Jason ran desperately, and even though a ray of sunlight had already shone on him, he did not notice at all. At some point, his two comrades had disappeared. At the last moment, they even injected water mixed with the ashes of the dead into themselves, in order to turn themselves into slaves of vampires. According to the agreement, Jason did not turn back. He just tried his best to run to a bar.

This is a typical bar in the inner world. When witch hunters from all over the world pass by, they will rest here, replenish supplies, and exchange information. Most of the people who run this bar are top witch hunters. As a fixed gathering point, the bar naturally contains various defense systems. No non-human life cannot enter the bar.

Although it is open for 24 hours a day, there are obviously no customers in the early morning. There is only a young girl wiping the table and chairs. Her name is Aisha, and she is the daughter of the bar owner. His father is also a witch hunter. But in a battle many years ago, I was seriously injured by my right leg. With his physical disability, he naturally could not continue to engage in witch hunting.

However, with the help of some comrades, he opened this bar specifically for the witch hunters. Over time, it became a customary gathering place for the witch hunters. Many witch hunters with heritage used various means to help strengthen the bar's defense, making it impossible for most dark creatures to enter here. Jason pushed the door open, and the young girl did not look back. She just greeted her.

"Sit down casually, you have to wait for breakfast for a while." But the person behind him did not respond. There was only a plop. The girl turned around and saw that Jason was already lying on the ground and unconscious.

"Come and help me." The little girl shouted. Two young men walked out of the room.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, it's like this as soon as he comes in."

"This is Jason. They have been dealing with a vampire case before. The four people who can't get through it seem like they have failed. I don't know what happened?"

"I said, can you discuss these issues later? Help me help him on the bed."

It has been a month since Lin Xuan summoned Crowley with the magic circle. Caitlin still repeats boring and heavy training every day. But she has no complaints. As Lin Xuan said, her enlightenment lesson is the legendary witch hunter vs. the black wizard. It is a bit too high-end. This makes her have a deeper understanding of the world and a clearer understanding of her weakness.

"Demon hunting is the most dangerous job in the world. No one can guarantee that he will survive the next task. However, in order to increase the chance of survival, the demon hunter must receive a lot of practical training. This is a dead cycle, because the so-called practical training is essentially performing the demon hunting mission.

To be honest, your strength is still far from me. But we don’t have enough time, so I can only start your practical training in advance. In the next time, you will spend it in actual combat. This is your last chance to quit. You can think about it."

"There is no need to give me the task. I'll start right away."

"About three days ago, the town's ranger disappeared. The rescue team found the bloodstains of him, but no body was found. They judged that he was dragged away by the bear. But I can tell you that it is not. This is a case in the world. An ogre came here."

"Ogre? A man-eating monster? It's the same thing that killed my father?"

"There is no comparison. Although I haven't seen the thing you said with my own eyes. But from your description, it should be a ghoul. That thing is more than one level higher than an ogre. And the most important thing is that ghouls are pure dark creatures. They are formed by corpses, eroded by the power of darkness. But ogres are different. In essence, they also belong to humans."

"Man? They are not dark creatures?"

"This is an ancient and dark story. The origin of the ogre was around the Middle Ages. Wars, plagues, led to severe insufficient productivity. A large number of poor people were hungry. Food was everything in that era."

"Did they eat people?" Caitlin had just said what Lin Xuan was going to say next.

"Yes, as a modern person, you have never experienced real hunger. But in that era, when people were hungry, they could do everything. They included eating people. It was a crazy era. Darkness and blood were so naked in the sun."

"Is it because of human beings? But in the longer-era primitive era, this phenomenon was the same. Why do we have to emphasize that it originated in the Middle Ages?"

"Haha, what kind of person do you mean is a bad person?"

"It's hard to simply define it. As a policeman, in my opinion, those who hurt others. Robbers, rapists, thieves, and murderers are all bad people."

"The standard official statement. But in my opinion, except for the rapist, what you said is wrong. Because in my opinion, they are just criminals, not necessarily bad people. If a father robs for the medical expenses of his child, then he violates the law, but he cannot be considered a bad person. A murderer killed his enemy in order to avenge his close relatives. Then he also violates the law. But he still cannot be said to be a bad person.

Only those who rob for drugs, rape, and steal for money. These people commit crimes only for their own sake. They are the real bad guys. Otherwise they just violate the law. Do you agree with this statement?”

"As a policeman, I can't say that I agree. And there will always be other ways to solve the problem. It doesn't have to be a crime. Although from a sensory point of view, I may also have a little bit of recognition."

"Yes. So, Caitlyn, you are a good person. But at the same time, you should know that there are never so many ways in this world."

"...But what does this topic you talk about have to do with it?" Caitlin, who was in charge of his identity as a policeman, was unwilling to continue with this topic.

"It's a little bit. Eating people is a taboo. It's an absolute taboo at any level. But there is a prerequisite for this taboo. That is whether your heart truly surrenders to that darkness."

"I don't understand, it sounds a bit idealistic."

