Blood of the Hunting God

"What the hell are you planning?"

Word by word, Andre stood up and walked behind William.The tall blacksmith at the lamplight

The downward projected shadow completely enveloped William, and under the strong sense of oppression, the hound subconsciously guarded in front of the sheriff, baring his teeth at Andre.

"Calm down, girl, he's not our enemy."

After bending down and stroking the hound gently a few times, the expression on the sheriff's face remained unchanged.

"The answer you want to know will be revealed at tomorrow's public trial meeting. Before that, please don't make unnecessary small moves."

After the words fell, it was William who led the hound and left without looking back. "

"Humph……"

Andre watched the sheriff's figure go away, and let out a soft snort.He stood there, frowning as if he was thinking about something, but Andre, who still couldn't come to a conclusion, could only shake his head helplessly in the end, then turned around and returned to the workshop to continue working.

It will probably be a sleepless night tonight. For some reason, the police and combat nuns require all hunters with damaged weapons to come to the workshop for repairs, and even the church has covered all the repair costs, as if Prepare for something.

The moonlight fell, and all that was left was the starry sky dotted with light spots in the pitch black.

Malman closed his eyes and prayed in the ruins of the dilapidated church. The burns on his body had only undergone initial treatment, so he still looked very hideous.It is obviously strange that such a situation would appear for a priest with powerful magic power, but considering that the combat nuns under his orders are working at full capacity to heal the hunters, and even he himself has exhausted his magic power to heal the hunters. Next, it is understandable that it will become like this.

The festered skin under the burn of the high-temperature shock wave looks extremely terrifying. As time goes by, these wounds gradually condense, looking like rotten flesh that has been torn and glued together.

The priest himself didn't seem to feel the pain of the wound on his body at all, he just prayed silently, maintaining this moment of silence in the ruins of the church.

"...You don't need to hide there, don't worry, no one else will be here."

Suddenly, Marman opened the remaining eye and looked towards a dark corner in the church.

The sound of a bullet being loaded was particularly crisp in the silent church.

Disma, with a gloomy expression, slowly walked out of the darkness and pointed the gun in his hand at Malman.

"Free the hunter and the Abigail boy."

Desma's voice was full of anger as if teeth were crushing each other.

"Glad you've recovered from your nervous breakdown, Mr. Disma."

Malman bowed slightly to pay tribute.

"Stop talking nonsense, only you can order the defense force of Xingkong Town to release them!"

"It's a pity I can't do this."

"Fuck you! They're not filthy gangsters, you don't have the right to treat them like this, they're—"

"I know, of course I know."

Grumpy voices interspersed with indifferent voices, and then suddenly stagnated.

"What did you say……"

"I said I knew it, and, because of that, I had to do it."

Under the dark starry sky, Malman's face was hidden in the shadows.

"That's why both of them had to be tried."

Chapter 140 Six: That's it?

The moonlight once again rose from the end of the horizon, bringing some light to this small town in ruins.

The remaining hunters and townspeople gathered in the ruined square of the town, where a temporary platform was built to prepare for the next public trial.The police officers and the fighting nuns had already put martial law around them, and on the platform, Sergeant William and a leader of the fighting nuns were already waiting above.

Silent, silent.

Everyone is waiting for that moment to come.

"Father Malman, isn't he coming?"

William looked at the captain of the nuns beside him and asked.

"Father has more important matters. Today's trial will be carried out by the fighting nun."

The nun with an indifferent expression just replied in a flat tone.

Are you too lazy to even be there?That priest is really quite arrogant. Could it be that he already feels that the ending is doomed?

William's expression looked a little gloomy. It's not that the sheriff didn't suspect Hunter and Abigail, after all, there were too many suspicious things about them.However, Disma is willing to believe the two of them, and the observations made in the small town can also reveal the kindness of the two people's nature. Based on the intuition of many years of police detective career, William believes that the two should be innocent.

