The early spring night was cool and the moon was cold.

Song Tianshan's familiar tone surprised Hei Xiong slightly. Seemingly understanding his meaning, Hei Xiong smiled, asked Yin Huan for a bank card, and placed it in Song Tianshan's hand.

"Ask whatever you want."

Money is being offered to people who come to them; why not take it?

Song Tianshan was very sincere and transferred the money without hesitation. He now understood why the Green Python and Black Bear had asked him for mundane items instead of miraculous elixirs. It turned out they wanted to make money for the demon prison.

The Special Security Bureau is getting worse every year; they're even skimping on the demons' food...

After transferring the money, Song Tianshan was straightforward and asked directly, "Was the little girl who was with you in town last time half-human and half-beast? What was her original form? Where is she now?"

Song Tianshan didn't want to beat around the bush; his purpose had already been revealed when he brazenly went to the prison to inquire about Huo Fei's half-human, half-beast nature.

And it was from that time that he vaguely sensed Huo Fei's wariness towards him.

"No, I don't know, I don't know." Hei Xiong's answer was equally straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

What half-human, half-beast? Silver Ring isn't half-human, half-beast at all; what was Nuwa's original form? Who knows? The little girl has all grown up; of course, he doesn't know where the little girl from before went.

Hei Xiong's answer was utterly shameless.

He wasn't stupid. Although Huo Fei hadn't mentioned that Song Tianshan had gone to the prison to look for him, judging from Song Tianshan's persistent and repeated attempts to follow him, this guy must have noticed that Yin Huan's identity was unusual back in the town.

That's why he kept pestering him when they met again.

Song Tianshan was slightly suspicious, his gaze fixed on Hei Xiong's face. Seeing that Hei Xiong showed no hesitation and didn't seem to be lying, he frowned, thinking to himself: Could I be seeing things?

No, he wasn't seeing things.

He was certain that he had indeed seen a tail under the little girl's skirt that day.

"Sorry to bother you," Song Tianshan said after a long silence.

Not getting the answer he wanted, Song Tianshan wasn't angry. He looked up, his gaze sweeping over Hei Xiong and Yin Huan, then leaped away and disappeared into the night.

He left very nimbly, not only without dwelling on Hei Xiong's question, which was essentially unanswerable, but also without asking Hei Xiong for the three million he had paid.

It's only three million. He'll go to the Special Security Bureau to get a bill, and he'll consider this payment as the Security Bureau's advance payment to the Monster Prison.

However, although he did not get the answer he wanted, Song Tianshan did not come away empty-handed.

Ever since he followed Hei Xiong to Hengdian before the Lunar New Year, he had felt that the girl traveling with Hei Xiong looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he suddenly realized that this girl was the same young woman who had been with Ahui at the stadium that day.

The person Huo Fei took away from the stadium that day after the incident seemed to be this little girl.

Ah Hui was familiar with her, and so was Huo Fei, who was also somewhat nervous about her. The demons present today were equally nervous about her.

Who is this little girl? Her face seems somewhat familiar... and she has a pure aura, she is not a demon.

But if they are human, why would they live with demons?

The mystery is getting thicker and thicker; perhaps he should start his investigation again from Penang.

By the way, go back to Penang and look for that helpful brother Ah Hui from back then; he might know something. But speaking of which, why would Brother Ah Hui be involved with demons? Wasn't he terrified of monsters?

Filled with doubts, Song Tianshan descended the mountain and immediately set off for Penang. After Song Tianshan left, Hei Xiong reminded Bai Mao to keep an eye on Song Tianshan and told him that Song Tianshan might be suspicious of Yin Huan's identity.

Upon hearing this, the demons felt a little uneasy and silently descended the mountain.

Days passed slowly, and more than half a year went by in the blink of an eye. Beneath the seemingly calm and uneventful days, turbulent waves were brewing.

The battle between humans and demons has officially begun.

In the past six months, natural disasters have frequently occurred in various places, with flash floods here and typhoons there. Underneath these natural disasters, however, lies a battle between humanity and evil.

In this struggle that transcends natural science, the ones who suffer the most severe damage are not the demon slayers and demons who instigated the conflict, but the ordinary people who are kept in the dark and know nothing about it.

Ordinary people don't care about all that; they all consider this year to be a year of many disasters. Apart from a few sighs in their hearts, they continue to live their lives.

Everything seems normal, but society is changing at an extremely rapid pace.

Human beings' selfish desires seem to be ignited, like sparks that gradually devour all living beings.

Street scams, brothers fighting over their fathers' private property, couples and fathers and sons going to court... everything seems to make sense, but those who know the inside story are even more on high alert.

Moreover, even the demon race and demon hunters were affected. Some demon hunters with wavering resolve, unable to resist temptation, lost their way and ultimately went astray, becoming evil cultivators.

Among the demon race, some demons who had been hiding in the deep mountains for many years seemed to have suddenly come to their senses overnight. Instead of following the rules and cultivating step by step, they wanted to take shortcuts to soar to the sky and start causing trouble in the world.

People's hearts are bewitched, and selfish desires are amplified.

A group of demon hunters, who were already struggling to deal with the demon, and Huo Fei were exhausted. Now, internal problems had arisen... They clearly understood that the changes were caused by the emergence of the demon, but they had no way to stop it.

Demons are masters of seduction; they are ubiquitous and insidious. Like inner demons lurking deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, they are elusive and impossible to guard against.
