The killing instinct referred to the uncontrollable killing instinct and pre-battle reaction of the demon hunters in the face of otherworldlings. The demon hunters saw it as a beneficial talent because the killing instinct allowed them to enter combat mode quickly and without mercy or hesitation when fighting against otherworldlings. More importantly, the killing instinct was the basis of many of the demon hunters' sensory skills. Eighty percent of their identification and prediction of otherworldlings was based on the killing instinct.
Of course, skilled demon hunters could still sniff out the scent of otherworldlings in a crowd even without the killing instinct. But just like Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi, they could only sense the presence of otherworldlings, but they could no longer accurately perceive their opponent's race and strength like before, and they could no longer perform pre-battle reaction.
Hao Ren frowned and looked at Liu Sheng. "What happened before the killing instinct disappeared?"
"There were no signs. The ability suddenly weakened, and to be honest … we're not even sure when it first started weakening. We can only guess that it was about a month ago." Liu Sheng crossed his hands on the table, looking worried. "The killing instinct only shows up when facing otherworldlings."
"Why did you come to me?" Hao Ren asked curiously. Although he had reached a peace agreement with the two demon hunters in front of him, the demon hunters were still sensitive to his tenants. He did not know why Liu Sheng did not seek help from his organization but came to this place instead.
Liu Sheng did not hide his thoughts. "I know your background. You should know a lot of things. I'm afraid you're more useful than us seeking help from our own organization. Besides, we did look for the higher-ups of the demon hunters in charge of the region, but … "
Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment before continuing. "The disappearance of the killing instinct is not an isolated case … I'm afraid it's not something we can control."
Hao Ren's eyes widened. "It's not just your killing instinct that's gone?!"
"The person in charge didn't elaborate, but he mentioned that the situation wasn't good. As far as I know, many elders in the tribe suddenly became active and went to various places. I'm afraid it has something to do with this matter." Liu Sheng frowned. "In fact, I hesitated for a long time before I came to you. After all, I don't want the interests of the demon hunters to be damaged. But now it seems … I'm afraid it's not just about the interests. Maybe only the one behind you can help solve this problem."
Hao Ren smacked his lips, feeling that Liu Sheng had misunderstood him. "First of all, I'm not hostile to the demon hunters, so why would I let them suffer? Secondly, the one behind me is indeed very powerful, but I don't think she will personally help you solve this kind of problem … But don't worry, I will find a way to investigate. You'd better tell me in detail about your reaction after your killing instinct disappeared. Oh, by the way, how many demon hunters do you think will be affected? "
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi exchanged a look and nodded before explaining in detail to Hao Ren. While they were discussing, Lily came over to serve the dishes. She was holding an extra-large tray and looked very happy. "Yawoo! Your food is ready! Mr. Landlord, move your arm away, the pot is hot … Also, Battie asked me to get you a bowl of rice. There are many guests today, so you can't go back for lunch. Eat here. "
Lily was already in the zone. She deftly placed three big bowls of rice, a steaming casserole, and two cold dishes on the table. She introduced the dishes to the guests excitedly. "This casserole chicken is our signature dish here. It needs to be simmered for a minute after it's served. When you open the lid, the aroma wafts up the street … The other two cold dishes are free. Enjoy."
Hao Ren looked down and saw two identical cucumber slices on the table. "… Didn't you say two cold dishes? Did you get the wrong one? "
Lily waved her hand carelessly. "It's too much, so I divided it into two plates. Just treat it as two cold dishes. It's free anyway. If you really can't accept it, just treat one as cucumber slices and the other as cucumber slices … "
The husky did not give them time to react. She turned around and hummed a little tune as she walked away. After a while, Hao Ren heard her serving the guests at the next table. "… This butter meatball is our signature dish, the aroma wafts up the street …" "This … Uncle Zhao, you don't want to order anything else? Okay … This peanut is our signature dish here … "
Liu Sheng looked at the werewolf girl who was running around happily in the restaurant but her words were all over the place. "So that's all she can say?"
