Chapter 459 Bonfire Party
“I’m tired”
This sentence is simply a purification of human civilization. This simple sentence expresses so much helplessness and bitterness.
Hunter's Dream.
Fann sat down exhausted among the white flowers. Although his body did not appear to have any obvious injuries, his mental state gave people the illusion that he was covered in bruises.
It was as if the young man in front of him had died from countless attacks.
As for death, I have died many, many times.
It’s all because the people of Yharnam are so welcoming.
The enthusiasm was so great that they chopped it into skewers and roasted it over the fire.
He was really grilled by Chuan Chuan Xiang!
However, every time he died, this strange dungeon would always allow him to "revive" in a fully recovered state, and he would only feel a slight headache every time he woke up.
The only obvious change was the weapon in his hand. The meat saw had more spots on it, and even the hunter's pistol had a few more claw marks because he used it to block attacks.
He could hardly tell whether what he was experiencing was reality or a dream. If it was reality, why did his torn clothes recover every time after he was resurrected?
But if it was a dream, why did the wear and tear on the weapons remain?
Several little messengers suddenly appeared beside him, waving their thin arms as if to cheer him up.
"Thank you."
Vann grinned weakly. In this dungeon where everyone would come to him with a knife to chop him, it seemed that the messenger was the only creature that would communicate with him.
Once you get used to them, these little guys seem pretty cute. I kind of want to take one home and raise it.
He regained some strength, climbed out of the flowers, walked past the still motionless puppet, and walked towards the house at the top.
The door of the house opened automatically when he arrived here after his second death.
The scenery inside was somewhat different from what he had imagined. It was not a house to live in at all, but more like a workshop.
Various tools that he knew or didn't know were placed here, and there was even an operating table. When he approached, several new messengers appeared on the operating table. One was responsible for collecting the weapon maintenance fee from him, and the others were responsible for repairing the weapons.
That's right, the messenger would actually charge him for repairing weapons, and the money they collected was not gold or silver, but something called "Blood Echo", or "Soul".
This kind of thing would automatically appear on his body as he killed the enemy, which surprised Vann when he first learned about it. Killing enemies and plundering their souls made him feel as if he had become an evil Dementor in a fairy tale.
Therefore, he still prefers to call what he obtains after killing the enemy the echo of blood, which sounds more elegant than simply the soul.
Now he was used to the existence of these things, because the number of blood echoes on his body did not seem to have any effect on him.
In addition to being used to commission the messenger to repair weapons, these things can also be used to buy some common props from the messenger at an altar outside, such as blood bottles, mercury bullets, and even stones that can be found everywhere.
He really wanted to complain, why would a stone that only looked very round and was useless except for being thrown out to attract the enemy's attention be sold for 100 Blood Echoes.
There is no quantity limit for these things, but the price will go up every time you buy a few, and eventually he will probably be unaffordable. Doesn't this give him the opportunity to stockpile supplies?
But it doesn't matter. This time, there is only one thing that Fann really wants to buy:
[Incendiary bomb]
[The Fire Bottle will explode when thrown at the enemy. It is a hunting tool that has existed in hunter workshops since ancient times.]
[Just like when facing the tragedy that happened in Old Yharnam, hunters believe that fire should be used to hunt wild beasts. Perhaps because of this, some wild beasts are morbidly afraid of fire.]
After exchanging the few remaining Blood Echoes on his body with the messenger for incendiary bombs, Vann revealed a sinister smile.
You like bonfire parties, right?
Warmly welcome strangers, right?
I'll let you taste what it feels like to be roasted by fire!
He refused to believe in evil and decided to take down the bonfire party!
Carrying the incendiary bomb, Vann rushed to the tombstone and teleported himself to the Yusefka Clinic.
In the workshop in the hunter's dream, an empty wheelchair swayed gently.
The atmosphere in Yharnam City is always difficult to adapt to.
From time to time, the screams of terrifying wild beasts would pierce the sky. You never know where a beast-like citizen might jump out from. Even the dogs and crows here are the same size as humans. If you approach them rashly, you will only have your flesh torn off.
Vann stood in front of the door of Yusefka's clinic, took a few deep breaths, suppressed the slight fear on his pale face, and resolutely walked out of the clinic that symbolized safety.
This time he did not choose to live in the dark and narrow alleys like a rat again, but walked openly on the street, with his cloak fluttering and his blade flashing coldly.
The alleys may bring a sense of security to people, but if one covets that sense of security, one will never grow.
This was the life lesson he learned after being blocked in an alley and killed by beast-like citizens for the third time.
There are no cowards, it's just that not enough people have died.
As expected, this posture quickly attracted the attention of the beast-like citizens, and a battle broke out immediately.
There was a serious look in his eyes, and he dodged every slight movement of the enemy, never thinking that it was a useless feint. It was also because of this that he avoided the common moves of the beastmen - pretending to chop out a soft blow, and then slashing wildly like a zombie swordsman.
