When the first ray of sunlight shone into the living room in the morning, Zhao Xi woke up from the unfamiliar sofa. She shook her head vigorously, feeling as if she had had a long, long nightmare. She shook her head vigorously for a long time before finally After reorganizing some messy and broken memories, it took a full minute to fully remember what happened.
Hao Ren was already sitting on the other side of the sofa waiting. When he saw the witcher wake up, he smiled and said hello: "Yo, are you awake?"
"Well... thank you." Zhao Xi said sincerely, while sitting up and tidying up her clothes: she slept with her clothes last night, and now she only needs to tidy up her clothes. She looked around and saw that Liu Yu woke up earlier than herself, and now the other party was sitting in the corner of the living room playing chess with Yzaks.
"I didn't expect... one day I will stay in this place like I am now," Zhao Xi rubbed her forehead. She was still a little confused after coming out of the medical equipment yesterday, and she quickly rested under the slow thinking. At this time, she Already recovering, I couldn't help feeling very emotional about my experience, "It wasn't very pleasant when we met for the first time."
"Let's let the past go. Anyway, the chief and number two leaders of your demon hunters are both in my house. Logically, we are on our own." Hao Ren waved his hand generously, "You How do you feel now?"
Zhao Xi checked his physical condition and nodded: "It's completely recovered, and there doesn't seem to be any sequelae."
At this time, the rest of the family also knew that Zhao Xi was awake, and came over to join in the fun. Liu Sheng also put down the chess game and came to check on the situation of his subordinates. After confirming that Zhao Xi had really fully recovered, Liu Sheng seemed a little excited: "That's good, that's good... We really can't afford to lose manpower..."
Zhao Xi probably rarely sees his boss who is also a teacher and friend show such an excited expression, so he couldn't help laughing awkwardly: "I'm fine..."
Liu Sheng was in a daze for a moment, as if he felt that something was wrong, he thought for a long time before he realized: "Um, Zhao Xi, is your face paralyzed?"
The smile on Zhao Xi's face suddenly froze, and Lily next to him immediately joined in the fun: "Hey! Landlord, look at her paralyzed face! Did she smile just now? Come on, come on. Give me another laugh." Well, I am your late emperor..."
Before she could finish speaking, Vivian dragged her tail behind her. Vivienne taught her a lesson while tugging: "You can't have a quiet meeting early in the morning! Why are you kicking everything?"
Hao Ren looked at the stiff expression on Zhao Xi's face, and explained seriously: "Maybe the medical equipment cured your facial paralysis by the way yesterday."
Zhao Xi: "..."
Vivian rolled her eyes from a distance, and Hao Ren immediately coughed dryly to correct the topic: "Ahem, this question is not important, and our focus is a bit wrong. Actually, I have something to ask you two: Do you know the problem of hunting monsters?" Is there anyone else who has symptoms similar to Zhao Xi's?"
"Similar to Zhao Xi's situation?" Liu Sheng suddenly became serious, "You mean..."
"You probably don't know about the 'goddess'," Vivienne sat down beside Hao Ren. She looked into Yagyu's eyes and nodded slightly, "So I can only give you a general explanation: the Corpus space where the demon hunters live is actually a relic left by a powerful god, and this god is not the one from the ancient times on Earth. Heterogeneous false gods, but a real true god who can change the rules of the universe—you have seen the true god, so you must know what I mean. Now it seems that the true god has not completely dissipated after the fall, and part of her thoughts are still It is entrenched in Corpus, and these ideas can easily affect the minds of mortals. Zhao Xi should be 'parasitized' by this kind of power, and now we worry that Zhao Xi is not alone."
What Vivian was worried about was not a whim, but something that suddenly occurred to her yesterday when she was discussing with Hao Ren. There is only a simple sentence left in Zhao Xi's soul for the goddess. Although this sentence is of great significance, it is still just a small piece of inconspicuous "fragment", and there may not only be such a bit of goddess power lurking in the entire huge Corpus space—if the goddess of creation had more obsessed Thoughts remain. So the witcher crisis is far from over.
