The second encounter between Hao Ren and these demon hunters was full of drama. After a surreal battle, they met again in a completely realistic situation: Hao Ren led the vampires at home to go shopping, while the two hunters The demons are respectively a clerk who sells mobile phones and a section manager who looks no different from other mediocre office workers, and I don't know what happened to these two demon hunters, anyway, they really don't seem to be different now. No will to fight. ,.,
In an unoccupied corner between the shop and the emergency exit, Liu Sheng looked at Hao Ren with a stiff expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't, and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Come on, smoke, smoke..."
Hao Ren was indeed a smoker before, but he quit smoking after living in a dog girl with a nose 400 times more sensitive than a human: "Thank you, but I don't smoke—speaking of which, I didn't expect to see you again in this situation." You guys. The demon hunters who dare to love usually really live among ordinary people... "
Liu Sheng lit up with a cigarette in his mouth, looked around like the most common clerk who sneaks in to find someone to complain on the way to work, and exhaled softly: "Except for the fact that when I was young, I learned skills by my parents and followed seniors. In addition to honing skills, I studied in a private school like everyone else. I also passed the examination of scholar, and even almost passed Juren. I taught and worked as a sailor on the first batch of private steamships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Decades ago Some of the oldest Jiefang shoes were produced when I was the workshop director. Ten years ago, I spent time on computer accessories in this city, and now I am an inconspicuous little manager in this mall—do you think we live in Among ordinary people?"
Speaking of this, Liu Sheng paused, and glanced at Hao Ren and Vivian: "It's like you leading this vampire out shopping. After all, this world is created by human beings. Even if 'special elements' like you and me He has great abilities. He also has to eat three meals a day, sit, sit, and walk like a human being."
"Don't just count me in," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. "I'm a human, orthodox human."
Liu Sheng smiled and didn't speak. Of course he knew who Hao Ren was now, but it seemed that he was too lazy to pursue many things. Hao Ren noticed that Liu Sheng had a look of seeing through everything, tired and unloved, and Zhao Xi should have it too, but the latter had facial paralysis so he couldn't tell. He asked curiously: "Are you going to continue working as a witcher?"
"We still have to take care of evil spirits that harm people," Liu Sheng looked at Vivienne with a half-smile, "but I won't trouble you, I'm really tired."
"What happened to you?" Vivian frowned. "I thought that demon hunters were as stubborn as iron, even if they died, they would not change their nature."
"What if there is a greater ordeal in this world than death?" Liu Sheng smiled, "A god said she was too lazy to educate a group of lunatics with words, so she threw us into a special... It can't be called a prison, but another world. There, there are more than forty races on a small planet, and there are more than three hundred organizations with different ideas. Many organizations even split into four or five different factions. Everyone is denouncing each other as heresy, and a jihad breaks out every three minutes in the whole world. Countless people are shouting for justice. No one cares about the origin of the conflict, and no one considers whether this kind of struggle is logical, in short Just labeling someone a heretic gives you a 'justifiable' reason to go to war. We're thrown into that illusory place. Switched every day to fight the heretics of the world - all at the same time considered a heretic."
Liu Sheng paused for a moment, and took a long breath: "It is said that it is a microcosm. It is a dream created by the gods by condensing all the stupid internal conflicts and blind wars that have happened in many worlds. Those who have completely lost their logic and have been ruled by race Soldiers and generals with fanaticism are phantoms - but it doesn't make much sense. It's still as impressive as the real world, and we've been there for three to five hundred years. Get a taste of how extreme racism really is stupid."
Liu Sheng exhaled the last puff of smoke, and like a stingy philistine, he smoked that ordinary cigarette until there was only a hot butt. Then he slammed it into the ashtray on the dustbin: " Racism is stupid."
Hao Ren: "..."
He felt that this was indeed in the style of Raven 12345.
Vivian couldn't help but be speechless: "Although it sounds weird, it's a good idea. How about educating all the demon hunters and aliens all over the world?"
"Treating the symptoms, not the root cause, that's what she said," Liu Sheng said with the corners of his lips pulled, "She said that this method cannot be used to solve all problems simply and rudely, which is killing the variability and self-correction ability of the mortal race. I can't listen to it anyway. I understand, as a god, she probably has her own considerations, anyway, we are the only ones who are unlucky."
