Chapter Eighty-Six: What is a Demon Hunter?
Thank you Prince Dan for your big tip
………………………
The 'Witcher' class sounds mysterious, as if it has great power, but it's not.
Demon hunters are actually ordinary people, they don't have any great power, no spells, abilities, spells, witchcraft or anything, and there is no difference between witchers and ordinary people, they all have two eyes, one mouth and two nostrils.
If there is any difference between demon hunters and ordinary people, there is only one point, and that is courage.
When a monster that only appears in movies, novels, and TV series pounces on you with a mouth full of blood, do you choose to fight bravely head-on, or turn around and run away in fear?
In the dark night, a transparent ghost surrounds you, are you fleeing in a panic, or are you sensibly looking for a way to deal with it?
How do you deal with things that ordinary people can't understand and can't explain with science? Is it a choice to escape? Or do you choose to explore its truth?
And so on, and so on, to determine whether you become a witcher living in the shadows, or an ignorant ordinary person living in the light.
In fact, most of the witchers were ordinary people before they became witchers, with their own families, their own jobs, and even their own children, working from 9 to 5 every day to earn money to support their families.
Until one day, their family members or relatives are killed by those mysterious and unexplained supernatural creatures, causing their families to be ruined, and they are asking for help everywhere.
And the police don't understand what's going on, let alone catch the killer.
So, after these people who had lost their families sought help to no avail, they began to find their own way, avenging their family and friends, searching for information, rummaging through literature, knowing which creatures were what and what methods could be used to kill them to avenge them, and so on.
When they succeed in killing monsters with their hard-earned knowledge, he can say that he is a witcher.
Some 'things' may seem terrifying, as if they are very mysterious, some are invulnerable, some are invulnerable, and some are invulnerable even if you take a bomb.
However, with the right approach, it's easy to kill any 'thing'.
And the knowledge of the methods of recording how to kill which monsters is not as mysterious as imagined, which methods are recorded in books, and you may find this knowledge in the library, bookstore, bookshelves of your own home, etc.
However, most people think that those things are just myths and legends, magic stories, children's words, etc., and have never been formally knowledged.
In fact, the truth is very, very close to people, it just depends on how you look at it.
'Knowledge is power. This sentence was first uttered from the mouth of a demon hunter, telling other demon hunters how important the knowledge itself and the accumulation of knowledge were, and that one day they might encounter the monsters in the book.
In ancient times, there was no such advanced communication equipment as it is now, and demon hunters encountered some unexplained things, only to look through books, and often it took months or even years to deal with a job.
If it is wrong to get knowledge, then you may still die at the hands of that 'thing'.
So a wise witcher, summing up his life's experience, said the phrase 'knowledge is power' on his deathbed, and slowly spread in the circle of witchers.
It wasn't until one day, when it was heard by an ordinary person and written into a book by him, that this sentence became famous and everyone knew about it.
However, only the demon hunter knows the meaning behind this sentence, and knows how much hardship the life of the demon hunter who summed up this sentence and how much struggle between life and death has been experienced.
A demon hunter like Wang Hongwei grew up in a family of demon hunters, and was finally trained by Uncle Fat to learn all kinds of knowledge related to demon hunting, which is very, very rare in the circle of demon hunters.
Most of the demon hunters can be said to be halfway monks, so they don't even have anyone to talk to.
Moreover, many demon hunters do not have a good death in the end, and they will basically die in a certain job, and a few lucky ones who survive have children, and they basically can't change back to the life of ordinary people, and slowly the profession of demon hunters will be passed on to their next generation, and demon hunters will become a family business, and knowledge is accumulating little by little.
Because they know how cruel and helpless the work of a demon hunter is, Wang Hongwei's parents want him to stay away from the circle of demon hunters and make him an ordinary person.
However, providence makes people, and plans often do not change quickly.
After Wang Hongwei and the fat uncle finished the video, they knew what kind of existence the Mind Eater was, and most importantly, they knew the way to kill the Mind Eater.
I learned from Uncle Fat that you need a special weapon to kill the Mind Eater, and other weapons, such as pistols, sticks, etc., can't do it.
It had to be a branch from the Hollow Tree, smeared with the blood of the person killed by the Mind Eater, and finally stabbed into the Heart Eater's heart to kill it, not even in the brain.
After learning what kind of tree the hollow tree was, when chatting with the fat uncle, Wang Hongwei suddenly remembered that he had seen a hollow tree before, and he saw it today.
He remembered that when he was investigating the third victim, he seemed to have seen it in a neighborhood next to an Internet café.
Because the environment in that community is very good and very poetic, he just glanced at it, but the scene is still deeply remembered in his mind.
There are two rows of big trees in the community, and countless flowers, and there is a small pavilion with stone steps in the middle, and behind the small pavilion, there is a big tree, and in the center of the tree, there seems to be a hole, although it is not big, but it should be a hole.
"That tree should be a hollow tree?" Wang Hongwei recalled the picture in the community, because he only glanced at it and didn't see it too clearly, so he didn't know whether the tree was a hole or a pit in the bark.
"Forget it, don't care, just go over and see." Wang Hongwei held the spirit of preferring to kill mistakes and not let go, quickly got up and took off the bathrobe on his body, and at this moment, except for his hair, the rest of his body was dry.
Regardless of his undried hair, he hurriedly put all his clothes on the bed, put them on, walked to the suitcase, lifted the camouflage board, and the stepped boxes connected to each other unfolded with a 'bang'.
Wang Hongwei looked at it, reached into one of the boxes, and took out a dagger inserted in a leather scabbard.
After putting the dagger away, closing the camouflage board, Wang Hongwei walked out of the room, took the elevator downstairs, and went directly out of the hotel.
Although he didn't know the name of the community, he was not afraid that he would admit it or not find it, because the light Sunshine Internet café next to the community was very eye-catching.
According to the general impression in his memory, after finding the direction, Wang Hongwei walked towards the community while eating the fruit he picked up from the table before leaving.
After walking for seven or eight minutes, I finally saw the community from a distance, to be precise, I didn't see the community, but I saw the light Sunshine Internet café, the big signboard that flashed with neon light, and I couldn't ignore it if I wanted to.
Throwing aside the leftover fruit pits in his hand, he ran quickly towards the Internet café, ran to the front and back of the Internet café door, walked a few steps forward, and sure enough, he saw the big iron gate that was closed and the small door that was open above the iron door, and inside was the community.
Wang Hongwei stepped across the small door, walked into the community and looked back and forth, the lights in the community were all in front of the unit door, and there was no light near the stone step pavilion and it was very dim, so he couldn't see the situation there.
However, when Wang Hongwei saw this, he was happy in his heart, it was dinner time, so there was no one in the community now, so no one would find out when he went to cut down trees.
And even if the tree is cut halfway, someone goes downstairs or someone comes back from outside and walks in the community, because of the lights, they will not find Wang Hongwei who is secretly cutting trees at the small pavilion.
Wang Hongwei walked quickly to the intersection of the stone steps, followed the stone steps all the way to the small pavilion, and saw clearly the big tree behind the small pavilion that he suspected was a hollow tree.
