Originally, Vivian was ready to finish work and go home, but then she suddenly heard news that piqued her curiosity. She looked steadily at Kasa Eben and asked, "I haven't been active outside for over a hundred years... What exactly has happened?"

"I'm not sure about the specifics." Since both sides were no longer going to continue the fight, Vivian, the 'senior' who had been dominant, voluntarily decided to stop. Kasa Eben's cooperation was much more evident now. "The changes began a hundred to two hundred years ago. Initially, a group of sea monster descendants risked being hunted by demon hunters to come to the land. They claimed to have received some kind of enlightenment in the deep sea and wanted to gather the power of their race that had been stranded in the mythological era. You all know about plate tectonics, right? Due to these geological activities, some sea monster territories from the end of the mythological era have now actually become coastal land. There, remnants of sea monsters can be found. Those water-dwellers flooded into coastal cities in Asia, Europe, and America in large numbers, even causing panic in the church. They thought the anomalies were going to launch a counterattack from the sea."

"Sea monsters... I know, they seem to be the group least affected by demon hunters, living in the deep sea all the time, and demon hunters can't really eradicate them." Vivian looked pensive. "Sea monsters are very closed off, hardly ever interacting with the outside world. There were rarely any collective landings during the mythological era. It can be said that they are the slowest to respond to changes in the outside world. What happened to that group of sea monsters later on?"

"Oh, some were sold to plantations in America and factories in Europe, some were killed by demon hunters, and some encountered the North-South War when they landed on the Mississippi River. A small part retreated to the deep sea, while the rest were mostly taken care of by humans."

Lin Feng: "..."

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then said with a long "Oh": "Oh... It's quite in line with those detached folks."

"Sea monsters have always been like this. No matter what happens, they can always return to the water. So, they have a lazy and casual personality. They basically don't succeed in anything they do, but they have never truly failed either." Eun Eben interjected from the side. "But the news brought by the sea monsters from the deep sea quickly spread to several major families. Many families began to gather their people or relics around the world. As you can see, the Eben family has even started searching for scattered werewolves in Asia. In some places, there are even direct conflicts between anomalies and demon hunters, which has rarely happened in the past thousand years."

"Just because they brought back a vague message from the deep sea, you're all making such a big fuss?"

"There must be more than just this bit of intelligence. The elders of the families are not stupid; they must know more." Eun Eben snorted. "But those things are not for us juniors to understand. If you're interested, you can ask your old friends. After all, you're one of the oldest vampires. Technically, I should address you... Forget it, you've finally decided to let us go, I won't push my luck."

"It seems it's time to inquire about some things." Vivian lowered her head thoughtfully. "These years have passed in a daze. It turns out the outside world has undergone such big changes... Huh, humans have regressed too. The whole world is so peaceful."

Listening to Vivian's conversation with the two werewolves, Lin Feng felt a sense of conspiracy coming. He quickly scratched his arm to feign calmness. Just then, he saw Muyun, who was boredly studying a button nearby, and remembered something he wanted to ask: "By the way, you two are authentic werewolves, right? I have something to ask you."

Kasa Eben looked at Lin Feng strangely. He still hadn't figured out what this seemingly ordinary person with some strange abilities, who was with the vampire, was all about. But seeing how he could interact so openly between werewolves and vampires, Kasa decided to consider him as a member of the 'anomalies.' He guessed Lin Feng might be a wizard or something similar.

"Among you werewolves... is there a branch of Huskies?" Lin Feng asked seriously, "Just like how dogs differentiated from wolves, is there a differentiation into Huskies and Chihuahuas among werewolves?"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Eun Eben stared blankly for a few seconds, then finally jumped up, "You can kill but not humiliate! It's fine if you hit people, but now you're clearly showing your intentions... Countess, don't intervene, I want to duel with this man!"

Lin Feng bounced two meters away and raised his data terminal like a weapon, "Put your claws away! I'm just asking casually... There really isn't a Husky branch among werewolves?"

Muyun, who finally heard someone mention him, hurriedly approached with an expectant look. Vivian also looked at the two werewolves with a probing gaze. Kasa and Eun were a bit dumbfounded on the spot. They never expected this insulting question to be serious. Kasa Eben thought for a moment and shook his head firmly, "I've never heard of it. Werewolves and wolves are clearly not comparable. It's fine if you ask this question, but why, Countess... as the oldest vampire, don't you even know this?"

"I don't know." Vivian shook her head, "I don't even know when my title was established."

Kasa Eben recalled the absurd entries in the family records and finally understood what the 'strangest vampire Countess' looked like. He then reiterated that there was absolutely no such branch as Huskies among werewolves.

Muyun suddenly squatted down in disappointment, dug a hole on the ground with his claws, and vented his frustration. Lin Feng quickly squatted down beside him to comfort him. Kasa Eben looked at this seemingly abnormal 'kin' with curiosity, "What's wrong with her?"

Lin Feng chuckled, "Nothing, just the normal pains of constructing a worldview."

"...none of this is normal," Eun Eben muttered, pulling Kasa Eben to leave, "Is there anything else? Are we really leaving? Don't regret it..."

Vivian waved her hand to make the two werewolves leave quickly. However, just as the latter took a few steps out, a strange smell suddenly wafted in from somewhere.

"Click, click," a few light mechanical sounds came from not far away, followed by a flat, emotionless voice from the top of the warehouse, "No need to leave, stay here."

Lin Feng looked up in astonishment and saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance standing on top of the warehouse, pointing a strange gray iron crossbow at Kasa Eben's forehead (he was the biggest after all), with the tip of the arrow on the crossbow shimmering with an unusually bright silver-white light.

Lin Feng finally

 remembered where he had seen a similar weapon before: it was the same shape as the crossbow wielded by Nangong, the half-hearted demon hunter! 

"Demon hunter!?" Kasa Eben exclaimed, instinctively taking two steps back. As he shouted, faint noises came from the roofs of the surrounding factories, and six or seven men and women dressed in black trench coats, expressionless, emerged from nearby rooftops and walls.

Except for the initially appeared middle-aged man who was dressed casually and seemed to be the leader, all the demon hunters were dressed the same: black trench coats, leather jackets underneath, with a belt hung with peculiar tools, holding a strange small crossbow in their hands, and carrying a large crossbow over a meter long on their backs. The most synchronized point was that they all had no expression on their faces.

They looked at Lin Feng and his group with a "working" attitude, just like hunters looking at their prey.

Indeed, they were demon hunters, and this time, they were authentic ones.