Hao Ren knew the meaning of Raven 12345: what she has always insisted on is to let mortals handle their own affairs, let them evolve, develop, make mistakes, and correct themselves. , she won't make a direct shot. She only makes some very minor fixes as needed, which have little to no impact on the progress of civilization as a whole.
Of course, these conclusions are the result of Hao Ren's efforts to beautify Raven 12345 in his heart. The real situation is likely to be this: the goddess was busy making instant noodles at the time and had no time to talk to these guys, and this group of fanatical demon hunters People are really disturbing and are tossing around in heaven, so the crazy woman opened a space door and threw them in. After that, all the high-level explanations were made up by that guy later...
Vivian crossed her arms and looked at Liu Sheng: "Anyway, I don't like to fight and kill, and this situation is the best. But as far as I know, the demon hunters I met that day should be the passing team That's right, you..."
"Only the two of us are locals," Liu Sheng pointed to Zhao Xi, "They went to reconnaissance... In short, they had some missions, and they happened to pass by here. Because I am the person in charge of this area, I came out as the temporary team leader."
It seems that Raven 12345's education to these demon hunters only made them feel bored with meaningless fights, but did not fundamentally change the position and "professional ethics" of these people. Yagyu mentioned some secret operations of demon hunters still cautious. However, Hao Ren has already thought about it: "Is it about the day of return?"
"Eh... you really know."
Hao Ren smiled: "You don't need to be too cautious in front of us, you can even temporarily put aside the standpoint of aliens and demon hunters - now you know who our gang is working for, it is obvious that we If you don't help anyone, do you think you need to guard against a bunch of heavenly mercenaries?"
Hao Ren suddenly thought of the title "Heavenly Mercenary", and he felt that it was quite suitable after saying it this way.
Liu Sheng also thought about it: "It makes sense, the person behind you is too powerful... Let me make it clear, we were indeed going to investigate what happened on the day of return. A group of wizards and vampires seemed to be digging ruins in the north, but now I know They have nothing to do with you."
"North..." Vivian blinked, but she didn't remember any "old friend" of hers in the North, while Hao Ren asked curiously: "How much do you know about the return date? I'm also investigating this matter thing."
"Should not know more than you," Liu Sheng shook his head, "I only know that the aliens take this matter very seriously, they are planning to use the power in the ancient relics to launch a counterattack, and the power of the demon hunters has There is an abnormal decline, and the world is no longer as free to start wars as it was back then, so it is difficult for us to grasp the trends of aliens as easily as before. We only know that they have returned to research in several major areas of activity. Days—near the Arctic Circle, Africa, Central America, and a secret location in the Pacific Ocean. Currently, werewolves and vampires are the most active, and some wizards are also involved, but I don’t know what those wizards are planning. : They don't have any ancient relics to dig."
"Arctic...Africa..." Hao Ren read silently, keeping the information firmly in his heart, "Understood, I will investigate who are the aliens in these places, and hope to find out about their situation."
As he said that, he glanced at Vivienne, who nodded slightly, showing an expression that everything was wrapped up in him.
"Speaking of which, are you willing to cooperate with us?" Hao Ren finally looked at Liu Sheng with a little expectation. At present, he urgently needs to expand the source of information among aliens and demon hunters. There has been a lot of progress in aliens. Does Vivian know? There are few people, and the Eben werewolf family has spread the "shelter organization" under his name to other heterogeneous families, but he has never been able to find a breakthrough on the side of the demon hunter. The only source of information is Nangong That half-assed guy, last time he left a list for himself and left out the two great figures Zhao Xi and Liu Sheng...
No matter how you look at it, that guy named Sanba is only suitable for warding off evil spirits, and can't do anything serious.
Liu Sheng took a deep look at Hao Ren, and finally said cautiously: "I am still a demon hunter, and this guy (pointing to Zhao Xi) and I are still thinking about our future path, so now We can’t promise anything. But...we won’t be hostile in the future. Of course, I hope you don’t get us involved in the battle between you and other demon hunters, I will be very embarrassed.”
This ambiguous statement was actually enough. Hao Ren knew that although Liu Sheng would not take the initiative to help, if he wanted to inquire about some innocuous matters in the future, he would not refuse too much, so he nodded with a satisfied smile. , and at this moment, the voice of the data terminal suddenly sounded in Hao Ren's mind: "News from the Administration: Hilda's hometown has been located."
