The Divine Hunter Chapter 23: Leaving at 1

On top of the stone sculpture.

The **** mummy-like man took a deep breath.

Sitting upright quietly, his eyes inadvertently glanced at his hands, which were flexed muscles and not like human beings. A trace of horror flashed through his lava-like eyes, "What happened to my body?"

"Why is it like this?"

His eyes swept across his thighs, chest, abdomen, and shoulders.

Rough fingers tremblingly touched the back, neck, and uneven cheeks.

He then woke up.

This tortured body is covered with disgusting scars.

Judging from the appearance, you can no longer be called a human being, right?

"Man, have you forgotten? You were captured in this laboratory after being drugged by a warlock named Steyngarde," Furius took a deep breath and still told the cruel truth , "As an experimental subject, you were subjected to a series of cruel and perverted tortures... In the end, your body was taken over by an evil spirit."

"Several brothers from the Snake Sect helped drive away the evil spirits, and you regained your consciousness."

"Experiment? Yes, it's an experiment!"

Suddenly, the dark red muscle fibers on Kaiyan's cheeks trembled like a cramp.

Breathing becomes rapid.

Memories are like stormy waves, rolling in my mind.

Cargo ship, sea, storm.

Angry, spitting, wailing, numbness.

Countless words, images, and sounds, countless scattered fragments, are connected together and then rearranged to become clear and logical.

He remembered it all.

Before falling into this field.

He escorted the "Flying Stag", a slave ship destined for death.

I no longer accepted precarious commissions and lived a stable life for several years.

Until one day.

The captain of the Flying Stag told him that it was because "the cabin was crowded",

As a last resort, arrangements were made for a passenger named Steingaard to move into his cabin.

Unlike most humans, the warlock never discriminated against demon hunters.

Mild manner, polite and generous in words and deeds.

The deep eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Everyone who talks to him feels like a breath of fresh air.

After spending some time together on the ship, he unknowingly became less defensive about the warlock.

I didn’t expect that the other party had evil intentions.

One night, while he was meditating. Steingaard used magic and drugs to anesthetize him.

In a hazy state, he vaguely heard the waves surging outside the cabin, the storm raging, the hulls colliding, and the crew wailing.

He couldn't help himself and was taken back to the laboratory.

The beginning of a period of darkness, life is worse than death.

The operating table became his home, and the blood was stained red and dried.

Never-ending torture and endless pain overwhelmed him.

From the beginning, he resisted to the end, and ended up crying and begging for mercy. He told all the secrets of the Cat Faction without reservation.

But the devil still didn't let him go.

Continuous torture, torturing him until he collapsed and became numb!

Wish to die!

The last scene in his memory - an animal stone sculpture opened its scarlet eyes towards him, sucking him in like a vortex.

His soul seemed to be separated from the body, free from pain, and fell into an eternally dark "prison".

Knowing nothing about the outside world, not even any dreams.

There is no trouble or joy.

Occasionally, I can hear a little movement and see a vague light.

Until today——

He fled the drowsy darkness.

Every breath is easy and free.

There is only one obsession left in my heart!

…

"You all saved me." Kiyaen took a deep breath and returned to reality. His scarlet eyes swept across several completely unfamiliar faces, and his hoarse voice was filled with doubts, "But why do you want to help me? Have we known each other before?"

"Let me introduce it to you. These four are the masters of the Snake Sect, Leisuo, Oaks, Seret, and Roy... It was they who saved you after putting in a lot of efforts."

The four Snake Factions nodded to him.

"And I...Flius the Cat Vulture, we met fifty years ago, from Cintra to Vizima, do you remember?" The cold voice of the Cat Vulture in the past is now full of emotion. Warmth, soft eyes, "You told me about your ideals at that time, saving a lot of money, buying a big house, getting a wife, adopting a boy and a girl..."

"When I arrived at Vizima, because I had a commission, I said goodbye to you in a hurry, without even leaving a contact method." Cat Vulture's face was full of sighs, "I didn't expect that we would be apart for fifty years."

"Since my old friend is in trouble and we happened to meet him, I will give you a hand."

