591: The Otherworld and the Exorcist

Chapter 591: Inner World and Demon Hunter

Thrace got into the car and casually grabbed a drink from the refrigerator. "Do you want one?"

"Sure." Ye Zian nodded.

Thrace took two bottles, then walked over to the sofa and sat down, placing one bottle on the opposite side before leaning back.

Ye Zian also sat down and looked at Thrace, waiting for his explanation.

"Emmm~ How should I tell you?" Thrace pondered for a moment before asking Ye Zian, "Do you know about the Inner World?"

"...If I knew, would I be asking you?" Ye Zian's eye twitched. Just hearing the words 'Inner World' told him it was no ordinary matter.

The problem was, if he knew the answer to such a question, would he still be confused?

"Uh~ Hahaha!" Thrace laughed heartily when he heard Ye Zian's words, then he stood up. "You know, I have a detective agency."

"And?" Ye Zian looked at Thrace. What did that have to do with his detective agency?

"Then you also know that, normally, someone like me wouldn't get any detective work..." Thrace said with another laugh.

"So the detective work you do is all about the Inner World?" Ye Zian's mind was quick. Hearing Thrace say that, he suddenly realized.

"No." Thrace shook his head.

"..." Ye Zian took a deep breath. His fists were hardening.

"Hahaha~ Actually, I run a Demon Hunting agency. I am a Demon Hunter." Thrace said with a laugh, "The monster that just attacked you, in the Inner World, is the most common and most annoying existence. We call it a Scarecrow, since it really does look similar to a Scarecrow, just uglier and more unsightly~"

"And then? So why was I attacked? So why is the sky... or rather, everything around us blood-red now? Is it because we're currently in the Inner World?" Ye Zian asked curiously.

"Bingo! Congratulations! You got it right! Too bad there's no reward." Thrace snapped his fingers and said to Ye Zian with a smile, "The Inner World and the real world are actually opposites.

Or rather, the Inner World is a source of evil. All the resentment, evil thoughts, deaths, and so on from the real world gather in the Inner World, giving birth to various evil demons.

Normally, the Inner World is actually separate from the real world, and they don't interfere with each other. However, for some unknown reason, a bridge has recently formed between the Inner World and the real world, and then, frequent but brief contact began.

And at this time, people like us are needed.

And people like us are Demon Hunters."

"So the news I saw today was actually a tragic incident caused by the Inner World and the real world intersecting?" Ye Zian thought of the news he had seen earlier.

"Yes, because this situation cannot be explained, and even if it were, it would be useless and only cause greater panic." Thrace shrugged. "But in my opinion, it's like burying one's head in the sand. This kind of thing can't be kept secret! And it's happening more and more frequently... The more it's hidden, the easier it is to cause greater panic!

But this kind of thing is not my concern, it has nothing to do with me~"

"Can we go back?" Ye Zian glanced at the blood-red sky outside.

"Of course. You can go back when the time comes, or I can take you out actively." Thrace shrugged. "We Demon Hunters still have ways to actively enter and exit the Inner World."

"Phew~ Alright then! Can you tell me more about it? Like Demon Hunters? Like you?" Ye Zian took a deep breath. He had a pretty good mindset and quickly accepted the occurrence and existence of such things.

"Good mindset~" Thrace smiled and said, "Demon Hunters exist all over the world, and their inheritances are different. Many of them are systematic. Of course, not everyone can become a true Demon Hunter.

However, there are many ways to allow ordinary people to possess the power to kill evil demons!

Of course, evil demons also have physical forms, and physical damage can harm them, but... the power and effect will be greatly weakened... But theoretically, strong enough power can still shatter them.

However, this is simply not something ordinary people can do!

So, in the past, there were things like holy water, enchanted silver swords, enchanted crossbow bolts, and so on... But now... modern Demon Hunters combine spiritual power with technology to create more advanced weapons and equipment... For example~ these two guns of mine."

Thrace patted the guns at his waist. "These two guns fire demon-hunting bullets that can cause huge damage to evil demons! Of course, if there are no special demon-hunting bullets, spiritual power can also be used to shoot, but the consumption is a bit high."

"Emmm~ I still really want to know, why are you telling me so much? I don't have an inheritance, nor do I have power... The more I know, the faster I'll die, right? Or... are you planning to teach me?" Ye Zian looked at Thrace and asked.

"Hahaha! I'd like to teach you, but unfortunately, my power doesn't come from inheritance, but from bloodline." Thrace shook his head slightly.

"Uh... What's that again?" Ye Zian felt a headache coming on when he heard Thrace's words. From his understanding, inheritance should be like cultivation methods, right?

Then this bloodline... From the name, he could roughly guess that it probably came from the power of his "ancestors"?

"How to put it, I'm a demon." Thrace said with a smile, and then his eyes suddenly changed, becoming vertical pupils, emitting the most primal, icy killing intent.

But it was only for a moment before he returned to normal.

"The power comes from demons. I'm born with powerful strength... including physique~" Thrace shrugged. "But normally, I don't use it."

"Why?" Ye Zian was curious.

"Because it's dangerous! Is a demon's power that easy to use? Even if it comes from a bloodline." Thrace shook his head slightly, then shrugged. "And I somewhat dislike the demon power within me."

"Why?" Ye Zian pressed.

"Kid, you should be less curious!" Thrace angrily reached out and poked Ye Zian. "Alright, I've told you so much. If possible, you might as well..."

Ye Zian looked at the annoyed Thrace, and keenly noticed the deep sadness hidden in Thrace's eyes. He immediately knew that there must be a story behind it.

"Alright, alright~" Ye Zian shrugged. "So what do I do?"

"How should I know what to do!" Thrace waved his hand. "Anyway, you're working for me. If you're willing, you can take on more work~ Like an extra part-time job, come work at my agency!"
