Chapter 198 Major Event : Blood Clan Hunter (I)

July 7, on the 21th floor of the Tongmenghui Building.

The girl in the Gothic skirt stood against the wall, hugged her shoulders, and tapped her arm lightly with her slender index finger.

She frowned and thought for a while, then asked indifferently: "That strange thing, what else did it say?"

"That's all I said." Little Red Riding Hood paused and said softly, "I didn't want to mention this matter. After all, what the monster said is unreliable. But the senior lives in the old Jingmai district and happens to have an albino sister at home."

As she spoke, she raised her head and checked Ashes' expression with her peripheral vision before continuing.

"So I thought that what it said might be related to you. If I was the one who said too much, then I apologize in advance, senior, and I hope you won't be mean to me."

"I understand. Be careful on your way back."

Magical Girl Ash said as she lowered her head, thinking absentmindedly. The gray ribbon tied on her head swayed, tickling her slender shoulders.

"Well, then I'm going back."

After saying that, Little Red Riding Hood nodded, turned around and walked into the Tongmenghui’s special elevator.

I swiped my ID card on the operating panel in the elevator and took the elevator to the bottom floor.

Watching this scene from Little Red Riding Hood's perspective, Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "It's impossible that my elder sister and younger sister combined can't keep an eye on Zi Ling, right?"

After that, having explained some key matters to the magical girl Ashes and reminded her to be careful, Little Red Riding Hood parted ways with Ashes.

He then untransformed himself near the Tongmenghui building to avoid attracting attention.

Not long after, Ke Mingye made You Minglu walk into a corner where no one knew and explode. Quickly recover the puppet and reduce the cooling time required to release the puppet again.

Since then, he has been staying at home playing games with Bai Ziling and Ke Yongzhu, making sure that Bai Ziling would not run around, so as not to expose her to the sight of the vampire hunters at such a critical time.

Because of Gastro's blatant threat that day, Bai Ziling has been hiding at home these days and has not gone out. Only yesterday did she suddenly propose to go out for a trip, but her purpose was also to temporarily escape from the city.

Apart from the time she spent at home, she would at most accompany Yongzhu for a walk downstairs, or go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some drinks.

With the ability of an elementary school student, if someone was observing them, he would definitely find out in an instant. So when he and Bai Ziling were walking, they were absolutely safe.

As for Bai Ziling going to the supermarket downstairs to buy drinks, it was also safe - because within a hundred meters of the duplex apartment building in the old Jingmai district, there was no possibility of parasites. The eldest and second brothers stayed at home. With the strength of these two monsters, they could easily detect that someone nearby was controlled by parasites, and they could quietly remove the parasites from their bodies without hurting the other party.

It is even possible that the parasites in the internal organs of these infected people may be crushed before they even realize what is happening.

So there is no doubt that there is no reason for Gastro to know the location of Bai Ziling.

Unless she used that "Book of Prophecy".

But Ke Mingye still doesn't know whether the book of prophecy that Gastro mentioned really exists. After all, this is just her one-sided statement.

Time passed quickly and it was noon.

The living room of the Bo Ke family.

Seeing that his second brother was still at home, Ke Mingye walked to the entrance, took out sneakers from the shoe cabinet, put them on, and was about to leave the house when Bai Qiuwu, who was sitting at the table reading a book, suddenly spoke and called him.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Ke Mingye turned his head to look at her.

"It's so hot today, why don't you go out?" Bai Qiuwu said, putting her finger between the pages of the book. She paused and continued, "Be careful of heat stroke."

"It's okay, I'll just take a taxi and meet up with my friend." Ke Mingye sighed, "There are air conditioners in the car and his room, so he won't get a heat stroke, so don't worry about it."

"Well..." Bai Qiuwu said, "You will be a sophomore next year, and your studies will be very intense. Let me help you prepare for the sophomore courses in advance. Don't go out these few days."

