Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 278: Arrangements for Settlement
When Xia Shou finished dealing with the body and returned to the original house, others had already cleaned up the scene. Although it was not cleaned very thoroughly, it was impossible for an ordinary person to find out that someone had died here.

Before Xia Shou came back, they had discussed many things, the most heated debate being whether to become vampires next.

If they want to survive in this era, their current strength is far from enough.

Fal thought that he could try to become a vampire. Even if he became a vampire in this era, he could still be an ordinary person as long as he returned to his original era.

But Tobeka objected, she felt that doing so was too risky. Although becoming a vampire could gain powerful physical strength, their living habits and thoughts would change.

After ordinary people are transformed into blood servants by vampires, their appearance and thoughts will deviate greatly from the human standard in the later stage. The blood servant summoned by the baron's blood just now is a good example. They look half human and half bat. They are definitely not human in appearance, and it is unlikely that they are human inside. Moreover, if they are just low-level vampires, their movements during the day will be restricted.

Regarding this discussion, Jack was in favor of becoming a vampire, which would increase the survival rate, but he thought more carefully than Farr.

Since I want to become a vampire, how do I do it? Who does it? Which family do I live with after I become a vampire? These are all difficult questions.

In the past, vampires did not need anyone to back them up and could be lone rangers. But after being treated like this by Rosa, vampires have completed their full socialization and started to keep humans in captivity. As a result, vampires who seek blood to drink alone must be dealt with.

To put it bluntly, vampires not only drink human blood, but they also need humans for food, clothing and other necessities. They cannot weave the silk on their bodies, nor can they take care of their own manors. It is certainly impossible for them to do such dirty work as raising livestock themselves. In the end, all these things still have to be done by humans.

To vampires who have formed clans, those loners of the same clan are like wild wolves sneaking into their sheepfold to steal sheep. Losing one or two sheep is not a big deal, but if the other sheep are frightened because of this, it will be a loss.

It is precisely because of this that we now have so many rules and regulations. Vampires do not seek to suck a person to death in one go, but instead do it slowly and over a long period of time, asking ordinary people to donate blood like they are collecting protection money.

To sum up in one sentence, in this era, it is very difficult to be a vampire completely separated from the blood clan community.

"How about finding a vampire hunter?" Kurid did not agree with transforming into a vampire, but he also knew that joining a blood hunter was no less difficult than becoming a vampire.

Many years ago, most of the top vampire hunters were killed by Rosa. It is nothing but a pipe dream to want to gain power to fight against vampires from the blood hunters.

"Is it possible to succeed as an undercover agent infiltrating Red Thorn?" Lin Rize touched his chin, seriously considering the feasibility of this idea.

"Everyone should find a place to settle down first, and get familiar with the local residents in the city. Don't reveal any flaws. Completing the mission is important, but what's more important is not to reveal your identity as a future person." Xia Shou said.

"You are the boss, I will listen to you." Falpi said with a forced smile.

Xia Shou didn't care about the other party's attitude. He already knew the personalities of these special employees.

Except for Curry, who is an ordinary person who made a mistake due to impulse, the others all have mental illnesses to varying degrees. Fall is the most seriously ill patient among them. It is said that he has been smiling on his face for a long time because his expression carries a negative meme. When he has no expression on his face, it will make others feel strong negative emotions.

Although the transmission level of this meme is very low and cannot be effective for extraordinary people like them, Far has maintained the habit of smiling for many years and it no longer matters when he can stop smiling. Instead, he has learned to convey some other emotions through his smile while maintaining it.

"Fal, you are very good at hypnosis and brainwashing, right?" Xia Shou suddenly asked.

Farr nodded: "It's okay, I'm good at it for ordinary people, but not so good at it for people like you."

“Then it’s up to you to create relationships out of thin air.”

"Oh~ Lord Xia means that I can hypnotize anyone here?"

"Just establish basic interpersonal relationships and don't do anything unnecessary." "Understood, I will restrain myself." Farr smiled.

"Then everyone else should cooperate with Fal first. I will act alone later. When I'm not around, Lin Rizhe will have full command of you." Xia Shou instructed.

Lin Rizhe glanced at Xia Shou and asked, "Under what circumstances does it mean that you need our support?"

He said this not because he didn't trust Xia Shou's ability, but to have an insurance policy, just like there must be a plan B for everything.

This is true for military operations and for the Control Bureau in carrying out its missions.

No one can guarantee a 100% success rate in any action. It is okay for Xia Shou to act alone, but if he encounters obstacles during the action, then someone should help him.

"Well... not for now. Even if I fail, I still have a way to come back. My ability needs to be kept secret according to the rules, so I act alone." Xia Shou said. This excuse has already been endorsed by Shangguan Yan in his file, so no one would doubt it at all.

When Lin Rize heard what Xia Shou said, he didn't say anything more.

Xia Shou walked to the door, looked up at the moon in the sky, and decided to take action during the day.

There were still several hours before daylight, so Xia Shou decided to take a nap on the spot, firstly to recharge his energy, and secondly because he also wanted to visit the choir club.

He wanted to know whether the choir club he entered in his dream was a modern one or a 16th-century choir club when he returned to the 16th century.

Xia Shou found a flat place on the ground, lay down in front of everyone, and fell asleep.

He entered the Root Sea and saw that the depth reading had not changed much. Then he took out the choir badge and came to the club.

Seeing the club without any changes, Xia Shou knew that the special time and space he was in would not affect the status of the club.

"Yes, Yuezhuo Village should also be a special time and space, but it has no impact." Xia Shou said to himself, confirming his judgment.

But this means that there was also a heavenly choir in the 16th century. If he came into contact with the choir members in this era, would he be able to enter the choirs at two different time points in his dreams?

This strange thought flashed through Xia Shou's mind, and he put it aside as soon as he turned around.

Xia Shou came here to talk to Ximen Qing about the true delusion syndrome.

Last time, Xia Shou asked him about the information about the Sea of ​​Thirst and Desire, and Ximen Qing's knowledge was very valuable for reference.

As an expert who has studied the origin of the sea in depth and is currently compiling the "Deep Diving Manual", Xia Shou feels that he may have a special understanding of delirium and there should be at least a few records of more serious cases.

Although Xia Shou currently suffers from only hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, there is no guarantee that there will be any accidents in the future and his delusional disorder may continue to worsen. It is always good to know more about it in advance.

In addition, Ximen Qing mentioned the "ladder theory" of the seven-branched history tree last time. Xia Shou really wanted to know whether it was possible to use another ladder on the past branches to reach lower branches, that is, to find a ladder from the 16th century to a slightly more distant future, preferably to the 17th century.

Because his predecessor with the same name and surname was the one who entered Yuezhuo Village in 1685.
