Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

The low bell rang, making the already dull and cloudy day even more depressing, as if it heralded a torrential rain.

"It's right here, the priest has been staying in the church. Usually, when everyone is hungry, they will come here."

The black skirt fluttered in the air, and Anita, like an energetic bird, nimbly walked in front of the hunter and the singer.

"Lord Priest will give us a 'Sacrament', which is fish and shellfish from the sea. I used to eat it when I was a child, but I can hardly eat it recently. The priest said it was a gift from the ocean - he is really amazing."

Although her body is a little thin, Anita is still full of the tenacity and vitality of life.

After Gao Qi and Skadi approached her and gave her a few pieces of candy from Kelsey, the little girl immediately confidently took over the task of taking the two to the Saltwind City Church.

"The priest would take us to recite some strange prayers every time. I haven't been to school, so I don't understand a lot of it... But he said that it is very necessary to be healthy, and there is nothing more important than a full stomach - oops!"

Suddenly, Anita felt her body light up and her feet were off the ground. Immediately, a gentle little hand touched the top of her head.

"Goddess of the sea... These lunatics really like to make up things. There are only terrifying Haizi in the sea. Where can there be any goddess."

Holding Anita in her arms, Scotty stretched out her little hand expressionlessly and rubbed her loose black hair.

"The sea belongs to everyone, not the **** of the sea, understand?"

Deep-sea hunters have white hair and red eyes per capita, and Iberians don't have many black hair. Scati has always been curious about the dark hair color of Gao Qi and Anita.

In addition, the woman named Kelsey had a cute pet that was also black, so Skadi suddenly became very interested in the hair of the two of them.

"It's so itchy, sister singer... I don't understand very well, but what you said must be right."

Anita wasn't afraid either, she just let Skadi stroke her, and even narrowed her eyes comfortably.

"I don't know if there is a sea god, but as long as you can eat it, it will be fine."

On the side, Gao Qi, leaning on a cane, sighed, pressed the hat on his head, and stood in front of the church door, observing the surrounding scenery.

"Ah, it's good that you two are happy."

Magnificent, heavy, restrained, and low-key, this is the impression that Gao Qi left when he first saw this church.

Different from the basic tone of white buildings, the largest building in the entire city is made of black bricks and stones. The spires and walls are engraved with some religious glyphs, which are solemn and solemn.

In addition, Anita's generosity and selflessness towards the "priest priest" makes it easy for people to believe that the priest in this church is a devout and firm believer.

But...that doesn't include Gao Qi.

"Tsk, the church, they even deliver seafood... You can really see people like this everywhere. They send eggs to trick old men and old ladies into listening to their sermons. This group of people can only do that."

For religious people, Gao Qi is mostly - not very favorable.

Whether it was the Deep Sea Cultist identified by Scati just now, or the Iberian Church represented by the Inquisitors, Gaochi didn't have a good impression.

After all, when he was in Yanan, whether it was the Healing Church that caused the spread of Yanan's lycanthropy disease, or the chorus that broke away from the Healing Church, they were all slaughtered by this old hunter from the inside out.

In order to pursue the true knowledge about the ancient gods of the superiors, these people have already abandoned their conscience, and they have done many human experiments.

They single-handedly caused the disaster in the city of Anan, but in turn they claimed to be the savior, enjoying the people's faith and leading the people's ignorance.

Maybe there are a lot of good people among them, but at least when Gao Qi passed by, the good people were all dead, but the scourge remained.

Compared with the Healing Church, which abandoned the people of Yanan and eventually went into decline, it is a heretic who believes in the superior. The old man in red in the small church is a little more reliable—although, she also has an impure purpose. .

And based on the information he investigated and collected within less than a day of coming here, Gao Qi also has his own judgment.

Anita said that many residents of Yanfeng City have become members of the church because they have something to eat because they joined the church. Recently, there have always been some residents who accidentally disappeared when they went out for food.

Kelsey, an "ordinary researcher", said that after she tried to contact several priests, she found that he seemed to be engaged in some secret activities in secret, which was very suspicious.

Obviously, this is Kelsey reminding Gaochie - she always knows more than she says.

However, she didn't know that Gao Qi knew more than her, more... omniscient than her.

