A few days later, a classic-looking black Lexus departed from Wall Street, heading towards Queens.
"Did Eric really say that? He refuses to share internal Vampire intelligence unless he sees me, his 'boss'?" Inside the black car, Mike, sitting in the back, questioned the girl beside him.
One could tell his tone carried a hint of displeasure.
"Yes, Agent E means he will only consider cooperating with us after meeting you in person," Tina confirmed Mike's statement.
Agent E, whose real name is Eric Brooks, is the legendary Vampire nemesis, Blade.
His unfortunate childhood experiences made him distrustful of everyone, resulting in a stubborn and eccentric personality.
Interacting with such a person could be very uncomfortable.
Although Mike had mentally prepared himself, the other party's "arrogance" still made him slightly uncomfortable when it came to it.
After all, fundamentally, Mike's current operation targeting Vampires was providing a safety net for the other party. Or, to put it bluntly, he was helping them.
Who in the organization didn't know that Blade and Vampires were already locked in a death feud?
Yes, as Eric relentlessly struck at Vampires, he successfully became their number one mortal enemy.
"Fine, we'll meet sooner or later, so meeting today isn't out of the question." Given that Blade's actions indirectly helped humanity, Mike was willing to show a magnanimous side.
Otherwise, with the other party's unilaterally aggressive proposal of a meeting time and self-appointed meeting location—a rude behavior—Mike would have certainly argued with him.
"Before we meet, tell me what information you've gathered about him," Mike continued.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is a good habit.
"Agent E's modus operandi is very high-profile; you don't need to deliberately investigate, just a little attention will reveal his whereabouts..." Tina had clearly done her homework privately and replied, "To give you a recent example, Agent E raided an underground dance hall where Vampires gathered a week ago. A day later, he harassed a public hospital in Queens while tracking Vampires."
"According to reports, the two places Agent E visited suffered very severe damage..."
Needless to say, this was precisely the fighting style of Blade. His extreme hatred for Vampires made him somewhat unscrupulous in dealing with them, and also somewhat reckless.
He seemed to have never considered how much impact his actions would have on social stability.
This put pressure on the MIB. Heaven knows how many hairs the poor clerical staff in the organization would lose trying to clean up after the "carefree" Blade.
However, the clerical team's efforts were not entirely meaningless. Through their hard work, by the time the news reached the public, it would likely just be two gas pipeline leaks.
No gore, no violence, no slaughter, no muscular man rampaging through a hospital.
See? God bless America! It's another peaceful day—
"By the way, are all you agents 'Mr. Big Scene' when you work?" Through comparison, Tina voiced the confusion in her heart.
After all, the last time Mike handled the Green-Faced Monster incident, the commotion was also considerable.
As an eyewitness, Tina had a lot to say; the scene of bullets flying everywhere was like rain—a bullet rain.
"Hmm, don't mind those details. The organization's goal is to maintain world peace!" Not wanting to be outdone, Mike, also an agent, found a grand reason for himself.
After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too!
You can't want everything and expect to satisfy everyone.
That's why they say: being a superhero saving the world is not an easy job.
...
At the same time, Agent J and Agent K, burdened with the crucial task of retrieving the Arquilian Galaxy, finally found a clue to their mission after more than ten days of investigation.
They learned from Frank, a talking alien dog, that the "Arquilian Galaxy" the Arquillians referred to was not a Arquilian Galaxy in outer space, but rather a highly dangerous compressed energy source.
Because its energy was sufficient to launch a planet-destroying war, it was named "Arquilian Galaxy."
Moreover, Frank, the alien dog, speculated that given the Arquillians' frail physique, the energy source called "Arquilian Galaxy" would not be too large or too heavy.
Upon receiving this information, the two agents immediately went to the house where the Arquillian Prince had stayed for his vacation on Earth, to see if there were any clues.
It was there that Agent J saw a photograph of the Arquillian Prince taken before his death. In the photo, the Prince was holding a cute cat in his arms.
This cat, named "Orion," had a dazzling "glass sphere" hanging around its neck.
'The Arquilian Galaxy is carried on the Orion belt.' This was the message left by the Arquillian Prince during his brief moment of clarity before death.
At this moment, the two agents realized that the beautiful "glass sphere" was very likely the Arquilian Galaxy they were looking for.
Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to continue searching for clues about the cat named "Orion."
The Bug Warrior, who had previously ambushed and killed the Arquillian Prince, also arrived here.
The purpose of this Bug Warrior killing the Arquillian Prince was to seize the Arquilian Galaxy from him, and then return to help its planet launch a war against Arquillia.
It was just that it, like Agents J and K before, had fallen into a mental trap and had not realized that the "glass sphere" around the cat's neck would be the immensely destructive Arquilian Galaxy.
Of course, now it was clear.
The Bug Warrior, through Agents J and K's deciphering, also learned the true nature of the Arquilian Galaxy.
This was not good news.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Agent K immediately pulled out a plasma cannon and attacked the Bug Warrior, intending to capture it.
Subsequently, Agent J also reluctantly pulled out a mini-gun no bigger than his palm, a "Noisy Cricket," and attacked the Bug Warrior.
