Chapter IV

Immediately after that, the elder began to delegate the task: "Half a month later, the Cardinal Archbishop of Joy, known as one of the 'twin swords of the Holy See', visited Japan and inspected the hunter branch there, and the task of the first group was to try to assassinate him in order to weaken the strength of the Holy See. We have instructed the Coalition to provide full assistance on the Japanese side. ”

Snow Mai Yi Yao slowly bent down: "Yes, I must take off Joey's head." ”

Then the elder said to Mark and the others: "Second group, you continue to Romania and try to persuade the dragons to join the alliance. Recently, the hunter organization has been suppressing the territory of the dragon clan's activities, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the dragon clan elders, even if they can't achieve their goal, they try to instigate them to launch a counterattack, understand? ”

Mark muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to see those lizards again...", and then he waved his hand with a big grin: "Okay, okay, I see." Our group will do our best to do it. ”

Then the elder turned to the third group: "The purpose of the third group is to travel to the heart of black Africa, where it is reported that a part of a Pandora's box was buried as part of King Solomon's treasure. Recently, the hunter organization seems to be looking for Solomon's treasure as well, and your group must find it within 2 months, understand? ”

The lich of the third group, Jaris, nodded: "Yes, please leave it to us. ”

Then it was finally Zhang Lie's turn to be in the fourth group, and the elder said to them, "The task of the fourth group is the same as the third group, which is to find the parts of the scattered Pandora's box. Your destination is the site of Loulan near Lop Nur in the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang Province, China, where another part is likely to be located, also for two months. China is Zhang's home base, and you can make good use of your connections there. ”

Zhang Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "You said it nicely, if you really want to talk about the relationship, the demon fox clan of Liuli is really the head snake of the ground, I am a monster with no background, where does it matter." ”

Liuli couldn't help but snort when she heard this: "Tiger Demon Zhang Lie, I don't know which monster in China has this name." You are so humble, you must be too shameless. ”

Zhang Lie seemed to have nothing to do with her, so he had to shrug his shoulders and pretend not to hear. The Elder concluded, "You are all the best of our non-Terran forces, so we want you to understand how important this operation is to us. I hope that you will do your best for the survival of all non-human races. In addition, this plan is still strictly secret, even among the people of the clan, and it is strictly forbidden to leak it, I hope you will remember that if necessary, you can kill anyone who knows. ”

All members nodded in understanding. Then the elder said, "You can leave and carry out the task of this group." Blatter, you stay for a while, I have something to say to you. ”

Blatter was about to get up and leave with Zhang Lie and the others, and when he heard this, he sat down again. Zhang Lie leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Anne and I are waiting for you outside." Then he walked out.

********************

At this moment, in the darkness above the ladder chair, the strong demonic aura gradually dissipated, and it was obvious that the other members of the elder group had also left. In the darkness, only the elders of the vampire clan and Blatter sat below.

Suddenly, there was a ripple of darkness like substance, and an old man with a white beard slowly walked out. He was very old, but he still looked unusually handsome under the natural bloodline of vampires, and the years seemed to have completely detracted from his charm. The old man was tall and well-proportioned, dressed in a strange black gown, with a gold chain hanging from his chest with a coat of arms emblazoned with the Bloodline's mark, indicating that he was one of the core elders of the Vampire Kamalilla Alliance.

Walking slowly down the stairs, the old man walked up to Blatter and stared at him with emotion. But Blatter kept his head down, not glancing at the old man. After a long time, the old man sighed softly and muttered, "Oh, Blatter, why do you always refuse to come back, the Lord Chancellor misses you so much." ”

Blatter got up abruptly and said indifferently: "You left me just to say this?" ”

The old man waved his hand slightly and motioned for him to sit down: "No matter what, he is also your father....."

Blatter's pale face suddenly flashed a bright red, and he snapped, "Shut up!" I don't have a father! Not even a superior! Who qualifies him to miss me? In his eyes, I was just a tool! If you just want to be his lobbyist, then I'm leaving. So saying, he went to the door.

