"Dong dong dong~"
"Fellow, the door is open, we are good people!"
There was a knocking sound on the street, which seemed a bit out of place in such a quiet environment.
"Shet! They refused to open the door! I clearly heard something moving inside!"
After Silla knocked for a while, she was very depressed when she saw that no one came.
He ran to the next few rooms and continued knocking on the door in the same way, the sound getting louder each time.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Fellow! Fellow! Open the door quickly! We are not bad people!"
“Dong dong dong!!”
"Hurry up and open the door! I hear you inside!!"
"..."
“Dong dong dong!!!”
"Fake! If you don't open the door, I will blow up this place. Believe it or not!"
Finally, after he finished speaking, footsteps came from inside the house, and the door slowly opened with a "squeak".
"Damn it, if you didn't open the door earlier, I would have to be a bad guy..."
Silla shook her head and complained, but stopped midway through her words. It turned out that the person who opened the door was a ragged little girl.
"Uh, um... little sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we just want to ask for directions... By the way, where are your adults?"
Silla said with some embarrassment, and smiled with her mouth wide open, showing her bright white teeth.
The little girl behind the door was obviously frightened when she saw this scene, and she shrank back as if she was about to close the door.
Silla quickly held it up with her hands.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are really not bad people..."
Behind him, Anna pushed him away and said angrily:
"Get out of the way, you smile like a ghost, look at you scaring others!"
She stood in front, showed a friendly smile, and said:
"Little sister, you don't have to be afraid. Sister is not a bad person. Sister will ask you a question. If you answer it correctly, you will be rewarded."
As she spoke, she fished out a piece of chocolate from her pocket.
"Sister wants to know, where is your adult? Can you let him come out to see your sister?"
I have to say, this is really a world of looks.
As expected, the little girl stopped hiding this time and slowly poked her head out from behind the door.
When Silla from behind saw this scene, her face was full of depression, and she muttered:
"You can obviously be someone's aunt, so why do you think you're a sister..."
But this time he spoke a little too loudly, and was heard by Anna in front of him. The latter turned around and gave Silla a "You're dead" look.
On the side, the little girl looked at the chocolate handed over by the person in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and hesitantly stretched out her little hand, struggling between taking it and not taking it.
Seeing this, Anna tore off the wrapping paper, stuffed it into her palm, and said:
"Don't be afraid, little sister, we just want to inquire about something from your family. We will leave immediately after inquiring."
The little girl tremblingly put the chocolate into her mouth, suddenly shed two lines of tears, and started eating while crying.
"Dad, dad and mom...are all dead..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that they would receive such a reply in the end.
…
Ten minutes later, inside the house.
The little girl was sitting at the table, holding a small half of a compressed biscuit in her hand, drinking it with water and eating it in big mouthfuls, looking like she was starving.
"Eva, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
Anna patted her back gently, her eyes full of pity.
During this period of time, several people had learned about what was happening in this small village through this little girl.
The girl's name is very nice, Eva, which was given to her by her father.
She is only ten years old this year. She has grown up in this small village since she was a child and has never been out.
Originally, although life was a bit poorer, being able to be together as a family was a very happy thing.
The same goes for other people in the village. Although there is a lack of contact with the outside world, everyone is self-sufficient. Even if it is a bit difficult, they still live happily.
But just some time ago, a nightmare came to this small village.
A monster that didn't know where it came from attacked the villagers and killed many people.
At the beginning, there were only a few missing people. Although everyone felt strange, they thought they were picked up by nearby wild animals when they went hunting, so they didn't take it to heart.
But later, similar livestock began to be lost in the village. Even in broad daylight, people were dragged away from the village, leaving a bloody ground.
Now, everyone was panicking.
They thought a ferocious large carnivore had arrived, and the villagers in the village were targeted for hunting.
Several hunters discussed it and decided to make some traps in the village and sit back and wait to completely eliminate this threat.
The crowd rounded up a bunch of livestock and placed it in the middle of the road, then lurked on both sides and began a long wait.
Time passed by, and at night, the culprit appeared.
But the development of the matter was completely beyond the villagers' expectations.
What came was not a large carnivorous beast, but a monster over two meters tall with slender limbs!
That night, almost all the hunters who went to participate in the ambush died there. Only one lucky man who went to the toilet on the way escaped.
It was when he was preparing to go back that he saw the scene of the monster killing his companions and told everyone the truth of the matter.
Eva's parents also died in the monster's attack one after another.
Now, everyone in the Wildfire Team finally understands why every house in the village has its doors closed and is unwilling to open them even if they hear someone knocking on the door outside.
However, there was only so much information they could obtain. After all, Eva was just a little girl and her knowledge was limited. She didn't even know the specific appearance of the monster.
"Things here are indeed not that simple. It seems that we will be very busy in this trial."
Weiss said solemnly.
Several other people also had serious expressions. They didn't expect that they were just looking for a Xizar, but ended up encountering such a thing.
Silla looked at Eva who was eating biscuits beside her, then at the people around her, and whispered:
"Otherwise, let's forget about the monsters and just go find Xizar..."
Anna on the side suddenly slapped him behind with a big brain, and said angrily:
"Silla! What kind of bad idea did you come up with! How can you say such a thing! Have you forgotten our current identities! Have you forgotten how you promised the Star Lord in the first place!?"
