I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

Accompanied by Remilia's authoritative voice, a strange feeling spread. It was an oppressive aura stemming from her superior status. Li Cheng felt nothing of the sort, only a vague sense of unease. But the zombies immediately screamed and collapsed to the ground. Li Cheng saw the crimson mist emerge from the zombies, struggling and screaming, only to dissipate quickly as if forcibly torn apart by some powerful force.

"Hmph, how boring."

Sitting on the windowsill, Remilia snorted coldly, her blood-red pupils sweeping over the corpses that were gradually turning to dust and dissipating before she closed her eyes, no longer paying attention to the situation below.

"Although I've heard of the suppression of different beings of the same origin in terms of status and bloodline, I never imagined that they could kill each other with just words without using any power. Is this what vampires are like?"

During the communication, Kiritsugu Emiya sighed with slight surprise.

“There’s plenty of time to find out about this later,” Li Cheng said calmly into the communicator, looking at the dark road outside the gate of the residential area. “Let’s get through this situation first. Emiya, you’ve sensed it too, haven’t you? After these zombies were destroyed, the enemy started making new moves.”

Standing on the uneven open space in the residential area, Li Cheng stared intently at the darkness gradually approaching outside the door, clenching his fists.

Chapter 7, Section 147: The Corpse Controller and the Origin Bullet

Beyond the blood-stained, shattered ground, on the dimly lit road outside the residential complex, something dark, capable of swallowing up light, seemed to be slowly approaching.

Standing in front of the community gate, Li Cheng could clearly see the light in the distance gradually disappearing, and an intense darkness was enveloping the community.

Is it a hallucinatory spell? It doesn't seem like it. Or is it that it steals light, or creates an invisible area, preventing people on the outside from seeing what's happening on the inside? Li Cheng pondered in his mind how the other party made the light disappear, while also vigilantly watching for other unusual movements.

Regardless of the method used, it is clear that the other party intends to create sufficient psychological pressure and use such a bizarre scene to intimidate the enemy.

Speaking of which, shouldn't this kind of tactic be used against weak enemies? Only someone with little strength could be frightened by such a scene. Does the other party think that there would be anyone in the A-rank who is afraid of ghosts?

"Hmph, idiot."

Remilia, sitting on the balcony, sneered disdainfully, revealing her extremely sharp and menacing fangs. Then, an unusual aura emanated from her body.

Immediately afterward, in Li Cheng's sight, the darkness vanished without a trace with a "pop," like a balloon being pricked by a needle, revealing the dimly lit street once more. At the same time, Li Cheng also clearly heard a painful groan coming from the bushes on one side of the residential area.

The enemy is there!

The purple halo condensed almost instantly in Li Cheng's hand and was blasted out in the direction of the sound. The energy condensed from demonic power exploded the moment it hit the bushes, and a figure was blasted out of the bushes amidst screams.

With a powerful stomp, Li Cheng shattered the already badly damaged floorboards, leaping high into the air and instantly appearing beside his opponent. Almost simultaneously, Kiritsugu Emiya on the third floor fired a shot. The bullet pierced through the gap between Li Cheng's arms, penetrating the figure's body and splattering blood. Li Cheng followed up with a punch, slamming the figure into the ground, embedding him completely in the earth.

"Ugh!"

The man let out a painful groan, and a sudden cloud of mist engulfed his figure. Li Cheng landed heavily on the crater the man had created, but only stepped on the broken ground.

A blood-red-eyed zombie howled as it leaped out of the mist beside Li Cheng, attempting to bite him, but Li Cheng grabbed its neck and snapped it in two. Immediately afterward, a beam of purple light shot from Li Cheng's hand, instantly evaporating the red mist within the zombie. Then, the zombie in Li Cheng's hand turned to ashes.

Looking up, Li Cheng noticed that the fog had unknowingly covered the entire residential area, greatly affecting his vision.

"The realm of convergence and dissipation."

The power of the realm he gained through the contract quietly activated, and the originally extremely dense fog rapidly dissipated under this power. The sharp-eyed Li Cheng almost immediately spotted a figure flashing past at the edge of the fog. A black rift instantly opened, directly engulfing the figure, and then opened above Li Cheng's head, whereupon the figure fell down.

