The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 948: Amtura's research

Views:

Hasu squatted down next to Amtura's last words, gently stroking the dent carved by the knife with his hand, and there was a faint light floating on his fingertips. After identifying it with the unique method of a demon hunter, he confirmed that what was carried in this text was indeed Amtura's last will, and was not forged.

The bald, black-skinned demon hunter who seemed to be of African descent was passing by at this time. After noticing Amtura's body, he stopped with a serious expression: "Sure enough, Elder Amtura died too. Here it is…”

"Tutane," Hasselblad stood up and nodded slightly to the dark-skinned witcher, "take out those letters."

Tutan was stunned for a moment: "Here?"

"It's right here," Hasu said indifferently, "Countess Ansesta is a respectable elder. She has taken the initiative to show her sincerity, and we should also respond."

Tutanyin didn't say anything more, he walked away quickly, and soon came back with a small box that looked very important. Hasselblad put the box on the only long table nearby that was still intact. He swept away all the debris on the table, took out a lot of letters and notes from the box, and spread them in front of Vivienne.

"This is..." Vivian picked up a few pieces of paper and looked them up, "Amtura's diary?"

"We found the clues from these things, Bai Huo should have mentioned it to you," Hasselblad nodded slightly, "This is the document and diary left by Amtura and the other two elders. Including their research on the phenomenon of ... innate hostility."

Vivian and Hao Ren immediately checked these documents with great attention. These documents have been sorted out by the demon hunter, and not only are they marked in order according to the date, but they are also marked with who wrote them. Hao Ren just browsed through it roughly, and found that the elder Almtura paid more attention to the phenomenon of innate hostility and studied it in depth than he had imagined before. In these documents, Amtura described in detail the "innate hostility" between aliens and the "hunting instinct" of demon hunters towards aliens, and clearly determined that these two phenomena are actually the same thing. From historical data, he summarized every supernatural race that ever existed from ancient times to the present and other information related to "innate hostility", including the degree of hostility of each race, the distribution of each race, the degree of force, and the strength of each race. The beginning and end of history, and their respective forms of civilization. He used his own standard to divide "innate hostility" into ten levels, and used a chart to roughly describe the average impact of "innate hostility" on each race from 10,000 years ago to the present.

On his chart, the phenomenon of innate hostility is incredibly high initially. Almost completely replaced the sanity part of each race, and was classified as "beyond thinking level". Before and after the end of the Age of Myth, the influence of innate hostility on various races dropped to the level of "rational and controllable", and in modern times there was a significant decline, and soon fell to the level of "common hostility that can be controlled at any time". And at the end of the table, the curve dropped to almost zero at an astonishing rate, and Amtura wrote a sentence at the end of the curve: "Is it going to disappear?"

These materials also included the research materials and correspondence of the other two elder demon hunters, but the things left by Amtura accounted for nearly 80% of all the materials. Hao Ren was more and more surprised when he saw these things. He realized that these results were by no means recent: it had only been a few months since innate hostilities had begun to fade among the younger generations of all races, and Amtura had apparently been working on them long before that.

Vivienne found a letter in which Amtura mentioned some of his research to a friend: "...I discovered long ago that the supernatural races on Earth are so vastly different , not only culturally, they (including us) have huge differences in physical structure and soul. No one with a right mind would believe that these species were born on the same planet under natural circumstances... I checked the confiscated books, and it was clear that smart people of other races were aware of this as well.

"... aliens, and witchers, all of these races undoubtedly came from outside this planet. And not from the same planet outside this planet, but from many planets. We all have different origins, there is no reason Doubtful…”

on another letter. Amtullah brought up the subject again: "... My friend, shouldn't we be suspicious? We have been hunting other aliens for thousands of years. And those aliens are the same mess with each other, but why Has no one ever wondered? As you and I agree, every supernatural race should come from a different place, we have different physical structures, different forms of power, different cultural traditions, and even different souls, normal Races with such different circumstances have almost no chance of contact, just like the fish in the deep sea and the monkeys on the mountain. There is no intersection. Not to mention any hatred. But we were thrown on the same planet by some force Go, war for war's sake. Whenever I think about it. I'm so disturbed...

"We are driven by something that is not our own will, it lurks in the depths of our souls, yes, we are like crickets and fighting cocks in a cage, our eyes are fixed on the 'enemy' in front of us, so that there is no People have been curious about the cage around us, and no one has thought about how we were sent to this cage. Now, this force that drives us is gradually weakening, and I am more and more worried. This may be even worse Signs: If there is an audience outside the 'cage', then he's probably lost interest in brawling."

Most of Amtura's letters discuss this issue with his friends. His views are mainly three: the supernatural races on Earth come from different "outlands"; all supernatural races are collected from all over the universe , placed on the earth for continuous struggle; the phenomenon of innate hostility is a shackle and controller, and its function is to ensure the uninterrupted struggle of various supernatural races.

And these three points of view can be summed up into one, that is: all this is a conspiracy.

Amtura is limited by his vision on the earth, so naturally he cannot draw correct conclusions, but his conspiracy theory is still a big improvement compared to other demon hunters and aliens who have never had doubts, At least he clearly understands that the "hunting instinct" of the demon hunter has nothing to do with justice and mission, but something extremely suspicious and coming from a third party.

But his ideas are undoubtedly a kind of heretical behavior among witchers.

"I didn't expect a demon hunter to think of this..." Vivienne couldn't help but muttered to herself, and Hasu nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Amtura is the one with the strangest ideas among the elders. His Many ideas can even be called heresy in our eyes. He was the most valiant warrior in the first half of his life, fanatically immersed in hunting alien races, but he suddenly became obsessed with these theories in the second half of his life."

Vivian held up a letter and shook it: "Isn't he afraid of being tied to the firewood by your elders for studying these things?"

Hasselblad shook his head: "His research has not lowered his status in the demon hunter organization, because his 'results' are always the best. He is still a powerful hunter, but... his thinking is a bit weird."

The corner of Vivienne's mouth raised slightly: "Obviously I realized something was wrong, but I still didn't stop fighting."

Hasselblad has no answer for this.

Hao Ren wanted to hear what the witcher in front of him thought about these "heretical theories": "Hasselblad, what do you think of his research?"

Unexpectedly, Hasselblad nodded after a short silence: "It makes sense."

Vivienne raised her eyebrows: "I thought you would scold me out of righteous indignation."

"Elder Amtura's theory is not a secret, and do you think demon hunters are really fighting madmen who only know how to show off their strength?" Hasselblad had a half-smile on his face, "We are more focused on learning and learning than most of the aliens. Research. But these theories of Amtura can't change anything. The hunting instinct has a greater influence on us than you can imagine, and the war situation that has continued from the age of mythology to the present is not something that can be reversed by such a theory. At least That's how it is to this day."

Hao Ren did not comment on this. He just glanced at the documents, and a line of words just jumped into his eyes:

"... Taken together, our hunting instinct is not a natural outgrowth of what should exist in our souls, it is implanted, evidence of manipulation, perhaps purposeful..."

For some reason, Hao Ren thought of the words that Amtura left before he died: "They are right, we are wrong." (To be continued~^~)
