Chapter 113 Demon-Hunting Prodigy, The Position of the Demon Mother
"Hey, isn't this Lingling, the little demon-hunting prodigy from the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds? Little girl, do you have any good ideas?" The high-level mage in charge of Zone B of the city's demon-hunting team walked over and said with a smile.
Lingling opened the laptop she was holding and said, "My two partners and I previously dealt with two scaly monsters. The male was killed by one of my partners, and the one hiding in the gymnasium now is probably the female from back then. From my observation, although these red dots move around randomly, there are always some female monsters gathering in this location."
As Lingling spoke, she pointed to a spot on the stadium's structural diagram. The man in the leather jacket asked in surprise, "Where is this?"
"It's the stadium's automatic lift platform. These are usually not used, and there are safety nets around it. Oh, and it'll be used in today's concert," a teacher familiar with the stadium said as they walked over.
"How do we get there?" Lingling asked, turning her head.
"There's a small passage on the third floor that leads directly to the rising stage," a teacher quickly said.
"Lingling, do you mean that the Scaled Demon Mother might be hiding on the rising platform?" the leather-clad man said.
Qu Heng, a high-ranking mage from the city's demon-hunting team, turned to the academy's teacher and asked, "Is it possible to overlook the entire stadium from that rising platform?"
"Yes, that's fine," the academy teacher nodded in reply.
"Then there's no time to lose. I'll send someone to deal with this scaly demon mother immediately."
"No, this Scaled Demon Mother is clearly intelligent. She's standing on high up to control the whole situation. If we rush in, we'll definitely be detected. Lingling, you have a partner, right? I've heard of Jiang Han. He's the captain of my third squad. He's quite strong and should be able to deal with that Scaled Demon Mother."
Inside the stadium, after Mo Fan explained the situation to Zhao Manyan, Zhao Manyan thought for a moment and then spoke up: "You should know that I am from the Zhao family. My family's influence in Shanghai is no less than that of the Mu family, where Mu Nujiao is from. Disciples of aristocratic families are not as domineering as outsiders say. We must not only be outstanding, but also recruit talents for the family."
"If I can be the one to resolve this crisis and help the aristocratic families enhance their reputation, I will be even more valued by them."
After listening, Mo Fan shook his head and sighed, "The struggles between powerful families are truly complicated. So, you want to join us?"
"Well, of course I won't take advantage of you. If you want me to join, I'll definitely pay you a price that will satisfy you."
"Do you think we should let Jiang Han join? If we do, we should be able to squeeze a hefty sum out of Zhao Manyan, that big shot. What do you think, should we let him join?" Mo Fan said with a smile, leaning closer to Jiang Han.
Jiang Han thought for a moment and said, "You seem to be a light-type, right? These parasitic demons are extremely afraid of light. Having his light-type skills can indeed reduce a lot of our pressure. You can join us, but you have to follow our arrangements."
"Sure, but let's make this clear beforehand: you're after money, I'm after fame. If there's any danger to my life, I'll just turn around and leave."
"In that case, let's get ready to go." After saying that, Jiang Han took Mo Fan out first, leaving Zhao Manyan and his girlfriend behind to explain things. After explaining things, he followed them.
Not long after they ran out of the lounge, the three of them heard a loud roar in the corridor.
"Did you hear anything?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
"It should be the automatic door starting up," Jiang Han said calmly.
As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, Lingling's voice came through their earphones.
"Jiang Han, Mo Fan, all exits of the stadium are now blocked. Be prepared for a fierce battle."
"What's going on? Why are the stadium exits blocked?" Mo Fan asked in confusion before Lingling could finish speaking.
"This is a decision made by the school and the Hunter Alliance. They can't let anyone carrying demon blood escape, otherwise the consequences would be dire. So the school has to take isolation measures," Lingling explained.
"There's another thing I need to mention. The Scaled Demon Mother is hiding on the concert's rising stage. If she gets desperate, everyone she's parasitized will die. Therefore, the Hunter's Alliance and the City Demon Hunting Team can't provide support; it's up to the two of you. Finally, I have something else to say: Mo Fan, you liar!!!"
"Okay, we agree."
In the stairwell, Zhao Manyan and Jiang Han ran frantically, both of them out of breath.
"So, where are we going?" Zhao Manyan asked as they ran.
"The third floor, the concert stage's rising platform," Jiang Han said calmly.
Mo Fan glanced at Zhao Manyan, then asked, "Jiang Han, Zhao Manyan's light magic might have an effect on ordinary scaly banshees, but we're going to deal with the Demon Mother on the third floor. Can this guy handle it?"
"Mo Fan, I'm a mid-level mage, for goodness' sake. Who are you looking down on?" Zhao Manyan retorted.
"Wow, you're a mid-level mage? I never knew that. If you're a mid-level mage, why didn't you participate in the Freshman Beast Fighting Tournament?"
"If you weren't my roommate, I would have beaten you up this morning. As for Jiang Han, well, his strength is ridiculously high. He'd just get beaten up if he went up there. I must be stupid to go up there and let him feed the enemy."
While Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were chatting, they arrived at the stairwell on the third floor. As soon as they pushed open the door, Lingling's anxious voice came through the earpiece.
"Be careful, the entire third floor is covered by red dots, and the banshees from other areas are all gathering in your area."
Jiang Han pushed open the stairwell door and led Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan into the dimly lit corridor. Several girls wearing volunteer armbands walked towards them; if Lingling hadn't pointed it out, Jiang Han and the others wouldn't have been able to tell that these girls had been parasitized by demons. The doors to the rest rooms opened one by one, and two or three parasitized girls came out of each room. Soon, the entire corridor was filled with parasitized girls.
"Mo Fan, you go to the venue first. Zhao Manyan and I will be there shortly," Jiang Han said calmly.
"Alright, then be careful." As Mo Fan spoke, the dark purple star trail beneath his feet completed its connection, and then Mo Fan's body turned into a shadow and disappeared into the dimly lit corridor.
With a sizzle, the girls in the corridor instantly molted, transforming into scaly female demons covered in green scales.
"Gulp!" Zhao Manyan swallowed silently as he watched the scene before him.
This is terrifying! Just a moment ago they were beautiful young women, and in the blink of an eye they've transformed into ferocious demons. What if they suddenly turned into monsters while we were doing *that* with them? Wouldn't that be...?
Zhao Manyan's back was soaked with cold sweat as he thought to himself, "Looks like when I get a new girlfriend, I'll have to cut off her thumb first to see if she's been parasitized by some kind of demon, so she won't get killed while she's having a good time."
"You just use the Holy Shield of Light to protect the surroundings, and leave the rest to me," Jiang Han said calmly.
"Oh, okay, okay." Zhao Manyan was still a little flustered being surrounded by so many demons.
The star trails around Jiang Han were connected in an instant. As the connection was completed, the temperature in the entire corridor dropped instantly, and ice crystals even began to condense on the walls.
"Ice Crane, Ice Vines, Freeze!!!"
The scaly female demons who were about to pounce on Jiang Han and his group were frozen in place, unable to break free no matter how much they struggled.
"Wow, awesome! No wonder she's a boss-level figure in the freshman competition." Zhao Manyan said, looking at the banshee frozen in place.
