Blood of the Hunting God

Of course, he is the only person she can trust and rely on now.

But now, why suddenly...

【Blood... blood...】

A voice was heard from afar.

Indistinct, it seems that the consciousness is not clear voice.

It sounded like some kind of monster that had completely fallen into madness, into frenzy.

And, as if he could barely understand, he was saying the word "blood".

Is this strange place the same as the language used by myself and hunters?

But when I first came out, I couldn't understand the words on some signs on the street.

Or is it some kind of power that allows both himself and the hunter to understand the language of this place?

And after all, what is that thing, why did it stagger out of the darkness?Is it a zombie?

All kinds of thoughts whirled fiercely in the girl's mind.

And the hunter has already raised the meat saw in his hand.

Can it work?

For some reason, I had such a question for myself.

It seems that it has not been fought for a long time.

It feels like the movements on my body are a little rusty.

Under such circumstances, can he still deal with this unknown enemy?

"Walk……"

After saying this to the girl beside him, the hunter strode forward to meet the enemy.

Ugly, twisted and corrupt.

Just by seeing it at first glance, one can be sure that this is definitely not a filthy existence of human beings.

"Ugh..."

Abigail's wailing sounded from behind.

Seeing such a terrifying monster, the girl subconsciously wanted to scream, but she realized that if she really screamed, it would probably cause more similar things to surround her, so she quickly Covering his mouth, he suppressed his voice.

Are you so smart?

The hunter was a little surprised. He really didn't expect a little girl who looked like she was only 12 years old to have such judgment and action.

【■■...Blood...】

The deformed and twisted thing had already walked in front of him.

The hunter could feel the cruel bloodthirsty desire of the other party, the crazy, twisted will that no longer had any reason.

Abigail had already hid in the alley.

Therefore, the hunter, who had no scruples, took a step forward and swung the meat saw in his hand forward.

The monster opened its torn jaws and charged at the hunter.

In an instant, the hunter's blade fell one step ahead, and slashed from one shoulder of the monster. The serrated blade bit the flesh and blood of the thing like fangs, tearing and slashing through the chest cavity bit by bit. , and then to the festered and swollen abdomen, which was cut open and pus flowed out, and finally one leg was severely torn and cut out.

The monster that was almost cut in half by the hunter's blow fell to the ground, trembling a few times in the flowing black blood, and then became quiet and did not move again.

fine……

The hunter raised his hand holding the meat saw, and looked at the blade of the weapon that had been dyed jet black.

The skill of fighting, I have not lost.

The first time I saw that thing rushing towards me, I knew what to do, and I was able to seize the opportunity to get rid of it before the other party attacked me.

I can continue hunting by myself.

I am a hunter.

At this moment, the self is established in this way.

Although he forgot his own name, "Hunter" was already able to become his own name.

The hunter who was thinking like this lowered his head to look at the rotting monster that was lying on the ground. When he turned his head, he saw Ah, who was hiding in the alley with his small head exposed, looking nervously at his side. Bigel.

"Hunter, um, hunter... Sir, um, Mr. Hunter, have you dealt with that monster yet?"

Abigail, who thought about the address for a while, asked the hunter.

"……(nod)"

For today's hunters, speaking is still a bit difficult, so given the choice, he felt that body language was a good choice, so he just nodded, and then walked to the girl's side.

The most urgent task now is to determine where I am, and then I have to find a way to find a safe place.

Trying to go to the outskirts of the town, it turns out that the outside is endless, there is no end in sight, and it seems to be an endless grassland.

Hunter and Abigail naturally didn't have the idea of ​​walking into this grassland. After all, compared with the abandoned town with at least various buildings and it seemed that at least there had been humans, this one was taller than a human being, completely No matter how you look at the grassland where you can't see anything inside, it's unreliable, especially if you can still smell an extremely strong and strange stench from the grassland.

Just don't leave town just yet.

Hunter and Abigail quickly reached such a consensus.

But if you want to stay in the town, there is a problem that you must face.

They have to find a safe place where they can stay and live temporarily.

And just now, during their journey to the entrance of the town, Hunter and Abigail encountered those deformed and ugly humanoid monsters more than once, and fought several times for it.One time, because too many monsters gathered together, the hunter who realized that it was too dangerous to force through had to sneak around with Abigail through the side alley.

Inside the town, it is also very dangerous.

There is consensus on this point as well.

Therefore, you must find a safe enough place, one that can be used as a temporary safe house, preferably big enough for two people to live in it.Well, it is better to have fewer entrances, and it is best to have closed entrances that can be blocked well, so as to increase security.In addition, there should be at least two floors or even a higher height, so that you can look around and confirm the safety of the surrounding area in time.

In the process of thinking like this, Hunter and Abigail managed to sneak into a house on the street, and "consulted" the owner of the house, a rotten ugly monster with two heads. , the hunter said that the other party had no objection at all, and expressed acquiescence to the needs of the two.

"Well, I can see that there are many buildings around."

Abigail stood on the edge of the roof, looking around.

