain of paperwork in front of her.
21:44Hark! What the hell is wrong? Do they really have to know every little detail of what happened?
21:51She said screaming as she was going to pull her hair out. Just then, the man who had come to the
21:57club with her that day came towards her desk and threw several pieces of paper.
22:02Katie lifting her head had a look at them and each one had a picture on the top right hand corner.
22:07These are the people from the club, Gavin? Katie asked.
22:12Yeah, it's a little strange. Their family doesn't seem to be concerned they're missing.
22:18Not one of them, but their workplace was the one that filed the missing report.
22:23Apparently, one of the guys who works with them was concerned and went to check up on him,
22:27but when he went to his apartment, there were no signs of him ever returning there.
22:32Gavin explained. So the last place they were seen was at that nightclub? Katie asked with a dissatisfied
22:39look, as she remembered the events that occurred there last time. Alright, let's check it out tonight
22:45then. Katie stood up from her seat, and around her waist, a certain badge could be seen with the
22:51words detective written on them. That night, Quinn was going through Vincent's usual routine now,
22:58and he felt so strange he was wondering when it was going to end. It wasn't as if time passed faster
23:04while in Vincent's body. Every minute felt real to him. It was making him understand why some vampires
23:11eventually chose to go into eternal sleep. For how many years had he been doing the same routine?
23:17The other thought that had crossed his mind was the fact that leaders were meant to stay at the castle.
23:22It was clear Vincent hadn't left the vampire settlement yet at this point in time,
23:28for several vampires including Edward were still by his side. Had they given him a mission?
23:34If so, what one was it, but it looked as if Quinn would soon find out, for something had changed in
23:40the everyday routine. Vincent, today the quota needs to be met, we have prepared everything as usual,
23:46Edward said. That night, the nightclub opened as usual, but this time. Rather than staying in his
23:54private room watching from above. Vincent had chosen to be on his own at the bar. Drinking a strong,
24:01clean whiskey. Whenever it was a night like this one, he would do the same. A vampire's taste was strange.
24:09They weren't able to taste many things, so they couldn't really appreciate what humans had.
24:14Often times he would see people gather just to enjoy a meal, but he would never experience the joy of
24:20something like that. But Vincent and other vampires could appreciate the taste of good alcohol.
24:27Well, I wonder what the big shot owner is doing here in front of all of the normal folk like us.
24:32A female voice said. Usually, Vincent wouldn't remember the voice of every person he had met,
24:38but for some reason, he had remembered this one, and when he turned around, he did indeed see the
24:43girl he helped from that night. This time she was wearing a stunning red dress that showed off her
24:49curves well. At the same time, he had spotted the man that was with her that night going through the
24:55crowd. Going to strangers one by one. As he closed his eyes, he could focus on their conversation.
25:02Hey, I'm looking for my friend, his name's Greg, he was meant to be here, he looks like this.
25:09Gavin asked as he pulled out a photo. It was a strange interaction to have,
25:14and he wasn't exactly being careful about who he asked. Of course, although Vincent was sitting
25:20in his seat far away, he could see and hear everything. They are looking into the missing people.
25:26Are they both police? Vincent thought, but that wouldn't matter too much on a day like today.
25:33Is it wrong for me to be here? Vincent said as he took another drink.
25:38Most people would sip a whiskey, but he was drinking it clean without flinching,
25:43as if it had no effect or taste at all. When Katie saw the man, she thought, who better to ask than the
25:49owner? If their questioning couldn't get them anywhere, then they could always ask to see the club's tapes.
25:56See if they saw anything that day. She decided to sit down next to him, but his aura was intimidating.
26:04It was something she had never really felt before. Often more times than not she wouldn't be shy,
26:09but he had this look on his face that made it hard for her to be the first to approach.
26:14Why do you do? What you do? Vincent asked. Huh, what do you mean? She replied.
26:23Don't you think life is quite boring? We follow what others say, the whole of society follows a system,
26:30we get assigned jobs and roles, but for what? In the end, what is the point of it all? To rise to the
26:37top and get in a position of power. But that only gives us all more responsibility. It doesn't give
26:44us freedom, so what exactly is freedom? Vincent spoke. This was something Katie wasn't expecting.
