Hao Ren looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he sat down beside Liu Sheng. "Why are you two here?"
"Didn't I tell you that I was just passing by?" Liu Sheng nodded with a smile. He raised his hand and placed a Letta rune card that interfered with perception on the table. He flipped the card over and blocked the attention of the ordinary people around him from this corner. "The two of us used to live here for some time. Today, I remembered it, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see you guys here, and you even … opened a restaurant. "
"The restaurant isn't mine, it's a friend's." Hao Ren glanced at Liu Sheng. He was not wary of the two. Even though they were demon hunters, they had been carefully 'educated' by Raven 12345 and were harmless to him. He was just surprised that they would suddenly appear out of nowhere. "Are you really just passing by?"
Liu Sheng smiled and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Well, we actually have something to talk to you about, but we can talk about it later. Also, we're really just passing by. At least we didn't expect this place to be owned by you guys. We were wondering how we were going to find you guys. "
"We just opened today." Hao Ren turned to look at the bustling restaurant, shook his head and sighed. "We're all rookies, look at how messy it is. Fortunately, most of the people are neighbors, so we'll just let them be."
There was no need for Hao Ren to tell the two orthodox demon hunters too much about the Nangong couple. After all, they were not familiar with each other. Zhao Xi, on the other hand, started guessing. "I saw a couple at the back of the restaurant … Are they the owners? Are they the otherworldlings who want to live in seclusion in human society? "
"Is it so unbelievable that the otherworldlings want to live in seclusion?" Hao Ren glanced at him. "They are not demons or monsters, especially those who have survived in modern society. Many of them just want to live a peaceful life. You people just don't give them the chance."
"We know." Liu Sheng nodded. "Both of us are not prejudiced against them for a long time. It's just that it's a little strange to see an otherworldling living in human society. After all, the otherworldlings we've seen before were either hiding deep in the mountains or controlling a large number of human servants to form a nest in the city. Or they were the kind of ancient otherworldlings that wreaked havoc in ancient books … We've never seen anything like this before. They don't look any different from humans. "
"Oh," Hao Ren replied casually. Then, he suddenly realized something was wrong. "Wait, can't you tell the race of the couple behind the shop?"
Demon hunters were excellent hunters, especially when it came to dealing with otherworldlings. They could even intuitively determine the race and ability of the other party. This was also the reason why they were able to win the long war between the otherworldlings and end the Mythological Era. Therefore, Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi should be able to tell the race of the otherworldlings in the shop at a glance! But now, they obviously did not recognize the race of the Nangong couple.
It was understandable that they could not recognize Nangong Wudi. After all, the killing instinct of the demon hunters was ineffective against their own kind. Every demon hunter was good at hiding their aura. If they did not take the initiative to reveal their identity in front of their own kind, they could often hide it from everyone. Only Hasse, with his extraordinary experience, could recognize Nangong Sanba at a glance. But Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi should be able to recognize Ayesha as a siren, right? Sirens were an extremely rare species on the surface. No matter who saw them, their first reaction would be to be surprised and ask all sorts of questions. However, Liu Sheng's attitude clearly showed that he did not recognize them. He probably thought that the Nangong couple were ordinary land aliens.
Liu Sheng was startled when he heard what Hao Ren said. Then, he smiled helplessly. "I've been seen through … This is one of the reasons why I'm here today."
Hao Ren realized that the two in front of him were really not here for fun. He leaned forward and asked, "What's going on?"
"Our killing instinct has disappeared," Zhao Xi said flatly, her face still expressionless.
"What?!" Hao Ren could not help but gasp.
At this time, Lily's voice suddenly came from behind. "Mr. Landlord, you're lazing around here! Battie wants you to help … Wow! "
Lily finally saw the two demon hunters in the shop. She jumped back and asked, "What are you two doing here?"
"Don't be so nervous. Didn't we already stop fighting?" Liu Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the werewolf girl who had fought with them before. "Just treat us as ordinary guests. We're here to discuss something."
Lily's wolf (dog) ears that almost popped out immediately calmed down. She nodded and put the menu on the table. "Let's order then. It's an opening promotion today. All food is 30% off, beer is free, and if it's 38 dollars, two cold dishes."
The husky maiden was just that straightforward — she seriously treated the two demon hunters as her customers.
Liu Sheng did not expect the maiden to be so honest. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Looking at the plain menu, he casually ordered. "Duck yellow bean …"
Lily answered blankly, "Not yet. I've been busy writing it down on the list. I've asked around, but no one knows how to make it."
"… Do you have carp stew …"
"We can't stew fish today. Mr. Landlord's daughter is watching from the kitchen."
"What's the reason?" Liu Sheng was stunned. "Then we'll have Kung Pao Chicken."
"There's no chicken, but there's eggplant. If you don't mind, I can ask Battie to invent something. She should be able to stir-fry a dish …"
Liu Sheng stared at Lily. "We've stopped fighting, right? I'm not here to cause trouble. Why do you still have a problem with me?"
Hao Ren raised his hand to stop Liu Sheng. "Look at the maiden's eyes. Does she look like she's trying to pick a fight? I don't think so. "
Lily stared at Liu Sheng with her big, innocent eyes. Liu Sheng immediately realized that the girl in front of him was probably a creature who was never meant to be mean. He shrugged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Well, you should at least have stewed pork ribs, two cold dishes, and two bowls of rice."
Lily blinked. "There's no pork ribs. How about stewed chicken?"
Liu Sheng looked exhausted. "Alright, alright. Just make whatever you want. We're really hungry."
Lily nodded. Just as she was about to leave, Hao Ren called out to her. "Hey, wait a minute. I didn't see many people ordering pork ribs. Why is it gone?"
Lily smiled like a flower. "I saw that no one wanted the rest, so I ate them all!"
After Lily left, Hao Ren immediately held his head. "I'm really worried that the restaurant won't be able to operate normally … Are otherworldlings suitable for this?"
Liu Sheng said, "Well, it looks … uncertain."
Hao Ren sighed and thought to himself that a bunch of monsters who were used to being free and undisciplined could not be expected to open a restaurant in human society. It was already an extraordinary feat for Lily to be able to hold back her hunger and serve the dishes normally. He shook his head to get rid of the thought and looked up at Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi. "Tell me about your situation. How did the killing instinct disappear?"
"Literally." Liu Sheng carefully looked around. Although the power of the runes had dispersed the attention of ordinary people, he still subconsciously maintained a cautious attitude. "It's not clear when exactly it started, but it's probably within the last one or two months. And it didn't disappear all at once, but weakened bit by bit. By the time we discovered it, we had already lost all sense of it."
Zhao Xi added, "We encountered a wandering shadelord a while ago. It was then that we realized the killing instinct had completely disappeared. Before that, we just felt that our senses were a little slow, but we didn't think too much about it."
A demon hunter's killing instinct was something that only came into play when they were facing unusual creatures. If they did not encounter them, even if the killing instinct was gone, they would not be able to feel anything. So what Zhao Xi said was not hard to imagine.
"A large part of our ability to identify and warn against unusual creatures is based on our killing instincts." Liu Sheng's face was clouded over. "Our killing instincts are still there after we came back from God. We'll have an instinctive physical reaction when we're faced with unusual creatures, but we're just suppressing this instinct by relying on our rationality. But now … "
Liu Sheng paused and spread his hands with a bitter smile. "We really don't feel any hostility towards the otherworldlings anymore."
