Mo Fan did not say anything. He straightened his ears and listened carefully to what the girl called Guo Wenyi was going to say next.
Guo Wenyi had no choice but to continue when she saw the others urging her, "There's a ranch nearby, and they will let the cows and horses graze nearby. I assumed it was the smell of the cows and horses' dung, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. I continued to walk under the starlight."
"Aren't you worried that something might happen to you when you're walking alone at night?"
"She looks safe," said a naive boy.
Guo Wenyi did not seem to mind it. She continued as the others laughed, "I didn't walk far when I saw something wriggling in the grass on both sides. I vaguely saw a skinny person lying on the stomach of a horse … I initially thought someone was treating the horse because I smelled blood. When I got closer, I realized the person was eating the horse … eating it raw!"
Everyone's hair stood on end when they heard the story!
"The horse's stomach was cut open, and its contents were all over the ground. The strange man kept eating like a hungry ghost. I was scared out of my wits … I stood there for a long time, listening to the sound of its chewing. I didn't know whether it had discovered me or not, so I retreated step by step. It felt like the longest journey I had ever taken in my life. I kept feeling like it would turn around and let me see its face covered in blood. I saw the intestines hanging from its mouth. I thought it was going to eat me too, "said Guo Wenyi.
When she was describing this, she fell into a kind of fear of the memory. Her voice was trembling, and her body was trembling.
Guo Wenyi had never mentioned it to anyone, but it still felt like it had just happened yesterday. She decided to take the opportunity to share her fear with the others, so they could share the burden with her!
It was obvious that Guo Wenyi was telling the truth.
"Are you sure it was a human, and not a monster? I heard from my brother that there are some demon creatures hiding in the city. They live in dark corners, sewers, and deserted areas that we can't see. I believe you might have seen some kind of demon creature, "said Rong Sheng.
"I … I'm not sure, but generally speaking, it looks more like a human. It has hands, feet, a back, and is as thin as firewood …" Guo Wenyi said.
Mofan and Ling Ling looked at each other. They were almost certain.
"May I ask, where did you see it?" Mofan said.
"The Zuo Dao Ranch in Zhenming Town," Guo Wenyi said.
"No wonder you insisted on not going to Zhenming Town!" Another boy said.
"Yeah, I'm really scared of going there. I advise you guys not to go there either."
"It's just a story. Why are you taking it so seriously? There's a lot of fun in Zhenming Town. It's the peak of this trip," Zhao Pinlin said disapprovingly.
"I'm telling the truth," Guo Wenyi said angrily.
"Sigh, even if it's true, it was so long ago. I bet it's just some little demon that likes to eat horses. The Hunters have already killed it. There's nothing to be afraid of," Zhao Pinlin said.
"I think it's a little scary too. Why don't we skip the trip to Zhenming Town?" said another pretty girl. Along the way, a few boys were trying to get her attention. It was likely that she was the target of most of the boys in the trip.
Zhao Pinlin was scared when he saw Wang Xuxu. However, it was indeed the best place for them to find opportunities.
"How about this, I'll ask Manager Ji to invite a Hunter to accompany us. How does that sound?" Zhao Pinlin said.
"That … that's going to cost a lot, right?"
"It's fine, there are Magicians in the hotel," Zhao Pinlin said.
"A Hunter is willing to be our bodyguard. Zhao Pinlin, your family is pretty impressive!" Wang Xuxu said.
"Magicians aren't that impressive. They're willing to work for others just for the sake of money. It's reasonable to think of them as powerful bodyguards," Zhao Pinlin felt like he was floating in the air after being complimented by Wang Xuxu.
"You're right."
As Magicians, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Zhao Pinlin's words. However, Zhao Pinlin was right. Magicians in this world did have a higher status, but it was not as important as money. Some financial groups that did not belong to Magicians did not have a single Magician in their family. However, the Magicians under their command could easily form a small army, including some powerful Advanced Mages, or even Super Mages.
Magicians were in need of money. Unless they were planning to spend the rest of their lives like that, they would never have enough money to spend. It was even more so for Hunters. They had to team up with Magical Beasts, and when the claws of the Magical Beasts were right in front of them, no Magician would be willing to spend a few hundred thousand, or even a million to buy a good defensive equipment!
Inside the campfire hut, the group was having a great time. Most of them did not treat the stories seriously. They only returned to the hotel after midnight.
Zhao Pinlin kept looking for a chance to talk to Mu Ningxue, but Mu Ningxue did not even bother telling him a story. She simply went up the hill alone and came back not long after. It was nothing to be scared of.
…
…
Jingan Alley, Shanghai, in the attic of the Clearsky Hunter Agency …
The attic was not spacious. The windows had been sealed for half a year. Not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate the attic. The whole place was gloomy and cold.
The room was pitch-black, but a pair of luminous eyes suddenly glowed in astonishment.
"Gegegegege ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The owner of the Luminous Pupil stepped on the wooden floor and started to walk around the room.
The floor was rather old. An old man who was studying an orb in his room took off his reading glasses and slowly raised his head to look at the partition.
"The little girl is awake," exclaimed Old Man Bao.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a tall figure quickly ran up the stairs like a gust of wind. She arrived in front of Old Man Bao in an instant.
Leng Qing stared at the ceiling cautiously and said to Old Man Bao with a hint of anger, "There's a strong presence of evil in the attic. How old are you? Can't you sense that there's something living in the attic!?"
"Calm down, calm down. She's the little maid of some great demon. Tsk tsk, even the presence of this little maid has startled you. It seems like she has really evolved. She has been sleeping for half a year. It's time for her to be reborn, "said Old Man Bao with a smile.
Leng Qing frowned.
"Don't worry, she doesn't mean any harm," said Old Man Bao to Leng Qing.
"Humph, she better not be discovered by the Enforcement Union. The Enforcement Union doesn't care if she's a good vampire or an evil one!" said Leng Qing.
"Don't say that, she's still in charge of this area. The crimes of the Blood Tribe and the Dark Creatures related to the Blood Tribe have been greatly reduced recently. Don't be so stubborn. Help us cover it up and give her a proper identity. If there's a saint, there's going to be darkness. Instead of eradicating the darkness and causing more chaos, it's better to let the darkness exist in an orderly manner, "said Old Man Bao with a smile.
"Is this how you think when you were in charge of the Holy Judgment Court? What about the Black Vatican!? "asked Leng Qing.
