Shadow of the Beautiful World

Almost all stories related to vampires start in the middle of the night and darkness, and when the light comes, it means the end of the story, and this time is the same.

When the dawn of the morning came, the internal chaos of the vampires in New York finally came to an end.

The vampire stronghold in Brooklyn was completely wiped out, just like the previous cleanup in Queens. With the help of wizards, sl.d. The attack like sweeping fallen leaves sent the stubborn vampires into hell.

On the other side, in the traditional sphere of influence of the American Presbyterian Church, that is, the Bronx District in the north, the fierce raid of the Supreme Family also took several important strongholds, including the underground hall of the American Presbyterian Church, from the American Presbyterian Church. .

This is a signal, representing the outsiders who have been wandering outside the vampire system on the east coast before, and the supreme family commanded by the old legendary vampire Alissa Makinos has officially entered the North American stage of heterogeneity.

These Eastern European vampires who also have orthodox heritage were very strong. At dawn, they bound several high-ranking members of the Presbyterian Church they captured on the beach in the Bronx. Under the gaze of the vampire, they were allowed to be reduced to ashes in the cruel sun punishment.

This sun sentence also announced the control of the Presbyterian Church in the Bronx.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and its new friends won a big victory last night. The high-level radical vampires who had expanded their power in New York were almost wiped out on the battlefield of the Temple of Eternal Night, which directly led to the rioting vampire civilians The group of dragons had no leader, and they were quickly defeated.

The American Presbyterian Church was even worse. Twelve of the 13 families that dominated the council were exterminated. The so-called most orthodox vampire family has already withered personnel, leaving only two or three kittens. This force should have been wiped out like the radical vampires. , but at the most critical moment, a person who no one expected turned out to reintegrate the failed Presbyterian forces, and it was very difficult to escape from the Bronx under the pursuit of the supreme family. To the southernmost Staten Island.

That's right, it is where the Temple of Eternal Night is located.

And the guy who single-handedly saved the American Presbyterian Church, which was on the brink of destruction, was the rotating speaker of the Presbyterian Church, Gaetaro.

A fellow who had been missing for days and was rumored to have died at the hands of Dickon.

It now appears that in this chaos, apart from S.H.I.E.L.D., there is a second fisherman waiting to gain.

Snapped

In Merlin's house, a latest intelligence document was placed on the coffee table in front of Dao Feng.

The latter picked up the file and looked at it, and found that it was a heterogeneous surveillance file, and on the first page of the file, there was a photo of Gaetaro and a lot of information about it.

In the current status column, it was originally marked as dead, but now that line has been crossed out.

Guetaro is a schemer in hiding.

Merlin carried two cups of tea, walked to the coffee table, handed a cup of tea to Dao Feng, and sat on the sofa himself, he said:

It designed an exquisite suspended animation, which not only deceived Dickon, but also deceived us. It jumped out of the battlefield at the last moment before the crisis broke out, and reappeared at the most anxious moment of the battle. Saved the Presbyterian Church in crisis, and fled to Staten Island with the remnants of the defeated soldiers, it seems that it intends to use that remote place as the new site of the Presbyterian Church.”

so what?

Dao Feng put down the document and picked up the teacup, he asked:

What do you need me to do?

Didn't you just say it?

Merlin waved his hand. He took a sip of hot tea, then looked at the file on the table, and said softly:

It's not a good thing that a dead guy came back to life. I need you to put it back in the grave.

He raised his head and said to Blade:

This time, its death must be clean and thorough. If you have enough time, it's best to get rid of those high-level elders who are loyal to Gaetaro.

Hunting is not a problem.

Blade did not refuse, his job was to hunt vampires, and he did not resist this task.

But he was a little puzzled, so he asked:

Before I do it, can I ask why?

All right.

Merlin looked at the watch on his wrist and said:

I'll give you a brief explanation.

In sl.d.'s plan, after this vampire civil war, the power of the Presbyterian Church will not disappear. It represents the original system of North American vampire society. Once it completely disappears, it will represent the collapse of the system. This It's a bad thing, and it means a brief state of disorder for millions of vampires on the East Coast until a new order is established.

Merlin flicked his fingers, he glanced at the blade, and continued to explain:

Our job is to maintain order, to promote a new order, not to disrupt it. For us, the worst order is much better than disorder.

What I mean is that the establishment of a new order of vampires led by S.H.I.E.L.D. will take time, and during this time, the weakened Presbyterian Church and the newly entered supreme family will be responsible for maintaining the stability of the vampire society. It will take several years, even ten years, and it is a long-term plan, but it is worthwhile and has a high success rate.

As a result, when the plan was advancing to the final step, an unexpected factor appeared.

Merlin picked up the teacup and said softly:

When the Presbyterian Church was about to fall, Gaetaro appeared as a savior, integrated the remaining power of the Presbyterian Church, and broke through the joint encirclement and suppression between us and the Supreme Family. This led to a very bad thing. Those who were led by us The pure-blooded vampires who were chosen to take over the dilapidated and weak Presbyterian Church after the war never got a chance to intervene.

Merlin narrowed his eyes, he looked at the document photo on the table, and said with a trace of disgust:

At the moment when the Presbyterian Church is close to destruction, it is true that there should be a savior, but it should not be it.

It disrupted our planning, challenged the implementation of the new order, and almost made us fall short. But now there is still a chance to make up for it as long as you act fast enough.

Merlin coughed lightly, and he said to the vampire hunter in front of him:

You'd better be able to solve it within the next 48 hours. Before Gaetaro reunites the scattered elders, it must completely disappear from our sight. If you need any support, just say it, whether it's information, Or armed, even fire support.

