Chapter 2923 When Night Falls (Forty-one)
Jenna shook her head. She was not the kind of person who liked myths very much. She was more interested in pop music and comics. Her brother liked stereos and motorcycles. The concept of vampires was basically still at the stage of villains in video games.
But she soon realized what the question referred to. After thinking for a while, she said, "Do you think those legends are not just legends, but some of them are true?"
Jenna immediately went through all the information about vampires in her memory, but she really didn't know much and didn't have much useful information.
She wanted to ask Batman for help, but she thought Batman should be very busy now, so she sent a text message to Cyborg, asking him to send all the information about vampires he could find, even if it was folk rumors, as long as it was related to vampires, she wanted it.
Cyborg was very good at collecting information. A few minutes later, he sent a lot of things, and they were all sorted out.
Aquaman was actually a little curious about why Jenna was absent-minded all the way, but seeing Zan's silence, he thought that the brother and sister must have encountered something, so he didn't bother them.
In the interval of thinking, Jenna also found that everyone in the Justice League was very tolerant of the two of them. Batman didn't pursue what happened to Zan, Superman was curious but didn't ask, and Wonder Woman comforted herself before leaving.
She was supposed to act as a messenger and security guard when she returned to Atlantis with Aquaman, but she was absent-minded the whole time, and Aquaman didn't say anything.
Jenna was actually a little dissatisfied because she and her brother were insignificant in the Justice League and always did some small errands, such as this time, because they walked on the seabed all the way, there was basically no danger, Batman asked them to protect Aquaman, which was actually just to find something for them to do.
But now she thinks this is also good. They are not perfect colleagues, but close to perfect family.
Because she was too worried about her brother, Jenna's brain was fully fired up. She quickly browsed all the information and grasped the key almost instantly.
Pure-blooded nobles? Do vampires also have a pure-blood dispute?
Jenna saw this concept in the synopsis of a vampire romance novel.
The male protagonist of this novel is a third-generation vampire, and the female protagonist is a young vampire who was bitten accidentally and has been carefully hiding her identity.
Then, as expected, all vampires are very opposed to this marriage, on the grounds that if they get married and have offspring, the impure blood in the female protagonist's body will cause the offspring's power to decrease.
Jenna doesn't have the patience to read the bloody story behind it. She instinctively feels that this bloodline legend has some basis.
Modern humans have realized the disadvantages of close-kin marriage. Almost all countries have laws prohibiting close-kin marriage, especially prohibiting marriage between brothers and sisters, because the children born in this case are very likely to have defects.
But if vampires are divided by the richness of their blood, then the closer the marriage, the thicker the blood, the stronger it is, right?
Then if the offspring are transformed through the ritual of the first embrace, will the offspring of the vampire with a thicker blood be stronger?
Jenna felt that her speculation made sense.
Then combined with the theory of soul pollution, could it be that the more intense the blood of a vampire, the more evil the offspring will be?
Jenna always felt that something was wrong.
Jenna's understanding of evil was somewhat different from that of others, because she felt that any extreme good or evil meant irrationality, and irrationality was roughly equivalent to lowering intelligence.
For example, an extremely kind person could not bear to see anyone suffer at all. As long as someone showed pity, he could not help but give him all his things. Wouldn't such a person be easily deceived?
The same is true for evil. When Jenna realized that the inner ghost was actually the Flash, she thought that the Flash actually had many more efficient ways to be the inner ghost. Not to say that he would never be discovered, but at least he could delay it for a longer time.
If Hal hadn't become so miserable, everyone might have had to spend at least two or three more days there. In Jenna's view, the Flash's actions against Green Lantern were definitely intentional. He just wanted to torture Green Lantern on purpose.
It was this evil thought that made him irrational and unable to be the inner ghost with the highest efficiency.
Assuming that the purer the bloodline of a vampire, the more evil it is, then wouldn't the higher the level of a vampire, the lower its IQ? Then what's the point of developing this race?
Jenna couldn't believe the conclusion she had deduced. If that was the case, wouldn't the king of vampires be the biggest idiot in the world?
If that was the case, the reason why the soul of the stranger in front of him was so rational might be because the one who bit him was not a high-level vampire.
