Chapter 201 Major Event : Blood Clan Hunter (IV)
"By the way, your hunter friends are nearby?" Blue Owl asked casually.
Stro did not respond, but just lowered his eyes and looked at the picture book quietly.
"Okay. Just ignore me. But it looks like you didn't expect the dice freak."
As he spoke, Blue Owl withdrew his gaze from her, lowered his head, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
"I'm going to use the bathroom."
After saying that, Stro looked up from the book, put the fairy tale picture book aside, turned the wheels with both hands to move the wheelchair forward, and slid down a downward slope to the next level.
Blue Owl's arms were hanging on the pillar. He heard what Stroll said, raised his head slightly, looked at her profile and said, "Uh, should I say please?"
"That's not necessary. You're a dead man, there's no need to pay attention to etiquette."
Stro's teasing came from the floor below, getting farther and farther away.
Blue Owl sighed and looked around, thinking, with the speed my father and second brother are running, it shouldn't take long for them to get here. They should come and take a look at the situation first. If they can beat them, they can just kill them both. If not, they can rescue me first and then call for reinforcements. By the time my eldest brother and the association's A-level heroes arrive, the other side will have no chance of winning.
After a while, Stro pushed the wheelchair back to this floor. He still sat in the corner not far from the blue owl and continued to read the fairy tale book.
Blue Owl asked, "By the way, what is that pattern on your arm?"
"It's called the 'Blood Clan Oath Seal'." Stro lowered his head.
"Will that thing kill you?"
"Yeah, so I need a vampire heart."
Stro paused, looking nonchalant, "You know what? I just found out yesterday that there is another person in this city who has the blood clan's oath mark on him."
As she spoke, she raised her lips slightly. "I have to say, it really fits the Chinese joke, 'You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.'"
"Another holder of the Vampire Oath Seal?" Blue Owl asked in a strange tone.
He thought to himself, it seems that my sister is the only vampire in this city. Gastro said that there is another unlucky guy in Huanjing who was marked with the blood clan oath. It is impossible that the blood clan oath on the other unlucky guy was carved by my sister, right?
Stro replied: "Yes. This oath seal will draw blood from me regularly, and as I age, the amount will slowly increase. Just like raising a pig, at first I just scrape the fur and fat from you, and then when you are fat, I will slaughter you and roast you for the table."
As she spoke, she looked away from the book. "But, the blood clan oath of that person is different from mine. It's better to say... it's completely opposite to mine."
"completely opposite?"
Blue Owl spoke each word with a puzzled tone.
"Yes, the oath mark on his body is hidden. It will not appear normally, and he won't even notice it. But this oath mark can send a notification to the vampire who engraved the oath mark on him when he is in danger. It is like a protective measure."
Stro paused for a moment and then continued.
"Also, when he enters the dying state, the vampire will transfer some of his own blood to him to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss... Even if the vampire wants, he can transplant his heart to him when he is dying and bring him back to life. After all, his body will have been accustomed to her blood by then, so it wouldn't be awkward even if she stuffed a heart into his body."
Wait, what the hell is this setting?
Hearing this, Blue Owl was stunned for a few seconds, then he asked in a calm tone: "Oh, there is such a vow among the vampires, don't they treat humans as prey?"
"Who knows?" Stro said, "This really refreshed my understanding. I originally thought that vampires were all bad guys who treated humans as prey, but now it seems that there may really be vampires with humanity in the world. This vampire sister is really gentle, isn't she?"
Blue Owl was silent for a while: "Have you found out who this human being who was sworn into?"
"you guess?"
"How am I supposed to guess?"
"Your true form." Stro said faintly.
Mist grass?
what's the situation?
Wait, is she bluffing?
Blue Owl was stunned. He continued to play dumb while thinking: "My real self, what are you talking about?"
"Isn't it true? He looks exactly like you." Stro said, "At the moment when I was about twenty meters away from you, my blood clan oath mark allowed me to feel you."
