Chapter 523 I Have Someone Above Me!
"You can only see text when you bully me, right?"
Mu You was speechless. If he encountered such a stupid option somewhere else, he might not think too much, but now in this artificially designed scene, he couldn't help but wonder if the options were deliberately restricted.
He could obviously rely on his attributes far beyond ordinary people to escape without exposing himself, but there was no such option. Either he was beaten or he admitted his weakness, otherwise he could only kill.
"Is it another wave of plot killing?" Mu You thought. From the perspective of game production, he could only understand that this was to give players a warning at the beginning, so that players could recognize the fact that they were at the bottom.
When Mu You was hesitating about how to deal with this, text suddenly popped up in the game.
【“Excuse me, please let me pass!” An Asian-looking man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, showed a flattering smile to the gangsters around him, and came to your side: “Brother, you came here. I told you that I have found the disc you are looking for. Come to my house and watch it together!”】
【After the man finished speaking, he wanted to pull you away, and at the same time he looked at the gangsters around him: “Sorry, everyone, this is my friend. He just came here and doesn’t know the rules. Please give me some face.”】
【The gangsters around looked at each other in bewilderment, but hesitated for a moment, but no one stopped him. 】
【The moment the man approached, you already realized that he was also a vampire. Do you follow him to leave? 】
“Yes.”
A man suddenly jumped out to save the situation. I don’t know if it was arranged by the plot or if he really happened to be next to you. Anyway, you should follow him and leave first to see what he wants to do.
【No one else stopped you. You followed the Asian man all the way out of the underground black market and came to an empty street somewhere on the ground. 】
【"You are asking for your life. You just arrived here. How dare you come out alone? Do you know how many people are watching you now?" After confirming that there is no one around, the man looked at you with a 'crazy' face. 】
【"Who are you?" you asked. 】
【"My name is Tianqi Genzhong, I am from your tribe!" the man said. 】
Mu You was stunned. Tianqi... plus the 'East Asian face', is this a Japanese?
【"Same tribe?" you asked. 】
【"Yes, you are the descendant of Alex, right? Alex and I both belonged to the Blood Shadow Clan, and we are good friends."】
【"It's just that Alex left the City of Enoch, and the leader of our clan died of a strange disease, and the Blood Shadow Clan fell apart. Over the past thousands of years, other members of the clan have died or disappeared. Now, I am the only member of the original Blood Shadow Clan left, and I don't want to join other clans, so I can only regard myself as a "wanderer"..."】
"Alex..."
Mu You pondered, this name is indeed familiar, it seems that the ancestor of the blood clan in the Star Spirit Realm has this surname.
So, this person recognized that he was the descendant of that ancestor, so he came to the rescue?
However, that ancestor died more than two thousand years ago, so the time when he gained power can even be traced back to the beginning of the era!
In other words, has this person survived in this city for more than three thousand years, and has retained all the memories of these years?
Thinking of this, Mu You asked in the game.
[“When Alex was here, did this city have such advanced technology as it does now?” you asked. ]
[“Of course, the Enoch City in my memory has always been like this, and it has never changed.” Tasaki Genzhong answered. ]
After reading it, Mu You knew that this person could not have survived from three thousand years ago, because three thousand years ago, the earth was still in the Bronze Age, and no modern technology was born at all.
So this person is either lying, or the administrator implanted a fabricated memory, but he himself did not realize it, but believed it.
[“You just said that many people are watching me? What does that mean?” You looked at the man and asked. 】
【“Yes! Since you are the descendant of Alex, you must have inherited Alex’s ‘Talent Absorption’ blood law, right? You should know that this blood law is known as the ‘essential blood law for the royal family’, because only with this blood law can you have the opportunity to gather the talents of the major clans into one, thereby ruling all clans and becoming the true king of the blood clan!”】
【“Unfortunately, I was unlucky and failed to inherit this blood law from the Lord. Therefore, this blood law was lost after the death of the Lord of our Blood Shadow Clan. The ‘Talent Absorption’ in your blood is the only one in the entire city! Such an important blood law, the nine major clans naturally want to master it in their own hands, so now almost all the blood clans who have received the news are looking around for your movements! You actually dare to run around!” Tasaki Genzhong said seriously. 】
"So that's how it is..."
