False Alarm?

Kevin didn't know what kind of mood he was in as Weili welcomed him into the house. He sat down on the sofa in the middle of the living room and saw the two abnormal creatures standing in front of him like elementary school students who had done something wrong. Weili's face was embarrassed, while Lily's face, besides embarrassment, also had a hint of sheepishness: "Sorry, landlord. Just now, this winged guy suddenly flew back, and I was so surprised that I forgot to call and tell you..."

"Gun" was rubbing against Kevin's legs without a care in the world. This shameless creature was the most carefree member here. It had no idea what had happened in the past few hours and was now only aware of rubbing against its owner's trousers and making a gurgling sound from its throat.

Kevin waved his hand, and the two superwomen sat down in front of him. This scene suddenly made Kevin feel a sense of pride for no reason: Although my life is messy, my mind is confused, and my future is uncertain, at least I look pretty imposing at this moment, don't you see? Legendary creatures like werewolves and vampires are respectful in front of me... But Kevin was only indulging in this self-satisfaction in his heart. He knew that Lily and Weili were only showing normal courtesy and a little bit of apology, but it was their races that made Kevin a bit confused.

"What happened to you this afternoon that you suddenly flew out?" Kevin thought of the "job" he had just taken over and felt obligated to figure out the actions of these abnormal creatures in his house, so that even if something unexpected happened, he would have a way to explain to Raven 12345.

As an ordinary person, Kevin knew exactly how capable he was. He knew that it was impossible for him to control a werewolf and a vampire for a long time by himself. He had been struggling with how to deal with his future life before, but now that a woman who claimed to be a god had announced that "world peace is the responsibility of the gods", Kevin of course wanted to rely on her as a big backing.

Of course, he also knew that Weili might not trust this human who had known her for just over a day, so he added, "Don't mind. I'm just a little curious. After all, I'm the landlord, and your race is a bit special... I have to know where you went when I can't find you, right? Of course, if you don't want to say, it's fine."

"Actually, it's nothing," Weili bit her lips as if making a decision. "It was just a misunderstanding. I thought some annoying guys were tracking me here, so I wanted to go somewhere far away to deal with them, but later I found out that I was just being paranoid."

"Annoying guys?" Kevin glanced at Lily. "Other werewolves?"

He had a rough idea of what Weili meant by saying "this place isn't safe". It seemed that this vampire had enemies, enemies with long-standing grievances.

"It's not werewolves," Weili looked at Lily with disdain. "Werewolves have been fighting us for hundreds or even thousands of years, but they've never had the upper hand. Although they're troublesome, they're not a serious threat..."

"Say what you want about yourself, but don't drag me into it!" Lily immediately let out a threatening growl from her throat and licked her nails. "If you want to fight again, let's find a place with plenty of bricks and go at it for three hundred rounds..."

Kevin: "...Let's not mention your embarrassing brick-throwing skills, okay? At least try to make werewolves look good!"

Weili ignored Lily and explained seriously, "It's demon hunters, or exorcists, as they're sometimes called."

Kevin's mind flashed back to a bunch of movie titles, and he perked up. "Like Van Helsing and his crew?"

"Don't be silly, that's just from the movies," Weili said without a hint of humor. She looked worried. "I'm talking about real-life demon hunters, half-human creatures who are considered monsters by both humans and us 'abnormals'. Those demon hunters have been fighting us since the beginning of history, and neither side has been able to completely eliminate the other. At first, they acted alone, but somehow, they later started cooperating with ordinary people through various religious organizations... Ugh, they're a real pain."

Kevin couldn't help but touch the pieces of paper in his pocket. He wanted to ask a question from the bottom of his heart: Did that Raven 12345 and the Hiring Empire behind her want him to take care of the "abnormals" at home? But demon hunters sounded like they were fighting to protect humans... Wow, the connections here are too intricate to think about deeply; it's terrifying if you do!

"Landlord? Landlord, what are you thinking about?" Lily's voice brought Kevin back from his reverie. "Are demon hunters really that scary?"

Kevin decided to ask Raven 12345 clearly the next time he saw her, because he just realized that the muddy water he had waded into was not only murky but also quite deep. Looking at Lily's curious expression, he casually asked, "You don't know about demon hunters?"

"No," Lily scratched her head. "I've never encountered them, but I've seen them in movies."

Weili pursed her lips. "I don't know how this guy has grown up so far. I talked to her earlier and found out that she doesn't even know basic common sense. She doesn't know about demon hunters, the classification of vampires, or even the classification of werewolves. She also doesn't know about the historical grievances between humans and abnormals... She's like a blank slate. It's a miracle she's still alive today."

Lily glared angrily at Weili but didn't say anything, clearly acknowledging that what Weili had said was true.

"I really don't know these things, and it's not my fault," Lily muttered while huddled on the sofa. "I've been with humans since I was born, living among them my whole life. I've only heard stories about werewolves from humans... I've never seen any other abnormal besides myself. I searched everywhere when I was younger but couldn't find anyone. I thought I was the only werewolf left in the world. Honestly, these years I've only encountered clues related to abnormals, and this winged guy is the first one I've actually dealt with."

Kevin and Weili stared at Lily in disbelief. After a long silence, the vampire girl muttered to herself, "Poor thing, I'll try not to mock you."

Kevin looked at Lily curiously and asked, "You've never seen other 'abnormals'? Then you shouldn't have any grudge against Weili, right? Why do you always clash with her when you meet?"

Lily was righteous, "TV says vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies! I have to live up to my bloodline!"

Kevin: "..."

Weili: "..."

"I really regret why I got so serious with this guy," Weili finally said after moving her lips a few times. "I've met many werewolves with not enough brains in my life, but I've never seen one this idiotic before!"

"Cough, cough. In short, Lily's life journey is a special case. Let's not discuss it anymore," Kevin quickly cleared his throat to smooth things over. At the same time, he started to worry about the "demon hunters" mentioned by Weili. "Did you sense any demon hunters this afternoon? Was it really just a misunderstanding?"

"Yeah, I've been dealing with them for many years, at least a few hundred years. So I almost have an intuition now. I can sense when there are demon hunters nearby," Weili lowered her eyelids. "This afternoon, I felt like their scent was nearby... But when I followed the scent, I found nothing, not even a trace. So it was probably a mistake. I've made mistakes before too, after all, it's just an intuition, and it's inevitable to make errors."

At this point, Weili paused and observed Kevin's expression. She nodded understandingly, "Don't worry, if there are really demon hunters... I'll leave voluntarily, and take this idiotic werewolf with me, so we won't drag you into it. Although demon hunters are known for protecting humans, some of them are extremists, and sometimes they incriminate the innocent. Although they've been more restrained for more than a hundred years, the nature of a mad dog never changes."

Lily immediately perked up her ears, "You mean the mad dog..."

"It's none of your business," Weili glared at the werewolf impatiently, "You're pretty sensitive when it comes to irrelevant things."

Kevin just wanted to say, Weili makes it sound so easy! If they really leave, who knows if that crazy goddess with a five-digit name will show up the next day!
