Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 156 The whole town is full of vampires?
"Let's make it a deal."

After discussing with Li Kunshan, the Dragon Slayer left the inn with a smile on his face.

Actually, there was nothing much to discuss. It was just like what we said on the way here. We would drive corpses and transport goods together, and be paid by the piece.

Just now, the Dragon Slayer Master confirmed with Li Kunshan and told him the time for the first shipment, which is the second day of next month, which is about ten days away.

According to the Dragon Slayer, leaving time was to allow Li Kunshan to prepare for the zombies he was going to chase away.

After all, even if you dig the grave all night long, it will take several nights to dig with dozens of zombies.

"What are you doing?"

Watching the dragon-slaying wizard leave, Li Kunshan became a little confused.

Did they really bring him all the way to Jiuquan just to transport corpses and goods?

No, that doesn't fit his personality.

The Dragon Slayer must have some conspiracy, but it has not been revealed yet.

Next, Li Kunshan walked around the town a few more times and still didn't find anything unusual.

Li Kunshan thought about it, returned to the inn, and stayed in the room to refine his qi and transform his spirit.

Wow~!

As night fell, Li Kunshan suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, in every corner of Jiuquan Town, paper people stood up.

Through the paper man's perspective, almost the entire Jiuquan Town was under Li Kunshan's surveillance.

"really."

Through the paper figurines, we can see that as the sky darkens, the whole town is once again shrouded in evil spirits.

Evil spirit is not like dew, it appears at night and disappears during the day. There must be something strange here!
During the day, Li Kunshan scattered paper figures everywhere, and now he was keeping watch on them, just to see what strange things were hidden there.

"……wrong!"

The whole town was silent. At first, no one noticed anything unusual, but they always felt something was wrong. After a moment, Li Kunshan suddenly reacted.

It’s just getting dark, why is there no one on the street!
It's the Republic of China now, and while nightlife is still relatively scarce, there's still something fun to be had. And everyone has their own problems, and there's no curfew, so you can go out at night.

Jiuquan Town is not big, but there are about two or three hundred people. How come no one goes out at night?

Is this a strange custom in Jiuquan Town? Or is there some other reason?

Just look at it and you'll find out.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan manipulated the paper man to sneak into the homes of residents in the town.

"This is……"

What was even more surprising was that all the residents were already lying in bed.

Go to bed so early?

If it were just a few people it would be understandable, but if the whole town was like this it would be a bit weird.

"Evil!"

Then Li Kunshan discovered that every townsperson was emitting a trace of evil spirit!
These evil spirits dissipated and eventually gathered above the town, creating this gloomy scene shrouded in evil spirits.

"That's actually the case."

No wonder Li Kunshan couldn't find the source last night. He never expected that the source of these evil spirits was actually the residents of the town.

What was even more unexpected was that every resident exuded evil spirit.

It is the accumulation of small things that leads to this scale, not just a single powerful evil spirit.

"What's going on?"

Although he knew this, Li Kunshan still frowned.

During the day, he interacted with the townspeople and detected no evil spirits at all.

Li Kunshan admitted that with his current level of Taoism, although some evil spirits could deceive him, it was a bit unreasonable that so many residents in the town could deceive his eyes.

Hurrah~!

Just as Li Kunshan was wondering, the resident on the bed suddenly stood up straight.

Not just one, but all the residents from the paper man's perspective woke up.

This posture is a bit like a corpse rising from the dead, with red eyes, walking out of the house.

The streets that were empty just now were instantly filled with people.

"What are they going to do?"

Looking at these people, Li Kunshan felt confused.

But it was soon discovered that everyone was heading in the same direction, that is, they had the same destination.

"church!"

Following the crowd, all the residents entered the church last.

really!

Li Kunshan's expression was serious; the root of everything was indeed in the church.

He manipulated a paper figure, quietly attached it to a townsman, and followed him into the church.

A moment later, all the residents gathered in the church hall, with an old priest and several monks standing in front.

It looked like a gathering of believers, but they were not celebrating Mass. Instead, a monk was holding a large porcelain basin, and all the residents came forward one by one, holding the basin of water and drinking from it.

Although Li Kunshan is not a believer, he knows that holy water is not for drinking.

I quietly adjusted the angle of the paper man, flew it higher, and finally saw it clearly.

