CHAPTER IX
Still unsure of what he meant, Jude didn't speak, just waited for Thorn to continue. Soon he said, "I know that you are the leader of the Demon Feast, and your name is Jude. Although I don't know what enmity you have with Zhang Lie, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that I want to kill him too. β
After a pause, he added, "We might as well talk about a deal." I'm not familiar with life here, and to be honest, it's a hassle to carry such a burden. So I will treat you with the poison on the condition that I rely on your power to send him back to China. As he spoke, he pointed to Blatter in his hand and said, "Of course, I won't let you go in vain." My boss is in China, and I think he'll be happy to meet you, and you'll definitely have something of mutual interest. Trust me, once you work with my boss, whatever you want is no longer difficult. β
"Hmph, unashamed fellow." Bailance couldn't help but snort.
Jude instead looked interested, and he asked, "Can you tell you what you captured Blatter for?" β
Thorn immediately shook his head: "It's none of your business. If you think about it or not, I think you should know very well that you can't stop me if I want to leave. β
Hearing this, Bailans couldn't hold back any longer, and he was about to order his subordinates to kill this guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but Jude actually nodded: "Yes, it just so happens that I also need to go to China for something." β
"My king, are you really going to hand Blatter over to that fellow?"
"Needless to say, I have my own plans." Jude waved his hand for him to stand down.
Glaring at the stab in dismay, Berance stepped aside. Jude held out his hand to the thorn wound: "So, let me see if you have the ability to get rid of wolf venom." β
Walking up to Jude, Thorn Wound held out his right hand. In an instant, the canopy was pure white, and tiny tendrils that were almost transparent poured out from between his fingers, densely flowing from under Jude's skin into his body. As the roots slowly contracted, like a vacuum cleaner, it sucked out all the wolf venom from Jude's body, and in a moment the white whiskers had turned the blue-gray of Jude's skin.
Under the absorption of "Ice Crystal Grass", Jude's complexion slowly returned to normal, his bloodshot eyes dissipated, and his eyes turned deep dark blue again. It's just that because of his weak body, he looks a little godless.
Severed the roots of the ice crystal grass attached to his hands, and the thorns allowed the discolored stems to fall to the ground. Trying to move his five fingers, Jude nodded with satisfaction: "Awesome, Mark's wolf venom has been completely lifted." β
Saying that, he said to Berlands, "Immediately try to inform Elder Vangati that he should stop pursuing Mark and come back to be on standby." It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and all the people are ordered to dissolve on the spot. β
Berance answered, and soon the surrounding vampires slowly dispersed. Jude then said to the thorn, "I need to recuperate for a few days." Recently, the Hunter Organization and the Holy See have been hunting non-humans everywhere, and I need to make some arrangements to get you to China safely. β
Thorn nodded: "I understand, I'll leave it to you later." β
"Of course." Jude smiled and left the docks.
More than ten minutes later, on a beach a few kilometers away, Zhang Lie and Anne walked out of the sea.
"Now that Blatter has been captured by them, what are you going to do?" Walking onto the beach, Anne said in a deep voice.
Zhang Lie shook his body and head happily, throwing the sea water on his body everywhere like an animal in the water, and turned his head when he heard it: "Don't panic, if I guess correctly, the thorn wound has come thousands of miles to capture Blatter, and he will definitely be brought back to China." We have a lot of opportunities to get people away before that. β
Anne glanced at him meaningfully: "Doesn't he have anything to do with you coming here?" β
Zhang Lie smiled innocently: "Although this guy really wants me to die, he won't run so far to chase and kill." β
"And how are you going to track their whereabouts?"
Zhang Lie raised a finger: "Don't worry, you will definitely get valuable information from Camarilla." β
"Well, I hope your self-confidence isn't trying to cover up." After a while, Anne finally nodded.
Zhang Lie breathed a sigh of relief, sometimes he really didn't know how to deal with this stubborn partner. But at this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was: "Has Annihilation also found the King of the Corpse?" Looks like it's time to review whether it's worth letting them out in the first place..."
*********************************************************
A residential area on Long Island, New York.
It is a well-known high-end residential area, with detached villas with garden pools lining tree-lined paths lined with sycamores.
At this moment, in a certain house, a person is slowly pacing in the living room.
He was none other than Lever, and after the attack on the trio failed, he fled to this makeshift hideout. From the outside, there was nothing unusual about Lever, and the wounds he had suffered in the battle were gone, and his whole body was still the same neat and well-fitting dress, and his demeanor was elegant and calm.
However, if you look closely, you can see that his shadow on the wall is restlessly writhing around, the shadow is like a human but has a single tail and two horns, which is the original form of the demon, which shows that Lever's heart is not as calm as it appears when he is defeated by Zhang Lie and the three of them.
