Chapter 499: 3 Chaser
What the...hell is this?!
Vic was filled with horror.
Just half a minute ago, the guy who was on the brink of death suddenly killed three pursuers in an instant. What kind of terrifying strength is this? At least Vic had never seen such a powerful Hunter.
Wait, is he really a Hunter?
Hunters are a profession unique to this land, but the person in front of him was clearly not from Wildfire.
He should be from Holy Sound.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you here?"
Vic questioned Bai Wei, but his words lacked confidence, as his only weapon had been destroyed by the pursuers just now.
"Don't be nervous," Bai Wei said with a smile, "although earlier we were just a hair's breadth away from the enemy, you didn't do anything, did you?"
Just a hair's breadth?
Vic immediately realized Bai Wei was referring to when he first planned to kill him.
This instantly broke Vic into a cold sweat.
In other words, this guy was awake the whole time?
If he had really intended to act, then this guy would have...
Vic understood what Bai Wei meant by "lucky one is you."
"Yes, I didn't harm you," Vic tried to keep his words calm, "I even left you some medicine, remember?"
"Of course." Bai Wei grinned, shaking the medicine bottle that Vic had given him, which now contained only one pill left, yet it made a crisp sound, "I received it."
"I gave you medicine to save your life, and you saved mine, so we owe each other nothing... well, I guess I still owe you." Vic swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat, "If we meet again, I will repay you."
As Vic spoke, he slowly moved his body backward to be able to rush out of the Senluo Church in the shortest possible time.
Though the night on this land is hazardous, Vic now felt that no matter how dangerous it was, it had to be safer than the person in front of him.
Vic's small movements naturally did not escape Bai Wei's eyes; in fact, not only his movements but his psychological activities were also heard clearly by Bai Wei.
"You don't have to be so tense." Bai Wei's tone was relaxed, "We've already made a good start, haven't we?"
"A good start?"
"Yes, for partners, a good trust relationship always begins with small cooperation or small transactions." Bai Wei said, "From this perspective, haven't we made a good start?"
Vic understood Bai Wei's meaning: "You want to cooperate with me?"
"Cooperation, deal, interpret it however you like."
"What do you want?" Vic said suspiciously, "I have no medicine left."
"Don't worry, I don't want medicine." Perhaps to verify his words, Bai Wei directly tossed the medicine bottle in his hand to Vic, and only after Vic caught it with surprise did he continue, "What I want is you."
Vic's suspicion instantly turned into vigilance: "What do you mean?"
"Don't get nervous... and don't get the wrong idea." Bai Wei laughed and said, "I just need your help, as you can see, my physical condition is not very good, so I need an assistant to help me move better on this land."
Not very good physical condition?
If he hadn't seen Bai Wei killing those three pursuers in an instant, Vic might have believed Bai Wei's words.
But on the other hand, Vic could indeed feel the anomaly in Bai Wei's body.
And his extraordinary sense of smell was also telling him that this guy was indeed severely injured.
In other words, Bai Wei was lying here not just to fish for information, but really to recover from his injuries.
This made Vic somewhat relieved, as if Bai Wei were actually lying in wait for him... then he seemed to have no way out.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Vic asked.
"Assistant, guide." Bai Wei shrugged and said, "An outsider always needs a Hunter's help upon arriving in this land, right?"
Bai Wei's reason was quite sufficient.
Because before the land was so dangerous, outsiders did enter, and they usually hired Hunters to ensure their personal safety.
It's just that Vic really didn't think he could guarantee Bai Wei's safety.
So he didn't plan to agree, but he didn't dare to refuse directly either, so he could only say, "Then you found the wrong person."
"Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Vic pointed to the corpses underfoot, "I'm being hunted, aren't I?"
"It's okay." Bai Wei said with a smile, "So am I."
Vic: "..."
He almost forgot this guy was also being chased here.
And the people chasing him seemed equally troublesome.
"Then wouldn't it be even more troublesome with the two of us together?" Vic said, "Aren't you afraid of dragging each other down?"
"It doesn't matter much to me."
...But it matters to me!
Vic almost couldn't resist blurting out.
"Heh heh." Bai Wei saw Vic's dilemma and said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous; if you want to refuse me, you don't need to come up with so many reasons. Our transaction should be entirely voluntary."
Upon seeing Bai Wei say this, after a brief hesitation, Vic also nodded: "Sorry, sir, I really can't accept your commission, and to be safe, I shouldn't stay with you any longer."
As Vic spoke, he backed up to the door.
