Chapter 259 Vampire Hunter

"How does it feel to be a superhero, Wonder Man?"

Harlem, barber shop.

Dad was arranging his hairdressing tools while teasing Luke Cage who was cleaning the store.

"Dad, I've said it before, your nickname is not pleasant." Faced with his persistent teasing, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly.

"To be honest," seeing Luke Cage's reaction, Dad smiled, but couldn't help but asked curiously: "I have never been able to understand Luke, even though he has become Superhero, why do you choose to continue working in a barber shop?"

"Superheroes are people too, Dad."

Perhaps because of his own experience, even though he has become a member of the Defenders, Luke Cage still strives to maintain his original life.

"In addition to doing chivalry, we still have our own lives to live."

After sweeping up the hair on the ground and putting it into a garbage bag, Luke Cage replied silently: "You can't count on us saving the world every day."

"Okay, you're right."

Shrugging his shoulders, Dad looked convinced.

With a smile on his dark face, Luke Cage reached out and lifted the garbage bag on the ground easily: "By the way, Dad, I have to go back early. Mrs. Connie has told me several times that she has prepared a tunnel. The Chinese food is waiting for me to taste." Although he still insists on his own pace of life, Luke Cage's current identity is no longer ordinary after all.

As a member of the Defenders, he has been working hard to protect the safety of Harlem and has been recognized by most residents.

Among them is his landlord, Mrs. Connie.

Carrying the garbage in his hands, he came to the trash can at the back door of the barber shop.

Clang——

Luke Cage turned around and was about to leave, when movement from the corner attracted his attention.

Throwing away the trash in his hand, Luke Cage looked at the dark corner and subconsciously frowned: "Who is where?"

"..."

The other party didn't answer, but the voice kept coming.

This strange scene aroused Luke Cage's vigilance. Without much hesitation, he strode towards the corner relying on his invulnerable body.

As he continued to get closer, Luke Cage finally confirmed the situation in the corner.

He saw a blurry figure facing him in the corner, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was doing.

After confirming the situation, Luke Cage breathed a sigh of relief, but did not let go of his inner vigilance too much: "Sir, what are you doing? This is not the place you should stay."

Luke Cage spoke, but the figure in the corner still didn't react much.

Didn't you hear that?

Facing the figure's unresponsive look, Luke Cage frowned and stepped closer to the corner.

However, the next second he moved forward, the unresponsive figure in the corner suddenly let out a hoarse roar, turned around and rushed towards Luke Cage.

It was also at this time that Luke Cage finally saw the figure clearly. It was a figure covered with wounds all over his body. Even his face looked rotten. His eyes and nose could not be seen clearly, and he was filled with a putrid smell.

Because the figure's attack was too sudden and its appearance was too terrifying, even Luke Cage was unable to react for a moment. Without noticing, the figure that was attacked directly scratched a claw mark on his body.

"What happened, Luke!"

Noticing the movement at the back door of the barber shop, Dad quickly ran out.

"It's nothing, Dad."

The figure's attack tore through Luke Cage's clothes, but was unable to harm the invulnerable body underneath.

Frowning, he reached out and grabbed the opponent's neck. While looking at the opponent's ugly appearance, Luke Cage said to his father who ran out: "We just encountered some trouble. The situation is a bit dangerous now.

Maybe you should get out of the way. "

"Hey, do you think I'm a kid?"

Luke Cage's persuasion aroused his father's dissatisfaction. Instead of following his wishes and leaving, he raised his brows and leaned closer to the corner: "While you are still breastfeeding, Dad, I I have already used a gun to fight with people, and I have encountered more dangers than the girls you pick up."

With that said, Dad had already arrived beside Luke Cage. When he saw the figure he was holding in his hand, the originally boastful expression on his face suddenly solidified: "OMG, what on earth is this?"

"I don't know, but obviously, the guy in front of me can no longer be called a human being."

The struggling figure was very powerful, but there was obviously still some gap compared to Luke Cage, who had superhuman strength. He looked down at the rotting figure in front of him, with a deep frown on his face.

The palm grabbing his neck began to increase in strength, but the figure seemed to have no reaction and continued to attack him crazily.

"Zombie, this guy's name."

Just when Luke Cage was confused about the situation in front of him, a thick voice suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a dusty middle-aged man wearing a dark brown coat appeared at the back door of the barber shop.

The man had a gray beard, a resolute expression, and a conspicuous scar on his weather-beaten face.

"The monster that becomes infected after being infected by a vampire relies on eating corpses to survive. Unless his body is completely crushed, it can still survive even if the body rots."

"Zombie creature?"

Luke Cage frowned as he listened to the man's explanation, then turned his head and glanced at the rotting figure in his hand, already believing 60% to 70% of the man's explanation.

However, he already had doubts in his heart: "Who are you and why do you know these things?"

"My name is Joseph Joestar, and I am a vampire hunter." Faced with the question raised by Luke Cage, the man responded calmly.

[Legendary from Luke Cage +155]

[Legendary from Henry +45]

"Vampire hunter! Are you saying that vampires really exist in this world?"

The self-proclaimed vampire hunter Joseph Joestar made his father look surprised.

"Of course," Joseph Joestar nodded without hesitation: "The corpse man caught in the hands of the tall man is the best proof that he represents a vampire."