"Blood!"

The basin was actually filled with blood!

After drinking the blood, the residents showed expressions of intoxication and satisfaction on their faces.

"Zombies?"

At the same time, Li Kunshan also saw that all the residents had two corpse teeth in their mouths!
Could it be that all the residents had turned into zombies? But how could the entire town, a full two or three hundred people, be turned into zombies overnight?

After all, all residents were fine before the sun set.

"Still a vampire."

Looking at the villagers' movements, they are not stiff and clumsy like traditional zombies, but almost the same as ordinary people.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but think that the so-called Western zombies in this church were actually vampires.

Could it be that the townspeople have also turned into vampires?
But the question remains, how did he do it?

Vampires infect people in a similar way to zombies, both through bites and scratches. Even if a vampire were incredibly fast, it couldn't bite or scratch two or three hundred people in the blink of an eye.

What's more, these things are done under Li Kunshan's nose.

Could there be other ways of infection, such as through water sources, similar to virus transmission?
I can't figure it out for the moment, so I'll just continue observing.

After all the residents drank the blood, they left the church and went home. Then they went to bed and fell asleep as before.

Li Kunshan manipulated a large number of paper figures to check, and the situation was the same.

This went on until dawn.

"Disappeared."

As the sun rose, the evil spirits from all the townspeople instantly vanished, and the evil spirit that had enveloped the town at night also vanished.

Soon, the residents got up one after another and worked as usual.

"what happened!"

In the inn, Li Kunshan opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise.

He had clearly confirmed last night that all the townspeople had turned into vampires, so how could they still function normally during the day?

You know, once a vampire is exposed to sunlight, he will turn to ashes!

With a frown on his face, Li Kunshan stood up and walked out of the room.

He hurried downstairs and met the waiter. Li Kunshan directly opened his mouth to check.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

The waiter was startled, but since he was a customer after all, he didn't dare to resist.

Li Kunshan then let go and walked out of the inn quickly, but his brows were furrowed even more.

No! No!

Then he checked a few more people, and like the waiter just now, they did not have corpse teeth in their mouths.

Li Kunshan simply drew a few more soul-calming talismans and stuck them on passersby, but there was no reaction.

Yes, if it is a vampire, Taoist magic is useless.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan used silver coins, garlic, or simply did a cross test by hand, but the results were still no reaction.

After all this trouble, Li Kunshan stood on the street, looking at the people passing by, smiled, shook his head, and threw the cross aside. These people were not afraid of the sun, so how could they be afraid of these things?

"Weird."

Li Kunshan was now completely confused. What was going on with this town, or rather, these residents?

Then, Li Kunshan looked towards the church.

If you want to find out the truth of the problem, you still have to go to the root of the problem. The paper man has been discovered before, and I am afraid that nothing can be found out based on the paper man alone.

Li Kunshan's face darkened and he decided to go there in person this time.

If you find a problem, just solve it!

Li Kunshan originally wanted to deal with the Dragon Slayer first and then deal with the Western zombies, but he didn't expect things to be so bad. Now he has to make some adjustments.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan used the blinding beads to become invisible and sneaked into the church.

After daybreak, the church reopened. The priests, monks and believers had finished their morning prayers and were either busy or resting. The huge lobby was empty.

Li Kunshan checked everywhere and finally found the porcelain basin that contained blood last night. Although there was not a drop of blood left, Li Kunshan could still faintly smell the bloody smell.

This porcelain basin is placed here and is now used to hold blessed holy water.

It holds holy water during the day and blood at night. It's quite ironic, I have to say.

Li Kunshan had the impression that the holy water in churches was usually held in silver containers, so he wondered why they had specially changed to porcelain here.

Is it because vampires are afraid of silver?
But he had just tried it, and the residents were not afraid of things like silver-containing oceans.

"never mind."

It was still a mess. Li Kunshan shook his head and left.

After walking around the church and finding nothing wrong, he went straight to the old door that the paper man had originally discovered.

"right here."

Located at the deepest part of the church, it looks like it leads to the basement.

Why are Western zombies always sealed in the basement?
Li Kunshan was too lazy to complain, so he walked forward and pushed the door open gently because it was not locked.

As expected, there were steps and it was indeed a simple basement.

