November 27, winter evening.

Brett, who had been tired outside all day, hurried back to the temporary camp after hearing the news. He heard the sound of fighting from afar. When he got closer, he found that the extraordinary people of the joint investigation team were all gathered on one side, helplessly watching a fierce battle between red and black extraordinary people on the open ground that was as fast as the wind.

Brett did not act rashly, but immediately found You Jian, who was sitting on a chair eating melon seeds, and asked, "Brother You, what happened?"

"Hmm?" You Jian spat out the melon seed shells and said, "Isn't this obvious? Beauty and the Beast."

Bright couldn't help but laugh and asked, "So why did Kyoko and Ursa fight?"

The ones fighting on the open ground in the camp were two rank four warriors, Sakura Anko from the Spirit Hall and Ursa from Winter Castle. Although they seemed to be restraining the power of their attacks and no splashes affected other people, the ground where they were fighting was so deep that a giant crater was about to appear!

It just so happened that both of them were strong melee-type extraordinary people. Once they started fighting, countless sparks flew from the collision of spears, fists and claws. The occasional strong wind that leaked out could plow cracks in the soil. The extraordinary people who wanted to watch had to stay far away.

You Jian hooked his finger back, took the iced black tea that Chen Liao handed over with a gloomy face, and said while drinking: "There is a problem with the logistics of Wuhun Hall."

"What's the problem?" Brett was slightly startled: "Is Russia very picky about food?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the Spirit Hall underestimated the Russian man's need for alcohol. The alcohol content of the alcohol provided by the Spirit Hall was too low." You Jian said, "What he needed was a strong alcohol that would burn his brain. The alcohol content of the alcohol sent by the Spirit Hall was not even as high as medical alcohol. He couldn't get drunk at all."

The people of Fanying have always liked to drink sake, shochu and beer. Among them, shochu has the highest alcohol content, but it is only 45 degrees at most. Compared with the spirytus (water of life, a general term for alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of more than 96 degrees) that Ursa drinks all day, it is simply a younger brother.

I guess Winterhold didn't tell Spirit Hall about their need for alcohol. Who would have thought that they would have to stay in the Missile Mountains for two days and two nights.

The supplies that Spirit Hall quickly sent over were already quite comprehensive, as could be seen from the melon seeds in You Jian's hand. But they had no idea that someone would need to drink the water of life when performing a mission.

"But he didn't have any wine to drink, why did he fight with Xingzi?" Brett continued to ask.

"He had no wine to drink, so of course he went to find the person in charge of the Spirit Hall. The little sister had gained nothing today and was also very angry. They started fighting after just a few words." You Jian shook his head: "It's winter now, why are they still so angry..."

Bright nodded slightly, and without asking any more questions, he asked the watcher for a bottle of water and stood aside to rest. You Jian was a little surprised: "You don't want to stop them?"

"Why stop them? They need to fight." Brett said, "We couldn't find the Demon King today. As the head of the Spirit Hall, Xingzi is under the greatest pressure. Ursa is full of resentment, but he can't suppress it with wine, and he can't find the Demon King for revenge... It's not good for them to hold it in their hearts. It's best to have a good fight now."

"And they are also very restrained, rarely using strong killing superpowers... If that's the case, why should I stop them? Brother You, didn't you see this, so you were watching from the side?"

You Jian snorted: "I just want to watch the show."

"Brother You, you are also a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Brett glanced at the battle in the arena: "They seem to be tired too... I'll go give them a reason to stop the fight."

As he spoke, Bright flashed into the battlefield, rushed into the gap between the two people's confrontation, drew his sword to block Sakura Anzi's spear, and held down Ursa's thunder fist with his left hand, stopping the two people who were fighting fiercely in an instant!

"You two, for God's sake, stop." Brett said, "It would be a pity if the devil appears and you don't have the strength to fight."

The two who were about to stop immediately backed off. Sakura Kyoko scolded, "For the sake of your handsomeness, I'll let you go this time. Next time, I'll have a taste of braised bear paws!"

Ursa stared at her, then suddenly burst into laughter: "A warrior will not fight with a little girl under 1.5 meters tall."

