Abyss Express

the day passed-

—Thirty hours to be precise.

Xueming and Meteor exchanged reading notes, and fully exchanged opinions based on the portraits and photos on the booklet, as well as the weaknesses marked by the author.

The bound version of "All Things Cracked" is a very detailed hunting guide, but due to age constraints, many ancient relics have become extinct, and some of the content has become useless.

Documents from more ancient times, such as three hundred years ago, are difficult to use as effective reference materials, because there were no cameras in that era.

Hunters rely on rumors to determine the general shape of monsters, rely on favorable terrain or powerful firearms and explosives to kill monsters, and the texts and pictures left in the end are all vague and subjective assumptions. Few forensic medical officers personally dissect the fragments of these corpses. The monster proves itself.

If the chronology is pushed back to five hundred years ago, the real body of the monster will be plunged into a thick fog, and we can only rely on the very simple and distorted first-person perspective of the hunting log to judge whether the prey is hunted or not. what.

What is certain is that——

——This hunter king is definitely not the same person as Ms. Cat Climb.

Judging from the chronology of the book "All Things Cracked", although the author uses a bound writing method to downplay his own existence as much as possible, he can still clearly feel the writing style of the hunter king in modern history, and It is closely related to the Holy Cult of Blood Butterfly.

Starting from the chronology of 1910, the introduction of Dead Gate was originally in biographical form, but it was suddenly changed to an encyclopedia format.

The biographical story format tells the autobiographical experience of ancient hunters.

Among them is the Cowboy Hunter who fights the Wendigo to the death.

There are also Eastern Rangers who kill dragons and giant crocodiles.

There are also savages who drive sleds in the polar regions, wrestle furbolgs, and fight snowmen.

The stories of these warriors have been passed down, and in the stories there are monsters' dead doors.

Then, starting from 1910, King Hunter added modern medicine and biology to the bound edition, as well as some explanations of occult alchemy and chemical medicine, and organized them into volumes and included them in this book.

So Jiang Xueming thinks——

——This should not be the work of Ms. Cat Climb.

This king hunter was already active in the underground world in 1910, perhaps a witness of the last harvest.

Back to the most important topic, back to the category of [vampire] that Jiang Xueming cares about most.

Then Xueming broke the defense——

——Because this book is too thick and too thick.

Regarding the evolution of the vampire's identity in history, there are countless branches that have been continuously derived in the underground world over time. It is like avoiding natural evolution. This kind of wonderful creature can choose other evolutionary branches. It takes ten years.

For the group of vampires, King Hunter wrote more than 400,000 words of basic science.

Among them, under the blood group of the Scandinavian race, sixteen small groups can be subdivided.

These sixteen small ethnic groups can be divided into sub-species produced by different religious beliefs and different blood-giving ceremonies. Going back to the different genes of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, many offshoot variants can also be differentiated from Semites and Asians, including these human pets or domestic animals, and domesticated hounds and war horses in martial arts can also be Become the helper of the blood family and give blood together with the master.

Blood clans are not necessarily all bat-shaped monsters, but those who can suck blood must have been favored by the ancestors, and [Holy Blood of Grace] flows in their bodies.

So Xue Ming put aside distracting thoughts, stopped paying attention to the cultural traditions or habits likes and dislikes of these blood races, and started to study this [Holy Blood of Grace].

At first, Jiang Xueming mistakenly thought that this elixir of immortality, the Holy Blood of Grace, might have something to do with Wen Bucai.

But it's not, and it's very wrong.

According to the information left by Wen Bucai in the VIP compartment, his blood is indeed a sacred object, like monk meat, which can make people live forever, but Mr. Victor is never afraid of the sun. Similar to Wen Bucai's wife and daughter, these immortals are not like the blood race described in "All Things Cracked", and they will not be wiped out when exposed to strong sunlight.

According to the records of the hunters, the Holy Blood of Grace is closely related to the Holy Cult of the Blood Butterfly, and is related to the original portrait of the Almighty Hand——

—The larva of the mad butterfly is a tried and true medicine.

Before the birth of alchemy, in the older and more mysterious era, there have long been various voodoo masters who tried to use mysterious underground viruses to seek immortality.

