[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

They all became Arthur's subordinates - then people finally realized what a terrible ability to manipulate memory.

A person's memory is his life.

"Speaking of it, kid," Arthur said suddenly on the road, "you don't think I'll reveal the location of the orphanage to those tails behind you, do you?"

"Eh?" The knight was a little startled by this sudden question, but quickly realized, "Haha, Mr. Arthur, what are you talking about?"

"In the end, I have already let those little bastards find other places to fend for themselves. Alas, the child is disobedient when he grows up, and he is not as cute as my Zoe at all. I have to set up some kind of phantom brigade Group... Bah. I said boy, you might be quite suitable for them. Don't you think about giving up your bald old man and playing with your peers more? It will also help your physical and mental health..."

Seeing that the knight didn't reply, Arthur didn't care, shook his head and continued:

"The child hasn't experienced any hardships since he was a child. It's my fault. If I carefully check whether the gifts I brought them have been tampered with at that time, it will be fine, or I am getting old and my heart is not as careful as before. ..."

Xia Ke frowned: "Are you talking about Zoe?"

"Yeah," Arthur rubbed the knight's head with his hands. The latter wanted to avoid it, but finally stood still, "Do you think it was purely accidental that she became like that? There is no such thing in the world." Kind of a coincidence."

They now came to a clearing surrounded by a ring of garbage mountains.

The knight clenched his left hand tightly.

His time is running out.

"Arthur," the knight said suddenly, "I heard that you can restore people's memories."

The man's brown eyes looked over, and the sharp look in his eyes surprised the knight.

But soon Arthur showed that nonchalant smile again.

"Boy, do you want to restore your memory?" He asked, then looked into the distance, "Sometimes it's a good thing to forget."

"I think." Xia Ke said, with a rare serious expression on his face. "I don't want to forget."

"Really..." Arthur didn't look at him, but continued to gaze at the piles of rubbish mountains in front of him. Today is a rare sunny day, and the sun shines through the clouds, making the scenery in front of him very beautiful. Somewhat unreal.

"I'm sorry I can't help you," Arthur said, "Knight, you know? Sometimes—"

However, he couldn't finish this sentence, and the cold blade pierced his heart.

The young man held the blade with both hands, and his green eyes were as cold as ice.He drew out the dagger, and then stabbed Arthur several times, watching Arthur's body fall indifferently.

Arthur had just called the knight by his name for the first time, instead of calling him "boy" or "brat" as usual, but it wasn't a big deal, was it?

Behind the garbage mountain, several figures appeared.

"Good job, knight." One of them said, "Finally got rid of this damn Greystone. Sure enough, this kind of spiritual ability user is going to take advantage of it. It's just that this unsightly guy has always been too guarded." , otherwise it would have been cleaned up long ago.”

The knight laughed mockingly in his heart.

How could Arthur not know that the knight was a spy sent by the elders of the East District?He just deliberately pointed out the people who followed him just now to tell the knight that he knew it all along.The knight did not kill Arthur Greystone by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, but for other reasons.

Even though Arthur knew, he still chose to believe in the knight.

I believe that knights will not betray.

So stupid.

"Is that the woman left next? Can I leave it to you, knight?"

The knight squatted down, looked at the breathless Arthur, and then wiped the blade with his clothes.

"No problem, leave it to me."

After getting up, the knight replied with a smile on his face.

Arthur's consciousness was fading away.

He could vaguely feel the crowd surrounding him, and his body was getting cold.After all, physical ability has never been his strong suit.Before going out, he left his mind ability at home in some way - by Zoe's side. I don't know if she can find out?

Zoe's body is not a living thing, so she cannot learn the mind ability based on life energy.That's the only way she'll have power.

manipulating human memory.It's easy to say, but every time a capable user manipulates a person's memory, he must receive that person's corresponding memory.A part of that person's soul will remain with you.

Even if only a little bit, you also become less of you.

At the beginning, the people who came to ask Arthur to erase his memory were desperate and suffering people. He inherited these sufferings so that they could start a new life.

This is a special ability to read, which is passed down from generation to generation through imprinting.

