Vol 20 Chapter 17: : White fog and black crow, 0 years of loneliness

The white mist was filled with black crows flying.
The country is sparsely populated, and there are even undeveloped mountains and forests, running elk and even wolves and brown bears everywhere.
On the road at night, rock music was playing in a speeding car, and a pair of young men and women who had returned drunk.
"Hi, please, Jenna, please change the song. I think he is holding the guitar and shaking his head, just like a mental patient in our hospital."
"Then why are you here? Well, since you don't like him so much." Sitting in the passenger seat, a young fat but very cute blonde girl swayed her body, not shut down by her boyfriend's words. Turn off the stereo or change a song.
"You know, I never like rock music. The reason why I drove for two hours is because I love you... Two hours to go, two hours to come back, four hours in total." , The man looked sideways at his girlfriend.
"Oh, okay, clever answer." The girl smiled when she heard the words. She turned off the speaker and leaned in at the same time. The two young men became affectionate, and suddenly a figure appeared in the thick fog in front of the car. He was standing on the highway. Central bang!
"Oh!! No." The young man was too late to brake at the last moment, and the huge car smashed the figure into flight, throwing it heavily on the ground.
"Damn, damn, it's too foggy." He patted the steering wheel sharply, and after a young man named Jeff gave a brief account to the girl named Jenna, he pushed the car door and ran to the body behind the car.
"Please, don't die, don't die."
"Hello!? Ambulance, here, here is... Anyway, we ran into someone... Come here. This is, oh, yes, this is the winding road in Baipu Town." The blonde girl Jenna said incoherently. With.
At this time, her boyfriend Jeff had already arrived in front of the injured person.
"Are you okay? I'm an intern, no matter how you feel now, take a deep breath." When he came to the fallen man, Jeff was a little surprised not seeing the blood that should have penetrated and spread on the ground.
But he quickly moved closer to the wounded, and when his palm touched the opponent's cold palm, the fallen wounded jumped forward and bit on the side of the neck of his prey. That was quite strong. The young man just struggled for a while before he fell to the ground.
At this time, Jenna had already finished calling the ambulance, and she pushed the car door and walked out of the position of the co-pilot. However, the girl searched around the car, but did not see her boyfriend and the injured person.
"Jeff? Where are you? Jeff?" Jenna walked around the car twice, and a black shadow swooped down with a strong wind. Jenna, who had already faintly felt something wrong, turned around suddenly, but was caught The black shadow instantly grabbed her waist, and the phone in her hand "snapped" to the road floor.
………………………
In the early morning, at the sacred mountain monastery, the blacksmith shop, a strong old blacksmith poured the liquid on a buckler, the pungent smell spread, and there was a strong sour smell.
It was a slightly purple round iron shield with a huge skull head in the center of the shield. Zhu Peng stepped forward and took the circular shield with the skull in the hands of the blacksmith. When he twisted the mechanism, the shield surface spread out in a circle. A serrated knife like fangs.
"The main ingredient is the expanded ancient corpse skull you brought, but I also added many precious ingredients to it, anti-fire, anti-electricity, and anti-icing. Once activated, it can forcefully eat the power of an attack. It can be activated twice. For ordinary demon hunters, this is a heirloom treasure that can be used for a lifetime...Don't forget that you owe me fifty thousand gold scrolls and two demon bones of at least Tier 2 quality."
Ignoring the old blacksmith’s words, Zhu Peng calmly felt the touch, weight, and defensive power of the buckler. The buckler was more flexible than the tower shield and the kite-shaped shield, and even the unit was extremely tough. The requirements are also higher. In case of bad use, the round shield should be the least useful type of shield.
Along with thinking, Zhu Peng suddenly threw the jagged round shield in his hand, exhaled, the jagged round shield whizzed the wind, flying far away, it fell back into the master's hand after a round, showing Outstanding equipment stability.
