Chapter 157: Audacious Demon!

In the dormitory area, Liu Ying stood at the door, waiting.

"Why haven't they returned yet?" he sighed, touching his head. The few hairs he once had were all plucked out by those doctors. Who could understand the pain in his heart?

Fortunately, his girlfriend comforted him with warm lips, saying, "Don't be sad, take it slow."

Unconsciously, his girlfriend's actions instilled a strong belief in him. Yes, take it slow, and there will eventually be results.

Footsteps approached.

Looking back, Liu Ying went to meet them. "Lin Fan, Master Zhang, you're back!"

He had been waiting for a while and thought they weren't home. He had even told his girlfriend he wouldn't be back tonight and was considering inviting a few close friends to go "poverty alleviation" - to contribute a little to society's economy.

Then he saw a familiar senior and exclaimed in surprise, "Master Yongxin, you're here too!"

He truly hadn't expected Master Yongxin to be with them.

He firmly believed that it must be because Lin Fan and Master Zhang were so outstanding. Outstanding people, no matter where they are, radiate a dazzling brilliance. It's impossible to hide.

"Mm." Master Yongxin's thoughts were complex. Why was he here?

"What are you doing here?" Master Yongxin asked. His tone wasn't as gentle as when he was fawning over Lin Fan, but rather serious. After all, he was a top expert in the special department. Simply put, he had to maintain his image.

Liu Ying replied, "I receive treatment from Master Zhang every night. His acupuncture skills are very strong, the best I've ever seen. If it weren't for the accident, I should have five shiny black hairs on my head now."

He didn't hide anything, speaking the truth.

Master Yongxin hadn't expected that someone had already discovered their extraordinariness. And from the looks of it, they had already developed a deep friendship. Thinking of this, his expression softened considerably.

Liu Ying had met them first. If Liu Ying intentionally spoke ill of him in front of them, it wouldn't be a good situation. He had to maintain a good relationship, and it would be best if Liu Ying could put in a good word for him.

Master Yongxin patted Liu Ying's shoulder and said, "Is that so? I remember you graduated from the Maoshan High Academy. I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you, Master Yongxin, for your praise." Liu Ying was in a good mood. He knew Master Yongxin rarely praised others. It was clear that his own excellence had left a deep impression on Master Yongxin. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.

He must continue to work hard and make himself even more outstanding.

Master Yongxin thought that he still understood too little. This Old Zhang had such amazing acupuncture skills, yet he knew nothing about it. That could only mean their relationship hadn't reached a certain level yet.

He needed to work harder.

"So you two know each other," Lin Fan said. It made sense. Liu Ying was a good person. He even brought gifts when he came to see them. He was definitely a good person. Yongxin was exceptionally polite when he came to see them and even helped others with him. He was also a good person. So, good people would know other good people. This was an unchanging principle.

Yes, that's right. It was just like that.

Night fell.

Outside, it wasn't entirely quiet. Hardworking workers were still diligently restoring the city's appearance.

Old Zhang held silver needles, applying acupuncture to Liu Ying.

Lin Fan stared at the ceiling, where a small moth flitted back and forth. He slowly shifted his gaze, following the moth's movements. It was quite interesting.

April 3rd! Morning!

Lin Daoming ran into Master Yongxin in the cafeteria. He carried his breakfast and sat down beside him. "Where did you go last night? There was a dinner party, and I called you, but you didn't answer."

"I was too tired and fell asleep," Master Yongxin said calmly.

He wouldn't let others know what he was doing now.

The fewer people who knew, the better. If they knew the truth, they would definitely laugh at him. And it was hard to say whether they would proactively fawn over Lin Fan like him. If that happened, the pressure would be immense.

"Really?" Lin Daoming gave him a look that said, I'll only believe you if I'm a fool. Then he whispered, "Tell the truth. Although you're an expert from the Buddhist High Academy, regardless of age, there are always certain needs. I understand you, but you can't let others know your identity, otherwise, it will have a huge impact."

In the past, Master Yongxin would have definitely lashed out at Lin Daoming without a second thought.

But now, Master Yongxin packed up his dishes and left directly.

"Something's wrong, definitely something's wrong." Lin Daoming watched his retreating figure, lost in thought. What was he hiding?

Given the current situation, based on his thinking, it was definitely not a simple matter.

In the dormitory, Lin Fan and Old Zhang squatted before the demonic rooster, their eyes wide with surprise.

"The third one."

"What's wrong with it today?"

Two eggs every morning could replenish their strength, but they hadn't expected the hen to lay a third.

The demonic rooster was under a lot of pressure. The two foolish humans squatting in front of it made it feel immense pressure. There was no other way but to continue. It had promised four, so four it would be. In the past, two were to deceive the enemy, but now, the two extra ones were a demonstration of its abilities, born out of a deep awareness of danger.

