Chapter 21: I Was Sent by God
As it turns out, this thicker and longer screwdriver is significantly more convenient in confined spaces compared to steel balls.
After casually dealing with the social elite man, Lucas quickly eliminated the other ordinary vampires one by one, just like before.
After doing all this, he turned and looked at the corner.
A white woman was tied up there.
He was in his thirties, blond, with delicate and soft features, and his face was flushed with a sickly redness; you could see the steam rising from it.
Witnessing Ekhost's execution, the woman's pupils contracted sharply.
Looking at the boy in front of her, whose face was still somewhat immature and who was clearly still in middle school, Kelly felt a chill run down her spine.
The dangerous aura emanating from the other party even gave her a sense of dread, as if she were facing a natural enemy.
An overwhelming sense of fear and suffocation, beyond her control, washed over her like a tidal wave, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
"Let me guess your name... Kelly Goodwin, right?"
Lucas, like a predator locking onto its prey, slowly approached the woman.
Unlike other vampires who are bound hand and foot.
The woman was clearly treated differently—her limbs were simply bound with pure silver chains.
The only person who could make the head of the Canary Group go easy on him was probably his ex-wife.
Therefore, the moment Lucas realized the other party's identity, an idea popped into his mind.
"How...how did you know? Who are you?!"
Ignoring Kelly, who was still in a state of shock,
Lucas slowly said, fiddling with the screwdriver in his hand:
"I've heard that high-level vampires like you, infected by white nematodes, not only take longer to mutate, but also retain a certain degree of humanity until the transformation is completely complete."
Of course, any remaining humanity will eventually disappear completely as the infection progresses...
How about we make a deal before that?
As a reward for keeping your promise, I can let you go and find your child.
"Of course, you can choose to go against or disagree with the deal, but the price will be that you will lose the chance to see your child forever."
"What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"
Kelly's voice immediately turned pale.
"Besides, I don't know what you're talking about. I was just feeling a little unwell, and that damn Ifre brought me here and even snatched Zack away from me..."
Lucas, however, seemed not to hear him and continued talking to himself:
"As a high-ranking blood servant, even if you haven't fully completed the transformation, I believe you should be able to perceive the difference between yourself and those inferior bloodlines—I know you can control them."
"As for your question, I think that at this point, there's no need to deceive yourself anymore. You understand your own situation."
Kelly looked even more flustered.
She had seen the state of those vampires before they underwent mutations, and they were very similar to her. They would suddenly develop a high fever without warning, feel weak all over, and have an aversion to silver and any silver utensils.
"What kind of deal do you want to make with me?" Kelly asked with a heavy expression, clinging to her only thought of her child.
"It's a very simple deal. I'll go to the prison and grab some death row inmates to speed up their rehabilitation. That's all you need to do."
"I don't know why you did this, but you...you're a monster!"
The woman trembled and said in terror.
But her distorted maternal love still led her to agree to the deal.
"Yes, there is indeed a devil living inside me! Besides, you made the right choice."
Lucas snapped his fingers, stepped forward, and with a casual tug, the finger-thick sterling silver chain snapped in the woman's astonished gaze, as fragile as tofu.
"You are not free until you meet the targets."
Lucas naturally couldn't let the other party out of his sight.
He grabbed the woman and jumped from the second floor, ignoring her cries of pain. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the distant mountains and forests. Once the surroundings were completely deserted, he used a pure silver chain to tie the woman to a tree.
After doing all this, Lucas waited patiently.
Waiting for nightfall.
However, before dark,
He heard hurried footsteps about fifteen miles away and the sound of tires screeching against the ground further away.
A group of fully armed men, their faces covered by masks, rushed into the forest.
But they only did a quick search of the surrounding area.
……
Small town hospital.
When Eve saw the dead vampires on the bed and the empty corner where they were bound, her expression changed repeatedly.
He did not believe that his ex-wife had killed the vampires.
His intuition told him that the mysterious person from before had reappeared.
But he still doesn't understand what the other party wants to do!
It could even be said that there was absolutely no clue whatsoever.
"Is it that person again?" Nora walked up to him, her expression worried.
Compared to the last time, their losses this time were even more devastating.
Not only did the ex-wife of the leader next to him disappear, but he also lost a high-ranking vampire whom he had finally managed to discover and arrest.
"I don't know, but I think it's very likely."
The most urgent task now is to quickly figure out what the other party wants to do, and how they managed to accomplish all of this in front of everyone!
Ifre was a complete workaholic; once he made a decision, he acted immediately and left quickly.
...
Night fell, and the moonlight was faint.
The cornfield was covered with a dark bluish-gray hue, with the stalks and broad leaves overlapping and intertwining, like a dark velvet carpet spread across the earth.
Lucas moved.
The town of Smallville has two prisons.
One was an early, small prison, and the other was a newly built detention center.
The detention centers primarily house minor offenders.
Serious offenders who have committed serious crimes will be temporarily detained in the old prison, awaiting transfer to Kansas State Prison.
Lucas's goal is the latter.
This prison, which is as old as the town itself, stands alone on the edge of the wilderness, surrounded by a layer of barbed wire. Searchlights sweep slowly through the night, occasionally malfunctioning and short-circuiting.
Besides, there were very few police officers guarding the area.
Yes,
For these death row inmates who have already been sentenced to death, there is no value in keeping them under strict guard.
Because their relatives simply cannot come up with a large sum of bail to secure their release.
As for whether these people can escape, it can only be said that such things are not uncommon.
Lucas infiltrated the area effortlessly.
The overhead incandescent lights crackled, and the narrow corridor echoed with curses and spitting.
"Damn it, another one's been locked up... and she's got delicate skin, haha, my soap's going to come in handy!"
Upon seeing Lucas, some of the bearded death row inmates' eyes lit up, staring at him menacingly. If it weren't for the iron gate, they would have pounced on him immediately.
"No, I am different from you. I have only come here to take you to see God, that's all."
Lucas's face disappeared into the shadows, his voice indifferent.
