Chapter 65 The Storm Subsides
The fox demon's words made Li Muhan's brain explode.
Wasn’t she the one who kidnapped him???
The disappearance of those two children...?
"I was just cooperating with that woman... I erased the memories of the people in this orphanage. As for where she took those children, I have no idea."
That woman?
Li Muhan had a very scary idea in his mind at this moment.
There's more than one alien in this orphanage. If this wasn't done by this fox demon, then it could only be...
"That woman... actually wanted to use the Special Management Bureau to get rid of me so that she could monopolize all the children in this orphanage. She's got a really good plan..."
Whoosh——
At that moment, an unknown object suddenly shot out from the dark corridor and pierced directly through the fox demon's chest.
".......damn it."
The fox demon cursed and slowly fell backwards.
Li Muhan discovered that what pierced her chest was actually a feather.
He immediately drew out his Fujiang Zhenmo and looked vigilantly in the direction where the feather was shot. In the depths of the darkness, the sound of footsteps gradually emerged.
"You should kill her quickly."
Zhou Ling walked out of the darkness with a hint of coldness in her eyes, and a murderous aura was constantly released from her body.
"So you were the one who masterminded this? You kidnapped those two children?"
"I won't hurt them."
Zhou Ling said in a cold tone.
"I just want to give them a home and I'll be their mother."
The Guhuo Bird has another characteristic.
Li Muhan suddenly remembered what Lin Ziyu had said before.
They would steal other people's children and raise them as their own.
From a certain perspective, this type of person is unsafe and should not be allowed to work with children.
"The management of this Special Management Bureau is a mess."
Li Muhan cursed and raised his knife towards the Guhuo Bird, but the fox demon beside him was not dead. She was barely breathing and spoke very weakly.
"Human... be careful, that woman has a strange power. She is very strong..."
In fact, Li Muhan could already feel it without the fox demon saying anything.
The Guhuo Bird is a cholera-level anomaly.
But now the aura she released had clearly reached the annihilation level.
This reminded Li Muhan of Zhou Zhiguo, the alien who was only at the Chaos level but exerted cholera-level power when fighting Huo Tian.
The same is true of the Guhuo bird in front of us.
They all gained powerful powers that did not belong to them in a short period of time, which is definitely not normal.
At least Li Muhan had not heard of this situation in any of the previous files of the Special Management Bureau.
"Okay, just shut up and get some rest."
At this time, the surrounding temperature has returned to normal, which means that the fox demon's domain has been lifted. She is now lying on the ground very weakly.
Even though the wound had been sealed with the power of ice, he was still quite weak.
Li Muhan didn't expect her to participate in the battle.
"I don't want to conflict with the Special Management Bureau. I only want to kill this fox demon."
Zhou Ling walked towards Li Muhan step by step.
"She is also the target of your mission, so leave her to me."
"Our target is the aliens who kidnapped children. In other words, my only target right now is you."
Li Muhan stood in front of the fox demon, which made Zhou Ling frown slightly.
Then she sighed.
"That can't be helped, human."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Ling suddenly opened her arms.
At this moment, her hands turned into colorful wings, and under the moonlight, the wings sparkled with lively light.
Then a strong wind suddenly swept in, tearing all the windows in the corridor into pieces, and the strong wind swept the glass shards towards Li Muhan.
Li Muhan suddenly raised his sword to suppress the demon, and a barrier made of lightning appeared in front of him. Glass shards hit the lightning barrier as densely as raindrops, making bursts of crisp sounds.
Thunder and lightning collided with strong winds, making a series of sharp screams.
Li Muhan frowned. This power was too overbearing. He seemed to have consumed too much energy in the battle with the fox demon just now.
The lightning and thunder in this realm now are not enough to support him to use his incarnation again.
"Is this the power of the Annihilation-level alien..."
"Hey! Human! That's enough! Hand me over!"
The fox demon saw that Li Muhan was now at the end of his strength, so she grabbed the corner of Li Muhan's pants and said.
"No! Stop pulling my pants! Okay, just be quiet in the back!!"
Li Muhan was startled because his pants were almost pulled off. Because of this, a hole appeared in his barrier, and glass shards instantly rushed in and scratched his cheek.
"Damn it!! Stop making things worse!"
"I'm willing to sacrifice myself with good intentions!! What's with your attitude!?"
Just when Li Muhan could no longer maintain this barrier.
Another realm of power suddenly unfolded.