Hao Ren facepalmed. "I guess this restaurant will soon be famous far and wide. Just the way it operates is already considered unique."
Liu Sheng smiled and shook his head. He reached out to open the lid of the casserole and said, "This is not bad. It's much better than what I imagined. Speaking of which, I didn't expect the dishes here to be so authentic. I can smell it even before the lid is opened …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he took a look at the pot and quickly closed it again. Hao Ren did not understand. "What's wrong?"
Liu Sheng's face was tense. "I've been too nervous lately. Maybe I'm hallucinating."
Zhao Xi gave her boss a strange look. She reached out to open the lid and quickly closed it again. "… There's something strange."
"What's wrong with her …" Hao Ren frowned and muttered. He lifted the lid and saw Lil Pea happily waving at him with a garlic sprout. "Daddy …" "Smack!"
Hao Ren closed the lid and carried the casserole to the kitchen. "Wait here, I'm going to change the pot. The chef made a mistake."
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi were confused.
When Hao Ren ran to the kitchen, it was still a mess. Vivian and Ayesha were busy. It was not that they were bad at cooking, but they were not used to the pace of cooking in a restaurant. "Vivian, give me the salt …" "Doggie, Doggie, bring these two dishes to the table at the door!" "Wuyue, where's your brother?" "Hey, where's my cleaver … Wudi, bring me your silver dagger." "Hey, where's my cleaver? Wudi, bring me your silver dagger." "What? What nonsense, didn't you use it to peel an apple yesterday? "" Y 'lisabet, did you see Lil Pea? Wasn't she in this pot just now … "
Hao Ren put the casserole aside. "Lil Pea is here. Which one of you stewed her?"
Vivian turned to look and was stunned.
The little mermaid might have jumped into the casserole by herself. With the mess in the kitchen, she could have jumped anywhere. Hao Ren did not want to add to the mess. He carried Lil Pea to the sink to rinse the little mermaid, but after rinsing her three times, she still smelled like seasoning …
Lily sniffed Lil Pea's tail as she passed by. "I can eat two bowls of rice if I lick her. Mr. Landlord, you'd better use some detergent."
"Come on, what if she eats it? She'll have diarrhea." Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Lily and put Lil Pea in the fish tank and kept it in his Dimensional Pocket. "Don't let her cause trouble outside. Sigh, I was thinking of letting her out for some fresh air since it's a busy day. What a nuisance. "
"Business is good today." Nangong Wudi smiled as he looked at the restaurant. "At first, I was worried about what if there were no customers. Now it seems that I didn't prepare enough."
"It's the first day of the restaurant. It's always lively. At least the neighbors from a few streets will come to support us," Nangong Wuyue said with a smile. "But we don't earn much today. Not only are the dishes cheap, but Lily also gave them side dishes …"
"Well, it's good enough that she remembers to collect money," Ayesha said with her arms akimbo. "Anyway, we won't lose money, and we don't expect to earn much."
Monsters running a restaurant was really messing around.
At this time, Vivian pulled Hao Ren aside and said, "I heard from Lily that the two demon hunters are here?"
"Yeah, we have something to talk about," Hao Ren said in a low voice. "Let's talk in detail after the busy afternoon is over. I suspect it has something to do with the innate hostility of the otherworldlings on Earth."
Vivian leaned over and glanced at the corner of the restaurant. Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi looked up and nodded at her.
"Oh, you go and keep them company. I'll finish my work first." Vivian nudged Hao Ren and then laughed. "Running a restaurant is really hard work. It's quite tiring. We can't have lunch together. I'll cook something good for you tonight."
"Okay, don't tire yourself out," Hao Ren replied. Before leaving the kitchen, he pointed at Y 'lisabet who was squatting in the corner. "And don't let her be a hindrance. Didn't you see she's dismantling the freezer?"
Everyone: "… Wang, come and see your daughter!"
