Natural enemies

The factory campus is dark, with shadows of trees.And Sakuragi seemed to have turned into a shadow, almost merging with the darkness.

He advanced in the shadows, like a snake gliding leisurely across the grass, silent and ready to strike.

However, this kind of calmness can't be maintained after walking tens of meters.

The Institute has been established for nearly 30 years, but its predecessor was just a small laboratory. In the past ten years, thanks to the more convenient and frequent transportation between the two countries, the Institute took the opportunity to use tricks to get a lot of money from tour groups. Experimental materials, which have developed rapidly.

So far, the research institute has nearly [-] finished experiments, but two-thirds of them are completely waste products. Most of them were destroyed at the former site of the research institute by taking advantage of the Fukushima nuclear leak, and brought to Shanghai. , but only a few dozen.

Of course, in the past two years since I came to Shanghai, the research institute has produced more than 237 finished products, but the scrap rate is still quite high—in fact, most of the experimental products produced have very low intelligence if their combat effectiveness is enhanced. Strictly speaking, they should be classified as waste products, but because there are too few qualified products according to this standard, according to Dr. Takahashi's opinion, as long as they can follow simple instructions, they will be kept. It was precisely for this reason that No. [-] had the chance to escape from the research institute alive.

However, the escape of No. 237 and Jansen triggered the pursuit of the Demon Hunters Union, and the institute had to change its address again, and the time was tight, so it was impossible to bring all the finished products, so it was decided internally that Dr. Takahashi would send those mentally retarded More than half of the finished products were taken away to besiege and kill those demon hunters, while a few remained in the factory area as guards.

Said to be a small number, there are more than a dozen different species, and their intelligence is relatively high, so they are more vigilant.But even so, Sakuragi didn't hear any warning just now, which is enough to show the strength of the enemy.

And now, in front of the car in front of Sakuragi lay the corpse of a werewolf with a hole in his chest and a crushed heart.Next to the car were four porters who seemed to be breathing, but they were all in a coma, their faces were blue and their lips were black, as if they had been poisoned.

But what changed Sakuragi's face was that the compartment at the back was wide open, and the doors of the several cages that had been installed were all opened, and the inside was empty, with nothing left.

The experimental products in the research institute are divided into several types. The waste products that are completely worthless are of course destroyed. Those with ordinary abilities but irrational are used for fighting and consumption. The other two are the most precious: one has both abilities and There are rational ones; one is that although they are not rational, they have supernatural powers, both of which are extremely valuable for research.However, it is not very easy to control.

Now, the cages in this car are filled with finished products that are difficult to control but are too valuable to be destroyed.Of course, there are still a few cages in the basement, and I haven't had time to move them into the car, but the cages that have been moved into the car are now open...

Sakuragi turned his gaze to the ground.He knew the werewolf who was killed. It was number 251, one of the controllable items.It is formed by mutation after injecting werewolf blood into a normal human body.The success rate of this experiment is extremely low, because werewolves are not vampires after all, and were not transformed through first embrace.Most of the test items will die due to blood clotting, and although a small number of them are successfully transformed, they will gradually die due to rejection.

Number 251 was the most successful one.As a werewolf, his ability is slightly weaker, but he can completely switch between wolf form and human form. If he is not mentally retarded, he is almost a normal werewolf.But even though he is weaker than a normal werewolf, his fur is very tough and his movements are even more agile, and now he is lying here with a big hole in his chest—Sakuragi remembers that the largest cage contained a demon, No. 206 .

No. 206 is a hybrid of demons and vampires. He has no reason at all, but perfectly integrates the blood of the two races. He can use the body of a demon to fight and attack as a bat.So much so that although it is extremely dangerous, it is one of the most valuable finished products.

As for the four poisoned people——Sakuragi glanced at the smallest cage, and there was a little devil locked in it, whose ability was to create poisonous mist.This is the only pure devil produced by the institute, No. 189.

