The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 230: Old friend

Views:

The scuffle with a group of demon hunters was the first surreal battle that Hao Ren personally participated in. He still remembered every detail of what happened at that time, so he could instantly recognize that the woman in front of him was exactly the one with him that day. The female witcher she fought—that scar is impressive. But he would never have expected to meet him in this kind of place and in such a subtle way: this demon hunter is actually a mobile phone seller...

Vivian also remembered this face, so she reacted at the same time as Hao Ren. She took a half step back in an instant, and the temperature around her began to drop, but just when the power of the vampire was about to burst out, the female hunter The devil waved his hand: "Is this... suitable?"

Hao Ren felt that his heart had gradually adapted to this kind of life of surprises. He quickly calmed down and gently tugged on Vivienne's sleeve to make the latter not act rashly. At this moment, the customers around have already felt that the atmosphere here is not normal. They seem to be unaware of the suspicious conversation that happened next to this strange mobile phone clerk, but many people are at a loss for the sudden cold wind, and some people rub their hands in a daze. Looking around, finally a few eyes fell on Vivienne. However, Vivienne withdrew her strength in time, and the surrounding people did not riot because of a gust of cold wind, and soon the usual order was restored in the mobile phone shop.

Vivienne realized that the witcher was not hostile, not even fighting, so she relaxed a little bit, but she did not relax her vigilance, but asked in a low voice: "Are you the witcher from that day? I remember you should have been taken away by arcane servants."

"Then it was released." The witcher said quietly. I don't know what method she used to make the people around and even the other shop assistants at the counter focus on other things. She chatted with Hao Ren and Vivian here, but none of her colleagues came to ask about the situation curiously. . If Vivienne's cold wind hadn't briefly broken the weird "aura" she created just now, she would have felt like she was in a barrier of tranquility here.

Hao Ren opened his mouth, thinking hard about what to say in this situation. But he never expected to meet a demon hunter who had fought in this situation at all, so after holding back for a long time, he could only say: "What are you doing here?"

"Go to work," the witcher replied in that calm tone. "I have been working in this mall for more than five years. Not long ago, I was still selling clothes next door. If I hadn't been caught by that blue creature and stayed in a strange place for too long, I should still be selling clothes now."

Hao Ren: "...No. That's not what I mean, I mean...how can you appear here? As a witcher, you shouldn't...well, live in a place that is more like a basement, and go to the cathedrals every day The following secret association reported, and then led the demon hunting order to kill demons all over the world, stood on the TV tower to welcome the sunrise in the early morning, silently guarding the peace of the city... I think a demon hunter should be like this."

The witcher had a straight face as if she was paralyzed. After listening to Hao Ren's words, she only said one sentence: "I don't understand what you mean, but if I live like you said, I don't even go to work, where can I get money for food?"

Hao Ren: "..."

He was stunned by the other party's theoretically logical answer and was speechless for a long time, and finally realized: "Wait, so other demon hunters are usually like you...go to work? Grocery shopping ? Eat? Sleep?"

This time, even Vivian couldn't listen anymore, and poked Hao Ren's arm from behind: "Do you think there is anyone in the family who doesn't eat?"

The witcher nodded: "We usually live as humans, I thought you should know this common sense."

Vivienne did tell Hao Ren a lot about demon hunters, including how the latter mixed up in human society and lived with ordinary people, but Hao Ren obviously misunderstood it before, and he put this "living together" It is simply understood as a means of concealing their identities, but now it seems that these superhumans really need to eat and drink as well—Hollywood is harmful. Hao Ren thought that this kind of dark superhero would stand on the TV towers all over the place and show off every day besides beating little monsters.

As for the other demon hunter, Nangong—in fact, Hao Ren has never regarded him as a demon hunter...