The building they chose was a relatively tall building with about five floors, and there was a taller observation deck on the top floor.

Using this observation deck, the two of them were finally able to see more places and most of the town.

The style of the whole town does not seem to be a type that is familiar to the two of them. Most of the buildings in it are one- or two-story low houses, and there are occasional buildings with three or more floors. Generally speaking, it is relatively rare.

On one side of the town, there is also a building complex that seems to be a church area, which is separated from the town itself to a certain extent. The two of them can't know what the situation is like, because the distance between them is too far away. , The observation deck here has no way to see the situation over there clearly.

In addition, if you are here, you can find that the situation in the town is indeed not very optimistic.

"There are a lot of them..."

Abigail muttered softly.

Saw quite a few of those twisted and deformed monsters.

They are either wandering on the street alone, or wandering aimlessly together in two, three, four or five, and there are more than ten or twenty, completely forming a large group, wandering in the street horde of monsters.

The ugly and terrifying appearance of these things made Abigail think that she would definitely have nightmares tonight, but it was actually already night, after all, there was a moon hanging in the sky.

But that kind of thing is not important for the time being. There are quite a few of these things wandering on the ground. When the hunter fought a monster before, Abigail watched the thing tear apart with one claw on the wall. A rather deep cut.In other words, the walls of the rock structure can basically be regarded as no obstacle to this kind of terrible monster. They can directly smash the door or the wall and rush into the building.

Perhaps because of these, there are many damaged or even collapsed buildings in this town.

Isn't there a relatively safe place with relatively few of these things?

Abigail glanced around with some confusion, and then her eyes fixed on one place.

"There is……"

It seems to be a library.

It is two floors high, but the height of each floor itself is much higher than that of normal buildings, so its height can completely catch up with some three-story buildings, and it seems that you can go up to look out on the roof.

The library is relatively close to the church area, and there are many houses around it, but they are basically vacant, and there are not a few monsters wandering there. The only monsters nearby are quite few if you count them. Basically it won't be a big problem.

If the vicinity of that area can be sealed off and some obstacles are set up, maybe it can be used as a temporary stronghold for activities.

In addition, for some reason, Abigail felt that maybe she could find some useful things in that library, such as books or something.

Obviously, she couldn't understand the text here at all, but Abigail instinctively felt that she could gain something from the books.

This feeling is very strange, but the girl feels that this should be a correct intuition.

"Mr. Hunter, shall we go in the direction of that library?"

After thinking about it, the girl quickly came to a conclusion, and said seriously to the hunter beside her.

"Um……"

The hunter nodded slightly. He didn't have any opinion on this, and he decided to listen to the girl's opinion obediently. Anyway, if he was asked to choose, he didn't know how to choose.

Go downstairs, leave, and kill a monster that appears on the side of the street.

Avoid the two waves of monsters gathered on the street and continue to move forward.

After a while, Hunter and Abigail arrived at the door of the library.

squeak-

Gently, pushed open the door.

"Is there no lock?"

Abigail, who found the door half open, whispered to herself.

The hunter entered the house first, took out the pistol, aimed at the surroundings, and put down the gun after confirming that it was basically safe, letting Abigail behind him follow in.

Close the entrance and lock the door to prevent any monster from wandering here unconsciously and following the door.When coming along the way just now, the hunter has already discovered that these things do not have any rules at all when they are wandering unconsciously. A door, as long as it is open, you will go in and stay for a while, then come out, and then try the next door or something.

In order to avoid encountering such strange things, the hunter decided that if he entered any place in this town, it would be better to develop the habit of locking the door.

"Ahem...Aren't there... those monsters in here?"

The library is filled with dust, which is a little choking.

Abigail stretched out her hand and fanned it lightly. Together with the hunter, she walked through every room on the first floor.

A seemingly hidden corner, every place that might hide something, went through all of them.

Clean, nothing.

Of course, it refers to the cleanliness of the number of monsters.

In fact, the entire library is still quite dirty. It seems that the ceiling is damaged. It has been rained in many times. Many books can be seen to be swollen. It is estimated that there is no way to read them.

Of course, considering that there are quite a lot of bookshelves here, Abigail feels that as long as she is patient enough, she should be able to find a lot of books that can still be read.

A little bit, I am looking forward to what kind of books I can see.

Huh, this feeling is really strange.

The girl didn't quite understand why the fear in her heart had basically subsided now.

Obviously, I was very scared at the beginning.

Is it because of following this Mr. Hunter?

Although he has been silent and taciturn, he can make people feel that he is a reliable Mr. Hunter.

It turns out that I am actually the kind of character who likes to rely on others and rely on others?

Abigail, who was thinking like this, didn't know that the hunter was also thinking about her.

Hunter's thinking is very simple.

He was just a little surprised, a little unexpected that this seemingly small little girl seemed to have quite a good psychological quality.

Obviously, I don't even remember who I am, what kind of experience I have, what kind of past and so on. At the beginning, I was terribly afraid, and I felt very afraid of everything around me.
