Chapter 2913: When Night Falls (42)

However, since the plan had already begun to be implemented, Constantine felt it was better to persist. But out of curiosity, he did a study.

He discovered that as the bloodline became thinner and thinner, that is, biting one after another, many vampires had almost no power, only weaknesses.

That is to say, they don't know any magic, their strength is not much stronger than ordinary people, they still need to rely on sucking blood to survive, and they fear sunlight and holy artifacts. They are more like half-humans and half-vampires.

But perhaps because of this, they have the biggest advantage, that is, the control of the father who transformed them is not so strong. Although it still exists, it may be because the bloodline is too thin, and it is difficult to sense it when the distance is too far.

This allowed Constantine to see a possibility.

Perhaps there is no need to engrave runes on the heart. Constantine only needs to select those vampires with very thin bloodlines and send them to the past. Then their father might find it very difficult to contact them. After all, the farthest distance in this world is time.

Or rather, it can be tested which generation of vampires' bloodline can be strong enough to control descendants across time. Except for these vampires, aren't the descendants of all other vampires free after being sent to the past?

The results of the experiment were more optimistic than Constantine imagined. The infinite expansion of vampires brought many evil consequences, one of which was that the number of such thin-blooded vampires was unimaginably large.

So Constantine changed the plan slightly. Now he doesn't need vampires to take the initiative to find him. He goes directly to find these thin-blooded vampires, puts a sack on them, and throws them into the time gate.

When these vampires were thrown into the past, their fathers in the present could not contact them, and in the past they returned to, their fathers might not have become vampires yet, or they themselves had not been transformed into vampires, so their fathers naturally could not control them.

This caused the vampires on the timeline of the past to be even more chaotic. In addition to the vampire Flash who had a big appetite, there was a group of confused newborn vampires who were neither controlled nor organized.

Then Constantine discovered that the sudden outbreak of the vampire disaster a few months ago seemed to be caused by him.

After some research by Constantine and Schiller, the truth is actually like this.

They returned to the past, found Barry who had not been transformed into a vampire, and let this group of normal Flashes deal with the vampire Flash.

They went, but time was moving forward normally. The Flash knew that on a certain day in the future—Constantine and Schiller told him roughly the time, which was about a few months ago—he would be transformed into a vampire.

Then the Flash would naturally think, if I avoid becoming a vampire, wouldn't all these vampire Flashes cease to exist?

Although Constantine and Schiller persuaded him, if the vampire had targeted him long ago, it is estimated that no matter how he struggled, he would eventually become a vampire. But how could the Flash not try?

He felt that as long as he stayed in an absolutely safe place during the time he might be transformed into a vampire and didn't get bitten, then thousands of vampire Flashes would disappear into thin air.

He knew, and the vampire Flash naturally knew, so the primary goal of the vampire Flash was of course to ensure that he was bitten.

Compared to the normal Flash, their advantage was that they knew how they were bitten, so they kept driving Barry, making him go to the place where he was attacked before.

The normal Flash ran in front, and the vampire Flash chased from behind. They passed through several cities, including the cities where superheroes were located.

The vampire Flash was tired of running and naturally had to eat. Just as Constantine and Schiller speculated, they all grabbed people nearby, which led to the first wave of missing persons a few months ago.

Then Constantine and Schiller threw those young vampires to the time points of the past, and many of them fell at time points after that.

They were very confused, but they still had to eat. However, they didn't have the ability of the vampire Flash to grab people without knowing it with the Speed Force. They still used the old set of vampires, turning into bats at night to attack humans.

This made the superheroes officially realize that this population disappearance might be related to vampires.

And the vampires that already existed, they might have received the Vampire King's order and were dormant, not intending to come out at all, and suddenly found that their takeout was stolen.

The number of these young vampires was not large, but they didn't eat less. The Superman they attracted also caused the local vampires to suffer.

The local vampires were also strange. They checked and checked, and found that this group of guys was not in the genealogy at all. No vampire could control them, and the method of forced control could not make them stop.

So, the two sides fought.

Constantine and Schiller had been sending newborn vampires from the present to the past, so there were more and more newborn vampires. What should the local old vampires do if they couldn't beat them? Naturally, they thought of ways to expand their troops and began to transform humans into new vampires.

This is the truth of the explosive expansion of vampires a few months ago.

That is to say, there was no such vampire disaster, because there was this vampire disaster, the vampire disaster would happen.

That is to say, it is not that the Vampire King did not consider the consequences of infinite expansion, but in order to deal with these free vampires sent from the future, they had to expand like this.

This also explains a question of Constantine, that is, Mary's pure-blood vampire plan was not ready yet. The Vampire King was there, but he had not combined with the spouse used to dilute the bloodline to give birth to the descendants Mary wanted who had both reason and ability. How could Mary allow the Vampire King to make such a big move?

This vampire disaster did no good for Mary. Such a big move would definitely attract the attention of the Justice League. The current Vampire King is just a transition. It is far from the true Magic King that Mary ideally wants to pass down through bloodline. This is not opening champagne in the middle of the game, this is opening champagne before the starting gun has even sounded.

And Mary, who had absolute control over the Vampire King, almost couldn't make such a decision voluntarily. That is to say, she was actually forced to be helpless.

It is estimated that Mary is also going crazy. Where did this group of vampires come from that can't be found and don't know how to control???

Finding that this trick was useful, Constantine simply mobilized the members of the Justice League Dark and asked them to capture these vampires everywhere, making the war state of the past more and more intense.

