[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

Possibly..." Terrible contagious virus, coupled with this terrifying ability. I am afraid that Zoe Corleone's security level has already far exceeded A level.

Pariston kept watching the direction in which Zoe was driving away.

Such an interesting thing really hasn't happened for a long, long time.

It is said that time is the best medicine to heal the pain, and it is also true for the citizens of Stonebo City.

The horrific tragedy that happened in the middle of the road in the past ten years has gradually been forgotten.Pariston Hill, a young hunter of the Hunter Association at that time, responded to the scene in time, controlled the situation, prevented more people from being victimized, greatly improved people's favorability for the association, and made enough money for Pariston. gained popularity.The association defined this incident as a sudden dangerous biological invasion, and said that people at that time were infected with a highly contagious unknown new type of virus, which may lead to large-scale disasters around the world if it is not controlled in time.Pariston also won the title of two-star hunter because of the proper handling of this incident.Many people called for such a young talent to be appointed as the vice president. In fact, he did become the vice president a few years later, and the hunter's star rating changed from two stars to three stars.

Zoe also read the news at the time, and there was no arrest warrant issued against her by the media, which shows that Pariston deliberately concealed her role in it, although the specific reason is not yet clear.

Even so, she dyed her signature silver hair black and wore black contact lenses, just in case.After experiencing the two incidents of Knight and Pariston, she never trusts people who approach her (but to be honest, she doesn't care much about those who approach her).But she also gradually reduced the use of abilities to investigate their memories, because she found that these memories would eventually become her nightmares.

Every time she receives a person's memory, the part belonging to "self" will decrease a little.

At first, after she left Buffalo University, she always felt that she was not a person, nor a zombie, but a collection of many individuals.Countless voices spoke in her head, making her so upset that she couldn't even read the book.So she decided not to use this ability at will unless necessary. Of course, she would still use it when necessary, and if it was only a small part of memory, it would be fine.

For ten years, she traveled to cities all over the world, and finally returned to her hometown - Youkexin.She opened a small bookstore, which she bought with the money left by Arthur with the previous boss.It doesn't matter if the bookstore's business is good or not, anyway, she has a lot of money, she just likes the feeling of sitting in the store and reading.

As time passed, Zoe also found the rhythm of life that belongs to zombies.She has a friendly and harmless healthy diet once a month. The limbs and wounds of the food are completely treated with equipment without infection, and they are killed directly after treatment.You know, she is still very picky about food.

She goes for a walk in Central Park every few days.She recently picked up a new hobby, hunting for prey among the morning exercise crowd in Central Park.She would slowly sit on a bench with a book, watching one after another healthy men and women running in front of her in sports shorts, and then imagine their life, the taste of eating, and then compare with the final result right.

She's no longer obsessed with eating only criminals.It's just human beings, and it doesn't make any difference if one or two are missing. Anyway, there are so many of them, and her appetite is not that big.And the benefits of Youkexin City are here.Countless crimes occur in the whole city every day, and she is just one of them.

It's midsummer now, and the temperature outside is on the high side.Zooey actually doesn't like the hot weather very much, so she doesn't go out very much these days, but hides behind the cashier in the bookstore and reads.Lately she's been into crime novels, like Chandler, Hammett, or Deaver.This kind of book seems to be much faster than Proust, and she can consume two or three books a day.

Another advantage of opening a bookstore is that when she is too lazy to go out to look for prey, the prey will come to her occasionally.For example, she didn't plan to go out to hunt this month, and was waiting for some bookbuyer to come in and give her a full meal.

It's all very random things.

Oddly enough, the Hunter Society seems to have stopped pursuing her for a decade, but she still runs into Pariston occasionally.This man has become more and more unpredictable, Zoe will erase his memory every time he meets him, but he still seems to come to her without getting tired of it, and he doesn't do anything else - such as tying her to the research institute Or somewhere else.Nothing like that happened at school again. "You've helped me where I needed your help," Palliston would say. "Aren't we friends now?"

Do friends go to bed every time they meet?Isn't it buddy with benefits?

Zooey couldn't figure out what this man was trying to do.

