The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

The street lights in this world don't stay on all night, they usually stay on until around one or two o'clock in the morning before going out.

This not only ensures that passers-by can have light to illuminate the road ahead at night, but also saves some power, and can also make the night calmer through darkness, preventing some criminals from acting at night with the help of lights.

There are very few pedestrians on the road. At this time, most people are basically at home, and after eating, some may even fall asleep.

Lu Nier came to the place where the weirdo had been, according to the information, and then began to walk lightly on the street.

The quiet streets seem a little empty, and besides that, it can feel a little eerie, especially in the background of the haunted monsters.

On the contrary, this situation made Lu Nier feel a little irritated, without much fear.

The reason why most people are afraid of ghosts is that apart from their terrifying appearance, they are afraid that they will hurt themselves.

However, for a person like Lu Nier who is looking for death, the lethality of ghosts is just what he wants, so he is not afraid at all.

However, after walking on the street for a long time, Lu Nier didn't see any suspicious strange people.

"Is that weirdo really coming back..."

Lu Nier is a little sleepy, his physical fitness is only better than normal people, he still needs to sleep, especially his biological clock is very punctual.

"If I knew it earlier, I would drink a cup of coffee to refresh myself."

Rubbing his eyes, Lu Nier continued walking, but suddenly stopped.

"This voice..."

A strange sound came from the corner in front. It was a rattling sound, like the dense collision of metal, but it sounded once, paused, and sounded again...

"It's that weirdo!"

Lu Nier immediately pulled out his gun, and then quickly ran towards the place where the sound appeared.

Before he ran to the end of the road, he saw a person popping out from the corner, with a white mask, black clothing covering the whole body, and that kind of moving way...

This person is undoubtedly the weird person reported by many residents!

"Stop and don't move!"

Lunier raised his gun and aimed it at the weirdo.

"Move again and I'll shoot."

The strange man remained silent, stopped in place, and did not continue to jump.

Then, a voice came from under the mask.

"I……"

cemetery.

Lilian hid behind a tombstone, carefully listening to the movement around her, ready to catch the corpse thief at any time.

Regarding this case, what puzzled her the most was that the thief stole a dead body instead of some valuable funeral objects...

"It can't really be a zombie, right?"

Lilian trembled subconsciously, she didn't want to face the legendary undead creature.

"Or, is there anything unusual about that corpse?"

While guessing, Lilian fixed her eyes on the newly buried tomb.

In fact, she had no choice but to think of doing this, because she herself felt that the tomb robbers were just trying to steal the corpse, which was a bit ridiculous.

What can a dead body be worth?

What's there to steal from a pile of rotting meat and entrails?

"Could it be that this is a sacrifice?" Lilian thought of another possibility.

She had heard that the sacrifices used by many heretics were very strange.

It looks like underwear worn by women that hasn't been washed for dozens of days, or a hundred frog eyeballs, nails of a hundred women and a hundred men...

Although the authenticity of many of these claims is questionable, there is one thing in common with all these claims about the sacrifices of cult members.

That is, there are many types of offerings.

Among them, blood sacrifice is the most common one, such as sacrificing living things...

"Although they all sacrifice corpses, it seems that there are no cultists who sacrifice such rotten corpses, right?" Lilian thought, "Ordinary blood sacrifices kill living things, right? , trying to use rotting corpses as blood sacrifices?"

Lilian felt a little nauseous when she thought of this.

Suddenly, Lilian's eyes narrowed, and she found that although there were still no one around, there was a strange movement in the cemetery where she was buried.

"What is this sound..."

There was a slightly dull sound coming from the burial place, as if someone was knocking on the coffin.

"No way……"

Lilian listened carefully and found that she really seemed to hear correctly.

In other words, the tomb robber is likely to be underground right now?

How can this be?

"I'm just a demon hunter, my lord, don't shoot!"

"Are you a witcher?"

"Yes! I'm definitely not a suspicious person!" The weirdo nodded repeatedly, "I'm still somewhat famous in the world of demon hunters."

"Is there anything to prove your identity?"

"Yes, this is a badge issued by the Demon Hunters Guild." The weirdo took out a silver badge and threw it to Lunier.

Lunier took the badge and looked at it, except that it was a silver badge with two crossed swords on the pattern, but he didn't see anything.

"Can you take off the mask?"

"of course can!"

The weirdo took off the mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. This face looks square and sharp. Although it is not handsome, it has a very upright and rigid feeling.

However, he now has a slightly obsequious smile, which completely ruins the first impression of this face.

Ordinary human beings, not monsters like zombies, made Lunier feel a little disappointed, and threw the badge back casually.

He has also heard a little about the Demon Hunters Guild. It seems to be an unofficial organization that specializes in hunting monsters. The people in it call themselves demon hunters. He doesn't know more specific information.

"You don't sleep at night, what are you doing wandering around in the night?"

"I'm actually attracting monsters..."

"Attract monsters?"

Runier became interested.

