Chapter 392
Huang Feng.
At thirty-nine years old, with gray streaks in his hair, he appeared to be just an ordinary middle-aged man with a plain face.
He is a Night Watcher of the Demon Hunt General Agency, having served for fifteen years, completing numerous missions, both big and small.
Even among the numerous Night Watchers in the Demon Hunt General Agency, he stands out with his "awakening level" abilities, making him a higher-ranking Night Watcher.
In the eyes of most of his colleagues, Huang Feng was an excellent member of the Demon Hunt General Agency, someone worthy of trust.
However, Kaluoer from Hidden Azure knew that the man in front of her had actually been replaced.
He had long ceased to be the Night Watcher he once was.
Kaluoer walked calmly in the dimension of nothingness, silently gazing at "Huang Feng" in the material world of reality.
"Huang Feng" was on his way home, completely unaware of being followed.
The dimension of nothingness, is a unique spatial dimension where Kaluoer can instantly arrive after being granted the mystical power "vanishing into the void" by the Savior.Except for Kaluoer herself, there was no one in the dimension of nothingness. However, all the buildings and objects in this dimension were exactly the same as those in the real world.
In the distance, the dimension of nothingness always seemed to be surrounded by a white mist, which was the biggest difference from the real world.
She could observe everything happening in the real world within the dimension of nothingness.
However, as soon as Kaluoer attempted to intervene, she would be bounced out of the dimension of nothingness.
But even so, this "perfect invisibility" ability was still very suitable for Kaluoer's powerful abilities.
The Savior of Babel Tower, Bai Yan, received Mu Ling's idea and quickly agreed to collaborate with the representative of the Leaf King, Advisor Ringi.
After collaborating, the task that Babel Tower had to do was to investigate the night watchers who had been replaced during the past few days and, within three days, find the mastermind behind it all and the truth.
Time was running out, they only had three days!
The Leaf King's advisor, Ringi, had made a promise. If Babel Tower could complete this task, then the warrant for Babel Tower would be lifted.
"At the same time, we will also tell you, which member of the 'Rainbow' has been targeting the Babel Tower all along."
It was very important for the members of Babel Tower to have the warrant lifted, as not everyone wanted to constantly hide and seek.
Whether it's Mu Ling, Alan, or Maryse, none of them really want to be enemies with the official Air Alliance, especially Alan.
And knowing about the enemies behind the scenes was extremely important for Bai Yan.
Although, deep down he probably had an idea.
But knowing the exact answer was still very necessary.
--
Kaluoer stood silently in the room, watching the life of Huang Feng and his wife.
They seemed to be deeply in love.
As soon as Huang Feng's wife saw him open the door and come in, she immediately smiled and embraced him, and they kissed for a long time.
"You finally came back, that's great... Actually, I've been worried all along, afraid that one day you won't come back."
A smile appeared on Huang Feng's face.
"How could it be? You have been saying these words for over ten years, and each time you have come home. It's just that I always have to work overtime, causing you to worry. I'm truly sorry."
"It's good that you're back... Before, I used to think of asking you to quit this dangerous job, but later I also realized that I was being too selfish."
Kaluoer silently gazed at everything.
"Huang Feng" was not the real Huang Feng, but rather a replaced entity.
As for what exactly replaced the real Huang Feng, even the Demon Hunt General Agency wasn't quite sure.
Perhaps it was the enchantment of prophecy that had already been set up in the White Tower that made the Demon Hunt General Agency realize that the Night Watcher was no longer the same person.
Kaluoer pondered.
She continued to observe their every move, watching them have dinner. Hmm, the behavior of this "Huang Feng" before her was exactly identical to the Huang Feng she had read about in the records. The Demon Hunt General Agency had shared the daily information of the three replacements with the Babel Tower.
So the thing before her, although it appeared to be a Night Watcher named Huang Feng, and every move it made was indistinguishable from Huang Feng, in reality, it was not Huang Feng?
Kaluoer felt puzzled.
However... it doesn't matter.
The task she received was simply to uncover the truth about Huang Feng.
So, they decided to continue keeping watch here.
Actually, this task was not Kaluoer's strong suit.
Because, she was not accustomed to being an investigator.
Although Kaluoer had the perfect abilities for investigation, she had never actually carried out any investigation tasks before. There was only one thing she had been doing... killing people.
