America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

Chapter 393 Next Stop, Hell Dimension

“Dracula had three brides who were very unlucky to meet me, and I ended them with this silver sword that Dr. Banner gave me.”

"However, Dracula is not so easy to deal with."

"The vampire we encountered inside the castle claimed to be Dracula, the progenitor of vampires."

“I ambushed him from behind with my silver longsword and stabbed him right through, but he was completely unharmed.”

"His vampire bride turned to ashes when I pierced her with my silver longsword."

Wade talked at length at the dinner table about his adventures with Dr. Banner. No one asked Wade any questions, but he always managed to accurately recount the things that Harry, Peter, and Lillian were curious about.

"Leo, in his werewolf form, ended Dracula's life. Leo crushed Dracula's heart with his wolf claws."

"Dracula cried out, 'I curse you, Gabriel!' and turned to ashes."

"Why does he call you Gabriel?" Wade asked Leopold, who was tearing at his steak.

"I don't know." Leopold's tone revealed his deep sadness.

During his time at Dracula's castle, Leopold suffered cruel torture.

He was turned into a werewolf by Dracula, who also drained his life force to give Dracula, his vampire bride, and his vampire offspring real life.

“We’ll be good friends.” Wade looked at Leopold and nodded to himself.

"What are you?" Leopold asked Wade.

“I am the Son of God, I have died and risen again, and I have immortal life,” Wade replied.

"Don't joke around."

Leopold squeezed the knife and fork in his hand with a little force, bending them.

"I am not a vampire. My heart is beating and my blood is warm."

After Wade finished speaking, Norman Osborne looked up at him.

Norman had become a vampire; his heart beat at an extremely slow pace, and his body was as cold as a cold-blooded animal, his blood was cold.

A bowl of mutton blood soup sat before Norman, a dinner prepared by Liqun for him. Besides the soup, there was also fried pork blood tofu and sour duck blood soup.

Norman Osborne's displeasure was written all over his face; he was very unhappy.

“Harry, you’ll have to stay with Li Qun and Peter for the next couple of days.”

"Your father will be unable to resist sucking your blood."

"The blood of a loved one is the greatest temptation for a vampire; it's impossible to resist it with willpower alone," Dr. Banner reminded Harry.

"Ok."

Harry lowered his head and stole a glance at Norman, only to find that his father was watching him.

“You have all used the super serum, and your bodies, modified by the serum, have changed in relation to both wolfsbane and vampire poison. You are not traditional werewolves and vampires,” Dr. Banner said to Leopold and Norman.

“Then what are we?” Leopold asked.

“They are super werewolves and super vampires. Mr. Norman can even transform into a giant bat-like demon form similar to Dracula,” Dr. Banner said.

“What does it look like?” Peter asked.

“Have you ever seen a gargoyle? It has grayish-white skin, huge bat wings that allow it to fly, a burly body, hands and feet with claws like a lion, a ferocious and terrifying face, and a mouth full of fangs,” Dr. Banner said.

Norman laughed, and his laugh had a sinister feel to it.

“Mr. Norman, Mr. Leopold, you need to fight against the darkness within yourselves and absolutely must not succumb to it.”

“You have been forced to become dark creatures, and the darkness within you will be amplified by dark forces, causing you to commit evil acts against your own will.”

"When can we turn back into humans?" Norman asked Dr. Banner.

“I will travel to the Hell dimension to negotiate with the King of Hell. He will provide an antidote to turn you back into humans and reclaim the dark power within you,” Dr. Banner said.

"Hell dimension? Isn't that too risky?" Li Qun asked Dr. Banner.

“I have traveled through Hell, and I know the King of Hell.” After Dr. Banner finished speaking, a glint of green light flashed in his pupils, which was Hulk expressing his dissatisfaction.

“That was actually very dangerous. I almost chose to detach Hulk from my body and leave him in hell. Luckily, I didn’t do that,” Dr. Banner said.

“I heard that making a deal with hell only requires human souls,” Wade said.

"There are such rumors."

“But I absolutely dare not take Leopold’s Soul Hell Dimension,” Dr. Banner said.

"Is Leopold really the reincarnation of God's left hand?" Wade looked at Leopold again.

“You’ll have to ask God,” Dr. Banner chuckled.

“Leopold, do you want to go to church tomorrow? Maybe you can pray to God, and he might turn you back into a human, so that Dr. Banner can pay a lower price in hell,” Wade said.

