Chapter 379 Blood Clan Characteristics
Two moons hang high in the night sky, the bright silver light and the blood-red light echo each other and shine on the earth.
However, beneath this strange spectacle, two powerful auras of natural disasters suddenly appeared and were instantly captured by the intelligence department of the Special Management Bureau.
Of course, this is just one of the countless abnormal reports received by the intelligence department tonight.
At this moment, outside Lu Shan's office door, Intelligence Minister Zou Cheng had been standing for half an hour.
The subordinate beside him was holding a thick stack of documents, all of which were abnormal data monitored tonight.
Zou Cheng looked solemn, with a frown on his face.
The news from his acquaintances in the execution unit made him even more uneasy.
It is said that several troops have received direct orders from a high-level official tonight and are carrying out mysterious operations throughout the city.
The target of the operation is none other than the Masked Gang that has been in the spotlight tonight.
Where the hell did this mask come from?
The intelligence department was completely confused by this gang that had no criminal record or files at all. They seemed like a group of people who had just put together an organization.
But it was such a funny and ridiculous organization that turned the night of Pingjing City upside down.
For Zou Cheng, this was a humiliating wake-up call.
He tried his best to follow the clues and find out who was giving orders behind the scenes, but he was always intercepted at every level and told not to meddle in other people's business because there would be a special operation in Pingjing City tonight.
This was a slap in the face and an insult to Zou Cheng. Whenever he tried to follow the clues to find out who was giving the orders, he would be intercepted and told to mind his own business as there would be a special operation in Pingjing City tonight.
"Damn it! I'm the Minister of Intelligence. How could any special operation be kept in the dark about me?!" Zou Cheng cursed inwardly, feeling extremely angry.
However, his protests seemed to fall on deaf ears. Even Yan Jue, the head of the executive department, seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, with no trace left.
In desperation, Zou Cheng had to print out a copy of all the information he had obtained tonight and personally deliver it to Lu Shan, but he did not expect that even Lu Shan would turn him down.
At this moment, he was standing alone at the door like an idiot. He took out his cell phone from time to time and dialed Lu Shan's number, but no one answered, as if the other party was deliberately avoiding him.
Just then, a man walked over with a mouthwash cup, a towel draped over his shoulder, and a toothbrush in his mouth. "Hey, Lao Zou, are you still working overtime so late?"
The man jokingly said with a smile.
Zou Cheng's subordinates were surprised to recognize the identity of the newcomer and could not help but mutter to themselves: "The captain of the third team... Zhuolong..."
Zhuolong is a natural disaster-level alien and the captain of the third team of the Pingjing City Special Management Bureau. His true identity is the Red Emperor of the South, the Red Dragon King, the ancestor of the South China Sea Dragon King. He can be said to be a powerful alien in ancient China.
However, he looked nothing like his former dignity, instead resembling a slovenly middle-aged man. Toothpaste still clung to the corners of his mouth, and he wore a lazy demeanor, completely lacking the aura of a Dragon King.
When Zou Cheng saw Zhuo Long, he grabbed him like a lifeline and asked, "Old Dragon King, tell me, who was behind the operation to suppress the Mask Gang in Pingjing City tonight?!"
Zhuolong replied vaguely, his toothbrush still moving in and out of his mouth: "You're the Minister of Intelligence, and you come to ask me this?"
"I'm so fucking frustrated! As the head of intelligence, I'm actually treated like a stone in the toilet and avoided as much as possible! Such a big thing was actually kept from me!" Zou Cheng was furious.
"Old Zou..."
Zhuolong patted Zou Cheng's shoulder, drank some water, and was about to spit it out on the ground, but the moment it was about to touch the ground, it turned into a wisp of white mist and disappeared without a trace.
"You have a brain on your shoulders, not a butt. How can you, a prominent figure, ask such a stupid question?"
Zou Cheng was not angry, but fell into deep thought.
"Explain it to me clearly."
"Some things are hard to say directly. But think about it yourself. How many people in our Special Management Bureau have the ability to bypass you, the Minister of Intelligence? Even if there are, can you afford to offend them?"
Zou Cheng pondered for a moment, thinking that this person's words made sense. If he could really avoid his eyes and ears, it would show how powerful this person was. Thinking of this, Zou Cheng was secretly annoyed.
