Chapter 701: Disappearing Instinct
Hao Ren looked around and found that no one was paying attention to the movement here, so he simply sat down next to Liu Sheng: "Why are you two here?" β
"Didn't you say that, passing by," Yanagi smiled and nodded, as he raised his hand to put a Leita Talisman card that interfered with perception on the table, and turned over the card, blocking the attention of the other ordinary people around him from this corner, "The two of us have lived in this area for a few days before, and today I remembered it, so I came over to take a look." I didn't expect to meet you here, and I ...... Start a store. β
"The shop is not mine, it's two friends," Hao Ren glanced at Liu Sheng, he was not wary of the two in front of him, although they were witchers, they had been carefully "educated" by Raven 12345, and they were currently harmless to his side, he was just surprised that the other party would suddenly come out, "You are really just passing by?" β
Yanagi smiled and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "Okay, there are actually some things I want to find you, but those are not busy talking about it beforehand. In addition, we were really passing by here, at least we didn't think this place was opened by you before we came to this small restaurant, and we were thinking about how to find you. β
"It just opened today," Hao Ren turned his head to look at the already busy store, shook his head and sighed, "It's all new, you see this mess - fortunately, most of them are neighbors, everyone is taking care of it, let them make trouble." β
Hao Ren didn't need to tell the two orthodox demon hunters in front of him too much about the Nangong couple, after all, the two sides were not very familiar, and Zhao Xi guessed to himself: "I saw the two people who looked like husband and wife at the back of the store...... Are they the boss here? Is it an alien who intends to live in seclusion in human society? β
"Is it so incredible for aliens to keep to themselves?" Hao Ren glanced at the other party, "They are not demons and monsters, especially those who have survived modern society. In fact, many aliens just want to live in peace, and you don't give them a chance. β
"We know." Yanagi nodded, "We've long been out of prejudice. It's just that it feels a bit rare to see the aliens honestly living in human society, after all, the aliens I saw before were either hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, or they had accused a large number of human servants to set up nests in the city, or they were seen in ancient books, the kind of ancient aliens who were the one who caused trouble...... I've never seen anything like this in front of me. It doesn't look like a human. β
Hao Ren sighed casually, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Wait a minute, can't you see the race of the couple at the back of the store?" β
Witchers are excellent hunters, especially when dealing with aliens, they can even judge the race and approximate abilities of the other party based on their intuition alone. This is also an important basis for them to finally win the long interracial war and end the "Age of Mythology", so the two of them should be able to tell at a glance what race several of the aliens in this store are! But their current cousin obviously didn't recognize the race of the Nangong couple.
It is understandable that they can't recognize Nangong Invincible, after all, the hunting instinct of demon hunters is ineffective against their own clan, and every demon hunter is good at concealing his own aura, if he does not take the initiative to show his identity in front of his clan, he can often hide from the world, and Hasselblad at the beginning saw the identity of Nangong Sanba at a glance with his extraordinary experience. But Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi should always be able to recognize Elsa as a kraken, right? The Kraken is an extremely rare race on the surface, and whoever sees them should be surprised and ask questions at first, but Yanagi's attitude is obviously not recognized. Most of him thought that Nangong and his wife were ordinary terrestrial aliens.
Liu Sheng was stunned when he heard Hao Ren's words, and then laughed helplessly: "It's seen...... That's one of the reasons why I'm here today. β
Hao Ren realized that the two people in front of him were really not here to have fun, so he rubbed his body forward: "What's the situation?" β
"Our hunting instinct is gone." Zhao Xi maintained a paralyzed expression and said in a flat voice.
Hao Ren couldn't hold back for a moment: "What?!" β
At this time, Lily's voice suddenly came from behind: "Landlord, you are lazy here!" The bats asked you to help...... Wow! β
Lily finally saw two witchers sitting in the shop. She swiped the ground and jumped back: "What are you two doing here?" β
"Don't be so nervous, isn't there a truce a long time ago?" Liu Sheng looked at the werewolf girl who had fought with them with a smile, "You just treat us as ordinary guests." Come over today to talk about something. β
Lily's wolf (dog) ears, which almost popped out, suddenly rejoined, and she nodded. He put the menu on the table: "Then order, open today." All meals are 70% off, beer is free, and two cold dishes are given for 38 yuan. β
That's how the husky girl is - she takes the two witches seriously as diners.
Liu Sheng didn't expect this girl to be so sincere, he was stunned before reacting, looking at the simple menu, he ordered a dish casually: "Duck yellow beans ......"
Lily replied in a daze: "I haven't done this yet, I'm busy writing it on the list, but no one will do it after asking around just now." β
ββ¦β¦ Is there a ...... about the stewed carp?"
"I can't stew fish today, the landlord is watching the excitement in the kitchen."
"What's the reason for that?" Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Then let's have a kung pao chicken." β
"The diced chicken is gone, but there are still eggplants, do you mind if I can let the bat invent and create a zΓ o, and I should be able to stir-fry a dish......"
Yanagi raised his eyes and looked at Lily steadily: "We've already stopped fighting, aren't we, and I'm not here to make troubleβwhy do you still have an opinion about me?" β
Hao Ren raised his hand to stop Liu Sheng's words: "Look at this girl's eyes, do you seem to be deliberately finding fault?" I don't think so. β
Lily stared at Liu Sheng with big harmless eyes, and Liu Sheng suddenly realized from that stunned look that this person in front of him was probably a creature that was insulated from the "vitriol" attribute for life, so he shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Okay, then there should always be stewed pork ribs, and then just serve two cold dishes, and finally two bowls of rice." β
Lily blinked: "The ribs are goneβis it okay to stew chicken nuggets?" β
Liu Sheng's face was depleted: "Okay, okay, let's get some anyway, we're really a little hungry." β
Lily nodded and just wanted to walk away, but Hao Ren stopped her from behind: "Eh, wait, there aren't many people who see ribs, why are they gone?" β
Lily smiled: "I see that no one wants the rest, so I eat them all!" β
After Lily left, Hao Ren immediately hugged his head: "I'm really worried about whether this store can open normally now...... Is this the right thing for an outlier? β
Yanagi: "Anyway, I'm looking at ...... Suspend. β
Hao Ren sighed, and said in his heart that it is not enough to force a group of free and casual monsters to open a restaurant in human society, and Lily can endure her hunger and serve food normally. He shook his head and put these things aside, and looked up at Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi: "Tell me about your situation, what's going on with the disappearance of the hunting instinct?" β
"Literally," Liu Sheng glanced around cautiously, and despite the runic power that dispelled the attention of ordinary people, he still subconsciously made a cautious attitude, "It's not clear exactly when it started, but it's probably in the last month or two, and it's not completely disappeared all at once, it's weakened little by little, and by the time we find it, it's already completely lost its sense." β
Zhao Xi also added on the side: "We encountered a wandering shadow demon a while ago, and it was only then that we realized that the hunting instinct had completely disappeared, and before that, we just felt a little dull in our senses, and we didn't think much about it. β
The hunting instinct of the demon hunter is something that only takes effect when facing an alien, if it is not for the encounter with the alien, even if the hunting instinct disappears, it is difficult for them to feel anything, so the situation that Zhao Xi said is not difficult to imagine.
"A large part of our ability to identify and warn of aliens is based on hunting instincts," Yanagi said with a layer of gloom on his face, "After returning from the 'gods' before, our hunting instincts are actually still there, and we will also have instinctive physical reactions when facing aliens, but we just rely on reason to forcibly suppress this instinct." But now ......"
Liu Sheng paused, smiled wryly and spread his hands: "We are really facing the aliens without any hostility. (To be continued......)