"Fifty thousand gold scrolls and two demon bones of at least Tier 2 quality, no problem." Paladins below the legend have extremely weak long-range attack capabilities. Although the serrated buckler in their hands won't make up too much, it is good for long-range bows and arrows. Hand and spellcaster units are always a threat, especially through poisoning, temporary strengthening and enchanting, etc. to increase their power.
When Zhu Peng left the blacksmith shop and returned to the dormitory, she unexpectedly saw Dylan leaning against the door alone. She looked a little sad and her face was a little pale...
"Hi, what's the matter? His face looks so ugly." Stepped forward and took out the key and opened the door. The room was filled with various herbs, glass bottles and beakers, but the taste was not unpleasant. Consciously adjust to make the breath in the room very fresh and clean.
"Take me here as a trash can for negative emotions, planning to vent it?"
"It seems that you don't know, here, our instructors Percy and Rodas were found to be fallen ones. They killed a professor who followed them and ran away. Now the monastery is offering a reward for both of them." Speaking, Dylan handed the newspaper in his hand to Zhu Peng, and Zhu Peng took it and browsed it briefly, and then he set it aside.
"This professor is brave, but he is too impulsive and reckless." Before entering the legend, there is no qualitative difference between the first, second, and third life forms, and a third-tier expert who has experienced many battles may be trusted. The people of slashed in the back, especially the professor who has not participated in the battle for a long time. When faced with the various weird and singular abilities and fierce and decisive killing intent of the fallen, even if the real strength is stronger, the possibility of being forcibly released Sex is too high.
"They used various means to forge and refresh their mission records. By the time they were discovered, these two guys had killed nearly 20 interns in a few years. Weixi, if you didn't accompany us last time To complete that task, we will all die too?" After entering the room, after passing the newspaper, Dylan slammed herself into the sofa so quietly, Zhu Peng could clearly feel her abnormal depression.
"It's not necessarily my reason. Maybe those two guys think you are not easy to deal with, because they are afraid that they will miss the net, so they chose to stop halfway. Why, plan to chase and kill those two guys?" Chopping vegetables, beating eggs, and experimenting Boil noodles in a beaker. There are no chili and vinegar in this world. Zhu Peng has prepared some medicines himself. Eating is very important. As long as conditions permit, Zhu Peng will always satisfy his stomach as much as possible.
"Messi broke a hand... Most of her ten years of hard practice have been abolished. Kudas's scumbag comforted her, but I had a little girl who told me that he was dating a senior sister. Damn, this crap, but I can’t tell Messi.
While talking, Dylan began to cry, Zhu Peng frowned slightly, then walked over and picked up the girl’s shoulders to pull her up, and he leaned toward the girl. Smell gently between his nose and mouth.
"...Dylan, don't lie to me, are you taking the medicine." Dylan's emotional performance is too unstable and too abnormal, and there are indeed many people in the Devil Hunters who are addicts/drunkards/gamblers.
"Sorry, Weixi, but now only one can make me feel a little better. I, I am going crazy." Remorse, self-blame, pain, and powerlessness, these strong negative emotions are indeed about to be around twenty years old. The little girl was driven crazy.
"That kind of thing will not really help you solve the problem after all. What's the point of avoiding it? People's emotions are kept at an average value most of the time. There are high tides and lows. Use medicine to forcefully stimulate your emotions and make yourself excited. Get excited and wait until the mood drops to a trough, that kind of unusually uncomfortable feeling of emptiness will make you want to die." Looking at the girl in front of her who had completely collapsed and lost her mind, Zhu Peng knew that even if she took off her pants, she had a haircut. I don't even know how to refuse, a guy who is completely destroyed by emotions and feelings, there is no human will at all.
Shaking his head, Zhu Peng went to the side to cook the noodles, and then he took two large bowls and came to the girl and handed her a bowl.
