Set in a modern city, the world of this book is inhabited by many dark creatures, vampires, werewolves, evil spirits, wizards and even demons, and these evils are fought against a special professional group of hunters, who hunt down any dark creatures that lurk in human society.
Each of the dark creatures is undetectable among humans in disguise, and only in the dead of night does it take off its disguise to reveal its true face. Hunters use a variety of clues to distinguish the demons that roam among humans and eliminate them.
Hunters don't have superpowers, they're just a bunch of ordinary humans who are good at dealing with all kinds of special creatures.
Most of the indie characters in this book are described in the form of terrorist cases.

There was a serial murder case in S City, where Jiang Ying was located, and the perpetrator of the series of cases was a newborn vampire, and Jiang Ying's mentor took hunting this vampire as one of his assessments. Jiang Ying used herself as bait and eventually hunted the target vampire, He Shiyun, but got into trouble because "He Shiyun" was a criminal policeman because of her human identity.
The heroine "Chu Ling", as the best friend and colleague of the deceased He Shiyun, traced Jiang Ying through the clues at the scene of the crime. Because the two sides have a common goal, the relationship between the two switches from hostility to cooperation, and they work together to find out the truth about He Shiyun's case. After re-investigating the scene of the crime and escaping death many times, Jiang Ying and Chu Ling discovered the truth that an elder of a vampire clan "made" descendants in an orphanage in S City, and He Shiyun, who was hunted by Jiang Ying before, was accidentally transformed into a vampire by blood poison because she often visited children in the orphanage, and at the same time, the vampire clan also stared at Jiang Ying with a special physique.
Eventually, at a critical juncture, other high-ranking members of the Hunters' Guild found Jiang Ying and Chu Ling and collaborated to kill the vampire elder. Jiang Ying finished the preliminary assessment and became an official hunter.

Ghoul Chapter:
Jiang Ying successfully went on to S City University, and joined the supernatural club organized by the student organization at the instigation of his classmate Shen Xiaolong.
Medical school departments often have rumors of organ specimen theft, but they are not taken seriously. Until a jumping off a building**, the body of the student who jumped to his death in the middle of the night mysteriously disappeared before the police arrived at the scene.
Jiang Ying's club organized a death-defying expedition, a group of people entered the suburbs of the university during the holiday to explore, originally just a planned joke to scare each other, but in the end it evolved into the disappearance of many members, Jiang Ying and Shen Xiaolong tacitly cooperated in the wild, and the strange creatures in the jungle were confronted, and finally the students in the club were able to return safely. And Jiang Ying secretly hunted and killed the strange creatures that fed on corpses under everyone's noses.
However, after Jiang Ying and Chu Ling's later re-investigation and analysis, it became clear that the real evil person in this case was the student president of the supernatural club, and after he witnessed a ghoul by chance, he worshipped this dark creature madly, and the lost specimens of the medical school, the female students who jumped off the building, and the wild activities of the club were all organized and planned by him, just to "worship" the creatures in the jungle.

Jiang Ying thought that he would be hunted back, but the other party only said that their people did not want war, and the reason why they came to this city was only to track down the previous vampire clan.

Wizard Chapter:
Chu Ling's criminal investigation case met a murderer who was not afraid of hot weapons, so he asked Jiang Ying for help.
However, the Hunter Association forbade Jiang Ying to interfere with the **, indicating that there would be corresponding high-level hunters to deal with the target creature. But because Chu Ling habitually took risks alone, Jiang Ying couldn't watch her die, and finally got involved in the case.
Wizards are the only dark creatures in the real world other than vampire clans that are organized as a group, and are able to bend the rules of physics in a special way.
In the vampire case in the Guangming District, Jiang Ying's special physique has been perceived by the clan, and the real target of the wizard this time is Jiang Ying, because the plague physique is the biggest enemy in the wizarding world.
During the struggle, Jiang Ying's hunter mentor died tragically, and the pattern of the Hunter Association in S City fell into chaos. The high-level arbiter of the association temporarily took over the management of the association in S City, but Jiang Ying found that there were already wizards lurking in the arbiter.
Eventually, Jiang Ying killed the wizard inside the arbiter.
However, due to insufficient evidence, he was detained by the association.
Chu Ling and Shen Xiaolong, as well as other members of the S City Hunter Association, cleared Jiang Ying's name.
At this point, Jiang Ying also realized that after a long period of change, the association was no longer as holy as before.

