This situation was fine if she had something to do during the day, but when she returned home at night with her chosen prey and faced the silent residence, a sense of boredom came over her. Hunter didn't want negative emotions to affect her hobby, so she had to find a way to make her home more lively. Of course she could share the house, but she was afraid that leaving early and returning late would disturb others' rest, and the noise of cooking harvest in the middle of the night was not acceptable to others. Especially since she is a royal ship girl, and her ingredients happen to be various kinds of seafood. After a period of hesitation, she saw an advertisement in a pet store and spent a lot of money to pick a Doberman that fits the identity of a "hunter". (According to the setting, it should actually be a companion) To be honest, she is not very good at raising pets. She would worry about which dog food to choose and get annoyed when the little guys excrete waste everywhere. But you know what, since the Doberman came into the family, she has never felt bored again. It is quite interesting to toss and turn the dog every day. Walk the dog in the morning, talk to the curious ship girls, then leave the dog to go out to work, go back to feed it after finishing, go out hunting again, and finally bring the spoils home to share with the dog. This regular life lasted for less than a year, and finally he was caught by dog dealers. No one expected that after going out to buy something early in the morning, he would come back to find his Doberman lying on the ground dying. The two adults muttered "It came so quickly" and quickly ran away.
She rushed the dog to the veterinary clinic without stopping, but was told that the dog's injuries were too severe to be saved. She could only stare in a daze at its belly that was still slightly rising and falling. Later, a person came in at some point, walked silently up to her, and asked for the dog that was still alive, saying that there was a certain chance of saving it, but it was not high. In a panic, she agreed, exchanged contact information with the other party, watched the business car disappear from her sight, and began a long wait. I thought it would take a long time, but unexpectedly, after just a few days, the other party sent back the lively Doberman, and chuckled and said it was very lucky. The hunter was naturally extremely grateful, but he refused to accept any kindness from the other party, and finally left quickly as if he was in a hurry. The two never communicated again during that period until more than a year later, when the other party suddenly sent a message without any beginning or end. [If something happens to me, please burn me clean. ] It was like a unilateral notice. No matter how she asked, there was no follow-up response, and when she called the police, it only showed that there was no such person. The hunter lived in fear for a long time, and almost forgot everything, until the disaster happened, when she vaguely realized something. Unfortunately, she suffered a sudden change and was powerless to save her beloved dog which was stained with mucus. She was exhausted and hid from place to place, trying to survive. After finally gaining enough power, she found that she was the only one left in the world. "You mean, the disaster was probably related to the person who rescued your pet?" The Hunter looked at the anxious Helena with her rose-red eyes and nodded, "... probably." "Then you still say she is your... benefactor?" "One thing at a time, she saved Doberman. I haven't been able to confirm that all this was caused by her, so she is a benefactor." [Helena] also realized that she was a little too hasty, and took a deep breath to calm down, but was annoyed by the slightly turbid smell. [Hunter] stopped and looked at her, "...You seem to be having a hard time holding it in." "A little bit. I know I shouldn't get angry, but sometimes I just can't help it, especially in such an unpleasant environment." "Well, then... do you need help?"
