When I was studying at New York University, I just spent every every minute to earn my living, I used to work in the night department of the New York Library. At 8 o'clock pm I came to the library, if special readers visit, I was responsible for receiving them, if not, to organize the books. Generally after twelve o'clock there is nothing, lying on the sofa until dawn, and other colleagues come, I will go back to school.
The New York Library is the largest library in the world with tens of millions of books and countless audio-visual materials. The whole library is more beautifully decorated than the palace. In the huge library, only I am alone at night. Fortunately, there are countless books accompanied me, and I am not lonely. Although I had the responsibility to receive special readers, I had not worked for two months until one night in late July, when I met a wonderful reader.
"tinkle!"The bell rang on the side door of the library, I opened the monitor, the camera inside is a young woman, she is very beautiful, light golden hair, a pair of big and charming blue eyes, white skin, not tall, but very slim, like a white Persian cat. The only strange thing is that she wore the dress of a hundred years ago, as if she had just come out of a tunnel of history.
I opened the door, smiled and said, " Drama actor?”
"No, this is my favorite clothes? Isn't it good?"She spoke gentle London English and she was an English woman.
"It's very beautiful, but at least a hundred years behind the date.”
"Thank you for your advice.”
"Then please provide your identification.lady.”
Although the New York Library is a public library, people who borrow and read must provide identification. the proof is simple, as long as you have a fixed address in New York, utility bills, letters, and so on.
The young lady hesitated a little, then took a letter from her pocket, and I looked at, " Miss Victoria... sorry, you can't get into the library.”
"why?"Her cat green eyes stared at me, with an irresistible charm.
"The postmark on this letter was 1902, at least 100 years ago. According to the rules, you must provide a letter certificate for the last six months to enter the library. Did you take the wrong letter and bring your great-great-grandmother's stuff?”
"Well, I understand. I'll come over tomorrow.”
Victoria turned and left the library. I stared at the beautiful back. She wore the clothes of a hundred years ago, and the letter was also a hundred years ago. Is it a ghost?
I couldn't help shivering.
The next day I asked my colleagues in the library, was there any ghosts like this? They shook their heads together, saying they had never heard of them. I was confused in my heart, I bought a Guanyin Bodhisattva talisman in Chinatown, in case there is a ghost can also protect themselves. Just do not know that the foreign ghost is not afraid of guanyin.
The next night, Victoria came back again. But this time she wore a stylish women's dress —— with a shadow on the ground, not a ghost, not a vampire.
I rest assured, probably yesterday she was bored, wearing great-great-grandmother's clothes to nonsense. She handed me a bill. I asked her to sign the register and allowed her to enter the library. But Victoria circled around the library and returned and asked me, " Sorry, Mr.Sheng... Your last name is very strange. I can't read it. Chinese? What about your braids?”
This girl has a sense of humor, I replied: " Just like your beautiful and outdated clothes, a hundred years ago, I cut my pigtails. Can I help you with anything? Miss Victoria.”
"This one, which I want to ask, where is the newspaper? I want to go through all the newspapers for nearly a hundred years. Why is there no newspaper column in the library now?”
I was stunned, this girl has not been to the library for a hundred years, because the New York library has long been digitized, all the newspapers are input into the information database, as long as you can view through the computer. So I took Victoria to a computer, she stared at the computer screen, motionless, I asked, " What's wrong?”
She turned around, puzzled, her beautiful green eyes full of confusion, and asked me, " What is this glowing little light screen?”
"Look at the newspaper!”
I typed in a date and opened a recent copy of the New York Times. She looked surprised and sighed, " It's amazing. How did you do it? Is it really a storage magic?”
"Ha ha, what magic?It is a game that three years old children can also use. I teach you! First, hold the mouse.”
Victoria hesitated to hold the "little mouse" with a tail, and then I held her little hand and taught her to use the computer. She has a girlish light fragrance, called the heart ripples. I was myself and taught her the computer. Victoria was so clever that she learned to read newspapers for nearly a hundred years. Strangely, she doesn't read the news about science, education, culture and health, only the advertisements. Even so, the amount accumulated over a hundred years is quite staggering, and Victoria is still searching when I fall asleep on the couch. The next morning, it was hard to find it.
