Chapter 10 The Species of the Absurd
Walking out of the infirmary, Zheng Jing was waiting for the test on a long wooden chair outside. A middle-aged man wearing a wide coat looked a little bloated, walked over and sat beside Zheng Jing.
The uncle had a terrible hair, a yellow face and a beard on his sluggish coat, and he looked very worn. I don’t know how long he had worn it, but he gave Zheng Jing a very dry feeling without a trace of sloppy greasy feeling.
From the previous conversation with Sun Qiqi, Zheng Jing knew that in this Eighth Mental Hospital, only the night watchmen or the prisoners here were not allowed to move in suits, so this uncle should not be an ordinary person.
"Are you that newcomer?" After sitting together for a while, the uncle suddenly spoke to Zheng Jing.
"Hello senior, my name is Zheng..." Zheng Jing speculated that he might be an old man from the Witch Hunter Organization, so he said respectfully.
The uncle interrupted Zheng Jing, looked at Horn calmly, and said in a deep voice: "This industry is not as beautiful as you imagined. Are you really ready to step in?"
Zheng Jing was a little confused by this uncle. Of course, he knew that this kind of work that might be related to supernatural abilities was very dangerous, but he had the reason to have to enter this industry.
"Is there anything you need to pay attention to? Can you tell me? I have no choice but to join." Zheng Jing asked tentatively, perhaps he could learn some inside information from this uncle's mouth.
The uncle looked at Zheng Jing deeply, thought for a while and said:
"It is important to be careful not to get involved. Being an ordinary person is really good. If you have to join, just be a helper. Don't expect power beyond common sense. That's of course very useful, but that comes with a price, and you may not want to bear the price."
"But, I have signed the contract." Zheng Jing said with a wry smile. Although this uncle looked quite gloomy, he gave him a feeling of trust.
"Then I have nothing to say, try to survive."
The uncle stood up, walked straight into the infirmary, took off his coat, and there was a deep bone-showing wound on his back. Did he just talk to me about those things under such severe injuries...
Sun Qiqi skillfully treated the uncle's wound and asked nothing. Obviously, such wounds are very common here.
Zheng Jing suddenly realized that becoming a superpower may be much more dangerous than imagined.
After the wound was almost treated, it became almost dark. Ding Mingguang took Meng Yan down. It seemed that it was time to do the so-called test.
"Let's go and see if you have the potential to become a superman."
Ding Mingguang took Zheng Jing to a cell in the basement, and several others followed him down, Meng Yan, Sun Qiqi, and the uncle in a coat.
This cell is much tighter than the cell where Zheng Jing was imprisoned. There were faint roars inside, like a wild beast with a gagging mouth.
When I opened the door of the cell, I saw a man whose limbs were tightly bound by iron bars. His mouth was slapped by a rope, and he could not be opened or closed. His saliva flowed over his chest. Seeing everyone coming in, the man's eyes quickly swollen with blood vessels and his sharp fangs grew out.
"Don't look at his eyes, that will cause us unnecessary trouble. This is an absurd monster. Dealing with them is part of our work." Ding Mingguang pointed at the man and said to Zheng Jing.
"What is absurd species?" Zheng Jing looked at the ground obediently, then asked Ding Mingguang.
"What we witch hunters have to deal with is generally divided into two categories, one is the reality type and the other is the absurd type." Meng Yan, who was standing aside, walked forward two steps and lit a cigarette for himself and explained.
"The real species is monsters that actually exist in this world, vampires, ghosts, monsters, wizards, etc. The monsters in the legend you heard when you were a child generally exist, and the absurd species and the real species are monsters that do not exist in this world."
Zheng Jing was a little confused. If it did not exist in this world, then what was tied to it?
"The absurd species appeared more than fifty years ago. It had no source, no sign, no reason, and suddenly appeared in the world. The name absurd species was also established forty years ago.
Compared with the traditional monsters hidden in the dark, there are many absurdities, which are impossible to count at all, and their abilities are all strange. Even individuals who seem to be exactly the same may have completely different abilities. Some abilities are absurd and cannot be explained at all.
Just like this guy, he looks like a vampire, but his speed and power are not in the same dimension as ordinary vampires, and he is also immortal. We have spent a lot of energy to figure out how to kill him. Compared with him, those real monsters that have fought with us for hundreds of years are simply too cute."
After Meng Yan finished explaining, Zheng Jing was still a little confused, but he understood the general meaning. The absurd species is an unscientific monster, well, that's it.
"If you want to kill this absurd species, you need to insert a pointed wooden stake into his heart. In addition, you can only use the sun to burn him to death." Ding Mingguang gave a look, and Meng Yan threw a wooden stake to Zheng Jing.
"Go, kill him, it depends on this time whether you can become a superman."
"I...I, let me do it?"
Zheng Jing was a little at a loss. Why did he let him kill someone after joining? Although the one opposite him was a monster, he also looked the same as a human. He suddenly made him kill, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"Decades ago, most witch hunters had no superpowers, and at that time our opponents were much easier to deal with.
Later, the absurd seed appeared. At first, the demon hunters were completely at a disadvantage, but later we found that after killing the absurd seed with their own hands, there is a chance of gaining some strange abilities. It is precisely because of these abilities that we demon hunters have the ability to deal with the absurd seeds.
And it is almost inevitable that you, who have awakened inspiration, will gain abilities after killing the absurd species, so kill it!" Ding Mingguang pushed Zheng Jing behind him and said solemnly.
"Can I try again in the future? Suddenly I let me kill someone..." Zheng Jing held the wooden stake and felt that the wooden stake was getting hot.
Ding Mingguang was not surprised to see Zheng Jing's hesitation. In fact, this is the reaction of a normal person. People may be very decisive when they have no choice, but when there is a choice, few people can kill people.
He said casually: "It's okay not to do anything, then you can only be a helper, your monthly salary is 5,000. If you awaken your ability and become a formal witch hunter, your monthly salary will increase to 10,000, and there are many benefits..."
Before Ding Mingguang finished speaking, Zheng Jing had already walked into the cell with the wooden stake in his hand. He also wanted to support his younger brother to go to school. If he had a job worth 10,000 yuan a month, he would at least not have to consider renting out his house.
What you want to kill is not a human, a monster, not a human, a monster...
Zheng Jing slowly approached the bound absurd seed, while constantly comforting himself.
Suddenly he paused because some information suddenly appeared in his mind.
