Chapter 14 Demons

Longyu Shopping Mall is an old shopping mall, but it is far less clean and tidy than newer shopping malls, and even the air conditioning is not as strong as in other shopping malls.

Many guests wiped their sweat with tissues as they walked.

As Du Wang entered the mall, he faintly heard a ringing in his ears.

Cheng Huo looked up at the fifth floor, rubbed his ears, and cursed, "Damn, this is too noisy. Do we have to check every floor?"

Wang Di said, "Demons and monsters will have outward signs when they descend to earth. You can listen carefully to see where there are any unexpected situations."

"it is good."

Du Wang volunteered, "How about this, I'll go to the fifth floor. You listen from the bottom up, and I'll search from the top down. That should help us find the demon faster."

"No problem." Cheng Huo gave an OK sign.

Du Wang immediately headed straight for the escalator, and under everyone's gaze, he quickly climbed to the fifth floor in three steps at a time.

The fifth floor was quiet, and the shops were mostly high-end clothing brands, so there weren't many customers.

Even so, there are still dozens of shops, and it would be too slow to look at them one by one.

Du Wang's mind raced, trying to think of a faster way.

As he thought about it, his eyes lit up.

He then tossed the Suspended Eye directly onto the head of the three-legged corpse crow, and said to the crow, "Brother Crow, fly around for me!"

"?"

The three-legged corpse crow tilted its head and stared at him.

Does that mean you're using me like a drone?

Du Wang explained in a serious tone, "The faster we find the demons, the faster we can fill our stomachs."

Perhaps they accepted this explanation.

The Corpse Crow flapped its wings twice, took off from its shoulder, and carried Suspended Eyes around the fifth floor.

Meanwhile, Du Wang used the Corpse Crow brand drone to take in the situation of all the shops.

Nothing was found; the demons did not descend upon this level.

So when the corpse crow returned, he hurriedly ran to the 4th floor and continued to do the same thing.

Meanwhile, Cheng Huo was also listening intently to any unusual situation in the mall.

"There are no unusual noises on the basement level."

"I didn't hear a thing on the first floor."

"Hey, there's an argument going on the second floor!"

"So it was the wife catching the mistress, good job! But why is the mistress a man?"

Despite his intense curiosity, Cheng Huo restrained himself and turned to listen to what was happening on the third floor.

A short while later, a cry of surprise rang out.

Cheng Huo quickly alerted, "Someone has fainted on the third floor!"

"Wang Di, call the rescue team for help."

"Okay," Wang Di replied.

"I'm already on the third floor!"

Du Wang, who was able to discover the situation first thanks to the Corpse Crow brand drone, rushed to the 3rd floor and found a group of people gathered around the corner.

"Make way!"

He pushed through the crowd and entered.

An elderly woman wearing a purple top and floral pants was lying on the ground, her fate unknown.

Du Wang squatted down beside her and began to check the situation.

A short while later, Cheng Huo ran over.

He asked, "Dude, what's going on?"

"It's very strange, look."

Cheng Huo followed Du Wang's gaze to the old woman's face and found that her eyes were half-open, her pupils were dilated and unfocused, and her expression was calm.

Her posture was somewhat strange; her left arm was bent, her left hand was loosely clenched in front of her chest, and her right hand hung naturally at her side.

At the same time, her lips and the tip of her nose turned bluish-purple.

The veins on her cheeks were slightly sunken, and her entire skin appeared ashen and pale.

It was as if all the blood in my body had been drained in an instant.

Du Wang said in a deep voice, "I just asked the others, and they said the old lady had been lying on the ground for no more than two minutes."

Cheng Huo chimed in, "But her physical condition is as if she had been dead for a long time."

"That's right."

"It's definitely related to demons! Have you noticed anything?"

"not yet."

In fact, Du Wang did make a discovery.

In his vision, he could see a faint black mist swirling around the old woman's chest, indicating that she had just come into contact with the demon.

But the demon left no other trace, as if it had vanished into thin air.

So he snapped his fingers as he searched along the body.

The next second, the onlookers seemed to have seen something and gradually dispersed from their spot.

Cheng Huo knew he had used an illusion, and turned to scan the surroundings: "If she is unconscious here, it means the demon is nearby."

After saying that, he placed his hand on the corpse, and ears sprouted out, searching for information in the vicinity like radar.

After searching for a while, Cheng Huo made a discovery.

"There's something going on downstairs!"

The two immediately ran up to the second floor.

As soon as I got off the escalator, I saw someone lying unconscious in front of the shop.

"Why did he suddenly collapse?"

"Is he having a heart attack?"

Passersby began to gather again, and some even called the hospital.

However, they soon discovered that the man had stood up again and said that he had just accidentally fallen.

"It turned out he just fell down; I thought he was dead."

"That's alright, let's go."

Passersby put down their phones and continued shopping.

After the illusion dispersed the crowd, Du Wang squatted down next to the man and stared at the face that was rapidly losing its color.

The man was wearing a black shirt, white trousers, and a bracelet of mixed purple and white beads on his wrist.

His right hand was loosely clenched and hung down by his side, while his left hand was in a normal position.

His face remained calm, his eyes were half-open, his skin was slightly sunken, his pupils were unfocused, and his lips were bluish-purple.

The situation was exactly the same as that of the old lady.

This eerie scene made one's heart clench.

After all, they haven't seen any demons yet, but two lives have already been lost.

"What the hell! Is this the benevolent change predicted?" Cheng Huo frowned deeply; this was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome fellow.

However, Wang Di's voice remained calm in the earpiece: "Don't rush, let me take a look first."

Cheng Huo held up the equipment and broadcast the body live to her.

Du Wang then looked at the black mist remaining on the man's chest and directly lifted his clothes.

There were specks of blood seeping from the skin on his chest.

But the bloodstains did not flow from the outside in, but from the inside out.

"Could it be...?"

A few seconds later, Wang Di said, "Judging from their faces, it seems like they have a combination of symptoms from lack of oxygen and decompression. Let's move to a different spot so I can check their chests."

"No need to look anymore," Du Wang interjected. "The demons must have attacked their hearts directly from within, killing them instantly."

"What?"

Cheng Huo's eyes widened, and he subconsciously touched his chest.

Wang Di was also stunned for a moment, then quickly typed on the keyboard: "Good at opening hearts, good at changing, there are currently 126 demons that meet the requirements, but it's not enough."

"You need to find commonalities among the victims in order to ultimately identify your target."

This demon's attack was very purposeful.

Du Wang stared at the male corpse on the ground, comparing it to the corpse of the old woman upstairs.

Is it because the two look similar?

Or do they have some similar physical characteristics?

Or perhaps they said the same things and did the same things before they died?

A jumble of thoughts filled his mind, and just as he was pondering, a scream came from downstairs!

"what!"

Du Wang's heart tightened, and he rushed to the railing.

But it turned out not to be the demon they had imagined, but a grumpy, thin man who was tightly gripping another young man's neck!

"I've found you."

He let out a strange cry and, amidst the shocked gazes of passersby, leaped away like a monkey.

This leap covered five meters.

The shop's windows were smashed, goods were scattered all over the floor, and the shop assistants fled in terror.

He then grabbed the young man and rushed into the fire escape, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Damn! There's a wild superhuman! Call for backup!"

Cheng Huo shouted into his headset, and his body suddenly glowed red as he rushed toward the back of the superhuman at an extremely fast speed.

Du Wang then had Shi Wu carry Xuan Tong behind Cheng Huo, while he rushed into the fire escape on the second floor, intending to join Cheng Huo in cornering the intruder who had caused this trouble.
