Faced with the sudden attack of the vampire, the mysterious man in black kicked the charging vampire squarely in the chest, sending it flying with terrifying force. This kick demonstrated that the man in black was no ordinary person; after all, what ordinary person could kick an attacking vampire so hard?

The vampire, kicked away, flew horizontally into the living room, knocking over the sofa and getting crushed underneath. Not quite thinking clearly, he couldn't understand why his prey was so powerful. Usually, the prey he attacked would be frozen in fear, and he'd easily tear them apart.

Finally, the vampire concluded that this prey was somewhat troublesome but not numerous. Thinking this, the vampire abruptly lifted the sofa off him, preparing to continue hunting the troublesome prey. However, he then saw a gleaming silver longsword. Having never experienced death, or rather, not fearing death, the vampire felt a threat of death emanating from this sword.

Before the vampire could react, the mysterious man in black plunged the silver longsword into its chest. The sharp blade pierced through the vampire's chest, and the man in black then pushed the vampire backward, pinning it firmly to the wall. He then pulled out a teak dagger and stabbed it into the vampire's heart.

Even weakened by the silver sword piercing his chest, the vampire, under the threat of death, unleashed a strange power, swinging his claws towards the mysterious man in black's face.

The mysterious man in black was slightly surprised that his target, pinned to the wall, still had such strength remaining. He managed to dodge the vampire's final burst of energy, but the vampire still managed to pull back the man's hood, revealing his face.

Episode 305: Tanjiro, who switched from killing demons to killing vampires

After a final burst of energy, the vampire was utterly exhausted and powerless to resist. The mysterious man in black plunged his teak dagger into the vampire's heart, then pulled out the silver longsword embedded in the vampire's chest and delivered a guillotine blow, decapitating the vampire. Only after ensuring the vampire's complete death did he finally relax.

"Tanjiro, that guy, isn't that you? Even though you're wearing glasses, I can still recognize you. It must be you, Tanjiro."

"Ugh, why isn't it me? I'm so jealous."

Zenitsu Agatsuma watched as the mysterious man in black was revealed through the light screen after the vampire pulled back his hood. His striking deep red hair and his bright red eyes, as dazzling as jewels, were captivating. But these weren't the most striking features. What truly convinced Zenitsu that the vampire hunter in the light screen was Tanjiro Kakumon was the scar on the man's left forehead.

If the hair color and the look in the eyes are purely coincidental, then even if it's a coincidence, the shape and location of the scars can't possibly be exactly the same, right?

Thinking of this, Zenitsu's gaze towards Tanjiro gradually changed. If the person appearing on the screen was himself, with his identity as someone who appeared on the screen, plus his performance outside of it, he would be a vampire hunter, a hero who walks in the darkness to protect the city's peace. Even if he was wounded, he would silently lick his wounds alone. Even if someone saw him, they would just say it was a mere fatal wound. This was practically the template for the protagonist that Zenitsu had fantasized about during his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) period.

"Wow, amazing! Taro, let's have a duel! If I defeat you, it means that Inosuke Hashibira can defeat that monster."

Inosuke Hashibira, whose focus differed from Zenitsu's, was now looking at Tanjiro with great excitement, as if he was about to rush forward and fight Tanjiro at any moment.

Tanjiro could only smile and refuse. Putting aside the question of whether fighting was appropriate, he figured that if he were to actually fight Inosuke Hashibira right now, he probably wouldn't last three rounds.

Moreover, when Tanjiro looked at his reflection in the light screen and his appearance while hunting vampires, he had a feeling that his future self might encounter something very bad.

That's how you become like the person in the light screen.

After dealing with the vampire, Tanjiro walked up to the beautiful woman. She was already gone. Tanjiro slowly knelt down, inwardly blaming himself for arriving so slowly. If he had been faster, he could have prevented the tragedy that had befallen him from repeating itself.

[Tanjiro, seeing his wife's lifeless, wide-open eyes, reached out and covered her eyelids. He couldn't let her die with her eyes wide open in dismay. As for calling the police and collecting the body, there was no need; someone would notice tomorrow.]

