Qi Xiaojin naturally had ways to track down the Sheepskin Demonâs location to pursue and kill it.
But the Sheepskin Demon didnât.
It... evolved!
Or rather, the Sheepskin Demon started adapting to the modern human world and had begun learning to achieve its goals using modern human methods.
Initially, it likely threatened the life of a driverâs family, forcing him to kill his loved ones.
That way, the Sheepskin Demon would leave no trace, with no clue for anyone to investigate.
One could only investigate through human means, tracing back to the origin.
By the time anyone got this far, the Sheepskin Demon would have already escaped.
Evidently, the Sheepskin Demon wasnât skilled at this operation yet, hence it left some flaws.
That driverâs daughter must have been the second human skin for the Sheepskin Demon.
It figured it out!
If it kept using this method, even for myself, it would be quite troublesome.
A fierce light flashed in Qi Xiaojinâs eyes.
Ding-dong.
The elevator arrived at the first floor.
But there were hardly any people at the entrance.
Her gaze quickly swept over, and she didnât spot the driverâs daughter.
"Has anyone gone out?"
"No."
No?
Where could it have run off to?
Her gaze sweeping around, Qi Xiaojin noticed that Elevator 1 was already positioned at the basement level.
The basement level?
A thought struck her.
Previously, it was at the third floor.
Could it be... the Sheepskin Demon ate someone on the third floor, changed skins, and went down to the basement?
Thinking this, Qi Xiaojin didnât hesitate and rushed towards the basement from the stairs.
"Miss Qi?!"
"Whatâs happening?!"
"Follow! Keep up!"
The black-clothed bodyguards quickly followed behind.
However, the moment they reached the basement, the roaring sound of a motorcycle echoed through the entire parking garage.
"Over there!"
Qi Xiaojin looked towards the direction of the sound.
It was just by the ramp leading to the exit from the underground garage!
It was trying to escape!
"Thatâs it! Block it!!!"
Qi Xiaojin shouted, but it was too late.
One bodyguard grabbed the walkie-talkie, immediately contacting the people at the entrance to intercept.
Others followed Qi Xiaojin in rushing outwards.
They ran through the underground parking garage towards the outside.
The motorcycleâs engine was already at the door.
It revved up, disregarding barriers and even smashing into people to break through.
"Stop it!!"
Qi Xiaojin shouted again to no avail.
Cars were parked at the entrance, blocking side by side, only able to stop cars, not motorcycles; the gaps left were too big.
In a swoosh, it dashed out.
Leaving a trail of black exhaust for those behind.
By the time Qi Xiaojin also reached the entrance, she yelled at those still stunned.
"Get in the car! Chase after it!"
Several cars started up, hurriedly pursuing.
But the motorcycleâs acceleration was too superior.
The cars had to turn around and adjust direction, moving out from a parallel configuration.
With all this delay, the person was long gone.
"..."
Qi Xiaojin chewed her finger, deep in thought.
"Did you get the license plate number?"
"We did."
"Check it."
"Yes!"
"Also, take all the surveillance footage from the past few days in this area, delete them, and leave no backup."
Money can solve many problems.
...
Bang!!
With a powerful leap, the man tossed the speeding motorcycle he was on into a filthy river.
With the river bubbling, the man landed steadily, his hands hitting the ground, nails unexpectedly long and as sharp as blades.
"Huff... huff... succeeded!"
He excitedly pulled out a piece of parchment.
[Iâm Luo Huo, originally just an ordinary renovation worker.]
[But by chance, I obtained this parchment.]
[And with it, I gained power!]
[Even though I encountered terrifying pursuit and nearly got caught, fortunately, I survived and escaped.]
[Itâs time to step forward for more powerful strength.]
[I plan to go to Jinsi Hospital.]
[There, thereâs someone I previously failed to kill.]
[Once I kill her, I can obtain the power from the feedback of the Parchment!]
Jinsi Hospital?
Luo Huo had set his target.
He got up and quickly left the place.
Once on the road, he directly reached out to hail a car.
Soon, a sedan stopped.
"Dude, whatâs up? Are you trying to rob me?"
The driver joked, but didnât expect Luo Huo to suddenly rush up, open the car door, and drag him out.