26:52She never thought a man would be rambling on such thoughts in his head. I don't really understand what
26:58you're saying, but I'm kind of a go-with-the-flow type of person you see. She replied. I do what I
27:04want if it feels right. I had a load of bad stuff happen to me in the past, I'm sure we all have,
27:11but someone said something to me that changed me a little. The biggest influence on your life is you.
27:17It's not anyone else, it's not your job or the people you follow, but you. If you are bored,
27:24then change it. If you don't like your job, then do something else. Katie said with a sweet smile.
27:32Vincent turned his head and looked at her. The whole time he was speaking and listening he was
27:37looking towards the crowd of people as if he was trying to find an answer. When he looked at her,
27:42that was when she realized how beautiful this man really was, but not only that, how lonely his eyes
27:48were. As expected, an idiotic answer from someone who doesn't understand the weight nor has no such
27:55responsibility, Vincent said. Katie wanted to snap back, this man was a complete stranger and she was
28:01only trying to cheer him up, and in return, she had been called an idiot, but suddenly the man stood up.
28:08There are some things you can't control in your life, Vincent said. And this is one of them. At that
28:14moment, a hissing sound was heard, and following after, gas was starting to enter the room. The club
28:21was being filled with it. Some people started to scream while others were collapsing onto the floor.
28:27They banged against the doors, but it was useless as the whole place was locked,
28:32and their voices weren't heard over the incredibly loud music being played. Soon, even Katie's vision
28:38started to blur, but she could see the man who was standing beside her was unaffected by the whole
28:43thing, and finally, she had passed out, along with every human in the club. Channel Red Novel
28:49chapter 504, I'll take her not a single human soul was awake in the nightclub, and just like with the
28:55eight men from the first night, each one of them was rounded up. But not only that, any signs of what
29:01the nightclub once was, were being completely demolished. The whole sight was something Quinn
29:07couldn't believe. He wanted to shout out, stop them, ask them what they were doing, what they had planned
29:13to do with all the people in that room. But all he was in this story, was a bystander. Soon he came to
29:21the realization that everything that was happening, had already happened. Watching everything was Vincent
29:27and Edward. So are you ready to head back again for the rest of the year? Edward said. Jim will be
29:34happy you're back, you know he asks about you every day. At that moment, he could see the girl he was
29:40talking to seconds ago, being dragged on the floor away like the rest of them. Make sure everything is
29:46sorted, we can't have anyone finding out, Vincent said as he walked off. Everything had been done in a
29:53matter of hours, and the vampires were quick to work. Eventually, the group of them including Edward had
30:00all returned, and were once again in the dark room. With them, several large vehicles that had a cage
30:06filled with the people inside. Powering them for the movement was the blue crystals. All that was left
30:13to do was turn on the teleporter, and it was time for them to head back to the vampire settlement.
30:18When the last person walked through, a strange device was thrown on the ground. A countdown was shown
30:25and a few seconds later, it had exploded, destroying any evidence of the advanced technology that had
30:30yet to be introduced into the human world. Following Vincent's movements, Quinn noticed that the place
30:37they were in wasn't exactly the same as the settlement they knew today. It looked slightly different and
30:42there was only one moon in the sky. Which would suggest the portal they used was still on Earth.
30:49The people including Edward were busy escorting the group of people somewhere, and Vincent himself was to
30:54report to the king of his duties. During the report, Quinn had found out what those people were to be
31:00used for and what Vincent's job was. It seemed like Vincent's job every year was to find humans that would
31:07be used as a blood source for everyone. There was a date that was always set and a quota he had to hit.
31:14How many years he had been doing it for Quinn had no idea. All he knew was the way he was acting,
31:21he had become numb to doing such a task, or he never cared for the humans in the first place.
31:27Still, Quinn felt like the Vincent he knew now and the AI that would usually talk to,
31:32they seemed like two entirely different people. Something had to have changed.
31:37As for the current king that was there, it didn't look like the one that Quinn had seen.
31:42It was making it hard for him to place when exactly everything had happened.
31:46All he knew is it wasn't the first king, neither was it the current one.
31:52Chapter mid, when Vincent returned to his castle, there was someone waiting there, waiting for him.
