Chapter 285: Great Demons" AllianceTranslator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“This is the result of our interrogation of Earth Traveler Sun.” Lightning King opened a video and handed the phone to Li Xianyu.
The video was set in a ward, where the interrogation presumably took place in this stronghold. Earth Traveler Sun was lying in bed, his face pale, and he was in electromagnetic handcuffs and demon-locking chains. A doctor in a white coat entered the video, injecting a small, dark red blood stream into Earth Traveler Sun. Within a few moments, the wounds on Earth Traveler Sun had healed and the light in his mung-bean-like eyeb.a.l.l.s had rekindled.
“This recovery agent was developed by Baoze at a huge expense, and it cost two million dollars for such a small tube.” The voice of the Lightning King rang. “I hope you don"t waste these millions.”
A few million, what bulls.h.i.+t. That"s my blood… Li Xianyu continued to watch.
“You should know what state you are in now, and if you still want to survive, tell us everything you know. Leniency to those who confess, severe punishments to those who resist.” Lightning King"s voice was solemn and dignified.
Earth Traveler Sun in the bed laughed coldly. “It"s just death. We, of the Ancient G.o.ds Clan, were taught that all men are iron, we are not afraid of death.”
Lightning King declared, “You will not die, there"s no point in executing you. We will send you to the Demon Locking Tower in the headquarters and give you good food and lodging.”
“We will always care for your health. Because your future fate is akin to a rat in Baoze"s lab. You will become the property of the Ministry of Scientific Research and the Ministry of Health.”
“In fact, we rarely kill foreign species directly, that"s a wasteful practice. The fact that Baoze"s technology is on par with developed countries and can be at the forefront of the world, is because foreign species like you have made a huge contribution to it.”
Lightning King snapped his finger, and a doctor in a white coat placed an iPad in front of Earth Traveler Sun.
Soon, Earth Traveler Sun"s face quickly changed, and his willingness to face death vanished. The supposed man of iron was so scared that his face was ashen pale. “If I tell you all the information I know, would you let me go?”
“Of course, atoning for your crimes is a rule that is common in all countries around the world, and you can spend the rest of your life in the Demon Locking Tower if your information is useful enough.”
Lightning King said, “What is the background of the force that rescued Li Peiyun this time?”
“They call themselves the Great Demons" Alliance.”
“The Great Demons" Alliance? What does it have to do with the Northeast Demons Alliance?”
“I don"t know, but I don"t think they are linked.” Earth Traveler Sun lowered his voice. “The demons of the Great Demons" Alliance are not foreign species, but are demon descendants of ancient demonic descent.”
“Who are the members of the Great Demons" Alliance?”
“I don"t know. It"s all unfamiliar faces. We"ve been around the community for years and never heard of them.”
“That is to say, the Great Demons" Alliance are new faces.” Li Xianyu noticed that Lightning King had been silent for a long time and that his tone was serious.
Earth Traveler Sun nodded.
“How did the Ancient G.o.ds Clan get involved with them?”
“It"s the advisor.”
“Advisor?”
“Strictly speaking, he was Li Peiyun"s advisor, and he was not a member of the Ancient G.o.ds Clan. We came together because we had the same interests, as did the advisor and Li Peiyun. The advisor was in charge of the biggest s.e.x trade in the demon descendants community, and the members of the Ancient G.o.ds Clan had a sweet place to go wherever they went.”
“We could sleep with beautiful women and frankly, we had a much more comfortable life since our alliance with the advisor.”
Earth Traveler Sun smiled as if reminiscing “The girls were pa.s.sionate and had great service. It was like going home, and the only bad thing was that you would be exhausted, so the G.o.d of War often told us to show restraint.”
“That"s enough. Let"s get back to the point, and don"t go on without limits.” Lightning King coughed.
“The advisor was the one who helped me build a bridge to the Great Demons" Alliance. He is a very amazing person, always has a plan, like Zhuge Kongming, and makes strategic decisions.”
“He has many connections too. If he didn"t help in the battle of the Demonic Priest"s treasures, Sanliban Village, you might have captured the G.o.d of War.”
After a few more questions, the video was over.
“Go back, and there"s a portrait drawn from Earth Traveler Sun"s memory,” Lightning King said.
Li Xianyu scrolled with his finger, and the portrait appeared. At the first glimpse of the portrait, Li Xianyu was stunned. The person depicted in the portrait felt familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen the person.
The portrait was a handsome face with narrow eyes that were almost seams. He wasn"t smiling, but he gave people a smiley aura. It made people think that this man was very sunny and loved to smile.
Li Xianyu thought, and he used his hand to cover his eyes. He only looked at the face and found that the familiarity disappeared. He did not know the face at all. When he covered the face, with only the narrow eyes revealed, he finally reacted. “It"s him!”
Lightning King said in surprise, “You know him?”
Li Xianyu nodded. “Mmhmm, he"s Li Ronghao.”
“What?”
“Pfft, wrong.” Li Xianyu said, “I know his man. To be precise, I met him once in the northeast. He"s from the Hu family of the northeast.”
Lightning King was overjoyed. “I"ll send someone to investigate.”
Li Xianyu motioned for Thunderbolt Battle Lady to bring his mobile phone over. “Don"t bother, I just need to make a call. I have friends from the Hu family.”
