He fixed his eyes on the doorway, which was open, but no one had come out, and from here he could not see into the depths of the church. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a little thought, he made the decision to go in, and at this point the door would open as a very obvious hint that there were no more clues around and there was only to move forward.

He picked up one of the pistols and cautiously approached it.

As the curvature of the stone steps changed direction, the scene inside the gate gradually entered his field of vision.

As I thought at first, the interior of this church is not large, and it can even be described as small, and the benches that often exist in churches cannot fit here. There are also many cabinets on both sides of the interior, and some books are placed on the floor haphazardly, which makes people feel that this place does not look like a church. Only the icons placed at the end and the table full of candles still have some traces.

What is even more noticeable than these is that there is a wheelchair in the room, and an old man is sitting on it. The old man covered his expression with a wide-brimmed hat, and his shabby clothes gave people a feeling of old and decadent.

But he was indeed a living man, a living man who had been seen for the first time so far.

I don't know why I haven't seen each other at all, but I have a certain sense of déjà vu for each other, but I can't think of anything when I think about it carefully.

When he appeared in the doorway, a voice as old as he had imagined came.

"You must be the new hunter, right? Welcome to Hunter's Dream, which will be your home for the time being. ”

“……”

Judging from the tone and content of the other party's speech, it is obvious that they can communicate normally, and there should be no intent to attack. There seemed to be a lot of information revealed from the words just now, and the answers he wanted to know might be answered.

"Hello."

He approached step by step, stopping at a distance, where he could deal with even if the opponent suddenly burst out, but of course there was nothing he could do if the opponent had any offensive ability other than his body.

"Hmm. I am...... You can call me an old hunter. Now I'm doing some work to assist the hunters. ”

Hunter, that's the word the other side mentions repeatedly.

For a moment, something seemed to flash through his mind, but then the other party's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"You seem to be a little confused right now."

"You know I'm coming?"

He did not immediately explain his situation, but went further to probe.

"Of course. Every hunter will come here. ”

“？”

"You can't seem to figure out your status."

“……”

"Don't take it too seriously. It is true that some people experience some unexpected conditions after receiving blood therapy. ”

"Blood therapy?"

"Hmm. It is a small town called Yanan. Blood therapy is a specialty here, which can cure many diseases, and many people come here. It's just that at some point, a lot of wild beasts appeared in Yanan, so hunters appeared, specializing in hunting wild beasts. From time to time, some outlanders will become hunters, just like you. ”

The other party's attitude seems to be that he thinks of himself as a hunter.

"Now that hunting night is here again, it's time for the hunters to be active."

"Do you know why I'm here?"

"Outsiders come here for their own reasons, but they all have their own needs. However, I am only responsible for supporting the hunters' operations. ”

The other party seemed unable to answer his question.

"So what is this place?"

"This is a hunter's dream, a haven for hunters. When the hunter has an accident during the hunt, he will enter this dream. At the same time, the tools here can be used to strengthen the hunter's strength for better hunting. ”

So when he appeared here after being killed by the beast, this question seems to be answered. This answer is somewhat surprising, and seems to indicate that the hunter is immortal.

"Why is this happening?"

"Don't think too much. Hunt more of those beasts, it's the best. ”

The other party doesn't seem to want to say more on this topic.

From the other party's words, he roughly understood the current situation, there were many wild beasts in this place called Yanan, and the beasts he encountered before originated from this, and the hunter was to hunt wild beasts. And from the beasts, and this dream, we can know that the situation here is not simple. The other party should think of himself as a hunter and does not know his situation.

Of course, the premise of everything is that the other party is not lying.

Now there are two scenarios. One is that he entered this world unintentionally, and then the other party had some kind of misunderstanding and thought of himself as a hunter. The second is that he was led here by someone, and he is caught up in some kind of conspiracy.

The first case did not need to be considered, and if it was the second case, he could not be sure whether the old man in front of him was lying. The other party may be telling the truth, and he does not know his situation, and the mastermind is someone else. It may also be that the other party is the mastermind, and everything he says is a lie.

Now he has too little information to make a judgment.

Do you want to try to ask the other person?

The thought flashed through his mind and was immediately dismissed.

This is too risky, if the other party is really the mastermind, it is definitely not something that his current strength can fight against. If the other party doesn't know anything, let alone say anything.

However, there are other ways to tempt without using violence.

"I want to get out of here, how can I get out?"

If this is a conspiracy devised by someone, the other party will naturally try to avoid leaving themselves.

"As long as the night of the hunt is over, no one will dare to walk in the streets until then, because wild beasts will appear everywhere."

"Beasts in the city?"

"Yes, whether you're leaving or not, go through the city."

There was nothing unusual about the old hunter's words, which frustrated his idea just now.

The real situation is still shrouded in fog, so it is better to follow the instructions of the other party for the time being, and collect clues in the process. If there really is a conspiracy, it is certainly impossible for the other party to kill himself immediately.

"What am I going to do now?"

"Go hunt the beasts, kill more beasts on this hunting night, that's the hunter's job, and then this nightmare will end."

As he spoke, the old hunter gestured around with his gaze.

"Hunters can strengthen themselves and their weapons with blood. Although there aren't many tools here now, there should be some to find out there that you can use as you please...... Include the outside figures, if you like. ”

"Doll ......"

"Go check it out, you'll get something."

"I see."

The other party seemed to have no intention of speaking again, and began to close his eyes and ponder, since he decided to listen to the other party's actions for the time being, then there was no need to test again and again.

As the other party said, he walked out of the church, down the stone stairs, and towards the position of the puppet.

At this point, the puppet does change. (To be continued.) )
