Chapter 405: Not a betrayal

The old man looked at the empty coffin, his eyes showed a rare hint of panic, and at the same time, he suddenly pulled out the long knife behind his back and made a circle with a huge range on the spot.

This is a habitual defense against attack, because hunters always like to attack their enemies from behind, and in this case, it is always right to do this first, regardless of whether there is anyone around you or not. And, while doing this action, the old man didn't even think about it, and quickly retreated, hiding in the shadows behind him.

The gap was so deep that not much moonlight could penetrate it, and the shadow covered almost every corner. The moment the old man entered the shadows, the surroundings became silent in an instant, and he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, as if no one had ever been here.

After a few seconds, in the dimness, a voice suddenly came.

"I didn't expect it to be you......"

The voice was so soft that it was almost impossible to tell the direction, but it was still possible to confirm that the voice belonged to the dead 71.

There was silence, and no one answered.

"Why betray humanity?" Number 71's voice continued: "I have doubted everyone in the team, but your suspicion is the least, after all, you are too old, no relatives, no ambition, even if you have, you must have been worn out by the years to nothing, a person who has no handle and no desire, for what is the betrayal of his race?" ”

The old man still didn't respond......

This slit is not large, and if two people are placed in this place when there is light, then they must be able to see each other as soon as they raise their eyes.

But at this time, there are not many optical fibers here, and the darkness makes this small space become a killer step by step, and the two people who are good at hiding don't know which corner to hide, and they don't know if they will be wiped on the neck with a knife in the next step.

The old man clinged to the side of a rock, and the voice of No. 71 just now touched the rock wall for a moment, producing a slight echo and revealing the direction. But the old man didn't dare to rush over and attack the other party, he didn't know if this flaw was a trap.

Moreover, he still didn't understand how No. 71 survived, isn't this guy already dead, he personally sealed the coffin, for fear that the hunter would become a dead body, the coffin was designed to be very strong, and it was almost impossible to push it open from the inside without tools.

As if hearing the old man's heart, the voice of No. 71 came again, only this time, in a different direction.

"Are you still wondering why I'm still alive?" She said: "Hehe, you are really old, and you can't even confirm whether you are fake your death...... But it's no wonder that you've been indirectly killing your companions along the way, and if you check each one, it's too easy to be exposed, right? ”

"Don't call me like a traitor." The old man finally made a sound, and he didn't know if it was No. 71's words that made him feel uncomfortable, or if he was also using his voice to lure the other party into his attack range.

"Oh? Muttered, don't you think this behavior of your own is a betrayal? ”

"Of course not, because I've never been loyal to the hunter from beginning to end?"

"Never loyal? Why? Number 71 frowned.

"Huh." The old man chuckled: "Do you still need to ask, let me be loyal, at least you have to give me a bargaining chip worthy of loyalty, but for more than 71 years, I haven't gotten anything, I'm just training day and night, and then thrown into the battlefield!" That's all! ”

"Humanity has given you the meaning of life, and your battle is to protect the humanity behind you, which is the ...... of glory"

"Come on!" The old man interrupted the other man, and his voice seemed to grow a little louder: "Why should I protect the human race, just because we are the same kind?" I'm over 70 years old, and I've participated in more than 200 missions, including countless small ones, but do you know how many times I've been thrown rocks by street kids? They hate hunters, even if you've just saved their village. ”

"People's prejudice against us is only temporary, and history will prove our significance."

I've heard enough of it, and I've even relayed it to other people...... We are the guardians of humanity, we are guns, we are shields, we are hope~ Without hunters, humanity would have fallen apart long ago, I have said this countless times...... I used to be convinced of these words. But...... Every time I see my team members die in a mission, I think our behavior is ridiculous. ”

"There will inevitably be casualties on the mission, and you can't say that these casualties are counted on the hunters' heads." Number 71 said.

"Hahaha-" The old man suddenly laughed, "You see, this is the reason why the hunters are united, you are too young, and when you see your companions die one after another, your mind will change. ”

"I've seen a lot of people die."

"No, you haven't seen enough! It's like this information escort mission, you're already burnt out, have you ever seen a real battlefield? Or have you seen a brother who fought with you many times from birth to death, and in an instant, he was torn apart, and then his body was devoured and turned into a weapon against you. ”

"It's not the hunters' fault."

"Fart! That's the hunters' fault! It's the fault of humanity! It is because human beings are unwilling to compromise that they cannot tolerate the existence of beings above themselves in this world! If humanity is willing to take a step back and share this world with the dead, there will be no war at all!

The dead don't need to consume resources, they won't rob us of food, they won't pollute the environment, they don't want anything, they just can't die at a loss, but human beings have been trying their best to provoke wars, and a war can provide thousands of dead bodies, which makes the number of dead bodies continue to increase!

Do you understand? The increase in dead bodies is not the result of their own will, but by human death! It was like a war between wood and fire, and perhaps the raging flame was nothing more than a small flame at first. ”

No. 71 felt that this teammate had gone crazy, perhaps because of his age, or because he had seen too much life and death.

But it didn't matter anymore, her knife slowly stretched out to the neck of the old man in front of her, and when the other party was talking about the theory just now, No. 71 had already touched the other party's back.

A very light knife pierced the other party's throat directly.

That's the end of it, she doesn't want to care if the other party's brain is really broken, and she doesn't want to bother to think about how this guy is and transmits information, and she doesn't want to ask when the other party started betraying humans.

Everything ended with this knife.

However, the next second......

"How...... What's going on? ”