After taking the phone from Thunderbolt Battle Lady, he dialed Hu Xinyue"s number, and after a few rings, the phone was connected. “Little Devil, what do you want from me?”
At around 5 A.M., Hu Xinyue should still be sleeping, her voice hoa.r.s.e and soft.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady"s gaze flickered. Li Xianyu did not have close relations with the five foreign species families in the northeast, but secretly exchanged telephone numbers with the Hu family"s fox.
Li Xianyu said, “My left hand misses you.”
Hu Xinyue said, “Come on, come here, I"ll leave the door open for you.”
It seems that my left hand is only a deterrent to good women, seductive demonic ladies actually like it?
“I have business with you. Is there a member with very narrow squinty eyes in your Hu family?” Li Xianyu went straight into the subject. He didn"t bother to tease a demonic lady, because even if anyone else had asked to have s.e.x over the call, she would say yes with a laugh. She had no limits. Li Xianyu had a limit, at least in front of the long-legged beauty.
Hu Xinyu laughed coquettishly. “Of course. All of our family members have narrow eyes. Guys have smaller eyes and ladies have larger ones. Do you want men or women?”
Li Xianyu said exasperatedly, “Then I want your narrow eyes.”
“No problem.”
Lightning King"s expression was dark. “I"ll investigate myself. You flirt with her slowly.”
Li Xianyu waved his hands, asking him to be patient. He said in a serious tone, “Hu Xinyue, we suspect that the Hu family and the Ancient G.o.ds Clan are in collusion and have created a terrorist crisis. You had better answer my question now. If the G.o.d of Fire had personally come to you, it wouldn"t be so easy.”
At the mention of the grumpy old man, G.o.d of Fire, Hu Xinyu didn"t dare to be cheeky. “You"re looking for Hu Yan, but he"s not from our Hu family. He"s the son of the late owner, but the family says he"s the illegitimate son of the clan master.”
“How can you be so sure it"s him?”
“You mentioned narrow eyes. All of the Hu family members have narrow eyes. You have seen the Hu family, if it"s just a normal narrow eyes, then you wouldn"t highlight it particularly. Eyes that are like seams, it"s definitely him.”
The eyes of the Hu family members are naturally beautiful, as if they had natural eyeshadow. Their eyes were charming and beautiful, especially women. No one can resist the gentle gaze of a fox.
“The Northeast Hu family isn"t home in his eyes at all. He lived in the Hu family for a few years when he was very young. He left when he was slightly older, and he didn"t come back until the recent election of the leader of the Demonic Alliance.”
“Oh right, there"s something Baoze doesn"t know, he"s Wu Sanjin"s spy. He helped Wu Sanjin secretly to trigger the battle between the Wu family and the Demonic Alliance, so as to weaken the power of the Demonic Alliance.”
“He even intended to be the leader of the Demonic Alliance. If it hadn"t been for the Golden Eagle Leader"s rise, he would have succeeded.”
Li Xianyu looked at Lightning King, who nodded his head. Li Xianyu replied, “Okay, I got it. If he shows up in the Northeast, you can notify the Northeast Division. Baoze won"t treat you badly.”
Hu Xinyue giggled. “When will you come back to the northeast?”
Li Xianyu"s mouth twitched. “Miss my left hand?”
Didn"t you almost have doubts about your life when you were tortured by it? Is there a combination of pain and happiness?
Seeing Thunderbolt Battle Lady"s dark expression, Li Xianyu stopped flirting. “That"s all, goodbye.” He hung up the call.
Lightning King pulled out a bag of doc.u.ments from his briefcase and threw them at Li Xianyu. “Take a look at these.”
Li Xianyu, opened the doc.u.ments with one hand, poured them out and glanced at them. It was a demon descendant event investigation report.
“This is this year"s demon descendant events survey, focus on a few areas to make a comparison.” Lightning King pulled out a cigarette and lit it up.
“Central China is this chaotic?” Li Xianyu was shocked.
The doc.u.ment included statistics on 2020"s nationwide demon descendant events, with central China having 3.47 times as many as other regions.
Lightning King said, “The awakening of demon descendants has no symptoms and no laws. The most likely way to awaken is the potential trigger of death, the safest way to awaken is to constantly improve the spirit cultivation, which is also the most common way of awakening among the demon descendant families.”
“The children of such families, practice and cultivate their qi and physique from childhood. If they still cannot awaken before the age of 20, he is equivalent to an imbecile. Even if he was a son of the clan master, he would be powerless.”
“The average person"s awakening is more difficult and requires a lot more luck and opportunities. After years of research, statistics and big data a.n.a.lysis, Baoze has come up with a probability that there will be someone who awakens in 200,000 people a year, not including the foreign species.”
“These large demon descendant populations are digested and absorbed by the Buddhist society, the major families, the scattered cultivators organization and Baoze to supplement as fresh blood.”
“However, that probability was broken in April. There is no change elsewhere, except in central China, where this year"s demon descendants awakening has risen by two percentage points, which is a very scary figure.”
“Baoze investigated a lot, and finally found some traces. Last night, we finally caught this big fish.”
“The Great Demons" Alliance?” Li Xianyu asked.