As he spoke, Joseph Joestar stepped in front of Luke Cage, looked at the corpse being caught by him, raised his eyebrows and said: "To be honest, although I have already captured and killed There are countless vampires and infected zombies, but this is the first time I have seen someone who can easily block the zombie attacks like you. Although the zombies are far inferior to vampires in terms of strength and speed. , but for ordinary people, it is still a very dangerous and terrifying existence."

"I'm just a little bit special."

Faced with Joseph Joestar's exclamation, Luke Cage instinctively made a humble gesture.

"I see you, but you don't know that being special is as simple as that." Looking at Luke Cage meaningfully, Joseph Joestar retracted his gaze and looked at the zombie struggling in his hands: "Of course , using this method alone, it is still somewhat difficult to kill the zombies."

As he spoke, Joseph Joestar raised his palm, pointed at the zombie in front of him and shouted softly: "Ripples run~"

The palm fell on the body of the zombie.

Luke Cage felt a strange energy coming from Joseph Joestar's body and into the body of the zombie in his hand.

Then he saw that the movements of the struggling zombie instantly froze, white smoke emitted and turned into charcoal.

[Legendary from Luke Cage +155]

[Legendary from Henry +45]

"The weakness of zombies is as obvious as that of vampires. They are afraid of sunlight and the power of ripples."

Putting away his palm, Joseph Joestar looked at the charred zombie in Luke Cage's hand and explained.

Ripple, a wonderful ability in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", has the same effect as sunlight and can cause devastating damage to vampires.

The ripple power used by Joseph Joestar at this moment comes from the ultimate creature Kaz.

As an ultimate creature, Kaz can control the cells in his body at will, so he can naturally learn the power of ripples easily.

Released his grip on the corpse and watched the charcoal break into pieces. Luke Cage smelled the burning smell that filled the tip of his nose and forced himself to calm down.

The scene that happened in front of him, whether it was a zombie or a vampire hunter, shocked the superhero from the street. After all, a quarter of an hour ago, he was still thinking about tasting the authentic Chinese food prepared by Mrs. Connie. At this moment But he no longer had much appetite.

"Why are the zombies in Harlem?"

As a regional superhero, Luke Cage's scope of activities is not wide, but it is precisely because of this that he knows the Harlem where he lives very well. It is clear that he had never heard of Harlem before today. There are zombies or vampires in Lyme.

"The appearance of the zombie can only mean one thing."

Luke Cage's question exactly met Joseph Joestar's purpose. He immediately followed the other person's words and answered: "That is, vampires have appeared in New York. In fact, this is also the reason why I The reason why I came to New York is that in order to catch the legendary Vampire King, I got clues in Norway and his servant once appeared in New York."

"The Vampire King?"

Joseph Joestar's words made Luke Cage's worries deepen.

"If everything you said is true, then the incident about vampires can no longer be dealt with by me alone. We need to rely on the power of the Defenders Alliance."

"The Defenders?"

Hearing Luke Cage's answer, Joseph Joestar had a puzzled expression on his face.

"what is that?"

Luke Cage: "A superhero group."

…

"How's it going?"

Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin Building.

Hiding his huge body in the shadows, Kingpin discovered that after being transformed into a vampire, he could still see everything in front of him clearly even in a dark environment.

For him, darkness is no longer an obstacle, but the best cover.

"We have successfully transformed most people into zombies."

In front of Jin Bin, a subordinate who also had sharp teeth lowered his head and answered.

After using the stone ghost face to transform into a vampire, Jin did not hesitate to infect his men into vampires, and ordered them to use their abilities to continuously infect, and soon formed an army of zombies. Now, this army of zombies who are not afraid of life and death has filled the building and has become the most terrifying force under his hands.

"Order all infected zombies to wear masks and protective clothing."

As a vampire, Kingpin is very aware of his weaknesses. The Stone Ghost Face gave him power and life beyond humans, but at the cost of being unable to walk under the sun.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem, and the Red Skull was able to find a solution during World War II.

Nowadays, this is even more true.

"From today on, they're going to be a nightmare for all of New York."

"Yes, Kingpin."

He lowered his head and answered without hesitation.

As a vampire infected by Kingpin, he completely obeys the other party's orders. Even if Kingpin tells him to die now, he will jump off the roof of the building without hesitation.

"Speed ​​up the progression of infection."

Lighting the cigar, the looming fire flickered in the shadows, and Kingpin continued to issue his orders: "When everyone is infected, it is time for us to attack."

Shaking off the ash from the cigar in his hand, Kingpin grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, and his red eyes flashed with hatred: "And our first target is the defender."

…

"Wait a minute, let me calm down..."

[From the legend of Daredevil...]

[From the legend of Jessica Jones...]

[From Danny...]

In Matt's law firm, the defenders gathered together.

After Jessica listened to everything Luke Cage said, she turned her head and glanced at the weathered Joseph Joestar beside him, shook her head, and tried to digest the news brought by the other party.

"Or are you going to tell me right now that this is all just a joke?"

In response, Luke Cage shrugged and replied with a wry smile: "I also hope that this is all a joke, but obviously, it is not the case."

Luke Cage's answer completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Jessica's heart.

She muttered something to herself and felt a headache.

"Damn, what happened to this world? It's both an alien and a vampire. I've already begun to miss the ordinary and lovely world. Although the original world was just as annoying, at least it wouldn't be like this. It’s like a circus show, giving me unwanted shit surprises every day.”
