Chapter 3437: Hunter's Dream

"7th floor shrine" was Ms. Gerd's answer, while Miss Kearns remembered what happened when she first arrived:

"Actually, I appeared on the 19th floor at first. I didn't understand the rules here at the time, and I rashly lit a light in the corridor, causing evil spirits in the darkness to attack me. At that time, I leaned against the door of Room 1908, and the door lit up immediately after being stained with the blood of that monster. The monster was frightened away, and I had a chance to escape, and later met Ms. Gerd in the stairwell.

Thinking about it now, it is very likely that something similar to a holy object is hanging behind the door of Room 1908."

The room Miss Kearns mentioned happened to be on the 19th floor, just like Room 1978 that needed to be dealt with. If they were lucky, they might be able to run into it directly.

So Xia De locked his goal on Room 1978 and Room 1908. When he proposed that his time was running out and he had to set off to the 19th floor now, the hunter lady said she could help this time:

"I have almost recovered, and I know the 19th floor best."

"I will stay this time. I was slightly injured just now and still need some time to recover."

Miss Novare said. The appearance of her dress stained with blood was quite convincing, but in fact, she had fully recovered. Xia De guessed that she needed time to "digest" the power of the evil spirit she swallowed.

Ms. Gerd actually also wanted to go to the 19th floor together, but the corridor was narrow, and there was no need for three people to go out, not to mention that three people going out required more lamp fire.

So in the end, Miss Kearns accompanied Xia De to the 19th floor. Although this meant 【Dawn of Daybreak】 and 【Seal of the Demon Hunter】 could not be borrowed by Xia De, according to the two witches who saw them off, although Miss Kearns' rank was not as good as the vampire witch, because most of the enemies here would be restrained by her power, her actual combat power was not inferior to Miss Novare.

The two still had one person holding an oil lamp and one person holding a candle. If it was said that the red-haired vampire girl had the feeling of a noble girl entering a haunted house by mistake, then Miss Kearns gave Xia De the feeling of a professional adventurer breaking into a demon cave preparing to defeat the demon king.

Her temperament was similar to Iluna, but also like Miss Knight, the female knight in the Gravel Sea. Xia De originally thought that the two going out together would be a bit awkward if no one spoke at first, but when he took the elevator key and walked to the right, after passing six doors on the left and right, he saw the elevator room of 1000, the female hunter spoke directly:

"Mr. Hamilton, you noticed the abnormality on Novare, right?"

The door of the elevator room was opened. Until the two entered it, the female hunter who had been to the 19th floor shouted "Go to the 19th floor" and stepped on the button, and the elevator started slowly, he answered:

"Yes, so you want to discuss the secret on her with me?"

The black-haired female hunter who didn't smile shook her head, and her quite powerful eyes looked at Xia De in the slightly trembling elevator:

"It's not the secret on her, it's the secret on her and Ms. Gerd. Since you are the holder of 【Night Watcher】, you should know that although our profession is to hunt evil spirits and demons, we actually have sensing ability and coping ability for other evil spirits.

I have sensed powerful evil aura on Novare and Ms. Gerd. It's not that they themselves are evil, but that they have a powerful connection with evil. I know that some witches use evil power, but they will not be driven by power, but Ms. Gerd and Novare are different."

It took half a minute from the tenth floor to the nineteenth floor, and her speaking speed was not fast:

"They are not driving those powers; they are almost integrated with those powers."

The feet vibrated slightly, and the 19th floor had arrived. This time Xia De still didn't take the initiative to open the door, but asked:

"So you want to remind me not to trust Miss Novare and Ms. Gerd?"

The hunter lady nodded and shook her head:

"Their stated purposes should all be true, and no one here can survive alone, so we won't be enemies for the time being. But don't let your guard down. This inn will not bring the four of us here for no reason. Even if this is just a coincidence of fate, but fate..."

"The occasional nature of fate itself is also the accumulation of countless inevitabilities."

Xia De said this, and Miss Kearns showed a quite surprised look:

"Yes, that's it."

She said and extended her hand to shake Xia De's:

"Then wish us a happy cooperation and be able to leave here smoothly."

Xia De then also extended his hand to shake hers, and at the same time "She" whispered in his ear:

【Outsider, you have come into contact with traces of demons.】

Xia De's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even look at the hand Miss Kearns was wearing the 【Seal of the Demon Hunter】. After letting go of the female hunter's hand, he pulled open the fence door of the elevator, then opened the room door and saw the corridor on the 19th floor.