In the original text of "All Things Cracked", based on the hunter's years of hunting experience, he made a summary for [Sacred Blood of Grace], referring to the Vita brand as a universal drug solvent, just like glucose or saline.

Any violent disaster beast blood or virus can use the Vita imprint as a medium. After entering the human body, it can complete the ritual of the mad butterfly seizing the essence, and the human body will also grow the characteristics of a beast.

The earth dragon blood ceremony of the Skull and Bones Society is far inferior to the thousand-year-old Fang after thousands of years of evolution.

Rooted in the human body together with the [Holy Blood of Grace] is the brand of Vita that can never be eliminated.

The Mad Butterfly is both a creature and a virus.

During the patient's [October pregnancy] period, before the Vita brand broke out.

In order to survive, Mrs. Bai will continue to destroy and reorganize the physical body with the violent beast blood. The terrifying container that eventually transforms the body into a fungal proteoid.

As long as the state of [pregnancy] can be maintained, the patient can always rely on Mrs. Bai to live. Even if the patient is changed beyond recognition by animal blood, the patient can still find the correct sequence of the DNA of the ancestor of Homo sapiens from the essence, and rely on human blood and flesh to maintain Sanity.

This is also the origin of the Crazy Butterfly Saint Professor Blood Ritual and the tradition of cannibalism.

Drastic changes are taking place in the patient's body all the time, and the onset period of the Vita brand will become very short. The original normal pregnancy process may be shortened from forty-two weeks to one week.

Mrs. Bai was wrapped in thick hyphae in the monster's body, changing from a simple parasitic relationship to a lichen-like symbiotic relationship.

It is difficult for these delicate worms to settle down. If they want to provide more powerful energy to the blood beast body, they must continuously absorb human flesh and human blood to provide the human body with extremely high energy density.

When the blood race is hungry and thirsty and cannot get human flesh and blood, it will fall into a long sleep state, or Mrs. Bai has the upper hand, bursting out of the belly, tearing up the symbiotic agreement of the blessed holy blood.

If the vampires are too hungry and can’t find human blood, they will use other beast essences as meal replacements. After a few meals, their mycelium protein organisms will rearrange and combine according to the beast’s DNA to become various beasts. Chemical patients.

Solar energy kills viruses and fungi.

The survival rate of veterinary disease patients is very low. It only takes a few days for them to lose consciousness and die when they are exposed to sunlight.

Judging from the chronology of "All Things Cracked", the historical documents of the legends of gods and monsters related to blood can be traced all the way back to ancient Egypt and even earlier in the ancient era of Atlantis.

This book is already a product of forty years ago. Until today, Jiang Xueming learned from Xiao Qi that these blood races have a better formula, with new prescriptions for earth dragon and rat kidney cells, these things are added to [Mongolia] Grace and Holy Blood]——can raise a group of weird vampires who are conscious, able to live in the faint sunshine, know how to cooperate in groups to shoot and fight, and can drink coffee and eat bread as meal replacements.

There are many kinds of dead doors for these monsters.

Both Ah Xing and Xue Ming are pondering and considering.

Hunter King said——

——Silver-plated ammunition is a kind of cleaning bullet, which is the sterilization and disinfection function of silver ions.

Ultraviolet headlights are probably useless. To kill these things, the answer happens to be in Xiao Qi's hairpin, in [Windowless Small Building].

These monsters are very afraid of holy water, not because there are really gods protecting the divine power of these holy artifacts.

It was because of the marble carvings or silverware silver nails, the weak magnetic current in them broke through the water molecular beams, allowing the anti-virus holy water to be completely absorbed by the blood race's body, destroying the monster's mycelium protein from the inside.

Therefore, holy water is a kind of poison to vampires. There are also ancient legends that powerful vampires are not afraid of holy water. The monster became bigger and more ferocious.

In the era when aluminum and cobalt-iron products were popular, vampires would go crazy when they were contaminated with holy water, and heavy metal poisoning made their bodies emit a strange corpse blue color, making them even crazier.

Poisonous all-purpose insecticides like Balathon can enchant weapons, so it has become the signature of the Magic City.

Bu Meteor scratched his head: "Emotional guys, are they a group of mushroom spirits? They like humid and warm places? Can't see the light?"

