"Oh! Brother Yin, we haven't seen each other for a while! How are you doing?"
Yin Xiuqiang smiled, avoided Benjamin's intimate hug, and said: "It's not that good, it's not that bad, it's about the same as usual."
After saying hello, Benjamin looked at Rowe aside, his face full of surprise.
"Who is this brother?"
"Luo Wei, my name is Luo Wei, Inspector of West Kowloon Miscellaneous Section."
"Oh, I am still a police detective who serves the citizens. This church of mine has always been very welcoming to members of the police community. Are you right, Brother Yin?"
"Of course, of course."
Yin Xiu responded dryly, thinking that no matter how greedy the cashiers were, they would not come to the church to collect fees.
They just have bad morals, not bad minds.
Who knew that in this shabby-looking, small neighborhood church, which detective or congressman would bring their whole family to the church to chant scriptures on Sundays?
Even the local police officers, those who worship their ancestors and Guan Erye, often go to the church to listen to Jesus for a long time in order to please their foreign Japanese bosses.
How dare those police officers be so rude when they arrive at a church?
The momentum they used to bully the neighbors and merchants was gone. How could the priests not welcome them?
After saying hello, Benjamin held a candlestick, welcomed them in, sat down, and gave them a few saltine crackers and red wine.
"Brother Yin, when you come to see me, it always seems to be late at night, when the surrounding residents are immersed in sleep."
Yin Xiu grinned, "Priest, you are always awake when others are asleep, aren't you?"
"That's because I'm jet lagged," Benjamin replied.
"Priest, have you just returned from abroad?" Luo Wei couldn't help but ask.
"No, except for returning to Europe to visit relatives the year before last, I haven't even been out in the light of day in the past few months."
"..."
Luo Wei looked at Yin Xiu. At this time, he finally understood why Yin Xiu said that it was enough to just chat with Benjamin and not take it seriously.
Taking a sip of red wine, Benjamin asked: "Brother Yin, why did you come to see me this time?"
Yin Xiu said with a smile: "I can't come and chat with you if I have nothing to do?"
Benjamin obviously didn't believe his rhetoric and said calmly: "The old man will be happy if you come to chat with him, but if you have anything to ask the old man for help, the old man won't be unhappy either. Let's just say it, it's because of the vampire. Things?”
"Yes and no."
"Yes, it means, no, it means no." Benjamin propped up his chin.
Luo Wei didn't have time to watch the two of them playing riddles. He leaned forward, stared at Benjamin and said, "Priest, actually, I am half a vampire."
"Huh!?"
Benjamin frowned, looked at Luo Wei, and then at Yin Xiu.
After getting Yin Xiu's nod of confirmation, he still felt that this might be some kind of trendy joke, so he took off the silver cross from his neck.
"Brother Luo, I'm offended."
Benjamin spread out Rowe's palm and carefully placed the cross in his hand.
The reaction he imagined did not appear, and Luo Wei's palm remained intact.
"This is?"
Benjamin looked at Yin Xiu.
"Wrong, this priest, you have to do this."
Yin Xiu grabbed most of the bottle of holy water placed aside and poured it directly into Luo Wei's hand.
laugh! !
Like the sound of barbecue, white smoke is rising.
Luo Wei was as stunned as Benjamin at first, but then he realized what he was doing and shrank to the ground with a distorted face.
"Look, this priest is not a vampire, but he is a vampire, so I say he is half a vampire."
Benjamin glanced at the cross in his hand again and couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing, it's amazing! There is such a miracle in this world."
After a while, Luo Wei got up from the ground, breathing heavily, "Yin Xiu! You brought me here just to do experiments?"
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "Am I such a boring person?"
"You don't look like that."
Luo Wei glared at him, "You are like that!"
"Okay, okay, grandpa said that all people are his people, brothers, we must not quarrel over trivial matters."
Benjamin stood between the two of them and asked Luo Wei: "Brother Luo, if possible, please explain to me the cause and effect truthfully and in detail."
Of course what he was talking about was the reason why Luo Wei was in this state.