In the evening, Victoria arrived on time and continued to check the newspaper, which had been running for a week. From her speech and appearance, I speculate that she was a member of the British royal family, secretly studying in New York, and studying in advertising, but somehow, secretly came to read the newspaper every night. I was gradually fascinated by her, and I wanted to invite her to go out to have dinner together, but the shyness of the Chinese people, let me can not open a mouth.
That night, Victoria appeared early in the morning, but tonight she was on alert and walked nervously around.
"what's up?”
"I feel like someone is following me.”
I laughed: " Don't worry, the library guard is very good, there will be no bad guy come over.”
Victoria approached the library, and just as I was about to close, a group of shadows came in and rushed at Victoria.
Victoria raised her hands, her palms emitting a strange blue light, spread like a cane, guard over her side. Whenever the dark shadow screamed at Victoria, the blue light rose to its resistance, and the two sides collided violently, bursting with dazzling white.
I was dumbfounded, this is "the Night Watch", or "The Wonderful Night in the Museum", what happened when I met! But there is no doubt that Victoria is gradually unable to stop the shadow's attack. The shadow became more and more powerful, while Victoria's blue light faded like a flashlight that had exhausted its battery. Suddenly, a dark whirlwind ran across Victoria's shoulders, and with a low groan, a bright red line of blood rose from her bare white skin, and Victoria knelt down in pain. I can't stay any longer. How can I get my favorite woman hurt?
bang! Suddenly there was a shot, particularly loud in the empty hall. The shadow body a shock, received a blow, staggered flight. Then there were several more shots, and the dark image staggered and fell to the ground, motionless.
Relieved, I collected the pistol and stepped forward to pick Victoria up. In the chaotic city of New York, no guns is very dangerous, so the second year in the United States, I bought a six-shot revolver, and participated in the school shooting club activities, at least has the level of an Olympian, aiming at the moving target is my best thing.
"Are you all right?”
Victoria shook her head. I saw her pale as if she were hurt. She could not stand steadily, so I simply picked up the petite woman, placed it on the sofa, and then went back to check the dark shadow.
With a black, fluffy shadow lying on the ground, I stretched out my feet and kicked it carefully, motionless, dead. I turned the shadow over with my foot. It was an owl with a fangty mouth, and Victoria's blood still on his claws. How did it attack Victoria?
Then something surprised me, the owl gradually turned into a human form. Initially, I thought I was dazzled, and the owl had become a short, wrinkled old man in a black coat. I was surprised to ha big mouth, for a long time can not close.
What about Victoria, the owl, and the mysterious old man?
And I took the dead man up to Victoria. After resting for a while and looking better, I asked, " What's going on?”
Victoria stared at my eyes as if to penetrate into my heart, and sighed after a moment, " Well, I can only trust you at present, and you are the only one who can help me. Actually, I'm a demon hunter.”
Victoria Catkin told me her story. In this world, it is not as simple as we think, besides human beings, there is another evil species, that is the demon clan. Legend has it that the demon clan is sealed in hell by the god, but there are still some powerful demons waiting to sneak into the world to do evil. So the agent of god in the world organized a group of heroes to hunt for demons, they are demon hunters.
Victoria was a descendant of the demon hunter, born more than a hundred years ago. The hunting association gets a surprising news, the demons will build a tower on the earth, open the link between hell and the world. The prey organization after many tracing, heavy losses, finally determined that the demons will blend into the human beings, with the identity of the human secret construction tower, is expected to take 100 years to open the door of hell. At that time, the hunting association was declining, and there was no guarantee that the organization would exist a hundred years later, so Victoria was voluntarily sealed in the shackles of time, and then unsealed a hundred years later, to find the sky tower built by the demons. The Victoria I met that day, she had just come to life. Just lost more than a hundred years of information, her first thought is to go to the library to look for information.
I took a breath and looked back at the abomination of the old man: " This is the demon? What about your demon-hunting association?”
Victoria replied with a wry smile, " It has died out. I tried to find the organization through the secret contact information of the hunting association, but not only failed to find it, I attracted the demons. Fortunately, he is just a weak low demon, and your help, otherwise the last glimmer of human hope will be shattered.”
Victoria suddenly took my hand and begged, " Mr.Sheng, now the future fate of mankind is in your hands and my hands. I ask you, for the world, please work with me to save mankind!”
If in ordinary times, to me and only in the magic novels to duel, early scared away, but in the face of lovely Victoria, do not know where the courage, clenched her little hand vowed: " rest assured, as long as I live a day, I will defend you to death!”
