The Demonic Continent.
At the time ratio of 120:1, three months in the Death World is 18 hours here.
From the evening of the previous day to noon of the next day, Ji Xing and Xiao Ai had already been shopping together all morning and were having lunch outside.
Because of the success of the 'First Edition Super Power Medicine' experiment on demons, the next step will be to conduct experiments on hunters, and hunters who meet the test goals must be mature, advanced hunters who are not too far away from mastering the power of spiritual awakening. Elite.
Similar to Xu Shengnan three years ago, such a hunter is enough to serve as the third leader of the Hunter Guild in a third-level city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Like the town where Ji Xing just traveled through, he can even serve as the president of the branch. Even if the headquarters fully cooperates, it still needs 50 volunteers are mobilized in about half a month.
So in this half month, Ji Xing only had some superficial preparations left. Most of the time was on vacation, and he was very free—
The confidentiality of the supernatural drug experimental team is very high, and there are dedicated people responsible for the security of him and Xiao Ai. However, since they are hidden in the city, there is no reason to isolate them to the extent of special purpose.
Two players who are about to become great heroes of the human race are eating at a roadside stall in a low-key manner.
Two portions of golden and attractive pea peas cut into pieces, one portion of beef in sauce and one portion of donkey meat in sauce. The store’s ancestral secret sauce makes it very refreshing and enjoyable to eat.
Sitting opposite Ji Xing, Xiao Ai chewed the food in a "do as the Romans do" manner, while murmuring with some entanglement: "Although the hand-woven cloth bag is ordinary in style, the stitching is fine and beautiful. At first glance, it is the work of an old craftsman." …but another bag made of rare spiritual animal skins…”
She looked up at Ji Xing in embarrassment, then shook her head and lowered her head in disdain, knowing that Ji Xing would definitely say 'want both', and of course they couldn't afford it, but it would be no fun.
Ji Xing gave her a funny look, read Xiao Ai's thoughts, and said, "I think the red one is good too, it especially complements your figure and hair color."
Xiao Ai was startled for a moment and glared at Ji Xing angrily, falling into an even bigger dilemma.
Looks like a good meal.
Ji Xing immersed himself in the meal for a while, until a young man who was also worried came to the corner of the street.
With a face like a heroic girl and a body as well-proportioned as a mature man, it was Yi Nan.
Ji Xing has not seen him for more than three months. At this moment, he can clearly sense that his spiritual power is obviously stronger than before. He waved from a distance: "When did you come back, Yi Nan!"
"Ah, Brother Li He, Sister Xiao Ai." When the worried young man saw them, he immediately ran over and sat aside with a shy smile: "I just came back less than an hour ago, and Uncle Sun said you were here."
"You haven't eaten yet?" Xiao Ai looked at the things on the table: "It happened to be almost eaten by someone who only knows how to eat, and some of it is not enough."
Ji Xing shook his head and waved to the boss: "Exactly the same thing, here's another one!"
"okay!"
Yi Nan didn’t show any pretense. He just said ‘thank you’, then lowered his voice and excitedly said, “I heard that Brother Li He...”
Ji Xing nodded in acknowledgement.
Yi Nan smiled happily: "That's great!"
"Low-key, low-key, I dare not guarantee success now." Ji Xing smiled and said: "What about you, where have you been before? Is this a vacation when you come back?"
"Well, let's take a rest for a while." Yi Nan chuckled: "I was promoted, Brother Li He, and now I am the bottom 100 hunter numbered 997."
"Really? Congratulations." Ji Xing and Xiao Ai immediately sent their blessings to him.
This speed is very fast. It had only been more than half a year since he became a numbered hunter, and he had jumped directly from the thousands to the hundreds. He had gone through a path that an ordinary hunter would not be able to complete in ten years or even a lifetime.
By analogy, she is better than her male sister. She awakened her powers more than a year earlier than Yi Nan and became a numbered hunter earlier. At this moment, she has been promoted from more than 9,000 to more than 8,000, and this is already an upper-middle level!
However, Yi Nan is a genius, and he has Tang Bi, the divine hunter ranked No. 007, as his teacher, who has been leading him to practice. His own "chessboard" ability is a powerful rule system, so it is not too outrageous.
“In this case, the next target is the candidate hunter, come on.” Ji Xing encouraged.
Yi Nan scratched his head and said with both expectation and humility: "I'm still far away. The teacher said that every next step will become more difficult."
“Of course, you are worried about this incident?” Ji Xing asked.
"Uh...oh, no, Brother Li He." Yi Nan scratched his head and said, "Yes...the teacher warned me before not to be complacent just because I got No. 997. The reason why this number is vacant and waiting for me to get it is because Because in the previous No. 997, seniors who were at a similar level to me had been killed by demons.
