Chapter 4 It's time to open the main story
Time passed quietly like a finger flow, and a week passed unconsciously. Originally, Zhou Yao couldn't stay for such a long time, but the caravan hadn't arrived for some reason, and I heard others say that it was dragged by the town in the previous location, and he was learning talisman skills, so he postponed the schedule.
During this week, Zhou Yao followed Uncle Lei every day to learn the basics of self-protection, and Uncle Lei spared no effort to teach him. Of course, whenever he has free time, he will pester Uncle Lei to ask questions, and he will not miss a chance to learn what he doesn't know. Lei Ruxue, who often came to play with him, puffed up two small steamed buns all day long.
The ancient martial arts taught by Uncle Lei is a kind of derivation of Collapse Fist, which is designed to move amazingly without moving, paying attention to the mobilization of the strength of the whole body, and the explosion of penetrating strength, which is a kind of boxing method that pursues the destructive power of one click.
The more he studied with Uncle Lei, the more shocked Zhou Yao's heart gushed out, Uncle Lei was much stronger than he thought, there were decades of precipitation in talisman alone, not to mention the magic background that Uncle Lei showed when he taught him to use magic dresses, he definitely didn't look like the owner of a ramen shop.
On this day, after the daily training, Uncle Lei gave him the task of attending a meeting of the town committee instead, which was to discuss the recent disappearance of people in the town. At first, Zhou Yao didn't want to go, he had to hurry up and absorb as much knowledge as possible, how could he have time to attend any meetings, but he was instigated by Uncle Lei's iron fist.
As for why Uncle Lei didn't go, Zhou Yao was definitely too lazy to go because he was too troublesome.
The meeting was held in the town's chapel, which was owned by an elderly priest named Kark, who had been here since he was young, and could be said to be one of the oldest members of the town.
The so-called town committee is a management body composed of magicians in the town, and it is said that it is a magician, but in fact it is just a group of apprentices who can do magic, and those who are talented have already gone out. But even so, they were the strongest force in the town.
"It's boring."
Looking at the crowd of people sitting around the church, Zhou Yao yawned boredly. I wanted to chat with Sakiya to pass the time.,Only to remember that there were several people sitting around.,Talking to the air would be regarded as psychotic.,So I had to give up.。
In desperation, Zhou Yao began to look at the surrounding environment.
This church looks a little old, because it is very well cleaned, and there is no sense of dilapidation.
However, he looked around several times, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt a sense of incongruity, and after thinking about it, he realized that there was not a single cross in this church.
At first he thought that the Church of this world did not believe in the cross, but upon closer inspection, he found that this was not the case, and traces of the cross could be seen in many places.
"There's enough weirdness about this church."
Zhou Yao muttered strangely, and was heard by the young man next to him, and the other party immediately showed a look of contempt.
"What's strange about the church, at first glance, it's a little ghost who doesn't understand anything, I really don't know why Uncle Lei asked you to attend instead of him."
After saying that, he smacked his mouth, and his attitude was very bad.
Zhou Yao glanced back, and immediately found the information of this goods from his memory, it seemed to be a resident who moved from the next town a few years ago, he couldn't remember what it was called, but he remembered that the other party always looked for opportunities to taunt him as soon as he ran into him, especially in the presence of Lei Ruxue.
After sorting out the cause and effect, Zhou Yao decisively chose to ignore it, he didn't bother to deal with this mad dog.
Finding himself being ignored, the young man's face became ugly.
"Hey, stinky boy, ...... Not!! ”
The sound of the seat slamming sounded, and the remaining words of the young man were directly pressed back by Zhou Yao, from a physical level.
Zhou Yao shook his hand and grabbed the young man's face, but the other party didn't have time to react and was slammed to the ground by him.
The power of the instant explosion was so great that the young man passed out directly.
"I hate flies buzzing in my ears."
Zhou Yao shook his hand casually, as if he had done a trivial matter, as if there were really flies flying in his ears.
The original Zhou Yao will endure your ridicule does not mean that I will too, respect is mutual, if you respect me, then I will also respect you, arrogant fools, in today's world, they will not live long. Not to mention that he still has a crooked idea about Lei Ruxue.
After the young man passed out, everyone looked at him twice and ignored him, leaving him lying on the ground, which shows how bad the popularity of this thing is in the town.
After a while, the owner of the church, Father Kark, arrived belatedly, and the moment he appeared, everyone consciously stopped talking.
"Ahem, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Father Kark walked slowly to the center of the church, his old age with a kind smile on his face, his soft gaze passing over everyone, and a slight pause in the middle of Zhou Yao's place.
"I can't thank you enough to come to today's meeting."