"You are lucky."

"The serum modification has greatly enhanced your humanity. You retain a part of humanity within your bodies instead of becoming completely vampires and werewolves."

“That’s why you were able to turn back into humans,” Dr. Banner said to Norman and Leopold.

"Isn't Leopold only able to get this opportunity because he's the reincarnation of Gabriel?" Wade was now completely certain of Leopold's extraordinary identity.

“I have a question. Dr. Banner, since you’ve been to Hell, have you been to Heaven?” Harry asked.

“Hell is right next to the human world, while Heaven is unreachable,” Dr. Banner replied.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Dr. Banner said.

“Well, how about we talk about science?” Wade said.

"Is it possible to develop a cure for werewolves and vampires?" Wade asked.

“I forgot to mention, Leopold can’t wait much longer. He has to turn back into a human before the next full moon, or he’ll be a super werewolf forever.”

“The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and Leopold is lucky to have time to wait,” Dr. Banner said.

"Can I go to hell with you?" Wade's eyes were full of longing, hoping that Dr. Banner would agree.

"No, I will take Liqun with me."

"Me?" Li Qun pointed at himself with his chopsticks, looking somewhat incredulous.

"Banner, you're not going to sell Liqun to the King of Hell, are you?" Wade said.

"No no no."

“Hell wouldn’t dare keep Li Qun, Wade. Did you watch the Journey to the West TV series for nothing?” Dr. Banner retorted.

"Huh? Oh...right!" Wade suddenly realized.

“What are you talking about? Can you please stop with the riddles?” Harry said.

“I don’t think I have that much ability,” Li Qun said earnestly to Bruce Banner.

“You don’t have it, but it does.” Dr. Banner gestured to the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) on Li Qun’s ear.

Chapter 394 A Better Laboratory

Li Qun opened the apartment door, and Peter and Harry, dragging their suitcases, returned to the apartment.

"What's going on? Is Harry moving in with us?"

Upon hearing the door open, Gwen and Stephanie both came out of their rooms. Gwen, driven by territorial instincts, questioned Lillian and Peter.

“Let Harry rest for a while. He’ll be staying with us for a while,” Li Qun said.

“I’ll pay the rent,” Harry said to Gwen with a smile.

"Who are you going to sleep with?" Gwen asked.

“If I could, I’d like to sleep in the living room,” Harry replied with a smile.

“Okay, this sofa is yours. It’ll cost you $200 a month to sleep on it,” Gwen said.

"Great!"

Harry immediately lay down on the sofa that Gwen had specified, placed a cushion on the armrest, and adjusted himself into the most comfortable position.

“The sofa back can be folded down; it becomes a sofa bed. Would you like me to help you with that?” Peter asked.

"Not for now."

“It feels pretty special, kind of like when my dad kicked me out of the house,” Harry said, turning to Peter.

"Have you eaten?" Stephanie asked.

“Oh, I’m suddenly a little hungry. Do you have anything to eat?” Harry sat up and looked at Stephanie.

“We had dumplings for dinner, but we didn’t finish them. I can make you some pan-fried dumplings,” Stephanie said.

"I like to eat pan-fried dumplings."

“Liqun, Peter, what about you?” Stephanie asked again.

“I’ll help you,” Li Qun said.

“Take care of Harry first,” Peter replied.

"What's going on today? Has Dr. Banner's matter been resolved?" Gwen asked Peter as she sat down on another sofa.

"Uncle Norman and Leopold have encountered some bad things. Uncle Norman has become a vampire, and Leopold has become a werewolf."

"Dr. Banner said they could turn back into humans, but Leopold must turn back into a human before the next full moon, or he will be a werewolf forever. Uncle Norman cannot drink human blood until he turns back into a human."

“Harry lives with us because Harry’s blood is an extreme temptation for Uncle Norman, and it would be very dangerous for Harry to live alone,” Peter explained.

"This is so sudden." Gwen didn't know what to say after hearing this.

“Oh, right, Leopold and Uncle Norman both used the Super Soldier Serum. They’re different from other werewolves and vampires; they’re super werewolves and super vampires,” Peter added.

“That’s really bad,” Gwen said.

"How did they become vampires and werewolves?" Gwen asked.

“One was bitten by a vampire, and the other by a werewolf,” Peter replied.
