She stared at him, "Are you sure?" she asked, and Matt shrugged.
"I can deliver more precious information to you in a good place. But for that, you'll have to tell me what this dagger means." He spoke.
Matt then looked at the woman again, seeing that she was still hesitating.
"If you talk, I'll tell you, and I might even show you proof. But I won't talk at all if you still think I'm not qualified to know that information."
No matter what, Matt couldn't leave here without knowing that information, which is why he still had more to say in case this woman didn't agree to tell him.
But he didn't expect the intrigue in this woman's heart to be so important that she didn't hesitate to do so.
"It's called the Unifying Curse. That little weapon you're holding isn't normal, and it gets a name..." she said but was interrupted.
"Alliance Cursed Weapon, that's the name, Matt." Alice said from behind as she came through the back door.
Matt looked at her in surprise, "Do you know what it means too?" He asked, and she nodded though she stared at the woman before her.
"It's not something anyone should know, miss killer." She said, and the woman stared at her.
"Same here, Rose One." She replied.
At that point, they both looked into each other's eyes, but they eventually smiled slightly.
"I won't delve into your secrets, but may I ask you to cooperate with us? Since your status is so high, you must have additional information from that dagger." Alice said, and the woman shrugged.
"Only if the information Matthew hands me is of value." She replied, and Alice smiled.
"Matt, the Cursed Alliance Weapon is a weapon used by some organizations to spread the Unifying Curse, which allows them to control all their members, binding them by blood. It was created by humans to control vampires, but humans did not know how to use it, and over time, vampires began to employ it.
If the weapon is here, it's possible that its owner is nearby; otherwise, it would have exploded." She replied, causing Matt to nod.
'A special curse...' He thought and sighed. He wanted to know more about it, as inside him now was an ability that also received the name 'Curse'; still, he didn't ask anything else for now.
"Okay, follow me. Let's go to this place's basement." He replied, causing the women behind him to frown.
"The basement?" they asked, and Matt smiled.
He moved his foot slightly, tapping it against the floor several times in different places.
Then he dropped the small dagger in his hand.
This one fell to the ground, stuck in a small crack on the floor.
"A crack?" The woman asked in shock.
"Is it a door?" Isla asked in surprise. She remembered Matt had mentioned several things about looking for hidden doors.
Just then, the three girls saw Matt reach down and pull out several needles from his spirit ring, and with a quick movement of his hand, he stuck them in different places inside those slits that were opened by the dagger. One of them passed a little inward, so Matt gave a little tap on that place, and soon, a vampire-sized door opened inward.
'How fast could he open a door like that? How experienced is he!?' The woman assassin wondered in shock.
She didn't say anything, though.
A smell of blood and dampness hit them at that moment.
Behind the door, there were stairs leading down. They had no lighting, but being vampires, they didn't need it. Because of this, they could see a large amount of blood arranged downwards.
'Someone crawled down there... As I suspected, this dagger wasn't left here many days ago. The blood was very fresh, and I could smell that blood somewhere downstairs, so the man who crawled down there had to have come to investigate after what happened and met someone who attacked him.' Matt thought and, without hesitation, started walking down the stairs.
"Be careful; the blood in this place isn't dry." He said as he led the way.
The stairs went down and stretched for about 2 minutes, but soon they came to a huge room.
This place didn't have a lot of stuff in it.
The first thing that appeared before them was some office desks with scrolls and magic candles for illumination. This was not the most striking thing.
The blood on the floor did not stop on any of the desks but on a blackboard in front of them.
There was a corpse on the floor; he had already died because he bled a lot, but on the blackboard above him, there were several things written.
The first thing was written in black ink, but he ended up writing in blood; maybe he got too exhausted or ran out of ink.
It wasn't something very legible, but it was still readable.
-You should not investigate them. They are very powerful, so powerful that they are scary... We only found a little information and ended up dead. They killed my brothers in the city...".
It said, and at the end, there was a small written address.
None of the people who came in said anything; they just kept quiet and investigated each side.
Soon, Matt got something of interest.
'The address written on the board and also the address of receipt of these messages is the same. They were exchanging this information, but there is not much information written on these documents. It just makes me think they were investigating this organization,' Matt thought and frowned.
He kept looking and found four more addresses, so he pulled out the city map he had and started comparing the addresses.
'Hotels, entertainment center, private homes... I see. So, they had a network of information through which the messages were sent... The organization was able to track them down, and although they killed several people who had nothing to do with them, in the end, it looked like they killed everyone who was investigating them.
This is an organization that does things carefully and accurately.' He thought.
'But... The information they have in this house is not the main one. The main one went to that particular house inside the city, and it's the brothers of the man who occupied this desk.' Matt thought.
The girls couldn't find anything valuable, although they got all the addresses of the different houses where the information came from. Thanks to this, Matt had already learned a few things about what was happening and smiled.
'We should go to this house then.' He thought and looked up.
