In the evening, the drunk Pang Jie was helped by his servant back to his room in the hotel.
I visited my son first, then washed up and stood by the window drinking tea and thinking.
A servant knocked on the door and brought in a piece of information.
"Master, this is the latest information about demon slayers and demons."
Many factions have their own intelligence networks, but they're not professional and rarely sell them. However, the Hunter's Guild has a dedicated intelligence network that sells intelligence to all sea merchants at a fair price. As long as you're a sea merchant and recognized by the Hunter's Guild, you can get it.
Pang Jie took the intelligence, checked it, and after finding no damage, he opened it and began to read it. As he read, he analyzed it muttering to himself.
"In just three months, this demon slayer has hunted down ten demons! His searches are incredibly precise! If he doesn't have his own intelligence network, he must have some kind of artifact or magical power to locate demons."
The Pang family got involved in the fight between the Demon Slayers and the demons, so Pang Jie abandoned his family and business and fled overnight. Naturally, he was very concerned about the intelligence of the Demon Slayers and the demons.
In addition, the strange fact that Lin Qiao'er is a demon and Liu Shao is actually a demon slayer makes Pang Jie and Chu Qing different, and he is more deeply involved!
Although the two later revealed in their conversation that this person was not Liu Shao, but an imposter, this was the identity most clearly known to the Demon Slayer. Despite knowing it was a fake, many forces were still trying to gather information about Liu Shao, putting Pang Jie, Liu Shao's father, in a difficult situation.
How could Pang Jie not love Liu Shao, his eldest son? Recent intelligence confirmed that Liu Shao was definitely dead, likely killed by the enemy, and then transformed into Liu Shao's appearance. Add to that the fact that Lin Qiao'er died at the hands of the Demon Slayer, and two of his closest relatives had died at the hands of this man. This was revenge for the murder of his wife and son!
Although his own strength and influence were not enough, he still hoped that one day he would get the news of the other party's death. This would also be considered revenge for his wife and children!
Another point is Lin Qiaoer's identity. Although she is a demon and the illegitimate daughter of a declining family, she has an extraordinary background and possesses many magical treasures.
For example, the treasure in Lin Qiao'er's hand that could provide a warning. How could an illegitimate daughter actually possess such a treasure? This demonstrates the power and wealth of the Lin family!
Not long after she followed me, she received a warning from the Lin family to treat Lin Qiao'er well, but Lin Qiao'er died. Although she did not kill herself, it is an indisputable fact that she died in her own house after all.
Even a family like the Liu Family, which had been in decline for thousands of years, had a strong foundation, let alone the Lin Family, to which Lin Qiao'er belonged?!
They are still demons. These man-eating monsters are not good things either. It would be better if they all died!
"Outsiders are all bad people!" Thinking of this, Pang Jie cursed in a low voice.
Let’s look at the intelligence again.
"Devil Fruit? Demons are transformed from humans by eating devil fruits? This news is so important!"
We used to know about demonic invasions, but we had never seen a demon. Now there are demons, but we are very unfamiliar with their origins, abilities, etc. The unknown is the source of fear.
Now that we know that demons are transformed from demon fruits, we can take precautions in advance.
"News from outside the realm? Wasn't there speculation about this two months ago? Why is there still information now? Oh? There's the most detailed conversation between the two people in the Chu Mansion on Jinlin Island. It's Jinlin Island's secret. Blocked by the Navy and the Hunter's Guild, it's not allowed into the intelligence network and is only circulated within Jinlin Island. But isn't it said to be difficult to buy? I didn't expect it to be available this time! Jinlin Island, as expected, I came to the right place!"
Pang Jie had heard of confidential intelligence that wasn't disclosed to other islands before, but he had never encountered it before. Unexpectedly, he encountered it this time.
"No, it's not accidental. It's because of the deal I made with Chu Qing that the other party posted the information and bought it in his name. This conversation is confidential to those of us on the outer islands, and it may also be confidential to the people on the island, but for the participants, the Chu Mansion, it is not a secret. It can be sold publicly. As long as you buy it. As expected, the deal with Chu Qing was a good move. The profit is secondary, but this kind of information cannot be bought with money."
I read the conversation between the two carefully, and there was also an analysis and explanation from the Hunter Guild at the end.
"Higher-dimensional creatures? Lower-dimensional creatures? Pollutants? Hosts? According to their conversation, Demon Slayers and Demons are not higher-dimensional creatures, but merely vassals of higher-dimensional creatures or hosts for treasures they created!?"
"Hiss—if that's the case, then just how powerful are the high-dimensional creatures behind them?!"
Summer insects cannot talk about ice!
I am too insignificant!
Pang Jie suddenly had this feeling!
But Pang Jie was a great man after all, and he quickly calmed down.
"No wonder this information isn't allowed to be sold freely! If too many people knew about it, it would cause such a huge mess!"
After the initial shock wore off, Pang Jie carefully looked at the intelligence again and found some suspicious points.
"Based on the information I gathered from personally observing the situation on Huishou Island, the Demon Slayer isn't a particularly talkative person. His attitude is quite... cynical. But he's very serious here! So serious that it almost seems fake? Both of them are fake!"
Pang Jie thought for a moment and deduced, "This was done intentionally by the two of them! They deliberately spread the news that the two were from outside the realm and separated them! I just don't know if it was a plan by one person or a tacit understanding between the two!"
"It can't be tacit understanding. They are sworn enemies! However, they can't be without common ground. Both of them are related to aliens. It's just that their origins are different and they are in opposition."
Thinking of this, he said bitterly, "The most abominable thing is, if you have a grudge, why not go to your own world or another world to fight it? Why do you have to do it in this world? You've harmed my wife and children! This grudge is irreconcilable!"
Pang Jie took out a map with ten black dots on it and annotated them. He took out a pen and put an ink dot on an island on the map, comparing it with his own.
"Where is this person going? Is there really no fixed number? Is it just random? If I could find the pattern, it would be great. I could know the location in advance, trap the experts, ambush him, and give him a fatal blow!"
"Or sell it to the Hunter Guild or the Navy and deal a fatal blow to them!"
After studying for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.
"Oh——" Pang Jie stood up from the map and looked at the night view outside the hotel, but still got nothing!
"Indeed, the intelligence I received was filtered. Although accurate, it wasn't new. If it was important information, it would have been obtained and sealed by those people long ago."
