As he said this, he glanced at the projected map and walked towards the armory.

"Hey, take this."

Stark pulled a watch and headset out of his briefcase and threw them to Eric.

"This is connected to the detection system, which can help you confirm the movements of vampires at any time. Stay in touch."

Eric nodded, put on his equipment, looked at Mu En, nodded, and left.

Watching Eric leave, Stark sat down on the sofa, took out a bag of dried blueberries and started eating.

While eating, he said: "Okay young man, we can have a good chat now, um, or should I call you Mr. Kamen Rider Drive?"

Mu En's mouth twitched. Oh my god, how come my identity was exposed again?

Looking at Mu En's expression, Stark's smile became even more intense.

Chapter 20: Flood

Mu En knew that there was no need to pretend to be ignorant in front of Stark, so he just came clean.

He imitated Stark and slumped on the sofa.

"How did you find out?"

"Is it difficult to discover your true identity? New York is arguably the most technologically advanced city in the world. It's not difficult to find someone, and Stark Industries is the best in the entire country."

Hearing this, Mu En smiled. The city with the most advanced technology? Does Wakanda agree with you?

Seeing Mu En smile, Stark shrugged and said again.

"Although there are many modified cars in New York, your car is too conspicuous. It's hard for me not to notice you. Besides, I once took the blame for you."

"Help me take the blame?"

Mu En found that the conversation was getting more and more outrageous. He had only met Stark twice, so why was he taking the blame for him?

Stark calmly tapped his watch, and the 3D projection screen changed to the scene when Mu En first transformed, when he first encountered a blood slave. Although he didn't get a picture of himself, it made him feel uneasy.

Mu En’s face turned dark when he saw this scene.

“Did you take this photo?”

But Stark shook his head.

"No, that's a little outrageous, but the vampire gave me this video."

"what?!"

Mu En looked at Stark in surprise. From what he said, Mu En's first reaction was that Stark had reached some kind of deal with those vampires.

"Hey boy, don't look at me like that. I wouldn't do anything shameless like that."

Looking at Mu En's murderous eyes, Stark took out a bag of snacks and threw it at Mu En.

"Listen, remember what I said just now about taking the blame for you? Those vampires found me with this video and asked if this guy was related to me, because in their opinion, I was the only one in the country who had the technology to create such a set of armor."

"So, you admit it?"

Mu En raised his eyebrows and asked.

Stark stroked his mustache and smiled.

"But I have to say that this humanoid armor is indeed a very interesting design. Although I don't know what their purpose is, I denied it directly at the time. But the more I denied it, the more those guys thought that person was me, so I said that I took the blame for you."

"Haha, thank you so much then."

Looking at the arrogant guy in front of him, Mu En expressed his gratitude with a forced smile.

However, this guy didn't understand the meaning of Mu En's words.

"You're welcome. If you want to thank me, show me the design of your armor."

"After all, this is your real purpose. You came here just for Drivr. Protecting the people around you is just an excuse. Pepper Potts is just your employee. It would be strange if you came here specifically to ask for help for him."

Mu En said with a grin.

"But I'm sorry, that suit of armor is not mine. If you want to see the design, you have to ask its owner for permission."

"Owner?"

"Mr. Belt, Stark wants to see the design of Drive, will you give it to him?"

Kulim, who was resting on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, and an angry expression appeared on the screen.

"No, absolutely not."

"Wow! What is this? Artificial intelligence?!"

Stark was startled and looked at Kurim with curiosity. His first reaction was artificial intelligence.

"It's really interesting. I didn't expect that I could see other such advanced artificial intelligence besides Jarvis."

Although Muen really wants to say that Kurim is not an artificial intelligence, if he tells Stark the truth, how should he explain it?

Mu En simply neither admitted nor denied it. Isn't he very smart? Let him guess. If he can guess it, he is very capable.

"If the master doesn't agree, I can't interfere, right?"

Stark touched the tip of his nose. He was quite satisfied with what he saw today, so he didn't mind if he couldn't get the design of the armor. Besides, he believed that with his excellent talent, there was no reason why he couldn't make what others could make.

That’s right, I will definitely be able to create better armor.

"Okay Mr. Stark, let's get down to business first. How about we install the detection system first?"

Stark nodded. From both a personal and human perspective, helping the two of them to eliminate vampires would be a win-win situation with no harm.

When Stark was loading the detection system, Mu En stood by and watched, occasionally offering his opinions.

Originally, Stark didn't want to pay attention to Mu En. You little brat, you want to command me, the genius Stark? What a joke.

But after Muen said a few words, Stark found that what he said made a lot of sense, and slowly the two of them began to discuss.

Mu En's knowledge system comes from the famous Grandpa Rick. Stark is a genius, and so is Grandpa Rick. Although he has not learned all of Grandpa Rick's knowledge, it is no exaggeration to say that it is enough for him to discuss and exchange with many genius scientists in the world.

"Cool! What a creative idea!"

When the two stopped, the entire base had been transformed by them, becoming more sci-fi and futuristic.

