The demons were not united, but in situations that could jeopardize their own safety, they wouldn’t just stand idly by, either.
The little demons crowded toward Sun Guomao one after another.
Even the other three leaders looked at Sun Guomao.
Sun Guomao was a little panicked in his heart. But after all, he had been a superior for so many years, and his psychological defense was not so easy to break down. He answered coldly, “We only do the registration here. They can go in and out of the capital as long as they don’t commit crimes. How am I supposed to know where they have gone?”
“You’re saying that they left on their own?” The little demon moved another computer here. Ming Shu didn’t know how he had learned the entry password, but he tapped the keyboard skillfully to log in, then pointed at the marked dots on the map and said angrily, “These things should be portable locators, right? You’re monitoring them, but these with locators aren’t demons at all. We’ll see what they are if we get them here!”
After finishing the questioning, the little demon turned to Ming Shu. “King, am I right?”
Ming Shu gave him a thumbs up.
The little demon smiled shyly, becoming a totally different demon compared to the aggressive one just now.
“Deputy Director Sun, what’s going on here?” The chief looked at Sun Guomao. These little demons didn’t seem to be lying.
“I don’t know.” Sun Guomao said seriously, “Usually I’d only look at the map. I have much work to do, so I don’t have time to check them one by one. Since the map shows everything is fine, why would they disappear for no reason? Don’t just talk nonsense and try to make mischief.”
The chief also turned to the map. Each dot on the map represented one demon.
“Then let’s just go fetch them.” Ming Shu shook her legs while pointing at the chief . “You take these ones with you to catch them and see if they’re demons or humans, in case they say we replaced the demons later.”
Sun Guomao didn’t panic now, and he just watched the little demons take the chief away.
About half an hour later, the little demons came back with the chief and several other humans. These people were all ordinary humans, but the corresponding dots on the map moved to the headquarters location as they were all brought here.
No more words were needed to explain.
“Deputy Director Sun, what on earth is going on! Why are these locators in people?” The chief felt something was wrong. “What exactly have you done? Where are those demons?”
Sun Guomao sounded even more surprised than the chief. “What’s wrong, I don’t know……”
“You don’t know? You’re in charge of the matter, how could you not know?”
“Cut the crap, just tell the truth right now. Where have you taken those demons!” Big Bear stepped on the stool beside Sun Guomao, but it fell apart all of a sudden because of the weight. Big bear staggered and almost fell onto Sun Guomao.
The scene quieted for a moment, weirdly. Big Bear blushed and returned to the team slowly.
Ming Shu touched her forehead.
“The demons are gone, but what does it have to do with us.”
“Right, we’re only responsible for the registration and keeping them from causing trouble. We set every demon free after the registration.”
Some employees in the Evil Spirit Office began to protest.
They didn’t want to be blamed for such an empty accusation.
“Beat them, beat them fiercely until they tell everything.” Ming Shu waved her hand.
“Stop!” the chief shouted. “The demons are gone, but we’ll look into it…… Ah!”
Sun Guomao became the focus of many torturers in the beating process. Ming Shu would avoid the face while beating, but other little demons wouldn’t care about this. They just aimed at whichever part they could see.
“Tao Xian, you’re offending…… not only the Evil Spirit Office…… but—let go of me—but the superiors.”
“Do you think…… You can stand against the whole country with your demon power?” Sun Guomao was angered to roar aloud.
“That’ll be great,” Ming Shu responded casually.
Her task was to gain Hatred Points, but the title King of the Demons didn’t sound like one that could gain any Hatred Points, so the points must come from somewhere else.
Opposite of demons would be humans…… According to the Harmony System’s theory, the hidden task was to gain Hatred Points from a certain force, or a certain ethnic group.
So the people she needed to piss off were probably these people in the Evil Spirit Office? Or the country’s masses?
[Didn’t I explain to you, Guest?]
[Oh, I probably forgot. But you’re very smart, Guest. It’s true that you need to gain Hatred Points from the Evil Spirit Office’s employees, including but not limited to those who’re related to it.]
The Harmony System didn’t answer that.
[Come on, Guest!]
Ming Shu: “.……”
[Let me play a video of little goblins fighting each other for you, Guest, for the occasion.]
The blue film began to play in Ming Shu’s mind, without even a premiere.
Ming Shu took a deep breath.
[It’s both the fights.] The Harmony System was very cool.
Ming Shu: “.……”
The office door was suddenly kicked open, and the sunlight shone in. With the dust flying around, a tall shadow appeared slowly at the door.
The little demons stopped their movements and looked outside.
Hua Jian came in from outside with a calm expression, but actually he was almost exploding inside.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Why are you here?”
Hua Jian held back his anger and asked back calmly, “What are
doing here?”
Ming Shu shrugged. “Getting in touch and exchanging some deep feelings with them.”
The Evil Spirit Office’s employees who were forced to receive the communication: “.……”
Hua Jian was speechless. “Did you ask where the demons have gone?”
“Do you know about that?”
“Hua Jian, what are you doing?” Sun Guomao breathed heavily. “You’re with this Tao Xian, what do you want to do?”
Hua Jian continued, “Deputy Director Sun, in the basement on Taiying Road.”
Sun Guomao choked as if someone had strangled him, unable to say anything.
Taiying Road…… How did he know Taiying Road.
Hua Jian lifted his hand. With a sharp tinkle, something smashed to the ground before Sun Guomao.
It was the glass bottle Ming Shu gave to him before, but there was nothing inside it now.
Sun Guomao’s pupils shrank as cold sweat ran down his back all of a sudden, and he looked at Captain Sun beside him.
Captain Sun’s face turned extremely pale. He didn’t tell Sun Guomao that he lost a phoenix-spirit butterfly……
“What basement on the Taiying Road, what are you saying?” The chief was totally lost. “You’re Hua Jian, right? We met before. What’s the relationship between you and Tao Xian, and why are you here?”
