Yes.

Nick Fury was also taken by the invading Paskru, whose members included Garro.

Quinn said that Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. took the initiative to call and said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and took the initiative to ask for cooperation.

This is true.

Quinn wasn't lying; the call was indeed initiated by Nick Fury.

but--

According to Garo's memory, Nick Fury let Locke into the Vampire Mansion simply as a way of getting revenge.

He orchestrated a scheme that deprived S.H.I.E.L.D. of its jurisdiction over vampires, and Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., wanted to teach him a lesson.

That makes sense.

You do the first day of the month, I'll do the fifteenth.

Locke wasn't the kind of person who only allowed himself to scheme against others but didn't allow others to scheme against him.

Moreover, if you punch me, I'll punch you back; this is a kind of tacitly accepted rule.

Nick Fury also gave this explanation.

He simply asked the Skrulls to enter the Vampire Tower in a cooperative manner, and then, once Locke was inside, to teach him a lesson he shouldn't forget.

But Locke cannot die!

These are Nick Fury's original words.

This isn't him trying to whitewash Nick Fury; it's simply the truth.

And Locke won't let Nick Fury off the hook just because he's an innocent bystander.

However, each issue should be considered separately.

Nick Fury's reasoning is quite simple.

Although Locke never flaunted his family background, such things are always on display.

Son of Democratic Party Whip Francis Underwood.

He's an only child!

Not to mention that Locke himself is a rising general in the Sentinel Special Operations Department.

Courageous and resourceful.

With such power and family background, Nick Fury would only give the order to kill him if he had lost his mind and truly intended to die with the Skrulls.

Nick Fury's plan from beginning to end was to teach Locke a profound lesson.

That's it.

but--

Nick Fury probably never imagined that there would still be Skrulls advocating for the invasion of Earth among the current Skrull population.

Even Jialuo, the son of his good brother whom he considers a nephew, is one of them.

Garro followed Nick Fury's orders and led the Skrulls into the Vampire Tower. However, he did not intend to teach Locke a lesson as Nick Fury had suggested. Instead, he planned to kill Locke to eliminate Nick Fury.

Yes.

Solve Nick Fury's problem.

There was a reason why Jialu did this.

He did all this for the rise of the invaders.

Currently, Talos, his father, is the leader of the Skrulls.

His uncle, Nick Fury, is also the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Simply put.

With Talos on one side and Nick Fury on the other, it would be very difficult for the invaders to replace the coexistence faction as the mainstream Skrulls.

Therefore, in the eyes of the invaders, their most important enemy is not actually the Earthlings, but Talos and Nick Fury, their greatest known and publicly known backer among the Skrulls.

As long as Talos lives and Nick Fury remains in power, the invaders have no chance or possibility of causing trouble.

But this time, they sensed an opportunity and seized it in time.

Who is Locke?

The only son of the Democratic Party Whip!

no doubt.

If Locke dies inside the Vampire Mansion, Whip will definitely launch a fierce retaliation.

Others may be uncertain, but the first, and the one who strongly urged Locke to lead the team into Vampire Mansion, Nick Fury, will certainly be crushed to dust in the fury of the Whip, who is grieving the loss of his son.

Moreover, the people behind Nick Fury certainly won't protect him.

This is also the rule of the game:

Who told you to mess things up?

The rules of the game are that you can retaliate against Locke in kind, but Locke cannot die. Now that Locke is dead, you have to bear the consequences you deserve.

That's exactly what the invasion faction, with Jia Luo as a member, planned.

By killing Locke, Talos inflamed the Whip's anger, used a proxy to kill Nick Fury, and with Nick Fury gone, Talos lost his biggest human backer on the surface.

At that time

The invaders have finally had their day.

This time, they can even take down both Locke and the vampires, and through the so-called Blood God, make those Skrull hybrids into extraordinary combatants.

The plan is undoubtedly a good plan.

only.-

They overestimated the Blood God's abilities and underestimated Locke.

Locke lowered his gaze, staring at the lifeless Garo on the ground, and quickly analyzed Garo's memories from the past month in his mind.

Just then.

There was a commotion coming from the sacrificial hall.

Locke snapped out of his daze and looked up.

into the eye.

Blade appeared at the doorway with a pale-faced, dark-skinned female vampire.

"Oh."

"They're not even human anymore."

Locke raised an eyebrow, looking at Vanessa, the black woman who had also become a vampire, and said this.

