It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 256 Communicating with You in the Metropolitan Way

Fulla clenched her small basket and stared at the street corner.

She both hoped that it was her father who came, and yet she didn't want it to be her father who came.

Because she didn't know how the other party would appear in front of her.

Finally, the hunter behind the wall showed up.

He wore a white shirt and a multi-button vest with lapels inside, a thick windbreaker outside, equally thick trousers on the bottom, and a pair of leather boots on his feet.

There are a lot of extra pockets and shoulder straps on the windbreaker, probably for placing weapons and supplies.

Combined with the hunter's tall and thin figure, he looks very capable.

What is more special is his hat, which is a triangular hat.

The brim of the hat forms a smooth U-shape on the front, and many triangular cuts are deliberately cut at the tail to make it look like a bird's wings.

Under the brim of the hat was a pale and gloomy face. On the high nose there was an old scratch that extended from the nose to the right corner of the mouth.

"Whoo~"

Fulla let out a long sigh, looking both lost and relieved.

"Pale Night, why are you still hanging around outside?"

The hunter came over with a torch in hand, asking questions as he walked, his voice as heavy as his footsteps.

"Mr. Liu Zheng, let me negotiate?"

Anko said in a questioning tone.

Compared with the residents hiding in the houses, these hunters who have to face the beasts head-on are more nervous and probably cannot adapt to the somewhat eccentric way of speaking of this outsider.

"can."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"I'm Anko, the owner of Anko Tavern. They are my family. Our door was broken down by wild beasts, so we want to seek refuge somewhere else."

Anko walked a little further and answered the hunter's question.

"Where to go?"

The hunter continued to ask.

“The Church of the Church of Sorrow.”

Anko replied.

"Why don't you go to the church of the Blood Healing Church?"

"Because I think there must be a lot of people going to the Blood Healing Church, and we may not be able to get a good placement even if we go there. And there must be very few people going to the Church of Suffering. Even if we have to pay a little price, at least the attitude there must be very enthusiastic."

Anko said honestly.

He spoke clearly and with good reasoning, which eased the hunter's serious expression a little.

"And what about the beast that broke down your gate?"

The hunter asked again.

"We hunted him down."

"Who?"

The hunter's gaze moved away from Anko, and after scanning everyone's faces, it finally stopped on Liu Zheng's face.

"is it you?"

He raised the torch, as if trying to illuminate Liu Zheng's face.

"it's me."

Liu Zheng admitted it straightforwardly.

"You are also a foreigner, but you are not a hunter. You killed the beast, but you don't smell of blood."

The hunter looked a little confused.

"Who are you?"

"Working man."

He shrugged.

The hunter ignored his witticism and looked back and forth at him with bloodshot eyes.

Although the hunter found nothing except the strange attire.

But he always felt that there was something unnatural about the person in front of him.

"There's something wrong with you."

The hunter said.

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Liu Zheng asked with interest.

Of course he was not right, but he was more curious if the hunter could tell.

If even a random hunter could see through his disguise, then that meant Metropolis was just that.

"I don't know, but there's just something wrong with you."

The hunter shook his head and said stubbornly, "So what are you going to do?"

Liu Zheng asked back calmly.

"I need to take you back to the workshop. I can't let a dangerous person like you wander around outside."

The hunter replied.

"No, he still has to escort us to the Church of Pain."

Anko said loudly.

"That has nothing to do with me."

The hunter said indifferently.

They are hunters, not protectors.

"It is because of your attitude that Old Ater became a ruin and so many innocent residents died in that fire!"

The hunter's words angered Anko, and he raised his boning knife, pointing the tip of the knife at the hunter.

"You're going to attack a hunter. Are you going crazy?"

The hunter's eyes turned to Anko, and he sniffed.

"Indeed, I smell blood on you."

He stuck the torch into the wall and then took out a strange-looking weapon from behind him.

It was a large meat saw, which looked somewhat similar to Liu Zheng's serrated butcher knife.

But its handle is curved in an S shape and is wrapped with a lot of bandages.

Although it obviously looked inferior to Liu Zheng's butcher knife in quality, it had a more ferocious feeling.

"Follow me, or I will hunt you."

The hunter opened the mechanism, and the meat saw that had been folded up immediately unfolded.

"Follow you and be slaughtered like pigs and dogs? Don't think I don't know your methods, you inhuman executioners."

Anko was completely enraged by his arrogant attitude and no longer controlled his words.

"You said I was crazy, but you should look at yourself in the mirror first. Look at the blood in your eyes. What's the difference between you and those beasts?"

"The taste of blood, you will soon turn into a beast. Why not..."

The hunter suddenly raised the flintlock in his hand and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The roar of loud gunfire echoed through the alley.

"Hunting early."

The hunter's cold voice spoke only after the bullet had left the gun.

The large bullet instantly traveled through a distance of more than ten meters and shot towards Anko's head.

The flintlock rifle, which looks primitive in shape, bursts out with power greater than that of a rifle due to the addition of mysterious craftsmanship.

Anko's eyes widened. With the enhancement of his blood, he saw the trajectory of the bullet, but his body was unable to dodge it.

"Move! Move!"

He desperately gave orders to his body, but there was no response.

After all, he was not a trained hunter, and he had even received blood treatment very rarely.

Just when Anko thought he was going to die, a butcher knife stood in front of him.

"clang!"

The sound of high-speed metal collision pierced his eardrums, and his body finally moved, rolling to the ground.

The bullet deformed and ruptured under the action of the reaction force, splashing out silver liquid.

That's mercury, and hunters put it in their bullets to increase their lethality to wild animals.

A stream of blood spurted out, sparkling in the firelight.

Liu Zheng looked at his tentacle, which had a gap on it, and an extra red vein on the serrated butcher knife.

This is the "Self-Eating Spirit", which strengthens the attack power at the cost of devouring the master's flesh and blood, and it cannot be turned off.

If an ordinary person used this knife, he would probably kill himself before killing the enemy.

But for Liu Zheng, this loss is just a drop in the bucket.

"I originally thought that going out shopping would cultivate my body and mind, but I didn't expect that people outside the metropolis would be so simple and honest."

He swung the butcher knife, knocking the bullet embedded in it to the ground.

"In that case, I'll communicate with you in the Metropolitan way."

Liu Zheng pointed his hooves and rushed forward suddenly.

The speed is so fast that it even exceeds the bullet shot by the hunter.

When he rushed to the hunter, the wound on his tentacles was completely healed.
