The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

The sticky meat paste and blood instantly exploded in all directions.

"Spiritual power, effective."

And the effect is pretty good.

He exhaled and blew out the blue flame on his fingers.

As a power exchanged from the system, which is also from the magic side, spiritual power has an incredibly good effect on zombies.

In fact, in terms of lethality alone, it is more useful than simple silver items.

Chapter 359: Opponent with Unclear Intentions

A few light bullets imbued with spiritual power eliminated the remaining zombies.

After their weaknesses have been almost fully understood, these guys are no longer valuable.

Anyway, if you want, you can just recreate it...it's not that precious after all.

Rather than leaving it there with a stinky and disgusting thing, and even having to worry about the trouble that will arise after your subordinates are bitten, it is better to solve the problem simply and neatly.

Even though they are far superior to conventional zombies in terms of immortality, their shortcomings are also extremely obvious.

Putting aside silver objects and sunlight, which are the sure-kill items that will kill you if you come into contact with them, the other thing is the so-called infectiousness.

Rather than the usual viral infections in science fiction movies, the spread of these zombies is more like... a curse.

At least Lin Qiao couldn't find any other suitable words for the moment.

In his research on them, he discovered something like viruses or parasites in the bodies of these zombies.

Apart from the fact that the bacteria in their mouths exceed the normal level of normal people and that they can move, they are not much different from ordinary corpses in the morgue.

Even if an ordinary person is bitten, he will not become a zombie. He just needs to apply some iodine to prevent the wound from getting infected...

But if you die from it, that’s another matter.

Judging from the results so far, a simple bite will not turn you into a zombie.

Transformation will only occur if the individual dies before their wounds are fully healed, or if their flesh and blood are consumed shortly after death.

To be honest, this really made Lin Qiao, who has always believed in science, feel that it was a bit outrageous.

But aside from that, these guys just seem to be that.

It has no research value.

It has no practical value either.

After all, given its limited infectiousness and the fatal weakness of dying when exposed to light, it would be unlikely to be developed into a useful weapon of war.

In fact, in comparison, it is not as good as the protogastric organisms.

At least with several tubes of enterovirus concentrate brought from the previous world, Lin Qiao could just pour them into the port as long as she wanted and start a biological warfare at any time.

However, the gastrula creatures are much more destructive and infectious than the ghouls.

Especially since there is no such thing as a diamond in this world - the sky is high and the birds fly freely.

It probably won’t be long before humans in this world will be able to see an ocean full of red-eyed monsters...but that’s beside the point.

Compared to the ghouls, which are of scarce value and can only be used to verify certain conjectures, the ones we should really pay attention to are vampires like John and Nigella.

Or more precisely, their masters.

……

Back inside the small clinic in Haywood.

Lin Qiao sat in an office hidden in the darkness on the third floor, not saying a word.

On the table in front of him were several piles of paper documents, filled with densely packed numbers and a lot of confusing technical terms.

That was a report on the results of the slice analysis of John and Nigella, as well as a series of other experiments conducted by Arasaka's biological laboratory.

how to say……

Although it looks complicated, the whole article can actually be summarized in just three words.

——Not a human.

"Vampires... artificial vampires..."

He looked down again at the test report on the two vampires.

Lin Qiao fell back, put her legs on the desk, and leaned against the cushion of the chair.

In many ways, things are getting a bit troublesome...

My thoughts gradually drifted to an animation I had watched before the time travel - Hellsing.

Or the "Royal Order of the Anglican Knights."

A very old, bloody animation with vampire themes.

It was also after he read the memory that he was able to determine the ability of his opponent this time.

Anyway, I won’t go into too much detail.

If you were to ask Lin Qiao what impression she had of the vampires in the film, it would be that they were difficult to kill.

Thieves are damn hard to kill!

The vampire inside cannot even be said to be an individual life, but a collection of a group of life forms.

Blood is the currency of the soul, and therefore, sucking a person's blood is equivalent to taking over his soul and making it a member of one's own dead river.

——And this is a vampire.

Translated into human language, it means: eating a few people is equivalent to having a few resurrection coins.

Like Acardo in the drama, he has millions of lives in his body...

This is a bit fucking shameless!

Even though the vampires in this series have very low defense and can be broken by any thermal weapon, it doesn't matter if they have this kind of defense.

