[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

Whether the note was left by the murderer or not, she still cared a little.

Suddenly, some weird images flashed in her mind.

It seems to be Youkexin...

The pale morning light spilled from the buildings to the ground, dilapidated streets, people who looked like walking corpses... and a... blond figure.

Is it Pariston?

But—strange, she didn't remember such a scene, and Pariston obviously didn't turn into a zombie (she confirmed this by text message), so, what's going on?

Zoe, who was about to continue to follow this clue, froze in place.

At this time, Paris's reply came.

"I didn't expect to receive a message from you, I'm fine, don't worry^^"

Looking at this reply letter, Zooey sighed.The scene just now is not really what happened, nor is it a "memory" that she has forgotten, but could it be a daydream?

Although... even if Pariston turns into a zombie, she doesn't have any objections.

But it feels a little awkward to deal with.

But this also gave her some hints that Pariston, as the vice president of the Hunter Association, might have heard about the assassination of Lucas, and it would be better if he knew some inside information.So she quickly responded with another one.

The reply from the other side came faster, making one have to wonder if the vice president is working hard.

"Ah, there is indeed such a thing. I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I actually left you the note."

Zooey read the message once, almost thinking that she was dazzled, and then read it again.That's right, that guy Pariston just admitted he left the note.

What is "forgot to tell you"? ? ?

As if he had understood the raging anger in Zoe's heart, the next message would follow immediately

"But it's not my fault that Lucas became like that. It was already like that when I arrived. But I have a little clue as to who the killer is. I wanted to wait until you came to find me. I told you."

Sometimes people will be in this way, inadvertently learn some very important information.If it wasn't for Pariston's initiative, she wouldn't have thought that Lucas' murder was related to him; if it wasn't for the strange picture that suddenly appeared, she wouldn't have thought of sending a text message to Pariston to confirm his safety.

What the hell is going on?

She thought about the door again.

Has she ever been to this nursing home?

Why is there no impression at all?

The corridor here, and even this square rest area made her feel vaguely familiar, but she had no clue at all.

Memories are a wonderful thing.

Zoe remembered reading a story in which the hero had always had a knot in his heart.He didn't get along well with his daughter, because one day her daughter said something harsh to him.After his daughter grew up and left, he finally decided to face the relationship between father and daughter.He wrote a letter to his daughter, apologizing for his incompetence as a father before, but by the way, referring to that sentence that day, he said that he no longer took it to heart, and hoped that his daughter would not either.

But his daughter's reply to him shocked him. The daughter said that she did not say this to him, but he said it to her.The male protagonist was shocked and a little ashamed.But the video clip attached to her daughter's letter did prove that he said that sentence, and it turned out that he had misremembered it all these years.

Zoe didn't know the probability of such a thing happening in reality, but she knew that memory was indeed an unstable thing.It is like fire, or water, never constant.Sometimes, the memories of a week are turned into one or two momentary fragments, the smell in the air on a certain day, or the sunshine on the bridge before sunset; more often, those cherished memories, memories that people often take out to look through , it will gradually change its taste every time it is chewed, and eventually it will become unrecognizable.

The past is not constant.

But even so, people tend to trust their memories.They believe that the past they remember is real, that they have been shaped by some memories and influenced by others.But the brain has unconsciously found a place for these fragments and inserted them into a framework called "self".

Sometimes when she walks on the street, she feels that the world is like a dream.It is like a huge community, which contains memories belonging to various people and styles.Some float on the street, dyeing the bricks and tiles in the sunset red, and some exist in people's minds, available for people to ask for like commodities on the shelves.

She felt like she was running around like a headless chicken, and all kinds of memory fragments flashed in her mind, some belonged to her, and some did not belong to her.

It doesn't hurt to know who the details of life belong to. She can use other people's memories to go to places she has never been to, eat food she has never eaten, and experience a completely different life.

But these were real memories after all. Could it be that someone she had erased his memory once lived in this nursing home?This seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

It's rare that she can't remember who a memory belongs to, but it's not entirely impossible.But what really made her feel vaguely uneasy was that door, there was something behind that door, something terrifying...

She had an urge to go back and see what was behind the door, and at the same time terribly resisted the idea.

In the left pocket of the clothes, there was also a blood-stained tissue.

At this time, her cell phone rang again, and the blond vice-chairman expressed the hope that he could meet her and tell her about Lucas' murder.He claimed that he must know everything, and that the two of them should have sat down and had a good talk.

Zooey didn't feel that she had any other options, so she agreed.

She put aside her doubts for the time being, and started to go to the agreed place.

Having escaped for so many years, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it for a day or two.

Before walking out of the gate of the white building, she thought so.

"This thing is really weird."

The man in front of him said.

The smile on his face was polite and distant, a little different from the last time she saw him.If you have to say it, it's like going back to the time when you first met.But compared to that time, there was less natural curiosity and more unnecessary politeness.

What exactly caused this shift?

Zooey couldn't tell, but maybe it was a good thing.

"At that time, I was actually tracking down a black market transaction. The content of the transaction was the stumps of unknown creatures." Pariston folded his hands and placed them on the spacious desk. "Of course, I found out later that this matter is related to Ka Jin Guo."

Kajin country?

"It's the one in Aegean. The famous one," Pariston added.

"I know." Zooey hesitated, and added, "Uh. I just came back from there."

"Haha, it's really unpredictable." Pallistone waved his hand, making the assistant who knocked on the door to avoid him for a while, "It turned out that Lucas was found. Obviously, he and Kajin Guo also have some kind of connection in the dark." After the assistant left, Pariston continued, his eyes narrowed, "However, you also know that something like that happened when I went to find him."

"You didn't save him." Zooey pointed out coldly.

The vice president of the Hunter Association just shrugged.

"I probably know that you will go there to find him." Pariston smiled indifferently and said, "Besides, it doesn't hurt me that Lucas is dead."

Zooey sighed.She shouldn't have expected anything from this man.

But the smile in Pariston's eyes looking at her gradually disappeared. His eyes looked at her calmly, as if he was studying an insoluble puzzle.As if a century had passed, he also sighed, and murmured: "It's useless..."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing." The vice president showed a gentle and friendly smile again, "However, I heard about Kajin Guo and Lucas later."

Zooey motioned him to continue.

"Do you know the fourth prince of Kajin Kingdom?"

"Celidonich?"

Pariston narrowed his eyes in satisfaction: "That's right. That's him—did you know that he has an unknown hobby?"

"Ha..." What should she say, she accidentally ran into this fourth prince while walking in the capital of Kajin Kingdom, and accidentally saw his memory?That's why I found out that he has a secret hobby of skinning others?

"Hey~" Pariston looked at her in surprise, "So you know? Little Zoe is really well-informed."

There is something in the words, but forget it, Zooey is too lazy to care about these things.

"Does the fourth prince's personal hobbies have anything to do with Lucas?" Zooey had a vague premonition. What if the fourth prince is interested in Lucas?Could she still break into King Kakin's palace and turn their crown prince into a vegetable? ...Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible. After all, if Di Na hadn't appeared suddenly at that time, she would have almost succeeded.

"Is there a relationship with Lucas... Yes, but it's not that close." Pallistone said, "Do you still remember the agreement between the tenth old man and Lucas?"

"You even know this kind of thing?" Zooey complained.

Pariston waved his hand: "No way, the weak can't keep their ears to the outside world, just
