Demon continent.
Under the time ratio of 120:1, three months in the Death World is 18 hours here.
From the evening of the previous day to noon of the next day, Ji Xing and Xiao Ai had been shopping together all morning and were having lunch outside.
Because of the success of the "First Edition Super Power Medicine" experiment on demons, the next step is to conduct experiments on hunters, and hunters who meet the test goals must be mature, advanced hunters who are not too far away from mastering the power of spiritual awakening. Elite.
Similar to Xu Shengnan three years ago, such a hunter is enough to serve as the third leader of the Hunter Guild in a third-level city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Like the town where Ji Xing just traveled through, he can even serve as the president of the branch. Even if the headquarters fully cooperates, it still needs 50 volunteers are mobilized in about half a month.
So in the past half month, Ji Xing only had some superficial preparation work left. Most of the time was on vacation, which gave him a lot of freedom——
The confidentiality of the supernatural medicine experimental team is very high, and there are dedicated personnel responsible for the security of him and Xiao Ai, but since they are hidden in the city, there is no reason to specially isolate them.
The two players who were about to become great heroes of the human race were eating at a roadside stall in a low-key manner.
Two portions of golden and attractive peas cut into pieces, one portion of beef in sauce and one portion of donkey meat in sauce. The store's ancestral secret sauce makes it very refreshing and enjoyable to eat.
Sitting across from Ji Xing, Xiao Ai chewed the food in a "do as the Romans do" manner, while murmuring with some entanglement: "Although the hand-woven cloth bag is ordinary in style, the stitching is fine and beautiful. At first glance, it is the work of an old craftsman." ...but another bag made of rare spiritual animal skins..."
She looked up at Ji Xing in embarrassment, then shook her head and lowered her head in disgust, knowing that Ji Xing would definitely say "want both", and of course they couldn't afford it, but it would be no fun.
Ji Xing gave her a funny look, read Xiao Ai's thoughts, and said, "I think the red one is good too, it especially complements your figure and hair color."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
However, Yi Nan is a genius, and he has Tang Bi, the divine hunter ranked No. 007, as his teacher, who has been leading him to practice. His "chessboard" ability is also a powerful rule system, so it is not too outrageous.
"In this case, the next target is the candidate hunter, come on." Ji Xing encouraged.
Yi Nan scratched his head and said with both expectation and humility: "I'm still far away. The teacher said that every next step will become more difficult."
"Of course, you are worried because of this incident?" Ji Xing asked.
"Uh... oh, no, Brother Li He." Yi Nan scratched his head and said, "Yes... the teacher warned me before, not to be complacent just because I got No. 997. The reason why this number is vacant is waiting for me to come and get it. , just because the previous number 997, the senior who was similar to me, had been killed by the demon.
Every increase in the number is mostly a warning given to us by the deceased seniors with their lives. We must also bear their lives and work hard, so as not to live up to my glory as a hunter! "
"So it feels heavy?" Ji Xing nodded and said, "What Tang Bi said is right. The monsters you will face will become stronger, more humane, and more cunning as you grow up. You have to be careful. But there is no need to worry. There is too much pressure, believe in your own talent and ability, and the number you get will also be the glory of the deceased seniors and future generations!"
"Um!"
Xiao Ai looked at the two people opposite, turned aside to let the boss serve the food, and said with a smile: "Okay, Yi Nan has just come back, you are not even a hunter, so don't lecture him any more, just eat first."
Ji Xing smiled: "I can't be a hunter and I can't be an ordinary person watching the growth of the divine hunter? Okay, let's eat first, Yi Nan, where is the divine hunter Tang Bi? Why didn't I come with you to have something to eat?"
"Oh, the teacher has gone home, go back and eat."
"Is that so...you still haven't seen your master's wife?" Ji Xing asked.
"Well..." Yi Nan nodded heavily and said with an expectant smile: "The teacher said that I must convince my master's wife during this vacation, so that I can prepare to meet her!"
"Oh——" Ji Xing looked into the distance.
…
"I'm back!"