"No, sister, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"

Ke Mingye said, turning the handle and opening the door. "Hasn't the weather been like this these past few days? If I were to get a heat stroke, I would have gotten one a long time ago. Or do you think I should go to the Internet cafe? I haven't been to an Internet cafe since junior high school."

"It's still not working." Bai Qiuwu shook his head, still stubborn, "Wouldn't it be better to spend some time playing with your brothers and sisters? Don't you agree, Yongzhu, Xiaoling?"

"Then let him go out right away." Ke Yongzhu smacked his lips. "He's not as good as the one sitting in front of the screen playing. I guess even if I sprinkle some rice chicken on the controller, I can play better than him."

Bai Ziling didn't say anything, but just glanced at Ke Mingye out of the corner of her eye through her snow-white hair.

"Did you hear that? Summer vacation is two months long. I'm almost sick of staying at home everyday. How can I not play with them?"

As he spoke, Ke Mingye rolled his eyes at Bai Qiuwu in annoyance, "Tell me the truth, elder sister. Was it because my second brother and I came home too late last time that we offended our mother, and then she put me under house arrest, and secretly bribed you to help keep an eye on me?"

Bai Qiuwu was stunned for a moment. She wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, she simply took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay. It's true that my mother asked me to keep an eye on you. There's nothing I can do."

Mom, you mean the dice monster and the weird thing. Ke Mingye complained about Bai Qiuwu in his heart.

At this time, Ke Xiaomo was cutting vegetables in the kitchen. When he heard the conversation between the two, his right hand on the chopping board paused slightly.

He thought, judging from Bai Qiuwu's reaction, she should have known that Mingye dressed up as a superhero every day and hung out in the Super Hero Association.

But... I'll be watching Mingye later, so there won't be any danger if he goes out.

Thinking of this, Ke Xiaomo said as he picked up the knife to cut vegetables: "Let him go. He's just playing with friends during the holiday. Although the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam is crooked, but there is no need to be so strict."

Hearing this, Bai Qiuwu hesitated for two seconds, her mind still echoing with the warning given by the strange thing, asking her to keep an eye on Mingye and Ziling, saying that if anything happened, "Okay, then I'll go out later."

"Who cares about you." Ke Mingye sighed, "But your sister, you should be careful not to get heatstroke." As he said that, he picked up the sun hat on the shoe cabinet and threw it to Bai Qiuwu.

Bai Qiuwu took the sun hat and said, "Okay, go out now. Be careful on the road."

"OkayOkay."

Ke Mingye responded perfunctorily, walked out of the house, and quickly took the elevator to the bottom floor.

Afterwards, he walked all the way to the abandoned train station in the Laojingmai district, and found a public wooden chair on the empty platform to sit down.

Open your phone and enter WeChat.

Because the only person in the family who openly communicated with him was Baizini, he opened the WeChat chat interface with Baizini.

Just as I was about to send a message to Baizini, a text popped up on the screen.

[Bai Zini: Brother, I'm home. Where are you? Didn't you say you would go shopping with me this afternoon? ]

【Bai Zini: (Panda shaking hands and gritting teeth emoji)】

[Ke Mingye: I received an urgent notice. I have to go to the Super Hero Association this afternoon. The boss called me, so I have to go.]

【Bai Zini: Okay, okay, work is more important than your sister, right? 】

[Ke Mingye: Hey, what can I do? You, please help me.]

[Bai Zini: Damn it, you stood me up and still want my help, are you human? ]

【Bai Zini: (Panda puffing face expression pack)】

[Ke Mingye: Can you please stop showing off? You have to attend meetings every day as a magical girl. Even if you don’t have meetings, you still need to clock in at the Tongmenghui building, right?]

[Bai Zini: Yes, there is a meeting. But I won’t stand you up for it.]