A scream came from a distance, causing Sakuragi's eye muscles to twitch.He is the security captain of the research institute, and he can distinguish the voices of every staff member and even the experimental product. This sound should be the voice of experimental product No. 67.This is a man-made eight-generation blood family, the best of the first batch of experimental products.

The bloodline of No. 67 comes from the No. 1 test subject, Jason. To be precise, it is the first offspring of Jason after undergoing bloodline transformation, so he inherited the talent of the Ravono family for manipulating illusions.He is also one of the test subjects who are devoted to the research institute, and belongs to the breeder just like Jason.He also has a human offspring, the extremely precious finished product No. 188, whose ability is to give a person the ability to see through his own illusion while manipulating illusions.

However, No. 188 was taken away by Dr. Takahashi today to set up an ambush against the demon hunter, leaving only No. 67 in the park.He also has the ability to manipulate illusions. It stands to reason that he can try to break the illusion barrier, but now it sounds...

Sakuragi silently sneaked towards the screaming direction.He didn't waste any more time looking at another car, which was full of instruments and materials, and the people who wanted to move things now were also down.

There were sounds of fighting coming back and forth, mixed with scattered gunshots.Most of the guards used in the study were werewolves because they are easy to get and control.However, the relationship between demons and werewolves is not harmonious. Although they are not as feudy as vampires and werewolves, they will still follow their nature when they are irrational, and they will fight when they collide.

Now that the experimental products in the cage have been released, the werewolves guarding the park must be in trouble.As for the staff, in such a dark environment, even if they have guns and stun prods, they are useless.

Sakuragi thought in his heart, but there was no hesitation at his feet.He had a feeling that the person who killed No. 67 should be the person who controlled the phantom enchantment. To capture the thief, the king must be captured first. He had to take down that person before he could have any hope of breaking through.It doesn’t matter if the experimental product is lost, even if the staff member dies, it’s no big deal. What’s important is the information and Dr. Komatsu. As long as he is taken out, the institute can make a comeback at any time.

"Aw—" the howling of the werewolf had just started before it stopped abruptly.A corpse fell heavily to the ground, a hole was poked out in the throat, and the surrounding area of ​​the wound was scorched black, as if it had been scorched by a branding iron.

Sakuragi slid out like a shadow, and the two short swords were like two poisonous snakes, stabbing straight at the slightly bowed figure in the darkness.

The figure leaned against a tree, and because of the cover of the illusion, it almost merged with the tree shadow, and ordinary people might not be able to spot it at all.But Sakuragi accurately distinguished between the man and the tree, his short sword almost sticking to the tree trunk and stabbing straight at the man's back.

With a crisp clang, the two separated suddenly, and Sakuragi shrank back into the darkness like a snake that couldn't hit.He felt it—the sword in his left hand was blocked by something, but the sword in his right hand should have penetrated into the skin.But that kind of resistance was fleeting, and it must have been just a small wound, and the opponent dodged it.

Sakura wood stuck to a broken wall.He is as familiar with the factory area as his own palm prints, even if it is covered by phantoms, it will not be affected.He used his eyes to see, his ears to hear, and even his nose to smell, trying to find the figure just now.

"So there are ninjas here." A faint voice suddenly sounded behind Sakuragi.

The voice almost rang close to Sakuragi's ears.Sakuragi stabbed back from the armpit with both swords suddenly, but missed at the same time.He turned around and saw a person standing five meters behind him.In the darkness, he couldn't see his face clearly, only a pair of black and white eyes.

"Who?" Sakuragi asked hoarsely.He came from a family of ninjas, and he was confident that his concealment skills were top-notch, but he was discovered in just half a minute, which is unbelievable.Even if they are well-trained demon hunters, Sakuragi doesn't believe they can do it.

"You don't need to know." The figure replied flatly.

"Aren't you a demon hunter?" Sakuragi put a hand on his waist and pressed it calmly.

He only moved his fingers lightly, but the person on the opposite side snorted and said, "Should I call someone for help?"

This vision has exceeded the range of normal people, and Sakuragi's pupils shrank suddenly: "Are you a different species?"