Luo Wei came here just to understand the changes that had taken place in his body, so he couldn't wait to say: "Of course, let's listen to the details..."
"Oh, that's it, magical, really magical!"
Benjamin picked up a tube of serum on the table with his hand and looked at it carefully.
Then he realized that blood was an evil thing and quickly put the glass tube back on the table.
"Rakshasa? I've heard some colleagues talk about it before."
Benjamin turned around, took down the "The Witcher's Manual" which was thicker than a brick from the high bookshelf, and slowly opened it.
“In the beginning, it was not someone’s discovery or invention.
It is said that in Egypt, an unknown Pharaoh once tried to inject the blood of a vampire into his own body.
As a result, he disappeared that night. Some said he died of a sudden illness after the injection. Others said he left the palace secretly. No one knew his whereabouts.
This is the oldest version I've ever heard of.
It is said that other nobles later tried this method, or therapy, but all failed without exception.
In recent years, it is indeed only the Japanese who have carried forward this research and technology.
Rakshasa, a term with a Zen connotation, was coined by the Japanese. ”
"Priest, tell me something we don't know."
Although Yin Xiu urged him like this, he had to admit that after Benjamin explained the ins and outs, Yin Xiu finally understood why Yamamoto Masahito was so powerful and mastered such complete techniques.
"Don't worry, my book is so thick, there are always some contents that I don't know."
Benjamin still flipped through the book slowly, and finally found relevant content on another page.
"Rakshasa, after all, is actually a human being, but he has inherited the power of a vampire. He is not afraid of sunlight, holy objects, or holy water, well..."
Benjamin picked up the pen, crossed out one of the lines, and rewrote it, "Afraid of holy water."
"Anyway, Rakshasa are the only alien species besides blood slaves that have inherited the power of vampires, but even if they gain power, they have no physical attachment to vampires.
For example, if a count vampire wants to create his own family, he will give humans a "first kiss" and transform them into vampires.
From then on, all vampires transformed by him will become his vassals, or heirs.
But Rakshasa will not, and Rakshasa will even feed on vampires, absorbing power through their blood.
Therefore, he became a vampire who held a grudge more than a clergyman. "That's what we want to know." ”
Yin Xiu winked at Luo Wei, who immediately stood up and took off his coat, revealing his solid muscles in the shirt.
"I'm offended."
After Luo Wei groaned, red clouds immediately surrounded him, thick and steaming, and soon the room was filled with the rich smell of blood.
Under Benjamin's surprised gaze, Rowe opened his silver-blue eyes.
"About my current state, the ghost guy said something, but his accent was too strong, so I didn't hear it clearly."
"Big Demon Form." Benjamin murmured.
"That's right, it's the big demon form!"
Luo Wei opened his eyes wide, "That's what that ghost guy said."
"Oh? Anyone else recognize this form? That ghost guy, ah no, where's that foreigner?"
Luo Wei spread his hands and said, "Dead."
"Dead?"
Benjamin was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Sin, sin, God loves the world. Okay, Brother Luo, put away your magical powers. After all, this is a church, not a slaughterhouse."
After lowering his head and chanting, he continued to explain.
"The great demon form, many people regard it as a legendary form and only regard it as a myth or legend.
But in fact, it does exist, and it is a power and form that Grandpa hates.
When I was young, I had the honor to witness the Inquisition's siege against a vampire marquis.
At that time, the Tribunal dispatched the five strongest paladins, three red priests, and even used the holy sword Solomon to suppress and seal the marquis.
I remember that battle. The eight heroes received a blessing from Grandpa, and their divine power increased suddenly. They fought bloody battles with the Marquis until the end of the universe, and the avenues were all wiped out. ”
"Ahem."
Yin Xiu coughed twice and said, "Priest, I am not preaching now. Don't copy what you saw in martial arts novels."
Benjamin smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, professional habits. You know, we missionaries are always used to using some more vivid and grand words. If we don't speak like this, the farmers, women and children won't understand."< br>
"I understand, I completely understand."
Yin Xiu nodded, "Even those who sell plasters must first perform a show of smashing the chest with a big stone and piercing the throat with a steel gun before they start selling medicine."
