Chapter 2783: Time Was Life
The recent battle with the vampires at the manor had caused the blood hunter order to lose many of their blood hunters.
Since the blood hunter order was now lacking in expert manpower, many of the beginner blood hunters were taking missions to pick up the slack.
Even the blood hunter order leader herself, Darlene, had begun to take on missions.
Letting the tasks keep piling up in a corner somewhere would deal a fatal blow to the blood hunter order’s reputation.
Besides, time was life. A moment wasted could be a human life gone.
Ning Shu originally wanted to peacefully continue to cultivate, but Darlene gave her the task of leading a team of fresh, newbie blood hunters.
Ning Shu was meant to guide and teach them, and while at it, act as a bodyguard.
Ning Shu had no choice but to follow them on their vampire-hunting quests.
Ning Shu had thought that the loss of so many vampire elites would’ve made the vampires quieter.
However, unexpectedly, they’d actually been covertly creating more trouble and causing a lot of tragedies.
There was a spike in the missing people population.
It was a stormy time for the blood hunter order. Plus, since Darlene had personally talked to her, Ning Shu had no way to ignore this.
Actually, Ning Shu had a bad hunch. She felt like the vampires were trying to wage another holy war, so they could have the vampires ascend over humankind.
The original host had been torn in half by Perry and died early in the storyline development, so she didn’t know about what happened afterward.
Ning Shu’s feeling that the storyline had been very incomplete only grew stronger as time went on. The information she was given had seriously been lacking.
The whole thing was basically just the original host’s life experience and the general background of the world. She hadn’t been given anything else!
So frigging stingy.
Ning Shu carried her suitcase out of the manor. She saw two pairs of partners with apprehensive faces.
It was their first time out on a mission, so they were obviously very nervous and excited.
This time, Ning Shu was partnered with Touro.
Ning Shu saw Touro and greeted him. “So it’s just the two of us going this time. We need to make sure these younglings come back with all their limbs intact.”
Ning Shu put her suitcase in the trunk and told the four uneasy beginners to get in.
“Yes!” The four obedient newbies quickly got into the car.
Ning Shu sat in the front passenger seat and asked Touro, who was driving, “Where’s Casey?”
“He got bitten by bats and won’t be able to take missions for some time. I’ve always told him to stop wasting his energy on women. He never listens to me! Look at how he ended up now.”
Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. “How bad is it? Is it so bad that he won’t be able to have fun with women anymore?”
“…It’s not that bad. He got bitten in his hand. You know how important a blood hunter’s hands are for them.”
Ning Shu solemnly nodded. “Yes. They’re not just important for a blood hunter, but also for men.”
There was a black question mark on Touro’s face, but he just started the car and started driving.
To the four well-behaved babies sitting in the back, Ning Shu advised, “When you are doing a mission, it’s very possible that you’ll run into a bad situation. When that happens, especially if your opponent is much stronger than you, don’t bother with trying to force things and just run!”
Since they weren’t the protagonist and didn’t have a golden finger to make a comeback with, they shouldn’t insist on facing every challenge head-on.
The main characters were cockroaches that couldn’t be beaten to death. Even if their organs were rotting, they were still capable of fighting back and surviving perfectly fine. Meanwhile, an ordinary person might end up farting their last from just tripping and falling.
Ordinary people really shouldn’t compare themselves against the chosen ones.
Touro: …
The well-behaved newbies: …
Touro cleared his throat. “What Molly meant is, that you must find the most effective solution to your problems. If retreat is the best strategy, then do it.”
He then whispered to Ning Shu, “Be more tactful, would you?”
She just basically told them to become deserters…
Ning Shu nodded. “You should talk to them.”
