The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

Chapter 184 The Vanishing Blade

Group leader Sarah Davis was a little confused.

She used to be a mounted police officer in Texas, and the reason she came to the New York Sentinel Service was quite simple.

Because her new boyfriend is the deputy director of logistics at the New York State Sentinel Service.

So Sarah Davis came to New York City.

but……

If she remembered correctly, the Sentinel Special Service's main business seemed to be capturing mutants.

But in all the days she's been here, she doesn't seem to have captured a single mutant.

He's either a vampire or a vampire.

It's better now.

The witches have all come out.

I hope we'll be dealing with magicians next.

City people are city people.

Sarah Davis sighed inwardly. After all, in Texas, she had only ever dealt with demons and such. She never expected that after coming to New York City, she would see vampires and now even witches.

Just as she was lost in thought, Locke, shirtless and covered in blood, had already walked up to the two witch corpses whose necks had been snapped.

Locke simply removed the hoods from the two witches, looked at their exquisitely beautiful faces beneath the hoods, and said nothing.

Just then.

Debbie, her assistant Emilia, and Catherine also arrived at the scene.

"Boss." Debbie jogged over to Locke's side, her gaze also falling on the two witch corpses on the ground.

Locke looked at Debbie: "Have you located Blade's position?"

Debbie nodded: "An emergency response team has already been dispatched."

Locke nodded, then looked back at the two witch corpses without saying a word.

"check."

He didn't believe the black-robed witch's nonsense at all.

No family?

Oh.

You'd better pray that you really have no family. As long as you're not officially orphaned, even if you're an orphan, I can help you find your biological parents.

then……

The whole family was packed up and sent to the mutant lab as medical supplies.

The principle of not extending blame to family members doesn't apply to me.

The question can be summed up in one sentence.

I am a barbarian!

Catherine walked up to Locke and glanced at him, who was covered in blood and shirtless, revealing his strong and muscular physique. "Are you injured?" she asked.

Locke shook his head first, then looked at Catherine: "These magicians are even harder to deal with than vampires."

"Then why did you come?"

"This is my territory."

How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?

New York City will never allow anyone more awesome than him.

Of course.

This is one reason.

The main reason is that Locke is no longer afraid of failure because he now has the capacity to tolerate mistakes.

As long as the blood pool never dries up, Locke will never die.

This is why he came here even though he knew from the beginning that he might not be able to defeat the witch.

Is it really because he and Blade are like brothers?

Bullshit!

A real man should dare to face the bloody realities of life. Should he stop moving forward because of fear?

Do not!

The only way to defeat fear is to confront it.

The most important thing.

If he hadn't come this time, how could the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau have been certain of the witch's danger?

If he doesn't come, how can Director Andrew make up his mind to take control of these witches?

In a word.

These witches dare to assassinate federal law enforcement officials today, they'll dare to assassinate the president tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they'll dare to assassinate the military and then launch giant mushrooms to destroy the world.

This is rebellion.

This is treason.

This is inhumane.

We must strike hard!

When the federal government gets things done, it's all about cleverly creating a pretext so that things can proceed smoothly.

Anyway, he won't die.

As long as the blood pool never dries up, Locke will never die.

The most important thing.

Through this direct confrontation, Locke finally gained a certain understanding of the strength of the witches.

In a word.

He can't beat the witch!

This isn't about boosting others' morale while diminishing our own; it's simply a fact.

Locke never shied away from the facts.

The three witches he killed earlier were mostly victims of his sneak attacks, aside from the fact that they were novices.

The one outside Waterfall Town was because the witch couldn't believe that Locke could ignore the power of the barrier and directly kill her.

The same goes for Albany's two.

Their magic was far inferior to that of the black-robed witch he had just encountered, so he relied on his powerful burst of energy and incredibly fast healing speed to reach them.

But what about these four today?

The two witches who broke at the beginning were also caught off guard.

But the other two witches were different.

Especially that witch in black robes.

In a direct confrontation, he had absolutely no chance of winning. Even if he burned the energy of his blood pool, she could still use dark magic to escape from his sight at the last moment.

This is downright shameless.

If you can't beat them, run away.

Unfortunately, the witch's magic was a perfect counter to his current physical skills.

If he had any ranged attack skills, like Cyclops' laser, he could have burned two holes in the black-robed witch's chest.

Oh, and the ability to mutate.

"Debbie."

"Boss."

"Has Stryker's mutant lab completed its self-inspection?"

