âYou know what? This buildingâs external role is as a pet appliance company . â
Lucius found another random house to stay in temporarily and could see the building through the window .
âPetâŠutensils . â
Arthas was now standing behind Lucius, her tail behind her back, starting to wag, wondering what she was thinking about .
âAnd then I just went to scout out this company . â A few pictures appeared in Luciusâs hand, and he threw them on the table, âThe results were unexpected . â
ââŠâŠ . âArthas picked up the photos on the table and skimmed through a few of them .
âAr⊠do you have any thoughts on this?â Lucius leaned against the window, looking at Arthas .
âThe fish here⊠is delicious⊠the way it isâŠâ
âNot from that storage warehouse!â
âOohâŠthatâs a trap?â
âYes, itâs a trap . â Lucius nodded and took a look at the picture Arthas was holding .
âRightâŠâ and Arthas stretched out her paws and scratched at the photoâŠ
âNot that picture of the cat teasing stick! Wait, arenât you the Lich King? Why would the Lich King see a teasing stick as a trap?â
âI canât help it, want to touch itâŠâ Arthas blushed and lowered her head .
ââŠâŠ . . â
She was totally a cat, no⊠a mix of cat and dog? Lucius glanced at the wagging tail behind Arthas . On the outside, she looked like a noble and cold cat . Inside, her character, especially when facing Lucius, was similar to a loyal dog .
âLook at these pictures together as a whole . â\nLucius pointed at all the photos that Arthas held in her hands . Realizing that Lucius seemed to be a bit angry, Arthas saw through these photos carefullyâŠ
âItâs soâŠordinary . â
âCorrect . â Lucius looked at the photos spread out on the table, âFor a pet appliance company, this building is really too ordinary, a little too ordinary . Iâve scouted every corner of this company, Iâve even scouted the floor where I used to be there, but they donât exist . â
The only thing Lucius couldnât understand was at this point .
âInside this building is definitely the same building I just fell from! But no, that lab doesnât exist anywhere in this building, whether itâs the Black Watchâs troops or those zombie experimentsâŠeverything doesnât exist . â
Lucius suddenly had some idea why the New Federation had been able to keep the A-class ability developersâ program unknown for so long . That Hakein Mustaine guy probably already possessed a technology that was far beyond the level of this world .
âSo⊠where is it?â Arthas had been watching Lucius from a distance, so she witnessed Lucius fall through the window of that building . But now the broken window has been repaired .
âMaybe in another world, or another dimension . â
As a vampire, Lucius wasnât proficient in human technology . However, he still had a little bit of knowledge in this area .
âDonât underestimate human intelligence, especially Hakein Mustaine . This experimental base doesnât exist inside this building, but in the shadow of this building . â
Subspace? Lucius didnât understand all these troublesome technological theories, but it probably meant another small world . Had mankindâs technology advanced to this extent? Itâs terrifying .
âThatâsâŠimpossible for me . â
Arthas was a little lost, and her tail and jiggling ears that had been wagging went limp . Indeed, The Lich King had the power to control the dead, but she couldnât do anything about this spatial thing . There was nothing Lucius could do about it either, vampires werenât experts in spatial science .
Wait⊠. .
If it was something like warping space or shattering space, Lucius knew someone who seemed good at it . But thereâs no guarantee whether she was willing to help or not . And there was not much time to find her . Because nowâŠ
âAr⊠the guests have arrived . â Lucius sat by the window, looking at the door .
â!â Arthas stands guard in front of Lucius .
In the next moment, the door was suddenly blasted by a violent explosion . A large number of black soldiers with assault rifles in their hands barge into the room soon after . \nBlack WatchâŠ
Once again, these troops pointed their guns at him .
âGood evening, gentlemen . â
Lucius waved his hand, and Arthas reluctantly stood by Luciusâ side .
So their whereabouts had been discovered? Thereâs something fishy about the New Federation of Chinaâs excellent information tracking .
âWanted subject, youâre under arrest! Lucius!â
The New Federationâs A-rank Esper, Mordell, the overall commander of the entire Black Watch troops, even humbled himself by going to the frontline to specifically capture Lucius . No, it should be said that his target was Lucius . Since the last attack on the base, Lucius had been confirmed to be the one spreading the virus . Even as the source of infection . In other words, capturing Lucius would mean that the source of infection had been terminated! The main target of this unit was Lucius!
âWhat should I do if I get caught? Putting my hands up and surrender?â
The window behind Lucius was suddenly covered by shadows . There was no way to escape from anywhere . Another large amount of pitch-black shadows swept up onto Luciusâs legs, pinning Lucius firmly in place . There was no way to escape anymore!
