Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 112 Asking for help

Xu Ruwen picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed He Chaobo. "Why is he calling you so late? Has he changed his mind?"

Geng Miaowan hoped he would change his mind. She took the phone and pressed the call button, "Hello?"

However, no one spoke on the other end of the phone.

"Hello? He Chaobai, is that you?"

There was still no sound from the other end of the phone. Geng Miaowan looked at the phone in confusion and called out a few more times. Suddenly, a sharp, noise-like sound rang out. The sound wasn't loud, but it was very jarring.

It felt like someone was scratching glass with sharp fingernails, sending chills down her spine. Startled, Geng Miaowan screamed and threw her phone down.

"What happened?" Xu Ruwen asked.

Geng Miaowan shook her head; that voice didn't sound like something a normal person would make. Then, as if realizing something, her expression changed, and she said, "Oh no, something might have happened to He Chaobai!"

She quickly ran out of the room, woke up Peng Yuxian and Feng Xiaotian, and found the location through the signal source on the phone. The group rushed over.

The signal came from He Chaobai's villa. When Geng Miaowan and the others arrived outside the villa, they found that the usually heavily guarded villa was now completely unguarded, which made her uneasy premonition even stronger.

They found He Chaobo in a room on the second floor of the villa. He was lying face up on the bed, his clothes disheveled, his face pale, his eyes wide open, and his body convulsing as if he were enduring extreme pain. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. He held a cell phone in one hand, but the screen was black.

Feng Xiaotian was the first to rush into the room. As soon as he saw He Chaobai lying there, barely breathing and looking very dangerous, he rushed to the bedside. He reached out to try and pull He Chaobai up, but was blasted out of the room by a strange gust of air.

Geng Miaowan and the others arrived at the door one after another. She helped him up and asked, "What happened?"

Feng Xiaotian shook his head, looking completely bewildered. "I just wanted to go check on He Chaobai. But it seems like I was swept away by a gust of wind."

The group exchanged glances and then walked into the room. There, a woman in a red dress straddled him. Because her back was to the door, Geng Miaowan couldn't see what she was doing. She could only see a faint black aura emanating from her, and her long, flowing hair cascading down her back, swaying with her movements.

"who are you?"

As soon as Geng Miaowan spoke, Feng Xiaotian immediately looked around, "Who is it? Where are they?"

Peng Yuxian said with a serious expression, "There's something in the room, on He Chaobai."

Feng Xiaotian stared at He Chaobai on the bed for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the person who had just knocked him out of the door was the one he couldn't see?

"Why can't I see it?" After thinking for a moment, he realized something was wrong and asked again, "Why can you see it too?"

Shen Meiling and Zhuoran could see him, which could be understood as them being exorcists with their own special abilities. But why could Peng Yuxian see him? It turns out that apart from him, everyone else here is not an ordinary person. Even Xiaobai, that unassuming little dog, seems to have some kind of intelligence, staring at the bed without blinking.

Feng Xiaotian felt utterly devastated. He was, after all, a private investigator, yet now he was treated worse than an animal.

The woman on the bed heard the sound and slowly turned her head. It was an extremely beautiful face, one that Geng Miaowan had met once before. She looked at her and exclaimed in surprise, "Rong Man'an, how could it be you?"

However, the other person didn't speak. When she saw Geng Miaowan and the others barging in, her expression turned strange. First, she looked at them, then she grinned coldly. Her eyes slowly turned pure black, so black they seemed like just two holes.

From Geng Miaowan's angle, all you could see inside her open mouth was a dark, empty space.

Rong Man'an's mouth stretched wider and wider, reaching the limit of what a human could achieve, but she showed no sign of stopping. To the astonishment of Miao Luwan and the others, her mouth stretched straight to the base of her ears, and then cracked upwards along her ears.

Finally, to the horror of the three, the crack went straight to the back of her head, and billowing black gas spewed out from the crack. Rong Man'an's head was flipped off like a bottle cap being opened.

More and more black smoke kept pouring out of the mouth on her head.

"It's not Rong Man'an, it's that demon!" Xu Ruwen was the first to react.

It turns out that Qianmian Shang had transformed into Rong Man'an's appearance!

Of the three people who witnessed the scene, Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen were not human, so although they were surprised, they were not terrified and their expressions remained relatively calm. Xiao Bai, needless to say, had lived in the underworld for tens of thousands of years; what hadn't she seen? Fear simply didn't exist for her.

What puzzled them was that Peng Yuxian, as an ordinary human being, and one who had lost his memory, was completely immune to this situation, which was simply unbelievable.

However, the situation before them left them no time to be surprised, because the Thousand-Faced Wrath had already begun to make its move.

"You dare to interrupt my good time? Die!" it said, and its body began to transform.

Geng Miaowan and the others naturally didn't just stand by and watch. The two of them and the dog came to three different locations, forming a triangle and surrounding the demon in the center.

She said to Peng Yuxian, "After we trap the demon, you and Feng Xiaotian go to rescue He Chaobai."

Peng Yuxian nodded. Since Feng Xiaotian couldn't see Qianmian Shang, he kept a close eye on Peng Yuxian's movements.

In no time, Qianmian Shang's entire body turned into black smoke, leaving only his face lifelike. It looked like a wisp of black smoke dragging a mask, incredibly eerie.

"Is this what Shanghai looks like...?" Geng Miaowan murmured.

This was the first time she had ever seen a demon. She had only heard that demons had no physical form, but she never imagined they were like this. Looking at the billowing black smoke in the air, she suddenly remembered that Luan Hao seemed to be a demon as well, and couldn't help but ask, "Luan Hao, does your true form look like this too?"

However, Luan Hao completely ignored her question.

The demon looked around and saw that Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen were both looking at it warily, so it rushed towards the small white dog that didn't seem to be a threat.

"Xiaobai, be careful..." Geng Miaowan warned. (To be continued.)