A few streets away, in a remote house that was not considered luxurious, Tang Bi, who had a big beer belly, pushed the door open with his belly and greeted him warmly.
There was no response, and Tang Bi showed no signs of discomfort. Since their only son died due to his mistake more than 20 years ago, the couple has been as indifferent as ordinary neighbors even if they sleep in the same bed.
As a divine hunter, he could clearly sense that his wife was in the bedroom, and sure enough, he walked in. The old woman with half-long gray hair and wrinkles on her face was facing away from him, sewing a cloth bag in her hand facing the sunshine outside the window.
Tang Bi, who looks middle-aged in appearance, is actually 73 years old, and his wife is only two years younger than him. She is not a divine hunter or even a numbered hunter. She has been hit hard, so she is naturally as old as his mother.
Maybe this is where the estrangement between the two comes from?
Tang Bi's face was full of tenderness that was never shown outside. He laughed and sat next to her, took away the needle and thread, and held her hand in his hand. All he got in exchange was a dull glance.
"60 years." Tang Bi said solemnly.
"……What?"
"Today marks the 60th anniversary of our acquaintance."
Tang Bi smiled and said: "On this day 60 years ago, I was 13 years old and you were 11 years old. The town we lived in... oh, I forgot the name was attacked by a superior demon, and many people died. My Parents, your parents, we hid together in panic, we were all as scared as sieves."
"..." He was answered with silence.
Tang Bi didn't care and continued to talk to himself: "You are obviously younger than me, but you are more sensible than me. If you hadn't held back the cry and covered my mouth, we would have been eaten by the demon.
Since then, I have been stumbling until now. If I repay kindness with hatred, does it count as a promise with my body? Hahaha, you have spent these unpleasant 60 years with me. Alas, if I could do it all over again, I would definitely cover my mouth. "
His answer was still silence.
"Come to save us then
Yes, it’s Teacher Huang, President Huang, who is still only at the advanced hunter level. I haven’t caught up with him for so many years. In the past two years, he has handed over all his affairs to Sun Qin, and probably went into seclusion to make a higher-level breakthrough. . "
"He was just a senior hunter, but he left an indelible memory in our young hearts and made us aspire to become hunters."
"It's a pity, it's a pity. If I could give it to you as a hunter, you would have been a hundred times more considerate and wouldn't have come this far step by step..."
"I can't go back. I can't go back a long time ago."
Tang Bi shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately... Yi Nan is a good boy, kind, strong, and has great talents. If you don't like to hear it, he is much better than our son, hahahaha, I heard He even hesitated to be my adopted son, but I didn't agree.
The master-disciple relationship is enough. You can meet him in a few days. Being a divine hunter is very tiring. I have a lot of things to do, and you don't bother to see my face. "
He gently pressed his wife's hand twice with his big hand, and without waiting for the unknown answer, he stood up and said, "Okay, it's settled. Really, I told you to come back today, and I didn't even wait for a moment." Prepare some food, forget it, I’ll go out to buy something and come back and cook it for you!”
The figure carried the wind and walked away. After a long time, his wife picked up the needle and thread to sew the cloth bag again. She still remained silent, but her eyes were slightly red, and her face was as old as 81 years old with sadness and reluctance.
After leaving home, Tang Bi did not go shopping for groceries as he said, but went straight to the Hunter Guild headquarters and found Sun Qin. Sun Qin was a little surprised when facing Tang Bi who had just left and returned shortly. After hearing Tang Bi's words, he stood up in shock.
"What?! Are you preparing to change training?!"
"What, am I not qualified?"
"...Enough, of course it is enough."
Sun Qin was speechless and stopped talking.
As the divine hunter numbered 007, Tang Bi has power above him, and ranked among the top ten divine hunters, the quality of spiritual power reserves is basically at the same level. The difference is more in the technical and tactical level and the power of supernatural powers. above.
They are all eligible for transfer.
But the first step for a god to hunt and fuse demons to advance to a higher level of god is to allow the weakest demon to eat the brain, stabilize the human will, be reborn in the body of the demon, and transform!
