It was the big heterogeneous families located on the Greek peninsula that first discovered the abnormal situation. They successively discovered that the hunters who were carrying out hunting missions all over the world had disappeared. Later, investigators reported that they had found the demon hunter stronghold that had been emptied. , A few days later, the same news came from the shelters in Northern Europe and North and South America: the witcher was gone.
In Europe, in Asia, in the Americas, even in the inaccessible Arctic Circle and the Antarctic where hunting activities are most secretive, the demon hunters all retreated as if they received the same order at the same time. Due to the weak position in information resources, the heterogeneous family could not determine the evacuation trend of the demon hunters. When they reacted, those hunters had disappeared, and they could only judge from the remaining clues that they were in an orderly situation. scale transfer. So far, only a small-scale werewolf family in South America has sent out news that they have encountered a team of demon hunters that hastily transferred, but those hunters were in a hurry, and even though they had clearly captured the breath of the werewolf, there was still no outbreak of tension between the two sides. conflict.
All kinds of reports about the "disappearance of the hunter" appeared on the tables of the patriarchs of heterogeneous families all over the world within a few days. Whether it was a traditional family living in seclusion alone or a shelter in a group for warmth, they all received the information one after another. The big families have sent the most elite investigators to confirm the authenticity of the news, and those daredevils who ventured into the area controlled by the demon hunters returned safely without exception. They only found some residual traces of magic power, and The vacant stronghold left after the transfer of personnel. Then those families who kept in touch with each other began to communicate with each other, and the news spread from shelter to shelter, and finally, spread across the world.
The witcher disappeared.
By the time Hesiana called, the Athens Sanctuary had already completed the search of the entire Greek peninsula, and the aliens had taken an intensive action that hadn't been done in thousands of years—during the days when the witcher was moving around , they dare not do this, and the search result is also "The hunter has disappeared". Several heterogeneous families in the Asian region are also acting separately. Although their progress is behind that of the European region and the American region, it seems that there is no difference in the results.
Vivian told Hao Ren in detail what she heard from Heather Anna. There was a faint uneasiness in the voice: "I feel that the situation is not right."
"Of course it's not right," Hao Ren said, throwing backgammon pieces onto the table. "They won't be able to leave the earth, right? And you said that a family in South America witnessed the transfer of the demon hunter team?"
"Well, I heard Hessiana said that it is a werewolf family, and it has some connections with the previous Hall Finley family, so I can talk to the Athens shelter," Vivienne nodded slightly, "They are with a group of evacuating demon hunters. We met."
"This means that the demon hunter didn't disappear out of thin air, but ran somewhere." Hao Ren rubbed his chin, "No more information?"
Vivian shook her head: "No. The aliens are at a disadvantage to the demon hunters, especially in terms of intelligence. Because the demon hunters have divided and blocked the entire world, the alien families are basically in a rather closed state, and it is still necessary to keep in touch with each other. It’s easy to say, but it’s impossible to go to the place where the witcher is on guard to find out information. Everyone only got the news after the witcher suddenly disappeared, and there was a long delay in the news. By the way, Hessiana also asked our side Where is the witcher going?"
Hao Ren thought for a while: "The demon hunters here are quiet, one is watching TV with his sister, and the other is selling food outside..."
Vivienne immediately stared: "It's not about these two! It's about Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi!"
Hao Ren only reacted suddenly after asking Vivienne to remind him like this. He slapped his thigh: "I'll go find them!"
"Wait, I'll go with you," Vivienne said as she was about to put on the coat she had just taken off. "There is a caretaker on the way."
"No, just take a trip to the city. It doesn't take much effort." Hao Ren stopped Vivienne, then raised his finger and pointed to the circle of hungry people in the living room, "You should cook at home, look at this The whole house is starving for food."
Vivienne turned her head and took a look, but at first sight, she saw Lily lying on the sofa while watching TV and stuffing potato chips into her mouth. Noticing Vivienne's gaze, the husky girl raised her tail and shook: "Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry! By the way, what are you two talking about?"
