The otherworldling families in the Greek Peninsula were the first to notice the anomaly. They found that the demon hunters, who were on a mission all over the world, had disappeared. Then, investigators reported that they had found the demon hunter strongholds that were empty. A few days later, the shelters in Northern Europe and North America also reported the same news: the demon hunters were gone.
In Europe, Asia, America, and even in the inaccessible Arctic Circle and the most secretive Antarctic region, the demon hunters seemed to have received the same order to evacuate their positions. Due to their weak position in terms of information resources, the otherworldling families could not determine the demon hunters' movements. By the time they realized what was going on, the demon hunters had disappeared. They could only infer that the demon hunters had moved in an orderly manner based on the remaining clues. So far, only a small werewolf family in South America had reported that they had encountered a team of demon hunters who had moved in a hurry. But the demon hunters were in a hurry. Although they had obviously caught the scent of the werewolves, there was no conflict between the two sides.
All kinds of reports about the disappearance of the demon hunters appeared on the desks of otherworldling families all over the world within a few days. Whether it was the traditional families that lived in seclusion or the shelters that huddled together, they all received the news. The big families had sent their most elite investigators to confirm the authenticity of the news. The suicide squad members who ventured into areas controlled by the demon hunters all returned safely without exception. They only found some residual traces of magic and empty strongholds left behind by the demon hunters. Then the families that kept in touch with each other began to communicate with each other. The news spread among the shelters and eventually, it spread all over the world.
The demon hunters had disappeared.
By the time Hessiana called, the Athens sanctuary had completed the search of the entire Greek Peninsula. The otherworldlings had carried out an intensive operation that had not been seen for thousands of years. During the days when the demon hunters were on the move, they did not dare to do such a thing. The result of the search was that the demon hunters had disappeared. Several otherworldling families in Asia were also on their own. Although their progress was lagging behind that of Europe and America, it seemed that the results were the same.
Vivian told Hao Ren in detail what she had heard from Hessiana. There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice. "I feel that something is wrong."
"Of course, this situation is not right." Hao Ren threw the chess pieces on the table. "They can't leave Earth, can they? And you said that a family in South America saw the demon hunters moving? "
"Well, Hessiana said it was a werewolf family that had some connections with the Holfins. That's why they could talk to the Athens sanctuary." Vivian nodded gently. "They encountered a group of demon hunters who were retreating."
"This means that the demon hunters did not disappear into thin air. They had gone somewhere," said Hao Ren, scratching his chin. "That there was no more information?"
"That means that the demon hunters did not disappear, but went somewhere. The unusual creatures were at a disadvantage against the Demon Hunters, especially when it came to intelligence. As the demon hunters had sealed off the entire world, the otherworldling families were basically in a state of isolation. It was still fine for them to keep in touch with each other, but it was impossible for them to go to the places where the demon hunters were guarding to gather information. Everyone only got the news after the Demon Hunters disappeared, and there was a long delay in the news. By the way, Hessiana is asking about the movements of our demon hunters. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "The demon hunters here are not doing anything. One is watching TV with his sister, and the other is selling food outside …"
Vivian glared at him. "I'm not talking about these two! Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi! "
After being reminded by Vivian, Hao Ren suddenly came to his senses. He slapped his thigh and said, "I'll go find them!"
"Wait, I'll go with you," Vivian said as she put on the jacket that she had just taken off. "I'll look after you on the way."
"No, it's just a trip to the city. It won't take much effort." Hao Ren stopped Vivian and pointed at the hungry people in the living room. "You should cook at home. Look at this house full of hungry people."
Vivian turned her head and saw Lily lying on the sofa, watching TV and stuffing chips into her mouth. Noticing Vivian's gaze, the husky girl wagged her tail and said, "Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry! By the way, what are you two whispering about over there? "
Vivian's mouth twitched and nodded at Hao Ren. "… Okay, come back soon."
Hao Ren turned and patted Lil Pea, who was still holding the chess pieces on the table. "Good girl, I'm going out. I'll be back soon."
Just as he was about to go out, Rollie suddenly ran down the stairs. The silly cat shouted, "Big Boss Cat, what are you doing? Are you going to buy me dried fish? "
"You only know how to eat." Hao Ren glared at the cat demon. "I'm going out to do something."
"Then I'll go with you!" The dumb cat jumped up to Hao Ren with a stubborn look on her face. "I'll eat something delicious!"
Hao Ren thought for a moment. There was no point for the cat to stay at home anyway, and it would take a lot of effort to persuade her to stay. So, he did not say anything and just let the cat maiden change into her clothes. The two then rushed out of the house and headed for the city.
If he was not wrong, Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi, the two "demon hunters" in charge of the area, should still be working in the mall. At least a month ago, he had seen them there when he went to the city.
After Hao Ren left, Lil Pea was still holding the chess pieces in her arms for a long time. Then she patted her tail and said, "Daddy sucks at chess! I have to go easy on him! "
On the other hand, Hao Ren, who had already left the house, had no idea what his precious fish daughter was mumbling about. He got into his car, the Big Dipper, and headed straight into the city. He rushed to the mall where Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi worked as normal people. He still remembered the shop where Zhao Xi sold mobile phones, but there was no sign of the expressionless female demon hunter behind the counter.
"You're looking for Zhao Xi?" The other clerk at the mobile phone counter was a little surprised when she heard the reason for Hao Ren's visit. The young lady with a lot of freckles on her nose could not help but look at Hao Ren a few times. She probably did not expect the usually quiet and friendless Zhao Xi to have an acquaintance. "She hasn't been here for a few days. She asked for a long leave from her superior."
"Long leave? When did that happen? " Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat. The news of the "demon hunter's disappearance" seemed to be confirmed. "Did she say when she'll be back? Where did she go? "
"A week ago. I don't know where she went," the freckled lady said as she looked Hao Ren up and down suspiciously. Her tone was a little more cautious. "Who are you to her? Why are you looking for her? "
Hao Ren noticed that the lady was wary of a stranger who had suddenly popped in and asked questions. He smiled. "I'm her friend. I've been here a few times before, but you weren't around the last few times. This lady here has seen me before."
"Oh, I've seen you before. You've been here a few times." The other clerk recognized Hao Ren. "But we really don't know where Zhao Xi went. She doesn't usually talk to people, and she never talks about her family."
"Hmm …" Hao Ren rubbed his chin. "Then do you know a manager called Liu Sheng on this floor?"
"Manager Liu? He hasn't been here for a while. Apparently, something happened back home and he asked for a long leave as well, "the freckled lady said." Almost at the same time as Zhao Xi. "
Hao Ren understood what was going on. He nodded slightly. "Alright, I got it. Thanks a lot. "
After leaving Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi's workplace, Hao Ren let out a sigh of relief. He was sure of one thing: at least in this city, the demon hunters in charge had left.
But they did not 'disappear into thin air'.
"The two of them left after asking for leave, which means they didn't leave in a hurry. They even planned to come back. Everything was planned. It sounds more like they left after receiving a transfer from their superiors," Hao Ren analyzed. "But I don't know if it's the same for other demon hunters."
Rollie listened to Hao Ren's analysis and stretched. "So there's good food?"
Hao Ren was stunned. He looked around and realized that the cat was the only one who could listen to his analysis. He slapped himself on the face. "… Why the hell did I bring you out?"
"Because I'm so cute. So there's good food? "
Hao Ren was speechless.