Every improvement in the number is mostly a warning given to us by the deceased seniors with their lives. We must also carry their lives and work hard, so as not to live up to my glory as a hunter! "
"So it feels heavy?" Ji Xing nodded and said: "What Tang Bi said is right. The monsters you will face will become stronger, more humane, and more cunning as you grow up. You have to be careful. But there is no need to worry. There is too much pressure, believe in your own talent and ability, and the number you get will also be the glory of the deceased seniors and future generations!"
"Um!"
Xiao Ai looked at the two people opposite, turned aside to let the boss serve the food, and said with a smile: "Okay, Yi Nan has just come back, you who are not even a hunter, don't give him any more excuses, just eat first."
Ji Xing smiled: "I can't be a hunter and I can't be an ordinary person watching the growth of the divine hunter? Okay, let's eat first, Yi Nan, where is the divine hunter Tang Bi? Why didn't I come with you to have something to eat?"
“Oh, the teacher has gone home. Let’s go back and eat.”
"Is that so...you still haven't seen your master's wife?" Ji Xing asked.
"Hmm..." Yi Nan nodded heavily, and said with a hopeful smile: "The teacher said that I must convince my wife during this vacation, so that I can prepare to meet her!"
“Oh—” Ji Xing looked into the distance.
…
"I'm back!"
A few streets away, in a remote house that was not considered luxurious, Tang Bi, who had a big beer belly, pushed the door open with his belly and greeted him warmly.
There was no response, and Tang Bi was also unremarkable. Since their only son died due to his mistake more than 20 years ago, the couple has been as indifferent as ordinary neighbors even if they sleep in the same bed.
As a divine hunter, he could clearly sense that his wife was in the bedroom, and sure enough, he walked in. The old woman with half-long gray hair and wrinkles on her face was facing away from him, sewing a cloth bag in her hand facing the sunshine outside the window.
Tang Bi, who looks middle-aged in appearance, is actually 73 years old, and his wife is only two years younger than him. She is not a divine hunter or even a numbered hunter. She has been hit hard, so she is naturally as old as his mother.
Perhaps the estrangement between the two comes from this?
Tang Bi's fleshy face had a tenderness that was never shown outside. He laughed and sat next to her, took away the needle and thread, and held her hand in his. All he got was a dull glance.
“60 years.” Tang Bi said solemnly.
Tang Bi smiled and said: "On this day 60 years ago, I was 13 years old and you were 11 years old. The town we lived in... oh, I forgot the name of it was attacked by a superior demon. Many people died. My parents , your parents, we hid together in a panic, we were all as scared as a sieve."
“…” He was answered with silence.
Tang Bi didn't care and continued to talk to himself: "You are obviously younger than me, but you are more sensible than me. If you hadn't held back the cry and covered my mouth, we would have been eaten by the demon.
Since then I have been stumbling until now. If I repay kindness with hatred, can it be regarded as a promise with my body? Hahaha, you have spent these unpleasant 60 years with me. Alas, if I could do it all over again, I would definitely cover my mouth. "
The answer to him was still silence.
"The person who came to rescue us at that time was Teacher Huang, who was still only an advanced hunter. President Huang, I have not caught up with him for so many years. In the past two years, he has handed over all affairs to Sun Qin, and probably went to seclusion to pursue higher education. It’s a breakthrough in level.”
“He was just a senior hunter, but he left an indelible memory in our young hearts, making us aspire to become hunters.”
“It’s a pity, it’s a pity, if my hunter could give it to you, you would be a hundred times more considerate, and you wouldn’t have come this far step by step…”
“I can’t go back, I can’t go back a long time ago.”
Tang Bi shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately... Yi Nan is a good boy, kind, strong, and has great talents. If you don't like to hear it, he is much better than our son, hahahaha, I heard that Regarding our affairs, he still hesitated to become my adopted son, but I didn’t agree.
The master-disciple relationship is enough. You can meet him in a few days. Being a hunter is very tiring. I have a lot of things to do, and you don’t want to see my face. "
He gently pressed his wife's hand twice with his big hand, and without waiting for the unknown answer, he stood up and said: "Okay, it's settled. Really, I told you to come back today, and I didn't even wait for a moment." Prepare some food, forget it, I’ll go out to buy something and come back and cook it for you!”
The body carried the wind and walked away. After a long time, his wife picked up the needle and thread to sew the cloth bag again. She still remained silent, but her eyes were slightly red, and her face was as old as 81 years old with sadness and reluctance.
After leaving home, Tang Bi did not go shopping for groceries as he said, but went straight to the Hunter Guild headquarters and found Sun Qin. Sun Qin was a little surprised when facing Tang Bi who had just left and returned shortly. After hearing Tang Bi's words, he stood up in shock.
“What?! Are you going to change your major?!”
“What, am I not qualified?”
“…enough, of course it is enough.”
Sun Qin was speechless and stopped talking.
