"Are you really short on manpower to this extent?"
While following Walter and Intercola to the reception room, Fangzheng asked in surprise. In his impression, a secret organization like Hellsing should be very particular about confidentiality. In Fangzheng's opinion, those who could join Hellsing, other than 'strange people' like himself, should have passed the strict political review and guaranteed their loyalty to the country. But now … Why the hell did they hire a group of mercenaries?
Anyway, Fangzheng asked himself honestly. It was impossible for him to hand over the Tendo Temple to a group of people who didn't care about anything other than money to protect.
"Currently, we are indeed short on manpower, but these people aren't ordinary mercenaries either."
Walter replied with a smile as he walked in front of Fangzheng.
"They are professional mercenaries. As long as they sign the contract and pay the money, they will never betray us."
"… Forget it, as long as you guys are happy."
Fangzheng thought for a moment and felt that he didn't have the right to say anything. After all, he was also a 'mercenary', and from his standpoint, there wasn't much difference between him and the others. Since Intercola and Walter didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, then he naturally didn't need to waste his breath.
Soon, under Walter's lead, the group of people arrived at the corridor on the first floor. At this moment, they heard noises coming from the half-opened door not far away.
"Captain Bernadotte, what exactly is going on?"
"Will war start in London? Since when did we become the guards of the rich? Which rich person wants to set up a private army or something? "
"No, no, no …"
In the midst of these noises, a somewhat lazy voice sounded.
"Although I don't know what's going on, but our job seems to be to eliminate monsters."
"Eliminate monsters?"
Hearing this answer, the other mercenaries seemed to be quite surprised.
"What era is this? Who still believes in this?"
"Hahaha, Captain, have you gone crazy? You believe in this kind of nonsense? "
"It's true."
While the mercenaries in the reception room were making a ruckus, the group arrived at the door. Then, Fangzheng saw Intekula push open the door and walk in with large strides. She then looked at the mercenaries in front of her with a cold smile.
"Your enemies are immortal vampires. Throw garlic and holy water at them, nail their hearts with white stakes, cut off their heads, burn their bodies into ashes and scatter them at the crossroads. That's our job. Please refer to the fairy tale book for details."
"…"
Hearing Intercola's words, the mercenaries in the reception room were stunned. Fangzheng's mouth twitched as well.
Not to mention other things, this young miss's ability to kill a conversation was really high.
"This is ridiculous!"
Soon, the mercenaries also reacted.
"Vampires don't exist in this world …"
"It's just that you don't know."
Indracula sneered and interrupted their conversation.
"No, to be exact, I don't want you to know. A hundred years ago, our Wang Liguo Knight Order, 'Hellsing', has been operating in secret for a long time with the goal of fighting vampires. If you don't want to believe it, then I'll let you see it with your own eyes! "
Saying until here, Indracula suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the corner.
"… That's your enemy, the vampire!!"
Did Indracula bring Akkad out to scare people?
Hearing Indracula's words, Fangzheng was startled. He hurriedly turned his head and looked at the direction Indracula pointed at. Then, Fangzheng saw a uniformed figure standing in the corner of the reception room with an awkward smile … Sareth …
"…"
Young miss, did you eat the wrong medicine?
Seeing Sareth standing in the corner, leaning against the wall and laughing, Fangzheng couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh. Even if you find a ghoul, it's still better than this silly, sweet, and adorable policewoman!
"Vampire?"
The mercenaries seemed to have the same thought as Fangzheng. Among the mercenaries, the mercenary leader with a cowboy hat and long braided hair stood up in astonishment, walked up to Sareth, and carefully sized her up. Facing the mercenary leader's probing, Sareth displayed a cautious smile and greeted him.
"H-Hello …"
"Young miss, are you a vampire?"
"This …"
It was apparent that Sareth was conflicted about the answer to this question. In the end, she nodded her head.
"This … is something like that."
"… Hahahaha!"
As soon as Sareth's voice sounded, the mercenaries burst into laughter. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders. This was also normal. After all, a girl like Sareth who looked like a brainless, big-breasted girl didn't seem like the ferocious vampires in all kinds of movies and legends.
