He turned his head and looked at Ripples with a complicated expression, then said:

They said you're an artificial vampire, too, and the most successful one.

Ripple, upon hearing this, simply smiled and turned her gaze to Morgan, gesturing for him to take advantage of the other party's lucidity and quickly ask his questions.

"Mark, can you tell me what's going on"

"Father, I was doing well in the town where my mother lives. Then one night, the police came to the door and said that you were seriously injured while on a mission and being rescued. They were ordered to take us to see you for the last time."

At that time, my mother and grandmother went to church for worship. I said I wanted to call my mother and grandmother, but the police officer told me they came in two cars, and the other car went to the church to pick people up. He asked me to leave with them first.

I'm worried it might be a scam. I even called your phone, but no one answered, so I got into the police car. Shortly after getting in, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I seemed to be in an operating room. There were people in surgical gowns and masks all around me, monitoring my vital signs. Then they injected something into my body, and I felt a burning sensation. Everything looked double.

Mark shuddered, his body instinctively remembering that feeling. His eyes turned red and a manic glint appeared in them.

Ripples raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect the other party's situation to be so bad. Her mental power spread out and immediately controlled Mark. Mark was suppressed, his eyes slowly returning to their original color.

Only then did Morgan let out a sigh of relief. He didn't dare approach his son who was going mad.

"Don't worry, take your time and speak slowly. Try to control yourself and step away from the feeling in the moment."

Ripple said softly.

Mark let out a breath, steadying himself before continuing:

“I vaguely heard them talking about how Miss Ripple was their most successful creation, a vampire. Too bad she ran away; otherwise, with all the data, they could create their own army of vampires and then tear up the agreement with the Blood Clan.”

Mark's words made even Lance and the other vampires look uneasy. These humans were definitely prepared.

"After that, I heard them say that my transformation failed and they were going to send me away. Then I lost consciousness and when I woke up, I was here."

Mark finished speaking, swallowed nervously and asked:

"Miss Ripple, have I really become a vampire"

"No, you didn't. Your situation is worse because the vampire venom they injected into you wasn't pure or enough, leading to a failed transformation. Now you're stuck between human and vampire, and as a vampire, you're unconscious. You instinctively crave blood and will kill relentlessly for it."

Rose looked at Mark and said.

Mark's face paled, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Morgan helplessly.

"Father, I don't want to kill, please let me return to my original form!"

"Mark, calm down and listen to me."

Morgan looked at his helpless son, a pang of pain in his heart. But he still kept himself calm and offered solutions, letting his son make his own choice.

"Father, do I only have two choices: die or become an immortal blood race"

Mark smiled wryly.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't investigated the creation of life, none of this would have happened to you."

Morgan said painfully.

At this moment, Mark turned his head and looked at Ripple, his eyes sparkling with light, and asked:

"Ripple Miss, if I transform again, can I become a fully vampire like you"

There's a 50/50 chance.

Ripple effects, speak the truth.

Even if there's only a fifty percent chance, I want to try. I want to stay with my father, I want to keep studying, I want to make friends, and I want to protect the people I care about.

The more Mark spoke, the more resolute he became.

Morgan silently closed his eyes. He understood his son's choice.

"Since it's your own decision, for the sake of Ripple's face, we'll do everything we can to help you."

Count Lans replied.

"I hope Miss Ripple will transform me."

Mark nervously watched the ripples.

Ripples looked into the other's eyes for a full five seconds before letting out a faint smile and nodding her head. She said,

"Good!"

Then I'll have someone prepare it.

Count Lance waved his hand and called for his descendant, pushing Mark down into the cellar.

Morgan has always been by his son's side, never leaving him.

Only after both of them disappeared from sight did Lance look at the ripple and ask,

"Are you sure you want to transform him yourself"

"No, Mark is definitely dead. He's already a pawn in the creator's game."

Ripple played with her nails and said.

Ross and Ang both asked:

How did you figure that out

"Why"

Earl Lance also looked at the ripples, wanting to know the reason.

If he didn't know anything, he wouldn't have appointed me to do the conversion. And remember the first thing he said to me when he saw me

"They said you're also an artificial vampire, and the most successful one." That sentence

Rosie has a very good memory.

Yes! He's constantly hinting that I'm an artificial vampire, yet he expects me to turn him. Don't you find that contradictory

If he believes I'm an artificial vampire, he should request the Count, a pureblood, to turn him. That way, his chances of survival would be greater.

But the fact that he specifically chose me proves that he knows those artificial vampires were created using my venom. I'm not an artificial vampire; I'm a pureblood. The reason his transformation failed isn't just because of his constitution, but also because they had run out of my venom when they extracted it from me.

"Without enough transforming venom, I could only bring people to me, and Mark was a good candidate. After all, Morgan showed mercy towards my men, giving me a chance to escape. Mark had also helped me before, so out of both obligation and gratitude, I should help him."

"I looked, there was no chip in his heart."

Lance suddenly chimed in.

"Count, just as you value your offspring, Mark also values his mother and grandmother. Controlling a person doesn't necessarily require a chip; affection, friendship, and love can all make them comply. In fact, without a chip, he wouldn't arouse your suspicions."

Liàn Yī said softly.

"Captain Ripple's guess is probably right, and I suspect his target is Captain Ripple."

Androgynous stroked their chin and said.

"Did you see all that"

Rossi said, speechless.

"Of course, his look at the captain was off. Trust a man's intuition on this one."

Ang defended himself.

"It doesn't matter, he won't live past tonight anyway."

Roshi shrugged.

"Since creatures are acting this play to get close to me, I'm definitely going to play my part and see it through. At the very least, I need Morgan on our side."

Her smile was cold, Ripples. She'd count Mark's life as part of her creation project.miled and thanked him."You rushed all the way back home, must be hungry Mother will keep you company for a meal, and then you can return to Bilan Courtyard for some rest.""Mom said I wasn't hungry, bu...