As the divine hunter numbered 007, Tang Bi has power above him, and ranked among the top ten divine hunters, the quality of spiritual power reserves is basically at the same level. The difference is more in the technical and tactical level and the power of supernatural powers. above.
They are all eligible for transfer.
But the first step for a **** to hunt and fuse demons to advance to a higher level of **** is to allow the weakest demon to eat the brain, stabilize the human will, be reborn in the body of the demon, and transform into a cultivator!
Obviously, the more determined and extraordinary the divine hunter is, the more likely he is to succeed. And because of Tang Bi's ability to "repay double the loan", he contracted a series of problems such as alcoholism. It is not derogatory to say that his The success rate is the bottom one!
“You…Brother Tang…think about it again…”
"This is my decision after careful consideration." Tang Bi said seriously: "There are still fifteen and a half years before the demon tide. Now, if I succeed, I will have the ability to train to the level of 'god'!
You may have missed it if you put it off any longer. Didn’t Teacher Huang rush to change majors in the past two years? You don’t need to deny it, everyone can guess some, and it seems that he is successful and normal. He has always been a great person.
Furthermore, Li He’s superpower medicine is about to be completed, and Yi Nan has grown to a level where he can be independent. I can rest assured that my success rate will be greatly increased! Is there a more appropriate time? "
“Then, that sister-in-law’s side…”
"She... is not in the way." Tang Bi was silent for a few seconds and then said with a smile: "Don't worry about her. We have tortured each other for so many years, and now there is Yi Nan. Sun Qin, just arrange it for me, the time... is set at In 18 days, after watching the test of the supernatural medicine!"
Sun Qin stared into his eyes with confirmation, only seeing determination. After a long time, he sighed, put his hand on Tang Bi's shoulder, and pressed it hard.
At the market, Yi Nan, who had eaten enough, was facing the three bags in front of him and Xiao Ai's inquiry. He scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Ji Xing for help.
Ji Xing stood not far away with his hands in his pockets, not paying attention to Xiao Ai and Yi Nan in front of him.
…
Four days later, in the morning.
After being summoned by the headquarters, the first hunter who was going to participate in the experiment on the supernatural medicine came to Zhongdu.
The name of this superior hunter is Liu Yuwang. His identity is very similar to that of Xu Shengnan. He is the captain of the hunter brigade in a third-level city. However, he is 53 years old and has been a superior hunter for 17 years, but he has never been able to absorb spiritual power. body.
He has a lot of experience in his resume, but he cannot extend his life as a hunter without a number. At this age, his strength is almost declining. So after hearing that "the capital requires senior hunters to perform certain tasks that are life-threatening," he responded to the call without hesitation.
So Ji Xing Xiaoai, who had been on vacation for five days, got a little busy. Without his knowledge, he had people test his various indicators, and got a unanimous judgment that he was consistent with the experiment.
However, when he was placed to rest, Ji Xing frowned slightly when he walked into Xiao Ai's private laboratory.
Xiao Ai, who was leaning in front of the high-power microscope, stood up and spread his hands towards Ji Xing. Ji Xing tilted the corners of his mouth and moved closer to the microscope.
Double-stranded DNA is nested in circular DNA, and the double-stranded DNA has obvious breakage points!
This is Liu Yuwang’s blood test result!
Being able to detect monsters that cannot be identified by ordinary means through microscopic examination is a secret that only two people know! In a popular sense, Liu Yuwang is an out-and-out high-ranking demon!
"Oh, the first one to come is the demon. I don't know how many of the 50 people there will be in the end." Ji Xing shook his head, looked at Xiao Ai and said, "And I obviously didn't tell him about the supernatural medicine. What happened just now?" The hostility towards you and me is very obvious in my eyes.
It seems... there is a bad person in the upper echelons of the Hunter Guild, and there is a high probability that it is a certain divine hunter. "
Xiao Ai glanced at the high-level demon in front of him and asked, "Do you want to conduct a secret investigation?"
“...Just wait and see.” Ji Xing replied.
…
the other side.
Nearly five days have passed in the main world, and time in the Death World has passed even faster. January 2003 has arrived in the blink of an eye.
A full year and nine months have passed since the initial invasion of Ji Xing. A year and a half has passed since Aizen entered hell. There are still more than three months left before the seal of Yhwach is lifted.
Hirakawa Kouki has turned 18, and Kurosaki Ichigo and others are about to enter their senior year of high school!
4k2 to survive, please vote for me at the end of the month.
Well, something wasn’t good. The hospital attendants were very careful during the four days and didn’t seem to escape. I felt a little uncomfortable. Observe and observe, tomorrow it will fluctuate between no update, one update and two updates. The symptoms of Zaoyang should be lighter. I'm not sure if that's the case, maybe it's just the fatigue from the previous four days.
