Vampires Appear

Irish Bar.

It was located on a street in the eastern part of town.

Both sides of the street were lined with all kinds of neon signs.

Scantily clad women sat beneath the neon lights, waiting for customers to come by.

Every so often, someone would ask about the price, then pull one of the women into a room in the back.

As Xu Mo walked, he surveyed the sights on both sides with great interest.

"What, are you interested?"

Seeing him looking around, Hill teased him.

"Would S.H.I.E.L.D. reimburse me if I were?"

For a moment, Hill had no response.

Still, she knew they were only joking. How could a billionaire worth hundreds of billions possibly be interested in such ordinary fare?

Soon, the two arrived outside the Irish Bar.

The bar looked somewhat run-down from the outside, but it was a different world within.

The entire bar was underground.

Once inside, they found quite a few people there.

"What do we do next?"

In the enormous bar, more than a hundred people moved about everywhere. Combined with the dim lighting, there was no way to distinguish vampires from ordinary people.

"Uh..."

Hearing Xu Mo's question, Hill was momentarily at a loss for words.

They couldn't exactly go up and question them one by one!

Seeing her expression, Xu Mo sighed.

"Forget it. I'll handle it!"

As he spoke, Xu Mo slipped his hand into his pocket. When he pulled it back out, a spherical object had appeared in his hand.

It was the Ultraviolet Grenade from the case earlier.

Without hesitation, he pressed the button on the grenade and hurled it high into the center of the bar.

"Close your eyes!"

After shouting that warning to Hill, Xu Mo turned around, putting his back to the grenade.

Hill's expression changed when she saw what Xu Mo was doing.

In such a dim environment, let alone vampires, even ordinary people would likely go blind for half a month if hit by that.

"Wait!"

But by the time she spoke, Xu Mo had already thrown the grenade.

Seeing that, Hill immediately copied Xu Mo.

She turned around and closed her eyes!

Boom!

A muted explosion sounded from the grenade's direction.

Then an intense burst of light shot out from the explosion.

In an instant, the dark bar became as bright as day.

"Ahh!"

Cries rang out from every direction.

"Villain killed. Points +160!"

"Villain killed. Points +210!"

More than a dozen notifications appeared in Xu Mo's mind in rapid succession.

"The points for killing vampires are pretty generous!"

Xu Mo's eyes lit up.

In some circumstances, these vampires were even easier to kill than ordinary people.

Yet they gave several times the points of ordinary humans.

When Hill opened her eyes, she immediately saw that almost everyone in the bar had collapsed to the floor, clutching their eyes and screaming.

Xu Mo shrugged at Hill's questioning look.

"Do you have a better method?"

"Even so... isn't the collateral damage a little too widespread?"

Hill was speechless.

"Don't worry. They'll recover soon enough. Besides, they were accidentally injured during a counterterrorism operation. Because of that, they'll get a fairly long paid vacation, so they haven't really lost anything."

"Maybe they'll even thank me for it!"

After saying that, Xu Mo did not wait for her response. Instead, he dashed in one direction.

Using telekinesis, he had clearly sensed everything around him just now.

In the grenade's blast, more than a dozen vampires hidden among the crowd had been reduced to ashes.

Only two vampires standing near a stairwell in the distance had escaped by ducking into it in time.

Even so, they had been burned by the ultraviolet light.

At that moment, with the support of a vampire who had remained in the stairwell and was therefore unharmed, they fled deeper inside.

After hearing Xu Mo's explanation, Hill wore a helpless expression.

Then she shook her head and chased after him.

Inside the stairwell.

The two vampires with burned skin occasionally cried out in pain as they fled.

White smoke sizzled from the burned portions of their skin.

To recover from their injuries, they needed enough blood.

Although the Main Hall was full of living humans, they were not fools.

Anyone who could produce equipment specifically designed to target vampires, like an Ultraviolet Grenade, had clearly come for them.

If they dared return to the Main Hall, they would likely turn to ashes like their companions before they could drink enough blood to recover.

As they ran, the three also heard unhurried footsteps coming from behind them.

The footsteps drew closer and closer.

At the end of the stairwell, Xu Mo appeared.

Seeing Xu Mo appear behind them almost instantly, the uninjured vampire shoved the other two away.

"Hurry and go! I'll hold him off!"

After saying that, the woman turned toward Xu Mo, opened her mouth to reveal two sharp fangs, and let out an enraged roar.

"Come on, brat! I'm going to suck every drop of blood from your body!"

With that, she lunged at Xu Mo.

The moment she leaped in front of him, Xu Mo casually flicked his right hand a few times.

"Ah!!"

The female vampire let out a scream.

She crashed down in front of Xu Mo, her arms and legs twisted into impossible shapes.

Even on the ground, the female vampire stubbornly opened her mouth wide and hissed at Xu Mo.

"So you're saying you're really good at sucking, huh?"

As he spoke, the pistol loaded with silver bullets appeared in Xu Mo's hand, and he shoved it directly into the female vampire's hissing mouth.

Watching her arms slowly return to their normal shape, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

After the gunshot, the female vampire turned into ashes and scattered away.

"Villain killed. Points +180!"

Xu Mo put away his pistol.

"You really are good at it. Even my gun can only last three seconds!"

After dealing with her, he continued chasing the other two.

From that brief exchange, it seemed his guess had been right.

These vampires really were a bunch of weaklings.

He had used less than one percent of his strength just now, and she had already been unable to resist.

Hearing the scream and gunshot behind them, the two injured vampires looked even more terrified.

At the same time, footsteps rang out in the stairwell once more.

The sound seemed to stomp directly on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

After all, the vampire who had just tried to stop him had not even lasted half a minute before being eliminated. The two of them together probably would not fare much better.

Panicking, the two ignored the pain in their bodies and sprinted with all their strength to the end of the stairwell, hurriedly rushing into an elevator.

Their hands frantically pounded the close-door button.

Watching the elevator doors slowly close, both of them let out a breath of relief.

Just as the final sliver of the elevator doors vanished and the elevator was about to start, the open-door button beside them suddenly lit up.

The closing elevator doors opened again.

"What the fuck!!"

Their hearts, which had just settled, leaped back into their throats.

They hurriedly pressed the close-door button again.

As the doors gradually shut, the open-door button lit up once more.

"Fuck!"

The two were already on the verge of collapse.

"If I get out of here, I'll find the man who installed this elevator and tear him to pieces!"

"I'm afraid you won't get that chance!"

Xu Mo's ghostlike figure appeared outside the elevator doors.
