South America. 南美洲。 An unknown small town welcomes one team of special visitors today. 一座名不见经传的小镇今天迎来了一队特殊的访客。 According to the address that Wayne provides, Hao Ren they advance one step to go to this place, and stops over in a pub on town temporarily. They chose that family's -type countryside inn, this can avoid the trouble on status. 按照韦恩提供的地址,郝仁他们先行一步来到了这个地方,并在镇子上的一座小旅馆中暂时落脚。他们选择了那种家庭式的乡下旅店,这样可以避免身份上的麻烦。 Wayne? Walt has returned to his family to handle something, according to the agreement, that head of the clan vampire will arrive at this small town and Vivian convergence two days later, before then Hao Ren they can act on free will here. Therefore after finding stopped over and was familiar with the hotel environment slightly, Hao Ren then and Vivian left the hotel, strolls at will in the town. 韦恩?华特已经返回他的家族去处理一些事情,依照约定,那位吸血鬼族长会在两天后来到这座小镇和薇薇安汇合,在这之前郝仁他们可以在这边自由行动。因此在找好了落脚地并稍微熟悉了旅馆环境之后,郝仁便和薇薇安离开了旅馆,在镇子里随意闲逛起来。 The atmosphere of this small town makes Hao Ren unable to bear remember the southern suburbs old street old lane, although in the style is the entirely different place, but a same atmosphere actually flutters in each street, that is the flavor of years, is thing that getting old house and narrow obsolete old style street outlined together. This small town is at least with a history of hundred years, Hao Ren and Vivian , on the street leisurely strolls takes a walk can see the place of seeing is that very ancient house, outer wall that the traditional bricks structure, falls off motley, finding at everywhere, patches the use until now town road. Can hold two automobile parallel cement roads as the main road in town, the entire town then constructs along this path, can see the scattered simultaneous/uniform obsolete house by the path, the house dado moss and mildew spot finds at everywhere, in this in construction that feels the sense of history, the street light and billboard of modernization then mount in the towering way of being incompatible. Although clear(ly) knows that this town not possible to have anything to be connected with era, but Hao Ren could not bear think such town truly conformed to „the place of ancient family living in seclusion” very much localization. 这座小镇的氛围让郝仁忍不住想起南郊的老街旧巷虽然风格上是截然不同的地方,但一种同样的气氛却飘荡在每一条街道中,那是岁月的味道,是上了年纪的老房子和狭窄陈旧的老式街道所共同勾勒出的东西。这座小镇至少已有百年历史,郝仁和薇薇安在街道上信步走动的时候可以看到入目之处都是那种很古老的房子,传统的砖瓦结构,斑驳脱落的外墙,还有随处可见的、修修补补使用至今的城镇道路。有一条能容纳两辆汽车并行的水泥路作为城镇的主干道,整个镇子便沿着这条道路建设起来,在道路两旁可以看到错落不齐的老旧房子,房屋墙裙的青苔和霉斑随处可见,而在这一片充满历史感的建筑中,现代化的路灯和广告牌便以格格不入的突兀方式镶嵌其中。虽然明知道这座镇子不可能跟上古时代有什么关联,但郝仁还是忍不住想到这样一座城镇确实很符合“古老家族隐居之地”的定位。 different kind family that hundred years of old town/subdues, came from era, was the same ancient, similarly forgot, similarly and modern society was incompatible. 百年老镇,还有来自上古时代的异类家族,都是同样的古老,同样被人遗忘,同样和现代社会格格不入。 „Never expected that Hessiana will stay in Athens finally honestly, before” Hao Ren remembered just before leaving, entrained the leg of Vivian restless the period of time small bat essence, on the face is being out of control to take the happy expression, „also thinks that she said anything must follow. Finally was actually urged by you.” “没想到海瑟安娜最后会老老实实留在雅典啊,”郝仁想起了临行前拽着薇薇安的腿闹腾了好一阵子的小蝙蝠精,脸上禁不住带上笑意,“还以为她说啥也要跟着过来呢。