1. Oct.22nd.1897 Fri. 2:40 pm Study in Mina & Jonathan's Mansion; The Harker Mansion, Westminster, London - Mina's Diary
Dear diary, until the day before yesterday, before my parents came back to Los Angeles, even for a week my parents, my parents-in-law, me, and Jonathan all had happy times together, I'm still genuinely grateful for those witty party guests who also made my parents happy one more time,
"Oh dear, Mrs. Murray, I just almost said your maiden name in Japan, Miss Murakami, because you look very young,"
"Mr. Murray, and Mrs. Murray, I ask both of you for your autographs on the title page of this book, the new masterpiece of your daughter, as I already got your proud daughter's own,"
"Same here, please."
God bless all of them, the dinner in the mansion of my parents-in-law was finished well with full of happiness, and when my parents said next year they would visit my father's hometown Truro in Cornwall first, lastly my mother's hometown Naha in Okinawa, I recalled one of my happiest memories that I spent a very good summer vacation in each town when I was 11, I always miss Pedn Vounder Beach and Aharen Beach, may God bless their meaningful travel,
And yesterday evening and night I spent a very happy time with Jonathan, it was truly perfect with him, except for the terrible moment caused by the uninvited guest called, vampire… I could notice that the vampire was the sister of the vampire which I killed last Christmas Eve in Bristol, because her revenge could kill Jonathan, I still feel terrible about that, and if he and other people know my secret, they'll worry and try to stop me not to do this dangerous job, but to save lives, I can't stop, oh God, how long should I fight with vampires? how many times should I kill those devils? now I'm recalling those worst devils I killed and sent to hell as a vampire slayer… a mummified vampire in Half Moon Bay, Hong Kong, four vampires in Transylvania, Rumania, and a vampire in Bristol, America, oh God, when is the day finally I can quit this horrible night-time job? the real nightmare...
But two years in London with Jonathan, are the most romantic and happiest days of my life, and finally, I and Jonathan will get married this Nov.1st, we'll finally be the real husband & wife, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, God, one of the happiest happiness of me, is every happiness with him, my happiness, my love, Jonathan.

[1] Jun.11th.1886 Fri. 10:10 pm Turtle Cove Beach in Hong Kong, - FREE HONG KONG and Fight with a Mummified Vampire
Once a 'USS Holland (SS-1)'3 with a special engine and other several unusual equipments broke the surface of the wavy midnight blue water within range of a quarter mile from Turtle Cove Beach, it approached the beach, soon two chela-shaped feet both made of steel popped up through the two cracks on its bottom, as a human walked, crossing the beach with those feet, it directly moved to somewhere, soon as soon as it stopped in front of the forest, opening the lid of its gate, Mina wearing an innocent, pure white shirt, pants, and shoes; all in light gray, a necklace made of a silver string with a silver cross in the center of the necklace, and a silver gray belt with a silver dagger and a revolver; Remington model 1886 with five silver bullets; both in two dark gray sheathes; both tied to the belt, set her feet on the sandy soil, she also wore a thin, special inner protective gear set and shouldered a dark gray backpack with four wood stakes, six silver stakes, a wood hammer, a silver hammer, a wood cross, a silver cross, a wood rosary, a silver rosary, a hand mirror, a rifle; Winchester Model 1886, many silver bullet cartridges, a tiny bottle of dried garlic pieces, a small bottle of dried garlic powders, a big glass bottle of Holy water, a English Broadsword, a Scottish Claymore, a traditional Japanese sword Katana; all in each one's traditional sheath, a large number of special silver shurikens with different shaped & pointed blades, and other many different special weapons, descended the stairs on the side of the submarine and set her feet on the sandy soil,
"What a beautiful beach,"
After a short appreciation, she directly took to the woods, looking around the surroundings in the inky dark cautiously, soon once she found a dark entrance of a cave with a grotesque shape as a devil opened its mouth wide that surrounded by many huge dark gray rocks, she took a unique folding lamp stick out of the backpack, it was folded like a folding umbrella in future, she directly pressed the button on the upper part of the stick's handle, as soon as the entire folding lamp stick opened, the lamplight went on, flashing the light, she directly walked into the ominous cave filled with darkness,
When she stopped at the center of the cave, there was a closed coffin made of raven stone in the traditional Chinese style in 1886, she rammed the bottom of the stick into the widest crack of the stone ground, then as soon as she drew the dagger from the sheath, the lid of the coffin opened by itself violently, as soon as it fell to the distant muddy spot, it shattered to many pieces and dusts terribly with a loud noise,
"What a sweet welcome, thank you very much indeed, I think you're too kind to me, besides, it's Friday, crazy things happen," said she pointing the dagger at the open coffin,
Soon a mummified Chinese woman wrapped in rotten bandages wearing a well-preserved, brilliant traditional Chinese dress and shoes; all in vivid pink and 1886's style with many beautiful peony blossom embroideries all in bloody red, a large number of not only brilliant but also grotesque gold bracelets all studded with silver, jades, turquoises and amethysts on her right wrist, raised her upper body spurting creepy aura, soon soaring towards the ceiling of the cave, the mummy spun in the air one time, when she directly landed on the ground, through its empty, dark eyeholes, she glared at Mina threateningly,
