EP358. Something about England

I went to the tax bureau several times to get the tax filing and payment done, and when I looked at the date, it was already March.

It doesn't matter whether it's the end of February or the beginning of March. What's important is that Bayonetta's time out this time is a bit long... I said before that it would take ten days and a half, so if I work harder, I might be able to finish it in a week.

But what about now? Looking back, counting the days, more than three weeks and twenty days have passed since the day she set off for England.

What is the situation? Could it be that we encountered some difficult enemies and fell into an unmanageable situation, so...

Somewhat worried that Bayonetta would be in trouble, Shi Xiaolei quickly called Master Daniel who was in charge of the New York Temple and asked him about the news and progress in the UK.

"thank you, I know now."

"Come and sit in the store when you have time, um, okay, you're busy, I'll hang up."

Putting down the phone, Shi Xiaolei's face changed back and forth like a chameleon for a while. After almost half a minute, he took a long breath and shook his head in confusion.

"Is Bayonetta okay?" Sitting aside, 2b clearly saw every detail of Shi Xiaolei's expression. 2b was also a little curious about what the situation was that made him react like this.

"We did encounter some situations, but it's okay..." Turning his head and looking at 2b, Shi Xiaolei told the news he had just heard from Master Daniel.

.....................

As early as a month ago, around the Spring Festival, Shi Xiaolei and his party were still staying in China.

The mages stationed in the London Temple discovered some anomalies. After investigation, they found the origin of the bug that caused the magic network - a rather ancient castle located in the Scottish Highlands in the northern part of the Kingdom of Britain.

It has obviously been nationalized and is being looked after and repaired by an organization similar to the Cultural Relics Administration. Ordinarily, under the inspection of a national scientific research institution, this castle should have been searched inside and out. It is impossible.

There are still some secrets that have not been discovered. But in fact, when investigating this castle, the mages clearly felt an abnormal fluctuation of magic power. Moreover, the magic power that caused this fluctuation was still

The type that is very dark and obscure, so filthy and disgusting that it makes people feel uncomfortable whenever they get close to it.

How dirty is it? After entering the castle and walking around for only half a day, two of the three mages fell into a high fever coma. The remaining one, although he did not lose his mind,

However, he was also severely mentally damaged and lost 90% of his ability.

The situation was very serious and he did not dare to be careless. The mage stationed in the London Temple immediately opened a portal and returned to Kama Taj to report the matter to his boss.

Unfortunately, because he was dealing with another demon from another dimension, Ancient One couldn't spare his time to handle the matter personally. Even because he needed to use the backtracking ability of the Eye of Agamotto to ensure that he was undefeated, she

I can't even 'retrace the timeline and investigate the details of the incident'.

In this way, the task of resolving the crisis was entrusted by Ancient One to Bayonetta, whose ability was second only to his own.

Speaking of which, why did Bayonetta leave home and go to England before the New Year was over? Why did Bayonetta, with that kind of strength, say, 'It might take ten days and a half to finish the job'? That's right.

Because the situation happened too suddenly and violently, and it was like being shrouded in a layer of fog, without any clue.

Fortunately, Bayonetta also has a plug-in.

Although it is not as capable as the Eye of Agamotto, which can go back to the timeline long ago, as a witch with the Eye of the World, Bayonetta can also cast some special magic related to time.

Using this ability, Bayonetta spent a few days and finally figured out what was going on with the curse that broke out in the castle.

That was the chaos caused by the few remaining vampire elders!

Do you still remember that on Halloween, when Shi Xiaolei led a team to raid the secret vampire base on Long Island, they arrested seven vampire elders?

They are called elders in the entire vampire clan, but in their own clan, those seven are all out-and-out clan leaders.

There are only thirteen clans in total, excluding the two secret party clans that have been hidden from the world and have not been involved in worldly affairs for hundreds of years, as well as the two demon party clans that were completely wiped out in the previous battle with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Only nine branches are still active. In seven of them, the clan leaders have been captured.

For vampires, what kind of concept is that? It is no exaggeration to say that it can be described as a 'catastrophe'.