Li Cheng leaped heavily, his clenched fist pointing straight up, and punched his opponent in the face, sending him flying into the air with a scream.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

A series of gunshots rang out, and Kiritsugu Emiya swiftly launched an attack on the figure in mid-air. But this time, a deep, dark light was released, blocking the bullets fired by Kiritsugu. Immediately afterward, the figure roared, and the black light shot directly at Li Cheng below. Caught off guard, Li Cheng hastily defended but was sent flying more than ten meters, crashing through a thick wall on the side of the residential area.

That was quite a powerful blow. This guy looks like he's an A-rank magician specializing in sorcery and necromancy.

The next black shadow swiftly attacked Li Cheng, emanating a dense aura of curse and death. Li Cheng dared not take it head-on and quickly rolled aside to dodge. At that moment, the communicator in his ear rang, and Kiritsugu Emiya's calm voice came through.

"Help me get a chance to make him face my direction."

"it is good!"

Li Cheng responded loudly and immediately charged towards the opponent. The sorcerer hidden in the shadows had taken several heavy blows at the beginning and was clearly quite wary of Li Cheng's approach. He kept dodging and counterattacking with various curses and powerful destructive spells. For a moment, the small open space in the community was flashing with black and purple light and exploding into a crackling mess.

On the third floor, Kiritsugu Emiya calmly pulled out his old, exquisitely patterned single-shot pistol from his pocket. He took out a bullet that shimmered with iridescent light from a small pouch at his waist, chambered it, and aimed at the dazzling light and shadow below, silently counting down in his mind.

One.

Li Cheng passed through two beams of dark light, then flashed past a huge black light bullet, taking another step closer to the sorcerer.

two.

"Damn it!"

The man roared and slammed his fist on the ground. A giant skeleton, three meters tall and wreathed in black light, shot out from underground and punched Li Cheng, sending him crashing into the apartment building. The skeleton smashed through the wall on the first floor and fell out from the back of the building.

three.

A black crack silently appeared behind the skeleton, and Li Cheng fell straight down, snapping the skeleton's spine in one fell swoop. He pulled out a rib from the skeleton and hurled it like a javelin towards the sorcerer. The sorcerer hurriedly dodged, and the rib embedded itself in the ground beside him, piercing deep into the concrete.

Four.

Five dense, jet-black light orbs were condensed by the man and fired towards Li Cheng. But Li Cheng immediately countered with a flick of his wrist, sending a purple light blade, accompanied by a gust of wind, hurtling towards him. The man transformed into black smoke, swiftly dodging the attack, while Li Cheng was struck by the light orb and sent flying in a violent magical explosion. Seeing his opponent finally wounded, the sorcerer couldn't help but sneer.

five!

The sorcerer suddenly froze, because the man who had been blasted into the air was also staring at him, giving him an innocent smile.

The realm of convergence and dissipation!

The black mist that the sorcerer had released during the battle, which had been extremely obstructing his vision, suddenly dissipated. He was momentarily stunned, then looked up and saw a man pointing a gun at him from the third floor of an apartment building directly in front of him.

"boom!"

Something crawled into my shoulder.

"Ugh!"

The sorcerer screamed, clutching his left shoulder and staggering back two steps. Li Cheng landed close behind, about to pursue and attack again, but he quickly unleashed several more cursed black flames, trying to intercept his opponent. Unexpectedly, Li Cheng immediately stopped, seemingly having no intention of continuing the attack.

What's going on? This guy was attacking so aggressively just now, why did he suddenly stop?

"Since you used magic after being shot, there's no need for me to continue hitting you. To be honest, those curse magic spells that attack muscles, nerves, and will hurt quite a bit, and I don't want to take a few more hits."

As if sensing the other party's confusion, Li Cheng shrugged and calmly explained to the sorcerer.

Unnecessary? What do you mean? Is this guy trying to humiliate me?

Enraged, the man conjured a black light orb in his hand, intending to resume the fight. However, he suddenly realized that no light orb could be formed in his hand at all; instead, an extremely intense pain was rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Why...why am I...?

His eyes widened in terror, his body convulsing. He clutched his injured shoulder, screaming with all his might. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and flowed from his ears and eyes as well. The unbearable pain shattered his body in that instant, and the next moment, the man collapsed to the ground with a bloodcurdling scream.

"How could this be... my... magic... my... power... ahh... ahh..."