最后竟然还是被你劝回去了。” Vivian one hear of Hessiana four character big, she rubs the frontal eminence to sigh: „The child more and more does not make sense, previous time keeps her in home estimate is a mistake, she is that type gives a sunlight on the bright fellow. Refuses to accept to teach more and more.” 薇薇安一听海瑟安娜四个字就头大,她揉着额角叹气:“那孩子越来越不像话了,上次留她在家估计是个错误,她是那种给点阳光就灿烂的家伙。越来越不服管教。” Relations of between Hao Ren to Vivian and Hessiana also has no means that therefore he smiles gently, looks up to in the air. 郝仁对薇薇安和海瑟安娜之间的关系也没什么办法,所以他只是轻轻笑了笑,抬头看向空中。 Right above their two people, blue, as if the meteor same luminous spot flashes past. 在他们二人正上方,一颗蓝色的、仿佛流星一样的光点一闪而过。 Mobile Data Terminal in the midair scanning entire topography of town as well as neighboring region, and observed scene will be sharing in the Hao Ren mind. Hao Ren keeps one eye on now. In another virtual vision in brain, he is overlooking this place in several hundred meters upper air. 数据终端正在半空扫描整个城镇以及周边地区的地势,并将观察到的景象共享到郝仁的脑海中。郝仁现在是一心二用。在大脑中的另一个虚拟视觉里,他正在数百米的高空俯视着这个地方。 He sees this population, only then thousand people of small towns are situated by a black small hill, in the surroundings very wide scope is the desolate and uninhabited wilderness, the gentle land on slopes construction of small town by along hill, as the curtain of night gradually arrives, the light in town shines, it looks like a magnificent necklace to build in hillside. Initially seems like all these and has no difference, no matter that bare stone hill or hill obsolete town averagely not wonderful, but Hao Ren will carefully observe one actually to discover town layout some places of being out of sorts: All buildings stop suddenly in the halfway of small hill. 他看到这座人口只有千人的小镇坐落在一座黑色的小山丘旁边,周围很大范围内都是荒无人烟的旷野,小镇沿着山丘旁的平缓坡地建造,随着夜幕逐渐降临,城镇中的灯光亮起,它就像是一条华丽的项链般搭在山坡脚下。初看上去这一切并没什么异样,不管是那光秃秃的石头山丘还是山丘脚下的陈旧镇子都平平无奇,但郝仁仔细观察了一会却发现镇子的布局有些违和的地方:所有建筑物都是在小山丘的半腰戛然而止。 Although can understand that this is for the cost and convenience, people have not constructed the house on a higher hillside. But the boundaries of these house interrupts were extremely neat, this point shone after the night light was so: Can obviously see on very much the hillside has an light/only dark boundary, the man-made light halts in that online neatly, like giving way to traffic anything to be the same. 虽然可以理解这是出于成本和方便考虑,人们没有把房子建在更高的山坡上。但那些房屋中断的界限还是太过整齐了,这一点在夜晚的灯光亮起之后更是如此:可以很明显地看到山坡上有一条光暗的分界线,人造灯光在那条线上齐刷刷地止步,就如同在避让着什么东西一样。 But does not have the light place is not empty: The house that several obvious have abandoned falls on „boundary” alone another end, they are the town extends to the hill on „bits and pieces”, seems like abandoned for many years, seemed discarded same throws outside, in the town does not have any path extends to that several houses. But in that several abandon the huts vaguely to see path trace that the remote time stays behind: After the Mobile Data Terminal enlargement picture, Hao Ren saw seems like the thing of cement blocks and broken brick is distributed above the halfway up the mountainside place. 