章節 198: Chapter 198: Brother Dog, What's Wrong? What's Happened to You?
Two demons.
One of them was the old woman from a while back. The one who, after encountering Lin Fan, was hospitalized thanks to Old Zhang's acupuncture, and ultimately left in a huff.
Demons don't accept defeat. I'm a demon, how could I lose to you humans?
Although they had agreed it was just a game, played every ten years, a loss was a loss. But she had a younger sister, and she persuaded her sister to join her in playing the game again, once more targeting Yanhai City.
This time, their target was fixed: Lin Fan.
Their game was simple.
Her sister would transform into a lost little girl. The goal was to help the little girl find her home, which would be just across the street. Upon learning the truth, if the person showed even a hint of complaint, the demons would win.
And Yanhai City would be destroyed.
If they failed… no, failure wasn't an option.
Everyone has a temper.
Wasted time is wasted life. No matter how good a person is, they're bound to complain.
But unexpectedly…
"Truly a supreme human," the older demon sister said, her face expressionless.
She felt her sister was much luckier than her.
Her own experience had been rather miserable. Being stuck in the hospital was utterly tragic. She had left with harsh words, intending to return for revenge, bringing her sister along with great enthusiasm. The result, however, was deeply disappointing.
The cunning older demon sister was furious.
The playful younger demon sister was intrigued.
The older demon sister, with her long, straight black hair, parted her red lips slightly. "We're going back."
"No, I'm not going back. I'm curious about this supreme human. I want to keep playing with him," the twin-tailed younger demon sister declared, her playful spirit ignited.
She simply didn't want to leave.
Having finally encountered such a unique human, she had to have some more fun.
Special Department Dormitory.
Liu Ying squatted in front of his door, examining his slightly messy hair in a small mirror.
Though sparse, it was stylish, lively, and swayed gently in the breeze.
In his mind, the Master was a capable man.
"Huh!"
He noticed a dark figure lurking in the distance.
"Appearing here so late at night, they clearly have an ulterior motive."
Liu Ying felt he couldn't ignore it.
As someone who had benefited from the Master's kindness, he had to help Lin Fan and the Master eliminate any dangers around them, preventing any opportunity for their enemies.
In the distance.
It was One-Eyed Man hiding in the shadows.
He silently observed the situation.
When they first met, he had believed in Old Zhang's abilities. But later, after several experiments, he realized he had been mistaken; it was all a sham.
But now…
The scene at Huatian Hospital remained etched in his memory. The terrifying acupuncture had actually brought someone back to life.
He knew those two were mentally ill patients.
But what could he do?
A hero doesn't question his path, only his ability.
"Boss, what are you doing here?" Liu Ying asked.
One-Eyed Man replied calmly, "Night patrol, checking the situation."
A perfectly normal answer, without any issues. It was something he, as the leader, had to do.
"What are you squatting there for?" One-Eyed Man asked.
Liu Ying said, "Boss, I'm waiting for Lin Fan and the Master to come back. Look at the hair on my head; it's all thanks to the Master's daily acupuncture. It's truly amazing."
"Really?"
One-Eyed Man remained impassive.
He looked closely.
A few strands had indeed grown.
Much more effective than those Bawang hair growth products.
No sudden "Duang!" and a full head of hair.
"Absolutely! I saw it with my own eyes. There's no doubt about it. It's truly amazing," Liu Ying gushed, practically praising Old Zhang to the heavens.
Tap, tap!
Footsteps approached from the distance.
Liu Ying turned around with a joyful expression, about to speak to One-Eyed Man, when he noticed the leader had vanished. He scratched his head, puzzled, but didn't dwell on it, hurrying towards Lin Fan and Old Zhang.
A short while later.
One-Eyed Man reappeared.
Looking at the now-closed door, he stroked his chin, lost in thought, his single eye gleaming. "Should I trust them again?"
His inner turmoil was complex.
He wanted to believe in them.
But he also doubted them. It was a strange feeling.
Finally.
One-Eyed Man melted back into the darkness.
He hadn't made up his mind.
He had to be cautious. If something went wrong, the consequences could be severe.
He didn't want to end up lying in a hospital bed again, unable to move. That was a terrifying thought.
April 17th!
The weather was even better than yesterday.
Abandoned Factory.
He Mu, second only to Lin Fan in handsomeness, appeared in this deserted place.
His purpose in coming to Yanhai City was simple:
Kill Gao Xiong.
This was the standard mission.
If the opportunity presented itself, and the chances were high, he would rescue Gao Xiong.
However, for He Mu, killing someone was often much easier than rescuing someone.
