American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 64 The Punisher's Blade

The wall was suddenly blasted open, and Whistler, Blade's companion and father, appeared. He paused slightly when he saw the weaver, then nodded and yelled at Blade:

"A large number of vampires are coming! Run!"

After giving the constantly collapsing vampires a vicious look, the four of them ran out of the cave. Li Buying turned back and used a large amount of spider silk to seal the cave entrance, ensuring that they could not get through immediately.

Thanks to Li Buying's help, they were not pursued this time, but instead escaped safely to a temporary base.

Having confirmed that they had shaken off the vampires' pursuit, Blade looked back at Li Buying, who had been following them, and nodded again in gratitude:

"Weaver, I've heard of you. Anyway, thank you very much. By the way, what brought you there?"

Blade glanced at Li Buying's hoodie from time to time, showing great interest in the extremely lethal smoke grenade he had thrown.

The three people present were very curious about Li Buying, mainly because of the reason he was there. Li Buying thought about the "charlatan" persona he had created for the X-Men and others, and decided that he might as well carry it out to the end.

Walking to the computer desk, Li Buying opened a document, quickly typed some characters, and then turned it over for the three of them to see.

He is a person who gained superpowers through magic, and also has an inaccurate ability to predict the future, only knowing the general outline of things.

For example, in a recent prophecy, he saw the mutants' movements, so he went to Westchester County to solve the problem, and now he has come here.

A vampire named Frost is preparing... the Blood God... blah blah blah...

After a brief period of deception, Blade, having heard all the news, stared wide-eyed and breathed heavily. He could imagine how horrific the scene would be.

Especially Whistler, the thought of Whistler dying due to carelessness fueled Blade's rage. His adoptive father, seeing this, immediately understood and patted him hard on the shoulder:

"Hey, I'm still here. Don't think I'm dead."

After calming down, Blade still had some doubts about Li Buying's prophetic abilities, but ultimately didn't say anything. Instead, he asked about another matter, about the smoke bomb.

Li Buying typed on the computer, saying that she obtained the smoke bomb from a white mage, but did not know how to make it. She said she only had one left and Blade could have it if he wanted it.

When should we go and deal with those vampires, once the doctor has developed a drug specifically for them?

After typing this line on the screen, Blade hesitated but ultimately decided to wait for the Blood Doctor to make the anticoagulant, which would save him a lot of trouble dealing with the mobs.

The only difference is that the base needs to be changed, and the original base will be turned into a trap...

Upon hearing Blade's choice, Li Buying nodded slightly.

Li Buying didn't have high hopes for the antidote against vampires. She feared that reality wouldn't be as smooth as in the movies, where she could directly kill Frost, who had gained the power of the Blood God, with an anticoagulant.

But since Li Buying has come, he certainly won't let Frost get a large amount of Blade's blood.

At that time, it was unknown whether the incomplete ritual could still be performed, or whether Frost had a way to directly enhance himself using the blood of the twelve elders.

After the discussion, he looked at the fragmented pages on the table with a hint of curiosity, sensing that they were tainted with some dark and evil magic.

Could it be related to the Dark Book...?

The first vampire in Marvel was born from something called the Dark Book, which is related to a god in the dark dimension.

Thinking of this, Li Buying moved even further away from that thing. He didn't want to get involved with those terrifying gods in the dark dimension, so he wanted to stay as far away as possible.

After glancing at the time and keeping watch for the three people for a while, and confirming that there was no danger around, Li Buying started typing on the computer.

He indicated that he was leaving and did not intend to be with them every day; if anything happened, he could simply find a place with internet access and type a few words on a computer to notify them.

"No problem," Blade readily agreed, then, as if remembering something, tentatively asked, "By the way, would you mind if I brought a friend along?"

[Of course I don't mind, but don't call someone with a strong sense of justice like Spider-Man. He might fight me afterward, so who do you want to call?]

Li Buying naturally felt that there was strength in numbers, so she didn't refuse Blade's friend's help. Blade opened his phone and said, "[Punisher]".

How did you two meet?

Upon hearing the title "Punisher," Li Buying's eyes widened; she had never imagined that the two of them would know each other.

However, Blade is a dark hero and Punisher is an anti-hero, so the two probably do get along quite well in terms of their views, as long as there is no intentional conflict.

After making the call, Blade casually said:

"There was once a vampire who deliberately misled the Punisher into thinking that I was a heinous murderer."

However, he was very cautious. After confirming my identity and the vampire's identity, he immediately notified me and then staged a scene with me, before killing those guys with a silver bullet.

After listening to Blade's explanation, Li Buying nodded slightly, suddenly remembering that the puzzle man she had killed seemed to be one of the Punisher's enemies.

Will he ignore me or take care of me?

Thinking about the Punisher's extreme personality and recalling the people he had dealt with, Li Buying was certain that when he killed someone on the spot, he absolutely did not allow anyone unrelated to the incident to be injured.

As for what happens after that, he can't control it. If the Punisher is going to hold the good people who indirectly died at Li Buying's hands accountable, then Li Buying will not show any mercy.

Yeah, we need to be careful.

She said she was leaving but didn't leave immediately. Li Buying signaled Blade to call the Punisher over, saying it would be better to resolve any conflicts before fighting the vampires.

……

Time passed quickly, and a large SUV stopped outside Blade's temporary stronghold. Li Buying looked up and saw a burly man with a huge skull on his chest walk down from the ground.

This burly man's face and limbs were covered in scars, and the fierce look in his eyes seemed never to fade. He looked like a butcher, no, he was a butcher.

At the same time Li Buying saw the Punisher, the Punisher also saw him. The burly man came up to him and nodded slightly: "Weaver, thank you for helping me get rid of the Puzzle Man and clearing out so many gangsters."

"...Don't you feel like I stole your prey?"

Upon seeing these words, the Punisher revealed a hideous and grotesque smile:

"No, I don't care how these people who can't even be called human beings die, the sooner the better."

Upon hearing this answer, Li Buying nodded, but did not let her guard down; this guy might suddenly turn on her.

After checking the time again, Li Buying, who was meeting with the Punisher, was indeed ready to leave. As she had said before, she left behind a special smoke bomb to see if Blade would make something similar based on it.
