On a summer night in June 216 in the continental calendar, on the first floor of a house on the edge of Suke Town, which was crawling with unknown plants and looking a little old, the sound of a young man reading was constantly coming from the first floor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Babmo: Usually 6 feet tall and weighs 140 pounds. According to the available information, this type of demon is sneaky and cunning. They usually don't hesitate to attack one of their opponents' most dangerous of all. When they decide to ambush their opponents, the Babu are usually adept at using their masterful multi-attack and sneak attack techniques. Their natural weapons are giant claws that can swing like any sharp weapon......"

Under the dim light emitted by the lamps hanging from the ceiling, Watson, who was wearing a simple short coat on his upper body and knee-high shorts on his lower body, was holding a yellowed book that looked a little wrinkled because he had been read too many times, his eyes scanning the words on the book up and down, and slowly reading it in his mouth.

If you ignore the reading, it sounds like a young man reading the writings of those polymaths in order to increase his knowledge, doesn't it?

So the question is, how did Watson, who was holding something in both hands, hold a book about the size of a brick? The reason is simple, because there is a pair of hands underneath the book...... Oh, and maybe it shouldn't be called a hand but a pair of black claws that don't belong to a human!

The young man's mouth chewing on biscuits suddenly stopped, and his right leg, which was shaking because of boredom, also stopped, and a mechanical voice sounded in his head on time.

Current Soul Mending Progress...... 1.15%, soul remaining life: 6 years, 3 months, 21 days and 7 hours.

"Ah...... You don't have to send me this kind of message every night, it's a hassle to be a good apprentice, you have to read so many monster books every day, and people keep coming to test you. If it weren't for the fact that I could live a few more years, I wouldn't have done this kind of drudgery. ”

Watson complained a little helplessly, a black light flashed in his eyes, and the black claws that were originally held under the books immediately merged into one, and on the top of the books, there was an extra claw, and slowly turned the book over another page.

Strictly speaking, Watson does not belong to this world, according to the more popular saying in his previous life, he crossed over, for him in his previous life as a helpless orphan, this seems to be a good thing, but in fact he said that he is completely unacceptable, because others are a hundred years old after crossing, happy, and the first day he crossed over, his soul was broken because of some accident, although this did not affect his IQ, but his lifespan was greatly reduced, and the voice in his head before was the reason why he knew this helpless fact.

system, what a high-end appellation, but what Watson got from it was a countdown to death for several years, this broken system would report to him on time every day during the two years he was in this world at this time on time to report the repair of his soul and the remaining lifespan, for anyone who wants to live a good life is reminded every day of how long he can live and that number is still pitiful, this is really not a comfortable thing.

Of course, there must be losses and gains, although the system in the death timing makes Watson hate, but in other ways it gives him hope to live, since the soul has the progress of repair, then naturally there is a way to repair, this method may be a little scary, but in order to survive in the past two years, he has gradually become accustomed to it, that is, to absorb the souls of other creatures!

Don't get me wrong, this world is not peaceful, disputes are everywhere, and human beings are not the only masters on this continent, although the technology in some parts of the human race is still a little backward compared to Watson's previous life, but in his opinion, in other aspects, it is already developed enough, and even far surpasses the previous life.

On this continent, the advanced and the backward coexist, some people are riding in cars, and some people are riding in horse-drawn carriages.

On this continent, magic and science coexist. Some people use all kinds of machinery to fight with cannon fire, and there are also people who use various magic to inflict different attack effects, and the battle between people is no longer the only mainstream, and the powerful and ferocious monsters in those places that ordinary people can't see also have their own territory and life.

A modern metropolis like Watson's previous life has emerged, with wooden spire houses and cobble-paved roads, large manors of steel, stone and magic, and wide avenues paved with concrete for cars.

Electricity has become another new source of energy, but the energy generated by magic and alchemy is also driving the world forward, such as electric lights, ovens, and safes made of magic arrays.

Propellers, gears, pistons, and bearings began to be used in large numbers in machinery, and they all tended to become gigantic, and according to Watson's previous life, it was like a steampunk-style society, where there was a huge disparity between people, and the laws constrained the common people but had no effect on the powerful people or monsters.