Ah? There really is a blood clan oath mark on my fucking body? Could it be that Ziling secretly put a poison on me?
Blue Owl thought as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Did you see it wrong?" he asked.
"Could I be wrong?"
He thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's not talk about whether that person is me or not. Why can your blood clan oath seal sense his oath seal, but his oath seal can't sense yours?"
"Because the oath mark on his body is invisible, even he himself can't detect it, let alone like me."
Blue Owl remained silent and did not respond for the time being, so as not to reveal his flaws. He did not know whether Stroh was testing him or not. After all, this guy was really good at acting, and the two of them had been competing in acting skills for a long time.
Stello said calmly, "You were picking up a cake from a cake shop, right? Link and I wanted to take you away. But Link said that the kid next to you was very strong and it was difficult to attack him or even follow him, so we let you go."
Cake shop...
It seems that she really ran into him.
Is the child she was talking about Yongzhu? Fortunately, when I went to buy the cake, the elementary school student was next to me, otherwise my original body would have been captured by Gastro.
Blue Owl breathed a sigh of relief, but was secretly shocked.
"What a pity! If we had more people, we could have taken you away. But... although I couldn't catch you, I used a prop on you before I left." Stro said, "I just bought this prop from the mall a few days ago. It allows me to say a few key words and then read some memory images in your mind."
She paused and said jokingly, "I said the three key words 'blood clan', 'family', and 'player'. Guess what I saw in your mind?"
Blue Owl was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes to look at her and asked disapprovingly.
"What do you see?"
"I've seen a lot. There's a reason why that vampire girl trusts you so much." Stro said, "From your perspective, this group of family members is really good. She is also innocent and shouldn't have died in my hands, right?"
The blue owl remained silent and avoided her gaze.
"By the way, your acting is pretty good, Spider-Man... Oh no, you have other names, 'Dice Freak', 'Blue Owl', 'Ke Mingye', but I don't know which name I should call you by. It's better to say... who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?"
Stro rested his chin on his hand and spoke calmly.
"Although I guessed that the player was you, and the dice freak should be related to you. But I have to say, I really didn't think for even a second that the dice freak was actually you."
Blue Owl tried to shrug, but his body was too tightly held by the chains, so he could only tilt his head. "I don't understand what you're saying. Sure enough, what you said about 'all players are schizophrenic' does make sense."
"You know, I can't send you a friend request, which means it's not you who's here."
Stello ignored his words and continued, "The Blue Owl and the Dice Monster have appeared in the same interface many times, so it proves that you can control at least one puppet."
She paused and said, "In a sense, we are really alike."
"I don't think there's anything similar between you and me," Blue Owl said. "But if you invent a character and put me in that character, and then say that I'm similar to you, then I can only say that you're already immersed in your own world, and no matter how I refute you, it's useless."
"That's just what you think. The fact is that we are very similar." Stro said, "When I read the memory of the keyword 'family', I saw some scenes of you before you came here. You are the same as me... The expression on your face when you bought a cake for that girl didn't seem fake."
"Enough of that nonsense?"
"As a patient, I have known how to pretend to be optimistic in front of my parents since I was a child. I know how to observe other people's expressions. Believe me... I know more about acting than you do." Stroh paused, "So I know that you are not acting. We are the same, Ke Mingye."
"When did I ever say I was acting? Don't let your paranoia get too serious. Don't give yourself a brain orgasm."
"If you want to continue deceiving yourself, I'll let you do whatever you want."
"So...what do you want me to say?"
"So, let's cooperate." Stro said calmly, "You can temporarily leave this family and travel around the world with me, Link, Flinks and others. By the way, find those 100 players within a year and kill them all."
She paused and said, "As a price, only one of your family members will die, and that is your albino sister. I need her heart, and this is a last resort."
Blue Owl was silent for a long time: "So she is a vampire?"
"You're still pretending. It seems like you're the one who can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy." Stro shook his head.
"Whether I'm pretending or not, I'm going to refuse."
Blue Owl spoke slowly, his tone cold.