"Where is it busy, very idle."
"Something, you speak."
"The priest is so polite."
…………
Words like these come and go, and it shows that Father Kark's reputation in the town is not ordinary.
"I think you already know what you're talking about today, and we have to deal with the frequent disappearances in town."
Everyone in the room fell silent, and for a moment the tension spread, and as if trying to dissipate the atmosphere, Father Kark clapped his hands to focus everyone's eyes on him.
"A similar situation is happening not only here but in several nearby towns, and I suspect that this is a conspiracy against humans, and that the black hand of the conspiracy may be the Dead Apostles, and I suspect that there is a hateful vampire hiding in our town as well."
"Vampire!!"
The moment the ominous words came out of Father Kark's mouth, everyone's faces showed shock and panic, and a trace of surprise flashed in Zhou Yao's eyes.
Dead Apostles...... A species that feeds on blood, known to ordinary people as "vampires", is an enemy second only to humans after the undead.
They maintain immortality by sucking blood, and any human who has been sucked by blood may mutate into ghouls and eventually become the new Dead Apostles as they evolve.
In this respect, it is more harmful than the undead.
According to Uncle Lei, the base camp of the Dead Apostles is one of the 18th districts of the original human survival area, and it is now named the "breeding area". This shows the power of the Dead Apostles.
He didn't know much about what had happened recently, but it would be a bit of a bad thing if it was a Dead Apostle. According to the priest, similar incidents occurred in nearby towns, and the caravan did not come here because of the incident.
"Don't worry, as a servant of the Lord, I will never allow the evil Dead Apostles to be the victim again."
Father Kark smiled calmly to calm everyone's emotions, and as his words fell, three figures appeared at the entrance of the church.
"These three are helpers sent by the church, and I also learned from them about other towns."
Zhou Yao, who was sitting in the crowd, heard this, and looked at the three visitors who suddenly appeared, the one on the left was named Sosya, a little man with short black hair who looked somewhat neutral, and his body was unknown whether it was a man or a woman. The one in the middle is called Bai Mei, the reddish-brown ** royal sister with big wavy hair, and the nun dress worn on her not only does not have a sense of sacredness, but is full of temptation. The last one, named Fendor, was a big, muscular man with long bangs in his hair that he couldn't see his eyes.
"Priest, are you sure that the three people you are looking for are members of the church and not members of some cult?"
Of course, Zhou Yao didn't say this, and her soul of complaining has not reached the point of recklessness.
It's no fun to think of Dead Apostles as a heretic before you find him.
While he was thinking, Fendor, the big man of the trio, spoke first.
"Now that we are here, we will not let the Dead Apostles run rampant any longer, may the glory of the Lord bless you."
"During this time, I hope you stay at home and don't go anywhere, it's not safer outside than here, and when we came over, we saw several wandering ghouls looking for prey."
Fendo said with a stern face, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"In order to catch the Dead Apostles as soon as possible, people have a request for something, and I don't know if any of our brothers are willing to take us around and explore the range of activities of the Dead Apostles."
Bai Mei stood up and said, she stretched out her index finger and stroked her lips, leaned forward, and suddenly saw a mountain peak of white flowers, which made most people's hearts beat faster and lingered.
"Are all nuns so open now? I'm kind of tempted to join. ”
Zhou Yao, in the spirit of not looking at white and not looking at nothing, generously feasted his eyes, which provoked the spirit of the sixteenth night Sakuya to roll his eyes.
No one including the two of them noticed that an invisible green light flashed in the eyes of Bai Mei, who was making a seductive gesture, and all the people who were staring at her body were stared at by the green light, and their bodies trembled slightly, except for Zhou Yao.
Even the young man who was unconscious, I don't know when he came to his senses, was sucked away by the gesture of Bai Mei's temptation, completely ignoring Zhou Yao next to him.
"It's not good, I'm a little excited to see it, don't look at it. Don't look at indecent acts. ”
Zhou Yao hurriedly took his eyes off Bai Mei's body, and muttered repeatedly in his heart to dispel the sense of addiction that had arisen just now.
With the arrival of the three Dead Apostle experts, there was no point in the meeting going any further, and it didn't take long for the meeting to be dismissed.
After the meeting was dismissed, a group of big men scrambled to gather around the trio, their attitudes were extremely enthusiastic, and in the blink of an eye, only Zhou Yao and Father Kak were left in the church.
"Son, aren't you going with them?"
Father Kark watched the group of people leave, and then set his eyes on Zhou Yao.
"Me? Not much interest. ”
Zhou Yao stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, then waved his hand and left.
A hint of surprise flashed in Father Kark's eyes.
