In Manhattan, New York, 3 p.m. is the busiest time of the day.

Under the clear blue sky, countless vehicles and pedestrians are crowded among the steel jungle of high-rise buildings. The afternoon sun barely hits the streets, most of them are obscured by skyscrapers, and only a small amount of light is pitifully squeezed into the crevices of the tall buildings.

The famous Empire State Building is no longer the tallest building in New York, but for a variety of reasons, it still attracts countless tourists, and the sightseeing spot at the top of the building is bustling with people. At this moment, on the top of a skyscraper on the left side of the Empire State Building, two men and a woman are leaning against the railing and looking down.

This girl looks like she is only about 20 years old at most, but her demeanor reveals an old spicy that far exceeds her appearance age. At this moment, she was lazily leaning on the railing of the roof and looking down, and if anyone was opposite her at this moment, she would be surprised to find that her eyes were an unusual purple-red, and her pupils were like the lens of a military camera, which was exaggeratedly zooming in and out.

Standing in the middle was a Caucasian man. He was very handsome, with a typical English aristocratic temperament, his pale blue eyes were like a bottomless pool of water, and his pale shoulder-length blonde hair glistened in the sun like a golden waterfall.

But if you look closely, you can quickly see that this man's skin is unusually fair, and you can see the thin blood vessels below through the epidermis. He frowned slightly from time to time in the strong sunlight, as if he was not used to it.

On the far right is a young Oriental. This person is not handsome, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide ears, and a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth from time to time. What's even more rare is that he has a perfect physique that is rare in the East, although he only stands still, but the whole person is like a predatory tiger ready to attack, and anyone can feel the explosive energy coming from his body.

The shadow of this oriental man dragged a long line on the floor of the rooftop, but if anyone was attentive to the side, he would surely find that in his shadow there seemed to be a much smaller faint figure swimming in it, like a goldfish in a fishing tank.

Despite their normal appearances, all three of them exude a demonic temperament that makes it difficult to see them as ordinary humans. Although they were just lying on the rooftop and not doing anything else, it was clear that they were doing some kind of activity.

"How's it going, Annie?" After a while, the young Oriental turned to the red-haired woman.

The woman called Anne snorted coldly, and casually threw a pair of high-powered binoculars beside her: "I don't know how to look at it." ”

The young man took the binoculars and showed a helpless smile on his face: "If I had as good eyesight as you, would I still need to ask?" Why did you lose your temper so much, could it be that the one who came? ”

Anne ignored him, her eyes still not taking off the Empire State Building opposite. At this time, the white man in the middle wiped his forehead: "I'm very uncomfortable here." ”

The young man beside him set up a pergola with his right hand and squinted at the blazing sun overhead, and couldn't help but nod: "Well, I almost forgot, although Blatter is not afraid of the sun, he also does not like to stay in the sun for a long time. Damn, why hasn't the target appeared yet! ”

Suddenly, the shadow behind this young man fluctuated, and a piece slowly protruded in the center! The shadow that gradually rises changes color and shape, and soon becomes the appearance of a person. This is a girl with her hair tied in a bun, dressed in traditional women's clothes in the Song and Ming dynasties in China, she is no more than 17 or 8 years old, with beautiful hair and shawls, and her delicate face is full of mischievous demeanor.

However, if you look closely, you should notice that the color of this girl's whole body is extremely light, giving people a hazy feeling of nothingness and etherealism, and all the shadows below the knees are immersed in the shadow of the young man.

After appearing, the girl leaned on the young man's broad shoulders and pressed her beautiful cheeks to the past: "Brother Zhang Lie, it's not fun here at all, let's go, okay?" ”

For the girl who appeared from Zhang Lie's shadow, the three people present did not have any strange reaction. The young man named Zhang Lie couldn't help but slapped the girl's face with his backhand: "Xiaoyu, what are you doing when you come out to make a fuss, don't go back quickly." Your path is not yet to the point where you can move under the sun, so be careful that the sun will make you lose your spirit. ”

"But people are bored. Who told you to eat me and become your ghost, aren't you responsible for making people happy, and want to kill Xiaoyu alive? The girl named Xiaoyu hugged Zhang Lie's neck and said coquettishly.

Zhang Lie couldn't help but look like he couldn't help crying and laughing, and just as he was about to find a way to send away the pestering Xiaoyu, he suddenly heard Anne shout: "The target has appeared!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the smile on Zhang Lie's face immediately disappeared, and he quickly picked up the binoculars and put them on the bridge of his nose, aiming directly at one of the floors of the Empire State Building opposite.

Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see that the floor is almost entirely a conference room, with long solid wood conference tables spanning the entire length of the room. At this moment, there were more than thirty men in suits and leather shoes sitting in the conference room, as if a high-level meeting of some company was being held there.

