Ye Shouxin raised an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised.

Lin Fan casually smiled, tilted his head back, and downed a cup of hot tea, laughing heartily: "Good tea, old man, thank you."

Whoosh~

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan tossed the teacup back in the same manner, and as expected, Ye Shouxin easily caught it again, placing it on the stone table and leisurely filling it up once more!

Bai Weiwei watched this scene with a face full of amazement; the flying teacup was like a juggling act. The most astonishing part was that not a single drop of the hot tea spilled, it was more miraculous than a Hollywood blockbuster!

"Get into the game, the Dragon King is waiting for you," Ye Shouxin said, then leisurely lay back on the bench, closing his eyes again.

"Gotta find a chance to introduce him to that old man back home; with their personalities, they're sure to piss in the same pot," Lin Fan grinned and said, then walked into the room with Bai Weiwei.

To Lin Fan's surprise, besides the Dragon King, there were several big men dressed in special forces military uniforms standing inside the room.

All these men had flat-top haircuts, muscular bodies, and extremely sharp gazes, evidently battle-hardened warrior kings!

When these men saw Lin Fan, their expressions immediately tightened, showing a trace of vigilance.

The Dragon King, with his burly physique, sat on a large chair like a small mountain, exuding an aura of a warrior god. If timid people saw the Dragon King, they would probably be too scared to speak.

"You're here." The Dragon King gave Lin Fan a slight smile.

Lin Fan wasn't as polite with the Dragon King, casually pulling up a chair, sitting down with his legs crossed, and asking: "Old geezer, what's going on? You called me here in such a hurry, I couldn't even pick up a girl."

"Take a look at this." The Dragon King's tone suddenly turned serious, moving the notebook on the table with his broad hand!

Lin Fan, full of curiosity, turned to look at the notebook, and his expression immediately froze!

The notebook displayed an image of a dead person, no! It's not just dead—it's a mummy, because the person had all their flesh drained, leaving only a dry skin, like a salted fish dried in the sun.

The most shocking part was, this person definitely hadn't been dead for long, where time would have eroded the flesh. The time of death was absolutely less than twenty-four hours ago.

"What is this situation?" Lin Fan asked in a tense voice.

"This is a photo sent from the Hong Kong side; it appears this person was drained of their flesh, reduced to a mummy," the Dragon King said gravely.

Hiss~

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but draw in a breath of cold air.

Being drained of flesh—could it be the vampires from Hollywood blockbusters?

Legend has it that vampires originated from the descendants of noble European royalty, later infected by a virus known as porphyria, making them afraid of sunlight, onions, silverware, and requiring blood transfusions to sustain life.

There are countless vampire legends throughout Europe and America. In the minds of people, vampires mean death and horror; they are inhuman, but a hybrid of humans and beasts, extremely brutal.

The United States and several European countries reported many vampire-related incidents last century, with rumors stating vampires are real. Some even captured photos of vampires, and records show a whole village was massacred by vampires, causing an uproar!

However, due to the terrifying nature of these events, to prevent global panic, all nations sealed off vampire information. Over time, the matter faded from public consciousness, and people's knowledge of vampires remained mostly on the Internet and in movies, with few truly believing in their existence!

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's body tightened, because vampires are definitely more than just a myth!

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the Dark Realm wasn't called the Dark Realm, but rather the Death Realm. Back then, the Death Realm held many races, with the vampire race being the strongest.

And a hundred years ago, without explanation, the entire vampire race suddenly vanished, leaving their fate a mystery!

There's a rumor that the vampire clan received a curse, forbidding them from appearing for a hundred years. If calculated, it's supposedly been just one hundred years since that rumor!

"Could it really be those monsters?" Lin Fan exclaimed.

The Dragon King's eyes brightened, saying, "It seems you indeed understand those monsters. Was the rumor true after all?"

Lin Fan shook his head, Ning Sheng said, "I'm not entirely sure. If it's really true, then the entire world's balance might change."

"Regardless of the truth, the nature of this event is too horrifying, and we must prevent it from happening! If the rumors are true, the occurrence in Hong Kong suggests those monsters intend to invade Huaxia. I must stop this from happening; Huaxia cannot allow these monsters to invade."

The Dragon King's large hands immediately clenched together, his face grave.

"You don't mean you want me to deal with those monsters, do you?" Lin Fan suddenly asked in surprise.

The Dragon King nodded, saying, "That's exactly what I intend! Given that these monsters belong to the Dark Realm, you're more knowledgeable about their legends than we are. You're the most suitable person to resolve this."

"Damn! I'm not doing it!"

Lin Fan didn't even think before bluntly refusing!

Damn it! Do you know what vampires are? They're akin to vengeful spirits from hell, instilling terror with just the thought of them.

Going to kill vampires? That's a suicide mission!

"Lin Fan, I hope you understand: if those monsters indeed infiltrated Hong Kong, the consequences for Huaxia would be unimaginable. You are a Huaxia citizen; when the country is in trouble, every man has a responsibility. If you can resolve this, you'll be a Huaxia hero!" the Dragon King said.

"Please! Don't throw this moral talk at me. What does the country's trouble have to do with me? Besides, the title of 'hero' mostly goes to the dead. I'd rather be a coward and live a few more years. Without life, no kind of glory means a damn thing!"

"Moreover, if I really killed the vampires, that would mean offending the entire vampire clan. Do you have any idea how many vampires there are? Conservatively speaking, there are over ten thousand! You're throwing me under the bus here!"

"Old man, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving. Deal with the vampire issue however you like, but I'm not getting involved!"

Having said this, Lin Fan rose to leave!

"Stop him!" the Dragon King suddenly commanded.

Rustle~

The men in the room didn't dare hesitate; they immediately formed a human barrier at the doorway, their sharp eyes fixed on Lin Fan, ready to intervene at the Dragon King's command!

The atmosphere was getting rather tense!
