Chapter 900 Amtura’s Research

Hasu knelt down next to Amtura's last words and gently touched the indentation carved by the knife with his hand. There was a faint light floating on his fingertips. After identifying it through the demon hunter's unique method, he confirmed that the text contained indeed Amtura's will and had not been forged.

The bald and dark-skinned demon hunter who looked like an African was walking by at this time. He noticed Amtura's body and stopped with a serious expression: "Sure enough, Elder Amtura is also dead. It’s here…”

"Tutanin," Hassu stood up and nodded slightly to the dark-skinned demon hunter, "Take out those letters."

Tutanin was stunned for a moment: "Here?"

"Right here," Hasselblad said calmly, "Countess Ancesta is a respectable elder. She has taken the initiative to show sincerity, and we should respond in kind."

Tutanin didn't say anything more. He walked away quickly and soon came back with a small box that looked quite important. Hasselblad placed the box on the only long table nearby that was still intact. He swept all the debris off the table and took out a lot of letters and notes from the box and spread them out in front of Vivian.

"This is..." Vivian picked up a few pieces of paper and looked at it, "Amtura's diary?"

"We found clues from these things. Bai Huo should have mentioned it to you," Hasu nodded lightly, "These are the documents and diaries left by Amtura and two other elders during their lifetime. Including their research into...the phenomenon of innate hostility."

Vivian and Hao Ren immediately checked these documents with great attention. These documents have been sorted by the witcher. Not only are they marked in order by date, they are also marked with their respective authorships. Hao Ren just glanced through it and found that the elder Amtura paid much more attention to the phenomenon of innate hostility and the depth of his research was far beyond his previous imagination. In these documents, Amtura described in detail the "innate hostility" between aliens and the "hunting instinct" of demon hunters towards aliens, and clearly determined that these two phenomena were actually the same thing. From historical data, he summarized and compiled every supernatural race that has ever existed from ancient times to the present, as well as other information related to "innate hostility", including the degree of hostility of each race, the distribution of each race, the degree of force, and the strength of each race. The starting and ending points of history, as well as their respective forms of civilization. He used his own criteria to divide "innate hostility" into ten levels, and used a chart to roughly describe the average impact of the "innate hostility" phenomenon on each race from 10,000 years ago to the present.

On his chart, the initial influence of the phenomenon of innate hostility was incredibly high, almost completely replacing the rational part of each race, and was classified as "beyond the thinking level". However, around the end of the mythical age, the phenomenon of innate hostility had an unbelievable impact on The influence of each race dropped to the level of "reasonable and controllable". In modern times, there was a significant decline, and it soon fell to the level of "ordinary hostility that can be controlled at any time". At the end of the table, the curve dropped to almost zero at an alarming rate. Amtura wrote a sentence at the end of the curve: "Is it about to disappear?"

These materials also include research materials and correspondence between the other two elder demon hunters, but the things left by Amtura account for nearly 80% of all the materials. Hao Ren looked at these things with more and more surprise. He realized that these achievements were definitely not recent: it has only been a few months since the phenomenon of innate hostility began to subside among the younger generations of various races, and Amtu Ra had apparently been working on these long before that.

Vivian found a letter in which Amtura mentioned some of his research results to one of his friends: "... I discovered a long time ago that the differences between the various supernatural races on the earth are so Huge, not only in terms of culture, but also in terms of physical structure and soul. No one with normal thinking would believe that these species were born on the same planet under natural circumstances. ...I examined the confiscated books, and it was clear that smart people from other races were aware of this as well.

"...Aliens, as well as demon hunters, all these races undoubtedly come from outside this planet, and it is not the same planet outside this planet, but many planets. We all have different origins. No doubt..."

In another letter, Amtura mentioned this topic again: "...my friend, shouldn't we be suspicious? We have been hunting other aliens for thousands of years, and those aliens are also like each other. It's the same mess, but why doesn't anyone have any doubts? As you and I agree, every supernatural race should come from a different place. We have different physiological structures, different forms of power, and different cultures. Traditions and even different souls. Under normal circumstances, races with such huge differences have almost no chance of contact. Just like fish in the deep sea and monkeys on the mountains, there is no intersection, let alone any hatred. But we are Some kind of force is thrown on the same planet, fighting for the sake of war. Whenever I think about this, I feel very uneasy...

"We are driven by something that is not our own will. It lurks deep in the souls of you and me. Yes, we are like crickets and fighting cocks in cages, with our eyes fixed on the 'enemy' in front of us, so that we have no idea at all. People have been curious about the cage around them, and no one has considered how we were sent to this cage. But now, this power that drives us is gradually weakening, and I am increasingly worried that this may be even worse. Signs: If there really was an audience outside the 'cage', then he probably lost interest in the fight show."

Most of Amtura's letters are discussing this issue with friends. His main views are three: the supernatural races on the earth come from different "outer lands"; the various supernatural races are collected from all over the universe. , placed on the earth to engage in continuous battles; the phenomenon of innate hostility is a shackle and controller, and its function is to ensure the uninterrupted battles of various supernatural races.

And these three views can be summarized into one, that is: all of this is a conspiracy.

Amtura is limited by his vision on earth, and naturally cannot draw correct conclusions, but his conspiracy theory is still a big step forward compared to other demon hunters and aliens who have never had doubts. At least he clearly realized that the "hunting instinct" of the witcher had nothing to do with justice or mission, but something extremely suspicious and coming from a third party.

But these ideas of his are undoubtedly deviant behavior among witchers.

"I didn't expect that a demon hunter would think of this..." Vivian couldn't help but muttered to herself. Hasu nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Amtura is the weirdest one among the elders. Many of his ideas can even be called...heresies in our opinion. In the first half of his life, he was the most courageous warrior, fanatically immersed in hunting alien races, but in the second half of his life, he suddenly became obsessed with these doctrines. .”

Vivian held up a letter and shook it: "Aren't you afraid of being tied to a firewood and roasted by your Presbyterian Council when he studies this?"

Hasselblad shook his head: "His research has not reduced his status in the demon hunter organization, because his 'results' are always the best. He is still a powerful hunter, but... his ideas are a little weird."

Vivian raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "You obviously realized something was wrong, but you still didn't stop fighting."

Hasselblad had no answer for that.

Hao Ren wanted to hear what the demon hunter in front of him thought about these "heresies": "Hasselblad, what do you think of his research?"

Unexpectedly, Hasselblad nodded after a brief silence: "That makes sense."

Vivian raised her eyebrows: "I thought you would scold him with righteous indignation."

"Elder Amtura's teachings are not a secret, and do you think the demon hunters are really fighting madmen who only know how to show off their strength?" Hasu said with a half-smile on his face, "We are more dedicated to learning and fighting than most aliens. Research. But these theories of Amtura cannot change anything. The hunting instinct has a greater impact on us than you think, and the war situation that has continued from the mythical age to the present cannot be reversed by such a theory. At least. That’s true to this day.”

Hao Ren didn't comment on this. He just glanced at the documents, and a line of words jumped into his eyes:

"...To sum up, our hunting instinct is not a natural product that should exist in our souls. It is implanted by others and is evidence of human manipulation. Perhaps it is purposeful..."

Somehow, Hao Ren thought of the words Amtura left before his death: "They were right, we were wrong."
