Chapter 2924 When Night Falls (Part )
However, since the plan had already been implemented, Constantine thought it would be better to stick with it, but out of curiosity, he did a study.
He discovered that as their bloodlines became thinner and thinner, that is, as one bite after another ended up biting them, many vampires had almost no strength left, only weaknesses.
In other words, they don't know any magic, their strength is not much stronger than that of ordinary people, they need to rely on sucking blood to survive, they are afraid of sunlight and holy objects, and they are more like half human, half vampire.
But perhaps because of this, they have one biggest advantage, which is that their father's control over them is not as strong. Although it still exists, it may be because the blood is too thin and the distance is too far that it is difficult to sense.
This gave Constantine a possibility.
Perhaps there is no need to carve runes on the heart. Constantine only needs to select those descendants with very thin bloodlines and send them to the past. Then it may be difficult for their father to contact them. After all, the farthest distance in the world is time.
In other words, it is possible to test which generation of vampires has the bloodline strong enough to control their offspring across time. Apart from these vampires, wouldn't all the descendants of vampires be free after being sent to the past?
The results of the experiment were more optimistic than Constantine had imagined. The unlimited expansion of vampires brought many bad consequences, one of which was that the number of vampires with such thin blood was unimaginable.
So Constantine changed the plan a little bit. Now he didn't need the vampires to come to him on their own initiative. He would go directly to find these vampires with thin bloodlines, put them in sacks and throw them into the time gate.
When these vampires were thrown into the past, their fathers in the present could not contact them, and in the past when they returned, their fathers might not have become vampires yet, or they themselves had not yet been turned into vampires, so their fathers naturally could not control them.
This caused the vampires in the past timeline to become even more chaotic. In addition to the vampire Flash with a voracious appetite, there came a group of confused newborn vampires who had no one to control or organize them.
Then Constantine discovered that the sudden outbreak of the vampire disaster a few months ago seemed to be caused by him.
After some research by Constantine and Schiller, it turned out that this is actually the case.
They went back in time and found Barry who had not been turned into a vampire, and let this group of normal Flashes deal with the vampire Flash.
They did go, but time went on normally, and the Flash knew that someday in the future - Constantine and Schiller told him an approximate time, which was about a few months ago - he would be turned into a vampire.
Then of course the Flash would think, if I can avoid becoming a vampire, then wouldn't all these vampire Flashes no longer exist?
Although Constantine and Schiller persuaded him that if the vampire had already targeted him, he would eventually become a vampire no matter how hard he struggled, but how could the Flash not give it a try?
He felt that as long as he stayed in an absolutely safe place during the time when he might be turned into a vampire, and spent this time without being bitten, then thousands of vampire flashes would disappear out of thin air.
He knew it, and Vampire Flash certainly knew it, so Vampire Flash's first goal was of course to make sure he got bit.
Compared to normal Flashes, their advantage is that they know how they were bitten, so they kept driving Barry to the place where he was attacked before.
The normal Flash was running in front and the vampire Flash was chasing behind. They passed through several cities, including the city where the superhero was.
Of course the Vampire Flash needed to eat when he was tired from running, so just as Constantine and Schiller speculated, they captured people nearby, which led to the first wave of population disappearances a few months ago.
Then Constantine and Schiller threw those young vampires to a point in the past, and many of them fell into a later time.
They were very confused, but they still had to eat. However, they did not have the ability of the vampire Flash, who could use super speed to catch people without anyone noticing. They were still the old vampires, turning into bats at night to attack humans.
This made the superheroes officially realize that the disappearance of people might be related to vampires.
Then the vampires who already existed, perhaps they had received orders from the Vampire King and were lying dormant with no intention of coming out, but suddenly they found that their takeaway food had been stolen.
This group of young vampires is not numerous, but they have a lot of food to eat. The superhumans they recruited caused disaster to the local vampires as well.
The local vampires were also puzzled. After much investigation, they found that these guys were not on the family tree at all. No vampire could control them, and they could not be stopped by forceful control.
So the two sides started fighting.
Constantine has been sending newborn vampires from the present to the past, so naturally there are more and more newborn vampires. What should the local old vampires do if they can't defeat them? That is naturally to find a way to expand their military forces and start transforming humans into new vampires.
This is the truth behind the explosive expansion of vampires that began a few months ago.
In other words, there was actually no vampire disaster, but it was because of this vampire disaster that the vampire disaster happened.
In other words, it’s not that the Vampire King has not considered the consequences of unlimited expansion, but that they have to expand in order to deal with these free vampires sent from the future.
This also explains a question that Constantine had, that is, Mary's pure-blooded vampire plan was not actually ready. The Vampire King was there, but he had not yet been combined with a spouse to dilute the bloodline and give birth to the rational and capable offspring that Mary wanted. How could Mary allow the Vampire King to make such a big fuss?
This vampire disaster is of no benefit to Mary. Such a big move will definitely attract the attention of the Justice League. The current Vampire King is just a transition, and is still far from Mary's ideal of a true king of magic who has inherited countless copyrights through blood. This is not popping champagne at halftime, this is popping champagne before the starting gun even sounds.
It would be almost impossible for Mary, who has absolute control over the Vampire King, to make such a decision on her own initiative. In other words, she was actually forced into this situation.
Mary must be going crazy too. Where on earth did these vampires come from who can't be traced back and who don't know how to control them? ? ?
Finding this tactic effective, Constantine simply mobilized the members of the Dark Justice League and ordered them to capture these vampires everywhere, making the war situation more and more tense.
