Most of the demon hunters living in the north lived a life similar to battle monks. They did not have their own houses, but lived in various temples or military camps, and Whitefire was no exception. She lived deep within this Frost Temple—the ancient Frost Temple that had become her home after being adopted by Hasselblad.
Led by Hasu, Hao Ren and his entourage came to the place where Bai Huo lived, in the deepest part of the temple, in front of a rather old-looking oak gate. This gate and the surrounding Gothic columns all reveal the vicissitudes of thousands of years of wind and rain. Although the temple is not dark, these things still inevitably give people a deep and depressing feeling. Standing in front of this door, Hao Ren looked at the mottled marks on the door, and found it difficult to associate this place with the "girl's boudoir".
He has been in contact with White Flame several times, but he doesn't know much about it. Now this is the first time he has come to the place where the other party lives, and the first impression he has is "hermit": a person born in the Demon Hunter Order A girl who grew up and received rigorous combat training and indoctrination since she was a child, and lived a life of penance. He put his hand on the heavy oak door, and it was as cold as the ice field.
"No wonder she said she didn't like this place, it's cold and boring." Hao Ren murmured to Vivian next to him, and knocked lightly on the door.
After a long time, a lazy voice came out of the room: "Who is it? The door is unlocked..."
Hao Ren pushed lightly, and the door opened in response. In the next moment, he felt that he might have opened the wrong door: the scene on the other side made him dumbfounded!
I saw that the entire wall of the room facing the door was a huge display cabinet, which was filled with all kinds of handicrafts and comic magazines, and the floor of the room was piled up messily. magazines and food packaging, there is a single bed in one corner of the room, and the bed has not been cleaned for many years, the sheets are almost huddled and crowded in the corner in an abstract art-like way, while the other corner of the room is There was a large 50-inch LCD TV connected to a PS4 game console. A petite girl in a cartoon nightgown was sitting cross-legged on the floor playing games. She turned her back to the door, unable to see her face. But she could see a head of silver hair falling from her shoulders like a waterfall.
The girl didn't look back after hearing the movement at the door, she just raised her hand and waved: "Close the door. It's so cold."
Hasu, who followed Hao Ren and the others, couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed dryly from behind: "Ahem, Baihuo, there are guests..."
Bai Huo, who was busy playing games, realized it all of a sudden, she jumped three feet high, and rushed to the door in a flash: "Ah!"
Hao Ren didn't close his mouth until this time, he took half a step back with his eyes wide open. Putting on a gesture of remorse, facing the silver-haired girl in cartoon pajamas, with dark circles under her eyes, uncombed and unwashed hair, and potato chip scum on the corners of her mouth: "Who is here?! "
Bai Huo jumped up again, and his expression changed several times in an instant: "Hao Ren? You... why are you here?"
The moment the girl opened her mouth, she remembered that she had sworn allegiance to Hao Ren back then, so she quickly changed to an honorific title: Although she appeared in this appearance now, she is still quite reliable. However, Hao Ren couldn't feel that the other party was reliable at all. He stared at the girl in front of him for a long time before he finally became convinced that this was White Fire, so he instantly felt like he was on the wrong world line: "Could it be that you were also deceived by the gods?" The will is possessed..."
It's no wonder that Hao Ren reacted this way. In Bai Huo's current state, besides the signature silver hair on his head, does he have any otherworldly aura
Bai Huo was at a loss: "God's will? What kind of god's will?"
Vivienne took two steps back quietly, and asked Hasselblad in a very serious voice: "Is she usually like this?"
"Ah... It's been like this since I was a child... No. It wasn't like this when I was very young. At that time, human beings hadn't invented game consoles," Hasselblad said with a look of lovelessness. Obviously he knew this would be the case a long time ago, "She has liked comics since she was very young."
Lily stared at the side for a long time. At this time, I finally choked out a sentence: "But this style of painting is wrong."
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "Shut up! You are not qualified to say this in this place!"
At this time, Bai Huo had already recovered from the initial shock. She hurriedly let Hao Ren into the room, but quickly pushed him out: "Please wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes..."
Before Hao Ren realized what was going on, he was pushed outside the door, and then the heavy and simple oak door was slammed shut from the inside. To be honest, he breathed a sigh of relief after the door closed: after separating the messy things in the room, he felt that the painting style was much more normal just looking at the old wooden door...
Bai Huo changed clothes quickly, Hao Ren had just been feeling emotional for half a minute when the door opened again. Then the genius girl demon hunter appeared in front of everyone again in a heroic manner. She changed back into a black battle suit, and her hair was neatly tied into a single ponytail. The snack scum at the corner of her mouth was also cleaned up. Except for some dark circles under her eyes, Bai Huo has basically completely restored her usual image—even her stern and crisp temperament has completely returned. But Hao Ren could still see the miserable room behind her, and the eye-catching word gameover on the 50-inch TV.
Bai Huo looked back following Hao Ren's gaze, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Ah! I didn't save the file!"
Everyone: "..."
"Uh, I didn't expect you to be usually..." Hao Ren's mouth twitched, but he still couldn't help muttering, "Damn it, where's the ascetic nun in Icefield Castle..."
Bai Huo's ears were very sharp, and she showed a smile with three points of embarrassment: "This... who stipulates that demon hunters cannot have personal entertainment?"
Hao Ren rubbed his forehead, he realized that it was not the first time Bai Huo said this sentence, and the last time she said this sentence was after everyone knew that she usually had a hobby of reading comics - Hao Ren already felt His impression of the Demon Hunter collapsed once, but this time, it was obvious that he was hit harder.
I also have a deeper understanding of Bai Huo's words...
"Life in the ice field is very boring." After Bai Huo changed back to her battle clothes, her aura seemed to have changed all of a sudden. The main thing is combat training and reading ancient books, other than that, you can only stay bored in the fortress—do you think you can find other entertainment in this situation? I don’t like going out with them to hunt seals.”
Hao Ren thought for a while, but felt speechless.
At this time, Lily's attention has shifted to other places: "I didn't expect you to get these things here... You also have someone who goes to the base to buy game consoles and magazines?"
"It's not a special purchase of these things. It's just that the field personnel who are responsible for purchasing materials from the human world will help us pick up some things. I'm already very relieved. A game console is not a big thing — Elder Andahel Someone once brought a circus back, but I don’t know how to deal with the aftermath.”
Hao Ren: "..."
He had a higher level of understanding of the demon hunter in an instant! Among other things, now he suddenly felt that these guys had more flesh and blood...
Bai Huo found that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit delicate, so he quickly changed the subject: "So you are looking for me for something?"
Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly corrected his wandering train of thought: "That's right, we need to conduct an in-depth investigation of Corpus—and we need you as a guide."
"Investigate?" Bai Huo was a little curious, "Didn't you investigate many things before? What did you discover recently?"
She knew about Hao Ren's "job" roughly, so she had guessed something at this moment.
"We discovered that a demon hunter who returned from Corpus was 'parasitized' by the will of the gods," Hao Ren said bluntly, "Now we suspect that there are still more powers of the gods lurking in Corpus —They may have been suppressed by the dark long sword before, but now that the seal is loose, these things may have come out."
Vivian added from the side: "The 'God's Will' itself is friendly, but its rank is too high. Even if a mortal just approaches it, his life will be in danger."
When Bai Huo heard this, his expression gradually became serious.
"Actually..." she said hesitantly, "some unusual phenomena have indeed appeared in Corpus recently." (To be continued~^~)