It is no problem to deal with two or three beastly citizens at the same time. Every transformation of the meat saw is accompanied by the death of a life. Vann has a strong sense of ritual. When he has time, he chooses to use the transformation slash to end the enemy. In fact, this is also to cause greater trauma to the enemy and save time for finishing off the enemy.
It seemed that starting from the third or fourth time he died, he found that he could deal with these enemies more and more skillfully, and the serious state that he once bet on the probability of occurrence gradually seemed to become permanent.
Although he would sometimes be frightened by monsters that suddenly appeared, when the fight really started, he was like a hunter who was becoming more skilled.
After crossing the boundary of death, the factors that once caused his death will become the driving force for his growth.
Whether it's beastmen, hounds, crows or little giants holding bricks, he has already learned how to deal with these guys.
The only pity is that he hasn't mastered the [Gun Counter] skill very well.
After getting rid of the three beast-like citizens, Fann continued along the road towards his destination, which was the first threshold for all outsiders entering Yharnam - the bonfire party.
To this day he still can't figure out how that beastly citizen discovered him from such a long distance, but ever since he chose to fight the Bonfire Party head-on, that situation has never happened again.
You can't explain it as the dungeon did it on purpose that time, right?
"Forget it, let's get started."
There were double-digit numbers of beast-like citizens wandering around the torches, but if one looked closely, one could find that the distance between them was neither close nor far, and a single incendiary bomb could only hit three or four of them at most.
Fann's arrival caused a stir in the party.
"Bang!"
The moment before the gunshot rang out, he rushed towards the gun-wielding beastman closest to him as if he had predicted it, and threw a stone with great force, hitting the opponent's forehead. This was not fatal but enough to make him fall off the carriage.
This is the bird hunting technique his father taught him when he was a child!
Without finishing off the fallen enemy, he used the same method to knock the other two gunmen off the carriage. By then, most of the beastmen had surrounded him, and the situation was critical.
Vann, however, knocked the nearest enemy away with an elbow, and climbed onto the carriage with a few steps. He had knees!
Only by shooting down the gunman in advance could he avoid being shot as a living target on the roof of the carriage in a short period of time. This was the bloody lesson learned from the previous death.
Then, he took out a bottle filled with blood-red liquid from his arms. It was blood drawn from his own body!
When the bottle fell to the ground and the fragrance of blood bloomed, the beastly citizens who were dismantling the carriage with their bare hands rushed towards the blood.
The enemy's blood not only attracts Vann, but Vann's blood can also attract enemies, but the effect is far worse than the regular [Enemy-Luring Skull] and [Punchy Blood Cocktail].
An excited look appeared on Vann's face, just like a novice hunter who excitedly watched prey step into his trap, and he couldn't suppress this emotion.
When the last group of beastmen stepped into his ideal attack range, he immediately threw another object at the crowd.
【Oil bottle】
[After being thrown at the target, the target will be soaked with oil and become highly flammable]
[Fire is very common in hunting. Oil jars can enhance its effect. Some hunters who burn wild animals may also indulge in the pleasure brought by purification.]
The sticky oil spilled on the beast-like citizens, and before they could react, an explosion suddenly sounded beside them, followed by a raging fire!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Vann threw out all the incendiary bombs on his body at once. Smelling the smell of burnt flesh and blood and listening to the howling of wild beasts, he suddenly understood why some hunters were addicted to burning wild beasts!
Looking at the fire that seemed to be able to purify everything, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Finally, he finally ended this bonfire party that had made him so distressed!
This is a big step for him!
The fire gradually dissipated, but there were still several beastly citizens who were not burned to death. After a little thought, Vann realized that he was too hasty and did not use the right force when throwing the incendiary bomb, so he missed these few.
"I still have a lot of hunting skills to learn."
“Crack—”
The meat saw suddenly changed shape, and looking at those hideous beast-like citizens, the cowardly expression on his face disappeared, and he jumped down with his weapon raised high!
Soon after, Vann, who seemed to have rolled in a river of blood, walked to a lantern, and the messengers all leaned out to look at him.
In addition to the Yusefka Clinic, he actually found a second lantern on another street not far from the bonfire party. It was called the Yharnam Center.
However, because there was no one around the lantern, which made people feel unsafe, he usually chose to appear at the Yusefka Clinic.
But in terms of distance, the lantern in the center of Yharnam is the closest.
Having just finished the bonfire party, he had what he considered to be a huge sum of Blood Echoes, and he couldn't wait to return to the Hunter's Dream to spend it.
Yes, he now feels stressed because of the large number of Blood Echoes he carries with him and dares not take any risks.
A hunter suit can also be purchased from the messenger. Vann thinks it's time to change his tattered clothes and wear a handsome outfit.
Just as he touched the lantern and was about to return to the hunter's dream.
The lights in the house next door suddenly came on.
A voice that sounded somewhat weak came:
"Oh, are you a hunter?"
