Chapter 171: Hood

During the flight, Xingchen informed Ye Bei of the remaining things one by one.

One of the big things was the mission of this joint hunt.

The mandate is as follows.

1. General outline.

This mission is mainly based on Su Xingchen, supplemented by Su Xingcai, with the safety of the team members as the first priority, [complete] the secondary task, and try to [perform] the main task.

2. Main Quest - Kill/Capture/Storage.

The mission goal is [Dijiang].

According to the description of Dijiang in the mythology of the Book of Mountains and Seas, this trip requires a similar magic weapon similar to the vajra to accompany the body, and the Dijiang was nailed open by the god of the law and died, so she chose Ms. Wang Lingxi's Zhenshui white rhino Tongtian beast as a body.

Depending on the degree of disaster of the Chaos Beast itself, the difficulty of capturing it, the unknown ability, the uncertainty of foreign spirit troops and other factors, I hope that all the team members will act cautiously, and take killing Dijiang as the first priority, if there are casualties, please be sure to cancel the operation as soon as possible, return to China, and carry out detailed intelligence collection work in the follow-up to prepare for the next operation to contact Dijiang.

3. Personnel related.

Each country needs the support of intelligence agencies, so it will not absorb personnel from other countries. After investigation, Tianshu has ruled out Chen Fugui's suspicion of being an American spy and can be used in this operation as a translator and guide.

Wang Lingxi's personal safety is temporarily entrusted to the members of Su Xingcai's team, during the mission, as the keeper of the Tongtian Beast, please ensure that the normal spirit body of the Tongtian Beast, the power of the [Tongtian] of the white rhino horn, is the key prop to defeat Dijiang.

Fourth, secondary tasks.

The secondary mission objective is [Bloodline].

Help the Hood banish and destroy the Bloodline, also known as the Vampire.

They are primitive rodents that carry rabies virus and blood contracts peculiar to the blood family. Possesses the ability to fly and is extremely sensitive to sound. Agent Yebei's special ability is needed to sniff out their tracks. And gather as much information as you can, trying to help the hood learn how to distinguish between demons and humans.

5. Mission time and evacuation procedures.

From November 1st to 6th, the return journey around the Winter Clothes Festival, also known as the Ancestor Worship Festival, is a festival to commemorate the deceased ancestors, when there will be a large number of corresponding spiritual disasters in China.

【Evacuation method】

(1) If the mission is successfully executed, before 8 o'clock in the morning of the 6th, the airbus provided by the British Passport Group will fly directly to Hong Kong to complete the return journey.

6. Remuneration related to collaborative labor contracts.

Subject to mission reports, as appropriate.

[Note: Whether the mission is successful or not, you are all heroes of the motherland.] 】

[Attachment?] Su Lianzhi】

The supernumerary personnel temporarily added in this operation are one of Ye Bei's wives, with a special identity and unknown ability, and I hope that Agent Ye Bei will not be burdened by him.

……

……

Ye Bei closed the task outline and digested the information in it.

At this moment, he was already at an altitude of five thousand meters, sitting in the pantry of the plane cabin.

Turning back the curtain of the door, the companions looked down and read the task description, all of them looking ready for battle.

Xingchen sat across from him, adjusting the Righteous Skeleton's power mechanism. His eyes were firmly fixed on the physiological indicators on the iron arm: "Finished reading?" ”

Ye Bei replied: "I've finished reading the outline, but I haven't read the guide yet." ”

Xingchen: "I will slowly teach you that when you go abroad, you will find that the world outside is completely different, especially in the West, and their concept of [spirit] is completely different from ours. ”

Ye Bei opened the guide, and one of the pages was an introduction to the hood hunter.

"The equipment is not the same?"

"It's completely different." Xingchen popped the switch of the water heater with the metal finger of his prosthetic, apparently unable to control the strength of his new arm.

Hot water spilled out.

Ye Bei wanted to go up to help: "Oops." ”

Xingchen immediately aimed his prosthetic tail finger at the leaking water heater iron cylinder, and spat out dense colloids from the tips of his tail fingers, like spider silk, tightly wrapping the leaking place.

Su Xingchen: "It's okay, let's go on." ”

Ye Bei sat back, he covered his chin, and looked at the image of the hunter on the guide atlas.