At this time, everyone turned their heads to look at the door of a man who had just walked in. This man is amazingly fat, and from a distance it looks like a small mountain, and the whole person is simply long. He was probably in his 50s, his bare head was like a sarcoma, and his fat face had a kind smile, like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple. At this moment, he walked to the end of the conference table and greeted the people around him cordially.

"The medullacker Card, an independent spirit, integrated into human society 45 years ago and founded this investment company with huge assets, and is one of the few non-human people who can successfully enter the upper echelons of Wall Street. However, according to the alliance's investigation, under the cover of his dual identity, he has a lot of shady deeds behind his back. Like a precise machine, Anne casually reported a large number of information.

Looking carefully at the card in the conference room opposite through the telescope, Zhang Lie couldn't help but say: "This guy's identity is so eye-catching, I don't believe that the U.S. government doesn't notice it." It's strange that humans would allow this guy to open an investment company on Wall Street and hold the valuable securities of several major conglomerates. ”

"There's nothing strange about it." Blatter said unhurriedly: "He only obtained such a status by privately selling a large number of juvenile spirits to those upper-class people with special habits. And according to intelligence, Card has been secretly gathering traitors and independent spirits of various races since 10 years ago, and has close contacts with the North American side of the hunter organization. The League has repeatedly asked him to explain, but he has fallen on deaf ears. ”

"Hmph, another traitor. What I hate most is these bastards who collude with humans to kill their own people. ”

Zhang Lie smiled at the angry Annie: "Don't worry, you can kill him by any means in a while." In order to maintain a delicate balance with humans, this lackey has not been touched. However, recently the alliance seems to be preparing to take a tough stance, so it is natural that they will take him for the knife. ”

Saying that, he smiled and squeezed his eyes at Blatter: "Those old men of the Elder Group are really damaged, as long as we are done here, the conglomerate controlled by the blood clan will secretly acquire Card's company, and will not leave anything for the human race." As the race that has successfully integrated into human society, you have picked up a big bargain this time. ”

As if listening to something that had nothing to do with him, Blatter said indifferently: "I have nothing to do with them..."

"Good, good." Zhang Lie waved his hand helplessly: "I know that you and your people are not quite right, so I won't say it in the future." ”

As he spoke, he licked his lips excitedly like a beast hunting a moment ago: "I don't know how Card would feel if he knew that in a few minutes, his life and assets would not belong to him." ”

Anne said coldly: "Dead people don't need to know anything, let's do it." ”

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and grabbed the void, as if by magic, a longbow appeared in her hand. The bow was about as tall as Anne, and its blood-red body was covered in twisted runes, which looked like knotted tendons. There is a strange protrusion above the broad handle in the middle of the bow, like a large closed one-eye. The three bowstrings glow brightly in the sun's rays.

Posing, Anne held the bow in her left hand and rested her right hand on the second bowstring, muttering a few incantation-like whispers in her mouth. As her right hand gradually pulled back, an arrow that seemed to be made of three strange tentacles appeared on the bow, and the barbed black arrow resembled a bloodthirsty eagle's beak.

Aiming at the conference room directly below, Anne's eyes suddenly widened, and in an instant, purple-red pupils covered her entire eye socket. At the same time, the crack in the middle of the strange protrusion in front of the bow body also opened, and inside it turned out to be a bloodshot cyan eyeball!

In an instant, a strange black and red mist enveloped Anne, and she took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring to the extreme. I heard a loud roar, and the eyeball in front of the bow swelled a lot, and the black arrow disappeared in an instant, and almost in the blink of an eye, it shot at the fat man over the distance between the two floors.

With a loud bang, the thick wall glass outside the conference room shattered completely, and the arrows flew in at a lightning speed. This sudden change stunned everyone in the room, and no one had time to react, dozens of pairs of eyes just watched the strange arrow flying from nowhere on the fat man's forehead.

Seeing that the arrow was about to pierce his head, suddenly the man had grasped the arrow in his hand with a swift movement that did not match his size. Then there was a scorching sound, accompanied by a puff of white smoke, and the arrow melted in his palm.

Looking at the three people on the rooftop of the opposite building, a strange smile appeared on the man's chubby face. Yes! Suddenly, the few people standing opposite him all let out a cry of horror, because they saw that the man's mouth was full of sharp teeth!

"Chief, President, ...... you" One of them shouted in panic before he stopped halfway through, as his head was pierced by the long tongue that had ejected from the fat man's mouth.

This further increased the panic in the conference room, no one understood what was going on, and everyone left their seats like headless flies trying to rush out the door. Unfortunately, the thick wooden door of the conference room was completely blocked by the fat man, and all the men who tried to approach it were pierced through the door of their heads by his long tongue.

