I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 595 160: Loop

Hikamu finally understood.

Why did he feel that inexplicable sense of familiarity the moment he entered this town; why did he feel a sickening sense of despair, as if being watched, when he was trapped in the ruins and climbing upwards.

Because all of this was a situation he himself created... except that night, he was the one who manufactured despair, the hunter, and tonight, Yun You is the hunter.

After understanding this, Hikamu realized another thing.

That is, the current Yun You must be related to that massacre.

She is either a member of another hunting team, or... a survivor who escaped their clutches.

But... how is this possible?

Hikamu felt somewhat inconceivable.

If it was the former, then Yun You had no reason to hate him so much.

Although their team had slightly ruthless ways of killing, even if the tapes were put on the black market, they probably wouldn't pass the review, but other teams did it too!

That night, all the hunting teams were killing, without exception.

Since it was all slaughter, why split hairs about the cruelty? It had no meaning!

And if Yun You was the latter... also a survivor of the massacre that night...

Hikamu found this even less possible.

Because before the action, they had confirmed that the street regarded as the target, even the entire area, did not have any living 'enemy faction Apprentice Death God'.

The rank Yun You exhibited, while not particularly high, was not something a civilian Death God could achieve in just one year.

This was unthinkable no matter how you looked at it.

But the fact was right in front of him, leaving no room for doubt.

Beads of sweat the size of beans seeped from his forehead and rolled to the ground, yet they couldn't take away an ounce of fear, but instead made the unseen, untouchable irritability grow stronger.

"Who on earth are you?!! What grudge do I have with you?"

Hikamu panted heavily, roaring at the ruins around him!

But only the howling wind responded to him.

He suddenly felt something was very wrong.

Hikamu used to always miss the life on the grassland, thinking he was free and unrestrained at that time, not bound by morals or laws, not having to worry so much, just needing to find a way to fill his stomach and then satisfy his desire to hunt.

Most people have this feeling, thinking that the beauty of the past is worth cherishing, but this also has the 'childhood filter' at work, people always subconsciously ignore past pain and hardship, remembering only the beautiful moments.

Hikamu was the same, when he missed the beauty of the grassland, he always forgot that before being brought back to Nest City by Shen Ye, he had always lived a life of sleeping in the wind and dining in the dew, living from hand to mouth, with beasts and grassland compatriots who wanted his life everywhere, needing to always stay tense to prevent food poisoning and traps, only then could he survive in this perilous and desolate wilderness.

And now, Yun You's hunt made him regain that feeling again—the nauseating sense of crisis.

For the first time in his life, in a situation where the strength was somewhat 'equal', he had the thought of retreat, wanting to directly concede and leave Yun You, this trouble, to the next Warrior to take the stage.

Hikamu was a true 'doer', the moment the thought formed in his mind, his legs were already moving, putting the idea into action.

If not seen with one's own eyes, perhaps people would really find it difficult to imagine that a person weighing 200 kilograms, carrying several tons of equipment, and with a broken arm, could run so fast.

Hikamu, like a mad bull, charged in one direction regardless of the surroundings, shattering countless buildings and vehicles along the way.

Rusty steel bars and rubble clung to him, but he didn't care, he just wanted to escape!

He still remembered, this street was not particularly long, though a bit winding, the straight-line distance was only a few kilometers.

As long as he rushed those few kilometers, he still had a way to live!

As for the battle, this kind of uncertain battle, he was unwilling to fight... saving his life was more important.

However, as he ran, he slowly realized something was off.

Why, even after running so long, was the world before his eyes still the dim slum?

This was not right...

With his speed, even injured, his speed cut in half, he should have already finished running those few kilometers!

How could it be possible to run for so long and not even see the edge of the arena?

"What... exactly... is going on..."

Hikamu stopped, staring blankly at everything in front of him.

Somehow, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy, his sense of direction also erratic.

This feeling wasn't obvious at first, even he hadn't noticed, but now, after running for so long, the dizziness became more severe.

He instinctively touched his head and felt a bit of sticky blood at his temple, and... an indentation wound that couldn't be felt without careful touching.

"When... was I... hit?"

Hikamu was a bit dazed.

And it was then that Yun You's voice, like a death spell, surfaced again from the shadows.

"The hippocampus, located in the core neural region of the human brain, its primary function is to govern 'cognition' and 'memory'."