"That's the truth, that's the truth."
Benjamin closed the book and continued to talk about his memories.
"In that fierce battle, the Marquis used the [Big Demon Form] I just mentioned.
Just like you, red smoke came out of his body and his pupils changed color.
I still remember the Marquis’s terrifying eyes.
In the great demon form, when a vampire enters a higher level, he releases an equal proportion of blood throughout his body to forcibly increase his strength and speed. Even some mysterious ancient magic of the vampire needs to be cast in the great demon form.
In short, this is a so-called near-god form that most vampires cannot master or learn in their lifetime, no matter how powerful they are.
Because it's more of a talent. Some people can grow to more than two meters tall casually, while some people drink milk and touch height, but no matter how hard they try, they can't grow to 1.8 meters. This is the gap in talent.
But in fact, I think this is not just a talent difference.
After all, it’s really hard to find people who are two meters long, but if you watch those basketball games, which one is not a giant that is too tall? There are indeed not many people who are two meters tall, but there is not just one.
But in the great demon form, apart from the Marquis, you are the first person I have known for so long. I will also write this in the Witcher Manual, because it will be a huge discovery. , and you are still a Rakshasa. ”
Yin Xiu quickly expressed her worries, "Priest, please don't write randomly. When you write it in, you say that the great demon form is in the body of a police detective in Hong Kong Island.
I'm afraid the Tribunal will send over ten or twenty Paladins [Demon Slayers] the next day. Last time, just one of them hit me, and I broke more than three ribs. ”
Benjamin clicked his tongue, "Do you think the Paladins of the Tribunal are wholesalers? Are there dozens or twenty of them at once? Don't worry, I will definitely not leave any real information, and I will not publish this book again. , this is the final revised edition, the only one available.”
"That's good, that's good." Yin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, Luo Wei seemed not to hear their conversation at all, and just asked with interest: "Priest, do you have any information on hand about the ancient blood magic you mentioned?"
"No, how can I, a priest, collect these filthy and evil things?"
Benjamin shook his head, but after seeing the obvious disappointment on Rowe's face, he laughed again.
"I just said that I don't have it, it doesn't mean that my friends don't have it."
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter.
Yin Xiu originally had some expectations after hearing what he said, but when she saw that Benjamin was about to start writing letters again, her original expectations disappeared.
He turned to Luo Wei, who didn't know the situation yet, and said, "Young Detective, there's no need to read it. This letter must be written to Dun Ling. Wait until the other party receives the letter and then sends the information. Those Qi Refiners have already sent it to Dun Ling." The ground is dug through.”
When Luo Wei heard this, his original excitement disappeared. His eyes were blank and he didn't know what to say.
Benjamin didn't seem to hear, he just carefully sealed the letter into an envelope and handed it to Yin Xiu.
"Please help me bring the letter over."
Yin Xiu nodded helplessly: "I know, the boat to Dunling tomorrow..."
Before she finished speaking, Yin Xiu was suddenly stunned when she looked at the envelope.
Then, he handed the letter to Luo Wei.
"What's the matter? You don't know how to get to the dock, or..."
When Luo Wei saw the letter, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Priest, what is this?"
"Oh, I have something to do tomorrow and can't accompany you."
Benjamin raised his head, "So you can take this letter from me and go to Jordan to find him. When he came to settle in Hong Kong Island a few years ago, he brought all his book collections with him.
He should have information about ancient blood magic. You can go to him. ”
"Thanks!"
Yin Xiu and Luo Wei had the same joy on their faces, and turned to leave.
But just after taking half a step, Luo Wei turned back and looked at Benjamin seriously.
"Priest, this magic should be an evil force. Do you really trust me to leave it to me?"
Benjamin did not answer first, but raised his hand to his forehead, made a few crosses on his chest, and nodded at Yin Xiu and Luo Wei.
"Brother Yin, Brother Luo, power is just a prop. There is no distinction between evil and justice. What really determines your path to the light is your bright heart, not the so-called bright magic or weapons."
"Thanks!"
Yin Xiu hugged Luo Wei and walked out of the door laughing.
