A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Two teams of them had already been injected with the lab's first product—serum isolated from a living creature.

That thing brought them many times stronger physical fitness than before, but deprived them of the right to eat, drink, and walk in the sun.

However, for their own reasons, they have no complaints about this... Maybe it is to make more money, maybe it is to experience the thrill of life and death, or maybe they just like the superiority of controlling other people's fate. Those who are reformed are all voluntary.

Only those soldiers who want to become "Knife of Britain" can hope to pass the rigorous inspection, have the right to know the location of the laboratory and receive serum injections.

Originally, these super soldiers would have to go through a period of testing before being put into the battlefield; but now that the matter is urgent, there is no time to test or not. They put on specially customized opaque combat uniforms, Hastily got into the armed personnel carrier helicopter.

In the first battle after the transformation, the two teams had to face the same creatures as themselves.

"It's daytime, why are the vampires raiding the lab at this time?" On the helicopter after takeoff, the sergeant major who was in charge of leading the team asked his commander while taking the time to read the mission briefing.

The officer tapped his black helmet and pointed to his full-face mask: "Of course we can think of others."

While the two helicopters were quickly flying towards the urban area of ​​Islington, the British government was also dealing with a pile of lawsuits.

Originally, the time a while ago was to catch the vampire Marcus and make the whole of London go crazy; if another news is leaked this time, maybe this cabinet will step down...even the safety of the capital There is no guarantee, and the biological laboratory is located in a densely populated area. If the news spreads, the opposition party will not immediately fight chicken blood?

To make matters worse, it seems that the laboratory is no longer as secretive as the high-level officials thought... Just now the ambassadors of France, Germany, Russia and even Turkey called the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and they were cryptic Said: You should stop pretending, we all know that you are messing around in London, let us know what good things you have researched, so that we can "avoid misjudgment".

The foreign minister almost smashed the table, why do foreign ambassadors know things that I don't know? !

There is also bad news from the intelligence department. Before the combat team arrived at the scene, they had already notified the temporary headquarters established for this incident: All countries can see London. Satellites are staring at Islington. It can be expected that other countries Spies will also gather near the laboratory, trying to pry into the secrets.

From the perspective of external monitoring, there are already signs of personnel activity in that building. I am afraid that the experimenters inside will come out soon.

After asking for the list of people in the building and studying it carefully, the top officer of the headquarters decisively decided to ask the police in the Islington area to evacuate the surrounding people, and no matter what, the news must not be leaked.

Moreover, the two troop-transport helicopters received their first mission immediately before landing.

"V-Alpha Squad, V-Bravo Squad, convey the latest order to your headquarters... use the air-to-surface missiles mounted randomly to destroy the ground part of the 'Bat'. Repeat, immediately use the air-to-surface missiles to destroy the ground part of the 'Bat' part!"

"Alpha received."

"Bravo received."

The two helicopters responded calmly, targeting the building where the laboratory was located, and were about to press the launch button of the missile.

But at this moment, they seemed to hear a sigh at the same time.

The helicopter, which was flying forward at a slight angle to the front, suddenly stopped in place, and the sound of the rotating propeller and the vibration of the fuselage also disappeared in an instant.

The "vampires" in the team turned their heads unconsciously, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in the cabin.

Uncle Jiu dusted off his blue Taoist robe, squinted his eyes, and shook his head.

"You can't carve rotten wood." He whispered, raised his eyes, and looked at the people around him with anger.

The blazing whiteness that was overflowing from those eyes, even through some so-called "opaque material", directly pierced into the bodies of these combatants.

First, the first soldier who saw the Taoist priest screamed and covered his face, and then the helicopter was filled with screams.

Their strong flesh injected with serum is rapidly disintegrating, as if standing naked in the sun, the burning pain went straight to the sky, and then fell silent after a while, leaving only the metal floor of the helicopter Pile after pile of ashes.

Among the two teams, only the "chief officer" on helicopter No. 1 who had not been modified in the laboratory survived, staring at Uncle Jiu in a daze.

The helicopter, which has not lost power, is still flying forward, and the command urgently asks through the radio: "Squad, report quickly! You have deviated from the course and flew past the area where the 'bat' is! Report quickly!"

