Regarding whether "Mr. Nangong" is a witcher or a charlatan, or just a passer-by who got into his head, Hao Ren and Vivienne discussed it for a long time without reaching a conclusion. Vivienne claimed that she had a special feeling for the witcher because of her injuries, but she herself admitted that this innate ability is not effective at all times, so it cannot be used as reliable evidence at all, and Lily doesn't even need to think about it. Having seen a demon hunter, in Vivienne's eyes, she is worse than a child. She probably wouldn't be able to react even if she was beaten to the door by a demon hunter.

According to Vivienne, demon hunters are "half-human, half-monster". When they fight, they will burst out with various powers beyond human beings. In some cases, even their bodies will mutate accordingly, but in normal times they behave like ordinary people. It's exactly the same, there is no clearly identifiable information such as special aura. The words and deeds of that "Mr. Nangong" did not look like a demon hunter to Vivian, especially when he took the initiative to chat with people and announced his identity like showing off, it was even more different from the rivals in Vivian's memory It is very big, but this alone cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is the "real product". After all, the vampire girl has not seen a demon hunter for many years, and even if she has seen it, it is only a small part of the large group of demon hunters , her understanding is limited, her memory is still muddled, and more importantly, she is unlucky—even Hao Ren is not sure whether he will follow Vivienne's bad luck. A "genuine product". So Hao Ren was still quite uneasy.

The group of three didn't get any better in this unfamiliar place. Although the language problem has been solved now, the journey was tiring, and even Lily didn't bother to move. The three of them went back to the room after eating. Right now Lily is lying on the sofa in the middle of the living room, switching channels to watch TV. Although she can’t understand a word, she is watching quite lively, and Vivian is doing a very meaningful thing beside her: I took out all the cash and banknotes I prepared in advance for this trip, and I was counting money over and over for fun...

Hao Ren sat next to Vivian very vigilantly, trying to keep the closest distance to Vivian, and looked at Vivian's slender and pale hands without blinking, for fear that anyone who didn't pay attention to the vampire's aura of decrepit spirit would be killed. When the attack started, the pile of banknotes disappeared in an instant: Now he has realized that Vivienne's bad fortune is far from being described by the simple word "unlucky", it is simply the will of the universe, a law-level Passive effect, let Vivienne touch money, absolutely is a kind of psychological extreme sport.

Vivienne counted the money with great interest, and sighed from time to time: "Hey... what a rare luxury moment in this life... This is how it feels to count money... I really have a good life with the landlord... Hey, the landlord Don't be so nervous, okay?" "As I said, you can just call me Hao Ren outside," Hao Ren looked at Vivienne with a bland smile, "Besides, I have a reason to be nervous, and I swear to God, even if I If Xiaohui doesn't look at it, you can clean up all our funds. Besides, can you be a little bit good? Let me empty out all the money in my wallet and think what you are going to do, but just count the money for fun? "

"Can you understand my devastated heart after being poor for thousands of years?" Vivienne sighed very poetically, "Oh, the last time money was so cool was in the Republic of China, and I carried sacks to buy it. Mi, I counted the silver coupons at the entrance of the grain store for half an hour... But I didn't feel as good that time as this time. After all, those things are like waste paper, so there is no real pound. Hey, I'm done counting this pile, let me go again Count it again... Hey Hao Ren, don't be like this, let me count it again!"...

Hao Ren put the money away resolutely and put it close to his body. Then he said earnestly, "My blood lady, I really want to count the money. I'll go to Zimbabwe and let you count it later. As for you now?" Just put on a face and do something normal - you were still discussing about the witcher before, how can you turn your face so you don't feel nervous at all?"

"I've been through big winds and waves to some extent. How long will I be nervous about such a trivial matter?" Vivienne looked reluctantly at the place where Hao Ren put his wallet, and then turned her head away with disdain, "You know the real demon hunter What should a person be like?"

Hao Ren was immediately interested: "What kind?"

"Just with the look I'm familiar with. They like to wear black clothes when they act. They used to be hunting suits, and later they were tight-fitting suits. Some demon hunters in the east also wear kung fu suits. Anyway, they are so rigid, but in normal times They dress up like normal people when they are young. In addition, they are somewhat gloomy, not talkative, and very low-key. They usually try their best to hide their identities. They are afraid of attracting our attention and scaring the snake, let alone revealing their identities to others. Sometimes, if ordinary people know their movements, they will kill ordinary people together in order to silence them—although this is the practice of a few extremists, it can explain the problem of the group of demon hunters. In addition to being low-key, demon hunters also One characteristic is 'ordinary', very, very ordinary, very good at making one's words and deeds like ordinary people, this is also a way to hide oneself. When people around are talking about witches, they also talk about witches, and people around them talk about Napoleon When they triumphed, they also talked about Napoleon. When people around them talked about atheism and denied the existence of ghosts and gods, they also announced that they believed in science. Now you understand, this is how they completely hide themselves. You see them on the street What kind of person is the most, what kind of demon hunter is, from inside to outside, layer upon layer of camouflage—so now the more I think about it, the more I think that 'Mr. , Even if the demon hunters have no business, they wouldn’t be so high-profile, it’s completely contrary to the creed they live by.”

At the end, Vivienne nodded vigorously: "So I think we are too nervous, I am nervous about the witcher, it is the first time you are nervous about 'executing a mission', we are probably given to you by a ghost exorcist liar who can be seen everywhere. Bluffed."

Hao Ren nodded again and again: "Yeah, that makes sense, but are we just so relieved?"

"You still need to be vigilant," Vivienne shook her head, "He's not like a genuine demon hunter, but he has probably been exposed to that kind of stuff, and he knows the history of demon hunters, saying Talking about some 'work' matters is also logical, so I guess he may be the pawn of some real witcher, and those cunning guys do this occasionally, so we have to be careful not to let that 'Mr. Nangong' I noticed something too abnormal. Other than that, he shouldn't be a threat, anyway, our purpose is to find someone, not to fight."

Hao Ren nodded, and the discussion about that "Mr. Nangong" is over here.

At this time, Lily had already switched the TV around and around, completely unable to understand what was being played, the werewolf girl seemed a little bored, she threw the remote control to the side, and scratched Hao Ren's back with her paw: "Landlord, you Discuss with Raven 12345, let her prepare a data terminal for each of us, you may receive people from somewhere in the future, there may be foreigners, it would be embarrassing if you don’t understand.”

Hao Ren chuckled: This bastard werewolf actually knows how to use his brain. You can see how well-founded this reason is for watching a foreign language program. But just when he was about to explain the organizational system to Lily, a word that caught his attention suddenly came from the TV next to him: "... Fort Joveld, located near Brousal, has recently attracted many supernatural events Lovers…”

Hao Ren immediately pricked up his ears and turned his face away. He saw an interview program being broadcast on TV. A blond foreign woman was standing next to the OB van with a microphone. Behind her was a rocky wilderness In the distance, a nearly completely collapsed ruin can be seen in the wilderness, and standing next to the hostess is a chunky man in a white T-shirt. The latter is obviously not a TV station worker. He has a beard and is slightly bald. The clothes are slightly old, and he looks like an ordinary local farmer, who should be being interviewed.

"... what we see now is Fort Joveld, obviously it has completely collapsed and can no longer see the original scale, because there is no road here, the OB van can only stop here, and I will go on foot later The castle, let everyone see what it looks like up close," the hostess introduced the current situation, and then she reached out to gesture to the chunky uncle next to her, "This is Mr. Angus who first discovered the supernatural incident in the castle..."
