An hour ago, Nord city.

Most of the people in the Nord branch of the Mage Association had already gotten off work.

Except for Lucas and Kai.

“Damn it, why haven’t I been able to detect that guy’s location!”

Lucas became increasingly irritable as he kept pressing the button on the radar in his hand.

Kai, who was beside him, pushed his cigarette butt into the already-full ashtray.

“We can’t continue like this. Let’s get someone to help us.”

Hearing this, the agitated Lucas seemed to have calmed down a little. He said in a low voice, “If this gets out, there’ll be consequences.”

“It’s simple. Can’t we just keep it a secret?”

Kai reached into his coat pocket, looking for his cigarette case. However, after looking at the ashtray on the table that resembled a hedgehog, he changed his mind at the last minute and took out his phone.

“Lucas, contact your brother secretly and tell him to hurry over. I’ll play with my phone for a while.”

Lucas did not say anything about Kai’s suggestion.

Although Kai always had a casual and carefree look on his face, his mission success rates so far had been 100%!

No mission was too difficult for Kai.

Other than Kai’s strength, there was another important reason—he knew how to adapt to the situation.

Rules and common sense were useless to him.

He would always follow his own judgment and had a unique way of doing things.

…

After taking out his phone, Kai instinctively took out a cigarette and lit it.

After habitually exhaling a puff of smoke, he realized that he ended up smoking another cigarette after all.

“It’s so hard to quit smoking.” Kai smiled bitterly.

Ding Dong!

A notification sound rang, attracting Kai’s attention.

This was a push message from the YouTube app.

[Charlie’s game is actually real?]

Kai read the push message with a frown.

Watching the same thing from different perspectives would often lead to different attitudes regarding the same thing.

When normal people saw the video, their first reaction was not to believe it but to be curious.

They were curious about how this video blogger would attract their attention.

The people of the occult were completely different.

They knew the truth that was hidden beneath the surface of this world.

So, when people from the occult caught sight of something related to the supernatural world, they would subconsciously pay more attention to it.

Because these things were very likely to be related to weird monsters.

Without any hesitation, Kai clicked the video.

As for Lucas, he was trying to contact his good brother who was already sleeping like a dead pig in his bed.

“Charlie, are you there…”

When the video started playing, Kai’s lazy eyes suddenly grew fierce.

“Lucas, Lucas, come look at this!”

Seeing as the phone had been ringing about seven or eight times and was still not answered, Lucas ended the call and walked toward Kai unhappily.

“F*ck, my brother’s sleeping like a dead pig again! What did you want me to see?”

Kai did not care about Lucas’s complaints. He handed the phone over.

Seeing Kai’s unusual serious expression, Lucas was slightly stunned. Then, he took the phone with a serious expression and looked at it.

Soon, his expression became even more serious.

“This… In the video… Could that be the scarecrow we’re looking for?”

Kai put out his cigarette butt and revealed a determined smile.

“It might not be, but we can try.”

At the next moment, Lucas’s pupils actually dilated slightly.

He quickly pressed the pause button and handed the phone back to Kai. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

“There’s no need to try. It’s him!”

The scarecrow’s smile was frozen on the phone’s screen—cold and terrifying.
