"Will this really work? Won't it provoke a counterattack and cause even greater casualties?" Steve asked with a skeptical expression.
Ji Yuan said confidently, "Don't worry, some people have already made preparations, but under pressure from all sides, they have no choice but to hold back."
"Once the truth about vampires is truly revealed, and the government forces the people to officially start a war, the vampires won't even have time to react, let alone retaliate."
A glint of intelligence flashed in Steve's eyes. After a moment's thought, he said, "Let's do it! The sooner the better."
After being persuaded by Ji Yuan, Steve decided to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. and use his superb acting skills to gain the trust of the people above him.
Three days later, Ji Yuan, who was idly sitting in the clinic, received a call from Steve.
"Doctor, there will be a press conference at noon today to announce Captain America's return. Just as you thought, those people need a role model to attract attention, and they can't suppress the news online anymore."
"Very good, the operation shall officially begin."
Ji Yuan hung up the phone and had Jarvis send a message to Stark.
"Mr. Stark, Mr. Ji Yuan has informed you that we can begin deploying the anti-vampire robots," Jarvis's voice rang out in the laboratory.
Stark, who was focused on building the latest generation of Jaeger, suddenly froze. He said, "How did Ji Yuan know I was building an anti-vampire robot? Jarvis, did you tell him?"
"It's not Mr. Ji Yuan. His message said he understands you very well and knows what you want to do."
"Oh, this damn mind-reading technology. One day I'll build an anti-mind-reading mech."
Stark only feigned anger before saying, "Jarvis, start all production lines making anti-vampire robots. I'm going to blast these vampires to smithereens."
"Yes, sir."
Under Jarvis's extreme control, Stark's fully automated factory assembly line began assembling anti-vampire robots.
These robots are equipped with vampire detection systems, ultraviolet lights, and silver weapon firing systems, and are controlled by Jarvis using a matrix.
The cost isn't high, and the technology isn't advanced, but its advantage lies in its efficiency. When it comes to manufacturing weapons, Stark excels at maximizing effectiveness with minimal cost.
Time flew by and it was noon.
New York City Hall.
Reporters from various newspapers, including the Globe and the Daily Bugle, surrounded the city hall, each with their own inside information and eager to get firsthand photos.
Cameras of all sizes were set up in the city hall, and the live broadcast footage was simultaneously transmitted to various television stations.
Amidst the attention of the crowd, a tall man wearing a gray-blue bodysuit, a mask with the letter A on his head, and a five-pointed star shield on his back walked onto the stage.
The live broadcast caused some World War II veterans who were watching TV to suddenly stand up. This outfit had been a constant presence in their wartime memories and a symbol of their hopes during the war.
Captain America stood on the podium and delivered a lengthy speech based on his prepared remarks.
After a series of rambling ramblings about how he returned, Captain America put down his script, removed his mask, looked at the camera, and said with a solemn and determined expression, "I am Steve Rogers, I am Captain America, and I am back!"
Everyone in the city hall stood up. They couldn't believe it; they couldn't believe Captain America was still alive. He was a living legend.
Captain America, on the other hand, struck while the iron was hot.
"I stand here today not only to announce my return, but also to fulfill an urgent responsibility."
The S.H.I.E.L.D. members and government officials present suddenly had a bad feeling; this was not something that should happen in an exercise.
"In the past, we have discovered a new type of paranormal threat that lurks in the shadows and feeds on humans."
"It sounds like a legend, but they are real and have caused countless injuries. They are vampires."
"Oh shit! Cut off the live stream right now, we can't let this get discovered!" The government members frantically tried to take action, only to find that they had lost control.
Captain America on the podium waved his hand, and countless video evidences about vampires appeared on the large screen behind him, while much more evidence was transmitted to the reporter's equipment.
But that's not all, there's more to come.
"Wuhu~ Spider-Man, attack!"
Spider-Man, dressed in a red and blue bodysuit, falls from the ceiling, carrying a cage covered by a black cloth.
Seeing Captain America's serious expression, Spider-Man shrank back, handed the cage to him, and quickly swung away on his web. The reporter's camera only captured his hurried back.
Captain America picked up the cage covered by a black cloth and continued, "There's a real vampire inside."
Before reporters from major newspapers could even recover from the crystal-clear video evidence, they immediately turned their cameras back to the cage. This was probably the most explosive report of our time.
Amidst the intense anticipation and live streaming on multiple platforms, Captain America lifted a corner of the veil, revealing a pale-skinned vampire with fangs and a disgusting mouthpart protruding from its mouth.
The darkness was completely lifted, and under the sunlight, the vampire turned to ashes and scattered.
This scene spread wildly online. It wasn't a video, but a live stream, and they even captured a real vampire to demonstrate it. It was even confirmed by Captain America, who is the most popular character among the public.
The matter is settled; the vampire is now officially confirmed.
In a S.H.I.E.L.D. branch office, one-eyed Fury looked pale. He had been deceived and was now being made a scapegoat for Captain America.
But things had come to this point, and action was the only option. He picked up the phone and gave the order: "Execute Plan B, the virus eradication plan!"
Meanwhile, at Stark Tower, Stark spat out the water he had just drunk, exclaiming in shock, "This guy is Captain America, and he really is an old friend of my father's!"
He was determined to stay away from this super-strong captain from now on; he didn't want to get beaten up.
The machines roared, and the anti-vampire robots at Stark's factory officially went into operation.
Ji Yuan, who was watching TV in the clinic, smiled.
This is his plan B. Since Captain America no longer trusts the government, why waste words? Just do it through a press conference.
Because of Jarvis, Eddie's online posts couldn't be blocked and spread wider and wider. At this time, Captain America's announcement of his return will definitely suppress the vampire news.
But no one expected that Captain America would directly reveal the existence of vampires at a press conference. Under such a high-profile live broadcast, no one could suppress it.
The battle against the vampires can only officially begin now.
During this comeback press conference, Steve received a lot of positive emotions, which is a testament to Captain America's popularity.
Ji Yuan also received a lot of positive emotions; on the screen, familiar words shone brightly.