Victoria had bright eyes and cried happily, " Great, I knew you were a man.”
I suddenly asked again, " But I have no experience in dealing with demons, how can I destroy them?”
Victoria said, " You don't have to worry about this. Life and death are the rule of the world, even the demons can not resist, so you can shoot the demons with ordinary bullets, just like the one you just killed. The general demon body is stronger than the human, so to use more damage. But at present, only the two of us, temporarily do not provoke the demons, to avoid frontal fighting, loss of strength, our main task is to find the demons in the world to build the tower!”
"The Tower, you have been talking. How is this tower, can summon the devil from hell?"I asked, suspiciously.
Victoria pondered for a moment and said, " I believe you have heard that in ancient times, man once built a tower to the sky, that is, the tower, the passage between hell and earth. Because hell and earth are two different worlds, cannot enter directly, only a few demons can rely on powerful magic penetration, the general demons have to rely on the sky tower open channel to invade the world. When the towering tower is built, the magic formation above can be launched to open the passage. The world's first access tower was destroyed before it was completed. After that, the demons constantly sneaked into the world, trying to build a powerful empire, using infinite manpower to build again. Unfortunately, because of many reasons such as technology, coupled with the hunting association, no demon can succeed.but......"
After a pause, she said, " After entering the eighteenth century, the monster of capitalism began to be born. A powerful economic power alone can also gain great power to build the sky tower. So some smart demons change their methods. They hide their power and pretend to be ordinary people. Because the average demon person is already much smarter and more cunning than the average person, they are more likely to succeed. Initially, they planned to build it at the site of the Tongtian Tower, but the land was barren and there was no way to support huge manpower. So they had to look for other magic places, and they finally set their sights on New York. There is not only a great source of magic, but also a soil for ambition.”
I suddenly understood and said, " So you only read the New York Times advertising column, because once a new building is built, there will be advertisements.”
Victoria nodded and said, " Yes, now I have seen the paper for 1964.”
I quickly asked: " So, you found the building is the devil mixed into the world built?”
Victoria smiled bitterly: " I have no clue. Unexpectedly, for more than a hundred years, New York has built so many tall buildings, I have nowhere to tell, unless I can see the design of the building, to know whether there is a magic array! But the design diagram, can I see it?”
I was immediately silent. The designs of these buildings in New York were all confidential, especially in recent years for the need of anti-terrorism. With Victoria, there is no way to get the design.
Deull immediately diffuse in our side, suddenly my eyes a bright, smile: " I have an idea!”
Victoria grabbed me by the shoulder and asked, " What idea? Tell me!”
I said, " Are you not saying that a certain building in New York could be built by a certain demon?”
Victoria nodded and looked at me, and I continued: " If the demons build the buildings, it is unlikely, because the ultimate control is in the hands of the investors. Therefore, I think it is more likely to mix into investors, and you say that the devil is smarter than ordinary people, must be faster than ordinary people, such people are a minority, so as long as check the list of investors, look at their resume, you can see the flaws.”
Victoria laughed and said, " Good idea, you are great!”
With that, he kissed me in the face. As an Asian, I am not used to American etiquette and flushed.
Let's do it. This is the New York library with plenty of materials. We make a list of all the skyscraper investors in New York and analyze them one by one. When we see someone, we feel more and more suspicious.
"He started from scratch, and built his business empire at thirty. If he changed his fortune for the current dollars, it was almost several times that of Bill Gates. Too fast, it is not a person!"I said, pointing to one investor.
Victoria looked at her and said, " It's very unusual indeed, but I see a different thing, look!”
Pointing to her resume, she said, " Every penny he makes gets dirty pus, but this man is a devout religious person who goes to church every week, as if trying to prove to people that he believes in God!only if......"
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
Victoria and I smiled: " Because he is a demon, he has to pretend.”
Haha, we finally found a object of suspicion. This investor is the oil tycoon Rockefeller, and the skyscraper he built, is the Rockefeller Center!
I asked, " When will we go over to spy on it?”
Victoria pondered, " Too hasty to get by. You go back first and I will come to you.”
The next day at noon to have a meal, suddenly a classmate greeted me: " Sheng, there is a beauty to find you!”
I looked back and it was Victoria, dressed in a hot short sleeve and miniskirt, a standard fashion girl, looking at me with a smile. She is already beautiful, but now at New York University, where young people gather. She waved to me, and I asked, " Why did you come out during the day? Isn't it always the night before?”