"You can't say that," Jiang Xueming explained: "Just like the disaster beasts, their shapes will keep changing with the version number of the earth, just like us humans, our way of living also keeps changing with the times. This kind of monsters are born out of humans. "

Meteor: "But the gate of death has not changed."

Jiang Xueming: "The death door of fungal viruses is the death door of these monsters."

The blood race has evolved to this day. The Lady Mary that Xiaoqi saw, a lady who owns a big castle in Southsea City on the border of London, modified the formula of the holy blood of grace to make the body able to resist the weak sunlight in rainy weather.

Right now—

——Robert Tangning remained silent, holding an e-reader, and came to Jiang Xueming and Bu Liuxing.

The man looked very gloomy, and the black jade collar around his neck emitted a hazy gray light source like black mist.

Jiang Xueming didn't speak, just looked at this strange guy silently.

Bu Liuxing didn't dare to say hello, he could feel a strong spiritual pressure, which seemed to suck away all the light around this stranger.

As Tangning walked, she lowered her head and read a book. She didn't pay attention to Xue Ming and Meteor at all. He filled the passenger log with dense notes.

Meteor was curious, and took a sneak peek, feeling both surprised and happy——

——The title on the e-reader is exactly the blood race that the two brothers have been thinking about.

Originally thinking that there was a fellow who could do academic work together, Ah Xing immediately wanted to see what was written in the notebook of this blond boy.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it or not, when you see Ah Xing's whole body is frozen and stiff, and he doesn't want to offend and disturb him anymore.

In the densely packed small books, in addition to hunting skills, a list of prepared tools, and topographic maps of the two green areas of Winchester and Chichester near Southsea City.

The traces on the bottom page of the background are all written with bright red paint, each one distorted and deformed, almost tearing the paper [KILL!]

Xue Ming immediately pulled A Xing away, telling A Xing not to meddle in his own business.

Ah Xing whispered, covered his face and said in detail: "Brother Ming, what's going on with this guy!"

Xue Ming frowned and glared, before replying cautiously: "He has a strong desire to destroy in his heart, it's a blood feud."

A Xing went on to say: "His Reiatsu gives me a very bitter feeling. If I met his eyes, I would probably cry. I just saw that he and we are researching a subject, do you want to say hello to him?" ?”

Xue Ming then replied: "No need, people who have just been injured will not accept other people's kindness casually."

Ah Xing: "Why?"

Xue Ming: "It's my personal experience. When my adoptive parents talked about Bai Lu's marriage contract and Bai Lu's human flesh business, I think I should have the same expression at that time, full of aggressiveness. Who will help me?" Me, give me a helping hand, I'm afraid I will also bite Lu Dongbin like a dog, and I don't know a good heart."

Ah Xing: "But."

Xue Ming: "You just need to remember this face and his name on the passenger log. Since he bears a great hatred and is going to the same place as us to kill the same kind of monsters, we will have a chance to meet again sooner or later. "

Ah Xing nodded: "Well! Brother Ming, I understand what you mean, there is no need to say anything to him now, we just need to do it!"

Xue Ming silently wrote down the height and figure of this stranger, and finally drew a portrait and wrote down his name.

"Robert Downing."

The two embarked on a return journey.

Jiang Xueming did not let go of the book "All Things Cracked", but its bound volume is too thick——Xueming and the staff of the management office cut their teeth, asked the BOSS to talk about it, and signed a non-disclosure agreement with the Green Gold Wolf Mother , I got the electronic version of this book into my phone.

Compared with the natural death door of [Holy Blood of Grace].

Jiang Xueming is more concerned about the specific form of these blood races in modern society.

Like the Skull and Bones last time, it would be a disgrace to them to describe it as a straggler. The MLM group that formed a profit chain by selling dragon blood is just a gangster that can be wiped out with a train cannon from Guangling Zhixi.

However, Jiang Xueming believed that the vampires entrenched near Tianqiong Station might be much stronger than the Skeleton Society—not physically, but organizationally and spiritually.

These monsters attacked the waiters in the surface world, snatched the pyroxene, and dared to kill the boss's claws and half.

Operating around Skydome Station and nesting around London, they have at least one tight-knit family tree to maintain this unity, keeping each other's identities a secret, and dedicating their lives to the Blood Bat Cult.