"Realm, zero-point space, unfold."
thumping--
Then the sound of a sniper rifle was heard, and Zhou Ling's body suddenly tilted to the side, and a bullet pierced her chest with incredible precision.
At the other end of the corridor, Su Xue was half-crouching on the ground, holding a sniper rifle in her hand. Her eyes were dull, as if she had no emotion at all.
“…”
Zhou Ling looked at her chest and felt no pain.
She raised her hand, and a feather suddenly flew towards Su Xue's position.
But just as the feather was shot out, the sniper bullet came again.
The feather shot through Zhou Ling's stomach accurately and at the same time made a hole in her stomach.
"In my realm, no matter how fast something is, it cannot escape my sight."
Su Xue said in a calm voice.
Just as Zhou Ling was about to speak, another realm of power unfolded behind her.
"The realm, the killing zone, unfolds."
Then, two daggers were silently placed against her throat from the shadows.
Even she, an annihilation-level alien, was unaware of all this.
"Sister Xue, Yin Qi?!"
It was the first time that Li Muhan saw the boundaries of these two people up close, and he was shocked.
Because of the addition of these two people, the situation of the battle has changed.
But Zhou Ling still didn't react. She looked at Su Xue in the distance, then at Li Muhan, and finally her eyes moved down to look at the dagger on her neck.
"Don't move."
Yoongi said coldly.
"You guys are too weak."
Zhou Ling sneered, and then suddenly spread her wings again. At this moment, countless feathers and strong winds came whistling together.
Yin Qi wanted to cut Zhou Ling's throat, but she suddenly found that the person in front of her was no longer Zhou Ling.
It was clearly a monster with a bird's head and a human body.
She exerted force with the dagger in her hand, but she couldn't even break the birdman's feathers.
thumping--
The sniper rifle bullet whizzed again, but still could not penetrate the feathers of the Guhuo bird.
"Is it my turn now?"
Zhou Ling flapped her wings violently, and countless gusts of wind and feathers began to pierce everyone.
Just at this moment.
A door at the end of the corridor opened.
"......Mother?"
A little boy came out rubbing his sleepy eyes.
In an instant, all the wind and feathers disappeared.
Zhou Ling also instantly returned to her human form.
She ignored Yin Qi behind her and walked towards the boy quietly.
"Mom...I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep."
The boy looked at Zhou Ling with a look of grievance.
However, Zhou Ling changed her previous cold attitude.
She squatted down and gently stroked the boy's head.
"Don't be afraid, Mom is here."
Then another child came out of the room.
"Mom, why is it so noisy? Who are these people?"
He pointed at Li Muhan and others and asked.
"Not important, kids, we're getting out of here."
"Mom, where are we going?"
"But Mom, we still have friends here."
Guhuo Bird gently held the two children in her arms.
"Mom will introduce you to more friends. We will always be together, and Mom will always protect you."
"Well...as long as I can be with my mom, I'll go anywhere."
"Me too, I love my mother the most."
Su Xue released the boundary, and the sniper rifle in her hand disappeared.
"Brother Mu Han, those are the two missing children."
She walked to Li Muhan and whispered.
Li Muhan nodded. Looking at this scene, he also felt it was a bit weird. Those children seemed to believe from the bottom of their hearts that the Guhuo Bird was their mother.
And he trusted her immensely.
"This woman...used my power to completely distort the cognition of these two children, asshole."
The fox demon also stood up with difficulty with the help of Li Muhan.
The Guhuo Bird turned around, looked at Li Muhan and his group, and then bowed.
"I just want to give these two children a home and not bring any other trouble to the Special Management Bureau."
"Where does your strength come from?"
Li Mu asked coldly.
"...This is part of the deal. I can't tell you, but please recognize the current situation. Everyone in the Special Management Bureau, I've spared your life. Please don't seek death."
When Guhuo Bird said the last sentence, a hint of murderous intent flashed in its eyes again.
Li Muhan understood that her strength was indeed very strong now, and he was not in a position to fight her head-on in his current state.
"You can't escape, Guhuo Bird."
Yoongi said coldly.
"Maybe..."
The Guhuo Bird stroked the heads of the two children, its eyes full of love.
"But not today, everyone in the Special Management Bureau. Let me give you a warning. An invisible force is quietly changing the aliens in this world. Perhaps soon, all of your archival materials will no longer be useful as a reference."
"Why don't you just tell us who is doing this."
Li Muhan asked.
"It's part of the deal, I'm sorry... Bye, everyone."
