Chapter 175: The Masochist
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Along the way, the strangers learn the rules of the hunter's game in the West.
From George's mouth, it was learned that Europe and the Americas were the range of activities of hunters, and there was also a set of [haunted standards] for hunters.
There are four plagues in the East, which are divided into good luck and repentance.
In the West, because of the existence of hunters, they do not consider spirits to be disasters, but only classify spirits to facilitate hunting and harvesting.
- Hunters divide [spirits] into four types: wandering spirits, tower spirits, superintendent spirits, and evil spirits.
Name implies.
The Wandering Spirit is an aimless wandering ghost who will enter the netherworld of the River Styx or go to Heavenly Bliss at any moment.
Talings are Earthbound spirits who are reluctant to leave a place.
The Donder is an obsessive spirit that accomplishes a mission.
- Evil spirits are special spirits that can devour other spirits and gain psionic energy from them. When the spirits of evil spirits are strong enough, and the burial methods in Western Europe are mostly burial, they can use their corpses to gather into sand and build the physical form of demons for their spirits.
In addition to the classification of spirits, Westerners also use grades to strictly classify antiquities and demonic spirits, and the standard of this classification is to compare them according to the combat power of demons. It is convenient to stay in the paperwork of the "Blood Harvest Guide", and leave it for new hunters as an introductory science.
The general ranks of demons are [Demon], [Demon], [Noble Prince], [Governor], [Count], [Marquis], [Duke], [Demon King], [Cabinet], [Grand Duke], and [Sovereign].
George drove the car and explained to the guests in the car the strength of the target blood clan of the mission: "In the eyes of hunters, the average blood clan is the [noble son] rank. The blood pact in their bodies is usually thirteen generations away, and the direct line of the clan can be traced back to the vampires of three hundred to five hundred years ago. β
As a occult consultant, the fifth brother contributed to George's popular science column: "In fact, this group of fast-drying old bacon is reluctant to give up their own blood, and the way of blood reproduction is blood exchange, like a stiff body structure and not much blood-producing ability, and if you have a few more babies, you will have to become weaker." β
George followed: "Unfortunately, they learned from us how to breed better......
Ye Bei: "You're talking about the sacrament." β
"Yes." George knocked on the car's CD player, changed a disc, and played a Chinese song to the Chinese guests.
The song is called "Goodbye".
George and Ye Bei explained why: "The way hunters become stronger is completely opposite to the way the blood clan, but very similar......"
The Bloodline relies on the blood given by their ancestors to gain extraordinary strength, and each generation is weaker and weaker.
Hunters rely on the blood obtained from hunting antiquities, and turn the blood into a master's inheritance, which is stronger from generation to generation.
George pressed the play button, and the familiar folk and guitar sounds came from the ears of several Chinese.
"The hunters had already expelled them from the country, and many of the Bloods chose to live incognito in places of the polar night, such as Sweden and Norway. By the time I noticed the explosion in the number of Bloods in the City of London, it was already too late. β
Ye Bei grasped the point: "The sacrament ceremony is also a gift from a hunter to his disciples?" β
"Yes, that's right." George said: "We are not relatives originally, but we can use blood to maintain the master-apprentice relationship and become relatives. β
Each hunter's [spiritual ability] is different, and it is linked to the hunter's own personality, habits, and emotions, just like everyone's life experience and personality are different.
- It is the silk thread pocket watch used by George when hunting the blood clan, George called it the [Scarlet Pendulum], its steel wire will leave a mark on the enemy when it hits the enemy, and when it hits the second time, the enemy's body and soul will enter an irreversible transcendence link (physics), and it takes forty-nine seconds from the hit to the completion of the transcendence - it is the time it takes for George to finish reading the [George Bible], and it pays attention to a sense of ritual.
This special ability has an easy-to-understand abbreviation in the hunter's mouth, which translates to a very oriental shortness.
It's called SP β Soul Power
γSoul Mightγ
The old hunter will choose his favorite disciple on Halloween and give the disciple a holy cake containing blood, and if the disciple's body can withstand this blood, at the coming-of-age ceremony, the old hunter will give his own serum to the disciple to help the disciple find the soul power.
- Getting down to business. The first destination in the mission arrived.
"My personal doctor has also become a vampire...... He was also a hunter...... "George slammed on the brakes, "and this is where he worked when he was a human being." It is a hospital with a stable blood bank that supplies blood to vampires. β
Outside the car window is Charing Cross Station and the North Shore of Thames.
At 11:40 p.m., twenty minutes away, Halloween is over.
The riverbank was full of people, and the children in the square carried jack-o'-lanterns, pretending to be goblins, and begged for candy from their neighbors in groups.
George led four strangely dressed guests out of the car. Five hunters, standing downstairs in the Cross Hospital, looking out at the large bronze statue of Nelson.