但没有灯光的地方也并不是空无一物:有几座显然已经废弃的房屋孤零零地落在“分界线”的另一端,它们是镇子延伸到山丘上的“边角料”,看上去已经被废弃多年,就仿佛被丢弃一样扔在外面,城镇里没有任何道路延伸到那几座房子中间。但在那几座废弃小屋之间依稀可以看到更久远时候留下的道路痕迹:在数据终端放大画面之后,郝仁看到了一些像是水泥块和碎砖的东西分布在半山腰以上的地方。 Vivian has not paid attention to the picture that Mobile Data Terminal sends, she looks at the town gentle scene looking pensive: „Here atmosphere is a little inconceivable...... I also to think that the Ancattero family's territory is a gloomier place after all is the different kind rule. Moreover one month ago also had that matter.” 薇薇安没有关注数据终端发来的画面,她只是看着镇子平和的景象若有所思:“这里的气氛有点不可思议……我还以为安卡特罗家族的领地是个更阴森的地方毕竟是异类统治。而且一个月前还发生了那种事。” „different kind must certainly hide the whereabouts, you looked that the Athens shelter scale is so big, the Athens city is not very lively,” Hao Ren spoke thoughtlessly to say. „Moreover the shadow of chaos does not attack human.” “异类肯定是要隐藏自己行踪的嘛,你看雅典庇护所规模那么大,雅典城不还是挺热闹么,”郝仁随口说道。“而且混沌之影又不攻击人类。” „Pouring is......” Vivian is also whispering in a low voice, „does not know how the Ancattero family hidden, I could not find any mystical place trace, where also does not know entrance conceals. It seems like can only count on guide who Wayne sends.” “倒也是……”薇薇安低声嘀咕着,“也不知道安卡特罗家族是怎么隐藏的,我找不到任何秘境痕迹,也不知道入口藏在什么地方。看来只能指望着韦恩送来的向导了。” Hao Ren un, looked up to the end of town street, the front town light extends along a gradient upwardly. In the light reflected to shine not far away that black hill outline: „North town possibly has anything, that side several abandoned houses very make one care. Or do we have a look? Perhaps is the Ancattero family's beforehand human world industry.” 郝仁嗯了一声,抬头看向镇子街道的尽头,前方的城镇灯光沿着一个坡度向上延伸。灯光中映亮了不远处那座黑色小山的轮廓:“镇子北面可能有什么东西,那边的几座废屋挺让人在意的。要不咱们去看看？说不定是安卡特罗家族以前的人间产业。” „Can have a look?” Vivian blinks, „the guide who crosses two days of Wayne families should also come.” “要去看看？”薇薇安眨眨眼,“不过过两天韦恩家族的向导也该来了吧。” „Idles in any case is also idling,” Hao Ren shrugs, „, moreover in this town possibly also has the Demon Hunter activity, perhaps they also come to the Ancattero family, if we can discover ahead of time their trails can also avoid two days later is thrown into confusion.” “反正闲着也是闲着,”郝仁一耸肩,“而且这镇子里可能还有猎魔人活动,他们或许也是冲着安卡特罗家族来的,咱们要是能提前发现他们的踪迹也可以避免两天后手忙脚乱。” The ordinary different kind when hear to have the Demon Hunter activity to hide hide, in fact Hao Ren just started is also same, but currently his style has the change. Because contacts with Demon Hunter repeatedly, in addition the crucial moment of experience are many, now Hao Ren is familiar with want more positive solution, in the necessary situation he will even choose contacts with Demon Hunter on own initiative, to avoid itself falling into passively in the future. Moreover even does not consider these, Hao Ren still knows oneself actually and have no place of opposition he is not vampire Werewolf such „different kind” with Demon Hunter, as the referendary he from the beginning is the independent, but happen to first adopted one group of demons and monsters to cause itself to contact time many to have with Demon Hunter selects awkwardly...... 