The time is the 24th day of the ninth month of the 2018 lunar calendar and the first day of the 11th month of the Gregorian calendar.

In seven days, it will be the beginning of winter and the winter clothes festival.

At noon that day, Ye Bei received a new mission notice. Oddly enough, it's not a text message or an email. It's a book.

Yebei Mansion, in front of the gate.

The afternoon sun was listless, and it shone on Mr. Ye's body, adding a bit of heat to Jiji's spiritual clothes.

Behind him stood Ling Xi and Chen Xiaowu, two temporary workers recruited by Tianshu, as well as his daughter.

He stood in front of the courier mailbox, hesitated for a long, long time, and didn't dare to touch the paperwork.

- The book is tied with a thin string, and the dark red cover has eight anti-collision bronze horns as a fitting.

Ye Bei will be so jealous of this strange book because of its taste.

"It's like an old aunt's towel soaked in a sauerkraut jar for hundreds of years...... "He uses a wonderful metaphor: "Just by getting close and smelling it, I'm about to throw it up." ”

Chen Xiaowu followed Mr. Ye's side, fully armed, and he was the same as the old cadre dealt with zombies.

Fifth brother: "You seem to have smelled it." ”

Ye Bei was a little far away from this Heavenly Court God General, so as not to be accidentally injured by friendly soldiers.

The daughter of the Ye family frowned, stepped forward and sniffed the smell of the paperwork.

"Gross-"

Then he vomited cleanly.

Ah Huan raised her hand and surrendered: "No! I can't stand it! ”

Since the two comrades, Chen Fugui and Wang Lingxi, received both collaborative outsourcing contracts, they had to find out the main task information from Brother Ye.

Several people discussed to no avail, Lingxi girl was very heartless, and she was not afraid of danger, so she took the initiative to take out the evil document from the mailbox.

When the girl came into contact with the book, she saw crackling electric sparks coming out of her palm, and the spirit beast's exorcism spiritual power was fighting against the inexplicable evil energy in the book.

Finally, the rope on the cover was broken in two, which was considered to have opened the seal of this old antiquity.

Ye Bei: "What's the situation?" ”

The girl scratched her head, grabbed the only woman present, grabbed the daughter of the Ye family as a good best friend, and asked with palpitations: "I won't spoil it, right?" Little niece? ”

Ah Huan also looked like a little crow scratching her head, and explained in a daze: "This thing comes from the West, although I have been abroad a few times and know a little about black magic, but I am not proficient in it...... I think you're embarrassing my little kitten...... And ah! Why did you suddenly become my aunt? ”

Several people looked at each other and looked at the little fifth brother in unison.

Chen Fugui took the book and cleared his throat: "Ahem! Little Fifth Brother's metaphysical knowledge class has started! ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they pulled a bench from Boss Ye's house and sat on the mud lawn in front of the door, ready to listen to the class.

First of all, Xiao Wu showed a few students the words and patterns on the cover.

"The cover is made of air-dried sheepskin and hard fir wood, and sewing machine oil and formalin are used as preservatives, which is very sophisticated."

The words on the cover literally translate into English as "Guide".

Subheadings are letters with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters.

【J? Doolb】

The little fifth brother explained: "It looks like a surname, but it's actually a code word, and the mirror word is blood (blood) ......."

Ye Bei raised his hand: "Teacher Chen, it means blood!" Are we going to deal with vampires this time? ”

Huan Wei said in disgust: "No wonder the taste is so disgusting......

"Listen to me...... "The little fifth brother showed the [J] to a few anxious and curious babies, "This J prefix is transliterated as [jēra] in Lune, which means 'harvest, harvest'. ”

Ye Bei raised his hand again: "It adds up to a blood harvesting guide?" ”

Xiao Wu liked: "Yes! You're great!"

He then showed the students the carved lids of the cover, with fifty small white roses, three large black roses at the top of the cover, and finally six rosaries arranged in a hexagonal pattern in six directions on the cover.

"This is the cover of the Rosary, the shell of the Psalm of the Virgin Mary, and in ancient times clergy who could not chant the words in Latin would be transformed into a repeater and chanted the Rosary fifty times instead. Its meaning in Western metaphysics represents vitality! ”

Ye Bei: "Sure enough, the Holy Son knows the nature of human beings. ”

The little fifth brother brought the rope that tied the book, which looked very elastic, as if it was made of some kind of leather.

After some identification, the fifth brother said: "This is the umbilical cord, the person who made this book is very particular, and when the umbilical cord is cut, it also represents the birth of a new life." ”

Several students had snacks in their hands and listened attentively.

Ye Bei: "And then?" ”

Huan Jing: "Yes, and then?" ”

Reiki: "Snorr...... Snore...... Purr ......"

Teacher Chen rang the class bell: "Get up!" Girl! ”

- Reiki wakes up, "Oh! Finished? ”

Chen Xiaowu said solemnly: "Xiaobei, and a few of you, listen up." This mission,It's an overseas commission from Tianshu.,Judging from this retro and literary way of information transmission.,Although I don't know the main goal of this collaboration.,But it's definitely going abroad.,Otherwise, Tianshu wouldn't have called me such a free translator.。 ”

Ye Bei thought a little -

——In the past, when Tianshu issued a mission, it would be transferred to the intelligence team members to "localize and popularize", and try to make the mission information into a written form of a page game to fight the strange style with one click.

This time was different.

Xiao Wu turned the first page, translated the contents of the document for several people, and read it aloud.

"—Zhiyuan's companions in the East."

"I'm a hood hunter in the London branch, and at this moment, the blood-feeding dark bats have reappeared."

"My hunters and I have long been imprisoned by the Scourge of the Four Spirits, and we have little power left to deal with these artifacts, and they can hide among humans and lure ignorant humans into their family with the bait of eternal life. In addition to the Dark Bat, under the guidance of the Fallen Angel of Blackwing's Faceless, there are many more demons that are slowly awakening. I can feel it! MI8 can also feel it! There is an unknown, a great fear that has befallen us, and it is like a plague that wants to corrupt us from the inside out, and so—"

Huan Jing's eyes gradually became blood-red.

Ye Bei silently recited the word Dijiang.

Chen Xiaowu turned the next page.

"Am I in my own name, in the name of George? In the name of Lord Joseph, in the name of the hood hunter, he asked for help from the Celestial Hub.

- I have made ink from the bone powder of the Darkbat and written this Hunter's Guide, suppressing its ominous evil spirits with the Chant of the Rose. If the hunters of Tianshu can find the unclean thing attached to this book, then let him come to London! Come to this address...... Find out for us the scum of the hunters, and find out the traitors who drink the blood of dishonor, dishonor, disqualification and displacement! ”

This is the end of the introduction to the guide document, but in addition, most of the documents contain information on the [Hood] spirit hunting unit, as well as an introduction to European folklore and spiritual artifacts.

The girl flipped through the books, pulled Ye Bei's sleeves, and whispered, "It sounds like Di Jiang did it on purpose?" ”

Ye Bei nodded: "Yes, we can smell that fishy smell, if Tianshu receives this book, he will definitely have to come to us, and ......"

Huan Wei turned the page of the book: "My ghost spell is very similar to the blood contract of vampires, the book says that the reproduction method of the blood clan is blood exchange, and blood relatives are divided into two types: heirs and blood slaves. And I have a pact with you......"

She was suddenly stunned and didn't say much.

Ye Bei's expression was subtle: "It's inconvenient to say? I'm afraid that the Tianshu Research Institute will know about it, and use the strength of Gewu Zhizhi to study you thoroughly? And then bring me back to life? ”

There was hostility in Huan Jing's smile.

"Sensible."
