Chapter 703 The Disappearing Instinct

Hao Ren looked around and found that no one was paying attention to what was going on here, so he simply sat down next to Yagyu Sheng and asked, "Why are you two here?"

"Didn't I say I was just passing by?" Yagyu smiled and nodded. He raised his hand and placed a Laita spell card that interfered with perception on the table. He turned over the card and blocked other ordinary people around him from seeing this. The attention of the corner said, "The two of us have lived in this area before. Today I remembered it and came over to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here and actually... open a shop."

"The store is not mine, it belongs to two friends." Hao Ren glanced at Yagyu Sheng. He was not wary of the two people in front of him. Although they were demon hunters, they had been carefully "educated" by Raven 12345 and were currently wary of him. From this point of view, he was considered a harmless person. He was just surprised that the other party would suddenly appear, "Are you really just passing by?"

With a smile on his face, Yagyu paused for a few seconds before speaking: "Okay, I actually have something I want to talk to you about, but I won't talk about it in advance. Besides, we were just passing by here. At least we didn't know anything about it before we came to this small restaurant. Thinking that you run this place, we were originally thinking about how to find you."

"It just opened today," Hao Ren turned to look at the already busy store, shook his head and sighed, "They are all novices, look at this mess - luckily most of them are neighbors, everyone is taking care of it, just Let them make trouble.”

There was no need for Hao Ren to tell the two orthodox demon hunters in front of him about Nangong and his wife in too much detail. After all, the two parties were not very familiar with each other. Zhao Xi, on the other hand, speculated on his own: "I saw what looked like a couple's house behind the store. The two of them...are they the bosses here? Are they aliens who plan to live in seclusion in human society?"

"Is it so unbelievable that aliens can live a peaceful life?" Hao Ren glanced at the other party, "They are not monsters, especially those who have survived in modern society. Many aliens actually just want to live a peaceful life. You don't give them a chance. That’s all.”

"We know," Yagyu nodded. "We have no prejudices for a long time. It's just that it's a bit rare to see aliens living honestly in human society with our own eyes. After all, the aliens we saw before were either in the deep mountains and old forests. Hiding, or controlling a large number of human servants to build nests in the city, or the kind of ancient aliens that bring trouble to one party as seen in ancient books... I have never seen anything like this. It looks like a human being There’s no difference.”

Hao Ren said casually, and then suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, can't you see the race of the couple behind the store?"

Demon hunters are excellent hunters, especially when dealing with aliens. They can even judge the opponent's race and approximate abilities just by intuition. This is why they can finally win and end the "mythical age" in the long alien war. " is an important reliance, so the two Yagyu should be able to tell at a glance what race the several aliens in this store are! But their current performance clearly showed that they did not recognize the race of Nangong and his wife.

It's understandable that they couldn't recognize Nangong Wudi. After all, the hunting instinct of demon hunters is ineffective against their own race, and every demon hunter is good at concealing his own aura. If he doesn't take the initiative to reveal his identity in front of his fellow racers, he can often hide it. It was because of Hasselblad's extraordinary experience that he could tell Nangong Sanba's identity at a glance. But Yagyu and Zhao Xi should be able to recognize that Elsa is a siren, right? Sirens are an extremely rare race on the surface. No matter who sees them, their first reaction should be to be surprised and ask questions. But Yagyu's attitude is obviously that he did not recognize them. He probably thought that Nangong and his wife were ordinary people. of terrestrial aliens.

Liu Sheng was startled when he heard Hao Ren's words, and then he smiled helplessly: "I was spotted... This may be one of the reasons why I came to see you today."

Hao Ren realized that the two people in front of him were not here to have fun. He leaned forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"Our hunting instinct has disappeared." Zhao Xi said in a calm voice while maintaining a paralyzed expression on his face.

Hao Ren couldn't hold it back: "What?!"

At this time, Lily's voice suddenly came from behind: "Landlord, you are lazy here! The bat asked you to help... Wow!"

