004 The Witcher
Masha could not feel the braking and landing of the flying carpet.
But through the "window", he knew that the flying carpet had landed on the shoulder of a wide road.
The road was empty, with no pedestrians or cars.
The rain poured down on the hard concrete floor, but the sound couldn't reach the flying carpet.
Marsha saw the police detective on a broom landing next to the flying carpet.
Apparently he had used a rain charm - even though the rain was pouring down his hat like a flood, his clothes were so clean that there was not a single stain in sight.
He stood in the heavy rain, his eyes clearly looking at someone outside of Marsha's field of vision, his expression unusually serious.
His broom stood up behind him, like a soldier, in the rain.
Masha was wondering what this guy was staring at so seriously, when a figure appeared in front of Masha in the flying carpet.
At first, it is a silhouette, then the silhouette is filled with color, and it quickly transitions from 2D to 3D, and in less than two seconds the figure becomes a living person.
The man had a gloomy face, a hooked nose that didn't feel like a Chinese, and he obviously didn't care about the maintenance of the skin on his face, and his whole face was pitted, reminiscent of the road surface in an urban village that had not been repaired for many years.
That's right, it's the kind of road in an urban village where when it rains, it turns into puddles of water and goes to work in the rain like trekking in a swamp.
The stranger took off his hat, and the light inside the flying carpet finally illuminated his forehead and eye sockets.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the bags under his eyes were large and black, which made his already gloomy face even colder.
"Demon Hunter 571891, my surname is Chen, you can call me Captain Chen. Miss Du Meilan, and ...... Young Master Ma Sha, Little Marquis, right? β
Du Meilan was the first to speak: "It's us. β
The visitor unceremoniously sat down on the sofa opposite Ma Sha and Du Meilan, and crossed Erlang's legs.
"It's so late, it's raining so heavily, what are you two doing outside?" He asked calmly as he pulled a cigarette case and lighter out of his jacket pocket.
"A ride in the rain." Masha felt that he couldn't leave all the responses to Du Meilan, it didn't seem natural, and he should pick some parts that didn't have any problems to answer.
He almost wanted to say that he was swimming in the rain, but he temporarily changed it to a rideβa ride is more secure, and the devil knows if there is such a thing as a river in the world.
"It's romantic." The stranger smiled slightly, but the smile sent a chill down the back of Marsha's head.
"I'm guessing you guys also had a close encounter with the heavy rain." As he said this, he looked at Marsha's wet shirt.
Du Meilan had just used a spell to get most of the water away, but her clothes weren't completely dry.
At this time, Ma Sha suddenly recalled that he was caught by the old fox of the human resources department and called him to talk.
But this time the pressure is much more than that time, I was caught by the human resources department, and at most I lost my job, and if this thing in front of me found out Marsha's little secret, it would be my life.
He forcibly calmed down and replied, "I like the rain. β
It's true.
Since he was a child, Masha liked to sit on the windowsill when it rained, and put his feet on the iron frame of the air conditioner outside the window, letting the rain wash his feet.
According to the available intelligence, Marsha in this world should have a similar hobby.
That's why he said so.
"So it's normal to get a little rain." Masha spread his hands, "I don't know how to explain this feeling to you, it's just ......"
"You don't have to explain." A gloomy face interrupted Marsha's words, "I understand. I also like to listen to the rain when it's raining, and occasionally I have the urge to run in the rain, I know. β
A gloomy face stared at Marsha, and that expression seemed to say, "I have seen through everything a long time ago."
There was a silent pressure on him.
"Horse ...... Little Marquis, or call you Little Pony Marquis? Do you have any explanation for your father calling the police and saying that he has not been able to contact you for two days in a row, and that he could not find you when he went to your apartment? β
Masha spread his hands: "There's nothing to explain, it's just that I just think my dad is annoying." β
- That's right, it's normal for children at this age to feel annoyed by their parents, and it's normal not to want to talk to their parents!
The stranger stared at Masha for a few seconds, then said in a hoarse voice, "Rebellion, uh-huh." β
Masha hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the rebellious period." β
He was actually panicking, because the thing in front of him kept showing a look of "I know everything".
He was afraid that he would be tricked or find a logical loophole.
At this time, the witcher said, "My daughter too, is in the rebellious period. β
As he spoke, he raised his hand, his index finger drawing circles near his temple.
"A period of complete and complete rebellion.
"Occasionally, when I don't have official duties, I finally come home early, and she will look at me with disgust for looking at garbage. My wife will at least say a few things in a weird way, such as 'I always give me flattery when I deliver couriers, because people think I'm a widow'.
