Siren Blade

Chapter 71 Hunters and Evil Moves

Maybe it's because I inadvertently said something that caused misunderstandings in the communication with the hunter in the past, and my image in his eyes seems a bit distorted.And he seemed at the moment to have a strange sense of fellowship with me.

"You must also be brainwashed." He repeatedly emphasized to me.

I didn't refute his words this time, and I still didn't accept it in my heart.However, if making him feel that I am a "fellow-minded person" can ease the pressure in his heart to some extent, I don't mind continuing to maintain his misunderstanding.

We left the security bureau.On the way, the hunter seemed to finally open his heart, telling me his own mental journey after leaving Day Town.Just as I imagined in the past, he understands intellectually that he was brainwashed, but after all, it is his own hands that did the evil, and the memory remains so vividly in his mind.His strong sense of morality does not allow him to forgive himself.

Qiao Licao whispered privately: "He seems to think that you, like him not long ago, ran away immediately after the fog cleared in Bairi Town."

We had lunch at a nearby restaurant.Taking advantage of the situation, I asked the hunter about the evil move.If it is now, maybe the hunter would like to tell me about the information he knows about the evil move, as well as his past with the evil move.

Hearing this, the hunter hesitated.It took a while before he seemed to make up his mind to confide in his past.

"Evil move... For me, evil move is an enemy that cannot be forgiven no matter what." His tone seemed to be describing hatred, but his expression contained extremely complicated emotions other than hatred, "This matter It starts more than 20 years ago... when I was still in college. I met a certain girl in college, and she later became my wife. At that time, I didn't know what the hidden world was, and my wife didn't Like me, just an average guy with little talent for awareness. And we hit it off from then on."

"To this day, I can still say that my wife is the perfect object for me. Not only the appearance and figure are outstanding among all the opposite sexes I knew at the time, but also the personality is gentle and considerate, and the mind is also smart. Although occasionally She has a self-willed side, but she is kind in nature, she will soon wake up and change her ways, and also ask me to correct her when she behaves badly. I stumbled with her at first, and it didn't take long Adapted to this pattern of being together and living a bonded life.” He continued, “But just as we were looking forward to life after college with hope … something bad came into our relationship.”

His face became extremely gloomy, "He did not know where he had mastered the knowledge of demons, and then launched a spell that can change the common sense and cognition of others, and shamelessly hacked into my wife's mind."

"...Huh?" I used such a word to express my feelings.

"He made my wife think that he was the real lover, and I was an outsider, and I didn't know how many... depraved things I did during that time." He said through gritted teeth, "And I was also deceived by him It affected the mind in the same way, and for a while I thought I was really an outsider."

No wonder he kept secret about his past with the evil move.

"Using the power of magic to dominate other people's minds, causing them to act against their personality... This is very common in warlocks' records of crimes against ordinary people." Qiao Licorice did not find it strange, but she cared about other things instead, " However, people with high awareness often have strong resistance to consciousness field spells such as hypnosis, brainwashing and common sense alteration, unless it is really a particularly powerful consciousness force, such as the charm of the succubus not long ago, or a long time ago The brainwashing of the sea monster... Now that you have become a warlock, even if you haven't recognized the hidden world in college, you should have good awareness, and you haven't been able to break free from the evil spell? ?”

"No, although I was recruited at that time, I always felt a sense of disobedience. If I had the common sense of the hidden world, I would probably be able to realize what kind of situation I was in in an instant. But due to ignorance, I passed It took a while to break free from the spell." The hunter said sadly, "I didn't expect my best friend and confidant to do that kind of thing to us..."

"Wait... Best friend? Confidant?" I said, "So you were familiar with evil tricks before this?"

"Hmm... Sorry, maybe I shouldn't start from the previous incident." The hunter shook his head, "Let's start from the beginning. I met the villain before my wife and I met, but the first meeting is also In college. At that time, college students were much rarer than now, but the most indispensable in colleges were college students. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. So many people gather together, there must be There are also a few bad birds with corrupt morals."

"Is Evil Zhao one of them?" I asked.

The hunter said unexpectedly: "And me."

"What?" I was surprised.

"I and Evil Zhao are both." The hunter recalled, "At that time, I used the living expenses provided by my family to gamble in the nearby chess and card room, and then I met Evil Zhao there."

"Gambling with living expenses..." Qiao Licao seemed to have re-acquainted with the hunter.

"At that time, I was also very guilty. I just couldn't control it. The evil trick was the same as me. He was just a college student who couldn't control it, not a demon warlock. We immediately shared our sympathies and shared our difficulties." Hunter said, "Later we decided to supervise each other, and we never went to any chess and card rooms again. Therefore, we forged a deep friendship and regarded each other as the best confidants."

Unexpectedly, a hunter with such a strong sense of morality would have such a past.I am so emotional in my heart.

"I am not who I am now from the beginning." The hunter seemed to have guessed my thoughts, "After becoming a law enforcement warlock, and after joining the legal camp... all kinds of experiences have made my personality today. And more than 20 years ago I am just a young man who lacks self-discipline, and if I break away from the restraint and discipline of the past, I will easily become self-sufficient."

"People's temperament is formed with experience, so it will also change with experience." Qiao Gancao agrees, "Adolescence, youth, middle age...the personality of different periods may even be different from two people. .”

I can very much agree with this statement.Because of my encounter with "It" and the five years that followed, my present personality must have become very different from my past personality.What I inherited in the healing dream is my past personality, and by comparing it with the current me, I can definitely see the huge difference.Although Jade Bird doesn't seem to agree with me so much.

