The first time I saw the hunter's face was before I went to White Sun Town. In order to know in advance who the warlock stationed there was, I checked the information. The information included a photo of the hunter. He was a man with an upright face.

, his whole body seemed to be wrapped with righteousness. To put it more exaggeratedly, although I have never been on a real battlefield, if I were to cooperate with such a person on the battlefield, even if it was the first time I met him, I might not be able to help but trust him with my back.

give him.

The second time was during the Bairi Town Mist incident. He still had the same face, but his temperament changed from awe-inspiring righteousness to crazy evil. For the sake of the succubus, he even destroyed the entire town he was supposed to protect.

No matter what. After the charm was lifted, he became a stooped man immersed in depression and low self-esteem. He was so fragile that even other people's eyes could easily pierce his flesh and make it bleed, and even a few words could break him.

A frail body. In the end, in order to escape those terrifying eyes and words, he left without saying goodbye.

And the third time, this time, he simply became a walking corpse. Less than ten days had passed before his face became pale and weak, with shocking dark circles under his eyes, and his hair

It lay greasy on his scalp, and his back was humbly hunched as if someone had broken his bones. Originally, he was a middle-aged man close to fifty years old, but now he looked like he was about to go.

An old man who prepares his own funeral in a coffin shop with his own hands.

If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't mistake the person I had fought with, how could I believe that this person was the hunter?

"Hunter." I tried calling him.

He trembled sensitively, and then glanced around in panic. Soon, he locked my face, and then his eyes widened in shock.

Qiao Licao also looked over curiously, "Is he the hunter? What a coincidence." It seemed that this was the first time she met the hunter.

It is indeed a coincidence, but this kind of coincidence is not surprising in the world of warlocks. It is normal for different warlocks operating in the same city to meet each other. The really strange thing is, why did the hunter appear in Tianhe City?

After hesitating for a moment, the hunter squeezed through the crowd in the carriage, first said hello, and then said: "Congratulations on becoming an official law enforcement sorcerer. I heard that you have also joined the legal camp."

The legal camp is the Security Bureau faction that Lieque and Hunter belong to. As the name suggests, this faction is composed of Security Bureau warlocks who focus on the secret law. The secret law is the special law used by the Security Bureau in law enforcement and justice.

He didn't ask any more questions, maybe he was thinking of a more superficial question. He didn't ask until the train arrived at the station.

The name Qizhe is very unfamiliar to me.

In addition, Qiao Licao also used a similar speech yesterday to criticize the Tianhe City Security Bureau. How bad is the working environment there?

"Don't worry, I know it well." I only responded to the hunter with this sentence.

It may not even be described as loose. Qingniao once told me about some style issues of the security bureaus in other places. I was shocked by all of them. It was hard to imagine that that was what the security bureau should look like. In my mind, the security bureau was full of people.

It is a just organization that has no order and spirit of law, otherwise how could a demon like me be sentenced strictly in accordance with the law? However, the overall picture of the Security Bureau described by Blue Bird is completely different from what I imagined.

His answer was like a mirror, allowing me to see my past self.

"You should know that the Demon of Fog was summoned by some demon warlocks in Tianhe City." He said, "Almost all those demon warlocks are learners of the knowledge of online demons, but the warlock who is the core host of the ceremony is different.

, he was already a demon warlock more than twenty years ago."

That information clearly pointed out that there are still some tentacles of the Demon of Fog active in Tianhe City today.

"Who is Qizhe? From what you said, he used to be from the Liucheng Security Bureau?" Qiao Gancao asked. It seemed that she didn't know who Qizhe was.

In the past, didn't I also have such thoughts, walking around Liucheng aimlessly, and finally planned to die in a corner without being known?

Was he talking about the curse of the blue bird? I was surprised. I was not surprised that Qiao An saw it, because Qiao An's perception is so powerful. But the hunter's perception has already faded, and he can still detect me.

The curse aura on his body. Could it be that the curse made by Blue Bird is actually very crude?

Could it be that the hunter has the same plan?

I hope I can comfort him and persuade this law enforcement wizard who is really just bewitched to turn around. But what should I say to him? I can't understand his pain, because unlike him, my past crimes are absolutely impossible.

It wasn't because of the charm; besides, if I tried to comfort him based on my relationship with him, it would inevitably lead to problems with the conversation.

In 2002, that is, twenty years ago... Lieque should have been thirty-nine years old at that time. Even if Lieque got married early, Qi Zhe should still be a young man at that time.

The significance of the existence of this special law is that it can be used to deal with certain issues that are not very compatible with secular social laws. For example, suppose that someone is completely dominated by a monster with a power beyond the scope of modern scientific explanation, and is killed during this period.

A person, then he is guilty or innocent. There is no such case in secular society. Although it is not impossible to apply existing laws, the hidden laws are more targeted for this.

"What are your plans next?" I asked.

I recalled the saying about biting blood.

"You don't know?" I asked.

In the past, when Jiugu stood in front of me with a weapon and roared words of extreme hatred at me, I thought that people who want to take revenge on me should not give up on the right path even if their hearts are filled with hatred.

.The Avengers who are endlessly criticized in fictional stories ended up losing everything because they abandoned everything just for revenge. You will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. Because they abandoned everything, they lost everything.

, this is a matter of course.

He said with shame: "I have been very depressed recently and have not been exposed to so much external intelligence..."

"But you are a warlock affiliated with the Liucheng Security Bureau. Why did you come to Tianhe City?" I said.

