Erina arrived to Cynthia's house and knocked the door. Cynthia opened the door with a big smile and seemed very happy, because she thought that she had took care of Beat using Jessamine's father. But Erina asked if she could ask Cynthia several questions and that was troubling for Cynthia. Erina avoided physical contact like if she knew that Cynthia was a Succubus.
Cynthia's POV:
All what I'm doing to be able to be a doctor, without the boost that the life essence gives me I wouldn't be capable. A good and nice life will wait me after this solves quickly. Jessamine knew my secret and was about to tell it to everyone. I had to take care of her. And what is more poetic than being killed by your own lover? But then this girl really started to stay in the way. Well, I'll find my own way to take her down.

Cynthia let Erina enter in her house and prepared some coffee, took a little of a dangerous acid that could destroy the body of a human in mere seconds and Cynthia tried to make Erina drink it, but Erina declined the coffee. That made Cynthia look really angry.
-Cynthia: “You... I start hating this girl! It's like she saw through all my plans!".
-Erina: You are really a Succubus. And that coffee was poisoned. It let out a smell that I didn't like. Use better things to kill what many people call a genius.
-Cynthia: Argh! You knew it all since the start no!?
-Erina: No. But your face tells me that I'm right. Beat misses few times, really. He knew by only looking a photo that you were a Succubus. Surely in the house of Jessamine he finds something incriminating of you being a Succubus that planned to have her own livestock. And here I'll find that you made Jake kill his own lover. What a dirty fiancee we have here...
-Cynthia: You don't have nothing of me! That Beat surely is dead! I prepared a trap in Jessamine's house! And you will be the next one!

Erina grabs her gun and shoots the left hand of Cynthia.
-Erina: You are quite a newbie in this of murdering people. (Sighs) The thing is that Beat cannot die. That's my boss for you.
-Cynthia: So he has that power really... (Laughs) The worst is that you cannot capture me neither kill me! You really thought that I would let you kill me so easily!? Once I die, everyone tied to me will become zombies and attack the city. 20000 people turned into zombies. If you don't kill me, I'll kill you. (Smiles) You have lost since the start, Lady Hell.
-Erina: (angry) Crap! So you really prepared for this! You are right. Knowing this I cannot do nothing to you.
-Cynthia: Then I won. My own livestock and my dream of being a doctor fulfilled! Only you have to die, Erina. Then, no one will go after me! I prepared this so well than my father would be proud of me! My true name is Cynthiae Asbrien. Yes, of the royal family of monsters! My father will call me back after I obtained all this. And if I find the way to kill the worst killer of monster, Beat Graves, I'll be called a hero!
Then the door is broken by a strong kick.
-Cynthia: Beat came so quickly. Better for me.
Sylvia is the one that broke the door and she saw Erina angry but unable to do nothing.
-Sylvia: This Succubus has already a big livestock. I'm right?
-Erina: Sylvia, if we kill her...!
-Sylvia: I know, countless zombies. That is under usual conditions, which I can handle easily.
-Cynthia: (Scared) Wait... Sylvia!? You won't have a true name like me? We use false names to avoid troubles with the police...
-Sylvia: My true name is Sylvien Asbrien Von Dreifiel. Yes, dear cousin. I'm the daughter of your uncle, a demon that had a relationship with a human.
-Cynthia: You half blooded bitch! Why are you here!?
-Sylvia: Taking care of you. Being exact, killing you. You dared to attack to White's hope first newbie, don't expect mercy from me!
Sylvia looks at the eyes of the Succubus and from her eyes, Sylvia shot two bullets made of solid blood and kills Cynthia.
-Erina: But what you have done!? Now many people will die!
-Sylvia: Those affected by Cynthia were already living dead people. And I have all controlled. Still I cannot see. After shooting blood bullets I go blind for a while. But they kill almost everything. Can you help me grabbing my phone, I need to make a call.
-Erina: Of course

Sylvia uses her phone with the help of Erina and calls to White Hope HQ. Vinnie grabs the phone.
-Sylvia: Tell Trish this. Activate protocol Bloodline.
-Vinnie: Many people will end in the hospital...
-Sylvia: But no collateral damage.
Sylvia hangs out.
-Erina: (worried) It's true what Cynthia said? You are from nobility?
-Sylvia: Yes and no. I...am a not wanted daughter that has blood of the royal family of monsters in her veins. I'm hated by my power and my blood. But I walk my own path.
-Erina: You are between two blades always... It's sad.
-Sylvia: (smiles) Beat said the same when he met me. But it isn't. I don't care who is my father, or this royal family.
-Erina: But they control an entire country! You are hated by both sides of the coin! Church for being of that family and your own family!
-Sylvia: You know what? I really don't care. Being loved by White Hope makes it all worth. Yeah, I always shoot Beat but he is happy to be awake to work. Vinnie always needs someone to carry him to his house. Alphonse always needs someone that stops him. Everyone in White Hope needs me.
-Erina: And that makes you happy?
-Sylvia: (smiles) Yeah. Let's wait for Beat. We need him now more than ever.

Hi people! This case is less long because it is easier than the first but this isn't over! Cynthia had a backup plan! How will Sylvia, Erina, Beat and the rest save the city from 20000 zombies!?

Until next week nothing!