Soon Mina told the mummy with a braveheart,
"I heard that with those corrupt officials in mainland Chinese government, you had ruined Hong Kong and China both and had killed and prisoned many honest and brave journalists and activists in both of those countries, so that's why you had lived in affluence under the shadow of China, but to stop your conscienceless sins, those brave Hong Konger heroes executed and mummified you like this, to let you live in the afterlife? no, to send you to the different afterlife called, hell,"
Then as soon as she finished saying the last word, the mummy wielded the longest bandage of her arm at those distant rocks, she coiled the bandage around the biggest one and directly threw the rock at Mina, but diving aside, Mina dodged the rock, and at the same time before her body fell to the ground, she threw the dagger at the mummy, but before the dagger lodged in the heart of the mummy, instantly soaring towards the ceiling, the mummy dodged the dagger and the dagger lodged in the nearby rock,
As soon as the mummy landed on the floor, finally baring its long, acuate canines of vampire, she madly rushed Mina, but drawing the revolver from the sheath, Mina loaded it and shot at the mummified vampire, then while the bullet flew to the heart of the vampire, the vampire threw one among those golden bracelets at the bullet, as soon as the bullet and the bracelet hit each other, bouncing off each other wildly, both of them fell to the stone ground, the vampire directly threw those rest bracelets at Mina one at a time, but stepping, running and diving in each different direction skillfully, Mina dodged all those dangers, whenever those bracelets hit against the stone wall, all of them fell to the stone ground, soon when the last gold one lodged in the wall deeply, the spot cracked severely, and at the same time mina took a special folding sword out of the backpack, when she pressed the button on the upper part of the sword's handle, the sword opened and she directly turned to the vampire, then at that instant, the vampire dove to the nearby dark corner and pulled out a single-edged traditional Chinese sword Dao from the crack between two rocks there, directly wielding the sword, the vampire rushed Mina, Mina's brave blade and vampire's brutal blade hit each other many times, then when Mina hit the center of the blade of the devil, both of the blade of the Dao and the blade of the special folding sword were broken in two, those two broken blades fell to the ground, but Mina directly threw the rest part of her broken sword in her hand at the forehead of the vampire, as soon as the vampire was hit by those sharp, broken tips of the rest part, screaming madly, she rushed to Mina,
But Mina directly took ten four-pointed shurikens out of the backpack and threw them at the vampire one by one, and at the same time pulling out those peony blossoms with multiple-pointed petals of the dress, the vampire threw those peony shurikens at Mina one by one, but running and diving in each different direction skillfully, Mina dodged those attacks and also continued to throw shuriken at the vampire, soon the vampire threw the last shuriken at the brave heart of Mina, but at the same time Mina threw the last shuriken at the brutal heart of the vampire, as soon as those two shurikens hit each other, bouncing off each other fiercely, both of them fell to the ground, and at that instant, baring her canines with increased fury, the vampire rushed to Mina insanely, but Mina directly took one more shuriken, a six-pointed shuriken out of the side pocket of the backpack and threw it at the rushing devil, as soon as those blades of the shuriken of justice lodged in the curel heart of the vampire; the devil from hell, screaming terribly and growling horribly, the devil finally came back to hell, as soon as its dead body fell to the ground, it transformed into a pile of black dust,
"Please lead this sinner's soul to a good way, in the name of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, Amen." prayed she, making a sign of the cross towards those devilish dust,
After praying, she directly pulled out the dagger from the rock and the lamp from the ground and picked up all those shurikens on the ground and in the pile of the hellish dust, as soon as she put the dagger into the sheath and all those weapons into the backpack, she picked up those broken pieces of the special folding sword, flashing the light she left the cave, as soon as she walked out of the cave, she continued to walk to the spot where the submarine waited for her, as soon as she stopped in front of it, through the open gate,
An 80-year-old man of Scandinavian, Irish, Dutch, Balkan, and Ottoman descent with hair, mustache, and beard; all in silver grey, showed his upper body and yelled at her irritatingly,
"Through the special periscope, I saw that while you fought with the vampire in that cave, you broke the special folding sword! why do you always break weapons whenever you fight with vampires?! my greatest masterpieces!"
"Uh oh, I'm terribly sorry, dr. Abraham Van Helsing, and next," said she with a nonchalant look,
Directly ascending the stairs, she entered through the gate holding those broken pieces of the special folding sword triumphantly,
"What the? God damn it! oh God, why God, why me? why should I save lives with this crazy vampire slayer?" grumbled he loudly, closing the lid of the gate,
Soon walking on the sandy soil, the submarine approached the water, while it directly walked into the water, soon its feet came back into those cracks, and at the same time as soon as it went underwater, the submarine moved towards somewhere the next destination quietly.
