I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 21: Foresight


The Apprentice Death God emits a unique pheromone substance when using Sequence traits, with a faint smell resembling cyanide.

This pheromone is difficult to detect with instruments and ordinary people can't smell it, but the Apprentice Death God can sense it clearly, unless the Death God using the ability deliberately hides the scent.

Now, next to the white-haired hooded girl, Yun You smelled the strong scent.

The implication of this was already self-evident.

Just now, this girl used the Death God Sequence ability, and her "foreknowledge" skill is probably related to this ability.

However, Yun You had never heard of any Death God Sequence that could foresee the future.

Her talent ability "Future Sight" could indeed accomplish this, and future sight isn't unique either, but the Floating Island Prison can suppress talent abilities.

Here, Sur Particles are totally unusable, so how did this hooded girl do all of this under such circumstances?

[Wait a moment, girl]

Just as Yun You was puzzled endlessly, Master Zero, silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

[I seem to have a bit of an impression of the foreknowledge Sequence]

[Let me think...]

Hearing this, Yun You nodded lightly, not so anxious anymore.

She turned to Tian En and asked softly, "Is this the person you wanted to bring me to?"

"That's right."

Tian En nodded slightly, explaining softly, "She is the 'Blacksmith' I mentioned."

"This guy has a strange personality, clearly considered a member of Master Mokaka's team, but she doesn't live with us and instead holes up in a place like this, tinkering with weapons and prosthetics every day, and can't move on when she encounters good materials..."

"Just now, you heard too, didn't you? This girl offended a gang for the sake of a piece of D4-grade alloy. I think that alloy is the material she intends to use for crafting prosthetics."

Upon hearing this, Yun You's gaze turned somewhat fervent.

D4-grade alloy is beyond the realm of civilian industrial use, an advanced material that can only be smelted by police and military factories.

Her "Huangxing Heavy Industry" currently has smelting metal production lines too, but even if all advanced technicians were gathered, that line could at most produce D2-grade metals, at least half the performance of D4 metals.

If D4 alloy is used to craft prosthetics, it could indeed create quasi-military-grade prosthetics, or even genuine military prosthetics.

Tian En wasn't lying to her, this Blacksmith must indeed have an "ambition for crafting" beyond ordinary imagination.

"How long do the two of you in the corner plan to hide?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from inside the apartment room, interrupting Yun You's thoughts.

It was the black-hooded girl speaking, with a tone tinged with caution.

"Everyone's already gone, do you two have business here?"

"If so, let's resolve it quickly and not disturb my work."

Hearing this, Yun You couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

She was sure that she hadn't made any noticeable noise other than whispering a few words to Tian En.

Yet even so, the black-hooded girl still sensed their presence from over ten meters away.

This fact alone was enough to prove that this girl's strength was absolutely formidable.

"Ah, no need to stand on ceremony~ it's me, Tian En, Master Mokaka's chief subordinate."

Tian En wasn't too surprised, standing out boldly, revealing her face under the lights.

She pointed to Yun You, explaining with a smile, "This is my partner who escorted me all along the way, we're here to find you for something."

As soon as she said this, the black-hooded girl inside the room relaxed immediately, apparently having quite a connection with Tian En.

"I see..."

The girl patted the dust off herself, and said casually, "Find a place to sit down then, let me clean this mess up first."

With that, she tossed out two chairs, indicating the two should rest for a while as she sped up her cleaning.

Although her words were polite, Yun You could sense that actions had a certain "presence of authority," seeming quite dignified, though she wondered if it was genuine or just a facade...

"Sit down, no need to be formal."

Tian En sat down unreservedly, and motioned for Yun You to take a seat.

"This girl's situation is much like mine, coming to the Floating Island, she faced oppression and was pushed to the brink, and it was I who, with Master Mokaka's guards, rescued her."

"Initially, she was quite averse to strangers, unwilling to say much to us, and even refused Master Mokaka's invitation, insisting on living alone."

"But in a war-torn place like the Floating Island, no matter how strong one's prowess is, it can't fend off endless enemies."

"So afterward, we helped her three more times, which eventually made her put aside her hostility and become one of us..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the hooded girl mopping the floor, and let out a sigh of nostalgia.

"But even so, she still doesn't want to live with us, opting only to move here, helping us manually craft some weapons and occasionally forging prosthetic equipment."

"She hasn't told us her name, so we usually just call her 'Black Hat.'

Black Hat...

Silently reciting that somewhat casual name, Yun You had a thought, and activated the "Information Reconnaissance Chip" on her ear, intensely focusing on the hooded girl to probe into her.

Yet soon, the text displayed on the chip screen left Yun You stunned.

She looked at the girl with disbelief, her eyes turning complex...

While it had surprise and joy, it also carried a trace of helplessness.

But she said nothing, just silently observed the hooded girl, planning to wait for her to speak first.

About a quarter of an hour later, the girl finally finished cleaning up the bloody mess on the floor.

"Whew."

She exhaled deeply, turned around, and took three cans of chilled soda from the fridge, tossing two to Yun You and Tian En, and opened one herself, gulping it down before grabbing a chair to sit in front of them.

However, she didn't first greet Tian En, but directly looked at Yun You.

"Hello, fellow Apprentice Death God."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be here for the 'quasi-military-grade prosthetic', right?"

No mincing of words, no probing back and forth.

The moment she spoke, the girl got straight to Yun You's intention.

"Eh?"

Tian En on the side was a little dazed, not expecting the girl to see through their purpose at a glance.

But Yun You didn't feel much surprise, just nodded lightly.

"That's right, I'm indeed here for that item."
