"That's right, definitely a demon. Every corner of the villa was covered in blood, but it was more like some kind of viscous fluid."
"Not viscous fluid, I mean it was like it, with a very strong smell of blood. There were teeth, bones, and hair everywhere."
"Of course I know that. Bones and hair aren't digested. No, it's the hair that isn't digested."
"When the two of us went in, it felt like we'd entered some kind of alternate dimension. Our consciousness became confused, and we didn't even realize our communication was cut off. To be precise, I didn't even think about coming out at the time. It was He Li who dragged me out... yes... it was like some kind of mental interference."
"It's very dangerous here now. You're talking about He Li, aren't you?
He Li... he sat on the ground, raised his hand towards the villa, and then... a large blood sphere floated out of the villa and drifted towards He Li. The blood sphere gradually shrank and was held in He Li's palm. He Li took out a claw knife and slashed at the blood sphere. The blood sphere deflated, turned to ash, and disappeared...
...Ungrateful wretch. Notify the captain. No need for you to come."
Bai Fei closed his watch dial, retracted the lens of his left eye, and slowly walked towards He Li, then squatted in front of him, staring blankly at He Li.
He Li looked at Bai Fei, paused for a moment, and asked, "Brother Fei, what was your major in university?"
"Mechanical Engineering. Uh... why are you asking this?" Bai Fei was stunned.
He Li shook his head and said, "It's like this, let me explain to you what happened just now.
As everyone knows, the direction of gravity is always vertically downwards. So why is that? Because the object exerting gravity is the Earth. Let's make a hypothesis, if the object exerting gravity changes from the Earth to me, then the potential energy and density of gravity will change drastically. If the hypothesis holds, then that means..."
"Stop!" Bai Fei scratched his head and said with a frown, "Say something I can understand."
"The demon was crushed to death by me using gravity," He Li replied immediately.
"Oh, I see." Bai Fei nodded, half-understanding.
At this moment,
Min Liang's voice came through the headset: "Don't stop! I minored in physics in university. I can understand. What exactly happened?"
He Li's expression of joy at fooling Bai Fei froze. He hesitated and said, "Ah Liang, do you know why our orphanage director is still healthy and has a good appetite at 92 years old?"
"Why?"
"Because he never pries into things too deeply."
"..."
He Li and Bai Fei walked back into the villa. The pungent smell of blood, the hair and bone fragments all over the floor, were still terrifying and disgusting,
but they were real.
He Li opened the 3D model and took a look. This time, there was a faint residual demonic energy. After taking photos of the situation in the villa, the two of them left.
It was already confirmed to be the work of a demon, but they didn't know what kind of demon.
In fact, He Li didn't know either. Just as Jin Fang said, they could only wait now. Wait for "them" to make another move, and they would follow the clues, track "them" down step by step, and then, kill them.
At the Spiritual Management Association building, everyone was sitting in the monitoring room, watching the footage of the villa on the big screen.
Susan asked, "Do you two think this is the stomach space of some kind of demon?"
Bai Fei said, "That's right. Judging by the scene, it didn't look like a murder scene. The blood hadn't congealed after more than ten hours. He Li fired a shot, but it didn't break the glass. The cuts on the wall were still bleeding profusely, and there were bone fragments and a lot of hair. Although the blood had a pungent smell, it was more like some kind of viscous fluid. Therefore, we deduced that it was the interior of some demon's body, or perhaps a digestive system capable of screen communication and mental interference."
Susan looked at the big screen, then at He Li, and asked, "Since it can interfere with the mind, why were you unaffected? Bai Fei was so disoriented he didn't know how to get out, but you were able to remain undisturbed."
He Li looked up at Susan, slowly took out an ID from his upper pocket. At the top was a serial number: 05468.
"Captain, because I'm very spirited."
There was no other way. He couldn't tell them that he was schizophrenic, and a split personality told him to leave, could he?
Everyone looked at the ID in He Li's hand and fell silent.
This explanation seemed to be the best one.
Susan looked at He Li deeply, did not continue to ask, but said to everyone, "We still need to investigate. A demon that can evade demonic energy detection is a great danger. I will personally be responsible for this matter. You don't need to worry about it."
He Li had no particular reaction, but everyone else looked at Susan in surprise.
Susan ignored their astonished gazes, stood up,
"Meeting adjourned!"
Susan left the monitoring room.
He Li looked at the shocked expressions of everyone and asked doubtfully, "The captain said she's personally responsible for this demon. Why are you all acting like this?"
Bai Fei sighed, "You don't understand. When the captain makes a move, we'll have to pay a lot of money."
He Li became even more confused, "What do you mean pay a lot of money?"
Tao Xue sighed and slumped onto the table, saying weakly, "He Li, do you know about the Binjiang Port explosion last year?"
He Li recalled and said, "It seemed to be some gasoline tank explosion, right? Binjiang Port was closed for four months."
"Yes, that's the official explanation," Bai Fei said to He Li. "The real situation is that the captain punched and killed a level three demon, destroying half of Binjiang Port in the process."
"What the hell?" He Li was dumbfounded. He knew how big Binjiang Port was. Destroying half of Binjiang Port with one punch, what kind of concept was that? One-Punch Man?
Had he transmigrated incorrectly?
Seeing He Li's surprised expression, Tao Xue raised her hand to rest her chin on it, her expression mournful, "The captain usually relies solely on her physical skills when she makes a move, just like you saw last time. A level five demon, the captain could choke it to death with one hand."
"If the captain uses her abilities to fight, our activity funds for the second half of the year might not be enough to cover the damages."
"What the hell?"
He Li's expression changed directly from surprise to horror.
He Li took a deep breath, his expression solemn, "Everyone, our current situation is very grim. We must shoulder some responsibility. We can't let the captain squander our money."
Sister Jiang looked up doubtfully, "Isn't it to maintain social property safety?"
He Li paused, then corrected himself, "Sister Jiang is right. We are mainly maintaining social property safety. The people of Binjiang have a hard time. Comrades, protecting Binjiang is our shared responsibility."
Damn it, I haven't even received any money yet, and it's all gone?
Impossible!