The Mercury Ball was not a gathering of intelligence agents, but rather a group of assassins.
Although there were indeed people responsible for gathering information, the "Hidden Azure" truly existed for the purpose of slaughter.
So, Kaluoer didn't know how to investigate the truth, and could only silently observe Huang Feng's every move.
"..."
For some unknown reason, Kaluoer felt a hint of anger deep within her heart.
The closer she saw their relationship, the more uncomfortable Kaluoer felt... because deep down, she knew that the real Huang Feng was likely already gone.
That woman loved him dearly, unaware that he had already passed away, and instead, she was being manipulated by something that was most likely the culprit.
All the interactions and affection between the two at night were nothing but the reality named "tragedy."
"..."
Kaluoer felt confused, tilting her head slightly. Was she really getting angry because of this?
Her emotions were gradually awakening, and deep down, Kaluoer actually understood this.
But she was still very surprised that she could get angry because of other people's matters.
"I'm becoming less like myself," she murmured to herself.
After witnessing the love between a couple for one night, Kaluoer silently squatted in the dimension of nothingness. She pondered for a moment and then took out a small pendant from her pocket.
That was a silver pendant, not a relic, but rather a pricey piece of craftsmanship.
It looked exceptionally exquisite, with a gem at the center of the pendant emitting a gentle, shimmering blue light.
This was something that Mr. Edmond had given to himself.
Kaluoer still remembered its origin. Back then, she had lingered outside a luxurious shop for a while, and Mr. Edmond went and bought this thing.
She even took the initiative to put it on herself.
At that moment, the people in the shop looked at her with eyes full of envy.
Then, in the Tulip Manor, all the maids except for Dai, suddenly started to respect her.
They said that the value of this thing was exaggerated, enough to buy one-fifth of the Tulip Manor. If the master gave her such a thing, it must be an engagement token!
"So from now on, you will be the owner of Tulip Manor. Even though we have a good relationship with you, we are still just servants..."
"Really?"
At that time, Kaluoer didn't believe it, so she went to ask Dai.
As a result, she also said that this was an expensive treasure that had been reported in the newspapers. If the master had no intentions towards her, it would be impossible for him to buy such a valuable thing and bring it for her.
"..."
Kaluoer pondered, was Mr. Edmond implying that she should repay him with her body?
In reality, Bai Yan hadn't thought about it that much at all.
Ever since he had the "Cybertyrant," he had so much money that he couldn't even spend it all. Gradually, he lost his grasp on the true meaning of money.
So, whether it was something worth ten dollars or something worth one hundred thousand, it was all the same to Bai Yan.
He finally noticed something Kaluoer liked, so why not buy it and give it to her?
After all, this was one of the few things that Kaluoer had been interested in for many years, so it still held some significance.
Kaluoer gently touched the silver pendant in her hand, recalling the time she had spent with the master. It made her feel that the task of surveillance wasn't so boring anymore.
"Oh... the task is not to monitor, but to investigate, right..."
She paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered the correct task at hand and shook her head.
What should she do? How should she investigate?
She had never done something like this before.
Um.
"How about we just directly kill this fake 'Huang Feng'…"
Her hand lifted, and a knife emerged from the palm of her hand.
Kaluoer thought of the simplest and most direct method, the one that was easiest and most familiar to her.
"No," she said firmly.
This kind of thing simply wouldn't work. The mission given by the Savior would fail, and Kaluoer felt a bit discouraged.
She had joined the Babel Tower initially because she had lost the Mercury Ball, feeling uneasy and unsure of what to do.
She felt utterly bewildered by the concept of "freedom."
Just like a dog raised in a small home, it suddenly returned to the wild.
In the beginning, Kaluoer thought that all she had to do in the Babel Tower was simply to kill people and water flowers.
"I never expected to have such a challenging task..."
Kaluoer couldn't think of what to do, so she had to use the most foolish method.
She started investigating the items in the void dimension, hoping to find something special in the room.
However, if Kaluoer wanted to search through every nook and cranny, she had to leave the void dimension and venture into the tangible world of reality.
After a fruitless search, Kaluoer hesitated for a moment and decided to escape from the void dimension.
Arrived in the real world, Tatsumi City.
The sensations around them immediately became real.