"This is the inner world, you have to start learning to accept these things. In the primitive era, people were not productive enough. For them, everything they could eat was food. This was not dark, just for survival."

"But those hungry poor people are also trying to survive."

"It's different. The people in the Middle Ages already had complete values. They knew that eating people was a sin. So even for survival, they would commit this sin. But they would pray in their hearts. Pray for existence in the dark and forgive their sins."

"I probably understand. Not everyone has this sense of guilt, right? Some people may be immersed in this terrible thing. They have lost the motivation to chase other ways out and have completely fallen into their own darkness. These are these people you want to talk about?"

"You are smart Caitlyn. There are many people in this world who are smart or think they are smart. But few people can understand a simple truth. They think that living and living as a person is an innate right. They squander this right arbitrarily. No one has ever thanked himself for being born human. But those monsters who fall into darkness envy humans. Because in this world, only humans live in the sun."

"Do those cannibals become what you call ogre because of their own hearts and depravity? Why is this happening? Is it some kind of magic? Or curses or something?"

"First of all, most curses can be classified as branches of magic. Secondly, this situation is much stronger than magic. You can understand it as a program, a program that is implanted in people and souls at the same time. When certain specific conditions are triggered, these programs will be started. This is a more advanced method than magic, and this is the authority of the Creator."

"So ogres are those guys who fell into depravity because of cannibalism. What are they? And are the ogres now born in the Middle Ages?"

"In essence, they are just a kind of distorted creature. Because there are some special things. For example, they are afraid of the sun. But it must be emphasized that the sun cannot really hurt them. But they just cannot appear in the sun. It is like a kind of fear originating from the soul. Also, they cannot eat any food and can only eat human flesh. The memories of their lifetime are all there, but they are ruled by another darker thinking. That is, the kind of cannibalism deep in their hearts.

It also takes time for the ogre to fall. There is a saying that if a potential ogre has not yet completely transformed and has a descendant, then this bloodline will be passed on to his descendants. As his bloodline spreads, people with ogre bloodline will truly fall once they succumb to the evil thoughts in their hearts."

"Is there no way to stop this transformation?"

"I said it earlier. This is not an ordinary curse, it is the punishment of the Creator. In fact, no one can tell the potential ogre bloodline at all.

There was once a saying that if an ogre can restrain himself and no longer eat people, then it will gradually become weak and eventually die. But before he dies, its consciousness will return to the original human consciousness, and even undergo reverse transformation. Finally, it dies as a person. But the reason why legends are legends is because no one has ever seen them."

After Lin Xuan said that, Caitlin remained silent. According to Lin Xuan, the ogre is only one of the lowest monsters in the dark world. But it is this lowest monster, whose origin history has deeply shocked Caitlin. It was not until this moment that Caitlin understood why Lin Xuan had to use the word "inside world". It turned out that it was really a completely different world.

Ogres are not powerful. But they are just what other dark creatures say. In fact, the speed and power of this kind of thing are still above ordinary people. Moreover, in order to avoid the sun, the dens they choose are usually in dense jungles. This makes it a little more difficult to track them.

High boots, windbreaker, strong light flashlight, large-caliber shotguns, flash bombs...a lot of jungle war equipment. Caitlin prepared enough. Lin Xuan just watched from beginning to end without saying a word. Just as he said, this was Caitlin's mission. She decided everything.

At this time, Jason had gradually recovered his consciousness. He did not think of where he was in the movie, and he subconsciously pulled out his gun. He clearly remembered that he had returned to the bar. But at the same time, more images also appeared in his mind.

"Don't argue anymore, Jason. Think of your daughter. He is waiting for you to come home. Remember our promise and keep running, don't look back." This is the last farewell left by his teammates.

"Stay running, don't look back. Stay running, don't look back..." Jason lay on the bed, repeating the sentence constantly. The tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled. At this time, the door opened.

"You are awake. Although the timing may be wrong. But I think you should have something to tell us?"

Those who came in were three young men, the little girl in the bar, Elsa, and two young men who looked a little similar and looked brotherly. Jason looked a little familiar at first glance, but he just couldn't remember seeing her there. But since he appeared in this bar, he should undoubtedly be the witch hunter. Thinking of this, he wiped some tears from the corners of his eyes and told in detail the entire process of his mission together.

"Those vampires are crazy. They not only develop their descendants without limits, but also store a lot of blood, and even treat us as a coach of the young vampires. They are training the army. Although they don't know why, something must have happened."

As he told, the young brothers looked at each other. A kind of worry flashed in their eyes. Jason noticed their movements.

"What's wrong, what do you know?"

"We don't know much. But we also found some unusual places. Before we came here, we handled a demon possession incident in Texas."

"Real demon possession? That's very rare."

"It's true, we contacted all the witch hunters who were able to contact. Do you know what problem we found?"

"There are more demonic incidents?"

"Yes, there have been about thirty recorded demon possession incidents over the past decade, with an average of three per year. But in the past nine months this year, the data that we can count on the two of us alone has been as high as twelve."
