The Death Knell

In fact, vampires, mutants, humans, and basically bad gangsters all have similar habits. People who make a living in the dark always like to hide in dark places.

Su Ming knew where to look for the blood-eating vampires.

The corpse given to Richards by Quincy must be the blood-eating pie, because there are two vampire vegetarians in the Dracula hunter team, so they can't take action against the vegetarian pie, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered.

The short-haired 'Alucard' prince is the force guarantee, and Hannibal King is the think tank. Without them, at least half of the team will collapse.

Dr. Richards is not Howard. He is just a young researcher now. He is not married, has no family, and has no hobbies. He lives alone in Philadelphia.

Apart from the SSR agent who protects him, he only has a cat for company, and Quincy probably took a liking to him for this.

Living alone, nervous, and with low emotional intelligence, this is simply the standard suspense victim template.

It is very inconvenient to transport a corpse, especially a vampire's corpse, which will fail as soon as it sees the sun.

They were so poor that the six of them only had a classic Beetle car, and there was no room for the corpse.

Then this vampire must be the one Quincy found in Philadelphia, a big city only 70 miles away from Camp Caspian. This was calculated.

A city with a population density sufficient to support the survival of vampires.

If someone disappears for no apparent reason in a small town with only a few hundred people, it will soon be exposed.

But if you kill someone in a city with millions of people, as long as there is no body, the police will not open a case.

Therefore, Su Ming only needs to copy this step and wander around the darkest and most chaotic places in Philadelphia to find the vampire.

He and Parham each ate half of the supper. To be honest, it wasn't delicious at all, but the former major seemed to have no sense of taste and ate most of it without changing his expression.

After that, the three of them came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania through Mordo's portal.

Different from New York, the buildings here are more charming and full of historical heritage. There are two large rivers passing through the city, and you can seem to hear the sound of flowing water.

As the former capital of the United States, Philadelphia, like all cities, is full of chaos at night in the streets of slums. The trash cans in the alleys are always being rummaged by homeless people. There are several people wearing clothes under the street lights. A few women were stamping their feet to keep warm.

The evening wind blew, and the mice on the roadside were startled when they saw the three people suddenly appearing, and squeaked into the sewer to escape for their lives.

"Well, Philadelphia is also called the 'City of Friendship', but the atmosphere here is a bit eerie. Mordo, there is a homeless man next to the trash can. Go ask him."

Su Ming did not have his armor at this time, and his black suit looked even darker in the night.

"What should I ask?" Modu bowed slightly.

"You want me to teach you this? What have you learned before?" Su Ming raised his head and sighed with concern for the country and the people. The waning moon left a shadow in his pupils: "Forget it, I will do it myself. Watch well and study hard!”

Su Ming took out a few pieces of change from his pocket and walked towards the homeless man in the alley.

Mordo glanced at Parham sheepishly, but Ghost Rider, who had returned to his human form, just shrugged at him and held his horse firmly.

All the homeless people are the same. They smell like Deadpool. This alley is the back entrance of several restaurants. After closing at night, the homeless people will come here to find food.

Some leftovers or kitchen waste.

When Su Ming approached, the homeless man with his beard and hair stuck together happened to find half a rotten apple from the trash can, and he stuffed it into his mouth as if he had found a treasure.

The low temperature in winter turned the apple like a stone. He could only slowly melt it with saliva, but this also made him shiver constantly.

He hadn't been shaking for a few seconds when the sudden voice from behind made him jump out of his mind.

"Turn around."

"Cough...cough!"

The homeless old man got stuck in a frozen apple and his face turned visibly red.

Su Ming slapped the upper abdomen with his palm, causing reverse peristalsis of the esophagus and respiratory tract, thereby spitting out the foreign matter in the mouth.

The man recovered, but the homeless man looked desperate, because the half rotten fruit fell into the sewer entrance by the road, and a pair of sneaky little eyes flashed past the iron fence.

"My...apple."

Su Ming directly showed the 5-dollar bill, and kept snapping his fingers with his other hand to attract the old man's attention to the bill: "I'll ask a few questions, and if the answers satisfy me, there will be another 5 dollars."

The tramp rubbed his red nose and wiped the snot on his greasy clothes: "Of course, kind sir, please ask."

His eyes were just staring at the banknotes, as if he was not aware of the outside world at all, as if he was possessed.

"Are you familiar with this area?"

"Yes, I'm here every day, and I sleep over there." The old man pointed to the end of the alley, where there was a small nest made of cardboard: "This is an Italian restaurant, and a lot of things are wasted every time. ,nice one."

"Very good. Do you know where the most chaotic and obscene bar nearby is? Or other entertainment venues."

"Sir, look at your clothes, tsk tsk, you should go to the best place, instead of looking for an old prostitute who is old enough to be your grandmother, hehe..." The wandering old man grinned and revealed his uneven lips. Black Teeth smiled lewdly.

Looking for the most chaotic and obscene place? Rich people really know how to play. Is the little girl tired of playing and looking for excitement?

"answer the questions."

Su Ming had no expression on his face and lit the banknotes to light his cigarette. Then, under the desperate eyes of the homeless man, he took out another $5 note.

The homeless man sniffed his nose and gasped violently. His eyes turned red as if he was ill: "Don't worry, sir, walk along this street toward the outside of the city and go down the river. There is a restaurant in the old town. The bar by the dock is not big, but it has everything there, bad drinks, opium, guns, bitches, and a lot of lunatics.”

"What kind of madman?" Su Ming slapped the money on his hand and took out another banknote.

The old man scratched his hair with a smile and carefully hid the dollars: "I can't say, hooligans, drug addicts, murderers, bankrupt stockbrokers, they all hang out there. No matter what kind of person you want to find, just ask Ask the bartender and you’ll find it.”

Su Ming handed him the banknotes and took out another one: "What if I want to find a vampire?"

"Ah! I understand..." The tramp showed a knowing look, with an abnormal flush on his face, but soon he sighed again and his face turned gray: "Sir, you must be listening. Talked about that rumor, that underground paradise."

As soon as the money rang, Su Ming waited for his answer, but the old man didn't keep him waiting and immediately pointed in another direction.

"Go up the river and you will see a vampire brothel on the river bank. It is said that once you have slept with the little bitches there, you will never be able to have fun with other bitches again."

Su Ming sneered, threw the banknotes to the old man and turned around to leave: "Those are not little girls, they may be older than your grandma."

The old man took the money and hid it in his hat, looked at Su Ming's back and shouted: "I wish you a good time, kind sir."

Of course Su Ming will be happy, but there's no telling whether the vampires will be happy or not...
