Evolution game, nothing more than that!

"Eh? Is it so dangerous?"

My aunt was shocked when she heard this, and then she quickly advised:

"You should be more careful when walking on the road next time! But, Xiao Shen, you did a really good job this time. Auntie is very proud of you!"

The second half of the sentence was directed at Yi Shen.

Seeing this, Yi Shen just shrugged, acknowledging his aunt's praise.

Afterwards, the aunt tried to ask more questions from the two girls, such as how Yi Shen had been doing recently, whether they had experienced any interesting things with Yi Shen, etc.

However, both girls were very smart and they dealt with these questions and temptations in various clever ways.

The whole meal was filled with intrigue and a strange atmosphere, which made Yi Shen feel very uneasy, fearing that his aunt would find out something.

It's not that he deliberately wanted to hide it from her, but things related to the evolution game were not suitable for an ordinary person like her to participate in. Instead of making her worry all day long, it would be better not to tell her anything.

After the meal, my aunt didn't ask much substantive questions.

Noticing the discomfort of the boys and girls, she smiled.

Forget it, I'd better not interfere too much in young people's affairs.

Only when she was about to leave, while Yi Shen was seeing her off, did she whisper a warning to the young man:

"Xiao Shen, although I don't know what happened to you, since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. But as for those two girls... I don't care which one you choose in the end, but you must remember not to hurt their hearts. Don't do anything that will hurt them before you confirm the relationship. Playing two girls at the same time is the biggest taboo of all, remember?"

"...Aunt, I really don't have that kind of relationship with them!"

When Yi Shen heard the first half, he was a little touched and thought that his aunt was quite considerate. But after hearing the second half, he couldn't help but feel helpless. What the hell was going on? Although he and Yamasaki An had some ambiguity, they still hadn't broken the window paper yet, not to mention Sakurajima Mai, whom he had just met not long ago. The idea of ​​two-timing was nonsense!

"Even if it's not now, it could be in the future! So you must remember what I said. Don't be fickle with girls. Be a responsible man, okay?"

My aunt reminded me again and again.

"I know, I know……"

Yi Shen nodded helplessly.

"You only need to say 'I understand' once!"

The aunt said this, but did not continue nagging. She looked Yi Shen up and down again, smiled with relief, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

Watching his aunt leave, Yi Shen returned to the house, closed the door, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This meal was more tiring than fighting a wendigo!

The two girls who were clearing the dishes on the table saw this, looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This was the first time they saw Yi Shen so nervous and awkward in front of his aunt.

But this kind of Yi Shen is also very good. He looks more like an ordinary peer, rather than the previous one with powerful and weird abilities, ruthless and decisive means, like a superhero or anti-hero.

……

My aunt's appearance was just a small episode.

After barely getting through it, the three people's activities returned to normal.

Of course, there have been some slight adjustments to my work and rest schedule.

Because Sakurajima Mai had to go to school during the day, they set the time for the party after school. When other students participated in club activities, she also came to Yi Shen and Yamasaki An to participate in their "group activities" together.

As for the content of the event, it is naturally the regular illusion trial.

As for Yi Shen, who was unable to cast hallucinations on himself, he focused more on reading.

Yes, reading.

Mainly various books on electromagnetism and biology.

After all, he was able to perform so many tricks with his abilities in elemental power and cell manipulation by relying on the relevant knowledge he had accumulated in the past.

Without understanding the principles of electromagnetic induction, he wouldn't have been able to come up with the idea of ​​using lightning to heat things up, and he might have frozen to death in the blizzard during his last mission. Without understanding the relationship between lightning and electrical potential, he might have died in the captain's sneak attack. Without knowing the anatomy of snakes, he couldn't even defeat the alien in his first rookie trial...

Compared to the two girls who mostly rely on their bodies and weapons to fight, Yi Shen truly embodies the true meaning of the phrase "knowledge is power".

For him, useful knowledge can really be directly transformed into power!

Time passed like this day by day.

Soon, a month had passed since the end of the last mission, and a new mission was about to begin.

On this day, Yi Shen, Sakurajima Mai, and Yamasaki An gathered together, quietly waiting for the countdown for the mission to begin.

When the countdown on the game panel reached "0", the scene before the three people's eyes suddenly changed.

When they looked around clearly again, they found themselves in a church.

But more importantly, they found that there was no one else around!

"Just the three of us?"

Mai Sakurajima was a little surprised.

"Yeah, could this be the change after forming a team? Entering the same mission, it's just you and your teammates?"

Yamasaki An was also very surprised.

This made her a little worried. If the difficulty of the task was too high, would it be insufficient with only three people?

But she immediately looked at Yi Shen and felt a little relieved.

With him here, there should be no problem!

As for Yi Shen, although he was also a little surprised that there were no other players, fortunately this was a possibility he had expected, so he was not too surprised.

What he was more concerned about at this moment was their mission this time——

"Hunting vampires?"

Chapter 81: Hunting Vampires, Van Helsing

After hearing Yi Shen's words, Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai immediately opened their game panels and saw the task written on them:

[Quest World: Hunting Vampires

Mission objective: Help Van Helsing kill or seal Count Dracula, while ensuring that Van Helsing himself survives the mission.

Mission Details: In the cursed land of eastern Romania, lurks an evil vampire who calls himself Count Dracula, ruling the local population with darkness and terror. For centuries, countless people have perished at the hands of the rampant vampire and his dark monsters, while the living live in constant fear and insecurity. Finally, the Knights of the Holy Order, a secret society hidden within the Vatican, can no longer tolerate this and dispatches monster-killing expert Van Helsing to Romania to eliminate Dracula. And you, carefully selected assistants from the Vatican, will accompany him on this journey.

