Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

"Pah! If it were my own business, you wouldn't be able to escape it. How about this, I'll come find you, and I'll invite Quan'er too, the three of us brothers can have a meal together and talk things over."

……

"Hey, Fatty's here, come sit down, come sit down." Gou Quan greeted the fat man who had just entered and asked him to sit down. "I heard from Zhao Hao that you're treating this time, so I didn't eat last night."

The fat man ordered a few more dishes, and the three of them ate and talked.

"A while ago, a vampire from the Demon Clan caused a ruckus in the Inner World and is said to have escaped to the Surface World. This guy is one of the radicals in the Demon Clan, the kind who treats people like livestock. But he must have someone backing him, so he didn't die despite all that trouble."

"As a result, an enemy from his otherworld came looking for revenge. He's a werewolf. But that vampire is too good at hiding, we really can't find him, so I'd like to ask you for help in finding him."

Zhao Hao asked in surprise, "How come you've expanded your network to include demi-humans, Fatty? You even know werewolves?"

The fat man waved his hand dismissively, annoyed. "What business is it of mine? I don't know that little wolf cub. It's just that an acquaintance in the Red Gate asked me for a favor. They helped me a lot before, and now they're asking me for a small help, so of course I can't refuse."

"Red Gate? If the Red Gate is so capable, why doesn't it just take action directly? The Red Gate has so many informants and is very well-informed!"

The fat man tilted his head and whispered, "It's not as simple as you think. First of all, this is his private matter. He had an affair with this little wolf cub's cousin..."

The werewolf's cousin is also a werewolf! Playing this wildly?

"Wow!" Zhao Hao and Gou Quan exclaimed in admiration at the same time.

The fat man continued, "Besides, the Red Gate cannot openly interfere in anything concerning the demi-humans, otherwise it will cause a big misunderstanding, and many forces will be nervous. Big things have their own difficulties, and affecting one thing can have far-reaching consequences."

Zhao Hao and Gou Quan were still reminiscing about the brave warrior from the Red Gate who dared to sleep with the wolf.

"So, he came to me, hoping I could help him. Even if I can't help that little wolf cub find the vampire, I have to save his life and not let him die in the real world. That little cub hasn't been in the real world for long, and he's very wild. Plus, it seems his fiancée was killed by that vampire, so he's going crazy."

Zhao Hao agreed to this.

Just as the fat man couldn't refuse his friend's request, Zhao Hao also gave the fat man face.

He didn't recognize the werewolf, but the fat guy was his good buddy.

Besides, it's nothing more than that. If all else fails, he can report it to Colt. Colt can't allow a radical vampire to run rampant in Liberty City.

This is the benefit of siding with the "imperial court" and becoming a hawk to seize power; you can utilize official authority.

The fat man wasn't completely unprepared when he came to Zhao Hao for help.

Although the vampire had some connections, and some prophecies and divinations were affected, the fat man still spent money to buy some valuable information from the Eye of Fate, an intelligence organization in the underworld. This allowed him to roughly pinpoint the vampire's area of ​​activity.

It's in the most chaotic part of Queens.

Liberty City is an international metropolis with a resident population of nearly eight million, making it more prosperous and influential than Amis's capital.

Not only do many people from within Amerinsha come here to make a living and seek development, but many immigrants and visa tourists from other countries also choose to try their luck here.

The wealthier areas are fine; both the infrastructure and public security are quite good. Police cars patrol eight times a day.

But in some neighborhoods of Queens, like the impoverished area where Gou Quan lived, you wouldn't see the police for a week without calling the police. It's a melting pot of all sorts of people: drug addicts, prostitutes, smugglers, gangsters, undocumented immigrants, low-income laborers, homeless people, and terminally ill patients waiting to die…

To put it simply, even the local gangs that collect protection money don't know who's in their territory.