Pallistone would come to the bookstore occasionally, usually if others were in Youkexin, and often avoided talking about what happened in Stonebo.Sometimes he even brings "meeting gifts", sometimes books, sometimes ordinary gifts, such as ornaments and flowers.Zoe left the book behind, and everything else was thrown into the trash can.

Later, Zoe was too lazy to erase his memory every time. On the one hand, it was really annoying (she didn't want the memory concentration of Pariston in her brain to be too high), and on the other hand, she was really a little curious about what the other party was planning. .

At least she can be sure that Paris Stone will not leak her information to the association.If he was going to do it he would have done it.On the other hand, he did not disclose the news to the other party (obviously he still has a party),

The bell at the door of the store rang, and a customer entered the store.Zooey could feel that it was two people, but she didn't look up.In the book, Rhyme is fighting the Watchmaker for the third time, and she wonders if they can catch the guy this time.

"The leader really likes to come to this kind of place~" A voice said, "Oh, look, they still have this kind of picture album. I don't know if Feitan will like it, but I saw him holding a copy of it the other day. I'm watching."

"Speaking of which, Feitan and the others seem to have not set off yet."

"Yes, yes, after all, there is still a month until the assembly time. Speaking of which, is there anything that the head of the group is interested in coming so early this time?"

"Is there something... Well, there are."

Zoe listened to the conversation and raised her eyes a little to see that there were two young men.One has black hair and black eyes, his head is bandaged because of an injury or something, and the other has a baby face with blond hair and blue eyes, which looks more lively.Both of them dressed casually and everyday, but Zoe could feel that they were telepaths, and they were very strong.

Well, such people do exist occasionally.

She thought for a while and continued to bury her head in the book, ignoring the conversation between the two of them.People with too strong mind ability are delicious, but the price is often too high.And this kind of person may have a lot of mess to deal with, so forget it, it's too troublesome.

"Hi, please check out." After a while, the black-haired man took the book to the counter.She opened the basic cover to look at the pricing, said the price casually and waited to collect the money, but found that the other party hadn't moved for a long time.So he looked up at the other party and blinked, meaning: Where's the money?

"Huh?" After meeting her gaze, the blond baby's face froze for a moment.

"This store does not accept credit cards." Zooey pointed to the stand sign on the table and said, "Please pay in cash."

The black-haired man smiled: "Are you the owner? Or an employee of this store?"

Zooey frowned: "Do you have something to do with the shopkeeper?"

"Ah," the black-haired man replied naturally, "That's right, I want to ask if the other two volumes of this book are in the store."

Zooey glanced at it, it was Trevor Brown's album.

"Oh, this." She pointed, "The second-to-last row of the innermost cabinet on the left, you can look for it, it should be over there."

"Thank you." The black-haired man thanked him and went back to the bookstore to look for books, leaving Babyface and Zoe in front of the counter.

For some reason, the baby face kept staring at her.

Occasionally there will be such customers, Zooey thought helplessly.

"What's the matter, are you asking me out for coffee?" she said.

"Huh?" Babyface was obviously taken aback by her, "Are you going?"

"Hmm..." Zooey squinted her eyes carefully and looked up and down the baby's face.She looks like a teenager at most, but she can't be judged by her appearance, she still looks like a teenager.I don't know why this baby's face looks familiar. "If you ask me out, I'll think about it."

The baby face seemed to be staring at her face for a long time, until the black-haired man came back with the book and paid the bill, he smiled and said to Zooey: "Okay, then I will contact you."

"Okay." Zooey said while seeing off the guest while turning her head to read the book, thinking that the guest would definitely forget about it when she got home.

After the two walked out, Kurolo said, "Xia Ke, is this someone you know?"

"Hmm~ I guess." The knight showed a troubled smile, "I'm not sure, the other party doesn't seem to remember me anymore."

"Speaking of which, I really seem to have seen that face somewhere..." Kuroro was also lost in thought.

Zooey was sitting in the bookstore, and it didn't take long for the doorbell to ring again, and a dark shadow stood in front of her, blocking the light from which she was reading.Zooey raised her head impatiently, and asked, "May I have something to do?"