He climbed out of the window he had entered through, then reached the rooftop. Tanjiro removed his red sunglasses, revealing his bright red, jewel-like eyes. As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and through Tanjiro's eyes, one could see the sadness in his heart. However, this sadness quickly vanished. It was unclear whether the fleeting sadness was for the family who had died in the vampire attack, or for his own family members who had perished in the attack, or perhaps both.

Having regained his composure, Tanjiro put on his sunglasses, pulled up his hood to conceal himself, and disappeared into the city's night. He would linger in the city until dawn, eliminating those harboring evil thoughts.

The vampires destroyed the Tanjiro Mori of the past, but also created the Tanjiro Mori of the present. He was lucky to survive the vampire attack, but instead became a half-human, half-vampire being.

Therefore, Tanjiro uses the power he gained from the vampire to fight against vampires and to search for the vampire who attacked his home. Tanjiro will never forget the appearance of that vampire.

The light barrier gradually dissipated, just as Tanjiro's figure disappeared into the city.

Although it was confirmed that the mysterious man in black in the light screen was indeed Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma no longer showed any envy or similar feelings, and even the usually boisterous Inosuke Hashibira was unusually quiet.

After all, judging from the light screen, Tanjiro's family had all met with misfortune. Zenitsu also thought of adopting and taking care of his grandfather, Jigoro Kuwajima. If gaining power required sacrificing his family, then Zenitsu would choose to refuse.

Inosuke Hashibira sensed the sadness and pain emanating from Tanjiro Uchimon; he was simple-minded but not stupid.

"Tanjiro, you don't need to take it too seriously. After all, this is the future, isn't it? Besides, now that you know, can't you change it?"

"Ah."

Hearing Zenitsu's words of comfort, Tanjiro nodded and forced himself to stay awake. After learning from the light screen that his family had been attacked and killed by vampires, Tanjiro felt dizzy and didn't want to face the truth.

At this moment, Tanjiro was determined to protect his family, even at the cost of his own life.

------------

"My family was attacked by vampires, leaving me all alone."

"He himself became a half-vampire, half-human being because of vampires."

"I've been fighting vampires late into the night all this time."

"At the same time, they are searching for the vampire who attacked their home."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at these elements one by one, and then thought of Tanjiro Mori's appearance. She felt that this was the template for a light novel male protagonist, only it was a fantasy battle novel.

Moreover, it's not just Tanjiro Kasumigaoka; many heroes seem to be templates for novel protagonists. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought about it from another perspective, and it makes sense. If they weren't templates for novel protagonists, it would be difficult for them to become heroes. In fact, Kasumigaoka Utaha feels that some of the more ordinary characters could be taken out and written into a novel on their own.

For example, the husband-and-wife agents beside Nick Fury, Agent King: Agent Twilight and Agent Yoel.

306:King: I don't pull for gacha unless there's a guaranteed pity system.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that the character design of these two husband-and-wife agents was quite good. If it were modified a little, for example, it could be changed to the fact that these two husband-and-wife agents are actually just putting on a show for each other, but secretly they are from two different organizations, both undercover in S.H.I.E.L.D. to steal intelligence. In order to avoid exposing their undercover identities, they are also putting on an act in front of each other.

As Kasumigaoka Utaha thought about it, her mind gradually became more active. Although she wasn't very good at writing this type of work, she could learn. Moreover, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that if she successfully wrote down this idea, it would be amazing.

"Vampires, that makes sense. If Thor, the God of Thunder, Loki, the God of Lies, and even Asgard from mythological epics exist, then the existence of vampires isn't so surprising."

"Moreover, the existence of vampires may have been recorded like Thor, but gradually it was trivialized and made more entertaining by people."

"However, some characteristics of vampires are indeed true, such as being difficult to kill and requiring weapons made of special materials, being afraid of the sun and being active at night, feeding on humans, and having physical abilities that humans cannot withstand in any way."

Looking at the scene of Tanjiro hunting vampires on the screen, Light Yagami said, "To be honest, judging from the speed at which the vampire pounced on Tanjiro, it's basically impossible for a normal human to react in time. At most, they would only see a blurry afterimage."

Light Yagami couldn't assess the vampire's defensive capabilities because Tanjiro used a special silver longsword when attacking the vampire. Lacking sufficient information, Light couldn't determine whether the special weapon had a special attack effect, making the vampire's supposedly invulnerable body seem rather weak.

