"Are you here to hunt too?"
The middle-aged man dressed as an old gentleman showed what he thought was a good-natured smile but was actually extremely ferocious. His eyes also glowed with a fierce light. In the game, he was just a vicious villain, and there was no need to elaborate on it with the plot. If Zhao Sida hadn't caught him at the critical moment, Wu Ming would have summoned the Persona and started fighting instead of being on guard.
The nearly two-meter tall figure and the ghostly and ferocious facial expression brought overwhelming pressure to people. Wu Ming estimated that if this old gentleman walked on the street in the real world, he would be beaten in less than two minutes. He was treated as a wanted fugitive and reported to the police.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a good hunter..." The old gentleman sensed Wu Ming's wariness. He spread his hands to show that he meant no harm. Then, under the latter's extremely nervous wariness, he took out his thin-framed glasses from the inside of his coat and put them on the bridge of his nose. : "I'm really sorry, because I may have frightened you a little because I didn't wear glasses just now. Please allow me to sincerely apologize for this."
Well, I always feel more like a villain after wearing glasses, especially when the eyes are not visible due to the reflection.
Although he has a fierce facial expression and a burly figure, he behaves like a true gentleman. The strong contrast between the two made Wu Ming say for no reason: "You are so honorable on the street..." It should often cause panic, right?”
Then he was poked hard by Zhao Sida from behind.
The old gentleman didn't care about Wu Ming's offense, but nodded in agreement: "They are often stopped and questioned as suspicious persons, but this is how they perform their duties."
The saying "No one can be judged by his appearance" could not be more apt than when applied to this old gentleman.
Originally, Wu Ming was going to be polite with this old gentleman, say hello, ask if wearing so much clothes would cover up the prickly heat, and then go their separate ways to hide as far as they could. After all, this old gentleman standing next to him was really annoying. It was so oppressive. Just the aura of the ghost and god Piyi emitted by Chu was enough to scare people. Especially after learning that the tragic scene downstairs was his masterpiece, Wu Ming even avoided it. However, after the old gentleman told Wu Ming the news that there were a large number of nightmare entities wandering on this level, the latter completely gave up the idea of acting alone, and strongly urged that it would be safer to travel together in such a dangerous place.
What? You asked Wu Ming why he had to go with this old gentleman? Because those nightmare bodies were caught up by this old gentleman!
Wu Ming was still wondering why he walked around the first floor without encountering even a single nightmare entity. Now that the case was finally solved, the nightmare entities were all chased away by the macho man in front of him. !
After hearing this shocking news, even Zhao Sida was down for several seconds before resuming operation!
When several nightmare bodies were hammered to the ground one by one by this tough old gentleman with fists as big as casseroles, until they were unable to move and trembled, and even started to beg for mercy in human words, Wu Ming and Zhao Sida completely believed in the authenticity of the previous news. The former has never come into contact with the Nightmare Body and may not know how much this monster weighs, but Zhao Sida is very clear about the average strength of each Nightmare Body. The fact that this old gentleman can beat them to the point of begging for mercy is enough to show that its strength is not high. Too vulgar.
And it was pure violence, without any fists of extraordinary power attached.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Alex, Alex Vladimirovich O. I am an old hunter who specializes in hunting villains who cause supernatural phenomena." Alex, who claims to be an old hunter, After Kesi completely knocked out the nightmare body on the handle with a punch, he angrily explained the reason for his appearance here to Wu Ming and his companions: "I have been tracking a cunning and troublesome guy for a period of time... "
Alex is an old hunter, and like all old hunters, he regards evil parties who cause supernatural phenomena and disrupt the order of human society as prey, and will not rest until death. It's just that I ran into some trouble when tracking the prey this time. The opponent was not only powerful but also unexpectedly cunning. After realizing that he was being targeted, he dropped several very misleading baits and immediately escaped. Half a month ago, the activity of several baits disrupted Alex's tracking, causing him to completely lose the real trace of his prey.
Now Alex can only choose to chase the prey one by one, use exhaustive methods to eliminate all wrong trace information, and then find the target he really wants to hunt.
Now this is the fourth one. He started tracking it five days ago and has been thrown away several times along the way. It is the most difficult prey for Alex since he started tracking again.
Several people walked through the winding corridor on the second floor. After listening to Alex's story, Wu Ming also calmly stated his intention to him: "Actually, we are here to save people."
"Rescue people?" Alex looked at Wu Ming with some confusion. The latter nodded, pointed at Zhao Sida who was following behind him and Elizabeth who was sleeping soundly, and briefly explained the reason why he and his group came to the shadow world. Alex said it again: "That's the basic situation. We followed the last coordinate signal all the way here."
"Then we may be looking for the same person." After listening, Alex said this for no reason.
Wu Ming was stunned by Alex's words.
Then Zhao Sida behind him quickly realized what Alex meant: "You mean, the person we are looking for is probably staying with your prey now?"
"I re-traced his tracks this morning, and went all the way to his stronghold to launch an attack on him. But I didn't expect that besides him, there was a girl at the scene. That girl was kidnapped by him." Alec Si nodded and spoke calmly, but Wu Ming could see the regret and anger flashing in his eyes: "If I could have more information before launching the attack, and if I didn't make a mistake and hurt innocent people later, he would There was no way I could have escaped all the way here, and things wouldn’t have developed into what they are now.”
Looking at Alex's appearance, Wu Ming pondered for a while and said, "Perhaps, we can join forces?"
Alex: "Join forces?"
"Yes, let's join forces. Our purpose is to save people, and your purpose is to punish those evil parties who use extraordinary power to disrupt order and commit evil." Wu Ming looked at Alex and carefully opened the door to take a peek. After taking a look inside, he found that there was no staircase leading to the upper floor and that the room was crowded with strange nightmare bodies, so he quietly closed the door: "If you feel that our cooperation is an offense to your hunting, you also We can understand the division of labor and cooperation, we will rescue people, you will hunt, we will not participate in your hunting, and we guarantee that we will not let other factors interfere with your hunting."
Speaking of joining forces, Wu Ming actually knew very well that it was he who took advantage of Alex. First of all, Alex was a macho hunter with outstanding fighting ability. He could catch ducks with a layer of nightmare body. Just rushing to the second floor shows that he has extraordinary strength, not to mention that he can smash those nightmare bodies one by one like hammering dough. With his strength, Wu Ming felt that even if the opponent had hostages, it would be of no use. At most, what was solved with one fist would be turned into a few more fists to protect the lives of the hostages.
So even if he refuses to join forces, it is a matter of course.
"What I wish for." However, unexpectedly, Alex showed a charming smile and agreed to Wu Ming's proposal: "I'm actually not good at protecting anything. It would be great if you could be responsible for ensuring her safety. That’s it, just leave the rest of the rough work to me.”
