How to become a full-time hunter

dong dong dong

The knock on the door rang again, and Lu Man stood looking out of the peephole.

There is still no one outside!

"Is anyone here? I have something to discuss with you."

There was a voice outside the door.

Lu Man hesitated and opened the door.

"Hello, my name is Melody." An unusually short man in a robe lowered his head and whispered softly.

It turns out that the melody is too short and cannot be seen in the cat's eye!

"Melody?!" Lu Man was slightly surprised, but more out of curiosity. "Why did you come to me?"

Melody looked up at the man in front of her slightly strangely, and said hesitantly: "Do you know me?"

Looking at Melody, who was severely bald and had two big front teeth exposed, Lu Man stepped aside to welcome her into the house.

"Sit down. What do you want to drink? I don't know you. You introduced yourself when we opened the door."

Melody closed her eyes, listened for a while, and then said: "Typical liar's heartbeat, you lied."

"..."

Lu Man pretended to be stupid and said, "So, you came to visit me late at night to tell me this?"

Melody hesitated for a long time and said softly: "Have you heard of the legend [Dark Sonata]?"

"oh?"

"Legend has it that the Devil composed a sonata, a sonata with four solo instruments, played by piano, violin, harp, and flute."

"This is a song that belongs to the devil. Once humans listen or play it, terrible things will happen!"

"Oh, this, I've heard of it. Isn't this an urban legend?" Lu Man said casually.

Melody sighed and pulled up her cloak-like robe.

"That's the price I pay for listening!"

Lu Man's pupils shrank, and Melody had only exposed part of her arm.

But it doesn't look like a human arm at all!

The limbs were roughly charred in an irregular shape, as if they had been bitten by a fierce dog and then burned by the flames. What was even more frightening was that there were countless wriggling reddish long hairs on the wounds!

"That's my veins..." Melody lowered her sleeves. "Actually, I used to be very beautiful."

"I only listened to one movement of the flute solo, and my body became like this. And the friend who played the movement died on the spot."

"Did you know? A good person suddenly changed in front of his eyes and turned into a monster and died." Melody said this, her eyes still showed fear.

After a while, the melody slowly returned to normal.

"So, I wanted to find whatever was left of the score and destroy it. It was something that shouldn't be in the world and I didn't want anyone to follow in my footsteps."

Lu Man touched his nose.

Originally he raised his hand to touch Melody's head, but when he saw Melody's bald forehead, he felt a little offended, so he braked suddenly and turned around to touch his nose.

Lu Man put down his hand and said calmly: "I understand what you said, but what does this have to do with me? You should have other purposes."

Melody smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Indeed, I sensed some aura related to [Dark Sonata] from you."

"?!"

Lu Mann was shocked, "You can't get it wrong, right? I have never touched musical instruments or anything related to music scores."

Melody shook her head and whispered: "You won't understand. People who are punished by the devil are particularly sensitive to this kind of breath!"

"That's weird." Lu Man thought carefully for a while, but had no clue. "Can you feel where that breath is in the room now?"

"I'll try." Melody turned her head and closed her eyes, with a painful expression between her brows.

After a moment, she opened her eyes.

"It should be on you. The aura around you is stronger."

‘On me? ’

Lu Man suddenly realized!

‘Could it be it? ’

"Melody, is this it?" Lu Man took out a natural box from his arms.

It's the one with the black crystal stone!

Lu Man decided to take this strange stone on the road after careful consideration.

This is the largest auction in the world, and a group of top treasure appraisers will definitely come here. So, if you bring the stone, you might be able to find some information about it.

"Yes!" Melody stared at the box, slightly excited. "Does it contain music scores?"

"I'm afraid I've disappointed you." Lu Man shook his head.

Seeing the confused look from Melody, Lu Man smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I don't know what the thing inside is. From the outside, it looks like a stone."

"Be prepared, this stone is a bit weird, you have to calm down." Lu Man said to Melody.

Seeing Melody nodding, Lu Mann also took a deep breath and suddenly released his power to open the box.

The black crystal stone lies quietly in the center of the box!

"Get it!"

"Pray for it!"

‘Come again! ’ She secretly said something bad, and Lu Man quickly looked away.

"~~~"

A pleasant flute sound sounded, and he felt as if he was in the spring wilderness. He could even see grasslands, blue sky, flowers, white clouds...

"Are you feeling better? "Spring in the Wilderness" is the best way to soothe your mood. "Melody put down the flute in her hand and said softly.

"Melody, thank you." Lu Man thanked him sincerely. Now he was almost no longer affected by the stone.

""Spring in the Wilderness" is my ability. You're welcome. You must also be a telepathic person. "

"Yes, my name is Lu Mann, and I am a hunter at the same time as Kurapika." He deliberately revealed the news to Melody.

"Kurapika?" Melody was a little surprised and said in surprise: "He is my current teammate. We are employed by - I'm sorry, I can't tell you the rest of the news."

Lu Man waved his hand to show that he didn't care. "Melody, do you know what it is?"

Melody stared at the black crystal for a while and whispered: "This is indeed not a musical score, but it has a strong aura of the devil."

"Could it be some kind of instrument used by the Demon King?" Lu Man speculated.

"It's hard to say. The time for my ability is coming soon. You should put it away quickly." Melody urged.

Lu Man nodded and put the black crystal back into the box.

"My ability can only last for three minutes, I'm sorry." Melody whispered.

"...Thank you very much. What do you think about this stone?"

Melody shook her head and hesitated: "I can only say that it has something to do with the Demon King. I can't tell the rest. Do you have any clues? For example, its origin?"

Lu Man smiled bitterly and said, "I got it by accident. I don't have any clues at all."

After looking at the time, Melody exclaimed: "It's been such a long time! I have to go back to work. Mr. Lu Man, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Lu Mann thought for a while and called out Melody.

"Wait, let's exchange contact information. If I have any other clues, I will notify you in time."

Melody looked up at Lu Man and showed a smile. After a while, she whispered: "You didn't lie this time."

"Give me."

Melody held out her hand.

"What?" Lu Man was a little confused.

"Cell phone."

Lu Mann found the phone and handed it to Melody.

Melody did a few operations and returned the phone to Lu Mann.

"If you want to contact me, remember to send a message to communicate. I may not be able to answer the phone during working hours."

"I understand." Lu Man nodded and sent Melody out.

"Huh... I didn't expect that stone to be related to the Demon King."

"But what kind of existence is the Demon King? Is there really a Demon King in this world? Or..."

Lying on the bed, Lu Mann was not sleepy, and all she could think about was the Demon King.
