"Who are you? FBI or CIA?"
As expected, two silver-plated armor-piercing bullets couldn't kill the Vampire Queen.
Before long, Cisserus had recovered from her injuries through the power of blood. Then, while rapidly dodging bullets flying from a distance, she clearly transmitted her voice into the ears of Mike and the others.
Even now, she didn't intend to instantly kill Mike, her perfect "prey."
After all, for the Vampire Queen's long life, handsome men who also smelled so "fragrant" were rare.
Mike gestured with his hand, and Cross and Wesley, who saw this from a distance, stopped their attacks.
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Mike, the captain of the X Squad of the MIB." Mike looked at the Vampire Queen, who had stopped in front of him with greed in her eyes, and then asked, "So, Cisserus, can you tell me where the other pure-blood Vampires are hiding?"
Unlike the miscellaneous Vampire Deacon, pure-blood Vampires possessed greater energy.
Moreover, these Vampires, like ancient nobles, had more servants, and usually didn't need to act themselves when they wanted to drink human blood.
Their subordinates naturally prepared it for them.
As for a high-profile pure-blood Vampire like Cisserus, she was an exception among pure-blood Vampires.
Of course, the reason for her high-profile actions might also be because her bloodline, Goody and Stacy, were not strong enough.
"You want to move against pure-blood Vampires?" Cisserus probably hadn't expected the MIB to be so ambitious. After a moment of stunned, she laughed and retorted, "Then, Mike, can you tell me where the MIB headquarters is?"
At the same time, the Vampire Queen used Mind Reading on Mike.
Her identity as a pure-blood Vampire, along with her own powerful strength, made Cisserus feel that the MIB's actions had offended her.
So, after a brief thought, she wanted to find the MIB and give them a "lesson."
The law of the jungle, this was very consistent with the survival principles of Vampires.
"Huh? I think you've misunderstood something —"
Facing the Vampire Queen's confident hypnosis, Mike shook his head slightly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, activating counter-hypnosis.
Immediately, Cisserus discovered with horror that she was fixed in place, with only her eyes and mouth still able to move.
"How is this possible? What did you do to me?" Although Cisserus recognized this as hypnosis, she still couldn't understand how a human could possess such powerful abilities.
"You're right. I also have your ability, and it's stronger." Mike smiled, then used a mental strike on the Queen Vampire in front of him, continuing his previous question: "Now, can you tell me where the other pure-blood Vampires are?"
Mike indeed had the ability to easily kill the Queen Vampire in front of him, but his Mind Reading couldn't accurately extract the information he wanted.
He had encountered this situation before.
For example, with Angel One and Alexander, whom he had met a while ago, Mike couldn't read their exact thoughts.
He could only get a general idea.
This might be related to mental strength.
Later, when Mike's mental strength was powerful enough, he might be able to successfully use Mind Reading on powerful supernatural beings.
The current situation was that Mike couldn't accurately read the Queen Vampire's thoughts, only roughly discerning that there was also a "mutual aid society" or similar organization among pure-blood Vampires.
It was probably used for exchanging tips on blood-sucking and such.
However, Mike couldn't read the hiding place of the pure-blood Vampire organization through Mind Reading.
This was also why he kept Cisserus alive.
"Good opportunity, as long as I cut off her head and seal it in a heavy metal box, I can completely kill the Vampire Queen..." Van, who had just regained his freedom, didn't understand why the Vampire Queen suddenly couldn't move.
But he knew this was his chance to kill her.
So he called his son, and together they rushed towards the Vampire Queen.
Although Cisserus was surprised by Mike's ability, seeing Van and his son rushing towards her with a crossbow and an axe, she couldn't help but disdainfully say, "Mortals, you cannot kill me..."
At the doorway, Mike also realized that the Vampire Queen wouldn't easily give up information, so letting her suffer a bit was also a good plan.
Shifting his attention, Mike snapped his fingers from afar towards Needy.
Immediately, Needy's body relaxed, and she regained her ability to move.
Then, she silently retracted her twin blades and quietly walked to stand behind Mike.
From the looks of it, there was no difference from before when she was frozen.
In fact, Needy had a lot more combat potential to be unearthed, but after being assigned to the X Squad, she hadn't undergone combat training for a long time.
And this "failure" might not be a bad thing for her.
Meanwhile, in the center of the living room, facing the immobilized Vampire Queen, Van pulled out an electric saw from somewhere. With his son Joe's Van Helsing's giant axe, they finally cut off the Queen Vampire's head.
Blood and minced flesh splattered everywhere... "Go to hell—!"
Ignoring the bloodstains, Van picked up the Queen Vampire's head, which had rolled to the side and was still cursing incessantly, and then placed it in a small lead box.
Then, the small iron box was presented to Mike.
"Last chance, where are the other members of your pure-blood Vampire organization hiding?" Mike, disliking touching the small iron box, patiently asked the question he cared about again.
Of course, this was also one of his few moments of patience.
If the Vampire Queen still didn't know better, Mike wouldn't mind making her disappear immediately.
"Do you think you've really got me?" Cisserus, with only her head remaining, let out a mad laugh, then her eyes turned towards Mike and she said, "Originally, you could have gained eternal life, but now I've changed my mind. If I get the chance, I will drain every drop of blood from your body."
It was at this moment that the hypnosis placed on her, with only her head remaining, failed.
"Oh no!"
As Van shouted, Cisserus's head flew out of the small iron box.
