Chapter 021: Vampire

One night, Hagoromo Gitsune found a beautiful woman and prepared to eat her heart and liver.

This was her favorite.

Just as she had chosen her target and was about to strike, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a beautiful woman, yet she's a demon. What a pity."

To be honest, the voice appeared so abruptly that it startled Hagoromo Gitsune, for she hadn't sensed anyone approaching her.

Hagoromo Gitsune spun around quickly and saw a young man sitting on a bench not far away, yet when she had passed by earlier, the bench had been empty.

The man wore a black casual suit and held a can of beer, smiling at her. "Care for a drink?"

"Who are you?"

Hagoromo Gitsune casually knocked out her target and warily eyed the suddenly appearing man.

"Who I am is not important. What matters is what you plan to do."

"What does what I do have to do with you?" Hagoromo Gitsune said mockingly.

"That's true."

The man nodded matter-of-factly, pointing at the woman behind Hagoromo Gitsune. "Although what you do has nothing to do with me, the person you've targeted does."

"What do you mean?" Hagoromo Gitsune thought he was just provoking her.

The man said, "That woman is my prey."

Hagoromo Gitsune naturally didn't believe his nonsense. "What proof do you have that she's your prey?"

The man sneered. "Do you think people like us need so-called proof?"

Hagoromo Gitsune agreed with that statement. "In our world, the strong prey on the weak. If you want to prove she's your prey, prove it with your skills."

She wanted to take this opportunity to test the mysterious man's origins.

But the man didn't give her a chance. Instead, he said, "Forget it. Since you've taken a liking to her, I'll let you have her this time."

With that, the man turned into a swarm of bats and vanished without a trace.

That was the first time Hagoromo Gitsune saw this man, and also the last.

In the following six months, she never saw him again.

After lowering his hand, Wang Bo had a rough idea. Although he didn't know who the man was, judging by his exit method, he was probably a vampire.

As for which world's vampire, Wang Bo wasn't sure.

After all, there were countless worlds with vampires, and the man hadn't revealed any useful information, so Wang Bo couldn't immediately determine his origin.

But since he knew the man was a vampire and his appearance, finding him shouldn't be too difficult.

"Miss Hagoromo Gitsune, thank you for your cooperation." Wang Bo smiled and said, "I'll send you back to your original world now."

Hagoromo Gitsune was startled, and her expression involuntarily changed slightly.

"Don't be so surprised, Miss Hagoromo Gitsune. I told you before, this is my job. You may not trust me, but once you return, you'll understand."

Wang Bo patted her shoulder. "Well then, goodbye, Miss Hagoromo Gitsune."

"Wait..."

Hagoromo Gitsune seemed about to say something, but Wang Bo couldn't be bothered and sent her back to her original world.

However, before sending her off, Wang Bo left her a surprise.

He infused a strand of solar true qi into her body.

This solar true qi wouldn't harm her; instead, it would protect her until she successfully gave birth to Abe no Seimei again.

It wasn't that Wang Bo found her beautiful and wanted to give her preferential treatment.

Rather, Wang Bo knew that Hagoromo Gitsune's current form was a possession. Even if he killed her and sent her back, she would just reincarnate.

Even if Wang Bo destroyed her soul and completely eliminated her, Abe no Seimei would find someone else to give birth to him, just with more trouble.

So the infused solar true qi would hide deep within her body.

Even she herself wouldn't notice.

When she joyfully gave birth to Nue, the solar true qi would enter Nue's body. Once Nue, i.e., Abe no Seimei, successfully emerged, the solar true qi would explode.

At that time, Abe no Seimei would turn into a huge firework, illuminating the world, just like Sky King.

Wang Bo believed that then, whether it was the Nura Clan, the Hanadōin, or Hagoromo Gitsune's side, their expressions would be extremely interesting.

Too bad he wouldn't be there to see it.

After sending off Hagoromo Gitsune, Wang Bo returned to his mansion in Ginza.

As for the Gantz team members outside, that was none of his concern.

"Friday."

"I'm here, master." Friday immediately came out and jumped onto the coffee table.

"Help me find two people. One is Sesshōmaru from the Inuyasha world, and the other is likely a vampire." Wang Bo cast a Transfiguration spell, turning the table into a sculpture of the man.

This man was the traveler Hagoromo Gitsune had met.

"Leave it to me, master!"

Friday was full of energy, hacking into the country's network to search for traces of these two.

Perhaps soon, Wang Bo would find the whereabouts of these two men.

...

Half an hour later, Kishimoto Megumi pushed open the door and entered. "Lord Bo, I'm back."

Wang Bo sat on the sofa, legs crossed, and nodded. "No danger today?"

Kishimoto Megumi shook her head. "I followed your advice and hid. I heard many died in today's battle, many from other Gantz teams."

With an expression of newfound knowledge, she said, "So there are other teams in the world."

Wang Bo could understand her feelings.

After all, when he first saw the story, he also thought there was only one Gantz, since it was so powerful with all kinds of high-tech gadgets, it must be a rare treasure.

But it turned out it could be mass-produced, found all over the world—that was hard to believe.

This black tech was really damn black.

Wang Bo was also thinking that before leaving this world, he would take a Gantz ball and try to analyze its technology.

It was truly amazing for reviving or copying humans.

Wang Bo remembered a very bizarre scene in the story that was astonishing.