After all, the population here is very mobile and diverse. People get killed in the alleys every now and then, either from an overdose of needles or from being shot by a disgruntled robber. It's impossible to solve cases, or rather, no one reports them, so they simply don't file any cases. After all, the white police officers in America aren't very patient with this kind of thing and prefer to let people fend for themselves.

This led to a complete loss of control over these areas by the authorities. Even agencies like the CIA, FBI, and the Secret Service, with only a few informants, were just as confused.

If a vampire were hiding in a place like that, let's just say it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Of course, vampires need to eat. And this guy who left his clan to live on his own is a radical member of the demonic faction.

Vampires are divided into two factions: the Secret Society is more honest, values ​​keeping a low profile, and is dependent on human society.

However, the vampire faction is much more radical, believing themselves to be superior beings, beings far more advanced than humans. After all, vampires are considered extraordinary beings.

However, this world is still primarily human-dominated, so the vampires can only indulge in their own fantasies behind closed doors. They dare not really go too far, because going too far would result in deaths.

However, newly born vampires born in that environment cannot escape their inner pride. It's like being taught from childhood to be proud of your country, a great nation with thousands of years of history, now rising again in prosperity and strength... only to be treated as a second-rate entity in your own country.

Nobody can stand it.

This vampire is probably the most radical and the most unbearable type.

Furthermore, the fat man's information also indicated that this guy likely has someone secretly supporting him, most likely old-timers from the Demon Party. They themselves don't dare to take the lead, but they incite these radical young vampires to cause trouble.

If he succeeds in the end, the evil party will definitely take action. If he fails and is killed, that's his private matter and has nothing to do with us.

……

Lestat, who has been a vampire for about 60 years, is said to have been a Dutch officer during World War I and a representative of the radical vampire faction in the nearly ten years since the revival of psychic powers.

As for who embraced them and turned them into vampires, only their clan knows the answer.

Vampires are superhuman beings, not demi-humans. They can transform humans into vampires through the Embrace.

However, each embrace results in a loss of one's own power, and in addition, according to internal regulations, parents who embrace a new vampire must act as guardians. Therefore, vampires generally do not do this.

Of course, vampires live for hundreds of years, and over time their mental state deteriorates, making them capable of anything.

In the legends of the surface world, vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies. There is some basis to this, but this werewolf is not a werewolf among demi-humans.

Those werewolves that spread through biting and become infected, spawning new werewolves that run rampant and kill uncontrollably on the night of the full moon, are not the original species. They were most likely created thousands or tens of thousands of years ago by some mysterious god or an unknown being from another world.

The werewolf among demi-humans may be the original template for that kind of werewolf.

These two extraordinary beings are highly targeted and targeted in the surface world because neither is a normal extraordinary being and both pose a danger to humans and other intelligent life forms. They must not be allowed to uncheck their power and increase their numbers.

However, vampires, who are so deeply entrenched in the surface world that even the period of spiritual dormancy couldn't completely eradicate them, are difficult to eliminate completely.

In America, for example, because it is a new immigrant country, unlike Europe which has so many old-fashioned supernatural forces, there are two vampire clans developing here, and they are doing quite well.

Even Colt knew that some of Ame's higher-ups had close ties to vampires. Perhaps they were even hoping to become immortal vampires and continue enjoying life when they grew old.

After all, the vampire hunter Lord Lincoln, who once again wielded the Cherry Blossom Axe, was ultimately assassinated.

……

Zhao Hao sought Sylvia's help, and after two days, they finally painted a related prophecy.

It was a ballroom where people were wearing masks and dancing together. Through a window, Zhao Hao spotted a landmark building.

While we can't pinpoint the exact location yet, we're pretty close to it. Finding it once we get there will be much easier.

As mentioned before, vampires need to drink blood.

An extreme vampire like Lestat would never drink animal blood, and would not even bother with artificial blood plasma or frozen blood.

He would inevitably drink the blood of living people, so he would definitely leave clues...

------------

Chapter 128 The Art of Survival

"Because the drawing is rudimentary, it doesn't show the sun's position, so we can only roughly determine that it's within this range." Zhao Hao drew a circle around the landmark buildings on the map.

