God-level Demon Hunter

These two blank spaces were obviously left out on purpose. It seems that there should have been two names?

Vivien breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure enough, I'm not the only one who thinks so. It's obvious. What else is missing besides my brother's name?"

"Look again, there are a few more."

Vivien found a total of eight diaries, most of which have the same feature, a mysterious "he" running through it, the strange thing is that none of them mentioned the specific name of "him", or depicted "him". His "appearance, age.

But it is clear from the diary that "he" was close to Vivien and her family, and had attended school at Cadell House.

The last entry in the diary is October 1258, 10, which is less than half a month behind today's date.

"The alcoholic drank too much again and started losing his temper. He slapped me and choked me for money. I felt like he was really going to strangle me. I pushed him away desperately before I suffocated. He ran away from home crying.

…Worried about my safety, they also followed me. We ran to school together and chatted all night.

That night, the hornbeam lost a lot of leaves. "

……

Roy lay back on the chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, sorting out the messy information in his mind.

His first impression was that the contents of a diary completely contradicted what Principal Caddell said in the afternoon. Principal Caddell did not admit that Vivien had a brother at all, so how could he ask her to care about this non-existent person.

And when Roy recalled the scene at that time, Principal Cadell didn't seem to be lying at all.On the contrary, it was the woman next to her who was surprised and nervous, which made him even more suspicious.

An idea suddenly came to Roy's mind. Principal Cadell, Uncle Tross, Henk of the Mill, and the diary have all proved that Vivien has a drunken domestic violence father and a mentally unstable mother.If the two factors are added together, does this woman with impeccable appearance and personality have some kind of mental illness?

If this is the truth, then it all makes sense.

Compared to the claim that Vivien has a mysterious brother, Roy is more willing to believe that something is wrong with her mental state.

Roy observed the other person's expression. The woman's towering chest was heaving, her breathing was short, and her beautiful eyes were full of expectation.

"In the diary after October 1258, 10, did 'he' still appear?"

"It won't happen in the future, 'he' has completely disappeared from my world." Vivien shook her head lightly, with a pretty face that could not hide her disappointment, "The earlier time can only be traced back to 1256 before the appearance of 'he' , but I think the interval between the diaries before that is too long, and there is no reference value."

Roy tapped the table with his index and middle fingers, "After October 10, what is the date of the nearest diary?"

"November 11st, New Year's Day."

Roy took a deep breath after listening, "So 'he' is likely to have an accident between October 10th and the New Year, which is less than a month."

"Yes, I think so too." Vivien's tone trembled, "Roy, what do you think now? From the perspective of a witcher apprentice, do you believe me? Or do you think that I am like everyone else? A lunatic who made up a ridiculous kinship that only existed in the imagination."

Roy thought about it for two seconds, thinking that he couldn't stimulate the other party.

"There are many strange things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense, so Sister Feiwen, I believe in you. I will spare time to investigate the whereabouts of 'him'."

Although Roy already had a general idea in his mind, he couldn't jump to a conclusion. After all, he only got Vivien's confession. He had to find more conclusive evidence to support his conclusion, proving that all of this was just Vivien's. conjecture.

The woman stroked her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, with a touch of emotion in her beautiful eyes, she held Roy's hand tightly.

"I've heard the rules of the witcher, and I'll be ready to pay."

"No, we'll talk about the remuneration later." Although Roy didn't want to be a bad person, for someone like Vivien who has almost no selfishness and devotes himself to the Cadell House, if he has the ability, he will still help a bit.

The premise was that there was no great danger. He remembered the principle of a demon hunter, don't choose an invincible target.He wants to do a preliminary survey first.

"Then please, help me find 'him' together. But you must first pay attention to your own safety. Don't disclose it to others."

"I see."

Chapter 23 Inquiry

Roy was going to settle down and investigate the whole matter clearly, so the morning work would have to be postponed.

Before returning to the mill he called in old Ruhr at the poultry stand and Tross at the herb shop.

"Ask for leave tomorrow morning? Of course there is no problem. I have done a good job in the past half a month, and I will be paid if I take a day off." Tross readily agreed, "But I am a little curious, what can you do? Is it possible Edsberg got a girlfriend? Going on a date?"

"Little brother, as someone who has experienced it, let me remind you that spending money on women is a bottomless pit! Women's vanity will never be satisfied."

"Uncle Tross, don't make fun of me." Roy didn't hide it, "Girlfriends are far away from me. I'm going to the downtown area tomorrow morning to find someone. As for who it is, don't worry about it."

"Oh, then you must pay attention to safety." Tross's wrinkled face became very serious, and he solemnly told him.

……

Resting overnight at the mill, the next day, in the gloomy weather, Roy rushed to the lower town of Edsberg early in the morning.According to his thinking, to verify Vivien's words, he should first find the old alcoholic who came to school yesterday to ask for money, that is, Vivien's father.

No matter how drunk an alcoholic is, it is impossible for him to forget whether he has a young son.