"Hey, it's the classic Dracula and Van Helsing story!"

Yamasaki An looked at the mission description and couldn't help but complain.

"Hmm... Helping Van Helsing eliminate Dracula, it seems like a lot of movies and TV shows have played out similar plots. I wonder what the outcome will be this time!"

Mai Sakurajima looked at the description on the panel, thoughtful.

"Well, it's indeed a classic story that's almost clichéd, but classic doesn't mean simple. We still have to be cautious."

Yi Shen said, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door:

"Let's talk about the details later. Someone is coming."

Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately turned their gaze away.

Sure enough, in the next second, with a "clang", the richly decorated heavy wooden door was pushed open with force, and a handsome uncle wearing a coat, a wide-brimmed hat, and a face full of stubble strode in, followed by a priest in red - well, judging by the color of the priest's robe, he should be a cardinal.

After the uncle walked into the room, he looked up and down at the man and two women in front of him, then frowned and said to the bishop beside him in a distrustful tone:

"Is this the helper you prepared for me?"

The old man in red robe had anticipated this and said:

"Don't underestimate them, Van Helsing. Mr. Smith and Ms. Assassin once prevented the resurrection of an evil god in the Arctic, and Ms. Xing also has extensive experience fighting monsters. They can definitely help you in your mission against Dracula!"

As he spoke, the old man turned to the three of them and introduced them:

"Three of you, this is Van Helsing, whom I mentioned earlier. Like you, he is an expert in battling inhuman monsters. On this mission, the Knights of the Holy Order hope that you can cooperate sincerely and send that blasphemous vampire to where he belongs!"

The three players listened to what the old man said, looked at each other, and were a little surprised.

What surprised them was nothing else but what the old man had just told Van Helsing about their background.

They never expected that the three people's previous experiences in other worlds would become their personal resumes in this world.

Yi Shen and Sakurajima Mai were obviously referring to their fight against cultists and destruction of the evil god's altar during the last mission, while Yamasaki An was probably talking about her experience of breaking out of the zombie siege.

This evolution game is also interesting. These things that originally happened in other worlds were slightly modified and directly used as the background settings for these players. I really don’t know whether to say it is clever or lazy.

However, compared to the ups and downs in the hearts of the three players, Van Helsing's brows relaxed slightly after listening to their "resumes".

If this old man is not bragging, then the three people in front of him are really not simple people.

"Well, I hope they are as good as you say."

He said this and nodded slightly to the three of them, accepting the arrangement.

Seeing this, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then went to the confessional in the corner of the room and turned a mechanism inside.

Along with the sound of the mechanism operating, a secret door opened, revealing a secret passage leading underground.

"follow me."

The old man walked in first, and Van Helsing followed him as if he was already used to it.

Yi Shen and the other two behind him looked at each other and hurried to catch up.

The secret passage was not long. After walking down for more than ten meters, you can see a huge space behind the end of the passage. Hundreds of scholars, technicians, and priests are busy in it. Various instruments and equipment that seem crude and primitive to Yi Shen and others but are extremely advanced in this era are placed in every corner of the room, and various experiments are being carried out.

"This is the true headquarters of our Order of the Holy Order. The finest scholars and inventors from across Europe are working for us, creating a variety of weapons to protect us humans from darkness and evil. This mission against Dracula is of the highest priority. You can choose any items you like and take them away. I hope they can be of use to you."

As the old man said this, he led the four people to a screen, then turned on a projector, and a very realistic portrait suddenly appeared on the screen.

"This is Dracula's appearance when he was still a human. He was once a devout believer, but later he abandoned his faith in the Lord and degenerated into an evil vampire."

The old man switched the slides, and the image on the screen showed another person:

"About four hundred and fifty years ago, a Transylvanian knight, Elder Valarius, swore an oath to God that unless he destroyed Dracula, no one in his family would ascend to heaven, and their souls would never rest in peace. Of course, they failed, and their family is almost extinct."

The old man sighed, and the scene changed again:

"This is his descendant, Boris Valaris, the King of the Gypsies. He disappeared about a year ago, leaving behind only a son and a daughter - Prince Wilkan and Princess Anna."

At this time, the screen switched to two photos of a man and a woman side by side. Both of them had outstanding looks, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.

"If the two of them die before Dracula is destroyed, then nine generations of the Valaris family will never be able to cross the gates of heaven!"

The old man looked at the four people, especially Van Helsing:

"For four centuries, this family has been guarding our left flank, even at the cost of their lives. We cannot watch them fall into purgatory!"

"So, now it's our turn to go deep into Hell to save them?"

Van Helsing said this, his tone heavy with a hint of teasing.

"In a way, yes."

The old man stepped forward, patted Van Helsing on the shoulder and said.

Then, he looked at Yi Shen and the other two and asked:

"Do you have any more questions?"

"There is indeed one."

Yi Shen said:

"Do you have any more information about this Count Dracula? We don't want to run into a fight without knowing anything."

"Hmm...information? I do have some, but I still hope you'll be mentally prepared. Few people can survive seeing Dracula. There's very little information about him, and the description is very vague. I don't think it will be of much use to you."

As the old man said this, he pointed to a bookshelf beside him, then pulled over a priest who was passing by and asked him to take Yi Shen and the others to find information.

"Thanks. In any case, some information is better than no information at all."

Yi Shen took the two girls over to look for information.

Van Helsing stayed where he was, continuing to talk with the old man.

After walking a little further, Yi Shen whispered to the two of them:

"I roughly know which work this mission is based on."

"Yes, I see that, too."