Silla was beaten so hard by her, but she didn't dare to fight back at all. She just held her head and said aggrievedly:
"Sister, sis, stop fighting. I just said that, and I didn't really want to ignore them."
Weiss stepped forward to smooth things over and said:
“Okay, okay, I believe that’s what Silla said, Anna, don’t be angry.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Silla and continued:
“Silla, but I still want to remind you of some things, so don’t blame me for being long-winded.”
"We are able to achieve our current status only because of the funding of the organization. Wildfire Tavern will soon spread all over the world. Do you think you can achieve this level if we rely on ourselves alone?"
"Taking a step back, we have finally got the opportunity to become extraordinary. If the Star Master knew that we were indifferent when facing alien species, do you think that everything you have now will still exist? "
"So, I don't want to hear those words from you again, and I hope you can understand what the Star Master wants us to do. In terms of small things, I can tolerate your nonsense, but when it comes to organizational principles I will never allow you to mess around with your affairs!"
When he said these words, Silla's face immediately became even more ugly. He put on an expression that looked like he was about to cry without tears, and said:
"Wes, I really didn't mean that. I was just talking casually. Don't you know me yet? Even if this happened before, I wouldn't have been able to stand by and watch it happen! What I said is, I just want to provide everyone with a little plan B..."
"There is no plan B!"
"Okay, okay, I understand, there is no plan B."
"..."
While Eva was eating, she curiously watched the adults arguing beside her, not knowing what was going on.
Finally, the conversation over there ended, and Anna came over again, touched her head distressedly, and asked:
"Eva, do you have any relatives at home now?"
The little girl shook her head, with a downcast expression on her face.
"there is none left……"
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Anna quickly took out another piece of chocolate and handed it over, saying:
"Eva, it must be difficult for you to live here at such a young age. Otherwise, when your uncles and sisters destroy the monster, can you go with your sister?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Silla's eyes suddenly widened.
"Anna, you don't want to take her with you, do you? Where do you want to put her? Do you want to raise a child by yourself? Also, why are we all uncles and only you are the sister!? "
"Shut up!"
Anna turned back and waited for him.
"I will naturally find a solution for Eva's placement. After I return, I will ask the Star Lord to ask the organization to take her in. If that doesn't work, I will buy a house myself and arrange a nanny to take care of her!"
"Anyway, I can't let her stay here alone. It's impossible for such a young child to survive alone in this environment."
Silla spread her hands helplessly.
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
Eva blinked her big, bright and clear eyes and asked Anna:
"Sister, you just said that you would help us kill that monster. Is this true?"
"Yes, sister will do what she says and will definitely help Eva's parents get revenge."
"Thank you, sister! As long as she can help Eva get revenge, Eva will listen to her in everything!"
"..."
In this way, everyone in the Wildfire Team temporarily had an additional task during this operation, which was to find the monster near Hachitu Tulcun and destroy it.
Under the guidance of Eva, they went to another house in the village to inquire about information. This person was none other than the survivor of the last roundup of monsters, Ninetiere.
"Eva? Why are you? Why did you run out? Damn it, who are you? Let Eva go!"
Behind the door, a man with sallow skin stuck his head out. After seeing everyone in the Wildfire Team, his expression immediately changed.
"Don't be nervous. We are bounty hunters. We are here to help you kill that monster. Please open the door and let us in. We have some questions that we would like to ask you about."
As Wes spoke, he held the door open with his hands to prevent the other party from closing it.
When he said these words, he originally thought that the man in front of him would relax his vigilance to some extent. After all, he and others were here to help them kill monsters, so they shouldn't hide from him anymore.
Who knew that it would be a good thing if he didn't say it? As soon as he said that he was a bounty hunter, Ninetyel's expression suddenly changed from nervous to angry.
"Damn it! It's you bounty hunters again! We don't need your help! Haven't you done enough harm to us!"
Everyone immediately looked at each other, this guy didn't follow the script.
"Sir, please tell us what is going on. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Damn it! Let little Eva go! The monsters in our village were brought here by bounty hunters like you, and now you are still talking about misunderstandings!"
Silla immediately rolled up his sleeves.
"Fake! Don't push yourself too far. We are kind enough to help you kill monsters, but you have such an attitude!?"
Weiss stretched out his hand to stop him and asked:
"Sir, who is the bounty hunter you mentioned that attracted the monster?"
Ninetiere was obviously startled by Siro's appearance. He wanted to close the door and go back, but the door was blocked by Weiss and he couldn't close it with his strength. He could only say:
"Sizal! That bastard's name is Sizal! I used to invite him to dinner often, and this is how he repaid us! I will never forget him!"
When everyone in the Wildfire Team heard this, they looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the monster that suddenly appeared was related to Xizal.
Now, whether it was their duty to fight against alien species or this trial, they had to get involved in this matter.
The strength in his hand increased a bit, and the door was pushed open in an instant, and Ninetiere behind was unable to stop him.
Several people didn't care about the dagger in each other's hands and walked straight into the house.
"I'm sorry, I know it may be a little abrupt, but for the safety of the village and for us to complete the mission, I can only do this."
Ninetiere's face was full of anger, but also mixed with fear. Although he had weapons in his hands, he did not dare to take action against these fully armed professional hunters.
Weiss sighed and said to the man in front of him:
"Sir, I know you may have some misunderstandings about us, but whether you want to believe it or not, we are here to destroy monsters this time. If that bastard Xizar is really related to this matter, then we will never let go Pass him."
