When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the living room, Zhao Xi woke up from the unfamiliar sofa. She shook her head vigorously, feeling as if she had had a long, long nightmare. She shook her head hard for a long time before finally finally
After reorganizing the somewhat messy and fragmented memories, it took a full minute to fully remember what happened.
Hao Ren was already sitting across from the sofa waiting. When he saw the female witcher waking up, he smiled and said hello: "Hey, are you awake?"
"Um...thank you." Zhao Xi said sincerely, while sitting up and sorting out her clothes: she slept with her clothes on last night, and now she only needed to sort out her clothes. She looked around and saw Yagyu
He woke up earlier than himself, and now the other party was sitting in the corner of the living room playing chess with Yzaks.
"I never thought... I would stay in this place like this one day," Zhao Xi rubbed her forehead. She was still a little confused after coming out of the medical equipment yesterday, and she quickly took a rest due to her slow thinking.
She had regained her composure and couldn't help but lament her experience, "The first time we met was not very pleasant."
"Let bygones be bygones. Anyway, your demon hunter's chief executive and second-in-command are both in my house now. Logically, we are our own people," Hao Ren waved his hand magnanimously, "You
How do you feel now?"
Zhao Xi checked his physical condition and nodded: "It has fully recovered, and it seems that there are no sequelae."
At this time, other people in the family also knew that Zhao Xi was awake and came over to join in the fun. Liu Sheng also put down the chess game and came to check on his subordinates. After confirming that Zhao Xi had fully recovered, Liu Sheng seemed a little excited: "That's good, that's good... we really
We can’t afford to lose more manpower…”
Zhao Xi probably rarely saw his boss, who was also a teacher and friend, show such an excited expression, so he couldn't help but laugh a little awkwardly: "I'm fine..."
Liu Sheng was in a daze for a moment, as if he felt something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized: "Um, Zhao Xi, have you recovered from your facial paralysis?"
The smile on Zhao Xi's face suddenly stiffened. Lily next to her immediately joined in the fun: "Hey! Landlord, look at her facial paralysis, it's so good! Did she smile just now? Come on, come on, let me have another laugh.
Well. I am your late emperor..."
Before she could finish her words, Vivian pulled her tail and dragged her behind her. While pulling her back, Vivian lectured her: "You can't be quiet so early in the morning! Why do you get involved in everything?"
Hao Ren looked at the stiff expression on Zhao Xi's face and explained seriously: "Maybe the medical equipment cured your facial paralysis yesterday."
Zhao Xi: "..."
Vivian rolled her eyes from a distance, and Hao Ren immediately coughed twice to correct the topic: "Ahem, this question is not important, our focus is a bit wrong. Actually, I have something to ask you two: do you know about demon hunting?
Are there other people with symptoms similar to Zhao Xi’s?"
"Similar to Zhao Xi's situation?" Liu Sheng's expression suddenly became serious, "You mean..."
"You probably don't know about the 'goddess'," Vivian sat down next to Hao Ren. She looked into Yagyu's eyes and nodded slightly, "so I can only give you a rough explanation: the science and technology where demon hunters live.
The Erpos space is actually a relic left by a powerful god. This god is not the alien false god from the ancient times of the earth, but a true god who can change the rules of the universe. You have seen the true god, so you must know what I am talking about.
What does it mean? Now it seems that the true god has not completely dissipated after her death. Some of her thoughts are still entrenched in Corpus, and these thoughts can easily affect the minds of mortals. Zhao Xi should be parasitized by this kind of power.
’, now we are worried that Zhao Xi is not an exception."
What Vivian was worried about was not a whim, but something that suddenly occurred to her when she and Hao Ren were discussing the issue yesterday. The goddess's memory that remained in Zhao Xi's soul was only a simple sentence, although this sentence was of great significance.
It is still just a small and inconspicuous "fragment", and I am afraid that there is more than just this little goddess power lurking in the entire vast space of Corpus. If the goddess of creation still has more obsessions left, then the demon hunter's
The crisis is far from over.
