Chapter 1067 Goodbye Yagyu and Zhao Xi

Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi were the earliest members of the Demon Hunters that Hao Ren met. The grudge they had when they first met has long been resolved. Hao Ren now treats them as adults: not friends, but still somewhat The kind of friendship.

During the Corpus Rebellion more than a month ago, Yagyu and Zhao Xi, like other demon hunters, were urgently recalled to the North Pole by the headquarters to participate in the counterattack against the Presbyterian Order. Since then, they have not heard from each other. Among ordinary people, they may be supermen who can reach heaven and earth, but in the grand battle of Corpus, demon hunters like this were just one of the countless soldiers fighting on the front line. Without special luck, However, their lives may not be more stable than others.

Hao Ren was very busy during the Corpus War. After the war, he was busy sorting out a lot of prehistoric information and the disputes between aliens. It was only now that he suddenly remembered the incident between Yagyu and Zhao Xi. Now that the civil war has ended for more than half a month, the new parliament and the demon hunters originally stationed in the Arctic are busy rebuilding Corpus, while the field demon hunters summoned from all over the world have gradually returned to their original places. Station: The thousand-year foundation of the demon hunters cannot be abandoned like this. They must try their best to rebuild their power network in the world. Even if they cannot rebuild it, they must ensure that they can keep abreast of the happenings around the world.

So if Yagyu and Zhao Xi are still alive, they have probably returned to this city.

Hao Ren carried the data terminal to the middle floor of the mall. With his good memory... which was actually the navigation of the data terminal, he found the small mobile phone store where Zhao Xi once worked. There was a short, fat girl standing in front of the counter, and there was also a girl with freckles on her face that Hao Ren vaguely remembered, working in the store. Hao Ren stepped forward to ask about Zhao Xi's situation.

"Zhao Xi? She hasn't come to work for two months," the freckled girl looked at Hao Ren strangely, frowned and thought for a few seconds before she suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, you have been here once before. How come you look familiar...who are you Zhao Xi? Are you her boyfriend?"

The short, fat girl next to her said bluntly: "No way, how could someone as cold and cold as Zhao Xi get a boyfriend..."

"Well, I'm not," Hao Ren waved his hands awkwardly, then became a little worried, "Zhao Xi hasn't come back yet? Don't you have any news at all?"

The pudgy girl shook her head vigorously: "No, she is very mysterious. We don't even know where she lives. When I called her last month, I found that her mobile phone was turned off."

Hao Ren frowned, wondering whether he should go to Hasselblad or Bai Huo to confirm the list of surviving demon hunters. At the same time, he casually asked about the whereabouts of another person: "What about Yagyu? He came to work. What?"

The freckled girl nodded when she heard Yagyu's name, but before she could speak, Hao Ren heard a vaguely familiar voice coming from behind: "Eh? Why are you here?"

Hao Ren turned around and found that it was Yagyu Sheng who was standing behind him. This senior demon hunter was still dressed as before, wearing a half-new suit, a pair of decorative plain glasses, and a pair of not very bright glasses. Cheap leather shoes, looking like a small factory director from a paper factory in the urban-rural fringe area, walking in a bustling shopping mall and turning his face away from everyone. He stood three meters away and looked at Hao Ren with a little surprise, and then suddenly laughed: "I haven't seen him for more than half a month."

Hao Ren quickly walked over and whispered, "I haven't seen you in two months."

"It's normal. When we last met, you were leading a hundred thousand demons to storm the temple, but I was lying on a stretcher watching you fight. I can see you, but you can't see me." Yagyu smiled, rolled up his sleeves and exposed his wrists. , there was a dark red circumcision wound on his wrist, "and there is still a little souvenir - this hand just grew out ten days ago. Fortunately, it was just chopped off by a knife. If it was injured by a spell, I'm afraid it will last a lifetime." It won’t grow back, and I won’t be able to go to work.”

Hao Ren looked at this former "enemy" and couldn't sum up the various emotions in his heart. In the end, he just smiled and said: "It's good to be alive. Where is Zhao Xi?"

"Zhao Xi? She..." Liu Sheng paused suddenly before continuing, "She is still alive."

"Can I go see her?"