Deep Sea Church, Gao Qi has basically been able to determine that the existence entrenched in this church is such a shameless sect.

He didn't need the complicated questioning and investigation work of an investigator, he directly brought Skadi to kick the door.

If he knew the plot of the original work, but he was still being played by the enemy, then he would be a shame for the transmigrator.

"The Church of the Deep Sea.... We fought with them for a long time, and they also caused huge damage to many Agor cities. We thought at first that they were all poor people controlled by Haisi - but we did not expect , they are all voluntary."

Putting down Anita, Skadi shrugged her white nose, took a breath, and the red in her eyes became brighter, as if full of fighting intent.

"The fishy smell of the sea, I can smell it, it's very similar to Hai Si, and it's very similar to the enemy - if you order, I will knock them all away."

Clenching the suitcase tightly, Skadi adjusted the hem of her bright red skirt and nodded to Gao Qi.

Skadi's heart beat faster, she could smell the prey.

Gao Qi also nodded, bent down, reached out and rubbed Anita's little head.

"Well, Anita, try to keep everyone away from this area, understand?"

She is not yet ten years old. She is naive and does not need to understand so many complicated things.

"I know, the clergyman is very good. Is there anything that bothers you when you come to him? Oh, the door is open!"

Anita nodded obediently, and then happily pointed to the gate.

The door of the church slowly opened, and a group of yellow-faced and skinny residents walked out of it.

Compared with the eyes that were hiding in the house and watching the outdoors vigilantly when they came yesterday, the expressions of these residents were less vigilant and more serene.

No, looking at the residents who could no longer hold back their hunger and began to stuff the palm-sized pieces of raw fish directly into their mouths, Gao Qi felt more...

"Brothers and sisters, enjoy your breakfast to the fullest. This is a reward for good deeds, only because hunger, thirst and sickness do not break us, but make us more sincere, more united, and more fraternal."

And behind the crowd, a quiet and gentle voice came out.

The bishop, who was wearing a green robe, held a golden scepter in his forehand, and placed the last few pieces of fish in the hands of the citizens who came to worship. His handsome face was full of indifferent smiles.

"Did you hear it? The sound of the waves, thump, thump, thump, is like the heartbeat of you and me. What you eat and drink is the gift of the sea. Brother, do you feel the abundant power coming from your mouth and stomach? , circulate hands and feet, reach the heart?"

In front of him, all the believers who participated in the service and dressed in tatters were full of gratitude on their faces.

"Thank you, clergyman, I will thank the sea, your language is the truth."

"The language of the ocean is the truth. Embrace the vastness in front of you. This is a new hope."

Just like that, a group of residents who got food quickly poured out of the entire church.

Not enough, obviously, they value the food in their hands more than the words of the priest, and they only care about this.

Among them was the fireplace that Gao Qi and Scotty knew well. When he saw Anita, he immediately ran to Anita's side happily.

"Then I'm leaving, brother hunter, sister singer, I hope you and the priest get along well."

Gao Qi smiled and waved goodbye to the girl. Then, together with Skadi, they silently looked at the interior of the church, which had become extraordinarily empty.

He could see that these citizens were more like domesticated than relief.

[No wonder, in the next few years, the residents here will become so confused. 】

In the church, the light was dim, and only a few candles were shining faintly.

"Welcome, welcome, I heard about you from Your Excellency Judge, Mr. Hunter, Miss Singer, you are the nurturers of body and soul, please come in."

Grinning at Gaoch and Skadi, Priest Quintus tried to suppress his impulsive desires.

Who would have thought that the deep-sea hunter who just failed to capture would be unprepared and foolishly throw himself into the trap?

Does she really think that the singer's fragile disguise will not be seen through at a glance?

"Today's 'Sacrament' has been distributed, but if you have any troubles to talk to, maybe old Quintus can answer your questions... After all, you and I are both siblings."

Inviting the two in a kind tone, Quintus turned around and walked towards the interior of the church.

With his long-term infiltration experience in northern Iberia, Quintus was well prepared to face a vigilant deep-sea hunter.

Although he was reluctant, Quintus removed the smell of the sea from his body.

Whether it was his tone of voice, his speech, his expression, or his interpretation of heresy teachings, he could pretend to be flawless, so that he perfectly matched the performance of Brother Rutland.

