If Li Yuebai could travel back to the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing he would do is to find Master Tang, raise his thumb and shout three times, "Master is wise."

This book "Blood Charm Examination" is basically equivalent to "Introduction to Vampires"!

Although the classical Chinese text was written in vertical traditional Chinese characters, which was very tiring to read, Li Yuebai gambled his dignity as an excellent Chinese teacher and still understood it all.

The content recorded here, in layman's terms, is that more than a decade ago, in 1500 AD, the conflict between hunters and vampires reached its peak in Europe, culminating in a decisive battle.

In the final battle, the hunters were almost wiped out, and the vampires were severely damaged at the cost of their lives. Some vampires chose to hibernate, while the rest were forcibly sealed. Regardless of voluntary hibernation or forcible sealing, the result was the same - the vampire's body shrunk to the size of a palm and was sealed in various objects.

There are no hunters left alive, so few people know about this, and even less is known - when these vampires will wake up again.

The Vatican says they are sealed forever, until the end of time.

However, the priest who wrote this book was very skeptical about this statement.

He wrote in his native language: "I am very worried about the reality that they will wake up. When that time comes, the world will be ruled by darkness again. Maybe in just a hundred years, maybe in a long thousand years. In short, they will wake up, and we will be powerless to stop them."

"The result is 500 years." Li Yuebai said to himself: "From 1500 to now, it's a little more than 500 years."

As for Countess Karnstein and maid Ampsha... these names can actually be easily searched on the Internet. The Internet says that Countess Karnstein is a vampire noblewoman with her own fiefdom. In her basement, there are countless corpses of young girls. Maid Ampsha is of course a famous vampire maid in history, and her methods are also cruel...

However, in "Blood Charm", it is said that they are not the name of a specific vampire, but a general term for a certain type of vampire.

There are many kinds of vampires, each with a common name. There may be hundreds of Countess Karnstein and hundreds of maids Ampsha. The common hobby of Countess Karnstein is to suck the blood of virgins, while the maid Ampsha specializes in the blood of virgins.

All vampires have some degree of mind control ability.

Before this large-scale hibernation, individual vampires had experienced very rare cases of hibernation, and there had also been cases of vampires possessing humans after hibernation, which were also recorded by the priests.

It is said that if the possession time is very short, the vampire level is not high, and the power is not strong, garlic can be used to drive away the dormant body.

However, if the possession time is long, the vampire is of a higher level, or the power is strong, no amount of garlic will be of any use.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaoting's luck was not too bad and she encountered the former situation.

At that time, Li Yuebai used garlic juice just as a last try. If the garlic juice didn't work... then he would probably have to make the most cruel choice - to destroy the vampire together with Ma Xiaoting.

Fortunately, fortunately it was still in time.

"Blood Charm" also specifically mentions a long-lost sacred object called the "Forbidden Silver Rope".

Ban the Silver Rope?

Li Yuebai immediately took out the silver ring from the evidence bag.

Now it looks quiet, a small, shiny circle, and nothing special.

Li Yuebai found two pliers with insulated handles and tried to pull it open like last time.

The result is that the texture remains unchanged.

That's not right. I clearly pulled it open with my hands last time and burned my hands...

Is it possible that hands can do it but tools can’t?

After reading Master Tang's book, it was clearly written that direct contact with human flesh and blood was necessary to open the silver rope.

This still doesn't seem right. I was wearing plastic gloves last time, so it can't be considered direct contact with flesh and blood, right?

After thinking about it again, I understood that the surface of the gloves had been stained with blood during the autopsy process, so they could be pulled open.

Li Yuebai hardened his heart, opened a pack of sterile disposable needles, and pricked his hand with his eyes closed.

Blood dripped onto the silver ring, and then it was pulled with the pliers. After a burst of sparks, it actually opened! The silver ring was pulled longer and longer, and then thinner and thinner, until it became a necklace.

When it was stretched to about 40 centimeters in circumference, it became quiet, no longer burning, and no longer emitting terrible sparks.

Li Yuebai poked it carefully with his index finger, and only after finding that it was fine did he dare to pick it up with both hands - it was now completely a soft silver necklace, and it even had a buckle that could be unfastened and worn around the neck.

Li Yuebai unfastened the knot and put it on the table leg like a necklace.

The table is retro and has been placed in the living room for many years and has hardly ever been moved. The legs are thick and made of stainless steel, heavy and sturdy. There is a small protrusion on the leg that is just big enough to hold the necklace and prevent it from falling.

Li Yuebai turned on the camera on his mobile phone and started filming.

For a minute, nothing happened.

For two minutes, nothing happened.

For three minutes, nothing happened.

Three minutes passed, and the second hand had just jumped to zero when there was a clang! The table, which had been as still as a mountain, suddenly tilted to one side.

The heavy table legs were twisted into a painful shape by the seemingly slender and fragile necklace.

There was a clanging sound of metal, and the part where the table leg was pinched became thinner and thinner, and deformed due to the ductility of the stainless steel...Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the table fell over, and the table leg was completely broken in half.

The whole process takes only ten seconds.

The silver necklace that fell on the floor also turned into the shape of a silver ring again.

"What are you doing?" Ye Qing came out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair. He looked at Li Yuebai and the table legs that he had broken. His eyes, which always remained calm, narrowed slightly.

"Let's do an experiment." Li Yuebai stood up: "There is no doubt about the cause of Xu Lili's death."