"As expected... I guessed you would refuse." Stro lowered his eyes, "This proves our similarities even more. If you said to me, 'Hand over Flinks's heart and the fight between us will end', I would also refuse. There is nothing I can do about it."
"So we can only fight," said Blue Owl.
"Yes, the kind that never ends." said Stro.
The two spoke in casual tones, avoiding each other's gazes.
After a while, Blue Owl whispered, "You have no chance of winning. There is still time to leave now." "Why do you think I have no chance of winning?"
"Close to zero."
Stro said, "Do you think I fell into a trap? By bringing you here, I have exposed my own position."
Blue Owl raised his eyes and stared at her, "What else?"
Stro said, "You are too naive. I am just playing along."
"Take advantage of their own wits?" Blue Owl murmured.
"You think I fell into your trap, but I just want to lure your family away. If they come to rescue you, it will be easier to break into the apartment building in the old Jingmai district. The white-haired vampire should be isolated and helpless now. Don't worry... Even if I find your true form, I will not attack you for the time being, because I think no matter what, you will still stand on my side in the end."
She paused and said, "So, after catching the white-haired vampire, Flinks and I will leave this city. We will meet again then, perhaps in half a year."
Blue Owl was silent for a moment, then said disapprovingly: "It seems that the memory you read from my brain is not complete enough."
"Do you mean?"
"My family..." Blue Owl paused and sighed slightly, "They are all monsters. Even if you lead some of them away, it will be useless. The rest are still monsters among monsters."
"Excuse me, my 'family' are all monsters too." Stro smiled, "I don't think they are inferior to your family."
"Well, from this point of view alone, we do have some similarities."
"Aren't you afraid?" Stro said jokingly, "You're afraid that I will tell your family your true identity. After all, they are on their way to rescue you now."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Blue Owl said calmly, "If they've already come, they should be fighting with your companions now. So, you're the one who's alone and helpless."
He paused. "Before they reach this floor, you will die here, in my hands. Because of this, there is no possibility that my identity will be exposed."
"That's really cruel. Don't you think that compared to me, you sound more like a villain?" Stro said innocently, "I'm the one who gives in everywhere."
"Like you, I just had no choice."
"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's decide the winner here..."
Stroh paused and said softly, "It's a fight to the death." As she spoke, a hint of teasing suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she changed the subject, "Although I want to say this, is there a possibility?"
"What's possible?"
"The only one staying here is my puppet," she said slowly.
"Impossible." Blue Owl sneered, "I have used an item to identify it. You who are here are a player. This means that you in front of me are undoubtedly the real you. Is bluffing fun?"
According to the identity judgment of Anchor Sunglasses, the person within eight meters of the Blue Owl is "Gastro (player)". Others may deceive him, but the system's judgment will not be wrong.
At this moment, because ten minutes had already passed, Ke Mingye's sunglasses could no longer locate Stro.
However, up until now, Stro's position had remained unchanged in this abandoned building, so he was sure that the girl in front of him was Gastro himself.
"It was indeed me who was here just now, but didn't I say a few minutes ago... I went to the bathroom?" Stroh suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Blue Owl was slightly stunned.
"That's right. Just now I changed a puppet to put on a show in front of you, but you stupidly didn't notice."
As he spoke, Stro slowly tore off the human mask on his face, revealing another face, the face of a strange girl.
There was a hint of disbelief in Blue Owl's eyes, then he frowned and took a deep breath.
"Good for you……"
The girl who was parasitized by Stro said: "My real body is already heading towards your home. You should start praying. Pray that the people who stay in your home can stop us and prevent us from taking the vampire away."
"So, you deliberately kept me here acting for so long." Blue Owl whispered.
Stro shook his head: "We are the same. No one has the right to say anything about the other."
As she spoke, she manipulated the puppet controlled by the parasite to get up from the wheelchair, walked closer to Blue Owl, raised her hand, and gently touched his cheek.
Then, he leaned over, picked up the blue owl mask from the ground, and gently put it on his face.
