America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

Wade put on his red and black combat uniform and brought all his weapons, leaving Harry speechless.

“We’ll sign your autograph after we rescue him,” Wade told Harry.

Dr. Banner glanced at his watch, timed it perfectly, and dripped Harry's blood onto the painting again. The entrance to the world within the painting opened, and Dr. Banner retrieved Harry's wristwatch.

"Time is passing at roughly the same rate, which is good," Dr. Banner said.

"I can't wait any longer, let's go in?" Wade urged.

“Not yet, we need someone to guard this place for us,” Dr. Banner said.

“That’s right! If no one opens the door for us, and we can’t find a way to open it from inside, we’ll be stuck in the painting forever,” Wade said.

“I’ll open the door for you,” Harry said.

“That’s not necessarily true. If you suddenly decide to keep your father in there, we’re finished,” Wade said.

Dr. Banner, head down, typed a text message and sent it to Li Qun and Peter.

“I’ll have Peter and Liqun come over to be the gatekeepers,” Dr. Banner said.

"You know Peter and Lillian?" Harry looked at Dr. Banner with a puzzled expression.

“There’s a lot you don’t know!” Wade said to Harry.

“If you want to inherit the family fortune and refuse to open the door for us, Li Qun will make your nose bleed so you'll open the door for us,” Wade emphasized.

“I’m not that kind of person,” Harry said, sounding a little angry.

Chapter 392 Hulk vs. Vampire

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Peter looked down at his toes, while Li Qun stared at Harry, waiting for him to speak.

"Hot black tea."

"Thank you, Bernard."

Peter turned his gaze to the teacup, examining the bird depicted on it closely.

“Peter, look at me.”

Harry looked at Peter, his gaze falling short of Lillian's.

“I thought we were best friends, that we had no secrets from each other,” Harry said to Peter.

"Uh……"

Peter put down his teacup; the hot tea was steaming and burning his mouth.

"Harry, you can't blame us."

“Actually, the first person to become a mage apprentice was Li Qun; I became Dr. Banner’s student later than Li Qun,” Peter said.

“If it weren’t for this accident, Harry, you might not have known this secret for many years,” Li Qun said to Harry.

Bernard brought over three chairs and a table, and had Harry, Peter, and Li Qun sit by the snow mountain painting, each with a cup of hot tea in front of them, as if they were having a tea party in a garden.

“Actually, Li Qun did hint to us that he could do magic,” Peter said.

“Okay.” Harry looked at the painting.

“Harry, the way you’re acting so awkward is like when you’re arguing with your best friend in kindergarten,” Li Qun complained.

"What are the requirements to become Dr. Banner's magical apprentice? Besides being intelligent?" Harry asked.

“You need to have a sense of justice, a sense of responsibility, the courage to sacrifice, and loyalty to humanity,” Li Qun said.

"Loyalty to humanity..."

“Liqun, do you mean magical creatures actually exist? Like goblins and ghouls?” Harry asked.

“It’s true, including ghosts,” Li Qun replied.

"If it's a snow mountain, are there snow monsters?"

"The Yeti came out of the painting and kidnapped Leo. My dad went to rescue him, but he couldn't beat the Yeti." Harry gazed at the snow-capped mountain landscape painting, lost in thought.

“I can sense a gloomy atmosphere and a very heavy sense of resentment in the air of the garden.”

“The thing in the painting is unlikely to be a Yeti, but more likely a ghost or a zombie,” Li Qun said.

"Zombies?" Harry and Peter both looked at Li Qun.

“A corpse that has died and then come back to life, a monster that grows stronger by drinking human blood, with low intelligence, somewhat like a vampire, but not as good-looking as a vampire,” Li Qun explained.

“The thing in the painting might be a vampire,” Harry said.

“I don’t understand why the things in this painting would cause trouble at this time?” Peter asked.

"The key figure is Leopold."

“We all know that he lived a hundred years ago, and this house used to be his home.”

"His sudden disappearance left his family without a successor."