Seeing that the clan was about to be exterminated, the remaining vampires finally united, putting aside the long-standing partisan barriers and ignoring the differences in clan origins, and gathered around the two remaining clan leaders.

Gathering people is only the first step.

After that, the vampires also made many efforts, such as using the last batch of secrets buried in the upper echelons of mankind, and taking risks to obtain nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in order to provide themselves with insurance. Another example is, using their own abilities to

To take advantage of extraordinary creatures, find ways to find a way out through magic.

The previous plan did not succeed under SHIELD's close surveillance.

But what is disturbing is that the group of vampires who looked through ancient books and wanted to rely on black magic to turn themselves around actually found something useful - it was a record that was handed down from an unknown time. According to this

According to the description in the record, vampires can summon the true originator of the blood race through some kind of magical ritual and by offering sacrifices... It is not the Cain mentioned in the Bible, nor the famous piercing in history.

Gong, but an evil god named 'Blood God' from another dimension.

I finally found a straw that might save my life, so of course I had to hold on to it.

For the desperate vampires, style, tradition, honor, etc. are not important. At such a critical moment of life and death, they will not consider whether the routine of "calling them parents if they can't be beaten" will be despised by humans.

The vampires who fell into madness came out in droves.

In just two months, they not only captured the elusive Day Walker, the black superhero named "Blade". They also caused many murders around the world, and they recklessly pieced together

Nearly ten thousand liters of fresh human blood was obtained. Finally, they selected a dozen elite vampires from different clans and extracted six fist-sized blood cores at the cost of their lives...

The blood core formed by the condensed essence of a vampire is the 'key' to start the magic ritual.

The blood of the Sunwalker, that is, the Blade Warrior, is the 'tribute' needed to communicate with the Blood God.

The nearly ten thousand liters of fresh human blood is the ‘fuel’ that needs to be consumed during the continuation of the magic ritual.

Everything is ready, only the place and time are needed... After all, the object of summoning is a demon from another dimension, not a kitten or puppy. Just like when launching a satellite to land on the moon, you need to calculate all the data in advance. You want to ensure the magic

For the ceremony to be successful, you also need to choose a day when the magic power is relatively active, and choose a location where the world's crystal wall is relatively weak and easier to break through.

So, which one is more suitable? Which day is the best time to choose?

Let’s talk about the location first.

Since it is a magic ceremony, it is inevitable to set up a magic circle.

In order for the magic circle to continue to operate, in addition to blood as 'fuel', magic power is also essential.

It is not easy to find places with abundant magical energy. At this time, the vampires have already fallen into an extremely critical situation and have no time to search slowly.

In desperation, they had no choice but to choose the castle, which is only more than 700 to 800 kilometers away from London in a straight line, as the venue for the ceremony - if the magic network covering the entire earth is compared to a water supply network,

Then, London, Hong Kong, and New York are equivalent to reservoirs or water towers. As we all know, the closer the faucet is to the water tower, the greater the water output... The castle chosen by the vampires happens to be closest to London

At a magic network node. By holding a ceremony there, more magic power can be mobilized and borrowed. The success rate will definitely be higher than that achieved in other places.

As for why not simply go to London, New York or Xiangjiang to find a more private corner and secretly hold magic rituals... Shi Xiaolei and a group of people just raided the base camp in the suburbs of New York, and the vampires were already frightened.

They were frightened. At this time, not long ago, they did not have the courage to go to a large city with a large population to engage in mischief.

If you dare not go to London, Hong Kong, or New York, which have the most abundant magic power, you can only settle for the next best thing and choose the node closest to the magic hub. In fact, according to this standard, the vampires actually picked out several alternative places,

For example, it is a small city located in the north of Xiangjiang, in the Guangdong Province of China, or Detroit is located a little due west and north of New York, about 700 to 800 kilometers away.

The country of Hua is too mysterious, and its crackdown on monsters and monsters is too severe, so I don't even dare to go there.

As for Detroit, although it is in decline and is about to go bankrupt, at the end of the day, it is still a big city with a large number of people living together.

You have to choose, it is relatively close to London, and this node in the Scottish Highlands is the most remote and secluded.

Now let’s talk about time.

Again, the person the vampires want to summon is an alien-dimensional demon, not some kitten or puppy.

