The flow of people in front of London's largest library was heavy, and the disappearance of five Vampires naturally attracted the attention of those around.
Soon, two patrol teams that had received reports appeared before Mike.
"Someone reported seeing you kill five humans with their own eyes. You're being accused of murder; please cooperate with us."
Although no victim's body was seen at the scene, out of caution, one patrol Captain walked toward Mike with a gun raised in one hand and handcuffs in the other.
Other patrol members also raised their weapons, vaguely encircling Mike's position.
"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side." Because he would need these people to help maintain order in a moment, Mike did not crudely use [Hypnosis] on them.
He slowly opened his arms to signal he had no malicious intent, then, before anyone could react, quickly reached into his coat and pulled out an ID card.
Just as the patrol members were tense from Mike's movements, Mike unfolded the small booklet in his hand.
"Interpol?" The nearest Captain saw the full picture of the ID.
"Yes, I am handling a cross-border case. I just happen to need your cooperation..." As the atmosphere at the scene eased, Mike gestured to the ID in his hand and said to the patrol Captain: "Do you need to verify my identity?"
Ever since becoming an MIB agent, the organization had issued many valid IDs for Mike, including ICPO, CIA, and FBI credentials.
Facing the current situation, Mike could either state his MIB identity or pretend to be Interpol.
However, given that he hadn't contacted the local MIB, bringing out the Interpol identity would be more beneficial for his subsequent actions.
"Sir, London patrol reporting to you. How can we help you?"
The patrol Captain, having carefully checked the ID, immediately became respectful toward Mike.
One must know that the IDs the MIB issued to this special agent, Mike, were all of high clearance.
"There might be a major riot in this library shortly, so I need you to continue calling for reinforcements to cordon off the area. Don't let anyone get close..." Mike cautioned: "As for the people coming out of the library in a moment, you're also responsible for screening them. Of course, if the situation is impossible, your safety comes first..."
Through his perception, Mike could feel many powerful existences beneath the library. Once these guys went crazy, ordinary weapons wouldn't be able to handle them.
So, just to be safe, Mike gave the patrol team a heads-up in advance.
Given that Mike's internal rank was so high, even if the patrol Captain didn't fully understand his meaning, he didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions.
It was right at this moment that a huge roar suddenly erupted from the library...
"Help! There's a monster eating people!!!"
"God help us, what is that thing!"
"I want to see my mom..."
As the noisy sounds rang out, a crowded mass of people followed closely behind.
Behind the crowd, a monster with a blood-stained face and bulging veins was biting anyone it saw.
In just this short time, five or six people had already fallen at the feet of this monster, blood flowing all over the ground.
"A Hybrid... and one that has lost its mind..." Mike recognized the monster's identity and turned to the patrol team: "Help evacuate the crowd; I'm going to stop it!"
As Mike charged into the library against the flow of the crowd, the patrol Captain finally came to his senses.
"Quick, quick, everyone move! Speed up the evacuation of the crowd, clear a safe exit, and avoid a stampede..."
Now, the patrol Captain finally understood what riot Mike was talking about. After urgently arranging the patrol team's emergency plan, he quickly called headquarters for reinforcements: "This is the London library; a large-scale panic has occurred. We need more manpower to maintain order..."
"An enhanced Hybrid?"
On the other side, Mike blocked the 'Reaper' chasing to the library entrance. This thing combined the advantages of a Vampire and a werewolf, no longer fearing sunlight, and its combat power had increased several times over.
The only drawback was perhaps that it didn't have much intellect and would only follow its instincts.
However, even so, if this new type of Hybrid without obvious weaknesses were to spread, it would inevitably cause a huge impact on human society.
[Hybrid bloodline * Energy + 2000]... [Beast Instinct (Trait)]...
"I didn't expect that breeding a Vampire and a werewolf could create such a monster..."
Watching the mindless, enhanced Hybrid charge at him, Mike sighed and reached out to grab its sharp claws.
In terms of combat power alone, this thing had high stats, stronger than an average second-generation Vampire.
And it was even more bloodthirsty...
But for Mike, it wasn't much of a problem.
"Slap—"
Amidst a huge slapping sound, the 'Reaper's' mouth, which was about to bite Mike's neck, was knocked askew.
Looking at the Reaper, its mouth was foul-smelling; the damage wasn't high, but it was definitely disgusting.
Mike hated guys with no sense of personal space.
So he flipped the hybrid in front of him over, then grabbed one of its legs and, like swinging a sledgehammer, repeatedly slammed it into the ground.
In the rhythmic thumping, the concrete floor cracked, splashing countless dust and debris.
As the smoke cleared, the hybrid in the floor pit had already turned into a pile of mush.
The Beast instinct before death caused this monster to passively transform into a more durable werewolf form.
It could be considered validation of the label "monster."
At this time, the patrol Captain, who was calling for support from headquarters, also noticed the Hybrid's new form.
"Of-Officer... things have changed. I think we should contact that special department. It seems like a werewolf here has been beaten into a meat patty by an Interpol agent..." The confused patrol Captain nearly bit his tongue while reporting the latest intelligence.
Of course, this couldn't be blamed on him.
After all, even with more patrol police, they couldn't deal with a brutal werewolf.
And finding the MIB to deal with such supernatural creatures had become a convention.
Even in London, this was the case.
"A werewolf?..." The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking, then said: "I will contact the London MIB. You guys take care of yourselves—"
The call was quickly hung up, and when the patrol Captain looked toward the library again, Mike's figure was already gone.
...
Speaking of the direction of the library's Underground Room, after the Vampire leader Victor occupied this place, he opened up all the surrounding underground pipes.
Then, through expansion, he forcibly built an underground castle here.
The powerful armed forces and internal circulation system made this place an impregnable underground fortress.
"Victor, it's in vain that I trusted you so much in the past and regarded you as an elder. And yet, this is how you treat me..."
At this moment, at the entrance of the underground castle, the Vampire Selena, along with a group of werewolves and her own enhanced Hybrid partner, Mark, blocked Victor's exit.
It is known that the entrance to the underground castle is very hidden; being able to find this place proves at least that Selena is very familiar with it.
"Selena, my child. Even if you have betrayed me, I am still willing to give you a chance at redemption." Victor opened his arms and said: "Come back, just like before, come to my side—"
As he spoke, this Vampire leader revealed a gentle expression like an old father.
"Stop pretending. Your hypocritical face makes me feel sick." Selena said viciously: "I already know everything. Back then, in order to adopt me, you killed my parents."
"Now, I am going to seek justice for my parents and for those who were killed by you!!"
Over the past hundred years, Selena had been Viktor's capable subordinate, even though she didn't agree with some of his philosophies.
Not long ago, because Victor was dedicated to the experiments on enhanced Hybrids and neglected the management of his subordinates, Selena accidentally learned of her own life story.
With "new grudges and old hatreds," Selena defected from the Vampire tribe and took away Victor's proudest masterpiece—Mark.
An enhanced Hybrid who could completely control his own power and emotions.
Afterwards, Selena even contacted the werewolf tribe in the London area and, in the name of leading the way, made them the force for her revenge.