"This is the hospital where tonight's hunting ground is," said George. β
Xiao Wu tried to ask, "I don't have to go along, right?" β
After all, the little fifth brother is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't want to join in the fun of this kind of thing.
Mr. George put on one side of the glasses for Chen Fugui, allowing the blonde Anglo-Saxon to regain the courage to fight in Scotland.
"If you see it clearly, you won't be afraid."
Mr. Ye Bei took out the cassette tape from his pocket, straightened the hunter's big felt hat for Chen Fugui, and continued to play "Goodbye" on the tape recorder.
He followed the lyrics and sang with the little fifth brother: "I'm afraid I won't have a chance~ Say goodbye to you!" ~Because maybe I'll never see you again!~~~"
It means that if Chen Xiaowu leaves the team, this "goodbye" is likely to be the last one.
Huan Jing pushed Xiao Wu's shoulder and asked Xiao Wu to go to the hospital hall.
Su Lianzhi opened the door for the three of them, waved his hand lightly, and beat the beat.
The group talked and laughed.
George was amused by the harmonious atmosphere of the family, but his face had vicissitudes completely different from his appearance and age.
There are still many words, and George did not explain it to Ye Bei.
- His personal doctor turned vampire.
Not only that, but the doctor was also his student.
What hurts my heart is that in this hospital, there are still many of George's students - all of them are [relatives] that Mr. George bought with blood.
He spent four months learning how to grill burgers for the sake of these little guys. Now, these cute little guys can't eat ordinary people's food.
George followed the beat of Mr. Ye's tape recorder, stepped into the hospital hall step by step, followed the Chinese team, took out a bottle of powder, and sprinkled it on Chen Fugui.
The little fifth brother was shocked at the time, and asked, "Brother, what are you cooking?" β
George: "For your safety. β
At the moment when everyone stepped into the hospital hall, the eyes of the three reception nurses at the front desk changed a lot.
"What's this?" The little fifth brother slapped the powder on his head.
George said, "The ashes of a saint will keep you safe." β
"Which saint? Joan of Arc? Xiao Wu was puzzled.
The hospital's six elevators are lit up in unison, as if many people choose to go downstairs at the same time.
"Mr. Ye, show me the way." George pointed to the nurse at the front desk, and explained to Chen Fugui in a low voice: "The dust on your body is the saint George?" Joseph's ribs were ground into marrow ashes. β
Ye Bei sniffed the smell in the air, standing outside the hospital just now, the blood storage bank of the medical department and the fishy smell in the air were mixed with each other, and it was difficult to distinguish them. Now closer, he could clearly recognize the three evil creatures on the night shift in the hall.
He duly prompted George: "Fire." β
Then there was a flower in front of me.
George had an extra long-rod pump-action rifle in his hand,
Piercing tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun. A silver bullet was drilled, and the moment it hit the head of the walking corpse, it split into countless fragments, shattering the three walking corpses to pieces.
After the gunshots, and after a chaotic chaos, the family members and passers-by in the hall ran away.
- There were only five hunters left in the hall.
The mahogany gun in George's hand with a fine silver print is a Winchester M1866, which is a very old and useful firearm.
"Thank you very much." George thanked Ye Bei.
He stepped forward to inspect the corpses of the three entertainers, and under the effect of the exorcism bullet, the corpses began to burn, and they were about to be sent to hell.
Ye Bei stepped forward and asked, "If it is calculated according to combat effectiveness, what level are these minions who were killed by one shot?" β
George reloaded the weapon: "Demons are not counted, they are just evil spirits who borrow corpses to resurrect their souls." β
Ye Bei asked again: "Then what level do you think I am?" β
George helped Ye Bei take out a silver-plated scimitar and handed it to the other party: "You are a guest from the East, you can't use our set of standards." β
Ye Bei's heart moved, and it was right to think about it, there are so many Zhengshen vest trumpet clones in Huaxia, and the combat power is also up and down, and the same is true for the soul destroyer who uses divine power to exorcise demons. Moreover, most of the ghosts pay attention to harm and countermeasures, and it is difficult to have an actual power hierarchy.
Ye Bei did the same and asked Chen Xiaowu to pull out a silver-plated scimitar to defend himself.
A few people stood in the hall, waiting for the guests to come to the door.
Ye Bei felt that the smell was getting closer and closer, and he described: "It's different from just now, it's a little stronger." β
Huan Wei prompted: "It's a blood slave." β
Mr. George took out two grenades from his coat pocket, and Chen Xiaowu did the same.
Ding Dong β
In an instant, dozens of strange figures wearing hospital uniforms poured out from the six elevator entrances.
Their limbs are twisted and they have become nimble beasts, their cloaks scattered, like arthropods crawling on all fours, and they are extremely fast!
The two threw four grenades.
Before the grenades could land, four bullets had already detonated them prematurely.
Sparks and waves of air are loud and powerful.
