The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 1231: A heterogeneous gathering of demons dancing wildly

Views:

Hao Ren asked the demon hunters to investigate the information that survived after the destruction of the ancient Greek Olympus "divine system".

According to the information he already possessed, some upper-level members of the Olympus family seemed to have learned the secrets of "Original Sin" and "Ultimate Absolution" through some channels before they were destroyed, and carried out a series of "confrontation" Vivian conducts "idol worship" studies, and these studies are very likely to reveal more secrets about the ultimate plan of the Creation Goddess, or at least allow Hao Ren to understand the activities of the aliens in ancient times.

The gods of Olympus have disappeared into the long river of history, and the surviving relics are floating in the space gaps on the edge of the main material world. Finding them is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, but there is one place that still preserves the secrets of the ancient times , that is the Witcher's Library in Corpus Sanctuary. Those vast dossiers recorded information on every alien race destroyed by the demon hunters, including the ancient Greek "gods" naturally. This is what Hao Ren asked Bai Huo to do.

"I'll go to Corpus immediately to find you," Hao Ren immediately replied, "You have all the documents ready..."

"No, I'm in the city where you live now, just come to XXXX to find me."

Bai Huo reported an address that sounded familiar, and Hao Ren was stunned when he heard it: "Cultural Center? Why did you come to my place?"

Bai Huo maintained his cool and steady voice as always: "There is a manga exhibition here..."

Hao Ren: "..."

With a huge desire to complain, he took Vivienne and Lily and set off to the cultural center that Bai Huo had mentioned. As expected, a grand comic exhibition was being held here. Hao Ren doesn't have much experience in visiting comic exhibitions, but he has seen them a few times. Anyway, after he bought a ticket and entered the venue, he felt like a group of demons dancing wildly, men and women dressed as various game animation characters and various booths scattered around the exhibition hall. It made the huge indoor venue look extremely chaotic, and there were some high-quality cosplayers among them—it made Hao Ren think that he had returned to his work site in a daze.

That's right, he has seen a lot of strange races, and what he saw is true!

Hao Ren took a lot of effort to find the white fire. In fact, he didn't find it, it was Lily who smelled it. Bai Huo is really at ease in this place, she can even walk around in the stadium wearing her usual combat uniform with silver hair on her head, anyway, there are more people here than her in strange clothes. When Hao Ren found Bai Huo, the girl was wandering around several stalls with a huge bag full of all kinds of peripherals she had just bought, as well as her witcher dagger...

Hao Ren couldn't believe how Hasselblad educated such a miraculous student, so closed education really has its drawbacks, and it is very easy to teach autism and nerds...

"Ah, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Bai Huo greeted Hao Ren immediately after seeing him, "Seeing that you haven't come, I will take a stroll first."

Hao Ren put on a blank face: "By the way, it's really okay for you to just stroll around comic exhibitions like this? What about the job of a witcher?"

But I didn't expect that there was no embarrassment on Bai Huo's face, and she smiled calmly: "I'm really not just hanging out, I also have a job here. Look at that—"

The witcher girl raised her finger to point to a corner of the venue. Hao Ren looked in the direction of the other's finger and saw several men and women in cosplay costumes chatting there, and one of the men was keenly aware of the gaze of the onlookers, and he immediately became alert Looking over, the expression on his face was slightly unnatural when he saw Bai Huo.

"The two werewolves are real, the one next to him wearing a witch suit is a witch who used to be Dracula's mistress, and the other one is wearing a knight's full body armor. The inside of the armor is empty. It is the armor of a famous knight. God knows which crazy wizard has inspired this armor, or simply possessed it." Bai Huo smacked his lips, "Look around again, and you will see a lot of 'real goods'."

Hao Ren looked around in astonishment, and finally found some clues at this moment.

Many people were secretly looking at this place, almost all "high-quality coser" appeared together, and some exhibitors who looked like ordinary people were not so ordinary: they were cautiously keeping a distance from the white fire.

Lily shrugged her nose. In fact, she smelled some "close relatives" in the air just now, but she didn't say it.

"How many genuine ones are there?" Hao Ren asked in a low voice.

"At least one-third are genuine products, and one-third are their servants and dependents," Bai Huo shrugged, "The rest are ordinary people. I didn't come here just for fun, part of the purpose to monitor the event."

"This is a gathering of aliens," Hao Ren touched his chin. "Is this also a new change after the truce between the demon hunters and the aliens and the establishment of the Shadow Council? A fellowship of supernatural creatures?"

Bai Huo hummed: "Well, that's all right. Expanding the scope of activities of supernatural races without destroying the existing order also means testing the feasibility of race exchanges. Those who come here are all those who were weak in innate hostility before. Several races, there is no serious feud between each other... But someone still needs to monitor it, and it will still be very troublesome in case of a fight."