Final Chapter:
There was a gathering of wizards in the northern city of W, who slaughtered all the hunters in the city.
The Hunters' Guild convened a joint operation to unite the elite hunters of the major cities to carry out a final sweep of the city's dark night.
However, Jiang Ying eventually discovered that this was not a hunt against wizards at all, but a self-purge within the Hunters Association, and some of the high-level arbiters intended to completely erase all uncertain elements in the association. Jiang Ying met the long-missing werewolf Chen Xiaoming, who was already in a near-death state, and told Jiang Ying what she had seen and heard during her imprisonment at the headquarters of the Hunter Guild - the association did not seal the evil creatures left behind in their hunting operations, but re-systematized control by various means, including the children in the orphanage who were poisoned with vampire blood, the evil spirits in the mirror, the corpses of wizards, and they even completely distorted and transformed the ghoul worship senior brother of Jiang Ying's supernatural club at the university into a ghoul.
All this was done by the "Restoration Group" in the top echelons of the arbiters.
Tired of the original operation mode of the Hunter Organization, they believe that these evil forces should be mastered and utilized, and they are no longer willing to abide by the rules of the hunters, believing that the world that the hunters have worked so hard to protect should belong to the hunters and should be ruled by the hunters.
"Eh, wait, you have something to say......
Jiang Ying just opened his mouth to say something.
The skinny gray-clothed old man's fingers moved slightly, and a bone-chilling coldness came directly to his face, and Yang's mouth was instantly frozen and he couldn't speak.
"Day &......"
He could only curse in his heart.
Sure enough, the plots of those women in the TV series who promised each other after being watched were all fucking deceitful.
……
"Then leave this thief to me to dispose of."
The gray-clothed old man tilted his head slightly.
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Jiao." The woman bowed her head very politely this time, and then added: "Uncle doesn't have to care about this thief anymore, just throw him and the blood slave in the blood slave pit and keep it for tomorrow's sacrifice, just take a good body of flesh and blood, if you kill it so casually, it will be a pity to waste it in vain." ”
The woman's tone of voice always gave the impression of suaveness, as if there was no discussion of how to put a person to death at all.
Of course, Jiang Ying didn't know what the so-called blood slaves and sacrifices represented, but it was obvious that the end would definitely be no different from death, and it might even be worse than death.
What kind of do you say this is called, I just died once, and I finally thought that I had picked up a missed encounter similar to crossing, but I was going to die again in the blink of an eye......
Didn't you just look at your eldest lady's ass, what's the matter......
……
Although this woman in a long black dress does have a bit of a look...... Well, it should be said that he is quite beautiful, whether it is face or figure, he can be ranked first among the women Jiang Ying has seen, but despite this, Jiang Ying does not think that it is worth his dog life as a price to see Fang Rong.
But this world is obviously different from Jiang Ying's past life.
The people here seem to be very powerful?
……
Jiang Ying recalled that when he fell into the bathroom more than an hour ago, he was slammed out by the woman.
You must know that Jiang Ying himself is a martial arts enthusiast, although he can't talk about much fighting, but he still has a physique and a sense of fighting, and in the past world, it was absolutely impossible to be slapped a few meters away by a girl.
……
And everything in the world in front of him subverted Jiang Ying's cognition.
……
Now, he can't even speak.
With the greeting of the gray-clothed old man, two strong men in leather armor who looked like guards walked in outside the lobby and directly dragged Jiang Ying away.
Jiang Ying couldn't move, so he could only be pulled out of here like a dead dog.
The two guards were still wearing shackles and chains, but when they came in, they found that Jiang Ying had "brought" shackles, so they shrugged their shoulders and directly dragged Jiang Ying with the shackles around his neck and pulled him away.
And the needle that had been suspended in the center of Jiang Ying's eyebrows from beginning to end also flew back into the hands of the gray-clothed old man.
……
This "interrogation" began abruptly and ended very abruptly.
Jiang Ying was completely deprived of the right to speak, he was now almost a lamb to the slaughter, and he was being sent to some so-called blood slave pit.