The bigger the background, the more difficult it is to invite them. Demon gods also want to save face, and it doesn't mean that you can just draw circles and say a few compliments and you can invite them.

According to the records on the parchment that was pulled out, the magic ritual lasted as little as seven days and as long as thirteen days. In short, it had to last for a long time before the man named 'Blood God' could be summoned on a full moon night.

'The evil god.

The vampires' choice is...

They were afraid of being discovered early, and they were afraid that the time would not be long enough to persuade the devil. After careful consideration, they set the duration of the ceremony to ten days.

The night of the full moon is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Counting ten days forward from that day, the vampires started to hold the ceremony on the fifth day of the lunar calendar.

In this way, the entire timeline is sorted out.

Around the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the vampires began to perform rituals, which caused abnormal fluctuations in magic power and attracted the attention of the mages in the London Temple.

The mage sent to investigate was cursed. One day later, the news was fed back to Karma Taj, and another day later...

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Bayonetta got the news, and on the eighth day of the lunar month, she left home and rushed to England.

.....................

"In other words, when there are still three or four days before the deadline, Bayonetta has already seen through the secret and investigated the matter clearly?" Looking at Shi Xiaolei, 2b blinked in confusion: "Then why

If she doesn’t take action immediately, will she interrupt the ceremony that’s already in the middle?”

"Greedy is not enough, what else can it be?" Shi Xiaolei spread his hands in confusion: "There are not only one or two demons who have signed a contract with Sister Bei. She usually works a lot to support those demons. It is rare to meet them.

When she gets a big deal, if she doesn't make a fortune, hey, do you think she's willing to miss the opportunity?"

"But isn't she afraid that the evil gods summoned by the vampires are too powerful and she can't deal with them?"

"You know how strong Sister Bei's self-confidence is." Thinking of a possibility, Shi Xiaolei unconsciously raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "It might also be because of the gift I gave her during the New Year.

, which made her bolder."

"That long sword?"

"Yeah." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "Despite the appearance, it's nothing special. It's similar to those handicrafts you can buy online. In fact..."

A total of three blind boxes were opened that day. In addition to the Hot Wheels that were opened in the first blind box, the results of the other two 'luck draws'... The Liannu, usually named Yafanlin, comes from "Dark Souls"

3》. There is also a wooden shield, from "Bloodborne".

Although Yafanlin is the best crossbow in "Dark Souls 3" and the wooden shield is also known as the best shield in Yharnan, that's only in the game.

In reality, no matter how powerful Yafanlin is, can it be compared to Gatling? Let alone Gatling, even the Chicago typewriter, which has been eliminated for a long time and no one uses it, can still be compared to scum.

As for the wooden shield, that thing is a joke. Even in the kitchen of Shi Xiaolei's store, you can find a more useful 'shield' than it.

Taking those two things as New Year's gifts to his family? Shi Xiaolei is just a little stupid, not a retarded person with a lot of mush in his head.

All in all, the things you get out of the blind box are not suitable for giving away, so you have to think of other ways.

Thinking that Kangna's body is also a dragon, I made her a bunch of vegetable cakes and barbecues that are favorites of dinosaurs according to the recipes in "Ark: Survival Evolved"; because Yixian likes to study cooking, he made her two big

The high-quality honey produced in the jar of the Ark; for 2b, although he didn’t know if she could use it, because he had no choice, Shi Xiaolei finally gave her some energy elements that could only be dropped by the boss...

The gifts for the three girls were all obtained from the Ark, except for the one given to Bayonetta.

Thinking that Bayonetta knew how to use magic, she might be able to activate the attributes on the equipment, and she often had to fight, so Shi Xiaolei picked out a weapon named

The crystal sword of 'Cyan Wrath' was given to her as a New Year's gift.

This sword comes with an attribute of ‘gaining level 10-13 Shelter Aura after equipping it’.

Why did Shi Xiaolei say such a thing just now? The reason lies in this attribute.

The aura of the sanctuary is designed to kill undead creatures. Vampires, as well as the ancestor blood gods they summoned, also belong to the undead clan in terms of biological classification, and they happen to be restrained to death by the 'Green Wrath'.