After reading this explanation, Mu You finally understood why he, a weak 'newborn', could be invited to join by the three clan leaders and even be personally received by the regent.
At first, he thought that the plot was designed in this way, and it was a 'beginner tutorial' that all players would go through. Now, it seems that they all treat him as 'Tang Monk meat', and they are so enthusiastic about him just because of his bloodline talent.
[“Of course, you are still a ‘newborn’ now, the generation is too high, and the talent transmission of the heart blood can only be transmitted from the low-level to the high-level vampire, and each time you can only inherit part of the blood law by luck. Even if people from other clans catch you now, they can’t directly inherit the talent from you. Therefore, you are still safe for now, but when you advance to the eighth generation or below, someone will definitely not be able to resist attacking you!”]
[The man explained the situation to you earnestly, and suddenly asked casually: "Oh, by the way, the first blood law you learned after waking up was ‘Talent Absorption’?"]
The three options below are [Answer truthfully], [Lie to get by], [Avoid answering].
Mu You raised his eyebrows.
Of course, he would not be naive to think that this person suddenly ran out to save him without any intention.
According to the other party, the blood law of "Talent Absorption" is even more coveted than the "Lord of the Rings" in "The Lord of the Rings". All other clans want to get his talent, so how can the other party be an exception?
Now the other party suddenly asked him if he had learned talent absorption. It is very likely that he is ready to attack him. As long as he answered "yes", the other party would probably attack him immediately and control him.
However, after a little hesitation, Mu You chose to "answer truthfully".
[Faced with the other party's sincere advice, you also chose to tell the other party truthfully that you have learned "Talent Absorption" and currently only have this blood law...]
[When the man heard this, the slight expectation on his face suddenly turned into surprise, and then he showed you a ferocious face. The man said nothing, but suddenly rushed towards you with a sneer, as fast as lightning...]
[Your shin bone was broken by the opponent, and you temporarily lost your ability to move...]
[Your right shoulder was pierced by the opponent, and your life dropped sharply...]
Mu You had checked the information of this person when he left the black market just now. This is an 8th generation vampire. Not to mention the other party's blood law, just this generation gap means that he is doomed to be this person's opponent at all.
So at this time, facing the opponent's surprise attack, Mu You only resisted symbolically, and did not fight desperately, because he knew that the other party was not trying to kill him, but just to control him.
At the same time, Mu You was also waiting. If the purpose of the regent recruiting him was really for his talent, then he didn't believe that the regent would not arrange people to follow him.
At this moment, he was waiting for the dark man to make a move. He, the prey favored by the regent, was about to be picked by someone in advance. He couldn't be indifferent.
Mu You also took this opportunity to determine who was secretly following him and how strong he was, so as to facilitate his future actions.
[The man easily disabled your ability to move in a few seconds, and sprinkled a handful of gray powder on you with a grim smile. You felt weak all over and your consciousness quickly dissipated in the powder...]
[The man took out the rope, but just as he was about to tie you up, several sounds of breaking air came from the sky, and half of the man's body suddenly burst into blood holes, and several silver needles flew out from the other side of his body and sank deeply into the ground. ]
[In an instant, the man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open...]
[At the same time, a familiar figure landed not far in front of you. You looked up vaguely with your remaining consciousness and found that the person who came was tall and wearing a black windbreaker. It was the masked man you had seen before...]
"It's him..."
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. He had guessed before that the masked man might still be following him, and now this has been completely confirmed.
This man is a fourth-generation vampire, and he can easily kill this eighth-generation man.
