Chapter 667: Revisiting Jinhui City (5k monthly ticket requested)

After the No. 087 Divine Hunter He Gui, who was replaced by a demon at some point, was shot dead on the spot, Zhongdu immediately launched a larger-scale self-examination.

As the largest city of the human race with millions of people living there, including hunter students and advanced hunters, there are tens of thousands of hunters in the city. In addition to the personnel in various key positions, the total number of verification people in this wave is nearly 20,000, because The instrument was ready for delivery, but we didn't want to make too much noise. With the cooperation of the research institute, it took half a month.

The final result is certainly not as bad as the "20% explosion rate" of the God Hunter, but it still detects 65 hidden monsters. The monster explosion rate is close to 0.33%, which means that on average there will be one in 300 people. Only demons exist.

These guys usually hide themselves perfectly, and when they are taken away, their old bosses often can't believe it and plead for mercy.

It is obvious that as the 300-year war draws closer, not only the human side is preparing for war, but the demon side is also quietly infiltrating hunters and people with certain status and positions.

Sun Qin was shocked and fortunate. If these 65 demons had not been detected, these 65 monsters would have caused at least three times their number and the death of more than 200 important hunters. Even if they were organized, they could have brought about a far-reaching and unimaginable disaster!

"Within one year, I will eliminate any demons in all hunter teams and important institutions, from villages and towns to capitals!"

Following Sun Qin's order, the behemoth Hunters Guild quickly launched into action.

…

Lieyang City is the second-level city under the Eastern Capital.

"I was still guessing what new job Li He had given me, but unexpectedly..." Xu Shengnan's eyes widened, he gently stroked the instrument that had just been transported, and he laughed sillyly: "From what kind of solar cooker he tinkered with From the very beginning, I could tell that he was not an ordinary person. His brain was different from that of ordinary people. He was probably half a pound heavier than a normal person..."

"Brother Li He is indeed amazing." Yi Nan, who was escorting the equipment, said with emotion: "Everyone was not so surprised when they heard that it was his research result."

There is also a middle-aged man with a long beard beside them, Tong Wenlong, the president of Lieyang City Hunter Guild, and the hunter number is 271. He also asked with wonder on his face: "Yi Shenlie, so the next task is..."

Yi Nan nodded lightly: "Cooperate with Sister Shengnan to first inspect all hunters in Lieyang City, and then cover all third-, fourth-, and fifth-level cities and villages under Lieyang City, and 279 residential areas."

"learn."

"It is indeed a big job. I have to personally supervise every step to prevent the emergence of monsters that the local Hunter Guild cannot deal with." Xu Shengnan raised his head and said: "There is no one that cannot be completed in a year.

Li He was wrong. He said on the phone that we could meet and chat. Who would have thought that he would directly assign me here and ask you to escort the equipment here in person. Are you coming along, Yi Nan? Sister is in charge of this line in Lieyang City, what about you? "

"White Tiger Fortress." Yi Nan didn't hide it, scratched his head, and said: "The other thing is... the senior leaders of the Hunter Guild who supervise and verify Dongyang City... well, including the president, I'm sorry."

"No, this is what it should be." Tong Wenlong said immediately: "It just so happens that Yi Shenlie can also teach us how to use these instruments."

"Hahaha, including sister." Xu Shengnan laughed: "Come on, come on, check it out, put the instruments on me and my fellow president!"

Sister Shengnan is not really needed... Yi Nan cursed in his heart, how could there be a problem with someone who often sees Brother Li He and Sister Xiaoai.

But thinking that Tong Wenlong was by his side, he did not say this, but just replied: "Sister Shengnan, President Tong, first I need to draw a few milliliters of your blood."

The steps are not complicated. The main difficulty lies in processing the DNA to the point where it can be directly observed by a high-power microscope. The memory of two hunters with hundreds of digit numbers easily captured it in one go.

After adjusting the angle of the microscope, Xu Shengnan suddenly pushed Yi Nan aside and said, "Sister, let me see first. The two spiral lines are people, and the circle outside is the demon, right?"

"Yeah." Yi Nan knew that Xu Shengnan had always been rough and thin, so he couldn't judge by appearance.

