Shadow of the Beautiful World

boom

Under the bombardment of the Shattering Curse thrown by Merlin, the half-hidden door of the bar in front of him was smashed open from the outside.

More than 30 agents and Aurors rushed into the small bar, but under the dim light, the bar with few customers looked normal.

Seeing a group of heavily armed soldiers rushing into the bar, several ordinary people who were drinking were scared and screamed on the spot. And the bald bartender standing behind the bar, when he saw the s.d. logo on the arms of these agents, he dropped the wine glass in his hand, turned into a blood shadow, and ran towards the back door of the bar.

boom

The black shotgun in Merlin's hand fired resolutely, and the next moment, that erratic blood figure fell to the ground as if he had been hit by a heavy fist.

The disguised vampire still wanted to struggle, but in the next second, he was smashed into a sieve by more than 4 guns. The shooting damage of the holy silver bullet is absolutely fatal to a low-level vampire like it.

Leave a few people to watch these disgusting ghost fans, and they will shoot if they dare to resist.

Merlin cast a disgusted look at those drinkers who were trembling with fear, and he said to the others:

The rest of you, follow me!

He walked quickly to the silver freezer placed on the edge of the bar, and stretched out his hand to move the heavy freezer outward. Soon, a dark, painful underground passage appeared before Merlin's eyes.

Vampires are creatures of disguise.

But they are different from other alien species, they are not a kind of self-sufficient creatures in their bones, they will hold frequent parties, and then hide together for crazy enjoyment, luring ignorant people into their world, becoming playthings or food.

In such a unique thirst, several large and small underground strongholds have emerged under the ground of New York City.

These places are all scattered in inconspicuous corners of the city. The largest nightclub in Queens has been taken down by Merlin, and the rest are small strongholds.

Although there are many vampires entrenched in New York, most of them are civilian vampires. The proud pure-blood vampires disdain to enjoy life in such a rat-hole-like stronghold. Each of them has their own mansion.

And Queens is not the traditional sphere of influence of vampires. In New York City, the base camp of vampires should be in Manhattan and the Bronx further north.

That's why Merlin assured Coulson and the others to lead the team.

Merlin released smoke, enveloping the agents and Aurors behind him, muffled the sound of their footsteps entering the underground passage, and after a group of people walked down for nearly 4 minutes, the piercing and noisy sound of heavy metal music came from the ground It is already very clear.

Under the dim light, Merlin stretched out four fingers and flicked them forward.

Behind him, four agents with grenade launchers stepped forward immediately. In this wide passageway like an air-raid shelter, they fired in a kneeling position, raised the thick muzzle of the grenade launcher, and pointed it at dozens of guns ahead. Meters away, the super-large, feasting dance floor.

On the dance floor at this time, the carnival of vampires and ghost fans has reached its climax. Nearly 100 well-dressed guys twist their bodies in a crazy posture in the crazy music, and some The impatient guy simply started his own 'pleasure' right next to the dance floor.

But the loud music and frenetic atmosphere interfered with perception, and the shadow protection potions administered to the agents also diminished their sense of presence. Those vampires and ghost fans who danced wildly didn't even notice the danger that was almost at hand.

Merlin's raised fingers curled up little by little, and the moment the fingers were finally retracted, the agents pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Amidst the low roar, four grenades filled with garlic powder inside rushed into the dance floor where the group of demons danced in front of them with scorching smoke.

boom

Four grenades exploded at the same time.

The scorching flames and flying fragments formed a catastrophic lethality in the dense crowd. The garlic essence inside the grenade evaporates instantly under high temperature. These liquids extracted from garlic can form a vampire's skin similar to sulfuric acid. of corrosion.

The moment the grenade exploded, those vampires who were dancing wildly were in a mess crying for their father and mother.

Of course, just the explosion of the grenade is not enough to completely kill these creatures in the darkness. Some vampires who reacted quickly grabbed the blood in the cup at hand and poured it into their mouths almost immediately, trying to recover from their injuries.