Lily finally saw two demon hunters sitting in the store. She jumped back and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

"Don't be so nervous. Didn't the war cease a long time ago?" Liu Sheng looked at the werewolf girl who had fought with them in a dumbfounded way. "Just treat us as ordinary guests. Come here today to talk about something."

Lily's wolf (dog) ears that almost popped out immediately became submissive again. She nodded and put the menu on the table: "Let's order now. Today's opening offer is 30% off for all meals and free beer. Eighteen yuan comes with two cold dishes.”

The Husky girl has such an upright character - she seriously treats the two demon hunters as diners.

Liu Sheng didn't expect this girl to be so sincere. He was stunned for a moment before realizing it. Looking at the simple menu, he casually ordered a dish: "Duck, soybeans and green beans..."

Lily replied blankly: "I haven't done this yet. I'm just busy writing it on the list, but I just asked around and no one knew how to do it."

"...What about the stewed carp..."

"We can't stew fish today. The landlady is in the kitchen watching the fun."

"What's the reason?" Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Then let's have Kung Pao Chicken."

"The diced chicken is gone, but there are still eggplants. If you don't mind, I can let Bat invent something, and I should be able to stir-fry something..."

Yagyu raised his eyes and looked at Lily steadily: "We have already ceased fighting, right? I'm not here to cause trouble - why do you still have a problem with me?"

Hao Ren raised his hand to stop Liu Sheng's words: "Does the look in this girl's eyes look like she is deliberately looking for trouble? It's probably true."

Lily stared at Yagyu with her big, harmless eyes. Yagyu immediately realized from the blank look in his eyes that the creature in front of him was probably insulated from the "sharp" attribute for life, so he shrugged in confusion: "Okay, I should have the braised pork ribs, then just two cold dishes, and finally two bowls of rice."

Lily blinked: "The ribs are gone too - can we stew the chicken nuggets?"

Liu Sheng looked exhausted: "Okay, okay, let's just make some. We are really hungry."

Lily nodded and was about to walk away when Hao Ren stopped her from behind: "Hey, wait a minute, I'm not seeing many people ordering ribs. Why are they gone?"

Lily smiled like a flower: "I saw that no one wanted the rest, so I ate them all!"

After Lily left, Hao Ren immediately held his head: "I'm really worried about whether this store can continue to operate normally... Are aliens suitable for this?"

Yagyu: "Anyway, I'm looking at... hanging."

Hao Ren sighed, thinking that letting a bunch of free-spirited monsters open a restaurant in human society shouldn't impose too much. Lily's ability to endure her cravings and serve the food normally was considered extraordinary. He shook his head and put these things aside, and looked up at Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi: "Tell me about your situation. Why did the hunting instinct disappear?"

"Literally," Yagyu glanced around carefully. Although the power of runes dispersed the attention of ordinary people, he still subconsciously acted cautiously. "It's not clear when it started, but it was probably within the last couple of days. Within months, and it didn’t completely disappear all at once, it weakened little by little, and by the time we discovered it, it had completely lost its feeling.”

Zhao Xi also added: "We encountered a wandering shadow demon a while ago. It was then that we realized that the hunting instinct had completely disappeared. Before that, we just felt that the senses were a little dull, and we didn't think much about it."

The hunting instinct of demon hunters is something that only takes effect when facing aliens. If there is no encounter with aliens, even if the hunting instinct disappears, it will be difficult for them to feel anything, so what Zhao Xi said is not difficult. Imagine.

"A large part of our ability to identify and warn against alien species is based on our hunting instinct," Yagyu said with a haze on his face, "After returning from 'gods' before, our hunting instinct is actually still there. Now, when facing aliens, there will be instinctive physical reactions, but this instinct is suppressed by reason. But now..."

Yagyu paused, smiled wryly and spread his hands: "We really have no sense of hostility towards the aliens at all."
