"These monsters are getting closer and closer to humans in form."
The body has gradually expanded, from a flat girl to a slender figure with slender thighs, the perfect figure among humanoid creatures. Looking at the monster map in front of her, from large to small, the shape is getting closer and closer to human form.
, these maps are marked with time, frowning and thinking, "What changes have happened in the world?"
"Okay, Carol, this is not a question that we hunters should think about. This is something that scholars who study monsters should think about." Looking at Carol who was thinking, a burly man wearing heavy armor appeared.
Han said nonchalantly.
"Rhoda, you are full of brains and muscles, and you want others to be as unthinking as you are?" Another young man in a black dress sneered, scorning the behavior of his colleagues.
"Hmph, I just think we should do what we should do. As exorcists, we only need to focus on how to expel those evil spirits and monsters. Thinking about the origin of monsters can be left to professionals."
The strong man who didn't take off his armor even when he was resting said in a sullen voice. He looked honest and honest, but the evil aura in him that could stop a child from crying could not be concealed.
"Professionals? In terms of understanding monsters, who else can be more professional than us exorcists who face monsters directly?"
"That's true." The heavy-armored man scratched his hair and seemed to have come to his senses.
"The origin of monsters is indeed very strange. According to records in the classics, these monsters suddenly appeared in our world more than 120 years ago without any warning.
However, due to the ensuing tragedies and sighting reports, we can confirm that the number and types of monsters have grown rapidly over the past hundred years, and their forms are constantly changing.
Recently, the monsters we expelled and purified have become entities. When fighting them, we can actually kill them, and when we kill them, there will be material residues. This is something that has never happened before."
"These monsters are always changing. Needless to say, we have all noticed that when the monsters first appeared, only those with special talents could see monsters and become exorcists. But now, any ordinary person can
You can all see them now, and such changes have already explained a lot of problems."
"These monsters are very strange. They are not like our world at all. They are like alien species. They have spent hundreds of years slowly integrating into our world and adapting to the ecological environment of our world."
"Alien species, adapt to the environment?" The slender Carol raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Although her face looked particularly young among the great exorcists, her aura was not inferior to that of the exorcists.
These are exorcists who have gone beyond the limits of mortals.
On her face, which seemed a bit unreal compared to ordinary people, her pair of strange pupils were particularly conspicuous. Her left eye looked just like ordinary people, with an ordinary brown-black pupil.
But her right eye has a pale golden vertical pupil like a dragon and snake. It is this vertical pupil that gives her a majesty and aura that no one dares to look at.
"It's very vivid, isn't it? But these alien species are so powerful and vicious that we humans have to compete with them for the position of being the top predator in the food chain." The exorcist in a suit and leather jacket laughed.
"Your metaphor treats us humans as beasts."
"It's just a metaphor. The basic principle is still the same. Once we humans can invent the steam cannon, there will no longer be monsters that can compete with us humans, and there will be no creature that can make us humans retreat."
"But there is no evidence to support your conjecture about the alien monster."
"I have no evidence to prove it, but it doesn't matter at all. I don't care what these monsters will become. I just need to ensure that I am always in the position of a hunter when facing these monsters." It seems that it is enough. A gentle exorcist who speaks standard reckless words.
After a meaningless argument, Carol left the Exorcist Association, which had become a landmark building in the local city, and walked towards her home.
Although it has only been three short years, the world has undergone great changes. The most obvious point is that the gathering place of exorcists no longer needs to be secretive, but stands openly and openly in the most conspicuous place in the city. Location.
This is also due to the increasingly frequent incidents of evil spirits hurting people in the world. Evil spirits are no longer monsters that can only be seen by people with special talents. When evil spirits appear in the darkness, even ordinary people can Can see.
Therefore, in this environment that is known to the whole world, in order to avoid causing greater panic and leading to the collapse of order, hiding in the darkness, the exorcists who protect human beings have come to the light to comfort those who face evil spirits. Ordinary people with no ability to protect themselves.