Or there is another possibility. Jenna thought of another legend, that is, the more generations of vampires there are, the weaker their power is. For example, the fourth generation is much weaker than the third generation, and the fifth generation is weaker than the fourth generation.
This is actually quite scientific. If each generation is stronger than the previous one, the universe would have been destroyed because of their entropy increase.
Jenna speculated that the so-called first embrace ritual can only give the next generation of vampires a limited power, so there will be a situation where each generation is inferior to the previous one.
If the pollution of her brother's soul is more serious, it means that he may have been bitten by an older vampire, and the stranger is fine, maybe because the vampire who bit him is younger.
Seeing Jenna's expression, Schiller knew that she might have guessed part of the truth.
After coming to this world, Moonlight Schiller witnessed a vampire attack. The vampires premeditatedly attacked Zatanna, and the leader embraced Zatanna for the first time.
However, the result was not unexpected. Several vampires were killed by Schiller. Zatanna, who had just been transformed into a vampire, was chased by Schiller all the way and finally ran to Constantine.
Schiller keenly discovered that there were obvious differences between the vampires he killed. Some of them looked no different from humans. After being chopped by him, they still knew to run, but some were very crazy. The more seriously injured they were, the more they looked like a madman.
Then in theory, those who look more normal are the strong ones, but in fact, the opposite is true. Those who look more normal are weaker, while those who are crazy can use all kinds of fancy magic.
At that time, Schiller realized that although they were all vampires, there were differences between them. The stronger the power, the less brain they had, and the more brain they had, the less power they had.
Schiller didn't know how this race developed into this, but so far, he had not found any vampire who was both civil and military.
For example, Zatanna was always sober. When she found that she couldn't do anything to Schiller, she ran away quickly and ran to Constantine familiarly, instead of having to fight Schiller on the spot.
But vampire magic didn't seem to bring her much benefit. The power she gained was the kind that it took several seconds to turn into a bat and run away. Not only did it not make her stronger, but the weakness of vampires fearing sunlight and the holy artifact made her unable to use the anti-speech magic properly.
On the other hand, the Flash seemed to have gained more benefits from the vampire bloodline. At least he could deal with Hal the Green Lantern in the Speed Force, which was enough to prove that he was stronger than before.
But his brain seemed to be insufficient. What kind of amazing wisdom made him think that he could torture Green Lantern first and then threaten Batman?
Vampires are simply blocking their own evolutionary route at both ends. The purer the bloodline, the lower the IQ, and the more mixed the bloodline, the higher the IQ. How can they play this way?
And Constantine and Schiller have actually begun to study why this is the case.
Their plan went smoothly. After the disaster of the Flash's invasion broke out in the past timeline, some vampires immediately realized that if they did not stop the Flash, they would either be killed in the past or starved to death in the present.
In the Arkham Asylum headed by the Penguin, the bitten madman came to Constantine and asked him to find a way to solve the disaster in the past. Constantine also took this opportunity to contact more vampires and discovered the differences between individual vampires like Schiller.
It's just that he knows more of the truth, so he can naturally speculate how this evolutionary route that reverses the Tiangang was developed.
It still has to start with Mary's amazing plan.
From Mary's perspective, her plan may not be a problem, but she forgot one very important thing - she is a human.
Mary is a vampire, but she is also a human. She is not an ancient relic like Dracula. She is a human who has contracted the source of blood magic. Although she has become a vampire, she has human blood flowing in her body. Otherwise, how can she reproduce like a human?
The child she gave birth to by marrying the third generation also has human blood in his body, and if the two of them marry again, it is equivalent to two close relatives marrying.
Human close relatives marry only have IQ or limb defects because the human body potential is limited here. This group of vampires is different. They have powerful energy in their bodies, and the blood defects brought by close relatives marrying will be more obvious in them. This is the source of the blood-sucking monster that mastered four kinds of magic.
But before the eldest prince and the second princess were killed, they had left many descendants, and these descendants have developed more descendants over the years, which means that most of the current vampires have blood defects caused by close relatives marrying.
Moreover, the closer the bloodline is to the eldest prince and the second princess, the more obvious the bloodline defect is. A large part of the current vampires have this defective bloodline. It would be strange if there is no problem.
Constantine was amused by this result. He felt that they didn't need to make such a complicated plan. If they just let it go, the vampires would eventually exterminate themselves.
