Chapter 245 The Chaser
What the hell is this?!
Vic was filled with horror.
The guy who was still alive and dead half a minute ago actually killed three pursuers in an instant. What kind of terrifying strength is this? At least Vic has never seen such a powerful hunter.
Wait, is he really a hunter?
Hunter is a profession unique to this land, but the man in front of him is obviously not from Wildfire.
He should be a Shengyin talent.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Vic questioned Bai Wei, but his words were clearly not confident enough, after all, his only weapon had been destroyed by the pursuers just now.
"Don't be nervous." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Although we were only a little bit away from the enemy just now, you didn't do that after all, right?"
Just a little distance away?
Vic immediately realized that Bai Wei was talking about his initial plan to kill him.
This immediately made Vic break out in a cold sweat.
In other words, this guy has been awake all the time?
Once I really plan to take action, this guy will...
Vic understood what Bai Wei meant by "The lucky person is you."
"Yes, I didn't hurt you." Vic tried to keep his words calm as much as possible. "I also left some medicine for you, do you remember?"
"Of course." Bai Wei smiled and shook the medicine bottle that Vic had just given him. There was only one pill left in it, but it also made a crisp sound. "I got it."
"I gave you the medicine to save your life, and you saved mine, so we don't owe each other anything... Well, I should still owe you something." Vic swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat, "If we meet again in the future, I will repay you."
As Vic spoke, he moved his body back little by little so that he could rush out of Senluo Church in the shortest time possible.
Although the nights in this land are very dangerous, Vic now feels that no matter how dangerous it is, it is still safer than the person in front of him.
Vic's little movements naturally did not escape Bai Wei's eyes. In fact, not only his little movements, but also his mental activities were heard clearly by Bai Wei.
"You don't have to be so nervous." Bai Wei's tone was very relaxed. "We've made a good start, haven't we?"
"A good head?"
"Yes, for partners, a good relationship of trust always starts with small collaborations or small transactions," Bai Wei said. "From this perspective, haven't we made a good start?"
Vic understood what Bai Wei meant: "You want to cooperate with me?"
"Cooperation, transaction, you can interpret it however you want."
"What do you want?" Vic said suspiciously, "I'm out of medicine."
"Don't worry, I don't want medicine." Perhaps to verify his words, Bai Wei threw the medicine bottle in his hand towards Vic. After Vic took it with surprise, he said again, "What I want is you."
Vic's suspicion instantly turned into vigilance: "What do you mean?"
"Don't be nervous... and don't think too much." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I just need your help. As you can see, my physical condition is not very good now, so I need a helper to help me move around better in this land."
Not feeling well?
If Vic had not seen Bai Wei kill the three pursuers instantly with his own eyes, he might still have believed Bai Wei's words.
But then again, Vic could indeed feel something strange about Bai Wei's body.
And his extraordinary sense of smell also told him that this guy was indeed seriously injured.
In other words, Bai Wei was lying here not just to fish, but to really recuperate from his injuries.
This made Vic feel a little relieved. After all, if Bai Wei was really waiting for him here... then it seemed that there was nothing he could do.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Vic asked.
"Assistant, guide." Bai Wei shrugged and said, "When an outsider first arrives here, he always needs the help of a hunter, right?"
Bai Wei's reasons were very sufficient.
Because when this land was not so dangerous, there were indeed outsiders entering, and at that time they would mostly hire hunters to ensure their personal safety.
It’s just that Vic really doesn’t think he can guarantee Bai Wei’s safety.
So he didn't intend to agree, but he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he could only say: "Then you found the wrong person."
"Why?"
"It's obvious." Vic pointed at the body at his feet. "I'm being hunted, right?"
"It doesn't matter." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Me too."
Vic: “…”
I almost forgot that this guy was chased here.
And the people chasing him seem to be equally troublesome.
"Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if we were to get together?" Vic said, "Aren't you afraid of being a burden to each other?"
"It doesn't matter to me."
...But I do care!
Vic almost blurted out.
"Haha." Bai Wei saw Vic's dilemma and said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. If you want to reject me, you don't need to find so many reasons. The transaction between us should be voluntary."
Seeing Bai Wei say this, Vic nodded after a brief hesitation: "Sorry sir, I really can't accept your commission, and for safety reasons, I shouldn't stay with you anymore."
Vic said as he backed away to the door.
Just one more step and he would be able to leave this terrifying place.
"To be honest, I have nothing to repay you if you really don't need this bottle of medicine." Vic said, "So I can only give you a suggestion from a hunter, which is... Never go out at night."
After saying that, Vic pushed open the door of the church and turned around to leave.
Of course, he also raised his vigilance to the highest level.
Once he heard footsteps behind him, he would immediately run into the darkness without looking back. Nothing could stop him.
"Don't you want to find your little wolf?"
Bai Wei's light voice reached his ears.
With these words, Vic's originally tense body froze in an instant.
He slowly turned his head and saw Bai Wei still standing under the statue of Senluo. The moonlight shone in through the gap in the door he pushed open, falling right on Bai Wei and the statue.
From Vic's perspective, Bai Wei seemed like the incarnation of the deceased God of Senluo in the human world.
"What...are you talking about?" Vic said. "What little wolf? I don't know."
"Really?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "If you don't know, forget it. Maybe I remembered it wrongly. That little wolf named Ade."