It is about the size of a room, empty and with nothing furnished, so you can see everything at a glance.

Li Kunshan glanced around and found nothing, let alone any Western zombies.

Did I guess wrong, or have the Western zombies already left?

"Um?!"

Li Kunshan subconsciously glanced up, then his eyes widened instantly, and saw a black shadow suddenly rushing towards him from above.

It was hidden in the ceiling!
Cursing in his heart, Li Kunshan immediately dodged to the side.

Bang~!

The black shadow was quite strong, but he missed and fell heavily to the ground. The floor cracked instantly, stirring up a large circle of dust.

Then he raised his head and looked at Li Kunshan with a fierce face, with two sharp corpse teeth exposed at the corners of his mouth.

"found it."

The invisibility effect has been removed due to the intense activity just now, but it is no longer necessary.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a high-necked black dress, with corpse fangs at the corners of his mouth, isn't this a typical vampire, or the so-called Western zombie?

It seems that the one in the movie is the one in front of me.

"Human who disturbed my rest without permission!"

The Western zombie growled and then pounced on Li Kunshan again.

"Try the quality."

Li Kunshan smiled and rushed forward with a punch.

Bang~!

With a loud bang, the small door shattered instantly, and the Western zombie flew out and slammed heavily against the wall.

"hateful!"

After landing, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked ferociously at Li Kunshan who came out next.

"As expected of a vampire, he's really tough."

Li Kunshan took a look and couldn't help but be amazed.

Just now, I blew it away with the Tiangang Toad Qi. Although it made quite a noise, it did not cause any actual harm to the Western zombie.

As a vampire, he is not only physically strong, but also has extremely strong self-healing ability.

"In that case."

Li Kunshan's face darkened and he raised his hand to take out a long sword.

Unlike ordinary swords, this sword is slender and silver all over. It is a silver sword!
Li Kunshan specially asked the No. 1 Blood God to refine this sword to fight against vampires. In fact, it cost him two hundred dollars to refine this sword.

Swish~!

Li Kunshan took a step forward and swung his sword at the Western zombie.

Realizing it was silver, the Western zombie's face changed and he dodged in panic.

Tsk~!

The sword tip hit the wall, sending rocks and dirt flying and leaving a deep sword mark.

Silver is soft in texture, but after being refined by No. 1, this sword is not only extremely strong, but also sharp enough!

Although it doesn't have any other special effects, it's enough to deal with vampires.

"Get down here!"

The sword missed and Li Kunshan shouted loudly.

The other hand slapped over directly, and a golden aura emerged and turned into a giant hand, directly slapping the Western zombie against the wall.

Boom~!

The enormous force directly knocked down the wall and knocked the Western zombie away.

"what sound!"

"what's going on!"

The lobby was right on this side of the wall. Hearing the noise, the priest and a group of monks ran in.

"who are you!"

Seeing Li Kunshan walking out of the hole in the wall, he was puzzled again.

"What are you doing here? Son, the morning prayers are over. You should come back in the evening."

"Wait, did you destroy the wall? Lord, please forgive his sin. My child, the Lord has forgiven you, but you have to pay for the repair of the wall."

Roar~!

The priest was still chattering, and with a roar, the Western zombie stood up from under the broken bricks again.

"You are……"

The priest couldn't help feeling happy when he suddenly saw a familiar face.

Although Father Wu is a Chinese, he is from the Vatican.

"Oh my God! The devil!"

But then, he was shocked when he saw the Western zombies showing their fangs.

He and other monks retreated in panic, holding up the cross on his chest and muttering something.

Seeing this scene, Li Kunshan frowned again.

He saw clearly last night that it was this priest who distributed blood to the townspeople. Judging from his appearance, he was clearly the vampire's assistant.

But at this time, he seemed not to recognize this Western zombie.

And like other residents in the town, Father Wu and other monks in the church at this time all looked like ordinary humans, not vampires at night.

"who cares."

Li Kunshan shook his head and ignored all that for now. He just had to get rid of this Western zombie first.

He took a quick step forward and stabbed the Western zombie in the chest with a sword.

Bang~!

It hit the target, but there was a sharp sound and it couldn't penetrate.

"This is……"

Looking up at the Western zombie in front of him, Li Kunshan frowned again.
