No answer came from the darkness.
Miao Miao carefully picked up the kerosene lamp and lit it.
Dim light slowly filled the room.
The moment she saw the situation in the room, Miao Miao couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
This was because there was a pile of Rini notes and crystals of various colors scattered on the floor.
The crystals shimmered with color in the dim light, glowing invitingly.
Furthermore, the tall monster she'd seen earlier in the day stood before the pile of crystals.
She stared at the monster in mild surprise, wondering why it had appeared and the floor was filled with crystals and Rini.
Meanwhile, at that moment, in her head, she heard a hoarse female voice speak with difficulty.
"Master… commanded… protect… safety."
"Completely… remove… threats."
The girl was confused.
In the distance, at the "shopping street" of the slums.
In the closed sundry shop.
In the dim light, the owner of the sundry shop lay in a pool of blood.
His entire body was broken into two from his mouth, and his limbs were also cut off. He stared ahead with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something that terrified him…
At night, Fang Ze dragged his tired body back to the temporary residence.
Because of Han Kaiwei's sudden death, both the task force and the Security Bureau were on high alert.
Among them, Fang Ze, who was the most important suspect, was definitely the focus of attention.
The Security Bureau didn't say anything. After Bai Zhi subtly probed and conveyed some information to Fang Ze, she let him leave.
On the other hand, the other "colleagues" in the task force did not know the truth of the matter. They only knew that Han Kaiwei was dead, and that Fang Ze was the criminal who had publicly "cut Han Kaiwei's throat".
Therefore, on this day, Fang Ze himself didn't know how many pairs of eyes were watching him or looking at him warily.
This also made him tense up, afraid that he would accidentally expose something at the critical moment when he was about to Awaken his ability…
Just like that, he finally managed to get a breather after fooling around for a day.
He felt that he really couldn't stay in this task force anymore. If he stayed any longer, even if he wasn't silenced, he would probably be crushed by the discussions of his colleagues.
Therefore, he really wanted to see Miao Miao now. He wanted her to give him a surprise and buy the last ingredient for the Spiritual Awakening Technique, the blue crystal.
After washing up, Fang Ze didn't care that Wang Hao was secretly observing him. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When Fang Ze opened his eyes again, he was in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
Just like the previous times, the room was still as Fang Ze had left it.
The two sets of tables and chairs in the middle of the room were leaned against the left wall. Meanwhile, the steel door with the word "One" on it and the Awakening materials that Fang Ze had placed on the table last night were all intact.
After checking the Awakening materials and confirming that there were no problems, Fang Ze opened the summoning list.
Unlike yesterday, Miao Miao was "online" very early today.
Fang Ze relaxed a little. This should prove that everything went smoothly, right?
He didn't know if it had gone smoothly without any accidents, or if there had been an accident and the shadow warrior had taken care of it.
As he thought this, Fang Ze adjusted the environment of the room and began his "investigation" tonight.
When she woke up from her sleep, Miao Miao realized that she was indeed in "Mr. Devil's" territory again.
She looked up at "Mr. Devil".
Mr. Devil was still shrouded in a faint mist. He was high on his dark throne, hand on the armrest as he looked down at her.
For some reason, although Mr. Devil looked no different from before, Miao Miao could feel that he seemed to be very tired.
In the past, Miao Miao only had fear for Mr. Devil. However, after today's life-saving grace, she had a much better impression of and respect for Mr. Devil.
Therefore, she, who had always been dutiful, bowed and greeted him. Then, she asked in her soft and weak voice, "Mr. Devil, why do you seem a little tired?"
"Mr. Devil" was clearly taken aback for a moment by her question.
A moment later, he was high on his throne, looking down at the girl kneeling before him. He said in his hoarse, deep voice, "Yes. A demon was killed today. I was suspected because I'm the strongest."
Miao Miao knelt on the ground and said weakly but firmly, "Mr. Devil is so kind. Mr. Devil can't be the murderer."
Fang Ze, also known as "Mr. Devil", was confused.