[Helena] was stunned, then she remembered, "Speaking of which, why don't you look like you're affected? Do you have any tips?" "Well, I guess so." The Hunter took out the bag and unscrewed the stopper. A foul smell wafted out. "Strong stimulation can help you stay awake." [Helena] took a sip unexpectedly, retched violently, and her eyes immediately turned red. The anger she suppressed rose and fell, and she couldn't tell whether it was of any use. [Hunter] decided to quit while he was ahead. After turning his head to look around, he walked towards the broken wall not far away, intending to rest there for a while. Before she could take out the universal lamp oil to clean the ground, Helena, who couldn't stand the smell, used her energy to force out a small pure area to save her nose from suffering. The [Hunter] thanked him, sat down on the ground casually against the wall, and turned up the brightness of the oil lamp between the two of them. The orange-red flames danced in the oil lamp, emitting a warm light that dispelled the darkness around it, making people feel relaxed and at ease. [Helena] felt comfortable for the first time in a long time. She didn't know if it was due to the environment or some other reason, but she even felt that the expressionless guy opposite her didn't seem so cold anymore. After a moment of distraction, she took out the small piece of metal again. It felt slightly cool, just like its owner's body temperature that remained unchanged throughout the seasons. "...Aren't you going to tell me?" [Helena] was startled by the sudden question and said, "...What?" The Hunter took off his gloves and patted them gently. His pale fingers were tinged with warmth by the warm light. "Talking more will help you stay sane." "...Actually there's not much to say. It's a story of chasing someone, right? I got what I wanted in the end, and the ending... was pretty good." "Your expression didn't look very happy when you said that." [Helena] subconsciously clenched the metal piece in her hand, and after a few breaths, she slowly removed the force and only gently rubbed the surface that felt very good. "Yeah... but what can I do?" She paused, revealing a sense of timidity for no reason. "After all, to her, everyone is better than me, everyone is... better than me." "So I can't cause her too much trouble. It's best... not to interfere in her affairs. What if I make a mistake..." Hunter thought for a moment after hearing this, "You seem to have changed?" "Hmm? Me?" Helena smiled, with a hint of sadness and helplessness, "How long have we been together? How do you know I've changed?" "...When we first met, apart from the influence of the environment, I could see that you were actually very strong. Now... you act like a little girl." "That's because when it comes to talking about emotional issues, everyone will change their attitude. Maybe you haven't experienced it yet." The Hunter shook his head and took out the sac again and tried to pass it over, "Smell it again." [Helena] frowned and quickly turned her head away from the disgusting gas bomb. She stopped holding her breath after the other party retracted it and asked casually, "What's next?" "...I'll keep looking." "Alas... I don't think this will work. What if she died before the disaster? Aren't you just wasting your time?" Even so, Hunter's faith remains firm, "I will keep going." "...Then I understand. I'm sorry. If that's the case, it's about time for me to leave." [Helena] stood up. [Hunter] did not try to persuade him to stay, even though he was the only one of his kind who could communicate with her.
She understood that what she was doing might not be meaningful, and there was no need to force others to stay and suffer with her. So she stood up as well, put on her gloves and pointed hat, nodded to Helena, and was about to say goodbye when she heard a vague voice coming from a very far distance. [Dear… Su… has… turned… blue… and is coming… hot…] The Hunter pursed his lips, swallowed what he was about to say, and asked, "...Did you hear that?" "Well, didn't you say you were the only one left here?" "As far as I know, that's true. For the past few years, all we've seen are monsters, without exception." "Then how—— [Dear...Su...Problem...Purification...Save you...Spicy——!!!] The sound became more and more deafening, and the content of the shouting became clearer. Coupled with the intermittent flashing energy rays in the distance, Helena frowned. She tried to swing out a vertical energy light blade, striking it straight towards the source of the sound in the distance. Soon, the sound turned and approached them rapidly. [Dear Susu! The blue-haired man with a problem in his brain! The Purifier is here to save you! ! !] [Helena] was stunned after hearing the whole sentence. Before she could sort out her thoughts, she rushed out first. Seeing this, [Hunter] caught up with the lantern. The two sides rushed towards each other and soon met halfway along the journey. [Helena] found out that she was a Purifier, and immediately raised her hand to blast the two loudspeakers in the air, and then she met the jumping big-eyed alien, "What do you mean? My sister is here too?!" "Hey! It's useless even if you call me sister. That's an antique that I spent a long time looking for!!" "Shut up! I'm asking you where is Susu!?" "Why are you so fierce? