I'm a professional

This is a small town, neither bustling nor dilapidated.Like most towns in this land, its most luxurious building is the Gothic steeple church in the center of the town: the residents pray in the church morning and evening, praying for the protection of the Holy Light based on them, from being reduced to those Food for bloodthirsty monsters...

However, at this moment...

The shadow of dusk fell, but the whole town was silent, without a single sound - no priest's prayer of mercy, no ethereal sound of children singing hymns...

Bai Mu walked on the only slate-paved road leading to the church. His leather boots touched the slate. His steps were not heavy, but in this quiet town, they were extremely abrupt.

The reverberation echoes... it is inexplicably unsettling...

Without any warning, a strong wind came from the side, but Bai Mu seemed to have expected it, and the line that was going straight ahead suddenly deviated a step to the left, just in time to avoid this sharp claw.At the same time, the sword hanging on the waist was also unsheathed, drawing a sharp but beautiful arc in the air, and accurately hit the target.

But what came out was not the muffled sound of sharp knives piercing the flesh, but the sound of "Zi La La" like roasting or something.The unknown black figure uttered a scream that seemed to be howling from a beast, and just before the night fell completely, it turned into a cloud of flying sand and dissipated in the world.

Almost at the same time that the monster dissipated, Bai Mu heard a slight movement, like weeping, or exclaiming...

——There are survivors!

Bai Mu was about to go over, but the next second, his footsteps stopped, and his body slowly turned in one direction.

At this moment, the sky...is already dark...

And the road leading to the church, which was originally lit by the holy light, is covered with dense red light spots.

"Huchi", "Huchi", like a very hungry beast saw the panting of its prey, and the smelly saliva dripped on the ground, making a slight corrosion sound.

It turned out that the red dot... was the eye.

——The eyes of the blood-sucking monster...

Nina hugged her brother and hid behind the icon in the church.

In fact, until now, she still has a false sense of uncertainty about what happened.

She only remembered that she was woken up by her mother in her sleep last night.

——Her mother once worked as a maid in the baron's mansion, and etiquette is rare in this remote town. Many people are willing to let their daughters live in Mrs. Uzi's house for a while. Especially girls.

But that night, Nina was so flustered that she had never seen on her mother's face, her expression was even a little ferocious due to excessive panic.

Nina admitted that she was intimidated.

But Mrs. Uzi could no longer care about her daughter's emotions. She stuffed her youngest son into the arms of her eldest daughter, and before she even had time to explain anything, she lifted the two children out of the narrow window roughly, using a kind of In an almost roaring tone: "Run! Run! Go to church!!!"

Nina didn't know why, but the terrible tone made her dare not even complain about her back hurting from the fall, so she quickly picked up her brother and ran to the church.

In the room behind her, there was a loud muffled sound, followed by an overturning sound. Nina wanted to turn around and go back, but Mrs. Uzi in the room seemed to know what her daughter was thinking, and her voice was shrill and shrill, "Run!! Don't look back!!! Don't-"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The scene where the mother was attacked by the monster and bit her neck off was reflected in the eyes of the boy who was being picked up. The boy who had been obediently and still trying to relieve his sister's burden suddenly struggled.

Nina didn't see that scene, but the sudden stop of the voice was enough for her to have the worst associations.

But at that moment, she was unbelievably calm. She raised her hand and pressed her brother's head on her shoulder, preventing him from looking at it, and ran to the church with all her strength.

The roaring and wailing from both sides of the street fell into my ears at the same time, and it was still abrupt in the noisy wind beside my ears. The bloody smell in my throat surged, and my lungs seemed to be about to explode under the heavy load.

Finally... the steeple of the church came into view.

——Soon, almost there!

But at the same time, the wheezing sound behind him was approaching step by step.

On the road illuminated by the holy light, a huge and ferocious black figure appeared, with sharp claws and fangs, rushing towards the two people.

Nina ran forward, but how could an underage girl outrun the monster?

The trembling legs couldn't support her body, and she stepped sideways with the next step, and she fell heavily, like a mother lifting two people. She only had time to throw her brother in the direction of the church, and closed her eyes in despair.

After a long time, it seemed that only a moment later, she heard an anxious and choked shout, "Sister!!! Sister!!!"

Nina opened her eyes, and there was a round translucent shield in front of her, emitting a soft light. The monster seemed to hate this light, and took a step back. Nina took the opportunity to roll and crawl into the church .

The one who protected her just now was a rock, inconspicuous, like a pebble picked up casually on the river beach.

It was given by a traveler who stayed at Uzi's house. It didn't have such an ordinary appearance at first, but it was shining with luster, which was very beautiful. That's why Nina couldn't help but look at it more. , was noticed by the other party to get this generous gift.

Now it seems...

What a very generous gift!

The miserable howling continued until the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, and Nina spent the night curled up behind the icon with her brother in her arms.

But the day that seemed hopeful turned out to be an illusion after all.

In fact, the siblings were not the only ones who hid in the church to escape the catastrophe at first.

