"Yes, it's a bullsh * t armistice, because the Vampire Empire has existed for thousands of years. Many vampires have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. " Frank took out a cigar, lit it, and took a puff. Then, he explained the story of vampires to Li Jie and Peter.
"If vampires are not killed, they will not really die. Perhaps their power will decline as they get older, but they will still not die. After their power declines, they need to enter a dormant state to replenish their energy. When they wake up from dormancy, they will still be alive and kicking. "
"Because they have existed for too long, many vampire families have accumulated huge wealth. They have people in finance, arms, real estate, and even politics." Frank's words made Li Jie and Peter understand how influential the Vampire Empire was.
"Even in the Congress, there are probably vampires' minions! That's why the last war ended in vain. "Frank's expression was still poker, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. However, Frank's dissatisfaction could be heard from his words.
"Do you mean that the current U.S. government is controlled by a group of vampires?" Li Jie asked Frank. If that was the case, then just thinking about it made one shudder.
A group of hunters in charge of the government of the prey. It was as scary as letting a jackal be a sheepdog.
"The people in the Congress are not necessarily vampires. Some of them are just Hugles," Frank said to Li Jie.
"Hugles? What's that? " Peter was also very curious today. The true nature of this world was much more terrifying than he knew before.
"A group of people who worship vampires, and they work for vampires. They hope to be recognized by vampires, and then rely on a powerful vampire to turn themselves into a vampire. "Frank's explanation made Peter even more confused.
"Why? I mean, why would anyone want to be a vampire? If I'm not wrong, vampires can't see the sun and can only live in the dark in the future! "Peter really wondered if those people who wanted to become vampires were out of their minds.
"For longevity. Once people have power and wealth, they want to maintain their power and wealth forever. They want to live forever and be enslaved to those below them." Li Jie explained the thoughts of these people for Frank.
After gaining more power, there were many people who wanted to seek immortality. In China, there was Emperor Qin Shi Huang who wanted to seek immortality pills, and there were also emperors and ministers who favored Taoist priests in every dynasty, all for the sake of their dreams of ascending to immortality one day.
"Yes, just as Nightcrawler said. Frank said regretfully. Our war didn't go as planned.
"Then it seems like this thing is very important to the Vampires." Li Jie picked up the small box that they had been trading with.
An old sheepskin scroll lay quietly in the box. The sheepskin scroll looked like it had weathered through thousands of years of wind and frost.
The entire scroll still looked broken. Li Jie didn't dare to pick up the scroll, afraid that he would break it if he took it out.
"Yes, no matter what the vampires want, we have to stop them." Frank took the box from Li Jie's hand.
"What do we do now? Should we inform the government about what happened here? "Peter and Li Jie both had a headache. How were they going to clean up the mess here?
This involved the mysterious Hongshui Security Company, a group of people living in the underground society of the Vampire Empire, and thousands of people in the warehouse.
"If you don't want to expose your target, leave first. I will inform someone to solve the problem here." Frank threw away the cigar that he had finished smoking.
The end of the cigar hit the face of another vampire. Because it was tied up by the spider silk, it couldn't move. It could only endure the pain of the cigar burning on its face.
Li Jie suspected that Frank did it on purpose.
"What about these two vampires? And this lizard over here. " Peter pointed at the tied vampire and the chameleon that couldn't move because Li Jie had cut off its hands and broken its spine.
Reid's face was now pale. Due to the loss of blood, his wounds were no longer bleeding, but he had no strength left in his body.
"These two vampires, deal with them like this." Let's just get rid of them. "Frank looked at the remaining two vampires with slight disgust.
He took out a Mithril dagger and stabbed it into the tied vampire on the ground. Just like the vampire that had just been killed, this vampire also turned into ashes after the red light flashed.
As for the other vampire that fell to the ground, Frank used the dagger as a throwing knife and killed it with one stab.
"Kill them both. Don't we need them alive?" Li Jie asked as he looked at the two vampires that had turned into ashes. He still didn't know what these vampires wanted.
"Vampires have a strict hierarchy. The lower vampires will never reveal the secrets of the higher vampires. This is engraved in their genes, so don't try to get anything out of them. If you want to know something, the best way is to investigate it yourself." Frank picked up the Mithril dagger and explained to Li Jie.
Alright ~ Li Jie learned another characteristic of vampires. It seemed like he would just kill the vampires he met in the future. He wouldn't be able to get anything out of them anyway.
"Keep this lizard. I think someone will be very interested in him, especially the Hongshui Security Company behind him." Frank tidied up his outfit and began to urge Li Jie and Peter.
"You two leave here first. I will inform someone to deal with the matter here. If they see you two, it will be very troublesome." Frank urged the two to leave quickly.
"Hey ~ Boss, do you really not need us to help in the dark? What if the accomplices of these people come? And I think we should be able to hide without being discovered. "Peter was a little worried about leaving Frank here alone.
"My people are faster. Don't worry. And don't underestimate them. Even if you are good at hiding, you will still be found by those guys. "Under Frank's urging, Li Jie and Peter left immediately.
After making sure that Li Jie and Peter were far enough away, Frank picked up the phone and dialed a number that had not been called for a long time. After two rings, the phone was picked up.
"Frank?" A low voice said with slight doubt. "Nick Fury, I think we should talk," Frank said in a serious tone. "A new war is about to begin."
