Chapter 300 Elsa and Dr. Pym
Stanny raised his pistol in despair.

Now it’s not a question of whether he can bear to do it, but if he doesn’t shoot, this monster will tear him to pieces.

"Damn it! Damn it! Go to hell!"

Roaring angrily, Stanny raised his pistol and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Then the monster moved so quickly and fiercely that no matter how he pulled the trigger, he couldn't hit it.

"Boom!"

The monster that was holding his son's body made an indistinct sound and jumped onto the stairs with a bang.

Stanny took a step forward, raised his gun, and fired a shot into the darkness based on his feeling.

"boom!"

The sound of bullets hitting the wooden stairs was heard, and wood chips flew everywhere.

The monsters that were not hit by the gun immediately pounced on him.

The kitchen knife grazed his face.

With a "bang", although he was not hit, he was pushed out violently.

He fell heavily to the ground, and the pistol in Stanny's hand was thrown out.

Coughing, blood spurted out of his mouth as he looked at the monster that was slowly walking towards him.

There was a yellow light in the other person's eyes, as if he was a monster from hell that could take away people's hearts.

The monster holding the son's body did not come up to kill him, but instead let out a sinister laugh.

The other party took the gasoline that he might have found in the garage.

It was in a red bucket that could hold 5 gallons of gasoline, which he usually used to refuel his car.

Then, as he watched in horror, the other party began pouring gasoline from where his neighbor was lying in the kitchen, soaking the tablecloth and the carpet on the floor.

The creature then walked into the living room and poured amber gasoline on the carpet, sofa, magazine rack, and chairs.

Finally, this monster with a terrifying appearance walked into the hall downstairs and went to the bedroom at the back.

The whole room was filled with a strong smell of gasoline.

"Fake!"

He had already guessed that the monster wanted to set fire to the room.

Do not!
I must stop him!
He wanted to stand up, but he felt weak all over.

I felt a piercing pain in my back and shoulders, and I grimaced every time I moved.

Just when he thought he was going to be burned to death in despair, he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound.

The sound seemed to come from above.

Puzzled, he immediately looked up.

All I saw was a shadow flashing across the ceiling.

And "Jack", who was preparing to light a fire in the living room, also noticed something.

He turned around in confusion, only to be greeted by a dark shadow emitting a strong smell of blood.

The presence carrying a strong smell of blood directly pushed "Jack" into the wall.

With a "bang", the entire wall shook slightly.

The monster "Jack" who fell from the wall no longer had the creepy smile on his face, but was replaced by a look of deep fear.

An intuition from biological instinct made him suddenly realize that the creature attacking him was of a higher level than himself.

After letting out a shrill scream, he jumped up and rushed out, ready to escape from this place.

As a result, a claw pierced his shoulder and blood spurted out immediately.

And Stanny, who was lying on the ground not far away, finally saw clearly what it was.

A terrifying black creature with an appearance that ordinary people cannot understand.

The eerie exoskeleton, the ferocious skull face, the swift movement speed and the ferocious and brutal power made him hold his breath.

As he watched, the "queen" opened her mouth, dripping with slime, and approached the monster's body.

The monster that was so arrogant before began to tremble in fear.

"Crack!"

The next second, a terrifying creature suddenly appeared, stretched out its tongue and pierced Jack's chest directly.

Blood flowed down "Jack's" body.

With a "thump", "Jack" fell to the ground.

The kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Stunned, Stanny looked at the "Queen" who killed the monster in one fell swoop, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time.

What kind of monster is this?
The seemingly powerful monster that was carrying his son's body was killed instantly?
He swallowed and wanted to say something, but then he felt dizzy and immediately fell to the ground uncontrollably and passed out.

"So. What kind of monster is this?"

Under the dim street lights, Russell asked Elsa Bloodstone.

Elsa said she smelled an unusual scent of a dark creature, and the two began to follow Elsa's feeling to track the dark creature.

"What do you know about vampires?"

Elsa stopped and asked him.

"It should be slightly more than the average person, not only because of my identity as a werewolf who is hostile to vampires, but also because there are quite a few vampires among my friends."

He thought of Blade and Vampire.

Well, these two are not the kind of vampires that wantonly harm humans. Instead, they make a living by hunting vampires.

But the origins of both are more or less related to vampires.

Elsa stroked the holster with the family pattern and said, "Early vampires did not have the standard features of today's vampires, such as long teeth and sharp fangs and large lapels. In the early stories, there were various versions of vampires, such as annoying wandering ghosts or unfortunate patients."

"By the 18th century, vampires had actually emerged from stories, and many local authorities and even the church believed that vampires were real."

She paused for a moment and continued:
"Immediately afterwards, a vampire craze swept across the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Countless people were accused of being vampires, and many of them were dug up or crucified on stakes before their bodies were cold."

