The following morning, inside an underground exchange in another city.
A middle-aged man in a black robe was sitting listlessly in a chair, his head slightly tilted back, his eyes dim and lackluster, as if he had lost his soul.
As the camera pulls back, you can see several young Asian faces standing in front of the man, and around the floor there are piles of disarrayed black robes.
Their swollen faces and bruised noses clearly indicate that they had just been brutally beaten.
"Trouble, there's no information about Van Helsing's whereabouts in his memories."
Jian Lan lowered the index and middle fingers from her temple and looked at Wu Xian with a hint of helplessness: "This intelligence organization knows some information about the dark world, and also knows that Van Helsing comes from the Church's Sacred Knight Order and is a hunter of demons."
However, due to the Church's apprehension, the organization has never conducted a detailed investigation into the intelligence of members of the Church's Sacred Knight Order. It is only known that there were several murder cases in Berlin a week ago, which seem to be related to Van Helsing... As for where he went after that, it is not very clear."
"What should we do now, go to Berlin immediately or go directly to Romania, and wait for the female lead at her place like a rabbit by a tree?"
Upon hearing Jian Lan's words, the few Zhongzhou team members accompanying her could not help but exchange looks with each other. Among them, Zheng Zha suddenly came up with a suggestion that seemed quite reliable, but it was quickly rejected by Wu Xian.
"Waiting for the rabbit is correct, but in the movie, Van Helsing solved Dr. Jekyll in Paris and then went to the female lead's place as ordered by the Church."
But the problem is, what if that happened years later? Are we supposed to wait there for several years?"
Wu Xian shrugged his hands: "Don't forget, Count Dracula's castle is also in the area where the female lead lives. If we really waited for so long, we might have already clashed with Dracula and there would be no need to look for Van Helsing."
"Haha... Haha, that sounds right."
Zheng Zha felt embarrassed, scratched his head, and then smiled awkwardly at Xiao Dingdang... no, at Xu Xuan, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. We still have two ways to ensure finding Van Helsing, or rather, making him come to us willingly."
As if sensing Zheng Zha's gaze, Xu Xuan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"The first option is to go directly to the Vatican, entrust the Church's high-ranking officials, and ask them to send Van Helsing to help us deal with Dracula. This is the most direct and straightforward method."
However, doing so also carries quite a large risk, that is, it might attract the attention of heaven... Although the Main God has helped us forge identities, it would still be too risky to appear in the enemy's sight, so unless necessary, I don't recommend taking this approach."
Upon hearing this, the several people present all nodded thoughtfully, and Wu Xian, for some reason, seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly somewhat strangely looked at Xu Xuan and tentatively asked:
"I'll take a guess, your second method won't be to have us act as powerful dark creatures, causing chaos everywhere and attracting the attention of the Church, who would then send Van Helsing, this powerful hunter of demons, to deal with us. In this way, we could meet Van Helsing."
"It doesn't necessarily have to be everyone playing as dark creatures."
Xu Xuan nodded in agreement and then looked at Zheng Zha, who was foolishly staring, and said calmly: "It only takes Zheng Zha or Li Xiaoyi. After all, one is a bloodline and the other is a demon. They are naturally in character."
On the other hand, the others can pretend to be wild exorcists who lend a hand to Van Helsing, thereby gaining his trust through fighting side by side.
"Ah! Is it me again?"
Zheng Zha's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he couldn't help but recall the showdown scene he and Wu Xian acted out in the previous world of "The Curse."
Suddenly, he felt an itchy urge to dig a Vatican out of the ground with his toes, so he waved his hand and firmly refused, "Never mind, my acting is terrible. I can't even fool Gaya, let alone Van Helsing. Let Xiaoyi do it instead."
"Forget it, you have some acting experience. Xiao Yi, on the other hand, is a complete beginner. If he's asked to act, it would be enough if he doesn't laugh on stage. How can he deceive anyone?"
Wu Xian rolled his eyes and seeing Zheng Zha's still frowning face, he added: "Moreover, Van Helsing's strength is still an unknown quantity. If Xiao Yi is not his opponent and gets severely injured what should we do? Can you live with that?"
"Oh, well... Alright, I'll do it then. But if things go wrong, don't blame me."
Zheng Zha was speechless and could only nod in agreement with a bitter smile.
There's no way around it; that's just how the Virgin Mary is.
"No need to rush with the acting as a dark creature."
After seeing Zheng Zha agree to be the lure, Xu Xuan's glasses reflected a flash of brilliant white light.
"Now there's still some time until the plot begins, and the Main God hasn't set a deadline for completing the main task. If that's the case, we might be able to take advantage of this downtime to do something else."
"Are you suggesting... triggering other side quests?"
Upon hearing Xu Xuan's words behind him, Wu Xian quickly realized it and his eyes brightened.
"That's correct."
Xu Xuan: "As per the setting of the movie, this is a stitched-together world view, with elements of other monsters besides Count Dracula, such as Dr. Jekyll and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. If we can find these monsters and eliminate them all, we should be able to gain a lot of side quests and reward points."
"In addition, when the number of these dark creatures greatly decreases, let Zheng Zha make a high-profile debut as a vampire. This will definitely attract the attention of the Church at once and increase the chances of Van Helsing being sent over. Moreover, it can also lay the groundwork for dealing with Dracula in the future."
"The idea is good."
Jian Lan also laughed along, "The intelligence I obtained earlier includes a lot of information about the dark creatures, as well as their usual areas of activity. Now this is just what we can use."
"Very good, then let's decide like this happily."
At this point, Wu Xian turned to look at Zheng Zha again, slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "As the only bane of sin in the reincarnation squad, seeing the world being enveloped in darkness, how can our Zhongzhou team sit idly by and watch? We must act immediately to root out those dark creatures born from evil and restore a bright and prosperous future for the masses... What do you say, His Excellency the Vampire Duke?"
Zheng Zha: "..."
"Well, is it still possible to change actors at this time?"
