"She is not your prey." Kai said to the void next to him with a slight threat. Then he raised the knife and directly cut off the head of Raquel, who had been completely 'broken'.
In the void of shadows, two low, aggrieved roars came, obviously dissatisfied with Kai for leaving the strongest and fattest girl to himself.
Of course Kai will not hand over this woman. Compared to those little guys, this woman is a vampire over three hundred years old, which is enough for Kai to get two energy points plus a full energy bar! Those minions don't have much money,
Forget it being given to dogs to grind their teeth, how could such a meal be so wasteful?
Overall, today was a fruitful day. This woman is more interesting than expected. Not only did Kai gain unprecedented energy points, but he also learned about the dealings between Tapia and vampires. Of course, this is not the biggest gain. The real gain is that
The reward was that he learned about the ecology of vampires in the modern world.
Vampires are much stronger than ordinary people, and these things are undoubtedly Kai's best 'leveling' materials at this stage. According to Kai's original estimate, he wanted to restore his strength bit by bit in modern society, and it would take less than a few decades.
There was no chance. Unexpectedly, the vampire actually jumped out at this moment.
During the First World War, although vampires were severely damaged and their numbers were severely reduced, as they entered modern society, vampires not only did not completely weaken, but followed the development of society and began to revive, and the speed of revival was very fast.
According to the information obtained from Raquel, the number of vampires in the United States alone exceeds 100,000! This was impossible to imagine during World War I. The productivity at that time was not as good as it is now, and the population and other aspects were simply insufficient.
To support the rampant development of descendants by vampires. Once there are too many vampires in an area, it is very likely to lead to a sudden increase in the disappearance and death of ordinary people. This will attract the attention of demon hunters, the Holy See and even governments, which is tantamount to seeking death.
Therefore, family planning has been implemented among vampires since very early on. If a vampire wants to develop descendants, he needs the permission of the clan elders or even the prince. If he violates this, he will be punished by solar eclipse, which means being thrown to death in the sun.
But after entering the new society, it's really a good time for vampires to catch up.
First of all, due to the civil war of the Vampire Clan that year, many of the original Vampire Secret Party leaders were killed and injured, and a large number of key members were killed in battle. In addition, after the liquidation in various European countries, after the remaining secret party leaders came to the New World with their tribesmen, the original Vampire Secret Party leaders
Some clan systems have basically completely collapsed. Although the current vampires still have the Twelve Elders as the highest authority, in fact the original system has completely collapsed. Vampires in the new era have begun to operate in small groups on this continent.
To reproduce and reproduce. They no longer call themselves a clan, but a family.
Although the Twelve Elders have certain authority, they have actually lost control over the numerous vampire families in the New World.
This also resulted in the original Six Commandments of the Camarilla being basically ignored.
Basically, most of the vampires on the North American continent grow wildly. After all, modern society is too suitable for vampires. Blood? As long as you have money. In a materialistic modern society, what can't be done with money? Even if you have it, it only means money.
Not enough given!
If I buy you 300CC of blood for US$1,000, will you sell it?
Basically, most people sell it. It’s really not that much and it’s completely harmless to the human body. Even donating blood regularly is good for the human body.
In this case, vampires live a very comfortable life. For vampires, money is the least thing to worry about.
You don't need to kill people, and you don't need to show your face to get blood. It's strange that vampires don't live a moist life.
And even if you can't resist the bloodthirsty desire in your heart, it doesn't matter. With the development of human society, urban agglomerations are getting bigger and bigger. In an international metropolis, the number of people who disappear every day is really impossible to count. The flow of people is too large, and the number of people who disappear every day is constantly increasing.
People come to big cities, and people keep leaving. Many people come and go, and no one cares at all. In Los Angeles Central City alone, 3,000 people are confirmed missing every year...that is, the kind of people who are never seen alive or dead.
Big cities have always been a favorite place for vampires. The materialism and depravity here are perfect for them. In this case, vampires really don't want to be too happy.
Again, this is a huge plus for Kai!
Although after entering modern society, Kai's desire for strength is actually not too urgent, but if there is a way to speed up the recovery of strength, why not do it? And that is a vampire! Killing too many people, Kai is afraid that he will become a murderer
Crazy, but no matter how many vampires... these things were killed, Kai would not feel the slightest bit guilty.
By chance, Kai learned from Raquel's information that there were actually many vampires hiding in Chicago.
Unlike New York, the vampire community in Chicago was unified into a whole by Dickon Firth. They are divided into more than thirty communities of different sizes and are hidden throughout the city.
