Reborn as a fox

Chapter 194 Demon Hunting Hall
The Devil Hunting Pavilion is located on the first floor of Building A-149, Black Street.This is a firm that has just opened, but no one knows exactly what the owner is doing.

However, when the boss of West Street planned to extort insurance premiums from this newly opened office, but instead caused the entire Black Dragon Gang to be slaughtered, someone well-informed finally found out that the owner of this office was not easy to mess with.No, it should be said that it is absolutely untouchable!

Because of this incident, the owner here was also given the notoriety of "White-haired Rentu".

Of course, things like this in the black street are already used to it, or how can I say it is a black street.And it can be said that in the entire Ottoman Empire, there is no place that is darker and more chaotic than this place.There are even rumors that due to the gathering of evil forces here, demons from the demon world are attracted.

As for whether such rumors are credible, it is up to the benevolent to see the wisdom of the benevolent.But if you want to say that this is the stronghold from the demon world to the human world, it is just nonsense of some people with ulterior motives, then you should pay more attention when you sleep at night.

In fact, Black Street does have a passage connecting the worlds of humans and demons.

It's just that this secret passage can only be known to certain special people.For example, the owner of the Demon Hunting Hall, a demon hunter named Xue Xiaobai.And the reason why the entire Black Dragon Gang was slaughtered overnight was not because of trivial matters like protection fees, but because the members of the Black Dragon Gang were all puppets possessed by demons.

It is now 10:11 in the morning. After repairing Xia Ximeng's bicycle and sending it to the carport of St. Cloud School, Xue Xiaobai pushed open the door of the Black Forest Restaurant at No. A-145 Black Street.

"Welcome, what do you want?" When the store door opened and the welcome bell hung on the top edge of the door rang, the proprietress who was standing behind the bar and wiping the glass greeted warmly.

Then he raised his head and saw the appearance of the man who walked into the store. A different smile appeared on his face, and he said briskly, "You're here."

"En." Xue Xiaobai responded, as indifferent as ever.He glanced around the restaurant and found that there were only a few customers scattered in the store, so he went straight to the bar and sat down.

The beautiful and sexy proprietress didn't care about Xue Xiaobai's cold reaction. When she saw the man sitting down, she asked in a familiar tone, "What do you want to eat?"

"Cake, coffee."

"Still the same?"

"kindness."

"You don't come here very often recently." After ordering the waiter to bring the food, the beautiful proprietress who had a certain affection and intention for Xue Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Something."

While talking, Xue Xiaobai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one casually, tapped it lightly on the bar, and then snapped his fingers and ignited a flame at his fingertips to ignite the cigarette, and then deeply Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, a smoke ring appeared in the air that made people feel more elegant.

"Then have the matter been dealt with now?" At this moment, the proprietress who secretly watched Xue Xiaobai's actions showed a fascinated look for a moment, but fortunately she restrained herself in time.

Apparently, her worries were unnecessary, because Xue Xiaobai, who was a little disturbed by meeting an unexpected person today and smoking a cigarette, didn't notice this small detail that had some meaning.

"probably."

"It probably means that everything has not been dealt with yet?" When she said this, the mature but still single proprietress was a little disappointed.Because if Xue Xiaobai's matter hadn't been dealt with properly, he wouldn't come to her restaurant often, so the chances of seeing him would be correspondingly reduced.

Seeming to have heard another layer of meaning in these words, Xue Xiaobai raised his head, his eyes looked at the proprietress through the smoke, and a slight arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth.

This kind of smile fascinated the proprietress, but she was a little worried that her gaze would be too straightforward, so she shifted her gaze a little, lowered her head and wiped the wine glass.

Fortunately, at this moment, the waiter brought Xue Xiaobai's food over, which made the proprietress, who was a little embarrassed as she lowered her head and wiped her wine glass under Xue Xiaobai's seemingly inadvertent gaze, heaved a sigh of relief.

Xue Xiaobai picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of cake and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully like a gourmet, and then took a sip of coffee.

"The taste is still so good." Xue Xiaobai sighed.

"What, have something on your mind?"

"Can you see it?"

"Well, no matter how delicious it is, you don't express such emotion, and you finish it in a few mouthfuls. Today, you are a bit abnormal."

"Really, seeing that guy, did your mood really get affected?" Hearing what the proprietress said, Xue Xiaobai seemed to be lost in thought.Suddenly he took a puff of cigarette and let it out long.At this moment, his eyes were a little deep.

Memory is like an opened box, and I can't help but think of the scene when I saw my mother sitting alone by the window looking up at the blue sky when I was young.At that time, mother was thinking about that man, right?that bastard!
……

10:34 p.m., location, master house.

"Ah!"

At this time, Xia Wei, who was lying on the beach chair outside the balcony on the second floor of Wanshiwu, idly watching comics, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, then removed the comic book, put his hand on his forehead, and squinted at the manga. The sun in the sky, after looking at it for a while, then murmured to himself in doubt, "Ah, it's strange, why do I always feel that the kid I met before looks so much like me?"

Thinking about it, he yawned for a long time.

At this moment, in the kitchen on the first floor of Wanshiwu, Lanzi, who was dressed at home, hummed an unknown song softly as usual, while preparing lunch attentively, exuding the air of a gentle and virtuous housewife
……

10:40 p.m., location, St. Cloud School.

This is just an ordinary school in the Ottoman Empire. As a school, it has nothing to commend it.If you have to talk about something special, well, it's still ordinary.That's right, this is just an ordinary school that couldn't be more ordinary.

And as common as the school is, in this school, there are no boys and girls with magician talents, that is to say, all the students studying here are ordinary students.

Generally speaking, on the report day of the beginning of school, after paying the tuition and taking the textbooks, you can go home directly, and this time will basically not exceed 10 o'clock.