"Flius..." Kian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "I remember you, 6 years younger than me, passed the Green Grass Trial a year later, and luckily avoided the sequelae of losing control of your emotions. ”

"We are all rationalists, that's why we can talk so well." There was a faint light on the ugly face.

"Yeah."

"Cat Vulture, the four masters of the Snake Sect, you pulled me back from the abyss, I'm so grateful!" Kiayan suddenly jumped down from the stone sculpture, his slender body bent down, and he looked deeply towards the few people. He bowed and said, "I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"

"Don't worry about repaying anything. How do you feel now?" Oakes breathed a sigh of relief and looked up and down curiously, "Is there anything uncomfortable? After all, that evil spirit has occupied your body for thirty years, and it has just been Leave."

As Oaks said, everyone couldn't help but look at the stone sculpture. According to their assumptions, the evil spirit should enter the stone sculpture after leaving Keyan's body.

At this moment, the blood on the surface of the stone sculpture has dried up, but there is no change in this thing compared to before.

The magical aura lingering around became weaker.

Roy also cooperated with everyone, showing a surprised look.

"Maybe our Axi attack will be extremely effective and completely eliminate that evil spirit."

"This saves a lot of effort."

……

"I am full of strength." Kiyaen closed his eyes, touched his chest, and felt the long-lost heart beating.

Twisting his limbs, neck, and joints all over his body made a crackling sound.

Then he clenched his hands into fists and clasped his toes on the ground to jump hard.

He jumped three meters into the air with ease.

This body is ugly, but it contains vigorous vitality, sharp reflexes, and amazing strength.

"My condition...has never been better!"

…

And Roy Anjin's pupils turned, and he suddenly discovered that after the evil spirit was swallowed by him, an ability in the other party's body also changed dramatically——

Mysterious Strengthening (Passive): The body is transformed by unknown energy, vitality and magic power are strengthened, constitution +5, spirit +5, and all pain sensation is lost.

Kyyan was like a golem before, able to absorb elemental energy from the air to survive and heal itself at high speed, but now everything has disappeared.

However, the 5 points of will that were deducted were added back and became 8 points again.

"It seems that because of the existence of the evil spirit cat, Keyan was able to survive in the laboratory for decades without food or water."

When possessed by the evil spirit cat, the personal will of the host was imprisoned. After being expelled, a more powerful and transformed body was left behind.

This is the so-called dependence of blessings and misfortunes.

Inspired by this, Roy thought of those powerful cursed people.

Curse, and possession by evil spirits.

Both of these methods are, to some extent, shortcuts to increasing strength - the path of evil!

……

"What year is it today, masters?"

"November 18, 1261." Seret said, "There is still one month to go before the Winter Solstice."

"1261..." Kiyaen pondered for a moment, his expression became dazed.

This date is the last day aboard the Flying Stag,

"It has been thirty years."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Confined in the laboratory for more than thirty years, normal humans would have died of thirst and turned into withered skeletons.

But Kyaan is still alive and kicking.

In addition to the terrifying appearance of a **** mummy, his body is extremely healthy.

It's a miracle.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?" Seret stared at the man, his eyes full of probing desire. "I think you still need a detailed and in-depth physical examination, as well as tailor-made magic treatment."

Kiayan was noncommittal, "Brothers, I have another question. Did you see two warlocks after you entered the laboratory?"

After he finished speaking, the scarlet eyes narrowed into a slit.

The rasp-like sound was a bit colder.

Having just woken up, Kiyaen did not have many emotional fluctuations, because all the emotions were wiped away by the "dark prison" and the millstone of time.

But now, as time goes by and looking back on the past, hatred is resurrected.

He must make an end with his own hands.

Cut all ties with the past, no matter crimes or good deeds, no matter hatred or attachment.

Only in this way can we break free from the shackles and regain a new life.

"Steyngard, Matteo Sikula?" The bald man with his hands on his chest shook his head, "We found the body of one of them."

"There is no doubt that you only have one enemy left...and he escaped from the laboratory and his whereabouts are unknown..."

"That's it..." Kaiyan clenched his fists and nodded.

"Old man, thirty years have passed, and the world has changed a lot. You need time to slowly adapt to the new environment." Furius stretched out his hand to him, "Come with us, first find Let’s settle down somewhere and let’s talk about revenge later.”

