The first ones to notice that the situation was abnormal were the large heterogeneous families located on the Greek Peninsula. They discovered that the hunters who were on hunting missions all over the world were missing. Later, investigators reported that they had found the witcher stronghold that had been deserted.
, a few days later, the same news came from sanctuaries in northern Europe and North and South America: the witcher was missing.
In Europe, Asia, the Americas, and even in the inaccessible Arctic Circle and the Antarctic region where hunting activities are most secretive, demon hunters evacuated their positions as if receiving the same order at the same time. Due to their weak position in information resources, aliens
The family was not sure of the evacuation of the witchers. By the time they reacted, the hunters had disappeared. They could only judge from the remaining clues that they had moved on a large scale in an orderly manner. So far, only South America
A small werewolf family sent word that they had encountered a team of witchers that had moved in a hurry, but the hunters were in a hurry, and although they had obviously caught the werewolf's aura, no conflict broke out between the two sides.
Various reports about "disappearance of hunters" appeared on the desks of patriarchs of heterogeneous families around the world within a few days. Whether they were traditional families living alone in seclusion or shelters huddled together for warmth, they all received this information one after another. Big families
The most elite investigators were dispatched to confirm the authenticity of the news, and the death squads all returned safely after venturing into areas controlled by demon hunters. They only found some residual traces of magic, and after the personnel were transferred
The empty stronghold left behind. Then the families who kept in touch with each other began to communicate with each other, and the news spread among the sanctuaries, and eventually, spread throughout the world.
The witcher disappeared.
By the time Hesiana called, the Athens Sanctuary had completed a search of the entire Greek peninsula, and the aliens had taken intensive actions that had not been seen in thousands of years. In the days when the demon hunters were on the move,
They don't dare to do this, and the search result is also "The hunter has disappeared." Several heterogeneous families in Asia are also taking actions independently. Although their action progress is lagging behind that in Europe and America, it seems that the results are not different.
.
Vivian told Hao Ren in detail the news she heard from Hesiana. There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice: "I feel like something is wrong."
"Of course this is not the case," Hao Ren threw the backgammon pieces on the table. "They can't leave the earth. And you said that a family in South America witnessed the transfer of the demon hunter team?"
"Well, I heard from Hessiana that they are a werewolf family. They have some connections with the former Hall Finley family, so they can talk to the Athens Asylum." Vivian nodded lightly, "They are with a group of evacuating demon hunters.
Got it."
"This means that the demon hunter did not disappear out of thin air, but ran somewhere." Hao Ren touched his chin, "No more information?"
Vivian shook her head: "No. The aliens are at a disadvantage to the demon hunters, especially in terms of intelligence. Because the demon hunters have divided and blocked the entire world, the alien families are basically in a quite closed state, and they can still maintain contact with each other.
It's easy to say, but it's impossible to go to the place where the witcher is on guard to get information. Everyone only got the news after the witcher suddenly disappeared, and there was still a big delay in the news. By the way, Hessiana also asked us about
Where are the witchers’ movements?”
Hao Ren thought for a while: "There is not much movement among the demon hunters here. One is watching TV with his sister, and the other is selling food outside..."
Vivian suddenly glared: "I'm not talking about these two! I'm talking about Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi!"
Hao Ren suddenly reacted to Vivian's reminder. He slapped his thigh and said, "I'll go find them!"
"Wait a minute. I'll go with you," Vivian said, putting on the coat she just took off. "There will be someone to take care of you on the way."
"No, just walk to the city. It doesn't take much effort." Hao Ren stopped Vivian and pointed at the circle of hungry people staggering around in the living room, "You should cook at home. Look at this
A whole house is crying out for food.”
Vivian turned her head and glanced, and the first thing she saw was Lily lying on the sofa, watching TV and stuffing potato chips into her mouth. Noticing Vivian's gaze, the husky girl raised her tail and shook it:
"Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry! What are you two whispering about?"
