Chapter 136
Chapter 136
The annual vampire hunter assessment is about to begin.When Jaco replaced his winter robes with a spring one, he stood in front of the mirror and frowned for a long moment.
After nearly a year of blood nourishment, he finally temporarily stabilized his physical changes, but he didn't look like a normal person anymore.His hair is silver-white, his skin is almost transparent enough to see the blue blood vessels inside, his lips are bright red, and the eye sockets and the tip of his nose are also slightly red.His dark green eyes had faded even further, and he looked like a colorless paper man with lipstick on.
666 was amused by his description of himself, and couldn't help but say: [When you were a model, some people said you had no color. 】
"Back then I could at least get a tan," Jaco said, rolling his eyes.He covered the upper half of his face with a hood, picked up his ID card and backpack, and walked downstairs.Hillary shouted the contents of breakfast from below.
The entire church was surrounded by crowds, even at Christmas time, there were not so many people in the church.All kinds of people stood outside the church and lined up to enter one by one, holding various weapons and bags of notes and books.The onlookers pointed at the candidates and seemed to be laughing at these overreaching guys.
There are quite a few ordinary people here, and 90.00% of the vampire hunters selected in the past are sentinels, and Fred is the only exception that has appeared in recent years.
There are many people who participate in the selection every year, but there are often situations where even a vampire hunter cannot be selected.This is why vampire hunters are both hated and respected.They are powerful and aim to kill vampires, but they also have the advantage of not being subject to the law and the police system.
When Jaco quietly entered the line, Cilari stood on the periphery and cheered him on.Jaco nodded "shyly".
The entire assessment content is divided into two parts, one part is a written test, and the other part is a practical ability test.Kental was a sentinel, weak but still a sentinel.The biggest advantage brought to him by becoming a vampire is that his body stats, which were barely up to standard, have risen.If he goes to join the army now, he will be one of the best.
——The amount of exercise I did every night while playing hide-and-seek with that vampire hunter was no joke.
At first, Jaco didn't understand why vampires also have spiritual bodies, but later he found the answer in the materials he read.Vampires who were formerly human will retain their spiritual bodies after being first embraced.But at the same time, due to major changes in their lives, their spiritual bodies will turn into dark creatures such as bats and lizards in all likelihood.Unlike this, pure blood vampires do not have a spirit body.
Jacco walked into the church with his head down.
If he has any advantage, it must be that he has taken away Kental's body, and has not affected the so-called church's deterrence against vampires in the slightest.The holy objects of the church had to wait until they really acted on him before he could be harmed. In short, he took one step into the cathedral, which was said to be a place that vampires never dared to approach.
Several test papers had already been placed on the prayer mat in the church. Jacco took the number plate that was distributed when he entered at the door, found his own number and sat down.There are quite a few people dressed like him, and many humans who are not qualified for vampire hunters but are hunting vampires like to hide themselves.Jaco looked around secretly, and his eyes stopped for a moment on a casual man in black robe standing in the corner—isn't this the vampire hunter who interrupted his "good deed" that day?
Fred didn't expect that little guy that day would actually come to participate in the selection.When he saw the familiar chin, he felt that the other party's lips were redder and his skin seemed whiter.He touched his lips, and thought of the touch when he touched the other party's gums - as if he was stroking the fangs of a young beast.
Fred couldn't help staring at each other.Kelvin read out the rules and precautions, and he gritted his teeth jealously at Fred who was standing by.Fred is almost the idol of all vampire hunters. After they came in, many people tried to talk to Fred and asked him for his autograph.More sentries looked at this special guide with a beautiful face and a perfect physique with naked eyes.
Kelvin's words were almost ignored.
The vampire hunters guarding the other corner also looked at Fred with admiration and admiration, which made Kelvin, who stood at the top, feel a familiar sense of inferiority.
Kelvin turned to Fred and said, "Can you get out?"
Fred glanced at him inexplicably: "Didn't the priest arrange me here?"
