Chapter 48 Blue Demon
Soon after, the coffee shop door was pushed open, and a girl blowing bubble gum and carrying a huge bag walked into the coffee shop, looking around. Her short silver-gray hair was exactly the same as the girl in the photo.

Ye Mingqiu, sitting in the back corner, felt a slight tremor in his pupils. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the daughter in the blood-red butcher's photo.

Although he felt apologetic, he didn't regret it. After all, humans and the Crimson Butchers were two naturally hostile camps, and the Crimson Butcher wasn't a good person either; the things in his lab were the best proof of that.

Ye Mingqiu may feel guilty, but he will never repent because of this, nor will he become soft-hearted because of it.

The silver-haired girl's gaze swept across the entire store, finally locking onto a certain figure—a boy dressed like a student, namely Changfeng.

A slight smile played on her lips as she walked straight to Changfeng, pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked, "Do you have any additional information about Qinggui?"

Aoki?

A new Red Hermit?

Ye Mingqiu's gaze shifted, but compared to Qing Gui's identity, he was more concerned that this girl actually asked Chang Feng for information directly in the coffee shop. Sure enough, this coffee shop was not simple.

He had a feeling something was wrong before. The coffee shop was located in a very remote area, far from the city center. In a world where the Red Hidden Ones were rampant, it was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to set up a coffee shop in such a place.

More importantly, it was a rainy night when Ye Mingqiu arrived, and he worked until nearly 11 p.m., and the boss hadn't closed the shop even then, which was obviously very unusual.

If the boss were an ordinary person, he should leave work early and go home to avoid being attacked by the Red Shadows.

"Isn't it inappropriate to just talk like this?"

Changfeng's lips twitched. The guy who looked like Qinggui himself was sitting behind him drinking coffee. How could he dare to talk about the other person in front of him? What if something happened?

"It's okay, it's just a game character. If you agree on the terms, I'll give you item rewards."

The silver-haired girl crossed her legs and leaned back casually, blowing her bubble gum bigger. Her earrings with white flame patterns shimmered in the sunlight, seemingly possessing some special power.

Suffered
Changfeng secretly thought to herself that things were not good. If the other party hadn't said that, it would have been fine. But because she said it, Ye Mingqiu would definitely pay more attention to the conversation. After all, he wasn't a local who knew nothing; he was a psionicist.

After a brief struggle, he noticed the girl's gaze growing increasingly impatient, so he retorted in a desperate manner, "The Blue Demon is very strong. It's currently impossible to determine whether he's human or a Red Hidden One. He can easily kill ordinary Red Hidden Ones, and his killing intent is enough to make them beg for mercy. I witnessed that myself."

This feels kind of familiar.
Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly, picked up his coffee and continued to sip it silently.

"Level prediction".

"S-level or above".

"I'll go survey the location where it appeared."

"North District Machinery Factory".

"it is good."

The silver-haired girl stood up and walked out of the coffee shop without hesitation, continuing to blow bubbles nonchalantly, as if the S-class and above that Changfeng mentioned posed no threat to her whatsoever.

In the back corner, Ye Mingqiu was quietly drinking coffee, feeling an urge to corner Changfeng in the alley and give him a good scolding.

"Dong dong!"

Just as he was thinking this, there was a knock on the transparent glass next to him. Ye Mingqiu looked up in confusion and saw that the silver-haired girl was standing outside the coffee shop, basking in the sunlight, smiling and waving at him, as if she was signaling him to come out.

Ok?
What does she want to do?

Ye Mingqiu didn't know what the other party was thinking, but being able to communicate with a superhuman in this world was a good thing in itself. If he could get more information from it, he could also gain more benefits, which was great.

So he finished his coffee and followed them out of the coffee shop.

In the alley

"Peng!"

The silver-haired girl planted her huge backpack on the ground, leaned against it, and asked with a smile, "Hey, do you know why I called you out?" "No."

"Heh, still being stubborn. You have a very strong blood energy aura on you. It's impossible for a normal person to have so much blood energy on them," the silver-haired girl said with a smile.

"What, you doubt that I am the Crimson Hermit?"

Ye Mingqiu appeared casual, seemingly full of openings, but in reality, he was ready for battle at any moment.

“Of course not. Crimson Hermits can’t drink coffee like you. They have a blood curse and can’t eat any ordinary food unless you are a Crimson Supreme, but that’s impossible,” the silver-haired girl said.

"Then why did you contact me?"

“I’m looking for someone to take the risk with. You have a strong aura of blood energy, which means you must have killed a lot of Crimson Hidden Ones recently, or even a powerful one. You are very strong, stronger than that guy, so I’ve chosen to travel with you.”

The silver-haired girl smiled, casually spat the bubble gum in her mouth into the nearby trash heap, and then took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth.

Is it really just that?
Ye Mingqiu maintained a certain level of skepticism and vigilance. Anything could happen when exploring the spirit world, and staying alert at all times was the most basic thing.

He thought for a moment and said, "I've seen you before."

"Oh?"

"Give."

Ye Mingqiu reached into his pocket, took out a photo of the Bloodstained Butcher from his storage space, and handed it to the girl.

The silver-haired woman took the photo, her previously casual gaze instantly turning serious. She flipped the photo over to the other side and demanded, "Where did you find this thing?!"

"When the Red Hermit was killed."

"."

She paused briefly, then asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Where is the owner of the photo?"

"Killed by the Crimson Hermit."

"Phew~ Was he killed by the Crimson Hermit?"

The silver-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, gently biting her lip as she looked at the crooked handwriting on the back of the photo. Her eyes flickered, and there seemed to be tears welling up in them, but she only said, "That's good. That's good."

She accepted the photo, took the lollipop out of her mouth, stepped forward, and extended her hand, saying, "Pure Flame Society, Silver Princess, please take care of me."

Ye Mingqiu shook hands with him, gently shook him, and said, "I am the Divine Lord, please give me your guidance."

Yin Ji popped the lollipop into her mouth again and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have some kind of connection with Ao Oni, right?"

"reason."

“When you were talking to me just now, Changfeng seemed a bit off. There was no one else in the coffee shop, so I guess it’s related to you. You must have some kind of connection with Qinggui, or you might even be Qinggui himself,” Yin Ji replied.

"How perceptive."

Ye Mingqiu exclaimed in admiration.

Yin Ji may seem carefree and reckless, disregarding the feelings of others, but she is actually very careful and meticulous. She can observe every detail and deduce the answer from it. She is a bold yet meticulous person.
