Chapter 597: Chapter 596: A Zealot Believer Appears Midway

"Ahhhhhh!!"

A ghoul raised the gun in its hand, aiming ahead, and bullets flew out of the muzzle, sweeping through the corridor before it.

But even with such fierce firepower, it completely failed to hit the figure that seemed to stroll through the shadows of the night. Soon, accompanied by the flickering of sword light, the next moment saw the ghoul, together with the weapon in its hand, sliced into pieces.

"I always have the feeling that I’ve been tricked by that woman..."

Looking at the scattered remains of the ghoul before him, Fang Zheng sheathed his greatsword and snorted coldly.

At first, Fang Zheng thought that by joining the Hellsing organization, he could fight all sorts of powerful creatures, and then he could legitimately exterminate these monsters to obtain the firewood he needed to burn the Soulfire and repair the system at the same time.

After joining Hellsing, Fang Zheng did indeed have to face many "powerful" creatures.

Well... compared to humans, that is.

Integra hadn’t lied. Recently, traces of vampires had been rampant throughout the United Kingdom; but to Fang Zheng’s disappointment, he had not encountered a single one of the rank like Alucard, not to mention not even seeing vampires of the rank depicted in "Van Helsing" either. All he had met were lesser vampires who could suck blood, had physical abilities stronger than normal humans, and could create ghouls... and couldn’t even transform...

What use were these lower-life forms!

Although these vampires could also be burned by Fang Zheng, they were only worth as much as twigs and firewood picked up from the roadside. Fang Zheng had burned so many, yet the system’s repair progress hadn’t even increased by one percent!

Not to mention...

"Bang Bang Bang!"

"Tch."

Hearing the continuous gunfire from above, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.

"It’s not enough that I can’t solo the instance, but I also have to mentor a ’noob’..."

That’s right, each time Fang Zheng was deployed, he couldn’t "solo" an instance, but he also had to bring along a "noob", which was the policewoman who had been turned into a Blood Descendant by Alucard during their first encounter — Seras Victoria.

As for why this was necessary, Integra had given her reasons.

Alucard’s weapon was destroyed by Fang Zheng, and it was taking some time to remake it; Seras naturally needed to join the fight as a combatant. So, in the fights that followed, Fang Zheng had to operate in tandem with Seras, while Alucard acted as a "mentor," guiding Seras to become familiar with her powers.

Fang Zheng didn’t have much of an opinion on the clueless policewoman, but he seriously doubted Alucard was doing this to steal his kills on purpose. It was clear that each time they encountered vampires, there were only a few small fries, yet he deliberately let Seras engage them, throwing Fang Zheng to the side without a word, and had the audacity to order the clueless policewoman to steal his kills?

Hey, look at my fiery temper... I’m a Paladin; do you believe I’d burn you on the spot?!

However, this world’s "zombies" were indeed quite unique.

In Fang Zheng’s memory, zombies in typical films and games were slow-moving, immensely strong creatures that bullied people with their numbers. But the "zombies" in this world were different. Although they were also slow and had poor reaction times, one could not overlook the fact that they could use guns!

Wow, gun-wielding, higher-up obeying, fearless soldiers, Fang Zheng could bet that if this world had an Umbrella Corporation, they’d be green with envy at these "zombies".

But perhaps, this was also the motive of the people behind the scenes in creating these vampires.

One of the reasons Fang Zheng could bear with gathering firewood here was because he had, after all, signed a contract with Hellsing. On the other hand, during this process, he discovered something—that all these vampires were artificially created!

Fang Zheng learned from Integra and Walter that the creation of vampires in this world was still very "orthodox," just as all the stories and fairy tales said: only virgins of both genders who were bitten by vampires could transform into "Blood Descendants" with free will, while those who had lost their purity would only become ghouls.

For example, the buxom but brainless policewoman, Seras, became Alucard’s Blood Descendant instead of a crawling, whimpering ghoul after being bitten by him, because she was a virgin.

However, in this string of vampire incidents, the criminals behind the scenes possessed the abilities of lesser vampires, but were clearly not created through "normal" methods. According to Hellsing’s investigation into these vampires, none of them were long-time survivors. Instead, they were all ordinary young people, and some of them even had abortion records — unless she was Maria, there was no way in hell she was a virgin.

Even those who did not meet the vampire transformation criteria had been turned into vampires, leading Hellsing to determine that there must be a hidden hand behind this string of vampire incidents, specifically responsible for artificially creating vampires. As for their purposes and motives, they were of course unclear at the moment. But if they continued to investigate, they were bound to make some gains.