The vampire hunters on site were the invigilators for the entire selection, which was the case every year. This time, according to the list, it happened to be the turn of the vampire hunters, Fred.
Kelvin nearly gritted his teeth.He originally wanted to let this arrogant vampire hunter see the admiration everyone gave him, but he didn't expect that things were just the other way around.
When the written test officially started, everyone's eyes finally turned away from Fred.Jaco also lowered his head.He turned over the examination paper in front of him and quickly glanced at the questions.
666 watched Jia Ke move his brush like flying, and couldn't help saying: 【Do you want to be the first? 】
Even if Jia Ke's memory is not good, with 666 as a powerful cheating device, he can decide what kind of ranking Jia Ke wants.
He didn't look up, but just looked around with his spiritual sense, and said to 666 in his mind: "Yes."
666 seems a little confused. 【Didn't you say you didn't want to attract attention? 】
Vampire hunters can produce up to two people a year, and Jaco is on the line to ensure that he is outstanding without drawing too much attention.
"I can't perform very well in the actual combat ability test later." As a vampire, Jaco certainly knows the scent, abilities and weaknesses of vampires better than the candidates present, but he was still a deserter with records before. Very low, how could it be possible to surpass everyone else in terms of physical fitness in just one year?
In order to get the next score, Jia Ke must ensure that his written test score is the first.
Half of the time had passed, and the sharp eyes of the vampire hunters who were proctoring the exam were looking around, only Fred stared at Jacco for a long time from time to time.Kelvin, who had been paying attention to Fred, couldn't help turning his attention to Jaco, who was writing hard.He didn't see anything wrong with him, and he didn't know why this thin-looking guy was worth Fred's eyes.
As long as Fred pays attention to it, Kelvin always pays attention to it, and he always wants to take it or destroy it.
When Fred walked past Jacco, he saw the little leopard lying on his head, squinting boredly, and when Fred passed by, he looked at him vigilantly, as if he was looking for him. something on me.Fred stared at the little leopard for another moment.
The mental bodies of vampires were mostly dark creatures, and this little leopard made him dispel his suspicion that the other party was a vampire to the greatest extent—he had never seen a dark vampire with a lively little cheetah.
At this moment, the boy suddenly raised his hand, which was very eye-catching among the candidates.Kelvin's gaze immediately shifted from Fred to the boy again.
"I'm done." The boy's straight eyes met Kelvin.This sentence almost caused all the candidates present to look up at him.
Kelvin stepped forward and took the paper from the boy's hand, while Fred glanced at the boy's name: Kental Inovich.
Kelvin scanned it suspiciously, but found no blank spaces.He hesitated and said to Jaco: "Take this and come to collect your results this afternoon." In Kelvin's hand was a silver badge with a serial number 1 written on it.
Fred raised his eyebrows to see the boy's actions.The boy took the badge without hesitation and put it in his pocket.
— Fred dismissed the last trace of doubt.

When Jacco left the church to look for "lunch", he scolded Fred thousands of times in his heart.Fred, the explosively watchful bastard—
When he came out, there were not so many onlookers, and no one expected that someone would come out at this time.He had persuaded the Hillarys to go back a long time ago, and now they are probably sitting in their small shop anxiously waiting for the results of Jaco's exam.
Jaco glanced back.Fred was still proctoring in the church, which brought a smile to his lips.
When he finished his "lunch" and came out of the hiding place, a large number of candidates also began to pour out of the church.Jacco took a look at his silverware burns which were gradually healed until there was not even a scar left, and scolded Fred several times in his heart.If it weren't for him, Jacco's "lunch" would have only needed two people.
Most left the church dejected, and some with confident smiles.Most of them sat on the grass in front of the church to eat, and Jacco took the opportunity to blend in among them and sat down.A shadow appeared in front of him, accompanied by the smell of human food.
Seeing the sandwich in front of him, Jaco froze for a moment, then frowned.Fred stood in front of him and said, "Would you like it?"
