The Incubus System Chapter 672. She Caught
Her voice was low and serious as she began to speak. "Let cut this straight," she said, her eyes locking onto mine. "A few months ago, sothing strange happened within the demon hunter association. One of our own, a demon hunter, was gravely injured, and a female demon hunter ca to his aid. But when our team tried to locate the demons responsible for the attack, they were nowhere to be found."
"I knew then that we had to investigate further," she continued, her voice taking on a steely edge. "Demons do not simply vanish into thin air, and so I began to dig deeper into this mysterious occurrence. It was then that I discovered sothing truly concerning."
She paused, her eyes flickering with a mixture of anger and suspicion. "When I checked the street not far from where the attack had taken place, I found drops of blood. At first, I assud it was the blood of the wounded demon hunter, but there was sothing odd about it. Our team had never passed that spot before, and the female demon hunter who had aided the injured hunter also wasn't injured. I decided to take a sample of the blood, and what I found was truly shocking."
Without giving a chance to speak, she continued. "The blood was a perfect match with the demon blood that we found in the Nighthallow City's office," she said, her voice ringing with accusation. "I knew imdiately what it ant."
My mind raced as I tried to piece together the puzzle she had laid out before . The demon blood on the street... that was from my fight against the Imps. I rembered the pain of those wounds, the ti when I fought tooth and nail against them. But I had never suspected that the association could be used as evidence against . I never thought that could be proof that I was there.
"Why are you telling all of this?" I asked, my voice trembling with a fake fear. "I have nothing to do with all this," I denied.
She fixed with a cold stare, her eyes glittering with a dangerous intensity. "Oh, I think you have everything to do with this," she said, her voice low and nacing. "You see, in that office... I found out sothing that I've been keeping a secret from others."
"I found your blood there," she continued, her voice taking on a note of triumph. "It was only a little bit, and most of it was the blood of the demon. But that one... it was your blood. And so I just ca to this conclusion. Ethan Strongheart had died that day, but a demon pretended to be him and lived as him. Or sothing happened to him, and he has turned into a demon. But whichever it is... you can drop your act, Mr. Great Demon," she demanded in a firm tone. The orbs moved closer to .
'Ah… she caught …' I thought. Yet there was no panic in since I already saw this coming. I wondered if it was because of the previous ssage. And this was clearly an impromptu plan. But one thing was a mystery to . I didn't understand why I didn't see any of this from her mory. Moreover, the fact that she turned off the CCTV was a sign that she was not sure that I was really the Great Demon, or maybe… she planned sothing since she knew who I was.
I took a deep breath and tried to sound as casual as possible. "W-What are you talking about?" I asked in a stamring voice, feigning innocence.
But she wasn't fooled. Her eyes narrowed, and she took a step closer. "Cut the crap! Don't play dumb with ," she growled. "Now tell . Who are you? Are you Ethan? Or the great demon?" She barked at , her eyes narrowing in suspicion.
"Of course, I'm Ethan," I stamred, trying to sound confident. "What makes you think I'm the Great Demon?" I still tried to deny it.
She didn't answer at first but simply continued to stare at with those intense eyes. I felt as if she could see right through , and could read every thought I had ever had.
"Really?" she finally said, her voice low and nacing.
I nodded eagerly. "Yes."
But then she raised one hand, her fingers curling around a small remote that glinted nacingly. My eyes were drawn to it like a magnet.
"If you don't tell the truth," she said slowly, her voice low and dangerous, "I will turn on the CCTV. It connects straight to the headquarters. They can see and hear our conversation. You know what it ans."
My breath caught in my throat. My fingers twitched with the urge to snatch the remote from her grasp, to crush it into tiny pieces beneath my heel.
This was bad news. Really bad news. But taking the remote from her was an easy thing for . Yet… whichever it was, ant I had to tell her who I was.
I looked at her, predicting my chance. But as she leaned in closer, her eyes locked onto mine with a fierce intensity, I knew that I had no choice but to comply.
My lips were sealed, my thoughts a jumbled ss as I maintained my composure and put on my best poker face. My heart pounded in my chest like a wild thing since this confession would be different from before. She didn't have any feelings for and asked this because she was the chairwoman of the demon hunter association.
She must have sensed my unease, because she spoke again, her voice calm and asured. "The sa as you said last ti," she began, her eyes never leaving mine. "I just want to talk. I know if you had ill intentions, you should have hurt Celia. But you don't," she said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argunt.
