Gong Shu drank iced black tea and ate frozen dumplings as he explained the basic knowledge of superhumans to Wen Wen for nearly an hour. Wen Wen had already filled several pages with notes.
As a detective, Wen Wen was also very fast at recording information, almost at the level of a shorthand reporter.
"Alright, that's about it. You've extracted everything from my brain and filled it with frozen food."
Gong Shu stood up, patted his stomach, and sighed, "Speaking of which, you young people don't smoke or drink, and you only eat this kind of food. You really live a dull life." Su Dan Novel Network
"I thought you were eating quite deliciously..." Wen Wen raised an eyebrow. He had later cooked another pot of dumplings for Gong Shu, which he had also finished.
"Cough, cough, I usually eat these at home too, but I'm a bit disappointed that I can't get anything good to eat. Alright, no more talk, I should be leaving. If I stay any longer, you young man might not be happy anymore."
Gong Shu put on his clothes and prepared to leave. Wen Wen really wanted to say that he had no intention of kicking him out, but he still didn't.
When it came to bantering and provoking people, he could speak very smoothly, but he rarely spoke words that revealed his true feelings.
"Thank you very much for the guidance this time. I owe you a favor."
Seeing Gong Shu to the door, Wen Wen said solemnly. He rarely thanked people. As a former detective, Wen Wen had always been the one receiving thanks.
"No need for thanks. Your activity as a freelance hunter has also eased our pressure."
"You should be able to tell that our manpower is actually very tight, so even if you are an unofficial freelance hunter, as long as you can help, we don't mind helping you become stronger."
"However, if possible, I still want you to join us. It's not easy for us right now."
After saying that, Gong Shu turned and left. Wen Wen immediately returned to his room and started tidying up the mess he had made.
He who brings trouble upon himself must bear it.
...
Walking alone on the street, Gong Shu felt a little emotional. The Furong River branch had been too busy lately, and guiding Wen Wen was actually one of his more relaxed days.
As he had told Wen Wen earlier, the Hunter Association was under great pressure. As long as there was no ill intent towards the association, they didn't mind other superhumans becoming stronger.
Whether it were monsters or superhumans from hidden organizations, these troublesome fellows had been increasing in recent years.
Suddenly, Gong Shu stopped. There were no pedestrians on this road, all the shops had their doors and windows tightly shut, and the entire street was eerily silent. This was clearly abnormal.
A superhuman was nearby, affecting the ordinary people around them!
"Who's there!"
From a narrow alley, a man in a black, high-necked, long coat emerged and stood opposite Gong Shu.
"You are... L of Profane Blood. We've been looking for you, and I didn't expect you to appear on your own." A bad premonition surged in Gong Shu's heart.
"You're looking for me... I'm actually looking for you too. Your abilities are a bit troublesome and can affect my plans, so you should just die," Mr. L said expressionlessly.
"Are you so confident that you can take me down, rather than me capturing you?" Gong Shu asked Mr. L casually.
Mr. L shook his head and said, "Yes, I am very confident. You are an old-timer superhuman, and your combat experience is much richer than mine, but you haven't taken that final step. The outcome of our battle was decided the moment I appeared here."
Gong Shu threw down the cigarette butt in his hand, and a ball of flames engulfed it. "How did you know I would appear here?"
"I've already said enough..."
Mr. L stopped speaking, extended his hands forward, and made a strange gesture. His eyeballs rapidly enlarged, becoming much larger than goose eggs. Just as Gong Shu was about to unleash his flames, he found himself unable to move!
It wasn't a physical restraint, but more like a deterrence, the deterrence of a high-level predator towards a weak creature!
Then, Mr. L charged forward rapidly, his hand slicing across Gong Shu's chest. A long gash appeared on his chest, and blood splattered out!
Before he could even be shocked, Gong Shu lay powerlessly on the ground. Everything had happened too fast.
"Sorry, I attacked without finishing my words. Although you are still within the mastery realm, it's not easy for me to deal with your abilities when fully unleashed."
A black curved blade sprang out from Mr. L's arm and pointed towards Gong Shu's neck, about to strike. But at this moment, he saw Gong Shu's palm emit a scorching red light and shoot directly towards him, forming a huge pillar of fire!
As the pillar of fire dissipated, Mr. L, covered in black energy, had a grim expression. His clothes were scorched, and a blister had formed on his left cheek. Despite the surprise attack, he had still been hit.
"Damn it, he hasn't lost consciousness yet."
Mr. L growled, and the curved blade on his arm thrust towards Gong Shu's neck. This time, no matter what reaction Gong Shu made, he wouldn't be able to stop him!
Suddenly, a crisp bell sound rang out, and Mr. L's curved blade stopped at Gong Shu's neck.
Mr. L gritted his teeth and was about to press the blade down.
Then the bell sound rang out again, and became much more urgent.
"Didn't you tell me he was here? Why aren't you letting me strike now?" Mr. L stood up and said furiously.
However, there was no response.
"Since you don't want him to die, I'll spare him then."
Mr. L retracted his arm blade, his eyes returned to normal, and he disappeared into the night.
His blade was coated with a deadly poison. Even if Gong Shu didn't die today, he would eventually die from this poison.
...
Wen Wen was tidying up his room. Standing by the window, he suddenly saw a pillar of fire shooting up into the sky in the distance.
He froze for a moment, then quickly put on his clothes and rushed towards that direction.
Gong Shu had come to investigate him. The results of the investigation should have been very beneficial to Wen Wen. However, if Gong Shu were to be attacked and met with misfortune while returning after the investigation, Wen Wen might be suspected by the Hunter Association!
When Wen Wen arrived, he saw Gong Shu lying on the ground from a distance. He didn't rush over to check his injuries but first called the Hunter Association.
He was not sure if there were still enemies around. Rushing out might expose him to an attack. If the enemy could easily deal with Gong Shu, they could naturally deal with him easily as well.
Regarding the life and death of a demon hunter, the Hunter Association acted very quickly. In less than ten minutes, Lin Zhe Yuan got out of a car.
He first had more than a dozen assistants cordon off the vicinity, and then he immediately began to examine Gong Shu's injuries. To his relief, Gong Shu was not dead yet, but the area around his wound had already turned black, indicating that the weapon that injured Gong Shu was poisonous.
Wen Wen emerged from the shadows and stood behind Lin Zhe Yuan.
