The letter?
Was it the letter that the Cold Hunting Emperor had written to Ling Ling? It had finally fallen into Ling Ling's hands after many years, and it had been entrusted to her.
Ling Ling's father, the Cold Hunting Emperor, had written a letter before the duel with the Red Demon. He had asked the experts of the Hunter Union to hunt down the Red Demon Yiqiu.
However, the Red Demon Yiqiu had tampered with the letter. It had only fallen into the hands of Mofan and Ling Ling more than ten years later.
"The Red Demon Yiqiu had asked us to kill the Little Red Demon Lu Kun in order to obtain my father's Soul Lattice. It was to fulfill my father's dying wish, to obtain the Righteous Soul, one of the eight Soul Lattices," Ling Ling said.
"That's right," Mofan nodded.
The Little Red Demon Lu Kun was only one of the Red Demon Yiqiu's pawns to obtain the Cold Hunting Emperor's Righteous Soul Lattice.
"Yiqiu is also one of the eight Soul Lattices. It represents the Righteous Soul Lattice. Do you remember?" Ling Ling said.
Mofan nodded. The Red Demon had followed the ritual of the Evil Temple's Eight Soul Lattices. If he wanted to become a Demon God, he had to follow the ritual to obtain the Eight Soul Lattices!
"I believe he already has the other seven Soul Lattices, but he's still missing one, which is his Righteous Soul Lattice. Otherwise, why would he choose the Shuangshou Pavilion as his final destination?" Ling Ling said.
Mochizuki No Ken and Nobuko Fujikata were listening to Ling Ling's analysis.
Righteous Soul …
Yiqiu was indeed a righteous man. When the others were being twisted by the negative energy of the evil orb, he took the orb away and helped Meijian, Xin Zi, and the others to recover. However, he had fallen into the trap and turned into the Red Demon.
"He sacrificed himself to help us," Mochizuki No Ken murmured.
"Since my father's main soul must fulfill his last wish, what do you think Kazuki's last wish is?" Lingling asked Mochizuki Ken and Fujikata Tegami.
"His last wish …" Nobuko Fujikata didn't know how to answer.
"Living in Shuangshou Pavilion, I can see familiar faces every day when I wake up. Even if I'm tired and busy all day, I still have to greet everyone with a smile. I watch my elders enjoy every evening, I watch my peers compete with each other and bury the hatchet. I watch my juniors sweat and work hard to become stronger …" At this moment, Officer Ozawa spoke. He used a very serious tone, but there was a lazy smile on his face.
Mo Fan and Ling Ling turned pale with fright when they heard this. They hurriedly turned their heads to stare at Officer Ozawa!
Could it be that Ozawa...
At this moment, Ozawa hurriedly reverted to his original appearance. He waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not Yiqiu. When I was very young, there was a summer when my friends and parents went out to play. My parents were on duty every day and didn't have time to care about me. I was alone in Shuangshou Pavilion. It was boring and I didn't have any friends. I said some very outrageous things. I said that I didn't want to stay in Shuangshou Pavilion for the rest of my life. It was no different from a prison. "
"When I said those words out of anger, Brother Yiqiu heard it. He came over to chat with me and accompanied me to the beach to play …"
"That summer, Brother Yiqiu taught me a lot of things. I had a lot of fun. The next summer, when I came back from school, I wanted to look for him again, but he just disappeared from the face of the earth. I only remember that time when we parted. He said those words to me just now. I still remember those words to this day, because I've been living by Brother Yiqiu's words all these years. I want to be like what he said, to treat Shuangshou Pavilion like my own home, to treat everyone like my family … "
Mochizuki No Ken and Nobuko Fujikata couldn't help but fall into a daze when they heard what Ozawa said.
Indeed, it was precisely because Yiqiu had treated each and every one of them like family that he had finally made that decision.
Mochizuki No Ken and Nobuko Fujikata regretted it even more. Why couldn't they have been more clear-headed and controlled themselves? At that time, the evil orb didn't have such strong magic power. It was their own greed and selfishness that had caused trouble!
"So the Red Fiend used the Blood Fiend's method to replace everyone in Shuangshou Pavilion. He let Yiqiu's soul live in a dream he weaved with his own hands to fulfill Yiqiu's dying wish," Ling Ling came to a realization.
It also explained why Ozawa, who was in such an important position, was not replaced by the Blood Fiend, nor was he influenced by the evil group.
Yiqiu saw himself in Ozawa. If Yiqiu had not been devoured by the Red Fiend, he would be living in Shuangshou Pavilion like Ozawa, managing the Shuangshou Pavilion and taking care of the Shuangshou Pavilion in silence.
"If Little Ze isn't Hong Mo's real body, then who is Hong Mo's real body?" Lingling fell into deep thought again.
According to Ozawa, the Red Fiend should be pretending to be Ozawa. After all, everything that Ozawa had was what the Red Fiend wanted. However, Ozawa was not affected at all. It was obvious that he was not the Red Fiend.
If he was the Red Fiend, there was no need for him to bring them into the East Guardian Tower. It would ruin his own plan instead.
"I have another question. If the Blood Fiend has completely replaced these people, why didn't he just kill them? Why did he bother imprisoning them in the East Guardian Tower?" asked Mofan.
"The Red Fiend has refined the prisoners into Blood Fiends. Unless their souls are destroyed, they will trigger the forbidding aura of the West Guardian Pavilion if they try to leave the West Guardian Pavilion. No matter who the Blood Fiend turns into, they won't be able to leave the Shuangshou Pavilion. However, the authorities in Osaka are going to investigate the East Guardian Tower. If the number of prisoners is decreasing, the authorities will interrogate the Pavilion Master. We need to replace the prisoners here to prevent the authorities from investigating us, "said the Pavilion Master Shigyo.
"One more thing, the Blood Fiends are absorbing our memories. If we die, these actors might not be able to keep the Shuangshou Pavilion running. In other words, they are slowly learning how to replace us, "said Nobuko Fujikata.
Mofan nodded.
"Mofan!" Ling Ling suddenly thought of something.
"What is it?" Mofan turned to Ling Ling.
"That chef! If that chef is the Blood Fiend, the fact that you used the Eyes of Deception to disguise yourself as him will be exposed soon! "said Ling Ling.
"Crap!" Mofan slapped his forehead.
Mofan did not use too much of the dark aura to knock him out, as he was worried that the dark aura would shorten his lifespan. However, if the chef was a Blood Fiend, he would wake up a lot faster than he had expected!
"Let's leave this place first!" said Ling Ling when she realized how serious the situation was.
They did not have time to save them. If they did not leave now, they would be trapped in the East Guardian Tower, too.
The mechanism of the East Guardian Tower was extremely terrifying. Even with Mofan's outstanding strength, if the energy of his soul was extracted, he would soon run out of energy, just like the prisoners!