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come here to wade into the muddy water! Come on, come on! Are you satisfied?" [Helena] opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. It was obvious that she hadn't expected things to turn out like this. The Purifier was easy to talk to. Seeing the other party's dazed look, he lowered himself from the Great Shark's height and greeted the Hunter who was wearing a hat. "Hi~ Nice to meet you, I'm the Purifier? The super smart genius Siren ship, you are the Hunter, right?" "...Well, nice to meet you." [Helena] finally came to her senses and interrupted the conversation, asking, "Where is she? Where is she now? Didn't you know where to pick her up before you came?" "Ah? Of course I don't know. It took me a long time to find this place. If I had waited for her to tell me before leaving, you would have degenerated into a monkey by then!" "What the hell are you talking about!?" "You have a problem with your brain! And you don't want to go back, so Su Su came to find you!" "I clearly——" "You're just screwed up in the head—!" Chapter 947 Eat Him (Supplement)
"Hiss... huh—— "Cough...cough cough cough..." Looking at the ignorant and petite woman shrinking behind Su Xin with grievance, the shop owner smiled without any principles and took another puff of cigarette. Su Xin lowered her eyes and glanced at the hand that was clutching her clothes, pursed her lips, "...Don't bully her, boss." "Huh? Haha, we acted like we weren't familiar with each other a few days ago, but how come you're speaking up for me now?" "...We're roommates after all." "Oh, then I can be your real mother, I give you food and shelter, but I never see you speak up for me." After listening to this, Su Xin paused and wanted to ask the other party if he knew who his biological mother was, but considering that it might make the other party angry or suspicious, she finally gave up the idea. The shop owner had no one to talk back to, so he shook his head regretfully and flicked his cigarette butt to add some spice to the clean floor. Anyway, she is not the one who cleans the house, and she has already provided food and shelter, so she has to be put to good use, right? Su Xin had no complaints. Living under someone else's roof always required corresponding labor. Moreover, there was someone hiding behind her, and the other person's share was also counted on her. After the threatening conversation, the three of them spent the next two days in peace and everything was normal. However, the number of times Su Xin saw tentacles increased significantly at the boss's and the tenant's houses on the second floor. She had gotten through the crisis before by keeping a normal mind, but she still couldn't figure out why it was a crisis. Of course, the shop owner had no obligation to explain. Su Xin could only guess that this might be some kind of rule. After all, in an environment where everyone was trying to be more human, tentacles might be a taboo. Although it sounds ridiculous, it does not rule out this possibility. She just has no way to verify it. Su Xin gently took her hands off her clothes and turned to get the broom and dustpan. The shop owner was very disdainful of her hardworking attitude. "Being honest is not a virtue. You work so hard and never complain, but in the end, you die without knowing how." There was definitely something behind the words, but the little commander pretended not to hear it. With a wooden face, he held the broom and swept the floor carefully. The shop owner lost interest, threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot, then turned his head to look at the well-behaved woman, "...Have you registered her information?" "...What?" "ID card, ID card, have you registered it?" "No." "Shouting, you did a smart thing." The shop owner didn't say why, but turned and went upstairs, "Check the shop. If someone comes to stay, just say it's full. If it's someone else... please come in." Su Xin swept the cigarette butts clean and emptied the overflowing ashtray on the counter. Then she ran to the toilet to wash her hands and sat behind the counter. Seeing this, the petite woman came over obediently, without saying a word, and stood quietly behind her, looking very safe. Su Xin knew that the other person was growing up every day, because on the first day they came here, he couldn't even change the TV channel, but now he can change his mood according to the plot of the cartoon. The growth rate of this kind of intelligence is obviously different from that of humans, but it is very common in the general cognition here.
Based on the learning speed, Su Xin estimated that the other party would be able to communicate like a normal person in a few days. "...You can come up with a name for yourself then." The petite woman tilted her head, "Um... um... OK...?" I thought the shop owner was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that after just half an hour of sitting behind the counter, a customer came to me. "Hey, do you have a room?" Su Xin looked up. He was wearing a mask, simple clothes, and a hat. Almost everything that could be covered was covered.