The "sir" was suddenly awakened by the sound of the radio, and when he looked forward, where was the shadow of the Taoist priest in the cabin?

But the dozen or so clumps of ashes wrapped in the "opaque uniform" told him clearly that the scene just now was not a dream. Someone really came in and wiped out his team, even fully armed, None of the pilots who looked directly at the man survived.

"Alpha Squad, Bravo Squad, your plane is losing control! Answer from the cockpit! Answer from the cockpit!"

The voice of the radio at the headquarters had become a little hysterical, but no one could answer him.

The tail fins of the two helicopters finally twisted together after a period of unmanned flight, and the main rotor was also broken by the opponent's fuselage, and flew out and fell into the land in the suburbs.

The fuselage of the helicopter soon became a mass of scrap iron, and then burned, collapsed, and crashed beside the road.

In the headquarters, the major general officer who was in charge of directing the operation tore off the radio from his ear and fell to the ground. He took a few breaths, stared at the satellite image on the screen in front of him, and announced in a heavy tone: "The helicopter crashed." In the outskirts, the Alpha team and the Bravo team have visually estimated that there are no survivors... Do it! Do it!"

On the other side of the direction where the helicopter crashed, a few hundred meters away from the "Bat" laboratory, the werewolf William used his healthy hand to push away the concrete wall smashed by him in front of him, and came to the underground parking of another building field.

Marcus, who was caught under his other arm, didn't have much strength. He barely raised his head to look around. Just as he was about to say something, another gunshot came from the cave behind.

... The surroundings of the earth cave were squeezed by William's huge body all the way, and the soil was almost compacted. Selene and her death walkers chased faster and faster.

William took a few more silver bullets, screamed in pain and ran forward, but within a few steps he came to the side of the elevator shaft, knocked open the door, jumped up, and grabbed the wall of the elevator shaft with one hand. Climb all the way.

The death walkers who followed into the parking lot were all shocked. What kind of monster is this?Still have this kind of operation?

"Don't lose heart, keep chasing...he won't be able to escape very far, let's go to the roof!"

Selene said, and took the death walkers to the top floor by the stairs on the other side.

But after a while, William smashed through the ceiling of the building and jumped to the top of the building, carefully placing Marcus under his arm in the shadow of his huge body.

At this time, the sun on the roof is also shining brightly.

Ninth Uncle wearing Taoist robes seemed to be floating in the water, and slowly sank from above impotently. His cloth shoes stepped on the cement on the roof, with his back to the sun, and said to this "irrational" werewolf: " That one over there...he's turned back into a human. Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The only answer to him was the howling of angry wolves.

Seeing that it wanted to rush over, but cared about Marcus lying under his feet, and didn't move, Uncle Jiu sighed indiscernibly.

He took a small step forward, and the distance of more than ten meters seemed to disappear suddenly. In the blink of an eye, he came to the werewolf William, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on its hairy chest.

William's chest shrank back suddenly. It wasn't that it saw the opponent's attack clearly and dodged subconsciously, but that the bones in his chest collapsed due to the palm of Uncle Ninth's palm... This palm seemed to have the weight of an entire mountain range. The weight caused its heart to shatter into several pieces in the chest cavity. Even the ancestor werewolf with strong recovery ability and superior physical strength could not bear this kind of injury.

The protruding mouth of the werewolf trembled twice, the pupils dilated, and there was a trace of humanity on the face of the monster. There seemed to be a thousand words to say in the eyes, but in the end, he still didn't say a word, just fell like this fell to the ground.

Behind it, Selene and the death walker team finally climbed up from the stairs.

Selene, who was wearing a gas mask, came here and poked the werewolf William's broad back with the gun in his hand to confirm that it was indeed dead, then looked back at Marcus, who was still breathing.

"...Ah...William..."

The man who was no longer a vampire looked at his brother's body and said so.

"It doesn't look like it's completely irrational...or maybe it's his instinct to protect you and not hurt you." Selene said, taking a deep breath—all her tasks have been completed.

"Kill me too... I don't want to live as a human anymore."

Marcus coughed twice and begged Selene.

Selene was silent for a while, then raised the gun in his hand to him.

Chapter 26 Emotion

Just when Selene was about to pull the trigger, the people on the roof suddenly heard the sound of the helicopter rotor again.