"Because I used to be a demon! So I only come out at night. Meet you to become an angel, come out during the day!whee!"Victoria joked.
I shook my head and asked, " Are we going to Rockefeller Center right now?”
Victoria nodded and said, " In the midst of the day, we went to spy.”
Rockefeller Center is between Fifth and Seventh Avenue, with the main building seventy stories high and a bird's eye view of Manhattan. Victoria and I came together, not so much as a scout as a young couple traveling. We looked from the top of the building, I do not know how Victoria found the magic formation of the magic tower, but see her with a telescope and compass, looking everywhere, the anxiety on her face, until the evening, nothing. She sat down in her chair, depressed.
I touched her head to comfort: " Vicky (Victoria's nickname), don't worry, anyway, we have plenty of time, as long as careful, avoid the sight of the demons, sooner or later we will find the tower!”
Victoria turned his head, his eyes were red, and he almost cried, " No, time waits for no one. By June 6 this year, if we cannot find the tower, the door of hell will be opened.”
I was startled, estimate up, not a few days. My heart turned and I said, " Let't we go to the roof and see Manhattan. It might give you any inspiration.”
Victoria nodded, but she had no idea and followed me. On the top of the main building, standing on the viewing platform, this is a two-meter-high glass safety wall with a wide view. The night of New York is brightly lit and bustling like a dream. Suddenly, Victoria pointed to a large clearing in front and asked, " What is it there? It seems like there was a building before, right?”
When I looked at it, I could not help feeling a feeling of vicissitudes. " It is the ruins of the Twin Towers in New York. A few years ago, it was knocked down by a group of terrorists. Now a new skyscraper freedom tower is expected to be built here.”
"Twin Towers......." Victoria murmured the words, body trembling, almost unstable, she took my hand, great strength, said, " Go, let's go to the Twin Towers!”
We sped down to the Rockefeller Center and headed to the site of the Twin Towers. I asked, " Vicky, did you find anything wrong? Are the twin towers the heavenly towers that open the door of hell?”
Victoria said no word, until the ruins of the Twin Towers, hurriedly opened the door, and I hurried over. I dropped fifty dollars behind me and followed her in a panic. When she reached the ruins, Victoria stared at the huge remains of the steel giant, as if he had found a new continent, and then his eyes dimmed, and he squatted on the ground, covering her face.
I saw from Victoria's expression that there was the sky tower of the demons, but why did Victoria look sad instead? I was wondering, suddenly there was movement behind, I thought it was the police, turned around but saw an old woman wearing a black robe, like a witch, sharp eyes, staring at me, and questioned: " Yi, human. How are you with the demons? Look at your eyes, and was not confused by her. Hurry away from her!”
"Don't take her word, she's provoking us. This is the usual trick of the demons."Victoria was awake, and surprised at the first witch, she soon composed herself under the protection of my pistol.
The witch stared at Victoria, her eyes grew fierce, and she said coldly, " Long time no see, almost a hundred years!”
Victoria was stunned and recognized him and said, " It was you, one of the men who sealed me. One hundred years away, but never think you are still alive.”
The witch laughed: " Now you can be the only demon living on earth, all the rest are we removed. But in case of prevention, we found the sky tower a long time ago, guarding here, waiting for you to trap yourself. Ha ha, you must be very disappointed! The hard work out of the tower, actually has collapsed, people are not as good as the day.”
"Why don't we ever have a chance? Is this the life of our family?"Victoria murmured to himself.
I stared at her and asked, " What, you, a real demon?”
Then Victoria showed a bitter smile: " Yes, I am the devil. The been sealed for more than a hundred years. I am the key to the door of hell. Everything I said before, is lying to you!”
My heart suddenly fell into the ice cellar inside, surprised and angry, the original I like the woman, has been cheating me.
Victoria speaks softly, compared with the world, the hell is a very bad environment, so the demons have been trying to rush out of the hell to the earth. Due to the limitation of many factors, only a small number of higher demons can come to the world with their own strength, they try to open the door of hell. But under the encirclement and suppression of the demon-hunting association, the demons were repeatedly defeated. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the demons changed their tactics. They sent higher demons to secretly build the tower. However, the responsibility of opening the door of hell is not borne by these demons, but called another group of demons execution. After this divided into two missions, the chance of being caught by the hunting association is much reduced.
