In addition to supernatural creatures, hunters often have to face the incomprehension of their family members and the obstruction of law enforcement agencies.

Not all monsters are like Wendigo. They can’t even say a word. Many monsters are very good at using ordinary humans. They will pretend to be innocents or even victims, creating obstacles to hunters’ demon hunting operations.

Although Benny has been a hunter for a short time, he has stayed with John and Bobby for a long time and has a good understanding of the hunter's living conditions.

Before thermal weapons were invented, especially in the era when materials were extremely scarce, the living environment of hunters was worse than it is now.

Take ghosts as an example.

Ghosts are afraid of salt and iron. This is the basic knowledge that all hunters know. In the modern age with abundant supplies, even if hunters are not prepared, they can choose a hardware store and buy iron chains when they encounter ghosts, or they can enter a convenience store and buy a lot of salt.

But in the era of scarce materials, salt and ironware are very scarce, and it is not easy to obtain them. In that era, hunters often had to be fully prepared, and their lives were used as bait, and they would only take action after they were fully sure of it. After killing the ghosts, they have to recover the salt...

In modern times, especially after the invention of firearms, hunters have gained a great advantage in the fight against supernatural creatures.

In the past, the only way to kill the ghost with salt was to wait for the ghost to get close. Now you can make a bullet from the salt block and shoot it out with a shotgun to disperse the ghost.

There are several boxes of such bullets in John's impala trunk.

Not to mention the legendary Colt gun mentioned by John several times. According to legend, it can kill almost all creatures, except God, angel, Eve, death and dragon.

Although Benny has been complaining about this legendary weapon, which claims to be able to "kill everything", it is a bit tasteless, but it is undeniable that its power is far superior to most conventional weapons.

...

After talking about the hunter's situation, neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere in the car was a bit low.

Tang was lying in the passenger seat, perhaps because the ghost pinched his heart and wasted a lot of energy before, perhaps because he had been hiding with Benedong for several days and did not rest well. Soon Tang fell asleep in a daze. .

Benny glanced at Tang frowning and shook his head.

He knew Tang's plan, and he guessed it when Tang asked.

Tang wants to "recruit" hunters to cooperate with the FBI to help solve cases, especially cases involving suspected supernatural creatures.

But Benny knew that even without his introduction, the hunters would not cooperate with the government. This is not only a fact that has been presented before, but also a lesson from history.

Those witches who were burned to death are a living example.

Moreover, hunters are usually free and undisciplined, and they certainly can't stand official restrictions.

If this idea was feasible, the FBI would have attracted a large number of hunter consultants.

You don't need to look at Benny to guess that at least half of the hunters are on the FBI's list of wanted persons.

...

The female ghost's hurricane speed is not without benefits.

After experiencing a hurricane comparable to flying speed, their itinerary was shortened by half, and it only took Benny over a day to enter the borders of Washington.

Stepping into the administrative area of ​​Washington, this eye-catching CIA car can no longer be used.

The two of them randomly found an underground garage to dispose of it, and after tens of thousands of dollars in exchange, Tang got another Chevrolet Chevelle.

Sitting in the brown retro car, Benny looked around the interior of the car, and strange feelings came to his mind.

After enduring it for a long time, Benny couldn't hold it back after all.

"Tang, have you heard of SHIELD?"

Tang Yi was stunned when he was driving to the outskirts. After subconsciously scanning the car interior, he looked at Benny weirdly.

"Don't look at me like that, you know, I've been wandering around various institutions and never got into the core. It's normal to ask this kind of question, after all—"

Benny shrugged and pointed to the car under his ass.

Tang shook his head and laughed. "I only read it in comic books. If the NSA is really relieved to publish state secrets in comic books, S.H.I.E.L.D. should exist."

Benny rolled his eyes and felt that the question he was asking was very stupid, so he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Where are we going?"

"A safe house. I built it in secret myself."

Tang said seriously.

Just now they were close to the city and circled around, and they had a basic understanding of the defense situation in Washington as a whole.

The situation is not optimistic. This prosperous city has become very unfamiliar. At almost every entry and exit of the city, there are related cards. A large number of armed forces are stationed by the road. Teams of soldiers are armed with live ammunition and are ready to start war at any time.

The NSA seems to have completely let go, and regardless of public opinion and social influence, it just puts the armed forces on the bright side so carelessly.

Benny nodded and didn't say much.

When I came to Washington, I came to Tang's site. As the head of the FBI department, Tang has been operating here for many years and has his own methods. Benny believes that Don can handle the situation well.

...