Not long after, a large helicopter rose up from the side of the building and hovered over several people.

A group of men in black quickly descended and sealed William's body into a huge coffin hanging under the plane; Open fire... This is just a father's sad wish to take a look at his son before he dies. To show my goodwill and trust in you, I ask you to come together, and you don't need to disarm at all."

Selene couldn't help looking at Uncle Jiu, who nodded easily.

This group of people is indeed not malicious... They are ordinary humans, and they don't even carry weapons, otherwise they should have been smashed into a sieve by the focused fire of the storm pulse rifle the moment they landed on the roof.

Selene thought for a while, but didn't take off the gas mask, but said to the team members behind: "I'll go with them, you go back and wait for my news... If I don't come back, go to Elder Amelia."

Uncle Jiu also silently followed her footsteps. We are all guests of that tavern...or as Boss Xue said, we are all friends.

The people in black finished their work, picked up Marcus, put him on the plane, and flew away in another direction with Selene and Uncle Ninth.

In a certain command post in the distance, there is a group of people who are incompetent and furious.

"Why did the monitoring signal disappear for a few minutes just now! What about the satellite image? What happened to the satellite image? Who can tell me what happened there! The ground force, the conventional force, drive me over and block the entire Islington area! No! Anyone can come in or out!"

The commander roared, completely unaware that he had lost his last chance to save everything.

The death walker troops have withdrawn quickly. Some of the researchers in the underground base are still squatting in fear, while the other courageous ones have opened the sealed door and walked out. They found that the enemies in the building have already left.

Due to the striking crash of two helicopters in the outskirts... Now this place is not only being watched by the intelligence agencies of various countries, but even a lot of media have come here.

If the commander had time to turn on the TV and take a look, he would find that all the major channels were broadcasting breaking news, and they would connect with live reporters in the Islington area during the live broadcast.

When the time came in the evening, the top management of the UK managed to deal with the beginning and the end. They made up an excuse for terrorists to attack London and gave it to the media. They fought with other countries in the diplomatic arena, controlled all the researchers, and strictly blocked the news. The scope of circulation began to search for the lost experimental product—namely, the two brothers Marcus and William.

At the beginning of this doomed fruitless search, Selene had already arrived on a large cruise ship moored in Brighton port.

Those men in black didn't say a word as if they were dumb. They took her and Uncle Jiu to the captain's cabin, put Marcus down on the sofa, and then quietly disappeared outside the door.

The light in the captain's cabin was not turned on. If Selene wasn't a vampire, she might not be able to see a person sitting behind the opposite table in the dim light of the evening.

The man was silent for a while, as if he had just realized that there was a guest in the captain's cabin, he said briefly: "Sorry."

As the voice fell, he also turned a switch next to him to turn on the light above.

"... People will start to feel nostalgic when they get old. The light of this gas lamp may be a bit dim, you two..."

"You are not an ordinary senior." Uncle Jiu said with a smile.

"I'm a vampire." Selene replied.

The old man with snow-white hair and beard on the opposite side, but still looks young and full of energy, also smiled, and said to the two of them, "Let me introduce myself... I am Alexander Corvinus, also known as Marku Father of Stan and William. I'm neither a vampire nor a werewolf, just a normal guy who lived a little longer...

"I owe you a lot of explanations. First of all, you are actually curious about the origin of vampires and werewolves, right? Long story short, after a plague, my... 'genes' changed, I no longer aged, no longer sick, suffered Any injury heals quickly. When I got married and had Marcus and William, I found that they had this peculiar constitution, just like me.

"I thought it was a good thing...

"But then something happened when the two of them went hunting in the mountains. William was attacked by wolves and was bitten despite fighting bravely; Marcus fell into a cave and was bitten by a bat in the cave.

"Both of them had a fever when they came back, and a few days later, William started to grow long hair, and Marcus's face was getting paler...you should know what happened next. "

Selene interrupted suddenly and asked, "What about Mike Cowen? He is also your descendant, right?"

"Yes, he is the offspring of my original wife who gave birth to a child before I was separated from my family in the war and remarried. Please understand that that era is not a time when a person can live as he wants... I even reached Generations later, it was discovered that the children before me had survived and had descendants."