"See, we don't need to fight today, right?" Although Hao Ren noticed that the people around him were not paying attention, he couldn't help lowering his voice when he spoke. He looked warily at the scarred girl in front of him. I was afraid that the other party would suddenly pull out a half-meter-long crossbow and shoot him at the wall, "I didn't even know that crazy woman let you out—that is, I don't even know where she locked you up. where?"

That day, Raven's arcane servants came to the rescue and took away all the demon hunters who had been beaten to death or had been beaten to death. Raven 12345 said that he wanted to educate these guys himself, but Hao When Ren went to the big bungalow to give a report later, he didn't see these demon hunters. The arcane servant vaguely stated later that the captured demon hunters were locked in a special space. This space is not only a prison, but also an "educational facility". Raven 12345 used his own behavior correction plan to treat These extreme racists. Hao Ren originally thought that he would probably never see these demon hunters again in his lifetime. But he didn't expect to meet Scar Girl suddenly today, and he just took this opportunity to inquire about her experiences these days.

Scar Woman didn't draw out her weapon immediately after seeing Vivienne. It seems that Raven 12345's "education" has been successful.

The witcher thought about it for a while, and Hao Ren saw a trace of fatigue and fear on her dull and indifferent face. It seems that the prison disaster during the previous period was a terrible memory that cannot be recalled, but just when she was about to speak, another voice suddenly came from the door of the store, it was a young man's voice: "Zhao Xi, come out for a... hmm?"

The female witcher stood up when she heard the name "Zhao Xi". Hao Ren heard the male voice sound familiar and turned around, only to find that it was an extremely ordinary-looking man in a suit— If he wasn't the leader of the demon hunters back then, he would have been extremely ordinary.

Vivian was nervous again for a moment, but the leader of the demon hunter didn't seem to have any will to fight. He was just very surprised, and then waved to Hao Ren and Vivian with an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh: " We meet again, and we will not fight today."

Then he turned to the witcher: "Zhao Xi, put away your little tricks, and then... come over with these two 'friends'."

The witcher nodded with a straight face, bent down and took out a small piece of paper with the Leta Talisman drawn on it from under the counter in front of her, and stuffed it into her pocket. With the removal of this piece of paper, the surrounding atmosphere has obviously changed. The customers and shop assistants who had intentionally or unintentionally bypassed this small area looked curiously at Zhao Xi's surroundings as if they had just woken up from a dream. Even more belatedly, he looked at Hao Ren: "Hey, Zhao Xi, are you an acquaintance?"

It seems that the environment that drove away the idlers just now was the effect of the Leta Talisman.

Hao Ren and Vivian followed the "leader of the witcher" to a quiet corner outside the store in a daze, and a female witcher named Zhao Xi was also called out. The young people first train their subordinates: "Can you work hard every day occasionally? You put the talisman on and sleep all day after you go to work, or you just play with your mobile phone all day. It's hard for me to do this—you have lowered the whole Store performance!"

Zhao Xi looked at his boss with a dull face: "It's just an extra salary, it's not that serious."

The young man frowned: "But you can't just dawdle every day, can you?"

"First of all, I have a scar on my face," Zhao Xi pointed to his own scar, and then pointed to his face, "Secondly, my facial nerves were paralyzed by the poisonous blood of a vampire forty years ago. As mentioned above, if I don’t use the Leta Talisman to divert the attention of others, I will affect my performance even more.”

Young man: "... your reasons are true, but your work attitude is still problematic..."

This sounds like a normal debate between store leaders and slippery employees. If you don’t consider their status as demon hunters and the vampires mentioned in the conversation, there is really no amount of information, but once the above two points are considered, the amount of information But it's huge. Hao Ren coughed dryly, and the young man had no choice but to face up to the two "old friends" in front of him who made him extremely embarrassed but had to be treated seriously. He still had that expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "I'm sorry, I Let me introduce, my name is Yagyu—a name that has been used in recent decades. I am the section manager of the electric appliance store here and the home appliance store next door, and besides... I am a senior witcher." (To be continued)
