Partners usually did their missions together. It was because they were familiar with each other and didnāt need to get used to each other to work together.
A mission, carried out by blood hunters unfamiliar with each other, was much more likely to have slip-ups.
That was why Ning Shu asked about Touroās partnerās whereabouts. It was unusual to look for a new partner unless oneās partner had died.
Touro shrugged. āYou know Casey and hisā¦ hobbies. Who knows which womanās bed heās in right now?ā
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Casey was a well-known manwhore within the blood hunter order. The moment his mission was over, heād be off for a good time.
As a blood hunter, he lived his entire life walking on a knife-edge, so it was understandable that he felt immense psychological pressure and chose to blow through his money while he still could.
Ning Shu took a sip of her milk. She then asked, āWhy do you need a person with type O blood? Does this vampire specifically target girls with type O blood?ā
āBingo. According to our information, all the dead girls had type O blood,ā Touro said.
āOur enemy is very cunning. They couldnāt catch this vampire at all. Some policemen even died while trying to do that.ā
Ning Shu nearly choked. āYou want me to be bait?ā
Touro nodded. āDonāt worry, Casey and I will definitely protect you.
āAnd weāll split the reward three ways,ā Touro said.
Ning Shu couldnāt decide whether she wanted to go or not. If she went, it would eat up time and she wouldnāt be able to cultivate.
She had a more powerful enemy to consider: Perry, the vampire prince.
But if she went, sheād get to learn more about the vampires.
She was lucky enough to barely escape from Perryās claws last time. She needed to understand the gap in strength between Perry and other vampires.
Seeing Ning Shuās troubled face, Touro said, āDonāt worry, thereāll definitely be plenty of money. We definitely need a blood hunter for this though since a normal girl would definitely be scared and just freeze on the spot.ā
Finally, Ning Shu nodded and agreed to go.
Ning Shu leaned closer to Touro and asked, āThereās something I want to ask you.ā
āWhatās the matter?ā Touro took a sip of his wine.
āIāve always been curious about where the holy water we got came from.ā
Touro didnāt even think about it before he answered, āThe church distributes it to us.ā
āWhere did the church get it from?ā Ning Shu asked.
āWell, it was given by God,ā Touro replied.
āYou believe that there is a God?ā Ning Shu couldnāt help asking.
Touro shrugged his shoulders. āOf course. I mean, vampires exist, and Cain, the first vampire, was even cursed by God.ā
Ning Shu: ā¦
Ning Shu didnāt really believe in God, and the holy water seemed to be more like water full of energy. ASC
This water was not harmful to ordinary people, but it was harmful to vampires.
Vampires were blessed with supernatural powers. Could humans also have magicians and witches?
What if the holy water was magic cast by a magician? šršš²š ebšošÆel.com
Ning Shu was a rookie blood hunter; these things were way above her station.
Ning Shu finished eating the hamburger, drank the remaining milk in one gulp, and said to Touro, āIāll go back and pack up.ā
The reason why Ning Shu decided to take on this mission after all was to try and find some cinnabar and yellow talisman paper while she was out. Since spells worked, cinnabar and talisman paper would probably also work.
But this was not the East; these things were rare here.
Vampires were afraid of sunlight, crosses, and garlic.
However, it seemed that some forms of energy could also destroy them.
āOkay, Iāll wait for you at the gate of the manor.ā
Ning Shu returned to her room and found Mina inside. She was ragged and covered with dust, with her suitcase at her feet.
She seemed to have come back in a hurry.
