She told Zhou Bingzhu during dinner that she had a task at night and he should stay in the room.
Zhou Bingzhu was a bit puzzled, "Aren’t I supposed to go with you?"
Gu Shengyin looked a bit serious, "This task is more dangerous, I might not be able to protect you."
She thought for a mont and said, "Now, the Yin Evil in your body has basically been eliminated, it shouldn’t trouble you anymore."
"Just in case, you stay in my room tonight."
She had lived here for several years, and the things in the room were imbued with her aura, so a little bit of weak Yin Evil shouldn’t trouble Zhou Bingzhu.
Zhou Bingzhu could distinguish the priorities, knowing that as an Exorcist’s task, if he went, he would only cause trouble.
He asked, "Your task is dangerous? Then you should be careful."
Gu Shengyin nodded.
At six in the evening, Gu Shengyin left on ti.
When she arrived at the designated location, she saw Yan Zi clad in a trench coat and leather pants.
She frowned, "It’s you?"
Gu Shengyin frowned for two reasons.
First, the person was Yan Zi. She had no fondness for soone who severely wronged Jiang Lan in the original plot;
Second, the person was Yan Zi. The demon that required the two most powerful young Exorcists from their departnt was likely more troubleso than she had imagined.
Yan Zi sighed and smiled helplessly when seeing her frown, "I know you hate , Jiang Lan, but this ti we are here to do a task, so please bear with it."
Gu Shengyin glanced at her, "Don’t worry, I know what’s important."
She didn’t deny Yan Zi’s claim that she hated her.
For convenience, Gu Shengyin parked her car right there and got into the sa car with Yan Zi—comparing the two, though Yan Zi’s car was flashy, its performance was indeed a bit better.
Gu Shengyin would never argue about aningless things like these.
The two arrived at the location provided by the organization for the task.
Now it was just getting dark, the ti when demons were about to co out to hunt.
Exorcists couldn’t carry out tasks during the day because the demons would hide during daylight.
Hiding in places that no humans could find.
They only appeared at night.
And only when they appeared at night could they be eliminated.
This was an abandoned factory where no one would normally think to co.
Without lights, it was pitch-black, dirty, and disorganized, whose eerie silence was sowhat terrifying.
Gu Shengyin summoned her Lifebound Sword from within herself, and Yan Zi, not daring to be complacent, raised both hands, producing a long tallic whip.
"Don’t move," Gu Shengyin suddenly whispered.
Yan Zi gave her a puzzled look but obediently stayed still.
The system began to search the area.
"Searching, please wait, host... Quickly move back!" the system’s voice rang out.
Gu Shengyin reacted quickly, and upon hearing the system’s voice, she instinctively retreated backward, pulling the bewildered Yan Zi along.
Just as the two moved back, the ground where they previously stood suddenly exploded.
A shadow shrouded in black mist appeared before them.
"Hu...mans..." surprisingly, the shadow uttered broken human speech.
Gu Shengyin and Yan Zi simultaneously entered a combat stance almost instantly.
"It’s Greed!" Gu Shengyin’s gaze tightened as she spoke.
No wonder, if it were Greed, growing to this extent was understandable.
