Under the moonlight, the Venice Grand Canal ripples gently, enveloped in a rustling sound.
The "Rialto Bridge" spanning the canal is eerily still, with a vast shadow cast from its large eaves onto the walkway, where a pair of red eyes loiter in the darkness.
Xia Pingzhou puts away his phone, slowly lifting his gaze from the screen.
As his eyes land on the bridge walkway, a cold system notification echoes in his mind.
[System Notification: You have encountered two rare demons— "Cloning Demon" (Celestial Driver compatibility with No. 2 unit: 95%)]
"Compatibility? Does it mean suitable for a contract?" He slightly raised an eyebrow, pondering.
"How's it looking?" the Bloodline grinned, their crimson eyes fixed on Xia Pingzhou.
"You help me cripple it," Xia Pingzhou said expressionlessly, "I'll finish it off."
"Finish it off?" The Bloodline laughed, "Being able to make 'needing a handout' sound so nice, exactly what I'd expect from our newbie."
Xia Pingzhou remained silent.