This has greatly alleviated the security pressure on the current superheroes, because without these new vampires, the speed of vampire expansion has slowed down significantly. The Martian Manhunter, who is in charge of the Justice League, soon discovered that the spread of vampires has been brought under control.
At this time, the three giants of the Justice League are joining forces to fight the blood-sucking monster. Since they can use shadow magic, Superman's attack as the sun is ineffective, so they still have to use the traditional method, which is a three-sided siege.
In fact, there were more than three sides. Arkham Knight and Doctor Strange quickly rested and joined the battle. Under the siege of five people, the monster soon became scarred.
Soon, Batman successfully set a trap and tripped the monster. Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth flew out and tied up the monster's strong arms. Superman shot off most of the monster's body with a laser.
The huge blood-sucking monster fell down with a wail, its magical power began to dissipate, and its vitality gradually weakened. Doctor Strange used his last bit of strength to summon the dead blood-sucking monster again.
Constantine, who has basically handed over the work to his fellow Dark Justice League members, told Batman about Mary. Needless to say, with the help of the blood-sucking monster, Batman will naturally make this stupid and arrogant woman get into trouble.
But Constantine was not idle either. He and Schiller had one last job to do, which was to find the vampire king who had been hiding behind the scenes.
Schiller has not forgotten that there is a traitor in the Bat Family. If as expected, he should be the so-called Vampire King.
On the way back to Wayne Manor with Constantine, Schiller recalled all the previous details and he quickly identified the target.
"What plans do you have for dealing with him?" Constantine asked.
Schiller shook his head and said, "We don't need to have any plans. As long as we can identify the suspect and produce evidence, and hand it all over to Alfred, the old butler will naturally have a way."
"Who do you think it is?"
"There is a detail worth noting." Schiller tapped the back of his hand lightly. He said, "Another time when I invaded the Batcave, Cassandra was locked outside the gate of the Batcave."
"so what?"
"Batman would not design the security system so stupidly, unless someone deliberately wanted to delay Cassandra, the strongest fighter among Robins, so that the vampires who invaded the Batcave could succeed."
"But he doesn't know that it was actually you who invaded."
"Yeah, so after he realized something was wrong, he let Cassandra in again."
"It's full of holes."
"Yes. As long as we get the system records of the security system being hacked at that time, it will be clear who did it."
Constantine already had the answer in his mind.
When Barbara was caught, Dick just sighed in his heart.
"So you are the king of vampires, and he..." Constantine turned to look at Dick and said, "He is the spouse Mary prepared for you?"
Barbara's eyes sparkled. She neither confirmed nor denied it. Schiller shook his head and said, "Fortunately, Mary was worried that the tragedy from last time would happen again, so she deliberately sent a vampire with thin blood to transform Dick so that he could dilute your blood."
Because of his thin bloodline, he wasn't that crazy to begin with. After I pulled out his fangs, he basically came to his senses. Otherwise, if you really let something happen to Batman's eldest son, you and your mother would probably be in big trouble."
Gordon, who rushed over, couldn't believe what he saw. He said, "Why is Barbara here? Is there some misunderstanding?!"
"I think you are the one who misunderstood." Constantine said, "Have you done a paternity test? Are you sure she is your biological daughter?"
Gordon was stunned by the question. After all, who would suddenly suspect this and then go for a paternity test?
Schiller looked at Dick again and asked, "Can you tell me now? How can you move freely in the sun?"
Dick sighed deeply, lowered his head and said, "I drank a man's blood."
"Who?"
"Starfire, but I know she's not Starfire."
"Then who is she?"
"It's Barbara Gordon." A voice came, and a nimble figure jumped in from the window. She had long fiery red hair.
"Starfire?" Jason called out her name.
"You can call me that, but I am the real Barbara Gordon. The one tied in front of you was swapped with me when we were babies. Knowing this, I chose Starfire as my code name and have been lurking around you."
The red-haired woman took off her mask, revealing the familiar face of Starfire to the Teen Titans. But now, looking closely, she does look more like James Gordon than the tied-up red-haired woman.
Then she threw out a storage device and said, "I've been keeping an eye on her, take a look at this."
The old butler connected the storage device to the TV screen, and soon the truth was revealed to everyone.
A few months ago, the Flash came to Batman in a panic. He looked very embarrassed and frightened, as if someone was chasing him.
But at that time, Batman went to investigate the vampire infestation in Gotham City, and the Flash came up empty-handed. Just when he was about to leave in frustration, Barbara appeared behind him and said a few words to him.
The Flash seemed very anxious and asked Barbara to open the Batcave for him to take refuge. Barbara pretended to agree and led him to the entrance of the Batcave, but when he entered the disinfection room, she released poison gas, knocked him out and turned him into a vampire.
But the magical thing is that in the last scene, it seemed that two vampire Flashes appeared on the screen, and the other one flashed and then disappeared.
Another video shows that Xan, one of the Wonder Twins, was about to go back to his room, but Green Lantern stopped him, hoping that he could go out on patrol instead of the Flash. Although Xan didn't understand why, he went anyway.
When he came near Gotham, his patrol spaceship suddenly received an urgent order, asking him to go to Wayne Manor immediately. Zan didn't know why, but worried that something had happened to Batman, so he rushed over immediately, but the person he met was not Batman, but Barbara with red eyes.
Although there are still many mysteries to be solved, at least the identity of the Vampire King is beyond doubt.
Now, there is only one last thing left for everyone to do, and that is to completely get rid of the vampire Flash and rescue the Green Lantern who was kidnapped by him.