31:58It was a man with short brown hair and his lips would stick out a little further than usual.
32:04This man's name was Jim. Sir, did you have a nice trip?
32:07I bet you have many stories to tell me this time. Jim said.
32:13I'm a little tired, Vincent replied. Do you have any news about the 10th Settlement?
32:20Of course sir, I understand. I have prepared your bed for you already. Jim said.
32:27And as for the people ever since you gifted them those power crates to help move their belongings,
32:32the people have been even happier. I also set up your research lab just the way you like it in case
32:38there is anything you want. Jim replied. Thank you, please continue to look after the people,
32:44after my rest, I will be going to the lab, Vincent replied. Jim was a strange man.
32:51He was Vincent's other vampire knight and while Edward would often be with Vincent.
32:56Jim was left in charge of the castle to look after the people.
32:59However, Jim had a strange fascination with Vincent that Edward just never understood quite well.
33:07Because Jim, although he didn't look it, was even older than Vincent. In a way,
33:12they were related and Jim was Vichent's great uncle. But their relationship never seemed to be like so.
33:19If one was to take a look, they would think it was the other way round.
33:23Jim always was respectful to Vincent and admired him. Vincent never told Edward why their
33:29relationship was like this. So the whole thing was a mystery. Vincent certainly did rest when he
33:36returned, but it wasn't for long, and soon after he would go straight to his research lab Quinn
33:41seeing this place, knew it was exactly the same as the lab that Logan was using. Only at the moment,
33:48it was more full. With materials and liquids lying around all over the place. He got straight to work and
33:55was silent. The whole thing Quinn didn't really understand, but he could tell Vincent was incredibly
34:01focused. He would often while working taste the strange liquid he was trying to create, which was
34:07red in color, but each time he would shake his head in disappointment. If he needed a break,
34:13he would start to work on other things, like strange weapons. What interested Quinn most though,
34:19was from time to time he would look at his notes. When this happened, Quinn had gotten a chance to
34:24read them. Trying to see what he was working on, and after a lot of back and forth and flipping through
34:30pages, Quinn finally understood a little of what Vincent was trying to do. He was trying to make a
34:36replacement of blood for the vampires. So they no longer needed to rely on humans anymore. Things were
34:43starting to make sense. Arthur had explained some of the laws that were agreed upon between the
34:49Punishers and the council when he had left. Of course, he knew that they needed blood to survive,
34:55or at least not to turn into crazed, hungry blood suckers. So there was no rule saying they couldn't
35:01exactly get blood from humans. However, there was a rule about breeding humans. Using them as some type of
35:09cattle. A life like that, Arthur just felt was too cruel. They had no choice but to go to the human
35:16world every so often and pick the unfortunate to be used as a blood source. What Quinn was wondering,
35:23though, was if Vincent was doing this out of his own choice, or was it something that the king had
35:28ordered him to do? Eventually, it looked like Vincent had run out of the source material of the red
35:34liquid he was trying to make. When he went to leave the room, he could see Jim standing by the door.
35:41Jim, didn't I tell you to look after the people? What are you doing here? Vincent asked.
35:48Well, now that Edward is back sir, he is dealing with those normal duties.
35:53This gives me time to help you with your work if you so wish. I'm not a fool, you know,
35:59I could greatly help. As he spoke towards the end, Jim sounded as if he was getting more excited.
36:06You know I can't do that, Jim please. Vincent said, and Jim quickly realized his place and calmed back
36:14down. I assume that you are looking for something. They should be awake by now. Jim said. Would you
36:22like me to go fetch one? Jim knew Vincent's routine in and out, he had been working on the same thing for
36:28years after all, and their conversation never seemed to differ. So he thought, just like today,
36:35he would go get what Vincent needed and return. Hoping one day he would change his mind when asking
36:41to help him with his research. But today was different, as for the first time, Vincent had
36:46replied differently. Actually, I would like to go get one myself. Only a fool does the same thing again
36:54and again and expects the same result. Vincent replied. Maybe there is something else that I'm
37:00missing. With this said, the two of them traveled to their decided location. Finally, they had arrived,
37:07and the two of them were now at the ninth castle. Around the back of the castle was a large square
37:13shaped building. The ninth family was in charge of all the prisoners, and this was their prison.
