Alex quietly touched the door of the living room with several rune knives between his fingers. He raised his ears and listened carefully for any noise coming from the living room.
In the real world, there are many extraordinary forces that block the extraordinary realm and protect the normal real world from being invaded by the extraordinary realm. Most of these forces control the inheritance of one or several extraordinary professions and powers. For example, the Hunting Group controls A hunter profession that can travel through dreams and turn blood into extraordinary spells for use in battle.
Each hunter is able to use his own blood to fight with extraordinary magic, possesses unimaginable physical fitness, is proficient in various fighting skills and weapons, can come and go without a trace and travel through other people's dreams, etc., and is famous in the extraordinary field. The most feared characteristics of extraordinary creatures are their enhanced senses and their paranoid personality of relentlessly chasing their prey to death.
How horribly intensified are their senses?
For example, a hunter who is normal and has mature strength can easily use his hearing to determine whether a person's heartbeat and blood flow are normal in a noisy environment without using any external force or equipment. He has extremely excellent dynamics. Vision can vaguely capture the trajectory of pistol bullets in a state of high concentration. Smell can not only distinguish the subtle smell differences between people, but can even accurately identify among the crowd after smelling the smell of other extraordinary creatures. Uncover the hidden opponent.
For those extraordinary creatures who try to use their extraordinary power to do something in the real world, being targeted by a relentless hunter is definitely an inescapable nightmare.
It is precisely because of such excellent sensory functions that Alex can discern some useful information from the news broadcast in the living room.
The old hunter pricked up his ears. He keenly noticed that underneath the sounds coming from the living room, there were faint heartbeats and steady breathing sounds that were impossible for normal people to hear. He could judge based on the different heartbeat frequencies and breathing sounds. There should be three people in the living room. Alex sniffed slightly again and judged from the subtle smell difference that the smell of the crosstalk trio was coming from the living room.
There was no strange, suspicious or food smell in the living room, and there was no sound of them chewing or eating. This ruled out the possibility that the crosstalk trio was having a meal and it was inconvenient to talk. Judging from the distance between their heartbeats and breathing, the three of them should be at the dining table in the living room. The inaudible creaking sound of wood friction hidden under the sound of the news broadcast indicated to Alex that they were probably sitting at the dining table...
With the intertwining of information collected by the sense of smell and hearing, the general scene in the living room was painted in Alex's mind.
Three hunters wearing long trench coats like him were sitting at the table. Apart from the three of them, there should be no one else in the living room...
Alex adjusted his posture, arched his body and jumped out!
At this moment, his tall and muscular body showed agility that was totally out of proportion to his stature. His whole body turned into a black shadow and flashed into the living room!
Three fellow hunters wearing the same long windbreaker were sitting at a square table as he imagined. One of them had his back to him. However, what was different from what he imagined was that by facing his colleagues, Alex could You can see that they are now holding their mobile phones tightly with both hands on the table and staring at the screen intently.
Alex was so experienced. With just a glance, he was sure that his colleagues had been attacked by some extraordinary force. In the next second, he raised his right hand, which was ready to attack, and held four runes between his fingers. The knife broke out of the air, and the two rune knives carrying huge power stabbed the mobile phone with perfect accuracy, making two muffled sounds. The two hunters could hardly hold the mobile phone, and it flew directly from their hands. Get out!
The other two rune knives collided in mid-air before flying very far, causing a string of sparks. One of the rune knives flew upwards and pierced the ceiling with its hilt, while the other rune knife changed under the collision. The flight path turned at a weird and unpredictable angle and bypassed the colleague who had his back to Alex. It pierced the smartphone with the tempered film in the hand of the hunter like a piece of paper, firmly piercing it. Nailed it on the wooden dining table!
The three mobile phones were either knocked away or stabbed through by rune knives. After watching the mobile phone screens out of sight, the hunters who were invisibly affected by the extraordinary power also regained their consciousness.
Then they saw the rune knife nailed to the table.
"Oh, I'm going?! A sneak attack first?" The hunter, whose phone was nailed to the table, rolled over from his chair and ran into the shadows in the corner. Then, some unreal and ethereal voices came faintly, "Brothers You guys hold on first! Wait for me to use stealth to go around and stab him in the back!"
