Lin Yuxi felt that this task was truly perplexing.
It was already dark.
Wouldn't it be even harder to find at night?
Lin Yuxi glanced at Yang Xiaochuan beside her: "Hey, aren't you usually the most talkative? Why are you so quiet today? Why don't you offer some advice?"
Yang Xiaochuan chuckled dryly: "I'm not as smart as you, how could I have any ideas?"
Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes.
Lin Nai said calmly, "Perhaps there is a way."
"Oh?" Lin Yuxi immediately said, "Tell me about it."
Lin Nai knew very well that if they searched using normal methods, it would be impossible to find those two spirit-devouring monsters among thousands of college students in a short period of time.
Putting aside whether his soul power is enough to maintain the Gray Eyes for such a long time.
Even if they were found, the souls of those two hosts would probably have already been completely devoured.
So we have no choice but to resort to some extreme measures...
Lin Nai looked at the college students still playing on the court under the lights and said, "It's almost 9 p.m. These students will be leaving soon after they finish playing. Where do you think these college students will go at this time?"
Lin Yuxi was taken aback, and after thinking carefully, she said, "The dormitory?"
Linna nodded: "That's right."
Lin Yuxi's eyes lit up.
Yeah, during the day, these college students might not go anywhere, but at night, what else can they do besides go back to their dorms to sleep?
"You mean we can pretend to be students checking dorm rooms and go from room to room?"
Lin Yuxi felt that this did seem to be a solution, and there was also a good reason to observe them closely one by one.
“No,” Linnai denied.
"Huh?"
"Checking rooms one by one is too slow. I have a faster way."
"What method?" Lin Yuxi asked suspiciously.
Lin Nai looked at her and said, word by word, "Set the dormitory on fire."
Lin Yuxi: "...Huh?!??"
She paused for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
Even Jiang Zhou rolled her eyes at Lin Nai after hearing this, thinking that this guy must be crazy.
Lin Yuxi: "...Lin Nai, the reward money we received for this mission probably won't be enough to cover the cost of a building..."
Lin Nai shook her head with a wry smile: "It's not that we're really going to burn it, it's just to make a show of it and scare them all out."
Lin Yuxi: "Oh...oh..."
She breathed a sigh of relief; at least they weren't really going to burn the building down.
Then he asked, "Why did you scare them all out?"
Linnaeus pointed to his eyes and said, "In my vision, I can see the outline of every person's soul."
"After observing for a period of time, I found that when a person's emotions change, the color of their soul also changes. The more intense the emotion, the more obvious the color change."
Lin Yuxi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is... When the color of their souls changes, you can tell who is possessed by the Soul Devourer! Even in a crowd, such a special person will definitely stand out!"
Linna smiled and said, "That's right."
Yang Xiaochuan remained silent, but his eyes darkened.
I thought to myself that Lin Nai was quite clever, actually managing to come up with this method...
Hmph, but it doesn't matter. No matter how smart you are, you probably wouldn't have guessed that the person next to you has been possessed by a spirit-devouring monster, right?
"So, what exactly should we do?"
Jiang Zhou, who had been standing silently with her arms crossed, asked.
"Let's wait a bit," Lin Nai said, looking at the college students playing basketball on the court. "We'll talk about it when the dorm lights go out."
......
Night Watch headquarters.
Liu He brewed a pot of tea and poured it into the cup in front of Wan Ye'er. He said slowly and deliberately, "The people below reported that a visitor from the Black Angel Civilization accidentally got lost during his interdimensional travel and wandered into Ye City. I thought it was some little Black Angel who hadn't been weaned yet."
Night rolled her eyes at Liu He, picked up her teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I never imagined I'd have the honor of having tea with the legendary Black Angel civilization's war ace," Liu He said with a smile.
"It's a weapon of war." Ye Wan'er, sitting with her legs crossed, sipped her tea and casually corrected, "There are so many powerful demonic descendants in the Black Angel civilization, what kind of ace am I?"
"Uh... I thought you would prefer a nicer way of addressing me."
"There's no need. Let things be as they are." Ye Wan'er pouted. "Being too hypocritical gives me goosebumps."
"Hehe, you're quite different from any of the Black Angels I've ever seen." Liu He paused, then changed the subject: "So, you really did get lost on your dimensional journey?"
"..." Night did not respond.
Liu He then asked, "Do you need me to help you contact your family?"
"No." Night's response was quick.
"Emmm..." Liu He touched his nose: "Excuse my bluntness, but you wouldn't happen to... have run away from home and sneaked out, would you?"
Night Child: "..."
Liu He could now be certain.
"Don't worry, I won't tattle," Liu He said with a smile. "You can stay here as long as you want, or you can stay at Lin Nai's place without any problem."
"You're the one who brought this up, so it's not like I owe you a favor," Ye Wan'er said, downing another cup of tea in one gulp.