Liu Sheng thought for a while and nodded: "Come with me. It just so happens that I can get off work early today."

Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi lived not far away, and unlike what Hao Ren had guessed, the place the two demon hunters chose as their base was not a mysterious and gloomy corner, nor did it have much of a weird atmosphere. They lived not far from the shopping mall. In a residential area far away, the two of them were neighbors on the top floor of each other.

They lived in seclusion in the city, and the place where they lived was completely invisible to anyone who knew it was the residence of a witcher.

"Living on the top floor, it's usually quieter," Liu Sheng led Hao Ren to his rented place. He first threw his things into his room, and then took out another set of keys from his pocket to open Zhao Xi's door. , "The elevators here are always out of order. Although climbing the stairs is not tiring, it is quite annoying."

"Are you two still buying a house in the city?" Hao Ren suddenly said this out of nowhere.

"How can you not, the house price is so expensive now," Yagyu replied casually, "We rent this house."

Hao Ren was stunned: "You demon hunters are still short of money?"

Yagyu looked at him strangely: "Does a demon hunter have to be rich?"

"Uh...I mean you are more or less immortal. You will live hundreds or thousands of years in this life. Even if you sell sweet potatoes, you should be at the peak of your life." Hao Ren felt incredible. He felt that the demon hunter was a descendant of the Mythical Age. The big winner shouldn't be in such a miserable situation. Although there is no reason, that's what he thinks, "At least you should have no problem buying a house like this."

Yagyu chuckled: "Then why do you rent all the houses there?"

Hao Ren thought about it and felt speechless...

But he still felt that it was quite unbelievable that a regional leader-level demon hunter like Yagyu needed to rent a house. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this might be "attributed" to Vivian: the poor goddess Countess was so powerful in the country. , even though she had abdicated from the position of the Fourteenth Saint six thousand years ago, her remaining divine power still spread to the entire demon hunter organization. At least judging from Yagyu's situation, the demon hunters Grassroots cadres are not doing so well...

At this time, Liu Sheng had found the key and opened the door. He greeted inside: "Zhao Xi, a guest is here."

Afterwards, no one in the room responded, so Liu Sheng let Hao Ren into the living room: "Come in, she can't entertain you."

Hao Ren walked into the house with a little curiosity. It was a very simple home, a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. There were only a few basic simple furniture in the living room, and Zhao Xi was sitting on the faded sofa. She showed no reaction to anyone entering the house.

Hao Ren immediately sensed that something was wrong with the other party. He walked forward, only to find that Zhao Xi was just staring at the wall opposite the living room with an expressionless face, his eyes half-open and half-closed, blinking occasionally, but there was no focus in his pupils. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhao Xi's eyes, and the latter seemed to respond slightly: she tilted her head slightly, but other than that there was no other movement.

"Is this... Soul Leaving Syndrome?" Hao Ren thought of the remaining symptoms of many demon hunters after the Battle of Corpus, those demon hunters who had been trapped in the clock tower of the spirit world and the surviving Elder Order. Soldiers all have this situation, but Zhao Xi's situation is obviously more serious: now that so much time has passed, she is still almost a vegetable!

"She was once captured in the spirit world clock tower. Although it didn't last long, she became like this after she came out," Yagyu sighed, "Oh, she is too weak. I don't know when she will recover."

The extent of the impact of Soul Leaving Syndrome directly depends on the victim's mental strength. A powerful demon hunter like Hasselblad only needs about a week to return to normal mobility from the Soul Leaving Syndrome state, while the weaker the Demon Hunter The more serious the effects of soul-leaving syndrome are. There is no doubt that Zhao Xi is a very weak demon hunter - she is not even a senior, just an ordinary formal hunter.

Therefore, Yagyu believes that Zhao Xi's current state is the result of malignant soul separation syndrome.

Hao Ren actually thought so at first, but just when he was about to leave in front of Zhao Xi, the data terminal suddenly came out of his pocket: "Wait a minute! She doesn't seem to have Leap Soul Syndrome!"

Hao Ren was startled for a moment, and then he realized one thing: his physical strength seemed to be working again?

At this time, the data terminal had already circled Zhao Xi's head several times. After sweeping around, it suddenly flew back: "There is something in her soul, a very powerful thing!"
