Chapter 452: Hunter

They didn't walk for a long time.

Perhaps it may also be that the area church is so small and dilapidated that people just walk out of the entrance of the small room on the side to the so-called central auditorium.

It's the auditorium, but it's just another slightly larger room.

"Please sit down."

A nun named Selena ushered the group into the room, and when they entered, there were already a few people seated at the long table in the center, which looked to be some years old.

Four men and two women, all dressed as standard faculty members. Seeing them walk in, a man dressed as a priest sitting in the main seat stood up and greeted them with a warm smile on his face.

"Welcome, guests from afar! Very few people pass through this place for supplies, and we don't have anything too much to offer here, so I hope you won't mind the food being rudimentary. ”

"Hello."

In the middle of the night, in the execution officer's team, the man who seemed to have a little relationship with Song Shuang before took the initiative to stand up, and faintly had a tendency to put himself in the leading position of this group of people.

"Heh, I still like to be in the limelight." Suddenly, Ya stood next to Qiu Xuan and sneered in a low voice. The latter turned his head and said strangely, "You know each other?" ”

"It's not like we know each other, but we met in the guild war before." Ya shrugged, "Just him, and the previous Song Shuang, the two of them are from the same guild, and they are both from Blue River. Blue River is a pheasant guild, if it weren't for the new president who has come to power in recent years and has some ability, they are not qualified to fight with us at all. ”

"As for the man, his name is Bai Yi, and he is a big horn who likes to chirp everywhere." It seems that there is indeed a certain contradiction between the Blue River Guild and Ya, from just now to now, Ya has not had a good word in his evaluation of those two.

"Bai is also the vice president of Blue River, and he doesn't have any skills...... Okay, maybe it's a little, but I don't see it anyway. Last time, Blue River relied on our president to test and was not in the guild, so he had the courage to come to the door and grab the territory with us. But later, he was beaten and went back to the ground, and Bai Yi took advantage of that time to kill the injured former vice president of Blue River and take the throne himself. In short, it's a scheming piece of garbage with no ability and no heart, so I advise you not to have too much contact with them. ”

"That's right."

The man named Bai Yi spoke to the priest on the main seat in a decent manner, and then the group sat down, and the nun named Selena brought the last plate of thick soup and sat down in order.

I don't know if it's Qiu Xuan's illusion, she always feels that Selena is a little absent-minded and flustered.

Qiu Xuan's gaze temporarily withdrew from Selena, and her gaze swept around the crowd at the table a few times. She didn't see the aboriginal madman named Webb here, as if it was just an ordinary and humble local church, except for Selena's name, which was a little more special.

At the dinner table, the executioner man named Bai Yi began to quietly speak from the priest in the main seat through his previous words. Gradually, according to the information pieced together bit by bit, they knew that the identity of their group was hunters from the city, and this time they were going to City B near the sea to find and capture a psychopath who had gone crazy and killed his parents.

This local church is a supply depot for hunters, who will choose to pass through each local church for food or water supply during long-distance missions.

And when it comes to "hunters", we have to mention a series of systems and regulations in this world.

Hunter is a very common profession in this world, and basically as long as you pass the exam and identity check, you can obtain the hunter qualification certificate issued by the Central Church. After becoming a hunter, he can earn a salary and a promotion by capturing "marginalized people who threaten the safety of society" and providing them to the church.

- Like the man who was the first to call Qiu Xuan a "witch" and pour holy water on her at the "Dawn Star" bar earlier, he is a hunter in the service of the church.

In some ways, this profession is like a type of policeman, and if you take a more vivid example, it is probably a type of "bounty hunter".

In the beginning, the world's first "hunters" began with bounty hunters, and at that time, the Central Church had replaced the national government as the first instrument to rule and control the world. However, not all people are believers, and there are still a considerable number of people in this world who have no faith and no bottom line, and they live according to their own thoughts and thoughts recklessly, completely ignoring that their actions will cause certain harm to others.

In the beginning, the central church adopted the method of probation education, and they set up weekly prayers or pulpits in various branch churches in urban areas to preach the sacred scriptures, in an attempt to turn the marginalized people of society back to the arms of God the Father.

Obviously, their correctional education has failed.

And it failed completely, probably because the priests of that era were not very eloquent, so the preaching was boring and boring, and the people below were sleeping, or it could be some other external factors. All in all, the Central Church soon realized that it was impractical to try to restrain the evil thoughts in the hearts of the world by simply relying on "faith."

The Senate has been in session for more than half a year, and the plan and veto plan have been scheduled from then to next year.

The elders of the left and right factions quarreled with each other and almost pulled their beards and scuffled directly under the idols, and finally one day, after accidentally rescuing an independent bounty hunter who had been seriously injured on a mission, at a local church, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The bounty hunter is a lone wolf, and this time on a mission to kill a "brute vampire who dares to kidnap his beautiful daughter on a dog day" at the behest of a squire. As a result, the bounty hunter finally arrived at the vampire's lair after a lot of hardship, and found the squire's beautiful daughter cooking in the kitchen, and when he learned of his intention, he rolled his eyes, called the vampire who was sleeping in the coffin, and beat the hunter.

The bounty hunter was beaten half to death and crawled to a church at the foot of the hill in his last place. However, before he could recover from his wounds, a few days later several elders of the Central Church came to this remote place in person, and asked the hunters to call all his accomplices and say that they would send them a mission in the name of the Central Church.

