open one ''s eyes.


    The black snake team''s office looks the same as when he entered the film world.


    Check time: 11:41 a.m.


    Take a deep breath, pick up the cigarette box thrown on the table, put it into your pocket and walk out of the office.


    The train through Heiguo town doesn''t arrive until 3 p.m.


    Cole is going to go to the devil hunting group''s restaurant to fill his stomach.


    As the most famous bureaucratic organization of the Mengxi Empire, under the operation of an independent foundation, the demon hunting regiment owns many real estate in the major cities of the Empire.


    Part of it is used as a temporary residence for demon hunters.


    Part of it is used for housing distribution.


    Part of the rental is charged rent.


    Located in the headquarters of the imperial capital, it is no exaggeration that the treatment of employees ranks among the top ten of the Empire.


    The famous chef''s restaurant, which is an 18 hour system, provides free meals to staff and lower level demon hunters.


    Middle and high-level bureaucrats.


    It not only has the power of private customization by famous chefs and the place to enjoy delicious food, but also a luxury restaurant decorated separately on the first floor.


    however.


    Cole''s patience with his amazing appetite.


    If you accept private ordering, a conservative estimate of a meal, even eating and cooking, will take at least three hours.


    It''s lunchtime.


    Cole walked into the restaurant.


    In the surprised and puzzled eyes of the demon hunters, they sat in front of an unmanned round table with a large plate of bread, ten steaks, fifteen chicken legs and four cups of hot milk.


    glut oneself with delicacies.


    On his plate, he ate the long, supple black hair, which was cut shoulder length and tied together with a simple brown head rope.


    Cole''s figure was reflected in the olive green pupil. He bowed his head, forked a small piece of potato and said, "some small injuries are not in the way.


    I heard you and the black snake brigade were assigned to the special investigation section. "


    After a moment of silence, he seemed to have no appetite at all. He put his knife and fork on the table, looked up and said, "last time in the hospital... I didn''t mean to target you. I''m just in a bad mood. I hope you can understand."


    Cole said coldly, "don''t apologize."


    "... thank you."


    In a long silence.


    Cole ate the last piece of food on the plate.


    Penny ate only half of the steak.


    Seeing him get up and ready to leave, Penny hesitated for a long time and said, "if I have time, I''d like to talk to you."


    "Wait until this mission is over."


    "I''m not in a hurry."


    Perhaps, last time in the hospital, penny, who couldn''t restrain her sadness, showed her weakness in front of cole, more like a woman than a demon hunter.


    Perhaps in the internal investigation, he deliberately concealed the facts from Cole and even listed him as the object of suspicion, feeling guilty.


    This time.


    The embarrassment in the air made her want to leave with a plate more than once.


    I don''t want to have more intersection with Cole.


    But


    Except Cole.


    Now she can''t even find someone to talk to.


    Cole stood where he was, didn''t leave in a hurry, and said in silence, "penny."


    "What?"


    "Everything will be all right."


    Their eyes collided. Penny smiled reluctantly and said, "I''m fine. Don''t worry."


    On the way out of the restaurant.


    He glanced at the window.


    You can just see Penny sitting at the table alone, holding the reflection of a knife and fork.


    Although he said nothing, Cole knew that penny seranda was a woman who attached great importance to interpersonal relationships.


    Or.


    At the age of 14, the experience of vampire leading to the death of both her parents made her more mature than others.


    But also more sensitive to death and the breakdown of interpersonal relationships.


    Cole also heard Baruch mention these things by chance.


    The blow to penny from the complete destruction of the razor brigade is far from being so light on the surface.


    As a good friend, you should take time to talk to her.


    2:30 p.m.


    Vera, who has prepared her weapons and equipment, hurried back.


    As soon as you enter the door.


    This beautiful young girl... If you don''t mention the scars on her face.


    Out of breath, he said to Cole, "Hoo... Sorry, Captain, there are a lot of things. I''m late."


    "Where''s gene?"


    "He''s in the car at the door. Let''s start now. The three o''clock train... Should be in time."


    Stuff a lot of junk into her locker.


    They left the office.


    The bus of the demon hunting regiment has been waiting for them at the door.


    On the way.


    Vera took out her weapon as usual and said, "Captain, try this long knife."


    Cole took the long knife from her.


    The shape is similar to his.


    However, the blade is slightly lighter and the length is shortened by half a finger, which is more suitable for women.


    then.


    The girl turned up her sleeve, exposed the sleeve sword fixed on it, and smiled, "I always think this thing is not only practical, but also very handsome.


    But neither gene nor grace advised me to use this weapon.


    Captain, what do you think? "


    Qien, sitting in the co pilot, said helplessly, "first, your strength is far worse than captain Cole. Second, you don''t have combat experience in close combat. Third, you..."


    "All right, all right! This is the third time you''ve been nagging in my ear."


    Cole returned the knife to Vera and said coldly, "you''re imitating me."


    The proud daughter of a rich family didn''t feel angry when she heard this description. She put down her one handed crossbow and looked directly into Cole''s eyes. "Isn''t it reasonable for students to imitate teachers? Captain Cole."


    final.


    In the endless debate between gene and Vera, the three got on the train and drove to the destination, the disappeared town of Heiguo.


    On the train.


    Gene took the mission briefing given to them by the demon hunting group, frowned and read it over and over again, as if he wanted to find some useful clues from it.


    Vera sat opposite him and gently wiped the blade with a cloth.


    Seven hours later.


    At 10 p.m., the three got off at the wilderness passing through Heiguo town.


    They were greeted by the senior detective in charge of the case in southeast city, Aiden Piji.


    A tall man of about thirty.


    Meet?


    Introduce and greet each other.


    They got into the police car and drove to a village not far away.


    They will spend the night there tonight.


    The car stopped outside a folk house. Aiden asked the three people to go in and sit down.


    Maybe I don''t want to waste time.


    As soon as the three sat down, he took out a thick stack of files, put them on the table, and said solemnly, "you are the third batch of demon hunters here. I don''t care if you are the famous Cole walker or anyone else.


    There''s something I have to say before I act.


    First, all your actions must be discussed with me. Second, do not use psychic media or other special abilities of investigation. Third, if you hear someone calling your name at night, do not promise or look back. Fourth, when you are close to Heiguo Town, absolutely, absolutely do not act alone.


    Am I clear enough? "
