Chapter 46 Falling into Demonic Ways
I need to find Xueqing as soon as possible!
I don’t want to end up regretting not making it in time.
So, I’ll go back to Black Street first. I can’t find Xuan’er by myself. I need help.
I don’t have permission to enter Black Street right now. Therefore, I need to go to the park first. If I’m not mistaken, there will be a ‘gatekeeper’ there.
When I got close to Beishan Park, it was sparsely populated in the afternoon. Most people still in the park at this time would be gatekeepers. I didn’t have time to waste.
“Give me permission to enter and exit Black Street.”
The third elder, who looked like he was walking birds, reacted to my words. He walked over uncontrollably and placed his hand on my back. It seemed he was one of the ‘extras’ responsible for guarding this area.
With permission, I could enter Black Street from any entrance in the city. I entered Black Street directly and then immediately rushed to Qing’s Home.
Qing’s home never locks their doors, so I pushed the door open and shouted.
“Xueqing! Are you there!”
There was no response. It was likely that Xueqing was already surrounded.
Why didn’t I notice it sooner? I should have paid attention when I saw Xueqing wasn’t at school this morning.
My mood grew increasingly agitated. I searched everywhere in Xueqing’s house but found no clues. I don’t know where Xueqing went.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that there should be other people in this house.
“Hey! Black-clad people! I know you’re there! Tell me where Xueqing is!”
There was no response.
These guys never appeared in front of people, but at this point, they couldn’t remain silent.
“Get out here.”
I was a little angry, injecting more Destiny Power, which made the compulsion stronger.
A total of four beautiful young ladies dressed in women’s suits appeared from various strange places, making me inwardly sigh about how soft a woman’s body is. Oh, right, I don’t know if it was because I used too much Destiny Power, but they really ‘rolled’ out. It seems I need to be careful with my wording in the future, otherwise, it would be a bit too perverse.
No, what am I rambling about? I need to hurry and ask about Xueqing’s whereabouts.
“Do any of you know where Xueqing went?”
The young lady at the front didn’t even dare to raise her head. She lowered her head in a seated position and said in a trembling voice.
“I, I don’t really know. Our mission is just to take care of Xueqing’s daily life and provide her with necessary supplies. We do not interfere with her personal actions.”
I squatted down, using my index finger to lift her chin, forcing her to look up at me, and continued to ask.
“Is that so? If you’re just trying to brush me off, do you know what will happen? Hm?”
The young lady looked desperate, tears welling up in her eyes, her lips and voice trembling.
“Re-really, I-I don’t know.”
Alright, you can move now.
There was no useful information.
This cry pulled me back to reality. I saw the four young ladies shivering and hugging each other. Warm liquid spread across the floor.
I was a bit puzzled. Was I really that scary just now?
Never mind. Since there’s no information here, let’s hurry back to Class 6.
Leaving behind the words ‘clean this up yourself,’ I left Xueqing’s house and ran towards the Investigation Department’s Class 6 building.
I took the elevator directly to the usual activity hall and shouted as I entered.
“Miss Akiko! Miss Akiko, are you there!”
After waiting for a while, Miss Akiko, who liked to wear a white nightgown and scare people, didn’t appear through the wall.
Others were also absent. Eddie, Phil, and Ai-chan were not here. It was normal for them to be in school at this time.
Damn it, just at this time.
Where else can I get information? Other departments?
But I don’t even know where the other departments in the Investigation Department are, and it’s not certain if they would have information about Xueqing.
Things were going so unfavorably.
I clenched my chest. The anger surging from within almost burned my brain, making me lose my reason.
On the verge of going mad, my strong reason advised me to calm down. Anger wouldn’t solve anything; it would just be a waste of time.
I suddenly realized that my current state was very wrong. I wasn’t normally so easily angered. Being able to calm down at any time was the key to my ability to solve problems.
But why am I becoming so emotional now?
Yang Shifan… would he be effective on me too?
At this critical juncture…
“Stop messing around!”
However, the swelling feeling subsided slightly. As expected, physical impact could control emotions.
Hoo, don’t rush. Since there’s no information here either, I’ll head to…
My vision suddenly darkened. I thought the lights in the activity room had been turned off, but the lights on the ceiling were still on.
Could this be?
I immediately sat up. Turning my head, I saw a chubby figure wearing a round hat, a shadow. It was this abrupt shadow that had blocked my face just now.
“Mr. Shadow!”
That’s right, Mr. Shadow is also good at gathering information!
