At this moment, a strange odor began to spread. It was a sweet and metallic smell, like that of rusted iron. Accompanying this odor was a scene that made the three girls scream involuntarily.
Blood, countless streams of blood, gushed from the ceiling of the bar like a fountain, drenching the passionate men and women inside. Some of them, like Chari, screamed, but most of them welcomed the blood, opening their mouths wide and revealing their grotesque faces.
Those who were originally kissing passionately had now turned to real biting, their sharp fangs exposed as they bathed in the blood. They embraced the lost lambs, enjoying their feast.
For them, this was a hall of feasts, but for the lambs, it was a true hell.
Chari pulled her sisters, weakly leaning against the bar, the only place not drenched in blood.
Beside her, the woman's cold lips were already touching her face. She whispered to her, "I warned you not to stay too far from me!"
At this time, one million feet above the surface, Zhou Yi was quietly floating in the endless space, gazing at the earth below. The endless sunlight shone on him without any obstruction, making him feel as if every cell in his body was breathing and growing.
This was not the first time Zhou Yi had come to such a distance from Earth. From this position, he could see the distant sun beyond Earth's shadow and clearly see everything below him. His superhuman vision allowed him to see every person and even every tiny detail through millions of feet of distance.
Furthermore, his vision could penetrate layers of obstacles, allowing him to see everything he wanted to see, those beings familiar to his spiritual senses due to long-term interaction. For example, his sister or his mother were within this range.
Here, under the unfiltered sunlight, Zhou Yi's eyes seemed to have turned golden. In these golden eyes, countless things were captured.
Whether it was the satellites orbiting Earth, the air carriers floating in the atmosphere, or the millions of people living in New York. Even those deep underground targets.
The endless sunlight provided him with power, and this power supported his infinite vision, making every cell in his body feel as if it were breathing and growing.
Here, Zhou Yi sometimes felt as if he had become a star. He didn't need food, water, or even air; he could exist for a long time with just the countless radiations in the universe.
Of course, such an existence was too boring for Zhou Yi. In comparison, he preferred human life.
In these god-like eyes, Chari's whereabouts had already been detected by Zhou Yi. Locking onto his target, Zhou Yi flew away at an even faster speed than when he came.
"Sir, our satellite has captured a strange heat source. It is moving at 25 Mach and is about to leave the satellite's monitoring range."
On the air carrier, the technician monitoring the instruments reported to the cold beauty commander.
"Deploy all our satellites to monitor it, report its position, and immediately capture its image!" The cold beauty commander calmly issued orders. She didn't want this target to escape her grasp again.
"The target image has been captured and is being transmitted to the main monitor. However, the target has been lost."
The cold beauty commander stared straight at the 3D image in front of her. A blurry image was gradually becoming clear.
After a while, the cold beauty commander issued another order.
"Notify the director, and immediately seal today's incident in the archives. Security level: Level 7!"
The staff mechanically carried out the commander's orders. On the 3D image in front of the commander, a figure was clearly visible, friction with the atmosphere creating numerous sparks.
With a loud "Boom," the revelers suddenly felt the entire underground bar tremble. A fiery ball crashed through the thick cement and concrete, landing in this dark underground den. Dust and blood flew everywhere, and the entire bar fell silent, leaving only the monotonous, intense music.
Several unfortunate individuals who were directly under the fiery ball were instantly reduced to ashes by the terrible heat. One person who tried to move away was suddenly grabbed by a hand from behind, his neck squeezed and lifted into the air.
"Chari, you three come behind me!" Zhou Yi, who seemed to be holding a chick, scanned the entire bar with his golden eyes and said to the three girls behind him.
"Yi, how can it be you?" Chari, who never expected her brother to appear in such a way, felt her mind go blank. Her two companions were not much better.
After all, such an entrance was quite shocking, as not everyone could have the special effect of a human cannon.
At this moment, the creatures that were enjoying the feast became agitated and restless. They began to show their fangs and emit terrifying growls, ready to pounce on Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi ignored these monsters, only looking curiously at the one in his hand, even opening his mouth to examine his fangs.
"What are you, vampires? This is quite interesting!" After making this comment, Zhou Yi applied a little force, and the vampire's neck was twisted into a terrible angle. The vampire didn't even have time to scream before turning to ashes in a bright flash of light.
This action was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, instantly causing a great commotion. The creatures, resembling vampires, could no longer contain their beastly nature and pounced on Zhou Yi in groups.
