The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 1436: Shadow in the night

Although it is still impossible to judge the specific age and location of the current situation, Hao Ren can still reasonably reason from his surrounding building style and Vivienne’s handwriting record that he is going back to the “6 points” if the guess is correct. He and Lily should now be between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, and from the accent of passers-by, it should be French, but it is impossible to determine which city it is. ???

However, it can be said that the age has already provided great convenience. At least Hao Ren can determine what kind of identity he should be in the current historical period: an independent action safari hunter who is hidden in human society. .

Before he left, he learned more about the demon hunter to Hasselblad and White Fire. As the most powerful factor in the whole mythology, the race of the demon hunter is a group that Hao Ren has to deal with in the entire historical journey, and their information is the most vital information for this retrospective journey. After the cramming of the cramming, Hao Ren learned that even in the era of the most intense heat of conflict, the demon hunter is not a group of crazy hunters who are swayed by fanaticism and hatred, as they are imagined by ordinary aliens, even though they are indeed fanatic. And hate-driven, but their actions and organizational structure are always full of reason and discipline.

In addition to the sage group as the ruling body and the Presbyterian Church, which guards the Arctic and is almost never involved in the world, the forces that the Demon Hunter wanders around the human world are mainly divided into three categories:

The first category is the "Holy Army" equivalent to the frontal legion, also known as the "combat group". This compilation was very active during the mythological war. They appeared on the frontal battlefield with thousands of thousands of people, with tough force. Directly destroying all the ancient mythological kingdoms, it is the promoter of all the "dusks of the gods", but after the end of the mythological era, this first-line army lost its existential significance, so it gradually disintegrated and re-edited into the second and third categories. force;

The second type of force is the "hunting force", also known as the "hunting group". They are elite combat units composed of a small number of demon hunters. The number usually ranges from tens to hundreds, mainly active in the mythological era. In the dark days after the end of the myth and the end of the mythology, the army of the "God" has collapsed at this time, and there is no epic battle that has swept across the Great Plains of the Great Plains, but the exiles left after the "God" collapsed. Denominations and small-scale heterosexual worship are still secretly breeding. The so-called worms are dead and not stiff. These exile sects can often control one or two towns even if they are weak, and the "hunting corps" is a professional team used to deal with these stragglers;

The third type of troops can no longer be called troops. They are actually a completely fragmented armed force called the "safari." The safari is usually a single-action demon hunter, or an occasionally formed two-three squad. These combat elites are active in the same period as the second-class squad. They are masters of independent combat, crouching into humans in heterogeneous "deity" After the slit of civilization, these solitary battle elites tirelessly acted as sweepers, in the rural villages and wild places that the hunting corps could not take care of, which was where the safari hunters showed their talents.

The two armed sequences of the hunting squad and the safari are not completely isolated. Under certain conditions, they are actually one to transform each other: if the elite hunters in the hunting squad pass certain tests, they will be qualified to go out hunting alone, so that they It becomes a safari, and if there is an emergency (such as a group of residual heresy in a certain place), the safari hunter in the vicinity will be immediately convened to form a hunting corps to participate in the battle.

Hasselblad once told Hao Ren that the organization of the demon hunter is indeed full of discipline. However, even if there are loopholes in the tightly stitched group, the third type of force is the easiest to drill in the battle sequence of the demon hunter: Those safari hunters who live in isolation and are secretive.

In the wild areas where the heterogeneous "Embers" power is still strong, the connection between the safari hunter and the organization will be extremely weak. They will even penetrate the enemy's hinterland for hunting, and they will not be able to contact the outside world for half a century. Some extremely embarrassing prey, they will even completely change their face, and even keep their secret identity when they are in contact with other demon hunters. This sounds unbelievable, but under the premise of "congenital hostility", everything can be explained. Regardless of whether they are orphans, they are used to face-to-face to judge whether the people in front of the eyes are "non-family". As long as they see each other and do not have the urge to slash people, they can exclude the enemy. The process of confirming identity after the two demon hunters met was not as strict as imagined, especially between the safari and the hunter.

Now an "extraordinary" appears in this time and space, that is, Hao Ren: he is a complete "heterogeneous", but he does not cause innate hostility in front of anyone, which makes it easy for him to drill this maximum Empty space.

The insurance status he set for himself is a safari hunter.

