598 Robber (1/2)
”Voodoo Corpses… They were rumored to be blood descendent demons born from the corpses of Evil Demons. They have low intelligence and act like wild beasts; they're also active at night and have powerful recovery abilities such that they would plunder the blood and meat of other living beings to supplement their own body. A fully matured Voodoo Corpse is essentially a mountain of meat!”
Fang Yuan silently recalled the message in the Night Family Clan Illustrations, ”The Voodoo Corpse in the Bay of Pigs is clearly much more cunning! It only hunts a few people every day. In this crowded and packed dock, it was as if nothing unusual had happened…”
After all, the Voodoo Corpse had low intelligence and, hence, was considered pretty decent to be able to have such awareness whilst hunting. However, it would of course not know how to differentiate between a resident and a foreigner.
Due to this, the local workers gradually found out that their buddies were decreasing as time went by. After a few investigations, they finally discovered traces of the Voodoo Corpse.
It's a pity that, to them, finding a trace of the Night Family Clan meant that it was the start of a disaster.
”In the Bay of Pigs, where are some of the places that a Voodoo Corpse can hide?”
Fang Yuan silently strolled through the market, his gaze focused on many places with dark shadows. ”Old houses, storehouses, and underground cellars… all of these are possible.”
It was hard to imagine that there was actually such a monster in this flourishing dock.
At this moment, was it hiding in a shadow somewhere greedily focusing on the food in its hunting ground?
Fang Yuan suddenly jerked up.
”In actual fact, based on the manpower and preparation that Flock had brought over, a mere Voodoo Corpse can be defeated… The only thing I'm scared of is a sudden situation…
”It's such a pity… that Flock didn't listen to my suggestion to capture Black Jack and the others for interrogation. Otherwise, it would've been easier as we could at least have some evidence.”
Fang Yuan also understood Flock's caution. Although the black market businessmen might have the roles of a mouse and vulture, this group of people was not to be underestimated.
As people from the dark side amongst ordinary people, they even had connections with many of the Demon Hunter branches in order to provide them with large amounts of resources.
Being in a high position, they would need to know how to handle things in a clean way.
For example, if any clues were to be discovered during this operation, Flock would be able to get rid of all the black market profiteers in the Hurin area when he was back.
”Unfortunately… it would be too late when that time arrives.” Fang Yuan shook his head. ”If I can operate on own my own, I would like to go back and drag Black Jack out before doing anything else…”
Through his methods, it would be a very simple task to force the truth out of the other party.
”Hmm?” At this moment, he felt a weak, malicious intent crash into him from behind.
”Sorry!”
A young girl hugging a paper bag tripped and bumped into Fang Yuan, her crimson red hair, flew in the wind, the soapy fragrance that was trapped in it dispersed into the air.
She blushed and seemed to not know what to do and bowed slightly before squeezing back into the crowd.
”So a person like me actually has some luck in love as well?” Fang Yuan smiled slightly and silently turned into a corner.
…
”Haha… that foreigner looked like a good target from a glance. He was actually strolling around in the market, I would be sorry if I didn't steal from him!”
The young girl with crimson red hair ran around a corner and got rid of her act, she jumped high into the air, twirling the wallet in her hand. ”I'll have money for food tomorrow.”
She unzipped the wallet excitedly and was quickly dumbfounded. ”So much?! Something's wrong!”
As a robber that had wandered in the Bay of Pigs from a very young age, her first thoughts of seeing a thick stack of money wasn't that she was rich, but that there was huge danger!
”The clothing of that pretty-faced boy didn't seem luxurious, how is it possible that he has so much money? Unless he's from a wealthy family somewhere? No! There will be several servants around a wealthy master when he's out for a trip, that means…”
”There's also the possibility that I'm very powerful!” Fang Yuan jumped down from the wall. ”You little mouse… where are you thinking of running to?”
”I… I found this wallet on the streets and was just thinking of returning it to you!” The female robber smiled awkwardly and her cheeks flushed instantly. Even her large, twinkling eyes were filled with tears. ”Mister… you must believe me!”
”You're very smart for not trying to escape!” Fang Yuan walked forward without hurrying and took back his wallet. ”Do you know why I let you off intentionally until you arrived here?”
The female robber gulped, looked at the isolated alley and listened to the noises that seemed to be very far away. Her voice became uneven, ”Because… there is no… no one here!”
”Bingo! That's correct!” Fang Yuan checked the female robber out; she had fair skin, purple eyes, and an exquisite face. Even if it was covered, he could also tell that she was reasonably pretty.
”Just now… If I had exposed you on the main straight, would you have done that? Don't lie to me!” Fang Yuan asked coldly, a light emitting from his eyes.
”I would…” The female robber looked down. ”I would've torn my own skirt and shouted for help!”
”That really is a good idea!” Fang Yuan nodded his head. ”Second question, what's your name?”
”Almon, I'm Almon, my lord!”
The female robber became as obedient as a kitten, this was also her survival philosophy—she would become obedient once she met an undefeatable power.
”Very good, I like an honest kid!”
Fang Yuan was astonished, this female robber had actually spoken the truth twice. It was unbelievable.
After all, there were many robbers who would only confess over their dead bodies after stealing their prize.
Unless… she felt that something was amiss!
