Vampires?
Du Mu wasn't surprised; the person's features certainly fit his impression of a vampire.
However, the setting of this game seemed a bit too much of a mashup; even a fantastical creature like a vampire was popping up now.
Du Mu lowered his elbow, shaking his head with a helpless expression: "See? If you had just told me earlier, you wouldn't have had to take this beating."
But you didn't give me a chance to talk!
The red-haired woman with the waves was furious but dared not speak, convinced that the human in front of her was a madman.
Du Mu examined the slumped red-haired woman and asked curiously, "You say you're a vampire, so what breed are you?"
"Vampires have breeds?"
The red-haired woman froze. How did she not know about this?
"Of course. Some vampires are slightly stronger than ordinary humans, but they can only drink blood and have a bunch of obvious weaknesses. Other vampires aren't afraid of the sun and have superpowers, but they're lovesick idiots who get into love triangles with humans and werewolves all day. So, which one are you?"
"...I should be the former."
Though the red-haired woman didn't really want to admit to having weaknesses, she certainly didn't want to be classified as a lovesick idiot.
Du Mu pressed on: "Are there many vampires like you in America?"
The red-haired woman hesitated: "Not many, otherwise humans would have discovered us already."
That was the truth.
If vampires were everywhere, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly be completely unaware. Otherwise, given Nick Fury's personality, he'd already be considering a species-wide extermination.
Du Mu continued asking: "Are the mass missing person cases recently in the Bronx related to you vampires?"
Hearing this, the red-haired woman suddenly paused.
But seeing Du Mu slowly lift his elbow, she quickly said, "Yes, yes! A while ago, Faize suddenly gave a command allowing us to capture humans ourselves, which is why we started hunting nearby."
"Who is Faize?"
"He's the leader of the Dhampirs [half-bloods] and holds immense power among the vampires."
A trace of fear showed in the red-haired woman's eyes.
[Mission: 'Investigate Missing Persons' Settlement Complete!]
[Reward: 500 EXP, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +10, Equipment 'Nichirin Blade']
[Equipment: Nichirin Blade (Crafted from a special material that absorbs sunlight, it has a fatal effect on all creatures that fear sunlight)]
[Does the player wish to skip the dialogue and proceed to the next mission?]
In the normal process, Du Mu would need to report the situation to Nick Fury, who would then issue the next mission.
But the game system could directly skip this step, allowing players to seamlessly transition to the next mission.
The game was indeed well-made in this regard.
It wasn't like certain games that forced players to watch the plot, not even giving the option to skip.
"Skip!"
Du Mu decisively chose.
[NPC Nick Fury has issued you a new mission]
[Mission: Ghost-Sweeping Operation]
[Objective: Eliminate the proliferating vampires in New York, limited to one week]
[Reward: Dependent on the number of vampires killed]
Du Mu asked a few more questions afterward, and the red-haired woman answered honestly.
There was no helping it; the psychological trauma from that elbow strike was simply too great.
"One last question," Du Mu held up a finger. "If you answer it correctly, I promise I'll let you go."
"Ask away!"
Hope seemed to dawn on the red-haired woman.
A person will do anything to survive, and vampires are no exception!
Du Mu smiled: "The question is very simple. Please prove the Goldbach Conjecture."
The red-haired woman: "..."
A moment later, Du Mu pushed the door and walked out of the restroom, only without the other figure by his side.
It was proven that people would indeed do anything to survive.
Except for math problems!
"Speaking of which, is the appearance of my Nichirin Blade a bit too peculiar? System, you didn't give me a fake, did you?"
[The appearance of the Nichirin Blade varies by the user. Whatever kind of person the user is, that is the appearance of the Nichirin Blade]
"You call this a Nichirin Blade?"
Du Mu held up the watermelon knife in his hand, looking speechless.
What kind of person did this watermelon knife represent him as?
A person who likes to eat watermelons?
"Ah!!!"
A sharp, miserable scream suddenly cut through the clamor of the bar!
Du Mu looked over and saw a person in the dance floor being violently tackled to the ground by another figure. Sharp fangs plunged savagely into the neck, and blood instantly sprayed!
Clearly, that was also a vampire.
Like a toppled domino, figures suddenly erupted all over the bar, pouncing on the unsuspecting humans around them!
In an instant, countless screams and shrieks echoed throughout the bar!
Facing the surging vampires, ordinary humans were completely helpless, like lambs to the slaughter, becoming dinner for the vampires one after another.
In a short time, the entire bar had turned into a bloody slaughterhouse!
Gauze-like, shriveled corpses lay strewn across sticky pools of blood. The floor reflected a nauseating crimson light, and the thick stench of blood was sickening!
In the chaos, some random fellow controlled the lights, and a spotlight suddenly hit Du Mu, making him the brightest guy in the room instantly.
In a flash, dozens of pairs of crimson eyes, flashing with hungry ferocity, locked onto Du Mu, as if he had stumbled into a meeting of the Uchiha clan.
"Hello, everyone's eating, had enough?"
Du Mu greeted them awkwardly.
The vampires bared their fangs and sneered, surrounding Du Mu from all directions, intending to prove with action that they hadn't eaten enough.
Looking at the circling horde of vampires, Du Mu showed no panic, merely tightening his grip on the Watermelon Nichirin Blade.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, exercising right after eating is bad for your health."
The vampires completely ignored his words.
The vampire at the front opened its fangs and impatiently charged at Du Mu, eager to take the first blood.
Swish!
A cold flash of light shot past!
The charging vampire's body suddenly stiffened. A faint scratch quietly appeared on its neck.
The next second, its head silently slid away from its body. The entire torso was like a piece of paper set alight, instantly turning to ashes and dissipating into the air, leaving nothing behind!
Du Mu rested the watermelon knife on his shoulder and lamented, "Tsk, I have to say, your way of dying is quite environmentally friendly."
The steps of the other vampires abruptly halted!
Their faces were now filled with shock and disbelief.
Vampires were known to be creatures with extremely tenacious vitality; ordinary weapons had no effect on them.
Even wounds caused by powerful firearm bullets could heal quickly.
Only substances explicitly countered by vampires, like pure silver, could inflict irreparable, fatal damage.
But the human before them had instantly killed their comrade with a single slash, not even giving it a chance to heal.
Is that really a friggin' watermelon knife?!
