The night was deep, Su Nuo and Hu Yanbing squatted on the balcony, accompanied by flowers and plants, blowing in the cold wind, their eyes meeting, the scene somewhat desolate.
In the room, Lin Huan lay comfortably on the sofa, his legs crossed, drinking ice beer, occasionally making a toast gesture towards the window, making the two outside gnash their teeth in hatred.
However, they could do nothing, as Lin Huan was skilled in illusions and could easily hide in the room.
But in reality, Lin Huan was not much more comfortable than the two outside. Miao Xuan cried day and night, losing her appetite and sleep.
While comfortable in the room, her mood grew increasingly heavy.
The romantic scenes she had imagined before coming here occasionally flickered in her mind, but with this mood, coupled with the two guys outside constantly staring, he had no interest in peeking.
They had been staking out here for two days. In these two days, there had been two more disappearances outside, making all three of them doubt whether Lin Huan's intuition was useful.
The three had agreed that if they found nothing tonight, they would change their approach.
There was still no news from the demon hunters who came to investigate the demons, so Lin Huan and the others were still completely in the dark about the situation in Sihuhu City.
Miao Xuan prepared a bath towel and walked into the bathroom. She patted her face in the mirror. After these few days, her eyes were red and swollen, and her complexion had become much duller.
She also wanted to pull herself together, but once she fell asleep at night, sadness would surge uncontrollably.
Lin Huan sat up from the sofa, his eyes brightening.
It wasn't because Miao Xuan was about to bathe, but because he sensed a scope of unusual activity. He made a gesture towards the window, and the two outside immediately concealed their presence and hid themselves.
Just as Miao Xuan was about to undress, she suddenly felt a piercing cold. She tightened her clothes. A layer of moisture had condensed on the mirror at some point. She exhaled, revealing obvious white mist, which only appeared when the temperature was very low.
The moisture on the mirror began to change, as if someone was writing on it with their finger.
The two characters were... Darling.
Only her boyfriend would call her that, and a blurry shadow seemed to appear behind her in the mirror. The shadow resembled her ex-boyfriend.
Miao Xuan covered her mouth, tears gushing out. She wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a sharp pain and then fainted.
It was Lin Huan who acted. He used illusions to maintain Miao Xuan's appearance, and then secretly knocked her out.
The current situation basically confirmed that someone was targeting Miao Xuan, so they couldn't let Miao Xuan take risks. That's why they prepared to use an illusion instead.
The soul writing on the mirror with water vapor did not realize that the person in front of it had been replaced. Its figure gradually solidified and wrote some details that only it and Miao Xuan knew.
Unlike ghosts with immense power, souls are very fragile, and even those with superpowers can hardly see them without special methods.
So, for Miao Xuan's boyfriend to communicate with Miao Xuan, this was the only way.
Lin Huan controlled the phantom, making it look like it was about to cry itself to death, and then raised its vigilance to the highest level.
This soul alone could not abduct Miao Xuan, nor could it cause destruction like what happened at Xu Hongjiao's home. Therefore, something else must emerge.
After the soul's figure completely solidified, a terrifying red figure quickly rushed towards the phantom, extending its terrifying tongue, preparing to wrap around the phantom's head.
Its favorite thing was to appear suddenly and watch the terrified expressions of those fragile humans.
But this time, it did not hear a scream. The woman in front of it suddenly turned into a pile of rotten flesh, with strange eyes floating in the rotten flesh. Wriggling flesh buds crawled along its tongue, reaching onto its body, and trying to burrow inside!
This mass of something exuded an unsettling aura, and it roared in terror, retreating more than ten steps to the window.
At this moment, Lin Huan and the two hiding outside could clearly see the monster's appearance.
The thing in front of them was a disgusting monster with red skin on its limbs and head, and no skin on its torso. There was an eye mark on the monster's forehead.
Its jaw split into two fissures that extended all the way to its navel. The entire crack was filled with sharp teeth and twisted tentacles!
Frankly speaking, this thing was more terrifying than what Lin Huan had conjured.
After being startled, the monster realized that it was just an illusion and was about to launch an indiscriminate attack on the room. A hand pierced through the window, grabbed its neck, and threw it downstairs.
But the monster promptly used its tentacles to wrap around the balcony railing, trying to bounce back.
However, before it could succeed, it saw a man extend a hand to it. The hand quickly transformed into a mechanical substance, with a dark opening in the palm. A laser beam shot out from the opening, directly knocking the monster downstairs.
After landing, the monster had already lost more than half of its tentacles. It could be blocked by Lin Huan's protective charm, so it was not a powerful disaster-level monster. A direct hit from Su Nuo's blast left it severely injured.
It got up and tried to escape, only to see Hu Yanbing jump down from upstairs and kick its neck, sending it flying and bending a street lamp.
After these two blows, the monster was on its last legs. Lin Huan and the other two came down from upstairs and surrounded the monster. After a few consecutive moves, the monster became near death.
Lin Huan looked pleased. Although he could only fight evenly with the three losers in the containment facility, he was still capable of fighting independently outside.
"These guys have big ambitions, and its strength is too weak, so it might just be a pawn used for catching people. Perhaps there are accomplices, we cannot be careless."
Su Nuo's right hand remained in combat state, ready to unleash an energy cannon at any time.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbing took out the black chains that every containment officer possessed. The chains flew out automatically and bound the monster.
If they wanted to interrogate, they would do so in the containment facility. It was safer to capture it first.
However, halfway through the capture, an ink-green energy arrow flew from above, directly piercing the monster's head!
Lin Huan and the other two looked up and saw a woman in a black night suit standing on Miao Xuan's floor. The woman, carrying Miao Xuan on her shoulder, glanced at the three and then jumped away.
"Leave her!"
Hu Yanbing shouted, chasing after her like a fierce tiger released from its cage.
Lin Huan and the other two followed behind but were quickly left behind. Although the two of them had their own abilities, in terms of physical quality, they were far inferior to Hu Yanbing, who could improve his strength by relying on his imposing manner.
After chasing for a distance in the direction they left, the two saw a figure flying back like a tattered sack – it was Hu Yanbing, who had just chased them.
Hu Yanbing had a bloody wound on his abdomen, clearly having been hit by the arrow.
Moreover, his lips had turned ink-green. The arrow was poisonous!
