After Ozawa left, Ling Ling walked around the sacrificial mountain.
She was pretty sure that this was where the dark energy was being released. Ling Ling knew that the Red Devil might be nearby. If she was too obvious, the Red Devil might target her instead.
Ling Ling chose to leave. She only needed to know that the dark energy was at the sacrificial mountain, and most likely inside one of the temples.
…
After returning to her room, Ling Ling flipped through the records and checked the names carefully.
Someone knocked on the door as soon as she flipped through the first page. Ling Ling frowned. She had no idea who would visit a beautiful girl's room in the middle of the night.
"Who is it?" asked Ling Ling.
"It's me," Mofan's voice came from outside.
Ling Ling went to the door and opened it. She saw Mofan with a sneaky look on his face.
"Didn't you say you weren't going to show yourself?" snapped Ling Ling.
"Didn't I find something? How's it going on your side? Do you have any clues?" Mofan walked in and glanced at Ling Ling's laptop on the table. He then glanced at the list of names.
"Nothing for now. I only know that a guy who was imprisoned at the lowest level of the East Guardian Tower has escaped. He even visited the sacrificial mountain. How's it going on your side? Did you find anything special? "asked Ling Ling as she stood in front of the door.
"I've snuck into the East Guardian Tower. It's a little different from what we expected," said Mofan.
"What do you mean?" asked Ling Ling.
"Everything in the East Guardian Tower is very orderly. The guards are on high alert, and the prisoners are under strict supervision. I don't see any signs of a riot," said Mofan.
"That's not normal. The West Guardian Pavilion is a residential area for ordinary people. It's filled with hostility, ugliness, and violence. But the East Guardian Tower that has imprisoned so many villains, demons, and violent prisoners is peaceful?" asked Ling Ling.
"Did you find anything else?" Mofan asked helplessly.
"Nope. There are still too few clues, and they're all too fragmented. It feels like none of them are related to what we're looking for, but at the same time, it also feels like everything is related to what we're looking for. What a headache," Ling Ling said.
"Alright, then I'll continue to observe. If you have any important clues, you can come to me," Mofan said.
"How can I find you? I still don't know who you're pretending to be," Ling Ling said.
"Let's set a location. If we find anything, we'll meet at the stone platform on the eastern cliff," Mofan said.
"Alright."
…
After closing the door, Ling Ling opened the notebook and began to look up information about Hei Chuanjing.
Soon, Ling Ling found the horrifying documents of Kagura Kurokawa. These documents were internal documents of the Japanese government and were not open to the public. They recorded the horrific events that Kagura Kurokawa had massacred civilians.
This Kagura Kurokawa was definitely a murderous demon. He had massacred cities more than once, and the number of people who had died at his hands exceeded four digits!
Ling Ling finally understood why Officer Ozawa looked so panicked. If such a murderous demon were to appear, the entire Shuangshou Pavilion and even Osaka City would be seriously affected.
However, was this matter also related to the Red Devil?
The Red Devil should not be considered a murderous demon. He liked to control minds and turn everyone into his mind slaves.
Ling Ling's thoughts were a little chaotic. The special environment of the Shuangshou Pavilion caused many special things to brew and erupt. After being affected by the magnetic field of the Red Devil, they would be magnified.
However, who were the people who were really related to the Red Devil? Where was the Red Devil hiding? It was like a cunning game designer greedily staring at these people who had fallen into his Red Devil game.
Ling Ling was lying on the soft bed. She turned her head to the side and saw three simple drawings on the bedside table.
She had drawn the drawings near the suspension bridge. It recorded the situation when an army entered the East Guardian Tower. Ling Ling had a feeling that something was strange, yet she could not figure out the reason.
She casually picked up two pieces of paper, one in each hand …
She suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
With the help of the drawings, Ling Ling finally understood the difference between the two!
The first drawing was the scene when the army entered the East Guardian Tower. The third drawing was the scene when the army exited the tower and walked across the suspension bridge.
The number of people had changed!
When they entered the tower, there were around twelve people in the army.
When they exited the tower, there were thirteen people in the army!
There was one more person, it must be one more person!
Ling Ling sat up on the bed. She finally realized why she had a feeling that something was not right.
"Why would there be an extra person? Either there was already a soldier guarding the place, and the soldier came out with them after they went in, or the soldier brought someone out of the East Guardian Tower and asked him to wear a military uniform to fool the others. Does that mean the person they brought out was Hei Chuanjing?" Lingling said.
The soldier had brought Hei Chuanjing out?
Did someone use the soldier to help Hei Chuanjing break out of prison?
Or did the soldier do it on purpose?
It seemed like she would have to ask someone from the military to find out the truth.
"Why is he on the list too?" Ling Ling continued to flip through the pages. She suddenly noticed Takaqiaofeng's name on the list, too.
Takaqiaofeng had visited the Sacrificial Mountain, too. Most importantly, on the night of his visit, he showed signs of sleepwalking. He ran to the edge of the cliff and was severely injured by the yellow lightning. If he could not recover in a short period of time, he would lose his spot on the national team.
Ling Ling continued to flip through the pages. If she was not mistaken, the man called Mochizuki Seven Fields must have visited the Sacrificial Mountain, too.
If the Sacrificial Mountain was where the evil energy was stored, everyone who had done something strange would be on the list.
Ling Ling continued to flip through the pages until last month, but she did not see Mochizuki Seven Fields' name.
Ling Ling immediately drew a red circle around Mochizuki Seven Fields' name.
He was not affected by the Red Demon's magnetic field, yet he had done something out of the ordinary. Either it was his own doing, and he had been lusting after the woman for a long time, or he was the Red Demon, and the Red Demon had taken over his consciousness and memory as a side effect, causing him to do something beyond his control.
"That Hei Chuanjing might be the culprit too," Ling Ling noted down the name.
A man who was supposed to be imprisoned in the East Guardian Tower had shown up at the Sacrificial Mountain of the West Guard Pavilion. Either he had been brought out, or the Red Demon had taken his appearance.
Ling Ling wrote down the names of the two suspects. She was about to close the notebook when she hesitated for a moment. She reopened the list of suspects and created an empty slot. Ling Ling did not enter the name of the suspect in the slot, but she obviously had a third suspect.