Their bloodstained faces and terrifying growls created a hellish scene, making Chari and the others scream shrilly.
However, they soon realized that the situation was not as they had imagined.
Facing these vampires, Zhou Yi did not show any weakness. In fact, he completely exceeded their expectations.
Zhou Yi stood there and punched the nearest vampire straight in the face. The vampire was thrown back as if hit by a speeding truck. Dozens of vampires behind him were scattered like leaves in a terrible storm.
At first glance, it seemed like a fiery snake had suddenly appeared among the vampires, but everyone present knew that it was the scene of vampires turning to ashes in flames.
For a moment, the entire bar fell silent, almost comically so.
"Human! Leave here, take your friends. We can pretend you were never here." The mysterious female vampire, who had been staring at Zhou Yi without any action, stood up and made her demand.
With the mysterious female vampire's words, all the vampires present involuntarily stepped back, clearing a path to the outside. Clearly, this female vampire held a high status among the vampires. Of course, this was also related to Zhou Yi's violent display.
Hearing the female vampire's words, Zhou Yi turned around with a smile and walked towards her step by step.
"What gives you the confidence to speak to me like this!" His pupils burned like golden flames, and with each step, countless pebbles floated into the air, disintegrating into dust. The entire bar seemed to tremble with his steps. At this moment, he was like a god, majestic and inviolable.
As Zhou Yi approached, the mysterious female vampire felt a deep-seated fear, not from reason or the heart, but from the instinct deep within her blood. As an ancient vampire, she had not felt such fear for a long time. In her long life, the only thing that could bring her such fear was the sun, which brought endless light.
For a vampire, the approach of the sun was terrifying. But the endless fear seemed to have paralyzed her, and she could only helplessly watch, waiting for her end. Until a purple crystal screen appeared in front of her.
"Chari, what are you doing?" Chari's sudden appearance blocked Zhou Yi's actions, and for a moment, he returned from a god to a human.
Chari did not pay attention to Zhou Yi's transformation. She just looked up and said seriously, "Brother, you can't hurt her. She was protecting us just now!"
Zhou Yi looked at his sister with a stern face, and the terrifying expression made Katie and the other girl hide behind her. But Chari still spread her arms and firmly blocked Zhou Yi. From her eyes, Zhou Yi saw a precious spirit.
Seeing Zhou Yi's stern face raise his hand, Chari instinctively closed her eyes. To her, Zhou Yi was not just a brother but more like a father. She knew she had made a mistake today, so when Zhou Yi raised his hand, she was prepared to receive a slap.
But what she got was just a large hand on her head.
Chari secretly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Yi with a helpless expression.
"What, did you think I would slap you?"
"I thought you were very angry, so I thought you might want to hit me to vent your anger," Chari said softly, her obedient demeanor completely different from her usual self.
"I am angry, but I won't hit my own sister. And we need to have a serious talk about today's events, but after I deal with this problem here. Now, take your friends and go home immediately. Wait for me there."
"Okay! I understand!" Chari lowered her head and opened the crystal portal, but she still asked with some concern.
"Promise me, you won't hurt her, I think she's a good person."
"I promise you!" Zhou Yi waved his hand impatiently.
Hearing the answer she wanted, Chari pulled her friends and entered the crystal portal, but she immediately stuck her head out again.
"Yi, which home should I go to?"
"Of course, the estate on Long Island. Leave here, now!"
Only after the crystal portal disappeared from his sight did Zhou Yi let out a long breath. He turned to the mysterious female vampire and said, "Having a mischievous sister is not an easy task. I haven't had the pleasure of knowing you, Miss Vampire!"
"Nisha, Nisha Makinos." The female vampire, Nisha, still looked at Zhou Yi with some fear, which made her answer his question involuntarily.
"Very good. I believe as two different species, we have taken the first step towards friendly communication. So, let's take the second step. What are you, vampires or something else?" Zhou Yi came to the bar and tapped the table, where the bartender was sweating coldly. "Buddy, give me a drink with ice. I've run a long way and am almost dying of thirst."
As the bartender trembled and began to mix the drink for Zhou Yi, the vampire Nisha, standing beside him, began to answer his questions as he had requested. Compared to the beginning, she was calmer and spoke more clearly.
"As you can see, we are vampires, originating from a clan in Romania, Europe. Our ancestors came here hundreds of years ago and established the current situation!"
"The story of vampire entrepreneurship doesn't sound very interesting." Zhou Yi's eyes swept over the vampires, who looked like demons, and his disgust was evident.