"What a shame, I thought we were together." She stared into the eyes of the blue owl mask and whispered.
"That was just an illusion you had before you died." Blue Owl said expressionlessly, "You can't defeat my family, don't even think about it."
Hearing this, Stello leaned close to his ear and whispered, "But I can expose your identity and make you an executioner in front of your own family, a big liar who killed Ke Mingye and tried to take away his family."
"So what? The worst possible outcome for me is to leave this city and no longer live as Ke Mingye." Blue Owl paused, "And you... will die no matter what, and die completely."
"Who knows until the end..." Stro's face was expressionless. "But I'm just lucky. If your real body didn't have the blood clan oath mark left by your blood clan sister, I might really fall into your trap and die on this floor... I have to say that you are indeed more skilled, but God is on my side."
"Don't be too confident."
"No one has ever won against Flinks, he is the best."
"Let's wait and see," said the Blue Owl.
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you a piece of good news at the end." Stro said, "In fact, I went to that underground tavern not to control Che Zhengchen, but because the president of the Super Hero Association branch...'Li Qingyao', was about to meet Che Zhengchen at the time, so I also stuffed a parasite into Che Zhengchen's brain."
"and then?"
"Then..." Stro paused for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slowly, "I'll tell you in secret, Li Qingyao has a nuclear bomb in his hand."
Blue Owl's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked word by word: "Nuclear bomb?"
Stro stared at his face and said softly, "That's right. I have never used this trump card, just to prevent people around him from noticing anything unusual. He has worked diligently for decades, climbing up step by step, and his identity has no hidden dangers. I have to say that he really has the trust of the government and officials, otherwise how could he hold such power."
Blue Owl met her gaze and swallowed slightly.
"The nuclear bomb is probably about to be launched. Let your Crow father go to the rescue. He is the only one who may know where the nuclear bomb launch device is."
As he spoke, Stro turned his head to the side, looking at the city in the distance with an empty gaze.
"To be honest, I never thought of using this nuclear bomb... After all, if it is not handled properly, it may cause many casualties, but you forced me to do it..."
At this moment, her voice stopped abruptly, because a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows behind her and slashed at the back of Stro's neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
Then, Ke Xiaomo realized something was wrong, and then he frowned slightly, and used his internal energy to shock the girl's back, forcing the parasite out of her internal organs.
He extended a tiny shadow blade from the end of his finger and chopped up the parasite that came out of the girl's mouth.
Afterwards, he and Ke Mingye were the only ones still awake in the abandoned floor.
"are you OK?"
Ke Xiaomo took a deep breath, shifted his gaze away from the girl, and turned to look at the blue owl.
"I'm fine... but she's targeting our family." Blue Owl slowly raised his head and said intermittently, "Second brother... go back quickly."
"Our family?" Ke Xiaomo frowned.
"I don't know... maybe it's Yongzhu." Blue Owl shook his head.
"Yongzhu again?"
Ke Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, then quickly used the shadow blade on his fingers to cut the chains on the blue owl.
"Stop talking... just go!"
Blue Owl freed himself from the pillar, half-knelt on the ground, and spoke hoarsely.
"I understand. Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Xiaomo immediately disappeared into the shadow under his feet and disappeared on the floor.
As soon as he left, a pitch-black crow flew into the building at high speed, and turned into crow feathers that scattered all over the ground. Then, a pitch-black figure suddenly appeared among the scattered crow feathers.
"only you?"
Green Crow glanced at Blue Owl, who was wearing a broken mask on his face, and asked in a low voice.
"That player is among the vampire hunters! She used a parasite to control the Superhero Association's president, Li Qingyao. Go quickly... The president has the power to activate the nuclear bomb!"
After Blue Owl finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground exhausted and did not move again.
"Li Qingyao, nuclear bomb..."
Upon hearing this, the blue crow was startled for a moment, murmured in a low voice, and then quickly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a crow feather fluttering in the swirling cool breeze.