"Whew, I knew it wasn't that easy." Looking at the panicked scene in the conference room opposite, Zhang Lie pursed his lips helplessly, turned around and shouted: "Xiaoyu!" ”

Xiao Yu, who had been lying behind him watching the changes in the situation, smiled slightly, and kissed the corner of Zhang Lie's mouth: "You have to be careful." He shrank back into the shadow behind Zhang Lie.

With a backhand on her shoulder, Anne jumped out of the roof with a kick on the railing. As soon as she reached mid-air, I saw her hands stretched out to her side, a pair of jade arms were so stretched and elongated, countless white feathers burst out from under the skin, and in an instant her hands had turned into a pair of wings, and at the same time, her feet also turned into eagle claws, and the feathers covered her calves.

Spreading her wings and circling diagonally in mid-air, Anne slashed along the surface of the building, her mouth opening and letting out a long sigh. The sound wave pierced the surface of the Empire State Building like a sharp cone, and in an instant, wherever she flew, the entire floor of wall glass shattered into powder, and exploded through the air like a rainstorm.

For a moment, the sky was full of glittering glass powder, and Anne swung her wings to stabilize her body in the air, and then slapped at the broken glass rolling in front of her like a sandstorm! With the help of a strong wind, a large cloud of sharp glass shards rolled into a gust of wind and poured directly into the conference room behind, only to hear a series of screams before death, a large rain of blood splattered in an instant, and the conference room was completely painted blood-red with shredded flesh and blood.

Broken glass rained down the street below, causing another burst of chaos, with the screams of pedestrians and the roar of car horns. Visitors at the top of the Empire State Building also leaned on the rooftop to look down.

Zhang Lie looked at the room full of corpses opposite, and couldn't help touching his chin: "It's really pitiful, all countries in the world are trying their best to hide the existence of our non-human race from ordinary people, these guys are afraid that they won't believe that their boss is a monster until they die." ”

"When did you get so kind?" Blatter glanced at him.

"No..."Zhang Lie shook his head: "I'm just interested in knowing what kind of chaos will happen if all human beings know about our existence one day."

As he spoke, he and Blatter jumped on the spot at the same time, and the two of them jumped up like springs and jumped straight into the conference room opposite. Almost in no particular order, the three of them entered the room at the same time. The glass storm that Anne had just whipped had turned everyone in the conference room into hedgehogs, but the fat man was miraculously unharmed.

Looking at the three people who suddenly entered, he stretched out his long tongue and rolled up a pool of blood on the ground and fed it to his mouth, and excitement flashed in his eyes: "I drink the blood of these wastes every day, I have long been tired of it, and it is rare to have good goods delivered to the door today." ”

Blatter stood up with a look of disgust, and said coldly: "Medullary Demon Card, you have violated the fourth prohibition of the Alliance by privately capturing juvenile spirits and selling them to humans, and we will eliminate you by order of the Alliance." ”

"Ka Ka, are the Elders finally going to do their hands on me? If you only dare to act in the Alliance, it is no wonder that you will never be able to fight the humans. Truly intelligent people should choose to cooperate with humans rather than engage in that kind of pointless fighting, just like me. ”

Kader said triumphantly, "For the past ten years, I have been using the ten-year-old girl provided by humans as food every day, which you have never thought of at all, right?" Well, if you want to follow me, just abandon that alliance that has no future, and I guarantee that you will get the enjoyment that you can't imagine in this life. ”

With great disdain and disgust, Anne said coldly, "Shut your ugly mouth. ”

As if unsurprising by the trio's reaction, Kad shrugged nonsensically, "It's okay, but... Harpies, half-vampires, and a youkai, just by virtue of the lackeys of the three of you Alliance, you are not qualified to say these two words to my Card! ”

As he spoke, Card's body suddenly swelled up like fermentation, and the well-made suit he wore outside his body immediately split into strips of cloth.

Soon, what appeared in front of the three of them was a behemoth that was four meters tall and two meters wide, with an unsightly green skin and overgrown hairs, and sarcomas of different sizes all over the surface of the body. His mouth was cracked to the base of his ears, his mouth was full of sharp teeth, and a long tongue curled around like a poisonous snake, and it was hard to associate this monster with the card he had just had.

Zhang Lie made a disgusting expression: "To be honest, although they are both monsters, it is really rare for the prototype to be as disgusting as you." I said, break it yourself, I really don't want to do anything with you. ”

With an insulted and angry look on his face, Card threw up his head and shouted, "Bastard, bastard, I'm going to suck your brain dry!" As he spoke, the tongue outside his mouth flickered, and the phantom shot towards Zhang Lie's head.

Zhang Lie knew the power of the marrow sucking demon's tongue, and he didn't want to jump away from the spot in an instant. As he got to his feet, he heard a pop, and a small hole two fingers wide appeared where he had just stood.