"He arrived a hundred years in the future, and the secret of the Leopold family's lineage was revealed once again, immediately seeking him out as the family's purest bloodline heir," Li Qun said.

"Won't Leopold turn into a vampire? He's a duke, he could become a vampire duke!" Harry said worriedly.

"Dr. Banner will bring them back."

"In reality, the vampires and legends that live around us are very different from those in horror movies."

"They have now overcome the sun and live in a remote and beautiful countryside."

“Dr. Banner told me this,” Li Qun said.

"Really?" Harry looked at Li Qun, quite incredulous.

“Have you noticed those medical institutions that buy up blood plasma? Dr. Banner said that behind them are vampire forces who use centuries of accumulated wealth to buy the blood that sustains them,” Li Qun said.

"Are there vampires in New York?" Harry asked.

“Vampires avoid living in big cities, only staying briefly for a couple of days when they return to their European homeland to wait for their international flights. They don’t use modern technology much and are also resistant to it,” Li Qun replied.

“My God, they sound like Amish,” Peter said.

“Vampires are very good at disguising themselves and are xenophobic; the Amish are also a kind of disguise for them,” Li Qun said.

"Look!"

"The drawing is coming to life!!"

Harry stood up and pointed to the snow-capped mountain landscape painting.

"It's an avalanche..."

Peter frowned, staring intently at the moving painting.

"No, the snow mountain collapsed. Look, there's still green light, the Hulk has unleashed his power."

“Who is the Hulk?” Harry asked.

“It’s another personality of Dr. Banner,” Li Qun replied.

"Will they be alright?" Peter asked worriedly.

“When Dr. Banner encounters someone who can’t be reasoned with, he’ll have Hulk talk to them about physics,” Li Qun said.

One side of the snow-capped mountain collapsed, revealing a medieval castle behind it. A broken bridge standing on the edge of the cliff seemed to be the only entrance to the ancient castle.

“Did you hear anything?” Peter asked.

"Perhaps the sound of an avalanche in the snow-capped mountain came from the painting," Li Qun said.

“No, I feel like someone is wailing,” Harry said.

"Can you feel that the world in the painting is collapsing?"

"Harry, hurry up, drip your blood on it and open the door!! They're coming back!" Li Qun urged Harry.

"I'm doing it."

Harry opened the blood collection tube and poured all the blood onto the painting.

A chilling aura surged from the painting, instantly freezing the garden in ice and frost.

In the scene, Hulk is running wildly through the collapsing snowfield, with four people wrapped around his arms.

With a super leap, the frozen ground beneath Hulk's feet instantly crumbled, and Hulk charged toward the "door".

The Hulk deactivated his transformation the moment he rushed out the door. Dr. Banner's chest emitted a green light, and after the green light disappeared, everyone was sitting peacefully on the lawn in the garden.

Bruce Banner turned around and held his hand to the snow-capped mountain landscape painting. Green flames engulfed the entire painting, quickly burning it to ashes.

"dad!"

"dad!!"

"I have bad news for you."

Harry knelt down beside the unconscious Norman, while Wade squatted down next to Harry and pulled off the Deadpool hood from his head.

“You don’t need to worry about inheriting the estate anymore,” Wade said.

"What do you mean?" Harry turned to look at Wade.

"He was turned into an immortal vampire by Dracula."

"What? You're not kidding me, are you?" Harry asked Wade with utmost seriousness.

"I'm not kidding."

"The first enemy we encountered when we entered the world of the painting was him."

“Fortunately, Dr. Banner knew how to deal with vampires and took control of Norman from Dracula,” Wade said.

"Are we back?" Leopold rubbed his head, finally coming to his senses.

“He’s in a bad situation too. Dracula turned him into a werewolf. Look how much more hair he has now,” Wade said to Harry, glancing at the shirtless Leopold.

"Wow, we can call Leopold Uncle Wolf now," Li Qun laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to turn them back into humans."

Dr. Banner reassured Harry.