Noisy Cricket: The latest super-powerful ion weapon developed by the MIB research team. Despite its small size, its power is several times greater than that of the giant Tri-Barrel Pulsar Blaster.
It was clear, however, that Agent J, who disliked studying, was unaware of this.
When weapons were distributed earlier, he had thought Agent K was bullying the newcomer, which was why he had given him this little "trash."
Agent J, who pursued him into the street, pulled the trigger of the "Noisy Cricket" without being fully prepared, and a thunderous roar erupted in his ears.
The powerful recoil propelled him several meters backward, causing him to land heavily on the hood of a car parked behind him. The trajectory of the launched ion wave naturally veered off course, missing the Bug Warrior who was driving a semi-truck and attempting to escape.
Seeing the Bug Warrior about to escape, Agent J, ignoring the pain in his waist, got up and pulled the trigger of the "Noisy Cricket" again.
This time, with sufficient preparation, although he was once again propelled backward by the mini-gun's recoil, his aim significantly improved.
After a chaotic battle, although the Bug Warrior managed to drive away, it left behind the semi-trailer's cargo compartment and the Insect Race alien saucer hidden inside.
...
Now, Agents J and K, through analysis, arrived at Seventh Avenue, not far from Wall Street.
The Arquillian Prince's remains were housed in a hospital here, and his pet cat was likely there as well.
To ensure Earth was not threatened by the Arquillians, Agents J and K had to find the cat and the Arquilian Galaxy around its neck before the Bug Warrior did.
"Hello, beautiful. We're looking for a cat whose owner was brought here a while ago..." Agent J, upon entering the hospital morgue, spoke to the beautiful forensic doctor, Laurel Weaver, a step ahead of his partner.
Agents J and K had met this beautiful forensic doctor named Laurel twice before when investigating the alien prince's cause of death.
Agent J had even developed a slight flirtation with this forensic doctor.
It was just unfortunate that on both occasions, Agent K had routinely used the memory wiper to erase Laurel's memories of the aliens.
Naturally, the woman's mind also lost all memory of Agents J and K.
"You're looking for something? Perhaps it's here; why don't you come and see for yourself..." The short-haired female forensic doctor, standing behind a simple stretcher bed, said, gesturing with a stiff expression for Agent J to look beneath her.
At this moment, in the shadows beneath the stretcher bed, the Bug Warrior, disguised in human skin, had arrived a step ahead of Agents J and K and was holding the female forensic doctor hostage.
Agent J, unaware of this, already had a crush on the beautiful female forensic doctor. Now, seeing her "flirt" with him, he instantly became infatuated.
Feeling good about himself, he offered a gentlemanly smile and said, feigning reservation, "Isn't this a bit too much? Isn't the pace a little too fast? Although I know my charm is immense, we could actually go for coffee first..."
Beneath the stretcher bed, the human skin worn by the Bug Warrior had been on for over half a month, and its decay had made it no longer fit.
Being grabbed by the ankle by such a monster in human skin, even though forensic doctor Laurel often dealt with corpses, she now felt a chill down her spine.
All she wanted now was to quickly escape the "monster's" grasp.
"What you're looking for is right here; you'll see it if you come over..." Laurel's tone became urgent, and her gaze pointed directly at the stretcher bed below.
At this, even if Agent J was lust-struck, he realized the atmosphere was off.
Old K, standing by, had already reached for the Noisy Cricket 4 pistol in his holster a step ahead.
Meow—
At the tense moment, a cute brown and yellow cat elegantly leaped from the resting area behind onto the stretcher bed in front of the female forensic doctor.
The Arquilian Galaxy.
The "glass sphere" with a brilliant glow inside was conspicuously hanging around the kitten's neck.
Agents J and K, seeing their target, were startled and about to act.
Just then, a pale, flaccid large hand suddenly reached out from beneath the stretcher bed and quickly grabbed the cat and the Arquilian Galaxy.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill this woman—" Facing two Noisy Cricket 4s, the Bug Warrior's human skin mask bore a malicious smile, one hand holding the kitten, and the other choking the female forensic doctor from behind.
"Bug Warrior! Let go of Laurel—" His goddess being captured in front of him made Agent J lose face and feel extremely angry.
"Calm down—" The more experienced Agent K stopped Agent J. Then, staring at the brazen Bug Warrior, he stalled for time, saying, "Please don't harm the hostage. We can discuss what you want..."
"You're very clever..." The Bug Warrior didn't linger, slowly moving towards the morgue window, holding forensic doctor Laurel against it: "I have no intention of being an enemy to Earth. I will leave once I complete my mission—"
Before leaving, the Bug Warrior stated its position: as long as the MIB did not act against it, it would quietly leave Earth after acquiring the Arquilian Galaxy.
One could say this Bug Warrior's thoughts were quite fanciful. It had already violated the "Interstellar Security Regulations" to achieve its goal, and now that its objective was met, it hoped to maintain peace with Earth.
However, it probably didn't realize that its plan to attack the Arquillian Prince on Earth, seize the Arquilian Galaxy, and then take the Arquilian Galaxy back to its home planet to launch a war against Arquillia, had already dragged Earth into the vortex of interstellar war.