There are approximately five to six thousand of these vampires.
Don't think this is a lot. For a city with a permanent population of more than 2.7 million, and including the floating population, it is not difficult at all to exceed 3 million. In such a super city, five or six thousand vampires can't even make a splash if thrown into it.
What's more, most of them don't need to hunt humans. Various blood banks and blood donation organizations controlled by vampires can perfectly solve their food ration problems.
As for why there are so many vampires hiding in the city and no one has discovered them... this problem is very complicated. First of all, vampires do not need to hunt to obtain blood, so there are fewer people dying and missing because of vampires.
Secondly, there is the relationship network of vampires. As a fallen race, all kinds of bribery and network management are as simple as breathing for them. Even if something unexpected happens, the spokesperson of vampires in human society is
It will be dealt with quickly.
Because of this, it is not easy to deal with vampires openly. If Kai were to deal with vampires as a policeman, let alone how to explain to others why vampires exist and how they were discovered. Let's just talk about the relationship network run by vampires.
It's troublesome enough.
But what if it was Hannibal?
That's no problem. You can't see the light anyway, and if you fight to the death in the darkness, it won't affect society under the sun.
"Then the hunt begins!"
…
Just when Kai started hunting vampires as Hannibal, on the other side, the Chicago Police Department finally became anxious.
"Hey! Kai, did you hear me? Why have you been absent-minded these past two days?"
"Ah?" Kai seemed to wake up suddenly and said in a daze: "What's the matter?"
Deputy Director Cooper was a little helpless. "Are you okay?"
Kai shook his head. "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."
Dual-line operation is a challenge for Kai. At least Kai can't adapt to it perfectly now. This thing takes some time. Usually it's fine, but when the main body is caught in the battle, the clone is a little unable to react.
This stuff takes a lot of practice to get used to.
"What did you just say?" No, he didn't hear a word of what Deputy Director Cooper just said.
Cooper reluctantly repeated what he said.
"You mean to let me take the HBT to hunt gang members?" Kai stared at Director Cooper in front of him with wide eyes.
"No, it's not hunting, it's to stop gang wars! It's important to remember this. I don't want to receive a lot of complaints that we often abuse force." Cooper curled his lips and corrected Kai's statement.
Although that is what he said, in fact, the "final plan" that Cooper gave Kai was exactly what he meant. All gangs that merged during this period, no matter which gang they were, would be destroyed! Moreover, they had the highest authority and could be shot to death.
That kind of.
To put it bluntly, the police department finally couldn't stand the current chaos in Chicago and planned to use force to deter the gangsters. For this reason, the Chicago Police Department also boldly handed over HBT to Kai to command.
Kai led HBT in Chicago in 2008. At that time, Kai led a few of his brothers in a surprise attack on a gang lair. They went up from the first floor of a public building and killed dozens of people, and followed him.
There were no casualties in the HBT.
It is precisely because of this experience that the Chicago Police Department is very comfortable letting Kai command HBT. And HBT has no objection to this.
Capable people will be respected wherever they go.
Kai didn't listen to Cooper's nonsense. Although this guy always had a hot temper and was selfless, in fact, this guy has reached his current position and is already a politician. The position of police chief in a big city like Chicago is not at all
It's not something that a hot-tempered police officer who only knows how to handle cases can achieve. If you really want to climb to Cooper's current position, your political skills are almost impossible. So don't look at his righteousness.
In effect, Kai and HBT are given a license to kill!
"Aren't you afraid that public opinion will spray you to death if you do this?"
The United States always talks about human rights and treats criminals with disgusting weakness. Kai saw a news. When a serial murderer was on trial, the family members of the victims came on stage one by one, hoping that the jury would give a heavy verdict.
A family member of the victim walked up and told the murderer that he forgave the murderer...
At that time, everyone in the courtroom was extremely moved. Even the serial murderer was moved to tears.
Then this incident was publicized everywhere and became a propaganda material for anti-death penalty organizations. They claimed that the death penalty is inhumane and should be influenced by love and so on.
Kai's first reaction when he saw the news was, what about the victims? What about the family members who are unwilling to forgive the murderer? They can't even have their reasonable demands met? They are even accused by public opinion of not having forgiveness.
.
What the hell!
In this public opinion environment, if the police make any outrageous move, they will be criticized immediately. Old Americans pay special attention to this. Not to mention that Chicago actually authorized Kay to shoot any gang members who have a fight. This is simply
murder!