【Ke Mingye: Oh, I’m sorry. 】

【Bai Zini: So what do you want me to do? 】

[Ke Mingye: It's very simple. Please help me see if my second brother is at home and what he is doing. Since he knew my identity, he often came to the train station in the old Jingmai district to watch over me. I am almost annoyed. Please help me keep an eye on him.]

[Bai Zini: He's still cooking in the kitchen and can't get away for now, so forget about it. Hurry up and put on that owl cosplay costume and go to the association meeting. When you come back, go shopping with me! ]

[Ke Mingye: Okay, okay, I don’t know how long the meeting will last. My commander is particularly good at talking nonsense.]

[Bai Zini: Come back quickly anyway. I have something to tell you.]

[Ke Mingye: What's the matter? ]

[Bai Zini: It’s related to that weird thing. It’s so annoying, so annoying! ]

After receiving the message and confirming that his second brother was still at home, Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he quickly took out the Blue Owl suit from the locker on the platform, and then created a trick puppet, made it transform into his appearance, put on the suit, put on the helmet and mask, and rushed towards the Super Hero Association.

As for Ke Mingye himself, he took out a night belt from his bag, put it on his waist, then turned on the stealth function and carefully withdrew from the Lao Jingmai District. He remained highly alert all the way and did not miss any movement, for fear that he would run into his second brother at this time and the fact that he used the puppet would be exposed - then he would be close to death, or rather, already dead.

Soon after, Ke Mingye approached his secret base: the basement of Hongdeng Commercial Street.

I walked into the alley, used the key given by Anti-Dog to open the door to the basement, and then wandered around in the underground maze for a while, and finally found the basement.

While entering the basement, he controlled the Blue Owl to fly between high-rise buildings, and with the trick puppet's outstanding and light body, he quickly approached the Super Hero Building.

Then, in front of an old lady who was hanging clothes on the rooftop, he slid down coquettishly while holding onto the electric pole, and landed on the ground. He patted her on the shoulder and entered the bottom floor of the Chaoying Building.

A moment later, on the 45th floor of the Super Hero Association Building, in the north corner.

The door of the glass-walled elevator slowly opened, and Blue Owl walked out, looking up at the office in front of him.

I saw that the office door was closed and there was a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

It can be seen that Che Zhengchen must have something to deal with and cannot get away for the time being.

"What a busy man..."

Seeing this, Blue Owl put his hands on his hips and sighed, then sat on a chair in the corridor, quietly waiting for Che Zhengchen in the office to finish the matters at hand.

After a while, he got bored of waiting, so he took out his phone from his uniform pocket and opened the official APP of the Super Hero Association. He clicked into the Super Hero Community Forum and saw a post about a group of heroes from around Beijing that was making a lot of noise.

The B-class superhero team led by Balloon Man has a new member codenamed "Autobot". This new member is a superpower, whose superpower is to summon a car with turrets and can merge with the car at any time.

The socialite in the Balloon Man team, codenamed "Rose in the Palm", Kang Qilin, posted a post in the Super Hero Community last night: [Autobots, assemble, come in and see Optimus Prime! ] In the post, she posted a video of the superhero "Autobots" using their superpowers to summon the chariot in the test room and merge with it.

The scene was so bizarre that the post became extremely popular the next day and was directly ranked first in the number of views on the Super Hero Community Forum.

Superheroes from all over the world dropped witty comments on this spectacle, and many female heroes even said that they wanted to be forum friends with the Autobots, and paid a large sum of money to get his contact information from Rose in the Palm.

Blue Owl wanted to make a clever comment, but after thinking it over, he decided not to make a comment.

"They are all strong men. A nobody like me is not worthy of speaking."

He yawned and thought to himself.

The White Wings were currently only a D-class superhero team in the association, and were not very popular. They were the lowest-level superhero team, and could not compare to a B-class team like the Balloon Man team.

Besides, he was only the lowest level E-class superhero. Among the thousands of superheroes in the forum, E-class was a common existence and was completely inconspicuous.

