Demon Hunter and His Cabin-Chapter 153 - 153 We Are Monsters (6)

Chapter 153 -153 We Are Monsters (6) Chapter 153 -153 We Are Monsters (6) “Are we going to die here?”

Veronia asked somewhat desperately.

Henrik smiled lightly, his expression relaxed, but his eyes were extremely serious.

“In the Transcendent World, death is not the final outcome,”

Ingmar added.

Henrik agreed, “The initial assimilation process started slowly, probably when Veronia began dreaming. During the assimilation, this Different Space chose to replicate reality.”

“However, it’s clear that the process failed. Not long after we entered, the assimilated world collapsed, revealing its true form.”

“After one failure, the speed of the world’s assimilation should accelerate. Moreover, since we’ve entered, the link between here and reality is strengthening, which also will hasten the assimilation.”

“If we cannot leave before then, after assimilation, we will become part of this world.”

“In other words, to those living in reality, we will be monsters!”

“Are you saying we will be erased of our senses and become those things we just faced?”

Roger asked.

“No, that’s the least likely possibility. More likely, we’ll retain our original memories and emotions but undergo drastic changes in our own characteristics.”

“To our original world, we would be foreign objects, as conspicuous as blood in water. The moment we return to the real world, our characteristics would contaminate reality.”

“Causing consequences far more terrifying than the Advent of the Saint Heir.”

Henrik glanced at Roger.

“So now you should understand why I said the Three Holy Spirits are just minor players.”

“Although they include Sacred Heart and Holy Spirit-level powerhouses, they only dare to capture occasional Otherworldly Visitors that emerge from the cracks. They lack the strength to control a true, large-scale Cursed Land.”

Henrik sighed.

“This is a war of worlds, and no matter how strong we are, the role we can play is very limited.”

“The Hunters’ Guild has records. Many years ago, a powerful Blood Hunter failed to leave during the assimilation process and was doomed to stay in the Cursed Land forever.”

“Unable to return to reality even in death.”

“For a Blood Hunter, who possesses great power and an extended lifespan, it’s truly a torment!”

The mere thought of it sent chills down one’s spine.

An endless solitude, unceasing monsters and carnage, and the hopeless wait that never saw the light of hope.

This was the true nature of the world.

Roger looked at Henrik, “Are there many known Cursed Lands?”

Henrik nodded.

“Many, far more than you’d imagine.”

“Among the well-known historical sites known to everyone, some are hiding a Cursed Land, where tourists from around the world flock annually.”

“The diversity of the world affects the results and process of assimilation, and through special means, we can try to contain it as much as possible.”

Had it not been for their special experiences, Henrik would likely have found it difficult to disclose such core secrets to Roger and the others.

It wasn’t a matter of trust but a code that had to be adhered to by a Demon Hunter upon joining the Hunters’ Guild.

“This world is indeed much bigger than I had imagined.”

Roger initially thought Henrik was just being mysterious in the bar, but now it seemed…

“Given our current situation, how are we going to get out?”

“We need to find the gatekeeper.”

“Of course, ‘gatekeeper’ is just our own term. He is the first being formed in this place during the assimilation of reality after the two worlds came into contact.”

Roger’s mind lit up with a flash of spiritual light.

“Are you talking about that dream of Veronia’s?”

“Yes!”

Henrik nodded.

“At first, I just considered it a common supernatural event, never considering the emergence of a Cursed Land.”

“But now that we know the outcome, looking back, the assimilation began from the time Veronia started having the dreams, and the bride she dreamed of…”

“Must be the first creature that this world extracted and created from reality, also known as the Gatekeeper.”

“Wait a minute.”

Roger suddenly interrupted Henrik.

“Veronia should be the first person this world came into contact with, and the guy we met in the Dream of Bordeaux before must have escaped from here…”

“Could he be the one?”

Roger asked with some concern.

Upon hearing Roger’s words, the faces of everyone present changed. The shape-shifting monster had left this world, and if he were the so-called Gatekeeper, then none would have the chance to leave.

Henrik forced a bitter smile.

“To be honest, I’m not sure which of them was the first to form during the assimilation process.”

“By chronological order, the dreams happened first…”

“Now we have no other choice, we can only take a gamble.”

“It’s strange, how exactly are these creatures formed?”

Roger asked.

“During the assimilation process, this place magnified certain aspects of the real world, such as emotions,” Henrik said, glancing at Veronia. “Take her for example, the pride of Bordeaux City’s high society, where a sharp mind and volatile emotions are necessary.”

“And then the shape-shifting monster was born.”

“Of course, this was only at the initial stage. After this stage, the rest of the process was no longer bound by these restrictions.”

“According to what you said, what does Veronia’s dream represent then?”

“I think I might know a clue.”

Ingmar suddenly spoke up.

“After initial investigations, I also focused on the malevolence of evil spirits, since that’s what ordinary people are most likely to encounter in the realm of the mysterious.”

“After my investigation, indeed, I stumbled upon something strange.”

“Rose Street has a long history in Bordeaux City; before this villa area was built, it was a gathering place for the nobility of high society.”

“About 40 years ago, on the original site of this villa, there was a mansion, the owner of which was named Christoph, a well-known local timber merchant.”

“A much-talked-about subject, he had twin daughters, both stunningly beautiful.”

“However, after the sisters grew up, they both fell in love with the same man; the older sister was lively and outgoing while the younger was shy and introverted.”

“Relatively speaking, the older sister was more favored, and so, before long, she was engaged to the young man.”

“The wedding went smoothly and, after marrying, they had a pair of lovely children, which became a happy legend in the locality until an accident claimed the woman’s life.”

“Grief-stricken, the man planned to sell the property and leave the place. However, during the final moving process, they accidentally discovered a secret tunnel beneath the cellar.”

“When the servants lit torches, everyone was stunned. In the dim room lay a coffin, and inside the coffin was a withered old woman, tortured beyond human recognition.”

“Of course, by the time they found her, this woman had long been dead. The man, seeing a heart-shaped necklace on the old woman’s neck, burst into tears.”

“Because he knew the woman lying in this coffin was his true wife.”