Cooper smiled mysteriously and said, "Young man, don't you know that public opinion can be manipulated?"
The United States will always be a country controlled by capital. If capital needs it, it would be too simple to turn black into white. Those media claim to be the uncrowned king, but so what? Isn’t the media in the hands of capital?
Killing people does touch some people's nerves, but what if they don't know?
What’s the biggest thing happening in Chicago these days?
Naturally, it is the Stark Industry Expo. This is the best opportunity to boost Chicago's economy. The upper class of Chicago also attaches great importance to this. Both the business and political circles can no longer tolerate the fact that Chicago has already
The situation is close to getting out of control.
This is related to their own interests. Politicians need a good city image to win votes for the next election, and businessmen need a good investment environment to make more profits. After the two major classes that control Chicago reach an agreement, everything changes.
It's got to be simple.
kill?
As long as there is no reward, it is equivalent to nothing.
Kai can kill hundreds of people, but by then, the number of deaths known to the public can be in single digits!
That’s how pissy it is!
"Then how far can I go?" Kai asked directly.
Cooper didn't speak, just smiled mysteriously.
Kai understood.
Although gangsters will not gain much soul power, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are! Besides, it is natural for the police to beat thieves.
"By the way, I heard that several of your brothers are also in Chicago now?" Cooper suddenly asked.
"Not bad, what's wrong?"
"You can bring them with you."
Kai did not speak, but looked directly at Cooper. There is no such thing as selfless dedication in America.
"Don't worry, we will give them the commission they deserve. And we promise to keep all of your identities confidential."
"I will ask them." Kai did not make the decision for his brothers. Let's see what they choose. With all the Haitian gang dead, their security mission is naturally over. If you want to make extra money, you can also help.
…
Night falls again.
"We are under attack!" A pale man in a suit hammered the table in a dark room and yelled at others: "We must react!"
An old man sat at the end of the round table, his hands folded on the crutches, his chin resting on his hands, his eyes cold and gloomy. "Do you know who did it? A demon hunter? Or another family? Or a mutant?"
There are many enemies of vampires. After all, the dark world is really not that big. If there are more vampires, there will naturally be fewer others.
Not to mention the witchers, they are mortal enemies with vampires. When they meet, it’s life and death. There are many hunters in the United States who specialize in hunting vampires. However, most of the ones they hunt are blood slave-level scum. Really noble vampires are very rare.
It's not only a matter of style that you rarely fight rude witchers, but also because although North American witchers are much weaker than real orthodox witchers, they are like mad dogs. Once caught,
If you press your tail, there will be a steady stream of demon hunters chasing you.
This would cause real vampires trouble, and the gain would outweigh the losses.
Therefore, real vampires rarely expose themselves to witchers.
As for mutants, these people can also be regarded as enemies of vampires, but most of the time, the two sides do not interact too much because both sides think that the other is trouble.
The real enemies of vampires are actually other vampires!
As mentioned before, vampires are now divided into small groups and grow wildly. This brings another problem. There are always a few good territories. For example, big cities are certainly much better than remote areas, but those territories are divided up by big families.
If other families want a share of the pie, or even more, the best way is to defeat other vampire families.
Therefore, wars between vampire families are very frequent.
"No...it's a man named Hannibal." A middle-aged man with a serious face said in a low voice.
"Hannibal?" The old man felt as if he had heard this name before.
"A perverted murderer." Someone immediately added.
The old man frowned, obviously not understanding how such a person could be related to them.
"Last night, all three families in Beicheng were killed, leaving only one frightened blood slave. This name came out of his mouth. So far, five families have been destroyed, and there are
Many humans who work for us have also been killed. As just said, we must respond. Otherwise, our deterrence will be reduced! Those humans who work for us have begun to waver."
When the old man heard this, he nodded slowly.
"Indeed, the glory of the vampires cannot be desecrated. But we need a detailed plan. The best threat is not to take action easily. Once action is taken but has no effect, people will no longer be afraid of threats."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah." A burst of applause came from the dark room.
Several participants were stunned at first, and then their expressions changed drastically.
"It's so well said. It reminds me of Vito Don Corleone's lines. Oh, I really love this movie." Everyone saw a handsome man dressed well and with a London RP accent.
He walked into the conference room as if there was no one around. "It's a pity... such a good line was actually used by a blood-sucking bedbug. It is simply the greatest insult to the godfather."
After saying that, the man pulled out a non-reflective dagger.