Russell nodded. "I know. It was because of this movement that the romantic writers who came after were inspired by this bloody history and turned the image of vampires into "decadent aristocrats" who preyed on ordinary people. A "bloodthirsty class" was created."

He asked Elsa, "Does this have anything to do with the monster we were talking about? Is it possible that we are tracking a vampire?"

"That's not a vampire."

Elsa said: "It was during that period that countless corpses were dug up. However, these mutilated corpses did not become vampires. Instead, they became bloodthirsty creatures we call 'zombies' because their bodies were already stiff but they still retained some of their previous memories."

"Hmm, I've heard of similar monsters."

Russell once told him: "It's very similar to the zombies circulating in China."

“It’s totally different.”

Elsa explained: "The corpse that turned into this evil creature has traces of being bitten by some animal on its surface. It looks like a monster deep underground dug through the cave, took away part of the corpse, and then gave the corpse an evil soul."

Russell nodded after hearing this. "It sounds creepy. It reminds me of Kroger. I guess after this monster is resurrected, it will harm his family because the one he remembers most is his family, right?"

(Kroger: A demon summoned by a magician to be a servant two hundred years ago. He can breathe fire from his mouth, likes to occupy other people's bodies and devour their souls, and can even transform into various animals or human appearances.)
"You guessed it, Russell."

Elsa raised her gun and pointed it at the nothingness in the dark night. "So we have to kill this dark creature."

As the two talked, they followed the smell and soon arrived at Stanny's house.

The pungent smell of gasoline entered their nostrils.

After looking at each other, the two of them immediately walked quickly into the room.

The shocking sight of the corpse in the living room startled the two men.

"here!"

Elsa ran to the living room quickly, shotgun in hand.

The living room was filled with the pungent smell of gasoline.
She saw a monster with a pierced chest.

"My God!"

Russell couldn't help but take a deep breath.

What kind of monster is this?
"This is the 'zombie', but he's already dead. The powerful force tore open his chest and pierced his heart."

Erza said as she examined the body despite the smell of blood.

Suddenly!

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind the two of them.

Russell was the first to react. He stepped back suddenly and grabbed the dagger at his waist.

Before he transformed, he also had weapons that could hurt the enemies.

Elsa Bloodstone looked at the alien "Queen" standing in front of her and couldn't help but take a breath.

Is this the legendary alien? !

She had heard about this strange and legendary dark creature for a long time.

I didn’t expect that I could see it in person now!

The human form, insect exoskeleton, and exquisite yet cold mechanical texture made this creature look brutal and ferocious, making her feel immersed in a dark atmosphere.

After receiving Peter's order, the "Queen" did not immediately attack the human in front of her, but instead looked at Russell, who gave her a sense of familiarity.

Russell, who was nearly killed by the "Queen" in Bear Mountain National Park, was stunned when he saw this "old friend". Elsa heard Russell's nervous breathing, and her finger was on the trigger of the shotgun, ready to shoot if anything went wrong.

As the two groups were confronting each other, they suddenly heard clear footsteps coming from outside.

Elsa gripped the shotgun nervously and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Boom!"

Peter took a step forward, and a dark figure appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's you again!"

Elsa made a surprised sound when she saw Peter appear.

"Should we have met?"

Peter asked, taking in the other man's figure.

"Of course, you warned us last time."

Elsa hasn't realized yet that the Spider-Man in front of her is not the same Spider-Man she saw last time.

Russell thought of something. He glanced at the alien "Queen" beside him and asked uncertainly, "So, this is your first time meeting us? I mean, wasn't you the Spider-Man in the bar last time?"

Peter lowered his head to glance at the restless "Queen" and signaled to her that the human in front of her could not be eaten for the time being.

"There have been many Spider-Men here, but I should be the only one."

Peter glanced at the monster's corpse on the ground and said to Russell, "We meet again, Mr. Russell."

Russell's lip twitched.

I don't want to meet you, especially your pet that almost killed me.

"In short, no matter which Spider-Man impersonating me you met, monster hunters, when you set foot here, it's best not to touch a creature."

Peter pointed at the Queen and said, "I know you hunt dark creatures, but it's best to bypass them, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

He heard from Helen that there was a kind of demon hunter in the world who specialized in dealing with dark creatures.

Just like the monster Wendigo that the two saw in the Ghost Swamp last time.

In addition, Helen also gave popular science about other monsters.

Such as the Yeti living on the snowy mountains, the Bigfoot hiding in the mountains, the snakes that turn you to stone if you look at them, the hermaphroditic two-headed Siren that uses its singing to confuse passing ships, and the terrifying Chernobyl monster in the dark.

