R Batman Incident (I)

Blade looked up at the terrifying monster in mid-air, slowly took two steps back, swallowed hard, and then pulled out his phone to say into the other end of the line, "They're planning to declare war on humanity!"

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.., Nick Fury strode down the corridor, agent following behind. With each rapid footstep, office lights flickered on. Holding the phone, Nick spoke quickly, "Jack! Get the Queens deployment map right now! Fiona, contact the Vampire Hunter in New York and ask them what's going on."

Nick turned a corner, and the agent assigned to the mission left the group and headed towards their offices, while the rest followed behind Nick. Nick then asked, "Who's in charge of liaising with the Daywalker?"

"Coulson, boss, it's always been Coulson."

"Transfer this part of the work to Sharon, and have Coulson immediately liaise with Stark. If the vampires really declare war on humanity, we must organize the strongest resistance force as quickly as possible."

Natasha emerged from one of the offices and walked quickly alongside Nick. The female agent said, "The intelligence provided by the Daywalker has been confirmed to be accurate. The monster is currently over Queens..."

"The Daywalker has shown a strong willingness to cooperate. Should we invite him here?"

"Let him go to the underground of Zone 2. For so many years, he has been unwilling to cooperate with us. Now that he has changed his attitude, this must be a big deal."

"I'll make the arrangements right now," Natasha said. "There's another issue. The captain has already gone to the battlefield and made initial preparations against the monster, but the follow-up combat plan still needs to be arranged."

"Get the combat team ready to move out immediately. No matter what the vampire is doing, we have to deal with that monster first."

Natasha took out her phone and said into the other end, "Clint, how are you and Daisy's preparations going? The helicopter will depart in 20 minutes. Report back immediately once it reaches its destination!"

Nick assigned tasks as he walked, until he arrived at his office, where Coulson was already waiting. Coulson said, "I have contacted all available combat forces."

Before he could continue, Hill walked in and said, "The vampires are indeed making unusual moves, Director. I've reviewed their activity range over the past six months, and the entire East Coast vampire community is intentionally heading towards New York..."

As Nick's most capable assistant, Hill spoke frankly. She strode to the screen, turned on the projector, and introduced, "About a week ago, a shootout broke out between vampires and police at the border of Queens and Brooklyn District. The vampire group involved had only arrived in New York a month ago."

"In addition, none of the 15 recorded vampire attacks this month were perpetrated by local New York vampires."

"Who is in charge of monitoring the movements of this group?" Coulson asked.

"Now is not the time to assign blame," Nick said. "S.H.I.E.L.D..'s laissez-faire attitude toward vampires is not without reason. If possible, I would like to drag them all out into the sunlight, but we all know that's impossible."

"But this time it's different," Coulson said. "Our premise for letting the vampires run rampant is that they remain scattered and only launch individual attacks at most. But if they really decide to declare war on humanity on all fronts, then we will definitely retaliate fiercely!"

Just then, Nick's phone rang. He picked it up and said, "The Daywalker has arrived? Okay, don't make any rash moves. Calm him down first, I'll be right there..."

Then he said to Coulson, "You keep an eye on Stark... never mind, Hill, you go. Go to Stark Tower and make contact with Pepper first. Phil, you go to the psychiatric clinic in Hell's Kitchen."

"Schiller is unlikely to be willing to take action; he has always claimed that he has no special abilities."

"I don't want him to go out and fight vampires directly, Coulson. Haven't you realized that we recruited him not for his special abilities, but for his brains?"

"You don't need to do anything. Just stay there and wait for my instructions. If the situation changes, I will tell you how to negotiate with him."

After Coulson left, Nick quickly activated the elevator and headed to Area 2 to meet Blade.

After he left, the lights inside S.H.I.E.L.D.. quickly came on, and countless agent who had received orders began to operate. This massive agent agency was running at full capacity in just a few tens of minutes.

Despite the threat of foreign invasion, S.H.I.E.L.D.., with its unconventional talent management system, remains united. After all, regardless of which faction they belong to, they must resist should the vampires truly go to war with humanity.

In a dimly lit underground meeting room, Blade Erik heard footsteps approaching. When Nick opened the door, Erik stepped forward and shook his hand. Nick said, "Time is of the essence, so let's get straight to the point. First of all, we're not here to interrogate you, but..."

Erik said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll tell you everything I know right now."