37:19Upon entering the prison, the two of them continued to walk. Strange creatures could
37:26be seen as they walked through the halls and a few vampires here and there, but eventually,
37:31they had reached their destination. They were looking at the cells full of humans. Most of them
37:37inside looked like they were shaking, shivering at what they had seen and wondering what had become of
37:41them. Hey, you! You tricked us! Get us out of here! A voice shouted. Usually, the humans would have
37:52learned their place by now and had broken down into silence. Too afraid of what might happen to them if
37:58they acted out. From time to time they may have been screams and noises but not clear speech. So
38:05Vincent was quite surprised to hear this. As he moved over to a different cell, he could see her.
38:12The same girl from the nightclub that one time. If I get out of here, I swear the first person I'm
38:18going to kill is you! She shouted. Vincent smiled back at her and said. I'll take this one. Channel
38:28Red Novel Chapter 505, The Escape. As requested, Katie had been taken out of her cell, and both Jim and
38:36Vincent along with her were on their way back to the castle. It was the first time Katie had left the
38:41cell and was wide awake. So turning head around, she took everything in, seeing the fantastic sight.
38:49Everything around them looked as if it had been made from the Victorian era. Yet, somehow there were
38:55signs of modern technology being used in certain places. A cashless society, kids playing with virtual
39:02machines and such, and they even had automated delivery systems. Vehicles that seemed to be
39:08moving without the need of any help from outsiders. Where the hell am I? Katie asked. Shut up, don't you
39:16talk to him like that. Jim snapped at the girl, and it looked like he was about to hit her at the back of
39:21the head as a reminder, but Vincent had turned around before he could do so, and his eyes, he could read
39:27his eyes, they were telling him to stop. You don't need to know, Vincent said, as they continued on
39:34walking towards the castle. It was clear to her that this man was the one in charge, and he had been
39:40the organizer of the whole thing at the nightclub. Perhaps he was even the reason for the boys who had
39:45gone missing earlier as well. The question was, just what was about to happen to her and the rest of
39:51them? When she had come to, they were walking through the hallways of the prison, and she had seen things
39:57she only imagined in her nightmares, or on the movie screen. Is this hell? She thought. If she had died
40:06and gone to such a place, she definitely would have believed it. Finally arriving at the castle, they had
40:12gone to his research lab immediately, and Jim, as usual, was kept out of it. So the only ones in the room
40:19were both Katie and Vincent. She hadn't been tied up or anything, and simply brought along.
40:26Are they not worried I will try to escape? She thought. Not saying a word, Vincent got straight
40:32to work, wrapping a plastic tube around the top of her bicep and inserting a needle, taking some of
40:37her blood. Katie wanted to move, she wanted to reject, but when their two eyes had met, she was frozen
40:44in place. Her body wasn't listening to her, and she felt like she could do nothing. Katie remained
40:51seated on a stool that was placed in the corner of the room, and Vincent, with his new blood,
40:56looked happy. As if he could make great progress. He continued to work and work, and finally,
41:03the silence was broken with a question. What are you doing with my blood? Katie asked.
41:09She knew she wouldn't get an answer of where they were or what they had seen, but maybe he would
41:14have answered her on this. I'm trying to create a blood substitute for us. That way, we no longer
41:21need to rely on your kind. Maybe we can even move planets. Vincent said without moving his head from
41:28his work. Move planets? Katie thought the man was mad. The humans hadn't even been able to step foot on
41:36Mars yet, but here he was talking about moving to another planet. Although there was something else
41:42that he had said that worried her, the words your kind. Seeing how engrossed Vincent was in his work,
41:48Katie thought she needed to do something to get out of here. The images of those creatures kept
41:54popping in her head, and she was sure this wasn't a safe place. Looking to her right, there was a
41:59cabinet that was full of large glass flasks and beakers. Slowly, she started to lean over,
42:06and out from the cabinet she grabbed a large glass container and kept it behind her, and all she did
42:11now was wait. After the first blood sample was taken, Vincent was ready to take another. When he
42:18walked over to Katie, he noticed that the cabinet was open. Not to mention he could hear her moving about
42:24before. Still, he decided to continue walking forward as if he knew nothing, and when he had
42:30gotten close enough. From behind her back, she swung the glass container as hard as she could hitting
42:36Vincent right on the face. A loud smash was heard, but Vincent hadn't even flinched, nor did his head
42:43move. The container was no more as it had shattered with the impact. When looking at him, she could see
42:50several cuts that had been made across his handsome face. However, a few seconds later, and in front of
42:56her very eyes, those wounds started to heal at a pace that she could see. Not knowing what else to do,
43:03she decided to run to the door. It was right there in front of her, with nothing blocking her way,
43:09if she could somehow make it, maybe she could escape. She didn't really know what she was thinking,
43:15but she just wanted to leave. But then, suddenly Vicent appeared directly in front of the door as
43:21if he had teleported. There is a reason why I felt no need to tie you up, Vincent said. In her hopeless
43:28situation like this, Katie felt like the only thing she could do was smile. After that incident,
43:34Katie was returned to her cell with the rest of them, and in her own cell was Gavin as well.