This is a very tasteful villa, the interior decoration is gorgeous but not vulgar, the furniture and carpets are handmade, and there is a lot of value everywhere. It's no wonder that Lever would refuse the Holy See's arrangement, it's much better than the presidential suite of any five-star hotel.
However, Lively was coming to New York for the first time, where did he get the house? Looking over the fireplace, you can see a picture frame with a family of three, apparently not related to Lever.
Well, it is already clear by what means Lever got the house. Although he can't kill people on his own initiative, there are naturally countless ways for him to get what he wants.
After two more steps back and forth, Lever's gaze fell on a door in the innermost part of the hallway. After a moment's hesitation, he walked over with a wicked smile on his face.
He walked to the front of the room and pushed the door open, and in the room, a stunned John was facing Lever who opened the door and entered.
The whole room was enclosed by a large array of drawings drawn in some unknown script, and John stayed in it like a prisoner drawn in a prison, surrounded by a large number of books piled up on the floor.
He didn't suffer any harm, at least on the surface. Even compared to when he was taken away by Lever, this guy looked much better.
Looking at the stunned John, Lever smiled suddenly: "That harpy is really chasing after you." β
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ John immediately stood up and looked at Lever.
"Luckily, she had exactly what I needed." Lever said slowly.
John suddenly became excited, he rushed over in a few steps, but as if he was afraid of the charm of the enchantment, he stopped at the edge: "You bastard, what did you do to her?" β
Lever sneered: "Don't worry, I haven't done anything to her yet, although it's only a matter of time." Also, I think there's a message that you will be interested in. β
"What is it?"
Looking into John's eyes, Lever said word by word: "Not long ago, the Fourth Special Operations Group of your Annie attacked the Holy See's base in the Aegean Sea, and the entire island was blown up. The second squadron of the Knights Templar was almost completely wiped out, in addition to more than 700 ordinary guards. β
"What!?" Hearing the bad news, John was so shocked that he took a few steps back.
"I don't know what your relationship is, but you're a member of the Knights Templar who serve God, and she's a non-human. Look at what she's done, in her eyes, I'm afraid it doesn't matter if all humans are dead. With a certain demagogic tone, Lever said slowly.
John's breathing couldn't help but become heavy, and he waved his hand angrily: "Shut up! People walked back and forth anxiously. No matter how infatuated he was with Anne, John was a Templar after all, and even if he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't keep his cool after hearing the news.
"Why, why, why! Why do you kill so mercilessly, damn it, why! John kept whispering, as if he were asking Anne and blaming himself.
When they are with Anne, maybe they are not aware of the difference in each other's identities, or rather, they are both deliberately avoiding it. However, tonight, when Cassias ruthlessly tore through the cover, John finally realized what kind of side of Anne was with him.
Anne, not only the beautiful, stubborn, cold-faced and soft-hearted Anne. She is still Anne who has an incomparable hatred for human beings, Anne of the Special Operations Group, and Anne whose hands are stained with the lives of countless people...
In a moment, frustration, confusion, confusion, pain, hesitation... All the emotions welled up in John's heart. His eyes were always full of optimism and revealed deep sadness.
As if he couldn't bear so many sudden things anymore, he let out a long sigh, and John covered his face and sat down slowly.
As if pleased with John's reaction, Lever continued to say in that tone, "Die, you were doomed from the beginning... Don't forget who you are, you are a Templar, and your natural duty is to destroy these demons that are killing humanity. Don't hesitate any longer, treat her as a demon, take up your weapon, kill her, and this is to save humanity. Wake up, that harpy has been using you since the beginning..."
Demagogy is the devil's best skill, at this moment, under the "encouragement" of Levelle, John's face gradually showed a confused look, he sat down on the ground and muttered: "To kill Anne is to save mankind?" β
"Yes, if you kill her, everyone will thank you. The Pope will promote you, and you will become the greatest Templar of all time... What are you hesitating about, let's do it. Levell's voice seemed to come from far away in the sky.
John slowly stood up, with a deep dazed look on his face: "Kill Annie... The greatest Templarβ" Suddenly, a clear light flashed in his eyes.
"No, I can't do that, even if I die, I won't do anything to Anne! You devil, shut your mouth! Enraged, John rushed at Lever in desperation.
Excited, he stepped into the rune circle on the ground, and in an instant, he saw a burst of purple electricity burst out, and John's whole body was entangled. As if he had fallen into a snare, he screamed loudly under the restraint of electricity, and countless terrifying cracks appeared in his body, and he was about to die at the sight of it.
Just when John's body was about to fall apart, Lever waved his hand, the electricity dissipated, and John was immediately bounced back to the center of the enchantment, lying on the ground and moaning.
Showing a cruel smile, Lever said slowly: "Don't worry, you are still of some use, I will not kill you." But I will send her to you and kill that lowly harpy banshee in the most brutal way. β
Watching Lever's figure disappear into the hallway, John silently slammed the floor with his fists, resentful of his inability to do anything.
