28. Fury wants to cause trouble.
the next day.
Ji Yuan woke up at the clinic, made himself a cup of hot tea, and looked at today's Global Times.
Daily Global Times:
Shocking! Vampires really exist and feed on humans, followed by a series of almost censored images in the newspaper.
Shocking! Certain high-ranking officials in the United States are involved in some unknown deal with vampires. For the video, please visit the official website of the Global Times.
shock!……
"Looks like Spider-Man made a lot of money this time."
Ji Yuan looked at the news in the newspaper and sighed. With the video and pictures, they must be making a fortune. Peter is also getting better.
"It looks like there's going to be another protest."
During his months in New York, Ji Yuan has seen mostly protests. There are protests for everything. It's truly the land of free America. There are protests every day, and of course, there are plenty of protests against vampires.
"Hey, Eddie's revelations are so explosive, he's not going to get fired early, is he?"
Ji Yuan suddenly thought of this question. According to the plot of this universe movie, Eddie should eventually be accused of conducting human experiments by the Life Foundation, but without concrete evidence, he will be falsely accused and lose his job and girlfriend.
Now that Eddie has made such a bombshell revelation, bringing the vampire issue into the open, the power that vampires have accumulated in society over the years should not be underestimated. Perhaps some high-ranking figures are vampires.
Immortality has always been a popular topic, and for most humans, it is an unimaginable temptation. Vampires need the protection of high-ranking humans, while some high-ranking humans need vampires to achieve immortality. Eddie offended two high-ranking beings in one fell swoop.
It's easy to foresee the hardships Eddie will face in the future; it's always difficult to be a good person, no matter the era.
Ji Yuan decided to find an opportunity to give Eddie a little boost. He always believed that good people should be rewarded. He hadn't been able to do it before, but now that he was, he wanted to do what he wanted. There was no grand sense of righteousness involved, just doing what he wanted.
"Mr. Ji Yuan, it's Fury calling," Jarvis said.
The unexpected phone call disrupted Ji Yuan's thoughts.
"Take it."
"Consultant Ji Yuan, I think I have some questions I need to ask you." Fury's voice came through the phone.
Ji Yuan's eyes darted around, and he replied, "Okay."
A few minutes later, a S.H.I.E.L.D. car arrived at the clinic, driven by Coulson.
"Coulson, you look great. You've been sleeping well lately, haven't you?" Ji Yuan greeted him from the back seat.
"Yes," Coulson smiled. "I haven't had insomnia since that therapy session, and I'm a completely different person. I should thank you for the treatment."
Since that treatment, Coulson has never experienced palpitations or insomnia again. Not only has his health improved, but he has also become more energetic at work.
Ji Yuan smiled. Actually, Coulson's problem stemmed from the Nightmare. The main reason he was alright was because Ji Yuan and the Ancient One banished the Nightmare projection. Without the Nightmare's power supply, the Nightmare's servants would soon perish under the suppression of the magic circle.
During that period, no one knows how many Nightmare Servants infiltrated Earth. Ji Yuan and Gu Yi's mission saved many people.
Soon, they arrived at another branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. This branch was different from the last one; it was located in a residential building that looked completely inconspicuous.
Entering the SHIELD branch, which looked unremarkable on the outside but was actually extremely luxurious inside, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder it was SHIELD's number one corrupt official. Fury must have countless branches like this, and he also had safe houses in various regions.
Before long, they arrived at Fury's office. As soon as they entered, they saw the large braised egg that was still reflecting light under the lamp.
Ji Yuan laughed and said, "Fury, your skin is so well-maintained, it's practically glowing."
Fury was speechless. Every time he met this doctor, he was mocked. He said, "I'm here to ask you some questions about mysterious creatures, like skin care. I can tell you the formula in private."
Ji Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need for skin care or anything like that. I really like my hair. As for the problem, it's still one million each."
Fury nodded, his expression unchanged, looking quite confident. He said, "I want to know how to kill a vampire."
Ji Yuan was taken aback. Was Fury asking about the vampires because he was under pressure or had other plans?
"Fury, your S.H.I.E.L.D. has existed for so long, I think you should know about vampires, and surely you know how to kill them," Ji Yuan teased.
“No, no,” Fury replied. “What I want to know is the real way to kill vampires, the way to eradicate them at their source.”
In fact, methods for killing vampires have long been widely known, but according to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information, vampires seem to have a certain root cause, and it would be futile to not kill the root cause.
Although Fury now possesses a virus capable of eliminating vampires, he cannot guarantee that it can eradicate the root cause, not to mention the influence of some high-ranking human figures.
This is a difficult question for Ji Yuan to answer. The progenitor of vampires is Dracula, and Dracula is like a bug in the system. He is a loophole in the rules of death and cannot die.
In the comics, the Goddess of Death, one of the five primordial deities, once tried to kill Dracula by adjusting the rules of death. However, the price to pay was too high, and the loss outweighed the gain. Thus, Dracula became immortal within this "mechanism".
"To kill vampires at their root, we need to kill their progenitor, but..." Ji Yuan paused, "but Dracula has no concept of death."
"What?" Fury looked utterly shocked.
"There's nothing I can do," Ji Yuan said, spreading his hands. "His existence is a loophole in the rules of the universe. Even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand."
"Fury, have you ever considered that the reason there have always been so many vampires isn't because they're so strong or so hard to kill, but because there's a problem within humanity itself?"
While vampires certainly possess extraordinary power, their weaknesses are too obvious and too fatal, making them no match for humans. The fundamental reason why vampires have never been eradicated lies in the greed of some humans for immortality.
Even if all the vampires in the world were killed, leaving only Dracula, there would still be humans who would use rituals to transform themselves into vampires, starting a new cycle of reincarnation.
Fury said with a grim expression, "You're right. Many high-ranking humans are vampires, or they collude with vampires. They use the blood of their fellow humans to maintain their youth."
Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Dracula can't be killed, but that doesn't mean he can't be imprisoned or sealed. If you can catch him, I can make him feel so good that he'll never appear again and won't be able to use the power of the Root."
