Chapter 25: The Balance of Balance
The old bartender was shivering and drinking, and several times he could not pry the bottle open, and finally Donnie helped him open it, urging the old bartender to continue.
During that time, the old bartender's father was really crazy, he secretly captured vampires for experiments, day and night, trying to study the secret of vampire immortality, and estimated the possibility of transferring this ability to himself.
According to the deciphered content on the human skin cloth, he captured a large number of vampires and ordinary people for experiments, and the whole person has fallen into a hysterical situation, and he has abandoned everything in order to become a god.
"At that time, I was just a few years old, and it stands to reason that I should have made a mark and become a member of the Ha Ghost Clan, but at that time, no one cared about a little doll who didn't understand anything, and everyone was attracted to my father." Said the old bartender.
The vampire finally discovers the anomaly of the old bartender's house and secretly sends people to investigate, and finally gets the answer. In order to get the real decipherment of the content, they still pretend not to know, and even create all kinds of coincidences to provide a convenient hunting place for the old bartender's father, and send more experiments over.
Eventually, when he deciphered the last words, the vampires finally got started, and they took advantage of the darkness to storm the old bartender's family and slaughter them, exterminating them overnight.
Only the old bartender, who was sent out of the escape passage by his father in advance, survived.
"That old guy already knew he was being watched, he knew everything." "He's deliberately doing his research, deliberately showing the vampires the results to lure them in and help his research." He knew what the vampires were doing, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me out early on the night of the attack, the timing was too coincidental. ”
"But as you just said, your father has gone crazy in order to become a god, and there is no reason to put him in danger." Donnie said that he felt that the old bartender was hiding something.
The old bartender shook his head, revealing a puzzled expression: "I haven't been able to understand it all these years, he knows everything, he obviously wants everything, but why does he seem to give up everything." ”
Donnie glanced at him and was silent, he thought a lot.
Someone plotted against him and got him into a fight with the vampires. Thinking that it was nothing more than using the hand of a vampire to get rid of him, or to weaken the vampire with his hand, Downey even suspected that someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra was plotting against him, but now that I think about it, it means even more.
Downey is directed to the vampire stronghold, where he goes to the old bartender and ties him up, where he learns of the vampire's god-making plan.
The vampires capture the old bartender and throw him into the colony, they need the old bartender. However, the old bartender was now in his hands, and it was impossible for Donnie to throw the old bartender out unless he had to.
Perfect opposites are formed, and the old bartender is the lever in between.
Donnie asks the old bartender, what did the Thompson family bigwig take from him?
"It's the last piece of human skin, and it's in my necklace, which I wore all the time when I was a kid, and I didn't know it was so important until they found me." The old bartender said that he had a hard time all these years, hiding incognito in Tibet, for fear that vampires would come to his door, but he was eventually found.
Donnie's face was extremely ugly, he was eaten to death from beginning to end, extremely passive.
The mysterious guy knew what he was capable of, and from just a few battles, he had analyzed a lot of things and understood what he needed; At the same time, the guy also knew about the vampire's god-making plan - this kind of classified information couldn't be known to everyone on the street.
This is terrifying, that mysterious man is overwhelmingly superior in intelligence, and even things that only the vampire top brass know, he can get information, which allows that person to calmly make a plan, calculate Donnie and the vampire, and make the two sides completely opposite, irreconcilable.
"If you're so important, why didn't the Thompsons keep you in secret, but instead threw you into a stronghold?" Donnie was suspicious and a little anxious, he had never been eaten so dead, and he was at an absolute disadvantage.
He had never had such an experience or experience, it was troublesome.
The old bartender said that he did not know, and the big man sent his men to search for his necklace, and threw him in the bar, saying that he would come to him again after a while, and warned him not to try to escape, otherwise he would die a miserable death.
"I worked as a bartender at that bar in exchange for food and alcohol. I've been hiding in Tibet for decades, spending most of my time in small bars and black factories, so I'm pretty good at bartending. The old bartender explained, and opened the third bottle of beer, which he hadn't drunk so happily for a long time, unlike the vampires, who had to sleep with one eye open, for fear that a vampire would come in the middle of the night and treat him as blood food.
Donnie walked around with his hands behind his back, very agitated, even sweating a little on his forehead, and there were some details that he was very afraid of.
The crux of the matter is the slain administrator, New York is a city that is too vast, and there is more than one scrap yard around, so the question is, do all the administrators have problems or have been dropped, or is it only the one who was killed?
Well, even through psychology and mental modeling, the guy estimated the scrapyard that Donnie was most likely to go to according to Donnie's usual habits - which is nothing in the modern psychological field - and the slain administrator waited for Donnie to give him this address and guide him to find the old bartender, but why was he sure that Donnie would definitely go?
Downey could have used the stupidest way to buy a scrap car and assemble and upgrade it himself, instead of looking for some remodeling master. Or maybe when he arrived at the tavern, Downey might have carefully observed for a few days, and the result was that the problem was apparent.
The reality is, no, Donnie didn't do it at all, and he walked in with a big grin.
Downey sweated profusely, smiled wryly, opened a bottle of beer, and drank it to himself.
It's a simple choice, I don't know how many bars there are in New York, and this is only opened by people with business licenses and connections, and how many small bars, private bars, and bars inside the gang?
Downey drove Optimus Prime, and all the mobile phones and watches on his body were carefully modified by him with the source of fire, and they were assembled together to withstand the attack of rocket artillery.
It's impossible, the whole New York bar is gone, I don't know how many times, is it possible that Donnie, a dignified high-level mutant, a mutant with an army with him, has to observe every bar for a few days in his life? Do you want to look forward and tremble?
Bars are like this, what other KTV shops and restaurants, can't you go? In this life, don't go out at all, it's best to find a seclusion in the mountains and old forests, not to mention that Donnie is a young man, with strong blood and an impatient temperament, and he rolls up his sleeves as soon as his head is hot.
"I kind of understand why a bunch of masters and doctors commit suicide every year by being cheated out of money, and they are specifically bullying people who lack relevant experience and are prone to fever in their heads." Downey was annoyed, he had never been so passive in his two lives, and was used as a gun to do this.
The point is that I don't know who is calculating him.
The old bartender was lying in the corner, already asleep, surrounded by a pile of bottles, some of which had only been half-drunk, and fell to the ground gurgling.
Donnie looked at the old bartender, his expression a little uncertain.
He and the vampire are like two ends of the scale, and they both have a reason to get the old bartender. The vampire needs to torture the old bartender for some details and information, and Downey has already confronted the vampire, he will not let the old bartender let him reveal his information, and he also needs to hold the old bartender as a bargaining chip to coerce the vampire.
The old bartender is the scale on the scale, and the two sides are destined not to make a deal through the old bartender.
Now Donnie has another option.
Kill the old bartender and break the scale completely.