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi really didn't know anything about the "goddess". Demon hunters of their level could only be regarded as mid-to-high-level soldiers. If Hao Ren's family didn't happen to live in their garrison, they wouldn't have even seen Vivian and
Lily's true identity has no right to know, so they naturally do not know "the truth of another universe", but after experiencing the civil strife in Corpus, the two of them also roughly heard about the ancient power hidden in the Demon Hunter's Holy Land.
situation, so Vivian's words are not difficult for them to understand. Yagyu sat upright: "I have never heard of anyone in the same situation as Zhao Xi, because it took me a long time to recover from my injury, and Zhao Xi's condition is
That's why the two of us left Corpus very late. When we left, all the demon hunters who suffered from "Soul Leaving Syndrome" except Zhao Xi had recovered. So there should be no other "carriers". But
Your worries are also reasonable: we cannot rule out the possibility that Corpus still retains that power, it may be hidden in any corner. And... the witcher is simply powerless to fight it."
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other, and then he turned to Yagyu Sheng and nodded gently: "Okay, we know what to do."
"Then we won't bother you anymore." Liu Sheng pulled Zhao Xi up to say goodbye. He knew that the help a demon hunter of his own level could provide to Hao Ren would only go so far. The rest would probably be the help of the ancient ones.
It was something to consider, so he handed over his hand and said in an old-fashioned way: "I won't thank you for your kindness. You can't repay the two of us for your help to Zhao Xi this time. As long as there is something we can help in the future, but we can't help you."
Open your mouth, and the two of us will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Obviously, as professional demon-hunting warriors, Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi are both neat and tidy people at heart. Facing the huge help Hao Ren provided them, the two did not thank a lot of verbosely, but directly made
made this promise.
According to the normal situation, in this kind of atmosphere and this kind of environment, Hao Ren, as the host, would definitely stand up suddenly, clasped his fists and cupped his hands, and opened his mouth and said a series of things like "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever", "A simple effort is not worth mentioning", "
Say goodbye today, meet again tomorrow..." and the like are in line with the style of painting, but Hao Ren's place has never developed according to common sense. He didn't wait for Yagyu to finish his heroic act before he went up and grabbed the person: "Hey, don't be like that.
Don't be so polite. Eat before leaving. The salted eggs Vivian pickled a while ago can be eaten today, you have to try them..."
So Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi ate a lot of salted eggs and went back after finishing their heroics...
After the two demon hunters left, Lily immediately rushed to Hao Ren: "Landlady, landlord! I heard that you were tinkering with swords last night? Why didn't you call me for such a fun thing?"
"Why do you always join in everything?" Hao Ren pulled away the husky who was about to lick his face, "We were doing serious business last night, why do we call it fun?"
Lily swung her tail vigorously and said, "It's almost the same thing. You actually talked to the 'Sword Spirit' of the God-Slaying Sword? What is it like?"
"You can talk to it yourself."
As Hao Ren spoke, he took out the God-Killing Sword. After the spiritual connection was established, the God-Killing Sword immediately entered the thinking mode and began to greet everyone in the living room: "Hello everyone, I am the God-Killing Sword, alias Huiyin.
Wall, Xiaojian, you can ask me to stab people, lay people..."
Hao Ren originally just wanted to let this sword come out to say hello to everyone, but he never expected that these weird names would suddenly appear when this guy opened his mouth. He was stunned: "Hey, wait a minute! Who is it?
Teach you what you said?"
The God-killing Sword continued to answer in that honest tone: "Padian? Terminal."
Hao Ren: "...Ban Zhu! Come out and explain!"
The data terminal came out of nowhere: "Well, partner, please calm down. This machine is just testing whether using the machine's AI and the God-killing Sword to connect mentally will activate its intelligent activities. After all, this machine
It also has a soul..."
Hao Ren gritted his teeth: "What's the test result like?"
"This machine seems to be quite successful. Look at how quickly it learns!"
Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal and threw it into Doudou's fish tank: "Turn it over!"
At this time, all of Lily's attention was already focused on the God-killing Sword. The husky spirit was greatly surprised by the character of the God-killing Sword: "Are you the God-killing Sword? Why do you sound so honest... I thought you were
How bad."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "The fault lies with the person, not with the weapon. It's just a sword. It can be as bad as it is."
Vivian nodded slightly: "Yes, that's the truth."
"Anyway, you have gotten to know this sword. Let's talk about another thing next," Hao Ren said as he put away the God-killing Sword. "I'm going to go to the Demon Hunter Headquarters again."