Amid the screams from the two passengers in the back seat, he already stepped on the gas pedal.
"My car! My car! And my girl!!"
The driver yelled, but his beloved car was already long gone.
Luo Huo focused on driving, yet he gradually smelled a fragrance coming from the back seat.
Whatâs this smell?
So fragrant! So fragrant!!
Sizzling!!!
Suddenly, a sharp braking, Luo Huo abruptly stopped.
Turning his head, he found the source of the fragrance was just two beautiful women hugging each other.
But soon, he couldnât resist the temptation and fiercely pounced on them.
Bang!!
Blood Mist burst out.
Immediately, a large bulge formed on the roof of the car, as if something large was squeezing inside.
"Tasty! Tasty! Is this the new human world you spoke of? Sheepskin Demon! You did well! You did very well!!"
âLuo Huoâ shouted excitedly, his mouth full of fresh blood.
On the Parchment, text began to emerge.
[I am Luo Huo, I am on my way to Jinsi Hospital...]
"Screw off! I am the Long-Armed Claw Demon! I do whatever I want!"
âLuo Huoâ licked the remaining blood on his lips, showing an excited expression.
"Where are more humans to eat? Tell me!"
âLuo Huoâ, shouting from inside the car, suddenly stopped his movements.
He looked at his body as if it was a strangerâs.
"Lord Sheepskin Demon, is this the new power? Itâs amazing! I, Luo Huo, will forever be loyal to Lord Sheepskin Demon!"
At this moment, it was as if he suddenly switched from a demonâs consciousness to a humanâs consciousness.
He was completely speaking with human thoughts, but his body remained that of a demon.
However, this scenario only lasted a few seconds before the Long-Armed Claw Demon suddenly lowered his head and crazily started devouring the corpses again.
"What just happened? Why did it seem like I fell asleep in the middle of eating?"
The Long-Armed Claw Demon touched his head, devoured the last bits of remains, and then the surface of his body wriggled, transforming into the appearance of the woman he had just eaten.
"Letâs go, to hunt for new food."
Putting on the Parchment, he smacked open the car door, and the door flew a few meters away.
This scene directly stunned a watermelon vendor by the roadside.
Such incredible strength!
Instinctively, the vendor picked up his phone to take a picture of the woman.
But in a flash, like a scene from a horror movie, the woman suddenly appeared right in front of him.
Before he could react, his head was already twisted 180 degrees.
"Try some fresh."
Opening her huge bloody mouth, ready to rip apart human skin again...
The womanâs actions suddenly paused.
She shook her head.
"Strange, how come I got out of the car? Jinsi Hospital! I must complete Lord Sheepskin Demonâs task!"
The corpse in her hand didnât bother her at all.
After all, the number of people she had killed was not small.
Debts do not oppress the bearer.
Back in the car, she stepped on the gas pedal and continued towards the direction of Jinsi Hospital.
And the Parchment that he kept well in his pocket started to show text again.
[Too unstable...]
[Human consciousness, demonâs body.]
[But the true essence, from the beginning to the end, from the inside out, is actually just a demon.]
[Just that after sneaking over, the memory got mixed up.]
[It now canât even distinguish who it is.]
[One moment thinking itâs still human, another moment feeling like it has sneaked over here and can freely act as it pleases.]
[Fortunately, itâs still under control for now, so it can still be of use.]
[It seems, only an exceptionally rare demon like me can easily sneak into this world without being affected by this world.]
[To bring other demons here completely and safely, more trials are needed.]
[Long-Armed Claw Demon, you serve as the experimental subject, provide me with sufficient data.]
The text gradually faded.
And ahead, Jinsi Hospital loomed tall and high.
Suddenly, the vehicle skidded, just when it was driving normally before, it suddenly felt as if someone else was operating it, not managing to drive straight anymore.
"What is this thing! Donât control me! I want to go... eat..."
"Damn! Almost fell asleep there! These past few days, executing the mission has been too exhausting. Fortunately, Iâm about to complete the second phase of Lord Sheepskin Demonâs task, which will make this body even stronger!!"
The skidding vehicle corrected its course, heading straight again.
