Hessiana no longer doubted Hao Ren's identity. At least, she no longer doubted that the man in front of her was Vivian's best friend.
Not everyone could get Vivian's little bat. In fact, Hessiana had never heard that Vivian would give her little bat to anyone as a keepsake. However, the aura of the little bat could not be faked, and the tame and quiet behavior it showed when it curled up in Hao Ren's palm could not be faked either. The former could prove that it really came from Vivian, and the latter could prove that it was Vivian's keepsake.
"I haven't seen Lady Vivian for hundreds of years, and she has developed a new hobby again." Hessiana looked at the little bat in Hao Ren's hand in a daze and could not help but mutter. "She is still trying to fight her amnesia."
"Now do you believe what I said?" Hao Ren looked at her with a smile and kept the little bat in his Dimensional Pocket. "I tell you, I have known you for a long time. It's just that you don't know me. I also know that your guardian is Hesperides. Am I right?"
Hessiana suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She looked at Hao Ren as if she was facing a formidable enemy. "Are you going to tell me that you held me in your arms when I was a child?"
"Why do you say that?" Hao Ren was stunned by Hessiana's train of thought.
"Don't tell me this is what distant relatives like to say," Hessiana said. "'I held you in my arms when you were a child,' 'you peed on my neck when you were a child,' and 'you used to grab my beard.' I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense. I don't respect my elders."
Hao Ren was amused by Hessiana's childish behavior. "What are you thinking? I will not talk about this. Besides, you are a little bat. You have grown up since you turned into a human. You are not a child."
Hessiana scratched her chin. "You even know this. It seems that there is nothing wrong with me."
"Are you done being vigilant?" Hao Ren was annoyed by Hessiana's probing. He quickly changed the subject. "Well, now that I have confirmed your identity, can you tell me your plan? Why did you let the humans catch you?"
The witches, including Madam Marie, had been listening to the conversation between Hao Ren and Hessiana for a long time. Now that they finally got down to business, they all turned to look at Hao Ren.
But Hessiana was a little worried. She glanced at the people around her and frowned slightly. "What I'm going to say is not something that anyone can find out. It's fine if you witches know about it, but if someone leaks the news to the demon hunters and the like …"
"I think they can be trusted," said Hao Ren. What happened in the past had already happened, so there was no need to worry about the secret being leaked. He urged Hessiana to tell them everything. "Before we 'rescued' you, they knew that a group of demon hunters was approaching this place, but they still chose to take the risk. From this point of view, they will not betray us easily."
"A group of demon hunters is approaching this place?" Hessiana raised her eyebrows. "What a nimble guy. In this case, I don't mind telling you. We have to work together in the face of the demon hunters."
Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat when he heard Hessiana's words.
Could it be that a group of demon hunters was approaching this place?
He had fabricated the news that a team of Demon Hunters was approaching this place in order to fool the witches so that he could gain their trust. Could it be that the fake news that he had casually spouted was actually the truth?! How many f * cking jinxes and dog shit luck did they have …
While Hao Ren was still deep in thought, Hessiana continued, "I don't know how many of you have heard of Vivian Ancestor, the Blood Clan Elder. What I want to tell you is that this powerful, great, wise, and perfect Blood Clan Elder is sleeping in this place."
There was a slight commotion among the witches, but they just looked at each other in confusion and whispered among themselves. It seemed that no one had heard of the name that Hessiana had praised. Only Bain, the wizard, shook his body slightly and said in a low, hoarse voice from under his hood, "I have heard of her name, but it's just hearsay. It is said that she is one of the oldest and most powerful Blood Clan in the world?"
"No one else." Hessiana raised her chin proudly as if she was the one being praised. "Among you guys, only one wizard has heard of this name. Tsk tsk … No wonder. After all, you are the marginalized residents of the Dark World. When Lady Vivian was active, you were still working as handymen in some corner of the world. Let me put it this way: Lady Vivian has been sleeping in this place for more than 200 years, and I am her only bloodline descendant. Let me emphasize here, Mom loves me! "
Hao Ren almost burst into tears. He wanted to persuade Vivian to treat Hessiana better. Did Hessiana survive for more than 600 years by self-hypnosis?