The dormant body that called itself the maid Ampsha was not dormant on its own, but was sealed into a hollow castle stone by a vampire hunter, and the coffin that imprisoned it was tightly bound with a silver chain. The coffin was made of a special material and was very hard. It was not as easy to be strangled as a metal table leg, but at most it was strangled to leave a few marks, and it was tightly sealed. Without help from outside, the dormant body could not escape even if it woke up.

But not long after it woke up, the castle stone was sold to Xu Lili.

The dormant body could not escape, but could use the little mental control ability it had to seduce Xu Lili little by little. Because the distance was too close, Xu Lili had no way to escape and was unable to extricate herself unknowingly.

She wrote in her diary: I want to open a box - this was the hint given to her by the dormant body, tempting her to open the castle stone.

She wanted a necklace - it was also a hint from the dormant body to let her take down the silver chain that sealed her.

This temptation became stronger day by day, and finally one day, Xu Lili opened the stone and found a small black coffin inside, as well as a sealing silver chain wrapped around the coffin. At this time, without the barrier of the stone, the dormant body's mind control ability became stronger. Xu Lili stretched out her hands almost madly and uncontrollably, grabbed the small black coffin tightly, and then desperately used her hands to pull off the sealing silver chain!

That's why she has such shocking scars on her hands.

When she finally removed the silver chain, it had been torn into the length of a necklace.

The temptation of the dormant body was still working. Xu Lili looked at the necklace with a satisfied smile. She uncontrollably put it on her neck like a real necklace. She couldn't help but take a selfie with the camera on her computer and sent it to her friends using the chat software.

At this time, the dormant body also escaped from the coffin. It floated behind Xu Lili and was also captured by the camera.

Three minutes after taking the photo, the original "necklace" began to tighten horribly!

Xu Lili had almost no time to struggle before her neck was strangled by the silver rope. Her body fell to the ground, blood splattered, and her head rolled to the side.

The dormant entity probably felt that her body was too weak and that it would take all its magical powers to repair its wounds, so it simply gave up the idea of ​​possessing her and decided to sit back and wait.

Not long after, Xu Lili's roommate Ma Xiaoting came back.

The dormant body was also not in a hurry to possess Ma Xiaoting - although Ma Xiaoting was weak, she was conscious, not unconscious, not seriously injured, and not dying, so it was impossible to possess her. It was better to wait quietly.

What happened next was what Li Yuebai and Ye Qing experienced personally.

These two days, after Ma Xiaoting finished her statement, she was accompanied by someone sent by the bureau to the hospital for a physical examination. The results showed that her body was still that of a normal human being and she was not affected by the possession. Perhaps it was because the dormant body was afraid of garlic and left her body early, so it did not reach an irreversible step.

Now Ma Xiaoting has returned home safely, but the psychological trauma cannot be erased in a short time. Li Yuebai plans not to inform her of the truth of the case for the time being, so that she can recover quietly.

"The matter of the Sealing Silver Rope has been clarified." Li Yuebai put the silver ring back into the evidence bag and picked up the ancient castle stone again: "But we still don't know where the remaining dormant bodies are hiding. For example, this stone, from the appearance, is completely indistinguishable from ordinary stones. Do we really have to wait and see and rush in when a case occurs?"

"This is the only way for now." Ye Qing nodded.

"There is actually a method, theoretically." Li Yuebai frowned. "Since the dormant body is hiding in its hiding place, it can use its mind control ability to control the humans who are close to it. Then, as long as we see who is particularly suspicious and has abnormal behavior in recent days, we can judge that there is a dormant body nearby, or a vampire that has already broken out of its shell."

"It's not feasible in practice." Ye Qing poured cold water on him with the truth: "There are too many people. You can't monitor everyone. It's also difficult to distinguish whether everyone's abnormal behavior is related to the vampire's mind control."

"That's right..." Li Yuebai sighed.

"Oh, Xiaoye." He suddenly remembered: "What's going on overseas, especially in Europe?"

Vampires used to be most numerous in Europe. Now that vampires are awakening one after another, the chaos in Europe will only be more serious than in China.

"I've already seen their internal information." Ye Qing turned the computer screen around to show Li Yuebai: "Like us, they are in the initial stage of understanding and have not made it public at all."

In fact, from several terrorist attacks in recent years, it can be seen that the police force and response capabilities of some European countries are not as good as before.

I'm afraid that the various countries have begun to contact each other privately about this matter. After all, resisting vampires is the responsibility of all mankind. However, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which is more difficult than counter-terrorism.

Li Yuebai was just about to go back to the bureau with Ye Qing to see if there were any new developments when his cell phone rang.

The phone screen showed that the caller was Liang Jing, Liang Tian’s sister.

Li Yuebai was a little hesitant to answer it for a moment.

Last time at the scene of Liang Tian's murder, Liang Jing lost control of her emotions and blamed herself, saying that Liang Tian's death was all her fault. Li Yuebai knew very well that Gu Xisha had done nothing wrong, but he had to take Liang Jing's feelings into consideration. Compared with the pain of a relative's death, being scolded was nothing.

If you stick your head out, you will be cut by the knife. If you retract your head, you will be cut by the knife. Li Yuebai answered the phone before the first ring was over.

"Hello, Gu Xisha! I'm Liang Jing." Liang Jing's voice was still hysterical: "I'm reporting a case. Come to the Biological Research Center as soon as possible. I&%...%...￥"

She spoke the last sentence too anxiously to be heard clearly.

"Okay, we'll go right over there." Li Yuebai replied sharply, "How are you now?"

"I'm not hurt." Liang Jing also quickly replied: "My husband... my husband turned into a snake!"
