The Death List Novel - Chapter 504
Chapter 504 Blood Word
“Qin Lun, will this trick really work?” Grant asked unwillingly as he looked at Clint, who was sucking blood from Hawkeye Serras’s chest.
“It’s hard to say if it will work. However, this girl’s strength is very poor and she doesn’t have any fame. It’s hard to imagine that she would drop any high-value items. Stop complaining!” Qin Lun put the Secret Silver Arrow back into his storage space and waved his hand happily.
After Clown killed Intergula, Qin Lun pulled out the Secret Silver Arrow from Hawkeye’s chest, allowing Clint to finally swallow his last breath.
After the Secret Silver Arrow was brought into the shattered starry sky, the magic runes on it were solidified. Although it consumed all of its magic energy every time it was used, as long as it returned to the starry sky, the Secret Silver Arrow could replenish its magic energy by spending the shattered crystals. It could be considered a very expensive and recyclable item.
To Qin Lun’s surprise, not only did Hawkeye’s death bring Qin Lun a hidden branch of the [Kill the Avenger], it also dropped an archery specialty. Although the learning conditions of this advanced archery were exceptionally harsh, it was still the only specialty skill the two of them had dropped so far.
One had to know that there were a total of three levels of combat skills, from mastery to specialization. Often need to grasp the basic skills, and then through the consumption of a large number of low-level stress training scrolls, can be achieved.
Most of the skill scrolls that appeared on the market were at the lowest level of Skill Mastery. Even Intermediate Proficiency was rarely seen, and Advanced Specialization Techniques were even unheard of.
Qin Lun guessed that Eagle’s Eye would drop this specialized archery technique. It was probably due to the Starry Sky’s calculation of battle compensation. Because Clint himself had no superhuman bloodline, but he was also a famous avenger, he was actually more involved in history in this world than the Sandstorm Queen.
It was a bit unreasonable for such an Avenger to be killed without any drop reward. That was why such a specialized skill scroll was produced.
From beginner to advanced, a certain combat skill required a large amount of stress training scrolls. This archery scroll was extremely valuable. Even if the learning requirements were harsh, they could still sell for at least a hundred thousand broken crystals.
Unfortunately, Hawkeye was dealt with by Qin Lun alone. Grant didn’t have any credit, so he could only look at the other captive, the vampire girl Serras, with his red eyes.
Before killing Eagle Eye, Qin Lun had already agreed to use Serras to continue to divide the Avengers and Alcatel.
The method was very simple. Serras was descended from Alcatel, and his abilities were similar. After vampires, he would imprison the victim’s soul in his body at the same time. For an expert like Hawkeye Clint who was in his final moments and had a higher soul quality, if Serras had sucked his blood at this time, he would have turned his soul into a slave to the dead and wouldn’t even have a chance to enter heaven.
Hawkeye was an American hero, and the Avengers could not sit idly by and watch him become a vampire’s slave dead. This was a matter of principle. If Alcatel defended Serras’s descendants, the two sides would have to fight to the death.
At this time, Qin Lun and Grant did not know that Intergula’s death had unexpectedly stimulated Alcatel, causing him to lose his rationality and even cause riots in the River of Death. The Avengers and the Green Hunters had already decided to kill Alcatel. Whether Serras could suck the blood from the Eagle Eye or not was irrelevant.
The other consequence of killing Eagle Eye was that Qin Lun and the other two had a small disagreement. Originally, both of them thought that Hawkeye and Serras were a bit weak and wouldn’t drop any good items, so they decided to use the vampire girl as bait.
However, Grant didn’t expect Hawkeye to drop such a valuable item, so he was a little reluctant to part with it. After all, Serras was captured by him alone, and the ownership of the dropped items was also his.
Even though Grant himself didn’t like this mutated vampire bloodline, even the worst bloodline items could sell the value of dark gold equipment in the shattered starry sky. This was a huge amount of income that was hard to give up.
In the end, Qin Lun persuaded Grant. Compared to Hawkeye, Serras, who had yet to truly become a vampire, was even weaker, and his reputation among superhumans was far inferior. The former was a famous Avenger agent of SHIELD, and the latter had only been a vampire for a few months, so there was no history involved.
To kill such a storyline character, it was hard to imagine that the starry sky would give out a bloodline item worth tens of thousands of dollars. If the value was too small and the plan was ruined, then the gains would outweigh the losses.
“Huh? The’little thing ‘I left outside can’t even sense it. Let’s go. Someone’s coming!” Qin Lun suddenly frowned and greeted Grant.