"Sir Indracula … As expected, I was mocked by them …"
Upon hearing the mercenaries' mocking laughter, Sareth blushed. This is just like playing a game of shame!
"Let's show them the evidence then."
Compared to Sareth who felt as though she was being publicly executed, Indracula remained calm. Of course, Fangzheng suspected that this was because she wasn't the one making a fool out of herself.
"Okay, okay …"
Upon hearing Indracula's request, Sareth let out a dry laugh. Then, she snapped her fingers at the mercenary in front of her.
"After you!"
"… Hahahaha!"
Looking at the adorable policewoman before him, the mercenary burst into laughter. Then, he spread his arms wide and pounced on Sareth.
"If you're a vampire, young miss, then I'm Frankenstein!"
Although the mercenary captain's actions seemed very casual, Fangzheng could tell that his actions had already sealed off all possible escape routes for Sareth from top to bottom. In other words, if this adorable policewoman was an ordinary human, perhaps she would have been hugged in the mercenary leader's arms and wouldn't have been able to escape at all.
But it was a pity that Sareth wasn't human.
Facing the mercenary leader's pouncing attack, Sareth dodged abruptly, extended her arm, and flicked her finger on the mercenary leader's forehead. At the next moment, the mercenary leader was flung backward. Before the mercenary leader reacted, Sareth flicked her finger twice more on his forehead. Along with a blood-curdling scream, the unlucky mercenary leader spun and fell to the ground. His forehead was also bleeding profusely.
"Leader!"
Looking at this scene, the other mercenaries turned pale with fright. They hurried to their leader's side and helped him up.
"Is this guy a monster?"
At this moment, the mercenary leader no longer looked at Sareth with contempt. Instead, his eyes were filled with an indescribable fear.
"I couldn't see her movements at all and couldn't sense her aura. She only flicked her finger and I felt like my head was about to split open! Is this guy … really a vampire? "
"That's right."
And at that moment, another figure sounded. Shortly after, Akkad crawled out of the wall. Upon witnessing his appearance, the mercenaries trembled in fear … No matter if it was Akkad's appearance or his appearance, he was obviously more intimidating than that stupid policewoman with big breasts and no brains.
"Even though she's only the lowest of the lowest among the vampires, she's a genuine vampire."
Akkad said and swept a glance at them. Then, he let out a sneer.
"What a bunch of cowards. Can this group of people be of any use?"
Upon hearing Akkad's complaint, Indracula swept a glance at him. Walter, who was beside him, hurried over.
"I'm sorry, Miss. I stopped him …"
"These are the people who are supposed to protect my nest."
Akkad stared coldly at the mercenaries in front of him.
"That's why I wanted to see what kind of guys they are … What do you think? Fangzheng? "
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Akkad's question, Fangzheng had no choice but to step forward. He narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up this group of mercenaries.
"Not bad, but the problem is that when fighting a monster, it's useless to rely on skills and weapons."
"Oh?"
The corner of Akkad's mouth curled up slightly. He turned around and looked at Fangzheng.
"So?"
"Miss Indracula."
Fangzheng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he first looked at Indracula.
"If you don't mind, I would like to test this group of mercenaries. Is that okay?"
"This …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Indracula pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Of course, no problem. But what do you want to test them on?"
"Willpower."
Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly. Then, he stretched out a finger.
"When humans face monsters, the most important thing isn't skills, strength, or weapons. Instead, it's willpower. They instinctively feel that the opponent is a monster that they can't defeat, so their body will give up the battle and choose to escape. For now, their strength and skills aren't within the scope of my test. But I want to see how strong their willpower is. To what extent can they go against those monsters? "
"Oh?"
Hearing until here, Indracula raised her eyebrows with interest. Of course, she understood that what Fangzheng said made sense. But the problem was that willpower was something that was difficult to judge. Although it was said that extreme sports or super training could temper a person's will, it was just as Fangzheng said. It was still unknown if such a tempering could surpass the instinctive fear and fear humans had towards the unknown and powerful existences.
But, does Fangzheng have a way to judge this? Thinking until here, Indracula nodded quickly.