"What do you mean 1.5 meters tall?" Sakura Anzi was so angry that she almost jumped up and shouted on tiptoe: "I obviously..."

"Alright, alright." Brett soothed them gently, saying, "You two, I know you're upset because there's been no progress, but after venting your anger, you should fulfill your responsibilities as the person in charge. Everyone is watching you."

The two fell silent. At this time, Bright clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone, you have worked hard on the search tonight. It's time to change shifts and take a rest!"

Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the extraordinary people who were watching went back to the barracks to eat and rest. Brett looked at Ursa and said with a smile, "I have a bottle of whiskey over there. Can I bring it to you later?"

Ursa glanced at him, was silent for a moment, burped, and said, "Want to have a few drinks with me, brother?"

"That's not necessary. I hope to stay sober when I'm on a mission." Brett said, "I can't drink as much as you, Ursa. If I drink, I might get drunk and go crazy. I don't get anything today, and I feel bad."

Hearing this, the two of them showed a trace of embarrassment. At this time, Daze, who was also watching the show, came over and asked, "Mr. Leopold, does the Watcher have more accurate information about the Demon King?"

Bright smiled bitterly, "Not yet. Captain Zach hasn't found the devil's followers who caused the chaos, so he can't make a prediction... but the devil should still be in the mountains."

Sakura Anzi was very discouraged: "But a day has passed. If she had tried her best to travel, she might have reached Toyama Prefecture..."

"It doesn't matter. She's alone." Brett said, "We represent the will of the whole world. We will definitely defeat the evil demon king... and the surrounding cities have already made arrangements, right? She can't escape."

"Of course." Sakura Kyoko said immediately: "All residents of the surrounding cities know that there are two extremely dangerous Xuan country men and women on the run. All police forces in Kinki and Chubu regions have been mobilized. Once they appear in the city, they will definitely be discovered."

"That's good...where's Kader?" Brett asked.

"He requested to search alone and has not returned for a single day," Daze said.

"Everyone is working so hard to catch the devil..." Brett sighed, then suddenly slammed his palm and said loudly, "Okay, I'm going to search all night tonight!"

Sakura Kyoko was slightly startled, then she leaned hard on her gun and said, "I want to search all night too!"

The search plan they had originally formulated was to deploy personnel to search during the day and be on duty at night, with the six extraordinary people staying in the camp to provide support at any time. It was not that they were unwilling to work overtime, but the efficiency of searching at night was too low, the light was too weak, and the drones were almost completely ineffective. It was very likely that the Demon King would be missed, so it was better to get enough sleep and rest.

"If you don't sleep well, it may affect your growth." Brett laughed. Sakura Anzi's expression changed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and decided to search all night.

Ursa suddenly said, "I'll search too. If there's no wine to drink, then let's move around."

Seeing this, Dai Ze had no choice but to follow suit and join the hard-working search team. After eating some melon seeds, You Jian clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Then I will take on the most important task and stay in the camp."

"Thank you, Brother You." Brett looked around and said seriously, "Justice will surely triumph over evil. I wish you good luck. I will continue my search."

Watching Brett throw the water bottle into the temporary trash can, gathering the watchers and walking out of the camp with their heads held high, Daze sighed softly: "Hiporisia (hypocrisy)..."

Sakura Kyoko immediately glared at Dai Ze and said, "What did you say?"

Dai Ze had no idea that Sakura Kyoko could speak Portuguese, so he immediately kept silent. Sakura Kyoko snorted, looked at the direction where Bright left, and couldn't help but sighed: "Why isn't he from Fanying..."

"He should be Russian. Only cold and strong liquor can make such a warrior." Ursa took a sip of the newly acquired whiskey, and the anger on his face subsided a little. He said, "I like this blond boy."

You Jian, who was on his way to the dining area to eat, suddenly turned around and asked Chen Liao: "What do you think of Brett?"

"Handsome, friendly, passionate, powerful, and has a strong personal charm." Chen Liao said without hesitation: "For the Federation, he may be more important than the angel Zach."

You Jian shrugged and muttered, "It seems that only he and I have not fallen..."