However, the agents of sl.d. have extremely rich experience in combating different types. Two seconds after the first wave of grenade exploded, the second wave of grenade rushed into the dance floor again, falling together, and there were more than a dozen of them with precise landing points. Grenades, and the Cruciatus Curse and various destructive spells thrown by the Aurors.

At this moment, the violent explosion shook the ground of the underground cave, and the vampires who couldn't dodge were torn apart by the endless attacks.

In such an intensive attack like a war, no matter how strong the resilience is, it would be difficult to escape from the continuous explosions.

After more than ten seconds, under the leadership of Merlin, the agents armed with firearms filled with holy silver bullets rushed into a messy underground cave, but there were not many corpses and blood flying across the cave floor. , is a layer of black, weird ashes remaining in the disgusting flesh and blood.

When a vampire is killed, it leaves a corpse just like a human, with one exception.

As a dark creature, after being killed by a weapon with positive energy like Holy Silver, the vampire's flesh and blood would be ignited by the extreme positive energy and burnt into black ashes, leaving no corpse or the like.

As for the disgusting traces of flesh and blood on the dance floor, they were left after the death of those ghost fans who hadn't turned into vampires but were willing to degenerate.

Some wounded vampires groaned in pain on the ground covered with flesh and ashes, or crawled hard, trying to escape from this hell under attack.

But the agents were relentless. Amid the constant gunshots, they shot the remaining guys on the ground one by one to ensure that they could not leave this place alive.

Clean up here!

Merlin held the crossbow, and he pulled the trigger towards his feet without looking at it. A vampire whose body was blown to pieces was pierced through the head by a silver crossbow arrow. Like a covering, it quickly turned into a mass of flying ashes.

Well, if you look carefully, the burning state of these vampires when they were killed by Shengyin is quite beautiful.

It's just like

Like fireworks that bloom in death.

Merlin's dark perception spread, and when the agents searched and cleared this huge underground pit, he held a hand crossbow alone and walked towards the dark passage ahead.

He could sense that a guy who was stronger than these low-level vampires, but limited in strength, was hiding in the room ahead.

That should be what he was looking for.

Quinn, the leader of the vampires hired to kidnap little Peter.

Speaking of this Quinn, it is actually not an unknown person.

At least it's not the first time Merlin has heard of its name. There is information about this guy in sl.d.'s heterogeneous list.

But the reason why this weird vampire is famous is not because of its strength, but because this guy has a very weird characteristic, or a problem.

In the world of vampires, there is strict hierarchy. The status and power of half-vampires transformed from humans and pure-blood vampires born naturally are not the same.

Quinn is a special half-vampire. Before he met his 'master', he was just an ordinary, aggressive little gangster in Hell's Kitchen, no different from other gangsters in Hell's Kitchen.

This guy is a drug addicted scum.

But generally speaking, after becoming a vampire, the great pleasure gained from drawing blood will prevent half-vampires from indulging in low-level drugs, but the difference between Quinn and others is that it is a rare , A guy who can't satisfy his drug addiction even by sucking blood.

It has to take drugs every day to satisfy its addiction, which is the shame of a vampire.

boom

Before Merlin's eyes, the tightly closed steel door with more than a dozen locks was easily opened under an unlocking spell.

But as soon as Merlin entered the room, more than a dozen bullets were fired head-on. Those bullets penetrated Merlin's body and hit the wall behind him, sparks continuously jumped out.

And in front of Merlin, Quinn, this out-and-out trash, was full of fear, holding two large-caliber pistols in both hands, and crazily shooting at the terrifying opponent.

This is a half-vampire with a scruffy appearance.

It's not as styled as other half-vampires, and it wears a disgusting hippie jacket with shiny metal pendants all over its wide trouser legs.

It is very fat, like a heavily obese house.

He didn't even take care of his dirty beard, just let it coil around his neck, and wore cool sunglasses on his eyes, as if he was trying to package himself as a big shot.

But apparently, the packaging failed, which made it look inferior to Hell's Kitchen Taco.