"Yes, Master Investigator." The demon hunter explained, "Don't look at me like this, I am actually a professional demon hunter. I have a special characteristic called [Monster Hatred Ritual]. I just need to perform some ritual actions, The monster will be provoked by me, and then lose its mind and attack me."

"It's really a strange trait..." Lu Nier thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you still have the jumping and jumping just now?"

"It's a ritual!" said the demon hunter. "I actually don't want to do this. It's just that I have a different ritual for each monster. For example, the last time I hunted a vampire, the so-called ritual is Make me stand upside down and eat a whole catty of garlic!"

"Then what kind of monster are you attracting now?" Lunier sensed the point.

"Ghoul!" replied the witcher. "In the ceremony, I was asked to wear a white mask, a black cloak, and five silver bells on each foot of my left and right feet. Such."

"The ceremony doesn't matter, what kind of monster is this ghoul?"

"A ghoul is a monster that likes to devour carrion, especially human carrion. In terms of appearance, it usually has the ability to disguise as ordinary humans, but once it is provoked, it will change into a monster with blood-red muscles all over its body. It’s like a strong man has been stripped of his skin, and his teeth are so sharp that they can easily crush human bones, and he also has sharp claws that can tear people open!”

"This ghoul you mentioned, is it very powerful?"

"Of course! It is at least an E-level monster, and ordinary people are no match for it even if they fight together!"

"Very good!" Lu Nier praised, "What's your name?"

"My name is Abel."

"Abel, let me help you catch that ghoul."

"Really?" Abel was a little surprised.

"As an investigator, I maintain law and order. It is my duty to get rid of monsters that are a threat to the public." Lu Nier said with a serious tone, "Don't worry, I don't want bounties or corpses from monsters, I just want to get rid of them." .”

"That's really grateful!" Abel was a little moved. He usually doesn't have much contact with investigators, because he heard that investigators generally look down on demon hunters. Look down on him, and he has a sense of responsibility, just a little younger.

"But having said that, since ghouls like to eat carrion, you should go to places with carrion to attract them, right?" Luneil asked strangely, "Why did you come to such a place?"

"I'm also very strange." Abel also frowned, thinking about it, "I did go to places with carrion at first, such as near slaughterhouses or garbage dumps, or even cemeteries, but that Only the ghoul was not seduced by me. In order to find the ghoul, I specially drank a potion that can improve the sense of smell and smell the smell of the ghoul..."

When Abel said this, his nose subconsciously twitched twice.

"The strangest thing is here. I didn't smell it in the cemetery, nor did I smell it in places where ghouls often appear. Instead, I smelled the smell of rotting corpses on the street, although it has dissipated now. , but yesterday I did smell the smell of rotting corpses, that's why I did the ritual on the street, but I don't know what went wrong, in theory, after I do the ritual, as long as the ghouls are not far away from me, they will definitely come out and attack mine."

"Have you visited the cemetery today?" Lu Neil asked quickly, remembering what Lilian had said to him.

"No, what's wrong with this?"

"A corpse was just buried in the cemetery today, and the ghoul may be in the cemetery now."

"Newly buried? Then what are you waiting for, let's go and have a look." Abel said quickly, "If the ghoul has just finished eating, its strength will increase a lot in a short period of time!"

"it is good!"

The two didn't stop, and rushed towards the cemetery.

In the cemetery at this time, Lilian hesitated for a while after hearing the sound coming from the ground, then picked up the shovel and started digging.

Fortunately, the burial was not deep, and the soil was soft. Lilian dug the coffin board in a short time, and then she discovered that the sound was indeed coming from the ground, and there was still movement inside the coffin.

To be honest, she thinks she is quite courageous, but the strange noise in the coffin, coupled with the fact that it is dark now and she is alone, inevitably makes her flustered.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have called Lu Nier here. Why didn't the inspectors have guns!"

After complaining, Lilian was holding a shovel, and was about to dig up all the soil around the coffin, and then pry the coffin open...

"Crack!"

One hand... no!

A sharp claw slammed open the coffin board, and then another sharp claw stretched out, several claws tore the coffin in front of him, and struggled to crawl out from inside.

Blood-red muscles, a weird figure, a mouth full of criss-crossed sharp teeth...

"monster!"

Lilian exclaimed, without even thinking about it, she slashed at the monster's head with a shovel.

The shovel smashed into the monster's skull and sank in, but it seemed to be stuck in the skull, and it was difficult to get in any more.

Lilian didn't try to pull out the shovel, but kicked fiercely, and while the monster's lower body was still trapped in the coffin, her toe suddenly landed on the monster's temple.

"Ow!"

This kick was a powerful blow from Lili, if it were an ordinary person, it would probably kill him after this kick.

However, the monster just shook its head, stretched out its sharp claws to support the sides, and slowly broke free from the coffin.

Naturally, Lilian couldn't just stand still, and while the monster was trying to break its lower body out of the coffin, she kept attacking.

The weapons that ordinary inspectors are equipped with are not of the same grade as investigators. Not to mention firearms, even weapons are short sticks.

Rather than relying on this short stick, it is better to attack directly with fists and feet.
