Natural enemies

After it rained all day, Wu Peng came out of the street and got into Sang Lin's car dripping wet.

"No umbrella?" Sang Lin started the car, merged into the long traffic, squirmed forward, and threw him a dry towel.

Wu Peng moved a bit in embarrassment on the back seat: "I'm sorry, I got the car seat wet." Originally, he brought an umbrella, but who knew that it was windy today, and the broken foldable umbrella had a small rib Firm, now it's completely dead.

Sang Lin shrugged: "Just go back and do some maintenance. It's not real leather anyway. Didn't Assistant Du come with you today?"

Wu Peng shook his head, and said gloomily, "He's gone to contact the venue."

"Venue?" Sang Lin thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Is it the personal jewelry exhibition of some wealthy Russian businessman? Is it going to be moved from the imperial capital to the magical capital?"

"Yes." Wu Peng obviously didn't want to talk about these things. "Anyway, Du Quan is not a demon hunter. He is the same without him. In case I really encounter a foreign species, I have to protect him."

Not all demon hunters in the Demon Hunters Guild, there are also some archives or reception work, the workload is not heavy, and ordinary people can also be competent.But correspondingly, these people don't have the demon hunting subsidy, so their salary is even meager.And because of the secrecy system, it's not easy to recruit part-timers casually, so the difficulty of recruiting these positions is not much less than that of demon hunters.Therefore, Sang Lin really didn't expect that the president of the Asian guild would have a full-time assistant in such a shabby state.

"Assistant?" Wu Peng sneered, "Well, most of the jobs that the guild is taking over from outside are recruited by him. Let my dad be a security guard today, and find someone to participate in some cross-country competition tomorrow. Dad can still make a fuss!"

Although it is said that Du Quan found the job, President Wu must be willing to do it.It is obviously not fair for Wu Peng to put his hat on Du Quan's head.But of course Sanglin would not argue with him about this, and immediately changed the subject: "How is the situation?"

Wu Peng shook his head again: "It is now certain that No. 23 appeared that day. This is not the first time he appeared at No. 5 on the Bund. He should have two companions before, but they were not there that day."

"Is it for Jason? Could his companion have gone to Jason?"

"It doesn't seem to be. According to the memories of the people in the bar, they didn't ask about Jason. But because of the illusion, those who saw them couldn't remember what they looked like, only remembered that one of them had very light eyes. So it’s hard to say whether this memory is accurate or not. And no one knows their details, I checked around, and they don’t live there.”

Sang Lin curled her lips: "Of course. Most of the Nofilers are used to living in places like sewers, and they hardly need a place to live." So it is extremely troublesome to search.

"We still need to find Jason first." Wu Peng frowned, "Mr. Tang..."

Sang Lin also shook her head: "Tang Ji's information is correct. Those women have had contacts with Jason, but Jason is not in their residence at present. There are a lot of people, and we must all focus on the lack of manpower."

Wu Peng also had a headache: "There is indeed a shortage of manpower. First, the serial vampire case, then Jason, and the vampire who can perform illusions, and now Nofiler—the vampires that appeared during this period are more than I saw a year ago." I've been through a lot..."

"Your Asian guild really—" Sang Lin swallowed the second half of the sentence, "How many people are handling the case now?"

Wu Peng's face was a little hot, and he said in a muffled voice: "My dad and the others came back in a few days. There are also a few demon hunters outside who have also completed their tasks and rushed here."

Sang Lin glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and couldn't hold it back: "Then you are the only one here now?" A demon hunter in such a huge demon city? "Is there not a single alien here on weekdays?"

Wu Peng's face flushed again: "There are too few people who can use it..." Of course he knew that there must be aliens in the Demon City, but how long would it take to meet one in such a big place and a sea of ​​people?There is no subsidy without fighting, and it is very difficult to live on a basic salary, especially in such a big city, where living in a big city is not easy, so many demon hunters can't persevere.

This can be regarded as a vicious circle: the fewer demon hunters, the less able to manage a large area; the less able to manage, the harder it is to catch alien species; the harder it is to catch, the less income; the less income, you can persist fewer people...

Moreover, there are few alien species in Asia, and there are fewer incidents, and the security department has not paid attention to them, so that in some cases, there is no way to notify them at the first time, and by the time they pass by, it is probably already too late , the other party has already fled.Even in the third- and fourth-tier cities, there was no such idea at all, and after a period of time, they were sealed in the archives as unsolved cases, and they couldn't even see them.

Under such circumstances, the number of demon hunters in the Asian guild is decreasing day by day. In addition, this jewelry exhibition has transferred people away. At present, he is really the only one in charge of the entire magic city.

Sang Lin shrugged and was speechless: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Wu Peng was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where is Mr. Tang?"

When Sang Lin said this, she became even more angry: "Him? He said that you are the Interpol, who came to catch the hallucinogens. In the end, those few people were like guns to the temple, and they clung to him. He was killed and silenced. Now he can't even go to the company..."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became: "Especially that Li Tianyi, who has a bear-like face and thinks he is handsome!" In a fit of anger, she even became much more fluent in her words and sentences, and used the word "bear-like" precisely, which was almost never seen before. The words used, "While pestering Gu Yi, at the same time—"

"What else?" Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Wu Peng asked subconsciously.

