"We have to pretend to be a couple."

Helen stared at Ron blankly, having no idea what he was talking about.

Ron explained, "During this time, we must act as a couple, and you have to stay by my side all the time to avoid any accidents. Something is about to occur. And I can also take this chance to achieve my goal."

The main reason Ron stayed in Innocent Town was for the "blood of the blood clan containing psychic energy". If he wanted to be promoted to the second level of the Emperor's Body, he had to deal with these dangerous beings.

Helen was surprised that the lie she casually made up was about to come true. "Is something going to happen?" she asked.

Ron didn't conceal the truth. "Some nobles will come to this town secretly. Has something similar happened before?"

Helen shook her head. "No, according to the information I've inquired about, there isn't such a thing."

Ron nodded. "This isn't their first visit. But when they come here, these nobles will hide their identities and might even change their appearances. For them, this is a game."

Helen's face immediately turned pale as she realized the truth behind Ron's words. Since this was the nobles' game, then Innocent Town was a carefully constructed place for their entertainment, like a hunting ground. And their entertainment item here... was the commoners.

Helen opened her mouth and said with difficulty, "The reason why we have to pretend to be a couple is..."

Ron replied, "The nobles and knights think we are a couple. They call this a masquerade ball, and we have become important characters on the dance floor. Before they notice the problem, we can't let them become vigilant."

If Helen's mental strength was a bit weaker or her personality was worse, Ron wouldn't tell her this. But he believed that knowing the truth would make Helen perform better.

Helen's expression was stiff. Although she had accepted Ron's statement, there was still an inextinguishable sadness in her heart. Unlike Ron, during these days, she lived in the town and made many "friends". Although she wouldn't be sad even if she heard the death of one of them. But when she knew that these humans who were no different from herself were toys in the eyes of the nobles, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Thinking carefully, in the past, she didn't think there was a problem with such things. Before coming to Innocent Town, this was the world she was familiar with. But when she gradually got used to not having to worry about someone deliberately deceiving her, not having to fear that others would kill her because of an argument, and not having to be afraid of being raided by other lords... Was she numbed?

Helen asked herself, but soon she gave a negative answer. No, she wasn't numbed. She just had a longing. After seeing Innocent Town, she really hoped from the bottom of her heart that there was such a town. Therefore, after learning that this was just a more desperate and cruel lie, she had an "illusion" called sadness.

Helen regained control of her emotions and said to Ron seriously as if nothing had happened, "What do I need to do?"

Ron slowed down his speech slightly. "These nobles will come here. One of them will find me, and I will become an actor in her story, responsible for playing the role of a lover. But before that, you are already my lover in their eyes. For the story, you are undoubtedly an obstacle to the two true loves. So you have to gradually spread the rumor that we have had a disagreement and gradually make others believe that we have really separated. In this way, they may not do anything to you. But this is not safe enough, so you have to stay by my side during this period."

Hearing Ron's words, Helen became much calmer. He showed his concern for her, so she probably wouldn't die in this town. She didn't suspect that Ron would sacrifice her because she knew that a "good girl" like herself who was obedient, smart and could help was not easy to find, and Ron was like a miracle to her. And Ron must also know this idea of hers. This is also the reason why he would tell her so many secrets. Both she and he knew - she was trustworthy.

Helen asked a bit nervously, "Can I ask, Mr. Ron, what do you want to achieve in this this game?"

Ron answered her, "This is a masquerade ball of the nobles. One of the visitors has something I need in his body. I want to cut open the belly of this noble and take out his blood. That is to say... I want to find my prey and then kill him."

Helen looked at Ron in surprise and joy. If Helen looked at Ron in surprise and joy. If lucky, the female noble would be a blood-energy user, but it didn't matter if unlucky. He would find the other party in this town.

And this was a dangerous hunt. Besides the two young nobles he could theoretically kill, there was also a blood count who might have reached the third level, and ten vampires of unknown strength wandering here.

He needed to avoid these monsters, find his prey, take his blood and leave here to complete the promotion ceremony. If it went smoothly, he wouldn't return here until he had a comprehensive improvement.

Ron raised his left hand. Then the whole arm lit up with a white light, but it was immediately extinguished by himself.

Helen had long been used to Ron's actions and had no reaction.

He had already woven the psychic threads in his body. What filled them was his understanding of the sun, but it was still a little short...

His understanding of the sun largely came from the star in his previous life. But the one that could extinguish the vampire's self-healing ability was the unknown celestial body on the black cloud.

If he hadn't seen another sun, he might have completed the learning of the psychic skill. But it was difficult for him to eliminate the influence of the second sun on himself.

This might also cause his psychic skill to be unable to kill vampires.

Before finding out the characteristics of the sun in this world against vampires, he still had to work hard to weave the psychic threads in his body. And if he couldn't complete the training of "I Am the Sun" in a short time...

He would also take the blood. Even if he couldn't kill the vampire, it did not matter. Since the enemy was already in front of him, he couldn't refuse to fight just because he lacked a weapon.

The worst case was that he couldn't kill the vampire, but he could make the other party completely lose the ability and will to resist. In this way, he could also smoothly take out the blood from the monster's body.

And killing vampires couldn't only rely on the sun. Because these vampires were killing each other, they must have deadly weapons in their hands.

And he just needed to find it.
