He is just an intermediary, not a senior demon hunter. What's the point of getting involved in this mess?
"There's another strange thing!" Lan Ziye seemed not to have heard Wu Xuzi's wailing. He rubbed his chin and continued, "If the demon killed the villagers here for food, then why didn't it go to the town to kill people? After all, so many years have passed. It should have digested everything it needed to digest!
Wu Xuzi's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice, "Twelve Young Master, are you saying that the demon is still hungry, and if we go in, we'll just be giving away our lives and food?"
"Don't you think this is challenging?" Lan Ziye turned to look at Wu Xuzi and smiled maliciously.
What challenge? He doesn't like challenges.
"Well... you're all big guys, and I'm just a powerless little agent. I beg you two to let me go, okay?" Wu Xuzi was genuinely terrified. He clasped his hands together and begged, "You go in, and I'll wait in the car, okay?"
"I think you will be safer if you stay with us!" Chu Xixuan said seriously.
"Yes, monsters have legs. Maybe they have not only legs but also wings! If we beat them and force them to escape from the village... then wouldn't you become an energy supply?" Lan Ziye said with an exaggerated expression.
"I'll drive to the town to wait for you. When you're ready, call me and I'll come pick you up, okay?" Wu Xuzi was about to cry even more, and he said with a sad face.
"Wu Xuzi, your IQ isn't up to par today!" Lan Ziye sighed and shook his head. "Didn't you hear what I just said?" At this point, Lan Ziye's eyes suddenly turned cold. "There might be something wrong with this whole town!"
Wu Xuzi was confused. Was there something wrong with this town? He thought the mayor was normal.
"Okay, let's go in first!" Chu Xixuan took the lead and walked into the village.
Lan Ziye shrugged at Wu Xuzi and followed him in.
Wu Xuzi completely collapsed. With a bitter face, he wailed, "Twelve Young Master, why did you bring me here? What good would it do you if I died? If I die, will anyone still be able to introduce you to good missions in the future?"
"Since Mr. Chu is willing to be the driver, you really don't need to come!" Lan Ziye said casually as he walked.
Chu Xixuan:......
Wu Xuzi: ...Why didn’t you say so earlier?
The three of them walked around the village. There was really nothing in the village except for rows of dusty houses that were deserted and had no trace of people.
"The air here is so pure, so pure that it's a little weird!" Lan Ziye said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Wu Xuzi was now on high alert. When he heard Lan Ziye speak, he looked around nervously as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and asked nervously.
"These people were killed by something overnight. Even if their souls don't wander here after they die, they should have left some resentment! But now there is neither the smell of soul nor resentment here. On the contrary, because there is no life here, not even the most basic human or animal smell, the air is much purer than anywhere else outside!" Lan Ziye explained lightly.
"Is this true?" Wu Xuzi looked at Lan Ziye with a half-doubt. This was too far-fetched, wasn't it?
"You mean that the monster not only eats people, but also eats their souls?" Chu Xixuan frowned and pondered.
"Yes, most monsters either eat souls or humans. As for this monster that eats both humans and souls, I really don't know what it is!" Lan Ziye curled his lips and said with a puzzled look.