This well alleviated the public security pressure of the superheroes in the present, because without these newborn vampires, the speed of vampire expansion slowed down significantly. The Martian Manhunter sitting in the Justice League soon discovered that the trend of vampire spread was controlled.

At this time, the three giants of the Justice League were joining forces to fight the vampire monster. Because it could use shadow magic, Superman's attack as the sun did not work. They still had to use traditional methods, which was a three-sided siege.

Actually, it was not just three sides. The Arkham Knight and Doctor Strange soon rested and joined the battle. Under the siege of five people, the monster soon became scarred.

Before long, Batman successfully tripped the monster with a trap, Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth flew out with a swoosh, binding the monster's sturdy arms, and Superman shot off most of the monster's body with a laser.

The huge vampire monster fell down with a wail, the magic power began to dissipate, and the vitality gradually weakened. Doctor Strange used his last strength to summon the dead vampire monster again.

Constantine, who had basically handed over the work to his companions in the Justice League Dark, told Batman about Mary. Needless to say, with the help of the vampire monster, Batman would naturally make this stupid and arrogant woman suffer a big loss.

But Constantine didn't idle either. He and Schiller had one last job to do, which was to find this Vampire King who had been hiding behind the scenes all along.

Schiller hadn't forgotten that there was an inside ghost in the Batman family. If nothing went wrong, he should be the so-called Vampire King.

On the way back to Wei En Manor with Constantine, Schiller recalled all the previous details, and he soon determined the target.

"Do you have any plans to deal with him?" Constantine asked.

Schiller shook his head and said, "We don't need any plans. As long as we can determine the suspect and produce evidence, and hand all this over to Alfred, the old butler naturally has a way."

"Who do you think it is?"

"There is a detail worth noting," Schiller tapped his back of the hand lightly and said, "When the other me invaded the Batcave, Cassandra was locked outside the Batcave's gate."

"So what?"

"Batman wouldn't design the security system to be so stupid, unless someone deliberately wanted to drag Cassandra, the strongest combat power among the Robins, so that the vampire invading the Batcave could succeed."

"But he didn't know that the invader was actually you."

"Yes, so after he found out that something was wrong, he let Cassandra in again."

"Full of loopholes."

"Yes, as long as you get the system records of when the security system was intervened, it will be clear who did it."

Constantine already had the answer in his heart.

When Barbara was caught, Dick only sighed in his heart.

"So you are the Vampire King, and he..." Constantine turned to look at Dick and said, "He is the spouse Mary prepared for you?"

Barbara's eyes were red, neither affirming nor denying. Schiller shook his head lightly and said, "Fortunately, because Mary was worried about the tragedy repeating itself, she deliberately sent a thin-blooded vampire to transform Dick, so that he could dilute your bloodline."

Because the bloodline was thin, he was not so crazy in the first place. After I pulled his fangs, he basically sobered up. Otherwise, if you really let Batman's eldest son have an accident, you and your mother would probably be in big trouble."

Gordon, who rushed over, couldn't believe this scene at all. He said, "Why is Barbara here? Is there any misunderstanding?!"

"I think you are the one who misunderstood," Constantine said. "Have you done a paternity test? Are you sure she is your biological daughter?"

Gordon was stunned by the question. After all, who would suddenly suspect this and go for a paternity test?

Schiller looked at Dick again and asked, "Can you say it now? How are you able to move freely in the sunlight?"

Dick sighed deeply, lowered his head, and said, "I drank someone's blood."

"Who?"

"Starfire, but I know she is not Starfire."

"Then who is she?"

"Barbara Gordon," a voice came, and a vigorous figure jumped in from the window. She had a head of fiery red hair.

"Starfire?" Jason called out her name.

"You can call me that, but I am the real Barbara Gordon. I was stolen by someone when I was an infant. Precisely because I knew this, I chose to use Starfire as my code name and have been lurking by your side."

The red-haired woman took off her mask. Under the mask was the face of Starfire that the Teen Titans were familiar with, but looking closely now, she indeed looked more like James Gordon than the red-haired woman tied up.

Then she threw out a storage device and said, "I've been watching her. Look at this."

The old butler connected the storage device to the TV screen, and soon, the truth was revealed before everyone's eyes.

A few months ago, the Flash came to Batman with a panicked face. He looked very embarrassed and terrified, as if someone was chasing him.

But at that time, Batman went to investigate the vampire rampage in Cat Getan City, and the Flash came to nothing. Just when he wanted to leave in frustration, Barbara appeared behind him and said a few words to him.

The Flash seemed very anxious, asking Barbara to open the Batcave for him to take refuge. Barbara pretended to agree, leading him to the entrance of the Batcave, but released poison gas when he entered the disinfection room, drugging him and transforming him into a vampire.

But miraculously, in the last scene, there seemed to be two vampire Flashes, and the other one flashed and disappeared.

Another video was Zan about to return to his room, but Green Lantern stopped him, hoping that he could replace the Flash to go out on patrol. Zan, although confused, finally went.

When he came near Cat Getan, the patrol spaceship he was on suddenly received an emergency order, asking him to go to Wei En Manor immediately. Zan was confused, but worried that something happened to Batman, he immediately rushed over. But what he met was not Batman, but Barbara with red eyes.

Although there were still many mysteries unsolved, at least, the identity of the Vampire King was unquestionable.

Now, everyone only had one last thing to do, which was to thoroughly solve the vampire Flash and rescue the Green Lantern who was kidnapped by him. ===== CHAPTER 2914 =====
