Life is always full of surprises.
Like an unscripted improvisational play, you never know whether the next scene will be a monologue of your own or a group dance of all beings.
Just like Ji Yuan now.
He was just eating hotpot and singing at home when the house was suddenly smashed through.
Looking at the blood-red shadow being tossed around by Xiaobai on the first floor, and then at the dazzling night sky that could be seen just above, Ji Yuan fell into deep thought.
He had actually noticed the commotion outside long ago; he had seen Daredevil and Spider-Man chasing a vampire using his telekinesis.
It's not surprising that Spider-Man is investigating vampires; after all, the Heirs are vampires, so it's quite reasonable for Spider-Man to investigate them.
However, the native vampires on Earth and the vampires of the Heirs' families are not the same species.
The Heirs' family possesses a vampire totem, which strengthens them by absorbing the power of the totem and life energy. They should be considered a kind of alien life form, an energy predator that crosses the universe.
Earth's native vampires are different; they are supernatural beings originating from the evil god Cynthon, the creator of the Dark Book.
The first vampire progenitor, Varna, transformed himself into a vampire through a ritual in the Dark Book, thus giving rise to the vampire race. Vampires on Earth are a type of dark creature.
To determine which of these two types of vampires is stronger, we'd have to look at their respective comics.
After all, in some comics, vampires can even take down the entire Avengers.
However, the vampires in the universe that Ji Yuan lives in are not very good; they have many weaknesses.
Ji Yuan suddenly regretted not taking precautions earlier. He should have used his telekinesis to protect the house when Aunt Wang fired the gun.
After all, Aunt Wang is no ordinary person; when she makes a move, it's always earth-shattering. It was only when Ji Yuan asked Jarvis to protect the safety of Aunt Wang's supermarket that he realized how deep Aunt Wang's secrets were.
Her supermarket had an entire armory underneath, with all sorts of weapons, from pistols to RPGs, from grenades to TNT, and some strange weapons that Ji Yuan didn't recognize.
He guessed that Aunt Wang might be a member of some mysterious organization, but he didn't care about that and didn't investigate. As long as he could sell vegetables to himself, nothing else mattered.
After all, Ji Yuan himself has multiple identities. On the surface, he is a psychologist, but in reality, he is a fake magician, and finally, he is just a passing Ultraman.
"Hey, it's you!"
While Ji Yuan was distracted, Spider-Man and Daredevil were already standing at the "skylight".
Despite a nameless fear in their hearts, Peter and Daredevil still came down to check the situation.
Peter didn't hold back his punch, fearing he might hurt innocent bystanders. But when he came down and looked at the homeowner, he was stunned. Wasn't this the mysterious Chinese man who had helped him and left a few words before?
Before he could speak again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. It turned out that Daredevil had tapped him. Peter then realized that he was Spider-Man, not Peter, and that speaking now would be revealing his identity.
Daredevil secretly rubbed his forehead, making a firm decision in his heart that the training intensity for Spider-Man must be increased to another level. It was bad enough that he couldn't control the power of the Growth Path, but he also managed to expose his identity.
Ji Yuan looked up and waved, and Daredevil and Spider-Man obediently came down, without even realizing how much they trusted Ji Yuan.
When the two of them came down, they saw a scene that shocked them to their core.
A cloak is actually beating up a vampire!
"What...what is this?" Peter stammered.
Daredevil was equally bewildered. Although he couldn't see, his radar could project a three-dimensional image of objects into his mind. At that moment, a strange image appeared in his mind: a rectangular strip of cloth beating the target they were chasing.
"Tie him up, Xiaobai," Ji Yuan ordered Xiaobai, ignoring Peter's question.
As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of light appeared from the corners of Xiaobai's cloak, completely trapping the vampire.
"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me." Stepping down the half-broken staircase, Ji Yuan descended to the first floor.
Peter and Matt exchanged a glance and quickly followed. They didn't know why they had an inexplicable trust in the person in front of them.
Upon reaching the second floor and sensing the surrounding environment, Matt was startled. He remembered that this was the alley where Ultraman had saved him before.
Could it be that this homeowner, whom he inexplicably trusts, has some connection with Ultraman?
Ji Yuan led Spider-Man and Daredevil to the basement.
This is the basement dug by the previous owner, who was said to be a weapons dealer. He was later killed in a revenge killing because he sold some inferior firearms that led to the death of a gang leader in Hell's Kitchen.
That's why the house became vacant and was rented by Ji Yuan.
"You seem to know me?" Matt asked, seeing that Ji Yuan seemed to know them very well.
"Of course, the infamous Daredevil from Hell's Kitchen, or lawyer Matt," Ji Yuan said.
Matt was shocked. He thought he had hidden his identity very well, and he didn't know how his true identity had been discovered.
"How did you know?" Matt asked.
"How would I know?" Ji Yuan smiled. "Appearances are just skin deep. I look at the heart. Your tight-fitting clothes can't hide my eyes."
Ji Yuan decided to keep Matt in suspense for now, so he could observe him later, and also ask what he had always wanted to say: Doesn't Daredevil's bodysuit really hurt his balls?
Matt was a little confused. Ji Yuan's statement was mysterious, and most importantly, he actually said that his bodysuit was tight around his testicles. Well, it did make a difference.
Seeing Daredevil's bewildered expression, Ji Yuan smiled knowingly and then looked at Spider-Man: "Peter, your uniform needs an update. This uniform doesn't look like Spider-Man's at all."
Peter scratched his mask, looking somewhat embarrassed. He said, "Okay, sir, I'll change it next time. By the way, I'm sorry for damaging your house. I'll definitely make money to compensate you. And thank you for helping me last time, otherwise Thompson would definitely not have let me off the hook."
Ji Yuan shook his head, thinking that Little Spider was really naive, then smiled and said, "No need to pay for it, someone will repair it for me for free."
Upon hearing this, Peter breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to pay for such a big house even if he sold himself.
"Alright, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ji Yuan, a psychologist, or, a magician." Ji Yuan introduced himself.
Magician?
These three words immediately changed their expressions. There really were magicians in the world? But the flying cloak was a fact.
"Mr. Ji Yuan, can your magic cure Mr. Matt's eyes?" Peter blurted out.
Ji Yuan nodded and said, "That's possible, but Mr. Matt might not be willing."