Another hunter with short black hair immediately took out two long and thin silver metal rods from the inside of his coat. He looked at the long and thin metal rods in his hands and suddenly cursed: "Damn! Who changed my rune knife?" I’ve become chopsticks! Why are there always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!”
"We are all locals, and it's not enough to use weapons like rune knives all the time! So I made you some rune weapons with local characteristics." The observation ability is obviously better than that of the two funny teammates. The keen hunter immediately discovered the problem, "Hey, hey, hey! Just wait a moment! Don't rush to do it! This is a rune knife! Who the hell is beating up teammates?!"
"Goddamn these rune chopsticks with local characteristics! Why do you want me to use these chopsticks as a throwing weapon! If you want it to be special, you should get me some iron skewers for skewering mutton skewers! That thing still has some attack power after all!"
"Isn't it because the iron stick is too thin that I can't engrave a complete set of runes? It's okay, the chopsticks can also be used as tableware when you are not fighting, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly!"
Alex's brows jumped wildly as he listened. These new generation hunters are not only more receptive to new things, but also have worse personalities than the older generation of hunters - just like now, even if they find themselves suddenly attacked by enemies, While they were in a state of attack, they regrouped and kept busy talking about cross talk...
"Be a little more normal. You have just been attacked..." Alex stared at the two hunters in front of him who were talking about crosstalk like they were showing off. He dug his big palm into the shadow of the unoccupied sofa next to him and pulled out another hunter out of thin air. Dispelling his idea of trying to go around and stab himself, "There is something wrong with the mobile phone. It affects your mind. Calibrate the time immediately to see how long you have been affected, and think back to what you saw in the end."
After hearing Alex's explanation, the tense spirits of the three hunters who were in fighting postures relaxed a little.
The hunter who took out the chopsticks from the inside of his coat put the rune chopsticks back angrily. He took out a silver pocket watch from the other side of his coat, clicked open the pocket watch cover to confirm the time, and then his expression changed.
"Oh my god! It's already past nine o'clock..."
"The problem is indeed serious. We actually spent more than two hours without realizing it..." The keen hunter with meticulous observation squinted his eyes and immediately found in his mind that he looked at the mobile phone and that he had switched from the mobile phone before losing consciousness. The time I saw on the pop-up chat box, "I remember the last thing I saw in my mind was the chat box that popped up on social software. The other party sent me a bunch of messages. I didn't look carefully. I only knew that the other party was probably not My friend, the time when consciousness awakens again is now..."
"Now that I think about it, the strange sender was probably the culprit that caused us to lose consciousness. What about you? Did you also receive messages from strangers before you lost consciousness?"
"Yes, I also received a message from a stranger before I lost consciousness. The other person also used a very ugly profile picture. It was so ugly that I lost my sanity." The hunter was picked up by Alex like a chicken. Sighing, he pointed out the crux of the problem, "The most serious question is: Is this extraordinary influence aimed at the spell we use, or are we just innocent people accidentally injured by the influence on our mobile phones?"
The underlying meaning in his words is obvious. If it is the former, it is at best that someone is targeting them. It is not a big deal. As a hunting group with countless enemies, being hated by others without knowing it is inexplicable hatred. It is also commonplace.
But if it's the latter, it's a bit difficult to handle.
That means that someone has taken advantage of the convenience of the Internet and the popularity of mobile phones to exert extraordinary influence on ordinary people. This is a situation that several major forces who have joined forces to block the extraordinary field have been trying to avoid. Once things get serious...
They have to work overtime to deal with various problems.
Alex let go of the hunter in his hand, strolled into the living room and retracted the rune knives he threw out into the inside of his coat one by one. Then the sturdy old hunter looked up and was stabbed into the ceiling by himself with too much force. Rune Knife: "First of all, rule out the possibility of being targeted. There are no traces left here that were woven into spells by any extraordinary power and affected reality. There is no possibility that extraordinary people will deliberately erase the traces."