Tucker, who was the least skinny, started to be ruthless, and he also had the aura of a bachelor, and the guy in front of him was a coward even after being transformed into a vampire.

Shit! Shit! Die! Die!

Merlin stood at the door, watching Quinn screaming nervously with a blank face, and then frantically pulled the trigger at him, until a few seconds later, two large-caliber pistols that were powerful enough to kill an elephant fired. After running out of bullets, the trigger made a clicking sound as Quinn pulled it nervously.

Rubbish.

Merlin patted his clothes that had been riddled with bullet holes, and he said softly.

The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared.

swish

In the flash of the black fighting knife and Quinn's scream, the half-vampire's wrist was severed. While the stinky blood was flying, its whole body was thrown against the wall by a huge force.

colloportus! (Confinement Curse)

Dodging away from the blood-splattered Merlin, with a flick of his finger, a confinement curse landed on Quin's body.

boom

The dark red chains extending from all directions formed a solid body under the infusion of magic power, just like that trapped Quinn on the wall, making it impossible to move at all.

But Merlin frowned at this moment.

Under his gaze, Quinn's severed wrist, amidst its ugly screams, was rapidly healing itself, like flesh and blood growing.

This is not normal!

Quinn is just a half-vampire, logically speaking, it shouldn't have the power of a complete vampire to heal itself, but this strange thing did it.

After 10 seconds, Quinn's severed wrist had been regenerated, and as the price of rebirth, Quinn's complexion weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

You are such a weirdo.

Merlin commented, he looked at Quinn in front of him, and said:

But that's good too. I'm still worried that a half-vampire like you has weak resilience. In the pain that will follow, I won't be able to find the answer.

no, do not want!

Quinn saw Merlin take off his rimless glasses, revealing his eyes that were burning like embers. It wasn't until this time, that Quin was ashamed of being a vampire, that he knew who the person who called was.

It screamed in horror:

No! You are a raven! Merlin Raven! Aren't you dead? Damn it, we didn't provoke you at all!

SHIELD maintains order, this city is under our jurisdiction.

Merlin put away his hand crossbow and drew out his wand. He said softly:

Everything that's going on in this city is about me, including the disgusting stuff you've done and the things you're planning. Don't worry, Quinn, the war you scumbags desperately want has begun.

I know, vampires long for freedom too, and I know you're tired of feeling the fear

Merlin's wand, Lola's tip flashed a dangerous green fluorescent light, under Quinn's desperate gaze, Merlin said softly:

So tonight, I brought back what you lost!

cruio! (cruciatus curse)

With the waving of the wand, the pain that could tear apart the soul burst out from within Quinn's body. The cowardly and irascible half-vampire wanted to scream, but Merlin's Silencing Charm silenced all its sounds.

Across the wall, agents have begun to sweep the battlefield, but no one knows that in the deepest part of this sinful place, a magical interrogation is going on.

I hope your master can understand this warning.

Merlin looked at Kun Yin's eyes that were blood red from the pain, he flicked his fingers and said in a low voice:

legilimens! (Instigmatism)

The Shame of the Vampire, Quin's will is definitely not firm. In the extreme pain, the Dementia Curse released by Merlin entered its thinking almost without hindrance.

He saw those bad pictures.

In this half-vampire's mind, more than 80% of the memories are pictures of it fooling around with its own ghost fans. It seems that this guy's brain is indeed filled with white and disgusting liquid.

But among those obscene pictures, Merlin quickly found what he needed.

He saw the scene where Quinn was having a conversation with a gentle guy who looked like a butler in a very high-end restaurant. He remembered the face of the butler and the delivery he had agreed with Quinn. 'Place.

But to Merlin's surprise, in Quinn's memory, he clearly saw the ring on the butler's finger.

The plain ring is not the point, the point is the emblem on the ring.

Although the emblem has undergone some artistic processing, Merlin still recognized the main body in those complicated patterns at a glance.

In the materials left by Ms. Carter, there are many records about that emblem. That is

Hydra.
