Demon!

The people inside GOC exchanged glances.

What suggestion?

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you know about mithril?"

Mithril?

What is it?

Several high-ranking members of GOC had never heard of mithril.

One of the directors, however, suddenly realized after a moment of thought, "Ah, mithril, I remember now, that's... a metal ore from fantasy films and television shows."

The person who answered the phone frowned. "What happened to Mithril?"

Qin Leng's voice came through the phone again.

"008 can manipulate the flow of blood within a certain range because his body has a pheromone that can release a biomagnetic field to exert bioelectric control over the human body."

"This can cause blood to flow backward or cause varicose veins to burst."

"Mithril has a special magnetic field interference. As long as you wear a mithril pendant, 008's biomagnetic field will be destroyed."

"This can effectively prevent you from being killed by 008 on sight."

A GOC council member blinked. "Leaving aside how he knew that, where are we supposed to find mithril?"

"Is he playing a joke on us, something from our imagination, something that doesn't exist in reality?"

Seeing that no one believed him, Qin Leng chuckled on the other end of the phone, "I've already sent someone to deliver a piece of mithril to you."

"I think he should have arrived by now."

Knock knock knock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the meeting room.

"Enter."

A woman walked into the conference room. "A man came in from outside. He claimed to be a B-level member of Nine-Tailed Fox. He said he had something to hand over to several directors."

The board members exchanged glances. "Let him in."

Not long after.

A soldier in a dark blue combat uniform walked into the conference room carrying a briefcase. He first saluted the GOC council members and then placed the briefcase on the table.

Enter the password to open the box, inside which is a piece of metal that resembles a crystal.

The metal is entirely silvery-white, lustrous, and has a distinctive odor.

"This is mithril?"

One person stepped forward to examine it closely, and then Qin Leng's voice came through the phone again.

"If you doubt its authenticity, you can take it to 008 again and see if you will be instantly killed by 008 again."

"However, I suggest you don't do that. So far, we Nine-Tailed Fox only have three pieces of this mithril."

"Furthermore, any handling of mithril must be carried out under layers of protection."

"Mithril itself contains a toxin. Short-term exposure to this toxin will not cause any problems, but long-term exposure will cause skin ulceration and bodily dysfunction."

"Moreover, this toxin cannot be effectively isolated. Even if you cut it into countless pieces, process it into handicrafts, and wear it on your body through your clothes, the toxin in mithril will still corrode your body as usual."

One of the council members looked at the mithril in the box. "More than these things, we want to know where you obtained the mithril?"

On the other end.

Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox above ground base.

Qin Leng held the phone and looked to the side, black energy surging on one of his arms.

The black energy substance enveloped his right arm, and he reached out and clenched his fist as if exerting force.

A moment later, a piece of mithril appeared in his hand.

Setting the mithril aside, Qin Leng came up with a plausible excuse.

"This is a byproduct of 009's split."

When in doubt, 009 is a perfectly reasonable excuse.

But in reality, there are only a few of the Nine-Tailed Fox's split offspring related to 009 left.

Of the few remaining Containment Object, there is no mithril, nor any fragments capable of producing mithril.

The appearance of mithril was purely accidental.

After Qin Leng gained his ability, he spent some time exploring it and concluded that he had two abilities in total.

Otherworld Gaze and the Demon Hand.

These two abilities can be called Sub-attribute, and neither is complex.

"Otherworld Gaze" refers to one of Qin Leng's eyes; his left eye is completely black, without a trace of white.

Within its pitch-black pupils was a blood-red, vertical heart-shaped pattern, almost resembling that of a dragon.

However, the pattern is not obvious and only appears when he activates his ability.

This eye allows him to see a wondrous world, like some era of cold weapons, filled with magical monsters and vampires, just like in fantasy movies and TV shows.

This is his first ability: to see.

His second ability is to catch.

Qin Leng's Demon Hand can steal items from that world. How much he can take at once is related to the weight his demonic arm can lift.

During his previous observation, Qin Leng saw that vampires also existed in another world.

The people there use a mineral called mithril to make weapons and amulets to fight vampires.

He learned how to deal with vampires from the people of that world, listening to the teachings of an old vampire hunter from the perspective of a vampire hunter apprentice.

Then, from the perspective of a miner, he stole four pieces of mithril.

But that's not enough.

Qin Leng's perspective pierced through the mist, and the old hunter's figure reappeared before his eyes.

"Vampires have three weaknesses: sunlight, mithril, and fire."

"Sunlight can burn, flames can ignite, but those Blood Clan are unusually cold; they cannot enjoy the warmth of light and fire."

"But high-ranking and even mid-ranking Blood Clan generally don't make such basic mistakes."

"They won't expose themselves to the sunlight, nor will they give you the opportunity to set them on fire with a torch."

"At this point, we will need to use mithril."

"The mithril pendant can prevent your blood from being sucked by vampires, for whom mithril is a deadly poison."

"Once vampires come into contact with mithril, their regenerative abilities will be greatly reduced, and the parts attacked by mithril weapons will be very difficult to heal."

"If you can pierce a vampire's heart and brain with mithril, disrupting the vampire's blood circulation, that would theoretically be enough to kill all the superior species."

"What if we encounter a True Ancestor?"

The old hunter in front of him was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. "Encountering a True Ancestor, although under normal circumstances you would not encounter a True Ancestor."

"But if you encounter this, I have a suggestion for you: either run away or kneel down and offer yourself up to become Blood Clan."

"Why?"

"Child, you are still too young. An excellent vampire hunter usually has vampire blood."

"Among vampires, those with the strongest bloodline are none other than princes below the True Ancestor."

"Human beings are limited. If one can truly live as a prince and obtain eternal life, it is not impossible to give up one's human identity."

"Remember, no matter what the circumstances, staying alive is the most important thing."
