Chapter 1076 I Have to Go to the North Pole Again
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the living room, Zhao Xi woke up from the unfamiliar sofa. She shook her head vigorously, feeling as if she had had a long, long nightmare. She shook her head hard for a long time before finally finally After reorganizing the somewhat messy and fragmented memories, it took a full minute to fully remember what happened.
Hao Ren was already sitting across from the sofa waiting. When he saw the female witcher waking up, he smiled and said hello: "Hey, are you awake?"
"Um...thank you." Zhao Xi said sincerely, sitting up and adjusting her clothes: she slept with her clothes on last night, and she only needed to tidy up her clothes at this time. She looked around and saw that Yagyu had woken up earlier than herself and was now sitting in the corner of the living room playing chess with Yzaks.
"I never thought... I would stay in this place like this one day," Zhao Xi rubbed her forehead. She was still a little confused after coming out of the medical equipment yesterday, and she quickly rested due to slow thinking. At this time She had calmed down and couldn't help but lament her experience, "The first time we met was not a pleasant experience."
"Let bygones be bygones. Anyway, your demon hunter's chief executive and second-in-command are both in my house now. Logically, we are our own people," Hao Ren waved his hand magnanimously, "You How do you feel now?"
Zhao Xi checked his physical condition and nodded: "It has fully recovered, and it seems that there are no sequelae."
At this time, other people in the family also knew that Zhao Xi was awake and came over to join in the fun. Yagyu Sheng also put down the chess game and came to check on his subordinates. After confirming that Zhao Xi had fully recovered, Liu Sheng seemed a little excited: "That's good, that's good... we really can't afford to lose more people..."
Zhao Xi probably rarely saw his boss, who was also a teacher and friend, show such an excited expression, so he couldn't help but laugh a little awkwardly: "I'm fine..."
Liu Sheng was in a daze for a moment, as if he felt something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized: "Um, Zhao Xi, have you recovered from your facial paralysis?"
The smile on Zhao Xi's face suddenly stiffened, and Lily next to her immediately joined in the fun: "Hey! Landlord, look at her facial paralysis, it's so good! Did she smile just now? Come on, come on, let me have another laugh. Well, I am your former emperor..."
Before she could finish her words, Vivian pulled her tail and dragged her behind her. While pulling her back, Vivian lectured her: "You can't be quiet so early in the morning! Why do you get involved in everything?"
Hao Ren looked at the stiff expression on Zhao Xi's face and explained seriously: "Maybe the medical equipment cured your facial paralysis yesterday."
Zhao Xi: "..."
Vivian rolled her eyes from a distance, and Hao Ren immediately coughed twice to correct the topic: "Ahem, this question is not important, our focus is a bit wrong. Actually, I have something to ask you two: do you know about demon hunting? Are there other people with symptoms similar to Zhao Xi’s?"
"Similar to Zhao Xi's situation?" Liu Sheng's expression suddenly became serious, "You mean..."
"You probably don't know about the 'goddess'," Vivian sat down next to Hao Ren. She looked into Yagyu's eyes and nodded slightly, "so I can only give you a rough explanation: the science and technology where witchers live. The Erpos space is actually a relic left by a powerful god. This god is not the alien pseudo-god from ancient times on earth, but a real true god who can change the rules of the universe - you have seen the true god, so you must know me. What do you mean? Now it seems that the true god has not completely dissipated after her death. Part of her thoughts are still entrenched in Corpus, and these thoughts can easily affect the minds of mortals. Zhao Xi should be inspired by this power 'Parasite', now we are worried that Zhao Xi is not an exception."
What Vivian was worried about was not a whim, but something that suddenly occurred to her when she and Hao Ren were discussing the issue yesterday. The goddess's memory that remains in Zhao Xi's soul is only a simple sentence. Although this sentence is of great significance, it is still just a small and inconspicuous "fragment", and in the entire huge Corpus space, there may not only be There is only so much goddess power lurking - if the goddess of creation still has more obsessions left, then the demon hunter's crisis is far from over.
