Chapter 81 – Intern Dragon Hunter Squad
“As expected, Little White went north. Looking at the photos she posted, she must be on a train too?”
On the train, Su Jiu leaned against the soft couch, fiddling with her phone. Occasionally, she took photos with people who thought she was a cosplayer. It was quite comfortable. She had been too tense for too long and it was time to relax.
She took another leave of absence from the irritable Lu Nan and started watching anime. Casually picking up the gourd in the anime, which looked like wine but was actually called Sprite, she drank it contentedly, thinking only that it was missing a few peanuts.
“Excuse me, have you seen a demon that looks like a child pass by?”
A rather youthful and beautiful voice interrupted her anime-watching. With a casual glance, the person’s height and demeanor were similar to Xiao You’s, but the “Da Bai” on her chest… the badge caught Su Jiu’s attention.
She was inwardly puzzled: “Dragon Hunter? But why is it a metal badge?”
However, she didn’t react much. Su Jiu got up slightly and asked with some confusion, “A demon that looks like a child? Don’t these long-distance trains have demon-sealing arrays? How could there be a demon?”
“I’m very sorry!”
The girl suddenly bowed, making Su Jiu dizzy. After apologizing, she looked up and said earnestly, “That Night Demon is someone’s beast pet. The array that prevents outside demons is useless against it since it has a contract. Our Intern Dragon Hunter Squad is tracking it and boarded this train. Its master took it back just as we were about to catch it.”
At this moment, the girl noticed Su Jiu’s face and couldn’t help but look at her a couple more times. For some reason, she thought of the “Little Junior Sister” from the cultivation manga…
The glint of swords and flashes of spears, slaying a hundred demons with a smile.
But seeing the anime Su Jiu was holding, she shook her head. What was she thinking? This was just a cosplayer. Quickly composing herself, she said, “If you see it, please be sure to call for help. That Night Demon has killed many people. Although it was injured, it can recover by feeding on fear after killing someone.”
“Okay,” Su Jiu nodded slightly.
The girl immediately moved on to the next seat to spread the word.
“This person looks familiar… Intern Dragon Hunter Squad, what is that?”
Su Jiu watched the girl’s retreating back, pursing her lips slightly, trying to recall something. She shouldn’t have met her, should she?
Why did she feel so familiar?
“Mommy, why aren’t you playing it anymore…” E Huo’s voice echoed in her mind.
Su Jiu glanced at E Huo, who was sticking out its tongue in her sleeve, and continued browsing anime. She opened a bag of potato chips, feeding herself one chip and E Huo one.
A Night Demon at the highest level of Initial Stage Battle General? If one slice isn’t enough, will two do? If not, then another slice!
“Mommy, this thing called potato chips has no energy, but it’s delicious.”
Thinking of this, the big and small one, one outside and one in her mind, watching silly anime, burst into laughter: “Goose goose…”
This drew sighs from some passersby, who thought it was a pity that such a beautiful young girl was mentally unstable.
…
After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness. It was probably because they had just passed through a tunnel, and then there were several loud shouts from the corridor.
“Ah! Something… urk.”
“Wuwuwu~” “Hiss—”
It was the voice of a middle-aged man, who seemed to have seen something terrifying, followed by a strange, low growl.
The man’s voice abruptly ended with the sound of tearing clothes, followed by the woman next to him, seemingly his wife. She screamed, then suddenly seemed to notice something and let out a cry.
“Daddy!!”
“Husband, are you alright! Wait… what is this thing?! Ah!”
“Bang!” With the sound of a window shattering, it seemed the demon had broken through the window and escaped.
Immediately after, three dazzling white flashes suddenly appeared nearby.
Hearing the commotion, Su Jiu poked her head out to take a look. A blue light flashed in her eyes. After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and nonchalantly put on her Bluetooth headset again.
That man was throat-slashed, but why was the woman injured and hugging her daughter?
Was it to protect her daughter?
“Mommy, the sound, the sound, I can’t hear it!”
This action annoyed E Huo, who thrashed around inside her. Su Jiu’s eyelids twitched slightly. She placed one earbud into her sleeve and said, “Stick your head over here and listen to this.”
What kind of beast pet needs to listen to the sound while watching anime!
Can’t you learn to read subtitles?!
As Su Jiu was complaining, the train passed through the tunnel. Some passengers in the vicinity noticed the commotion. After a second of silence, they suddenly let out sharp screams.
“That man is dead!!”
Then, several people wearing Dragon Hunter Uniforms and two attendants came from another cabin. Leading them was a middle-aged woman. Her uniform was more advanced than the others, and she wore a silver badge on her chest.
This slightly surprised Su Jiu. Are the Intern Dragon Hunter Squads led by War General level Dragon Hunters? That shouldn’t be right!
Are they here to handle some incident?
She flipped over and turned to look at the Silver Dragon Hunter, wanting to see why she was here. At this moment, the intern Dragon Hunter from before walked over with a camera. Her expression was serious as she said, “Teacher, as you instructed, I was waiting outside in advance and indeed photographed the demon, but then there was white light.
“However, I captured the appearance of the light. It seems to be a small array. I feel it was summoned back to the Spiritual Space by its owner. It must still be in the carriage.”
“Lu Xin, well done. You are the greatest genius in your father’s lineage. You will get full marks for this third-year internship.”
The middle-aged woman nodded slightly, then her gaze swept over the other five intern Dragon Hunters who showed envious expressions. With a sharp scrutiny, she said, “Aren’t you going to investigate quickly? What are you standing around for? Believe it or not, I’ll give you unsatisfactory marks?”
The faces of the other five Dragon Hunters changed greatly. They quickly went to the woman wearing the long-sleeved dress and began to investigate.
On the woman’s shoulder, there was a jagged tear, and blood was constantly flowing. She tightly held a girl who had already fainted from fear. Her pretty face revealed deep terror.
“Demon… so scary…”
Beside her was a man with his neck cut in half, blood occasionally splashing out, truly terrifying. He seemed beyond saving.
Then she grabbed a Dragon Hunter beside her and asked nervously, her eyes wide, “My husband… is my husband dead… Hahaha.”
She looked like a madwoman mourning her dead husband. The intern Dragon Hunters were startled and backed away from her frenzied expression.
The middle-aged Dragon Hunter saw this scene and frowned. She shouted to the surroundings, “Does anyone have a healing bloodline?” Originally, a few people wanted to come forward.
But then she added, “Anyone above Intermediate Stage Warrior with healing skills, please come forward.” Those people sat down somewhat awkwardly.
After speaking, she repeated it a few times. Seeing no one, she prepared to tell the attendant beside her to broadcast throughout the train.
If no one came forward, they would have to get off at the next stop to take this woman for treatment. She was too severely injured.
After a few more minutes, only a young man who looked like he was on holiday from university arrived. He confidently asked, “B-class bloodline Black Blood Vine, just reached Intermediate Stage Warrior level, is that okay?”
