"Although they are far away from me, I have also heard that the 'immortals' all claim to be a higher race than humans. Both their lifespan and physical fitness are far superior to ordinary people. If you have to compare... maybe Only those who have become extraordinary through mechanical or genetic modification can barely compare."
"But there is a difference... Transcendents will still die, but the 'undead' will not die!"
"Won't die? Tell me everything you know about the undead. Don't let go of any details." Lu Ping frowned.
Even if you don’t want to provoke it.
But having such a terrifying existence wandering around in his own territory is unsettling enough.
"Yes." Dr. Ge nodded respectfully, "It starts with the God Lord... As you know, every city now has at least one God Lord. They are creatures from hell."
"It's said to be hell, but in fact that's just a name given by us humans. In fact, it's an alien world that we don't know and can't imagine..."
"People only know that the creatures that came from that world and came to the earth are very similar to the powerful beings in the myths and legends of various countries. There are gods, mythical beasts, or demons and ghosts... Although human science and technology was very advanced at that time, but It has no effect on them.”
"It's not that they can't be defeated, it's that they have no effect! Strong ships, cannons, lasers, and even nuclear bombs can't hurt the God Lords...On the contrary, their magical powers can easily kill thousands of people one by one."
"No one can explain why this is so. In despair, many people even attribute this to a kind of 'consequentialism', which means that those hell creatures are 'immortal' from a causal level!"
"Of course that is just a conjecture, but in reality, there are indeed people who can spend a huge price in exchange for a chance to receive the God Lord's gift... Once successful, they can get a trace of the God Lord's power, and thus gain the ability to become almost immortal."
When Dr. Ge said this, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.
"Immortality?" Lu Ping frowned, "What kind of immortality? Long lifespan or inability to be killed?"
"They are all." Dr. Ge looked serious, "There are immortals in Jinrui Company. They are said to be over a hundred years old, but their appearance is still the same as that of young people, and they will hardly age... At the same time, the immortals are also extremely powerful. The body's resilience is so strong that it is said that limbs can grow back on their own if they are cut off."
"But there's no need to worry, Gang Leader. The undead I'm talking about are all big figures in the Mist District, and they won't easily come to places like the Lower Ten Districts... I think the so-called vampire you mentioned is a gift. The product of a failed ritual!”
"The product of failure?"
"Yes, the gift ceremony is not 100% successful. If it succeeds, you can be almost immortal. But if it fails, the price will be huge... It is said that you will completely lose your previous memories, your temperament will change drastically, and your body will also have terrible symptoms. the sequelae.”
"Bloodthirst is one of the most common sequelae."
"Those who can accept transformation are the rich and powerful. Those who succeed will naturally enjoy eternal life and wealth in high places. Only those who fail in transformation will wander around in places like the Lower Ten District... From your description, and the fact that the victims all lost all their blood, I think it was a failure of the gift ceremony who wandered into the territory of the Blade Gang."
"It's not a vampire, but an undead whose gifting ceremony failed..." Lu Ping thought thoughtfully, "You haven't said yet, what are their abilities?"
"It's hard to say this. After all, the gift ceremony is to obtain a bit of power from the God Lord. Different God Lords have completely different power characteristics. But one thing should be certain, and that is the body's extremely strong regeneration ability. Even for losers, For ordinary people like us, it is almost impossible to kill.”
Lu Ping thought of the surveillance video he saw at Yan Xuan's place.
By calling the surveillance cameras near the crime scene, we did capture some suspicious images, but because the speed was too fast, we could only see a tall, blurry figure...
Combined with Dr. Ge's description, an image gradually became concrete in Lu Ping's mind.
A tall man, who moves very fast and has a strong recovery power. He specializes in preying on young and beautiful women. His hobby is to suck human blood...
"It's come full circle... isn't this a vampire?" Lu Ping rolled his eyes inwardly.

Knowing the other party's details was just for insurance, but Lu Ping still didn't want to provoke this guy.
After the Blade Gang strengthened street patrols, there was no news of any girls being killed in the next three days... This made both Lu Ping and Yan Xuan slightly relieved.
Maybe, this guy has wandered to other places...
But that day, Lu Ping was resting in the Liaoyuan Food Store again, and while he was creating a reconfiguration using the Andean Condor, his eyes suddenly froze and he stared at the cash box inside the counter.
The top piece of cash... has a small bat pattern in the upper right corner.
"Where did this money come from?" Lu Ping stood up suddenly!
Emma, who was playing with the little husky's ears, was startled. Looking at the solemn look on "Jin Donghao's" face, she couldn't help but stutter a little: "Ah, it's the morning. A customer came to buy a few bottles of drinks in the morning and paid with cash. The account...did I receive counterfeit money?"
The blond girl quickly picked up the piece of cash and looked at it under the light.
Unexpectedly, "Jin Donghao" snatched it away and crushed it into a ball of paper in his hand!
"I tried my best to avoid provoking you, but in the end, you still came to provoke me." Lu Ping's face was very ugly.
Because every girl who was killed had such a piece of cash with a bat pattern on her body, this thing can be said to be a "death notice."
Seeing that Emma actually received a death notice, Lupine was a little unable to calm down, and even more angry!
"When did he come?" Lu Ping directly called the store's surveillance camera.
Combining Emma's memories, he soon found a tall and handsome man with European and American looks. The man had short light blond hair and dark blue eyes, which was somewhat similar to Emma's.
"What's wrong..." The little girl was a little frightened and muttered.
"There's no time to explain, just listen to me," Lu Ping glanced at the electronic bracelet. According to convention, the other party usually appears again about half a day after the death notice is sent, but now, the time is almost... Lu Ping directly There was a whisper, and finally... something was directly pressed into Emma's hand.
Emma looked down and was startled.
A pistol!