This was also why Fang Zheng was patiently killing small fry here — after all, the game usually followed the process of killing small fry before battling the BOSS, and he was accustomed to it.

Now, Fang Zheng only hoped that the BOSS would show up soon and that it wouldn’t be a letdown.

"Hm?"

At that moment, Fang Zheng suddenly heard the gunfire upstairs cease, replaced instead by a shrill scream.

"MASTER!!!"

What the hell?

Hearing the scream, Fang Zheng was taken aback; he could obviously tell it was Seras’s voice, but why would she scream so miserably? The MASTER she mentioned was Alucard, right? What happened? Did that vampire come to an untimely end?

Damn it, what about my firewood!

With that thought in mind, Fang Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly rushed to the stairs, heading upstairs.

"""

As Fang Zheng climbed the stairs to the upper floor, the scene that greeted him made him pause in astonishment. The walls on both sides of the second-floor corridor were covered with paper sheets that resembled pages from books, and knives were inserted into these sheets. The papers were densely plastered all over the corridor, extending into the distance.

"What’s going on? Have those pesky flyers made their way to the United Kingdom?"

Facing the walls covered in what looked like flyers, Fang Zheng was at a loss for words, but just then, he caught a sound of someone running toward him.

"Mr. Fang Zheng!!"

Not far ahead of Fang Zheng, Seras was slowly making her way toward him, her police uniform covered in blood. Fang Zheng could even see a knife blade sticking out of her back! What was most shocking was that in the policewoman’s hands, Fang Zheng saw a severed head!

"What happened? Did things go sideways in the blink of an eye?"

Shocked by the scene, Fang Zheng couldn’t believe it—how could things have turned so dire with Alucard watching over the situation? This has to be a joke, right?

Although Fang Zheng couldn’t fathom what was happening, he quickly ran to the policewoman’s side and pulled the long knife from her back. And it was only when he looked at what was in Seras’s arms that he realized the head she was holding was Alucard’s?!

"........."

"Mr. Fang Zheng, this is bad. Suddenly, a priest appeared, and he was so powerful—he killed MASTER. I could only escape with MASTER’s head... Mr. Fang Zheng? What’s wrong with you?"

"........."

Fang Zheng wore a strange expression as he looked at Seras. After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Seras... What’s your relationship with Alucard?"

"Eh? Me and MASTER?"

The policewoman was equally baffled, staring at Fang Zheng blankly, not understanding why he would ask such a question.

"He’s my master... Is there a problem?"

"Sorry, for a moment there I thought you got fed up with Alucard and chopped off his head because you were planning on sailing away."

"... Huh?"

Facing Fang Zheng’s words, Seras didn’t know how to respond, while Fang Zheng waved his hand dismissively.

"Never mind, I’m talking nonsense. So, where is the guy who’s been troubling you?"

"He’s..."

"Oh?"

Before Seras could finish her sentence, a new sound cut through, drawing Fang Zheng’s attention.

"Where do you think you’re running off to, little girl?"

Accompanying the voice, two dazzling flashes of knife light appeared in the distance, after which a tall figure in a priest’s attire stepped forward. He spread his arms wide, each hand holding a long, sharp blade, and stared coldly at Seras.

"There’s nowhere for you to run. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; to the dust, you all belong, and to the earth, you shall return!"

"Leave it to me, Seras."

Facing the priest, Fang Zheng snorted, then raised his greatsword, pointing it at the priest.

"So it’s you who disrupted my hunt, Priest?" freёweɓnovel_com

"Oh?"

As the priest considered Fang Zheng, who was standing protectively in front of Seras, he paused, then cracked a savage smile.

"I see, so you’re the heretic taken in by Hellsing, as the rumors say. Heretics and apostates must die, and you’re no exception. When you die, your soul shall return to my Lord’s embrace. Are you prepared to go to Hell, Heretic?"

"Monotheism is always so arrogant."

Hearing the priest’s words, Fang Zheng also sneered.

"Gods? I’ve slain more gods than I can count. And yet you, with your grandiose faith, dare to spout such nonsense in front of me. I’ll see just how mighty this God you believe in is, and whether He’s worthy of being my firewood!"

"The blasphemer shall be condemned, for he fears nothing in his heart, and in the name of God, I shall let him witness Your Majesty..."

Looking at Fang Zheng, the priest’s expression became serious as he raised his long knives and crossed them in front of him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!!!!!!"