They at least control the surrounding jurisdictions of Tianqiong Station, have stable blood banks in villages, towns, counties, cities, and county governments, and there are also middlemen who do business with these monsters in exchange for benefits.

At this moment, there is no VIP as powerful as Mr. Wen Bucai accompanying them. It may be quite difficult to get the Heart of Steel back.

Xue Ming could feel the strange spiritual pressure coming from the corundum ring. On the other side of the world, a stranger wore this ring on his hand.

From it, he could feel a joy that was almost insane, and this special spiritual experience made him faintly uneasy.

If you can't get Xiao Qi's heart of steel back, then the Pyroxene pair ring can no longer be used in the future.

He couldn't accept this weird pressure of inspiration. Maybe sooner or later, another new owner of the ring would come to him along the soul resonance and surprise him in an unexpected way.

Thinking of this, Xue Ming immediately asked Meteor.

"Do you have Jason's contact information?"

Meteor: "Yes!"

Xue Ming: "You pushed his WeChat ID to me. He is a coy person. I will take the initiative to add him."

Meteor: "Good!"

The train rushed towards Nine Realms Station.

With ten fingers, Xue Ming quickly typed in English on the small keyboard, asking brother Jason for a favor.

——Jason is currently receiving training in the ground world of Tianqiong Station. If there is a chance, Xue Ming hopes that this inspired bluestone person can investigate the local customs of Tianqiong Station. It is best to clearly divide the school forces in the site under the jurisdiction, regardless of the underworld and the white way.

When Jason heard these requests, he didn't reply for a long time.

Xueming can only be seen from the prompt in the WeChat UI column.

[the other party is typing]

Immediately afterwards, it seemed that a lot of words were typed, and a lot of words were deleted.

Finally Jason Megan sent a voice message.

The tone is arrogant and emotional.

"Hmph! It's a trivial matter!"

Meteor became happy when he heard this voice.

"Ouch! This guy is quite proud!"

Jiang Xueming: "Ah Xing, this time, we will split up."

Bu Meteor was puzzled: "Why?"

But ten seconds of effort——

——Mr. Jason has already drawn the terrain map, and the scanned copy has been sent to Jiang Xueming's mobile phone.

Xueming saw it at a glance, and he had a clue in his heart.

"The Blood Bat Sect needs blood, and there must be an agent to help them do this dirty work. I will follow this line to check it all the way. If I can enter their social circle and understand their living habits, things will become easier and easier to do. .”

"Oh! I see, Brother Ming, you are worried about my mouth leaking air."

"So we split up—" Jiang Xueming pointed to two topographic maps, which are the blood bank of the hospital on the outskirts of London, the satellite towns in the underground world jurisdiction, and the relatively primitive development area, "——Skydome Station is a large transportation hub. Not everyone owns Mrs. Bai products, and the emergency room at the station also needs blood."

Bu Meteor asked impatiently: "Then what should I do?"

"I want you to go to the cemetery." Jiang Xueming pointed to a bright red area near the outskirts of Tianqiong Station: "Jason marked on the map that this is the place where passengers from various regions return to Tianqiong Station to assess the value of prey and discard useless corpses— ——If any passengers die, they will be buried here, and the Qingjin guards will handle the corpses of the passengers uniformly. However, the structure of the large cemetery is complicated, and many small cemeteries have been derived from it. Residents in nearby towns have built similar ones Mass graves where bones are buried."

Meteor became excited: "The blood race will send humans to steal corpses! If I'm lucky, I will meet these grave diggers?"

Jiang Xueming: "There will be danger, but you are not afraid of danger."

Meteor smashed his mouth and looked eager to fight: "Are these guys good? I'm getting excited!"

Jiang Xueming patted Meteor on the shoulder, telling Meteor to be quiet: "It won't be very powerful. If it's a high-value target, it won't be such a rough job."

Bu Meteor: "But I can catch them! Press them and find out the whereabouts of their employers?"

Jiang Xueming: "That's what I think. Wearing the battle armor I gave you, your efficiency in killing monsters will be much higher than mine."

Bu Liuxing had a smug expression, and said without boasting, "Of course! This is my specialty!"

Jiang Xueming talked about insurance measures: "Officer Jessica's suitcase is on the way."

