The Demon Hunter

The four divided into two teams, Ansel and Lance took a road that didn't need to go through the village, and sent Martha to the nearest city.Coloin and Evan went back to the village, took their salute and horses, and taught some bastard a lesson.

Originally, Evan, the pastor, was more suitable to help Martha arrange a job in the church, but the little guy was obviously too innocent. He first contradicted that human beings are more evil than demons, and some demons could save people, and then he deceived that Poor and kind woman—even though it was Ansel who came out, he didn't really tell a single lie, he just kept silent, but deception is deception.

In order not to show his face, Evan became the one left behind. Ansel probably thinks that Coloin, who is beautiful like a "princess doll", is not used to lying, even though he always bickers with Ansel, and The two were evenly matched.In the end, the ones who left were Ansel, who thought he had turned lying into an instinct, and Lance, who had always been calm and paralyzed.

"If you don't know how to teach that man a lesson, you can wait for me to come back." When they parted, Ansel whispered.

"Don't worry, we are more creative than the elderly." Cologne waved his hand, signaling Ansel to stop talking nonsense and leave quickly.

"Well, I'll appreciate your creativity when I get back. But remember, no matter what you do, I don't want to come back with a bunch of villagers chasing after you with pitchforks—hunters have a very good reputation." important."

"You really look like a grandpa, Ansel."

So the old man rolled his eyes and finally walked away.

"So, Coloin, do you think there are really kind demons in this world? Of course, you half-breeds are not included. Uh, I don't mean to offend." Walking on the road leading to the village, it was probably because the surroundings were too quiet, Or maybe Evan felt that he needed the help of others instead of digging into the corner himself, so he spoke up anyway.

"No need to explain, little guy." Evan protested with a "hey". After all, in terms of age alone, he is definitely older than Coloin, who is under one year old, but Coloin ignored that, and he continued , "Actually, do you really think demons are evil?"

"What? Don't you?"

"You eat meat, too, right? Pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, cut them, drain their blood, cut their muscles and internal organs, stuff them with salt, sugar, and other spices..."

Evan was a little disgusted by Cologne's description: "Those are just animals!"

"To the devil, we are only human."

"But animals can't speak, they don't have emotions, they're different from humans."

"You're not them, how do you know they don't have feelings? How do you know they don't have their own way of communicating?"

"Because we eat meat, is it reasonable for the devil to eat us?"

"Have you ever seen a herbivore that is honestly eaten? Even a rabbit stomps an eagle to death (Evan's eyes widened), haven't you seen it? I'll tell you more about it when I have a chance. I mean Just, don't always label this world with good, evil, justice, darkness, etc. Demons eat humans, because humans are delicious food. Demon hunters hunt demons, because we will die if we don't, at least I do this for my life." The seal on his chest hurt, and Cologne knew that it was just a psychological effect. In fact, from the day of the branding, it was very honest and did not hurt.

During the following journey, Evan fell into silence again. It seemed that what Coloin said did not free him from the conflict, on the contrary, it made him feel more confused and confused.

Then they made their way back to the village, and when Coloin could see those up to the lawn roof, he stopped and moved his neck awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Evan walked a few steps before realizing that Cologne remained where he was.

"It's okay." Cologne said, of course he couldn't tell Evan that he felt a little disappointed and bored. He actually missed the experience of hanging by a thread during the last hunting. If they didn't meet a demon who likes to make out with his prey, And Cologne is indeed a special physique, and now they are already the feces of hellhounds.

But he actually missed those, those dangers and fears, but they also made people excited, nervous and concentrated. He even missed the shock and pain his body suffered when he was slapped by the three-headed dog. Of course he is not a masochist, but that A confrontation, a fight!Of course, there is also the sweetness of the soul melting into the body when he ends a life...

He didn't know if those devil boys were too weak, or because he hadn't transformed. Killing those devil boys this time didn't make him experience that feeling again.

Cologne shivered, terrified that he would miss that—does it mean that he was a hidden pervert in the first place?Or is it the other half of this body that belongs to the devil, the temptation to him?He licked his lips again, telling himself that everything was okay, that he could handle it and it would be okay.

They continued to move forward, but before reaching the village, some villagers ran out screaming: "Help! Help! Monster!" The villagers saw them as if they had seen a savior, and the human eyes filled up and their voices were hoarse.