…

On the other side, after leaving the camp for a distance, Bright said to the watchmen: "I am going to leave for a while to check a small matter. You patrol along the established route and do not disclose my situation."

"No problem, Brett!"

"Go ahead, I heard Fanying's bubble bath is pretty good..."

"OK."

Even though Bright didn't give any reason, the watchers obeyed his orders without hesitation.

Brett said goodbye to them with a smile, and walked to a hidden tree. Looking at the setting sun and the chaotic snow, he whispered softly, "detetevil, max."

He groaned, covered the blood flowing from his nose with the prepared tissue, shook his head, and whispered: "Sure enough..."

Throwing away the tissue, Brett hid his tracks, walked through the snow and forest, and moved quickly to the north.

The blood-stained tissue fell on the withered yellow grass leaves, emitting an enticing rusty scent, attracting the hunter who had been waiting for a long time.

…

…

arrive.

When Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi overcame all obstacles and climbed over several mountains in the dark, and saw the mountain hut with warm lights on, they both felt calm.

They didn't encounter any battles, and they didn't even see a single person along the way. They even took the time to eat some fried chicken. The two of them went on an outing holding hands as if they were on a date. In the end, they wanted to see who would be so lucky as to become the clue to Qiao Muyi. They just needed to kill someone to liven up the atmosphere.

This mountain hut is a Gassho-style hut, like those houses in Shirakawa-go, with an 'a'-shaped roof, which has now been dyed white by the snow. The further north you go, the stronger the wind and snow.

Ren Suo couldn't help but say, "It looks like the heavy snow in Feida will arrive early this year. We may see snow in early December... Tsk, our luck is not good enough."

"Not good enough, but it's already very good." Qiao Muyi responded with a smile, and then strode towards the hut. At this time, Ren Suo remembered something, pulled her back, and strode forward himself, kicking the wooden door open!

At the moment the wooden door was broken, a blood shadow burst out from inside and attacked Ren Suo like a sharp arrow!

Qiao Muyi, who was well prepared, slapped the man in the face and grabbed the back of his neck. The man instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Although the "finger lock" Qiao Muyi used also had armor-piercing and suppressing effects, it was so powerful that it was like castrating the opponent.

However, Qiao Muyi frowned at this time and squinted his eyes at Ren Suo.

"Did you know he would jump out? That's why you stopped me and went to open the door yourself?"

Isn't it said that falling in love can make people lose their minds? Ren Suo muttered to himself, then said frankly: "Well... isn't it common sense not to let your girlfriend take risks?"

"No." Qiao Muyi said, "It is common sense for the strong to protect the weak."

Ren Suo had no way to refute. Not to mention that Qiao Muyi's magic power was far beyond the norm, even if the two of them didn't use magic, if Qiao Muyi got angry, she could easily pin him down with her physical strength alone, and he wouldn't be able to resist.

"Don't do that next time."

Qiao Muyi gave an instruction and lowered his head to look at the spoils of tonight.

The strange man whose neck she had pinched kept his head down and looking at the ground. He probably couldn't understand the Mandarin they were speaking, otherwise he would probably have been attracted by their dog food conversation.

"Don't play dead." Qiao Muyi switched to Japanese and asked, "I have something to ask you."

"Who are you? Why are you breaking into my house?" The strange man kept his head down and looked at the ground. He seemed a little hunched over, and his long hair looked greasy due to unkempt appearance. However, there was no fear in his voice. Instead, there was an indescribable calmness and confidence.

"Look at me!" Qiao Muyi said sternly. Not to mention the strange man, even Ren Suo was startled. How can you speak so majestically when you are serious?

Wait, he is stronger than me, speaks with more authority than me, and maybe even makes more money than me...

Hey? So I'm a gigolo?

Just as Ren Suo discovered a wonderful truth, the strange man slowly raised his head, revealing a haggard, bearded face of a middle-aged man.

Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi almost instantly noticed his pair of eyes that were full of energy and vitality. The burning fighting spirit was visible to the naked eye. It was not obscured by his ordinary and sloppy appearance, but instead became more pure and shining.