The hunter's clothes were thick and warm, and the main garment was a large leather trench coat, and the relics of the ancients or saints were used as waterproof cloaks and ponchos.

In the inner pocket of the jacket was their ammunition depot, which consisted of silver bullets and silver stakes, and spiritual objects such as corn and soybeans were also usually hung on the jacket for easy access.

The two sleeve pockets can be used to store crossbows, arrows and short weapons, and the pockets near the elbow and arm can hold two magazines.

It is worth mentioning that under the left chest of the garment, there must be a chest pocket for the hunting notes and scriptures. It's also to protect the heart.

On the right chest, there is a one-sided eye, which, like the [Soul Gaze] sunglasses, allows ordinary hunters to see the souls of the dead.

- The bottom is a pair of tight-fitting leather pants, often with crotch pockets and bag hooks, which are used to place secondary weapons and melee combat weapons.

Equipped with a pair of silver cut-out chain mail leggings, only the lower leg is placed on the armor, and the thigh is used to place the firearm and the bottle of the kitchen treasure, not only the kitchen things, but also oil, lighters and accelerants.

- Strangely, on the side of the thigh, at the location of the major artery, this leather trouser specially left two places of spun black cloth, but three or four centimeters in length and width, which is considered a weakness.

Ye Bei finished reading this illustration of the hunter's equipment.

"Armed to the teeth...... However, here ......"

He held up the book and asked Su Xingchen a question.

"Why is there a weakness here?"

Xingchen explained: "It's a hood tradition, the book in your hand is called 'Blood Harvesting Guide', and it used to have a more simple and direct name, called 'Blood Hunting Guide'. ”

"What do you mean......" Ye Bei's expression froze: "Hunters will also use spirits and monsters to strengthen their bodies?" ”

Su Xingchen took Ye Bei's guide book: "That's right, you might as well think about why they call themselves hunters." ”

Ye Bei thought of the ghost serum, and he muttered, "Oh! Youkai are also beasts, they are responsible for hunting beasts, arming themselves with the teeth of beasts, this piece of black gauze, they use to inject serum into the major arteries! ”

"Yes, Yebei, that's the difference." Su Xingchen turned the next page and showed the origin of the hood.

There is an oil painting on the guidebook.

It is the scene of hunters throwing the heads of wizards and monsters into the fire in front of the stake, drawing blood around the corpses, and injecting them into their bodies.

"From the thirteenth century and even earlier, hunters appeared. They hunt down antiquities that endanger human society in the dark. Later, as a result of religious movements, hunters began to hunt weak gods and unruly elves, and tried to use various methods to take spiritual power for their own use. Then there is the cruel witch hunt, whether it is a wizard or a woman of a good family, as long as they are identified as witches, they will be captured and burned by hunters.

Later, during the Industrial Revolution, hunters began to work for the government, and most of them chose to live near the steel mills because of the need to supply weapons.

In this era of steelmaking, London has also become a fog capital, frequent fires, many factories will leave a ventilation hood on the roof to prevent the smoke of the fire from not being discharged, in fact, most of the fires occur, the killing is usually not the flames, but the smoke of high temperatures. Hunters also often rushed to the scene of the fire to save people from the flames.

- Their English abbreviation is WH.

It's Witch Hunter, Wizard Hunter, and Wolf Hunter.

In modern times, hunters have been able to strengthen their bodies with serum mixtures, and youkai or elves are just a special ability for them. Not faith, and even less worthy of their respect. It is not so much that the old hunters have transcendent spiritual powers, but that this is a group of superpowers who have turned spirits into their own use, and most of the hunters have left the normal human society. ”

Xingchen opened the drink valve and brought Ye Bei a glass of wine.

"During the day, they're Wind Hats (hoods) who go around putting out fires."

The scarlet wine in the glass looked like blood.

"At night, it's Wine Hades."

"Wine" refers to wine, especially deep red wine. It is an essential food in the sacrament and the key to the door to eternal life.

Hades has a triple meaning and is synonymous with Hades, Hades, and Hell.

"Lord Yama who drinks fruit wine? Aristocratic Happy Water Terminator? Monster with a high incidence of diabetes? Ye Bei made up for the scene in the local culture where Lord Yan sang the princess with a red wine glass.

Su Xingchen didn't mention it in one breath, almost suffocating to death.
