Chapter 24
The Will to Fight

As for Red, he was also lost in thought after Johnny Stone's words.

He had indeed gained enough power to resist those monsters, but not enough to defeat them.

Unless...he could evolve further.

This thought flashed through Red's mind, and he recalled the vision the belt had shown him.

It was a warrior standing alone in an ancient relic, with fully extended golden horns, crimson eyes...and crimson armor covering his entire body.

If he could transform into that form, perhaps he wouldn't lose to the bat monster.

With this thought, Red unknowingly left the hospital and started walking towards the hotel where he was temporarily staying.

...

"You're so slow, Red." Gwen, who had been waiting for a long time in the main lobby of the hotel, couldn't help but complain when she saw Red return: "Where did you go again? You haven't been back all night."

"Nothing." Red shook his head and replied with a low voice, "I was just thinking about the Red Warrior."

"The Red Warrior?"

"Yes." Red nodded lightly, then sat down beside Gwen and said in a low voice, "In the visions I've seen, the warrior is clad in crimson armor, but my transformation form is pure white."

"So, I'm wondering if it's because my will isn't strong enough that I haven't reached that form."

"I didn't expect you, Red, to actually doubt your own willpower." Gwen Stacy raised an eyebrow unconsciously, her tone especially surprised.

"Of course there will be times, like the first time I transformed..."

As he spoke, Red pursed his lips and looked at his hands with a complicated expression, as if he were resisting something.

"It seems this young man named Red is quite reluctant to fight."

By the Washington Monument's pool, Sam Wilson, nicknamed Falcon, looked at Red's struggling expression on the screen and couldn't help but exclaim with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"For some people who are inherently kind and gentle, this is a normal reaction."

Unlike Sam's surprise.

Steve's gaze towards the screen turned into admiration.

However, he also knew that simple kindness alone couldn't help the young man named Red deal with these murderous monsters.

So, his gaze towards the screen gradually shifted from admiration to concern.

......

【On the screen.

After a brief silence, Red.

Finally noticed that Gwen had changed into a black long dress at some point.

It turned out that today was the funeral of Professor Jimmy, one of the victims of the Adirondack Mountains relic.

Recalling this, Red no longer remained silent and simply accompanied Gwen Stacy to Greenwood Cemetery to attend the funeral.

And it was on this trip that he met the victim's daughter, who was currently squatting in front of the stone gate of Greenwood Cemetery, silently sobbing.

Her crystal-clear tears flowed from her eyes, dripping down her cheeks onto the ground.

She cried so sadly, so painfully.

Seeing all this, Red, for the first time in his life, felt his own helplessness and weakness.

But at the same time, he seemed to have found something he was lacking in the past!

For example, the meaning of fighting!!

"Bang!!"

A loud bang, Red's right fist slammed heavily against the hard wall beside him, leaving a clear fist mark.

Then, he turned around and straddled his white motorcycle, with a pair of eyes that were angry enough to burn everything, twisted the throttle and sped away on the deserted street.

Although the screen did not explicitly state Red's purpose in driving away at this time.

But all the viewers, at this moment, immediately realized that Red's only purpose for this trip was to completely eliminate the Gurongi monsters who were harming others.

Realizing this.

The audience's hearts seemed to be infected by Red's actions.

They felt a surge of blood rushing through their chests, and their eyes looking at the screen became even more expectant.

......

【"Hello, are you Mr. Rooney?"

At the same time, in order to find the bat monster, Johnny Stone came to a tavern with a slightly rough style and found the drunkard mentioned by Sidis, the police officer, and asked.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Perhaps because he had just been drinking, Rooney's consciousness seemed a little confused.

He replied vaguely, and then turned his head again, picked up the large goblet on the counter and drank a large gulp, completely like an old drunkard.

"My name is Johnny Stone, and I'm the chief of the Brooklyn Precinct."

Making sure he hadn't found the wrong person, Johnny Stone immediately sat down beside him and said, "I came to see you today to talk to you about the vampire monster attacks."

"Oh! You believe me!?"

Hearing the police come to find him, Rooney immediately showed a surprised expression on his face, apparently also surprised that there were really police who would believe what he said.

"Yes, there have been many homicides recently in this area, and I think your experience might help our police find some different clues."

"That's right...okay!"

"I'm in the mood for drinking, so let me tell you about some of the bad things I experienced last night!"

Hearing Johnny Stone's reply, Rooney became interested and immediately told the police about the events that happened last night.

While listening to his story, Johnny Stone quickly caught the most important information from Rooney's words.

"Mr. Rooney, you mean...you saw the vampire monster fly into the church?"

"Yes."

Rooney nodded and replied, "It's the one in Greenwich Village, the Catholic Church."

"That's it, thank you, Mr. Rooney!"

Having obtained the information he wanted, Johnny Stone immediately bid farewell to Mr. Rooney, and then drove his police car to the outside of the Catholic Church.