"not yet."

Debbie shook her head: "When we sent the experimental subjects there before, they were sent directly to Quantico. Currently, it's a system where they can come in but not leave."

Locke fell silent upon hearing this.

This is a legacy issue from the Skrulls.

But it should be soon.

The mutant lab has gone from being completely closed to entry and exit to being open to entry but not exit, so it should be reopening soon.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Locke thought to himself, then looked at Catherine with some curiosity.

"If it were Klaus, what would he usually do if he encountered a witch?"

"He is resistant to magic."

"What?"

"Don't you know?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Catherine looked at Locke: "The mother of the five progenitor siblings was a powerful witch, so they all have witch blood in their veins. Therefore, they have a certain resistance to magic, and ordinary witches can't beat them at all."

"……All right."

To put it simply, Klaus has a magic antibody, while he doesn't.

Hey!

He doesn't have Superman's power yet, but he's already got Superman's disease.

and many more.

wrong.

If my thinking is correct, I should develop antibodies soon.

No, it shouldn't be called an antibody; it should be called a "magic immunity" antibody.

Locke thought to himself, looking at the 'Practice Makes It Real' card he had obtained from the Vampire Mansion.

Item: "Practice Makes It Real Card"

Introduction: "Half-real, half-fake, practice makes the fake real!"

Function: Utilize your existing supernatural abilities to amplify them, making them half real and half fake, ultimately transforming the fake into the real!

His hope of achieving magic immunity lies in this card.

but……

To use this card, one must rely on his existing extraordinary abilities.

Both of his current extraordinary abilities, whether vampire or Skrull disguise, can be used with this card.

However, neither of his two supernatural abilities can help him in his fight against the witch.

He needs a new ability, a new ability that allows him to use this card and then make the illusion real to achieve magic immunity.

He has already discovered this new ability.

but……

That ability hasn't reached New York yet; it's still on its way to New York City.

However, this is still a long way off.

Locke snapped out of his daze and looked at Catherine again.

"And what about you?"

"I?"

Locke asked Catherine, "Well, what would you do if your enemy were a witch?"

K has been running around for five hundred years, making many friends, but even more enemies.

Among so many enemies, there must be witches.

Catherine looked at Locke: "Of course, we'll use witches to fight witches! You think these witches are difficult to deal with, let alone me."

After all, Locke is a progenitor-level vampire.

Even the progenitor found witches difficult to deal with, let alone her.

Upon hearing this, Locke thought for a moment and then chuckled to himself.

Two hours later.

Sentry Building, Operations Command Center.

On the large screen, the first-person perspective of the emergency response team that went to track the positioning chip implanted in Blade's body was being played.

Based on their location, the emergency response team has left New York City and arrived in a forest somewhere in New Jersey.

soon.

The emergency response team leader bent down and picked up a positioning chip from a stream in the forest, which looked brand new after being washed by the stream.

"The watchtower has been found, but the chip has separated from the blade."

"receive."

Debbie responded and then turned to look at Locke, who had changed his clothes after returning and was now dressed in a suit and exuding gentlemanly charm.

"Boss."

"...Search the surrounding area to see if there are any clues."

Locke looked at the positioning chip in the hand of the emergency response team leader on the big screen, his expression neither sad nor happy.

While changing his clothes, he was already mentally prepared for the possibility of losing the blade.

The Tree Witch clearly came prepared this time.

Moreover, the plan was quite well-hidden.

He never expected that the Tree Witch would target Catherine and use this method to release wolfsbane to kill him.

If he were a vampire, he might actually fall for the tree witch's scheme.

Fortunately, he wasn't.

"Oh, right."

Locke pondered, then looked up at Debbie: "Are the patterns on those five corpses listed in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Sentinel Joint Database?"

Following the launch of Operation Vampire in New York State, the Sentinels' database has been integrated with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database as a collaboration.

Of course.

Although the connection has been established, the data from both sides has been marked in the database.

Simply put, if S.H.I.E.L.D. retrieves information from the Sentinel database, Sentinel Services will know immediately.

The same applies to S.H.I.E.L.D.

This has nothing to do with trust, because informing the other party is the greatest form of trust.

This is what Maria Hill said.

Locke wholeheartedly agreed.

Debbie turned around and said, "There are many similar patterns stored in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database, but none that match this pattern exactly. However, the system hasn't finished searching yet; it's still searching."

Locke nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news."

"clear."

"..."
