Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Vampire
As a legendary creature in human history, under the influence of superstition and romanticism, people have the impression that vampires have canine teeth, pale skin, and live by sucking the blood of living beings. The creatures here www.biquge.info are mainly humans. And as the story spreads, the creature is added with all sorts of settings - or rumors. Metaphors for immortality, such as speed and strength, as well as shadowless, flying, and the ability to transform normal humans into vampires through a ritual known as "First Embrace".
And Zorro is talking about superpowers that are not these. In his opinion, most of them are "commonalities" of vampires, and they can't be called superpowers at all.
However, since he was not sure of his guess, even if Fury kept asking questions as he flew through the sky at night while he was flying through the night sky, he did not elaborate, but only gave a few key words. For example, the Volturi family.
"The Volturi family in Italy? There was a time when S.H.I.E.L.D. kept an eye on them. Fury, who was still on the Helicarrier, said while checking the information, "They have a lot of influence in Italy, they have a lot of status in tourism, and they have several castles that are world treasures. There was a time when we thought they had something to do with the mafia, when they seemed to have superpowered thugs under them. It was only later that the investigation did not make much progress, and the surveillance was withdrawn due to unexpected pressure from the Italian authorities. How? They raised a bunch of vampires? Or are they vampires themselves? ”
Zorro didn't respond, but muttered - the probability soared from 50% to 90%. Originally, he thought that Loki had only been on Earth for such a short time, and it was unlikely that he would be able to hook up with the vampires over there, but he knew through the controlled Hawkeye that S.H.I.E.L.D. once thought that those "people" might have superpowers. I guess this is the case with Lucian and other werewolves on the Manhattan side.
But even if that information didn't come from S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye would have had his own source of information. You know, he's been in the circus for a while. No matter what circus it is, the kind of wandering life is the most accessible to the gossip of various places.
Not to mention how Loki got on the line with those vampires and werewolves, since he has a suspicious target, then Zorro naturally needs to know more relevant information. So while dealing with Fury with a hitch, he also searched for it with his mobile phone. hacked into the website of the senior high school in a small place called Fox in Washington, found the roster of students, and saw the names of Isabel Raswang and Edward Cullen, Alice Cullen, etc., and the remaining 10% could basically be determined.
After looking at Foxtown's social media circles, Zorro had a rough idea of the timeline in that story. Miss Swan, who is not yet 20 years old, is married to the eldest child of the Cullen family and is pregnant. They went abroad to raise their babies, and the family was very happy - this is what the people of the town know. And the truth is, they're in big trouble.
Under normal circumstances, vampire couples in that system are not able to have children naturally. Female vampires don't have that ability at all, and men have a lower chance of winning the 5 million lottery. The problem is that Edward, who is a vampire, "hits" the lottery while on his honeymoon with Isabella, a human girl. The half-vampire, half-human fetus grows very fast, and at the same time hurts Isabella by over-absorbing nutrients from the mother's body. In the end, the half-breed fetus was born after only a month, and it nearly killed Isabella - no, it did. In the end, it was Edward, as her husband, who bit Isabella and brought her back to life as a vampire.
However, this is not the end of the story. The Volturi family, whom Zorro mentions to Fury, are the "royalty" of vampires, and have a responsibility to keep their existence from ordinary people. As soon as someone catches the attention of ordinary people, they take action to eliminate the threat. Zorro felt that the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. did not make progress back then was that the clues were cleared by Volturi. This time, the Cullen family was reported to the Volturi family for an extra vampire child.
Vampire toddlers are very good-looking, and they are very popular in this world of appearance. It's easy to fall in love with them as long as you're close to them. But because young children become vampires at an early age, they stop growing, and the traits of young children - not being able to be taught well, not being able to be effectively restrained - are their greatest flaws. The lack of good and evil and self-control means that a casual tantrum can destroy an entire village and kill everyone they meet. This would attract the attention of ordinary humans, and would undoubtedly be inconsistent with the purpose of the Volturi family.
Edward and Elizabeth's child, Reneys Macallen, was certainly not a vampire child, because that child could grow up and inherit vampire blood and abilities from the mother's womb, rather than being a vampire first and then a vampire like ordinary vampire children. But in Zorro's known story, the Volturi family had identified Renysme as a vampire child. Therefore, unless the Cullen family is willing to hand over the child directly within the time limit and let the Volturi family die, the two families will inevitably fight. And a small emerging family like Cullen will naturally not be the opponent of a "royal family" like Volturi with a history of more than 2,000 years.
With this in mind, Zorro expanded the scope of his search. He found two cases. First of all, several castles owned by the Volturi family have recently suspended their open door business, which is something special for them who need to suck their blood. And that date was supposed to be the day before Loki's arrival. Zorro speculated that the Volturi family had set out from Europe at that time, gathering believers to prepare to deal with the Cullens. As a result, the movement was probably a little bigger, and it happened to be discovered by Loki and Hawkeye. In this case, there is no need for Hawkeye to remember the information about the Volturi family in S.H.I.E.L.D. to have a "union" between the two sides. And if that's the case, then the number of vampires in Las Vegas will definitely be more than a few or a dozen, and it will have to multiply several times.
In addition, there have been a lot of strangers gathering in Fox Town recently, and those are supposed to be the ones that the Cullens have approached to support their theory with the Volturi family and prove that Renysme is not a vampire child.
It's a good idea, and it proves that Renysme won't be harmful to the entire population, so this fight can't be fought, right? The Cullens were wrong. This time, the Volturi family started the war, not entirely for the sake of Renysme, and maintaining the prestige and status of the Volturi family is only one aspect. The point is that one of the three leaders of the Volturi family has long taken a fancy to the special superpowers of several vampires in the Cullen family, and wants to conquer and co-opt them, of course, after eliminating the Cullen family! So even if the Culens prove that Renysme isn't a vampire baby in the end, Walturi's side will come up with a new reason to deal with them.
In short, that war was impossible to avoid - unless someone in the Cullen family started again.
Thinking of this, Zorro suddenly had the urge to visit the small town of Fox.
"When the matter is over, let's go and see the legendary power."
And before then, he still has an army of vampires to destroy!
