"Shh, don't get agitated, Lochina. We can talk about other things after Mommy gets you out. The bad uncle next to you is very vigilant. If he finds you, you'll be in even more danger."
"Woo... Lochina, be good, listen to your mother, don't get agitated..."
"Good boy/girl. From now on, listen to Mommy's instructions and make sure you don't arouse the suspicion of the kind uncles outside."
"What does the Queen Mother want Lochina to do?"
...
After hearing what Hilliot said, Locina remembered what she was told. For safety's sake, she reluctantly broke off contact with Locina.
At this moment, Hiriote, who was on her way, couldn't help but smile slightly.
"A beautiful and lovely girl may attract a lot of trouble, even death..."
"But everything has two sides. A cute girl can make many things twice as easy, or even..."
This theory, which sounds somewhat outrageous, will soon be proven true and credible by strategist Lyken Jones.
Chapter 214 Human Nature
"What?! The peacekeeping forces are here?! How did they know—"
Upon hearing Jones's report, the president of Spielberg on the other end of the phone was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair.
"Mr. President, it seems I still haven't shaken off these vampires who are like persistent leeches. They really do have some way of locating this artifact spirit."
Jones glanced coldly at Lochina, who was still speechless and looked terrified. He continued to ask the person on the other end of the phone:
What ideas do you have?
...
A moment later, Spier presented his solution.
"The theft of the Holy Lance a while ago caused quite a stir, but even having witnessed the event firsthand, I have no evidence to suggest it was the work of vampires; moreover, at the previous public meeting between the Vampire Queen and the United Council, she personally denied the human accusations. If the true identity of this vampire spirit girl were revealed to her face, the vampires would be unable to defend themselves. Add to that the fuel of the fire from these extreme vampire-hating thugs around them..."
Upon hearing this, Jones couldn't help but flatter, "That's exactly what I was thinking, Mr. President. For us, manipulating public opinion is a piece of cake. The fact that the sacred artifact was stolen can completely ruin the reputation of the Vampire Council. In the end, without the group even having to do anything, the angry human forces will be able to make the Vampire Council and the Vampire Queen, these two thorns in their side, disappear from the world completely."
These two genuine villains devised a foolproof plan and then quickly put it into action.
However, they overlooked some things that seemed insignificant to them...
...
...
...
The peacekeeping force and the anti-bloodsettlers reached a temporary consensus, agreeing to first try to bring the people hiding in the abandoned factory to the surface before deciding on what to do next.
After the peacekeeping troops used a vehicle-mounted loudspeaker to call out into the factory for several minutes, a neatly dressed, calm white man walked straight out.
He didn't look like a vampire, but the Bloodhate's strange device kept beeping.
A blood-hating person shouted, "You're not a vampire, so why is the detection device beeping?!"
The man raised his hands, indicating that he hadn't brought any weapons, and calmly walked towards the crowd at the door.
"Relax, everyone, I'm on your side. The information you received about 'an important vampire being hidden here' is true, but that person is not me."
He pulled a business card from his jacket pocket and flicked it with his wrist.
The peacekeeping force commander, who was not far away, took the business card with suspicion.
"Lark Jones, a senior executive at Spiel Group?"
The unshaven officer looked up, squinted, and sized him up for a moment.
"Oh, no wonder you look familiar. You're one of the think tank members of the Spier Group. I've seen you on TV. Well, Mr. Jones, we're all waiting for your answer. Don't keep us in suspense."
He pointed with his thumb to the group of highly unstable thugs next to him.
"The peacekeeping forces may not target you, but the guys over there might."
...
Jones confidently shifted slightly to the side and pulled a trembling little girl from behind him. She was not only bound tightly with strange ropes, but her mouth was also gagged with a wad of cloth, preventing her from speaking.
"She is an important figure in the vampire clan."
At that moment, both the peacekeeping forces and the bloodthirsty people stared wide-eyed.
Seeing their expressions, Jones gave a cold, knowing smile and said:
"Judging from her attire, I think you all already know her identity. Her apparent identity is a member of the vampire royal family, a vampire princess who has never appeared in public before."
"And her true identity is enough to convict the vampires of countless crimes—evidence of their crimes!"
He spoke passionately, completely ignoring the terrified look in the eyes of the silver-haired girl beside him, and raised his hand towards her.
"Now, let me reveal her identity to you all!"
...
"Wait a minute."
The unshaven officer abruptly interrupted him.
