Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 407: Chapter 208 Unwelcome Visitor_2

”Perhaps as you said, it could just be that he murdered someone and then defected. I just feel that there’s something very strange about this, it makes me feel a bit uneasy.”

Fang Yu shrugged his shoulders.

”Then let’s look into his whereabouts. You go and give the orders, have our demonic minions search for Hu Shusheng’s location. You should know what kind of demon he truly is, regardless of whether he’s currently in his demon form or in human disguise, find him, I need him to give me an explanation.”

Che Linfang looked startled.

”You mean...”

Fang Yu spoke indifferently, ”Without rules, there can be no circle. He acted rashly, he has to provide a reason.”

Che Linfang slightly lowered her gaze, lost in thought.

”Understood.”

”Hmm, you can mobilize the strength of both the Foolish Underworld and the demons, find his location as soon as possible.”

”Yes.”

Fang Yu noticed her expression was subtly complex, so he patted her on the shoulder.

”Che Linfang, although I have become one of the Demon Tails, I’m still isolated and weak. Without Green Demon covering for me, I, a mere little demon, can only rely on bravery and ferocity to keep control of the situation. Otherwise, so many powerful demons underneath are just waiting for a good show, and with the other Demon Tails coveting my position, how long can I sit here securely and peacefully?”

”You and I both climbed up from the bottom, you know my background, you know my situation. Tang Shan and Hu Shusheng consecutively betrayed, Green Demon fell, and the only person I can trust by my side is you now.”

”You help me, and I’ll help you in return. As long as I’m here, you’ll be here too. We can only get through this by supporting each other, do you understand?”

Fang Yu played to the strength of his CPU, successfully stabilizing Che Linfang’s emotions.

”I know.”

Yes, having already infiltrated the dangerous place of the Foolish Underworld, constantly thinking about those irrelevant things is meaningless.

Finding a way to survive, protecting the secret of one’s identity in a dangerous operation, gathering intelligence, and scraping by alongside Diao Deyi are what’s most important.

As for Hu Shusheng, who’s lost his qualification to infiltrate, it’s a pity.

”As long as you understand.” Fang Yu withdrew his hand, ”I’ll leave this matter to you, report back to me with any updates.”

Seeing Che Linfang nod, Fang Yu reopened the door and took her downstairs.

By that time, the clearing outside was finished, and the team members were all waiting below.

They reported briefly, but didn’t have any useful information.

Fang Yu decisively left Che Linfang there and snuck away himself.

He’d mixed in and acquired a secret manual from Zhuo Xueer, intending to practice it when he got back.

The sooner he practiced it, the sooner he could learn it using attribute points and test its effects.

He also needed to master Demonization even further.

After his battle with Quan Heng, his sense of personal strength deficiency grew deeper.

And there he was talking about climbing up with Green Demon; he couldn’t even defeat a mere Admirer of the Thousand Blood, let alone others.

On the way back, he casually bought a Monkey King mask, looking for an opportunity to wear it and stealthily entered a pawn shop.

Soon after, he came back out.

While his wallet shrank, his bank account received a deposit of more than a hundred thousand dollars.

...

Che Linfang was rather skilled at investigating cases.

After all, having infiltrated the Foolish Underworld for so many years, she’d already learned all the necessary methods.

Yet the case of Little Tonic Tavern had scarce clues to go on.

Assumptions pointed virtually towards demons, leaving no room for discovering anything significant.

Although she went out briefly to visit Lingyun Inn,

She did not find Hu Shusheng there.

”Where could he be hiding? Where could he go?”

Che Linfang was puzzled.

She instructed the demons below to investigate.

The methods of the demons were far more reliable compared to those of the Foolish Underworld.

Moreover, reckless as they were, these peripheral demons did not suffer from the constraint of not being able to easily change their human disguises, thus their actions could be more aggressive.

Furthermore, the area was basically under control of Che Linfang and the troops of the Foolish Underworld, so when some suspicious individuals were spotted, she had the demons investigate.

Sure enough, news came quickly.

”A young man, clad in black?”

Che Linfang was taken aback.

According to the information, someone had heard screams from the tavern last night, and when the noise had settled, only a young man dressed in black was seen leaving the tavern.

Then it was the next day that the Foolish Underworld investigated the case.

”I really can’t understand, if that human had information about Little Tonic Tavern, why didn’t he report directly to the Foolish Underworld?”

The demon who brought the message, licked the remnant blood at the corner of his mouth.

”Human beings are not a monolith; they like to suspect and guard against each other. If that person were to inform the Foolish Underworld, it would inevitably bring a series of troubles to himself. Therefore, without sufficient interest, many people would rather say nothing at all than take risks.”

Having been mixed in the Foolish Underworld for so many years, Che Linfang had seen more and understood more than these peripheral demons.

”Also, among ordinary humans, the Foolish Underworld, which contends with us, is actually not very popular.”

This was determined by the nature of the Foolish Underworld’s work.

Their erroneous killings of humans in search of demons at times, and even indiscriminate killings, led to public outrage.

Therefore, the relationship between the Foolish Underworld and the general populace was quite strained.

”Don’t understand.”

The demon shrugged his shoulders, seemingly indifferent to these matters; to him, as long as there was someone to eat, all was well.

”You just ate a human and transformed into their skin. Keep a low profile for a while, Sound-Silencing Demon.”

”Fine, I’m full anyway, I’ll stay at the inn then.”

Che Linfang looked at the demon before her with gray eyes, wearing the skin of a young girl, and frowned slightly.

This fellow, despite not being very powerful, was much more aggressive than the other demons.

If it were not for Diao De’s specific nomination, she wouldn’t really want to rely on someone with this kind of temperament.