Dylan seems to have not eaten for a day, and Zhu Peng cooked the noodles so fragrantly, the girl picked up the fork and swallowed, her nose and tears flowed from the hot pepper and vinegar in the noodles, but she took her sleeves. Wipe it, still sipping the hot soup, and the feeling of the hot soup flowing into his body made Dylan feel as if he had come back to life again.
"For the sake of friendship for so many years, I am accommodating you for the last time. But if you take the medicine again next time, I will trouble you not to come to my house, let alone show up in front of me." After these words, Zhu Peng pushed the groggy Dylan on the sofa, took off her shoes, and found a thicker dress to cover the girl. After all, Zhu Peng appreciates a girl who is serious, strong, and has a sense of justice, so she will be kind enough to enlighten her. In other words, it is inevitable that a two-hundred-year-old old man will have a good time as a teacher.
Dylan’s biggest mistake was that she was too eager. Just after graduating, she brought a group of people to take over the college tasks. The normal process should be for newcomers to submit their resumes and ask the elderly to bring them. The salary requirements for good grades are higher. The treatment requirements for poor grades are lower.
Men should work harder. If a beautiful girl has a lower sense of chastity, she will learn faster when sleeping with her teacher, she will have a higher safety factor, and will be easier to go to a teacher.
And Dylan is proud. She has not experienced any setbacks. She has directly stepped through too many steps that should be followed, and directly formed her own demon hunter team. It is normal for death and disability to appear, or the old demon hunter team. It is impossible to avoid such a thing completely, after all, this is the life of licking blood.
Dylan always wanted to pull Zhu Peng into the group, but Zhu Peng didn’t agree. He didn’t come to this world to watch the children. He chose to complete the task alone and at the same time began to collect information about the fire 19 years ago. Weixi’s personal request first Finish, and then try to lock the space plane coordinates of this world. As for Charlotte, instead of deliberately looking for it, she will naturally encounter him in the process of locking the world plane coordinates. Zhu Peng landed in the western hemisphere, Xia It is also very possible for Lott to fall into the Eastern Hemisphere, especially when Charlotte Bourne is extremely picky, and the source quality energy is insufficient in the end, and she is forced to bounce back. This situation may also happen.
Charlotte has some mental hygiene, forcing Zhu Peng to clean her whole body every day, which is considered as one of her few shortcomings...or, it is not a shortcoming at all.
After a while, the Demon Hunter team formed by Dylan was still on the verge of collapse. At first, these young people thought it was good. They didn’t need to be exploited by their predecessors. The mission income was relatively high, but if something happened, it would be like the assassin Messi. This kind of disabled Dylan couldn't make arrangements at all, even if she had tried her best, in the end she had only emptied her fortune to give Messi a little more money.
Seeing Messi’s tragic situation, other people in the team also began to retreat. The veteran Demon Hunter team system is relatively complete, and the social network is huge. Even if similar problems occur, there is a place to settle down, or to perform some relatively safe tasks with veterans, and accidents The odds are also lower. Dylan needs to be strong and firm, but still can't stop the team's stellar flow.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Who?"
The door was knocked lightly, and Zhu Peng asked when he moved forward from the computer and asked.
"... Senior Wisie, me, this is Kelly."
(Kelly!?) After thinking for a while, Zhu Peng just thought of Dylan’s best friend. She looked like a child, but her were unusually plump and strong. According to Dylan, she was originally an airport and airbag. After holding and kneading for two years, I just knead it into a small cow and air bag. It seems that no matter how it changes, the attributes of the air bag are fixed.
Open the door and look at the little airbag outside the door... Oh, it's Kelly.
"How did you find this? Come in and sit down." Zhu Peng let Kaili into the room sideways, while he returned to his seat and watched the "wild beast assault" on the Panshan Highway in Baipu Town.
The whole scene was horrible. The lovers seemed to be torn apart by some unknown big beast. The whole murder scene was filled with a terrifying animality and madness. However, the strange thing was that the car they were driving obviously crashed. The windshield was smashed into cracks, but there was no dead animal on the scene.
"Vision senior."