"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and people form groups. In the past, I was as stinky as the evil move, so there must be more similarities. In fact, in my opinion, the evil move seems to have come out of a mirror, and it is similar to me. Another me with a different appearance." Hunter continued, "We even have the same aesthetics for the opposite sex, and we also fell in love with the same girl, that is my wife. In fact, the person who first confessed and interacted with his wife It's not me, it's a trick."

"Then why did you date her later?" Joe Licorice asked.

"Because there was a huge conflict between his wife and Evil Zhao during the relationship, after a year and a half, the two broke up." Hunter said, "I don't know what happened between them, Evil Zhao didn't want to tell Me and my wife didn't tell me about it in detail. And as time went by, we got married and moved to Liucheng, and then moved to Bairi Town... The evil tricks have even faded from our memories."

"It's far away. After they broke up, I tried to contact and confess to my wife, and finally became a couple." He looked reminiscent, "She is simply my ideal lover. The soul between us is so close. I fell in love with her hopelessly, and she returned the same love for me. So when I woke up from the influence of the spell and realized that the evil trick had done such a thing, I felt sorry for His deep friendship has also turned into a sworn hatred."

Qiao Gancao asked suspiciously: "However, even you said that your former self was so similar to Evil Zhao, just like looking in a mirror... Why did she break up with Evil Zhao after being so close to you afterwards?"

"Perhaps it's because...she has noticed the evil nature of the evil move." After the hunter finished speaking, he fell silent again.

If so, the hunter's wife must have been very discerning and unlucky.I'm afraid she would never have imagined that a succubus would appear out of nowhere after more than 20 years.And this time it was her husband's turn to be dominated.

I did not ask the hunter if his wife is still alive today.If the hunter kills him while he is under his control, then my question is undoubtedly a knife in his sore spot.But I also want to know that since Hunter and his wife both live in Bairi Town, with the situation in Bairi Town not long ago, unless Hunter specially protects her, there will be no luck.And given the hunter's situation at the time, how likely was it to protect her?
"And after that? After getting rid of the influence of the spell, how did you deal with the evil move?" I asked.

"It's nothing complicated. After realizing that there are such bizarre forces in this world, I also deduced that there may be a national department that specializes in dealing with such incidents. After a lot of hard work, I finally attracted the Security Bureau." Attention." The hunter said, "Facing law enforcement warlocks, evil moves can only escape, and I also showed some spellcasting talent in the process of guiding me by the Security Bureau. A few years later, I became a law enforcement warlock, Teamed up with other law enforcement warlocks to track down the evil tricks that were fleeing abroad. After many conflicts, the evil tricks fled overseas. Then today, I finally saw him again, and he was dead, died under his own overpowering... …He is not as good as me as a warlock, but trying to control the demon of the mist is really asking for his own death."

"You don't seem very happy to see his body?" I asked.

"Because I want to kill him with my own hands... that's one of the reasons." The hunter sighed, "And the other reason is... I thought that the nature of the evil move might not be so evil, and he was just distorted by demonic knowledge own mind."

Demonic knowledge has the property of affecting the learner's mind, making it cruel and depraved. It is a veritable "evil knowledge".

I have also seen a lot of demon knowledge in the memory of the middleman and the succubus, but I have never learned it. This is what worries me.

In addition, people whose minds are dominated by others will be regarded as tools of others. Even if they commit crimes during this period, the hidden law will only punish the ruler.People whose minds have been warped by demonic knowledge do not apply to this logic.

"Could it be that you're forgiving your bad tricks?" Joe Licorice asked strangely.

"It's just a little empathy. I recently experienced the feeling of my mind being dyed black, and I know the feeling of being involuntary." The hunter said complicatedly.

Without the knowledge of demons, the evil trick might still be the best friend of the hunter, and the hunter would have a normal life, and his wife would not be hurt like that.

While at odds with the evil move, the hunter may also have the sadness that his own life and that of his friends have been destroyed unreasonably by an external force.

However, after listening to the hunter's statement, I still have some doubts.

Why did the evil trick target the hunter's wife? Is it related to the reason for their breakup?Or is it just lust?
The hunter was hurt so deeply by the evil move, so there is naturally a reason to hate the evil move, but what about the evil move?I can't feel the deep hatred of the evil move towards the hunter.However, the evil trick ordered the demon of the mist to move to Bairi Town at the cost of all his vitality before he died. What is the reason for this?Because he is so vindictive, and 20 years later, he still remembers his failure at the hunter?Or did he just feel that he was going to die anyway, so why not bring an enemy to die with him?

And... the tentacles of the demon of fog are still active in Tianhe City, is there any relationship with the summoner of the evil move?
I communicated with the hunter again, but to no avail.There is no way, since I hit a wall here, I have to change the direction.I'm going to go after Bloodbite first.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Instead of tracking down the blood bite first, I first "admired" the law enforcement style of the Tianhe City Security Bureau.

Just as we were leaving the hotel, there was an evil spiritual wave in the distance.The hunter and I noticed it immediately, and looked at each other again.This fluctuation contains a strong smell of demons, and not long ago, I felt similar fluctuations in Baitian Town.

"The tentacles of the mist demon!" The hunter hurried in that direction.

I let Qiao Licorice stay here first, and then chased after him.Soon, the hunter and I came to another street.

I saw a giant insect-like monster with a black carapace majesticly appearing on the sunny street, and passers-by fled in panic.We came fast enough, less than ten seconds passed from the transmission of spiritual fluctuations to our arrival, and the demons hadn't had time to cause any casualties.But it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

The demon has already aimed at a passerby who is too stiff to move not far away, and I am about to summon the Siren Blade.

And at this moment, with a sharp slash, a black figure suddenly fell from directly above the demon.
