Chapter 255 Memories
Chapter 255 Memories
Twenty years later..
...
The city's skyline was dyed scarlet by the blood moon.
On the platform of a tall building, a group of people in black uniforms were chasing a nimble woman.
"Kafka! You have no way out today!" a man shouted, his eyes full of anger and hatred.
"You've killed so many people in the association. Today is the time to hunt you down!" another man echoed, his hand tightly gripping the weapon, ready to attack at any time.
"Your life ends here!" The third man stared at Kafka coldly, his voice revealing an unquestionable determination.
Kafka stood at the edge of the platform, her two guns ready, her eyes firm and calm, as if she had anticipated all this.
"Oh? I don't think you can threaten me." Kafka said lightly, her tone revealing confidence and calmness.
"Not running anymore? Are you ready to die?" a man asked with a sneer, his eyes revealing provocation and ridicule.
"Yeah... I'm ready to die... but... you are the protagonists~" Kafka chewed the bubble gum in her mouth, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
After she blew out a bubble, it suddenly exploded, and the sound echoed on the empty platform. The sound seemed to foreshadow what was about to happen, making everyone present feel a little uneasy.
Suddenly, the platform above the group of people collapsed, and a man landed, holding a sword in his hand and pointing it at the people who were chasing Kafka.
"You...it's you!" a man shouted in horror, his face turning extremely pale.
"What's wrong with me? Am I scary?" Lin Yu spread his hands innocently, with a cynical smile on his face.
"Go ahead! There are only two of them. Even an S-level hunter can't take down so many of us!" The leader shouted to the people behind him, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.
"Oh? What a coincidence, the two of us are S-level hunters..." As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared behind the leader, the sword in his hand had already pierced his chest. The leader's eyes widened, his body swayed in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The group of people at the rear no longer had the will to fight when they saw this scene. They turned around and ran, but it was too late.
After seeing them running away, Lin Yu sighed and said, "I leave it to you. It's boring." Lin Yu said, then bypassed Kafka and jumped towards the building on the other side.
"Okay~ But could you not appear so handsome every time? Aren't you afraid that I will fall in love with you?" Kafka shouted with a smile, her eyes revealing a teasing and joking look.
"Come on! I have never gained any benefit from your word magic!" Lin Yu shouted in the building opposite, then left.
"Huh~ Isn't it just you who stole it?"
"I found out...Is it the bad guy who complains first?"
"What a bad guy~" Kafka whispered, then looked at the group of people who were fleeing, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, and then a purple spider web appeared in front of her, the web flickering with a dim light, as if it contained some powerful power.
Then, tiny purple spiders began to grow out of the spider web and crawled towards the group of people.
Looking around, there are at least tens of thousands of them!
"Little guys, eat slowly." Kafka said softly, with a hint of teasing and cruelty in her voice.
They looked back at Kafka, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
"No...don't come over here!" one man shouted in horror. He tried to retreat, but it was too late.
The purple spider web quickly spread out, covering them all. They struggled, trying to break free from the web, but the web was like a giant mouth that swallowed them all in one gulp.
Kafka felt a sense of pleasure as she watched them being devoured by the spider.
"Mission accomplished~" Kafka said, then put on a black coat and rushed in the direction Lin Yu left.
...
Twenty years of time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Lin Yu sat on the edge of the platform on the building, his legs dangling in the air, looking up at the blood moon, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
If you are not careful, you will fall down.
"It's been twenty years... I have lived in this memory for twenty years..." He muttered to himself, with a hint of emotion and fatigue in his voice.
There was a hint of deep reminiscence in Lin Yu's eyes.
He thought of those days, those days of hardship and danger,
"It's so long..." Lin Yu looked up at the blood moon in the sky, as if it was telling his thoughts.
"Ever since Kafka joined the Demon Hunters that day, there have been commissions every day, all for hunting demons." Lin Yu began to recall the past days, with a hint of firmness and persistence in his tone.
"It wasn't long before we became a little famous."
"Then I was noticed by the mayor and was taken in for a talk..." Lin Yu continued to recall, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was recalling that unpleasant experience.
"Unfortunately, I saw through the mayor's disguise. His true form is a demon."
"No.. He can transform into a demon and turn back into a human again."
"When I saw that, I understood that it was a devil's 'follower', possessing the devil's abilities while maintaining human form."
"Fortunately, Kafka's word magic amplified the fear in the mayor's heart, and we killed him on the spot."
"But not long after that, we were offered a bounty. I don't know who offered it."
"We had no choice but to flee the town."
"Day after day, twenty years passed. We changed our appearance, disguised ourselves, traveled through villages and towns big and small, and rested in the wild. Finally, we escaped to this city." Lin Yu continued to recall, his eyes revealing a hint of vicissitudes and fatigue.
"Some special things happened during the journey, which gradually warmed up our feelings, but Kafka didn't seem to have that intention, so I didn't have that idea either." There was a hint of regret and loss in Lin Yu's voice. He knew that the relationship between them was not what he expected.
We completed all the commissions, big and small, and our rank has reached S-level."
"But that's just a code name. What's the difference between S-level and C-level?" Lin Yu's voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm and self-mockery.
"A tiny insect can kill an elephant."
"So every time we are chased, we will go all out."
"But later we realized that they were not really hunting us down for so-called revenge..."
"Just for the high reward."
