Chapter 106 The Scaled Banshee, Time is of the Essence
On the rooftop of a building in the Masterpiece Private Garden, Jiang Han had just arrived when he saw Lingling sitting on the edge of the building, holding a laptop. Without saying a word, Jiang Han went over and pulled Lingling down from the edge, scolding her, "Girl, do you know how dangerous it is to sit here?"
"I'm not a three-year-old, what danger could I possibly be in? But is the milk tea you bought made with grass jelly? If not, I won't drink it," Lingling said calmly.
"Here you go, your large cup of grass jelly." Jiang Han handed over the milk tea he was carrying.
Lingling accepted the milk tea without hesitation and drank it, then pushed the notebook she was holding to Jiang Han.
"This is the situation at my family's place. I expect there will be some activity soon. But what about that guy Fan Mo? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Lingling said, frowning as she bit her straw.
After waiting for about ten more minutes, Mo Fan hurriedly ran up. Jiang Han glanced at him and said indifferently, "You're late."
"Sigh, I ran into a few girls on my way here in a taxi, and I couldn't exactly kick them out," Mo Fan said, panting.
Jiang Han tossed a cup of milk tea to Mo Fan and said casually, "Here, this is yours. Hurry up and keep an eye on things; that family is probably going to make a move soon."
After seeing the surveillance video on the laptop, Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise, "When did you install so many cameras in that house? What if they sue us for invasion of privacy?"
"They're about to die, what do they need privacy for? What does privacy matter compared to life?" Jiang said coldly.
In fact, Jiang Han was also very curious about how Lingling managed to install so many cameras in the family's house without disturbing them. Since Lingling didn't tell him, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.
"Cough cough cough, holy crap, Jiang Han, look at this, isn't it human skin?" Mo Fan, who was drinking milk tea, choked on his drink after watching the surveillance video. It wasn't anything else, but because Mo Fan saw a human skin in the surveillance footage at the bathroom door.
"It really is this thing. You two get ready to protect their child," Lingling said calmly.
Mo Fan asked in confusion, "What the hell is this? It can even shed its skin like a snake."
"Scaled Banshees are a type of parasitic demon. During the day, they live like normal people, but at night they transform into demons covered in green scales. Most importantly, these demons are contagious!" Jiang Han said calmly.
"What? It's contagious? Oh no! You all need to get rid of this demon quickly! If it spreads in the Demon Capital, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lingling said anxiously.
When Mo Fan looked at the surveillance footage on his laptop again, he exclaimed in shock, "She...she's disappeared!!"
"Let's go, Fanmo, you go find that woman. Jiang Han and I will protect that family's child. Also, as far as I know, this kind of demon likes to suck the blood of young women. If it's a magician, it'll be even more interested. Time is of the essence, you must find that demon in the neighborhood as soon as possible." Lingling said, taking a Bluetooth headset out of her pocket and handing it to Mo Fan.
After putting on the Bluetooth headset, Mo Fan braced himself with his hands on the edge of the roof and jumped off.
If an ordinary person were here, they would probably scream in fright. It's only because Mo Fan has the Shadow element that he dares to be so reckless. If someone else jumped from here, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.
As Mo Fan's figure fell into the shadows of the lower half of the building, he suddenly disappeared into the darkness, appearing somewhat eerie in the night.
"Using the different visual differences of buildings to perform the falling shadow technique, that's the Shadow element," Lingling said in surprise.
This Mo Fan really surprised her a bit. He awakened the Shadow element at the mid-stage. She didn't expect that her grandfather was right and that he was a good prospect.
Jiang Han said calmly, "Let's go, we should go down now."
"Okay." Lingling said, then picked up her laptop and went downstairs with Jiang Han.
The Masterpiece Private Garden community has a circular children's playground, a small square on the west side of the park, and a swimming pool on the south side. Most importantly, the landscaping here is excellent, with large, quiet groves of trees, making it the perfect place for young couples to meet at night.
After jumping off the rooftop, Mo Fan moved along the shadowy areas. After landing on the ground, he quickly used his Shadow Step to slip into the quiet grove of trees, where a young couple was having a secret rendezvous.
"Um~, don't do that, what if someone sees us..."
"What are you afraid of? Who would come here so late at night? Just let me give you a kiss."
Mo Fan encountered this situation as soon as he entered the grove. If it weren't for his mission, he would definitely be here watching a live stream. Mo Fan doesn't have any special fetishes; he just wants them to become famous online, hehe.
Mo Fan's figure suddenly appeared in the grove, startling the two young lovers who were about to get intimate.
"Lingling, there's no trace of it in the grove," Mo Fan reported to Lingling through his Bluetooth headset.
"Then go to the property management office and ask which women under 20 are magicians." Lingling's melodious voice came through the Bluetooth headset.
"Okay." After finishing his call with Lingling, Mo Fan smiled and said to the two young couple, "You two continue, I didn't see anything, you two continue."
After saying that, Mo Fan disappeared from his spot again. After Mo Fan left, the girl blushed and pushed the boy away. The boy cursed Mo Fan in his heart for ruining his good time.
Ahem, we've gotten off-topic. After Mo Fan went to the property management office, he showed them his demon-hunting credentials and said he was investigating the whereabouts of demons. With his demon-hunting credentials, the property management was very cooperative and quickly gathered the necessary information for him. They even warmly poured him a glass of water. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Mo Fan would have definitely drunk some water before leaving.
After leaving the property management office, Mo Fan used his Bluetooth headset to communicate with Lingling again, saying, "I've asked around, and there are more than seventy households in the entire community that meet the criteria, but only about six households have registered as magicians."
"Which house is closest to that woman's?" Lingling continued asking through the earpiece.
"The nearest apartment is shared by three female students from a prestigious university; I'm on my way there now," Mo Fan replied hurriedly.
At the same time, Jiang Han and Lingling arrived at the door of that house. They could hear the baby crying coming from inside. Lingling's expression changed drastically. "Oh no, that child is in danger. We have to go in quickly."
"Okay, step aside for a second, I'll just break down the door and go in." Jiang Han gestured for Lingling to take a few steps back.
Jiang Han was engulfed in blue-purple flames, and with a powerful punch, the door was shattered by the flames. As soon as the door was breached, Jiang Han and Lingling rushed into the room, only to be met with a man's furious roar.
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry! Don't you know what I hate most about you is your crying?!"
"Waaaaaahh ...
Looking at the footage on the surveillance video, Lingling said anxiously, "Jiang Han, that woman's husband is also shedding his skin in that room. It will be troublesome if we wait until he finishes shedding his skin."
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to that child." As Jiang Han spoke, he unleashed a ball of blue-purple flame, burning the door to ashes. The man, covered in green scales, looked at Jiang Han and Lingling with his scarlet eyes, completely ignoring them as they entered.
"From today onwards, I will never, ever have to hear your annoying voice again!!" the man said in a hoarse voice.
P.S.: Bye-bye, that's all for today's chapter.
