Vampire Hunter (10)
On the weekend, at 4 pm, Tang Xiaoxiao got up from bed, rubbed messy hair, washed his face, put on T-shirt and big pants, sat in front of the computer, grabbed a bag of potato chips, and started the day's work. .
Tang Xiaoxiao is an Internet writer who writes horror and supernatural novels with male frequency. He signed a contract with Heiding Chinese.com for five years and completed several long stories. Although he is not a top god, he is considered a small celebrity. It is also known by subscription and rewards. The above is a good income, that is, life is reversed day and night, every day the code word is in the middle of the night, and then I lie down and wake up the next afternoon.
However, the code word was not so smooth today. The outline that had been planned for a long time encountered a small problem and needed to be overthrown and restarted. Tang Xiaoxiao was very irritated and cracked a keyboard.
When I was upset, there was a knock on the door.
"Who? I paid the utility bills!" Tang Xiaoxiao wailed the gong and howled vigorously.
A calm male voice sounded outside the door: "From the Public Security Bureau." From the
Public Security Bureau! Tang Xiaoxiao was so scared that he almost threw the keyboard out, and began to carefully reflect on what he had written recently.
Is it because the supporting actresses in recent chapters are too hot? Could it be that I accidentally bumped into a high-voltage line that was not allowed to write? The conscience of heaven and earth, what □□, what high-level cadres, what red and black, what police and criminals, he didn't write anything!
"Look... what's the matter with me?" Tang Xiaoxiao responded boldly.
"...Check the water meter." The male voice outside the door was still so calm.
Kao Kao, I don't even bother to make up excuses. Where is the bullish public security!
Tang Xiaoxiao pulled his slippers and opened the door. Two men stood outside the hollow security door, neither of them looked like a policeman. They were dressed in casual clothes, and their looks were so high that they looked like those male heroes defeated by ordinary heroes in online novels.
But a closer look reveals that the temperament and aura are different from ordinary people. The one with the slightly long hair looks fierce and strong at first glance, and the other one is too calm and cold, and not grounded.
Ye Qing showed the police card through the hollow security door, and politely asked if he could enter.
Tang Xiaoxiao scratched his head and let them in.
"That's it. We read the novel you published--" Li Yuebai went straight to the subject.
"Wow..." Tang Xiaoxiao was desperate, covering his face in pain, and howling: "Why! What did I write wrong again? Why don't you catch the top-ranked "Young Abin" giant? But all the pornography is written, why do you catch me! I am not convinced, I want to appeal!"
"It's not about arresting you." Li Yuebai couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly appeased: "There are some aspects of the novel that need to be consulted."
Gu Xisha's face looked a bit fierce. In order to pretend to look like Li Yuebai a few days ago, he also made himself fierce, but now he still couldn't stretch it anymore.
"Isn't that still a euphemism for asking me for tea?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Qing handed over a piece of printing paper blankly.
It is full of keywords.
The vampire, the Countess of Carnstein, the maid Ampusha, the retractable silver necklace, the possession, the mind control...
Tang Xiaoxiao took the paper and looked at it, and scratched his head if he could not understand it. Have you written it?"
"I don't even remember it?"
"Just my hand speed is more than 10,000 today, how can I remember so much after finishing so many long stories...?" Tang Xiaoxiao cried out.
"Then I will help you remember." Li Yuebai stood up and paced back and forth on the floor that had been cleaned for more than ten days: "Over the years, there have been a lot of works about vampires, such as novels, movies, TV series, anime... In these works, the mode of reproduction of vampires is generally set as [First Embrace]." The
so-called first embrace is a classic setting-a vampire uses a complicated method to select a certain human After the ritual is completed, the human will become a vampire and join the blood clan.
In Tang Xiaoxiao's novels, there is no such thing as a first embrace.
In other works, vampires are immortal and always live in the world.
In Tang Xiaoxiao's novel, in the 16th century, vampires were defeated by hunters, and they were all hidden in the form of dormant bodies, hidden in various artifacts and bricks, falling into a long dormant period, and there was no news in the world. Only wait until the time is right, then break out of the shell, attach to humans, and live with them.
It is exactly the same as the recent facts.
Not only this, but in all other aspects, it can match Tang Xiaoxiao's novel.
"So, why on earth do you know so much?" Li Yuebai looked at the otaku writer in front of him questioningly. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this man was pure in nature, not like a scheming person, let alone knowing a big secret. People.
"Comrade police, you can't disclose the secret of creation at will, right?" Tang Xiaoxiao scratched his head, and rolled his eyes: "I rely on this to eat. I tell you, doesn't it mean that I've smashed my job?"
"Tang Xiaoxiao, don't hippie smileys "Li Yuebai put on a serious tone: "Do you know why we asked you to ask this?"
"Why?"
"Recently, there was a murder case in the south of the city. The murderer left a diary at the murder scene." Li Yue made up a lie without blinking his eyes: "The content in the diary coincides with the content of your novel, so you are suspicious."
"Hey!" Tang Xiaoxiao was startled, jumping three feet high: " You can't just wrong the good people casually, I have alibi! I have the right to remain silent! I, I still need a lawyer to defend!"
"The words written in the diary are the exclusive terms in your novel." Ye Qinghuang Shook the piece of paper.
"Is it possible that my readers committed the crime?" Tang Xiaoxiao argued. He felt that he was at a loss. His readers only watched the thrills, and even the protagonist's father's name might not be remembered after reading.
"You might as well simply disclose the source of your inspiration and the source of your setting." Li
Yuebai said, "It saves time and effort than hiring a lawyer, right?" "Okay, okay!" Tang Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and agreed. .
