Chapter 719: Chapter 719: National Demon Sprite (10)
“Captain Lu!”
Captain Lu’s body was kicked flying, crashing into the courtyard. The bluestone slabs shattered beneath him.
The other two team mbers tried to step forward, but before they could get close to Chuzheng, their bodies suddenly froze in place.
They looked down.
All they saw was the ground shimring with silver light, and their bodies were bound by those strange silver gleams.
This…
What on earth is this?!
Their eyes turned towards Chuzheng.
The girl stood between her two companions, who were in attacking poses, and just like them, seed to be immobilized.
The girl lifted her foot, slowly stepping through the middle of them.
As she passed by, those two companions suddenly disintegrated, their particles drifting down like dust.
In the eerie silence, they could even hear the sound of the dust settling on the ground.
The two: “!!!”
Their hearts were left with nothing but shock and terror.
“Captain Lu!”
One of them shouted loudly.
But at this mont, Captain Lu was lying on the ground, wailing in pain, unable to save them.
Captain Lu watched helplessly as the other two team mbers also vanished.
Chuzheng turned around, her delicate eyebrows cold as frost, emitting a proud and arrogant air as if she were looking down on everyone.
It was sothing that radiated from her very bones, from her soul.
It induced fear, submission.
The girl’s cherry-pink lips parted slightly, her cool voice slowly filling the courtyard, “What are you here for?”
They weren’t looking for Yu Su, nor were they looking for her.
Captain Lu, supporting himself, started backing away, his voice trembling, “What exactly are you?”
He had seen powerful demons before.
But he had never seen one like this.
When she made her move, there was absolutely no monster Qi.
Even now, he could not feel her monster Qi.
Eerie.
This girl only left him with a sense of eeriness.
“It’s not important.” Chuzheng walked up to him, looking down from above, “What are you looking for here?”
Captain Lu t Chuzheng’s gaze and from deep within his soul, a wave of fear arose.
This fear overwheld him.
Making it impossible for him to think clearly.
“Looking for… for a demon.”
“What demon?”
“…” Captain Lu fell silent.
Chuzheng kicked out, and Captain Lu let out a ‘wa’ as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chuzheng stepped back in disgust, “Looking for what demon.”
Captain Lu was unwilling to say.
“I don’t know.” Captain Lu still couldn’t hold out, and let it slip, “We were only told that a Great Demon was awakening nearby, and we were ordered to investigate.”
Chuzheng realized.
If she wasn’t mistaken, that must be them looking for her Good Person Card.
It’s so dangerous outside, it’s indeed better to keep the Good Person Card locked up.
Chills ran down Captain Lu’s ankles as he looked down, his pupils reflecting the gleaming silver light.
The silver light was creeping up his ankle.
“No… I told you everything… don’t kill .”
Captain Lu begged Chuzheng in terror.
Chuzheng’s face was cold, “Your companions are waiting for you.”
“No…”
Captain Lu’s voice spiraled into the air.
But on the spot, there was only a pile of dust left, with no trace of a human figure.
Chuzheng slipped her hands into her pockets, her gaze lowered onto the pile of dust.
Not kill you so you can go back with the ssage?
I ain’t a fool.
Chuzheng’s eyes shifted towards the hiding place of Yu Su and the two servants.
Yu Su and his two followers were sitting on the ground, staring blankly at her, utterly terrified.
–
Two days later.
Demon Hunter Alliance, conference room.
The conference room was now full of people arguing vehently; it was as noisy as a marketplace.
“Quiet!”
The middle-aged man at the front slamd the table.
The eting room suddenly fell silent.
“Chairman, we’ve nearly turned the whole city upside down and still haven’t found that Great Demon. Could it have already left?”
Not long ago, the Alliance discovered that a Great Demon had awakened, but the Monster Qi disappeared quickly, and the Alliance was unable to pinpoint its exact location.
To be called a Great Demon, one must be at least a few hundred years old.
If such a Great Demon has awakened and isn’t dealt with promptly, who knows what might happen.
The middle-aged man glanced at the person speaking, “Where’s Old Lu?”
People in the eting room looked around at each other.
“I haven’t seen him in two days.”
“ neither.”
“Could he be off flirting with so Demon Sprite?”
The middle-aged man slapped the table, silencing everyone, and it seed they also realized sothing was amiss.
“Call him!”
Soone beside him imdiately reached for their phone.
“…Chairman, it’s turned off.”
The Chairman glanced at the person, who tried calling again, still turned off.
Under the Chairman’s icy gaze, they hurriedly asked everyone else around, but no one had seen Old Lu.
The atmosphere in the eting room suddenly beca grave.
Under normal circumstances, a turned-off phone might an a dead battery or a desire to avoid calls.
But at this ti…
It didn’t seem normal no matter how one looked at it.
“Old Lu… seems to have sent a text ssage!” Suddenly, soone on the left rembered.
“Show .”
That person hurriedly took out their phone, finding the ssage.
——Gold, woman, ,￥%
The text ssage was nonsensical, just three characters, and since the person was busy with the search at the ti, they didn’t think much of it.
The Chairman’s expression was like a brewing storm as he asked in a deep voice, “Which street was Old Lu responsible for?”
“Chunxia Street over there.”
“Check it.”
–
Chuzheng hadn’t gone to the back for two days, so ‘Little Mouse’ had been pestering her for two days.
Even changing rooms didn’t help.
Disturbed by the noise, Chuzheng sat up with a cold expression, her dark room as if ice was forming.
Chuzheng, full of anger, opened the door and went straight to the shrine in the back.
“Are you done yet!”
Chuzheng kicked the door open, the light swiftly spread into the room, landing right on the rocking chair.
The man lay on the rocking chair, which creaked eerily, its drawn-out noise in the quiet of the night sounded bizarre.
He was completely engulfed in the Dark, silent and still.
Chuzheng, stepping into the moonlight, was surrounded by a halo of bright white light.
The man gripped the back of the chair, and the creaking sound suddenly ceased.
The man’s voice slowly rose, “Xiao Yao, leaving here alone isn’t very nice of you.”
“You’re a person?” Middle of the night, not sleeping, scratching at my corners, are you sick?
Even demons need rest!
The man: “…”
He felt like he had been scolded.
“How are you scratching my walls if you can’t leave this place?” Chuzheng asked irritably.
There was a defensive layer on the outside walls to prevent people from coming in and to stop him from going out.
What precisely was scratching the walls every night?
“That can’t stop ,” the man scoffed disdainfully.
“Oh, then go out on your own.” If it can’t stop you, why scratch my walls every day? You’re scratching them bare!
“…” The man fell silent, “Xiao Yao, what about making a trade?”
Chuzheng looked toward the silhouette she could only see the outline of, pondered for a mont, then asked, “What trade?”
Whoosh——
The man revealed the iron chains beneath his wide sleeves, “You help get these off, and I’ll grant you one condition.”
“Dream on.”
Chuzheng didn’t even think about it, flatly refusing.
[Miss, I urge you to be kind. Rember your duty, you need to be a good person, okay~]
Chuzheng with solemn sincerity: I’m doing this for his own good, it’s dangerous outside.
[…]Damn being good to him.
If you’re good to him, you should let him go!
[Miss, do you want the Good Person Card to hate you to death?]
Chuzheng: “…”
I’m not the one who locked him up.
I’m just borrowing the place, why would he hate .