Therefore, he chose to kill Gao Xiong.
With his current strength, he couldn't infiltrate the Special Department alone, so he needed external help to create chaos in Yanhai City. He would sneak into the Special Department during the ensuing confusion.
His plan was simple.
He would attract the evil creatures hiding in Yanhai City and use a special item to incite them into a frenzy. When chaos erupted in the city, the Special Department would be busy dealing with the creatures, their defenses weakened, and he could seize the opportunity to infiltrate.
The chances of success were high.
But the risks were also significant.
He Mu tossed a metallic object into the center. Just as he was about to activate the device, a sound came from the distance.
It sounded like a group of children running towards them.
"This is my secret base. I brought you here to tell you that we're all friends now."
"But you can't tell anyone else."
The child speaking was clearly their leader.
The king of the kids.
The object of countless children's admiration. They would hand over the money their parents gave them to the king, who would buy snacks and distribute them.
Five children skipped and hopped into He Mu's view.
He Mu looked at them.
The children looked back at him, equally puzzled.
Their secret base had been discovered.
"Big brother, this is my secret base. Can you please leave?" the chubby child asked.
He Mu said coldly, "Get lost!"
"Okay!"
The chubby child quickly waved and urged his friends to run. He had merely tested the waters with his question. If the man had agreed, he would have claimed the place as his own, boasting to his friends, "See? Even when facing an adult, I'm not afraid. I scared him away."
Now, he was the one being scared away.
Just as they reached the entrance, a figure emerged from the darkness, intending to kill the five children.
He Mu frowned and kicked a stone at the figure, interrupting their action.
The figure looked at He Mu in confusion, then watched as the five children escaped.
"He Mu, you should understand the importance of this matter. Leaving evidence is always a danger."
The speaker was a thin man, seemingly frail, but in reality, he was a ruthless killer for the Shadow Society.
He Mu said coldly, "My business is none of your concern. They're just children; what do they understand?"
"Heh." The thin man chuckled.
He didn't say anything more.
To him, killing was an art form. The target's identity was irrelevant.
He Mu activated the device.
The device emitted an undetectable wave that spread in all directions.
He Mu set up various strange formations within the abandoned warehouse and placed a bottle filled with liquid on the ground. He unscrewed the cap, and the liquid evaporated, releasing a peculiar odor.
Then, the two of them concealed themselves in the shadows.
Soon after.
Various evil creatures, disguised as animals, appeared in the abandoned warehouse.
There were cats.
Dogs.
Even pigs.
And quite a few snakes.
They looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why everyone had gathered there.
Sniff, sniff!
The smell was strange.
He Mu activated the formations he had set up. A faint golden light flickered and then disappeared.
The formations were designed to suppress the smell the creatures had just detected, preventing them from immediately erupting into chaos, which would have been disastrous.
Realizing they had been tricked, the evil creatures cursed and left.
Damn it!
We were getting along so well with those stupid humans.
And you tricked us here.
You're sick!
Which bastard pulled this prank? Don't let us find you, or we'll swallow you whole!
Detention Room.
One-Eyed Man stood there, looking at Gao Xiong, feeling troubled. Were people's mentalities this twisted nowadays?
What was there to hide?
Just tell us what you know.
It would benefit you, me, and everyone else.
There was no need to be so stubborn.
Were you expecting someone to rescue you?
That was impossible. This was the Yanhai City Special Department! Even if you didn't respect the Special Department, you should at least respect me.
He couldn't claim to be a god or a ghost, but at least people were afraid of him.
The city's residents, noticing their pets had disappeared, searched anxiously. Later, when their pets returned, they smiled with relief. Be good, don't run away.
If you get lost…
We'll be heartbroken.
As evening approached.
A man jogged in the park, holding a leash attached to his dog. The dog trailing behind him was a stray he had picked up. He was an office worker and didn't have the time to raise a pet.
But the stray dog had looked so pitiful, nudging his leg with its head, then cowering as if ashamed of its dirtiness.
His tough exterior had instantly melted.
So cute, and so pitiful.
In the end, he took the stray dog home, took a day off work, got the dog vaccinated, and bought some dog food. The dog had added much joy to his lonely evenings.
"Brother Dog, run faster," the man said.
Suddenly, the jogging man noticed something was wrong. The force on the leash was unusually strong; he couldn't pull it.
He looked back.
He saw Brother Dog standing still, baring its teeth, its whole body trembling.
"Brother Dog, what's wrong?" The man hurried over to check on Brother Dog. They had been together for over a month, and the dog had become like a soulmate to the man, providing companionship in the lonely nights.
Seeing this, he was very worried.
