594 - Vampire
"He's my boss, we're just an employer and an employee......"
Father Hilton smiled, and then said that he had arrived in China about a month ago, and that he had met Chen Xu through a friend's recommendation when he passed by here about a few days ago.
At that time, Chen Xu seemed to be recruiting on a large scale. Everywhere to search for people from various sects. As soon as I heard that Father Hilton was a British exorcist, he paid a lot of money to ask Father Hilton to stay, Father Hilton himself was wandering around, and when he saw that Chen Xu's salary was very high, he didn't refuse, and promised him to stay and help him for a few months, but he was going to leave after enough rest, and Chen Xu also agreed to him.
As for the reason why Chen Xu suddenly snare people in the Daomen, in fact, we don't need to ask Xiaoru and we understand, naturally because of us.
Chen Xu is not a bad person, which is one of the reasons why I can't hate him, but he obviously hates me deeply, and the reason is naturally because of the changes in the Chen family before.
In Chen Xu's opinion, if I hadn't forcibly investigated the truth of the mining accident that year, I wouldn't have led to the following series of things. Therefore, I am the main culprit who caused the destruction of his family.
As soon as it came to Chen Xu's body, the atmosphere immediately seemed a lot more depressed, in order to adjust the atmosphere. So I deliberately digressed and asked, "Father Hilton, do you live here?" ”
The priest nodded and said, "Yes, I already moved here a few days ago, and it was arranged by Young Master Chen Xu, but at that time, you were all busy with your own opening, so you didn't notice it." ”
After hearing what he said, I was shocked again, glanced at my surroundings a few more times, grinned, and said, "But, how can this place be inhabited?" It's just one bed......"
"Haha, that's actually perfect for someone like me who wanders around. I've even slept in snowy mountains, swamps, and dead animal carcasses...... Oh, don't get me wrong. When I say 'slept,' I mean slept on the carcass of a dead animal, and I don't mean what you think......"
After speaking, the priest himself laughed first, and I laughed too, but Xiaoru's face turned red.
Then I saw Xiaoru pointing to the coffins in the depths of the hall and asking, "But, why are there so many coffins here?" You're sleeping with these coffins? ”
As soon as Xiao Ru's words were asked, Father Hilton immediately clapped his hands, laughed and stood up.
"The Nemen planted in the Wen Dao has committed adultery, and he ...... with Wolai"
The priest waved to us, and we followed him towards the coffins.
Walking to one of the coffins, Hilton paused, and then opened the lid of the coffin with both hands, and looked inside, Xiaoru and I were suddenly shocked, and saw a corpse lying in the coffin without clothes, a corpse with pale skin but intact, and no stinking rot or even corpse spots.
Seeing that the corpse was also blonde, blue-eyed and high-nosed, he knew that it was a foreigner at first glance.
Just as we were surprised, Father Hilton smiled confidently and said, "You must think this is just an ordinary corpse, right?" Nono, you're wrong, this is a vampire, similar to your Chinese zombie ......"
As the priest spoke, he pointed to the heart of the corpse, and we noticed that a silver nail had been driven into the heart of the corpse, and when we looked at the corpse, we also noticed that in addition to a corpse, there was a lot of garlic scattered next to the coffin. The chief Zhuang died.
Before we could ask, the priest added: "Hundreds of years ago, vampires were considered to be the greatest predators of humans, they were similar in appearance to humans, but their physical strength was much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and they had to rely on human blood to survive......"
"So, you Western exorcists, use garlic against them?"
I pouted again and said, "This vampire is too easy to deal with, isn't it?" Afraid of acid? The chili pepper is hotter than garlic, if these vampires go to Sichuan and Hunan, will they be able to leave alive? ”
"Haha, you're wrong, of course garlic can't kill vampires, but vampires are really afraid of garlic, because their sense of smell is different from that of humans, and they hate the strong smell of garlic, so using garlic can play a role in driving away and blocking vampires......"
The priest said, pointing to the garlic in the coffin and said, "As for these, it is to test whether these vampires have been resurrected, and if they do, they will escape from the coffin because they can't stand the smell of garlic......"
"Resurrection? Can these vampires be resurrected? ”
I asked in surprise, and the priest nodded, and then said, "That's right, the only things that can really kill vampires are holy water, silverware, and crosses, so I used silver nails to crucify them while they were sleeping during the day, but vampires' life force is very tenacious, and even these things can't kill them completely, so I need to use garlic for a long time to test whether they are still dead, so as not to harm people again when they come back to life......"
As he spoke, the priest lifted the lids of the three coffins next to him, each of which contained a vampire......
At this time, Xiaoru asked in surprise: "This, these are all killed by you?" ”
"Hey, hey, like."
The priest nodded proudly, then pointed to the burly bearded vampire in the coffin next to him and said, "It's called Love, I caught it in the ice and snow of Russia, oh my God, it smells so bad, it's the smelliest vampire I've ever seen......"
Then the priest pointed to the female corpse in the second coffin and said: "Her name is Ada, I found her on a farm in Australia, she has caused more than ten local murders at that time, you don't look at it as a woman, but it is very powerful, I almost died in her hands......"
As he spoke, the priest lifted his robe to reveal his abdomen, and a scar more than twenty centimeters long was clearly visible.
Seeing that we were all stupid, the priest shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly embarrassedly and said: "Actually, I am really a lucky person, I have been fighting against vampires and monsters for more than 30 years in my life, and these twelve vampires are my trophies, and I am still alive......"
After listening to Father Hilton, Xiaoru's mood and I can only be described in two words, that is, shock.
At this time, Xiaoru asked, "Father, what about your family?" You wander around, don't you miss your family? ”
Hearing Xiao Ru's question, Father Hilton's expression actually fell.
"Family? I don't have any family anymore. ”
He smiled bitterly and sighed, "When I was twelve years old, a vampire who was being hunted by an exorcist suddenly broke into my house and went on a killing spree, and I watched him bite my parents and two sisters to death, and just as he was about to attack me, the exorcist came to save me...... Since then, the exorcist has been my mentor, who has guided me on this path and taught me how to fight these disgusting creatures...... And when I was twenty-six years old, I had a wife, and for her sake I even thought about giving up this dangerous profession and finding a beautiful village with her to live a good life. But just as I hesitated, a vampire who came to avenge me tore her body apart in front of me, and from then on I vowed to use all my remaining lives to fight those cruel demons...... Later, I became a priest, and it was God who gave me strength and gave me a new life......"
At this point, the priest drew a cross on his chest and prayed devoutly......
……
The three of us chatted for a long time, and found that the more we talked, the more we fell in love, and there was no hostility at noon, so we chatted from afternoon to evening, and invited him to Fuxi Hall for dinner, and discussed the surprise of Chinese and Western exorcism, as well as the difference between zombies and vampires......
In the next two days, everyone came and went more often, and they became more and more familiar.
Two days later, in the evening, a police car stopped at the door of Fuxi Hall, and the officer who had come to ask for help walked down.
