The Divine Hunter

above the stone carvings.

The bloody corpse-like man took a deep breath.

Sitting up straight, his eyes inadvertently glanced at his muscles everted, not human-like hands, and his lava-like eyes flashed a hint of horror, "What happened to my body?"

"Why did it become like this?"

His gaze swept across his thighs, chest, and shoulders.

Rough fingers, trembling to touch back, neck, and bumpy cheeks.

He just woke up.

This tormented body is covered with disgusting scars.

From the looks of it, it doesn't look like a human anymore, does it?

"Dude, you forgot? You got into this lab after being anesthetized by a warlock named Steingard," Phleus took a deep breath, still telling the brutal truth, "as Subject, subjected to a series of cruel, perverted torture... In the end, your body was taken over by an evil spirit."

"Several brothers from the Snake faction helped expel the evil spirits, and you regained consciousness."

"Experiment? Yes, it's an experiment!"

Suddenly, the dark red muscle fibers on Kayan's cheeks trembled like a cramp.

Breathing becomes rapid.

Memories are like stormy waves, rolling in my mind.

Cargo ship, sea, storm.

Angry, cursing, wailing, numbness.

Innumerable words, images, and sounds, innumerable scattered fragments, are strung together, and then rearranged to become clear and logical.

He remembered it all.

before falling into this field.

He escorted a dead slave ship, the Flying Buck.

No longer accepting precarious commissions, and after several years of stable life.

until one day.

The captain of the Flying Buck told him,

Because of "crowded cabins\

,"As a last resort, a passenger named Steingard was arranged to move into his cabin.

Unlike most humans, the warlock never discriminates against witchers.

Moderate attitude, polite and generous in words and deeds.

His deep eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Everyone who talks to him feels like a spring breeze.

After some time together on the ship, he unknowingly weakened his defenses against the warlock.

I didn't expect the other party to hide evil intentions.

One night, while he was meditating. Steingard numbs him with magic and drugs.

In the dark, he vaguely heard outside the cabin, the waves were surging, the storm was raging, the hulls collided, and the crew members were mourning.

Involuntarily, he was taken back to the laboratory.

The beginning of a dark day, life is better than death.

The operating table became his home, blood stained red and dry.

The endless torture and torture, endless pain, drowned him.

From the very beginning, he resisted until the end, to crying bitterly and begging for mercy, without any reservation, telling all the secrets of the cat pie.

But the devil still didn't let him go.

Torturing him continuously, torturing him to the point of collapse and numbness!

Desire to die!

The last scene in my memory - an animal stone sculpture, opened its scarlet eyes at him, like a vortex, sucking him in.

His soul seemed to be free from the **, free from pain, and fell into an eternally dark "prison".

Knowing nothing about the outside world, not even having any dreams.

There is no trouble or joy.

Occasionally, only a little movement can be heard, and a vague light can be seen.

until today--

He escaped the drowsy darkness.

Every breath is easy and free.

There is only one obsession left in my heart!

…

"It was you who saved me." Kayane took a deep breath and returned to reality, his scarlet eyes swept across several completely unfamiliar faces, and his hoarse voice contained a hint of doubt, "Why help me, we used to know each other. ?"

"I'll introduce it to you again. These four masters of the Snake Sect, Lesso, Oaks, Serrit, and Roy... It was they who put in a lot of effort to save you."

The four Snake Sect nodded to him.

"And I... Vulture Flius, we met fifty years ago, from Sintra to Vizima, remember?" The owl's icy voice in the past was now full of warmth, and his eyes were filled with warmth. Soft, "You told me about your ideals at the time, saving a lot of money, buying a big house, getting a wife, adopting a boy, a girl..."

"When I arrived at Vizima, because of the entrustment, I said goodbye to you in a hurry, and I didn't even leave a contact method." The vulture sighed, "I didn't expect it to be fifty years."

"Since the old friend was in trouble and happened to meet again, I just gave you a hand."

"Frius..." Kaian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "I remember you, 6 years younger than me, passed the green grass trial one session later, and luckily avoided the sequelae of emotional out-of-control."