Vivian's mouth twitched and she nodded to Hao Ren: "...Okay. Go and come back quickly."
Hao Ren turned around and patted Doudou, who was still holding the chess pieces on the table next to him: "Good boy, Doudou, I'm going out and I'll be back soon."
Just when he was about to go out, "Gun" suddenly ran downstairs, and the silly cat purred: "Big cat, what are you doing? Go and buy me dried fish?"
"
"I just know how to eat," Hao Ren glared at the cat demon. "I'm going out to do some errands."
"Then I'll go with you!" The stupid cat couldn't help but jumped over, with a cat's unique stubbornness and stubbornness on his face, "Eat delicious food!"
Hao Ren thought for a while and realized that the cat was of no use if she stayed at home anyway. It would take a lot of effort to persuade her to stay, so he didn't say anything and just asked the cat girl to change into clothes for going out. Then the two of them were in a hot mood.
We walked out the door and headed straight to the city.
If he was correct, the two "regional demon hunters" Yagyu and Zhao Xi should still be working in the previous shopping mall. He had seen them there at least a month ago when he went shopping in the city.
After Hao Ren went out, Doudou was still holding the chess piece and was stunned for a long time. Then she patted her tail and said, "Dad is really bad at chess! I still have to let him!"
On the other side, Hao Ren, who had already gone out, of course didn't know what his precious fish girl was talking about. He drove his own car, Big Dipper, and went straight to the city. In a hurry, he arrived at the place where Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi worked when they were living as ordinary people.
Shopping mall. He still remembered the store where Zhao Xi sold mobile phones, but the facially paralyzed huntress could not be seen behind the counter.
"Are you looking for Zhao Xi?" Another clerk at the mobile phone counter was a little surprised when he heard Hao Ren's purpose. The young girl with many freckles on her nose couldn't help but look at Hao Ren a few more times. She probably didn't expect that she was usually taciturn.
Zhao Xi, who has few friends, actually has an acquaintance. "She hasn't been here for several days. She asked for a long leave from the boss."
"Took a long leave? When did it happen?" Hao Ren's heart moved. The news that "the demon hunter disappeared" seemed to be being confirmed. "Did you say when she would come back? Where did she go?"
"A week ago, I don't know where she went," the freckled girl said, looking Hao Ren up and down with suspicious eyes, and her tone was a little more wary, "Who are you? Are you looking for something to do with her?"
Hao Ren noticed that the other party was already wary of him, a stranger who suddenly came to ask questions, so he smiled: "I am her friend. I have come here to look for her several times before, but the last few times you
This girl has seen me even though I’m not around.”
"Oh, I've seen you before. You've been here several times." Another clerk recognized Hao Ren, "But we really don't know where Zhao Xi went. She doesn't usually talk to people, and she didn't say anything
Matters at home."
"Hmm..." Hao Ren touched his chin, "Do you know there is a manager named Yagyu on this floor?"
"Manager Liu? He hasn't been here for a few days. It's said that he had something to do at home, so he took a long leave," the freckled girl from before said, "It's almost like he took a leave with Zhao Xi."
Hao Ren understood this and nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand. Thank you very much."
After leaving the place where Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi worked, Hao Ren took a breath and was sure of one thing: at least in this city, the demon hunters responsible for garrisoning had left.
But it doesn't "disappear into thin air".
"The two of them left after asking for leave, which shows that they did not leave in a hurry, and they also made plans to come back. Everything was planned. It sounded more like they left calmly after receiving the transfer from their superiors," Hao
Ren analyzed, "But I don't know if the demon hunters in other places are the same."
"Go away" listened to Hao Ren's analysis and stretched out: "So it's delicious?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, looked around him, and then realized that the only one who could listen to his analysis was this cat, so he slapped his face: "...How the hell did I want to bring you out."
"Because this cat is so cute and adorable. So it tastes good, right?"
