The Hunter Under the Tree of Origin Chapter 18: : Fallen Saint
"What happened to your arm?"
"I was pinched for fighting with people in a bar."
The captain said helplessly: "You are a policeman... The man who squeezed your arm is so strong, he can leave such a bruise. Each other, my broken finger, are also in the same room. It was chopped off in the bar, but I was doing it for the mission, which is different from you. Take a good rest, come to my house tomorrow morning, and your sister-in-law will make dumplings at noon tomorrow."
Wang Ji nodded. Before leaving, the captain did not forget to give him some instructions.
After Liu Dui was taken away, the new Wang Dui who took over was really kind-hearted. He introduced Wang Ji to a new rental house with a fair price. After they returned to the urban area, they brought someone to help Wang Ji move. Captain Wang said that it is not easy for a foreigner to be a policeman here, and he is not too young, so it is time to make plans for settling down. These conversations and concerns are completely different from those before.
The captain left after paying attention to Wang Ji's arm at the end. Wang Ji lived alone in the room of the new house and meditated. He didn't move much, except for some small things and clothes, that is, notebooks and Issa's toy box that needed to be removed.
The current time is 17:52 in the afternoon. After confirming the time, Wang Ji left.
Before night fell, Wang Ji returned to Lily's bar according to the content of the transaction. The moment they entered the bar, all the devil waiters seemed to be stunned.
"I'm coming to work."
Wang Ji bowed politely, thinking of the guests in the bar. In the dark, Lily looked at Wang Ji quietly, her star-like eyes seemed to be surprised. "Welcome back." Lily said suddenly when Wang Ji passed by the bar.
"Thank you."
Wang Ji replied.
His job was the same as last night, sending those lost and drunk girls home safely for Lily, and there was no accident with the company of demons. At three o'clock in the morning, the work was finally over. After seeing off the last person, Wang Ji sat down in front of the bar to rest. Prepare to talk to Lily about weapons.
"You've been absent-minded all night, what's wrong?" In the darkness behind the bar, the witch Lily asked Wang Ji, smoking a cigarette.
"I hope you can deal with the matter of weapons quickly." Wang Ji said.
Lily smiled meaningfully, with an extra charm in the dark, she took a puff of smoke, and said calmly: "It's three o'clock in the morning, and in 24 hours, a hellish arms dealer will arrive Here, it smuggles hell’s arms through some special channels. Unlike me, his transactions are very surprising, and the transactions are also very special. In short, after he arrives, you can chat with him.”
"This is the best."
Wang Ji nodded. Although he can't get weapons and props immediately, as long as he survives tonight, he will have a chance to resist and really investigate the cultural heritage. "Frankly speaking, I don't have much time left, I hope the surprise that Lily said is really useful to me." Wang Ji thought.
"Do you know why newcomers are reluctant to make a deal with the devil?"
Lily asked suddenly, her tone of question was very light, her bright eyes turned to look at him behind the dark bar.
Wang Ji shook his head. Lily laughed at this, "Yeah! A lot of new people found me here like you yesterday, but hesitated for a while after asking the price and finally left. As I said, they trust the friends they made in the experiment mode too much They would rather give up fighting for their independent identity in the hunting group than make a deal with us. Why?"
Lily helped Wang Ji answer this question: "Or they encountered Satan's business, and only the soul can be used as the equivalent of the transaction. Or it is because his hunter friends told him that only the devil will help you in the beginning. .But once you accept the devil's deal, you will no longer be able to get the angel's gift. You will lose the source of the most important props in the future."
Wang Ji said calmly: "The nature of a gift that can't send carbon in a hurry is speculation." It's not as simple as being able to borrow props from others. Regarding the angel's gift, Wang Ji expressed his attitude.
"We are allies and trading partners, so do you know what kind of organization the hunting group is?"
Wang Ji also asked a question. He looked at the clock hanging on the cabinet, counting the time silently in his heart. He wanted to prolong his relative safety for as long as possible. Lily stared at Wang Ji in the dark for a long time without saying a word. She just watched him silently without speaking. Wang Ji was also quiet, and about five minutes later, Wang Ji stood up from his seat.
Lily smiled vaguely at this time: "Do you know the Garden of Eden? Human ancestors swallowed the fruit of good and evil, gained wisdom and created civilization. This kind of analogy is very ingenious. Thinking and the characteristics of civilization are sinful from birth. As such It is not difficult to imagine the logic. The Hunting Group is an evil alliance based on a wide range, protecting the fruits of original sin. The title of Hunter is civilized and still maintains barbarism. The latter is especially for other forms of life. For you It's really appropriate."
Speaking of which, Lily's subject suddenly changed.
"But I don't like this name. From four thousand years ago to now, most of the hunters I know have died, and the hunting group has completely degenerated. The original independent mutual aid has become a forest system of mutual exploitation. A long time ago, I knew independent hunters. They should have had the same indelible lifespan as me, but in the end they could only watch their civilization destroyed by unimaginable violence, losing their status as hunters or They died in battle. They knew too much and went too far. My child, what I don’t want to say is this, you are a person who walks in blood, and don’t expect too much from anyone who will help you on the road.”
"That's not the man who gave me the mask."
Wang Ji took the initiative. What the ninja offered him was not exploitation.
"Because he and you are destined not to face each other."
