"So everyone is suffering because of this source. Your Excellency Mofan, I believe in you." Ozawa nodded seriously.
He also hoped that this matter could be resolved perfectly and not turn the Shuangshou Pavilion into a huge tomb.
"It's daybreak. Have a good rest. Tonight is our last chance." Mofan looked at the faint sky outside.
Once the moonless night arrived, it would be the time for the Red Fiend to ascend. Mofan could not wait until then to take action. Therefore, the last bit of moonlight today was very crucial. Hopefully, this cold moon could illuminate the Red Fiend's ghostly figure …
Ozawa did not dwell on it any longer. He knew that a great battle was coming. He could not tell how many sober people were left in the Shuangshou Pavilion, but even if he was the only one left, he would continue fighting.
He covered himself with a blanket and lay on the sofa. Ozawa had not slept for two nights. Fatigue overwhelmed him as he fell into a deep sleep.
Mofan also needed to rest. He sat on the ground and glanced at Ling Ling. He saw that Ling Ling was still analyzing the information recorded in her notebook …
He left the rest to Ling Ling. She never disappointed him. She must have caught on to something. Otherwise, she would not be buried in her thoughts like this.
…
From time to time, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the house. Occasionally, neat military boots could be heard not far away. They seemed to be getting closer and closer, ready to barge in at any time.
Ozawa had brought them here to hide. It was strange. The patrolling officers had run around the area a few times, but they could not find the house. Perhaps only people like Ozawa, who truly understood the structure of the Shuangshou Pavilion, knew that there was a house that could hide people.
…
Mofan woke up at noon. Ozawa was already fast asleep on the sofa.
"I'm a little hungry," Ling Ling said.
"Let's go to the restaurant to eat. I'm hungry too. Ozawa, let him continue sleeping here. He has done his best. "Mofan said.
The fact that Ozawa was brave enough to bring them into the East Guardian Tower was already a great help. He would leave the rest to them.
After leaving the house, the two of them followed the forest path and headed straight to the dining hall.
It was rare for something like this to happen. The cafeteria was still open as usual. Many students could be seen having their meals in the cafeteria. They were chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened. Perhaps it was because of the chaos in the East Guardian Tower, or the betrayal in the West Guardian Tower, none of it was something they had to worry about. They just had to do their job as students.
After ordering two steaming bowls of bone broth ramen, Mofan helped Ling Ling break open the disposable chopsticks and handed them to her.
Mofan ate fairly quickly. He sprinkled some chili powder on the noodles and took a sip of the soup before taking a few mouthfuls of the noodles. Soon, only half of the bowl of ramen was left. Meanwhile, Ling Ling only tasted a few pieces of seaweed and took a few sips of the soup.
The cafeteria was still the same as usual at the beginning, but for some reason, the number of people in the cafeteria gradually decreased.
At first glance, it seemed like they were leaving as usual, but a few of the students had left for no reason after taking a few bites of the huge meal.
Looking at the time, it was the peak hour. Only a few people were left in the cafeteria. The students did not enter the cafeteria again.
Around five minutes later, Nobuko Fujikata, Mochizuki Chihaya, Shou Watani, and the others came to the cafeteria. Following them were the students of the National Training Hall. They seemed to have just finished their classes nearby, and were heading to the cafeteria.
"It's Mister Mofan and Miss Ling Ling." Yong Shan was the first to notice them. He blurted out to the others.
"Weren't they on the wanted list last night?" Shou Watani asked curiously.
He headed straight toward Mofan and Ling Ling. The others quickly followed behind him.
"Why did you come to the East Guardian Tower yesterday? It's a forbidden area now. Even the people working here have committed a serious crime by entering the East Guardian Tower without permission. You should know the rules, so why did you break the law? It's making things difficult for us," Shou Watani sat down. He did not look like he was looking at a fugitive.
Nobuko Fujikata came up to them too. She was staring at Mofan. Mofan raised his head and glanced at her, but he did not seem to be too bothered by it. He continued to eat his noodles.
He had to eat his fill. Otherwise, how could he possibly have the strength to fight the actors?
"It's a long story. I bet everyone is hungry. Let's sit down and talk," Mofan said to the crowd.
The dining table in the cafeteria was spacious. Everyone could sit down.
"Let's listen to what Mofan has to say. He might have his reasons," Mochizuki Chihaya suggested.
Nobuko Fujikata nodded. She would like to see what Mofan was up to.
…
The others had yet to order their food. Heavy footsteps were heard outside the cafeteria. The soldiers' boots shuddered as they stepped on the stairs. Even though a short fence was blocking their view, Mofan and Ling Ling knew that the cafeteria was completely surrounded by the people of the Army.
"The Army General's men are already outside. I hope you can give the Shuangshou Pavilion a reasonable explanation," Nobuko Fujikata said with a stern face, as if she had nothing to fear.
She was not afraid that Mofan and Ling Ling would expose her. The entire Shuangshou Pavilion was under the Army's control. The remaining people would not believe Mofan's words even if they heard it.
Mofan obviously knew what Nobuko Fujikata was thinking. However, he was not in a rush. He decided to finish his noodles first. Ling Ling was hungry, too.
"We did break into the East Guardian Pavilion last night. What happened inside was quite an eye-opener for us. You don't have to listen to me. You will realize what a terrifying world you're living in if you take a look yourself, "said Mofan to the crowd.
Only Nobuko Fujikata and Ishida Ike were certain to be Blood Demons. The others, like Mochizuki Chihaya, Mochizuki Shino, Nagayama, Takahashi Kaede, Shou Watani, and the others, were clueless.
The situation in the Shuangshou Pavilion was a little complicated. Apart from the Blood Demons who had taken over some important personnel, there was also a group of evil cultivators that had been brainwashed. Even though they were not replaced by the Blood Demons, they were basically brainwashed. Even when they saw the people being held captive in the East Guardian Pavilion, they assumed the captives were actually demon creatures.
"Rules are rules. We won't break them so easily. Let's hope it didn't cause any negative effects. Our Pavilion Master might show you mercy," said Ishida Ike.
"To be frank, no one in the West Guardian Pavilion can stop me. It's not like you're going to show me mercy, but it's up to me to show you mercy!" said Mofan with a smile.
