7. Dead Man
"A twisted man walked a twisted road; holding a twisted sixpence in his hand, he stepped onto the twisted steps; he bought a twisted cat, and the cat caught a twisted mouse; they lived together in a twisted hut.
"
Hevin hummed a tune and took a carving knife to leave complicated patterns on the shotgun.
There are many ways to survive as a witcher.
Hevin's method is the kind that disgusts everyone of his kind.
He has always claimed to the outside world that he relies on his resourcefulness and knowledge to set traps for the weaknesses of monsters and fool them to death.
Of course this is not how he really deals with monsters.
Compared with these, what is more important to a demon hunter is a weapon that can hurt monsters.
And his weapons are forbidden knowledge and props.
The so-called taboos do not look scary. For demon hunters, as long as they can destroy monsters, they don't care how dirty the methods are.
Taboos are things that can lead humans to become evil and crazy. Most people with good nature will be contaminated by them. Even if they are not corrupted, they will suffer from mental illness and eventually end their lives in torture, or
It's a descent into eternal madness.
Even ordinary villains are not immune to its influence.
Hewen showed an evil smile and raised the shotgun: "Hahahaha, with it, all monsters and evil people will fall at my feet."
Don't get me wrong, Hewen is not affected by the forbidden power, it's just that when he is alone, he will behave more naturally.
There are still a few people in the world who can completely ignore the influence of taboo power, and Hevin is one of them.
The bullets of the shotgun are mixed with lead and silver, which can not only cause huge damage to monsters, but also inhibit the potential self-healing ability.
The butt of this shotgun is engraved with ancient incantations, which are different from the wizard's magic incantations. These incantations are more primitive, direct, and powerful.
If necessary, this shotgun can devour the enemy's soul, but when used by ordinary people, their own souls will often be devoured first.
This is his means of attack, and he does not need means of defense.
He won't die.
During those years when he was a witcher, he was not immortal. The reason why he was not afraid of death was simple.
He has been dead for a while.
These things were not prepared for Hala, but to deal with the monster Jimmy saw.
He planned to take Ha La to hide in a safe place first, and then plan to deal with those who imprisoned her.
"Well, we need to make more preparations. The old demon hunter can't make a mistake when he returns to battle, otherwise he will be embarrassed."
After the monster appeared, the demon hunter activated the magic circle he had prepared before. It was impossible for it to enter this town, but there was still a worst possibility.
That's it already in this town.
Jimmy stayed up all night last night.
After he met the monster, it was difficult for him to sleep well.
He was not afraid of the monster itself, but of a possibility.
A possibility that he didn't even want to think deeply about.
That night, his father blocked the entire utility room door with his fat body, preventing him from entering. Did he want to hide something? But why would he want to hide something?
And why, when he closed the curtains, turned off the lights, and lay on the bed pretending to sleep, his father never came back to the house, or even throughout the night.
Jimmy asked his mother. She slept in the store because she was too busy that day, and she had told her husband before that she would not go home tonight.
Then Ogden, Jimmy's father, could never be waiting for his mother.
Jimmy gave some vague hints about this matter to his sister Nellie, but Nellie also refused to believe it.
The blond boy held his eyebrows. He didn't know what he should do. He originally wanted to tell Hevin his suspicions, but before he could speak, the mayor drove him away.
Jimmy comforted himself and said:
"At least I invited him to the banquet, and my father didn't stop him. Maybe I'm just too suspicious."
In the kitchen downstairs separated by a wall, Ogden held a knife with his eyes blankly, handling the beef bought in the city. The silver-white blade slid accurately into the meat, dividing it into almost identical pieces.
Hearing the footsteps of his wife Rebecca walking towards him, Ogden's face instantly showed a suitable smile, and he said enthusiastically:
"I'm looking forward to this banquet."
Rebecca put her hands around her husband's belly:
"Oh, I still have to test the Hevin you are optimistic about and check for our daughter. And no matter how much you like him, you must respect Nelly's ideas."
Ogden stroked his wife and put her hands on his belly and said:
"Of course, my little elf."
Rebecca blushed and squeezed her husband's shoulder. This is what he called her when he was young:
"Huh, let Jimmy and Nelly go to bed early tonight, I'm going to punish you."
Nellie was next door to Jimmy, thinking about her behavior today.
The girl in pajamas was a little confused, whether she really blamed Hewen wrongly.
"No, if I really misunderstood, why didn't he tell me? I obviously asked him properly, but he didn't give me an answer."
Nelly's eyes were firm, and she stretched her white and tender feet to the bedside:
"Unless he gives me a serious apology, I will never forgive him, huh!"
And at Hewen's house.
Ha La's hair was cut to five centimeters above her shoulders and dyed completely black. After putting on the beautiful white dress, she looked completely different from before.
Ha La asked worriedly:
"Is it true that they won't find out?"
"Of course, I will take you to a banquet tomorrow, just to familiarize yourself with normal life in advance."
Ha La's eyes sparkled and she asked excitedly:
"Is there a lot of delicious food at the banquet? I read in the book that there are all kinds of delicacies at the banquet that I have never seen before. Is there going to be dancing? Can I dance with Hewen? Is it too late to learn now?"
"Wait, wait, we just went to my friend's sister's college entrance banquet. It was a private banquet. Where did you see these things from?"
Ha La showed an innocent expression:
"The books on the shelf, I have been reading them when you were not at home."
"Dancing is generally an invitation to the person of the opposite sex you like. Of course, there are also more pure social dances, but since we are no longer in the same generation, we usually don't dance together. You need to find someone who is the same age as you.
Everyone dances together.”
Hala reluctantly retorted:
"I also like Hewen very much."
