Chapter 7 Visits
The Dry Slaughter Mountain, located in the Didona region of the Republic of Batochia, is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by a sea of trees, and can only be seen faintly from a distance.
This is where the world's top killer family, the "Enemy Killer Family", lives, and the entire mountain range is their territory. It is also the only killer family in the world that dares to exist publicly, even allowing local residents or visitors from outside to visit their gates by bus.
Of course, they are strong enough to ignore any trouble. Since the establishment of the family, there has not been a single incident of successful invasion, and those failed invaders have long since turned into bones.
Lucy sat on a sightseeing bus and whispered to a good-looking, red-haired girl beside him. The bus is not in a hurry to move towards the destination, the tour guide lady holds a mini microphone in her hand to introduce the passengers on the bus to the dry mountain and the deeds of beating the enemy family on it, the original passengers of the fear of this assassination family slowly dissipated under the tour guide's explanation, and even some people had the courage to take pictures outside the window.
"Lucy, what are we going to do to beat the enemy Hakka this time?" The red-haired girl asked puzzled, she was chasing a serial murderer in Batocia, and she was about to lock down the prisoner's whereabouts, but she was called here by a phone call from Lucy.
"Ah, it's just a visit between friends." A faint smile appeared on Lucy's face, and he could see that he was in a good mood: "Do you remember the killer you met in the previous mission, he happened to be the second son of the Hakka family, and he invited me to their house when he knew that I was here." ”
"You mean that little fat man," the girl suddenly realized, and then wondered, "But he is so weak, if you hadn't made a move, he would have been killed by a cold shot." How can this kind of rookie be the one who beats the enemy Hakka? ”
Lucy shrugged: "After all, he is a tech nerd, playing with computers to make bombs is his forte, and it is a bit reluctant to go into battle in person." Originally, he made a bomb to attract the attention of the family before his brother was born, which is understandable, but unfortunately since it was found that his third brother's qualifications were the most outstanding in the history of the family, his parents and elders no longer paid attention to him, and no one would cheer for him even if he made a new bomb. ”
"Poor Mi Ji~" The young man said with a smile: "No one even asked if he almost died on his first mission, although he was secretly protected by a servant at home, but he didn't know, he must have felt that he was abandoned by his family." ”
The red-haired girl let out a "huh", and said in hindsight: "It turns out that someone is protecting, so even if you don't make a move at that time, he won't die." ”
"Well, it's a good old woman," Lucy recalled, "and she probably thought I was going to hurt her little master, but she almost couldn't help but do something to me, and it was at that moment that I sensed the killing intent that I found her." ”
"That's the case, I didn't even notice it at the time, and I deserved to be a killer who beat the enemy Hakka." The red-haired girl nodded at first, and then looked at Lucy with a smile: "Then can you tell me why you went to all the trouble to get close to that little fat man?" I don't believe it could have been such a coincidence, but it happened to us at the time of his assassination. ”
"At that time, the prey was just a wanted criminal who didn't even know about it, and I don't think such scum would make you make a special trip."
"And...... And you can find out so much about him, even on the hunter website, they have very little information. ”
Lucy said helplessly, "Karina, it would be nice if you could be less curious." ”
"This time, it's really just a visit between friends." He leaned back and said lazily: "I've spent a lot of time keeping in touch with Mi Ji in the past two years, although some of his works make me very impressed, but unfortunately the brain circuit of this guy really can't correspond to the same channel." ”
"Fortunately, after two years of emotional cultivation, I got this opportunity. I have to thank his third brother for attracting most of the family's attention and saving me a lot of things. ”
At this moment, with a few rapid whistles, the bus slowly stopped in front of a huge bronze gate as tall as a city wall. The tour guide got out of the car excitedly: "Okay, this is the end of this time, the main gate of beating the enemy Hakka!" ”
"Because everyone who enters from here has no entry or exit, it is also called the Gate of Yellow Springs!"
A group of tourists scattered in twos and threes, looking up at the gate in front of them, which was dozens of meters high, and it was almost not man-made, and finally regained their fear of beating the enemy family.
It wasn't until all the tourists on the bus got off the bus that Lucy got up from his seat, straightened his clothes, and extended his hand to Karina.
"What is this for?"
Looking at Lucy's straight eyes, Karina was a little overwhelmed.
"In order to be able to bring you, I told Mi Ji that I would bring my girlfriend to his house as a guest." Lucy looked at the guard room next to the Gate of Yellow Springs from afar in the car, and said with a hint of a smile: "So, from now on, you will be my girlfriend - until you leave here." ”
Karina's original prickly expression suddenly disappeared, and she stammered a little, "From now on?" ”
Seeing this, Lucy couldn't help but smile, took the initiative to take Karina's hand, and led the stiff girl off the bus:
"I'm also a bounty hunter, please be professional, otherwise you'll be exposed."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before he became a professional hunter, he had already worked for the Hakka who beat enemies, and his duties were similar to those of a cleaner - anyone who did not enter through the gate of the Yellow Springs and tried to invade through the side door became a meal for the monsters behind the door.
All he had to do was clean the bones of those who didn't do what he could do.
Today, as usual, he sat on a chair with a cup of hot tea in his hands and closed his eyes, ignoring the tourists not far away.
In the past, there were often people who came for bounties without knowing the height of the sky, but as more and more people died at the Gate of Yellow Springs, gradually those who were blinded by greed also came to their senses, regarded this place as a forbidden place, and even took his work into leisure.
It's just that there is no flesh and blood of outsiders, and every day I have to personally feed the demonic beast behind the door, calculate the time, and drink this cup of tea, it's almost time to feed it lunch.
Ji Burong thought in his heart, and then he saw a pair of young men and girls walking towards him.
"Uncle, please inform the housekeeper's room, and say that Miji's friend is coming to visit him."
The dark-haired boy with a gentle smile on his face said to him.
Even though he had been guarding the area for almost a decade, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He subconsciously used [condensation] to observe the two of them, no matter how they looked, they were just ordinary people.
"Young Master Miji's ...... Friends? ”
After introducing the two of them into the guard's room, he poured two cups of hot tea for the two of them, and said with some distress: "I am glad that you have come here on purpose, you are the first to visit as friends, but it is impossible for you to enter. ”
"Although one of my subordinates may be punished for saying this, the housekeeper is very protective of outsiders, and she will not let you in. Even if you can talk to Young Master Miji, she will refuse you on the grounds of voice forgery. ”
"If you want to enter from here, there is only one way, and that is to push open the gate of the Yellow Springs, so that you will not be attacked by the demonic beasts inside. If you enter through the side door, the monsters inside will leave all the bones you eat. ”
"But the smallest door alone weighs two tons on each side, to be honest, I don't think you can do such a thing......" Ji Burong said with some embarrassment, in his opinion, the two of them were just ordinary people, although he didn't know how they knew Young Master Miji, let's believe in the possibility of this matter. But those who can't open the gate of Yellow Springs will either enter through the side door and be eaten by the demonic beasts, or they can only return with their feathers in their hands.
In his heart, he didn't want this pair of young people to die, especially since they might also be friends with Young Master Miji.
"Two tons...... It's horrible. The black-haired boy took a sip of tea, unaffected by the half-admonishing and half-threatening words of Ji Burong, and put the teacup on the table: "Thank you for your hospitality, then we will enter through the side door." ”
Seeing that the two of them turned around and walked towards the side door, Ji Burong just wanted to dissuade him, but he was surprised to find that the key on his body appeared in the young man's hand at some point.
"When?" The janitor was stunned, and a moment later, he heard a scream from the demonic beast that had been fed day and night for five years.
