Under the lights in the building, dozens of people were silently waiting for Gao Zhiming to come. These people were of all ages, and the only thing they had in common was their pale skin.
These people's extremely abnormal white skin has proved their identity. Compared with their compatriots in the Earthsea, the vampires on the surface are obviously much more modern in their dress.
For example, the man in the lead, his thin body wrapped in a sportswear with three white stripes, a hat tilted on his bald head, he was squatting in the front and smoking marijuana.
Magnus narrowed his eyes slightly, looking down at the weird boy in front of him, and squeezed out cold words from his mouth. "Welcome, welcome, it's been a long time since I have had guests here."
"I have no ill intentions." Under Anna's guidance, Gao Zhiming raised his head and looked at him.
"Sir or Madam, I don't know where you are from, but no matter where you are, killing other people's blood servants at random does not mean no harm."
As soon as the words fell, the pairs of evil eyes in the darkness gradually surrounded him. It seemed that they regarded Anna's action as a provocation.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Anna spoke again: "Do you really think it's a good thing to start a war near the IMF's base? Especially when you don't know the other party's details?"
Magnus threw the rolled marijuana in his hand to the ground fiercely. "No one has ever dared to offend me. You killed my people! You must pay the price!!"
Although Gao Zhiming didn't understand what the other party was saying, he clearly felt the malice coming from all directions. This was too difficult for a nine-year-old child like him.
In order to help his sister, he could only struggle on.
"Really? How come I didn't know that you vampires would care so much about family affection? To be honest, these people are just slaves that you can change at any time when you eat."
"You'd better be careful. Rebellion is a common occurrence among you vampires. One day, they might plot to drain your blood."
Hearing the other party's threat to their father, the other vampires around them opened their mouths slightly, revealing their fangs, and their sharp claws turned into tiger claws.
As soon as Magnus gave the order, he pounced on the self-righteous boy in front of him and tore him to pieces.
"Huh~!" The dozen or so vampires around Gao Zhiming suddenly caught fire, and they quickly turned into ashes amid screams. "I don't like others to get too close to me, thank you."
This scene frightened all the vampires present, and they all moved away from Gao Zhiming with terrified expressions.
Sudden death without any warning is too weird. No one knows how this person did it.
And this might just be one of the other party's abilities.
But Magnus smiled when he saw this scene. As he raised his hand slightly, the people surrounding Gao Zhiming quickly retreated.
"Haha, you seem to know a lot about us. Have you ever had contact with us?" Magnus put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked towards Gao Zhiming.
"It was a long time ago. My husband enjoyed dealing with you guys."
"Oh? Then please introduce your husband to me when you have time. I like making friends. I am Viscount Magnus, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Facing the other party's outstretched hand, Gao Zhiming grabbed it and shook it gently. "You can call me Bandage."
"Okay, Ms. Bandage, how can I help you? I'm sure you're not out for a walk at this late hour?"
"I'm curious, you're here, the IMF is also in this city, but they don't care about you?"
Magnus did not answer directly, but pointed to the building in the distance, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened.
"We can go in and talk slowly. Of course, if you don't feel safe, you can just turn around and leave."
Following Anna's instructions, Gao Zhiming quickly raised his foot and walked straight inside.
Some were listening to music with headphones, some were talking to each other with glasses of wine, and some were eating each other's food.
If it weren't for the huge age range of these people, people would definitely believe that this was a big youth party.
After observing for a while, Anna asked Gao Zhiming to go to an empty sofa in the corner. Viscount Magnus behind him said nothing and followed silently.
As the green-brown marijuana roll was lit and stuffed into Magnus' mouth, a burnt smell filled the air.
"Actually, this place was originally a wife-swapping club, but it was recently occupied by us. We have only been in this city for a short time." The Viscount began to answer Anna's previous question.
"Please apologize for our previous rudeness, but you know that the IMF's infiltration capabilities are too strong, and the only outcome of an organization being completely infiltrated is that they will capture and eliminate it. Intern it. This kind of thing happens every year."
As the other party spoke, he looked at the black bandages on Gao Zhiming's body.
Anna sneered in her heart, and understood the other party's subtext. "You mean to say that my identity is a shadow spy of the IMF?"
Magnus shook the lit cigarette butt gently, "No, I don't doubt you. All IMF members in this city are already under our surveillance, so you are a friend. Right?"
Anna stopped talking at this time. Since the other party was a chatterbox, it would be better to let him talk on his own.
Magnus smiled in response to Anna's silence. "Normally, we wouldn't gather so many people in a human city, because food alone is a hassle."
"But we have gathered together this time, Ms. Bandage. Can you guess what we are planning to do by gathering so many of our compatriots? And this is just one of them."
"What are you doing? You can't attack the IMF site, right?"
Anna had only said it jokingly, but the expression on the other person's face made her feel that she was right.
"My friend, do you know about the 315 incident? This person raided many IMF sites in just over a year. He became famous overnight."
"Although she died, she let us know that the IMF is not indestructible and it can be defeated."
"There have been many imitators of hers in other places lately, and these people are causing great trouble for the IMF. Cracks have begun to appear in their iron rule."
A city map was spread out in front of Gao Zhiming. A circle was drawn in the center of the city, and three words were written in blood next to the circle: IMF.
The IMF's base was actually right in the city center, which was something Anna had never imagined before. No wonder she couldn't find it after searching for so many days.
The look on Magnus's face began to lighten with excitement.
"Ms. Bandage, you are very powerful. You can help me with this matter."
"Think about it, why should we hide from him? Why can't we walk on the street openly? The IMF has been sitting on the throne for long enough, it's time for a change!!"
Although the other party's words were passionate, Anna was not a fool. These words were just superficial. The other party was using her as a gun.
No matter what they say, the other party seems to really intend to attack the IMF site, which is the most important thing.
No matter what their purpose is, all he wants is the branch left by Charles and the mirror that can modify memory.
