Twisted Dreams-Chapter 240 - 210: The Demon Has Arrived

Changbai Mountain, near the food basin, at the foot of the mountain.

There are more drones and patrolling administrators than usual.

Bai Ge, the head of Bai Mountain City's Safety Management Station, has been strictly guarding against the Demon Race in Changbai Mountain according to the will of Xie Qilin.

In the sentry post, two security administrators are writing work logs, and two administrators are observing from the watchtower.

About two miles away from the sentry post, behind a small hill, Xie Qilin is secretly lying in the grass, eyes fixed on the sentry post.

Xie Qilin sighed in relief:

"I finally made it here. I thought that Monkey would kill me halfway."

Heartless Little Monkey left a shadow on Xie Qilin. The last time in the ruins, he was almost killed by Heartless Little Monkey.

The Fat Man scratched his head:

"Boss, didn't you say there was a way down the mountain?

The Safety Administration's sentry post is just ahead. What are we doing here?"

The Fat Man and the Drunken Monk are both wanted by the Security Administration.

Criminals seeking the Security Administration, isn't this like a mouse looking for a cat to drink with?

Xie Qilin said:

"We're going there."

Upon hearing this, the Drunken Monk sobered up and looked at Xie Qilin in confusion.

Going to find the Security Administration, isn't this walking into a trap?

The Fat Man blinked:

"Boss, you're not kidding, right?"

Xie Qilin stood up and solemnly clasped his fists at the Fat Man and Drunken Monk:

"Thank you, brothers, for your company all the way. Qilin is immensely grateful!

Alas, life always has its farewells, take care on the road!"

The Fat Man was even more at a loss:

"Boss, I've decided to stick with you.

You're the most awesome person I've ever seen and the best to me.

Wherever you go, I'll go!

Don't be like this, boss. You're making me feel embarrassed."

The Drunken Monk seemed to understand something, looking at Xie Qilin warily as he slowly stood up:

"Fat Man, run!"

The Fat Man turned his head to look at the Drunken Monk behind him:

"Huh? Run?"

The Drunken Monk swallowed a mouthful of wine and fled madly toward the food basin.

The Fat Man didn't understand the situation, turned back around, and saw the Eight-foot Bride standing in front of him.

The claws of the Eight-foot Bride got closer and closer to him.

"Pfft…."

The claws instantly pierced through the Fat Man's head.

His body kept twitching, eyes full of confusion, never understanding why Xie Qilin would kill him even to the very end.

He didn't feel much pain, perhaps it was the human pain nerves being gentle to the human body for the last time.

Things from the past flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He saw that poor little mountain village, where during the New Year, eating dumplings meant taking turns for everyone.

The Fat Man's family had many younger siblings; he didn't understand why poor parents were so keen on having children.

Even though the Fat Man tried to suppress his appetite, his siblings were always famished.

That day, his mother stayed overnight at the village chief's house, returning the next day with several pounds of rice; it seemed the Fat Man suddenly grew up.

He ran away from home and began to wander.

In this lifetime, he's been to many places and endured much bullying.

He originally thought the Xie Family was his last stop, and indeed it was his final stop.

Xie Qilin murmured: 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Brother, your wish was to have a full meal. At least you've eaten enough with me, I've repaid you."

The Power of Death surged from the Eight-foot Bride's hand, corroding the Fat Man's body until he quickly turned into a pile of bones.

Following that, the Eight-foot Bride transformed into a puff of black smoke, engulfing the fleeing Drunken Monk.

The Drunken Monk wanted to scream, but the Eight-foot Bride's Power of Death sealed his vocal cords.

Not long after, the Drunken Monk also died, turning into a skeleton just like the Fat Man.

Xie Qilin looked regretfully at the Drunken Monk.

Whether it was the Drunken Monk or the Fat Man, they were both powerful and reliable subordinates.

From the food basin to here, these two were Xie Qilin's best cards to fend off Heartless Little Monkey.

Having reached here, these two had served their purpose.

Xie Qilin needed to go to the Security Administration's sentry post; he couldn't let the administrators find out he was with fugitives.

Xie Qilin tidied his clothes and ran towards the sentry post, feigning panic:

"Help! Help!"

...

Sentry post.

Xie Qilin sat trembling on a chair, drinking hot water, looking frightened and terrified, unsure of what he had encountered.

An administrator with a pen and paper asked:

"Sir, how did you enter the mountain?"

Xie Qilin swallowed:

"That day there was thick fog, my friends and I got lost at the bottom of the mountain, somehow ending up inside."

The administrator immediately asked:

"Your friends? Where are your friends?"

Xie Qilin paused for a moment, his expression growing fearful:

"They're dead! They died!"

The administrator's face was shocked:

"Dead?"

Xie Qilin's tears poured out as he sobbed uncontrollably:

"Dead! Dead! Eaten by demons!

We got lost and saw someone waving at us.

We thought it was a hunter from the mountain, thinking to ask for help.

It turned out, it was a monster! No, a demon!

They ate my companions. I escaped while the demons were eating my friends!"

The administrator's expression grew stern.

Demons eating people, this is a serious matter, a dereliction of duty by the Safety Administration!

That administrator sternly ordered:

"Report to Station Chief Bai Ge immediately!"

At this moment, a strong wave of Spiritual Power erupted outside the sentry post.

The administrator on the watchtower sounded the alarm:

"It's the Demon King Li Xinyuan and the fugitive Ye Fan! Be alert!"

Xie Qilin lowered his head, a puzzled expression hidden in the shadows where the administrators couldn't see.

Why only those two?

I burned Peach Mountain, captured Ye Fan's master, and only these two came?

...

"Xie Qilin! Come out and face me!"

Ye Fan stood outside the sentry post, roaring in anger.

The administrator on the watchtower shouted loudly:

"Demon and villain, leave quickly!

Do you mean to provoke the Security Administration?!"

Heartless Little Monkey cursed:

"You talk too damn much!"

Heartless Little Monkey conjured a flame in his hand, throwing it at the sentry post.

"Boom!"

The sentry post exploded instantly, the administrators scrambling down the tower to avoid serious injury.

Recently, due to strict military control in Changbai Mountain, Bai Ge was not far at the foot of the mountain; at the sound of the alarm from the sentry post, the safety administrators quickly rushed up the mountain.

The alarm whistled, administrators armed with guns and standard weapons forming a defense line in front of Heartless Little Monkey and Ye Fan.

Several snipers from the Safety Administration, positioned at vantage points, aimed their scopes at Heartless Little Monkey and Ye Fan.

A major confrontation was imminent.

Bai Ge walked toward Heartless Little Monkey and Ye Fan, speaking in a deep voice:

"Are you two here to break the human-demon pact?"

Ye Fan clasped his fists:

"I did not wish to come here today. I only came for one person, this has nothing to do with the Demon Race, or with humans."

Bai Ge frowned.

Heartless Little Monkey cursed:

"Damn it, hand over Xie Qilin!"

Bai Ge questioned suspiciously:

"Xie Qilin?"

Heartless Little Monkey cursed angrily:

"He killed my kind, burned Peach Mountain, captured my brother's master!

If I don't take Xie Qilin's head to mourn for the souls of Peach Mountain today, I'll storm Bai Mountain City!!"

Bai Ge finally understood why Xie Qilin spent so much to come up the mountain.

This madman actually intends to tear the peace pact between humans and demons!

Bai Ge clasped his fists:

"Let me go verify this, please wait a moment."
