Chapter 897 The most peculiar joint investigation team
The elite team of demon hunters led by Hasselblad and the investigation team led by Hao Ren met as scheduled in front of the family hall. When the two sides met violently, everyone except Hao Ren and the others became nervous subconsciously. Wayne
Hesperus remained calm on the surface, but the brilliance of magic began to appear in his hands, while the demon hunters clenched their crossbows and holy silver daggers, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Even though they had been prepared before, they had been sworn enemies for ten thousand years after all. This reaction of immediately approaching battle after meeting had almost become an instinct engraved in their bones. It was not something that could be suppressed by making some mental preparations.
As for Lily hanging around holding a sign...this was ignored.
The young demon hunter subconsciously raised his hand crossbow and aimed at the aliens across the square. Wayne responded with a threatening gesture, baring his fangs. The atmosphere of the battle became explosive, while Vivian just looked at the two sides indifferently and said:
Hasselblad nodded from a distance: "Why, are you really ready to fight? Has the demon hunter now degraded to the point where he can only think with his muscles?"
"Don't take action yet," Hasselblad raised his hand to stop the subordinates around him, and then nodded to Vivian, "Your Excellency, Countess, I haven't seen you for many days."
The two "leaders", at least on the demon hunters' side, believed that Vivian was the leader on the opposite side. They exchanged a few words at a distance that was neither far nor close. As a result, the atmosphere eased slightly, and the demon hunters maintained a very high level of confidence.
The vigilance slowly lowered their weapons, but the Leta spell cards in everyone's hands remained activated. The same goes for Wayne and Hesperius: despite their outward peaceful gestures, they were both in a position where they could explode at any time.
The state of fighting.
This is the greatest degree of restraint that can be maintained when aliens and demon hunters meet face to face.
Vivian was already very satisfied with this situation. She showed a smile: "That's good. I don't like to see you fighting and killing all day long. It's been so many years. The huge hatred is not enough to kill you."
Is that so?"
Most of the demon hunters were looking at Vivian curiously. Some of them had heard of the name "The Countess Who Summoned the Red Moon" but had never seen it. At this time, they saw with their own eyes this ancient creature that is said to be the oldest in history.
The origin of the demon hunter organization is even older than the alien ancestors. Even hunters who have been educated in hatred since childhood will inevitably cast awe in their eyes. Hasselblad ignored the actions of his subordinates around him. He, Bai Huo and the dark-skinned bald man
The man took a few steps forward: "I think when we meet, we shouldn't have to say those unnecessary pleasantries. Everyone knows what they are here for today. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Vivian looked at the soldiers brought by Hasselblad and said casually: "Let's act together."
As soon as these words came out, not only the ordinary demon hunters started to commotion, but also Hasselblad and Bai Huo were a little surprised. They both said in unison: "Let's act together?"
Vivian nodded seriously to show that she was not joking. Then she turned slightly to reveal the family hall at the back: "You will know when you go in and see for yourself. This situation is different from anything you have dealt with before."
Hasselblad glanced at Vivian doubtfully, then lowered his head and strode into the Ancatero family hall. Several master-level demon hunters filed in behind him.
After a while, Hasselblad led the people out of the hall. His face could almost be described as a dark cloud, with extreme seriousness and consternation mixed together. He waved his hand to the soldiers outside to signal everyone to calm down.
, then turned to Vivian: "Just do what you want."
After hearing the leader's decision, the demon hunters had different expressions. Some were surprised, some found it difficult to accept, and some were at a loss. These hunters have been taught an absolute hatred of aliens since they were young, and they are "innate hostility".
This weird phenomenon has pervaded every hunter for all the years since he was born. There is no such option in their brain circuits as "cooperating with aliens". Therefore, Hasselblad's words made many hunters feel like fantasy. But after a period of commotion,
.No demon hunters stood up to express objections: Hasselblad is the absolute leader of this team. As a highly respected "elder" level hunter, he only needs to be responsible for the twelve most senior "saints".
When taking action, his orders can be regarded as the decisions of the Supreme Council of Elders, which cannot be questioned.