After entering Huang Feng's room in the material dimension, Kaluoer's body became extremely agile and started to move silently. She carefully began searching the room.
At that moment, the weary man and woman were sound asleep in the room, completely unaware of Kaluoer's situation.
With no clues to be found, Kaluoer was on the verge of disappointment. However, right at the end, she suddenly discovered something extraordinary.
The so-called extraordinary thing was located in the bathroom.
On the ground, there was some black liquid.
It was just a small amount, only a few drops, but it caught Kaluoer's attention.
"Hmm?"
Kaluoer crouched down, feeling curious about this black liquid. She extended her hand with caution, her fingers reaching out to touch it gently.
Just then, the black liquid began to wriggle!
Kaluoer's heart suddenly rang alarm bells!
She immediately turned around and discovered that Huang Feng was actually standing not far behind her!
He had a blank expression, and his gaze didn't seem human.
Huang Feng stared intently at the unfamiliar person in front of him.
Without hesitation, Kaluoer activated "Vanish into Nothingness" and disappeared instantly.
"Who are you? Why did you enter my house?"
The fake Huang Feng noticed that the target had vanished, and suddenly resumed the real Huang Feng's expression. He shouted nervously.
Kaluoer quickly noticed that the woman in the room seemed to be waking up.
In the dimension of nothingness, she hesitated for a moment, but then decided to enter the material world from the room. Afterwards, she sprinkled some powdered medicine, allowing her to continue sleeping for a few more hours.
The sleep powder is a tool used for assassination. Even those with extraordinary abilities can be rendered unconscious by it, and once an ordinary person is affected, they will never wake up.
"What are you doing!"
The faux "Huang Feng" saw this scene from outside the room and angrily rushed in.
He seemed as if he genuinely cared for his wife, his actions filled with anger, as he unleashed a move from the heart-pounding Nine Styles.
Flow of Heart - Vajra.
So strong!
His arm instantly became as hard and heavy as steel, fiercely smashing towards Kaluoer's head.
If it landed solidly, even if Kaluoer had an extraordinary physique, she would still feel dizzy for a while.
This anger made Kaluoer hesitate for a moment.
Is the "Huang Feng" in front of him truly just a replaced presence, and not the real Huang Feng?
Wouldn't the Demon Hunt General Agency of the Air Alliance investigate it wrongly?
If he killed the wrong person, Huang Feng's wife would forever lose the person she loved.
The hesitation lasted only for a moment.
"Hidden Azure" had long become a killing machine, never letting its guard down in the face of enemies, and showing no mercy should not be expected.
Without hesitation, she regained her icy demeanor and swiftly raised one hand to block, unleashing her innate powers at the same time.
Vanished without a trace.
In the next instant, Huang Feng was astounded to find that his Flow of the Heart had ceased to function. His once steel-like arm had completely transformed back into a regular flesh and blood limb.
"What happened?"
He was utterly astonished.
At the same time, Kaluoer's blade had already struck Huang Feng's face.
The face of the wolf-eared girl showed only indifference.
"Mmm... This kind of investigation method suits me better."
Suddenly.
Huang Feng's face cracked open.
Kaluoer was momentarily taken aback, instinctively stepping back. Then, she saw something inside Huang Feng's body.
It was a dark, slimy substance.
Merely gazing at it would fill Kaluoer with a deep sense of "fear" from the depths of her heart... It was very strange because she hadn't experienced "fear" for many years.
Was it the effect of its extraordinary power that made one feel afraid?
Kaluoer pondered these thoughts in her heart.
"Huang Feng" stood still in place for a few seconds. Inside this body of black slime, it squirmed and suddenly let out an extremely unsettling scream!
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The enormous noise echoed through the entire street!
"Whimper."
Kaluoer couldn't help but cover her wolf ears, feeling her mind becoming hazy and filled with pain.
Then, the dark slime discarded Huang Feng's body, wriggling and crawling out from within, swiftly burrowing into the gaps of the floor.
And so, it disappeared without a trace.
Huang Feng's body tumbled to the ground and lay there motionless.
Kaluoer gazed at the fallen Huang Feng on the ground, remaining silent for a moment.
She suddenly realized that it was not just about "replacing," in fact, this body was actually the real Huang Feng, but with entirely different insides.
This was what they called "possession."