He drew a thick notebook from the bookshelf and opened it. It was full of characters that no one knew. It was ugly and scribbled, and it was mixed with many pictures and circles.
"Vampire... Vampire... That book seems to have been opened four years ago..." Tang Xiaoxiao turned the dirty pages of this book.
"What is this notebook?"
Tang Xiaoxiao explained angrily: "It's my handwritten outline. Before opening the article, I will write down any messy ideas."
"It is not easy to recognize the words." Li Yue Bai sincerely admired.
"Yes!" Tang Xiaoxiao turned to a page and pointed to the black words on it: "I remember it clearly, I found the setting from an ancient book in my house!"
"An ancient book?" Li Yue Bai and Ye Qing looked at each other.
"Yes ah yes ah." Tang Xiaoxiao a racking our brains, suddenly: "From all grilled the top down is not my pot, the pot of ancient books is that you say that the murderer must have been watching too old books!!!"
Wrote The hands are more or less obsessed with antiquities. The ancient book Tang Xiaoxiao said is also well preserved. When it is taken out of the safe, it is covered with a layer of plastic paper to prevent oxidation.
Open the plastic paper, inside is a blue silk-faced paper book with three large characters "Blood Charm Kao" written on it.
Tang Xiaoxiao took out two pairs of disposable plastic gloves and handed them to Li Yuebai and Ye Qing, and exhorted: "Comrade policemen should take care of the lives and property of the masses, right? So you should be careful when looking through them. Don't break them. But the book from the Ming Dynasty is precious."
"Ming Dynasty?" Li Yuebai opened it carefully, and he saw the "Zhengde" date written on the page.
Looking at the postscript, it turned out to be a sentence at the beginning: Portuguese Missionaries of the
Society of Jesus ...The Society of Jesus was an organization of Christian missionaries at that time.
"Hey! This is great. It is an important evidence of cultural exchange between the East and the West." Li Yuebai was taken aback. He often told his students in class that Western European missionaries came to China for a lot of cultural exchanges in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. There is a well-known Matteo Ricci who co-authored many technical books in China with officials and scholars of the Ming Dynasty.
"No!" Tang Xiaoxiao triumphed: "This book was written by our ancestors and Portuguese missionaries during the Ming Dynasty."
"How did your ancestors know Portuguese missionaries?" Li Yuebai was curious.
"Ahem, our ancestors settled in Guangzhou, Guangdong. It is close to the sea, and it has been relatively open since the Ming Dynasty. It is not unusual to meet foreigners." Tang Xiaoxiao was full of pride: "My ancestor, Grandpa Tang, He is a scholar, but he is still a madman. He has never followed the old fashioned way. At that time, he was an avant-garde! After coming and going, he hooked up with foreigners." The
title of the book is "Blood Charm Kao", and the content is of course a testimony to vampires. the study.
According to Tang Xiaoxiao, the old Tang in his family is really a romantic figure. He has been very interested in the stories of gods, mystical and mysterious ghosts, such as Shanhaijing, Tang legends, and Buddhist memorial books since he was a child. In my spare time, I have some spare money, so I visit the north and the south to visit the mountains and rivers every day, inquiring about the deeds of various ghosts and monsters. The family has built a large library that does not store the books of sages, but only the books of ghosts.
One day, I heard that a few new missionaries had arrived on the western ship, and they planned to live in the Ming Dynasty for a few years. They needed to talk to the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and those pedantic and orthodox scholars did not want to see these red-haired and blue-eyed foreign devils. On the contrary, Elder Tang was interested, and he went to see each other without saying anything. At first, he couldn't understand the language, so he relied on gestures. He ate and lived and swam for a while, but he was able to say something.
As time went on, and the relationship got deeper and deeper, Mr. Tang's brains squirmed again, thinking to himself, this book of ghosts and monsters from the Ming Dynasty, I have almost received it, I don't know what ghosts are there in this Western world? He kept asking.
The missionary sternly told him that there are ten thousand ghost leaders, called Satan, and Satan is the source of all evil and must be criticized.
Elder Tang had finished listening to the story of Satan, but he didn't give up and asked about other things, but the missionary kept secret and refused to say it.
A few years later, the one of the missionaries who had a particularly close relationship with Mr. Tang was bitten by a poisonous insect while he was going to the countryside to preach, and he could not afford to be ill. When Mr. Tang saw that his friend was seriously ill, he was anxious in his eyes. He hurriedly sent someone to take him to the mansion to take care of him, and he also chatted and talked with him in front of the couch every day.
The missionary knew that there was not much time, and was also moved by the care of Mr. Tang. After waking up from a coma, he finally confided the secret, which was the secret of vampires.
Old man Tang was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly transcribed it by himself. With just one dictation and one transcript, he completed the book "Blood Charm Kao" before his sickbed. Soon after the book was written, the missionary passed away.
The content of this book is mysterious and mysterious, and Elder Tang didn't dare to copy it more. He just copied ten collections of his own and left it to future generations.
Hundreds of years later, after wars, famines, and many book-destroying disasters, most of the ten copies of "Blood Charm Kao" were also lost. Only this one miraculously escaped and stayed in Tang Xiaoxiao's hands.
"I wanted to open a cool article on the subject of vampires. I always found it to be the same and boring when looking up the information." Tang Xiaoxiao scratched his head and said, "I turned over the book left by my ancestors and checked the contents. It's really exciting. I didn't look at it carefully, so I used all the settings inside."
"This book, we need to bring it back to the bureau and study it." Li Yuebai said: "Afterwards
Return the original." "This..." Tang Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed.
"You can pay the rent." Ye Qing said.
Tang Xiaoxiao immediately held out the credit card machine with both hands.The author has something to say:
Thanks to the landmine of the little angel Su Ruo, okay. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!!