Obviously, the more determined and extraordinary the divine hunter is, the more likely he is to succeed. However, because of Tang Bi's ability to "repay a loan twice as much", he contracted a series of problems such as alcoholism. It is not derogatory to say that his The success rate is the last!
"You...Brother Tang...think about it again..."
"This is a decision I made after careful consideration." Tang Bi said seriously: "There are still fifteen and a half years before the demon tide. I am changing my training now. If successful, with my qualifications, I will have the ability to train to "God" again!
If you delay any longer, you will probably miss it. Didn’t Teacher Huang rush to change majors in the past two years? You don’t need to deny it, everyone can guess some, and it seems that he is successful and normal. He has always been a great person.
Besides, Li He's superpower medicine is about to be completed, and Yi Nan has grown to a level where he can be independent. I can rest assured about my future affairs, and the success rate has greatly increased! Is there a more appropriate time? "
"Then, then sister-in-law's side..."
"She...is not in the way." Tang Bi was silent for a few seconds and then said with a smile: "Don't worry about her. We have tortured each other for so many years, and now there is Yi Nan. Sun Qin, just arrange it for me, the time...just Set it in 18 days, after watching the test of the supernatural medicine!"
Sun Qin stared into his eyes with confirmation, only seeing determination. After a long time, he sighed, put his hand on Tang Bi's shoulder, and pressed hard.
At the market, Yi Nan, who had eaten enough, was facing the three bags in front of him and Xiao Ai's questions. He scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Ji Xing for help.
Ji Xing stood not far away with his hands in his pockets, not paying attention to Xiao Ai and Yi Nan in front of him.
…
Four days later, in the morning.
Summoned by the headquarters, the first hunter who was going to participate in the supernatural drug experiment came to Zhongdu.
The name of this superior hunter is Liu Yuwang, and his identity is very similar to that of Xu Shengnan.
He is the captain of the hunter brigade in a third-level city, but he is 53 years old and has been a senior hunter for 17 years, but he still cannot absorb spiritual power into his body.
He has a lot of experience in his resume, but if he is not a numbered hunter, his lifespan will not be extended. At this age, his strength is already declining. So after hearing that "Central Capital needs senior hunters to perform certain tasks that are life-threatening," he responded to the call without hesitation.
So Ji Xing Xiaoai, who had been on vacation for five days, got a little busy. Without his knowledge, he led people to test his various indicators, and got a unanimous judgment that he was consistent with the experiment.
However, when he was placed to rest, Ji Xing frowned slightly when he walked into Xiao Ai's private laboratory.
Xiao Ai, who was leaning in front of the high-power microscope, stood up and spread his hands towards Ji Xing. Ji Xing tilted the corners of his mouth and moved closer to the microscope.
Double-stranded DNA is nested in circular DNA, and the double-stranded DNA has obvious breakage points!
This is Liu Yuwang’s blood test result!
Being able to detect monsters that cannot be identified by ordinary means through microscopic examination is a secret that only two people know! In a popular sense, Liu Yuwang is an out-and-out high-ranking demon!
"Oh, the first one to come is the demon. I don't know how many of the 50 people there will be in the end." Ji Xing shook his head, looked at Xiao Ai and said, "And I obviously didn't tell him about the supernatural medicine. What happened just now?" The hostility towards you and me is very obvious in my eyes.
It seems... there is a bad person in the upper echelons of the Hunter Guild, and there is a high probability that it is a certain divine hunter. "
Xiao Ai glanced at the high-level demon in front of him and asked, "Do you want to conduct a secret investigation?"
"...Just wait and see." Ji Xing replied.
…
the other side.
Nearly five days have passed in the main world, and time in the Death World has passed even faster. January 2003 has arrived in the blink of an eye.
A full year and nine months have passed since the initial invasion of Ji Xing. A year and a half has passed since Aizen entered hell. There are still more than three months left before the seal of Yhwach is lifted.
Kouki Hirakawa is 18 years old, and Kurosaki Ichigo and others are about to enter their senior year of high school!
