Chapter 620: The Master of the Lamp Demon

"There are still people living here? But even if there are people living here, the town's power supply should have been cut off. How come there are lights?" Zhou Wen was surprised and approached the shop on the corner cautiously.

The shop was a small supermarket on the corner. Many of the LED lights on the sign were broken, but a few were still lit. In such an environment, it looked a bit weird.

Zhou Wen used the ability of the Eavesdropping Earrings. Although the distance was still far, the situation in the small supermarket had already appeared in his mind, just like a holographic image. He could see everything clearly, and even in color.

Soon, Zhou Wen saw a young man lying on a wooden rocking chair in the small supermarket, with his eyes closed, swaying with the chair.

On the wooden table next to the rocking chair, there were some scattered snacks and a few open cans of beer.

The young man closed his eyes and enjoyed the rocking of the rocking chair, pouring beer into his mouth and throwing a few snacks into his mouth from time to time. He looked quite comfortable.

On the counter nearby, there was an oil lamp. The style of the oil lamp was very similar to the Demonic Chronicle oil lamp. It was obvious that it was not from the East District.

The flame of the oil lamp emitted white light. Strangely, in that white light, all the electric lights in the small supermarket were lit up, and a fan was also turning.

Zhou Wen had just taken a look when the flame of the oil lamp suddenly exploded. For a moment, a white light was radiant, which immediately made his ability to listen ineffective. He could not even hear what was happening in the small supermarket.

Zhou Wen was startled and looked towards the small supermarket, only to see that the young man had already walked out of the small city and was looking at him.

Beside the young man, an oil lamp was suspended in the air, and the flame had turned into the appearance of a god, somewhat similar to Aladdin's lamp in mythology.

When the young man saw Zhou Wen, his expression seemed to become a little strange. He stood there looking Zhou Wen up and down, as if he was very curious about Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen also looked at the young man, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. He was not handsome, but very stylish, the type full of masculine charm.

Zhou Wen was sure that he had never seen him before, and he looked rather unfamiliar.

As for the lamp next to him, Zhou Wen recognized it. It was the lamp demon on the ranking list. It used to be ranked third, but now it has slipped to ninth. The ranking is still very good.

"Please don't misunderstand me, I have no ill intentions. I just passed by here and saw the lights, so I was curious and came over to take a look." Zhou Wen said proactively.

The young man curled his lips and laughed, "Meeting is destiny. There's not a soul here besides us. Why don't you come in and have a couple of drinks? It'll save you a long, lonely night."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have something else to do and need to continue on my way, so I won't bother you anymore." Zhou Wen felt that the young man was a little weird and decided to stay away from him.

Unexpectedly, the young man laughed and said, "This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is no other way out except the way we came here. In such a desolate place, the only useful thing is probably the black cube in the town square. I'm afraid you came here because you, like me, don't want others to see your companion pet on the list, right?"

The young man's guess was naturally correct. Although Zhou Wen wanted to deny it, he couldn't seem to find a reasonable excuse.

"Now that you have seen my lamp demon, even if I know that your companion pet is on the list, you and I have each other's handles, and no one will suffer. I have been here for many days and have not seen even a fly. It is really boring. You can stay here with peace of mind and chat with me." The young man said with a smile.

Zhou Wen did not move. Since he had been discovered, he had decided not to let Tyrant Behemoth fight here.

Just as I was about to say goodbye and leave, the young man continued, "It's fine if you don't want to stay, but you already know my secret, and I don't have any evidence against you, so I naturally can't let you leave alive."

As he spoke, the lamp demon beside the young man had already arrived in front of him, stared at Zhou Wen and took a deep breath. The body formed by the condensation of the lamp flame suddenly doubled in size, and there seemed to be a vortex of flames flowing inside.

"You can choose whether to fight my lamp demon or stay and have a drink with me." The young man leaned against the door frame, took another sip of wine, and then looked at Zhou Wen with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep you company." Zhou Wen said and turned to leave.

The young man showed no intention of attacking, but simply said, "You know my companion pet is a Lantern Demon, yet you're unmoved. Yet you've come all the way to this godforsaken place to be listed. Your companion pet must be extraordinary, at least not inferior to my Lantern Demon. Even if you're not listed here, as long as I see a new top-tier mythical companion pet listed, I can guess it's yours."

Zhou Wen did not stop and continued to move forward.

The young man's voice continued, "Your name is Zhou Wen, right? Everyone in the Supervisory Bureau has a photo of you."

"Are you from the Supervisory Bureau?" Zhou Wen turned and looked at the young man. If the young man was really from the Supervisory Bureau, although he didn't like killing, he would have no choice but to use all means to bury the young man today.

"Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with the Supervisory Bureau." The young man spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "Like you, I'm also a target of the Supervisory Bureau. I've seen your photo and some information from the people in the Supervisory Bureau, so I recognized you."

"You came here to be on the list, and you have a powerful companion pet. I guess you must be up to something. However, the Supervisory Bureau doesn't seem to have any mythical companion pets on the list. Now I remember that you have a deep grudge with the Capet family. Are you planning to challenge the Capet family's companion pet on the list?"

The young man thought for a moment and laughed, "Chimera... you want to challenge Chimera, right?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Wen frowned and looked at the young man. He didn't say anything, but the young man could guess so many things just by seeing him here, as if he had looked through his memory, which really surprised Zhou Wen.

"Ye Bu Ku, he's ranked number one on the Supervisory Bureau's wanted list and has the highest bounty. Have you heard of him?" The young man took another sip of beer before continuing.

Zhou Wen had no idea who was number one on the Supervisory Bureau's wanted list, but he did feel a little wary of this young man.

"I know your secret now. Unless you kill me or give up your plan, it won't matter where you are on the list. Why don't you stay and have a few drinks with me? It will save you from being alone and lonely in this remote mountain area." The young man threw a can of beer to Zhou Wen.
