The seawater naturally parted, and everyone was standing in a strange oval vesicle supported by bubbles and water. The vesicle was moving forward at an incredible speed. Shaqira and Sorma took turns swimming around the vesicle to maintain the stability of the magic. This experience was different from the time when Hao Ren was dragged into the deep sea by Wuyue. The only similarity was that it was equally novel and interesting.
Rollie stared at the scene in amazement. She could not find anything that could explain this phenomenon in her limited knowledge. She ran around on the "ground" made of bubbles and water. Occasionally, she saw a shadow passing by — it was a fish in the shallow water or a large string of bubbles. She would jump on it excitedly, but every time she would be bounced back by the water wall.
Vivian pulled the cat girl back to calm her down. Hasse looked at this strange "otherworldling" curiously. "What is she?"
"A cat that has become a demon." Hao Ren shrugged. "According to your classification standards, she is also an otherworldling. But a month ago, she was just an ordinary house cat. I'm curious. Would such a harmless fellow become your hunting target just because she turned into a human?"
Teuton pressed his eyebrows and looked at Hasse. "The killing instinct didn't respond?" "Neither did I."
Hao Ren did not pay attention to what the two were talking about. He only noticed that Teuton and Hasse kept a distance of three meters from them and tried not to look away when talking to them. He felt that this kind of vigilance and rejection was unnecessary since the ceasefire agreement had been signed. "You two don't have to be so far away and look away. Look, even White Flame is bolder than you. "
"Because White Flame is one of the younger generation, she doesn't have to fight against the strong killing instinct to stand with you. But we have to keep a distance from the otherworldlings to ensure that we don't lose control." Hasse said indifferently.
Hao Ren suddenly looked serious. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by killing instinct?"
"You don't even know this?" Hasse was a little surprised. "Haven't you dealt with demon hunters before?"
"I've fought a lot, but not many interactions." Hao Ren shrugged. "What exactly is the killing instinct you mentioned?"
"Demon hunters have an instinctive hostility when they see otherworldlings," Vivian explained. "It can even turn into murderous intent. That's why demon hunters and otherworldlings can start fighting just by exchanging glances. This process is similar to when different otherworldlings meet each other. The only difference is that demon hunters have a stronger hostility when they see otherworldlings, and it directly turns into combat power. That's why it's called the killing instinct."
Hao Ren's eyes suddenly narrowed. "It's this' unique phenomenon on Earth 'again … It's the same problem we discussed before."
"Hasse, do you have a killing instinct when you see me?" Vivian suddenly looked up at Hasse. "I vaguely remember that I have dealt with many demon hunters. Their killing instinct is very weak when they see me."
Hasse glanced at her cautiously and sounded a little confused. "It's incredible, but my killing instinct is in an incredibly calm state at the moment. And in my memory, the few times I've met you have been relatively peaceful. If not, the ceasefire agreement between us would not have been so easy to reach. It's the unusual calmness of the killing instinct that kept us from fighting. "
Hao Ren exhaled softly. He finally fully understood why no otherworldlings and demon hunters had reached a ceasefire agreement on Earth, but he had stood with the demon hunters many times in a row, including this time. Although both sides were still vigilant, the vigilance was purely caused by the alignment factor. In the end, Hasse still agreed to temporarily stay with a group of otherworldlings.
The main reason was not that Vivian was eloquent or that Hasse was sensible. There was only one fundamental reason: some kind of 'innate hostility' mechanism was controlling everything! And it was only under such circumstances that the mechanism fluctuated.
Hao Ren suddenly realized that if he wanted to crack the law of antagonism between the otherworldlings on Earth, this was the opportunity.
He carefully pushed the cat girl forward. "Hasse, do you have any hostility when you look at her?"
Hasse looked at Hao Ren inexplicably. "No, but what's the point?"
"It's a long way to go. Just take it that I'm bored and want to do a few experiments," Hao Ren said as he walked up to Hasse. "Do you have any killing instinct toward me?"
Hasse and Teuton shook their heads slightly at the same time. But both of them were more and more puzzled by Hao Ren's strange behavior.
Y 'zaks suddenly understood what Hao Ren wanted to do. He came up to Hasse with his daughter in his arms. "Look at us. Do you have any hostility toward us?"
Hasse instinctively reached for the weapon at his waist, but then he relaxed. "Not in terms of killing instinct, but —"
Y 'zaks was more open-minded. He scratched his face and said, "It's okay. Normal people would call the police when they see me."
"What are you doing, Mr. Landlord?" Lily came over curiously. Hao Ren pushed the canine maiden forward. "What about this?"
Hasse and Teuton immediately took half a step back. Hao Ren noticed that the muscles under their skin twitched uncontrollably. There was even a glimmer of silver light in Hasse's eyes. Although the two did not speak, it was clear that the killing instinct was activated.
Hasse, who had an older bloodline, had a more obvious killing instinct.
It was the same on Lily's side. The moment Hasse and Teuton revealed their killing intent, her golden eyes were filled with a layer of bloodlust. She shook her head vigorously and told the two demon hunters honestly, "I just wanted to bite you."
Hao Ren pushed Lily back and finally took out Lil Pea from his arms. "You don't have killing instinct when you see this, do you?"
Hasse's one eye could not help but widen. He was surprised. "This siren grew up hungry? Why is it only this long? "
Hao Ren was speechless.
At this time, Teuton suddenly frowned. "Wait a minute, I feel that this little creature has …"
Hao Ren immediately kept Lil Pea in his arms. "Oh, it doesn't matter."
In any case, it turned out that the demon hunters were not hostile to Lil Pea. Although the little guy was also a standard 'otherworldling' by definition.
Vivian frowned as she watched the whole process of the experiment. It was easy to sum up the pattern. "Mr. Landlord, you're a human, Rollie is a recently transformed cat demon, and Y 'zaks and Lil Pea are from' other places'. So, these will not trigger the killing instinct of the demon hunters. As for Lily, although her bloodline is a little strange, it is enough to trigger Hasse's hostility. It's just that the hostility is not strong, and both sides can easily control it. Therefore, the condition for the activation of the killing instinct was obvious: the 'local' born and bred, and the 'standard bloodline' that had been passed down from the Plane of Dreams 10,000 years ago could be activated. It doesn't work whether it's a visitor from another world or a new breed. "
"But you're the most inexplicable one." Hao Ren looked up at Vivian. "No one in the Blood Clan dares to compete with you in terms of bloodline, but the killing instinct of the demon hunters is even weaker than that of Lily. You can still talk to them."
Vivian spread out her hands. "I'm a little strange no matter where I go."
Hasse looked at Hao Ren and the others' discussion without any expression. He was also puzzled about his killing instinct, but the information he knew was not enough to analyze it. So, he could not help but ask, "What are you studying?"
Hao Ren looked into Hasse's eyes and cautiously asked, "What do you think the killing instinct is?"
"It's a skill that demon hunters rely on to make a living. It's the key to identifying prey. A strong enough killing instinct can even replace the hunter's Spirit Vision," Hasse said, glancing at White Flame, who was silent next to him. "With killing instinct, no prey can escape the hunter's pursuit."
Vivian suddenly asked with a half-smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the killing instinct of the new generation of demon hunters is declining, right?"
Hasse snorted and said nothing.
"You see it as a beneficial talent, but have you ever thought that it might be abnormal?" Hao Ren looked at Hasse sincerely. "Have you ever suspected that you're just being controlled by some 'instinct' that shouldn't exist?"
Hasse's only eye flashed. "What do you mean?"
