Chapter 9: The Night of the Killing

"Darkness comes from the abyss, and light is born from darkness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Flames come from chaos, and flames light up darkness.

Thunder comes from the void, and fire is born of thunder

Nameless comes from the depths of the sea, and magic inspires wisdom.

The abyss is both tangible and invisible, the abyss is Otto, we are the children of Otto, and we are the children of the abyss. Otto is omnipresent, the abyss is omnipresent, and we are omnipresent. Chaos is both Sophia, and Sophia creates light and destroys it. The void is located outside the sky, and the thunder connects the world. The unspeakable is born in the depths of the sea, and the unspeakable inspires the unspeakable power.

We are not the only son of Otto, Otto created us, and we do not belong to Otto, we create the world, and the world does not belong to us. ”

The mayor was still signing his stacks of papers, and Robin and Senjie were standing waiting for him to respond to their requests, and Robin was also looking through the list of missing people, all men and professions, bards, tower merchants, coachmen, priests, and so on.

"It seems that you still have two moments," the mayor said without looking up, still sitting on his desk full of papers, "but we won't go into the forest to help you," he finally put down the pen in his hand and stared at the surprised two with his two little eyes, "I hired you because we don't have to send people, to put it mildly, we won't give you any assistance, no aid that could cause damage to our own people, and if you go in and don't come out in the morning, I won't go and clean up your body!"

Senjie couldn't listen anymore, "We're going to help you solve your trouble!" He had never seen such a hateful person, he regarded other people's lives as if they were grass, he clenched his fists and tried to rush over, Robin reached out to stop him, shook his head, and signaled him not to be impulsive.

"Little ghost, what are you angry about! I tell you, if you want to take the bounty, you have to earn your own life, don't try to drag your patron into the water together, get out, if you can't kill the banshee, I'll kill you!"

Robin didn't say anything, he was afraid to pat Senjie on the shoulder, and walked towards the door, Senjie was a little unwilling but still followed Robin's footsteps. He could still hear the mayor cursing, and he could only hold back the anger in his heart. "Hairy boy, you dare to say wildly, I am the boss in this place! You and the banshee are all together, it is best to expose the corpse in the wilderness! The mother-in-law and mother who do things have already known to invite bounty hunters, and the dogs who take money to do things dare to bark at me!"

As soon as he walked out of the mayor's mansion, Senjie complained to Robin about it, and Robin looked at him quietly with a smile on his face.

"I really want to beat that guy who looks like a mouse, although we work for him, but it's fair trade, equivalent exchange, what's so great about him. ”

"The reality is not what the textbooks say, fair trade, equivalent exchange, at least here it is different from Greel, people are struggling to make a living, some people can kill an innocent person for money, is this an equivalent exchange?

"It's not the same as business, you can't trade human life for money. ”

"Did you know that the Gerry people are called the Tower People? because there is a popular saying: 'The Tower of Gerry is made of tens of thousands of corpses. 'Is it fair that the towerers hoard goods and raise prices, and they unite to grab wealth?'

But that's not right. Senjie still couldn't accept it.

"The world will still work, and it won't stop because you can't accept it, and you can't refuse to accept it because it's different from your common sense. You also have to learn a lot of things, learn to understand the world, and look at the world anew. The mayor's society taught him to live on his toes, to live selfishly, and this is how he sees the world. ”

"I get it, but I don't want to be like that, but I don't know what I want to be. ”

"I can't answer this question, you need to find out for yourself. Okay, get ready, fill your stomach to have the strength to talk about these advanced topics, did I bring you the blanket I brought?"

"What's the use of that?"

"Let's not freeze to death in the woods. ”

Under the cover of the trees, it is difficult to find the two people hiding in it, and on the other side of the forest there is a long howl of wolves, it is said that wolves will roar at the moon on the cliff, but the moonlight under the fog is so thin, can the wolves really see the full moon? Senjie covered the blanket more tightly, the cold of late autumn, especially the cold of the night, which Senjie had never experienced before, and Robin was clearly more adaptable, and after surveying the forest, he determined where the banshee was most likely to appear, and wondered how the detective, who seemed to be addicted to alcohol, had become accustomed to it when he was a time traveler. Senjie had the opportunity to ask Mr. Robin to tell the story of his time traveler era.

Senjie and the two of them were facing a circular clearing deep in the forest, which was probably the brightest place on an unpredictable moonlit night. Robin moved, and Senjie knew that the banshee was coming!

The banshee walked slowly on all fours like an animal, and when she reached the circular clearing, she stood up like a human, no different from a human except for the cat-like features on her face and sharp claws and a hairy tail on her hips. Out of the shadows came a man with a feathered hat, the half-"bard" that the proprietress had called, and he spoke first, "Lisa, I know you want to sing, but not now. ”

The banshee was very disappointed and seemed to have made up a lot of determination, "Dear Latro, I don't want to kill anymore, stop killing those innocent people!"

The man sneered, "There are no good people in this world, they are cursed because you are cursed, just because you didn't give that ugly witch a glass of water to drink, and those fathers and villagers drove you out of the village and separated us, and the human race is innocent of death." Now that we're together, we're going to make them pay it back. ”

"He's lying!" Out of the darkness came a woman, all black, only the long hair under the black tricorne hat was red, the mask obscured her face, she held a long shotgun in her hand, pointed at the man named Latro.