Why does Sang Lin have the nerve to say that while Li Tianyi is pestering Gu Yi for money, he always keeps looking at her?This is because she showed her hand, Li Tianyi's lust had already restrained a lot.

"How could he know such a friend!" Said he was a friend of a fox and a dog, insulting both the fox and the dog.

This time it was Wu Peng's turn to be difficult to speak.Although he agreed with Sang Lin's words in his heart, he also knew that Sang Lin and Tang Ji were transferred from the American branch together, and their relationship was closer than that of him.He's not a fool, of course he wouldn't casually speak ill of his partner, so he changed the subject sensibly: "Is Gu Yi the one you suspect?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Sang Lin was also a little confused, "I doubted him at first—you have seen the monitoring of Liang'an Bridge, it is too suspicious. But in him, even Tang Ji didn't feel it. It's not the same at all. He also mentioned the characteristic of No. 23 first, otherwise I don't think Daniel can remember it at all. Also, I thought he would find a way to leave Tang Ji's house, but he has been staying here, and it seems I enjoyed my stay…”

"It's--very happy?" Wu Peng was also a little speechless, "This--this is unlikely to be an alien species, right?" I have never seen an alien species get along very well with a demon hunter.Moreover, if Gu Yi is really the blood clan who rescued people at Liang'an Bridge, then he and Tang Ji should be at odds with each other. How could they provide clues to the demon hunter?

Sanglin looked a little gloomy: "I once wanted to try him with the holy cross."

"Holy cross?" Wu Peng didn't know much about the holy relics of the witcher families in Europe and America, "Have you tried it?"

"Tang Ji won't let it go." Sang Lin said with a sullen face, "The holy cross is full of divine power, and it is impossible for blood clans below the prince to be immune to harm as long as they come into contact with it. harm……"

The Holy Light of the Holy Cross can act on all evils, and the soul of ordinary people is never pure white, and it must be mixed with various distracting thoughts and even evil thoughts. For the Holy Light, these should be washed away.But to cleanse, the soul must be touched, so the more evil thoughts there are, the greater the shock and damage will be.Even some wicked people, though not heterogeneous, are killed at the touch of the Holy Cross.

If this were the time of the Holy Cross, there would be no problem with this practice.Those who will die under the holy cross must be sinners, there is no doubt about it, and no one will object.However, it is now a society ruled by law. No matter how many evil thoughts you have in your heart, you will be innocent before you take action. The Holy Cross has no right to punish, and of course it cannot be used lightly.

Wu Peng still understands this principle.But to be fair, he agrees: "This is really not easy to use casually..." Whoever has no selfish thoughts in his heart is not a saint.Not to mention others, even if it is himself, it is hard to say whether he dares to use the Holy Cross to try it casually.

Sang Lin let out a long breath: "Can you make up a few words and tell them that they are fine now. Since they are not aliens, let them leave Tang Ji's house as soon as possible."

Wu Peng frowned slightly: "But No. 23 may really be after them—why he followed them to the bathroom that day, and why he suddenly used illusion on Daniel, the reason has not yet been clarified..."

Sang Lin couldn't refute this. In fact, Tang Ji said the same thing, so it was safest to keep Li Tianyi and others.But she really couldn't stand those people anymore.One is full of lust, one is as timid as a mouse, and the other one is so annoying that people can't find fault with it, but they really don't like it.

"What did he do?" Wu Peng asked inexplicably.He felt that the man looked very quiet, not at all like a troublemaker, of course, not like a vampire.

As a powerful alien species of its own, although there are thousands of types of vampires like humans, there is always a similarity in them. It may be difficult to summarize in words, but experienced demon hunters will feel this way .

The relationship between vampires and humans is quite complicated.Vampires drink blood, and in that sense humans count in their diet.But vampires are transformed from humans, so from this aspect, humans can be regarded as their future kin.

This kind of relationship has caused vampires to be willing to get close to human beings, but also always have such a condescending feeling, just like the gods look down on the world, ready to take themselves into heaven at any time.

Wu Peng dare not say that he has rich experience, but at least he has been in this industry for several years and has some experience with vampires.But Gu Yi—he really doesn't look like a vampire except for his fair skin—the most important thing is that when he looks at people, he doesn't look like he's looking at a dish.

"He—" Sang Lin worked hard for a long time, but finally closed her mouth in a slump, "Forget it, he didn't do anything. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Just happened to go to Tang Ji's place to eat."

"This—" Wu Peng was a little embarrassed, "isn't it convenient?"

Sang Lin rolled her eyes: "It's inconvenient to have a meal. Besides, Tang Ji asked you to go. If you go, those people may be able to restrain themselves." She lowered her voice, as if talking to herself He added another sentence softly, "I think he can't stand it anymore..."
