Starting from The Witcher, he slaughtered his way across the world.
Chapter 8 Demons and Witchers
At this moment, Luo Fan had too many questions in his mind.
What exactly is a demonic corpse?
And what kind of world is this?
He didn't seem to be disliked by the young man, and after thinking for a moment, he cautiously asked, "Sir, what exactly is this demonic corpse? Why have I never encountered one before...?"
"My name is Calvin."
Calvin chuckled at Luo Fan's question: "If you had encountered the demonic corpse back then, would you even be alive today?"
Luo Fan was speechless; that was indeed true.
"Even if you knew, what could you do? Anyway... never mind, I think you're pretty pleasing to the eye, and since I've got nothing better to do, I'll just chat with you."
Calvin took a ration bag from his pocket, pulled out two yellow wheat breads, and tossed one to each of Lovan and Kant.
He picked one up himself, took a bite, and then spoke.
"We generally refer to these demonic corpses as 'demons,' also known as 'demonic spirits.' These demonic spirits have existed for many years. The reason why you ordinary people don't know about the existence of demons is because there are specialized demon hunters who deal with them."
"At the same time, we are also intentionally preventing more people from knowing about the existence of evil spirits."
Calvin paused for a moment, then ate his wheat bread in a few bites, waiting for Luo Fan and the others to digest the information in those few words.
Anyway?
Anyway what?
Luo Fan was puzzled but didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he asked, "Why did you try to stop it?"
As if he had been waiting for this question, Calvin chuckled: "Of course it's for your own good. Isn't it better to live in ignorance? If all ordinary people knew that a terrifying demon could threaten their lives at any moment, wouldn't they live in constant fear?"
Luo Fan fell silent, a question suddenly coming to mind.
Do you live in constant fear and anxiety, knowing the truth of this world, or do you live in ignorance, knowing nothing at all?
If there were no enhancement panel available, he would probably choose the latter.
But having the enhanced panel, he naturally needs to know the truth about this world.
"Of course, that's not the main reason."
Calvin said calmly.
"Demons are beings created by heaven and earth. They feed on the negative emotions of the world. The more people know about demons, the more demons will be born. However, ordinary people make up the majority of this world. If news of demons spreads among these groups, it will have terrible consequences."
"We will not allow this to happen, which is why ordinary people are unaware of demonic possession."
"Demons are born endlessly, and demon hunters hunt them generation after generation. In places unknown to you ignorant ordinary people, this battle has been going on for many years."
Calvin paused, picked up the water pouch, and took a sip of water.
Luo Fan was processing this information, and his emotions were fluctuating.
Demons and Witchers, this world is indeed extraordinary; it is clearly a world with supernatural powers.
At the same time, it is also a rather dangerous world!
"Is it impossible to eradicate evil spirits?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Cough... Extinction?"
Calvin choked on his water, caught his breath, and then sneered, "If demons could truly be eradicated, then the whole world should be celebrating. Demons are created by heaven and earth; do you know how irrational that is?"
"Humans and demons are already inextricably linked, or rather, humans are the precursors to demons!"
His words startled Luo Fan.
"After a person dies, the evil energy of heaven and earth will pollute their soul, giving birth to demons. Once a person becomes a demon, they will no longer be human, but a bloodthirsty monster!"
"Take this demonic corpse, for example. Its original form was just a dead body, corrupted by evil energy, yet it came back to life and became incredibly powerful. Does that make sense?"
His tone became more intense, but it also carried a hint of indignation and helplessness.
"We humans are the culprits that give rise to demons. All sorts of negative emotions are nourishment for demons, the root of this evil. Greed, sloth, envy, anger, lust, gluttony... But if humans didn't have these seven emotions and six desires, would they still be human?"
"The appearance of evil spirits is impossible to eradicate; in fact, it's getting worse, especially..."
"Enough, Calvin, stop talking!"
At this moment, Strand's strong voice interrupted Calvin, who was about to continue speaking.
"You're hurting them."
He glanced at Calvin indifferently.
Calvin fell silent, then smiled apologetically at Luo Fan: "Sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment. These are things you really shouldn't know."
"No, no, thank you for letting me know so many things I didn't know before."
Luo Fan quickly shook his head.
Calvin smiled knowingly: "You're welcome, it was just a casual chat."
Luo Fan always felt that his smile had a hidden meaning, and he also remembered that at the beginning, he seemed to have something he didn't say.
Stellan looked at Luo Fan and calmly said, "Don't ask any more questions about the demonic spirits. The more you know, the less we can save you. Demonic spirits are taboo for ordinary people like you. The more you know about them, the more they will target you."
"Living without knowing anything may not be a bad thing."
"You should even be thankful that you only encountered a low-level demonic corpse, which was not tainted with much evil energy and would not attract much attention from the demons."
His calm voice faded as he finished speaking.
Luo Fan's heart tightened. The more he knew about the demonic spirit, the more likely he was to be targeted by it.
So he timely suppressed his curiosity and asked with some reverence, "Are you gentlemen the legendary Witcher?"
Strand did not reply.
The cold-hearted woman turned her head away.
Calvin chuckled and shook his head. "You overestimate us. Witchers are incredibly powerful. A demonic corpse like this could be crushed with a single finger by a Witcher. But we are indeed on the path to becoming Witchers."
Luo Fan's eyes widened in surprise.
To be honest, if the demonic corpse from earlier hadn't had that weakness to fire, it would have been a complete disaster for an ordinary person.
Whether it's speed, strength, or defense, even a few well-equipped guards can only flee for their lives when they encounter it.
And the Witcher in Calvin's story was able to kill the demon corpse with no effort at all?
Just how amazing does that have to be?
A flicker of anticipation welled up within him: "Lord Calvin, how does one become a Witcher?"
After hearing Calvin's story, he was deeply disturbed. In this dangerous world, without any means of self-defense, one would likely be easily killed.
If I could become a powerful Witcher, I should be able to protect myself, right?
"You want to become a witcher?"
Calvin looked at Lovan with great interest.
Luo Fan nodded sincerely: "After listening to your story, I developed this ambition, mainly because I want to protect myself."
"Having ambition is a good thing. But just think about it and forget about it. The probability of an ordinary person becoming a Witcher is extremely low. Let alone becoming a Witcher, even becoming a Witcher apprentice like us is not an easy thing to do."
