Chapter 1079 Bai Huo’s Life

Most of the demon hunters living in the North live a life similar to that of fighting monks. They do not have their own houses, but live in various sanctuaries or military camps, and White Fire is no exception. She lives deep in this Frost Temple - after being adopted by Hasselblad, this ancient Ice Temple became her home.

Under the leadership of Hasu, Hao Ren and his party came to the place where Bai Huo lived, in the deepest part of the temple, in front of an ancient-looking oak door. This gate and the surrounding Gothic columns all reveal the atmosphere of thousands of years of wind, rain, and vicissitudes. Although the temple is not dark, these things still inevitably give people a deep and depressing feeling. Hao Ren stood in front of this door and looked at the mottled marks on the door. He felt that it was difficult to associate this place with a "girl's boudoir".

He has been in contact with Bai Huo several times, but his understanding is not in-depth. Now this is the first time he has come to the place where the other party lives, and the first impression he has is that of the "hermit monk": a man born in the Order of Demon Hunters. A girl who grew up and received rigorous combat training and religious indoctrination from an early age, living a life of asceticism. He put his hand on the heavy oak door, feeling as cold as the ice field.

"No wonder she said she didn't like this place. It's cold and boring." Hao Ren muttered to Vivian next to him and knocked on the door gently.

After a long time, a somewhat lazy voice came from the room: "Who is it? The door is unlocked..."

Hao Ren pushed gently, and the door opened with a sound. The next moment, he felt that he might have opened the wrong door: the scene on the other side of the door made him stunned!

I saw that the entire wall of the room facing the door was a huge display cabinet. The cabinet was filled with various figures and comics and magazines, and the floor of the room was even more messy. There are magazines and food packages. There is a single bed in the corner of the room. The bed has not been cleaned for I don’t know how many years. The sheets are balled up and crowded in the corner in an almost abstract art-like manner, while in the other corner of the room is There was a large 50-inch LCD TV, which was also connected to a PS4 game console. A petite girl wearing a cartoon nightgown was sitting cross-legged on the floor playing games. She had her back to the door, and her face could not be seen, but she could see her silver hair cascading down from her shoulders like a waterfall.

The girl didn't look back when she heard the movement at the door. She just raised her hand and waved: "Close the door, it's too cold."

Hasselblad, who came with Hao Ren and the others, couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice from behind: "Ahem, Baihuo, we have guests..."

Bai Huo, who was busy playing games, suddenly reacted. She jumped three feet high and rushed to the door: "Ah!"

Hao Ren didn't close his mouth until this moment. He glared and took half a step back, making a proud and regretful stance towards the man in front of him who was wearing cartoon pajamas, had two dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was not combed. The silver-haired girl, who was washing herself and still had potato chip residue stuck to her mouth, said, "Who is here?!"

Bai Huo jumped again, and his expression changed several times in an instant: "Hao... Ren? You... why are you here?"

The moment she spoke, the girl remembered that she had sworn allegiance to Hao Ren, so she quickly changed to an honorific: Even though she appears in this appearance now, she is still quite reliable. However, Hao Ren didn't feel that the other party was reliable at all. He stared at the girl in front of him for a long time before he was finally convinced that this was Bai Huo. For a moment, he felt like he was on the wrong world line: "Are you also attracted by the gods? The will is possessed..."

It's not surprising that Hao Ren reacted this way. In Bai Huo's current state, apart from the signature silver hair on his head, does he have any otherworldly temperament?

Bai Huo was confused: "The will of the gods? What the will of the gods?"

Vivian quietly took two steps back and asked Hasselblad in a very serious voice: "Is she usually like this?"

"Ah... I've been like this since I was a child... No, it wasn't like this when I was very young. At that time, humans hadn't invented game consoles yet," Hasselblad said with a look of despair on his face. Obviously, he had already known that this would be the case. "She started liking comics when she was very young."

Lily stared at it for a long time, and then finally said: "But this style of painting is wrong."

Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "Shut up! You are the only one who has no right to say this in this place!"

Bai Huo had already recovered from her initial shock. She quickly let Hao Ren into the room, but soon pushed him out: "Please wait a moment, I'll go change clothes..."

Before Hao Ren could realize what was going on, he was pushed out of the door, and then the heavy and simple oak door was slammed from the inside. To be honest, after closing the door, he was instantly relieved: after cutting off the mess in the room, just looking at the old wooden door, he felt that the painting style was much more normal...

Bai Huo changed clothes very quickly. Hao Ren had just sighed for half a minute when the door opened again, and then the talented girl demon hunter appeared in front of everyone again. She changed back into a black battle suit, her hair was neatly tied into a single ponytail, and the snack residue from the corners of her mouth was also cleaned up. Except for some dark circles under her eyes, Bai Huo basically completely restored her usual image - even that His cool and crisp temperament has completely returned. But Hao Ren could still see the miserable room behind her and the eye-catching word "gameover" on the fifty-inch TV.

Bai Huo followed Hao Ren's gaze and looked back, then exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah! I didn't save it!"

Everyone: "..."

"Uh, I didn't expect you to be normal..." Hao Ren's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it, there's the bitter nun of Icefield Castle that we promised..."

Bai Huo's ears were very pointed, and she smiled with a hint of embarrassment: "Well...who stipulates that demon hunters cannot have personal entertainment?"

Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. He realized that this was not the first time Bai Huo said this. The last time she said this was after everyone knew that she had a hobby of reading comics. At that time, Hao Ren had already It felt like his impression of the demon hunter had collapsed once, but this time, it was obvious that he was more impacted.

I also have a deeper understanding of the words Bai Huo...

"Life in the ice field is very boring." Bai Huo seemed to have regained her temperament after changing back to her suit. She smiled slightly and said in an indifferent tone, "This place is far away from the bustling world. There are no shopping malls or parks. Basically, every day It's just combat training and reading ancient books. Other than that, I can only stay bored in the fortress - do you think you can find other ways of entertainment in this situation? I don't like going out to hunt seals with them."

Hao Ren thought about it and felt speechless.

At this time, Lily's attention has been diverted to other places: "I didn't expect you to be able to get these things here... Do you have people who go to the base to purchase game consoles and magazines?"

"It's not like we're specifically purchasing these things. It's just that the field staff who are responsible for purchasing supplies from the human world will help us bring some things along the way. I'm already very worry-free. A game console is not a big item - Chief Andahel I once had someone bring a circus back, but I don’t know how to deal with the aftermath.”

Hao Ren: "..."

He suddenly had a higher level of understanding of the witcher! Apart from anything else, now he suddenly felt that these guys had more flesh and blood...

Bai Huo noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was a little subtle, so he quickly changed the subject: "So are you looking for me for something?"

Hao Ren was startled for a moment, and then quickly corrected his wandering thoughts: "That's right, we need to conduct an in-depth investigation of Corpus - and we need you to be our guide."

"Investigation?" Bai Huo was a little curious, "Didn't you investigate a lot of things before? What have you discovered recently?"

She had a rough idea of ​​Hao Ren's "job", so she had already guessed something.

"We discovered that a demon hunter who returned from Corpus was 'parasitized' by the will of the gods," Hao Ren said bluntly, "Now we suspect that there are still more powers of gods lurking in Corpus. ——They may have been suppressed by that dark sword before, but now that the seal is loosened, these things may have come out."

Vivian added next to her: "The 'God's Will' itself is friendly, but its level is so high that mortals will be in danger of their lives even if they are just close to it."

When Bai Huo heard this, his expression gradually became serious.

"Actually..." she said hesitantly, "there have been some unusual phenomena in Corpus recently."