George continued to fire without stopping, and the moment the M1866's bullets shot out, he replaced himself with another spear.
Under the hunter's suit, there are swelling muscle joints, and when shooting with a gun, Mr. George's lower body is as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest hesitation, and there is no extra precision to hold his breath, everything is so smooth and natural!
The firearm is a product of the Winchester Company, model M1887, which is a trolley pump-action shotgun.
The blood slaves rushed forward and pounced out of the narrow elevator passage! They were greeted by three powerful gunshots!
An exaggerated single bullet shot out of the dark red barrel with the savage fire of the smoothbore gun.
It first hit the blood slave in the head, and then the huge bullet kinetic energy flew backwards with the flesh, crashing into the body of its companion.
Then dozens of broken iron projectiles were blocked by fire, completely erasing their courage to commit murder.
Eventually, a high-temperature magnesium powder grenade explodedβraging white flames burning on them, gradually turning the twenty-odd bodies into ashes.
There are also a few remnants who were shot and didn't die, and they just wanted to get up.
George threw eight knives out of his hands and sent them all into their heads.
Clean and unrelenting.
All is calm.
Chen Xiaowu was stunned......
- The wave of air generated by the explosion of the grenade lifted Xiao Wu's hat, and miraculously, the stray bullet did not hurt him.
The three members of the Ye family tightly covered the hat felt on their heads, and the hunter clothes on their bodies were somewhat torn, but their dynamic vision had already reached an inhuman level, and they could protect the vital points.
Chen Xiaowu had palpitations in his heart, and he was also afraid.
But what he didn't know was ...... The reason why he wasn't injured by the fire was because of George.
- Why?
The scattered fragmentary stray bullets fired at Xiao Wu were intercepted by George, a sharpshooter, with bullets quietly.
The smoke cleared, leaving a corpse at the elevator entrance.
The overhead fire installation shower smelled the smoke and finally got to work.
Several other people have big hats to protect from the rain, but the little fifth brother is drenched into a soup chicken.
George: "What else?" β
Ye Bei: "And? β
George: "These aren't even appetizers, there must still be, there must be vampires!" β
Ye Bei and Ah Huan began to use their sense of smell again, they sniffed carefully at the button in the elevator, and smelled the specific floor.
Ye Bei prompted: "Tenth floor." β
George kicked away the corpses of the Blood Slaves, kicking them together and sprinkling marrow ashes on them. When the demon's corpse touches the marrow ashes, it is like ice and snow seeing sunlight, and it dissolves into invisibility in an instant.
Obviously, this old hunter has been through a hundred battles, and the marrow ashes made of his own ribs can already be used as a thing to ward off evil spirits.
George instructed: "Ye Bei and I go upstairs, don't come in, the guests upstairs refuse to come down, I can only take the initiative to talk to them, there will definitely be an ambush at the elevator entrance, it is very dangerous, and this group of little lambs has not used any [soul power], which makes me worried and worried." β
Ye Bei threw stomach nourishing potions at his daughter and followed Brother George.
"I'll come when I go."
Su Lianzhi wanted to follow, and asked George to point a gun to his head and force him to retreat.
George: "Is my Chinese not standard enough?" Don't you understand? Mrs. Ye. β
Ye Bei played a round game: "Wife... People are hosts, and they know that it is dangerous upstairs, so it is not appropriate for you to enter the elevator to join in the excitement. β
Su Lianzhi's face turned red with anger, and when the elevator door closed, she thought that her husband had something to say, so she hurriedly ran to the safe passage and wanted to climb up the stairs.
- in the elevator.
George specially took off his big hat, and Ye Bei did the same.
They recited the eulogy with one heart and one mind, and did a great deal of transcendence for the innocent beings who died.
Wait for the recitation of the transcendent scriptures that combine Chinese and Western styles.
The elevator has just reached the fifth floor.
The proficiency and speed of the two hunters in chanting are comparable to that of rappers.
At this momentβ
- George felt a wonderful friendship.
After more than 500 years of time, I met such a similar person.
He asked Ye Bei: "Mr. Ye, if your friend, your relatives have become demons......"
Ye Bei smiled: "She was originally a demon. β
George was stunned.
"Sure enough, the thinking patterns of Easterners and Westerners are completely different, and they are the same as our skin color."
The old hunter sang softly to the voice of the tape recorder.
He was waiting, waiting for the elevator to open for the moment, to face his cute little guys, to face his students.
We must draw our guns and kill them, and kill our relatives with righteousness.
"I will keep your face firmly in mind, and I will cherish the thoughts you give, which will never be erased in my heart these days."
He is a person who likes to pull the trigger very much, and every time he pulls the trigger, it is as refreshing as shaving off the paronychia granulation on his nails.
"I can't promise you if I'll ever come back."
He is a pure man, a righteous man, a resolute man, a masochistic man.
"Go on without looking back, without looking back."
is a living legendary hunter.
