In the laboratory, a virtual projection displayed Blade's gene model.
Unlike a normal double-helix structure, Blade's gene model had a net-like gene structure on its periphery, which were the gene fragments of the Vampire virus.
These gene fragments enveloped Blade's own genes, as if protecting the genes within.
This gene structure granted Blade the strength of a Vampire and also gave him a certain resistance when facing ultraviolet light.
Because his genetic core was still human, not a single bit had been invaded by the Vampire virus.
Although Blade didn't understand scientific experiments, he knew that the gene model projected now was different from that of a normal person, so he asked:
"Is this my gene model? What have you found in it?"
Andy smiled and changed the form of the gene model, and three gene models appeared before Blade.
"These are three gene models, belonging to a normal human, you, and a Vampire, respectively."
He then zoomed in on the human gene model and explained: "Normal human genes have a double-helix structure. Their traits correspond one-to-one, making them a relatively stable and the most common type."
Next, he zoomed in on the Vampire gene model.
"Vampire genes are quite unique; they are not entirely inherited.
Other gene fragments are interspersed within the normal double-helix structure, making Vampire genes look more like a virus.
Because these gene fragments are completely embedded in the genes, the Vampire has inherited its weakness to ultraviolet light."
Finally, he zoomed in on Blade's gene model.
This time, Blade didn't even need Andy to explain; he could see the uniqueness of his own genes.
His genes were not as orderly as human genes, nor as messy as Vampire genes; his genes had two layers, with the outer genes enveloping the inner double-helix structure.
Now, his genes were like a spiraling staircase with an outer wall built to protect the staircase.
"Is this why I can be a Daywalker?"
After understanding his situation, Blade seemed a little surprised. He had always thought that even though he was a half-Vampire, he might be a bit different, but not to such a great extent.
But this gene model was clearly abnormal; the two types of genes in him had almost no connection.
Andy nodded, indicating that Blade's guess was correct, but he wanted to see how Blade's genes reacted to ultraviolet light.
Even if the two genes coexisted peacefully, it was impossible to ignore their flaws.
Operating the instrument in his hand, a light rich in ultraviolet rays shone on a slide carrying Blade's blood, and the virtual projection displayed the changes before the two of them.
The moment the ultraviolet light touched the blood, Blade's genes changed.
The Vampire genes and human genes reversed; the outer net-like gene fragments, upon encountering ultraviolet light, contracted inwards towards the double-helix structure.
The human genes became a protective umbrella for the Vampire genes, blocking the ultraviolet radiation, while the already contracted Vampire genes, in turn, began to transform into human genes.
These Vampire genes transforming into human genes did not fully convert but retained some of their original abilities.
Seeing this, Andy immediately understood how Daywalkers appeared: the Vampire genes in a Daywalker's body constantly collapsed due to ultraviolet light.
However, a portion of the genes would always transform into human genes and survive, and this transformed portion of human genes was the key to becoming a Daywalker.
Perhaps someone in New York discovered this effect and used it to create an item that could transform Vampires.
Such a thing, capable of transforming Vampires into Daywalkers, would inevitably attract the attention of Vampires.
Because the greatest dream of Vampires is to live in sunlight; this is every Vampire's dream and a weakness they must overcome.
And Blade also saw the issue with his own genes. Although he was a half-Vampire, he was definitely different from a Vampire.
No Vampire like him could naturally survive in sunlight, but his uniqueness also meant that Vampires could become like him.
As long as the key factors for gene transformation are found, Vampires could transform their genes and become Daywalkers, living in sunlight.
"Blade, do you know of any other Daywalkers? Perhaps those Daywalkers have already been captured and used as experimental subjects."
Hearing Andy's speculation, Blade's face changed drastically. He knew that Andy's words were not alarmist but genuinely possible.
Vampires are a group of selfish creatures; it would be too normal for them to do such things.
To sacrifice a few unimportant people for their own benefit, let alone Vampires, even humans would have some who would do it.
"I know about Daywalkers because my foster father, my partner, told me. I've never seen any other Daywalkers myself.
My foster father has been a Vampire hunter his whole life; he might know more."
Blade said with a frown and a solemn expression.
"I need to go back and ask him about Daywalkers. Having been a Vampire hunter for so many years, he should have his own specialized intelligence network, which should give me answers."
Andy also nodded in agreement; this matter indeed needed to be investigated thoroughly.
If Vampires were expanding due to a large population, that would be one thing, but if they came to New York to transform themselves into Daywalkers, then the problem would be much bigger.
Even if these Vampires, who treat humans as blood food, become Daywalkers, they will still view humans as food.
Moreover, their inherent strength is greater than humans, and their recovery ability should not be underestimated.
Most importantly, the thing humans crave most is in the hands of Vampires: Eternity.
Countless people flock to eternal life, willing to give everything for it, and these people will also become allies for Vampires.
If this problem cannot be solved, then when all Vampires become Daywalkers, humans will all become their blood food.
Operating the instrument in front of him, Andy picked up the Holy Water, shook it, and said: "I'll give you some equipment. Leave the Holy Water; I need to research the principle of Holy Water's restraint on Vampires."
Holy Water was not very significant to Blade, as he himself had a strong aversion to it, so he agreed to Andy's request.
Andy tapped a few times on the display, and a black pistol was taken out by a robotic arm.
This was the automatic pistol Andy used during his first experiment with the Amplification Crystal. This pistol had a fully integrated version of the Fire reload.
Andy decided to give this pistol to Blade. This gun could help Blade; the high-temperature flames would incinerate any Vampire that appeared before him.
"This gun is my gift to you. It can fire flame bullets.
Remember to wear those energy gloves when using it, otherwise, a few shots will kill you."
He then retrieved a Vampire from the darkroom. This Vampire was the one who attacked Tina and Pepper yesterday, and he was still in a coma due to the anesthetic.
Putting on the energy gloves, he picked up the pistol and fired a shot at him.
A line of fire streaked through the air, and the Vampire was instantly ignited while still unconscious. In just a few breaths, he was reduced to a pile of ashes.
The Vampire in the sealed room watched this scene through the glass, sweat beads rolling down his forehead, his heart filled with even greater fear.
He was indeed right; in Andy's eyes, Vampires were just experimental subjects that could be killed at any time.
