Except for a few people on Hao Ren's side who did not have innate hostile attributes at all, the other demon hunters and Hesperis all exchanged information, and finally discovered one thing: when they were in the family hall just now, everyone lost their vigilance against others at the same time.Or to put it more bluntly, just now everyone completely lost their innate hostile instincts at the same time.The younger generation of witchers and aliens had seen their innate hostility dissipate a few months ago, but the ancients like Hasselblad and Hesperith had barely been affected by this fading due to their bloodline, but just now, without even realizing it, this innate hostile reaction had completely disappeared, and it was at that moment that the Shadow of Chaos suddenly appeared.It's hard not to connect the two things.Hao Ren touched his chin: "Who is the trigger for the two things?"
Is it the loss of everyone's vigilance that causes the Shadow of Chaos to take advantage of the situation, or is it the activity of the Shadow of Chaos that causes you to lose your innate hostile reaction?
”"The nature of the Shadow of Chaos is to cause strife and madness, and it is impossible to suppress everyone's fighting nature in turn, so the second possibility is not high," Vivien immediately shook her head, "The first one......
Although there is no obvious contradiction, why did everyone's innate hostile reactions suddenly disappear?
”Hesperius glanced at Hasselblad and asked seriously, "Do you still want to do it when you look at me now?"
”Hasselblad didn't have any expression on his face: "Nothing is happening at the moment. ”"I'm still a little tempted to kill you," Hesperius crossed his arms, "but it has nothing to do with innate hostility, it's just that you're not happy." ”"It seems that everyone's hostile instinct is indeed gone," Vivien's gaze fell on the other witchers, and those warriors were also at a loss and uneasy now, although the disappearance of the hostile instinct made them no longer so nervous when facing Hesperius and Vivian, but this lifelong thing that was almost like breathing was suddenly gone, and everyone felt a little strange, Vivien could only shake her head when she saw this, "Tsk, it's at this juncture."
Anyway, I think the disappearance of the hostile instinct has something to do with the activities of the Shadows of Chaos, which are aimed at people's hearts, and maybe they really pick on when everyone's defenses are weakest. ”There was no contradiction in these speculations, but there was really no way to explain why everyone's hostile instincts had disappeared at the same time.The only possible reason is that there is something in the hall."
Go back and look into it again."
Hasselblad thought of this, "Maybe there's something in the hall that eliminates the hostile instincts." ”Everyone immediately turned back to the family hall, while Hasselblad grabbed Bai Huo: "You use the secret technique to contact Tutain to confirm their situation, and also tell him what happened on our side, so that he can pay attention to the surprise attack of the Shadow of Chaos." ”The situation in the family hall was no different than before, the large-scale exorcism ritual had no physical effect, and the shadows of chaos were merely images on the surface of objects.When the dust settled, all that was left was the scattered furniture, objects, and human remains, as well as a faint white light that lingered in the air with a holy aura.The investigators began to search for any items or ritual remnants with magical reactions, while Hasselblad stood in the middle of the family hall, looking up at the large hole that had opened directly above, thoughtful.Hao Ren walked over and asked, "What did you find?"
”"It's nothing, it's just that I'm suddenly a little unaccustomed," Hasselblad sighed with a little emotion, "You know, the hunting instinct has been with me for thousands of years, just like when a person is hungry, he will have an appetite for food, and when he is cut with a knife, it will cause pain, but now it is gone......"
Lily heard Hasselblad's words when she passed by, she bared her teeth: "Hypocrisy, I don't feel anything, it's better if that instinct is gone." ”Lily reminds Hao Ren that this husky spirit is also hostile to other races like a normal alien, and although this hostility is very weak, it occasionally manifests itself in a little - such as when she grabs food with Vivien.Hasselblad laughed when he heard this, and he didn't smile much: "Perhaps, the younger generation like you is probably really lucky, at least you can control your mind more easily, and it is easier for you to adapt than old guys like us at this time." ”The old hunter had never had a good impression on Hao Ren, who had always felt that he was a rigid and indifferent diehard, and had a deep-seated prejudice against the other, but at this time he suddenly felt that this Hasselblad seemed to have a little human touch.He didn't believe that this was an instantaneous reversal that would occur just after losing the hunting instinct, but he didn't have a hobby of listening to other people's mental journeys, so he just made a few perfunctory remarks."
Based on what we've just experienced, we can deduce what the situation was like a month ago," Lily muttered as she looked at the situation in the hall, "Look at these banquet tables, the witchers and the Ancatero family brought by Amtura must have had a good atmosphere at the time, so they probably lost their hostile instincts all of a sudden, just like us, and then summoned the Shadow of Chaos because of this." ”Lily's words made Hasselblad nod his head as if he had realized something, and at that moment, Hesperius suddenly seemed to make a discovery: "Come and see this!"
”Hao Ren and the others hurried over, but saw Hesperith standing at the top of the hall at a banquet table, holding in her hand a gorgeous golden cup, which was surprisingly large."
Something wrong with this cup?"
Hao Ren asked curiously.Everyone was busy investigating the status of the bodies and the signs of battle in the hall, and not many people really paid attention to the banquet utensils scattered everywhere."
Do you think a normal person would drink with such a big thing?"
Hesperius flipped the cup over, revealing a large number of intricate runes and lines on its circular base, "It seems to be a ritual object. ”Then she pointed to some marks on the side of the banquet table and other strange objects scattered on the floor: "It seems that a small ceremony was held here, and these cups and candlesticks are different from those on other tables, and they are not like the banquet itself. ”Vivien took the golden cup and noticed that there were still some traces of red inside: the red wine in the glass had long since dried up, but there were still some remnants.She smelled something suspicious: "It smelled of witcher's blood, and the red wine had been mixed with blood." ”Then she looked like the blood of a member of the Ancatero family on the table. ”Lily's first reaction was, "Are they here to worship them?"
”Vivien glared at the husky: "I think what you say makes sense, but can you shut up?"
”"The ritual of exchanging blood, it's a pity that the ceremony site has been destroyed," Hasselblad bent down to look at the banquet table that had fallen to the ground because of two broken legs, he found some subtle rune traces on the table, but the rest of the table had been scorched, "Otherwise, you can figure out the internal ...... of this ceremony" Before he could finish speaking, Bai Huo suddenly hurriedly walked in: "Master, Master Tutanin, they are back, and ......"
Hasselblad looked up and saw Bai Huo's expression was different: "What's wrong?"
”"They found the elder Andahir, but the elder's condition is a little strange."
Hasselblad immediately let them in, and Horen saw Tutin and the other two witchers enter the hall, with Wayne following last.In the middle of the three witchers was a small figure shrouded in a dark purple cloak.Wayne nodded to Vivien, and then was pulled aside by Hesperis to inquire about the situation in detail, while Hasselblad came to the short figure and carefully lifted the other's hood: "Elder Andahel?"
”The hood was lifted to reveal the face of the elder Andahel, and Hao Ren saw that it was a woman in her thirties, with long light gray hair, and a face with oriental characteristics.It's just that the situation of this elder Andahel is indeed not normal as Bai Huo said.She looked dumbfounded, unresponsive to her surroundings, and even when Hasselblad greeted her, she just looked up blankly, unable to speak.Seems stupid.
