Vampire?
Darian wasn't surprised; the other party's characteristics indeed matched the Vampire in his impression.
But isn't this game's setting a bit too much of a mashup, with even fantasy creatures like Vampires popping up?
Darian put away his elbow, shaking his head with a helpless expression: "Look at you, if you had just said so earlier, you wouldn't have had to take this beating."
At least give me a chance to speak!
The Red hair with big waves dared not speak out, convinced that this human was a lunatic.
Darian scrutinized the limp Red hair with big waves, asking curiously: "You say you're a Vampire, what kind are you?"
"Vampires have types?"
The Red hair with big waves was stunned; how did she not know about this?
"Of course, some Vampires are slightly stronger than ordinary people, but can only drink blood, and have a bunch of obvious weaknesses. Some Vampires are not afraid of sunlight and have superpowers, but are love-struck idiots with Water in their brains, constantly involved in love triangles with humans and werewolves. So, which one are you?"
"...I should be the former."
Although the Red hair with big waves didn't really want to admit she had weaknesses, she certainly didn't want to be categorized as a love-struck idiot with Water in her brain.
Darian pressed on: "In America, are there many Vampires like you?"
The Red hair with big waves hesitated: "Not very many, otherwise we would have been discovered by humans long ago."
That much was true.
If Vampires were everywhere, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly be unaware; otherwise, given Fury's personality, he would have already started considering a racial extermination.
Darian continued to ask: "Are the numerous missing persons cases in the Bronx recently related to you Vampires?"
Hearing this, the Red hair with big waves suddenly froze.
But seeing Darian slowly raise his elbow, she quickly said: "Yes, yes! Some time ago, Frost suddenly announced that he would allow us to capture humans ourselves, which is why we started hunting nearby."
"Who is Frost?"
"He is the leader of the half-breeds, and has a very powerful influence among Vampires."
A hint of fear showed in the Red hair with big waves's eyes.
[Mission 'Investigate Missing Persons' settlement complete!]
[Reward: 500 experience points, S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation +10, equipment 'Nichirin Blade']
[Equipment: Nichirin Blade (Crafted from special material that absorbs sunlight, with a fatal effect on all creatures afraid of sunlight)]
[Player, do you want to skip the cutscene and start the next mission?]
According to the normal process, Darian would need to report the situation to Fury, who would then issue the next mission.
But this game system could directly skip this step, allowing players to seamlessly transition to subsequent missions.
The game did a good job on this point.
Unlike some games that force players to watch cutscenes, not even providing a skip option.
"Skip!"
Darian made a decisive choice.
[NPC Fury has issued you a new mission]
[Mission: Vampire Eradication Operation]
[Objective: Clear out the rampant Vampires in New York, time limit one week]
[Reward: Depends on the number of Vampires killed]
Afterwards, Darian asked a few more questions, and the Red hair with big waves answered honestly.
There was no other way; the psychological trauma from that elbow strike was simply too great.
"One last question." Darian held up a finger, "If you answer it correctly, I promise to let you go."
"You ask!"
The Red hair with big waves seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Humans will do anything to survive, and Vampires are no exception!
Darian smiled: "The question is simple: please prove Goldbach's Conjecture."
The Red hair with big waves: "..."
A moment later, Darian pushed open the bathroom door and walked out, but there was no one beside him.
It proved that people really would do anything to live.
Except for math problems!
"By the way, isn't the appearance of my Nichirin Blade a bit too unique? System, you wouldn't give me a fake, would you?"
[The appearance of the Nichirin Blade varies according to the user. Whatever kind of person the user is, that is the appearance of the Nichirin Blade.]
"You call this a Nichirin Blade?"
Darian held up the watermelon knife in his hand, looking speechless.
What kind of person did this watermelon knife represent him to be?
Someone who likes to eat watermelon?
"Ah!!!"
A piercing scream suddenly cut through the din of the bar!
Darian looked in the direction of the sound, only to see someone in the dance floor being violently tackled to the ground by another figure, sharp fangs savagely piercing their neck, blood instantly gushing out!
Clearly, that was also a Vampire.
Like falling dominoes, throughout the bar, one figure after another suddenly erupted, pouncing on unsuspecting humans nearby!
In an instant, countless screams and shrieks echoed throughout the bar!
Facing this attacking horde of Vampires, ordinary humans were powerless to resist, like lambs to the slaughter, one after another becoming dinner for the Vampires.
In a short time, the entire bar transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse!
Emaciated corpses lay haphazardly in sticky pools of blood, the floor reflecting a nauseating crimson glow, and the strong smell of blood was so pungent it made one want to vomit!
In the chaos, some unknown scoundrel manipulated the lights, and a spotlight suddenly shone on Darian, instantly making him the most dazzling person in the entire venue.
In that instant, dozens of blood-red eyes, glinting with hungry ferocity, locked onto Darian in unison, as if he had stumbled into a Uchiha clan gathering.
"Hello, everyone, are you eating? Are you full?"
Darian awkwardly greeted them.
One by one, the Vampires bared their fangs and sneered, surrounding Darian from all directions, intending to prove with their actions that they were not yet full.
Looking at the encircling group of Vampires, Darian showed no panic on his face, merely tightening his grip on the watermelon knife Nichirin Blade.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, after-meal exercise is bad for your health."
The Vampires completely disregarded his words.
The Vampire at the front bared its fangs and rushed impatiently towards Darian, eager to make the first kill.
Swish!
A cold flash quickly passed!
The rushing Vampire's body suddenly stiffened, and a subtle scratch quietly appeared on its neck.
The next second, its head and body silently separated, and its entire body, like a lit piece of paper, instantly turned to ash and dissipated into the air, leaving nothing behind!
Darian rested the watermelon knife on his shoulder, sighing: "Tsk, I have to say, your way of dying is quite environmentally friendly."
The other Vampires' steps abruptly halted!
Their faces were now filled with shock and disbelief.
One must know, Vampires are creatures with extremely tenacious vitality; ordinary weapons have no effect on them whatsoever.
Even powerful gunshots would only cause wounds that would quickly heal.
Only by incorporating substances like pure silver, which are naturally anathema to Vampires, could one inflict irreparable fatal damage upon them.
Yet this human, with a single slash, instantly killed their companion, not even giving it a chance to heal.
Is this really a watermelon knife?!
