Chapitre 84: Hunter 84: A Thousand-Mile Chase
In the team's private channel, five people were conversing:
Gentle Youth: "This Vampire Hunter Red, who never appeared in the original story, is a Contractor. And he left a deep impression on the protagonist, who trusts him quite a bit."
Summer Flame: "Exactly! When ruins were discovered in Europe, both JoJo and Speedwagon thought inviting him would be a good choice."
Gentle Glory: "How did this guy manage that?"
White Sand: "Do you think this Red might be here in Rome too? This could be the beginning of his journey with the protagonist."
Linda: "That's right! Brother White is correct. We could try to find this Red, and maybe we'll learn how to integrate into the protagonist's group."
Summer Flame: "This Contractor can't possibly be in Rome."
Linda: "Huh???"
Gentle Youth: "Sister Flame is right, this Contractor called Red can't be in Rome. Because JoJo and Speedwagon mentioned contacting him through the Speedwagon Foundation. Given that, how could he possibly be in Rome."
Gentle Glory: "Are you saying that JoJo and the others don't know where this Contractor is?"
White Sand: "This doesn't make sense at all! That guy had the chance to join the protagonist's group, he should be traveling with JoJo!"
If Lin Jiu could hear this conversation among the five-person Contractor team, he would only sneer. At this point, JoJo and Caesar were nothing more than burdens to him, so why would he travel with them?
Gentle Youth and the others apologized in a gentle tone, and with two beautiful women in the team - one older and one younger - they managed to ease the atmosphere. They also chatted about some legendary stories they knew to build rapport.
They didn't dare to share more information with JoJo and the other two, as such behavior would usually cause the plot to spiral out of control, forcibly increasing the difficulty of their mission.
Before heading to Europe, Speedwagon had also contacted Lin Jiu through the Speedwagon Foundation.
"Old man, what did that guy say!"
JoJo was already eager to see Caesar get beaten up.
However, the result would disappoint JoJo. Speedwagon said: "He's busy with something and declined."
"Heh, I bet he's just too scared to come. What professional Vampire Hunter, it's all nonsense, only some fools would believe that!"
Caesar mocked mercilessly.
Speedwagon said: "He has already appeared in Europe. According to the news from Stroheim, someone was trying to get to the ruins. Luckily, Red discovered it in time."
The reason for rejecting the invitation from the protagonist's group was that Lin Jiu had more important matters at hand, namely hunting down the Contract Violator.
After killing Santana and leaving, Lin Jiu was contemplating where Contract Violator No. 22321 might appear.
The most likely location was Europe, where the remains of the three ancient Pillar Men were discovered, and also the site of the final battle. Another possibility was Venice, where Lisa Lisa's Hamon Warrior training ruins were located.
After consideration, Lin Jiu felt that Europe had the highest probability. The Contract Violator was surely different from ordinary Contractors; normal Contractors wouldn't think of messing with monsters like Kars.
But low-level Contract violators thought differently. Having obtained special abilities, they often considered themselves chosen ones, unique existences among Contractors.
Unique indeed!
Mainly in the sense that they couldn't die fast enough!
Of course, all these speculations were based on the assumption that Contract Violator No. 22321's mind was still functioning normally, and not invaded by some strange creature.
As it turned out, Lin Jiu's speculation was correct. He successfully caught this Contract Violator No. 22321 in Europe. The method was simple - this Contract Violator had appeared in Europe to get to the ruins.
Lin Jiu only needed to investigate a few areas strictly controlled by the German army, coupled with the Reincarnation Pradise's one-kilometer detection, and he quickly found the location of Contract Violator No. 22321.
Here, he naturally wouldn't waste energy. He directly contacted Stroheim, letting the German army set up an ambush to surround this Contract Violator.
However, the fact that he's now in pursuit indicates that he didn't manage to kill Contract Violator No. 22321 on the first attempt. This was mainly because Stroheim insisted that this Vampire Hunter Red should witness their world's finest German technology, saying there was no need for him to act!