Alexander nodded, walked up to Marcus who was already struggling to sit up, stared into his eyes, and said to his son: "And for hundreds of thousands of years... I have been watching you secretly, I My children. I use the power I have accumulated over the years to help you erase the traces of your existence, so that you and humans can maintain a certain degree of peace and harmony. If it weren’t for the recent disturbances you have caused too much and attracted A country uses the army to end in person, and I will not risk appearing in front of you."

"Old man...we didn't ask for your help." Marcus replied, staring at him, "you're a cold-blooded person...you never cared about us, and it's all because of you that William and I are here The bullshit 'gene'. Are you happy to be immortal? Are you happy? When you abandoned us and enjoyed the long life, William was losing his mind and being hunted by humans, and I was almost tied to the stake several times, regardless of food You can't taste anything... Now that William is dead, I think you can finally rest easy!"

Alexander stretched out his hand to put it on top of his son's head, but his son slapped it away impatiently.

He pursed his lips and continued: "No...Marcus, you are my son. If I didn't care about you, you would have been hunted and killed by humans hundreds of years ago. No matter how powerful you become Creatures, you can't fight against tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of human beings. The best result is just like this time, being caught and providing them with blood forever!

"You're not surprised, how did you catch William so easily last time? I secretly helped Victor, helped him find William, and built the prison where William was held."

Seeing that his son still refused to pay attention to him, Alexander sighed, walked back to his seat, sat down weakly, turned his head to look at Selene and Ninth Uncle, nodded to them, and said, "Thank you …relieves the pain of Marcus and William. I think from now on, I don’t have to worry about their two races anymore.”

Selene snorted, pointed at Alexander, and said in a cold tone: "Your son is right, you are a cold-blooded person. You are not a vampire, you are not a werewolf, but you are not human... You are not willing to bear the burden Human responsibility, but come to thank me for helping you with your personal problems. I despise your sick existence, Immortal, Alexander Corvinus."

After all, she stood up and was about to go out, not wanting to see this disgusting father and son again.

Just now Alexander said that William was captured because he was behind the scenes, right?And the establishment of prisons?

So, doesn't he also ignore Victor's brutality against her family?

Not only that, Marcus and the vampires he created have been committing atrocities against humans for hundreds of years.She is also a vampire herself, maybe she has no position to say these words, but vampires are the source of bloody crimes for hundreds of years!

Alexander Corvinus ignored all this and only wanted to keep his sons alive. Was he a good father?But he abandoned his two sons again, preferring to stay in the dark for hundreds of years, erasing the traces of their existence one by one, rather than really face and deal with the problem.

sick.

Nothing to say other than morbid.

Selene stormed out of the cabin without being stopped.The men in black seemed to be ignoring her, not even looking up as she sprang from the deck and hopped a few hundred yards in the night to the port.

Alexander in the captain's cabin was silent again.

After a long time, he said to Uncle Jiu who was about to get up and leave: "I don't know how you did such a thing, but it seems that he is no longer that monster... I am going to let Marcus stay with me By my side, watching him live and die as an ordinary human being."

"As far as Lin knows, this is what that lady originally thought. It was your son who begged her to kill him." Uncle Jiu replied, "If you are like most people in this world, you believe that There is a reason for my existence... I hope you can figure it out soon. This is all Lin said, and I will leave."

After he finished speaking, he also walked out, and he suddenly disappeared. It can be said that he came without a trace and went without a trace.

[67. No. 67]

At the height of the port, Selene, who wanted to leave, now remembered that there was another person who came with her, and was hesitating whether to go back to find him.

But... just now, he uttered harsh words and jumped away angrily. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go back now?

If it were her who had never been to that tavern, she might not have cared about it at all... But during this period of time, she has found her heart, and she is completely different from people like Alexander, Marcus, and Victor. different.

"Miss Selene... what are you doing here?"

Uncle Jiu suddenly spoke behind her, startling the vampire.

Chapter 27 New Mission

The lights in Brighton Harbor were bright all night, and the cruise ship was untying its cables and slowly sailing out of the berth, not knowing where it was going.

Selene was squatting on top of a gantry crane that was not moving, her gray protective clothing was shaking slightly in the night wind.