Van, whose reaction was still a step too slow, only closed the box on empty air.
"Haha... Ha..."
Cisserus, with her head reattached to her body, then let out an even more frantic laugh: "I told you, you cannot kill me!"
At the same time, this Vampire Queen used the Power of bloodline Control, intending to reclaim all the essence blood from Goody and Stacy.
She planned to strengthen herself first, and then plan her escape.
On the other side, Goody and Stacy, as their original power and life force drained away, both painfully clutched their heads, their faces visibly shriveling at a rapid pace.
Yes, the Vampire Queen was also stripping the life force of the two bloodline descendants while reclaiming their essence blood.
"Damn it—!"
Watching the beautiful Stacy gradually become "old," Joe angrily raised Van Helsing's giant axe, ready to fight Cisserus to the death.
Then, in the next second, he was thrown back even faster, knocking down his father behind him.
For a moment, Joe and his father, along with the Vampire "sisters," were all enveloped by the terrifying pressure of the Queen Vampire.
"Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice!"
Just as Cisserus was about to fully reclaim the essence blood, Mike took a step forward.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Vampire Queen was once again frozen in place.
This time, she couldn't even move her eyeballs.
Only intense fear remained in her eyes.
Although Cisserus had seemed arrogant before, she had actually always been wary of Mike, or rather, Mike's hypnotic ability.
To avoid being hypnotized again, she had carefully avoided making eye contact with Mike.
That was a prerequisite for activating hypnosis.
However, she didn't know that besides hypnosis, Mike also possessed the Power of Retribution. This ability, activated by the Power of Faith, was extremely effective against dark creatures.
Without further ado with Cisserus, Mike increased the output of the Power of Retribution, and then the Vampire Queen, like winter snow meeting the scorching sun, slowly "evaporated."
Ultimately, nothing was left.
Afterward, the essence blood and life force that the Vampire Queen had not yet absorbed in the air, having lost control, eventually returned to Goody and Stacy.
This also restored the "beauty" of the two beautiful Vampires.
"Alright, mission accomplished. Everyone, go back and rest!" Mike, who had done some futile work, clapped his hands and declared the mission over.
Of course, he didn't do entirely useless work tonight.
At least he saw that Van and his son Joe indeed had some abilities.
They were qualified to be peripheral members of the X Squad.
"Oh, and this is your reward." Before leaving, Mike didn't forget to toss two vials of blood toxin antidote to Goody and Stacy.
This was the promised reward for the two Vampires for their mission.
Carefully catching the blood toxin antidote, the two Vampires timidly watched Mike and the others leave.
In their eyes, Mike, who could easily kill the Vampire Queen, was far more terrifying than the Vampire Queen herself at this moment... Soon, only the Vampire sisters and Joe and his father remained in the room.
"I haven't seen the sun in many years. I've decided to use this to watch the sunset tomorrow..." Goody, having come to her senses, seemed to have made a decision.
Having lived a repressed life for over three hundred years like a mouse, she decided at this moment to free her life.
Stacy, who understood what her sister was saying, did not try to persuade her, but simply gave her a big hug.
After all, Stacy had also decided to use the antitoxin serum to regain her human identity. Although that would make her lose her youthful and beautiful appearance, being able to return to a normal human life was already very good.
"How touching..." Van made an untimely remark, then pulled his son and said, "We should go too, or your mother will worry."
Yes, the reason Van stayed until now was entirely because he was waiting for his son.
"Perhaps you can come to my house, my house is quite big..." Joe shook off his father's hand and looked at Stacy, inviting her, "I mean, my house has many empty rooms for you to stay in. After all, after using the antidote, your previous residence might not be suitable for you."
The junkyard was indeed not suitable for human habitation.
Stacy, who decided to become human again, did not refuse Joe's kind offer... The next morning, before the sun came out, two beautifully dressed young women, hand in hand, arrived at the Fifth Avenue commercial district.
Enjoying the breath of life... Then, accompanied by the noisy morning crowd, the two Vampires injected each other with the antitoxin serum.
Facing the first ray of dawn, the youthful and beautiful Stacy's eyes slowly developed subtle wrinkles, and her body instantly "aged" by more than ten years.
From the appearance of a girl under twenty, she transformed into a woman in her thirties.
However, none of this mattered. Stacy, having regained her human senses, showed a happy smile on her face at this moment.
"How beautiful."
On the other side, Goody, who was gradually turning into a centenarian and still aging, looked at the rising sun in the sky, reminiscing about her life.
"This is for you," Stacy, who had prepared a farewell gift for her sister in advance, held a small cake in both hands and looked at her, saying, "You told me you like sweet things."
"Thank you." Goody, whose movements were already slow due to aging, tremblingly picked up the cake and took a small bite.
Then, with a happy expression, she turned into a "skeleton," ending her life of over three hundred years.
"My condolences!"
Joe, who had been silently watching Stacy from behind, stepped forward to comfort the "girl" when she was sad.
Then, the two, with a tacit understanding, embraced on the street.
"I knew this would happen, but... so be it." In the corner, Van, who had followed because he was worried about his son, witnessed the entire process.
With the Van Helsing bloodline, he naturally harbored prejudice against Vampires.
However, he also realized that his son and Stacy, who had returned to being human, had probably developed feelings for each other.
So, for his son's happiness, Van made a decision that went against his ancestors: to let everything take its natural course.
