Chapter 582 Mist

Hao Ren and Hasselblad sat opposite each other in the center of the water bubble. The underwater light and shadow that flashed around them from time to time cast mottled bright spots around them. Hao Ren raised a question to Hasselblad: "If there is an instinct, it will not be helpful to your reproduction and evolution from a biological evolution point of view. It has nothing to do with obtaining food or improving your chances of survival. It just makes you more interested in other things." Intelligent creatures that are intellectual and can theoretically communicate are inexplicably hostile. Do you think this 'instinct' is natural or normal?"

Hasselblad shook his head and was about to stand up, but Hao Ren stopped him: "This is a very serious issue. I hope you can take it seriously."

Hasselblad snorted coldly: "Maybe you are serious, but you don't understand the importance of hunting instinct to demon hunters. This is the key to our upper hand in alien wars for ten thousand years."

"But without hunting instinct, alien war would not exist at all - it is not the key to solving the problem, it is precisely the problem itself." Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed at Bai Huo, "This young demon hunter definitely has something to do with you. A different view, because like me, she can break away from the control of the hunting instinct and think about this issue calmly. A veteran witcher like you has been controlled by the hunting instinct for too long, and it has even become a natural part of your life. , so that you don’t think about its irrationality at all.”

Hasselblad's always stern face finally showed a strange look: "This is the weirdest statement I have ever heard... Do you know that what you are discussing is an almost natural phenomenon? Discussing it Rationality is meaningless because it has always existed.”

"Then how do you explain that the new generation of demon hunters' instinctive hostility towards aliens is weakening?" Hao Ren spread his hands: "You have not encountered any genetic diseases, and environmental changes on the earth will not affect this aspect. If The hunting instinct is really a natural phenomenon, so is its disappearance also natural? If its disappearance is also natural, what was the meaning of its previous existence?"

Tutanin silently watched the argument between Hao Ren and Hasu. The silent man did not express any opinion. He took out an ancient prayer book from his arms, sat on the edge of the water in a weird posture and began to read silently. This place is already more than ten meters deep under the water, and the light is dim, but this does not affect the sight of a master demon hunter.

Soma was maintaining the magical environment outside the bubble. Shakira curiously came to Hao Ren and listened to this weird discussion.

Hasselblad realized that the frizzy-looking young human in front of him was not as naive as he thought. He heard some hidden clues in some of Hao Ren's remarks. This ancient demon hunter's ability to survive to this day is not all due to his combat prowess. He also has the agility and calmness that an elder should have. After a few seconds of silence, Hasselblad shook his head slightly: "I can't answer your question, but I still insist on one thing: on the premise that the hunting instinct already exists, it is meaningless to discuss whether it should exist. Whether instinct controls us or we exploit it, it’s a fait accompli and we’re happy with it.”

Vivian came to Hao Ren and looked at Hasselblad: "Hasselblad, you are a smarter demon hunter. As an elder, I will tell you something now: the innate opposition between various heterogeneous groups is also weakening. Including between werewolves and vampires. I know that you were largely responsible for the chaos in the Athens Sanctuary last time, so you should have also seen the mixing of alien races there - in the age of mythology, this was impossible. I have a Opinion: Regardless of whether they are demon hunters or aliens, they are essentially the same. To humans, the real masters of this planet, we are all supernatural 'aliens'. The so-called hunting instinct is not superior to the innate hostility between aliens. No matter where you go, this is all an abnormal phenomenon that suddenly appeared ten thousand years ago, but now it has begun to subside. You have seen it subside with your own eyes, so I suggest you calm down and think about it carefully. Let’s find out the truth behind this.”

Bai Huo, who was meditating quietly in the distance, raised his head and glanced here. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, but then he lowered his head again, as if he was indifferent to the discussion here.

Hasselblad's only remaining eye shone with a strange light. He took a deep breath: "Have you mastered some... ancient secret?"

Vivian pondered for a moment and then raised her head: "Have you ever thought about a world where all aliens and demon hunters coexist peacefully?"

Hasselblad: "...If this is a joke, then don't discuss it."

Hao Ren spread his hands: "Okay, let's put it another way: Do you think the demon hunters and aliens are native to this planet? Do you dare to point to the theory of evolution and the stratigraphic fossil sample library and say that you are native to this planet?"

Tutain and Bai Huo raised their heads at the same time, and they could no longer pretend to meditate.

"You mean the 'Day of Return'?" Hasselblad's upper body slightly leaned over, "There are two explanations for the 'Day of Return'. The first explanation is the return of alien power, and the other explanation is the opposite, it is the return of alien power. Will return to a place called the origin world... Have you detected that origin world?!"

Hao Ren did not answer directly, but changed the topic slightly: "There is evidence that all supernatural races on earth come from another world. If you have studied the theory of evolution, you will definitely be able to accept this statement, and I guess your race There are also discussions on this aspect internally. I am studying this aspect, and you may be interested in my results, but only if you are willing to abandon your prejudices and walk with a group of heterogeneous people."

After a few seconds of silence, Hasselblad stood up and said, "Let's wait until we finish this trip."

Hao Ren smiled and shook his head. The voice of the data terminal rang in his mind: "I know your invitation will not be successful this time."

"Whether it's successful or not, at least it gave a little push," Hao Ren also answered in his mind, "The Demon Hunter Group is a closed circle. We finally got in touch with their upper-level members this time. Why don't we try hard to loosen the soil for them?" Okay. There are not many opportunities to talk to them calmly."

"Then how effective do you think this loosening of the soil will be?"

"I believe that we will have many opportunities to contact demon hunters in the future, and it is absolutely impossible for them not to discuss the gradual decline of hunting instincts internally, so as long as Hasselblad is willing to say a few more words to his colleagues when he returns, , the situation will change soon," Hao Ren breathed out, "The alien war is almost over."

The little girl Elizabeth was not interested in these discussions. She was lying on the edge of the water bladder with Lily and curiously looking at the ocean scenery outside. This panoramic sea diving experience was new and interesting to her. The Siren Soma was swimming around outside the water bubble. She waved and greeted the people in the water bubble through a layer of water wall, and then a layer of beautiful ripples rippled behind her, and she transformed her body into a line in the ripples. The colorful fish swam away lightly chasing a string of bubbles. Seeing this scene, Yzaks curiously asked Nangong Wuyue beside him: "By the way, how many forms can you sirens take?"

Nangong Wuyue was distracted by the snake tail holding her own. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "How many kinds? Countless kinds. Water is amorphous."

Elizabeth ran over: "Can it be turned into a coral reef? Where are the crabs? Where are the sea urchins?"

Nangong Wuyue immediately swung his tail happily and prepared to show it off. Seeing this, Hao Ren quickly stopped him: "Okay, okay, can't you stop catching someone and telling them your Pippi Shrimp theory?"

Nangong Wuyue: "..."

At this time, the water vesicle suddenly vibrated. Hao Ren saw from the changes in light and shadow around it that the vesicle was slowly slowing down. He stood up and looked at Shakira: "What's going on outside?"

A bright light came from above the water bubble, and everyone found that the entire bubble was slowly rising to the sea surface. Soma leaned half in through the water curtain: "There is fog on the sea surface. It is a magic fog. There may be other sea monsters. Control this sea area. Much stronger than me."

Everyone immediately increased their vigilance, and the water vesicle had completely risen to the sea surface at this moment.

Thick fog filled the air in all directions, the sky was so chaotic that the position of the sun could not be seen, and the ocean was in turmoil, with tiny and strange waves that did not conform to the laws of nature surging over one after another.

There was a faint sound of some kind of singing coming from the salty sea breeze. Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound and there seemed to be something there.