43:39Vicent went away back to his room, and most of the vampires would now sleep as the sun started to rise.
43:47Of course, the prison cell was mostly covered, so the sun hardly shone inside in the first place.
43:54Are you okay, did they do anything strange to you? Gavin asked. Gavin was Katie's partner,
44:01and he had also been taken to the vampire settlement. I'm fine, more than I should be.
44:06She thought as she felt like she had gotten off lightly. At any point in time,
44:12she knew the man was able to kill her but had chosen not to. What about you, did anything happen
44:18here? She asked. They seemed to be selecting some people at random. At first, someone came over,
44:26and they took a bit of blood from everyone. Gavin lifted his arm showing the small mark.
44:31It was strange, it was like we couldn't do anything to fight back, as if our minds were forced to do
44:37what they had said. But then after, a couple of strange looking vampires came in, I saw them talking
44:44to the guards. They then looked at us all, like we were some type of animal in a zoo and eventually,
44:50the vampire raised their hands pointing, and they were picked off somewhere. I thought the same thing
44:56had happened to you, but you're the first one to have returned. They waited that night for the other
45:01people to return that Gavin was talking about. Still, unlike with Katie, those two people never
45:08did return, and this just made it even harder for them to get to sleep that night. Each day they were
45:13fed food and water like normal, and someone would come over to take their blood every two or so days,
45:19nothing was said, and they weren't informed of anything. As for Vincent, he too would come every
45:25day and ask for Katie. It was the same routine, he would take her to his lab, and they would talk for
45:31a bit. Without fail, she would try to escape in some elaborate way, but it never worked. Through their
45:39conversation, Katie found out that they were vampires. As time went by, Vincent started to be more
45:46honest with her. He saw no reason to hide it. She would be here for the rest of her life anyway until
45:53she was no longer of any use to them. Eventually, Katie saw no need to try to escape anymore.
46:00It felt useless but more so than that, she was looking forward to her talks she would have with
46:05Vincent. Unlike the others, they were never taken out of the cell unless it was for blood or to be
46:11cleaned up and such. But, she was able to go outside and experience the settlement.
46:17She never saw the sun again but she now understood why. However, one day something had changed.
46:25Two well-dressed vampires had appeared, and Gavin recognized them straight away.
46:30They were the vampires that had come during the first day, while Katie was away with Vincent.
46:36These vampires talked to the guards once more, and there seemed to be a slight exchange of
46:40something between their hands. Unsure what it was, but Gavin noticed it was bright red in color and
46:47crystal-like. The two men went cell by cell, inspecting and looking at all of the humans.
46:53Why do all of their eyes look incredibly dull and weak? The vampire said.
46:59I can't have one dying on me that quickly like the last one. Perhaps, but you must also remember that
47:06human bodies are several times weaker than vampires, you have to control your strength.
47:11Eventually, the two vampires had reached the cell that Katie and Gavin were in, and the vampires had
47:17spotted her. A human beauty who still had a fire in their eyes. Not looking dead like the others.
47:25Oh, she is a nice one, indeed. I'll take her. The vampire said.
47:32The cell doors were open, and Katie was left with two unknown vampires.
47:37For the first time, she was being taken away, and it wasn't by Vincent.