After confirming the murderous intention of the Asian man and who the hidden person is, Mu You immediately pressed the pocket watch.
[Time flows, and you go back to ten seconds ago. ]
[At this time, the Asian man has just asked you a question and is looking forward to your answer, but you are already in the future and have seen his face. You choose...]
"Lie to get by."
[You told the man that you have not learned the talent absorption yet. In order to protect yourself, the first blood law you learned is "super sense". ]
["Super sense? Really?" The Asian man immediately asked back without giving up, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes. ]
["It's true! And I can feel that there is someone up there who has been following me all the way..." You nodded, and as you spoke, you turned your head mysteriously and looked at a tall building in the dark behind you, which was where the masked man was hiding just now. 】
【"What?" The Asian man was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction you were looking at, but he didn't dare to look any further, and quickly retracted his gaze, his expression uncertain. 】
【"It was the Regent, definitely someone arranged by the Regent! The Regent has long coveted this blood law that is known as the 'must-have for the royal family'. Now that you are here, he will definitely not let it go easily... The person sent by the Regent to follow you is probably at least a fifth-generation vampire!" The Asian man said with certainty, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to have any murderous intentions towards you anymore, but hurriedly tried to get close to you. 】
【"The reason why the stalker hasn't attacked you yet is because he is not sure whether you have learned 'Talent Absorption'. Remember, even if you get the blood law points next time, don't click this blood law before getting rid of the other party, otherwise you will definitely be subdued by the other party immediately, and then I won't be able to protect you!" The Asian man said half-threateningly and half-advisingly. 】
["Don't worry, I still understand the principle of being guilty of holding a treasure. For safety, I will carry this talent with me until I die, and I will not learn it." You "promised" the Asian man. ]
["Well, you don't have to be so careful..." The Asian man said awkwardly: "In fact, after you are sure to get rid of the person who is following you, you can learn this ability. This is the core ability of our "Blood Shadow" clan. You must shoulder the responsibility of carrying it forward. Of course, during this period, I will spare no effort to assist you..."]
Learn it and let you wait for you to rob it, right?
Mu You sneered. He just looked back and accurately pointed out the hiding place of the masked man. In this way, the masked man must believe the super sense he learned first, and will not attack him in a short time, but will protect him during this period.
As for the man in front of him, it is estimated that he has not completely believed the previous words. After all, he can't be sure whether there is anyone hiding there, but with this threat, he will never dare to easily attack himself again.
In this way, he is equivalent to having two bodyguards temporarily.
【You tell the Asian man all the tasks that the Regent has assigned to you, and ask him what he thinks. 】
【“It is this task indeed!” The Asian man patted his chest confidently with an expression that I had expected long ago: “Don’t worry, I know where that group of people are! I will take care of this task!”】
【“Oh? Even the Regent doesn’t know who they are? You actually know where they are stationed?” You asked in ‘surprise’. 】
【“Of course, in such low-level affairs, those noble vampires who are high up may not be as well-informed as us country folk!”】
【“Follow me!” The Asian man ran deep into the alley after saying this, and beckoned you to follow. 】
Then Mu You followed the man called ‘The Unfortunate’ to his residence.
The man showed him his ‘arms’ in his residence.
【“…This is the latest model of pistol this year, and this is a special silver bullet, specially made for dealing with vampires, take it.” The man picked up a brand new pistol and a box of silver bullets from the weapon box and stuffed them into you. ]
[You got 'Revolver'*1. ]
[You got 'Silver Bullet'*32. ]
["You only have one supersensory blood rhythm now. Just hide behind and help me sense danger later. Don't show up. Leave the killing to me!" The man 'concernedly' told you, then picked up a submachine gun and stuffed his waist with various small firearms and silver daggers. ]
["Thank you, brother Yuanzhong!" You clasped your fists towards the man with 'tears of gratitude'. ]
Mu You smiled secretly. Someone offered to be his shield and free labor, so he would naturally not refuse.
