Chapter 43: Symphony of the Night under the Moon (Part 2)
Eric Blando's speech was inspiring. In Gert Pharmaceutical's eyes were mountains, rivers, stars and seas.
Even Anling, who has no connection with this industry, found it very exciting, so after the dinner, she had already left the extreme witch hunter behind.
This dinner ended perfectly. Except for a few guests with poor alcohol tolerance who forced themselves to drink and vomit, there was no commotion.
Chen Yue and others continued to be responsible for escorting Eric back to their residence. In the past few days, the foundation has arranged accommodation for them in the hotel so that they can arrive at the scene as soon as possible.
Gu Yun and An Ling caught the last subway. An Ling specially chose the last car, with only her and Gu Yun inside, leaving the noisy venue. The tranquility at this moment seemed very precious.
"Gu Yun, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about my speech just now."
"Hey, I didn't expect you would be interested in speeches too?"
Anling was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect that 9.4 million people would die every year in the world."
What is the concept of 9.4 million people?
They may not have died in the long war with the gods for several years.
"Yes, humans are very fragile."
Fragile and extremely attached to the world, she became a witch by chance. Avril told her that the witch has a long lifespan that ordinary people can't imagine, but this may not be a completely good thing.
Most witches have experienced the death of their families one by one, their environment changes little by little, and they may even experience the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death of their descendants. This sense of alienation in the era cannot be eliminated. Even if they master the power of spells and black magic, they cannot change the fate of others.
Even though he is as powerful as the witch in the twilight witch, he has not been able to find the magic of life in the twilight witch.
The worse part is that any spell has to pay a corresponding price, and the same is true forever - when the witches' skin begins to age, they have to maintain their bright appearance through some kind of sacrifice, and the method given in the "Adventure Manual" is to drink the blood of women.
She and Avril are still young, but maybe sooner or later they will all have to face this choice.
So Anling really hopes that the emergence of changemakers like Gert Pharmaceuticals and Eric Brando.
There is only the sound of the subway driving on the tracks in the carriage. After people get out of the hustle and bustle, they often think about what they are.
"Gu Yun."
"Um?"
"I'm a little sleepy, so I can lend it to me."
As she thought about it, her mind became a little drowsy. An Ling simply stopped exploring the fact that it was not. She leaned on Gu Yun's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Then, the lights in the subway suddenly went out.
Gu Yun heard the footsteps gradually approaching from another carriage. The footsteps were very light, as if he was deliberately covering up his breath. He did not get up or speak. After a moment, a man wearing a gas mask on his face stopped in front of them.
The masked man had a silver sword on his waist, and the barrel in his hand was facing Gu Yun's forehead. This dress made Gu Yun think of Sperro Winchester.
"Oh? You're still awake."
A man's voice came from under the gas mask, "But since you have been following this witch lady, it means you are the target of her spell? I'm so lucky that at least the three-headed dogs didn't follow her."
Before heading to City X, Blood Cross had conducted a careful investigation of the foundation, and most of the S-level employees and A-level employees who appeared in public were recorded today, and he had never seen Gu Yun in it.
"However, since you've already been in gang with the witch, there's no need to say more."
The masked man pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang--"
……………………
An Ling woke up slowly, and the first thing that caught her eye was the warm orange light in the living room. She calmed down and found that she was lying on the sofa at Gu Yunxin's house. Avril was holding the operating board in her hand and was bored to switch channels.
She remembered that she seemed to have fallen asleep in a daze on the subway.
Why didn't Gu Yun wake her up? He even invited Avril to his new home together?
Could it be...
An Ling's face turned red.
"Hey, Sister An Ling, you're awake."
Seeing that An Ling woke up, Avril turned off the TV immediately. She had just looked around and found that there was nothing she wanted to watch.
"Why are we at Gu Yun's house?"
Please tell me that Gu Yun suddenly got up and couldn't bear to wake me up!
Anling raised her eyebrows and suggested that Avril would say some answers she wanted to hear.
But obviously, Avril did not understand the meaning of Anling's eyes, and said to the truth, "Because you encountered an attack on the subway."
"Really? Then Gu Yun is okay?"
An Ling suddenly woke up, but she thought again, it seemed that she should ask the person who attacked them was fine, right?
"The boss said that the one who attacked you might be the Blood Cross witch hunter."
When she heard about this organization, Avril was also shocked because it was one of the few witch hunters in contemporary times that could make the predecessors of associations find it difficult. The mistress once considered setting up an eyeliner in the Americas, but the predecessors sent there were eventually hunted by the Blood Cross.
There is a saying that the group of extreme witch hunters mastered a method to directly identify the witch.
However, the boss did not describe in detail the fight between him and the witch hunter. When he picked her up from An Ling's house, Gu Yun was calm and his tone was like he had solved a gangster on the road.
While talking, the door opened.
"Gu Yun, where have you been?"
When An Ling saw the person entering the door, she asked subconsciously.
“I went to the foundation’s branch.”
If he was knocked down by him, he might have just handed the masked man to the subway station and waited for someone to be discovered tomorrow morning. However, this time, Shen Yue and others' reminders attracted his attention, so he went for a trip and handed the unconscious masked man to the expert.
He is not good at torture, but Shen Yue said that many people in the branch are very good at drawing intelligence from prisoners, and the captain himself did not attend the dinner today, and he has been staying in the combat center to investigate the information about the Blood Cross.
In order to thank him for traveling this trip in the middle of the night, the branch also reimbursed the fees he had made for the round trip.
"Shen Yue and I were on the phone. You can live in her house first in the next few days."
Gu Yun had no intention of intervening in the dispute between the Demon Hunter and Eric Brando. To be honest, he didn't know these two people, and he couldn't tell which one is right or wrong. But now these Demon Hunters have pointed their finger at An Ling and even carried dangerous weapons, so he couldn't ignore this matter.
