Chapter 802: Chapter 802: “Demon” and “Demon Exorcist
“Even you say it’s difficult, it looks like she’s even more stubborn than you.”
“Because of the case transfer, she’s in a bad mood. It’s better not to provoke her.” Ye Shikai gave a bitter smile. Zhang Ting, she was the epito of a hot-tempered woman. When they inford her of the bad news before, Ye Shikai was already prepared to be the “punching bag.”
“Besides, she’s a police officer; should she retreat when faced with danger? I think it’d be good for her to practice a bit.” Ye Shikai said casually, taking a cigarette from his pocket.
“Is that so? Demon exorcists aren’t as considerate.”
“Fine, then you go persuade her.” Ye Shikai rolled his eyes and left. If Zhang Ting were so easily persuaded to leave, she wouldn’t be Zhang Ting.
“Then forget it, but you should still be careful.” Tianjing naturally wouldn’t do such a thing, but since Zhang Ting was a mber of the team now, Tianjing couldn’t ignore her safety. However, from the current situation, if the demon exorcists had ill intentions towards Zhang Ting, she wouldn’t have the strength to resist.
“I know.”
“You really are serious.” Ye Shikai walked over to Zhang Ting, who was in front of the screen. She was watching those surveillance videos repeatedly, hoping to spot so clues.
“Of course, this case is a blot on the police departnt. I have to clear it.” Zhang Ting said firmly.
“Yeah, demon exorcists are tough to deal with. Be careful.” Ye Shikai thought for a mont and couldn’t help but remind her.
“I know.”
…………………………………
Unconsciously, a day had passed. Ye Shikai felt oppressed, like a prisoner awaiting execution. The demon exorcists had yet to appear, and there were few clues on the scene, leaving them at a loss.
Dragon Teeth Special Station Base.
“So, you’re running into obstacles.” Yan Kuan’s expression was slightly grave. Ye Shikai ca to this old superior, not seeking a solution, but just to vent.
“Yeah, that guy is far more cunning than Xun Long was before.”
“Back when your special forces team acted, you encountered many heads captured, so even claiming divine titles. It was just a way to deceive people.” Yan Kuan suddenly jested, “Like those emperors of ancient tis, always creating ‘events’ to stand out. For instance, Liu Bang staged a white serpent uprising and claid he was the son of the Red Emperor. Look at Chen Sheng, having people shout ‘King Chen Sheng’ at night, just a ans to win people’s hearts.” Yan Kuan chuckled.
“This demon exorcist? It’s just exploiting people’s psychology.”
“Exactly, but his actions indeed resonate with many people’s current mindset.” Ye Shikai said helplessly. The demon exorcist had managed to stir a storm of public opinion based on this.
“It seems like you’ve t your match this ti.” Yan Kuan chuckled again.
“Old Chief, I’m all worked up, and you’re teasing ?” Ye Shikai said, a mix of laughter and tears.
“If the forr Dragon Teeth special forces commander had such ager abilities, I wouldn’t have made you an instructor.” Yan Kuan poured a glass of water for Ye Shikai.
“So, old chief, you do have faith in .”
“Of course, if I thought you couldn’t handle it, why would I have you lead the investigation? That would be a disgrace to our special forces.” Yan Kuan said with a smile, his expression then growing serious, “I’ve actually got a lead to tell you about. Although it’s just a guess, it might be key to solving the case, even a breakthrough.”
“Oh, what lead, old chief? Hurry and tell .” Ye Shikai exclaid excitedly, montarily losing his composure.
“Don’t rush.” Yan Kuan waved his hand, slowly taking out a file from the desk, handing it to Ye Shikai.
“What’s this?” Ye Shikai opened the file with both hands. Inside were a few thin sheets—soone’s details.
A forr target of action.
This was a man. There was a profile photo but no full-body shot. There were also brief introductions. Ye Shikai had served for three years as the Dragon Teeth special forces commander, with targets numbering in the hundreds, but he had a good mory. Every “target” was unforgettable.
“You should have so impression of this person.” Yan Kuan sipped water and said coolly.
“Of course. During an operation in the Middle Eastern country, he was a target we were supposed to capture. But due to unforeseen events, he got away. We later received orders to drop the mission, so it ended there. It’s unforgettable to encounter soone from Huaxia in the Middle East.” Ye Shikai said coldly, understanding Yan Kuan’s purpose upon seeing the man’s profile in the docunt.
Too similar. Though it was just a profile, and the demon exorcist wore a black mask, just his eyes confird it for Ye Shikai.
This man was the demon exorcist.
“Later, we got news he was caught by the local police, right?” Ye Shikai asked with curiosity.
“Yes, but he escaped, just like he recently escaped from the convoy.” Yan Kuan replied.
“They’re the sa person.” Ye Shikai declared firmly.
“Are you sure?” Yan Kuan asked again.
“I swear in the na of a Dragon Teeth special forces instructor, I won’t mistake him.” Ye Shikai stood up and perford a solemn military salute.
“Looks like I gave you the right file then.” Yan Kuan smiled with satisfaction. “I had people search the archives for half a day. Glad it wasn’t in vain.”
“But…what’s going on?” Ye Shikai was shocked. This demon exorcist, having a past connection with him, left him recalling the situation back then. The original assault planned for a quick capture, but when they arrived, only an empty room remained. They had to return to base. Unexpectedly, this man is still alive and has returned to Yanjing to commit demonic acts.
“At that ti, during his escape, he was caught by the local police but orchestrated a sche with accomplices during sentencing and escaped.” Yan Kuan continued, “Later, I heard he was active near the Middle East again, leading a group.”
“And then he seed to vanish from all sights.” Yan Kuan said further.
The information in Ye Shikai’s hands felt like an irony. Now he’s called the demon exorcist, but during the previous operation, his codena was “Demon.”