"By the way, Miss Kearns, which demon are you chasing here? Maybe I have encountered it before."

Xia De asked again before the two were ready to enter the corridor. The black-haired demon hunter lady gritted her teeth:

"That demon is very ancient. I encountered it when I was young, and it was because of this that I made up my mind to become a hunter. Later, about three months ago, I accepted a commission to clean up the ghouls in the cemetery of a village. Acting at night, when returning to the village at dawn, the village had already been swallowed by the other party.

Dream-eating demon-Nagul, it is a demon of dreams. Its main body is not in the material world most of the time, but it can use the power of the dream world to let the dream swallow reality. I chased it for three months, and finally forced its main body out of the dream in a forest far from the city. I didn't expect that it would run here in a panic at the end."

"Dream demon... seems to have heard of it, but can't remember clearly."

Xia De said in a low voice, quite regretting that the doctor was not here, otherwise the doctor would definitely be interested in entering the dream and fighting the other party alone:

"We might encounter the other party next, so be careful. It probably also wants to get rid of you here."

Xia De said, and Miss Kearns nodded with a sword in her hand. Xia De lagged behind by one step. While the other party's back was rushing toward him, he blinked:

"Miracle-Remaining Admonition."

Some glowing white runes appeared around Miss Kearns in Xia De's vision. The content of the five "admonitions" was exactly the same:

【At this moment, is it really not a dream? I can't tell.】

It must be reality now. After all, the god on the first floor of the inn is definitely not fake. This is the best anchor. Although there is also the possibility of gods entering other people's dreams, this time it should not be.

So Miss Kearns' state at this time was quite strange. Clearly wearing 【Seal of the Demon Hunter】 and holding 【Dawn of Daybreak】, but there were traces of demons on her body.

"Is the demon she wants to chase currently hiding in her dream?"

Xia De guessed this, but he didn't know the demon at all, so at this moment he just pretended not to know the situation and followed her to the 19th floor. After he went back this time and asked Dr. Schneider, the next time he came back would be the end of that demon.

The room number of the elevator room on the 19th floor was "1900," which made Xia De confirm that the smallest room number on each floor was the elevator room.

It seemed that the corridors of each floor were somewhat different. The temperature of the 19th floor corridor was similar to the tenth floor, and the smell in the air was also similar, but there were blood traces splashed everywhere on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

"It was like this when I came for the first time. Do not touch those blood traces; this should be left by something in a room."

Miss Kearns reminded in a low voice.

The room opposite the elevator room was a room number never seen before, so neither of them had any intention of exploring it, because the god gave Xia De the ability to sense task rooms, so Xia De led the way to the left.

The lantern and candle had already been lit at this time, and the two firelights, one in front and one behind, could only illuminate the darkness of two or three meters around.

The focus this time was the monster in Room 1978 and the holy object that might exist in Room 1908. Therefore, although Xia De sensed Room 1978, he hoped more that the holy object room would appear first.

He was thinking in his heart, but Miss Kearns stopped her steps. At this moment, they had only passed the room door of the first room on the left side of the elevator room, but the long sword held by the female hunter suddenly lit up with stronger light.

She immediately suppressed the light on the sword, and then went to look at the thick darkness ahead. After a low laugh, a soft female voice came from ahead:

"Do you need me to lead the way for you? Lost lambs."

Miss Kearns raised her sword and retreated slowly, while Xia De continued to watch the backs of the two, but also retreated synchronously.

That voice then appeared from the direction Xia De was facing:

"You want to return to Room 1900, right? That room hasn't been opened for a long time. You know the secret of this inn, right?"

That voice was a bit sweet and greasy at this moment, and then appeared from the direction Miss Kearns was facing:

"How about this, you take me to other floors, and I will transfer the ownership of all the rooms I originally lived in to you. I have hoarded treasures for many years inside, not only gold and silver, but also powerful weapons, precious alchemical materials, and even, a simple map of the 19th floor."

Miss Kearns' long sword suddenly stabbed at the ceiling above their heads at this moment. The ceiling, which looked like it only had black bloodstains, showed a smear of blood under the blade, and then the thing hidden above their heads appeared.

That was a black spider with a female face, about the size of a calf, but the tongue in its mouth was like a snake's tongue. 【Dawn of Daybreak】 accurately hit its abdomen, and then before it could scream, the light of dawn bloomed at the tip of the sword, and the sliding long sword split the spider in two. ===== CHAPTER 3438 =====