Victoria is one of the demons who open the gates of hell, the keys. When she came to the world, she exhausted almost all her strength and became weak, and was immediately targeted by the hunting association and sealed for more than a hundred years. When she woke up, she found that the time to open the door of hell was getting closer and closer, but there was no clue where the sky Tower was. Because before the responsible for the connection with her demons, in the long years, died in the battle of the hunting association. In desperation, Victoria can only rely on their own intelligence, looking for the sky tower. The sky is not as good as the man, found the sky tower is the World Trade Tower, but has been destroyed in the human war, give Victoria a blow.
The hunter laughed and said, " This is the most magical year on earth. Only this year will you have the chance to open the door to hell with the sky Tower. But it is not several days before the date of the magic climax, and the sky tower has collapsed, you are finished. The next opportunity, will not wait until a hundred years later!”
Victoria said coldly, " Don't forget, I am a god, my life is more than 1600 years, this year I just turned 200 years!”
The hunter said, " Do you think I will let you live again?”
With that, the hunter opened his robe, and tied two hundred huge revolvers to his body wrapped under it. The hunter drew the pistol and aimed the muzzle at Victoria, with a caliber of 30 millimeters, stronger than an anti-equipment rifle!
The hunter said: " These two guns contain silver bullets —— your enemy!”
Victoria shrank back, and the hunter shouted, " Die! The devil!”
Although she was old, nearly over 120 years old, she was very vigorous, like Jet Li, jumping up and opened fire at Victoria.
Thud! Two pistols made a loud blast, and a round of blue balls of light emerged from the muzzle, flying fast at Victoria.
Victoria flexibly from the bullet, now she has recovered the prototype, her eyes gradually become red, forehead out a horn —— this horn is very strange, the color is golden, like a unicorn. At the same time, the sharp tail also spread from under the miniskirt, although the appearance is still beautiful, but more than a demon different.
The hunter stopped and said: " It is the most advanced golden horn of the demon clan, no wonder the strength is extraordinary. You are in the demon clan status is not low!”
Victoria said, " Yes, I am a princess of the Protoss. I was born to bring victory to the Protoss! By death!ruffian!(Victoria has victory in Latin)"
Victoria took the attack, unarmed, but her front hands grew long sharp nails, which were her weapon. Victoria, like a mad witch, uses a fierce nine Yin white bone claws and the hunter. She knew that the hunter's pistol was so powerful, so she tried to fight close to hand so that the hunter could not use the pistol.
But after all, the hunter is an old monster who has lived for more than a hundred years. Unhurried, she pulled out a sharp silver dagger from her waist, in the moonlight, like silver lightning, in her hand, waving very fierce. Victoria's nails just came into contact with the dagger, like tofu had to be cut off, forced Victoria had to bundle his hands, can only rely on the extraordinary physical strength and speed of the demons, barely fight with the demon hunters.
The hunter was secretly worried, she was very old and not good at attrition, and to fight like this, I am afraid it will not take a few minutes to fight. At this time the hunter suddenly quickly retreated, Victoria a leng, without thinking to chase down. The hunter pulled Victoria a little away, immediately pulled out his pistol and shot him.
"bang!"Victoria trembled and revealed a great hollow in her abdomen. Her face showed an indescribable painful expression, suddenly looked up to the sky crazy howling, the magic clan vitality beyond ordinary people play a role, the abdomen quickly healed.
The hunter sneer way: " as expected so, higher demon clan is extraordinary, so fatal injury, incredibly no problem, it seems that your key is not here, should be on the golden horn!”
Victoria shook his head and suddenly shed a blue glow to the demon hunter.
The hunter looked grave, dropped the bullet pistol, and rushed up with a dagger. Two people like two rhinos collided together, issued a huge sound, and then tightly stalemate together, the face of the bean big sweat, hit inseparable.
The hunter became more and more anxious, and in the end it became a war of attrition. She suddenly looked up and saw me, and shouted to me: " Human, you should already know that she is a demon! Quick, quick, hit her horn with a gun, hit, you are the hero to save mankind.”
Victoria bit her lip and stubbornly refused to ask me for help.
I slowly lifted the pistol and aimed at her.
"bang!"With a loud bang, Victoria felt her face hot, she opened her eyes, stunned to find a mass of blood from the hunter chest, bigger and bigger, and then fell to the ground.
Victoria got up and saw the smoke curling in my muzzle, drinking in surprise, " You... you know I am your enemy, why save me!”
