Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 487 It’s just a head

"Sure enough, you are right down there, meow! Five hundred and fifty-fourth floor, meow!" Pig Chop was the first to jump down the narrow and long stairs.

Hayata followed closely behind, "I counted five hundred and fifty-six floors."

"Meow meow meow? Are humans and Elu different cats?"

Pig Chop looked back at the stairs suspiciously, "Gordon counted five hundred and fifty-six levels of meow at that time. How many levels of meow did you count, Xianglan?"

Under the gazes of Hayata and Zhupa, Pandan trembled her beard and her eyes wandered, "Five, five hundred, five hundred and fifty-five levels, meow!"

"Tell the truth, meow."

".The even numbers are messed up, meow."

"Good-for-nothing meow!"

"I'll count meow one more time!" Xianglan was unconvinced and wanted to run back, but Hayata pulled her back again.

Counting the stairs was just to distract Pandan, which seemed to be a bit too much.

She noticed something unusual.

Blood, breath, thoughts, and even the ethereal soul all froze at the moment they looked into this pupil.

"It's just a head, it's just a head."

"Pork chop, although you have indeed faced it, it does not mean that there will be no risk when you face it again. The plan for joint action throughout the process was formulated from the beginning.

After facing the head, if I don’t react within half a minute, Pig Chop will scratch me awake and make a sound. If neither I nor Pork Chop makes any movement, Pandan, whose eyes are always closed, will wake me up by scratching me."

"Good meow!"

Dark golden pupils.

You also took us to the foot of the Black Stone Tower and asked us to stop at the stairs, okay?"

"Don't worry about us, Pig Chop." Halfway through Hayata's words, he suddenly frowned.

The sound of pandan, which was so close behind my ears for a few seconds, seemed as far away and blurry as the horizon.

"Huh~." She breathed lightly, took steps, and chased the Elu in front.

As he continued to climb higher, Hayata could feel his heart beating faster and faster.

Pig Chop also nodded, "This is more efficient, meow."

"Everyone, be mentally prepared. Let's go up the stairs now." Hayata held up the wind lantern and walked step by step to the top of the Black Stone Tower.

No, what am I thinking?

Even though she had undergone psychological construction countless times, she still felt that her mind was in a mess.

What is this voice? It feels very familiar, ah, this is my own voice, the voice I have been chanting in my heart.

Xianglan stiffened when she heard this.

If I felt like I was being stared at by some kind of scary monster before, now I feel like I have been taken into the mouth by that monster.

Xianglan scratched her ears frantically, then suddenly grabbed the reply flute on her chest, and blew hard as if to blow away her fear.

"Chongmeow!"

Hayata suddenly woke up with a start.

Pig Chop's voice was trembling, and it also looked at Hayata, "Meow? Hayata has woken up, meow, it's really awesome, meow is faster than Gordon!"

"I understand, meow."

"Didi--."

I’ve faced it head-on, no problem, meow.”

"Blow it up, meow!"

"Xianglan, start counting seconds and make your voice louder."

Once he realized this, the suffocating sense of oppression suddenly hit him from all directions like a tide.

Pig Chop held his head and thought for a while, "I have not forgotten these things, it's just that the final part of mixing and placing the explosives is all I need."

Hayata was stunned for a moment. Seeing the two Ellu meowing and charging forward excitedly, the uneasiness in her heart also dissipated a little.

Hayata glanced at the Black Stone Tower, "I will repeat the plan. Pork Chop will go with me, and Pandan will lie behind me and close her eyes for a few seconds.

"There's no time to delay, Pandan, come on up."

Unknowingly, the platform at the top of the Black Stone Tower was already in sight.

Zhupa pointed to the top of the black stone tower and said to Hayata and the others: "I can finish it alone next time, you can wait here for a while.

It's just a head.

From their respective perspectives, these choices and judgments seemed logical, but from another perspective, something seemed wrong. In the end, they could not tell who had the problem.

Different from the cautious approach when they came last time, under the leadership of Pig Chop running at full speed, the huge black stone tower soon appeared in front of them.

".Good, good, meow!"

Although I am a bit arbitrary, from now on, everything will be done according to what I say."

She gasped for breath, cold sweat soaked her shirt, and Pandan's voice in her ears returned to normal for a few seconds, "Six! Seven! Eight."

"As Senior Gordon said, in the final analysis, it is just a head that was chopped off countless years ago."

Pork Chop was also stunned when he heard this.

Xianglan said dissatisfiedly: "There's so much nonsense, meow, it's all here, meow!"

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it scary."

Or maybe there is something wrong with everyone.

"Good meow."

"Five, five, five"

"Meow meow meow!"

"We have determined the plan before departure, and we will strictly follow the plan."

"."

Did only a moment pass?

Hayata turned to look at Pork Chop, and just in time, Pork Chop shivered twice and regained consciousness.

After thinking about it, he added, "If I had come alone instead of traveling with Gordon, I might have gone crazy."

"That head is right up there, meow."

Accompanying each other, supervising each other, and reminding each other, this is the real reason why we entered the ruins together, have you forgotten?"

Hayata didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Pig Chop's expression became serious, "To be honest, Meow, Xianglan, you'd better stop here, Meow. I irritated you before, but if you have reached the limit, you will really go crazy if you continue to move forward, Meow."

It was only then that they truly experienced what the professor called "a sense of confusion."

Xianglan closed her eyes tightly and her voice trembled, "One! Two"

Hayata patted Pandan's little head, which was lying behind her, "It's okay, we're fine."

I understand what you mean, meow, but Hayata, is it possible that your thinking has been confused, meow, why do you have to face that head in person, meow?"

Xianglan blinked at the side, "Pork chop is so annoying, meow. If you think we shouldn't go up, why do you still want to annoy meow?"

"Meow!" Xianglan jumped up and grabbed the backpack behind Hayata.

"Although, although I won't be of much use this time, I am Hayata's hunting partner, meow! As long as Hayata can continue to move forward, I can do it too, meow!"

It's just a head that has been chopped off a long time ago. It's just a head. It's just a head.

Hayata kept saying to herself in her heart.

Patting his cheek hard, Hayata said solemnly: "It is unreasonable for us to spend time discussing these things now.

Hayata and Pork Chop took a deep breath at the same time and stepped up the last few steps.

"I'm so enlightened, meow! Then let's rush over in one go, meow!"

Why does it keep shouting five? What number is after five?

Hayata also nodded, "You don't have to force yourself."

Pig Chop pointed at the dark area ahead that could not be illuminated by light, "We are not here to face it with fear, we are here to blow it up!"

Pork Chop took Pandan and ran out on all fours.

"Cheer up, we're almost there." Hayata reminded her, rubbing Pandan's furry head.

"Meow!" Xianglan shrank again.

"Are you really okay? Meow?" Xianglan still didn't dare to open her eyes.

What is in front of me, what do I see? Hayata felt that her thoughts were extremely chaotic, and her soul and heart seemed to be torn into two parts.

If you give yourself a knife at this time, the blood will be very high.

"Meow?"

"Good!" Xianglan agreed without hesitation.

"Pork chop, let's go up."

"Um."

Hayata looked at the rotten head again. The sharp teeth and sharp horns were still as ferocious as ever, and the only remaining dark golden eye was always emitting an ominous light.

But that's all.

"As Senior Gordon said, it's just a head."