In order to protect Wan Wanquan, he borrowed a complete set of demon slayer camouflage from Hasselblad before he left, all of which are genuine real guys, and only the hunter craftsmen of Colperth can make the demon hunters. With this set of things to go to ancient times, even if you run into the demon hunter, you don’t have to worry about being seen. However, he is now only equipped with a sacred silver dagger and some talisman and card, which can symbolize identity, because a safari hunter will not be fully armed at all times, disguising as an ordinary person is their consistent means.

The medieval French towns, like all other places in Europe during the same period, are shrouded in a dark and gloomy atmosphere. This atmosphere is especially rare at night: the curfew system prohibits people from going out during this time, and the vigorous witch hunting movement is even more intense. It is self-defeating, and the entertainment activities after the night are almost nothing. In order to prevent the swindlers from being exposed as "witchcrafters", the residents even dare not laugh loudly in their own homes: a cemetery-like silence Covered the town streets under the night.

Only the patrolmen and cavalry who visited the town dared to sway on the streets at this time.

The flames of the Renaissance have already ignited in the Italian cities, but the flame is still far from burning in a small town in the remote places of France, where the darkness is long-lived.

Hao Ren and Li Li walked between the empty streets and lanes, while paying attention to avoiding the night spectators who would cause trouble, while focusing on perceiving the gaze of sight that might be hidden in the dark: the latter is one of their goals.

“It’s stinking everywhere,” Lily complained dissatisfied. She had torn the long skirt that made her very uncomfortable, but its length still made the Huskies very uncomfortable. When I was running, I still had to carry a skirt and a skirt. The more unpleasant thing here is the smell that can never be avoided in the streets and lanes. "I have only seen it in books before. I didn’t expect the medieval European towns to be so. Stinky."

"There are not many public health awareness in big cities this year, let alone such a town that doesn't know if it is a city." Hao Ren is also very upset about the smell around him, but he is glad that his nose is not as good as Lily. So sensitive, so it has not reached an intolerable level. "If this environment does not lead to plague, the witch hunting movement will not be serious."

"Do you have any ideas for the landlord?" Lily endured the odor around her and tried to distinguish the possible heterogeneous breath from the odor. She whispered Hao Ren, "Let Wei Wei'an in such a dark place." Sleeping, how do I feel that the difficulty is high..."

"Of course there are ideas," Hao Ren actually has a well-thought-out. "First our 'drop point' will definitely be near Vivienne's sleeping place. From the geographical scope, don't worry too much. Secondly, Vivian's sleeping place will be around. There are abnormal natural phenomena, these natural phenomena will inevitably attract some guys: alien survivors who seek strength and inheritance, or the demon hunters who smell the taste, the latter two will lead us to the right place. So our first step is to inquire about the situation, see if there are any legends of monsters and ghosts nearby, it is best to have recent events, and then go to the identity of the exorcist... Anyway, this is the best I can think of. Of course, if this method does not work, I still have a follow-up plan, that is, a big trouble, so that ten ** will attract the demon hunter, then I will change my face and try to mix it into the hunter’s team. See if you can steal their local monitoring records, there must be valuable clues. But the second option is very dangerous, and more importantly, you must not be exposed. Magic in front of people, so then you'd better back is 'safe house' by myself ...... "

Hao Renkou's "safe house" is the hunter's hut embedded in the space-time boundary. By enticing the locals to do the test, Hao Ren has confirmed that the hunter's hut only he and Lily can see and enter, is a well-deserved security stronghold.

"I think it's still the first plan," Lily certainly didn't want to go to the still black and white hut. "Don't worry about the landlord, even if I meet the demon person, I'm not afraid... Oh, it's definitely not stupid to be positive with them. Oh, I can't beat it yet? I have a special bloodline, even if this 'old body' has a congenital hostility factor, its hostile reaction is not so strong, it is easy to get from the devil's eyelids. I slipped under the bottom of the child. And I can't do it. I pretend to be the 'prey' you caught... If you encounter a different kind of thing, you pretend to be the prey I caught. If you think about it, the combination of the two is simply invincible. ?"

Hao Ren: "..."

The combination is invincible and not invincible. He doesn't know, but the logic of the dog is really invincible!

At this moment, Lily suddenly stopped.

"Wait," she said, lowering her voice to Hao Ren. "Someone... I smell the potion." 8
