The Familiar Stranger

Hao Ren had expected that question long before Athena decided to ask it. After all, the problem was obvious. With so many demon hunters on the outside, not even a mosquito could get out without getting shot out of the sky. How did the three seemingly ordinary guys make their way from the human world to the innermost part of the divine realm? They had even been infiltrating the wall at the back of the temple under the noses of the demon hunters. There had to be some explanation for this mystery.

For Hao Ren, there was no challenge in answering the question. He just needed to give a perfunctory reply. After all, the beings before him would be dead soon—they would be killed according to history. He was not worried about the gods finding anything out.
