"La la la, la la la, I’m the news vendor..."
A small figure, carrying a bamboo basket, sang a crisp song while skipping down the street at night.
A Tentacle Monster with an eye imprint on its forehead crawled out of the alley, extending a sharp-clawed hand, intending to break into a house and snatch someone away.
But it suddenly saw the small figure, shivered violently, and shrank back.
However, the little creature didn’t let it go but instead skipped after it as if playing a game.
After a short chase, the Tentacle Monster reached a plaza.
The little creature grinned, revealing sharp teeth. He didn’t like killing because he believed every being had a reason for existence, even demons who reeked of sulfur.
So, he guided others to kill demons but wouldn’t do it himself.
But this kind of tentacle monster was an exception; they weren’t natural creatures but slaughtering machines bred, a blasphemy to nature.
So the little creature wanted to eliminate it upon seeing it.
In recent days, he had already dealt with dozens of such monsters, but this time he hesitated.
Instinctively sensing danger, he quickly made his body intangible and disappeared into the air...
"Tch, bad luck, this little thing is quite clever."
A man in a pink robe jumped to the center of the plaza, swearing loudly.
This man’s brain was two to three times larger than an average person’s, not covered by a skull or scalp, exposed in the air, resembling a pink cauliflower.
"Darling, did you let that Little Wagtail Ghost escape?"
A scantily clad woman, with a horn on her head and translucent wings on her back, suddenly appeared beside the cauliflower-headed man, swinging his arm around playfully.
"That Little Wagtail Ghost is too cunning. One more step, and he would have fallen into my trap, yet he noticed."
Little Wagtail Ghost was the name for that small monster.
This elf-like creature, with a semi-tangible body, didn’t excel in direct combat but possessed various magical abilities, making it quite troublesome.
Ever since the Abyss Eye descended upon Sihu City, this Little Wagtail Ghost had been causing trouble, ruining many plans.
By handling the Little Wagtail Ghost in a special way, it could be turned into a potion to refine soul and energy purity.
In the Inner World, these creatures weren’t numerous, and capturing them was extremely difficult, giving them considerable value to demons.
Thus, the cauliflower-headed man wanted to capture the Little Wagtail Ghost, planning to offer it as a gift upon the arrival of the Pure White Lord, but despite many preparations, it was all in vain.
The cauliflower-headed man displayed a determined look on his face: "Don’t be disheartened. I’ll catch it one day. I’ll keep researching for you. I will certainly improve the mosquito’s genes, filling the world with mosquitoes even in winter, and let the Mosquito Clan thrive in this world."
The Mosquito Lady’s eyes seemed to fill with hearts as she kissed the cauliflower-headed man excitedly, gazing fondly at his ugly face: "Darling, you’re the best to me."
"Because I love you."
They clung to each other for a while until the Mosquito Lady finally left.
The cauliflower-headed man watched her back with a bizarre smile, then started complaining to a demon nearby.
"That big-busted, brainless foolish woman actually believes I’m researching for her sake. If it wasn’t for her leadership over the mosquito swarm, she’d have been lying on my experiment table long ago."
This cauliflower-headed man was also a councilor of the Abyss Eye, a Great Demon of the True Order Realm, named Brookley.
He’s been harboring a grand plan to overthrow humanity, intending to use mosquitoes for human extinction!
Even unmodified mosquitoes spread diseases causing at least a million Federation People to die annually, far exceeding the human self-casualties from mutual conflicts!
Moreover, mosquitoes are worldwide, practically everyone has been bitten, making it nearly impossible to completely evade bites.
Brookley’s plan involves creating mosquitoes capable of surviving in all environments and intrinsically carrying a lethal toxin to humans.
While the mosquitoes carry deadly viruses to humans, they are currently too vulnerable to survive naturally. Brookley’s current research aims to grant them survival abilities in harsh conditions.
Filling the world’s winter mosquito gap isn’t mere empty talk.
The Little Wagtail Ghost escaped to an empty alley, squatting by the wall, panting heavily as sweat dripped from its forehead.
If not for its instincts warning about imminent danger, it might have died there.
Annoyed, it scratched its skin, only to pull off the entire layer!
Underneath wasn’t anything horrific but rather a miniature, exquisitely crafted beautiful girl. View the correct content at NovelHub)
Her body’s proportions matched a seventeen or eighteen-year-old human girl, dressed in a brown leather vest and short skirt, adorned with pretty feathers on her limbs and hair, with gray-white, chibi-style wings on her back.
She wasn’t some exotic angel but an ’Avians’ creature, akin to a natural elf.
This form was the Little Wagtail Ghost’s true appearance, the previous monster form merely a playful disguise.
Similar disguise suits included Petite Iron Beast, Lil’ Inferior Demon, and even a human little girl suit.
Wagtail was a bird name, and the entire Little Wagtail Ghost clan comprised beautiful miniature girls who liked mischievous pranks but were generally kind, though their thinking differed from normal creatures.
She liked most humans, detesting the greedy, evil, and nature-destructive ones among them.
She hated all demons, naturally never turning a blind eye to demons slaughtering humans, hence why she guided Demon Hunters to fight them.
The recent narrow escape made her realize she couldn’t handle those demons alone, and ordinary people couldn’t help her either.
Her best help option now was that superpower user who chased her earlier!
With River Willow Residence destroyed, Wen Wen’s only breakthrough point was the Kowei Group.
So, he planned to take Tao Qingqing to visit Kowei Group personally.
Under the premise of not destroying Kowei Group, they aimed to gather evidence of their ties to demons, then collaborate with the Hunter Association to prevent the entire Kowei Group from collapsing after dealing with Zhang Kewei and others.
During the entire operation, they must minimize the impact on ordinary employees, who mostly knew nothing, and ensure they aren’t unnecessarily involved.