It is not impossible to erase the remaining traces of the influence of extraordinary powers, but except for the fact that a few extraordinary forces are used to deal with ordinary people involved in extraordinary events, eliminate various disharmonious matters, and maintain the situation of sealing off the extraordinary realm. , very few extraordinary people would use this method to erase extraordinary traces.
Because the only thing that can erase the extraordinary influence and traces is new extraordinary power. The new extraordinary power can easily erase the extraordinary traces left by the previous ones, but there is no way to erase the extraordinary traces left by one's own when 'erasing'.
Constantly using new extraordinary power to erase the traces left behind, and the act of erasing the extraordinary traces will leave new extraordinary traces. No matter how hard you try, there will always be a very small amount left, but in the eyes of extraordinary people, it is extremely obvious. Extraordinary influence and traces.
Extraordinaries who want to completely erase the traces of the extraordinary and their influence often fall into a very stupid infinite loop - so far, even the several extraordinary forces that have blocked the extraordinary realm have not found one who can completely eliminate the traces of the extraordinary. At the same time, there is no way to leave extraordinary traces, so when dealing with ordinary people involved in extraordinary events, several major forces often delete their memories and greatly erase and reduce extraordinary traces and influences, reducing them to a lower level. When the theoretical minimum value is reached, they will be released back into the real society, and then professionals will be sent to conduct real-time monitoring for a period of time.
"And if the other party was targeting us or had any ill intentions, we should have died long ago." The sharp hunter with quick thinking from before took over Alex's words, "More than two hours is enough. Let’s take action and make a delicious breakfast ourselves. After enjoying the breakfast, we can admire the beautiful scenery in the morning, and then go find a shovel to bury us..."
"Hey, Ma Lingshu, you are still responsible for killing and burying. You are very professional! Yang Yu, what do you think?" The hunter who almost threw the chopsticks as a throwing weapon looked at the hunter who had tried to sneak into the shadows to sneak into the back and stab Alex in the back. That companion of Chris.
Yang Yu straightened the collar that was messed up by Alex, pulled out a stool and sat down, and concluded: "Then someone should be taking advantage of the popularity of the Internet and mobile phones to spread extraordinary influence. Me, Ma Lingshu and Tu Dou just happened to be 'accidentally injured'."
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell silent, which was not good news.
If it were an attack against them, it would be fine, but the worst case scenario would be to just take it lightly and refuse to accept it. The two sides would fight each other head-on, and then either beat the other party to death or be beaten to death by the other party. Anyway, it was just a personal grudge, not a big deal. Might have too big of a real-world impact.
But if the purpose from the beginning was to spread extraordinary influence based on the Internet and mobile phones...
It's probably going to be chaos outside right now.
"I don't know much about things like the Internet... Do you have a way to trace the source?" After about half a minute of silence, Alex asked.
As an old hunter who cannot keep up with the times in the use of mobile phones, no matter how sophisticated and rich his experience in handling extraordinary events is, he still feels a little helpless about this emerging technique and does not know where to start.
"It's hard to say. This is the first time I've seen this kind of weird technique. It's hard to trace the source by using the concealment of the Internet to spread extraordinary power..." When Yang Yu came to the conclusion, he already had this answer in his mind.
Ma Lingshu marveled: "Internet + extraordinary power, I didn't expect that these unscrupulous people who keep up with the times are quite good at playing."
Tu Dou pointed to the smartphone with a hole poked on the table: "Brother, you poked a hole in this phone. Can you write an application report for the hunting group and go through the reimbursement process?"
Before Alex could reply, Ma Lingshu on the side took over the topic: "You can apply for everything, you can apply for it. By the way, we can also use the excuse of work needs to ask the organization to change to the latest mobile phone. My mobile phone also Some are stuck, so I can take this opportunity to get a new one.”
Alex:"?????"
"Okay, stop making trouble." Yang Yu saw that things had begun to slide in the direction of defrauding funds and defrauding reimbursements. "Although it is not feasible, I can only use some technical means to reversely track the other party, and there is no guarantee of success... …”
"I can try to start with the unknown user who sent those messages and see if I can lock down its IP address and use this method to further locate its general range..."
