Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 257 History Learning
Before heading to the history tree, you need to make a lot of preparations, such as a cross to deal with vampires, holy water props, and clothes that match that era.

Once, someone did not dress up carefully to disguise himself when exploring history, and went back to the past dressed as a modern person. As a result, he was quickly recognized by the local natives. Once the news spread, the extraordinary people who knew how to seize the qualification to leave in the past immediately found and killed the future traveler, took away his place to return to the modern era, and passed through the door in the tree branch and arrived in the modern era.

Therefore, disguise is very necessary. Not only must one disguise oneself perfectly in terms of clothing and appearance, but one must also learn the language, behavior, and local customs and etiquette to ensure that one can perfectly blend into the times.

It was of course impossible to learn from scratch, and they all looked Asian, which was very conspicuous in the West in the 16th century, so they needed to work hard on their identity background. But also thanks to their identity as foreigners, their accents did not have to completely conform to the local accents of that period.

And because you are a foreigner, you won’t feel strange about the local customs.

Xia Shou’s task today is to cooperate with the experts arranged by Shangguan Yan to conduct preliminary training and camouflage.

"Then I don't have to learn, right? After all, humans can't see me, and those who can see me are not humans." Su Wei Yu raised her eyebrows and said with relief.

Xia Shou soaked the dough sticks in soy milk, took a bite, and showed an envious expression on his face: "And you can wear normal clothes and carry normal hot weapons, which is very convenient in many ways."

"Hey~ I'm the one who's leading the team, I will support you!" Su Wei Yu comforted happily, feeling happy that she could be of great use.

After breakfast, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and got dressed with Alice's help.

Xia Shou's clothes are always clean and tidy, and have a light mint scent. If you meet Xia Shou for the first time, you will definitely think that he is a person who pays great attention to his appearance.

But in fact, when Xia Shou was in high school, he could sometimes wear a piece of clothing for a week without sweating. The reason why he can dress so cleanly and decently now is simply because Alice washes his clothes every day, folds them neatly and puts them in different categories, and puts mint fragrance in the closet.

Shangguan Yan's morning schedule for Xia Shou was to learn the mysterious knowledge of the Blood Dynasty from history experts, gain a basic understanding of the social rules of the time, and practice how to use a matchlock gun in conjunction with religious props to quickly kill ordinary vampires.

In the afternoon, Xia Shouze would go to the studio to paint, trying to draw a qualified self-portrait to replace the one that was burned last time in Edinburgh, so that Dorian Gray's pocket watch could be used again.

After breakfast, Xia Shou went to the history department of the research department. Halfway there, he realized that he had forgotten to go to the library in advance to borrow the textbooks he would use today. So the originally ample time suddenly became tight. After he got the textbooks, he had to run to reach the research department as soon as possible.

He walked through the bustling crowd and tripped over something at a corner. It felt like he had kicked over a trash can, but the fleshy ground under his feet didn't feel like a trash can.

After a brief moment of confusion, Xia Shou instantly realized the truth, but it was too late. Angry curses were already ringing in his ears.

"Damn it! Are you walking so fast in a hurry to be reincarnated?! People with low IQ should look down at the ground when they walk!" Dr. Modise, who was kicked to the ground, got up while cursing, and moved his funny short legs to pick up the documents on the ground one by one.

He cursed as he picked up the trash, and the curly hair on his big head rose and fell with the rhythm of his curses.

The surrounding employees also took the initiative to come forward to help. In the Control Bureau, although the doctor had a bad temper and a bad personality, no one disrespected him. Moreover, the longer people worked there, the more grateful they were to him. The reason is hard to explain in one sentence.

"Yes, sorry!"

Xia Shou's face flushed and he quickly bent down to help clean up. He really wanted to ask the director why he didn't give Dr. Modise a personal assistant. For people with special physical conditions like Dr. Modise, daily movement is an objective reality. If there is someone as impatient as himself walking in the crowd, there is no guarantee that they will not notice him.

A rare talent like Dr. Modise should be given special attention. It is inconvenient to let him act alone like this.

But Xia Shou quickly thought that perhaps the doctor himself didn't want to be followed. After all, the other party showed great self-esteem when they first met.

When Xia Shou picked up the first piece of paper, Modis suddenly grabbed Xia Shou's wrist, raised his head, and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"It's you……"

A sly, curious light flashed in Modise's eyes: "Boy, you've been very busy lately."

"Ah?" "I looked for you three times, but Shangguan said you were busy every time. Can you tell me what you have been doing these days?"

"I... am at work." Xia Shou was confused. Anyway, he had never heard the minister say that Modise was looking for him.

"Very good, I hope you can spare some time today. You should know that I am not that idle either. If you want to increase the success rate of the implantation of No. 57-103, then come to my laboratory tonight, take off your pants and let me take a good look at your butt!" Modis said in a commanding tone, then let go of Xia Shou's hand.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Shou looked confused.

"Are you pretending to be stupid in front of me? Those idiots in Yuezhuo Village won't tell me, so do you want to be a fool too? If you don't tell me, someone else will come and ask you!" Dr. Modise snorted coldly.

At this time, Xia Shou suddenly remembered that 57-103 was the banned item number of [Scorpion Spine].

He immediately knew what Modis meant when he asked him to take off his pants.

"I understand." Xia Shou answered obediently.

Modis glanced at Xia Shou arrogantly, took the documents handed over by others with his radish-like fingers, snorted coldly, and walked away with a funny swaying step.

"Why does the doctor want to look at your butt?" Su Weiyu asked curiously.

"Didn't I have a full physical examination in the medical department before? I guess he saw that comprehensive physical examination report and became interested in Idrisu's surgical techniques." Xia Shou replied.

Before, when he was in Moonburn Village, he asked Idrisu to help him implant the coccyx of the scorpion spine. Perhaps Idrisu's surgery was too perfect, so it attracted the attention of Modise.

Now he had to rack his brains to come up with an excuse to fool people. He couldn't just confess that he used Merlin's House to seal Idrisu.

While thinking, Xia Shou had already pushed open the soundproof door of the history department. As soon as he entered the door, the noisy quarreling sound surrounded Xia Shou.

As expected, he was late.

The history department's office did not have the academic atmosphere he had imagined. It was a mess. The large desk in the middle was occupied by coffee-stained documents. A half-eaten cake and a shrunken apple were forgotten in the corner between two piles of folders. It seemed that no one had cared about them for several days.

The office was noisy, with one group of people arguing fiercely about academic topics, while another group was wearing headphones, immersed in their own world, carefully translating documents.

Turning around, Xia Shou saw a man in a plaid shirt arguing with a short, thin, freckled young man, their faces flushed with anger.

Just as Xia Shou was about to turn his attention away from them, a name from the conversation between the two floated into his ears and drew his attention over.

"It's a fight! A gladiatorial fight! That's completely nonsense, buddy! It's an unfounded guess!" The man in the plaid shirt clenched his fists and repeated his opinion with great certainty, "Just use your brain to think about it. Why is he called the undefeated beast? Why is his 'bones like blood, always bright red'? It's because he desires bloody fights!"

Murong Shangjin shook his head repeatedly in denial, opened his hands to calm his colleague's emotions, and emphasized his own point of view.

"I think this is too arbitrary. Mating is also possible. I think the theme of "Song of the Red Cave" is actually mating and reproduction." Murong Shangjin said calmly and firmly.

"No, how could it be about mating? The text about mating only takes up such a small section on that page!" the other man retorted impatiently.

Xia Shou pricked up his ears and moved closer.