She probably acted like this because she was worried about what might happen to the president. While Yi Nan was looking at the microscope, it would be a perfect opportunity for the other party to make a sneak attack.

Although Yi Nan was not too worried, he accepted Xu Shengnan's meticulous care and kindness.

"Let me see... Well, is this the genetic information we got from our parents? It's crooked and ugly... Oh, President, I didn't tell you, this thing should look like this."

Tong Wenlong shook his head and smiled to indicate that it was okay.

"Look at me again..." Xu Shengnan lowered his head again, his body suddenly stagnant.

The tremor was very obvious, and the muscles on the body were tense and bulging. It also made Tong Wenlong and Yi Nan tremble in their hearts. They quickly stared at Xu Shengnan, looking at her slowly raising her head with a hint of distraught on her face. Emotions.

"It's really... just as ugly."

"..."

"Hahahaha! Are you scared? I'm so sad. You actually doubted me for a moment? Yi Nan!" Xu Shengnan laughed suddenly, hugged Yi Nan, and squeezed his face with his strong chest muscles.

"Uh huh... I poked her, Sister Shengnan." Yi Nan begged vaguely for mercy.

"Haha, you're right. Demons are cunning, and even if they are close friends, they still have ten thousandths of doubt in their hearts." Xu Shengnan said with a smile, "I was wrong, you can't joke about this kind of thing. Take a look, Look carefully, purely human!”

"Uh huh huh!!"

Tong Wenlong looked on in a daze, the relationship is so good, Xu Hunter and Yi Shenlie.

…

At the same time, in Dongdu, one of the five human capitals, a large-scale inspection was already underway.

Two numbered hunters were returning to the Hunters Guild, holding the blood samples they had just collected at the livestock base, when a gust of evil wind suddenly struck them.

The strong wind stirred up the sand and blinded their eyes. The two of them immediately became vigilant and mobilized their spiritual defense. However, they did not feel any trace of magic or spiritual power. After only two or three seconds, the evil wind stopped.

Just a random wind? The two looked around and checked the blood samples in their hands. They found nothing, and they didn't think anyone could do anything in front of them in such a short period of time. They looked at each other and continued to return to the guild.

"Too sensitive?"

In the distance, a rather charming woman wearing a white hexagram and appearing to be about 40 years old weighed the two replaced blood samples in her hands, shook her head and said with a smile: "Senior Shu went to farm, and I breed pigs and sheep here, and Ji Compared with the stars, it’s ridiculous.”

It was none other than the half-demon White Antelope.

The apprentice-looking girl who followed her was about 20 years old. She had no makeup and was delicate, but her temperament was dampened by her simple clothes. Only the red makeup of the girl could be seen faintly.

She was extremely puzzled and asked: "Senior, what is Senior Ji Xing doing? Why are you helping humans find the companions who are hiding among the hunters?"

"Companion?" Bai Ling chuckled: "Only when you become a demon god can you be considered half of our companions. If other ants can help us, it is their honor. Unfortunately, I am not interested in those machines at all. I can't be like In this way, Ji Xing becomes the 'Light of Humanity' and can only compete with livestock."

Tu Honghong is still puzzled, and at the same time there is a trace of worry hidden deep in her eyes.

Suddenly meeting Bai Ling's gaze, she subconsciously dodged it and looked back: "Senior, do you have any other orders?"

"It's nothing. I was thinking that Ji Xing's method of testing demons should cause you some trouble, right? Qianzi Demon God, where is your true body? I'm a little bit curious now."

Tu Honghong just shook her head and didn't answer.

"I know you won't answer. Your super power is indeed very unique. You make 99% of yourself into a clone, and hide 1% of your weak self as the main body..." Bai Ling gently touched Tu Honghong's head: "Let me guess, Xu Shengnan? Isn't it? Hahaha, it's interesting if you don't!"

Tu Honghong smiled: "Why would you think of Sister Shengnan? I'm not that stupid."

…

…

Time flies, 12 days later.

The third-level city under Lieyang City is Jinhui City.

This is Xu Shengnan's hometown, and it is also the place where her dream begins. She becomes a numbered hunter here, meets Ji Xing here, and there are too many people she is familiar with here. But when I returned this time, I didn’t feel like I was returning home in glory.