It's such a pitiful sight. Every time they fight a magician, once Kiritsugu Emiya uses that thing, after it takes effect, these magicians always look like this, in pain, terrified, and almost collapsing.

Li Cheng sighed, walked up to the man, and after confirming that the man had fainted, made a gesture towards Emiya Kiritsugu upstairs.

"You've successfully defeated the confirmed target. Thank you for your hard work, Emiya."

On the second-floor windowsill, Remilia's eyes were fixed on Li Cheng. Her initially bored and disdainful expression had now turned into one of great interest.

The ability he just used possessed both a gap and a realm. There was no mistake; I couldn't have been wrong. He used it directly, and at that moment, the aura of the demon beside me did indeed appear on his body. This was definitely not the effect of a normal shikigami contract. You must know that although Lan could use Zi's gap, she only gained a certain degree of usage rights. But this man, when he used those powers, activated them completely autonomously. There is a fundamental difference between the two.

"Hmph, it seems things are getting interesting."

The young vampire with red eyes chuckled softly, looking up at the sky at the pure white full moon.

What will happen next? I really want to know!

Chapter 8, Section 148: The End of the Night

After confirming that the sorcerer who had attacked had his magical abilities completely destroyed by Kiritsugu Emiya's bullets, Li Cheng found some tape and rope and tied him up tightly. He then threw him into the gap, planning to interrogate him properly at the sixth group's branch the next day in front of everyone.

"Are you alright, Emiya?"

As Li Cheng entered the stairwell, he ran into Emiya Kiritsugu, who was coming downstairs.

"Is it because of that Dead Apostle?" Kiritsugu Emiya looked up at the discovery on the second floor, clearly pointing at Remilia. "That doesn't seem to be an ordinary Dead Apostle. It's a rather high-level fantasy vampire, isn't it? I remember that this type of vampire stopped being active more than a hundred years ago."

As he spoke, Kiritsugu Emiya turned to stare at Li Cheng with a serious expression.

"What on earth is going on? First, a powerful A-rank martial artist appeared, then an A-rank magician showed up, and what's with that vampire? Why is everyone targeting her? And why did you bring back this thing that looks like a child?"

"That's very rude, Emiya. Shio is no ordinary person!"

Li Cheng retorted with considerable dissatisfaction.

So this is the crux of the problem?

"Anyway, whatever you think, bring that vampire to the Sixth Squad's branch tomorrow," Kiritsugu Emiya sighed a few times, rubbing his forehead, and finally, as if giving up, raised his head and said indifferently, "Undoubtedly, because you picked up this girl, certain forces have already set their sights on you and sent people to attack you. We need to find a way to solve this problem, don't we?"

Afterwards, Kiritsugu Emiya discussed some details with Li Cheng, and finally decided to meet at the Sixth Group's branch building at nine o'clock the next morning to clarify the issues.

Looks like I've caused everyone trouble again...

Li Cheng walked up the stairs, somewhat annoyed, and opened the door. He was pondering the origins of the two who had attacked him that night when he looked up and suddenly saw Xi pinning Remilia down, a devilish smile on her face, tickling Remilia's armpits. The young vampire Remilia, meanwhile, was filled with pain and anger, her large eyes brimming with tears, only managing to struggle on.

"Uh, tide, what are you doing? I think I told you before that bullying others is wrong, it's the behavior of a bad child."

Standing at the doorway, Li Cheng subtly observed the two disheveled children on the floor, one on top of the other, and spoke softly. Noticing Li Cheng watching her, Xi quickly got off Remilia, grabbed her hat, put it on her own head, and ran to Li Cheng.

"As I said, I told Xi to keep an eye on her," Xi said earnestly, pointing to Remilia, who was trembling as she got up from the ground, "She tried to run away. So tide caught her, and then, punished her!"

Punishing by tickling? To be honest, sometimes when tide is disobedient, I do tickle her on purpose. After all, tide's body is very sensitive, and she will scream and struggle if I tickle her.

"Waaah... That's too much, too much! Even in its juvenile form, it can be this vicious? You monster from the gap, I will never let you go!"

Completely different from her haughty demeanor when she sat on the windowsill, Remilia now looked like a bullied little girl, her face full of grievance and sadness. She sat on the ground, touching her head, and suddenly realized that Shio had taken her hat. Looking up, she saw the hat that belonged to her, now on Shio's head.

"Give it back to me, you unreasonable bastard!"