"So you're the one who brought her out of the Vampire Council, right? Mr. Jones, why did you kidnap her?"
Jones chuckled, "That's because of her true identity, of course—"
...
"so what?"
The officer interrupted again.
“Look at her arms, her face. Her body is covered in ligature marks, bruises, and burns…”
What extraordinary identity does she have?
How can you treat her like this with such peace of mind... treat a child?!
...
Jones's smile froze.
"But sir, her identity is—"
...
The officer, unable to contain himself any longer, rubbed his forehead.
"Oh my God..."
He immediately raised his gun and roared:
"...You bastard, you've broken the law, do you know that?!"
"How can someone kidnap, abuse, and imprison a child... and still laugh shamelessly?"
“I don’t care who she is. Even if she’s an alien, she shouldn’t be subjected to this kind of torture! No country on Earth has laws that allow such atrocities against children!”
No sooner had the peacekeeping officer finished speaking than the trembling silver-haired girl spat out the gag in her mouth and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah—Help—"
The officer held his pistol aloft, his angry face contorted with bulging veins that extended down to his thick arms.
"Release her immediately and surrender! Otherwise, we have the right to take action!"
After a moment of shock, Jones's eyes were immediately filled with crimson.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. The Spire Group will soon reconsider its cooperation with you."
The officer waved his hand dismissively.
"Soldiers, move out! First team, use tranquilizer grenades; second team, engage in pincer movement!"
The peacekeepers dispersed in an orderly fashion, and several of them immediately pulled out stun guns and rushed toward Jones, who was standing in the open space.
"【No Illusory Image】".
Om-!
The bullets fired at Jones by the soldiers in the back row all bypassed him at an odd angle and then struck the bloodthirsty thugs who were watching from the sidelines.
Puff puff--
"Brothers... what's going on?!"
"Peacekeeping forces, you bunch of bastards!"
The mentally unstable mob was unsurprisingly ignited by a tiny spark.
They immediately raised their guns at the peacekeeping troops, and the scene quickly spiraled out of control amidst a burst of gunfire, descending into chaos.
"Ugh!"
Despite his swift response, the peacekeeping commander was grazed in the shoulder by a bullet before he could take cover.
"My God... everything's in complete chaos!"
Although he was also a hot-tempered person, he did not lose his temper like the group of thugs who were injured, and immediately gave orders.
"Team One, Team Two, don't worry about us, get that damn kidnapper under control!"
bang bang bang-
The firefight outside the factory continued, and the peacekeepers who were isolated inside, upon receiving orders, did not hesitate to continue blocking Jones as he attempted to escape.
Within moments, Jones was surrounded by soldiers. His footwork was utterly inadequate against these well-trained special forces.
“This is troublesome. Although offending the United Council is not good for the group... but since things are like this now—don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
...
Just as he was about to use the power of [Illusory Image] to escape, suddenly, the important person beside him... the silver-haired girl who was tightly bound and powerless to resist, took a step in a strange direction for no apparent reason.
"Ok?"
Jones glanced at it suspiciously.
call out--
boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Several bullets, seemingly out of nowhere, struck her with pinpoint accuracy!
To be precise, it grazed all the blood-suppressing ropes on her body by a hair's breadth, and the high temperature and impact of the bullet immediately broke the ropes!
All the ropes binding Lochina and suppressing her power were shot through almost instantly, and they came from the blind spots of the [Mirror Prison]'s defenses!
Such terrifying accuracy, such tricky shooting angles—in Jones's memory, only one person possessed such ability.
"Alexei?!"
But there was no time for Jones to be surprised by Alexei's survival—or even defection—as a chilling aura quickly arose around him.
The little girl raised her head, her delicate and pretty face full of angry puffs.
"Bad uncle...Lochina is very angry now!"
Although she would never reveal herself by pulling out the magic gun in front of everyone, Jones was absolutely certain—
He no longer had a second chance to tie up the little vampire.
call out--
Because several bullets flew from a distance, heading straight for his head.
Jones shouted, "[Illusory Image]!"
Chapter 215 Do your best
In an instant, gunfire erupted outside the abandoned factory. The peacekeeping forces were overwhelmed by the frenzied attacks of the Bloodhounds and could only watch helplessly as Jones fled back into the abandoned factory, leaving the little vampire girl standing there, bewildered.
The blood-hating people were clearly quicker to react to matters concerning vampires than the peacekeeping forces.
"Kill her!"
At the leader's command, several thugs immediately rushed towards Lochina.
Lochina exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