"Huh!? Oh, Kelly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't react to it for a while, are you drinking coffee or soda?" Zhu Peng, who has roughly set the next mission goal in his heart, stood by patted his forehead. Get up and start to greet the school girl.
"I, can I follow you? Just give me the lowest allocation quota, twenty-eight points, not nineteen points, I want to perform tasks with you." It's like mustering the courage of my life, blond Little Cow...Oh, it was Kaili who said so seriously, her eyes were looking straight at Zhu Peng, her tight fists were shaking.
I looked at Kelly and then at the computer screen.
"Drink soda, my classmate brought me a box, but I haven't drunk a bottle of it. I hope you will like it because of the orange flavor."
"Huh? Okay, okay, thank you senior."
"Dian Huo Bing, which department is he majoring in? What kind of spells do he excel at, and what equipment do he have at present?"
"I am majoring in fire and ice defensive spells. The best spell is fireball. I currently have a magic ring on my body... I am very accurate in throwing fireballs. As long as I am not nervous, my accuracy rate when hitting a moving target is also 9%. Fifteen or more is the most accurate fireball in our class." It seems that she also knows that her data is a bit miserable, so Kaili hurriedly added her advantage project.
In fact, Kelly has no choice but to find a senior Weixi who has only a few sides. Sister Dylan’s team is panicked. It is obvious that she is going to leave soon, and she needs work and money, but Kelly is with strangers. When I was nervous, I didn’t perform well. After interviewing a few veteran demon hunters, they found out that they were nervous. They either directly brushed themselves off, or they obviously had other thoughts in their mind. Thinking back to the mission a few months ago, when I was with Senior Weixi, I didn't seem to be nervous at all!
"There is no need to divide the accounts between 19 and 28. Let me divide the accounts for four or six. At the same time, I must have the absolute right to get the items. Don't be happy. You and I will perform a task together. If you can, I will keep you. You If not, it will be the first and last time.
Looking at the crime scene in the computer screen, Zhu Peng estimated in his heart that he really needed a remote high-attack assistant. Originally Dylan was a good choice. , But her paladin profession overlaps with Zhu Peng's profession.
……………………
Two days later, at night, on the winding road, a dilapidated jeep was racing at high speed in thick fog.
"Senior Weixi, you didn't take the task, why are you here?" Kaili, who had just become someone's assistant, took a map and asked suspiciously. She has no longer looked so tight in the past two days.
"If you want to use the rules, you must first understand the rules, don’t you know? If you can preempt the academy’s task release and solve the problem first, then the task rating can be increased by one. In other words, it is the bonus of the c-level task and the b-level. Level b mission a level funding."
"But didn't the reports say that this was a large beast attack?"
"Then where is the beast that was hit? Can you tell me what normal creature was hit by a high-speed car, but it showed obvious marks on the front of the car without any damage? Brown bear?" During the conversation, he came to me. At the scene of the homicide case, a man and a woman got out of the jeep after parking the jeep on the side of the road. The place has been cleared very clean, and there is no trace of two deaths on the clean road.
"Although it is unlikely that there will be any remaining traces, we still look for it carefully. If we can't find a clue, we will start the search from the nearest cemetery. The police will not search the cemetery, but we must search. "Holding the flashlights, the two began to search separately. A black crow was flying in the thick forest fog. It fell on the branches from time to time and looked at the two humans below. In the East, this type of bird is called a complaint. Dead birds, as long as they appear, it means that someone is about to die.
(If that thing dared to attack us directly, things would be simpler. But it seems to be restraining its appetite and has a certain degree of rationality.) Since ancient times, it has been chaotic and teasing. The demons are definitely one of the best battles among the heavenly planes. Race, put demons, demons, and angels in one area and let them strangle each other. Most of the time they crawl out are demons, but their brains are often not good, or they rely on violence and use violence directly when they encounter everything. To solve it, but the higher-level demon can break through innate restrictions and possess its own sanity. When a big demon can be cunning like a devil, its strength must already be terribly strong.