"It has nothing to do with you." The figure suddenly took a wrong step, allowing a werewolf to rush over behind him.The two passed by, the werewolf let out a painful howl, a long gash was drawn on the side of his body, the hair was scorched black, and the flesh was rolled up.

Sakuragi moved almost at the same time, and rushed forward with both swords in his arms.But the figure on the opposite side suddenly disappeared in place, and the howling of the werewolf stopped abruptly in the next moment, and the figure appeared beside the werewolf, pressing the wolf's head with its left knee, and slowly pulled out a silver cross from the wolf's neck with its right hand.

"Teleportation!" A shocked expression finally appeared on Sakuragi's unchanged face for a hundred years, "You are, you are—a blood race?" And judging by the speed of this teleportation, even Jason couldn't match it!

Gu Yi weighed the Holy Blood Cross in his hand, and glanced at Sakuragi indifferently.The scorched scar on his palm hadn't completely faded away, but he had torn off a piece of clothing to cover the end of his hand, so that he wouldn't be burned any more.

"Which clan are you a blood clan? We are cooperating with the blood clan!" Sakuragi put away the dagger and took two steps forward, "You don't believe it? I'll show you the blood order."

He reached into his pocket and took out something, as if he wanted to hand it to Gu Yi, but just as he raised his hand, Gu Yi suddenly leaned back, his upper body was almost parallel to the ground.Just a few swishes, three silver stars flew past his face, with Gu Yi's eyesight, he could see the shimmering sacred talisman on it.

Sakuragi shot out the shuriken, and immediately jumped on it.Of course he didn't want to get any blood orders, let alone he didn't have one, even if he had one, he wouldn't think that the blood clan in front of him would stop because of this.The so-called unkind person who comes will not come, and only by killing him can he be safe.

But the target in front of him disappeared again, Sakuragi only felt as if a cow hit his ribs, he could hear the sound of three ribs breaking, and then he fell heavily on the ground, his internal organs seemed to be displaced.Suppressing the blood rushing to his throat, Sakuragi saw the blood race opposite him give him a faint look, then turned around and left.

What does it mean?Sakuragi was wondering when he heard panting behind him.He turned his head abruptly, and a red figure appeared in his blurred vision—it was the mixed-species demon No. 206. Now his tail was broken and there was a torn wound on one shoulder, but he was still able to walk towards him , and a pair of red eyes were staring at him closely, full of bloodthirsty killing intent...

After a while, the shadows of the trees dissipated in the air. Under the gray clouds, the park was littered with corpses—the experimental subjects released by Gu Yi from the car were evenly matched with the experimental subjects guarding the park. Putting the sword in the devil's heart, he himself was pierced through the heart by the devil's tail.

Gu Yi staggered.Manipulating illusions is not the talent of the Fanzhuo family. He used Xiao An's blood to temporarily obtain this ability.However, the energy consumed while fighting while maintaining the phantom barrier exceeded his expectations, so that Sakuragi only escaped half of his last desperate assassination. Although Sakuragi was severely injured, a long line was cut on his arm the wound.Fortunately, it was just an ordinary dagger, and the wound was already healing.

A siren sounded in the distance, and Schiller should have brought someone here.Gu Yi looked at the entrance of the building, but gave up the plan to go in. With his current state, he really couldn't hide from those experienced demon hunters, so it's better to retreat first.If everything went well, Takahashi should have given up besieging Tang Ji and was on his way back.Schiller would catch Komatsu one step ahead of them, and maybe wait until Takahashi threw himself into the trap.

The feeling of danger spread from the cervical spine to the waist in an instant like an electric current, and Gu Yi almost instinctively teleported.But his tired and injured body made him a step slower after all. A silver bullet hit his left shoulder, and the holy talisman took effect the moment it entered the skin. the sound of.

Gu Yi raised his head and looked forward. On the other side of the road, behind the long-abandoned flower bed, the black muzzle of the gun was like an eye, staring at him closely.Behind the pistol was a face he was quite familiar with - Zhang Heng.