Blue Owl browsed the forum for a while, and just when he was getting bored, the electronic sign on the office door suddenly changed from "Do Not Disturb" to "Come In".

Seeing this, Blue Owl stood up from his chair and stretched.

He turned the doorknob, opened the office door, walked to his desk, pulled up a black swivel chair and sat down.

Blue Owl put his hands together in front of his stomach and asked, "Uh...can I see my supernatural mentor today?"

Che Zhengchen put down his pen and took a sip of water. "Probably I won't see him anymore."

"Can't I see him again?" Blue Owl sighed, "This Blue Crow is too hard to see. Why don't you just find me a new supernatural mentor?"

"It's not necessary. If he is willing to teach you seriously, listening to his words is more useful than 10 tutors combined."

Che Zhengchen put down the cup and said with a smile.

Blue Owl said in a long voice: "That's because he is willing to teach me seriously."

After a pause, he asked tentatively: "By the way, is it possible that Qing Ya already knows who I am?"

"No, from the brief exchange I had with him, he probably doesn't know yet."

Che Zhengchen shook his head to deny it.

"Why?" Blue Owl tilted its head, its beak tilted. "Logically speaking, with Blue Crow's tracking ability, he should be able to easily find out my identity, but why didn't he do that?"

"Perhaps... Qing Ya is also unwilling to see clearly who is under your mask."

Che Zhengchen said this and adjusted his glasses.

"what?"

"He was afraid that he would hesitate, hesitate whether to use you as bait to lure out the watch man. He was afraid that when he knew that you were a young man like Gray Pigeon as he thought, his heart would be devoured by guilt again."

Hearing this, Blue Owl was silent for a while.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this topic for now."

As he spoke, Che Zhengchen raised his eyes and looked at Blue Owl: "The main reason I came to you today is to tell you about the association's advancement system. The hero level is assessed using a points system. An E-level superhero needs to accumulate 500 points to be promoted to a D-level superhero. There are many ways to gain points, and carrying out missions is the most common way."

He paused and said, "In addition, superheroes who have made significant contributions and outstanding achievements in various fields of the country, such as 'Celadon Man' who used his superpowers to help the country develop new energy, may be promoted to the next level as an exception, or even skip several levels, even if they have not accumulated enough points to meet the requirements."

"I see. So I'm only 200 points away from becoming a D-rank hero?" asked Blue Owl.

"Almost." Che Zhengchen nodded. "But it still needs to be evaluated by the committee. However, it is just a matter of going through the procedures. Unless there are any hidden dangers in your background, you will generally be promoted safely."

"Okay, then..."

As he spoke, the entire office was suddenly dyed with a dazzling red.

Blue Owl's voice suddenly stopped. He put his hands on the armrests of the swivel chair and turned his head to look around. "Could it be the same as last time? Someone invaded the Super Hero Building again?"

"Something's not right. Normally, if an outsider invades, there should be an alarm." Che Zhengchen frowned.

At this moment, the entire Super Hero Building entered red alert mode, suspected of being attacked from outside. So after receiving the warning, a group of superheroes flew out of the window to check the situation.

The window of Che Zhengchen's office was slowly being covered by a layer of iron sheet, and soon the scene outside the window could no longer be seen.

"I can't fly. So what should we do?" asked the Blue Owl.

"wait for me."

As he spoke, Che Zhengchen opened the private software on his phone and checked the reason for the alert mode. But when he found out the source, he was slightly stunned.

This time the red alert mode was not because the defense mechanism of the Super Hero Building detected external danger, but was directly turned on by a senior member of an association using his authority.

"This time the defense mode was manually activated by the top brass. And currently there is only one person in the Beijing Ring who has the authority to activate this: the president of the Beijing Ring Superhero Association branch, Li Qingyao."

When he mentioned the last name, Che Zhengchen was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered something.

A few weeks ago, he met with the branch president Li Qingyao at an underground bar.