At the same time, demons who are rationally restraining their desires and needs tend to have the potential to advance to higher-level demons, just like Zhu Peng and Kaili's opponents this time.
Holding a flashlight to search around, about half an hour later, Zhu Peng dug out a smartphone with a broken display screen among the withered yellow forest leaves. The holy light between Zhu Peng's fingers diffused slightly, and there was a slight popping noise around the smartphone. Although it was only a moment, it was enough for Zhu Peng to be sure that it was indeed what he was looking for... Residual lifelessness, resentment, and consciousness. The object is repelling the Holy Light energy.
(Use only a little, save some.) With this thought, Zhu Peng turned the fate card, and in an instant, a huge amount of information flashed in front of his eyes. The concert, Jeff, the dense fog, the figure, and the hostess finally The screams of dying, all of this merged into a faint white line in Zhu Peng’s eyes, extending from his feet to the distance. As Zhu Peng’s life status continued to rise, the power of the destiny card became stronger and stronger. Up. More than a hundred years ago, Zhu Peng felt that the devil card was the strongest, the fate card was the second, and the oath card was the weakest. After more than a hundred years, as he was promoted to the demigod rank, the power of the destiny card became stronger and stronger. The oath effect of the oath card is getting stronger and stronger, only the devil card has not changed. Of course, it has no room for change, it is just a set of hidden demon blood.
"Let's go Kelly, I think I found the clue." In the middle of the night, I kept walking along the faint white beam of light. The fog was dense, the cold wind was getting more and more bitter, and the black crows were flying, that unassuming. The wings are as if they are the wings of death, someone will return to the underworld tonight.
"Kelly, shoot all the black crows close to us with fire bombs. Didn't you say that your fire method is very accurate? Let me see." Although I don't understand why, Kelly still complies with Zhu Peng's request. , The flames flowed between her slender and white palms, shooting out one by one, instantly hitting the black crows on the surrounding branches to a half-cooked state.
After walking for five miles, passing by the ancient tomb of the town, I met with the old tomb-keeper. The old man took a shovel and looked at the men and women who behaved strangely without fear. Kaili playfully stuck out her tongue to the old man and followed. Zhu Peng, who ignored the other party at all, left, and the last two came to a dilapidated stone tower. Here you can still vaguely see the magnificence of the past, but the glory is gone, and more of what remains is burning. trace.
"What are you doing here? Reporter or detective?" The old voice rang from behind, and Zhu Peng slowly turned around when he heard the words. What he saw was the old grave guard with a shovel, but he was holding it at this moment. It wasn't a shovel anymore, but a shotgun that covered the blow with iron sand.
………………………
"Neither a reporter nor a detective seems to be under the jurisdiction of your old man. Your responsibility seems to be in that cemetery. Is it really okay for you to leave there so late?" Squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the old man in front of him. , He was once a strong man, and his face can be seen faintly from the traces of the old handsome man, but he is now old, and the hand that used to hold the sword is now holding a shotgun and still faintly shaking .
"It is my duty to defend the peace of all the dead in this town and this area. And I have a gun in my hand, you better listen to me."
"You are gone now." Zhu Peng raised his hand and threw a black iron block, and knocked the shotgun in the hands of the grave guard to the ground. The old man quickly bent over to pick it up, but the two flying knives were already one step ahead. Nailed to the side of the shotgun, his body froze at this moment.
"Don't waste time. The old-fashioned shotgun in your hand is not even as long as the throwing weapon. I can tear your throat anytime I want. Take a sip of the bar, such a cold day, and your age. "The iron block that Zhu Peng threw first was a gray square hip flask. He took long medicine wine to strengthen his fists and help his vitality and blood, but he never greedily drink more.
The old man's figure froze for a while, and then he gave up his plan to pick up the shotgun. Instead, he picked up the gray iron flask, unscrewed the lid and poured himself a sip, which was different from any wine he had drunk before. Spicy and strong, there is no special flavor, and the body warms up in an instant.