As they left, the two of them turned to look at the “work” left on their desks and Serras, who was still vampiric by instinct. They couldn’t help but glance at each other, revealing a sinister smile as they quietly retreated into a dark corridor outside the living room.
…
Only a moment after Qin Lun and the other two left, the sound of footsteps resounded again in the deathly silent manor.
“Sir, this is Hellsings headquarters!”
The broken door of the living room was pushed open from the outside, and two men and a woman appeared at the door.
Two of the three men, one wearing a black priest’s uniform and carrying a square radio station on his back, while the other wearing the linen robe of a bitter cultivator, held a black leather Bible in his hand. This was the white-haired youth Qin Lun had spied on the Beetle Warship. He was suspected to be the first Knight of the Round Table, Lancelot.
Yes, compared to the two men, standing behind them, a woman with a white veil on her face was a little low-key. She wore a large black robe and held a Red Cross medical kit in her right hand. She seemed to be a nun who was in charge of the rescue work on the battlefield.
After the three of them entered, they couldn’t help but cover their mouths and noses. The stench of blood in the hall was so strong that even bitter cultivators like them couldn’t stand it.
“Is this the headquarters of HELLSING?” The white-haired youth glanced at the bloodstains on the walls and ceiling and frowned slightly. He said with disgust, “Jack, are you kidding? I think this place looks more like a slaughterhouse.”
“These bloodstains were spilled after a person died. Someone deliberately displayed them at the scene.” The young priest with the radio on his back squatted down, dipped his finger in a bit of blood and put it into his mouth. After pursing it, he spat it out and said with a serious expression.
“The male corpse on the ground is Hawkeye Clint Barton, the young girl … She’s still breathing. She’s a vampire. Judging from the strength of her aura, she’ll wake up very soon.” The priest stood up and walked to the desk in the middle of the hall. There was something that looked like human remains there.
The wreckage was ripped open and his stomach was torn open. His limbs and organs had already turned into a pile of rotten minced meat. His chest had been torn open with brute force. Two rows of bloodstained sternum were exposed in the air like sharp blades, like a livestock that had just been slaughtered.
Jack only glanced at it and felt a strong nausea. He couldn’t help but turn his gaze away. Resisting the tumult in his stomach, the priest forced himself to turn his head and observe the remains again.
“The victim is a female. Her head is missing and her corpse was desecrated after her death. Judging from the bruises on her bones … the murderer seems to possess excellent surgical anatomy!”
After examining the wreckage, Father Jack’s attention slowly focused. After picking up a small piece of cloth from the wreckage, he immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Lord Lancelot, this person … is Intergula, the leader of HELLSING. This armband is unique to her!”
“Is she Intergula?” The white-haired youth frowned slightly. “Jack, check it again. I don’t believe that Fan Haixin’s last direct descendant will die so easily. The Pope had a decree that Fan Haixin was meritorious in hunting down the heretics and sacrificed his life to the Lord. Even those bastards in the Law Palace Hall shouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Sir, I think Father Jack’s judgment is correct. Look!” The nun who had been silent behind Lancelot suddenly raised her head and pointed at the chandelier on the ceiling.
Lancelot and Jack looked up at the same time, and their bodies trembled when they saw it clearly.
At this moment, the lights that had originally supported the dilapidated villa had basically been extinguished. Apart from a flickering lamp on the desk, there was no other light in the hall. This was also the reason why the three of them had initially ignored the light above their heads.
However, their eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, and they quickly saw the things above their heads. She saw a calm-looking female head with an angelic smile hanging in the center of the chandelier. Her soft blonde hair hung down, giving off a bizarre and bizarre beauty.
‘”Indeed, it’s Intergula. I didn’t expect …” Lancelot’s eyes were slightly absent-minded. However, a trace of anger quickly appeared on his face as he growled softly, “This is blasphemy. Who exactly is it? Jack, examine her body again.”
“Yes, Your Excellency!” Jack took a deep breath and answered in a low mood.
The Holy See’s Chamber of Law and the HELLSING organ have been at odds with each other because of their different positions. However, everyone respected Intergula, a strong woman, and did not want to force her too much. This was also the reason why the Crusaders had retreated without success, and the Holy See did not want to be stained with the blood of the descendants of Van Helsing.
Jack examined Intagula’s body again, but his movements were much more cautious. It was more like a respectful collection than an autopsy.
“Eh?” After another autopsy, Father Jack discovered something strange. When the murderer dissected the corpse, he seemed to have deliberately kept his back intact. The corpse lying flat on the desk had basically intact skin on its back, and only a line of blood was written on it.
“Ugly person … dissected … beauty?” Father Jack frowned and translated, but he didn’t quite understand the meaning behind the words.
