Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo stood still without reacting, even when Zuo Luo's companions cast hostile and distrustful glances their way.
Zuo Luo quickly noticed his companions' lack of welcome and felt a little embarrassed. Fearing that Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo wouldn't want to travel with them, he quickly turned around and apologized to the two of them. Then he hurriedly recounted his previous experiences in detail.
"Holy water?! How is that possible? I've seen holy water before, but according to your description, the vampire chasing you must be very powerful. Even holy water couldn't possibly repel it with a single blow!"
"Heh, that's just because the holy water you've seen isn't powerful enough. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Everyone looked at Mo Shuwan, who remained calm. Then they looked at Wen Zuo, whose calm gaze held a hint of hostility, and whose stance suggested he was ready to fight at any moment.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?! Everyone, make way and let the two gentlemen in." Zuo Luo was a little angry.
Although somewhat skeptical that a high-level hunter could still be holding out in this run-down city, the group made way for Zuo Luo out of trust. Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo weren't intimidated either, and confidently walked into the house.
Upon entering the house, I found that the layout was almost identical to the place where Mr. Chen had taken me to stay for one night, with beds placed in the living room as well.
Zuo Luo followed in from behind, looking embarrassed, and said, "There are fewer and fewer vampire hunters left in this city. All the vampires are looking for the remaining vampire hunters. We were worried about being picked off one by one, so we rented a room together. At least we can help each other if something happens."
Even the other vampire hunters who still had some doubts about Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo felt embarrassed. It was quite pathetic for a vampire hunter to have fallen to such a state.
Mo Shuwan glanced around and found there was nowhere to stand, so she simply stood with Wen Zuo near the door. She turned to look at Zuo Luo and the others and said, "Now let's talk about tonight's operation."
"Tonight's the day?!"
Zuo Luo, who was tending to his wounds, almost jumped up, but he regained his senses faster than his companions. "Do you two have a plan?"
Mo Shuwan looked at Zuo Luo, who seemed to be imagining something again, and remained silent for a moment before cruelly crushing his excitement, "There's no plan yet, which is why we need to make one now."
Aside from Zuo Luo, the other vampire hunters frowned, their eyes fixed on Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo with hostility. If the two hadn't remained so calm, they would probably have been arrested as spies by now. They believed the two were vampire hunters, but not that they were high-ranking hunters.
“We only arrived in this area yesterday and are not very familiar with that building yet. We need to exchange information.”
"Of course, of course," Zuo Luo hurriedly replied. He tried to stand up but was immediately pushed back down by his companion who was treating his wounds. Helpless, he could only sit there and said apologetically, "We don't know much either. We only know that a powerful vampire noble came not long ago and is hiding in that building. There should be quite a few low- and mid-level vampires inside, but after our observation over this period of time, we found that these vampires cannot leave the building."
Mo Shuwan suppressed her surprise and finally understood where that vague sense of eeriness came from. No wonder the vampires had issued an arrest warrant for the mother and son; it turned out they couldn't leave the building at all.
“However, there are exceptions. Today, the vampire guarding the gate was allowed to leave the building, but I think his time is limited. He can’t stay away for too long. As long as we can get into the building without him, we will definitely have a chance to find that vampire noble!” Zuo Luo said through gritted teeth. The other vampire hunters also showed angry expressions on their faces, showing that they hated vampires to the bone.
“But we dare not act together. If we act together, he definitely won’t come out, but if we don’t act together, we can’t defeat him.” Zuo Luo’s face was flushed with anger. “Can the two of you handle him?”
Mo Shuwan did not answer immediately.
With the items she and Wen Zuo had exchanged, entering the building would definitely not be a problem, but only one day had passed in this world, and there were still fourteen days to go, so the exorcism potion had to be used sparingly. Mo Shuwan turned to look at Wen Zuo, wanting to know his opinion.
Wen Zuo immediately understood what she meant and nodded.
Mo Shuwan then said, "We can deal with that gatekeeper vampire, but once we enter the building, there will inevitably be many more vampires..." The more she said, the more mistakes she made, so she had to stop there, knowing the other party would just fill in the blanks.
Sure enough, Zuo Luo's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. We'll take care of those low-level vampires once we enter the building."
The other vampire hunters were clearly still reluctant. After all, they hadn't witnessed the two's true strength, and if they went rashly, they could easily be wiped out. "What means do you have to prove your strength? All the remaining vampire hunters in this city are here. If anything happens to us, this city will fall completely."
How naive... She clearly looked distrustful, yet she confessed everything in an instant.
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo felt a surge of emotion almost simultaneously.
"You can hide far away and come over after we kill the vampire guarding the gate."
Since Mo Shuwan had already said so, the group of vampire hunters couldn't say anything and had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the proposal.
Zuo Luo is an intermediate-level hunter and an indispensable combat force. Fortunately, his injuries were not particularly serious, and he had special healing medicine. After resting for about an hour, he was lively and energetic again.
"I'm fine now, let's get going." Zuo Luo looked eager to go.
"The sound of vampires can cause temporary hallucinations, so you'd better have some special earplugs on hand."
"Don't worry, sir, we have a way to block out vampire voices."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shuwan's eyelids twitched, and she said calmly, "You must understand that this opponent is extraordinary. None of us have experience fighting vampire nobles. Better safe than sorry."
This time, the group of vampire hunters all looked thoughtful, and finally nodded in agreement. Indeed, their opponents had always been low- and mid-level vampires, and no one knew just how powerful the vampire nobles were.
Mo Shuwan, who had been keeping a close eye on them, watched as one of them walked into the room and brought out a small bag containing very ordinary earplugs. But since it was a vampire hunter who had brought them out, it couldn't possibly be ordinary.
But to their surprise, the vampire hunters had no intention of giving any to Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo. They probably thought that as 'high-level hunters,' they wouldn't need this little gadget, and even if they did, they would have prepared one for themselves.