Retracting his tongue, Kade smirked: "My tongue pierces even steel plates, faster than the speed of sound, and the brains of the three of you today are my afternoon tea." Then he opened his mouth and stabbed his tongue at the three of them.

It seems that Kad really didn't brag, but a blood-red shadow kept churning around his mouth, and every time he shook it, a small hole appeared in the floor. Zhang Lie and the three of them did not live in the room and dodged, and they were in danger.

Anne was now regaining her human form, and as soon as she swung her upper body and dodged Card's stabbing blow, she jumped onto the ceiling and hung upside down. Then she removed the longbow that hung over her shoulder, and at the same time the bow was stretched out and three long arrows appeared on the string, and they shot at Kad in almost no particular order.

There were only a few popping sounds, and all three long arrows were nailed to Card's chest, and the arrows were sunk deep. However, it was not the arrow that had pierced Card's body, but rather the arrow's muscles had sucked it in.

Card stuck out his tongue and laughed maniacally, "My body is comparable to rubber, how can you hurt me with your bow." "Seeing that his tongue kept stabbing the three of them, I really don't know how he spoke.

"Really?" Anne smiled slightly, and pointed at the three arrows with her hands behind her back.

It was as if he had opened some kind of mechanism, and the three strands of black strands twisted into the body of the arrow split apart in an instant, and they were wrapped around Kader's body as if they were alive, but in a moment, nine long black ropes tied Kad into a strong knot.

Unexpectedly, the other party still had such a hand, Kader was shocked and angry, and couldn't help struggling and twisting, but where did he move? At this moment, he suddenly felt a shadow in the corner of his eye, but it was Zhang Lie who came behind him without knowing when.

With both hands flat on the corners of Kade's forehead, Zhang Lie's eyes flashed: "Demon magic. Devour the Seal! I saw that a red light suddenly erupted from the edge of his palm, and in a few strokes, Card's forehead had been imprinted with two marks made of dense strange runes.

Probably having a premonition of his fate, Card's eyes went from frightened to mad, and he shouted desperately, "Bastard, bastard, I want you all to be buried together!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw that his body began to swell violently, and because he was tightly bound by the black beam of Anne's arrows, his ever-expanding body could only be squeezed out of the layers of entanglement, like a backlog of broken cream buckets, which looked extremely strange.

"Damn it!" Zhang Lie scolded, raised his head and shouted, "Blatter, hurry up!" ”

Blatter, who had not moved, suddenly rushed straight up, flipped his right hand, and a Western long sword with a crystal light and a Hebrew inscription engraved on the surface appeared in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Card's heart.

Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce Card's body, he suddenly threw his head back, and a large mouth and a long tongue were already shooting towards Blat's forehead. With so close, Blatter simply didn't have time to dodge.

Unbelievable things happened, and in just an instant, Blatter's body turned into a puff of white mist, and Card's tongue pierced into the mist, in vain. Atomization is a skill that only purebred vampires have, isn't Blatter a half-vampire? However, even the third generation of vampires can't move in the sun, what is going on?

Carder also looked like he couldn't believe his eyes, and he exclaimed, "You can be atomized in the sun, you, you're not an ordinary vampire!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the mist condensed again into Blat's form, followed by the sword piercing through Card's heart, accompanied by Blatter's cold words: "I don't need you to know what I am, garbage." ”

Something strange happened, Blatter's sword was like life, and after piercing into Card's body, the surface of the stream of light could not stop rippling, as if it was absorbing something. In just a moment, Card's already inflately swollen body trembled like a deflated ball, quickly softening.

"Swallow!" At this time, I saw Zhang Lie let out a low shout, and the two sigils printed on Card's forehead suddenly covered his whole body. Just like an invisible mouth that can't stop swallowing, Card's body gradually dissolves and disappears.

It wasn't until Card's body completely disappeared that Zhang Lie clapped his hands and exhaled: "Okay, the task has been successfully completed." Saying that, he looked at the bloody corpses in the conference room, and said helplessly: "I knew that so many people would die this time, so I let the ghoul of Vera do it." ”

Anne said indifferently: "These human garbage, it doesn't matter how many people die. ”

Zhang Lie couldn't help laughing: "You still hate humans so much." However, it is better to restrain it in the future, and it will not be good if it provokes the attention of the hunter organization. ”

Suddenly, he noticed that Blatter had been staring at the pool of blood under his feet, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Blat, are you okay?" Want to suck blood again? ”

"No......" Blatter shook his head and raised his pale face: "Someone will come soon, let's leave quickly." He opened the door and went out first.

After Blatter and Anne left, Zhang Lie took another look at the room that looked like Shura's hell, crossed his hands to form several seals, and shouted in a low voice: "Demon Red Lotus. Clean! ”

Immediately after hearing a bang, the entire conference room was instantly engulfed by a raging flame out of nothing. Zhang Lie nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to leave.