"But my daughter doesn't even want to talk to me, a father.
"I often think that if I could spend less time at home with my wife and children, maybe it wouldn't be like this."
The witcher stopped, his bloodshot eyes staring at Masha as if he had just asked a question and was waiting for Masha to answer.
Although what he just said was all declarative sentences.
"It's a pity, if this is not true, do you know why?" The witcher leaned forward, staring back and forth at Masha and Dumelan, "Because I'm very, very good at hunting demons. β
He sniffled, which caused Marsha's attention to focus once again on his hooked nose, which resembled a foreigner.
"It's no exaggeration," the witcher slowed down, his voice low and hoarse, "I can smell the evil ways. I can tell by the taste, this is Faraday, this is Frankenstein, this is Darwin, oh, and this, this smell of iron filings rubbed off the perforated iron sheets, it's Babbage! β
The witcher spoke eloquently, unhurriedly, but there was a morbid way in his words.
- Ah, this man has gone mad.
Marsha thought.
"You must have been thinking, 'This person has gone mad, hasn't he?' β
The moment these words entered his ears, Masha chuckled in his heart, and the muscles on his face froze completely for a moment.
The witcher smiled silently.
At this time, Masha finally understood what it meant to have a heart and a throat.
However, the witcher did not shout "You can't fool me" as Masha expected.
He slowed his tone a little and said:
"Don't worry, I don't know how to think stealing spells. Actually, this uses some of the techniques of the Freudian school, those demons, and some of the things are quite useful. β
At this time, Du Meilan, who had been silent, asked, "Is it okay to use the techniques of the scientific school so casually?" β
"What do you mean by that? When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you. To be a good hunter, you have to understand what your enemies are thinking, and to understand what your enemies are thinking, you have to know them. β
With that, the witcher turned his gaze back to Marsha.
"We are investigating an indiscriminate homicide case, and many people have been killed, all young men who are about the same age as you, Little Marquis. Little Hou Ye, are you really just unwilling to answer your father's call? You didn't live in an apartment these two days, where did you stay? β
Du Meilan: "My family." β
"Oh, of course, it makes sense to live in my fiancΓ©e's house." The witcher turned his head to look out the window with lightning and thunder, "We have been tracking a demon of the Frankenstein School for the past few months, and this weather is very suitable for the Frankenstein School to hold their forbidden rituals. β
Marsha's heart almost stopped.
The witcher stared straight at Marsha's face.
"At first, I thought you were a 'bell tower freak,' you know what I mean? It's the kind of thing that is stitched together from a corpse and brought to life by lightning.
"However, the conversation I just had with you made me dismiss the idea. I've seen a lot of Frankenstein freaks, and I can recognize them at once. You're completely different from them, you're just like a real human being. β
The witcher paused, "So, tell me, what the hell are you?" β
"I am a human being, a son of a horse standing on his own." Masha replied stiffly.
He felt his heart pounding, as if a hammer was smashing into his chest.
The witcher pursed his lips and didn't speak, staring at Masha with bloodshot eyes.
Masha made a heart: "You can pull me over and check casually." β
The witcher laughed, "I can't check it out." If it had been so easy to find out, we would have wiped out the Frankenstein School and their androids. β
- Wait, didn't you just say you could smell it?
"It's because it's so hard to find these demonic ways lurking among humans that I've been able to rise so quickly." Captain Chen, the witcher, pointed to his nose, "Because I can smell them." β
With that, he leaned his nose closer to Masha and inhaled hard.
The distance was so close that Masha always felt that the thunderous heartbeat alone could betray him completely.
But the witchers pulled away.
He got up from his chair and straightened his clothes: "Thank you two for your cooperation, it's better for you to go home early, it's not been peaceful these days, just like I just said, several high school students who are about the same age as you have died." I'll have my men escort you home. Is the little marquis going to go back to Mafu, or to his apartment? β
Marsha thought for a moment and decided to go back to the apartment.
If you go home and be found out that you can't use magic, it's safer to go back to the apartment and stay alone.
"I'll go back to my apartment."
"Yes, I would suggest that Ma Hou Ye send some more family members to Xiao Hou Ye's apartment."
With that, the figure of the witcher disappeared.
Masha let out a long sigh.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Du Meilan had done the same, and then leaned back on the couch.
"You must immediately recall how to operate your Horcruxes." "Otherwise, it's bad, it's really bad." β