In the past half a month, Roy had already figured out the address of Vivien's home. It was a dilapidated wooden house in the easternmost part of the lower city, and it was easy to find.And the reason why he chose to act early in the morning was because he was worried that he would run into the gangsters of the Sparrow Gang again.

But sometimes, people come to whatever they are afraid of.

As soon as Roy stepped onto the street in this area, the feeling of thorns on his back surged up instantly.

Glancing back from the corner of the eye, he could see a bald, strong man wearing a thick yellow cotton coat, black trousers, boots, and a tattoo on his neck following behind him.

At a glance, that face looks like Lei Suo, but the facial features and expressions of this guy are completely different from Lei Suo. Lei Suo is indifferent, but his face is full of hostility, as if his chest is full of anger, ready to explode at any time .

He is more than 6 by 4 inches (1.9 meters) tall, with a thick and short neck, and his cotton clothes are bulging. He is as strong as a grizzly bear standing upright.

At around six o'clock, the cold wind blows like a steel knife scraping the surface. At this time, there are very few pedestrians on the streets of the lower city. Most of them are still asleep, or have already gone to the market to work hard.

Roy pretended not to notice. He didn't try to yell or ask for help to attract the attention of others. Instead, he quickened his pace, left the spacious and flat street, and burrowed into the remote, dark, sewage-filled alleys around him.

The bald man sped up and followed.

Gradually, both of them started to trot, and chased for 5 minutes in the alleys extending in all directions, getting more and more remote.Until entering a dead end, a mottled high wall covered with moss and dirty water ruthlessly blocked Roy's way.

And the stalker behind him took out a handkerchief with medicine from his arms, and rushed towards his back with a grinning grin.

"This big brother... I haven't offended you, have I?" Roy turned around, smiled timidly and reluctantly, and showed his empty hands to the strong man who was thirty years away, "I have no threat to you at all." Can you spare my life, no matter how much money!"

Hearing this, the strong man who had already rushed to less than [-] years away from him slowed down his steps, with a greedy gleam in his long and narrow eyes, and said in a hoarse voice like a file, "Once you are subdued, everything on your body will come naturally." It belongs to me. But you can try to call for help and see if there is any good-hearted person to save you."

Compared with the strong man, Roy's size is like the difference between a child and an adult, and he can't see any weapons all over his body. In the eyes of the strong man, he is not the slightest threat.It's no different from the fat on the chopping board, so why not say a few words to give him a ride at the end?

"Ding... ding..." A pleasant and crisp sound sounded, and Roy threw a handful of yellow krona onto the dirty ground at the feet of the bald man without warning. The latter seemed to have never suffered such a special attack. , The whole person froze for a moment, and involuntarily squatted down to pick up the Krona on the ground.

"Are you from the Sparrow Gang?" Roy took the opportunity to ask a few more questions, "Now the local hooligans are so dedicated? It's not even seven o'clock, and you are squatting at the gate of the lower city. Aren't you cold?"

"Boy, if you want to blame it, blame yourself for being stupid! You believed in the wrong person." The bald man hurriedly stuffed two handfuls of crowns into his arms, and suddenly came to his senses, stood up and rushed towards him again.

"When you get to the mine, you--"

"Whoosh-"

The strong man's voice and movements stopped abruptly, and the last thing he felt was a sharp and short sharp pain in his right eye, and then there was no sound.

The huge body that was leaning forward aggressively was propelled by inertia, and still staggered two steps forward before falling heavily, kneeling on the ground, and then hitting the ground heavily with its face, as if it was hitting the young man who was close at hand. Kneeling and kowtowing.

Then, a cloud of blood gushed out from the two blood holes piercing through the skull, polluting the surrounding ground.

"Kill Fossa

Gain experience 20. "

A wonderful message flashed in the template. Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand crossbow disappeared. He walked over and patted the corpse, and the corpse disappeared.Looking at human corpses now, he felt the same as those dead animals.

He continued to take a few steps forward, picking up the krona left on the ground, and the arrowhead stained with flesh and bones, these two things were also taken into the space.

The whole space is basically filled.

Roy is very satisfied. In the past, crossbow arrows would definitely get stuck in the brain if they penetrated through human eye sockets. This time, the distance was less than ten minutes. Breaking open the strong man's skull, it seems that the skill bonus is more powerful than he imagined.

As for why he had to spend so much time with the other party, it was mainly because he wanted to clarify a problem.

It may be a coincidence that he was followed by the Sparrow Gang for the first time.But the second time, during this period of time, Roy understood that it was definitely not a coincidence, someone...sold him.

And there are only a few who know that he will come to the downtown area this morning, and when it comes to the motive of the last trip to the downtown area, the suspect is ready to come out.

The other party seems to have contacted the Sparrow Gang, planning to sell him to a private mine on Mahakam?

Roy sighed, suddenly lost interest, and felt betrayed by someone. After getting along with him for more than half a month, he already trusted that guy and thought he was a friend.