The corner of Vivian's mouth twitched. Nodding to Hao Ren: "...Okay, you go and come back quickly."
Hao Ren turned around and patted Doudou who was still holding the chess pieces on the table next to him: "Doudou is good. I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon."
Just when he was about to go out, "Roll" suddenly ran down from upstairs, and the silly cat yelled: "What are you doing, big cat? Go buy me dried fish? "
"I just know how to eat," Hao Ren glared at the cat monster, "I'm going out to do some errands."
"Then I'll go with you!" The stupid cat jumped over without any explanation, with the stubbornness and stubbornness unique to cats on his face, "Eat delicious food!"
Hao Ren thought about it, anyway, it's useless for the cat to stay at home, and it would take a lot of effort to persuade her to stay, so he didn't say anything, but let the cat girl change into the clothes for going out, and then the two of them were in a hurry. He went out the door and went straight to the city.
If he was right, the two "regional demon hunters" Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi should still be working in the mall before, at least he had seen them there when he went shopping in the city a month ago.
After Hao Ren went out, Doudou was still holding the chess pieces in a daze for a long time, then she patted her tail: "Daddy really sucks at chess! Let him go!"
On the other side, Hao Ren, who had already left the house, of course didn't know what his precious fish girl was talking about. He drove his own car, Big Dipper, and headed straight to the city. shopping mall. He still remembered the shop where Zhao Xi sold mobile phones, but behind the counter he couldn't see the paralyzed huntress.
"Are you looking for Zhao Xi?" Another clerk at the mobile phone counter was a little surprised when he heard Hao Ren's intention. This young girl with many freckles on her nose couldn't help but look at Hao Ren a few more times, probably because she didn't expect her to be usually taciturn. Zhao Xi, who has no friends, actually has acquaintances, "She hasn't been here for several days, and asked for a long vacation with the leader."
"Have you taken a long vacation? When did it happen?" Hao Ren's heart moved. The news that "the demon hunter disappeared" seemed to be confirmed. "Did you say when she will come back? Where did she go?"
"A week ago, I don't know where she went," said the freckled girl, looking up and down at Hao Ren suspiciously, her tone a little more wary, "Who are you? What do you need from her?"
Hao Ren noticed that the other party was already wary of this stranger who suddenly came to ask questions, so he smiled: "I'm her friend, and I've come here to look for her a few times before, but the last few times you Not at all—the girl next to me has seen me."
"Oh, I've seen you, you've been here several times," another clerk recognized Hao Ren, "But we really don't know where Zhao Xi has gone, she doesn't usually talk to anyone, and she hasn't said anything about it." matters at home."
"Hmm..." Hao Ren rubbed his chin, "Then there is a manager named Liu Sheng on this floor, do you know?"
"Manager Liu? He hasn't been here for quite a while. It's said that he has something to do in his hometown, so he took a long vacation," said the freckled girl before, "I almost took a vacation with Zhao Xi."
Hearing this, Hao Ren understood, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand. Thank you very much."
After leaving the place where Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi worked, Hao Ren breathed a little, and he was sure of one thing: at least in this city, the demon hunter who was in charge of guarding had left.
But it's not "disappearing in thin air".
"The two of them left after asking for leave, which means that they didn't leave in a hurry, and they also planned to come back. Everything was planned. It sounds more like they left calmly after being transferred by their superiors," Hao said. Ren analyzed, "But I don't know if the demon hunters in other places are the same."
"Go away" listened to Hao Ren's analysis, and stretched his waist: "So it's delicious?"
Hao Ren froze for a moment, looked around, and then realized that the only cat who could listen to his analysis, so he slapped his face: "...I took you out for what the hell."
"Because this cat is so cute and cute. So it's delicious?"
Hao Ren: "..." (To be continued~^~)
