Chapter 137

~7 min read 1,222 words

The next morning, inside an underground exchange in another city.

A middle-aged man wearing a black robe was sitting on a chair with a numb face, looking up slightly, his eyes dim and lusterless, as if he had lost his soul.

The camera zoomed out, and one could see in front of the man stood several young men and women with Asian faces, and on the surrounding floor, there was a pile of black-robed people lying in a mess.

Looking at their miserable appearance with bruised noses and swollen faces, it was clear they had just suffered a severe beating.

"Troublesome. His memory doesn't have news about Fan Haixin's whereabouts."

Zhan Lan put down her index and middle fingers pressed on her temples, looking at Wu Xian, her expression showing helplessness: "This information organization knows some news about the dark world, and also knows that Fan Haixin comes from the Church's Holy Order and is a monster hunter.

But out of fear of the Church, this organization has never investigated the information of the Holy Order members in detail, only knowing that a few murder cases happened in Berlin a week ago, seemingly related to Fan Haixin... As for where he went after that, it's not very clear."

"Then what should we do? Should we go to Berlin now, or go directly to Romania and wait for the rabbit at the female lead's side?"

Hearing Zhan Lan's words, the few Zhongzhou team members who came along couldn't help but look at each other. Among them, Zheng Zha had a flash of inspiration and put forward a suggestion that sounded quite reliable, but was soon denied by Wu Xian.

"Waiting for the rabbit is correct, but the Fan Haixin in the movie went to the female lead's side according to the Church's order after solving Dr. Jekyll in Paris.

But the problem is, what if that's something happening a few years later? Do we still have to wait there for a few years?"

Wu Xian spread his hands: "Don't forget, Dracula's castle is also in the territory where the female lead lives. If we really wait for such a long time, I guess we would have already confronted Dracula, so what kind of Fan Haixin are we looking for."

"Ha... hahaha, seems right too."

Zheng Zha felt embarrassed upon hearing this, then smiled and looked at Doraemon... ah no, looked at Chu Xuan, his eyes full of expectation.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. We still have two ways to ensure finding Fan Haixin, or rather, let him take the initiative to find us."

Seeming to notice Zheng Zha's gaze, Chu Xuan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"First, we go directly to the Vatican, entrust the Church's high-level officials, and let them send Fan Haixin to help us deal with Dracula together. This is the most direct and crisp method.

However, doing so also has considerable risks, which is the possibility of attracting Heaven's attention... Although the Main God forged our identities, appearing under the other party's eyelids is still too risky, so unless necessary, I don't suggest taking this method."

Hearing these words, the few people present nodded thoughtfully. Among them, Wu Xian seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly becoming a bit weird as he looked at Chu Xuan, testing:

"Let me guess, your second method wouldn't be to let us play powerful dark creatures, then do evil everywhere, attracting the Church's attention, and they would send Fan Haixin, this powerful monster hunter, to deal with us? In this way, we could meet Fan Haixin."

"It doesn't need everyone to play dark creatures together."

Chu Xuan nodded in acknowledgment, then looked at the silly Zheng Zha on the side, saying indifferently: "It's enough to just have Zheng Zha or Li Li Xiaoyi. After all, one is a vampire and one is a demon, belonging to a true-to-life performance.

On the contrary, others can pretend to be wild demon hunters, taking action to help Fan Haixin, and by fighting side-by-side, gain his trust."

"Ah?! It's me acting again?"

Zheng Zha's face felt a bit awkward, couldn't help but think of the breakup scene he and Wu Xian performed in the "Cursed" world last time.

In an instant, he felt his toes itching, wanting to dig a Vatican out of the ground, so he waved his hand and fruitlessly refused: "Forget it, my acting is too bad, I couldn't even fool Kayako, Fan Haixin won't believe it either. Let Xiao Yi do it."

"Forget it. You at least have some acting experience, while Xiao Yi is purely a newbie. If you let him act, it'll be a blessing if he doesn't laugh on set. Who do you expect him to fool?"

Wu Xian rolled his eyes. Seeing Zheng Zha still looking conflicted, he added: "Besides, Fan Haixin's strength is currently an unknown. In case Xiao Yi is not his opponent and is beaten into serious injury, what will you do? Can you bear it in your heart?"

"Ah this... Alright, I'll do it, but if the acting flops, don't blame me."

Zheng Zha was speechless and could only nod in agreement with a bitter smile.

No way, being a saint is just like this.

"The matter of playing dark creatures doesn't need to be rushed."

Seeing Zheng Zha agree to be the bait, a bright white light flashed on the surface of Chu Xuan's lenses.

"Now there is still some time before the plot starts, and the Main God hasn't given a completion deadline for the main mission. Since that's the case, we might as well take advantage of this gap to do some other things."

"You mean... trigger other side plots?"

Hearing Chu Xuan's later words, Wu Xian also quickly reacted, his eyes gradually brightening.

"That's right."

Chu Xuan: "According to the movie's setting, this is a stitched world view. Besides Count Dracula, there are other monster novel elements like Dr. Jekyll, Frankenstein, etc. If we can find these monsters and eliminate them all, we should be able to obtain quite a few side plots and reward points."

"Besides this, after the number of these dark creatures is greatly reduced, let Zheng Zha appear in a high-profile manner in the posture of a vampire. It will definitely attract the Church's attention immediately, and the chance of Fan Haixin being sent over will also be higher. Incidentally, it can also lay a foreshadowing for dealing with Dracula later."

"This idea is good."

Zhan Lan also smiled: "In the information I obtained just now, there is quite a lot of news about dark creatures, and there are also their active areas. This happens to be useful."

"Very good. Since that's the case, then it's happily decided."

Speaking of this, Wu Xian turned to look at Zheng Zha again, raising his hand to pat his shoulder, smiling and saying: "As the only crime-buster in the reincarnation team, seeing this world shrouded in darkness, how can our Zhongzhou team stand by? We must take action immediately, eradicate those naturally evil dark creatures, and return a bright and beautiful future to the broad masses of the people... You say so, Vampire Marquis Lord!"

Zheng Zha: "......"

What, is it too late to change actors now?