The elderly priest, Uncle Roma who lived nearby, Uncle Ross who had been troubled by insomnia for many years and came to pray every night...

Uncle Rom asked tremblingly, "What is that?"

"The devil in the dark night feeds on blood..." The always gentle and kind priest showed a serious expression, "We are going to inform the bishop..."

……

Even if you don't go to the bishop, you can't stay in the church forever.

So Uncle Rom went out, Uncle Rose went out, and finally Aunt Joanna went out...

The ending is... a shrill cry came from the edge of the town.

Finally, the priest gave the siblings a blessing and walked out of the church slowly.

At that time, it was already afternoon...

Nina watched helplessly as a black figure rushed out from the nearby shadows and rushed straight towards the priest and grandpa.She didn't even have time to scream, and there was only a pool of blood spattered on the spot.

Then, it was night again...

Dense crowds of monsters gathered, their eyes glowed strangely red in the dark night, and the sound of breathing came and went, so dense that it made one's scalp numb.

Nina wanted to remind this innocent traveler to hide in the church, but she was overwhelmed by great fear, and her tongue was too stiff to vibrate.

She wanted to look away, unable to bear to see the result.

But under the fear and stiffness, she couldn't even move her eyes.

It was the first time for Nina to thank herself so cowardly, which allowed her to see a scene she would never forget in her life.

The sharp sword flower is flying in the air, the silvery light is like the petals scattered in the fields in spring, but it is harder, sharper and more beautiful than that flower...

The terrifying monster had no power to resist under this beautiful swordsmanship that seemed to be performing, and it turned into flying dust in an instant and scattered in all directions.

If at first it was because of the inability to look away because of stiffness and fear, now it is purely because of "beauty", that powerful, holy beauty.

The man raised his hand, and the extinguished holy flame beside the church lit up.

The warm white light illuminates the long gilt hair like the sun, and the deep, delicate facial features that seem to be carved...

Even the flying dust that the monster turned into didn't seem to dare to invade his domain, and with every step he took, the sound of the leather boots stepping on the ground seemed to play a beautiful movement.

Nina stared blankly, but woke up suddenly the moment Bai Mu stepped into the church. She held down her younger brother who was also in a daze beside her, bent down, and bowed deeply.

"Master God...please forgive me..."

She actually looked directly at the face of the gods? !What an offense! !

Bai Mu:? ? ?

Why is he suddenly inhuman? !

Bai Mu took a bit of effort, and finally explained to the siblings that he is not a "Master God", but an ordinary... well, maybe not so ordinary human...

Compared with the elder sister's respect and restraint, the younger brother obviously grasped the point faster, "Master Wilt, is the 'hunter'... the one who went to kill those monsters?"

Wilt Ward, Bai Mu's name in this world; hunter, is his current profession...or, to be more precise - vampire hunter.

This is a world where humans and blood races coexist.

The legendary thirteen clans have long fallen into a deep sleep. After thousands of years of reproduction, the current blood clan has long lost the power comparable to gods back then.But for ordinary people, that remaining ability is still enough to make people despair.

They regard human beings as inferior creatures, and feed them like livestock, drive them to slaughter, and there are many records of that era in the history of the Holy See. People feel that despair, just like what the Holy See called that time - "Night of Hopelessness".

But no matter how dark the night is, the dawn will come.

There are always geniuses who emerge from the sky.

The first holy son and the first president of the Hunter Association were the two who brought the dawn. The two joined forces to cleanse the blood clan above the throne. Half of the two-digit princes of the blood clan were beheaded. Half fell into a semi-permanent sleep...

And human beings have finally obtained the qualifications to sit on the negotiating table.

……

However, those two strong men also realized that human life is limited after all, and they cannot become eternal guardians.

The "Holy Son" reached an agreement with the church, while the other chose to create a new organization, which is now the "Hunter Association".

——The hunter who hunts vampires.

Bai Mu was very familiar with the light in the boy's eyes.

Hateful, disgusting, but full of hope...

He has also saved many such people over the years.

Their friends, lovers, relatives... were buried under the minions of vampires, and their hatred drove them eager to gain power.

Bai Mu answered the boy's question just now, "Yes."

Hunting vampires is indeed one of the main duties of a hunter.

As expected, the boy immediately said: "I want to be a hunter too!"

Bai Mu had to hear this kind of words at least hundreds of times a year from different people. His ears were almost calloused, but this time, he was set up as an honest person who is upright and will not be perfunctory.

It seems that Bai Mu was silent for a long time, and Nina on the side quickly scolded her younger brother, "Lock, don't make things difficult for Sir Wilt!"

The blond-haired, blue-eyed young man shook his head at the girl with a soft smile, signaling her not to be nervous.

Turning to the boy again, those deep blue eyes were full of seriousness, "Before that, you have to answer me a question—why do you want to be a hunter?"

The boy opened his mouth to answer, but the young man pressed his lips.

He said slowly and word by word: "Think about it...children, this question is very important."

Such a solemn attitude inexplicably woke up the boy's heart from the stinging hatred, and he fell silent for a while.
