Nia City, Champagne Avenue, No. 233.
Two figures dart quickly between the streets, shielded by the night.
“Garan Ovis! A craftsman, our target for this time!”
Lowering his voice, Rod quickly explained the mission to Su Lu: “Thirty-two years old, has a wife named Alicia who died from illness, they have no children… According to his neighbors, after the death of his beloved wife, Mr. Ovis’s behaviors have become rather strange. He often makes terrifying noises at night, talks to the air, and fiddles with bizarre things in his home. Despite many complaints, he has not rectified his behavior…”
“After investigation by the Goddess Church, it has been confirmed that this man is conducting rituals to worship demons, hoping to resurrect his wife!”
“But in reality… this is practically impossible. Demons delight in toying with human hearts rather than making dreams come true!”
Su Lu pressed his lips tightly together, not saying a word.
He understood what Rod meant.
Demons can be regarded as powerful evil gods, or even more chaotic and evil entities beyond the evil gods.
If one prays to them and gets a response, it often leads to more terrifying and sad consequences.
Such as… resurrecting a highly decomposed corpse, or the soul of one’s wife returning as an evil spirit!
Or perhaps… temporarily opening a door to an unknown dimension, and countless monsters rush out!
“According to the mission requirements of the church, if the other party is confirmed to be a follower of the Abyss Demon, eliminate them on the spot!” Rod stopped in front of a two-story building, loading bullets into his silver revolver.
This is the style of the Goddess Church, straightforward, simple, and violent.
“I mean…”
Looking at the brightly lit building, Su Lu hesitated and asked: “Why? Why doesn’t the church notify the police? Or act on their own?”
“The police? Do you think ordinary people can handle this situation? Oh! Maybe they can, but what about the casualties and compensation resulting from it?”
Rod laughed in a low voice: “As for the church… its power needs to radiate throughout the Federation, there might not be enough time and energy… Therefore, outsourcing the task to other demon hunters, like me, is a very suitable approach! We demon hunters, have our ways in dealing with demons, always minimizing unexpected situations!”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of identification: “We’ll knock on the door directly later! ”
“Federal Tax Bureau?” Su Lu opened the dark leather cover embossed with the Federation’s emblem and saw his own portrait photo, which startled him.
“Fake…”
Rod casually pulled back his jacket to reveal a collection of gold-stamped ID covers.
“Forgery of credentials is a severe crime in the Federation… you’ll be sentenced if caught…” Su Lu’s face twitched.
“Nothing will happen as long as we don’t get caught!”
Rod casually fixed his hair in front of a window, then led Su Lu to the front of house No. 233, knocking on the door.
Knock, knock!
After a moment, footsteps sounded from behind the door.
The door cracked open a slit, a pair of eyes appeared from behind: “Who are you looking for?”
The eyes were bloodshot, set in deeply sunken eye sockets, and the voice owner’s hair was so wild, it could be mistaken for a chicken’s nest.
From the looks of it, I would believe it if someone told me he was in his forties or fifties.
Su Lu stood behind Rod, watching him show off his credentials, intimidating Garan: “I’m from the Federal Tax Bureau, and I need your assistance for an investigation?”
“Taxes? But I pay my taxes legally every month!”
Garan was a bit surprised, but he still opened the door.
There’s a saying in the Federation: ‘Nothing can be avoided except death and taxes,’ every citizen of the Federation has had to deal with taxes at some point.
Being at the top of all institutions, the Federal Tax Bureau holds so much power, it even has its own army!
Some villains, perhaps untouchable by the court and the police, would definitely fall if they cross the tax authorities!
“Gentlemen, please!”
Under the intimidation of the Federal Tax Bureau, the three of them entered the living room together.
Su Lu glanced around: ‘The condition seems fine, looks like he just had dinner?
Huh?’
His eyes narrowed, seeing that on the dining table, there were actually three sets of cutlery!
“You have guests?”
Rod, of course, also noticed the anomaly, asking suspiciously, his hand already slipping into his coat. freewebnov el.com
“No… there are no strangers, only my wife and my adorable daughter!”
Su Lu and Rod glanced at each other, feeling slightly creeped out.
‘Is this what a person contaminated by a demon looks like?’
As Su Lu watched Garan acting like any ordinary person, boasting to Rod about his beautiful wife and lovely daughter, a sudden chill rose from behind.
In his past life, wouldn’t this be considered delusional?
“Can I meet your wife and daughter?”
Rod suddenly interrupted Garan’s accounts, bluntly stating his request.
“Okay…okay, of course, there’s no problem!”
Garan was startled for a moment, but that was it. He immediately agreed and led Rod and Su Lu upstairs.
‘How could a normal person let two Federation agents meet their wife and daughter late at night? But Garan is a madman, so he can’t be reasoned with!’
Su Lu tightened his grip on the long bag behind him, which contained the shotgun Rod had given him. It was fully loaded and safety was on.
According to Rod, he had loaded it with high-quality ‘Demon Breaking Bullets’ which were highly effective against demons.
“Here… my daughter Lis’s room!”
Garan came to a door in the hallway, gently gripping the handle: “She is a bit shy!”.
Clang!
The door opened to show pink decorations inside. In the middle stood a large baby cradle surrounded by curtains, so one couldn’t see the baby inside clearly.
Garan approached, humming a sweet melody and picked up the small creature in baby clothes from the cradle: “Look… how cute she is!”
With a soft thud, the baby’s hat fell to the ground, revealing the true face of the baby girl!
She had elongated cheeks, sparse hair on her shiny bald head. Her bat-like ears fluttered as her crimson eyes rolled around as though she had spotted an enemy.
Gazing at Su Lu and Rod, she suddenly let out a shriek, showing her mouth full of sharp teeth.
“Little Demon Monster!”
Rod bellowed, drawing his revolver and firing rapidly.
Bang bang!
The Little Demon Monster leapt up from Garan’s arms, agilely climbing up the wall like a monkey. Her movements left a circle of bullet holes in the wall. f(r)eenovelkiss
Bang!
Suddenly, she let out a strange cry and escaped out of the side door.
“Don’t run!”
Rod roared in rage and chased after her.
“You…”
Su Lu watched his silhouette, retracting his hand weakly.
After spending half a month with him, he had come to understand Rod’s temperament. He was the kind of guy who preferred to confront things head-on.
In his world, when encountering demons or beasts, he would directly confront them. Relying on his family tradition and the physical abilities of a [Demon Hunter], in many situations, he powered through them successfully.
If his approach failed, it meant death!