I heard that he infiltrated many places that were difficult to access and obtained important information.
Now, any clue is a lifesaver. I excitedly knelt on the ground and said to Mr. Shadow.
“Mr. Shadow! Do you know Xueqing? Jiang Xueqing, the grey-haired, short girl who looks like a doll, a cute girl. She’s an external employee of the organization. I’m looking for her!”
Mr. Shadow made a thoughtful gesture, then nodded and gave me a thumbs-up.
He knows! He knows!
“Great! Can you take me there?”
The shadow on his arm changed into the words ‘follow me’.
Excellent!
Heaven helps me!
“No time to delay, let’s go!”
I hurriedly got up and saw Mr. Shadow conjure two new words: ‘wait’ and ‘light’.
Wait, light?
Do I need light?
Oh, there’s no sun in Black Street; it’s always overcast, so the shadows can’t move.
This means I need to carry a mobile light source.
I turned on my phone’s flashlight and walked out of the activity room. I saw Mr. Shadow move within the light range and then give an ‘ok’ gesture.
Everything is fine now!
With Mr. Shadow guiding me, after exiting from an entrance of Black Street, I walked through a series of secluded alleyways and finally arrived at the destination.
Mr. Shadow moved under my feet, continuing to move towards the corner of the alley within the range of the flashlight.
I had a very bad feeling. The laughter coming from ahead seemed to be telling me not to proceed further.

But I still stepped forward, my pace quickening, my mind blank, rushing forward.
Finally, I emerged from the alley into a spacious open area. In the center of the open area was a high-end apartment, and the main door was wide open.
Before I even entered, I saw…
Xueqing was there.
Her body was already stained red, covered in injuries, lying powerlessly on the ground.
The ghosts around her were jeering, mocking, laughing maniacally.
I continued to walk forward, no longer able to clearly articulate my feelings. Extreme anger turning into laughter? No, I couldn’t even laugh. I just felt my face and expression freeze, and my brain felt like it was expanding.
When I walked into the hall, some ghosts had already noticed me. They said something I couldn’t hear or understand, probably along the lines of ‘How could a human appear here.’
In any case, these guys definitely wouldn’t want anyone to interrupt their feast, so they came to eliminate me, the human who suddenly intruded.
I didn’t speak, I didn’t even want to speak.
A split second before the ugly ghost’s fingernail touched me, it spoke in a language I could understand.
“I deserve to die.”
Scum should act like scum. No, you don’t even deserve to be called scum.
The ghosts were horrified and let out piercing screams that tore through the silence, then all attacked me at once.
I remained silent, my eyes only seeing Xueqing. Nothing else mattered.
“To hell with them.”
By the time I reached Xueqing, no ghost dared to approach me, and no ghost dared to laugh anymore, because any ghost that did so was dead.
I picked up Xueqing and felt her heartbeat. Although it was weak, it was still beating.
She was alive.
Thank goodness.
I made it in time.
If I had been any later, perhaps the thing I most wanted to avoid would have happened. At that time, I wouldn’t even know what I would do.
I need to get Xueqing to the hospital quickly. I have to go back.
I turned to leave, but someone called out to me.
“Wait, young man.”
Ah?
As I turned around, many ghosts let out screams, unable to even meet my gaze, kneeling on the ground trembling.
But there were still some with a bit of backbone. The one who called out to me was a well-dressed elder, wearing a black haori and looking quite dignified.
“Are you so angry because of what happened to her? But do you know how many of our people she has killed, how many of our compatriots she has forced to their deaths? It wasn’t us who attacked her first; she squeezed out our living space.”
“What does your reasoning have to do with me? I only know that you hurt my friend, and now I am very angry, so angry that I want to crush you all.”
“How self-centered. But this is also self-affirmation. If you want to live, nothing is more important than this.”
“Ten seconds are up. Die.”
“Heh… Fallen into demonic ways, huh.”
Leaving only these words, I returned to dust and soil, no longer existing.
At this point, no ghost dared to stop me. I left that place of trouble carrying Xueqing.
On the way back, I suddenly remembered what Zihua had said to me and Zi’ai long ago.
At the time, I thought her viewpoint was too biased, but now I suddenly felt that perhaps she was right.
If I can’t even protect the people I care about, what’s the point of anything else?
Ah, I should have done this long ago.
What does the life and death of others have to do with me?
Those who harm them and interfere with my home…
Just eliminate them all.
It’s a simple principle.