"Am I being too naive?"

After a few seconds, Roy left the alley.

Only the pool of filthy blood spoke of a killing that no one knew about.

……

Passing through the narrow alleys with cross-flowing sewage, in a fence surrounded by a row of tree branches, a low house is quietly located in the depths of the lower city.

Vivien's home was more shabby than Roy had imagined. The outer walls were cracked, covered with stains and cracks, and the roof had some leaks and was covered with black rags.

At this moment, a man with a bloated figure and a fleshy face was sitting on a tree stump in the yard in a daze, his cheeks were stained with a sickly blush, and his cloudy eyes were a little drunk.

"Hey, boy, who are you looking for? Why did you come to this place where no shit?" Bob glanced at a teenager outside the fence and asked impatiently. He always felt like he had seen this guy before, but alcohol His brain has been eroded over the years, and his memory has become very poor.

"You are Teacher Vivien's father, right?" Roy stepped into the fence, showing a shy smile. "I'm a student of Cadell's House. My name is Roy. I have something to ask you to understand."

"This is really a hell, what kind of situation do you want me to know?" Bob woke up from his daze, his eyes surprised, "If you ask me which tavern in the city has the best reputation and the least amount of water in the wine , I can tell you the answer, don’t bother me about other things, I don’t even know if I ask!”

Bob paused, "It's early in the morning, shouldn't you go to the Cadell House for class? Huh?"

He suddenly moved his nose, licked his lips and swallowed, showing a gluttonous appearance. A green wine bottle appeared in the hands of Roy who was standing across from him at some point, and he deliberately dangled it in front of his eyes.

Alcoholic Bob, who has been drinking for decades, can tell at a glance that this bottle is his favorite dwarven spirit.Because he had no money, he hadn't had a drop of alcohol for two days, and when he smelled this familiar and pungent smell, he instantly lost his resistance.

"Just ask, little brother! I'll answer any questions you have, as long as...just give me this bottle of wine!" Bob was like a patient suffering from addiction, his eyes were fixed on the bottle, with an exaggeratedly intoxicated expression .

Roy nodded in satisfaction. If he wanted to get an answer from the alcoholic, he had to do what he liked.

"Uncle Bob, go get a cup... I will let you drink every time I answer a question..."

"Okay, okay, wait for me, don't leave!"

……

"How many people are there in your family?" Roy shook a glass of clear and transparent wine in front of Bob, who immediately fidgeted restlessly on the wooden stake, his hands were like a pair of chicken claws strangely pointed at the wine bottle Xu Zhuo looked impatient,

"Three people." He replied in one breath, "Old Bob, my crazy old woman, and my daughter who doesn't know how to honor her elders."

"Think about it carefully!" Roy moved the wine glass in front of him, and quickly moved it away the moment he stretched out his hand.

"Give it to me, I said three people! You stinky little... No," Old Bob folded his hands, his loose facial muscles trembling, and said lowly to Roy, "I promise you, Roy, I swear there are only three people in the family. If I lie, I will never have a drink in my life!"

"Give!"

After Bob finished his glass of wine, he let out a long sigh of relief, looking happy and about to soar.

Roy looked at the other party's ugliness, and secretly reminded himself to be a warning.

He calmed down and continued to ask,

"Five years ago... ten years ago, did anyone else live in your home for a long time?"

"No..." There was a trace of anger on Bob's face, "I'm afraid of being entangled with me."

……

"Does Teacher Vivien have any siblings?"

"That stinky girl Vivien is an only child," Bob said firmly, "She doesn't have any brothers or sisters. Even if old Bob is confused after drinking, he is not mentally handicapped. It is impossible for him to forget how many children he has."

"Then, do you and your wife have any children who died in infancy? Does Vivien have any brothers and sisters who died in accidents?"

"Little brother, Roy, why do you ask such a strange question?" Bob endured the temptation of wine and asked, "What is the purpose of investigating my family so clearly?"

"You can answer," Roy shook the wine in front of him, "don't worry about anything else."

"Okay, then let me tell you, that old woman in my family gave birth to Vivien's child..." Bob sighed suddenly, "Actually, I also want to have more children, but unfortunately I drink too much, and I have health problems ... Can you understand, do you want me to explain it to you in detail?"

A quarter of an hour later, Bob, who drank a whole bottle of dwarf spirits, dozed off against the tree stump.

Before that, even in a state of half-drunk and half-awake, he had tried his best to deny that he had a son. Roy felt that in this state, he probably couldn't tell a lie.

……

Leaving behind the drunkard in the yard, Roy entered the dilapidated hut.

A woman with disheveled hair, a withered complexion, and a thin figure like a bamboo pole was sitting on the round table at the door, talking to the air with a strange expression.

Roy stood at the door and observed quietly for a while, then walked over and sat on the chair opposite her.

"This aunt, I..."

The woman didn't respond. Even if her eyes passed by Roy, she didn't seem to see him or hear him.

It seems to be immersed in the spiritual world of oneself.