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi really don't know about the "goddess", and demon hunters of their level can only be regarded as mid-to-high-level soldiers. If Hao Ren's family didn't happen to live in their quarters, they wouldn't even have the right to know the real identities of Vivian and Lily, so they naturally didn't know the "truth of another universe", but after experiencing Cole After the civil strife in Perth, the two of them had also generally heard about the ancient power hidden in the Holy Land of the Demon Hunters, so Vivian's words were not difficult for them to understand. Liu Sheng sat upright: "I haven't heard of anyone in the same situation as Zhao Xi—because I spent a long time recovering from my injury, and Zhao Xi's situation is like that, so the two of us left Corpus very late, and we left Except for Zhao Xi, all the demon hunters suffering from the 'soul-leaving disease' have recovered, so there should be no other 'carriers'. But your worry is also very reasonable: it is not ruled out that Corpus still remains The possibility of that power. It could be hiding around any corner, and... the witcher is powerless against it."
Hao Ren and Vivian exchanged glances, then he turned around and nodded slightly to Liu Sheng: "Okay, we know what to do."
"Then we won't bother you anymore." Liu Sheng pulled Zhao Xi up and said goodbye. He knew that the help that a demon hunter of his level could provide to Hao Ren was limited. It's something to think about, so he cupped his hands and said in an old-fashioned way: "Thank you for your kindness. You have nothing to repay Zhao Xi for your help this time. As long as there is something we can help in the future, we can help you." Open your mouth, the two of us will go through fire and water, and we will do whatever we want!"
Obviously, as professional demon hunters, Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi are straightforward people at heart. Facing Hao Ren's great help to them, the two did not thank Hao Ren for a lot of words, but directly expressed their gratitude. made this promise.
This depends on the normal situation. In this atmosphere and environment, Hao Ren, as the host, should stand up abruptly, clasped his hands together, and opened his mouth to say something like "green hills don't change green waters", "it's nothing to worry about", " Let’s say goodbye today, meet Jianghu someday..." and so on are in line with the style of the painting, but Hao Ren never develops according to common sense here—he goes up and grabs Liu Sheng without waiting for him to finish his heroism: "Hey, don't be like this Be polite, don’t be so polite, leave after eating, the salted eggs Vivienne pickled a while ago can be eaten today, you have to try it... "
So Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi went back after eating salted eggs...
After the two demon hunters left, Lily rushed to Hao Ren's side immediately: "Landlord, landlord! I heard that you were tinkering with swords last night? Why didn't you call me for such a fun thing!"
"Why do you join in the fun?" Hao Ren pushed hard to pull away the husky who was about to lick his face, "We were doing business last night, so why call it fun?"
Lily flicked her tail vigorously: "Almost the same meaning and almost the same meaning—by the way, you actually talked to the 'Sword Spirit' of the God Slaughter Sword? What is it like?"
"Talk to it yourself."
While talking, Hao Ren took out the Sword of Killing God. After the connection was established, the Sword of Killing God immediately entered the thinking mode and began to greet everyone in the living room: "Hi everyone, I am Sword of Killing God, alias Echo Wall, No. Xiaojian, you can ask me to stab a layman... "
Hao Ren originally only wanted to let this sword come out to say hello to everyone, but he never expected that this guy would suddenly come up with these strange names when he opened his mouth, and he was stunned: "Oh wait! Who? Teach you what you said?"
Killing God Sword continued to answer in that honest tone: "Patian? Terminal."
Hao Ren: "...Brick! Come out and explain!"
The data terminal came out from an unknown corner: "Uh, calm down, partner—this machine is just testing whether using the machine's AI to connect with the God-killing Sword will activate its intelligent activities. After all, this machine Machines also have souls..."
Hao Ren gritted his teeth: "How's the test result?"
"This unit feels pretty successful - just look at how fast it learns!"
Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal and threw it into Doudou's fish tank: "Turn it over!"
At this time, Lily had focused all her attention on the God-killing Sword, and the husky spirit was surprised by the character of the God-killing Sword: "You are the God-killing Sword? Why do you sound so honest... I thought you Bad."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "It's the person's fault, not the weapon. It's just a sword, how bad it can be."
Vivian nodded slightly: "That's right, that's the reason."
"Anyway, you guys are familiar with this sword, let's talk about another thing," Hao Ren said while putting away the Godkiller Sword. "I'm going to go to the Demon Hunter headquarters again." (to be continued~^~)