Wow, that's quite a large area.

Zhao Hao had Gou Quan drive, while he himself drove around the car, using the "Fate Prompt" camera to search for clues.

Every now and then, I would observe the aura to see if there was anything unusual. You know, maybe because it was too chaotic here, those clusters of aura, big and small, were incredibly bizarre. Some here were destined for wealth, while others were destined for bloodshed. One cluster even formed a raging fire – was it going to ignite or burst into flames?

Besides Gou Quan and the other two, there was also a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old in the car.

His skin was dark brown, like that of a Latin American. But his long hair was messy, and he exuded a wildness, especially his eyes, which were incredibly untamed.

This is Lawrence, the werewolf seeking revenge.

While infiltrating Liberty City through the Underworld, bypassing the Bureau of Mysteries' defenses, the vampire Lestat killed Lawrence's fiancée in a werewolf settlement not far from the market.

Lawrence vowed revenge and tracked after them.

But Lestat, that vampire, has lived for eighty or ninety years. He's cunning and has powerful backers, yet you, a werewolf not even twenty, managed to find him. He doesn't even know he has such an enemy; he doesn't care.

However, werewolves also have families. Lawrence's cousin, through her old lover in the Red Gate, managed to get through to the fat man.

However, this little wolf cub is a bit ungrateful. Perhaps he's used to being wild in the inner world, because he still dares to act recklessly in the outer world.

With that menacing attitude, like she's about to suffocate you, it would be strange if the Ami police didn't teach her a lesson.

Even if Fatty and Zhao Hao find him, he still won't accept it.

Zhao Hao wasn't one to spoil children, so he immediately gave them a severe beating.

Let's be reasonable!

He wasn't convinced after the first explanation, so he continued. Zhao Hao was just worried about not having a punching bag; his punches felt much more satisfying than hitting a punching bag.

Moreover, werewolves have strong regenerative abilities, so there's no need to worry about damaging them.

Fatty and Gou Quan gave Zhao Hao a thumbs up: He's good at fighting, a pro!

Using a combination of persuasion and coercion, they managed to tame this wild boy somewhat.

Lawrence wasn't stupid; in this world, he could barely move an inch, let alone seek revenge. It was just that his nature made him defiant against the weak. Now, he knew who the strong were. Sitting obediently in the car, he was quite well-behaved.

……

About twenty minutes later, Zhao Hao suddenly noticed something different.

There was a surging, blood-red aura, which only appears after many people have died.

"Stop the car and let's go. Let's get out and ask around."

This area consists of old, dilapidated, and impoverished communities. It's very chaotic and the environment is poor. Some of the old buildings are already half-abandoned, and many windows on the first and second floors have been nailed shut with wooden strips.

Zhao Hao even spotted a group of large rats squeaking around in a nearby alleyway that reeked of foul odor.

People around the neighborhood were staring at Zhao Hao and his two companions as they got out of the car. Lawrence remained inside; Zhao Hao had instructed him not to get out unless he was told to. This continued until they found the vampire Lestat.

These people are not friendly at all; in fact, they would be more than happy to take money from these outsiders if the opportunity presented itself.

As long as the three people are ten meters away from the car, someone will dare to get close to the car and try to pry open the window to steal something.

In their view, this is not shameful at all; it's a means of survival. Getting something is a win, it shows you're capable.

Zhao Hao took out a five-dollar bill and handed it to a shabby stall owner. "Boss, here you go..."

Zhao Hao looked around. The cigarettes were obviously fake, and the other goods looked old and dusty. He was completely at a loss as to what to buy.

The black stall owner looked indifferently at the banknotes Zhao Hao handed over.

"Fine, I don't want anything. Just answer a few questions for me, and this banknote is yours. How about it?"

The middle-aged black man immediately flashed a bright white smile and reached out to take the banknotes: "Of course, of course! Old Tracy has lived here for ten years, there's nothing I don't know."