Hao Ren suddenly showed a look of surprise: "You came to monitor the scene? A demon hunter came to monitor the heterogeneous assembly?"

"How is it possible? To put it bluntly, I was also being monitored." Bai Huo waved his hand immediately, "The elders sent me here to observe this gathering, but at the same time we have to reach an agreement with the Shadow Council. The monitoring of the council. Ah, the situation is actually good, I have a good relationship with you, and you have a lot of face in the Shadow Council, so no one came to make trouble."

From Bai Huo's few words, Hao Ren knew that the lives of the aliens had undergone greater changes in the dark.

Some new orders are emerging, and the relationship between demon hunters and aliens is gradually evolving in a subtle and tense confrontation. The gathering here seems to make people complain, but it may have a greater meaning deep down, and Hao Ren believed 100% that what he could see in the venue were just superficial people of the gathering—after all, there were real ordinary people here, and more important activities might be hidden outside the venue.

It is possible to write a story of 200,000 to 300,000 words by extracting this meeting, but Hao Ren doesn’t care too much about it. Let Heather Anna and Mimir take care of the Shadow Council. He is here for Secrets of Olympus.

Led by Bai Huo, a group of people came to the rest area behind the exhibition hall. They followed a specific route, passed through the area where ordinary people were active, and reached the deepest part of the venue.

There were "cosers" standing in twos and threes outside the lounges, and a girl with wolf ears was flicking her tail vigorously to fan herself: "Whoa, whoa, it's so hot, I really want to eat ice, I'm so bored."

"That's right," another "boy" wearing a wizard hat nodded, "I thought I could play all day when I came out, but in the end I could only stay here. If I had known, I would still be playing games in the family secret realm interesting."

"Hey, wizard, where is the female companion who was with you before? Isn't she your girlfriend? Why did you leave you alone?"

"Wow, that's my great-great-great-grandmother...she went fishing."

"Oh... hush, the Hound is here!"

The werewolves and wizards noticed the approach of Hao Ren and his party, they immediately fell silent and showed mixed expressions of guard and rejection. Bai Huo is obviously the person who is "focused on" here, and everyone recognizes her face.

The witcher girl didn't mind this kind of situation, but she was also not interested in treating the aliens with a smile. She walked past those young people pointing at her without looking sideways, and led Hao Rensan into a special room. in the lounge.

"That's the situation, to be honest, I'm quite satisfied," Bai Huo said while throwing the big bag in his hand on the table, digging out of it for a long time, and took out a few scrolls that looked quite old , "The useful information is these."

... How dare she stuff such an important thing so casually!

Hao Ren took the scroll and began to study it carefully, while Bai Huo made some interpretations and supplements.

The scroll itself is not a product of the Olympus "divine system", but the investigation reports and business notes sorted out by the demon hunter after the war. These scrolls record the details of the Olympus series A series of "hunting" actions by the demon hunter after the destruction, that is, the process of hunting down and killing those survivors who escaped by chance.

The vast majority of the survivors who escaped from Mount Olympus died under the hunt of the demon hunters. Some even hid for centuries, and finally died, like Hesperis, who survived to this day Yes, it really is a rare case.

"Here, a servant escaped dozens of hunts in a row, including a big operation carried out by twenty elite hunters and three master hunters," Bai Huo pointed to a few lines of text on one of the scrolls , "This attendant is unknown, he is just a servant on Mount Olympus, the only special thing is that he is trusted by Zeus, but in the process of chasing him, two digits of demon hunters were sacrificed —all are mighty warriors who have experienced many battles.”

Vivienne said in a low voice: "Obviously, he carries a powerful 'artifact'."

"That's right, there is indeed an artifact, here is the record about that artifact," Bai Huo pointed to the bottom of the scroll, "'The hunting target holds a very dangerous weapon, it is a dark scepter, inlaid with a huge The blood-colored gem, the scepter can cause the blood of the target to boil to death from a hundred meters away, or cause fatal bleeding and disease, and the master-level hunter can only resist this power a little bit', I think this is very close to the ability of the Countess. "

Hao Ren frowned and looked at Vivian: "Not only are they studying how to offset the 'original sin' by worshiping you, but they are also studying your strength?"

Vivienne also frowned, "Is there anything else?"

"Here," Bai Huo took out another scroll, "'I have witnessed hunting targets carrying a large number of files and documents. Judging from the few fragments that were snatched, this should be a batch of missing materials when counting Olympus documents. , this batch of data comes from Athena, or it may be related to a series of weird ritual studies at the end of Olympus', and here, 'The hunting target has looked for traces of the Red Moon Countess in the process of fleeing, and suspected that she was trying to take refuge in , this hunt should be completed before the Countess grants her shelter'."

Hao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly: "It should be this." (To be continued~^~)