It's just that, believe it or not, it cannot be brought into the next trial process.As a police chief, I must lead by example without any personal feelings, and everything must speak with facts.

"They are here."

Turning his head, William looked to the side of the public trial stand, and saw the two tall and short figures coming under the escort of the guards and the battle nun.

Both Hunter and Abigail looked pretty good, and neither of them was shackled or anything.First, it doesn’t matter whether they wear shackles or not with their strength, and second, this kind of behavior that may anger the two people and the masses is indeed not conducive to

The conduct of a fair trial process.

William remained silent, silently watching the two walk up to the platform, facing the equally silent crowd below, the whole scene seemed very heavy for a moment.

Oh, except Hunter, the guy even yawned.

Heck, this is a life-or-death trial, and you're still in the mood to yawn?Are you so confident that you have no problems at all?Or is it that you don't care whether there are problems or not, and the big deal is to kill everyone and leave, right?

William sighed, he inexplicably felt heavy pressure at this moment.

"Then, the public trial of Hunter and Abigail will be conducted under the witness of the star god and the asylum."

The battle nun with an indifferent expression spoke calmly, and at this moment stepped forward and walked to the front of the platform.

Under the moonlight, the silence of the town was broken at this moment.

-

"Hunter, and Abigail, we have checked and proved that there is no record of the two of you in any town in the country of the star. Now, under the witness of everyone, I ask you to answer honestly, are you a resident of the country of the star? "

"No."

"Then are you from the Land of Dreams or the Land of Fog?"

"...Neither."

Before answering the battle nun's question, the girl thought about continuing to lie.

But looking at the expression of the hunter beside her, and thinking about the result of this journey, Abigail finally decided to tell the truth.

There is no need to continue to conceal, no matter how tough to cover up, it is enough to give a straightforward answer.

"So, where did you come from?"

"I don't know, the hunter and I only have recent memories."

"Then according to the records, some time ago, the hunter of Starry Sky Town, Disma, brought the two of you into the town. Before that, we couldn't find any records about the two of you. Does this mean that you are living in the corruption field? For a long time, in the company of filth?"

"The hunter and I lived in the ruins of Fengrao Town for a period of time, hunting filthy monsters and obtaining their flesh and blood for cooking, and using abandoned Nafoul Stones to obtain clean water. We did live in the corrupt wilderness, but we did not associate with filth , Those monsters have always been our enemies."

"But this is just your one-sided opinion. I only know that you are indeed from that filthy land, and less than half a month after you came to Star Town, there was an unprecedented large-scale monster invasion. There are even two powerful monsters that have never entered the town under normal circumstances. Do you want to deny this fact?"

"I don't deny it, but—"

"It's fine if you don't deny it, and you don't need to explain more."

Woohoo, why is this Battle Sister talking so annoyingly!

The girl got a little excited, hunters are not good at communication, and no matter how precocious Abigail is, she is only a 12-year-old girl, so she didn't know how to continue explaining for a while.

The crowd below was already a little noisy at this moment. Obviously, the origin of Hunter and Abigail really made many people feel scared.Considering that there are indeed many strange things in this monster attack, the eyes of some people looking at the two people on the platform have begun to change.

"Even the most resolute hunters cannot live in the corrupt wilderness for too long. Even without the attack of filthy monsters, the environment full of filthy power alone cannot accommodate the normal life needs of people, and you even say that you To be able to eat the flesh and blood of monsters without contamination?"

"Even if Xingkong Town has been attacked by monsters for thousands of years, there has never been a joint attack by three powerful monsters at one time, and two of them are even high-level monsters that have never invaded Xingkong Town. But when you come, they will come gone."

"There is only one explanation for this, that is, you colluded with the filth to obtain dark power from it, and lured those monsters to attack the town."

"You are the chief culprit for such a disaster in Xingkong Town."

After the words, the battle nun pulled out the blood-stained mace from her waist.