"Listen, that giant bat monster is no ordinary creature. You should know that vampires can transform into bats, and this ability is not without reason."

"I won't go into the occult knowledge related to the origins of vampires, but there are also disputes within the vampire community. There has always been debate within this race about their origin story..."

"Just as you humans say, some people believe that vampires originated in the Bible and are God's creation."

"But there is another group of people, whom I call bat believers, who firmly believe that deep in the universe there is a Bat Totem, and it is this Bat Totem that gave vampires the power to transform into bats and drink blood."

"The God Worshippers and the Bat Followers have been locked in a bitter feud. Of course, the God Worshippers have always been closer to humans, and most of those who have contact with you human leaders are moderate God Worshippers."

"They believe that humans and vampires are both creations of God, and that we should be brothers and sisters. They have always been the restrained faction among vampires, with many different rules. They do not advocate killing, are willing to accept frozen blood, and prefer to live in seclusion among humans and participate in human society."

"We have records of all these people," Nick said. "Some moderate vampires even come to us to register. Many of these vampires work in hospitals or blood banks. This is why humans are reluctant to carry out a large-scale extermination of vampires. Some of them are too closely connected to human society, and if not handled properly, it could lead to color panic..."

"That's right, but there are moderates and radicals. There has always been an extremely radical faction within the vampire community, which is what I'm talking about, the faction that worships the Bat Totem."

"They believe that believers in Bat Totem should be superior to ordinary humans by nature, and that as part of the Bat God, they should be born to rule over mankind."

"I've heard about it." Nick walked to the table and sat down. He poured himself a glass of water and said, "I know that vampires have been trying to infiltrate human society. Can you tell me more about the Bat Totem? I'm guessing that this bat monster must be related to that totem, right?"

Blade Erik crossed his arms and said, "You should know my background. I'm not exactly a full-fledged vampire. All the information I have comes from my Vampire Hunter teacher. But I also have a few good friends who are gentle vampires, and they bring me the latest news from within their clan..."

"One of my friends, who works for the famous Count Dracula, recently informed me that the radical faction, led by my enemy Deacon, is about to make a move."

"They seem to have received a prophecy through some kind of ritual that the power of the Bat God will descend upon the New York area, and whoever obtains this power will become the new vampire leader."

"You know, everyone initially thought this was a fabricated story they made up to fight for power; this kind of thing happens all the time..."

"Of course, of course, concocting a seemingly plausible prophecy and then organizing some minor actions is enough to put pressure on the opponent."

"But now it seems things aren't so simple." Erik also went over and sat down. He and Nick sat at opposite ends of the table, with only a light bulb flickering above them.

He said, "In fact, this prophecy is not entirely a lie. According to my investigation, they do have a ritual that can summon a Shade that looks like a bat. This Shade can greatly enhance vampires, but the price is that it will turn them into berserk bat monsters."

"It was through this ritual that they heard a voice telling them to go to New York. I am trying to find out the specifics of the prophecy, but I haven't found anything yet. However, I do know that the terrifying bat monster in the sky right now is probably the power of the so-called Bat God descending."

"Okay, I've figured out the backstory. Now the question is, how do we deal with him?"

Nick took out a projector and showed it to Erik. On the projector, Steve was chasing a bat monster.

Nick said, "It's daytime now, this bat isn't afraid of the sun, and it seems Superhuman Strength with some special abilities. More importantly, it seems to know a lot of tactics and should have intelligence no less than that of humans."

"I suggest you don't use the methods for dealing with ordinary vampires to deal with him. If he is truly the creation of the Bat God, then he certainly doesn't have the weaknesses of vampires. You'd better treat him as a large-scale monster."

"And more importantly..." Erik said with a frown, "This is a signal, a signal that they want to wage a full-scale war against humanity. They want to welcome the arrival of the Bat Totem and then rule the world. Perhaps you can deal with this monster, but you must be prepared for the upcoming large-scale vampire attack."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I will now contact all the Vampire Hunter I know, as well as the moderate vampires who are unwilling to participate in the invasion. We will try our best to form a front. At least for now, we stand with you and let those crazed bat monsters go to hell!"

Nick stood up as well, and the two shook hands. Nick said, "The destruction of human society is not good for anyone. You can use this to persuade them. If they still want to have a prosperous society to live in, then it's best not to let those Beast invade."

Erik nodded, his two black hands clasped together, signaling the official start of the bat invasion.