Looking at the fruits of his labor, Stark nodded with satisfaction.

"Honestly, besides the fact that this base is a bit small, I want to move my office here."

Mu En could only respond with a laugh, "You think everyone is like you? You are as rich as a local tycoon." Well, it seems that he is much richer than a local tycoon, evil capitalism.

"Okay, now let's try this new system that combines our ideas."

Stark snapped his fingers, and 3D projections appeared. This was a map of the entire Free Country. After the two of them made reasonable modifications, the range of the detector had now successfully covered the entire Free Country, and could even cover the entire North America if they wished.

Red dots appeared on the projection, spread all over the Free Country, and New York was almost covered by the red dots.

Mu En's scalp tingled as he watched.

"Have these things eroded America so badly?"

Stark's expression became even more grim.

"It seems that things are more serious than I thought. I underestimated them."

The atmosphere in the base suddenly reached its lowest point.

"Wow, what did you do while I was gone? Did you renovate the entire base?"

After fighting outside for a while, Eric even doubted whether he had come to the wrong place when he returned to the base. If Muen and Stark had not been there, he would have really doubted whether he had taken the wrong path.

"What's wrong with you? What happened? Why aren't you talking?"

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Eric came into the hall and his face suddenly froze.

Chapter 21, Ascension Ceremony

Mu En was the first to react from the silence and greeted Eric who had returned.

"You're back, how's it going?"

Eric nodded.

"The situation is not bad. I have wiped out nearly a hundred hidden vampires, and I also brought back some bad news."

Stark looked at the map in front of him and smiled bitterly.

"Bad news, what could be worse?"

Eric said, looking at Stark.

"When I was hunting vampires, I found that some of them were not real vampires, but blood slaves transformed by them."

"Blood slave?"

Mu En listened to Eric's words and looked at the map again.

"Yes, from the perspective of detection, the signal frequency emitted by blood slaves is similar to that of vampires, so it is possible that these are not vampires, but blood slaves. In addition, these vampires call themselves blood clans, and there are several or even dozens of blood slaves around a vampire. Eric, this is good news, how can it be bad news?"

Stark also nodded, his expression slightly relieved.

Eric said with a serious expression.

"Yes, it is true that a large portion of the people on the map in front of you may be blood slaves, but what I want to talk about has nothing to do with this."

Eric pulled a file bag from his windbreaker pocket and threw it on the table.

"The bad news I'm talking about is this. Many high-ranking officials have fallen into vampire status. And from the information I have, it seems that they became vampires voluntarily."

"How can it be!"

Both Stark and Muen found it a little unbelievable. Why would someone voluntarily become a vampire?

Stark immediately began to look through the documents on the table, and Eric explained.

"For eternal life."

"These guys are in high positions, they have power and money, and when they have all of these, they set their sights on another thing, that is eternal life."

Mu En had an expression of "I see". Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel horrified. When a person possesses enormous power and countless wealth, he will naturally want to control it all forever. And as long as they are not discovered by vampire hunters, then vampires are indeed immortal and everlasting.

"Tsk, no wonder those capitalists are called vampires. It turns out that when they have everything, they will become real vampires for eternal life."

Stark glanced at Muen.

"Hey man, you can't generalize. From a class perspective, I am also a big capitalist. I don't want to become one of those monsters who can't stand the sun."

"What if they can get access to sunlight? It's not like you haven't seen monsters that aren't afraid of UV rays."

"Forehead......"

Stark was speechless. He had no way of refutation.

"Anyway, all you need to know is that I will never betray humanity."

Mu En had no comment on his words. After arriving in this world, he found that many things were different from the movies he watched. Believe him? No one can resist the temptation of eternal life, let alone a playboy before he became Iron Man. Don't believe him? What if you don't believe him? Kill him here? If you do this, you may be wiped out by the will of the universe.

"Then what should we do next? If they continue to corrupt those senior officials, then if we hunt down vampires again, wouldn't that be tantamount to going against Country M?"

The more Mu En thought about it, the scarier it became. There was no mention of a vampire crisis when he was reading The Avengers. Judging from the current situation, it is entirely possible to publish a comic book with a major event.

"In fact, it's not all bad news. I got some information from a guy who just fell not long ago. In order to further consolidate their power, the vampires have gathered a group of powerful people who are extremely eager for immortality. They plan to hold a ceremony called ascension."

"Ritual? What ritual? A vampire party?"

Stark asked curiously.

Eric glanced at him and continued.

"It's a corruption ritual. They gathered those guys to hold a ritual in a place called the Blood Lake. Once the ritual is successful, they will all be transformed into high-level vampires, far superior to ordinary vampires. And..."

Mu En looked at Eric and took over his words.

"And the higher the level of the vampire, the stronger the vampire that is transformed by it will be, right?"

Eric nodded.

"As far as I know, the last time we saw Clauren, he was a high-level vampire, and we have also seen the strength of the fang vampire he transformed into."

Mu En nodded. Indeed, Clauren's vampire form was the strongest they had ever seen.
