Chapter 233 New Cooperation?

The second encounter between Hao Ren and these demon hunters was full of drama. After experiencing a surreal battle, they met again under a completely realistic situation: Hao Ren led the vampires at home out to buy things, and the two hunters However, the demons are respectively a clerk selling mobile phones and a section manager who looks like any other mediocre office worker. And I don’t know what happened to these two demon hunters. Anyway, they seem to be completely innocent now. No desire to fight.

In the deserted corner between the shop and the emergency exit, Liu Sheng looked at Hao Ren with a stiff expression as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Here, smoke, smoke..."

Hao Ren did smoke before, but he quit smoking after a dog girl with a nose four hundred times more sensitive than humans lived in his house: "Thank you, but I don't smoke - I didn't expect to see you again in this situation." It’s up to you. Demon hunters who dare to love really live among ordinary people..."

Yagyu held a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. He looked around like the most ordinary clerk who took a break on the way to work to find someone to complain to. He breathed out softly: "Aside from learning skills from my parents when I was a child and following senior staff, In addition to honing my skills, I went to private school like everyone else. I also passed the scholar examination and even almost passed the imperial examination. I taught and worked as a sailor on one of the earliest private steamships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Decades ago Some of the oldest Jiefang shoes were produced when I was the workshop director. Ten years ago, I was selling computer accessories in this city, and now I am an inconspicuous manager of this mall - do you think we are living Among ordinary people?"

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng paused and glanced at Hao Ren and Vivian: "Just like you leading this vampire out to go shopping, this world was created by humans after all. Even if 'special elements' like you and me Even if you have great abilities, you still have to eat three meals a day, sit down and walk around like humans.”

"Don't just count me in," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand, "I'm a human, an orthodox human."

Liu Sheng smiled and said nothing. Of course he now knew who Hao Ren was, but it seemed that he was too lazy to pursue many things. Hao Ren noticed that Liu Sheng had a look of seeing through everything and feeling tired and unloved. Zhao Xi should also have it on his face, but the latter had facial paralysis so it was difficult to see it. He asked curiously: "You don't plan to continue working as a witcher?"

"You still have to take care of evil spirits when they harm people," Yagyu looked at Vivian with a half-smile, "but I won't trouble you. I'm really tired."

"What happened to you?" Vivian frowned, "I thought that demon hunters were as stubborn as iron and would not change their gender even if they died."

"What if there is a greater test than death in this world?" Yagyu smiled, "A god said she was too lazy to educate a group of madmen with words, so she threw us into a place specially designed for people like us... We can't say that prison is another world. There, there are more than 40 races on a small planet, and there are more than 300 organizations with different ideas. Many organizations are even split into four or five different factions. . Everyone is denouncing each other as heretics, a holy war breaks out in the entire world every three minutes, and countless people are shouting for justice. No one cares about the origin of the conflict, and no one considers whether this kind of fight is logical. In short, as long as you label others as heretics, you have a 'justified' reason to launch a war. We are thrown into such a fantasy place, changing camps every day, fighting against heretics all over the world - and being surrounded by everyone at the same time Everyone in the world regards him as a heretic."

Yagyu paused for a moment and took a long breath: "It is said that it is a microcosm. It is a dream created by the gods by condensing all the stupid internal strife and blind wars that have happened in many worlds. Those who have completely lost their logic and have been raced The fanatical soldiers and generals are phantoms - but that doesn't mean anything. It's still as impressive as the real world. We stayed there for anywhere from three hundred to five hundred years to experience what extreme racism can do. How stupid."

Yagyu breathed out the last puff of smoke, and like a stingy little citizen, he smoked the ordinary cigarette until it was only a hot butt. Then he put it out in the ashtray on the trash can: " Racism is stupid.”

Hao Ren: "..."

He thinks this is indeed quite Raven 12345 style.

Vivian couldn't help but gasped: "Although it sounds weird, this method is very good. Why don't we just educate all the demon hunters and aliens in the world?"

"Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, that's what she said," Yagyu twitched the corner of his mouth. "She said that we can't use this method to solve all problems simply and crudely. This is stifling the variability and self-correction ability of mortal races. Anyway, I can't listen. I understand, maybe as a god she has her own considerations, but we are the only ones who are unlucky anyway."

