Chapter 552: Double Battle

Rossetti and I reached the basement without suffering any impediments. We had already cleared most of the vampires in the first level, and none of them fled to the basement because…apparently there was nowhere for them to go downstairs and they didn't want to be trapped.

Huh…that was weird. You would expect some sort of underground tunnel or escape path in the basement, but nothing the characters from a shoujo manhua did made any sort of sense. Human or vampire, their every action and decision had been utterly illogical. Like…allying with the murderers of your parents to take revenge on a sect that asked them to sacrifice themselves to save others instead of taking revenge on the murderers themselves? Or snapping a photograph of someone's hand, missing out her face entirely, and blackmailing her with it? Or how about leaving out vital information such as a beggar visiting the schools right before they were destroyed, only to reveal it after the heroine had met him?