"We are all rationalists, so we can talk like that." There was a faint light on the ugly face.

"Um."

"Owl, the four masters of the Snake Sect, you have pulled me back from the abyss. I am so grateful!" Kaiaen jumped off the stone sculpture, his slender body bent down, and bowed deeply towards several people. With a bow, "I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"

"Repay or something, don't worry. How are you feeling now?" Oaks breathed a sigh of relief and looked up and down curiously, "Is there any discomfort? After all, that evil spirit has occupied your body for 30 years and just left."

As Oaks said, everyone couldn't help looking at the stone sculpture. According to their assumptions, after the evil spirit left Kayan's body, it should enter the stone sculpture.

At this moment, the blood on the surface of the stone carving has dried up, but compared to before, this thing does not see the slightest change.

The magical aura that lingered around became weaker.

Roy also cooperated with everyone, showing a look of surprise.

"Maybe our Axie attack has an extraordinary effect and completely wiped out the evil spirit."

"It saves a lot of effort."

...

"I'm full of strength." Kaian closed his eyes, touched his chest, and felt the long-lost heart beat.

Twisting limbs, neck, and all the joints made a crackling sound.

Then he clenched his hands into fists and jumped vigorously with his toes clasped.

He easily jumped to the height of three meters.

This body is ugly, but it contains a vigorous vitality, and it has a keen response and amazing power.

"My condition...is better than ever!"

…

And Roy Anjin's pupils turned, and he suddenly found that after the evil spirit was swallowed by himself, an ability in the other party's body also changed dramatically-

Mystical Enhancement (Passive): The body is transformed by unknown energy, the vitality and magic power are strengthened, the physique +5, the spirit +5, and all pain sensations are lost.

Before, Kaiyan was like a golem, able to draw elemental energy from the air to survive and heal itself at a high speed, but now they all disappear.

However, the 5 points of will that was deducted were added back, and it became 8 again.

"It seems that because of the existence of the evil cat, Kaiyan can survive in the laboratory without eating or drinking for decades."

When the evil cat was possessed, the host's personal will was imprisoned. After being expelled, it left behind a more powerful transformed body.

This is the so-called blessing and misfortune.

Inspired by this, Roy thought of those powerful cursed ones.

curses, and possessed by evil spirits.

Both of these methods are, to some extent, shortcuts to increasing power—the way of evil!

...

"So several masters, what year is today?"

"November 18, 1261," Serret said. "There is still a month to come before the Winter Solstice."

"1261..." Kaiyan pondered for a moment, and his expression became dazed.

This date is the last day on the "Flying Bucks\

,""Thirty years have passed."

The crowd was amazed.

Imprisoned in the laboratory for more than 30 years, normal human beings have long since died of thirst and turned into dead bones.

But Kayan was still alive and kicking.

Except that the image of the blood-colored mummy is too terrifying, and the body is too healthy to be healthy.

A miracle.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?" Serret stared at the man, his eyes full of curiosity, "I think you still need a detailed physical examination and tailored magic treatment."

Kaiyan was noncommittal, "Brothers, I have another question, did you see two warlocks after you entered the laboratory?"

The voice fell, and the scarlet eyes narrowed into a slit.

The rasping sound like a rasp was a bit cold.

Just waking up, Kaiyan didn't have too many mood swings, because all his emotions were washed away by the "dark prison", the grinding wheel of time.

But now, looking back over time, hatred has returned.

He had to make the cut himself.

Sever ties to the past, be it crime or good deeds, whether hatred or nostalgia.

Only in this way can you break free from the shackles and be reborn.

"Steingard, Matteo Sikura?" The bald man with his arms around his chest shook his head, "We found the body of one of them."

"There is no doubt that you have only one enemy left... and he escaped from the laboratory, whereabouts unknown..."

"I see..." Kaian clenched his fists and nodded.

"Old man, thirty years have passed, and the world has changed a lot. You need time to slowly adapt to the new environment." Phrius extended his hand to him, "Come with us, find a place to settle down first. Come down, let's talk about revenge later."