So, when Carol, whose body had obvious inhuman features, was walking on the street, pedestrians on both sides of the road cast their eyes in awe and admiration.
In the face of this kind of gaze, Carol, who had already adapted to it, accepted it calmly and looked around as if she was looking for something. Faced with this somewhat abnormal behavior, the passers-by around her regarded it as normal and even took the initiative to look at her. Get together in front of you.
That dreamlike adventure three years ago made her the top exorcist in the city and even the region, and she also became a household name.
That unknown mysterious existence gave her her current power that time and transformed one of her eyes into an inhuman structure at a so-called price. But since that time, that existence has never been with her again. Communicated.
The so-called paying a price is more like giving her some kind of benefit, giving her a special vision that can surpass ordinary people, and this is her current symbol.
Bang!
The sound of the heavy metal door closing sounded, and Carol returned to her residence. Her rich experiences gave her a mature thinking, making her no longer a little girl driven by hatred, but a responsible person. A responsible exorcist.
"Why do those monsters appear in the world, and why do they keep changing? Are they really an invasion of special alien species?"
"I don't think it's appropriate to use simple species invasion to describe the process of mutual integration, competition and plunder between species in the two worlds." A leisurely and distant voice with a hint of relief sounded in the girl's heart.
"Who?" The voice that suddenly came to mind caused flames to rush out of the girl's body and linger on her body surface.
"Can't remember? You shouldn't be my partner. It's impossible for you to forget in such a short time."
"You are..." With the familiar voice and the familiar pressure, Carol felt the great will descending on her. The shock and panic in her eyes dissipated. She opened her mouth to say something, but she found that she was not able to say anything at all.
She didn't know how to call this person who changed her destiny.
"Yes, that's right, it's me." After realizing that the now mature girl understood who he was, the great will that came over expressed his approval.
"What do you need me to do for you?" Carol asked very directly without too much probing. She had been preparing for this day for a long time, and she had already thought about what to say. After all, her efforts at that time were too great.
Too tiny.
"I don't need you to do anything for me. Your strength can't help me, but it does have the possibility of saving or preserving your own civilization."
"What do you mean?"
"Since the last time, I no longer intend to interfere in your life. No matter what you do with the power I gave you, I won't care. It should be like this, but an accident happened."
"Yeah." Hearing this loud and distant voice, Carol nodded calmly, looking like a cold goddess.
Such a gesture made Muria slightly silent. Who the hell is the god? Shouldn't he be the one who shows off his high posture? He explained for a long time, but in the end, they only responded to him with one word.
"Then what?" Carol asked, seemingly aware of Muria's silence.
"You have noticed the changes in the world. The root cause of this change is that your world is interacting and merging with another world."
Muria did not beat around the bush with this girl. He was not the kind of pseudo-god who was secretive, pretending to be inscrutable, and needed to torment his own believers to gather faith. He was an existence that was even higher than the true god.
"The world is merging with another world?" Iceberg Sister Carol's face suddenly showed a look of shock. Such news impacted her outlook and was far beyond her tolerance.
"Yes, it is precisely because of the integration of a different world with a completely different ecology into your world that it causes all the weird and bizarre phenomena you see now."
“Where does this end up?”
"The mass extinction of species! Whether it is your world or the world of evil spirits, more than 99% of species will become extinct. Only the most adaptable species will survive in the new world after the integration is completed, and eventually evolve into a brand new world in the new world.
Species."
"How can we stop it?" Carol asked with a blue face.
"This is the natural evolution of the void, it is unstoppable, and that's not why I came to you." Muria's tone seemed unusually indifferent at this time. He would not interfere with the natural evolution. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, no matter what
These are the basic rules in any world.
"Then why did you come to me?" Carol clenched her fists. She did not pray to this powerful existence of unknown origin because she simply did not have the capital to pray.
"The most adaptable people in the world today are you humans. There will definitely be humans in the new world in the future, but now there is a crisis that is enough to exterminate you humans, and it is approaching. I am here to remind you!"
