The tall and thin man smiled, his face was a little embarrassed: "You may feel ridiculous to say it, but in fact, I am a demon hunter, specializing in exorcism all over the world......
"Demon hunter!"
As soon as the other party's words fell, Hao Ren heard a commotion beside him, and when he turned his face, he saw Vivian lifting her head from the plate, and the vampire girl asked tremblingly while wiping the sauce on her face, "What do you say you do?"
”"I knew you were reacting this way," the tall and thin man looked more helpless than surprised, as if he was quite used to the audience's behavior, "I've been more reactive than you have when I've told people before, but I'm really a witcher - you've seen the movies, haven't you?"
Van Helsing's case, I work in a similar way to him, but the way we exorcise ghosts is different from what we use in the movies. ”The tall and thin man talked seriously, Hao Ren subconsciously rubbed his buttocks back and kept a little distance from the other party, and there were a series of question marks jumping out of his heart.Is this the witcher?
Really?
A genuine Superman or a charlatan in the middle of the second brain?
If it were an ordinary person, he might have regarded the tall and thin man's words as a joke, either as a story, or as a charlatan pretending to be a ghost, but Hao Ren must have thought a little more than ordinary people: he knew that demon hunters were a real group!
Of course, he didn't believe the other party's words all at once, and really regarded the other party as a witcher: it's more likely that the other party is joking, and the real witcher shouldn't have such a big smile and tell people about his identity everywhere, right?"
Don't you believe me?"
The tall and thin man spread his hands helplessly, "It's okay, most people don't believe it anyway, and you see, I'm still a Chinese, I want to claim to be a lay disciple from Wutai Mountain, maybe it's a little more convincing, but I'm really a demon hunter, this word sounds quite foreign, in fact, every country in the world has it, we have a long history, and the record starts from the origin of the four major civilizations......"
Hao Ren subconsciously glanced at Vivian, which sounds a bit genuine: the concept of "demon hunter" in ordinary people It's a Western word, few people know that in fact, they have been wandering around the world from the beginning, but the demon hunters in China were called immortal monks by the ancients at that time, and the demon hunters in other countries were also called wizards or priests by the people at that time, but the demon hunters themselves would not use these foreign words, and what the man in front of him said was obviously very close to the truth - a fact that ordinary people would not know."
That......
Mr.
Witcher, huh?
”Lily finally couldn't eat it at this time, the werewolf girl had never seen a witcher, but she had heard a lot of horror stories related to the latter from Vivian, and she was a little nervous at this time, "Is there really a witcher in the real world?"
”"Most people listen to urban weirdos or horror novels," the tall and thin man smiled, "but I'm genuine."
And to be honest, there are still many people who believe in ghost legends, and in places you don't know, such things as exorcism and demon exorcism also happen from time to time, my main business is to exorcise ghosts, and this time I also heard that Old Jofford Castle was haunted and came here to investigate the situation. ”"Oh, then the secrecy of your job should be quite high, how can you tell people casually?"
Vivien's expression calmed down, and she asked quietly, but what she was thinking in her heart was: Why did this "witcher" appear so suddenly to reveal his identity?
Regardless of whether the other party is true or not, this high-profile attitude is a bit unreasonable, doing this business has always been a profession in the shadows, most of them live in seclusion, even if they live with ordinary people, they will try to hide their identities, I have never heard of a witcher who will catch strangers like the one in front of him and try to promote himself, Vivian thought about the witchers she had encountered in her long life, and a question lingered in her mind: Could it be that these people are finally as weak as herself, In modern times, I can't find a job, so I have to apply for a job openly?
Hao Ren thought about it in the same way as Vivien, but he thought in a different direction: when did the profession of "witcher", which should be dressed in a black robe and hide in the horns, become so high-profile?
Shouldn't all such world-saving heroes hide their faces to the end?
If you look at Hao Ren himself, he didn't look for anyone everywhere to announce that he was a film policeman sent by heaven......