Bu Meteor: "Huh?"

Jiang Xueming: "She entrusted Nanami to pack a bag and mail her head to the Nine Realms Station. She follows you. You should act together and take care of each other."

Bu Meteor: "But... Didn't Chief Jessica have undergone a head transplant operation, is there only a head left? What can you do for me? How did she pass the security check?"

Jiang Xueming: "She has more than 20 years of combat experience at least. She has more street fighting experience than us, and she has a keener sense of crisis than us. If she wants you to ring the bell, you must ring the bell. 3301 will be in advance Sky Station is on standby, if necessary, I will call her to go with you, as for how to pass the security check—I don’t know.”

Bu Liuxing: "I understand! Then what do you do? Brother Ming? Will you take your sister-in-law with you? You also need someone to take care of you!"

Jiang Xueming: "I will let Xiao Qi and my little finger stay at Tianqiong Station. When I am acting alone, I will not summon them. If my identity is exposed and I encounter a powerful enemy that cannot be dealt with, my means of escape are stronger than my combat ability too Too much. At worst, go back to the station and change your account and try again.”

Bu Liuxing had a complicated expression: "Well, brother Ming, are you going to be an undercover agent?"

"It's not undercover. I don't know if these blood-sucking monsters have the ability to detect lies, and I won't say a single lie." Jiang Xueming explained in detail: "Like the big shopkeeper you met at Bokeguan last time, there are also people looking for Ms. Bloodhound, they can use pheromones to tell whether we are lying or not by licking sweat and tears with their tongues. I am afraid that blood races also have these abilities-so I will not tell lies that cannot withstand scrutiny."

Bu Liuxing was even more nervous: "Brother Ming, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Xueming felt that the explanation was too complicated, so he didn't intend to explain the details to Meteor: "You just need to take care of your own tasks, and we will go forward on two fronts - if you can follow the small cemetery all the way to the blood bat's lair, then contact the boss immediately , Tell Guangling Zhixi's good brothers to work overtime during the Chinese New Year."

Bu Meteor: "Yes!"

Jiang Xueming: "If I follow the blood bank, I can touch the trading place of middlemen and blood bats all the way, meet the director cadres of the blood bat sect, follow the clues to find Xiao Qi's pyroxene, and find out which monster owns it , I will try to steal it, or more directly, chop off this guy's arm, and then run away with the booty, if I can't escape, I will hide and wait for your support."

Bu Meteor: "Yes!"

"A plan is just a plan, and it will change according to the actual situation at any time." Jiang Xueming finally explained: "This is the most ideal situation. If we talk less and do more, there will always be a way."

Bu Liuxing thought about it, but he still didn't express his worries, and he didn't say "I can't beat it, I can't escape, what should I do".

Jiang Xueming: "What are you worried about? Let me guess?"

Bu Meteor: "Guess, Brother Ming"

Jiang Xueming: "We don't have the confidence to get out."

Bu Meteor: "Yes."

Jiang Xueming: "If we are caught by these monsters, the essence on our bodies is so attractive, we will definitely be sucked dry."

Bu Meteor: "Yes"

Jiang Xueming: "The best result is to be transformed into a vampire, with a fashionable skin, cold white complexion, smoky makeup and bags under the eyes. The cat saw the pain mask, and the woman burst into tears when she saw it."

Bu Meteor: "Yes"

Jiang Xueming: "I don't think about these superfluous things. These meaningless assumptions will make my movements slow when I raise my gun to aim, and the blows I swing will no longer be fatal."

Bu Meeoxing also got rid of hesitation and became calm.

"Hmm! Brother Ming, I was actually thinking just now, if one of you and I was poisoned by the [Mun's blood] and turned into a monster."

Jiang Xueming: "Damn it, can you say something auspicious with your mouth?"

Bu Meteor: "Hahahahahaha! Don't say it, don't say it, I won't say it."

Jiang Xueming: "You know, I can still work at [JoeStar] with a different skin, maybe it's a good thing for the boss?"

Bu Meteor stretched out his hand, firm and persistent.

"It's up to people to make things happen!"

Jiang Xueming clapped hands with him and held each other tightly.

"That's right! It's up to people to make things happen!"