The fact is that neither the Lateran Tribunal nor the Iberian Tribunal could see through his disguise.

【As long as you can easily hold them for a while, my followers can cover this place with the most intensive gunfire, and the powerful reinforcements given by the messenger will also hold them back, not to mention the finalized weapon... And now, they I will only think that I am an ordinary priest. 】

Turning back, Quintus continued to force himself, and smiled at the two inferior creatures.

"Lost brothers and sisters, I'm honored to hear your confession—huh?"

Keng——

Ka-

When he turned his head, Quintus suddenly found that the white-haired girl in a red dress and the hunter in black had silently cut the huge black mechanical sword and the rusted meat saw that looked like a jigsaw. carried on the shoulders.

The two stared at Quintus, as if they had found interesting prey.

"Gao Qi, in this case, can we cut it?"

The red eyes reflected excited light, and Scotty couldn't wait.

"Yes, we can cut him - a quick fight."

Gao Qi sighed and silently drew his pistol.

Quintus' "gentle" smile solidified on his face.

"I don't understand, brother, I'm just an unarmed priest, and there's nothing to **** here, why—"

"I blame you for not being a cute and beautiful girl - SKIP! Skip the plot!"

The next second, the two hunters rushed forward at the same time, like lions sprinting towards the wildebeest.

They don't know what the plot is, and they don't know why they are here, they only know - they want to kill!

30. Shark - fish!

As the saying goes, the horror of horror games is often related to the level of firepower.

Think about it, you and your brother's car broke down on the edge of a no-man's-land.

You want to ask for help from a nearby village, but you see the carcass of a wild dog on the road.

You and your brother are hungry and your mouth is dry.

You walk to a remote small mountain village, the people in the village are withered, decayed and decayed, and you can still smell the smell of blood.

The other residents were not able to close their doors, and could only see eyes peeking out from the darkness, which was very strange.

Finally, you found countless religious runes drawn with blood in the assembly venue in the village. A strong butcher with a height of more than two meters was holding a blood-stained boning knife on top of the sacrifices just slaughtered. Constantly chopping.

And then, he found you, you are another sacrifice to the devil.

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention one more thing - your name is Dante, and your brother's name is Virgil.

Did the story suddenly change from your horror game to a monster horror game?

This is the situation Gao Qi is facing now, although the seaside Yanfeng City is full of decaying buildings, numb and hungry people, lawless cults, and monsters with chaotic powers.

However, he is not an unarmed fan of mysticism and folklore who has repeatedly failed his Will checks and succeeded his Inspiration checks again and again.

Gao Qi has hunted beasts, cleaned the church, and faced the gods. He is one of the ten outstanding young people of Yanan who helps others. Even Ludwig, the outstanding hunter cadre of the previous session, was sent to heaven by him.

In a small seaside town, a cultist who believes in strange giant squid is really nothing in the eyes of an old hunter who has seen cows, ghosts and snakes.

Of course, the most important thing is - he is also accompanied by a submarine Saiyan.

Even if Gao Qi didn't know the plot, he really took Skadi to investigate a few times in Yanfeng City. In the end, the two still had to kick the door here.

In the Cthulhu world view, it is best not to appear Ultraman and Saiyan, really.

In the dark church, the service had just ended, and all the civilians had left. After the door was closed, there were only three people left in the dark church.

Soon, there will be only two people left.

"It's up to you, Skadi! Use the water splash!"

Carrying the meat saw on his shoulder, Gao Qi waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Quintus, like a Pokémon trainer who couldn't win the championship - and Skadi, Shanai, who was destined to become his wife. Duo!

Although the first time he saw this "priest" who was young, did not look gloomy, and was still smiling, Gao Qi thought that the other party might not be Quintus, but an ordinary normal person.

However, when he heard the other party's words, Gao Qi could only sigh, time is indeed a pig-killing knife-a handsome guy when he was young, and when he is old, he will become the same person in the game as a ghost or a ghost. In the end it turned into two big anemones.

Of course, Gao Qi thinks more that this guy eats too much fish.

"Ha... I always feel like you're saying something bad, I said it, this trick is called—"

With a sigh, Skadi was used to the weird things that Gao Qi often said.