Of course, the main reason why he didn't say it was that there was an organizational system."
What's there to keep secret," the tall and thin man said disapprerovingly, "It's not an unsightly job, you see that now even people who name palmistry characters have their own websites, why can't we talk about our work with people in the witch hunter business?"
”Hao Ren and Vivien quickly exchanged glances, thinking about how to behave like two "ordinary people" in this situation, and soon they reached a tacit understanding, showing the kind of audience who was interested but not believing, and was completely listening to the lively audience, Vivien had a decent and slightly distant smile on her face: "Then are you going to destroy the evil spirits in the castle this time?"
”When the tall and thin man saw Vivian's expression, his interest immediately dropped by half, but he still smiled: "I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the situation."
I know you won't believe me, and I'm not going to make you believe it, but we can go together, when are you leaving?
If it's tomorrow, we'll just drop by, I'm familiar with the route, there is a train that departs in the morning and arrives in the evening. ”Hao Ren just wanted to say that he had just arrived in the UK today, and it would take a day to reverse the jet lag, when he heard Vivian next to him say on his own: "Okay, meeting is fate, it just so happens that we don't know the road, and we bother you to lead the way."
Don't know your last name?
”"My surname is Nangong, and my surname is Nangong," the tall and thin man stood up, "the specific name......
Well, it's inconvenient to disclose the reasons for work, just call me Nangong directly.Well, I'll be waiting for you at this restaurant tomorrow morning at half past six, and we'll go together.But I only had to wait fifteen minutes – I wouldn't have been able to catch the bus any later. ”Hao Ren just wanted to say that there was a second-class girl with the same jet lag on his side, and he might not be able to get up tomorrow morning, so Vivian nodded again and agreed: "Okay, Mr.
Nangong, then see you tomorrow at half past six in the morning."
By the way, I'm really sorry that I forgot to introduce it when I patronized and talked just now, my name is Vivian, and this is ...... next to me" Hao Ren looked at Vivian in a daze and communicated with a "demon hunter" like no one else, until Mr.
Nangong walked away before he had a chance to speak: "What, aren't you afraid that he is really a demon hunter?"
”"No, the witcher isn't that style," Vivien waited for Nangong to disappear at the door of the restaurant before sitting back in her chair and exhaling slightly, "And let's be honest - we really don't have one to lead the way."
Our destination is the same as this Nangong, so it is very likely that we will meet by chance after arriving in Jofold, rather than suddenly meeting and catching ourselves off guard, it is better to walk together on the road, roughly understand his actions, and take the opportunity to separate when the time comes, which is equivalent to taking the initiative in your own hands.Of course, I'm assuming he's really a witcher, if he's just a regular exorcist liar......
That's easy, there is no threat to ordinary people, just let him lead the way. ”Vivien's analysis was reasonable, and Hao Ren had to admit that this vampire girl was more far-reaching than he thought, but in the end, he still had a question that he really wanted to confirm: "Vivian, do you have any way to determine if a person is a witcher?"
They are different from ordinary people, they should always have some identifying characteristics - just that Nangong just now, in addition to the 'style' of words and deeds, can you still determine his identity?
”Vivien frowned, her eyes looking in a certain direction with a slight distraction: "I'm really not sure, the most dangerous thing about demon hunters is that they can hide among ordinary people before activating their abilities, and my people have often been wiped out because of their own captive blood slaves mixed with demon hunters."
I'm a high-level blood clan, and I can analyze his identity through blood, but that also requires blood, which is not easy to do, very difficult to do. ”After a moment of silence, Vivien probably felt that she was useless and shameless, so she said uncertainly: "But if I have to say, I seem to really feel something different from him - I fought with the witcher back then, and my right hand was injured, and then I left a strange ability, when the witcher is nearby, my right hand will heat up, I feel ......"
"Don't feel it, your hand fell into the soup." ”"Wow!"