——Why is this person endless?
"I've eaten," said Jacco.
Fred stuffed the sandwich into his mouth without hesitation.His existence is like a spotlight, attracting everyone's attention.
As a vampire, Jaco felt a lot of pressure to be surrounded by the crowd.
"You're pretty good at theory," said Fred. "Self-taught?"
Jaco responded with a low hum, acting as a stone at his feet.Fred is dressed very formally today.He was dressed in a snow-white robe with straps on which to hang some weapons.The suitcase he never left was also placed at his feet, and there was an aura in it that made Jacco a little hairy.
Fred was buttoned to the top, his blond hair was brushed back submissively, and his gray eyes looked a little cold, more abstinent.
The crowd cast angry and jealous glances at the weak sentinel at the side of this powerful and charming guide.
Fortunately, Fred didn't stay long, and he was soon called back to the church like other vampire hunters.After he left, Jacco felt the gaze on him take a while to go away. 666 said silently: 【...It's a lot of hatred. 】
Jaco: "..."
-
Before the actual combat ability test in the afternoon, the church announced the list of passers for the written test.The names of Sequence 1 and Kental are impressively ranked first, and there are more than a dozen names below.Jaco held the corner of the badge through his pocket, and went forward to show the badge to Kelvin.Kelvin had been staring at him for a long time, and now he looked at him with even weirder eyes, and it took him a long time before he said, "Go in..."
Jia Ke didn't understand why the priest was always staring at him. He couldn't help asking 666: "I was exposed? Is it because of the smell?"
666 looked Jia Ke up and down, and finally said hesitantly: [Maybe it's because you haven't showered for a week? 】
Jaco regretted taking the blood of two unlucky men at noon, and he was a little afraid that the bloody smell on his body would be smelled by those vampire hunters with keen sense of smell.
Those who passed the written test began to walk into the back garden of the church one after another. Jacco followed the flow of people and was deliberately bumped several times by many people along the way.Presumably as a warning to him for getting too close to Fred earlier.Jaco couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and lowered his hood a little.He should really be grateful for the weather today, which is a gloomy day, so that he will not be scorched by the sun.But walking outside during the day is still too exhausting for him...he needs to eat a good meal at night...
Jaco was thinking about something here, and another priest on the other side had already begun to announce the content of the actual combat ability test.The content of the test is different every year, and this time it is even more out of the ordinary.
"Bring back a vampire's fang—within three days." The priest said, "The things we can provide you with are: holy water, peach wood..."
Jaco rolled his eyelids, and finally understood why there were only two vampire hunters at most produced each year.This rigorous selection method is equivalent to directly selecting scholars who are equally rich in theoretical and practical knowledge.This kind of selection speed is far inferior to the speed of "breeding" of vampires, but fortunately, the empire still has a large number of sentinel troops.
—retrieve a vampire's fang, which is tantamount to asking them to kill a vampire.Any vampire who loses his teeth is probably worse than death-how can he live without what he used to hunt and eat?
Jaco felt a slight pain in his teeth.
"Now, come and get your tools."
Everyone lined up and went up one by one to get their things.It was packed in a small silver-plated suitcase.The reason why there is a registration fee is that the equipment provided by the church to candidates costs a lot of money.
Jacco put on a pair of black gloves, and the silver box did not do him any harm in his hands.
"Please swear to God, you will not use any immoral means to win a shameless victory—" The priest put his hand on a huge Bible, and Jacco pretended to swear.
He deeply doubts that the church has a hand, otherwise, with this loose rule, many people are bound to opportunistically.
Sure enough, the priest continued, "For the sake of fair selection, the seven vampire hunters from the Seventh District Church will observe the progress of your tasks during the selection period. Please rest assured that they will not interfere with your assessment."
Are seven vampire hunters enough to monitor all the candidates present?Jia Ke doubted this in his heart, but in the next few days, he swallowed his previous doubts.
