Chapter 63: The Demon Hunter Family
The bones are already connected, but they won't be in good shape right away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Jia Huan won't do this, everything has to have a process, just like he did to Elizabeth. It's not that he can't do it, it's that he doesn't want to do it overnight. Now at least women can limp around.
"My brother-" Seeing that Jia Huan had picked up her legs, she was about to leave, and the woman involuntarily said to Jia Huan, "Please, in this world, I only have such a relative." ”
Jia Huan really stopped, looked at the woman and said, "Let's make a deal." ”
"You say, if I can do it, I promise I will—" The woman agreed without hesitation, glancing at her brother, who had turned into an ice sculpture. Her own hands no longer felt paralyzed. It was probably the golden rune that flashed in the air that played a role.
"Tell me what you know, including your identity. Jia Huan said very seriously.
It's as simple as that?
The woman was taken aback, looked at Jia Huan in disbelief, nodded, she was really afraid that Jia Huan would suddenly regret it, and said, "Of course, I agree, I will tell you everything I know." ”
The woman's name is Lily Steven, and she is brother and sister to Hill Steven. Their families immigrated back to the colonial era of the Americas. They have been living in Virginia, and they have been working as witchers while in England. In this reckless America, this profession is very popular. Their family grew from strength to strength.
But...... With the development of the times, the progress of wars, the emergence of the industrial age, the family was divided, and a considerable number of people were not interested in the poor and dangerous profession of demon hunting. To this day, the only thing that can be inherited is the father of the two siblings. However, his father died during a demon hunt, so it was the turn of the two of them.
"Why did you track down Lamia?" Jia Huan asked the most critical question, he flew the sword three times, and he could only injure this monster, this is an incredible thing, in such a long time, this is the first time he has encountered it.
"Because Lamia has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it needs to evolve continuously, and every evolution will be accompanied by some strange phenomena. "The reason we were able to track this here was because of a vision from Harold's side. ”
"What vision?" Jia Huan couldn't help but be stunned, if the vision was obvious, why didn't he feel it?
"There have been zombies here, right?" the woman looked at Jia Huan, "This kind of thing can't be hidden, even if there is no official media report, but it is impossible to completely block the news." ”
Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head and said, "Yes, this kind of thing is not something that the FBI can block. So...... That's why you're here?"
"yes, and that fish, you know, that giant catfish, you killed? I guess so. The woman continued to smile self-deprecatingly and said, "If this is not a vision, then what is a vision......? Just as we arrived in Laredo, my brother noticed a strange phenomenon. It seems that there are other interesting species here. ”
Interesting species?Jia Huan couldn't help laughing. The world is indeed full of surprises.
"Werewolves, vampires, I didn't expect to encounter such magical things one after another in this place in Texas, which also made us very interested. The woman continued, "And the zombie thing is not so simple. We suspect it might have something to do with Riz Wood. It's just that this person seems to have disappeared, and we can't find any information. ”
The woman seemed to have said a lot of things, but there was nothing Jia Huan needed, he didn't eat this, so he said quietly: "I just want to know, how do you know that he is Lamia?"
"Because of a patch of dead trees and grass in the woods. The woman said, "Only Lamia's blood is so poisonous." What we saw at the lake. At that time, I wondered, who could have hurt a Lamia who had evolved into a half-human, half-snake woman? Now I know that there are no other people in this world than you...... Maybe there really isn't anyone else. ”
Jia Huan couldn't help but nodded. He remembered the first time he wounded Lamia, the blood he spilled had caused the trees and grass to die. It turned out to be this one who made them aware of the existence of Lamia.
And ...... Lamia needs to evolve constantly, she must find werewolves and aliens, and only by eating them can it evolve quickly, and finally become humanoid, and it will become more powerful......," the woman continued, "And our demon hunting family's greatest ability is to be able to identify those aliens in the crowd. ”
That's easy to explain. Jia Huan nodded and said, "I always knew that there were witchers in the United States. I admire these kinds of people. What do you rely on to defeat monsters like Lamia......? It's not easy to beat it. ”
"It's a family secret. Do you need to say this?" the woman looked at Jia Huan.
Jia Huan thought about it, then shook his head: "No need." ”
As he spoke, he walked up to the ice sculpture of Hill Steven, closed his eyes slightly, flipped his palm, and suddenly a fire jumped up in his hand, and this fire suddenly flew out as if it had life, enveloping Hill Steven's whole body.
Suddenly, the ice sculpture of Hill Steven's body seemed to have disappeared. It's just that the whole person fell to the ground softly and didn't move.
This made the woman a little worried, limped over, squatted down reluctantly, and looked at Hill Steven, although he did not wake up, but his breathing was very gentle, which showed that he was not in danger of life. I couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Uh...... One last question. Why does it look like your brother is older than you? How old are you? Okay...... If this question is attached, you can answer it, and of course, you can also decline it. Jia Huan smiled at her and spread out his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"Because the men of our family...... They all seem very old-fashioned, their education and the way they dress make them look old-fashioned, in fact, they are also very old-fashioned people...... My father was the same. The woman said, looking down at Hill Steven on the ground, "and...... They like it too. ”
As she spoke, she gently reached out and stroked Ciel Steven's forehead. Looking at his face, he was a little dazed.
When he looked up, he found that the surroundings were empty, and Jia Huan didn't know when it was gone. Only the wind blew from the woods, making her mind more and more sober.
I didn't know how long I thought about it, and suddenly a faint voice came from my side: "Lily-thank you." Did you save me?"
As soon as the woman turned her head, she saw Hill Steven sitting on the ground.
"Yes, it's me. It was Mr. Jia who really saved you. The woman walked over, squatted down, stretched out her hand, gently touched Hill Steven's face, shook her head, and said, "But...... I hope you'll come with me to Harold, not for anything but to say sorry to Elizabeth. ”
"Do you have to do this?" said Hill Steven as he looked at the woman.
"Yes, you have to do it, not for anything else, so that you don't hurt a girl's heart, and so that you don't think you're a complete asshole. You know? Especially don't let Mr. Jia think you're a jerk. The woman's expression was a little serious, and she said, "Tomorrow, we'll go to Harold Town." ”
"Did Mr. Jia really save me?" Hill Steven looked at her face that became a little displeased, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay...... I know. As he spoke, he tried to stand up, but as soon as he stood still, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. But he was held up by a woman.
"We need to get out of here. The woman looked at the mess all over the ground, "I guess tomorrow morning, the police will find out about the situation here, let's go, get out of this damn place!"
Hill Steven's car was parked in the woods not far away. The two found it, driven by a woman, barely able to get the car moving, and disappeared into the darkest hours before dawn.
All the people left. All that was left here was ruins and cold moonlight.
