Chapter 152, Chapter 8: The Cat Master in a Rich Family Novel
Section Chief Lin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
“Visual effects alone are not enough, Mr. Xu. I need to see that it can actually have a restraining effect on bloodthirsty aliens, that is, the vampires you mentioned.”
"certainly."
Xu Qingzhou nodded in understanding.
With a slight twitch of his fingertips, the cluster of white flames seemed to come alive, drifting away from his fingertips and hovering beside him.
The white light burned steadily, like a lamp, emitting a warm and pure aura.
This move completely proved that the white light was not some kind of magic trick.
"Since it's a department that specializes in researching how to deal with vampires, you should have samples here, right?"
Section Chief Lin's eyes sharpened, and he remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Not long after, he nodded, pressed a communicator on the table, and whispered a few instructions.
A moment later, a wall on the side of the conference room slid open silently.
A dimly lit passage was revealed behind it.
Section Chief Lin led the way, and the two people and the cat stepped into the passage and gradually descended.
In the long corridor, there were many rooms with their doors tightly closed, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.
Before they went too far, Section Chief Lin opened a door and led Xu Qingzhou inside.
There wasn't much in the room, just a table and a few pieces of equipment whose purpose was unclear.
Directly in front, there is a transparent reinforced glass partition.
Inside the cubicle, a low-ranking vampire was firmly restrained by special silver shackles.
It struggled and roared incessantly, its murky bloodshot eyes filled with ferocity and hunger, slamming against the glass wall with dull thuds.
"Section Chief Lin."
A person in a white coat stood in front of the table and politely greeted the two people.
Yu Wanwan glanced at it lazily and then turned her head back without any interest.
Section Chief Lin didn't notice her little gesture and pressed his temples, looking slightly tired.
"Higher levels of bloodlust... vampires possess mysterious and unpredictable methods that we cannot capture; we can only capture these lower-level ones."
Xu Qingzhou smiled.
"It doesn't matter, it's just an experiment anyway."
Section Chief Lin instructed the staff to proceed with the operation.
A small opening appeared above the cubicle, and a mechanical arm carefully reached in, its target the vampire's small finger that was bound by shackles.
The vampire seemed to sense something and struggled even more frantically.
The robotic arm precisely snapped off the withered, dusty finger.
The finger was extended by the mechanical arm, and the small opening closed again, cutting off the vampire's roar.
"The number of test samples is limited, so use them sparingly."
Xu Qingzhou shrugged and snapped his fingers. As if guided, the small white flame hovering beside him landed on that finger.
A corroding sound, far more intense and clearer than when silver is burned, suddenly rang out.
That little finger turned charred and carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A thick plume of foul-smelling black smoke rose up, but it was quickly purified and dissipated by the pure aura emanating from the white flames.
In just two or three seconds, the little finger had completely turned into a small clump of ashes.
The white flame remained bright and pure, as if it had just devoured only a tiny speck of dust.
The room was deathly silent.
All the staff watching this scene through the monitors or observation windows were stunned.
Section Chief Lin's pupils dilated in shock, and his breathing became rapid.
The effect is so remarkable that it's incomparable to anything made of silverware!
With a wave of his hand, Xu Qingzhou caused the white flames to disappear silently, as if they had never existed.
He and Yu Wanwan, who was perched on his shoulder, tilted their heads together, their eyes smiling as they looked at the man who hadn't yet come to his senses.
"Now, Section Chief Lin, can we renegotiate the method of cooperation?"
Section Chief Lin forcibly pulled himself out of the shock of what he had just witnessed.
When he looked at Xu Qingzhou again, his eyes held a strange light.
"certainly!"
Back in the meeting room, the atmosphere of the talks had completely changed.
Section Chief Lin no longer concealed the current grim situation.
Lower-level vampires are appearing more and more frequently, and their range of activity is constantly expanding.
Although the military and their makeshift special unit have intervened, casualties continue.
They are alright against lower-level vampires; the military's firepower and the weapons developed by their department can suppress them.
But higher-ranking vampires...
"From what we've encountered so far, there are those that can teleport, and others that can breathe fire and water. Unless we use nuclear weapons, we are helpless against races with special abilities."
However, nuclear weapons are too destructive and cannot be used lightly.