The people below were in an uproar at this moment, and some irrational people even yelled "kill them" and "execute them" angrily.

"No, no! Mister Hunter, he doesn't—"

The anxious girl wanted to continue to defend herself, but before she could say a word, the hunter who had been silent all this time stepped forward and gently blocked Abigail with his hand.

"Sinner, do you have anything to argue about?"

The star-like light lit up on her body, and the captain of the fighting nun aroused extraordinary power at this moment, and spoke indifferently to the hunter.

For some reason, the strange star-like flickering light spot made Abigail feel a little weird, as if the light came alive, breathing and wriggling with the distant Star God Barrier, which made people feel a little strange. It's indescribable, as if the whole person's spirit is about to sink into the general feeling.

No, no, it's not what it feels like, it's...

"Kill them! Put them to death!"

More people roared and became crazy in the light.

Sergeant William and the police officers who were supposed to be in charge of intercepting also became delirious at this moment, and stood in place in a daze.

This, what the hell is going on here?

looking at it all

Abigail was a little dazed.

"Sinners, gods are merciful, did you have any last words before you died?"

The captain of the Battle Sisters held a weapon in his hand, and his cold voice took on a bit of austerity at this moment.

Then the hunter raised his head.

He moved his shoulders a little, folded his hands, looked at the nun in front very calmly, and said after a long absence:

"That's it?"

It sounded like imitating the gestures of Desma and Tardif when they mocked and insulted others, but the hunter really couldn't imitate the fierce gestures of the two grumpy hunters when they cursed, and their hoarse voices seemed very dull.In this case, though, the weird sense of incongruity is somehow more vile and defiant.

"Evil trash, I will wipe you out!"

Unexpectedly, the captain of the nuns, who was enraged, burst into light and rushed towards the hunter in the next moment. Her posture was like a god possessed by the overflowing starlight.

boom--! ! !

The next moment of the collision, the hunter slapped the head nun on the face, and sent her flying away. She flew up from the platform at a height of more than ten meters, and landed far away on a half-collapsed building. On the roof of the building, the house was smashed to the point of collapse.

"That's it..."

This time the hunter was really a little surprised, obviously looking at all kinds of lights and shadows, he looked very powerful, why did he disappear with one move?

Chapter 140 Seven: The Power of the Hunter

The hunter's shot was like detonating a gunpowder keg in an instant, completely flipping the order of the entire conference.

The people who had been in a trance in the starlight before became furious one after another, and rushed towards the platform one after another, while the fighting nuns who were in charge of maintaining order before retreated to the surroundings, and the surrounding people who were still a little unconscious The police are all under control.

"This, this is..."

Abigail stared wide-eyed, looking at the starry sky shining on these nuns, their emotionless eyes, and those civilians who looked wrong and went crazy, she couldn't understand why The public trial meeting only went on for a while, and the situation became like this.

Wait, let these crazy civilians attack them, but the fighting nun backed away and controlled the delirious police officer, did she want her and Mr. Hunter to be killed by these civilians?Or do you want Mr. Hunter to resist and kill these civilians, so as to be charged with colluding with filthy forces?

All kinds of thoughts were surging in the girl's mind, but at this moment there was no time for further thinking. The frantic civilians had already rushed forward, and an old man who bore the brunt stabbed at the hunter with a pitchfork in his hand.

whoosh-

The sharp pitchfork pierced out with the sound of the wind, and was held firmly by the hunter with one hand.

The old man roared, but the pitchfork didn't move at all. At this moment, the hunter's figure was as tough as a rock, easily restraining the opponent's actions like a giant.

"Oh ah-"

More roars sounded, and more people rushed forward at this moment.

Stretching out his hand to pat Abigail's shoulder, the hunter shook his head at the girl, signaling her not to make a move and stand where he was, then loosened his hand holding the pitchfork and slapped the old man on the forehead, a simple slap The blow directly caused the old man to roll his eyes and pass out.
