London's electrification has been progressing for years, and the gas streetlights that used to be used to in Mecho's youth have completely disappeared.

As for the gas lamp, he remembered that once again he had used the flame of the gas lamp to ignite the grease and get rid of the cruel beast when he was tracking down a vampire.

All these years have passed, but Mecho is still active in and around London.

Of course.

If it were only for his original human status, he should have been buried for many years at this time. However, the turning point in his fate came in the human kidnapping case just after he entered the police station.

Although no body was found.

But there is every indication that at least dozens of civilians have been abducted and destroyed. And after a series of investigations, evidence collection, and even sacrificing many undercover police officers, the London police gradually found out some incredible secrets, and even finally got a glimpse of some secrets of the leader of the Scarlet Moon......

As the first police officer to participate in the case, Mecho was gradually promoted in the operation after operation, and gradually became the most important participant in this series of investigations.

Ultimately.

When he fought a vampire on a mission, he almost died in order to save his life. A secret government agency performed a human modification operation on him.

After he awoke, he was reassigned to the British Royal Intelligence Service as an agent of the Thirteenth Bureau, which specialized in dealing with 'supernatural' events.

Time flies.

Many years have passed, and the director of the Intelligence Service has changed many times. But Mecho's appearance has never changed much.

As far as Mecho knew, the basis of the government's secret scientific research agency that had transformed him at the time seemed to be some of the body materials of the vampires and walking corpses they captured and killed in the operation, and then mixed with many captured supernatural lifeforms and the strange technology of ancient civilizations.

According to a researcher who knows each other, Mecho is essentially not much different from the vampires who have been transformed using the ultra-ancient item 'Stone Ghost Face'.

It's just that the tiny mysterious cells carried in the stone ghost mask enter the brain, although they can stimulate the potential of the human body and form all kinds of incredible abilities. But it also transmits its "fatal" weakness to humans, so that those vampires are seriously afraid of sunlight, and are easily manipulated by bloodthirsty desires because of the ** of cells, forming cruel and bloodthirsty vampires.

Britain's top biologists have finally improved the situation through countless sample dissections and experiments.

At the expense of the ability of a part of the cells to "regenerate at high speed", individual consumption is reduced many times, so that a 'modified person' like Mecho will not be driven crazy by the ** that originates from the cells, and can ensure that nutrients are absorbed from ordinary food.

While the consequence of this is that the transhumans lose the level of immortality and many of the special abilities of vampires, they still retain the vampire's immortality.

At least as far as Mecho knows, there are no known of any of the reformers who died of old age.

He enjoyed this state of eternal youth and immortality.

And he thinks that modifying people is much more "progressive" than vampires - both in terms of the degree of sanity retention and the difference in dependence on blood.

"Inspector~~~" A brown-haired woman wearing a beige trench coat and a very temperamental woman walked over.

This is Rowling, a new assistant who was transferred just last month.

The previous assistant is 55 years old and has retired to see his grandson.

"I really don't understand why you like to watch the Thames so much, Inspector~~~" Rowling complained and took out a stack of documents from her handbag: "Oh, this is the information compiled by the people from the Intelligence Department." ”。

Mecho rolled her eyes twice.

He frowned, "The Tann family?" Aristocracy again? ”。

Before Rowling could answer, Mecho complained, "These bastards lying in the hidden shadows of their ancestors...... Can't you happily eat and wait for death? What do you have to pursue immortality...... We've got to figure it out! ”。

"Although Inspector you say so...... But the work is generally done, right? Judging from the intelligence, this opponent is probably an old ghost. Rowling said as she put her hand in her pocket.

"Old ghost?" Mecho raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment and said, "It's been nearly a hundred years since vampires really started to be seen and discovered. Specifically, after the London serial kidnappings of my time. The words of the old ghost...... Is that my peer? ”。

"Yes."

"An agent confirmed from the painting that there was indeed a man who looked like Engslow. Tann's resemblance to Tann in his youth lived in the castle of the Tann family. ”

"Ensultane?" Mei Qiao's eyes froze, and then she asked, "What do the noble management councils and the royal family say?" ”。

A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of Rowling's mouth: "It's the same - secret operation, and it has nothing to do with the royal family and the noble council. If it is ......".

"If you are caught, you must not reveal your identity. Nor will I get any help from the British government......" Mecho picked up without waiting for Rowling to finish.

Because he had already heard these words, his ears were calloused.

As for the aristocratic council, which wants to solve hidden dangers and stay out of the matter, Mecho has experienced countless times in his decades of life.

Fortunately, with the development of the times, the power of capital has gradually replaced these decaying traditional aristocrats. The large number of civilian-born officials in the British government is also making the government as a whole more efficient.

Mecho closed the papers and stood up.

"Which group is resting at the base?" He asked.

"Three, six and nine are all resting in shifts." Rowling replied immediately.

"Hmm...... The nine groups had just returned from going to the South African colonies to capture the beast that the aborigines had enshrined, and they had to travel tirelessly. Call up the three! We're going to go tomorrow and kill that old guy! Mecho said decisively. This kind of image is completely different from the young little policeman many years ago.

……

Two days later.

On the dock across the island from the Tann family, a fishing boat quietly goes out to sea.

Mecho stood on the boat and looked out at the black silhouette of the island in the distance.

Even with his much enhanced eyesight after the transformation, he still couldn't see the specific landform on the island and the castle and manor of the Tann family.

At this moment, a man who was extremely tall and slender, carrying a long suitcase that was extremely long, even more than his own height, glanced forward and said, "Inspector, this castle is quite large...... It can't be a duke's castle, right? ”。

"It's the Marquis."

Whew! The tall man whistled: "Looks like we can kill another marquis!" ”。

"Idiot! Don't rejoice too soon...... Information from the intelligence services says that a 100-year-old vampire may be hiding here! A young woman in a blue tweed double-breasted coat and a short-brimmed hard-shelled hat scolded.