Yes, as an official organization, the Security Bureau is actually an organization with both law enforcement and judicial powers. No matter how you look at it, it is a very problematic organization.

However, the hunter seemed to be concerned about something. He suddenly showed a strange expression and looked me up and down. Then, he hesitantly asked: "Speaking of which... there seems to be some strange aura on your body? It's like a curse...

"

"I see." I said, "We plan to report to the security bureau here. You are also on this train, which means you have to go there too?"

It is also her characteristic to lose her temper from time to time. But it is not good to continue like this.

"I didn't dare to meet those who knew me before," he sighed, "so I took a leave of absence and went back to the city where I was born and grew up."

"I..." the hunter was silent for a long time, "I just plan to walk around and see the hometown where I grew up. I'll talk about what happens after... after that."

To put it simply, the Liucheng Security Bureau is the one who calls the shots for the legal camp, so its style will highlight the due diligence of the legal camp; while the Tianhe City Security Bureau is relatively unorganized.

However, would it be possible for an Avenger with a healthy mentality to let me go easily? When I look forward to a healthy Avenger, might I actually have selfish thoughts unconsciously?

——

After exiting the station, we quickly arrived at the Tianhe City Security Bureau.

"After that incident, Lieque deprived me of my position as the warlock stationed in Bairi Town, and also gave me a task, asking me to deal with the aftermath of the fog incident in Bairi Town." He said with great bitterness, "But where am I?

If he still dared to stay in Bairi Town, he refused the mission and left there..."

Before his death, Bad Zhao gave the order to the Demon of Fog to go to Day Town. Could this behavior be related to the grudge mentioned by the hunter?

It was that order that prompted the succubus to launch the fusion ritual in Day Town... But the evil move was dead, as were the succubi and the demon of the fog. Now, going over old scores will only increase the hunter's guilt.

What's more, that matter was not information that I should have known in the first place.

"The working environment of the Tianhe City Security Bureau is not very good." He seemed to be lost in memories, "I used to work in the Tianhe City Security Bureau, but in 2002, Qizhe attracted me and said that Liucheng was a legal camp.

It was the place that made the final decision, so I applied for a transfer."

The hunter nodded, "I have some grudges with Bad Zhao. Even if he dies, I have to see his body with my own eyes before I feel at ease."

"Do you mean 'evil move'?" Qiao Licao asked.

"So you were born in Tianhe City?" I said unexpectedly, "Then why did you go to work at Liucheng Security Bureau?"

The Tianhe City Security Bureau was in the wrong against the Liucheng Security Bureau. They failed to deal with the Demon of Fog, which led to the disaster in Bairi Town. Therefore, they did not dare to neglect me, the person who came to conduct the follow-up investigation, and was responsible for receiving our internal affairs.

The warlock has been waiting in the lobby for a long time. However, the other party probably doesn't know that the person coming is me. They just know that someone from the Liucheng Security Bureau will come.

It's not impossible, because Blue Bird is not good at curses, and she forced herself to make an ingenious trap for me to unconsciously curse her. It is inevitable that such mistakes will occur.

He probably wanted to ask: Li Duo, when you come to Tianhe City, aren't you afraid of encountering Sabretooth?

Doesn't the hunter have any idea about this matter?

I asked him, but he showed a surprised expression, "The tentacles of the Demon of Fog... are actually still alive?"

"He is Lieque's son." the hunter replied.

"I want to see someone." He said complicatedly, "To be precise, it's a corpse."

The building layout here is similar to that of the Liucheng Security Bureau. The lobby on the first floor is sparsely populated by internal affairs warlocks in white uniforms and law enforcement warlocks in black uniforms. Just from the appearance, it is difficult to tell that Qiao Licorice and Hunter

When they say "the working environment is not good", I know that when they say it's not good, they don't mean the physical environment, but the work style.

In other words, Qi Zhe is no longer alive.

But can't she see this herself? No... As a spell caster, she can certainly see the existence of the curse, but she cannot take on the perspective of someone who does not have the same conditions as herself.

Qiao An had no knowledge about curses, and even if he could detect the signs, he would not be able to recognize that it was a curse. And if he was a warlock with both excellent awareness and corresponding knowledge, he might be able to see the specific content of this curse. Although it is not something

There is no room for others to take advantage of something that is not visible to the public, but just in case, I still have to talk to Qingniao later and find a way to deal with it.

"You probably don't have a mission right now, right? Since you just want to look around, what are you going to do at the Security Bureau?" I asked.

I have seen the name Bad Zhao in the archives. He was the culprit who summoned the Demon of Fog. He fled overseas twenty years ago and smuggled back to China in the past two years.

I pictured in my mind his face full of hatred, his body covered in scars as he fought desperately to save the survivors in the fog, and the image of him giving up revenge at the last moment and leaving in despair.

To be honest, I'm not mentally prepared to face Sabretooth again.

These will be discussed in detail later. After entering the Tianhe City Security Bureau, the hunter said goodbye to us temporarily and went to check out the remains of Bad Zhao. Qiao Licao and I found the person responsible for receiving us.

In a sense, those demons are like the remnants of the Demon of Mist that still remain in the world.

I'm afraid.

"Corpse?" I wondered.

This is actually a quite abnormal situation. The Fog Demon is dead, and the demons that are its tentacles will also die. Because of this, after I eliminated the Fog Demon in Day Town, the demons that haunted the fog also died.
To be continued...