And not to mention that he pulled people out of the Dead River and used their abilities.

After three worlds, how many lives are there in the other party's body, and how many powerful beings are stored in his body...

Lin Qiao felt overwhelmed just thinking about these problems.

This is not to mention the vampire's original ability to mist, transform, summon familiars, and the trouble caused by artificial vampires.

Compared to the original artificial vampires, they have obviously been strengthened.

Oh, by the way, speaking of this, there is something even worse.

That is, Lin Qiao did not find any information about the location of the other time traveler and the force he belonged to in Nigella's memory.

There were several obvious signs of "blackouts" in his memory.

I think it must have been deleted.

"trouble……"

So far, most of his methods were based on the assumption that the opponent only had one life...

I didn't expect that there would be so many resurrection coins that I couldn't count.

Besides, he doesn't know how to seal things like that.

"So the only way is to force him to release the Dead River?"

During the liberation of the Dead River, all the life absorbed by the vampire is released - and this is also the moment when he is most powerful and weakest.

As long as he can kill it with lightning speed, he will definitely be the winner.

——The only problem is, how can we force the other party to use this trick?

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the chair.

The office fell into a long silence.

Because there is no emotion, even though the situation has become somewhat tricky, Lin Qiao does not feel upset.

"But then again, what is his purpose in sending these two guys to Night City?"

After a long silence, Lin Qiao suddenly thought of this.

Judging from the fact that the other party sent these two artificial vampires to inquire about Lucy's whereabouts and a series of other things, his purpose is undoubtedly to test whether the "plot" is still developing according to the original progress.

A more straightforward statement is to infer from this whether the opponent is in Night City.

But the question is, what is his reason for testing?

Wanting to kill him and get higher system points is one thing.

But Lin Qiao had been looking for him for several years and couldn't find him no matter what, so now she came looking for him...

It’s not that it’s impossible, but it feels a bit weird when you think about it.

And the orders he gave to these two agricultural tools are also somewhat interesting.

In fact, to be honest, the other party doesn't want to meet me in Night City.

His goal is to monopolize Night City, or to obtain something inside it.

"But what does he want?"

Pinching his chin, Lin Qiao looked at the holographic map of Night City projected on the desk next to him.

If this memory is not false, then it would be a bit weird.

What on earth is attracting him to the point that he would even throw aside the high reward given by the system?

Chapter 360: The Living King of Hell is about to arrive in his loyal Night City

I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

At least in the past few years of living in Night City, Lin Qiao is very sure that there should be no things or existences here that meet the above description.

Even if we use the process of elimination, after eliminating all the impossibilities... it seems that there is nothing left.

Could it be possible that this unfortunate game will have some weird and wonderful things in the future, such as an Easter egg item like the Infinity Gauntlet, or even DLC?

This is the only possibility at the moment.

Regardless of whether you can figure this out or not, you must improve your strategy next.

At least until we find a way to force the other side to dig a dead end, we have to stop using the previous aggressive search method.

Otherwise, even if he found the opponent's position, the final result would be nothing more than mutual torture - not to mention that the opponent's strength might not be worse than his.

"So I'm the one who's in a bad situation..."

Lin Qiao sighed, what a terrible situation.

But no matter what, we still need to make preparations - just in case, the first thing is to store enough silver bullets.

In order to prevent a large-scale conflict from breaking out in the future, the Arasaka soldiers under his command would only be able to give the enemy's artificial vampires and ghouls a scratch.

Another thing is to catch more scavengers, speed up the production of the slammers, and try to produce the silver full bottle as soon as possible.

Of course, Abernathy should be responsible for all these tasks... As the director of the special operations team and the nominal top person in charge, he has to take some responsibility, right?

Shortly after Lin Qiao assigned a task to his boss, his cell phone rang.

Although mobile phones have been phased out since the beginning of this century, people now prefer to use simple and fast voice in their heads.

But who can blame Lin Qiao for not being able to keep the artificial body in her body?

And mimicry is too troublesome...and the software stuff is too troublesome.

I decided to just modify the original build of the phone.

The person who called was an old acquaintance, Jack Wells, who I hadn't contacted for a while.

"Hi K, are you home?"

"Here, what's wrong?"

"I have something to ask you...it's urgent."