The cat vulture does this not without selfish motives.

The incident with Alphonse Willy made him deeply realize the necessity for the demon hunters to join forces.

United in everything, we will not be bullied.

The Snake Sect already has four guys.

He should also have a similar person to add some confidence to the cat pie.

"Where is the place outside? A city in the north?" Keyan shook hands with his old friend, "I remember that when the accident happened, the Flying Stag was sailing to the port of Novigrad with a full load of cargo. ”

"We are in the northernmost part of Nuo City, in the secret cave under the Temple Island."

"Then...do you think I can go out and meet people with my appearance?"

His blood-colored pupils swept across his body that looked like a demon, and Kiyaen grinned, forcing a forced smile.

This face has not shown expression changes for so long that the facial muscles have degenerated and the smile looks extremely stiff and awkward.

Coupled with the **** muscles with peeled skin and a face full of scars, if you were walking in the secular world and on the street, it would definitely scare people to death!

……

"Kiayan, as a veteran demon hunter, you should understand that our profession does not depend on looks!" Oakes said insincerely.

In fact, the other party was so honorable and well-informed that even he was shocked when they first met.

According to his true thoughts, he is not as cute as a ghoul!

But you must comfort the other person and tell some white lies.

"The world is a big place. As long as you are healthy, can eat meat, drink alcohol, fight, and play Gwent, there will definitely be no lack of fun."

"If you care about what others think?" Seret glanced at Roy, who understood and immediately took out a spare set of clothes from the space. "A cloak, a hood, a mask, and sunglasses are enough to get out of any difficulty."

"Man, I rented a house by the canal in Nuo City. Put on your clothes and come home with me!" There was a trace of longing in Furius's gray-green eyes. "I forgot to tell you that I will be there soon." Previously, we accepted a new apprentice named Karl. He is quite timid, but has good talent. Maybe you can give him some advice."

The man was silent for a moment.

He is alone in this world and has no friends he can rely on.

"Well...then I'll bother you all."

Kiayan took the clothes obediently, and soon, his whole body was shrouded in a black cloak.

The cheeks are also covered by hoods, masks, and sunglasses.

Wearing a strange combination of a demon hunter and a night thief.

…

The four snake sect demon hunters next to them exchanged glances.

They don’t know much about this guy as much as Cat Vulture, and they can’t say they have much trust in him yet.

So the youngest Roy was sent as a test, and he spread the weapons and blueprints he had collected before in front of Kiyaen,

"Now that you have regained your consciousness, these things will be returned to their original owners."

Kiayan took the Moon Blade naturally, caressed it gently, and waved it casually a few times. The agile silver light passed through the air, and his scarred cheek became excited.

Scarlet eyes glanced at the stack of blueprints again.

Life-saving grace should be expressed,

"It is enough to get the weapons back. These blueprints are given to several masters as gifts. Of course, this is far from enough to express my gratitude."

Kiayan paused, "I remember carrying five Cat Pie blueprints with me at the time. It seems that one of them was lost on the Flying Stag. I will give it to you when I find the ship and retrieve the blueprints."

"How can this work?!"

The four people from the Snake Sect looked at each other and were surprised. Is this guy so willing?

Then his character is not bad.

"Roy, just accept the drawings!" Cat Vulture also helped to persuade him. The snake sect's demon hunters took the greatest credit for being able to save his old friend this time. "You deserve this!"

"But if you can~IndoMTL.com~after you collect all the Cat Pie drawings, can you let us have a look..."

"Why not?"

Roy then "reluctantly" took back the blueprint.

……

Pack your bags.

The entire laboratory was swept again before everyone left.

This time there was no "no grass left behind". They only took away the most valuable books and left the alchemy equipment where they were.

If the escaped researchers can be eliminated, this underground laboratory can be transformed into a secret base for the Cat Faction.

Think about it, setting up a non-human secret base under the Eternal Fire Base Camp is not too exciting.

The demon hunter did not let go of the feline statue, and Roy packed it into a trophy package. After all, it could lure evil spirits from other worlds and study it, which would be of great use to him.