The old man looked at Blatter with pity, and said slowly, "Okay, I won't say it anymore." Do you know? Recently, the 'Demon Feast' alliance has begun to stir again, which has greatly annoyed the justices. ”

Blatter snorted and stopped: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

The old man stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "According to rumors, your brother Jude, who was robbed by the 'Demon Banquet' back then, is about to wake up. The 'Demon Feast' alliance is spreading the word that he is the true king of our blood clan, and many neutral clans have begun to waver, and there is panic within the alliance. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Blatter turned around violently: "You said Jude? How is this possible? ”

The old man nodded: "This news is absolutely true, it is reported that the 'Demon Banquet' collected more than 100,000 'blood essences' in order to revive him, just like ......you back then."

"Enough!" Bratt interrupted him with a hard shout, "Don't say any more. Whether it's the 'Demon Feast' or the Kamarilla Alliance, the fight between you has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to mention it to me in the future. ”

The old man looked at him and said slowly, "The Chief Justice wants me to remind you that in order to make Jude the only king, the 'Demon Banquet' is likely to try to get rid of you, so please be careful." ”

"I see." Blatter replied lightly, ignoring the old man and walking straight to the door.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then stopped him again: "Blatter, no matter what you think, you always have the blood of the Justice's purebred blood clan flowing in your body, and your connection with the blood clan will never be dissolved." ”

Hearing his words, Blatter stood still violently, silent for a moment, he took a deep breath, as if to suppress something: "I have no interest in human blood. He strode out of the room.

Looking at Blatter's departing back, the old man sighed: "Blatter, how long can you suppress it?" ”

*****************

Blatter walked out of the bookstore, where Zhang Lie and Anne were waiting for him by a fountain across the street. Seeing him walk out, Zhang Lie beckoned from afar: "Blatter, this way." ”

Along the way, from time to time, young girls were attracted by Blatter's handsome appearance and frequently saluted him, but Blatter turned a blind eye. Seeing his somewhat strange expression, Zhang Lie asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Blatter shook his head: "I'm fine. ”

This is a family matter of the blood clan, and the two of them don't want to ask much, after a pause, Zhang Lie said again: "What do you think of the plan of this alliance?" ”

"Crazy plan..."

With a smile, Zhang Lie couldn't help but say: "You still don't want to show your thoughts easily, but although it's not right, your and Mark's opinions are surprisingly consistent." ”

Seeing Blatter's surprised gaze, Zhang Lie explained: "I secretly asked the second group when I came out just now, and they also thought that this plan was crazy, in fact, I'm afraid everyone thinks so. I don't know what the elder group thinks, and if we try our best to fight with the strength of the alliance, even if we succeed, the heavy price is not something we can afford. What's more, how could the holy city, which has been run by mankind for thousands of years, be breached so easily. ”

"In that case, why didn't you bring it up at the meeting just now?" Anne said coldly suddenly.

Zhang Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Anne, are you playing with me?" We are only a task force responsible for carrying out the orders of the Governing Body, and we do not have the capacity to intervene in decision-making. What's more, this plan was approved by the elders of all clans. ”

"That's right, just carry out the order carefully, where is so much nonsense."

Zhang Lie rubbed the bridge of his nose with a smile: "Annie, you are always so serious." ”

"I've always been like this, if you don't like it, you can apply for a transfer."

has long been accustomed to the temper of this cold and arrogant beauty, not only did Blatter not express it, but Zhang Lie did not show the slightest sign of anger. He smiled indifferently and diverted the subject: "If this plan is fully implemented, I am afraid that the Hunter Organization will no longer be able to try to hide the fact that we are not humans." I'd love to see how people who don't know anything will react when they suddenly find out that the world is full of youkai. ”

A strange look flashed in Blatter's eyes: "What reaction?" Maybe it's just a billion more people who want to destroy us..."

Anne stared at passers-by with cold eyes: "Isn't that right?" ”

"Why, humans and non-humans can't coexist peacefully...", Blatter suddenly said coldly.

