<h4>Chapter 1077: White me’s Private Life</h4>
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Most demon hunters in the north lived a life simr to that of a monk. They did not own houses but lived in various temples or barracks. White me was no exception. She lived deep inside a frosty temple, which had be her home ever since Hasse adopted her.
Hasse brought them to the ce where White me lived. It was in the deepest part of the temple, in front of an ancient oak door. This door and the surrounding Gothic columns were all showing their age and vicissitude of thousands of years. Though not dark, it felt depressing to be in this temple. Standing in front of the door and looking at the mottled spots on it, Hao Ren had difficulty connecting this ce with a boudoir.
He had met White me a few times but did not really know much about her. This was his first time at her residence. His impression was that she was a nun, growing up in the demon-hunter organization, receiving rigorousbat training and indoctrination. She was a girl entirely lived life as a penance. He put his hand on the heavy oak door. It felt as cold as an ice sheet.
“I can feel why she said she didn’t like this ce, it’s cold and boring,” Hao Ren mumbled to Vivian who stood beside him. He then knocked on the door lightly.
After a long while, a faint voice was heard in the room. “Who is it? Come in. The door is not locked.”
Hao Ren gave the door a gentle push. When the door swung open, he thought he hade into a wrong ce: the scene behind the door had his jaw dropped to the floor.
The wall facing the door was entirely a disy shelf, filled with various garage kits andic magazines. The floor was strewn with magazines and snack packaging. In the corner of the room was a single bed, which looked as if it had never been cleaned up. The bed sheet was heaped like abstract art in a corner. In the other corner of the room was arge 50-inch LCD TV connected to a PS4 game console. A petite girl wearing a cartoon nightgown was sitting cross-legged on the ground ying game. Her back was facing the door so they could not see her face. But she had long silver hair that spread down like a waterfall on her shoulders.
The girl did not even turn her head around. She just waved her hand and said, “Shut the door, please. It’s cold.”
Hasse, who came with them, could not bear to see the scene and hemmed. “White me, you have visitors.”
While still in the middle of her game, White me suddenly came to her senses. She jumped to her feet and scurried toward the door. “Ahh!”
Picking up his jaw, Hao Ren took a step back. Facing with the silver-haired girl in cartoon pajamas, with big dark circles under her eyes, unkempt hair and crumbs of potato chip in the corners of her mouth, Hao Ren raised his hands in a defensive posture and asked, “Who is this?”
White me was stunned and her expression changed. “Hao... Ren? What brings you here?”
Suddenly realizing her pledge of allegiance to Hao Ren, the girl quickly changed her tone of voice. Look aside, she was still dependable. But Hao Ren could not feel it. Staring at the girl for a long while, he was finally convinced that she was White me. Feeling as if he hade to a parallel universe, he asked, “Are you possessed by the will of the goddess?”
Hao Ren could not help it. Aside from her signature silver hair, she was anything but otherworldly.
“Will of the goddess? What will of the goddess?” White me asked.
Vivian quietly stepped back and whispered to Hasse, face serious. “Is she like this usually?”
“Ahh... No, she wasn’t like this when she was a kid. You know, back then, humans hadn’t invented the game console yet.” Hasse’s face looked hopeless. Apparently, he knew that this would be the situation. “She likesics from a very young age.”
Lily stared for a long while before she said, “But things don’t seem to fit in here.”
Hao Ren and Vivian snorted in unison, “Shut up! You are not qualified toment here!”
White me calmed down and invited Hao Ren inside. But almost immediately, she pushed him back out again. “I need to change. Please give me a minute.”
Before Hao Ren could react, the massive and quaint oak door was mmed shut from the inside. Weirdly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the old wooden door again, he felt that the scene looked normal again with the door closed.
In just less than half a minute, the door opened again with a genius demon-hunting girl appeared in front of him. Dressed in a ck suit, hair was tied into a ponytail, with no more crumbs of snack at the corner of her mouth, except the dark circle under her eyes, White me was in her usual look now. Even her sharp and clear-cut aura had returned. But Hao Ren could still see the tragic room behind her and the eye-catching word “GAME OVER” on the 50-inch screen.
White me looked back and screamed quietly, “Oops! I didn’t save it!”
Speechless.
“I didn’t expect this...” Hao Ren’s mouth twitched, and he could not help but murmured again, “Damn it. Where is my Nun of the Coldfrost Citadel?”
White me overheard it and smiled embarrassingly. “Err... who says that demon hunters can’t have a hobby?”
Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. He realized that this is not the first time White me said this. Thest time she said it was when everyone learned that she lovedics. It had been a big blow to his perception of demon hunters. But this time, it hit him harder.
Nevertheless, he now had a deeper appreciation of this phrase of White me.
“Life on the ice sheet is boring,” White me said. She had regained her usual aura after changing back into herbat suit. Smiling, she said calmly, “It’s far from the bustling world, no shopping malls and no parks. Basically, my daily routine would bebat training and studying the ancient scrolls; otherwise, there is nothing to do in the citadel. What else can I do? I don’t like to go out with them hunting the seals.”
Hao Ren thought for a moment, speechless.
Meanwhile, Lily’s attention had shifted to something else. “How did you get your hands on that stuff? I mean, do you have someone specially assigned to buy those games andics?”
“Not exactly. But the field purchasing guys would bring me new titles every time they went to the source for supplies in the human world. I’ve been very restrained though. A game console is not a big deal. Andaherr used to bring back a circus, but thenter we found that we didn’t know what to do about them.”
Hao Ren was struck dumb.
Again, he learned something new. Suddenly, it seemed to him that these guys were just like him, humanly.
Noticing the atmosphere became a little awkward, White me quickly steered the conversation away. “So what brings you guys here?” she asked.
Startled by the question, Hao Ren quickly reigned in his wandered mind. “Oh, we’vee here to conduct an in-depth investigation of Coldpath. We need you to be our guide.”
“Investigation?” White me was a bit curious. “Haven’t you investigated before? What have you discovered recently?”
She roughly knew what work Hao Ren was doing, so she had already guessed something.
“We found a ‘parasite,’ the will of the goddess on a demon hunter who returned from Coldpath,” Hao Ren said bluntly. “Now we suspect that there are still many more spiritual forces lurking in Coldpath. They may have been suppressed by the ck sword before, but now these things have probably escaped.”
Vivian added, “The will of the goddess itself is friendly, but it is of a very high category, getting close to them would put the life of the mortals in danger.”
White me’s face turned gloomy.
She hesitated a bit. “In fact, there have been some unusual phenomena in Coldpath recently.”