"Huh... let's talk, what do you want to know?"
"About this burnt tower, about the two young men who died some time ago, maybe about you."
"And about me, I'm just a more dedicated tombkeeper."
"From your hands and body shape, you should be an excellent warrior wearing iron armor and holding a big sword in your prime of life... This TM has to be pushed forward for two hundred years. A legendary warrior finally got mixed up with a shotgun. Guard the tomb, tell me you are poor, two hundred years of wealth accumulation, two hundred years of network accumulation, two hundred years of rich experience, even if you are dying, your wisdom can still make you live better than this world Most people are more comfortable.
Zhu Peng and Kaili face the old grave guard with their backs to the tower. The doubts in him are more and more bizarre than the tower pointed to by the destiny card.
"There is no such thing as wisdom. I was a stupid when I was young, and I am still the same now. On such a night, there are two outstanding young people like you listening to me telling the old stories of the past. Hehe, it is a rare opportunity. "
"About two hundred years ago, on the eve of the Great Revolution, that was the last glory days of the feudal aristocracy. The land you stepped on belonged to the glorious Countess Dracula at that time. She was beautiful and beautiful when she was young. The dignified etiquette is famous all over the world. Although the education of the nobles is cruel, it also taught her nobility and dignity. She and her husband run the family hand in hand. In the most prosperous period of the Dracula family, even the king was indebted to them...but Probably because of the prosperity that went against the tide of the times, the Dracula family was too conspicuous when the entire aristocratic class was declining. In a war, Earl Dracula, who never failed, died. The countess inherited his name and surname, and at the same time became the most powerful and wealthy lady of that era."
"At a palace banquet, the countess met the handsome and affectionate young nobleman Istfan, and the two fell in love. However, the affair between the two was firmly opposed by Istfan’s father. He forced himself His son was sent abroad to find a younger marriage partner for him. The countess could not accept the loss of her lover and the pain of youth passing away. In order to regain her beauty, the countess secretly murdered six hundred and fifty virgins and used their Bathe with blood."
"Finally, when the secret was revealed, the kingdom, the leaders, and the nobles all stood on opposite sides of her, and even the beloved lover of the countess, Estefan also accused her of crimes...hehehehehehe" At the end of the story, Zhu The tomb-keeper in front of Peng and Kaili was obviously unable to control his emotions, and all the secrets seemed to be sorted out with this story.
"...You, you are Estefan? You finally held a taboo ritual, wanting to awaken the lover who died for you?" When she said this, the little cow Kelly had tears in her eyes, the woman It seems that this kind of story of men falling for love is the most unbearable ~ EbookFREE.me~ However, Zhu Peng shook his head gently and sighed on one side.
"Little girl, I'm sorry that my answer broke your yearning for a beautiful love story. But as a demon hunter, you should have the basic logical reasoning ability, the one who only loves to seduce women, East Fan, is it possible for him to become a legendary warrior?" When he said this, the old man punched his chest with his fist, making a hollow bang.
"It's me, it's me Earl Dracula has returned again. The king's poison failed to kill me. The weak old thief couldn't understand the vitality and thirst of a powerful warrior. Instead, I was tempered by the poison. Break through Tier 3 and become a legend! Wake up, Elizabeth, let me see you again."
boom!
In the high tower behind Zhu Peng and Kaili, a plank on the ground suddenly exploded, and a ghost-like swift shadow sprang out, protruding its claws and rushing towards Kaili's back neck.
At the same time, Earl Dracula also rushed to his shotgun. He was indeed weak enough to die at any time. As a legendary warrior, he could not wear heavy armor and could not hold a big sword. He had to obtain it with gunpowder weapons. The final combat power is the humiliation that many powerful warriors would rather die than bear in the Middle Ages, just like no alchemist can use firearms or weapons, without that stubbornness, and can't cultivate a deep realm.
