Although she didn't understand what happened just now, Aunt Lin also saw that Richard used some means to restore her daughter to normal.If Aunt Lin looked at Richard just in admiration before, it has almost turned into awe and worship now.
"How did you do it?" She asked in amazement, "Is it qigong? Or is it?"
Aunt Lin obviously regarded Richard as some kind of secretive and reclusive inner master. In the blink of an eye, she had already made up for Richard a martial art with a long history and passed down from generation to generation. background.Aunt Lin read oriental martial arts novels when she was a child. She knew that the internal masters in the novels used internal force to force out toxins. She felt that what Richard just did must be similar.
"Uh, no, actually, well, more or less."
Richard wanted to explain at first, but on second thought he decided to forget it.After all, Ultraman's power of light is more difficult to explain, so it's better to let Aunt Lin treat it as a family skill, which may be easier for her to accept.
As a result, Aunt Lin suddenly became excited.I can't tell it usually, but this aunt actually still has the soul of a martial arts fan in her heart.She immediately pulled Richard to ask him about his mastery, what kind of school he was, what kind of exercises he used, and whether there was any school inheritance or something.
Richard said yes, my sect is the 78 Kingdom of Light, and my teacher is Xu Ya. I am good at the exercise "Heaven and Earth Wushuang Cross Storm", which can shatter mountains and rivers and shake mountains and rivers with one blow.
But of course he didn't say anything.As a result, Aunt Lin didn't ask any more questions, and just nodded repeatedly with an expression of "I understand".In her opinion, Richard's apprenticeship must be the kind of outsider who doesn't care about the world in the novel, and it should be kept secret.
The girl escaped the catastrophe, and she was also very grateful for Richard's shot. When she sent him out, her pair of watery eyes stared at him a little uncomfortable.Richard rejected Aunt Lin's invitation to have dinner with Chloe on the grounds that Chloe still needs to rest, and left their house.
But to be honest, in fact, Richard didn't know that he could do this before.Thinking about it carefully, the light of Nexus in the original work does have the special function of "purification", which can be said to be the natural enemy of darkness.
But he could feel that it might be because it wasn't long after Chloe was bitten, and she hadn't had time to be completely infected and transformed into a vampire, so she could turn back into a human after purifying the dark part of her body.If the time dragged on longer until Chloe had completely turned into a vampire physically and mentally, I am afraid that even with Ultraman's light, she could only be wiped out together with her body, and there would be no chance of saving her.
In any case, at least the experience proved that vampires were real, and that Cathy's story was solid.The blood race has always existed in this world, living in the shadow of human society, like living in a crack.Now that he knew the truth, Richard felt that it was their newspaper's responsibility to announce the matter.It is impossible for him to completely wipe out this race from the entire world, but at least people may be vigilant after reading the reports, and maybe someone will be rescued because of this.
So now the question becomes - how do you prove to people that vampires are real?
It's not that no one has ever noticed the existence of blood races in the past, but even if the victims report it to the police or the media, such things will only be regarded as talking points for laughing.The topic of vampires is often similar in nature to those rumors such as "a ufo discovered in a strange place".
But Richard felt that it was not too complicated to prove the existence of vampires.
Don't they all say that seeing is believing?Wouldn't it be nice for him to catch a few live ones?It's not that difficult anyway
Not to mention a few vampires, if Richard really has the energy and patience to fight against these vampires, it is not impossible for him to wipe out the entire city of vampires in time.
It is not difficult to see from the original works that Nexus' able-bodied people have extremely strong perception-based superpowers. The tv works mainly show the ability to perceive alien beasts. Those who are capable can often perceive the vibration waves when alien beasts appear thousands of miles away, so they can rush to the scene to fight in the first time .
Through the last battle with the alien beast Pedron, Richard found that he had also awakened this perception ability, and it seemed to be more than that.After just coming into contact with the darkness in Chloe's body that gradually transformed her into a vampire, Richard felt that the light in his body seemed to remember the characteristics of this darkness.Although this kind of darkness is too weak compared to the vibratory waves of alien beasts, he seems to be able to vaguely detect the existence of this force within a certain range.
For example, right now, he feels that there seem to be multiple similar targets somewhere in the southwest direction of him, and the positions are relatively concentrated.If his perception is correct, then Richard speculates that there may be a vampire stronghold over there, and there should be a lot of them.
