The lights in the room at the end of the hall were extinguished. For a moment, the long hallway was completely immersed in the night. The light from the faint crescent moon could only illuminate some of the pitch-black silhouettes of the Twin Guardian Pavilions. It was impossible to see what was happening inside.
In the small forest outside the corridor, a slender figure stood there. He had neat short hair and a pair of dark brown eyes that were still bright and spirited in the dark night.
Just a moment ago, his eyes were still fixed on the room with the lights on. Even after the lights went out, he still had no intention of leaving.
His body was shrouded in a layer of dark red evil energy. The bead hanging from his waist was also glowing with a special light, like a luminous pearl.
"Who's the person in the woods?" a night patrol asked as he walked to the edge of the woods.
Mofan walked out and looked at the night patrol. "I'm full. Let's take a walk in the woods. There's no need to be so nervous."
"It's midnight."
"Can't I have a midnight snack?" Mofan replied.
The night patrol lit up his flashlight and shone it on Mofan's face. As if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "You're the Mofan who defeated Instructor Shou Watani with a single move!"
"You're too kind. Shou Watani didn't want to fight with me and wanted to concede," Mofan replied with a smile.
"You're strong. There's no need to be so humble. Although you're from China, we've always respected the strong. There's no distinction between countries. Can I take a picture with you?" the night patrol asked.
Mofan thought for a moment and nodded.
The night patrol happily took out his phone and took a picture with Mofan. Mofan was a little uncomfortable with the flash, but he didn't close his eyes. The picture looked very natural.
"Thank you, thank you. I didn't expect to take a picture with someone as amazing as you!" The night patrol left in satisfaction.
…
After the night patrol left, Mofan waited alone in the woods for a while. When he didn't see anything, he chose to leave.
Not long after Mofan left, there was some movement in Ling Ling's room.
Ling Ling put the laptop on the bed and covered the light from the laptop with the quilt.
Hiding under the blanket, Ling Ling opened the previous suspect column and filled in the blank third suspect — Mofan.
…
At dawn, Ling Ling's little head popped out from under the blanket.
She looked in the mirror …
Ling Ling didn't sleep for the whole night, and dark circles immediately appeared under her eyes. If it was in the past, Ling Ling wouldn't care much about it. She often didn't sleep for a few days just to look for abnormal information.
It was different now. She had to be beautiful every day.
She used some eye cream to cover it up. Compared to a few days ago, her complexion was much worse today, but she didn't seem to have any problems.
After changing into a simple set of sportswear, Ling Ling started her morning run. After exercising, she went to take a shower. After the shower, she put on a complete makeup and went to the dining room to have breakfast energetically.
She had maintained such a healthy lifestyle for more than a year now. After saying goodbye to her bad habits of being a night owl, being a milk tea addict, and skipping meals, she was finally like a seventeen or eighteen year old girl. Her entire body was filled with youthful vitality, and the unique charm of her age was like a blooming orchid …
After breakfast, Ling Ling went back to the house to start her hunter's work for the day. When she entered the house, she found a photo stuck in the crack of the door.
The photo seemed to have just been printed. There was still some ink smell on it.
It was a group photo. A man dressed as a night patrol had a bright smile on his face. He was taking a picture with Mofan in the woods. Mofan's expression was normal, but his dark brown eyes looked a little strange because of the flash. Generally speaking, there was nothing wrong with him.
A smile gradually appeared on Lingling's face as she looked at the group photo.
"I stayed up all night for nothing." Ling Ling pouted.
With Mofan by her side, Ling Ling could have slept soundly for the whole night.
…
The moonless night was coming.
Strange deaths were constantly happening in the West Guard Pavilion. But these deaths had a pure "motive" and could be explained with reasonable reasons. Unsurprisingly, most of these strange deaths were from the list of visitors that Ling Ling had obtained from the sacrificial mountain.
The dark energy was at the sacrificial mountain. This was 100% certain. Those who had been there were severely affected by the Red Magic Magnetic Field. Their emotions were magnified to the point that they used death to end themselves.
Ling Ling could not stop them. Even if she knew that she had a list of people who would gradually die, she could not stop a group of people who wanted to die.
She knew the location of the dark energy, but she was not completely sure who the Red Fiend Yiqiu was.
Now, Ling Ling was sure that the Red Fiend had a clone, and his clone was also acting as someone. The Red Fiend Yiqiu himself had not revealed any flaws.
The Red Fiend Yiqiu himself was waiting for the moonless night. His clones were causing trouble in the West Guard Pavilion. Ling Ling knew who they were acting as, but she could not simply attack them. Doing so would only make the Red Fiend Yiqiu hide even deeper.
"The East Guardian Tower, as long as we can make a trip to the East Guardian Tower, we can basically determine who are our allies and who are our enemies," Lingling held a notebook in one hand and a pencil in the other.
The entire Shuangshou Pavilion gave off a strange vibe. If it were a normal Hunter, they would have easily fallen into these strange events.
But Lingling was different. She was best at connecting those seemingly unimportant things, and at the same time, eliminating the truly unimportant things.
"Master Ling Ling, the West Guard Pavilion is now in a state of panic. If you know anything, please tell us. The students are not in the mood for training, the soldiers are having a hard time getting along, and even the higher-ups are starting to suspect each other. Everyone is saying that the evil gang from years ago has risen again. This gang is devouring everyone here. Those who are close to you might become one of them and take away your most precious thing at any time," Ozawa said in a serious tone.
Not long ago, the Pavilion Master had sealed off the Shuangshou Pavilion after Hei Chuanjing had escaped from the Shuangshou Pavilion. He forbade any visitors from visiting the place, and forbade anyone from leaving, as the murderer Hei Chuanjing was hiding somewhere in the pavilion.
Ozawa initially wanted to hire other Hunters, or even report to the higher-ups in Osaka City. However, after the Pavilion Master gave the order, the Shuangshou Pavilion became a forbidden place. No one was allowed to leave before they found Hei Chuanjing.
Ling Ling was the only Hunter in the Shuangshou Pavilion. That was because Ozawa had asked Ling Ling to take care of some trivial matters. However, he did not expect the situation to be so serious.