As to why Helen knew so much about this.

In her words, if you live long enough, you will know many secrets that humans don't know.

Although he didn't know Elsa Bloodstone, based on her professional performance just now, he guessed that she should be the witcher.

Elsa faced Peter and wanted to say something harsh to him just like she did last time when she faced the "fake Peter".

But due to Peter's more powerful aura and the intimidation of the alien creature, the harsh words finally turned into "Who are you?"

Did she want to ask who Peter was?

Human or monster?

Why does the other party control these dark creatures?

Is the relationship between him and this dark creature simply a contractual one?

Before Peter could answer her, Russell said directly to him: "I'm sure you've seen, Spider-Man, that the creatures lurking in the dark began to move because someone had the power to control them."

"Oh?"

Peter glanced at him, "Who?"

"We don't know yet, but the other party should be a mutant. He obtained the blood stone and then had the power to control these monsters."

"Bloodstone?"

Peter heard this for the first time.

"If you can help us, maybe we can prevent more people from dying."

Russell said to him sincerely: "Keep the innocent people safe from harm."

Peter didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, but he was interested in the "blood stone" mentioned by the werewolf.

"Tell me, what is bloodstone?"

Russell glanced at Elsa and suddenly felt a little panicked.

“That’s my father’s legacy.”

Elsa glared at Russell and said to Peter, "One day, I will take it back from the enemy with my own hands."

"Whatever, but if you have any news about the Lord of Bloodstone, you can contact my agent."

After listening to Elsa's words, Peter took out a business card of Helen and handed it to the two of them.

He didn't mind cooperating with the girl of "Blood Stone".

After taking a deep look at the two of them, he turned and left.

half an hour.

"Elsa, you can take your fingers off the Winchester rifle. He's gone."

Russell said to Elsa who was biting her lip.

"He's the real Spider-Man."

Elsa seemed not to have heard his words and whispered, "Just the feeling of oppression it gives people is not comparable to that of the fake guy before."

"Also, the dark creature next to him, it makes me feel terrified, even when facing 'Gargantus' I didn't feel this way."

(Gargantus: a monster with telepathic perception)

Russell stared at the monster's corpse on the ground and said faintly: "Maybe we have brought in a more terrifying monster."

At this time, Stanny, who was lying on the second floor, finally woke up slowly.

He touched the blood on his face and made a sound of pain.

When the two heard the noise, they immediately rushed to the second floor to rescue people.

Meanwhile, in Manhattan.

Dr. Pym was staring intently at the flames in the fireplace.

The flames in the fireplace kept changing as if they were being controlled by someone.

The red flames also illuminated his slightly tired face.

He watched the changes in the flames, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Dimensional portal?"

After a while, he whispered to himself.

He had previously received an invitation from Tony Stark, asking him to cooperate in opening a quantum channel to enter a parallel world.

It is not impossible for him to break through the barriers between universes and enter other universes.

He had worked on similar machines before.

However, things have changed recently.

According to Tony Stark, after the Spider-Mans' battle in New York, some changes occurred in the space barrier.

Traveling between the multiple worlds seems to have become more difficult.

According to him, it was a weaving master from a parallel world who closed the dimensional portal and tightly shut the door to the entire multiverse, not allowing anyone to enter.

Unless you get his permission, it becomes increasingly difficult to enter other worlds.

(Tony Stark has temporarily given up the research and development of the quantum realm channel because of Peter's return)
Pym is not very interested in cosmic myths and legends, and believes more in the power of science.

He picked up the coffee in his hand and looked at his pet.

It was a tabby cat.

"You said I should continue to study the quantum realm channel? Although it can help me cross the barriers of the universe, the microscopic world is full of strange unknowns, darkness and dangers lurk there."

Dr. Pym said to his pet.

The tabby cat named "Merlin" yawned and put his head on the cushions near the fireplace. There was fur on the cushions and he liked the feeling of leaning on them.

"Do you think I should try it?"

Dr. Pym put his head close to Merlin, as if listening to what it was saying.

"Merlin" raised his head and cast a blank look at his owner.

"If I introduce something dark into this world, I will become a sinner to mankind."

The blazing fire illuminated the faces of Dr. Pym and Merlin.

"The universe maintains a fragile balance. Once it is broken, do you know what will happen?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be telling it to "Merlin".

"If we fail, the balance that should be maintained between the universes will be completely destroyed, and we can't allow that to happen, right?"

Dr. Pym walked to the bookshelf and took a book from it, and "Merlin" followed him closely.

"But you can give it a try. The unknown is the most beautiful thing in this universe. Maybe I can break through the barrier of the universe."

He soon convinced himself and continued to study quantum channels.

He believed that he could make new discoveries and deal with new crises.