"From what you're saying...could this be Director Lu's order?"
Zhuo Long rolled his eyes. "Damn it! How did you manage to become the head of the intelligence department? Think about it, if it really was Director Lu, why would he be hiding from you? How dare you disobey his words?"
After thinking about it carefully, Zou Cheng had to admit that Zhuo Long was right.
If the action was really led by Lu Shan, he could have just ordered me not to interfere. Why would he be so shy about it?
So why did he do this? Could it be...
"He doesn't want to get involved in this mess at all." Zou Cheng finally realized.
Zhuolong smiled indifferently, patted his shoulder again, and walked away leisurely humming a tune.
"Minister...Minister, do we still need to hand in these materials?" the subordinate asked tremblingly.
"Hand it over for nothing! Take it back to me and keep it safe! If anyone investigates this matter in the future, our intelligence department must not take the blame for this dereliction of duty!" Zou Cheng said gritting his teeth.
......
Meanwhile, the battle under the twin moons continues.
Charluer stood out in this melee. Her laughter was crazy yet rhythmic, echoing on the battlefield like a war song. Scarlet claws, spikes, and various weapons surrounded her.
Her opponent was no ordinary person, she was agile and experienced, but under Xia Luer's fierce attack, they could not find an effective counterattack opportunity for a while.
She was like a gust of wind, moving swiftly between enemy lines, and every move she made carried a deadly threat.
Even if the enemies managed to catch her momentary flaw and wanted to take the opportunity to attack, they would be ruthlessly suppressed by the silver-white spear that suddenly pierced down from the sky.
The tip of the gun flashed with a cold light, as if it could penetrate everything, nailing the enemy who tried to approach to the spot, unable to move.
In mid-air, a silver-haired girl who looked almost identical to Charles but had a completely opposite personality was floating gracefully, holding a spear that seemed to have life in her hand. Her eyes were cold and focused, like a high and mighty judge, always ready to make a ruthless judgment on anyone who dared to challenge her.
Her every move was precise and deadly, her spear an extension of her will, ready to deliver a devastating blow to those who tried to resist.
In this battle, she and her spear became an indelible nightmare in the hearts of all enemies.
"These two... monsters..."
An alien was chopped to the ground by Xia Luer's scarlet blade. Blood flowed out from the wound and gathered on the ground into a glaring red.
Before he could struggle to get up, the bloody girl was already riding on him with a wild laugh, the bloody dagger in her hand flashing with a bloodthirsty light, about to pierce the alien's throat.
The alien's pupils contracted and it almost forgot to breathe, waiting for death in despair.
However, just as the dagger was about to pierce, a silver spear fell from the sky, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and pierced into Xia Luer's side with incredible precision, preventing the fatal blow.
"Don't kill anyone, idiot."
Above their heads, Xia Yue's solemn voice sounded, issuing a stern warning to the relatives below.
"......Tsk, boring." Although Xia Luer complained, she still retracted the dagger, grabbed the alien's neck, and threw him to the other side.
The team leader who had been standing by and not taking any action felt troubled when he saw this scene.
He sighed deeply and muttered to himself, "One Scourge vampire would have been enough, but now two have arrived... Add Elizabeth, and there are now three vampires in this city. Sigh..."
As we all know, there cannot be two vampires in the same city. This rule is the predecessor of the Special Management Bureau, an iron rule that existed during the Demon-Subduing Bureau period. It was initially believed to be intended to restrict vampires from developing their own followers.
But as time went on, people discovered that these arrogant vampires did not care about developing families, and even looked down on those mixed-bloods who were transformed after the first embrace.
So, what was the real purpose of the humans who originally formulated this rule?
The captain took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and silently watched Xia Luer and Xia Yue ruthlessly sweeping through those so-called elite troops.
"That's the nature of vampires. Once two vampires appear in a city, their alien powers skyrocket. This isn't due to their own will, but rather to their nature. Two vampires are already difficult to deal with, but add Elizabeth's nature... How am I supposed to handle this mess?"
After saying that, he opened the car door and got in reluctantly, hoping that the two vampires didn't notice his presence.
"Why should I work so hard just for a mere few tens of thousands of yuan a month?"
Thinking of this, he turned on the radio in the car, leaned back in his chair, hummed a song, smoked a cigarette, and quietly waited for the long night to end.
