Chapter 2758: This Task Isn’t as Simple as It Seems

It was already dawn, and the sky had begun to light up.

Touro poured gasoline on the bodies and set them on fire.

A strange smell wafted in the air, mixing with the smell of gasoline.

Ning Shu was cultivating in the house. Meanwhile, Casey was smoking cigarettes one after the other, filling the room with smoke.

Ning Shu opened her eyes. “Can you stop smoking?”

Casey stubbed out his cigarette. “I have a bad feeling. I think this task isn’t as simple as it seems. The blood hunter order probably didn’t expect this situation to happen.”

“You still can’t smoke like this. The smoke makes me feel like I’m already in the afterlife,” Ning Shu chided.

“I’ll go out, then. Call me if you need anything.”

After Casey went out, Ning Shu immediately formed hand signs and created a spirit gathering formation to speed up her cultivation progress.

Casey wasn’t the only one who had a foreboding feeling; Ning Shu did, too. She focused on absorbing the spiritual energy gathering around her.

She felt like something was stirring, about to wake up…

With the spiritual energy, Ning Shu’s dantain which had been throbbing with pain gradually stopped hurting.

It was already dawn. The vampires wouldn’t come out during the day.

Even vampires who were unafraid of the sun would rarely ever come out. After all, the sun would still be a major discomfort to their body.

Touro grabbed some food from the car. He went back into the house and gave Ning Shu some.

Ning Shu took the water and jerky. The jerky was delicious; it was chewy and very flavorful.

Ning Shu tore into the jerky as she asked, “What should we do next? Leave this place and return to the order, or stay and wait for reinforcements to come?”

“We should stay. I’ve reported things to the blood hunter order,” Casey said, “if we were to leave like this and anything goes awry, we’ll be held responsible for it.”

Ning Shu nodded. “Alright.”

“Do you think those vampires are collecting blood for something? Why would they kill so many people in such a short time?

“They can manage for several days by just sucking blood once, anyway.” The vampires didn’t need three meals a day like human beings did.

These details, which lay beyond the original storyline, were not mentioned at all to Ning Shu.

She only ever received the main storyline, while such details were omitted.

Then again, the original host didn’t partic.i.p.ate in this mission in the original storyline. She was too busy chasing after Mina and cleaning up after Mina’s messes.

“We don’t know when reinforcements will come so we have to stay vigilant.” Touro took a sip of his alcohol.

The sun was shining bright on the top of their head, and it was scorching hot today. It was unlikely for vampires to come out in this kind of weather.

Still, they could come out at night. Ning Shu intensified her cultivation.

Touro and Casey cleaned their tools and tidied them up, making sure that they’d be able to quickly grab them when they needed them.

Human beings weren’t nearly as powerful as the vampires were, so they had to rely on their tools.

The original host, Touro, and Casey, were all highly trained in all forms of hand-to-hand combat, though.

If they weren’t blood hunters, Ning Shu suddenly thought, they could probably have a thriving career as bodyguards or something.

Of course, a bodyguard’s salary was nothing in comparison to a blood hunter’s.

Plus, the road of a blood hunter was a road of no return. Having killed vampires, even if they retired, they’d still be hunted down and murdered by the vampires.

Ning Shu, Casey, and Touro waited. The whole street was empty.

The town looked desolate.

Its townsfolk had either run away or were cowering inside their homes.

Occasionally, though, patrolling police cars would still pa.s.s by.

Ning Shu cultivated without rest.

When she was nearly done cultivating, she bit her own finger and squeezed out some blood. With her blood, she drew a talisman in the holy water to increase its yang energy.

As the sky gradually darkened, the trio stood ready for whatever was to come.

“Ahem…” Ning Shu suddenly cleared her throat. The three of them had been deathly silent, so the sudden noise Ning Shu made surprised Touro and Casey.

Casey turned and looked at Ning Shu. “What’s wrong?”