Cologne and Evan, who didn't know what happened, could only follow them into the village, and then at the gate of the mill, they saw the target Hans who was supposed to be repaired.

The fat white man knelt on the ground, and slowly stretched out his hand to beg the people around him for help: "Help me, save me." His voice was dry and shrill, like that of a dying person.

At least from the naked eye, Evan didn't find anything wrong. After Cologne felt that the fat man was "almost ripe" last time, his subconscious told him this time that he was "fully ripe and ready to eat", but He still didn't understand what that meant.Until the fat man fell, when his body hit the ground, the sound was not a normal sound, but a "crack!", as if ooze fell on the ground instead of a human body.And the fat man who fell was indeed like a piece of soft mud, splashing out countless "mud spots", which were white, wriggling maggot-like little bugs.

There are always countless disgusting things in this magical world to test his psychological acceptance. This time, Cologne held back and did not vomit, while Evan beside him bowed his head and began to vomit without hesitation. Those who still had the guts to stay The villagers in the same place either vomited like Evan, or screamed hoarsely.

"Light the torch! Burn it!" Cologne dragged Evan back, and Hans was struggling for help again.

"But, but..." a person muttered, and it was only then that Coloin noticed that it was the village chief. "I mean, it's Hans, so there's no way to save him?"

"He's already dead, and even his soul has been eaten away. The one standing there is just a spirit devourer. At your age, you should have heard of that thing, haven't you?"

"Yes, yes." The village chief was taken aback for a moment, then nodded bitterly.

The earthworms on the earth eat the soil to make the soil more fertile, and the spirit devourers in the demon world eat the flesh and soul of the host—without the host even feeling it—and make themselves a delicious devil dessert.Just like the one on the ground, although his appearance is not good, he is to demons, just like a ripe peach is to humans, as long as you gently poke the skin, you can taste the sweet and juicy pulp inside (the worm Meat).And the uglier the soul, the more delicious it will be when it matures.

Cologne guessed that this should be the handiwork of those devil boys. After all, it would take at least one or two years for a human to fully mature—food always needs cooking time.

Hans struggled and screamed in the fire, and melted a little bit. He still had to bear the pain of being burned, because now it is true that the spirit-eating insects have completely swallowed him, but on the other hand, as long as there is one insect alive, his The soul is also alive.But the death of each bug would make him feel deep pain, so ordinary humans would die before being burned out, but he would suffer until the last moment, and then even his soul would disappear.

"The most boring task, except for killing them, it turned out that all the right things were done by those little monsters." Cologne kicked the dirt on the ground, and Evan was beside him, leaning against the wall, already He stopped vomiting, but his face was pale.

"I think he deserved it."

"I thought priests were forgiving."

"I'm not official yet. But I also know it's just that we killed those devil boys."

"Huh? But I thought they were doing good things."

"But a person just disappeared in pain and misery, not dead, but completely disappeared. He was vicious and annoying, but no one should disappear like that. Besides, those devil boys did that to a wicked person this time, But as long as you do it once, there will be a second time, and a third time, who knows if the person who will die next time will be a kind and good person?"

"..." Cologne frowned, looked at Evan as if he had just met him, and then he muttered in a very low voice, "I really don't know whether you got it or I got it."

"what?"

"Don't be so holy, little one."

Evan didn't quite understand the meaning of that adjective, he just frowned: "In short, I am no longer confused. I will continue to fight for justice!"

Cologne shrugged, this pastor is not "the Holy Mother", but he is already the incarnation of the Holy Mother.

Hans was burned to death, and Coloin and Evan helped the villagers check whether there were any remnants of the spirit-eating insects. Two days later, Lance and Ansel returned from the city, and they dug up the devil boys. Cut off their heads.Recorded in another city.

"Then we can still rest for a while, but I think you two had better choose whether to go to that tomb. After all, we have done a good job during this period of time. We don't need to go to such a dangerous place, so we can spend this year The rest of the share is accumulated."

"I'll go." Unexpectedly, Cologne and Lance said almost at the same time.

"Well, you choose, and I will do it." Ansel shrugged. As for poor Evan, the little guy has no voting rights for a short time...