After saying this, the Guhuo Bird opened its arms, and its hands turned into wings again. Then it held the two children in its arms. A gust of wind surrounded them. When the wind dissipated, the Guhuo Bird and the two children disappeared.
......
When the first light of dawn shines on the earth.
The Mushan Welfare Home seemed to have returned to its original state, and everything that happened last night seemed like a dream and was unreal.
Last night, after the dust settled on everything that happened in the welfare home, people from the Special Management Bureau immediately came to take control of the situation.
Li Muhan was a little worried. After all, the two children were captured and the Guhuo Bird was nowhere to be found.
What is even more terrifying is what the Guhuo Bird said.
Someone is quietly changing the aliens in this world. From the Zhan Kingdom to the Guhuo Bird, their powers have been greatly enhanced, which will definitely become a hidden danger.
Lin Ze just smiled and comforted Li Muhan.
"This world is changing all the time. This applies to humans and aliens alike. We are all evolving. Don't worry, the Special Management Bureau will take care of everything. As for those two children, the Guhuo Bird won't harm them. They've already lost their parents, so perhaps the Guhuo Bird can really give them the love they've been missing."
This statement is just self-consolation.
Mission failure is a fact.
The fox demon must meet Li Muhan when he is taken into the car by the staff of the Special Management Bureau.
Li Muhan also fulfilled her wish.
"Hey, human, why did you save me then?"
"ah?"
"That is... why did you save me when that woman wanted to kill me to silence me?"
Li Muhan scratched his head and said with a wry smile.
"I didn't think too much about it. I just thought you might not be that bad. I asked Director Lin, and he told me that when you occupied that village before, you only deceived those men."
As for what Su Xue said before, that those men killed their wives and daughters, it was not true. It might be that the fox demon changed their cognition. As for why she did this.
"Hmph... wouldn't this make me seem more ruthless and stronger?"
"...I have to say, even though you're a fox demon who's lived for hundreds of years, I think your mind is as childish as a child."
"snort......"
The fox demon turned his head away awkwardly, but still glanced at Li Muhan secretly.
"Human, I'm convinced of my defeat this time. I will practice scientifically under the supervision of the Special Management Bureau. If there is a next time... I will not lose."
Li Muhan nodded.
After seeing the somewhat haggard but still beautiful fox demon being escorted into the car, he said the last sentence with a smile.
"But I think you look the best now. Why don't you stop practicing?"
“…”
The fox demon's face suddenly turned slightly red. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something to Li Muhan, but in the end she only uttered one sentence.
"Go to hell! Damn human!"
Then the car drove away.
Li Muhan was scolded for no apparent reason and was a little confused.
Lin Ze sighed, patted Li Muhan on the shoulder and said.
"Could you please stop trying to gain favor with these weirdos? The Special Management Bureau isn't your harem."
......
At the same time, Tianhai City University.
Gu Ruoxi fixed her makeup in the bathroom, checked herself, and found that she looked perfect today, so she made up her mind.
"...I'll come to you once, and if you ignore me, I'll never give you any chance to win me back."
She talked to herself in the mirror, as if to cheer herself up.
Afterwards she went straight to Li Muhan's class.
But I learned that Li Muhan had taken a leave today.
"Mu Han has been taking leave frequently recently, and his attendance rate is almost below standard."
In the corridor, Luo Yang was also confused by Gu Ruoxi's question.
"To be honest, he was really upset when you and he broke up, but lately he seems to be more buoyant than ever."
Luo Yang naturally knew that Gu Ruoxi had wronged Li Muhan. As a brother, he said this just to piss off Gu Ruoxi.
Gu Ruoxi was indeed angry.
She couldn't imagine how Li Muhan could still live so comfortably without her, just relying on that bad girl Xia Yue?
"...He must have been bewitched by that woman, who was only after his money."
Luo Yang snorted coldly and said.
"Miss Gu, don't assume everyone has to revolve around you. Old Li didn't do anything wrong to you. You were the one who abandoned him first. He has someone new now. If you truly regret it, then bow your head and apologize to him. I don't think you have any chance."
"you......!"
Gu Ruoxi's face flushed red with anger, but she couldn't find the words to refute.
At this moment, following the whispers in the corridor, a tall figure walked up to the two of them.
"Excuse me."
The two turned around and looked at the person who spoke, and then they were both stunned.
Because this person is none other than the recent celebrity, the transfer student from the North Country, Hati.