"Whether you are a man or a devil, I love you!”
I looked at Victoria, shaking, rather moving, and eating, " No..., we...!”
"I just want to ask you, are you lying to me?”
Victoria shook his head and said, " I definitely don't have that.”
I picked Victoria up and hugged her and said, " Give up. You can no longer fulfill your mission, so stay on earth, be a common person, and be with me forever.”
Victoria smiled a shy smile, particularly beautiful on the charming face.
Three days after the battle of the ruins of the Twin Towers, my little devil appeared in my room, intending to go to Tokyo with me to avoid the wind, in case the hunter society would come out to trouble us.
The little devil was still dressed up very angry, smiling and packing up with me. I asked: " Why, Rockefeller Center is not the tower, but the tower? I don't understand.”
Because has cut off the idea of letting the demons invade the world, Victoria casually told me: " very simple, I believe you played games when you were a child, in the water, faster and faster, the water will form a funnel shaped vortex, power to a certain extent, and even can see the bottom. Similarly, to open the door of hell with the sky tower is to stir the magnetic force of the earth. But if two hands stir together, the power is definitely greater than one hand. And the farther the distance between the two hands apart, the greater the force is. So when I saw the Towers, I knew it must be here, not Rockefeller Center.”
I nodded, and finally understood. Do not know is which demon, secretly built such a strange building, but the person is not as good as heaven, demon is the same, actually opened the door a few days before the hell, called a group of terrorists to hit.
We took a plane to Tokyo, Japan, Victoria suddenly stared at the Tokyo Tower in front of him and shouted, " Why, how is the Eiffel Tower in Paris here?”
I glanced at it and said, " Oh, this is not the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but the Tokyo Tower, which was built in imitation of the Eiffel Tower in 1957, just with the Eiffel Tower at both ends of the earth.”
Victoria's face was stunned and she remained silent and preoccupied. When we boarded the Tokyo Tower, she stared at the ground and suddenly asked me, " Sheng, if your world was destroyed by me, would you hate me?”
I laughed and said, " If your world was destroyed by me, would you hate me?”
Victoria shook his head and smiled, and then the bird hugged me and murmured, " Even if the world is destroyed, I will protect you.”
Soon I arrived at the top of the Tokyo Tower, and just as soon as I turned around, Victoria disappeared, and I could never find her again.
Then half a day later, the Tokyo Tower in Japan and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, broke through the clouds and opened the door to hell.
It turned out that these two towers are also the sky tower, the original design of the Eiffel Tower, is the demon clan. At first, the tower was built in the magical New York, but finally in Paris, resulting in the lack of magic and no effect. One hundred years later, it was unexpected that human beings cleverly built the Tokyo Tower, two iron towers, just to make up for the lack of magic. Although the two places are far apart, the magic is more powerful.
Unlike what I imagined, the gate of hell is not a big hole in the air, it is —— that they appear all over the world. The first demon vanguard appeared at the site of the Tongtian Tower, now raging Iraq. Although the number of this demon team is not many, but it is composed of the most powerful, the most intelligent demons, each demon can fight almost a thousand people at the same time.
However, the premise of the demons must be human only use cold weapons, the appearance of the beginning of the fire in Iraq and local guerrillas into fear. The image of the demons with pointed horns and long tails was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Many soldiers were so scared that they immediately threw down their guns and fled, and some knelt on the ground to pray for god to send angels to destroy them. More soldiers, on the other hand, follow their human instinct for fear. As a result, under the attack of bullets, grenades, artillery, anti-tank missiles, heavy cannon, cloud bombs, this elite demon vanguard was destroyed in less than half an hour. In the end, the Americans and the guerrillas found that each other were standing in the same trench.
The hunting association announced the government of the world, claiming that the demons from hell are about to form an army to attack mankind, their purpose is to destroy mankind and rule the earth. The demon teams let the government believe the fact that in the face of the pressure of the common enemy, the world human united for the first time to fight against the invasion of the demons.
Two days after the door of Hell opened, the main force of the demons appeared in the Bermuda Triangle. Once the US military confirmed the reconnaissance, without hesitation used up to 10 million tons of hydrogen bombs. The more than 200,000 army, known as the most powerful demon army in history, was destroyed by a hydrogen bomb in less than a thousandth of a second.