To get back to the point, the fragile souls of ordinary people are meaningless to mend, and what Watson needs to absorb is the souls of those monsters or strong people in order to continuously replenish his souls to increase his lifespan and enhance himself, which is why he still persistently watchs, reads, and recites these or demons or other monsters even if he feels very boring.

Watson knew that if he wanted to live better, then in the future he would have to face these monsters, fight them, and defeat them completely, because his purpose was to obtain their souls, and the way to get them was to kill them, after all, souls are not something that is just given to them.

On the one hand, Watson obtained the system after the accident two years ago, and the system not only gave him a death timer and a method to repair his soul, but most importantly, the system was able to convert a part of the abilities held by the absorbed soul to Watson, so that he could also use these strange and unique abilities.

Current Soul Ability: Dark Energy Mastery.

This is the only ability Watson has acquired through the system in two years, not through his killing monsters, but from that accident two years ago...... Perhaps this was a reward for the shattering of his soul?

Dark energy control, as the name suggests, this ability can allow Watson to use dark energy to a certain extent, just like the two hands holding the book before, the ability that looks very ambiguous Watson is still somewhat familiar with it in the past two years of exploration, first of all, the energy that this ability can control is related to his own strength, the stronger he is, the more energy he can control, and secondly, it is also related to the number of times he uses it, the more he uses it, the more handy it will be.

From the initial rough use of only being able to summon a small cloud of dark energy and breaking a paper cup within a meter to being able to turn into two hands to help Watson take things and turn books, I have to say that Watson spent a lot of effort on this, and the relative rewards also made him very satisfied.

On the other hand, Watson has a mentor who systematically strengthens his own abilities, and this teacher teaches him how to survive better in this world and find a good environment for himself to develop.

That teacher was the man who saved Watson from that accident two years ago------ a demon hunter!

Demon hunters are always the last thing they want to mention or encounter for monsters in the dark, because they have enough research on them, they know their weaknesses, what they are afraid of, what they are not afraid of, and even what they like and hate.

It is common knowledge of most people on the continent that if you find a monster, you should find a demon hunter to solve it, and Watson's teacher is one of those who have this special profession.

The accident two years ago was a rare demon invasion, Watson's town was chosen by an unknown evil organization as a location for evil rituals, where they searched for people, killed people and sacrificed them, and finally summoned the terrifying demons, most of the inhabitants of the village were killed, and Watson, who was so homeless because of the crossing, was lucky not to be found in the initial massacre.

However, when the sacrificial ritual started, Watson was still affected, and his soul was absorbed by the large-scale sacrificial ritual, and the feeling of his soul being torn apart was indescribable, but he definitely didn't want to experience it a second time.

Just before his soul was completely shattered, the demon hunter arrived, and Watson could only see a dozen black shadows erupt with extremely powerful energy, destroying everything he could see, and then plunged into darkness, and when he woke up again, there was an elderly man between middle and old age in front of him, and he was Watson's current teacher, Demon Hunter Maury.

After two years of getting along, Watson also has a full understanding of the profession of demon hunter, and he has also participated in Maury's mission operations, although he can only fight and do some trivial things, but these things have also increased his knowledge a lot, and by the way, he has gained some soul energy.

Of course, there is naturally no danger in the task that can let him participate as a layman, so the soul energy is naturally very small, and he can't even repair his soul, so it can only be used to nourish his body and make his physique stronger.

However, all this is coming to an end in the near future, because Watson has finally reached the time of leaving the teacher after studying with Morry for two years, and of course it is impossible for Morrie to shelter him as a teacher for the rest of his life, so after making sure that he can teach Watson everything he can teach, Morley went out and began to look for a suitable task as his disciple's mission.

As long as Watson can complete the task given to him by Maury, then he will be able to get rid of the name of an apprentice demon hunter and become a real demon hunter who can take on the task independently.

"Stinky boy, come and open the door for me!!I'm dying of hunger today!"

Watson was thinking about it when a deep voice came from outside the house, followed by a constant knock on the door.
