[edit] Story
Ingrid has succumbed to an unknown disease similar to anemia. As Yoko visits her sick friend in Rothenburg, Ingrid's cousin Rudy, a biologist, soon reveals that a strange, vampire-like apparition has been visiting Ingrid regularly at night. Yoko keeps watch, and she and Rudy discover that the 'apparition' is a renegade medic using Ingrid as a test subject for a kind of artificial blood. Yoko chases the 'vampire' through half of Rothenburg, but the antagonist gets away - with a promise not to bother Ingrid again. Nevertheless, Yoko decides to go after her.
Once Vic and Pol arrive, the four of them soon discover a huge underground medical lab under the direction of Dr. Schulz, dedicated to keeping a girl - his daughter Magda - in suspended animation by induced hypothermia ever since she sustained fatal injuries at the end of World War II. The 'vampire', in truth Dr. Schulz's niece Eva Werner, tested the artificial blood on Ingrid for Magda's sake, since they share the same blood type.
When the procedure to resuscitate Magda is started ahead of schedule, Yoko, Vic, Pol and Rudy quickly offer their help to the scientists. But as it turns out, one of the lab workers wants to use the revolutionary processes for his own gain, and it takes a nearly fatal sacrifice from Yoko to bring the story to a good end.