Vic stared at Bai Wei intently.
"How is it?" Bai Wei asked, "Are you still going?"
After a while, Vic closed the door he had just opened, and slowly walked towards Bai Wei in the church which had returned to darkness.
…
In a corner of the borderland, [Hunter Lauren] understood something when he saw his subordinates returning one by one but did not see the shadow of Vic.
"Gentlemen, it seems that your pursuit ability, which you are so proud of, is just so-so." Lauren said lightly, "Can't you even catch a child who has not completed the ritual?"
Faced with Lauren's undisguised taunting, Wildfire's pursuers did not dare to complain and could only try to explain: "The situation at the border is too complicated. We have captured his whereabouts several times, but in the end we still couldn't find him."
"Then have you ever thought that he didn't leave at all, but turned back?"
"Ah, this..." The pursuers looked at each other, "Isn't it possible?"
"I'm sorry, gentlemen," Lauren said, "but that kid is playing with not only your sense of smell, but also your brain."
As he spoke, he took out a blood-stained whistle.
"When I came out to look for you, I had already deployed some people on the road that the kid came from. And an hour ago, I heard a whistle, which indicated that the kid had gone back. And you guys are still wandering around this place, like stupid dogs lured away by shit."
Lauren's words became more and more outrageous, but the people present were still angry but dared not say anything. They just lowered their heads and endured it silently.
Only one person asked in confusion: "But I don't understand, why does he want to go back?"
"This is very obvious." Lauren put away the whistle and said calmly, "Compared to the fact that we have been worried that he would disclose the biggest secret of the church, he is more concerned about finding the lost dog."
After hearing Lauren say this, the pursuers present finally laughed out loud.
"At least our worst fears didn't happen," said one of the pursuers. "Since your men have captured him..."
"No, I didn't say my men caught him." Lauren interrupted the pursuer, "In fact, shortly after receiving the whistle, I lost contact with my men."
The pursuers looked at each other.
"Could it be that he killed your men?" someone said, "But that doesn't make sense. He didn't even complete the ritual, how could he have such power?"
"Are you asking me this?" Lauren looked at the pursuer who asked the question. "If I remember correctly, the boss handed the child over to you, not to me, right?"
The pursuer immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Lauren, I overstepped my bounds."
"You did overstep your bounds. I hope you guys know that the boss values that child very much." Lauren said, "It's best not to make the boss wait too long, otherwise you know the consequences."
Everyone shuddered involuntarily.
"Also, even though the kid didn't complete the ritual, his aptitude is really outstanding." Lauren said calmly, "So, if you don't want to lose your life, you'd better be more serious."
Everyone immediately leaned forward and said in unison: "Thank you for your reminder, Lord Lauren."
"Okay, you can leave now." Lauren said, "The border area is not our territory after all, so don't be too ostentatious."
Everyone dispersed.
Just as they were retreating, they suddenly thought of a question.
Since Lauren was not here to help them capture Vic, why did he come to the border?
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask directly, so they had to leave immediately.
In the end, Lauren was left with only two pursuers.
Lauren looked at one of them and said, "How is it, are you sure?"
"It's confirmed, Lord Lauren," one of the pursuers replied, "Rhine has indeed taken action, and their vanguard has even entered the border area, but the specific purpose has not yet been clarified."
Lauren narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Rhine Church, their mortal enemy, after all, in name only, they are clearly divided into good and evil.
But in fact, there has been no major friction between the two sides for more than ten years.
After all, everyone knows about Rhine's problems.
Although they possessed the unrivaled God-chosen Knights, they were no longer able to expand due to their numbers, and could only watch the wildfires bordering them grow stronger and stronger.
But now, they suddenly sent people into the border area and targeted them.
What is the reason for this?
Lauren came here in person just to find out this.
"When was the last time we had contact with Rhine?" Lauren asked.
“About half a year ago.”
"Half a year ago?" Lauren recalled, then frowned slightly, "[Roger the Bite]?"
"Yes." The pursuer nodded. "Half a year ago, after we learned that Visas' body parts had been exposed, the boss sent Roger the Bite into the Rhine territory, but there was no news after just one night. After that, the village was completely blocked by the Rhine Knights, and we had no chance."
"Is that so?" Lauren muttered to himself, "Rhine, Visas' body parts... Are they coming for the body parts again?"
As soon as he had this idea, he rejected it immediately.
"No, no, no, that doesn't make sense. Even if Rhine craves corpses, he won't make a big fuss over corpses that already have owners, especially on our territory."
He slowly closed his eyes.
"It's not just Rhine. Tianqin and Shengyin are also having problems one after another... Shengyin is still hunting down the last Seventh Tone Player and has also come here. Could there be any connection between them?"
Lauren felt that she was almost finding the key to the problem, just a little bit away.
But it is precisely because of that little bit that the lack of information prevents him from making a more accurate judgment.
But at least he knew what he should do.
"We have to keep them out." Lauren said to his men, "Boss, this is the most critical moment. Nothing can go wrong during this period. Do you understand?"
The two pursuers immediately leaned forward and said, "Got it."
"You have to understand."
Lauren turned her head, looked at the intersection in the night, and then spoke softly.
“This is the most critical time.”
"Just wait until the boss becomes the master."
"Then we won't have to live in the night anymore."
