Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Shadow of the Continent

Arthur took He Ran to his office in the castle villa, closed the door, and turned on the huge display screen that took up a third of the wall with the remote control.

"Mr. He, the pictures you see today may be beyond your previous understanding of the objective world, but I must explain that all the images you see are completely real, and there is no forgery."

He Ran nodded, "Mr. Arthur, let's start playing." Arthur pressed the remote control, and the surveillance video of Zhuo Yining's missing section began to play on the display screen, when the black gold supercar driven by Zhuo Yining appeared in the surveillance video, He Ran's attention suddenly became highly concentrated, his eyes stared at the first video like an eagle falcon, eager to decompose every frame of the video at high speed, and then, an unbelievable scene occurred in the surveillance video - three seconds after the appearance of the black gold sports car, it suddenly disappeared from the video screen as if it had been cut off! He Ran didn't have time to be shocked, only a second later, the sports car reappeared in the video, the difference is that compared with the previous high-speed operation, the sports car that appeared again was quietly parked on the side of the road, and the open door was empty!

"That's all I have when it's over." Arthur turned off the video and sat in his office chair to observe He Ran's reaction.

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all."

He Ran was silent for nearly half a minute, and when he opened his eyes again, two sharp eyes shot directly at Arthur, "Say, tell me everything you know, as well as your conditions." ”

An admiring smile appeared on Arthur's face, "Mr. He Ran, I really enjoy dealing with smart people like you, and I admire you more and more!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Arthur, let's talk about business between us, no need for compliments, I'm in a hurry, so please start your story."

Arthur. Poros took a static gold-encrusted pipe from a drawer, took a shredded tobacco from a damask box and put it in, lit it, and took a few puffs like a hungry baby sucking on a bottle, which was the first time he had ever seen him smoke.

"I'm sorry, I haven't smoked in a long time, but I'm going to talk about a long time ago, so I'd like to taste this familiar taste."

"Yourself!" He Ran didn't want to care about his habits at all.

"Does the surveillance video just now feel like the existence of some supernatural force? I can tell you, what you're seeing, it's a vampire! Their body structure allows them to no longer be seen in any imaging equipment, which is the real reason why the video you just saw is so weird! Of course, the paranormal phenomenon in that video is not only due to the fact that vampires cannot be represented in surveillance equipment, but also because the creature does possess abilities and gifts that are considered supernatural to us humans. ”

"Mr. Arthur, how do you know this?"

"The social structure of Europe determines that this land has a special social class, that is, the aristocracy, such as our Porosti family, however, in the long history, Europe has not only produced a single human species rich in aristocracy, or if human beings are the paintings of the nobility of the day, then the vampires who live in the castle of the Gloom are veritable nobles of the night!"

"Go on!"

"For a long time, humans have a natural fear of demons that feed on human blood, and terrible vampires spread death, plague, and fear, and in the long history of the Middle Ages and before, powerful vampires were the strongest ones standing at the top of the food chain on the European continent, while weak humans could only shiver in the long dark night, praying to God not to let vampires come to our windows, and we, the human aristocracy, naturally could not bear to have our authority threatened by this group of ghosts! So, the ancestors of my family, with their own strong financial resources, supported private armies, and recruited hunters who could restrain the weakness of vampires, but despite this, in the face of powerful vampires, we still lost more than we won, but in the centuries-long struggle, we discovered the biggest weakness of vampires! That is, the most powerful and pure-blooded pure-blooded vampires, that is, the number of real vampire nobles is extremely rare, and the rest of the vampires, most of them are powerful but simple-minded servants for vampire nobles, or just cannibal demons that are infected and transformed after being sucked by vampires, can not pose a real threat to humans, and on the contrary, humans can use their population advantage to launch attacks again and again against the few vampire nobles at the top of the pyramid, finally, The vampire aristocracy, who was overwhelmed, signed an armistice agreement with the human aristocracy, and the two sides divided the ruling power of day and night, ensuring that on the basis of safeguarding their own interests, they avoided a death match between each other, this subtle peace has been completely changed after the Industrial Revolution, and under the birth of a leap in science and technology, the human force has also made rapid progress, and the once incomparably terrible vampire looks like a praying mantis blocking a huge wheel in front of human steel and guns, Although they still possess powerful supernatural abilities and life force, they are no longer invincible demons, because they know that humans have the ability to completely exterminate them, so far, vampires have completely fallen into the endless dark world, until today, more than two hundred years, it has been a long time since they have seen vampires, people hunt for rumors, but no longer regard them as a terrifying nightmare. Before he knew it, there was no spark left in Arthur's pipe.

"Didn't you know that the massacre that took place in the Norse Polar Night town of Winstal was the work of the vampires?" He Ran's rhetorical tone was sharp and cold.

"Of course I know, but as far as I know, the Winstal incident is just a hundred-year-old vampire with a group of former prey of his own, taking advantage of the polar night to launch a prey on the town, and one of the vampires' frozen bodies was also obtained by the Snow Valley Laboratory, it should be noted that even as the leader of this group of low-end vampires, the vampire king who is more than a hundred years old is only worthy of being the slave of the nobles, and the real vampire nobles with noble blood have not shown up for hundreds of years, Their diet is extremely strict, and the blood of ordinary people makes them feel tainted, that is, ordinary people do not even deserve to be their food. Arthur knocked the ashes out of the smoke pot.

He Ran wanted to continue asking some questions, but a hurried knock on the door interrupted the conversation between him and Arthur.

"Mr. Arthur, Mr. Arthur, please open the door, you need to go to the fencing room and have a look!" Aubrey's voice came from outside the door, Arthur walked over and opened the door, and met the panicked butler, "Mr. Arthur, you and Mr. He need to go to the fencing room to have a look, Mr. Bo and Charles, they are ...... A duel with minor injuries is being fought! ”

"What!" He Ran and Arthur asked at the same time.

"What is Bo Xiaoye messing around, when is this!" He Ran thought that Zhuo Yining's life and death were uncertain, and Bo Xiaoye actually had the leisure to fight with others, and he was angry in an instant.

Aubrey calmed his breath and continued, "Moreover, their martial arts, I don't think they are limited to the light injury fighting level, they all seem to want each other's lives!" ”