The owl did this, and it was not selfish.

The case of Alphonse Willie made him realize the need for witchers to join forces.

Unite in all, and you will not be bullied.

And the Snake faction already has four guys.

He should also have a similar, to add some confidence to the cat pie.

"Where is it outside? A city in the north?" Kayan shook hands with his old friend. "I remember when the accident happened, the Flying Buck was heading for the port of Novigrad with a full load of cargo."

"We are in the northernmost part of Nuo City, the secret cave below the Temple Island."

"Then... a few of you think I can go out to meet people with my appearance?"

The blood-colored pupils swept across his demon-shaped body, and Kaiyan grinned, barely showing a wry smile.

This face has not changed in expression for so long that the facial muscles have sloughed off, and the smile looks extremely stiff and awkward.

Coupled with the blood-colored muscles that have been stripped of the skin, and the scars on the face, if you walk in the secular world, on the streets, you will definitely stun people alive!

...

"Kayan, as a veteran witcher, you should understand that our business does not depend on looks!" Oakes said indifferently.

In fact, the honor of the other party...as well-informed as he was, when they first met, they were all taken aback.

According to his true thoughts, he is not as cute as a ghoul!

But you have to comfort each other and tell some white lies.

"The world is very big. As long as you are healthy, you can eat meat, drink, fight, and fight Quint, you will never lack fun."

"If you don't mind what others think," Serret gave Roy a look, who understood and immediately took out a spare set of clothes from the space. "A cape, a hood, plus a visor, and sunglasses are enough to get out of all trouble."

"Man, I rented a house by the Nuocheng Canal, put on my clothes, and come home with me!" Phryus' gray-green eyes were filled with a hint of longing, "I forgot to tell you, not long ago, a new There's an apprentice named Carl, who's a little timid, but has a lot of talent, maybe you can give him some pointers."

The man was silent for a moment.

In this world, he is alone and has no friends to rely on.

"Well...then I'll disturb you all."

Kayan took the clothes obediently, and soon, he was shrouded in a black cloak.

Cheeks are also obscured by hoods, masks, and sunglasses.

A weird mix of witcher and night rogue.

…

The four Snake faction witchers next to each other exchanged glances.

Their understanding of this guy is far less than that of the owl, and they can't talk about how much trust they are at the moment.

So Roy, the youngest, was sent out as a test, and he spread out the weapons and blueprints he had previously harvested in front of Kaiyan.

"Now that you have recovered your sanity, these things will be returned to their original owners."

Kayan took over the Moon Blade naturally, caressed it gently, and waved it a few times at will, the smart silver light swept across the air, and the scarred cheeks became excited.

Scarlet eyes glanced at the stack of blueprints again.

The grace of saving lives should be expressed,

"It's enough to get the weapons back. These blueprints are given as gifts to several masters. Of course, this is far from enough to express my gratitude."

Kayane paused, "I remember that I was carrying five cat pie blueprints with me at the time. It seems that there is another one that was lost on the Flying Buck. When I find the ship and retrieve the blueprint, I will hand it over to me."

"How does this work?!"

The four people from the Snake faction looked at each other and were surprised. This guy is so willing?

Then the character is not bad.

"Roy, just accept the blueprint!" The owl also helped to persuade him. The Snake Sect Demon Hunter was a great contributor to saving his old friend this time. "You deserve it!"

"But if you can, after collecting all the cat pie drawings, can you lend us a look..."

"Why not?"

Roy then "reluctantly" retracted the blueprint.

...

Pack your bags.

Before everyone left, they swept the entire laboratory again.

This time there was no "leave no grass", they only took away the most valuable books, and the alchemy instruments were left in place.

If the escaped researcher can be dealt with, this underground laboratory can be transformed into a secret base for the Cat Pie.

Think about it, it's not too exciting to set up a non-human secret base under the Eternal Fire base camp.

The feline statue, the witcher, didn't let it go. Roy packed it into a loot package. After all, it could lure evil spirits from other worlds and research it, which was of great use to him.