Ren Suo had seen it once in the game, but seeing this look in real life still gave him a great shock. Who could make such an ordinary person who had been at the bottom of society for a long time, with no hope in life and just muddling through, glow with such brilliance?

No greed, no desire, only endless determination and piety!

The long-haired man glanced at Qiao Muyi and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You..."

"Look at me! Do you still remember me?" Qiao Muyi asked coldly.

"It's... it's you!?" The long-haired man's voice suddenly became louder, his happiness was beyond words, and he even shed tears of joy. If Qiao Muyi hadn't pinched the back of his neck, he might have knelt down on the spot to lick Qiao Muyi's shoes: "Your Highness the Demon King, you actually came here in person!?"

Qiao Muyi thought: Sure enough, according to the guidance of the "Detective's Eye", he is the devil's follower who has a close connection with the source of the chaos in Gravel and Flats. Although I don't know how he was bewitched, the image of the devil that he remembers in his heart is indeed me!

When the Watchers make predictions through the living followers of the Devil, the followers of the Devil remember my impression and will naturally make predictions about me!

And they were not lying. In their hearts, the devil was indeed me.

"Tell me all the tasks I assigned to you." Qiao Muyi asked.

The long-haired man was so excited that he kept taking deep breaths, trying to sit up straight, staring at Qiao Muyi with fanatical eyes, and said, "Kill someone."

"What else?"

"No more." The long-haired man lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, Demon King, I have always faithfully carried out your orders, hiding in tourist scenic spots and killing a total of 139 travelers as a staff member. I have not been discovered by the Spirit Hall, and I have never shown mercy!"

Qiao Muyi showed a trace of disgust in his eyes: "The source of the chaos in the mountains and forests over in Gaoshan City, is it related to you?"

The long-haired man said, "That really scared me. I went there to hide the body and to see if there were any tourists passing by. Suddenly, there was an earthquake and landslide, and then the monster appeared... I ran home in a hurry.

Later I heard that the Spirit Hall and the Watchers had sent people to subdue the monster. I didn’t dare to go out to work for several days, for fear of attracting the attention of those extraordinary people…

"Your Majesty, I really had no choice during those days. It was not my intention! I worked all night for several days afterwards, and even went to Nanli City to break into houses and kill people, just to make up for those days of rest! I really worked very hard and seriously, and I never let down everything that Your Majesty has given me!"

Qiao Muyi couldn't help but increase the strength of the hand that grabbed the back of his neck, and asked coldly: "Then tell me, what did I give you?"

The long-haired man said: "The gifts that the Demon King bestowed upon me are engraved in my heart. They are powerful super powers and a..."

Suddenly, the long-haired man's throat gurgled, and the bones in his body suddenly reversed. His head exploded, and the spot turned into a flower of blood.

Qiao Muyi reacted very quickly. The moment the long-haired man showed signs of abnormality, she rushed towards Ren Suo and quickly retreated while holding Ren Suo. At this time, Ren Suo whispered, "There's more!"

Qiao Muyi did not stop and continued to use "Ghost Sprint", skimming across the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water and hiding in the jungle on the other side!

Just as they were dodging, an invisible sword energy swept past, and mud five meters high was blown up from the ground!

"Ah, ah, ah."

Under the moonlight, Brett, wearing a white windbreaker and holding a long sword, walked slowly out of the woods, still with a friendly smile on his face.

He looked at Qiao Muyi, sighed, and rolled up the golden hair beside his ear with his left hand. He said with great regret: "You are not willing to be a competent demon king, but you are also unwilling to die obediently. It's really embarrassing."

Qiao Muyi let go of Ren Suo, walked out of the jungle, blocked Ren Suo's figure, and said in a cold voice: "It's you!"

At this moment, Ren Suo, lying in the bushes, took a deep breath and forced himself to calm the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

He let out a long breath and reached into his coat pocket.

No.

Ren Suo's face turned pale instantly, and he felt a fear of death in his heart. But the next moment, this fear was firmly suppressed by his firm determination.

He looked at Qiao Muyi standing in front of him, licked his lips gently, his face regained its rosy color, his mood completely calmed down, and he reached out to touch the pockets on both sides of his pants.