……
He was dragged out of the lobby.
After passing through many eerie indoor passages, we came to an open area.
Jiang Ying noticed that there were uniformly dressed guards guarding many places here, and they usually stood in the shadows, making it difficult to detect their presence if you didn't look closely.
After leaving the lobby, Jiang Ying could no longer feel that antique atmosphere, and the walls and roads outside were all filled with an inky cold and solemn atmosphere.
……
And it wasn't until Jiang Ying really saw the so-called blood slave pit that he realized that the so-called blood slave pit was actually a place similar to a prison, no, to be precise, it was indeed a pit, but the function was similar to that of a prison, and it was used to lock people up.
In an open field, there are nine huge pits arranged in a nine-square grid.
There are a lot of guards standing guard around.
And these pits are very large, according to Jiang Ying's visual measurements, there are at least hundreds of square coverage areas, note, here refers to a single large pit.
As for the depth, he does not know.
Since it was already late at night, it was pitch black everywhere, and Jiang Ying couldn't see anything in the pit.
By this time, he had gradually regained his mobility, at least his mouth could speak.
But just as he was about to ask what was in the pit, the two guards who were guarding him kicked him off the ground into the pit!
……
Bang!
"I'm your uncle......"
Jiang Ying fell to the bottom of the pit and fell into a dog eating.
It turned out that the pit was much deeper than he had imagined.
Fortunately, the soil on the ground is relatively soft, otherwise this fall would have broken a few ribs or something.
Jiang Ying staggered to his feet, he looked up at Fang, according to visual inspection, the depth of this pit is seven or eight meters, he is really fateful, if he hits a stone or something, wouldn't he go back to find that cloaked brother on the spot?
But at this moment, Jiang Ying felt a tearing pain in his chest.
The light was so dim that he could only touch the pain with his hands.
"Hiss......"
A smell of blood wafted into Jiang Ying's nose.
Something had cut a long gap in his chest, not very deep, but the blood had soaked his clothes.
Just as he was wondering how he could have cut this wound, Jiang Yin found that the inner wall of the pit in front of him was covered with countless sharp blades......
This is true for the entire inner wall of the pit, with various blades of varying lengths fixed to the wall from the inside out.
The density of the blade makes the scalp tingle.
Of course, these blades are used to prevent the people imprisoned in the pit from crawling out along the inner wall, although they are seven or eight meters deep, but at this height, if there are some concave and convex positions on the inner wall that can be started, some people are really likely to climb out, but if the entire inner wall is inlaid with blades, then there is no chance at all.
……
Obviously, Jiang Ying must have slashed a certain blade when the butterfly fell from the ground, and such a long gap was cut in his chest.
Although it was unlucky, it was a blessing in misfortune.
Thanks to the two guards who kicked him hard.
If Jiang Ying had fallen against the inner wall of the pit, it would have been a fucking shredded corpse.
……
Jiang Ying hurriedly checked the other parts of his body to see if there were any wounds that had been overlooked.
Fortunately, it didn't, and the only wound was the chest knife.
The tingling sensation continued to increase, and Jiang Ying, who was in pain, gritted his teeth.
……
However, this is not the real horror of the Blood Slave Pit.
Jiang Ying had been paying attention to his injuries until he noticed something moving behind him, and then he realized that something was wrong.
When he slowly turned around, he realized that he ......
At this time, there were already countless "people" who had been "awakened", staring at him with bright eyes.
……
……
Jiang Ying and all the elite groups were ambushed in W City, and they narrowly won and survived, but under Jiang Ying's leadership, they created the illusion of a collective annihilation and deceived the Guangfu group.
With the Restoration Group completely controlling all the high-level members of the Hunters Association's arbiters, Jiang Ying and other elites infiltrated the headquarters of the Hunters Association and launched a perfect hunt against the Hunters.
The Hunters' Guild has undergone a complete reshuffle.
The largest hunt of the century was not aimed at dark creatures, but on the entire Fubai hunter system attached to the "Restoration Group".
……
Only then did Jiang Ying understand what his dead mentor often said:
"The night is not terrible, the demons are not terrible, the most terrible thing is people." (To be continued)