But for some reason, he did not see Li Qingyao at that time, and the scene in the bar was blurry in his mind, and he could hardly find a complete memory.

If I didn't meet the president, who was the person I met in that underground bar?

What happened to the president at that time?

Thinking of this, Che Zhengchen felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, and a figure gradually appeared in his mind: a red-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair, holding a cane.

"I don't know what it is, but someone is taking the elevator up to our floor."

As Blue Owl spoke, he glanced at the glass-walled elevator outside the office. The number on the sign was gradually rising, getting closer and closer to the 15th floor.

"Be careful, things are very strange." Che Zhengchen operated the laptop and said thoughtfully, "The surveillance videos are all black, and it's not because of a hacker attack, but... the senior management used administrative privileges to manually shut down the surveillance cameras?"

At the end of his speech, his tone gradually became strange.

Hearing this, Blue Owl was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth to confirm whether he had heard correctly.

"Uh... did the higher-ups manually shut down the monitors?"

"Yes."

As the two were talking, the glass-curtain-wall elevator reached the 15th floor and the door of the car slowly opened outwards.

The blue owl sensed something was wrong and looked quickly.

However, before he could see the figure in the car clearly through the tiny gap, he saw a sudden, sharp black shadow coming with a whistling sound and instantly piercing his shoulder.

The blue owl flew backwards.

He was nailed to the wall of the corridor. He looked closely and found that it was a black metal arrow that nailed his shoulder. Blood was flowing everywhere, and the sudden numbness made him unable to move.

箭？
My second brother mentioned in a text message that one of the three vampire hunters was an archer, so it seems that she is the one.

Why was she able to get on the elevator of the Super Hero Association without an ID card?
And why did the top management turn off the surveillance footage and activate the alert mode, drawing the attention of the superheroes to the outside of the building?

It's like helping these vampire hunters...

Commander Che said that the only person who could manually activate this alert mode was Li Qingyao, the president of the Beijing-based Super Heroes Association.

Could it be that... Li Qingyao has been infected by Gastro's parasites?

But when was that?
As the blue owl thought about it, he struggled to raise his head and forced his trembling eyelids to look forward.

He saw a woman wearing a green raincoat and a green ghost mask on her face slowly walking out of the elevator and appearing in his blurry vision.

"You are Blue Owl." Link walked into the office, looked at the photo in his hand, and said, "I have something to talk to you about. Come with me."

As she spoke, she approached the office wall at an astonishing speed and knocked the blue owl unconscious with her bow.

Then, Link glanced at Che Zhengchen from the corner of his eye, and casually took out an arrow. He held it in his hand and stabbed Che Zhengchen's arm.

"Uhhhhhh-!"

Che Zhengchen screamed. As an ordinary person, he had no way of reacting to the attack of a superhuman. At this moment, a cut appeared on his arm. Blood flowed out like a waterfall, staining the arrow red.

"I don't kill people randomly on principle. There's a little poison on it, so you can sleep for a while."

After saying this, Link turned his gaze away from Che Zhengchen.

She took out a box from her hand, "This thing has always been used for vampires. This is the first time it's used on a living person."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pressed the box, and the blue owl's body was immediately sucked into the narrow box like air.

Seeing this, Link put the box into his pocket, got on the glass-walled elevator, and pressed the first floor button on the control panel.

"Blue Owl..."

The elevator door closed, and Che Zhengchen covered the wound on his arm, watching Blue Owl being abducted but unable to do anything. He leaned against the wall of the office and slowly fell down, closing his heavy eyelids.

At the same time, in a basement in the Hongdeng Commercial District.

Seeing that Blue Owl's perspective had darkened, Ke Mingye slowly opened his eyes, cold sweat seeping out of his forehead.

"Gastro actually attacked Blue Owl, which was exactly what he wanted."

he thought.

"It seems that Gastro won't kill me directly. Then, I will most likely be able to see the true face of these vampire hunters next."

　Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you meow.