Looking at him in amazement, Zhang Lie and Annie's eyes were like looking at a stranger.

"No kidding, how is this possible. In the eyes of non-humans, humans are nothing more than a group of creatures that have taken over the planet and threatened our existence, and the other side has the same opinion. Even if we think so, how can two races who have embraced this kind of thinking since childhood coexist peacefully? Zhang Lie was half joking, half helpless.

After a moment of silence, Anne exhaled slowly: "I don't want to hear you say it a second time. ”

Looking at the two of them fixedly, Blatter didn't speak, and for a while the three of them seemed to fall into silence because of this topic.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhang Lie smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's not something we can change." Since there is such a big ambition on it, we have to work harder. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out three air tickets: "It seems that they have been prepared, this is a ticket to Shanghai." ”

Bratch nodded: "Don't worry, I'm just talking about it casually." ”

The trio then got up and left Newmarket Road.

*************************

Two days later, the three of them successfully arrived in Shanghai, China, and the Chinese branch of the Non-Human Alliance was built in the downtown area of Shanghai. First, this cosmopolitan metropolis is very convenient for members of the alliance to come and go; Second, Shanghai's huge population, mixed with aura is enough to cover the demonic energy in the branch, so as not to be discovered by the hunter organization.

Familiar with the road to a bustling street in Huangpu District, the three of them walked straight into a company. From the outside, the company is nothing special, as the sign hanging outside the towering office building indicates that it belongs to the Chinese branch of a foreign company. The building is full of people coming and going, full of tension but orderly, such a company, in Shanghai there are thousands of them, naturally no one will pay attention.

This time it was a secret mission, and the three of them didn't want to alarm the alliance branch in China. However, China is also the largest branch of the Hunter Organization in Asia, and many members with extremely high magical cultivation are stationed all year round, so the three of them decided to inquire about the recent activities of the Hunter Organization in China first, and then decide on future actions.

Walking into the building, the three of them went straight to the middle of the five elevators in the lobby. Zhang Lie stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly on an inconspicuous hole next to the elevator, and the elevator door immediately opened, and there was already an elevator waiting for them.

At this time, a man who was waiting for the elevator next to him was overjoyed and immediately ran over: "You guys are so lucky, you immediately waited for one and borrowed it." As he spoke, he was about to step into the elevator.

Before he stepped into one foot, he saw three pairs of eyes staring at him in the elevator. For no reason, he felt a terrible murderous aura, and a thrill in his heart made him unable to step out of the man's feet.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!" Anne said to him in a deep voice.

Hearing her words, the man involuntarily took two steps back and watched the elevator close. After a while, he wiped the cold sweat on his head as if he had reacted, shook his head inexplicably, and walked away slowly.

The elevator descended slowly, and a few minutes later, with a "ding", the door stopped, and almost at the same time, a strong demonic aura mixed with a noisy sound came to the face.

This hidden space is unusually vast, and in the past, it was at least the size of two football fields, tens of meters high. The zenith is divided into four large LCD screens facing all directions, on which various information is constantly changing. The space below is decorated in a strong Chinese style, with fine wood-grain floors, intricate lattice fences, and even a few pools and green bamboo. Around the towering stone wall, a circle of wood-framed corridors surround it, and rows of independent small spaces are carved out of the stone wall, which looks like a beehive.

Amid the tumult and occasional screams, countless people in Chinese gowns and Tang costumes walked back and forth between the desks close together. At the same time, in mid-air, many flying heads were also shuttling between the layers of the stone wall with stacked materials. They resemble human heads, but they look hideous, with long hair flowing on the back of their heads, no body, and a pair of short fat hands under their short necks, swaying back and forth in the air.

This is the branch of the Non-Human Alliance in China, and all of them are non-humans. The computer on the table, the LCD screen hanging in the air, and the radio that echoes in the hall from time to time, and the flying heads in the air, the ethereal ghosts that occasionally pass by, and the strong demonic aura everywhere, constitute the most bizarre scene.
