The Blade Gang, a lair transformed from an abandoned warehouse.
Lu Ping finished reading all kinds of information and listening to Yan Xuan's report, and didn't say anything for a long time.
"You mean, you think the murderer is not some wandering perverted murderer, but a monster?" Lupine looked strange, "A monster from hell?"
"Yes." The fair young man smiled bitterly and nodded, "You must have heard of the legends of urban monsters, just like the legends of extraordinary heroes... Although it is rare for ordinary people to see them, many people firmly believe in them! Groundless rumors may not necessarily be true. There is no reason. If this incident was not caused by monsters, I really can’t think of any other explanation.”
Lupine nodded.
Indeed, the legend of monsters is widely circulated in the Lower Ten Districts.
It can be said that the reason why many poor people have a numb mentality of living day by day is not only the lack of due rewards for hard work, rampant illegal crimes and no one to control them, but also the legendary "monster"!
Some people claimed to have seen some strange afterimages flashing past high-rise buildings in the distance, but unfortunately they were not photographed.
Some people say that their friend died mysteriously and could not find any scientific explanation, and finally let it go.
Many similar statements can be found on the virtual Internet. People rub goosebumps and talk about "monsters from hell" just like ghost stories, while believing it deeply.
Since you don’t know what day you might be eaten by a monster, why should you work diligently to save money, marry a wife and have children? It’s better to spend the money when you have it and live one day at a time.
"I checked a lot of information and finally guessed that this monster might be the legendary 'vampire'." Yan Xuan whispered.
"Vampire?" Lu Ping was stunned.
"Yes, the deceased were all young and beautiful girls, and they were all virgins. The rules of death were all drained of blood from all over their bodies... All of this is consistent with the legendary vampires. And the most important thing is that they all have a Cash with a bat pattern on the upper right corner! And bats have always been one of the iconic images of vampires.”
Seeing that Lu Ping was in a daze, Yan Xuan sent some information to Lu Ping's bracelet.
But in fact, Lu Ping knew what Yan Xuan said without reading... He was stunned just because as a person who grew up in an atheistic environment, he suddenly came into contact with legendary extraordinary creatures like vampires in reality. A very strange feeling!
But in this world, there are even nine-tailed foxes, gluttons, Behemoths, hellhounds... extraordinary creatures that you will have to face sooner or later.
Lu Ping suppressed his emotions, looked at Yan Xuan and asked, "Have you called the police?"
Yan Xuan was stunned: "Shall we... call the police?"
"Yeah, otherwise, could it be that a troublesome guy who might be a monster from hell has come to the Blade Gang's territory, and we have to fight it to the death?" Lupine shrugged, "In the end, the gang is not an official, this is Dreamweaver City should naturally be dealt with by the police."
"Of course, in order to make those lazy guys willing to move their butts, we can pay an expedited police fee for a few poor victim girls... If the trouble can be solved with money, it is not a big trouble."
Yan Xuan quickly understood what Lu Ping meant and gave a thumbs up.
Soon, a gang member was called over.
He was the person who discovered the mummified body of one of the girl victims.
Under Yan Xuan's instructions, the minion dialed the number of the Dreamweaver City police. The female operator's plain voice came from the other side: "Beicheng Police Department, what's the matter?"
"Well, I want to report a crime. One of my friends was killed. Her ID is...the address is..."
"I know, the case has been registered, just wait." The other party quickly said coldly.
"Wait a minute, I'm willing to pay an expedited fee! This friend is very important to me, and I'm willing to pay an expedited fee of 50,000 universal points! Then I'll pay a thank you fee of 50,000 universal points afterwards!" the minion shouted quickly.
"I'll send you the payment account number." The other party's voice suddenly became softer. "You can describe the case. How did she die?"
Yan Xuan nodded to the minion.
The little guy then opened his mouth and said: "Well, officer, it's like this. When my friend was found, she was already a mummy, and all the blood was gone... Actually, she is not the only victim. We are here." There have been several similar tragedies in this neighborhood in the past two days... I think if the case can be solved, other family members might also give you a thank you fee..."
"What did you say?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became harsh. "The blood was sucked out? People turned into mummies? And similar situations are not the same?"
The little guy murmured: "Yes, yes..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The female operator's voice suddenly became stern, "Do you know if you are making a rumor and reporting it to the police, I can arrest you directly!"
"How could such a thing happen in reality? You must have read it wrong. Stop spreading rumors immediately and don't make this phone call to report the crime again, otherwise... you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Beep...beep..."
The other party hung up the phone directly.
The minions were dumbfounded, while Lu Ping and Yan Xuan... looked at each other.
"You should go back first. Just pretend you don't know about this matter." Yan Xuan waved his hand and sent the young man away.
And Lu Ping's expression became even more solemn. Is this something that even the Dreamweaver City police are unwilling to intervene in...
"Some time ago, nothing similar happened on our territory," he gently rubbed his temples. "Then this 'vampire' probably wandered into our neighborhood from the territory of other gangs... This is also true. It means that he might leave in two days."
"The gang leader means..." Yan Xuan blinked.
"Let's ignore it for now." Lu Ping sighed, "The police don't care, and there is no need for us to cause trouble for ourselves... Let the gang patrol the streets more in the past few days, and teach the ordinary criminal gangsters a lesson... …I hope the other party can feel some pressure and leave voluntarily.”
"That's the only way." Yan Xuan nodded and quickly arranged it on the electronic bracelet.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, quickly stood up and left.
He plans to go see Dr. Ge... The other person is at least a citizen of the foggy area. I wonder if he will know more about these secret things?
Soon, the underground clinic laboratory.
"Vampire?" The old man in the white coat scratched his head, "No, no, I think it's not a vampire, but an 'immortal'..."
"Immortal?" Lu Ping raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he heard this title. He and Ge Xulu had talked about a lot of things in the past few days, but they never mentioned it.
"Yes, it is said that they are a group of human beings who have received the gift of the God Lord and have a trace of the God Lord's power." Dr. Ge nodded, "The tickets for the gift ceremony are very expensive. Even in the foggy area, there are only a few prominent figures. To have the opportunity to receive a gift is something that is out of reach for a researcher like me.”
