Chapter 256 The Age of Vampires
Su Weiyu's lips curled up slightly. It felt so good to have someone to talk to.

Thinking of her lonely life all these years, she really wanted to throw herself into Xia Shou's arms and cry, and let Xia Shou hold her tightly. She hadn't been hugged by anyone for a long, long time. No one patted her shoulder to comfort her, and no one touched her head.

She always felt that even though no one could see, she was trying to do the right thing. But just like there was no teacher to grade the exam and she didn't have the standard answers, she had no idea whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

But now Teacher Xia Shou appeared and gave her full marks, so she finally felt relieved.

Su Weiyu secretly glanced at Xia Shou and really wanted him to hug her, but she finally held back.

"Have breakfast. I've already had it." Su Wei Yu reminded softly.

"Hmm." Xia Shou opened the tofu pudding sealed with plastic wrap, which was still warm.

"By the way, the minister has given me a new task, to go to the Blood Dynasty of the 16th century. The file has been given to me." Xia Shou opened the drawer and handed the file bag he had read to Su Weiyu.

Su Weiyu opened the file and started reading. The first page that caught her eye was an introduction to vampires, a large number of vampire photos, and the physical changes in various stages of humans' transformation into vampires.

The Blood Dynasty was a period in history completely ruled by vampires. The blood clan, nobles, and commoners formed a stable captive relationship. Vampires had a high status, and most of them were even well-known and lived among the ordinary people, like aristocrats among aristocrats.

Of course, vampires are also divided into different levels, because the status of vampires in the tribe and society is often directly linked to the power of their own bloodline. Therefore, judging their strength by their titles has a very high accuracy rate.

Over time, the title of nobility came to represent a vampire's power.

Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, and ordinary vampires without titles.

Nowadays, the descriptions of vampire weaknesses in film and television dramas mostly come from ordinary vampires in the Blood Dynasty period. Ordinary vampires are afraid of sunlight, silver utensils, garlic, holy water, crosses, and high temperatures. They also cannot eat ordinary human food and can only drink human blood.

They have infinite strength, acute five senses, night vision, and excellent wound healing ability, but they must have enough blood to replenish their energy.

These ordinary vampires are crudely made slaves of the noble vampires. As time goes by, they will gradually lose their sanity, and their bodies will slowly change from human form to that of bats. Their fingers will become longer, and flesh membranes used for flying will gradually grow on the underside of their arms and arms. Their ears will also become longer. These changes in form are photographed and recorded in the files.

Only a very small number of them can become nobles after hard work. After becoming nobility, the first weakness they overcome is the sun. They go from being extremely afraid of the sun to being unable to expose themselves to the sun for a long time, otherwise they will quickly get sunburned.

In addition, they also began to develop a corresponding resistance to religious props. Unblessed crosses could not have any restraining effect on them. In addition to their need to eat blood regularly, their taste buds also began to be able to taste human food again.

As their strength increases, their weaknesses will gradually disappear. When they reach the level of Count, sunlight can no longer harm vampires at all. It can only stifle the development of their extraordinary physical abilities. From then on, the stronger they are, the weaker the restraining effect of sunlight will be.

But fortunately, the sun always has a suppressing effect on vampires. Even a duke-level vampire will have his power greatly weakened under the sun.

The most important thing to watch out for when traveling to the 16th century is vampires, as there are vampires everywhere.

But because vampires have an absolute advantage in society, laws of order between humans and blood clans have also been established. Therefore, the relationship between vampires and mortals is not hostile, but more like the relationship between humans and dogs, a kind of sensible and intelligent pet.

Some vampires even take good care of civilians and behave like gentlemen, much better than the human nobles who trample on the dignity of civilians. Their main enemies are vampire hunters.

Therefore, the official advice is not to get into conflicts with noble vampires unless necessary.

In addition, due to the mission reasons, there is a high probability that they will come into contact with two other anomalies on the way to their final destination.

Although the Control Bureau has archive records of these two anomalies, they were solved hundreds of years ago, so they cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate and can only be used as a reference. One of these two anomalies is the Shadow Demon.

The other one is the rib-cutting old man.

Xia Shou's task was to go to a fixed location, take out something, and then arrange a ceremony.

The assignment didn't say what it was.

"What's in this bag?" Su Weiyu asked, pointing to another bag.

"It contains information about the foreign aid mission. The level 5 finisher Xiana hopes that I can assist her in completing a mission. It is said to be very dangerous. I am considering whether to do it. I haven't read it yet, but it is said that it requires killing a monster that survives in multiple time periods." Xia Shou replied.

"Well... who's going with you this time?"

"Ke Hen, the new member of the department, and another person will meet us the day before the mission begins."

Su Weiyu frowned when she heard this: "Only sending so few people for such a dangerous mission?"

“It seems to be related to a rule of the history tree. If those people who have been constantly circulating in the past find us modern people, they will find a way to replace us and return to the present.

Before that period of time is reset, the person who replaces us can continue to live in the real world, and we can only leave the past history after he comes back.

Therefore, when carrying out missions on the Seven-branch History Tree, you cannot use the human wave tactic, otherwise it will be a mess. "

Xia Shou shared with Su Weiyu the common sense he learned from the "Seven-branch Historical Tree Work Guidelines".

"Oh, so that's why we only sent out the most elite people." Su Weiyu smiled and glanced at Xia Shou, gently patted his shoulder, and praised him indirectly, "The fact that you were sent to carry out this kind of mission shows that the minister values ​​you very much!"

Xia Shou slurped his tofu pudding and said with great self-awareness, "It's not that I'm so good, it's just that the fragment of the mark of the history tree is on me, so I have to go. Maybe my function is to move key items from the past to the present, like a bag for carrying things."

Su Weiyu scratched her head awkwardly and changed the subject: "Then what about the newcomer named Ke Hen? Is she very strong?"

"No, she's an auxiliary psychic. Her abilities are indeed powerful in investigations. Of course, I think the minister sent her along not just because of her abilities." Xia Shou recalled that when investigating the human skin clothing murder case, Ke Hen noticed someone following him.

Xia Shou knew that it was definitely not Ke Hen's illusion or misjudgment. Someone was monitoring him, and Ke Hen, who was traveling with him, sensed it.

Ke Hen may have an exceptionally good perception.

"Blood Dynasty..."

This task is quite suitable for him.

In an era when the belief in the Blood God is extremely rampant, there must be a large number of Blood God relics and power related to the Blood God. For Xia Shou, who is immersed in a sea of ​​endless blood, it is like a river fish entering a well-prepared fish pond. As long as he is not caught away, he will definitely be well fed.

Maybe, I can save up all the tickets in one go this time.