Vanessa, who had become a vampire but was currently anemic, retorted irritably upon hearing Locke's words, "I'll find a way to turn back into a human."

Locke smiled slightly: "Then good luck."

Blade's gaze fell on Garo's corpse at Locke's feet.

He walked over, looked at the green-skinned, pointy-eared Garo on the ground, and frowned.

"These are the Skrulls?"

"right."

"She's really ugly."

Locke glanced instinctively at his elder brother Xiao and his second brother's blades, blinked, and gave up the idea of ​​making a sarcastic remark.

Blade kicked the motionless Jialuo.

"Dead?"

What do you think?

"But you can't tell what a vampire looks like."

"Heh."

Locke smiled, looking at Daofeng, who was crouching down and meticulously examining Garro's mouth like an animal, then glanced warily at Vanessa beside him, and thought for a moment: "You should go."

Blade looked up at Locke, then shook his head.

"We can't leave."

"Um?"

It's still daytime.

Blade looked at Vanessa, then said to Locke, "Vanessa is different from me. She's become a vampire. If she goes out, she'll be burned to death by the sun."

Right.

Locke raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the sunburst ring on his finger before quickly looking away.

He had no intention of giving or lending the Sun Ring to Vanessa.

This was a special token of love that K gave him.

How could I give it to someone else?

but-.

"Then you guys should hide first."

"What?"

"My men are coming in to clean up the mess."

Locke glanced at Blade and shrugged. "Of course, you can stay here if you're not worried about your identities being exposed."

Upon hearing this, Blade quickly got up from the ground, looked at Vanessa, and then at Locke.

"Where do we hide?"

"That."

Locke pointed to the back of the sacrificial hall: "There's a secret chamber in there. You can wait there until nightfall before going out. I won't send anyone to check inside."

Blade followed Locke's finger, said thank you, and then prepared to pull Vanessa toward the secret chamber at the back.

Just then.

Locke seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Blade: "Oh, right, there's one more thing I think you're qualified to know."

Blade stopped and turned to look at Locke.

"What?"

"Abraham Whistler is not dead."

"What?!"

No sooner had Locke uttered those words than Blade appeared before him with a whoosh. Even with sunglasses on, Blade's face still showed an expression of disbelief.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"I don't usually lie."

Where is Whistler now?

"I don't know about that."

Locke looked at the anxious blade before him and said calmly, "Whistler isn't dead, that's the only thing I'm sure of. But where Whistler was taken, I don't know."

This is what he learned from Jialuo's memories.

Of course.

Whistler wasn't done by Garlow, but by Quinn.

do not forget.

Jialuo first transformed into Quen's appearance, and then performed the Blood God summoning ritual.

The process is as follows.

Jialuo gained Quen's memories, while Locke gained both Jialuo's and Quen's memories.

According to Quinn's memory, Whistler had actually become a vampire before he died.

Vampires are not so easy to kill, even though Whistler was burned to a crisp.

As for why Whistler wasn't burned to death by the sun, Locke didn't know either.

Anyway, Whistler was resurrected that night and then stolen from the morgue by Quinn's men.

The charred body in the morgue today is probably just the body of an unknown homeless man.

As for where Whistler was taken away by Quinn's men, Quinn had no information about that.

There is only one name.

"blood bank."

"What?"

"Before he died, Quinn told me that he had Whistler moved to a blood bank, but I don't know where that blood bank is."

"blood bank!"

Blade frowned as he listened to Locke's words, muttering the name "blood bank" under his breath, his mind racing.

Judging from the name, "blood bank" should refer to a vampire's storehouse for storing blood.

But there are plenty of vampire blood banks in New York City.

Which blood bank would Whistler be in?

Forget it, I'll just keep searching from one blood bank to another until I find it.

Blade thought to himself, then subconsciously looked up at Locke.

"Why are you telling me?"

Why not?

Locke took out his headset from his pocket, put it back in his ears, and smiled at Blade, saying, "To put it simply, you kill vampires, and I kill vampires. That's enough, isn't it?"

This is something Blade said before.

It must be said that, from a certain perspective, Blade is a perfect partner and tool.

As long as he kills vampires, Blade will help him kill them.

Blade listened to Locke's explanation, pursed his thick lips, looked at Locke, and remained silent for a while.

"sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you."

""..-·Thanks."

"Hurry up and go in, my men will be coming in soon."

"it is good."

Without further hesitation, Blade turned and disappeared from Locke's sight with Vanessa.

Locke withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Look.

Blade even thanked him!