Xu Shengnan stared at the list in front of him and sighed: "It's not bad, Lao Luo, there are 59 cases of demons among the 10,705 people tested in Lieyang City, and there are only 17 cases among the 4,396 people here."

"But the quality is high." Luo Sheng next to him did not accept her consolation and said: "Two hunter captains and one general agent Li Hecai... Sigh, I really don't know whether I should say it is more humiliating, or more angry and sad. , they are all friends who have had drinks.”

Xu Shengnan also fixed his eyes on one of the names: "Tch—that idiot Old Zhou!"

It only hurt Chun Beiqiu for a few seconds before she straightened up and waved, "Let's take action!"

The team that gained experience from the large-scale investigation in Lieyang City immediately took action under the leadership of local hunters in Jinhui City. Xu Shengnan and Luo Sheng sat in the center and learned about the situation through the intercom.

Amidst the 'good news' everywhere, there was a sudden and urgent report: "Captain Xu Shengnan! Jinhui City's superior hunter Zhou Yuping is not at his post! There is no one at home either. When I asked his subordinates, the answer was 'I don't know'!"

Xu Shengnan and Luo Sheng's expressions changed slightly and they acted immediately. Ten minutes later, they only saw a girl who took the initiative to appear in front of them.

The girl was about 22 or 23 years old, not tall, and had a forced smile on her round face: "I'm sorry, Sister Shengnan. Long time no see, Sister Shengnan."

"Zhou Mo." Xu Shengnan murmured softly and sighed: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. In a blink of an eye, you've grown up and become a hunter. So, was old Zhou... let you go?"

Zhou Yuping is the oldest hunter captain in Jinhui City. Before Xu Shengnan became the captain, he was one of the three captains, and he still is today, more than ten years later.

They were both captains, so they knew each other very well, and Zhou Yuping's daughter Zhou Mo was naturally the child that Xu Shengnan watched grow up and even held her in his arms.

Zhou Mo's voice was slightly hoarse and he said: "Well... I have a friend in Lieyang City. Before you returned to Jinhui City, I had a guess about what you were doing.

My father's accident happened while he was on a mission outside the city half a year ago. The demon that devoured him was probably not very strong and was only a high-level demon, so a large part of my father's consciousness was still retained.

I thought about reporting it, but after all... I admired you, Katsuo-san, when I was a kid. I always wanted to be a hunter like you, but I didn't expect that you would be held back now. He has left the city, and for this... I am willing to bear all the penalties and costs. "

Xu Shengnan was silent for a long time, and only snorted: "You girl, you are such an idiot! You have learned all the rules of a hunter from a dog's belly!"

Anyone who is devoured by a demon must still be treated as a demon, even if he retains the memory of his life and even acts on the human side.

Letting go of his father who became a demon is an out-and-out cover-up crime. Hunters should not do it. The specific treatment will have to be looked at separately.

This also reminded Xu Shengnan that as the investigation progresses, more and more hunters will definitely get the news in advance, and the monsters mixed in will break out at any time... If we want to shorten the investigation time, there are not enough manpower. Look For this job, you have to use your brain a lot, and following the steps is not enough.

Just when the group returned to the Hunter's Guild, a hurried voice suddenly sounded from the intercom: "President! The school is attacked by monsters!"

Xu Shengnan's expression condensed.

Zhou Mo, who was put in shackles, suddenly turned his head: "No...it won't be my father!"

Alas, I don’t think so. What’s your name?

Xu Shengnan disappeared in an instant.

In the direction of the Hunter School, the teacher who shot backwards crashed into a wall, twitched a few times on the ground, bit his lip, but still fell into a coma.

A group of teenagers, carrying the school-issued hunting knives, looked nervously, fearfully, or at a loss at the man who had easily defeated their teacher, an intermediate hunter.

"Stay still and squat in the corner." The man said in a hoarse voice: "I am the senior hunter Zhou Yuping. Some of you have seen me. By the way, I have taught you a lesson! This is also a practical training class. Just cooperate with me!"

exercise? The trainee hunters are children, but they are not fools, the teacher's blood is spilled all over the floor!

But... resist? escape?

Just when a few top students who were close to the lower-level hunters were about to fight, Zhou Yuping suddenly took a few steps forward and slashed them away with a single blow. He then pulled out a girl and put the knife on her neck!