Although it was a lone wolf, after all, at that time, the Central Church was equivalent to the existence of the emperor of the country. The bounty hunter didn't dare to confront the church openly, so he fearfully took out all the other hunters he knew or had only heard of a little name, and accepted the task assigned by the church with the mentality that he could pull the next one by one.

I don't know if it was because the last vampire mission left a deep psychological shadow on the hunter, or because it was purely due to pressure from the Central Church, but a month later, the bounty hunter and a few of his colleagues managed to capture several notorious robbers and bring them back to the church.

And it was then that the term "bounty hunter" ceased to symbolize the intrinsic title of the desperate outlaws, but became a profession in the true sense of the word, and a "civil servant" who fed the public food of the Central Church.

The profession, known as the "hunter", has evolved from just the original bounty hunters to a complete set of industries with a professional work system. Qiandu Chinese Network

Since there has been more such a profession as "hunters" in the world, it has become clear that the level of security in society has risen by more than one percent.

People no longer worry about a stranger who looks perfectly normal and suddenly change his face and stab you in the moment he passes by, or worry about the werewolf mutant monster that breaks into the door at midnight and can't sleep every night, it seems that everything is going in a good direction.

But is that really the case?

Qiu Xuan recalls the first night she came to this world, in the bar called the Dawn Star, and under the darkness of the night, you couldn't even tell whether the person sitting in the booth across from you was a human or a potential mental patient.

Even though the traces of hunters are all over the city, in the shadows of the city, there are still countless sins that sprout.

Is it the existence of hunters that makes there less "evil", or is the existence of hunters nourishing more "evil"?

No one can tell.

"You can spend the night here, because the sea was closed an hour ago." At this moment, in the auditorium where they suddenly appeared in this place, who still didn't know what it was, the priest sitting on the throne said to Bai Yi.

"You're going on a mission to City B at the other end, and the only way is to go to sea. But you should have heard the news, it is said that someone killed two bishops of the city church in a brutal way, which is just a matter of B, and the circumstances are extremely serious. Now all the sea areas where ships come and go are closed to search for suspects, and no one can go to sea without a pass from the Central Church. ”

Selena's wrist suddenly shook, and the knife and fork she held in her hand made a raspy sound that caused goosebumps on the porcelain plate. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and her whole face turned white as if she was about to cry, and she hurriedly waved her hand and bowed to the crowd to apologize.

Ya thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up, and wanted to walk over and help the poor nun, who was bent over and coughing violently.

"Selena, you're not feeling well, are you infected with some infectious disease or something?" On the main seat, the priest suddenly turned to the nun, who was coughing and couldn't stand up. "Why don't you go back to your room to rest first, otherwise these guests who are sick from afar will delay their tasks at that time?"

"Good, good ......"

The nun named Selena coughed so red that it took a long time for her to tremble in her reply, and she got up to leave the room. Ya slowly held one of her arms and said, "I'll send you back." ”

"Don't bother you, honorable hunter."

At one side of the long table, a nun stood up with a smile and walked to the other side to hold Selena's other hand. "I'll take Selena back, you just need to rest here now. What's more, Selena has a slight habit of cleanliness, she doesn't like people to enter her room at will, and even I have been with her for a long time before she slowly stops resisting me...... You say yes, Selena? ”

The nun hung her head, the patched neckline of her monastic robe hanging down, and she couldn't see the look on her face clearly.

"Yes...... We apologize for your understanding. ”

"It's okay." Ya stared into the eyes of the later nun, who looked back in confusion. After a while, Ya smiled softly and let go of Selena's cuffs little by little as if nothing had happened. "Well, then in that case, I won't force it."

The two nuns quickly disappeared in place, and the priest on the main seat laughed twice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. "The child may have caught a cold, and that's what she is, alas. I said last night that it was raining and asked her to cover the quilt well, she must have kicked the quilt when she fell asleep to get sick...... Sure enough, it's still a child's heart. ”

Bai Yi immediately echoed and laughed twice, and the two quickly put this little episode behind them and began to talk about something.

"What's the problem?"

Ya sat down at the long table again, and Qiu Xuan asked quietly, who tilted his head slightly, and said in an imperceptible voice: "I always feel that Selena doesn't seem to know that nun at all." ”

Qiu Xuan: "You mean ......"

Ya nodded slightly.

Ed: "What? What do you mean? Why don't you recognize? Who does Selena not know? ”

Qiu Xuan and Ya turned their heads in unison.

"I want to go to the bathroom." In the middle of lunch, Qiu Xuan put down the dishes and stood up, smiling at the crowd with some apologies. "I don't know which way to ......?"

"Oh, you can see it when you go out and turn left and keep walking." The priest in the main seat immediately smiled kindly at her, and the latter smiled back with a friendly smile and walked out of the room.

The area of this local church is only a small area, and sure enough, the sign of the washroom on the left hand side of the central auditorium is clear at a glance. Qiu Xuan glanced at it, and walked towards the opposite right-hand side.

"You're going in the wrong direction, the bathroom is there."

She didn't have time to take a few steps before a female voice suddenly sounded almost behind her. Qiu Xuan was almost punched by the excitement, but then reluctantly held it down, and turned to look at the nun who had helped Selena out before.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know the way."

She stared at the nun for a moment, then said.