"The woman leaves, and the man dies. Before the banshee Lisa could react, the shotgun fired, but the man quickly dodged the bullet and quickly approached the woman in black, this kind of super-high-speed movement can only be done by one kind of monster, and that is the vampire! The woman dropped the shotgun, pulled out the sword with silver light all over her waist, blocked the attack of the vampire's claws, and kicked her foot at the vampire's vital point, but the vampire was faster, and instantly moved to the woman's back to bite her neck, the vampire did not succeed, the woman thrust the sword back, and pierced the vampire's left chest, it screamed in pain, but this did not make Latro lose its combat effectiveness, it grabbed the silver sword with one hand, and with a strong wave of the other, it scratched five wounds on the woman's back, and the woman fell to the ground, and her back was covered with blood, Latro laboriously pulled out the silver sword, ready to use the silver sword to solve the woman who hurt him。 The banshee immediately ran over and stopped Latro, "Don't kill anymore, she can't move anymore." ”

"What stupid thing to say, she was going to kill me and your husband just now, I can't let her go. ”

"Let's get out of here, let's hide, I don't want to see anyone die in front of me again. ”

"You stupid woman," Latero said when he was about to kill the woman, finding that the woman at his feet was missing. ”

"But your life is not great. A pair of glowing eyes in the darkness drew closer, "I didn't want to meddle in this. ”

"It's been a really lively day, first a masked killer, then a bounty hunter, it seems that I'm really popular, and there is anyone else who can perform an opera in a while. Vampire Latro looked sarcastic.

"Yes, there are detectives from Gerry. Robin also stepped out of cover and into the round field, took off his hat and performed a comical court etiquette move, followed by Senjie, who was shivering from the cold. "But the lady is right, Lady Lisa, that your husband has deceived you. ”

"Nonsense!" the vampire angrily tried to attack Robin, but Fayol immediately drew his rune sword, and the vampire was a little afraid of the bounty hunter and did not dare to act rashly.

"Mr. Latro, who calls himself a bard, and a seemingly nervous show in the tavern is actually paving the way for his later plans, and the people who have disappeared are all men, and they have disappeared in the forest where the banshee is, and it is natural to think that the banshee has never seen a man, and after the first taste of the poet's sweetness, she has begun to plunder men, how can a husband let his wife fall into such slander? How can such a song attract men? ”

"This is not at all a characteristic of forest demons, they rely on lewd love songs to attract lustful men, and Lady Lisa is clearly cursed to become like this. Fayol the Hunter added. "I found the bodies of the remainders, all killed by vampires, and I knew it could be a high-level mutated vampire (converted from humans). Mutant vampires don't even have the humanity of real vampires, they are more like beasts and pets of vampires. With all that happens, the Banshee of the Woods is a pawn of a vampire who conceals his identity and carries out his own murderous plan, and he doesn't turn into a vampire to find you, but to use you. ”

Lisa, the banshee, turned to her husband, "Latro, is it true? Now people are saying that I killed people?"

With an evil expression, Latro grabbed the defenseless Lisa and bit her throat, everyone was shocked by such an act, and Lisa did not expect to die at the hands of her beloved husband. "I wasn't going to kill you, but I didn't want to die under the siege of three people. ”

"Be careful, he gets stronger when he sucks blood. Fayol did not expect that this Latro would not hesitate to kill his wife in order to increase his chances of victory. The speed of the vampire became faster, and even Fayol's eyes were a little unable to keep up with Latro's movements, so he had to release the wall of fire with his left hand, and the vampire rushed through the wall of fire, Fayol slashed hard, but was taken by the vampire's arm, and Fayol immediately drew a circle with his sword to become defensive, but the vampire scratched the armor of his right arm, and Senjie cast the impact magic "sandenlak" , knocked the vampire back a few steps, the vampire screamed wildly, and suddenly a strong wind rose, and the leaves turned into weapons and shot at the three of them. "Mr. Hunter, come here!" Fayol immediately jumped behind Senjay, who immediately activated his shield magic to block the flying leaves, and Robin appeared behind the vampire, brandishing his knife and slashing at the vampire's neck, which did work, causing a huge wound to the vampire, and blood flowed.

The vampire swung back in retaliation, and Robin dodged it again, "Impossible, no matter how fast you are, you can't dodge my attack." ”

"I call it time travel, it's magic!" Fayol saw the opportunity and shot a pillar of fire into the vampire's eye, it couldn't dodge, exposing its throat, Fayol gave up his defense and stabbed the vampire's throat hard, but before he died, he waved and destroyed the hunter's breastplate, severely scratching the hunter's chest, the hunter released his sword, tore off the corner of his clothes, and stopped the bleeding. The vampire didn't move anymore after a struggle.

Robin and Senjie immediately rushed to Fayol's side, but Fayol pushed them away, "I'm fine, don't take such an errand lightly in the future, this time you are lucky, you go back to the errand, I will deal with the aftermath." ”

"You're so badly injured, how do you deal with it?" Senjie was worried.

"For a hunter, this little injury is nothing. ”

"Give you the bounty, we can't win him without you. Robin said.

"No kidding," Fayol shook his head, "you're running out of food. I'm uninvited, don't want a bounty. Hurry up and don't disturb my work. ”

Hearing his still powerful voice and determined eyes, the two walked out of the forest, and Senjie realized that his heart was beating badly, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Cover your head with a blanket and you'll get sick. ”

"Mr. Robin, it seems that bounty hunters don't take money as much as the legend suggests. ”

"Legends are sometimes just legends. ”