The last egg rolled onto the ground.

Lin Fan and Old Zhang looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with delight.

"You're amazing," Lin Fan praised, stroking the hen's head.

"Amazing," Old Zhang echoed.

The demonic rooster squatted obediently on the ground, allowing the two foolish humans to pet its head. Damn these guys! If it weren't for the great demonic cause, did they think they could touch the head of a demonic hero?

It looked out the window.

Its chicken eyes were imprinted with the azure sky. It seemed to see the future, itself wearing a hero's crown, a group of demons shouting:

"Long live the heroic demonic rooster!"

"Heroic demonic rooster, I want to bear your children!"

Under the spotlight, I, the demonic rooster, will become a legendary demon.

Not long after its fantasy, the rope around its neck tightened, pulling it outside. It knew that as an undercover pet, it had to accompany the two foolish humans on their wanderings again.

It only hoped that its kind would send a reliable expert.

Not like that demonic cockroach before, who was a complete idiot.

And it would do its best undercover, striving to obtain information that could deal a fatal blow to the human world.

At the gate of the special department, Lin Fan and Old Zhang stood waiting for Master Yongxin. They had agreed to patrol together again yesterday, going into the city to help those in need.

They waited for a long time, but he still didn't appear.

"Should we keep waiting?" Lin Fan asked.

Old Zhang said, "Let's wait a little longer."

They nodded in agreement, continuing to wait at the gate.

Master Yongxin hid in the bushes, seeing their figures. He scratched his head, feeling anxious. Hadn't he told them to wait outside? They couldn't stand at the main gate.

If those others saw them, they would immediately understand his intentions.

He had no choice but to continue hiding there and wait.

At this moment, One-Eyed Man and the others came out. Heng Jianqiu and the others chatted casually with One-Eyed Man, not about business, but about trivial matters, occasionally laughing.

Heng Jianqiu was thinking of returning to headquarters to report the situation. Yanhai City had successfully defended against the demonic attack, especially the killing of the demonic cockroach. This felt strange. It wasn't that he didn't believe One-Eyed Man.

But the demonic cockroach's strength was terrifying to the extreme.

To be honest, the five of them could potentially hold their own against the demonic cockroach, but killing it was a bit of a stretch, or perhaps impossible.

One-Eyed Man saw the two people blocking the gate and was slightly surprised. What were they doing at the gate?

They seemed to be waiting for someone.

Jin Heli adjusted her glasses, the lenses reflecting light, also noticing the two mentally ill patients at the gate.

Suddenly, a furious shout rang out.

"Audacious demon! How dare you appear here! You're courting death!"

Heng Jianqiu had long sensed something amiss in the surrounding aura. Having dealt with demons for many years, he was sensitive to their presence. After searching around, his gaze landed on the demonic rooster at the gate.

The demonic rooster stood there, suddenly feeling a chill in its backside.

It felt like it was being watched.

Terrifying!

Who was watching it?

The demonic rooster clenched its backside and looked back, only to find a human expert rushing towards it, his ferocious appearance startling the demonic rooster into a daze.

It wasn't that it didn't want to resist.

But it was too scared to move.

"Is my path to becoming a demonic hero about to end here?"

Just as it despaired, a pair of sacred hands, like the opening gates of heaven, embraced it in warmth.

"Hen, why are you trembling so much?"

Lin Fan held the hen in his arms, gently stroking its feathers. It had been fine just a moment ago, and now it was like this. He was a little worried. The hen was so good to them, usually giving them two eggs, and from today onwards, it would give them four. It must be worried they weren't eating enough.

Heng Jianqiu quickly withdrew his hand, surprised that a human would hold a demon in their arms.

Was the demon hiding its identity?

But that was impossible. This was the headquarters of the special department. No matter how foolish a demon was, it wouldn't appear here. Ordinary people couldn't see through a demon's true form, but for cultivators like them, they could detect it by smell alone.

"You're very rude," Lin Fan said angrily to Heng Jianqiu.

"Do you know what you're holding?" Heng Jianqiu asked.

"Apologize to my hen immediately," Lin Fan demanded.

Old Zhang chimed in, "That's right! Apologize to the hen immediately! It's so good to us, and you scared it. You're really rude. But if you apologize, we're willing to forgive you."

One-Eyed Man felt helpless.

Damn it!

He had just thought that seeing the two mentally ill patients wouldn't be a problem. But the key issue was that these two mentally ill patients were raising a demon.

He didn't care. Such a weak demon couldn't cause much trouble.

But Heng Jianqiu and the others, seeing a demon at the special department headquarters, would definitely not tolerate it.

The situation was simple now.

If you wanted to kill the demon, you'd have to go against the two mentally ill patients.
