Chapter 191 Dream People Meeting
"Never heard of it." Su Ming shook his head.
"I have only heard of this profession but have never seen it, let alone come into contact with anyone who does this job. In fact, most of the rumors about bounty hunters only appear on the Internet." Xia Xiaoyu patiently explained the source of the information.
Su Ming frowned and thought, muttering to himself: "Urban legend? It can't be verified, and it can't be used in the industry. What's the use for me?"
"It's useful! Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is a great idea. Even if there is no such profession in the world, we can create one~
The reason why the Monster Hunter is just an urban legend, as far as I can think of, is probably due to several reasons.
The first is that there is no benefit for ordinary people to hunt monsters. Even if you kill the subway stalker like you did, the Bureau of Investigation rarely gives out sky-high bonuses. Instead, it chooses to invite you to join the Bureau. Compared to individual hunting of monsters, the Bureau of Investigation encourages collective action.
Second, if you want to do this job, you must have strange information, but most of the strange information is in the hands of the Investigation Bureau and cannot be known to non-official personnel.
Third, if you want to hire a large number of powerful psychics to fight monsters, you need a lot of money, and basically no one can afford this money, because bounty hunting is not actually a positive profit cycle. Hunting monsters rarely yields special containment items, and most of the time they are simply eliminated.
So, based on the above information! I think the bounty hunter thing should be an urban rumor made up on the Internet, and its prototype is very obvious! "
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Su Ming with a half-smile, her eyes seemed to be saying "Guess."
Su Ming also vaguely sensed the answer, and answered half-affirmatively and half-hesitantly:
"The prototype is... the Investigation Bureau?"
"That's right! Paying money to hire people with special abilities to fight monsters, isn't this the Investigation Bureau? In this world, apart from the Investigation Bureau, there is no other force that can get involved in this industry!
But we are different!
I can get a lot of money, and I can also sneak into the archives of the Investigation Bureau and search for archival materials at will. There must be a brave man under a large reward. With the right funds, it is not impossible to set up a bounty guild by simulating the Investigation Bureau.
If you succeed, wouldn't it be much easier for you to hunt monsters?"
Su Ming stared at Xia Xiaoyu blankly, and after a long while he managed to say, "Are you a genius?"
"Ah? I remember I seemed to have said that...I am one of them." Xia Xiaoyu blinked, looking confused.
Su Ming also blinked, not knowing how to answer. He thought Xia Xiaoyu was joking at that time. After all, there was no sign of a genius in Xia Xiaoyu. Her behavior was quite normal. Except for being too proactive towards boys, she was just like an ordinary girl.
And according to Su Ming's observation, she didn't seem to have any interest in studying academic issues.
But now, Su Ming felt that maybe what Xia Xiaoyu said was true. Her train of thought was a little special. Ordinary people would not think of using their own skin to make a cloak, nor would they think of spending money to create a bounty guild.
It turns out that geniuses are different.
"Let's give it a try then. If this method is feasible, there is really no need to stay in the Investigation Bureau." Su Ming said.
Excellent!
Xia Xiaoyu smiled and clenched her fist quietly.
This is her victory. As long as Su Ming leaves the Investigation Bureau, won’t she have the final say on what to do next?
Whether it's money or information, she needs to get it all. If Su Ming wants to continue to implement this plan, he can't do without her. By then, it's not certain who will chase whom.
"Oh, by the way! Let's go to the movies after we get out. I saw a movie called "I'm So Weird" is going to be released soon, and it has very high reviews on Bihu." Xia Xiaoyu suddenly said.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "But, it's not certain whether we can get out or not."
"Of course we can get out! As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to get out! The Black Gate was also quite difficult before, but we still got out. Things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a way. Don't have negative thoughts!" Xia Xiaoyu said clearly.
"Why are you so optimistic all of a sudden?"
Seeing Xia Xiaoyu like this, Su Ming couldn't help laughing. There was no other way. This silly and cheerful spirit was too contagious.
"It's nothing, I just felt that the minister was too powerful. Suddenly, I felt that maybe the dreamers and plague messengers in this world might not be very strong, it's just that we are too weak." Xia Xiaoyu said with his head tilted.
Su Ming keenly grasped the key point in this sentence and said in surprise: "Minister? You saw the minister!"
"Well, I saw the minister come to this city today. She had a fight with the woman next to you on the street," Xia Xiaoyu glanced at An Xilier, "and the minister won. She killed them several times."
Su Ming looked at Xia Xiaoyu and was stunned.
…
Three days later, the people in the dream arrived at their usual gathering day again.