平常的异类在听到有猎魔人活动的时候都是能躲就躲的,事实上郝仁刚开始也是一样但现在他的行事风格有了变化。由于和猎魔人多次接触,再加上经历的生死关头已经不少,如今郝仁更习惯去想更加积极一些的解决办法,必要的情况下他甚至会选择主动跟猎魔人接触,以避免自己在将来陷入被动。而且即便不考虑这些,郝仁也知道自己其实跟猎魔人并没什么对立的地方他又不是吸血鬼狼人那样的“异类”,作为审查官他从一开始就是中立派的,只不过正好自己先收养了一帮妖魔鬼怪才导致自己跟猎魔人接触的时候多少有那么点尴尬…… The decision of Vivian to Hao Ren also has no opinion, she attitude to Demon Hunter is basically indifferent, therefore nods then follows to walk toward the town end in Hao Ren behind. 薇薇安对郝仁的决定也没什么意见,她对猎魔人的态度基本上是无所谓的,所以点了点头便跟在郝仁身后向镇子尽头走去。 Quick, they then arrived at that black hill halfway up the mountainside while the curtain of night, the path in small town terminated here. 很快,他们便趁着夜幕来到了那座黑色小山的半山腰,小镇的道路在这里终止。 A stockade keeps off in front of Hao Ren, the stockade extends to both sides and has vanished in the deep nighttime, making one unable to bear suspect that it and summit separates the entire town. Stockade one side is in the town the brilliantly illuminated construction, but another side dark hillside, looks to that dark one side, can see several buildings indistinctly are dormant in the curtain of night, before that is, through the Mobile Data Terminal bird's eye view angle of view observed several abandoned houses. 一道栅栏挡在郝仁面前,栅栏向两旁延伸出去并一直消失在深沉的黑夜里,让人忍不住怀疑它是不是把整个镇子都和山顶隔断开来。栅栏这一侧是镇子里灯火通明的建筑,而另一侧则只有黑沉沉的山坡,向那黑暗的一侧看去,可以看到几座影影绰绰的建筑物在夜幕中蛰伏着,那就是之前通过数据终端的俯瞰视角观察到的几座废屋。 The path end has the rusty stain stained fence gate together, in the gate is hanging a red post sign, above is no entry inscription. Hao Ren went forward to shake the fence gate, transmitted one made the person of tooth acid metal fricative: Perhaps this many years has not opened, all hinges had been stuck fully by the rust. 道路尽头有一道锈迹斑斑的栅栏门,门上挂着一个红色的贴牌子,上面是禁止通行的字样。郝仁上前晃了晃栅栏门,传来一阵令人牙酸的吱吱嘎嘎的金属摩擦声:这门恐怕已经很多年没有打开过了,所有铰链都已经被铁锈糊满。 Vivian has a look at all around, after periphery determining no one, bang turned into thick fog and bats, Pū lā lā flew the opposite across the stockade, but Hao Ren leaps to directly, jumped over two meters high parapet dexterously. 薇薇安看看四周,确定周围没人之后嘭地一声变成了一片浓雾和蝙蝠,扑啦啦地穿过栅栏飞到了对面,而郝仁则直接向上一跃,轻轻巧巧地跳过了两米多高的栏杆。 „We should ask the native to inquire before,” Hao Ren spoke thoughtlessly to bat group said, „asks their why town end must block with the fence gate, people from other place curious this should no.” “咱们之前应该找当地人打听打听来着,”郝仁随口对身边的蝙蝠群说道,“问问他们为什么镇子尽头要用栅栏门挡住,外地人好奇这个应该没啥吧。” „Belated action,” Vivian came from a bat group, „tomorrow will say again. I saw that several abandoned houses that you said that did we pass......?” “马后炮,”薇薇安从一片蝙蝠群里现身,“明天再说吧。我看见你说的那几座废屋了,咱们过去……嗯？” Hao Ren stares: „What's wrong?” 郝仁一愣:“怎么了？” Vivian is knitting the brows to look to an abandoned house: „That side has the aura of living person probably.”( To be continued.) 薇薇安皱着眉看向其中一座废屋:“那边好像有活人的气息。”(未完待续。)