However, unlike most students who rush home to enjoy the last day of rest as soon as they get their books, Ximeng, who has hardly met her best friends for almost the entire summer vacation, is now with her three best friends. Sitting under a certain tree in St. Cloud School, laughing and chatting.

"...Speaking of which, Academy City is really great. I couldn't believe it at first. All kinds of schools gathered together are as big as a city. I couldn't imagine it before. After seeing it with my own eyes, I was really shocked. Well, but unfortunately, after the catastrophe of the end of the day, Academy City was completely destroyed, and the entire city was turned into ruins."

At this time, a girl with blond wavy hair named Christina Joanna was speaking. She was a young lady who fit the aristocratic model in terms of appearance and temperament.

The next interface was a girl who looked like a warrior, a girl with long black hair named Li Jie, who only heard her say, "I heard that Academy City is now surrounded by a sea of ​​green, and the center of the sea of ​​green is still there." Tokiwa High School remains, and elite students from all over the world come to study there every year."

"Well, that's true. Because of the World Tree, the barren ruins are now covered with trees. When you sit on the airship and look at it from a distance, the entire Academy City is like an endless piece of land. It's like green emerald, it's really beautiful."

"Hey, is it really so beautiful? I really want to see it." Hearing Christina's tone, Ximeng said with a little fascination.

"It's just going too far, Ximeng." Immediately afterwards, she heard another girl's voice beside her.It was a girl with short blue hair and glasses named Anna who spoke at this time.

"Huh? Has Anna been to Academy City?"

"I've never been there, but the books I've read describe that place as wonderful as heaven, so I'm thinking that after graduating from St. Cloud, I can go to Tokiwa Academy in Academy City to continue my studies."

As she spoke, a look of fascination appeared on the girl's face.The breeze blew slowly, and the girl's blue hair swayed with the wind, swaying with a hint of intellectual elegance.

"So, I actually have the same idea. Well, it's not so much my own idea, it's better that my family has already decided this for me. After all, those who can go to that school are known as the world's It’s like an elite. Well, although I’m already so good, there’s no need to go there, but if I spend some time in my life there, I won’t refuse. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have done it at home. It’s something that I’m both surprised and looking forward to.”

It was Christina who spoke. Although she has become friends with commoners like Ximeng and the other three, she occasionally reveals a bit of self-righteousness as an aristocrat, but the three girls are actually used to her attitude.

"Wow, both of you actually want to go to Academy City? What a coincidence, my latest dream is also to go to Academy City."

"Hey, even Li Jie..."

Before Ximeng finished talking, the girl named Li Jie had already said, "Enen, go on an adventure mission during the summer vacation, and I heard a mercenary captain named Ryan introduce Academy City, and I heard him talk about the green sea. There is a family of elves living in it, they are elves, I really want to see those beings who are known as the children of nature."

……

Not long after, the small talk ended.

At 11:13 noon, Ximeng came to Anna's home.Anna is a girl who likes words, likes to read, and her dream is to become a writer in the future.

There is a bookstore in her home, so girls always have a lot of books to read.The girl's favorite book is a series called "Emily's Travels", which is still being serialized. It tells the story of a girl named Emily and her teacher who is always incompatible What I saw and heard while wandering around.But this book is not mainly about herself, but the stories of different teenagers and girls.

"Thank you Anna, I will return it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Ximeng, you can take your time."

"Well, that's ok. But is it really so good-looking? These books look like you have read them many times." When taking the book handed over by Anna, Ximeng looked at the book that had been turned over too many times. Looking at the slightly old pages, I couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's definitely a good book not to be missed." Hearing this, Anna pushed her glasses, looked at the girl with a slight smile, and continued, "Moreover, this book describes the scene of Academy City in detail. Knowing the current Heart of the Green Sea is very useful, you, don’t just flip through it and settle down.”

"Okay, okay, who told the three of you to go to some Tokipan school, and now you are bewitching me to join this ideal together." Ximeng let out a breath, and muttered slightly complaining.

At this time, she hugged the book Anna handed over and said, "Then I'm going home."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Ah, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye, Ximeng walked out of the bookstore.Riding a bicycle, heading for the way home.On the way, out of curiosity, I picked up one of "Emily's Travels" from the car basket.On the cover, a picture of a girl with snow-white wings flying to the blue sky came into her eyes.

"Angels Under the Blue Sky"? Just by looking at the cover, it looks like an ordinary teenage romance novel. But since it was recommended by Anna, it's still a good book." Muttering, the girl put the book back in the car The paper bag in the basket, and then accelerated to ride home.

The summer breeze blew by, and from a distance, the girl riding a bicycle's white satin-like snow hair was gently blowing with the wind, swaying in the air like an elf.

At 11:17 noon, the venue is Building A-149, Heijie.

After eating strawberry ice cream for lunch dessert, Xue Xiaobai returned to his office with a packed cake and milk.

This office has a very strong religious style of the Holy See of the Ottoman Empire. Because the two-meter-high colored windows are always closed, the sight in the room is dark with colorful colors.When you walk into the office, you can see a record player that seems to have been around for a long time. It is the kind of old antique that can drive the player to play classic music after inserting a coin.

Although the room was large, apart from a pool table, a ridiculously large desk, and a few sofas placed randomly, there was no decent furniture in the room.In general, the room feels too empty.

After Xue Xiaobai took out the packaged cake and put it on the plate by the door, a black cat sprang out from nowhere.If someone with some knowledge is here, he should be able to see that the real identity of this cat is a ghost cat with the power of invisibility and assassination from the devil world.

Seeing the black cat eating the cake beautifully and purring contentedly from time to time, Xue Xiaobai rubbed the black cat's head, a curved curvature suddenly appeared on the face that almost never smiled.
