Twisted Dreams-Chapter 294 - 363: Eternal Night Castle

The night was deep; the moon was big and round.

It seemed like it was right outside the window of the chairman’s office at the Demon Club, close enough to touch.

Li Yang glanced back and saw a cluster of small dots on the moon, heading toward the office.

Before long, a flock of bats was noisily flapping their wings, flying into the office.

The bats gathered together, transforming into a human figure.

It was the Vampire Prince, Du Yangming.

Du Yangming’s black magic had improved, and it seemed his rank had increased.

This noble of Hell carried a more pronounced air of ancient elegance.

Du Yangming bowed:

"Master."

Li Yang lit a cigarette and casually asked:

"How have you been lately?"

Du Yangming looked solemn:

"According to your instructions, I am building the Eternal Night Castle!"

Li Yang had long instructed Du Yangming to form an assassin organization.

The capitalists of the Demon Club often couldn’t act, but the killers from Eternal Night Castle could carry out assassination tasks.

In essence, the Demon Club was not Li Yang’s primary combat organization.

The name Eternal Night Castle was chosen by Du Yangming himself.

The meaning of the name was probably related to his identity as a vampire.

According to Daoist sayings, one begets two, two begets three.

The Demon Club is one; Six Paths Biotechnology and Eternal Night Castle are forces stemming from it.

The current derived forces, or the ones in the future, can operate independently while obeying his orders.

Li Yang’s main strategy was laissez-faire.

For example, Six Paths Biotechnology’s ultimate mission was to create extraordinary creatures for Li Yang, delving deep into the mysteries of biological engineering.

At the same time, Six Paths Biotechnology would pursue its own projects and develop independently.

Du Yangming continued to report on the formation of Eternal Night Castle:

"Currently, Eternal Night Castle already has twelve vampires.

The subordinates are ranked by titles such as Baron, Viscount, and Count."

The story of the Countess Vampire and Count Dracula is perhaps the earliest Western vampire film.

Subsequently, many Western film companies and novels used titles to rank vampires’ combat power.

The higher the title, the stronger the combat power.

In fact, this also satirized medieval nobles themselves, who, like vampires, liked to exploit the blood and sweat of the common people.

Du Yangming, upon reaching Tier Two, acquired the [Initial Embrace] talent.

[Initial Embrace: Consumes Spiritual Power to transform humans into Blood Servants.]

[Blood Servants lack wisdom and thought, and their combat power is similar to ordinary people.]

[The Spiritual Power consumed when using Initial Embrace is permanent.]

[Blood Servants die when exposed to sunlight.]

[When a vampire reaches Tier Three, Blood Servants evolve into new vampires.]

[New vampires regard the vampire who performed the Initial Embrace as father or mother.]

Upon reaching Tier Three and possessing the complete ability to transform ordinary people into vampires, Du Yangming introduced this legendary race to the world.

Liu Yuanyuan and Liu Mengmeng, the sisters, were the first vampires Du Yangming transformed after his Tier Three promotion.

The spiritual power consumed by transforming vampires is permanent, so even Tier Three vampires cannot convert vampires at will.

The sisters Liu Yuanyuan and Liu Mengmeng, ranked at Tier Two, held the title of Viscount in Eternal Night Castle.

They could use Initial Embrace to transform ordinary people into their Blood Servants.

Blood Servants lacked wisdom, possessing Tier One combat power.

The second vampire Du Yangming transformed was Lilith.

Lilith was an Evolver created by Leon Jin, with a combat power over Tier One, nearly Tier Two, and exceptional combat talents.

After becoming a vampire, it didn’t take long for her to become a Tier Three vampire, gaining the ability to directly perform Initial Embrace to transform ordinary people into vampires.

Lilith held the title of Count in Eternal Night Castle.

Due to the permanent consumption of Spiritual Power when using Initial Embrace, Du Yangming was not fond of using [Initial Embrace].

As an Apostle, he needed to maintain his formidable combat power, ensuring his Spiritual Power wasn’t weaker than other Apostles.

Lilith, however, didn’t mind the permanent loss of her Spiritual Power.

Even at Tier Two, she frequently used [Initial Embrace], creating many Blood Servants.

Some of those Blood Servants died during Lilith’s ascension to Tier Three.

The remaining Blood Servants successfully advanced to vampires after Lilith became Tier Three.

Perhaps Lilith was the weakest Tier Three, as most of her Spiritual Power was spent on [Initial Embrace] and transforming vampires.

However, Lilith had a group of devoted vampire followers.

Among those new vampires were the old, the young, men, and women, all calling Lilith ’mother’.

In Eternal Night Castle, these new vampires held the title of Baron.

The Vampire Barons’ strength was already considerable.

In terms of combat power, they were second only to Zhang Xiaoyi, Xie Qilin, Ye Fan, and other top-tier extraordinaries in Xia Country.

However, Vampire Barons had the power of immortality, with their only weakness being unable to use their Demon Body during the day.

The claws of Eternal Night Castle weren’t limited to vampires.

Du Yangming was using the resources of the Demon Club to find suitable assassins worldwide, bringing them into Eternal Night Castle.

Under the power of vampires’ Initial Embrace and the resources of the Demon Club, those assassins could all become extraordinary.

In short, it wouldn’t take long for the notorious reputation of Eternal Night Castle to soar, as the Spiritual Energy Revival tide surged across Xia Country.

Listening to Du Yangming’s report, Li Yang was pleased with the progress of Eternal Night Castle.

Being a boss was like this; there was no need to personally do everything; it was good enough if the subordinates worked hard.

Well... if the hard workers did enough this year, the boss could change to a new Ferrari next year.

Being a boss only required pointing out the direction of future development.

Li Yang was satisfied inside, but it didn’t show on his face, he just nodded indifferently.

Du Yangming looked visibly ashamed:

"Recently, I’ve been busy with some personal affairs, so the progress of Eternal Night Castle might have slowed a bit."

Du Yangming was about to get married.

He and his girlfriend Li Mingyue had been in a long-term relationship for many years.

Although he hadn’t disclosed his true identity to Li Mingyue, he appeared to be a school teacher with a car and a house, ready for marriage.

Li Yang didn’t mind his employees’ personal lives, as long as it didn’t affect the operation of the Demon Club.

Li Yang tossed a file from the table to Du Yangming:

"Find her."

Du Yangming hurriedly flipped through the file.

Xiao Yaoyao?

Du Yangming solemnly said:

"Your orders are my mission."

Eternal Night Castle boasted a long edge far beyond any international killer organization.

That was information.

With the Demon Club and the Seven Commandments Association, the information channels held by Eternal Night Castle were vast.

Especially in the South Sea and Imperial Capital of Xia Country, and Yinodton State filled with believers of the Seven Commandments Association in Huaqi.

Even if someone had died, Eternal Night Castle could dig up their ashes.

In the future, as the CF Foundation forum expanded, with more extraordinaries registering accounts, Su Manman could locate any user’s position.

The information power of Eternal Night Castle would just grow stronger.