I don't need any support.

Dao Feng touched the silver long sword in his hand, he said:

This is not a difficult task. The elites of the Presbyterian Church have suffered heavy casualties. As long as I can find their hidden positions, I am sure to complete this task within an hour. But I still have one last question.

He raised his head and looked at Merlin:

why me?

Huh? What do you mean?

Merlin asked suspiciously:

You're a vampire hunter, aren't you? You're an expert in this kind of thing, who else can I look for?

That's what it says.

Blade touched his chin, which was smooth because of the new life, and said:

But I don't believe that you don't even have people who handle this kind of dirty work, and don't you have new friends? I believe that the night killers of the Supreme Family are also happy to help you solve this trouble. Why do you have to be an outsider? to do it?

Guetaro is cunning, you can see that too.

Merlin pointed to the document in front of him, and said:

Being able to escape from the cunning Dickon means that it is very strategic and courageous. It is difficult for ordinary agents to really kill it.

The second reason is relatively simple. Let me make an analogy. You just shook hands with a new friend, but in the end, you drew a knife and killed the old friend in front of it. What do you think of our 'new friend'? think?

Merlin shook his head, and he said to Blade in a tone that was very similar to Fury's speaking:

Although once Gaetaro dies, the supreme family will immediately suspect us, but there are some things, doing it openly and doing it secretly are two different concepts. And the most important thing is that you are famous in the North American heterogeneous world, even if it is a sewer. Ghouls know you hate vampires so much, so if you did it, it would be easy to fake an 'accident'.

Merlin laughed, took a sip of tea, and said softly:

It can only be said that our old friend, Mr. Gaetaro, had bad luck. When he was full of ambitions, when he was about to reap benefits as a fisherman, he ran into a hunter who hated vampires. inside.

How? Do you understand now?

Merlin asked.

Blade nodded. The silent vampire hunter didn't hesitate anymore. He picked up Gaetaro's file, then lifted his long sword, and strode out of his house under Merlin's gaze.

Watching the tall vampire hunter disappear under the scorching sun, Merlin rubbed his forehead tiredly. He felt that he needed to rest now.

For field agents, when the dawn comes, the war is over.

But for Merlin, who was in charge of this matter, the real troubles had just begun.

Whether it was coordinating the ally relationship with the Supreme Family, or arranging for the young vampires they rescued from Dickon to return to power in the Presbyterian Church, these things required Merlin to put in a lot of energy.

After all, he is the implementer of this plan and the promoter of the new order.

I want a clean, orderly city. This is a good start.

Merlin walked up to the second floor. He changed into a set of pajamas and stood by the window, looking at the world under the sun outside the window. He whispered:

Some people are responsible for having a good life, while others are responsible for protecting them

This time, I won't, and I can't fail again!

The execution of the blade is very strong.

Just when Merlin fell into a deep sleep with a certain vision, the vampire hunter, who had replenished ammunition and equipment from S.H.I.E.L.D., had already driven a black heavy locomotive into Staten Island with a roaring sound. in the neighborhood.

Blade has been hunting vampires since he was adopted by Whistler and began to learn the combat skills of a demon hunter.

More than 30 years of hunting career has made him understand all the habits of vampires. He is very familiar with these mice in the dark, no matter their fighting methods or hiding methods, they cannot be hidden from the eyes of the blade.

Putting on his sunglasses again, he kept observing the surroundings of the block, especially those dark alleys and alleys, which are completely shaded under the sun, and those places are the favorite gathering places of vampires.

And soon, the blade found its target.

He parked the motorcycle on the side of the road, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of an inconspicuous barber shop.

He walked into it. At this time of noon, there were almost no customers in the barber shop, only a boss and a female barber, sitting bored in a slightly dark room.

Seeing Dao Feng walk into the barber shop, the two lazy guys almost immediately pulled out their guns from their hands and shot at the vampire hunter, but before they pulled the trigger, the chain sword in Dao Feng's hand roared and flew out.

boom

The sharp blade carrying the thin chain pierced through the boss's head on the spot. Amidst the blood and brains splattering, the sharp blade in the blade's hand also touched the wildly dressed man with tattoos all over his arms and a nose. Ring on neck of female hairdresser.

After the Sunwalker bloodline was truly activated and absorbed a drop of Vlad III's source blood, the blade's speed was at least three times higher than before. During the battle, it was like a black whirlwind.

The rebellious girl raised her hands in fright, and the pistol in her hand fell to the ground.

You ghost fans really can't kill them clean.

The vampire hunter curled his lips in disgust, and said:

Which family do you belong to?

Gage Taro.

The girl looked like a new ghost fan, and the blade didn't smell the vampire-like stench from her, so he chose to let her go.

He patted the girl's face with the cold blade, and said:

Take me to the 'new home' of the Getaro family.

They'll kill me.

The girl's legs were about to go limp from fright, she asked pitifully:

Can I refuse?

What do you say?

Dao Feng gave her a cold look:

You're an adult, you should pay for your choices, shouldn't you?

I'm only 15 years old! I just attended a few parties. I really didn't drink blood. I was forced by them.

The girl cried out in fright, which made Dao Feng hesitate.

He looked at the girl, and after a moment he put away his sword and said to her:

Then you have to take me to that place even more. As long as I kill them all, boy, no one will threaten you. By the way, what's your name?

jessica

The 15-year-old rebellious girl blinked and said to Blade:

My name is Jessica Jones.

Very well, Jessica.

Blade put the blade back into the scabbard behind him, pointed to the door, and said to the girl Jessica:

Now take me to their stronghold, and, after this matter is over, you'd better move.

Go to Hell's Kitchen, it must be safe for you.