"Ordinary humans are indeed like natural enemies when they encounter vampires, and it is almost impossible for them to fight back."

"So, are those unsolved mysteries what vampires are talking about?"

Gordon thought of those unsolved cases. Some of them were simply unsolvable. Besides, even with Detective L around, it was impossible to ask him to come out of retirement for every case. So naturally, a lot of cases piled up unsolved.

When Gordon saw the vampire, he thought of the cases of missing persons and wondered if the vampire had kidnapped those people and eaten them. After all, not every vampire is like the one in the light screen who likes to eat immediately. Maybe some vampires prefer to take them home, right?

"Maybe it is, maybe it's not."

"What I'm more concerned about is how much more is hidden beneath the surface of the world."

L's gaze gradually turned serious as he looked at the vampire on the screen. He had seen Thor, the god of lies, and Loki, the god of lies, in mythology and epic tales, and now he had vampires, fantastical creatures. L was curious about how many more existed hidden from public view, like mutant groups, making them extremely difficult to find.

"..."

Gordon remained silent upon hearing L's words, and did not look at L. After all, Gordon knew that they didn't know anything about vampires, and it would be pointless for L to ask him, just like the previous times.

"Huh?! This is the fifth one, right? Usually, three is the limit. Is it because this is a superhero team movie? Then why did X-Men 1 only have three post-credits scenes?"

Light Yagami originally thought that releasing four Easter eggs was the limit for this event, but the previously dimmed light screen lit up again, pulling him out of his thoughts. He had originally planned to think carefully about the content of the light screen and Easter eggs, but now that the light screen had lit up again, Light Yagami had to refocus his attention on the light screen.

L, who was standing next to him, also paused, his usual listless and indifferent gaze pausing for a moment before he, like Light Yagami, focused his attention on the light screen.

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Director King walked into a very secluded underground facility. This was the place where the Tesseract was previously stored and researched, and after being rebuilt, it was used by Director King as a base for another experiment.

[And the first clinical trial subject was naturally his trusted aide, one of his right-hand men, Agent West, who had gloriously sacrificed his life.]

[Even after the Western agent's sacrifice, King immediately arranged for his body to be preserved and then transported here.]

King walked to a large, transparent instrument and looked at his trusted lieutenant, the Western agent, "sleeping" inside. A trace of sorrow appeared on his face, but it quickly vanished from his eyes.

[Then King turned to look at the black-haired professor working on the computer on the other side and asked.]

"Dr. Mepoli, how is the situation?"

[Dr. Minami Oyama, who was being questioned by King, gave an OK sign and replied.]

"I'm ready. Although this is the first real experiment, I have a 90% chance of bringing Agent West back to life."

"Ninety percent?"

[Seeing King's somewhat dissatisfied tone, Oyama Tsumi also spoke up.]

"Ninety percent is already very high. This is thanks to the fact that when he was transformed into Loki, his attack didn't pierce the Western agent's heart, but only his chest, although it still caused considerable injury."

"But that's still good."

Listening to Dr. Minori Oyama's words, King didn't think 90% was too low; rather, when playing gacha games, unless there was a 100% guarantee—the pity system—King didn't really believe in possibilities other than 100%.

"Is that me? I was put in a special coffin. Is this how S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are preserved after they die?"

When Nishikata saw the content on the screen, he was stunned for a moment, because when the screen lit up again, it showed him, Agent Nishikata.

Nishikata saw himself being stabbed to death by Loki with the Mind Stone, so he believed that what appeared was his own body, and that the thing containing his body was the one that S.H.I.E.L.D. used to preserve the bodies of agents who had died gloriously.

307: Saitama: Even if your employees die, you have to revive them and bring them back to work!

"Have I been recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D."

"That's normal. With my abilities, it's not surprising that I was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. It's just a little unexpected that I agreed to join them."

Looking at herself on the screen, Minori Oyama knew that with her intelligence, it was very likely that she would be recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., but joining S.H.I.E.L.D. was another matter entirely.

"What kind of technology could revive a Western agent who had been killed some time ago?"

Now, Minami Oyama is less concerned with how she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and more with what kind of technology could bring back the Nishikata agent who had been dead for some time, since it was so powerful.