But things went wrong during the ambush. The Contract Violator wasn't an undead creature like Kars, but his body had the characteristic of rapid recovery. If it were just this, he would have been torn apart by the bullet storm from Stroheim's subordinates!
It wasn't that simple. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Contract Violator No. 22321 used some unknown method to break out of the encirclement and flee quickly. Lin Jiu didn't even get a chance to act.
From what could be seen, the opponent had some strange physical attributes, rather than being a bug-exploiting type of Contract Violator. His successful escape was also related to his absorption of blood and flesh from some German soldiers. This explains why this guy was coming after Kars and the others.
Faced with Lin Jiu's gaze, Stroheim gave an embarrassed smile, saying something about the depths of military affairs being hard to grasp... and so on.
Lin Jiu ignored the joking Stroheim and used the blood left behind by the Contract Violator to start tracking with his Hunter's Leather Armor.
This Contract Violator was also running incredibly fast. Lin Jiu only managed to corner him once on the European battlefield.
The scene at that time was as follows:
"Hehe, you, an ordinary Contractor, chase after me alone! Although I don't know how you got into the German army, coming alone, are you looking to die!"
Contract Violator No. 22321, Jade Forest, sneered as he discovered he was being tracked by a Contractor.
Lin Jiu smiled and said: "Aren't you severely injured? I'm here to pick up an easy win!"
"Hahaha, even if I'm severely injured, I'm more than enough for you!"
Jade Forest laughed wildly.
Lin Jiu frowned: "You seem so confident, do you have an ace up your sleeve?"
"Hmph! I am immortal! If it weren't for you letting the German army interfere, I would have already devoured those three guys and become a true ultimate being!"
At this point, Jade Forest glared at Lin Jiu with a face full of anger.
"I see..."
Lin Jiu muttered. It seemed this Contract Violator's abilities were produced by constantly using some kind of foreign species power similar to the undead.
Half a minute later!
"Big bro, I was wrong!"
"Big bro, stop cutting!"
"I'm about to lose it!"
"I'll say it again, I'm losing it!"
"This is too much! If I wasn't severely injured, you wouldn't even dream of beating me! Just you wait!"
In the end, this Contract Violaotr still managed to escape. Jade Forest's ability wasn't strong in combat, but he had considerable recovery power and high health. The key was his miraculous escape ability, like an evolved version of Muzan Kibutsuji's!
Although using this ability twice in succession came at a huge cost, it allowed him to successfully escape from Europe.
However, this encounter allowed the Hunter's Leather Armor to collect a large amount of aura. Lin Jiu didn't know the exact location, but he could sense the direction through the Hunter's Leather Armor. A long-distance hunt began.
...
...
"Who are you two!"
Lisa Lisa was attracted by the sounds of fighting. The private island she was on was the training ground passed down through generations of Hamon Warriors, so she naturally rushed over as soon as intruders were detected.
Lin Jiu had no time to deal with Lisa Lisa, focusing entirely on dealing with Contract Violator No. 22321. He had already spent several days on this guy, he had to finish him off here.
Lin Jiu had roughly figured out the pattern, or conditions, of the opponent's peculiar escape method. In other words, deliberately cornering him at this time, meant that Contract Violator No. 22321 was currently unable to use his escape ability.
"Hamon user, this guy is here to steal the Red Stone of Aja!"
Jade Forest naturally knew that he was currently unable to use that special move, so he appeared here hoping to use others to obstruct his opponent.
Because he really couldn't win. Previously, he only thought he couldn't beat the other party because he was surrounded by the German army and severely injured. Later, during the escape process, as he recovered from his injuries, he immediately perked up and went back to cause trouble for the other party.
This operation made Lin Jiu reveal a kind smile, drawing out [Dawn Shadow] for a round of hospitality.
All that hard work recovering along the way, only to be back to square one. The situation was even worse no.!
Hearing the words of the man being beaten above, Lisa Lisa immediately became alert.
