“It’s exactly what we thought…”

Mo Fan was astounded even though he already had a feeling about it.

Lu Kun was the red demon!

Who was their client, then? Was it just a coincidence Lu Kun was chosen as the supervisor for the job?

Or perhaps the mysterious client already knew something, so they had purposely arranged for Lu Kun to be involved, too?

“Sister, I told you, it wasn’t my imagination, nor was I high on drugs. What I saw was real!” Lu Zhengxin was oddly excited about the result.

Mo Fan and Lingling looked at him in confusion. It sounded like Lu Zhengxin had not told them everything.

“Impossible, no demon creature can…” Lu Qingyao was still struggling to believe it.

“The red demon can devour a human’s soul and take over their body, but to prevent others from noticing their existence, they will carefully mimic the previous owner’s habits and behavior. The red demon is a product of the combined hatred of criminals who were sentenced to death. It’s an embodiment of human hatred!” Mo Fan explained.

It was not difficult for the red demon to disguise itself as a human. Lu Kun looked and acted the same as his old self. If the red demon could control its savage nature, it could completely take over its prey and act like an ordinary human.

It did not matter if Lu Qingyao was reluctant to believe it. The two pieces of evidence had proven Lu Kun was the red demon.

Having six fingers might only be a coincidence, but what about the blood samples? How could their blood samples match so perfectly?

“Mo Fan, do you remember Kazuaki, the old Japanese man Ken told you about? How many years has it been since he left with the Essence Orb?” Lingling asked him.

“How many years? I don’t know, Mochizuki Ken is already so old. It should have been at least thirty years ago?” Mo Fan estimated.

Mo Fan had no idea when it had happened. He would have to ask Mochizuki Chihaya or Mochizuki Ken.

Unfortunately, Mochizuki Chihaya was nowhere to be seen, the same as Mochizuki Ken.

“Lu Zhengxin, I need a favor from you,” Lingling said.

“Sure! I’ll do anything you say!” Lu Zhengxin agreed.

—

Lu Zhengxin left in a hurry, leaving Lu Qingyao behind with a blank face.

“Can you tell me what Lu Zhengxin was referring to just now? Your uncle Lu Kun indeed looks just like a normal human on the surface, but the red demon will never show its true form to the people around it, assuming it’s intelligent enough,” Lingling asked her.

If the red demon already possessed the intelligence of an adult human, it would be aware that Lu Kun’s identity was the best cover for it. It no longer had to live in the dark, nor was it being constantly hunted by Hunters like Senior Hunter Leng.

The Hunters would never allow an existence like the red demon. Every mutant species was a potential target for the Hunters!

“My grandfather is in charge of the Magic City’s safety. My uncle is managing the Prison Mountain that belongs to the Enforcement Union. One night, Lu Zhengxin made a mistake, so my grandfather sent him to the Prison Mountain to work as a prison guard for three months as punishment,” Lu Qingyao said.

“Lu Zhengxin claimed he saw uncle walking into a room on his first day. He immediately followed uncle into the room to tell him grandfather had arranged him to work at the prison, but it was another man inside the room.
