"La la la, la la la, I'm the newspaper seller..."
A small figure, carrying a bamboo basket, walked down the street at night, singing a clear song.
A tentacled monster with an eye marking on its head stretched out a palm with sharp claws and crawled out of an alley, trying to get into a house to abduct someone.
But it suddenly saw the small figure, trembled violently, and retracted.
However, the little monster did not let it go but chased after it, as if a child was playing.
After chasing for some distance, the tentacled monster ran to a square.
The little monster bared its mouth, revealing sharp teeth. It disliked killing, believing that all living beings had a reason to exist, even foul-smelling creatures like demons.
So it only guided others to kill demons, never acting itself.
But this kind of tentacled monster was an exception. They were not natural life forms but killing machines that had been cultivated. Their existence was a blasphemy against nature.
Therefore, the little monster wanted to get rid of it when it saw it.
It had already eliminated dozens of such monsters in recent days, but this time the little monster hesitated.
It instinctively felt danger, and its body quickly blurred, disappearing into the air…
"Tch, bad luck, this little thing is quite cunning."
A man in a pink robe jumped to the center of the square and cursed.
This man's head was two or three times larger than a normal person's and was not covered by a skull or scalp, exposed to the air, looking like a pink cauliflower.
"Darling, you let that little wagtail ghost escape?"
A woman, scantily clad, with a single horn on her head and semi-transparent wings on her back, suddenly appeared beside the cauliflower man, holding his arm and shaking it.
"This little wagtail ghost is too cunning. If it had taken one more step, it would have fallen into my trap, but it actually sensed it."
Little wagtail ghost was the name of that little monster.
These elf-like creatures were semi-corporeal, not strong in direct combat, but possessed various magical abilities and were very difficult to deal with.
Since the Eye of the Abyss arrived in Sihu City, this little wagtail ghost had been disrupting them, causing many plans to fail.
After the little wagtail ghost was dealt with in a special way, it could be made into a potion for purifying souls and energy.
These creatures were not numerous even in the inner world, and they were extremely difficult to capture, thus having great value to demons.
That was why the cauliflower man wanted to capture the little wagtail ghost and offer it as a tribute after the Pure White Lord descended, but all his preparations were in vain.
The cauliflower man's face showed a determined expression: "Don't be discouraged. I will catch it one day. I'll go back and continue my research. For you, I can definitely improve the mosquito's genes, fill the void of no mosquitoes in winter in this world, and let the mosquito tribe flourish here."
Hearts seemed to appear in the mosquito woman's eyes, and she excitedly pecked the cauliflower man, looking at the ugly face with adoration: "Darling, you are the best to me."
"Because I love you."
After the two were affectionate for a while, the mosquito woman left.
The cauliflower man looked at her retreating back, a strange smile on his face, and complained to a nearby demon.
"This brainless, idiotic woman actually believes I'm doing research for her. If it weren't for her leadership ability over the mosquitoes, she would have been on my experiment table long ago."
This cauliflower man was also a councilor of the Eye of the Abyss, a Great Demon of the True Order realm, named Brookly.
He had a grand plan to subvert humanity, which was to use mosquitoes to exterminate humans!
Even unmodified mosquitoes, with the diseases they spread annually, could wipe out at least a million federal citizens, far more than the number of people killed by humans fighting each other!
Moreover, mosquitoes were distributed all over the world, and basically everyone had been bitten by mosquitoes. Even if humans used all sorts of methods, it was difficult to avoid being bitten.
Therefore, Brookly's method of exterminating humans was to find a way to cultivate mosquitoes that could survive in all environments and were naturally extremely fatal to humans.
He had already made mosquitoes carry a fatal virus to humans, but these mosquitoes themselves were still very fragile and difficult to survive in natural conditions. Therefore, what Brookly was researching now was to enable mosquitoes to survive in harsh conditions.
Filling the void of no mosquitoes in the federal winter was not just an empty statement.
…
The little wagtail ghost escaped to a deserted alley and crouched against the wall, panting heavily, sweat dripping from its forehead.
If it hadn't been for its instincts warning it that danger lay ahead, it might have died there.
Annoyed, it scratched its skin, actually pulling off its entire skin!
Beneath the skin, there was no horrifying sight, but rather a miniature, exquisitely carved, beautiful maiden.
Her body proportions were the same as a human girl of seventeen or eighteen, wearing a brown-yellow leather vest and a leather skirt. Her hands, feet, and hair were adorned with beautiful feathers, and on her back were a pair of Q-version grey and white wings.
The maiden was not some kind of angelic異種, but a "bird-person" resembling a nature spirit.
This appearance was the true form of the little wagtail ghost. The previous monster form was just a skin suit worn for fun.
Similar skin suits included the little iron-eating beast, the little imp, and even the little human girl skin suit.
Wagtail was the name of a bird, and the entire tribe of little wagtail ghosts were beautiful miniature maidens. They liked to play pranks but were mostly kind, although their way of thinking was different from normal creatures.
She liked most humans but disliked greedy, evil, and nature-destroying individuals among them.
And she hated all demons, so she would not stand by and watch demons slaughter humans, which was why she had been guiding demon hunters to deal with demons.
The near-death experience made her realize that she could not deal with those demons alone, and ordinary people could not help her either.
Her best recourse now was the super-powered individual who had been chasing her!
…
After the He Liu Xiaozhu was destroyed, Wen Wen's only breakthrough was the Kewei Group.
Therefore, he planned to take Tao Qingqing to visit the Kewei Group personally.
Without destroying the Kewei Group, he would obtain evidence of their connection with demons, and then cooperate with the Hunter Association to prevent the entire Kewei Group from collapsing after dealing with Zhang Kewei and others.
Throughout the operation, the impact on ordinary employees should be minimized, as most of them were unaware, and they should not be involved unless absolutely necessary.