His opponent had clearly suppressed all of Luciusâs abilities . If he turned into blood, the black figures were fully capable of devouring the blood . If they fought hard, Lucius would certainly die . A-rank EsperâŠLucius had no power to kill them yet .
The perimeter around the house was already surrounded by a large number of Black Watch soldiers . By now, they should have known about Arthasâ Scourge Legion as well .
They were surrounded by guns loaded with blessed bulletsâwhat a failure . What a problem⊠itâs very troublesomeâŠ
âThis is the end of that ugly smirk . The New Federation of China is not a fool that you can tease at will!â
Mordell did not have a weapon in his hand, the shadows spreading out from the soles of his feet were his weapons . As long as the shadows were obscured by the light, they were his main power .
âIâm not . â Lucius raised his hands in surrender . âIâm not making a fool of the New Federation of China . Or should I say, I wouldnât dare to make a fool of any humanâŠâ
ââŠâŠ . . â
Lucius always maintained that baffling smile on his face .
âVampire Kind, Lucius, wait for the President himself to crucify you . â\nâOh⊠that sounds scary . â Lucius couldnât help but scratch his head, âThen as a last wish, may I know when exactly I started being tracked? Or, when did you find out I was here?â
Dictatorial, thatâs how Mordell was . As the only unit directly under the new Federationâs president, Mordell didnât take orders from anyone .
âFrom the beginning . â He gestured to the soldiers in the rear, â37 was already dead twelve hours ago . We were notified of every soldierâs death . And you⊠In disguise, were smart enough to blend in from the start . â
The man was definitely lying, and Lucius had two pieces of evidence to show for it! If it were true, Lucius would have been caught long ago .
âGee, I thought you guys had spotted my little pet when she was out foraging for food . â Lucius glanced at Arthas next to him .
âStop the wordplay! No one can easily blend in my army . Not even the so-called intelligence vampire species!â
Mordell ordered the shadows beneath his feet to wrap around Lucius .
âIs that so? Really?â Luciusâs scarlet eyes stared straight at Mordell, âIs that really the case? Are you sure no one else in the army wasnât human like me? No, this army never had the so-called human consciousness in the first place . But Brigadier Mordell, I have one last question . â
âAre you sure thereâs no monster among your human troops?â
âStop bluffing!â
Mordell didnât seem to believe it . What a shame . Real shame .
Luciusâs scarlet eyes gazed at Mordell, his lips opened and closed, and he faintly spat out three words .
âDo it now . â
Not to Mordell . But rather to an ordinary-looking Black Watch soldier behind Mordell!
A sense of danger rose up within Mordell, but in the next second, a pair of claws that were not from a human suddenly pierced through Mordellâs chest .
âHe shouldâŠdieâŠâ Mordell looked at the soldier behind him and suddenly understood what Luciusâs words meant .
In the next second, Mordellâs body was torn apart by this clawâŠ
âOpen fire!â
The moment their commander was torn apart, the soldier in the room didnât panic . But instead firing at the soldier whose arms had turned into claws like a jet-black behemoth . But in the next second, with the soldierâs sweep of the claws . All the humans around him were dismembered . Bloods splattered everywhere across the room .
âHow does it feel to devour humans with the body of a monster?â Lucius dropped his raised hand and looked at him, âAlex Mercer!â
Red and dark black overlapping bloody flesh flickered . The Black Watch soldier turned into a man with a black hoody jacket and stood silent .
Virus prototype, Alex Mercer .
âI donât want to kill them . Iâm just trying to find Dana! But it doesnât seem to work that way . â Alex looked at Mordellâs body on the ground, which apparently wasnât the original, and disappeared into a dark shadow .
âI know where she is . â Lucius seemed to remember where Alexâs cherished sister was, âProbably in the same place as this Esper right now . â
Lucius pointed out the window to the building .
But a massive wave of black steel appeared above the building below and the street, and the Black Watchâs forces surrounded the building .
âThe target is in that building, prepare to open fire!â
The gun muzzles of the tanks and planes were aimed at Luciusâs floor, and the gun muzzles of a large number of human armies outside were also aimed at him . Now thatâs a big problem .
âWhat are you going to do, Alex?â Lucius looked at him .
âKillâŠthem all!â
Dark claws stained with blood wrapped around Alexâs arms .
âKill them all?â
That means Alex is on my side!
âSurprisingly, you agree, huh?â Blood surrounded Luciusâs arm .
The moon seemed to be stained by the blood as well .
âItâs going to be a long night, isnât it?â