Hao Ren knew what Raven 12345 meant: What she always insisted on was to let mortals handle their own affairs, let them evolve by themselves, develop by themselves, make mistakes by themselves, and correct themselves by themselves. It doesn't matter even if the entire civilization is overthrown and started over, as long as the inheritance can continue. , she would not take action head on. She would make only very minor corrections as necessary, corrections that would have almost no effect on the overall course of civilization.

Of course, these conclusions are the result of Hao Ren's efforts to beautify Raven 12345 in his heart. The real situation is probably as follows: the goddess was busy making instant noodles and had no time to deal with these guys, and this group of fanatical demon hunters People were really upset and wandering around in heaven, so that crazy female opened a space door and threw them in. All the high-level explanations after that were made up by that guy later...

Vivian crossed her arms and looked at Yagyu: "Anyway, I don't like to fight and kill. This situation is the best. But as far as I know, the demon hunters we encountered that day should be a passing team. That’s right, you guys…”

"We are the only two locals," Liu Sheng pointed at Zhao Xi, "They went to reconnaissance...anyway, they had some missions and happened to pass by here. Since I am the person in charge of this area, I came out to be the temporary team leader."

It seems that Raven 12345's education to these demon hunters only made them tired of meaningless battles, but did not fundamentally change these people's stance and "professional ethics." Yagyu mentioned some of the secret actions of the demon hunters. Still very cautious. But Hao Ren had already thought about it and thought: "Is it about the day of return?"

"Um...you do know."

Hao Ren smiled: "You don't need to be too cautious in front of us. You can even put aside the position of aliens and demon hunters for the time being - now you know who our group of people are working for, obviously None of us are helping, do you think you need to guard against a bunch of heavenly mercenaries?"

Hao Ren temporarily remembered the name "Heaven Mercenary", and when he said it like this, he felt that it was quite suitable.

Yagyu thought about it and said, "It makes sense. The power behind you is too big... Let me make it clear. We were indeed tracking down the day of return. A group of wizards and vampires seemed to be digging ruins in the north, but now I I know they have nothing to do with you."

"North..." Vivian blinked, but she didn't remember any of her "old friends" in the north, and Hao Ren asked curiously: "How much do you know about the day of return? I am also investigating this thing."

"I shouldn't know more than you do," Yagyu shook his head. "I only know that the aliens take this matter very seriously. They are planning to use the power in the ancient relics to launch a counterattack, and the power of the demon hunters has grown in recent years. There is an abnormal decline, and the world is no longer as free to start wars as it was back then, so it is difficult for us to grasp the trends of aliens as easily as it was in the past. We only know that they are studying the return of several major areas of activity. Things about the sun - a secret place near the Arctic Circle, Africa, central America, and the Pacific Ocean. The most active ones at present are werewolves and vampires, and some wizards are also involved, but I don’t know what those wizards are planning. What: They don’t have any ancient relics to dig up.”

"Arctic...Africa..." Hao Ren muttered silently, keeping this information in his mind. "Understood, I will investigate who the aliens are in these places, hoping to find out about them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Vivian, who nodded slightly, showing an expression that said everything was wrapped up in her.

"Speaking of which, are you willing to cooperate with us?" Hao Ren finally looked at Yagyu Sheng with some expectation. At present, he urgently needs to expand the intelligence sources among aliens and demon hunters. There has been a lot of progress in aliens. Does Vivian know him? There are few people, and the Eben werewolf family has spread the "sanctuary organization" under his name to other heterogeneous families, but he has never been able to find a breakthrough on the demon hunter side. The only source of information is Nangong. That half-hearted person, the last time he left a list for himself, he left two big shots like Zhao Xi and Yagyu...

No matter how you look at it, that guy named Sanba is only good at warding off evil spirits and can't do any serious work.

Liu Sheng took a deep look at Hao Ren and finally said cautiously: "I am still a demon hunter, and this guy and I (pointing to Zhao Xi) are still thinking about how to go in the future, so now I can’t promise anything. But... we will no longer be hostile from now on. Of course, I also hope that you will not involve us in the battle between you and other demon hunters, which will make it difficult for me."

This vague statement was actually enough. Hao Ren knew that although this Yagyu would not take the initiative to help, he would not refuse too much if he wanted to inquire about some innocuous things in the future, so he nodded with a satisfied smile. , and at this moment, the voice of the data terminal suddenly sounded in Hao Ren's mind: "Message from the Administration: Hilda's hometown has been located."