In the spacious hall, hundreds of dream knights stood on the left and right. There were two seats at the highest position in the center. Jin Yumin sat on one seat, and the seat next to it was in the air.
At this moment, a large group of ordinary people were slowly leaving the hall.
This is where the dreamers hold a meeting. Those ordinary people who are about to leave are clergymen responsible for managing the city. They are loyal believers of the Dream Religion and are responsible for government functions in this city, maintaining order in the city and ensuring stable economic operation.
When all the ordinary clergy left, only the Dreamers were left here, the most devout and powerful believers of the God of Dreams.
Ansiriel, Grantham, George, and two others walked to the center of the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported to Jin Yumin what happened three days ago.
They had a fierce confrontation with an outsider in the city, and then - lost.
"What was that person's attack method?" Jin Yumin asked.
George: "It seems that an invisible shock wave can be used to cause penetrating injuries to the human body."
Granson: "And our sword energy couldn't cause any effective damage to her. Although she lost a lot of blood, her combat effectiveness was not affected at all."
Ansiriel thought for a moment and added, "That woman's swordsmanship is very advanced, and she can fix her blood into the shape of a weapon. The strength is not low. We can't cut this weapon made of blood with our swords."
Jin Yumin nodded and asked again: "At that time, there were so many of you, but you all lost. Do you know what people in the city will think of this?"
"I'm so sorry! I'm willing to take any punishment!"
The three of them bowed their heads and spoke in unison.
"Forget it. This kind of punishment is unnecessary. After all, it was an unprepared battle. I just want to ask, if you had gone through the sanctification ceremony at that time, would you have the confidence to kill the opponent alone?"
“Have faith!”
"I have confidence! I can definitely kill him!"
Grantham and George said without hesitation.
Ansiriel hesitated for a moment, then said, "Me too!"
"Well, then you choose one person and ask the painter to draw a portrait for him. Then send out the wanted order. If everything goes well, you can leave."
Ansiriel and the other two were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that this defeat could be turned around so easily. It was very brief and ended in just a few words.
It seemed that Jin Yumin did not express any thoughts on this. In his eyes, this matter seemed insignificant.
The other two retreated back to the line. Ansiriel hesitated for a moment and stood in the center of the hall again.
"My Lord, I have an idea that I want to share with you."
She spoke up and offered Su Ming's opinion to Jin Yumin... on her own behalf, of course.
"What do you think?"
“Thoughts on Hope Teach.”
Ansiriel raised her head slightly and secretly observed the changes in Jin Yumin's expression. When he heard the three words "I hope to teach", his eyes flickered obviously. This was a good sign.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"yes!"
Ansiriel spent five minutes describing Su Ming's ideas in a concise and clear manner. In the meantime, Jin Yumin also raised some questions, and the questions he raised were exactly the same questions that Ansiriel had asked Su Ming at that time.
So when faced with these problems, Ansiriel explained them all with very reasonable reasons. Her ideas also aroused heated discussions among other people in the dream, and the hall suddenly became a little chaotic.
At first, no one else agreed with Ansiriel's idea, but gradually, as sharp questions were raised one after another and the difficulties in implementation were solved one after another, the people in the dream in the hall were now divided into two factions, and their opinions were evenly divided.
"So, you think we should take the initiative to eliminate the Church of Hope?" Jin Yumin asked condescendingly while sitting in his seat.
"I think this might be a good idea. After all, facts have proved that those outsiders have become stronger." Ansiriel answered honestly.
Jin Yumin leaned on the armrest of the chair with one hand, thought for a while, and nodded:
"That does make sense, at least it's worth implementing. The Plague Cult's recent activities are very far away from our town, which proves that the God of Plague is afraid of the great God of Dreams.
It would be great if we could defeat the Church of Hope without being disturbed by the people from the Church of Plague."
Ansiriel was slightly delighted, raised her head, and asked calmly, "What do you mean, sir?"
"Let's find the necessary village location first, and then activate the moving castle. I hope those people I taught can escape quickly. Since we are taking action, we must be foolproof." Jin Yumin stood up from his chair and said slowly, "When the time comes, I will go too."
This was the answer that Ansiriel wanted to hear. Jin Yumin's seriousness about this plan even exceeded her initial expectations.
Ansiriel bowed her head respectfully and stood up to step aside.
At this moment, Jin Yumin spoke again: "Anxilier, did you deal with your male lover last time?"
Ansiriel's heart skipped a beat and she looked up at the other party in surprise. Jin Yumin's eyes were cold and his expression was as heavy as a rock.