Vivian tilted her head slightly to the side: "Wayne, do you have any objection?"
Wayne exhaled, with a strange expression on his face: "I will obey your orders. But... this is really a rare experience."
A group of demon hunters reluctantly came together with Hao Ren and the others, forming the weirdest "joint investigation team" in history. Hao Ren never thought that the atmosphere formed by people gathering together could be so weird.
To this extent, he felt goosebumps all over his body when he walked in the middle of the team. The atmosphere where everyone was wary of prying, hostile and nervous but no one dared to make the first move made people feel like they were on pins and needles. And he was definitely not the only one who felt this way.
People. Even the demon hunters themselves were tense and livid. Hao Ren thought about it for a moment. This situation was a bit like a large group of people holding gas cans together, and then they suddenly realized that someone might be planning to smoke.
Have a cigarette and calm down...
Lily was quite sensitive to the atmosphere. She felt uncomfortable and moved closer to Hao Ren, her tail swollen like a sword mound: "Landlord, these people really don't know how to fight, do they?"
"Probably... we can't fight," Hao Ren glanced at Vivian and Hasselblad uneasily, "These two seem to be able to calm down the situation."
The joint investigators walked towards the family hall, but Hesperius came to Hasselblad calmly: "Long time no see. The last time... was in Athens, right."
Hasselblad had noticed Hesperus just now. And the white fire and bald men beside him also knew the grudge between the "Twilight Goddess" and Hasselblad, so when Hesperus suddenly came over
Both of them were nervous. However, the expression on Hasselblad's face did not change: "Long time no see, Hesperius. Your injury...is healed."
"I should thank a certain strange doctor," Hesperius said without any sadness or joy in his expression, "On your side, you seem to be blind."
Hasselblad's eyes drifted slightly to Vivian, and smiled slightly to himself: "It's an honor to be blinded by that one eye. By the way, I remember that you were like crazy when you were in the Athens Asylum.
You rushed out suddenly, just now I was worried that you would do the same thing this time."
Hesperius gently touched the spot on her forehead where there used to be a hole in her mind. Her smile showed no trace of what she was thinking: "Ha, after taking out the arrow, it seems that even her personality has recovered."
Hasselblad's expression was indifferent: "It seems that I accidentally made a peaceful god become violent."
Hesperius looked at Hasselblad quietly for a while, her eyes shining with amber light like dusk contained many deep thoughts, but in the end she just nodded slightly and stepped back as if nothing had happened.
Arriving at Vivian's side.
Hasselblad maintained his usual cold and serious expression, and the conversation just now seemed to have no impact on him.
The two sworn enemies, who had deep grudges, just exchanged a few words in a nonchalant manner, which made everyone onlookers sweat. After they retreated, Hao Ren was a little confused, and he touched Vivian next to him:
"What do these two mean?"
"I still remember what you did back then, but the conditions are not suitable now, so we won't fight now."
"Oh, I will understand when you translate like this..."
Although there was an uncomfortable tension between the witchers and Wayne Hesperius, this atmosphere weakened after everyone entered the hall: the corpses of the witchers in the hall were brought by Hasselblad.
The soldiers who arrived had no time to think about anything else. They immediately went forward to check the condition of each corpse, and someone quickly identified several important figures among them.
"This is Master Abaddon" "Master Croanne is here" "The body of Elder Marduk was found"
The demon hunters' reports were heard everywhere. At this moment, they no longer cared about confronting Hao Ren and the others. They were either checking the corpses, checking the magic remnants in the hall, or checking the damage of the hall itself to deduce what happened at that time.
After the battle here, the scene suddenly became busy and noisy. Although these demon hunters gave the impression that they were a group of stubborn and violent men, it must be said that they were really experts in this field.
At least he's more professional than Hao Ren.
Vivian brought Hasselblad to Amtura's body: "Do you recognize this? Is it Amtura?"
Hasselblad identified it: "Yes, it's him. Hmm? Is this what he left behind?"
His eyes fell on the message on the pillar next to Amtura. To be continued.