Richard thought about it, and first sent a text message to Jessica that she had to go back later to let her solve today's dinner by herself, and then he started to move towards that position.
Just tonight, he was going to catch some live vampires back.
Chapter 51 Lawless Land
Manhattan, corner of No. 30 Ninth Street.
For most citizens who are familiar with Manhattan, this unremarkable corner store with a dilapidated facade is just an ordinary nightclub.But for certain people—or certain things—there is lawlessness here.
Hidden at the bottom of the nightclub, past the dilapidated facade and rusted escalators, is a surprisingly large, dark space.The hall was crowded with people, and the dark figures twisted their bodies one by one, dancing some kind of dance like an ancient sacrificial ceremony.Dazzling colored lights flashed over everyone's heads over and over again, and the sound of gothic music hovered in the air.
It's almost like a devil's feast.
A dozen or twenty haggard, disheveled teenagers and girls were surrounded by the carnival crowd on the dance floor in the middle of the hall, and the colorful spotlights flickered on and off in the center of the dance floor, as if they were the theme of the carnival.Some of them were trafficked, some were smugglers, illegal immigrants, but these are not important anymore.
Here they have only one identity, and that is food.
This is one of the haunts of vampires living in New York.Every once in a while the vampires will hold a feast here with the theme of singing, dancing and eating.The food for each feast is carefully selected by the host and brought to young people, which may belong to "fine food" in the eyes of vampires.
A decent-looking vampire in a suit and a bow tie slowly walked up the steps, showing his sharp fangs, and looked at one of the pretty girls with a grin.He stretched out his finger and slowly slid it along the girl's snow-white cheek to the delicate chin, his hungry eyes were like looking at a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The girl's expression was dull, as if she had been completely numb to her own dark fate.In fact, all the people who were brought here were like that.
For them, there is no future.
boom!
A discordant muffled sound came from the back of the hall.Although the music was quite loud, vampires had a hearing far superior to that of ordinary people, and everyone present could clearly hear the sound.
All the vampires stopped dancing and turned their heads vigilantly towards the direction of the entrance.
Bloodlines in the Marvel universe aren't as glamorous as their counterparts in many other stories.Speaking of it, vampires seem to be much stronger than humans, but their own fatal weaknesses such as fear of sunlight and silverware are doomed to be in a weak position in racial confrontation with humans.In addition, in a system like Marvel, vampires are really no big deal, not to mention that most of the superheroes in New York can fight a group of vampires one by one.
Therefore, the way of survival of the blood race in this world is actually quite difficult. They rely on pretending to be human beings, accumulating wealth and social status to find living space for their own race in the cracks.
Because of this, most vampires are actually quite insecure.They are afraid of being discovered and exposed, because once they are under the sun and forced to fight with humans, they all know that they have no chance of winning.
The door of the hall was violently kicked open from the outside.Richard was dressed casually, standing casually at the open doorway, his eyes quickly swept across the large crowd of vampires.
Oh, I won the lottery.
Before Richard came over, he thought that there were only three or five vampires gathered here, but he didn't expect that he won the jackpot in a blind guess, and bumped into one of the largest gatherings of vampires in Manhattan.
But no luck for these vampires.
"Humanity?"
The vampires began to stir up.Their innate sense of smell can help them quickly distinguish different types, and at the first moment they all realized that the guy who broke in suddenly was just a pure-blooded human being.
A human being, isn't that equivalent to food?
The vampires all began to show excited expressions, as if they saw fried chicken legs delivered to their door by themselves.Can you believe that there are extra meals for tonight's feast?
A female vampire, who was standing closer to the door and was wearing only underwear, came over, with a seductive smile on her lips.With a smile, she twisted her waist and walked to Richard: "This handsome gentleman, do you want to have a carnival together?"
Richard squinted at her, and silently took out the energy blaster without saying a word.A burst of azure blue light waves, the female vampire maintained a smiley expression when she was hit by the blue light, and her whole body split apart under the dazzling light in an instant.Everyone could clearly see that her fair skin was gradually corroded and shattered, exposing her white bones, and then it was also broken down into flying particles in the next half a second.
In less than a second, the female vampire was smashed to pieces under the watchful eyes of all the vampires, not even a drop of scum was left.