Lily suddenly had an idea. She blinked and asked, "Did you deliberately get caught by the humans because of the demon hunters who are wandering around here?"
Hessiana nodded. "Lady Vivian is sleeping here, and human activities here have become more frequent in recent years. I am worried that humans will disturb her rest, so I have been paying attention to this place for many years. Not long ago, I found a group of demon hunters suddenly appearing in this area, and they seemed to have a purpose. After a few probes, I'm sure that those guys are not here for an ordinary hunt. They're looking for something … "
Hao Ren looked at her. "The place where Vivian hibernates?"
"Yes, they are looking for the place where Lady Vivian hibernates. I could not sit back and watch, so I made a plan, which was to lure them out and kill them. Demon hunters would never let go of a prey that was right in front of them. As long as I jumped out and showed enough 'attraction', they would definitely come and 'kill' me. After all, the hibernation of the ancient Blood Clan would not run away with its legs. In my original plan, I first deliberately got caught by the humans, then spread the news with the help of the exorcists in the human society, so that the demon hunters would know that a witch has been captured in a nearby human city. Then I would make a scene at the scene of today's execution at the stake. After that, I would break out of the prison in a high-profile manner. At that time, the demon hunters would pass by the city. I believed that the noise I made would be enough to attract them to temporarily put aside their task at hand and focus on coming after me. Then, I could lead them into a trap. Listen, listen, this is a good plan! It was ruined by you bunch of hotheads … "
Hao Ren was a little stunned after listening to Little Bat's plan. But soon, he realized that it was indeed feasible. If an ordinary vampire dared to say that she would use herself as bait to kill the demon hunters, it would be a joke. But Hessiana was different. She had the power and talent of Vivian. In other words, she was a freak who could drink holy water and eat garlic. Hessiana was born with a strong resistance to the power of the demon hunters. If the demon hunters were not experienced enough, they would have been killed by Hessiana's strange characteristics.
Helen, the witch, heard Hessiana's words. "If that's the case, our actions did not disrupt your plan. Didn't you still make a scene as you wished? The chaos in the city today will soon reach the ears of the demon hunters. "
"You are a f * cking idiot!" When Hessiana heard this, she could not help but curse again. "My plan needs to be precise, okay? How big a scene I make and what kind of scene I make are all planned in advance! How can it be the same as you guys raiding the execution grounds? If I make a scene alone, at most, a powerful witch will run away, and the nearby demon hunters will not hesitate to attack. But what about you guys? When the news gets out, it's like this: the otherworldlings in XX place are rebelling! A bunch of witches and wizards are attacking the city! Even werewolves are showing up! The otherworldlings in this place are going to make a comeback. Then the demon hunters will form a combat echelon, and they will wipe out everything! "
Lily scratched her head. "Will that happen?"
"Nonsense! Don't you know the morality of humans? Especially their local churches and nobles, they will certainly exaggerate today's incident at all costs. Otherwise, how can they shirk the responsibility for their failure in the battle? What you've done today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. How many people have seen a werewolf running amok in the city with their own eyes? To think that I had deliberately disguised myself as a witch! In the eyes of the demon hunters, human wizards and pure-blooded otherworldlings are on a completely different level of threat. Do you know that? "
Hessiana's mad reprimand finally woke the witches up. Hao Ren also fully understood how he and the witches had messed up Hessiana's plan today.
There should have been only a few demon hunters wandering in the area, and Little Bat was confident that she could get rid of them by herself. However, the witches' incident, especially the public appearance of Lily as a werewolf, had alerted the demon hunters. Not only would they not fall into Hessiana's trap, but they would also likely ask for help from headquarters. For Hessiana, who desperately wanted to keep the secret of Vivian's hibernation, it was a disaster!