This ability is both a blessing and a curse, but if it's her, it must be fine.

Arthur thought of the blond boy who knocked on his door about half a year ago and asked for his memory to be erased.The green eyes were lifeless, like a walking dead.

He thought of the vitality in the boy's eyes in the past few months.

Everything in the world is gradually moving away from him, and soon these things are none of his business.Death brought him eternal rest, and the only thing Arthur was worried about was Zoe, who was afraid that she would never be able to enjoy this peace.

As for the knight, he thought, sometimes, the knight may not even know what kind of potential he has...

betray

Arthur's room was a mess, with clothes and papers strewn everywhere.Zooey found a photo on his desk, a photo with their family.Zooey couldn't help picking up the photo. At that time, her parents were still young, and she was less than ten years old. Her mother was holding her younger brother, and they all looked happy.

Zooey remembered that she had secretly slipped a "love letter" to Uncle Arthur on her 15th birthday. At that time, he found her the next day and said jokingly that she was too young. If there is no change, he will think about it.

Now that she's an adult, age doesn't move on.In fact, that night she finally got up the courage to confess to Arthur again. This time Arthur didn't say that she was too young, but gave her a pendant.The pendant was engraved with complicated words, and Zooey didn't seem to figure out what it was.Arthur made a silent gesture and told her that she would know later.

There is a kind of person who just won't settle down.Zooey knew that Arthur Graystone was such a person.She also knew that after becoming a zombie, it was unlikely that she would have any close relationship with anyone (after all, she would still be infected with the zombie virus), but she didn't think it mattered, she just wanted to say it.

However, this time Arthur said that he would protect her with his life.

Zoe didn't need Arthur to protect her with his life, and she didn't know what to say about him, considering she was actually dead and he was still alive.Such a life-and-death transaction is a loss-making transaction no matter how you think about it.

Soon Zoe found the thing that Arthur left for the child in the most conspicuous place on the table, but before leaving, a note caught her attention, and she couldn't help but look at it——

"Here, your stuff."

After the results were wrapped, the black-haired boy nodded and was about to leave.

"By the way," Zoe said before he left, "I'm Zoe Corleone. I haven't asked your name yet. What's your name?"

The black-haired boy stopped at the door and looked back at her, with a strange light shining in his black eyes. "Kurolo," he said, "Kurolo Rushiru." Then he raised the book in his hand, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zooey replied, closing the door.

After seeing off Kurolo, Zooey went back to her seat to read the book that taught people how to raise bees.She dozed off as soon as she watched, she seemed to have a very sad dream, in which countless memories were howling, she saw the cold green, the blood-stained brown, she might have cried, But zombies don't have the physical response to cry when they're emotional.

In the haze, she opened her eyes, and the room looked the same as when she fell asleep, except that the sun outside the window had already set, and the setting sun shone into the room, and the dust floating in the air could be seen through the light.But something is not quite right.Although the room was very quiet, Zooey could instinctively feel the presence of someone.She didn't know if it was the zombie's sixth sense of the living, but she had been very sensitive to such things since she became a zombie.So she got up cautiously, and picked up an iron rod as a self-defense weapon.

That person is in the back room.

Zooey moved cautiously and quietly, raised the iron bar in front of the door, and then quickly pushed the door open.

"Sister Zoe?" The boy's voice reached his ears, "Are you awake?"

Zooey couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "It's a knight." She tilted her head and looked around.She still couldn't let go of what she saw in the dream just now. "Are you alone? Where's Arthur?"

"Arthur is dead."

Zoe froze in place.

"what?"

"Arthur is dead, I killed him." The knight said with a smile.

Zooey didn't know what it would be like to hear such news if she was still alive.Are your hands and feet cold?But her hands and feet were always cold.will she cryBut she couldn't cry anymore.Or, angrily rushing towards the knight?She didn't know, she just felt full of confusion at this moment.

"why?"

"Why? Hmm~" Xia Ke jumped off the chair and walked up to Zoe, "Because he's useless, right? Actually, I can't tell. I'm not good at this kind of problem."