Section Chief Lin looked tired and worried.
"Mr. Xu, how much do you know about this bloodthirsty race?"
Xu Qingzhou turned his head and glanced at Yu Wanwan.
"I don't actually know much, except that they are afraid of light, especially sunlight, silverware, garlic, and my fire can subdue them..."
To be honest, all his knowledge about vampires came from her.
She talks more when she's happy.
When he's unhappy or in a bad mood, he'll pretend to be dead and remain silent.
Section Chief Lin felt that he seemed to care a little too much about his cat.
But thinking about the persona he projected online, I calmed down and waited for his reply.
Yu Wanwan flicked her tail.
A faint sigh echoed in Xu Qingzhou's mind.
Tsk, in the end, it still has to be her who does it.
Section Chief Lin: ? ? ?
who?
Who is speaking?
He suddenly looked up, staring in shock at his surroundings.
Seeing the shocked and bewildered look on Section Chief Lin's face, Xu Qingzhou knew that Yu Wanwan had expanded the range of her telepathic communication.
After a few seconds of silence, he quietly lifted Yu Wanwan off his shoulder and placed her on the desk so that she could face Section Chief Lin directly.
only……
He glanced at Section Chief Lin again.
Hopefully, this person's heart can handle it.
Yu Wanwan glanced at Xu Qingzhou and reluctantly sat up straight.
Its front paws are neatly placed in front of its body, and its tail is curled under its paws.
Reserved yet elegant.
"???"
Section Chief Lin's gaze involuntarily followed Xu Qingzhou's movements and fell on the calico cat.
His mouth was slightly open, his eyes were glazed over, and it looked like his CPU had burned out.
"This...this..."
Xu Qingzhou touched the tip of his nose and looked away.
Yu Wanwan cleared her throat.
"!!!"
Is that really a cat talking?!
Is this cat really sentient?
After witnessing the unscientific methods of light magic, Section Chief Lin's brain went blank once again.
Yu Wanwan showed no sympathy whatsoever, and her gentle, smiling voice rang out again.
Regardless of whether Section Chief Lin could handle it.
Her amber cat-like eyes swept towards the direction of the laboratory corridor, with a hint of obvious disdain.
Section Chief Lin was completely frozen, not even noticing when the pen he was holding fell from his hand.
He stared intently at the talking cat, instinctively pressing for an answer.
"Conversion? What did they use for conversion?"
Even though their worldview was significantly impacted, their brains still instinctively picked up on the key information.
Yu Wanwan's gaze turned somewhat pitying.
"..."
Section Chief Lin fell silent.
Thinking about the recent disappearances, I feel incredibly heavy-hearted.
Originally, it was thought that human traffickers were taking advantage of the recent chaos to commit crimes.
But now...
Perhaps, the fate of those who went missing was even more tragic than they imagined.
"That……"
Section Chief Lin's throat felt a little dry.
"What about the other two levels?"
Yu Wanwan was silent for a moment.
"?"
Section Chief Lin looked blank.
"ah?"
Xu Qingzhou suppressed a laugh and patted her head lightly, looking somewhat helpless.
"Rolling up".
Yu Wanwan hummed in response, but continued speaking anyway.
"..."
Section Chief Lin felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
Yu Wanwan paused for a moment.
But speaking of the Creator's favorite...
Yu Wanwan couldn't help but glance at Xu Qingzhou.
This one is actually the Creator's true favorite, His own son.
As for the vampires, in this world, they are at most uninvited guests, and shouldn't be that difficult to deal with, right?
Yu Wanwan's voice echoed in their minds.
The gentle, smiling tone, yet with a straightforward and compelling narrative, paints a picture of a powerful and chilling presence.
Section Chief Lin felt a chill run up his spine and spread throughout his body in an instant.
Can walk in the sunlight? A favorite of the Creator?
If such a being truly existed, and stood on the opposite side of humanity...
"Sunlight...does it have absolutely no effect on them?"
After thinking for a moment, Yu Wanwan maintained her gentle and calm demeanor.
"..."
Section Chief Lin breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as it's not completely ineffective, that's fine.
"Then...don't they have any other weaknesses? Like silverware and garlic?"
Yu Wanwan instinctively flicked her tail, her attitude sincere.