"It's all very good. He has the blood of a hunter, not like uncle, haha..." He smiled awkwardly and said loudly: "But don't mess around! I can really kill people! And you, Katsuo, I Knowing that you have arrived, hurry up and appear in front of me!"

After two seconds of silence, Xu Shengnan appeared, his broad back blocking the children's sight, facing Zhou Yuping who had kidnapped the girl, while Luo Sheng appeared behind Zhou Yuping in a flash.

"Old Zhou, it seems that you are really sane. Human consciousness dominates the body, so what is going on?!" Xu Sheng asked in a male voice like thunder.

Zhou Yuping held his knife closer to the girl, forced a smile and said: "Shengnan, long time no see, I don't want to die. I will die when I leave the city, and the demon's consciousness will swallow me up in an instant. I don't want to Even if I die, I don’t want Zhou Mo to be dragged down by me!”

"Then aren't you dragging Zhou Mo even more?!" Luo Sheng said angrily, "Let go of the child first!"

"Although I really want to comfort you, as a senior, you must know that kind of thing, Lao Zhou." Xu Shengnan also said: "Being devoured by demons is an irreversible process. We can't save you even if we want to!"

"Yes! Li He can do it!" Zhou Yuping showed a hint of ferocity on his face: "He is so powerful. He can invent supernatural medicine and find a way to detect monsters. He will definitely find a way!

You call him, Katsuo, we have been friends for more than ten years, please ask him to save me! Li He and I also know each other. Back then when he invented the monster killing game, I personally delivered him meals and protected him! He can save me! "

"Is that so? Is this your request?" Xu Shengnan said, "Whether Li He can do that kind of thing, I really can't say. He is indeed a guy who makes people think he is omnipotent."

Zhou Yuping smiled: "Yes..."

"Just like what I said on the phone before." Xu Shengnan's voice became louder: "He asked me to be mentally prepared and not to be shaken by external things. He probably expected that I would encounter a similar incident and fall into a conflict between humanity and responsibility. !

But...that's it? On this matter, is he worthy of being shaken by his male sister? ! "

Clang - the hunter's knife is unsheathed!

Zhou Yuping's pupils shrank and he shouted in shock: "Sheng Nan! It's me! You brother Zhou, Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou who played cards with us! Do you really want to kill me?! You are now rich, do you really want to die without saving me? ?!”

puff--

The strong wind roared, and the head was thrown into the sky with prayers and ferociousness. It suddenly transformed into the ugly appearance of the demon. The headless corpse that also transformed into the prototype also shook, letting go of the girl and falling to the ground!

Xu Shengnan paused, sheathed the knife, and put his big hand on the girl's head: "Good job, you're not afraid or shaking. And when he arrested someone just now, you seemed to have taken the initiative to take a step forward, right?"

The girl is about 14 years old, with black hair in a single ponytail, big green eyes, and looks cute.

She raised her hand to wipe the blood on her cheek, nodded slightly to Xu Shengnan, and said, "Since you have made your choice, don't regret it."

"Huh?" Xu Shengnan was startled, then he rounded and flattened her face in a funny way, and said: "I was educated by you, a little girl. Well, I did have a little hesitation, but it was only a little bit. I wanted to give it to Li He Na boy calls and asks.

Don't regret it, kill them all, even if Li He can really save Lao Zhou, sister will not regret it! You're a pretty good girl. What's your name? "

"Chen Duo."

"Well, little flower. How about it, do you want to go to a bigger city with your sister, such as Zhongdu, to receive better training?" Xu Shengnan asked.

"No. My parents love me very much. They have always supported me in everything since I was a child. Only when I chose to become a hunter, they were worried about me and opposed me." Chen Duo said: "But I still willfully persisted in trying. When I know They will probably feel distressed about what happened today, and I can't be too self-willed because of their favor."

"Really, she's still a set, overly mature girl." Xu Shengnan frowned.

Chen Duo smiled: "My parents seem to know Professor Li He and often mention him. If Sister Shengnan knows him, can you send us greetings? Just say...Chen Duo and his family are very grateful to him and hope that he will All the best."

"...Chen Duo and his family? This seems a bit childish. Hahaha, that guy Li He has so many admirers, even you, a little girl!"