In the spirit of eradication, in order to prevent the demons from invading the world again, the allied forces began to counterattack the hell. Although the demons are physical and intellectual far better than human, but the demons with a machete, even if again strong, also can not beat a group of soldiers with modern weapons; although the demons have super magic, a forbidden spell can destroy a city, but in front of the mass production of nuclear bombs are all slag. In addition, the opponent is not human, and the army has no moral constraints at all, so the cluster bombs, white phosphorus bombs, gas bombs and other prohibited weapons are competing to be used. Compared with the demons, humans are more like demons at the moment. So in less than half a month, the human army went deep into the hinterland of hell, and in the TV news, countless demon cities were destroyed, forcing the demon people had to surrender. The war between humans and demons ended in this inexplicable way.
I was studying at New York University and a librarian in the evening. I missed Victoria. I knew she opened the door to hell, but I didn't blame her at all. Until late one night, I waited for Victoria in the library. Although she clothes bright clothes, but look rather haggard, with two red eyes, the body trembled slightly, like a frightened kitten, she looked up at me and asked: " I know, we god is stronger than human, smarter than human, before you have ten hunters, to deal with us a, but why this time we form an unprecedented army or lost? And being back to surrender? I don't understand, there are so many books here, can we find the answer?”
"If you demons had invaded a hundred years ago, we humans would have resisted very hard and failed miserably. If you had invaded two hundred years ago, we would be conquered by you in a month. But now you have come to earth for pure pain."Then I took out a badge pinned to the chest, the silver surface of the badge has been black, apparently has been worn for many years.
Victoria's eyes were wide open and she stared at me. " You were a demon hunter? You've been calculating me?”
I said lightly: " To be precise, from beginning to end is the same bureau, more than 400 years ago has begun to decorate.”
1855 was a devastating year for the Hunting Association, in which more than 200 members of the association died in the struggle, while the acceptance of new members was quite difficult. The reason is simple, because now into the society of technology, few people will believe that there are demons in the world. In order to ensure the inheritance, the hunting association is mostly a mentoring system and a family practice system, neither of which can cultivate too many talents. The elders of the association sadly estimated that in another fifty years the association would perish itself. The association held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the future. It was proposed to tell the government about the power of the country to deal with the demons. But instead of failing, it was regarded by the government as a cult and cracked down on.
At this time, a genius, there is a genius of Pierre, it is better to let the devil invade the world, and then the human counterattack in the past, once and for all. He inquired about history, in the 10th century, an average of ten people to defeat a demon. But in the 20th century, the number of people has been reduced to five because of modern weapons such as guns and explosives. He boldly speculated that in a hundred years, with the level of human scientific and technological development, the power of weapons will become more and more powerful, and they will be able to completely defeat the demons.
But there are also fears that the demons will also use human weapons against themselves. Fortunately, according to the capture of the devil confession, they came to the world is a one-way channel, can not go back, so simply can not feedback information to hell. Some demons who just came to the world, still looking at humans a thousand years ago, also confirmed the reliability of this statement.
The proposal was adopted and implemented immediately, and the hunters had to set targets to ensure that it could open the door to hell. Since the demons had already separated the method of building the sky tower from the responsibility of opening the door to hell, the association first secretly sealed Victoria as the key to the door to hell. At the same time, patiently wait for the construction of the tower is completed, once completed, hunt the demon clan, to prevent the last two discovery plan.
In fact, after the nuclear bomb exploded in 1945, the Hunters knew that humans could defeat the demons, and that humans had the power as terrible as the strongest weapon ban. But it wasn't until 1987 that the tower was completed and planned to open the doors to hell this year. Unexpectedly, in the first few years of the plan, the tower was hit by a group of terrorists. At a loss, the hunters had to let Victoria out and let her find other towers. She even sacrificed several elders in order to gain her trust. As a result, as the predecessors of the hunters expected, the demons were beaten to their knees. Governments did not intend to destroy the demons, but to keep them and bring them under human rule.
Victoria, turning pale and biting her lip, asked, " I want to ask you the last word, you have been calculating me from the very beginning. So do you ever... like me.”
"I feel for you as you feel for me.”
Victoria was stunned for a moment, then in a daze, immediately bowed his head and his cheeks blushed shyly.
"Human beings can not completely eliminate the demons, you will live with us, for the future peace, start from us, the end of thousands of years of war!”
Acting in place of language, I hugged Victoria and kissed her little mouth. Victoria described even if haggard, look back at a smile.