Lily's smile revealed some bitterness, but she couldn't see clearly in the darkness. She said, "You should be thankful, thankful that in your experimental mode, the support you got was that ninja and Isaac. Doomed not to meet you, only to communicate with each other under a majestic system. They will cherish every friend, but in other worlds you can reach, it will be different. I bet you get Among the three support items, apart from Ninja and Isaac, the third person definitely mentioned that he can come to your world, and his attitude towards you is better than the other two.”
Wang Ji was silent, because Lily was right.
The Assassin's letters are the longest written, eager to befriend him.
"Okay, today your purpose of procrastinating has been achieved, it's time to get ready to go, you can't stay here overnight." Lily reminded Wang Ji, her words pointed out the real intention of Wang Ji.
Take it and live well. "
Lily said softly, her expression was extremely unclear in the unique dark area behind the bar, Wang Ji vaguely saw her reaching into the cabinet and taking out something. A thin porcelain-white hand holding a blood-stained cross appeared under the light of the bar counter, and was pulled by a thin crimson rope.
Chapter of the Fallen.
Wang Ji was slightly surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with something and never come back?" Lily seemed to smile: "It's a terrible thing to lose faith with the devil. Take it! How to trade is what I said Forget it. Your job last night already provided a deposit, and accepting it now is not a violation."
Wang Ji was silent, accepted the Holy Medal of Fallen, and the moment he put it on his chest, he felt something in his chest start to surge, and the blood-soaked stone holy medal easily passed through his clothes, Affixed to his skin.
Cold.
"Okay, you should go."
Lily checked the time, and Wang Ji was about to leave soon.
"Come on!" she said, "For newcomers who survived by relying on experimental props, the first task is often the hardest. No one has passed the independent hunter's assessment for a long time. You are not special, but Very rare. Live well and remember that you still owe a movie to a friend who is willing to help you. If you die, he may not see that movie."
Looking at Wang Ji's leaving back, she silently lit a cigarette. When Wang Ji disappeared into the night, she exhaled a smoke ring. Then he said the second sentence that Wang Ji couldn't hear:
"I was wrong, you are not only rare, but also special."
…
3:20 am.
Wang Ji came out of the bar and walked towards his new home alone. Just as he stepped out on his front foot, the rolling gate of the bar on his back foot slammed down, representing his safe disappearance. After checking the time, Wang Ji made some adjustments. It was a little bright when it was close to 6 o'clock in the morning. If day and night were used as the dividing point, he only needed to survive for less than three hours now.
"Yes, the city is so big, I can hide a lot."
Wang Ji thought. No matter how shallow his understanding of this city is, it is deeper than those monsters, which is what he is confident in. Under the dim street lights, Wang Ji walked quickly along the street. There was no one on the street in the early morning, only the flies flying under the lampshades of the street lamps were alive. As he was walking, he suddenly heard some strange sounds trailing behind him.
The sound was indescribably weird. It seemed to be the sound of a particularly thick iron chain scraping on the ground, mixed with the harsh sound of metal blades scraping on the ground. Wang Ji couldn't help but stop and look back.
There was no one on the dark street, but the sound of dragging metal did not stop, and it was getting closer. With a bang, Wang Ji's heart beat suddenly, and his blood pressure instantly rose. Wang Ji's tired body suddenly gained strength, and the heavy pressure enveloped the lonely street under the dark night.
"It's an unknown creature, and it's approaching me now. It can be seen that I'm still affected by them even though I'm not a normal human being. Then let's test it without using the night magic suit to confirm whether it hurts or not. entity."
He suddenly turned around and started running, the sound of metal rubbing behind his voice suddenly became more intense, and he accelerated to get closer to him. The metal buzzing made people's scalp go numb!
The sound was getting closer and closer. When Wang Ji suddenly felt a gust of air blowing from his side, his eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped forward with all his strength. The attack of the air current. Unidentified creatures can affect the airflow, which is enough to show that it has the ability to affect the surrounding environment. Realizing this, Wang Ji will no longer be stupid enough to continue gambling with his life.
Hoo!
The black flame on his chest spread out in the wind, and with Wang Ji's desperate leap, it turned into a flaming robe in the sky. The surveillance cameras in the roadside shop were still on, recording the moment when he jumped up and disappeared.
The tone of the familiar world began to change. The pupils of Wang Ji's eyes shook violently, reflecting a pair of blood-colored hexagrams. The surrounding streets and lights suddenly lost their color, and rich details began to unfold in the gray-white world. The black-robed Night Demon's Wang Ji's chest was flying with a faint light that could only be seen in another world, and the Fallen Sacred Seal shone with light, spreading to the entire Night Demon's costume with fluttering illusory flames.
Bang!
The pitch-black scythe flashed across his eyes, the closest point was only one centimeter away from his eyes, and the tip of the huge scythe smashed into a huge hole in the ground, causing gravel to fly around. The moment Wang Ji was about to fall to the ground, he supported the ground with one hand, his body was much lighter than last night, and the effect of the Holy Seal of Fallen came into effect silently. With the support of this single arm, his whole body seemed to be riding The dandelion of the wind leaped out of the height of the three-storey store!
On his chest, the Holy Medal of the Fallen changed into a dark and mysterious color, prompting the entire night goblin costume to dance wildly in the air.
At the last moment of leaving the ground, Wang Ji clearly saw a tall black figure pull out the pitch-black scythe embedded in the ground. Its upper body was bare, with terrifying scars from its chest to its abdomen, like a crawling worm, dragging a huge scythe in one hand and a rusty chain in the other. Underneath was wearing blood-stained leather pants, his head was sewn to death by a sackcloth, and no facial features could be seen.