Benny thought that the safe house in Tangkou was in the suburbs of Washington, or even in the forest. In fact, they did stop in front of a small wooden house hidden in the gray bare woods. But the "hut in the woods" with the roof collapsed in half does not look like a safe house.

Benny has been in various organizations at any rate, and he still remembers a few basic elements of the safe house very clearly.

Three elements of a safe house:

1. It is sufficiently concealed and ordinary, not easy to be found by others, and will not arouse the curiosity of ordinary people and break in;

2. The vision is wide, so that special situations can be discovered as early as possible, and enough time is allowed for arrangement and response;

3. It is easy to retreat and has a good traffic environment, so that it can be ready to retreat at any time;

This "hut in the forest" is neither concealed nor ordinary, and it does not have a wide view. The only thing that has a slight touch with the safe house is probably the ease of retreat.

How can such a place look like a safe house, but more like a haunted house, the kind that attracts young people to explore.

Don didn’t know what Benny was thinking. After he got out of the car, he didn’t walk into the cabin. Instead, he came to the house and stomped on the ground a few times. Come with a plank.

Pulling open the plank, inside is a cellar that is not too spacious. Tang looked up at Benny and jumped down.

Benny pursed his lips and jumped down.

The cellar was a little dark. Tang fumbled on the wall for a while before he found the switch turned on. Accompanied by a slight electric current "sizzling", the dark cellar was illuminated by incandescent lamps.

Benny stood in place and looked around the cellar.

Although this cellar is narrow, it is full of internal organs. There are many firearms hanging on the walls, and boxes of ammunition are neatly stacked in the cabinet below. Benny even found a box of grenade and tear gas in the corner.

Except for the weapons, there is a large wardrobe in the bottom of the cellar, and the mirror in the wardrobe is covered with dust.

Tang opened the closet, took out a lot of cosmetics from it, and beckoned to Benny.

"The conditions are limited, just disguise it briefly."

As Tang said, he pressed Benny on the chair and started to work on his face.

He first put a layer of foundation on Benny’s face, then took out a tuft of red cream and applied it on Benny’s face, followed his cheeks all the way to the neck and deep into the clothes, and then took a tube of light yellow. The oily liquid started to wipe Benny’s face.

"Your identity is Texas Redneck, Hammond, remember to change your accent."

Tang fiddled and ordered, and soon Benny turned into a red-faced Texas red neck with a greasy face. Tang Liyuan looked up and down for a while, then took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet.

Click--

His hand lifted the knife and fell, before Benny could stop him, his hair that had just picked up was shaved mercilessly by Tang.

Benny stared at the hair scattered on his legs and fell into a dullness.

Tang put down the scissors, took out the blade again, carefully cleaned up all the stubble on Tang's head, then applied a thick powder, and then oiled it, a bald red, shiny and shining "marinated egg". This was born.

"This dress needs to be changed too. I'll find it for you—this one is not bad, try this one too—"

Tang began to look for clothes in the cabinet, a pair of white jeans and shiny down jacket were stuffed into Benny's arms, and Benny came back to his senses.

He raised his head and glanced at Tang Bushi's hair volume, his eyes a little bit resentful.

Benny pursed his lips, changed his clothes without saying a word, stood in front of the mirror and looked at his bald red head, becoming more silent.

"Well, my craftsmanship didn't disappoint you, Hammond."

Tang stood aside and asked with a smile.

"Well, it's not bad, I'll change it for you later, let you see the gap."

Benny said blankly.

Tang touched the back of his neck, feeling a bit cold behind his back inexplicably.

It's still winter, and I have been tossing for a while, and I haven't had a good rest. Maybe this is the reason.

Tang thought so, and sat down in a chair.

Benny took the makeup bag with a smirk and looked at Tang's face, his eyes glistening.

"We both act together. Since I am a red neck from Texas, you have to explain it too."

Benny said, grabbing the puff and putting it on Tang's face. Then, according to the order in the memory, he reproduced the things that Tang had just done to him.

"Wait," Tang finally couldn't help it when it was his hair's turn. He raised his hand under the scissors and asked carefully, "Is the hair unnecessary?"

"It's necessary." Benny looked at Tang with the most sincere eyes, and said vowedly, "Believe me, Tang, I've been to Texas, the people in that place are all bald-headed."

After finishing speaking, Tang's hand was pulled away without any explanation, and a black hand was raised against Tang's thick hair...

For a long time, when two red, bald and greasy marinated eggs were placed side by side in front of the mirror, they were speechless.

"In fact, we can make up as people from other states."
