"Are you looking for a place called Yoofold?" The tall and thin man asked casually, but it made Hao Ren and Vivienne nervous for a moment. The latter controlled his body with years of concentration. However, Hao Ren couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "How do you know?!"

At this time, Hao Ren was ready to draw his sword and splatter blood for five steps - even if there was no sword nearby, he could just grab a stool and make do with it. In fact, there is no need for him to be so nervous, it’s just that this guy usually watches too many blockbuster movies, and since he received such a mysterious mission from Raven 12345, he has brought himself into James Bond Well, it's the first time for me to be exposed to this kind of "secret mission" with the mentality of a plain-headed ordinary person. It would be bluffing to say that I am not nervous. Hao Ren is currently in a state of complete panic, and everyone within 200 meters of him will pant. The upright creatures are all imaginary enemies...

But the strange man in front of him just grinned and pointed to Lily, who was still eating hazel: "Just now, this girl was looking for someone to ask about Yoofold, but the Chinese she spoke, except for the waiter here No one besides me can understand, I'm curious what you guys are doing there?" Hao Ren immediately gave Lily a sideways glance - the latter was staring at the vegetable salad on the plate so she didn't see it at all. But it’s not to blame for Lily’s bold action, because Hao Ren and the others can almost confirm that “Yofold” is not a place name on the current version of the British map. They can only roughly judge it from the vague information provided by Raven 12345. Where is it and how far is it from London? If you want to find that place, there seems to be no good way except to ask the locals.

It's just that it's a little hard for this bastard to speak pure Chinese and ask someone for directions here. Does she think that the translation function of the data terminal is still shared by the team

"We are tourists." Vivienne had been trying to maintain an elegant eating demeanor before, and stopped to relieve Hao Ren at this moment, "But I don't like those tourist attractions that have been overused by people. I like Finding those small places that few people set foot in is just like exploring. A while ago we knew the place name Yoofold in a book, and it happened that we were going to stay in the UK for a while on the tourist route, so we decided to take a detour here Check it out. But no one seems to know where this Yofold is exactly?"

Hao Ren secretly gave Vivian a thumbs up: This good-for-nothing vampire is finally useful once, this lie comes out as soon as it opens its mouth, and you can see how well it is made up! Vivian made a victory gesture under the table calmly: She has been sensible since the time when humans carved cuneiform characters on clay tablets. I dare not say anything else, but I still have a little bit of deception.

The strange man looked at Hao Ren and the others, and he didn't seem to have any suspicions. He showed a dazed look: "Oh, tourism, that's true. The place is a bit famous recently, but you must not be able to find the place name 'Joofold'. Arrived."

"Do you know that place?!" Lily's ears pricked up, she raised her head with half a vegetable in her mouth, and almost threw the salad dressing in his face, "You want to go there too?"

"It looks like we can walk together," the tall and thin man laughed, "Youfold is the name of that place a long time ago, at least a few hundred years ago, and now no one remembers this place name, so it is more professional It can be found in geography books or reference books, and I don’t know how you saw this name. It used to be the fief of a certain honored nobleman, and then it was abandoned for a while, and a new small one slowly rose next to the old fief. The town, that town is called Broussard—if you want to see Yofold, the closest place should be Broushard, which is south of the old site of Yofold, and I will go there too." …

"I'm going... so detour..." Hao Ren couldn't help being speechless, "How bad is that white-haired witch? The place name was hundreds of years ago, and now the old site is still deserted..."

Vivienne also shook her head and complained: "The information is outdated, it's really unreliable."

Hao Ren glared at her: "Shut up if you can only speak Old English eight or nine hundred years ago."

Vivienne immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, and Lily raised her head curiously with her mouth full of vegetable leaves and asked: "Old English? What Old English?" She couldn't remember what happened at all.

"Eat yours, so many dishes can't stop your mouth," Hao Ren pushed Lily's head back, and then looked at the stranger across the table with a little surprise, "This is really a coincidence, I didn't expect to be able to When I met a fellow traveler, I was worried about how to find that place. What did you do in the past? You were also a tourist?"

Hao Ren was really pleasantly surprised. He thought that tomorrow he might spend a whole day trying to find out where this "Yofold" is, and he might not be able to find it. I also want to go to fellow travelers there. To be honest, this good luck is a bit like falling from the sky. The coincidence is a bit suspicious.

According to the introduction of the strange man, Yoofold is an old aristocratic territory that was abandoned hundreds of years ago. It can be said that it is almost disappearing in the dust of history. The south side of Fuld's old site actually has no cultural and historical inheritance relationship with the old site. For such tortuous clues, we have to inquire slowly through normal methods, or search for information aimlessly. I don't know what to investigate. It won't be until time to find out, this one in front of me... is it really a coincidence to drop by

Hao Ren calmed down from the unexpected surprise at the beginning, and he had some doubts about the stranger in front of him, but he didn't show it this time, he just kept the eager look on his face, and the tall and thin man in front of him seemed to be confused too. Looking completely unsuspecting, he pointed to himself: "It's because of my work. My work is of a special nature. I often travel around the world, looking for places with history and stories."

Hao Ren's brain twitched: "Are you a grave robber?"

Then he felt Vivienne next to him stomp on his feet with all her strength.

"It's my job..." The tall and thin man seemed to be trying to keep it a secret, "Speaking of which, you're going to Yoofold, so do you know what's going on in the news recently?"

"What news?" Hao Ren's heart suddenly became aroused, because he knew that no matter what news happened in that place, it meant that his mission was about to hit a snag! He went to pick up an "abnormal creature" in the past, so that place must not be eye-catching!

"Joofold is most famous for its abandoned ancient castle, which was left by the old nobleman back then, and it has almost completely collapsed now," the tall and thin man said in a mysterious tone, "It should have been like this If it is abandoned, it is not even worth as a tourist attraction, but recently there is news from the locals that there are strange movements under the ancient castle. At night, some people see mysterious fire burning above the castle. Some people wear knight armor Strangers run in and out of the castle at dusk—in short, some say that the old nobles and knights of the castle have returned as wraiths, and the place is haunted... and the reputation is growing .”

The tall and thin man played up the atmosphere very well. Although the words and sentences were very ordinary, he could only outline a gloomy atmosphere in a few words. However, Hao Ren still faced werewolves and vampires day and night. He wasn't too scared of the person who had changed his face, but he just thought of a possibility: By the way, it wouldn't have anything to do with his new tenant, would it

Hao Ren slowly pondered: If the rumors of the ancient castle being haunted are true, then his new tenants are likely to be... Fuck, can't that white-haired witch give herself some normal clients!

Thinking about it carefully, I really can't... How could a normal person live in his current home.

"Then what is your job?" Hao Ren looked at the tall and thin man curiously. The other party must have a reason for emphasizing this haunted news. It should be related to the reason why he came here.

The tall and thin man smiled, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "You may think it's ridiculous to say it, but I'm actually a demon hunter, and I specialize in exorcising ghosts all over the world..."