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi really didn't know anything about the "goddess". Demon hunters of their level could only be regarded as middle-to-high-level soldiers. If Hao Ren's family didn't happen to live in their garrison, they wouldn't have even seen Vivian and Lily's true identity has no right to know, so they naturally don't know the "truth of another universe", but after experiencing the civil strife in Corpus, the two of them also roughly heard about the ancient power hidden in the Demon Hunter's Holy Land. situation, so Vivian’s words are not difficult for them to understand. Yagyu sat upright: "I have never heard of anyone in the same situation as Zhao Xi - because it took me a long time to recuperate, and Zhao Xi's condition was like that, so the two of us left Corpus very late. When they left, all the demon hunters who suffered from 'Soul Leaving Syndrome' except Zhao Xi had recovered, so there should be no other 'carriers'. But your worries are also very reasonable: it is not ruled out that Corpus is still The possibility of retaining that power, it could be hidden in any corner, and... the witcher is simply powerless to fight it.”
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other, and then he turned to Yagyu Sheng and nodded lightly: "Okay, we know what to do."
"Then we won't bother you." Liu Sheng pulled Zhao Xi up to say goodbye. He knew that the help a demon hunter at his level could provide to Hao Ren would only go so far. The rest would probably be those at the level of the Ancient Ones. It was something he had to consider, so he handed over his hand and said in an old-fashioned way: "I won't thank you for your kindness. You can't repay Zhao Xi for helping us this time. As long as there is something we can help in the future, but we can't help you." Open your mouth, and the two of us will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Obviously, as professional demon-hunting warriors, Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi are both neat and tidy people at heart. Faced with the huge help Hao Ren provided them, the two did not thank a lot of words, but directly made made this promise.
According to the normal situation, in this kind of atmosphere and this kind of environment, Hao Ren, as the host, would definitely stand up suddenly, clasped his fists and cupped his hands, and opened his mouth and said a series of things like "Green mountains will never change, green waters will flow forever", "A simple effort is nothing to worry about", " Farewell today, meet again tomorrow..." and the like are in line with the style of painting, but Hao Ren's place never develops according to common sense - he didn't wait for Yagyu to finish his heroic act before he went up and grabbed the person: "Hey Don't be so polite. Don't be so polite. Eat before leaving. The salted eggs Vivian pickled a while ago can be eaten today. You have to try them..."
So Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi ate a lot of salted eggs and went back after finishing their heroics...
After the two demon hunters left, Lily immediately rushed to Hao Ren: "Landlord, landlord! I heard that you were tinkering with swords last night? Why didn't you call me for such a fun thing?"
"Why do you always join in everything?" Hao Ren pulled away the husky who was about to lick his face, "We were doing serious business last night, why do we call it fun?"
Lily swung her tail vigorously: "It almost means the same thing - by the way, you actually talked to the 'Sword Spirit' of the God-Slaying Sword? What is it like?"
"You can talk to it yourself."
As Hao Ren spoke, he took out the God-killing Sword. After the spiritual connection was established, the God-killing Sword immediately entered the thinking mode and began to greet everyone in the living room: "Hello everyone, I am the God-killing Sword, alias Huiyin. The wall is called a small sword, you can ask me to stab people..."
Hao Ren originally just wanted to let this sword come out to say hello to everyone, but he never expected that these weird names would suddenly appear when this guy opened his mouth. He was stunned: "Hey, wait a minute! Who is it? Teach you what you said?"
The God-killing Sword continued to answer in that honest tone: "Padian? Terminal."
Hao Ren: "...Ban Zhuan! Come out and explain!"
The data terminal came out of nowhere: "Well, partner, please calm down - this machine is just testing whether using the machine's AI to connect with the God-killing Sword's mind will activate its intelligent activities. After all, This machine also has a mind..."
Hao Ren gritted his teeth: "What are the test results like?"
"This machine feels quite successful - look how quickly it learns!"
Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal and threw it into Doudou's fish tank: "Turn it over!"
At this time, all of Lily's attention was focused on the God-Killing Sword. The husky spirit was greatly surprised by the character of the God-Killing Sword: "Are you the God-Killing Sword? Why do you sound so honest... I thought you were How bad.”
Hao Ren waved his hand: "The fault lies with the person, not the weapon. It is just a sword. It can be as bad as it is."
Vivian nodded slightly: "Yes, that's the truth."
"Anyway, you have already gotten to know this sword. Let's talk about another thing next," Hao Ren said as he put away the God-killing Sword. "I'm going to go to the Demon Hunter Headquarters again."
