After leaving, Li Xianyu looked around the door. There was a long corridor outside the door. The pattern of the whole apartment was similar to a school building. Behind it was a suite. Standing in the corridor, one could see the distant scenery.

This kind of apartment was very common in Japan, but in China, especially in this underdeveloped city, this kind of apartment was relatively new.

At the end of the corridor was the elevator. Li Xianyu stood at the elevator entrance and looked up at the camera on top of him. The camera could see the whole corridor clearly, but not the doors of every household.

“What did you find?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady asked.

“Nothing much. I thought it was a big case. Let’s deal with the next task. That case must have something to do with the Great Demons’ Alliance,” Cui Hua muttered lazily.

She referred to the case where a demon descendant killed an ordinary person. At present, there was no reason for killing without motive, but Li Xianyu took up a suspected sexual assault case after a long time.

“It’s the most troublesome task to deal with indiscriminate killing cases because there are too few clues. Eighty percent of the murders are due to passion. We don’t have to waste our time on such cases,” Li Xianyu said.

Cui Hua refused to accept his words. “Then tell me what you see in this case.”

Li Xianyu said with a smile, “We’re very lucky. If my guess is correct, this case was committed by demon descendants who have just awakened. Given the current situation in Central China, it is likely to be related to the Great Demons’ Alliance.”

The several women squinted, which meant: “Please start your performance.”

“Ms. Zhang has been violated time after time. The police can’t find the suspect. You’ve heard what she said just now. I believe it’s a demon descendant who did it.”

His harem party nodded.

“So the question is, why do demon descendants lack women? They are the superheroes of the human society, no matter human or foreign. As long as they want to have a rich and abundant material life, they can achieve it.”

“Women, in particular. Foreign species are generally unethical and open-minded. I’m not talking about you, Cui Hua. So, there’s no need to attack ordinary women. Presumably, the guy just awakened.”

“As for why he targeted Ms. Zhang, I have some ideas in my mind.”

“You mean the newly awakened demon descendant who is right beside her... the poodle?” She thought of the dog who humped everything.

“No, that dog didn’t awaken,” Great-Grandma shook her head. “You just touched it. If it’s a foreign species that has awakened, you can feel it through its muscles and bones.”

“Well, I also find it weird,” said Li Xianyu. “Let’s just wait for tonight.”

“It’ll strike tonight?” Cui Hua frowned.

“Yes, according to Ms. Zhang’s rule, it will strike again in one or two days.” Li Xianyu was very sure.

One day.

Two days.

Three days later...

At 7:30 P.M, Zhang Lu came home from work. The company was not far from her place. She usually got home before 7:00 P.M., but today, she went to Changwan police station specially.

Three days had passed. According to the promise of the handsome police officer, her case would come to an end in three days. However, when she arrived at the police station and asked about the situation, she was stunned by the police’s reply. The police station did not send any personnel to investigate her case at all.

After mentioning the employee number, the police said no such employee existed. Zhang Lu was shocked by the result. Those people were not policemen. Why did they pretend to be policemen? What was the purpose? Combined with her recent strange events, she almost cried out in fear.

She should have doubted. How could a small police station have such a hot and beautiful policewoman? There were still several, which was not reasonable at all.

All night, she was in a panic because of this. She sat in the living room with her baby son in her arms, dazed, and couldn’t watch her favorite TV series at all.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, she began to feel sleepy. Recently, she was tired physically and mentally, coupled with the fact that she was afraid for a whole night. She didn’t dare to turn off all the lights. She left a desk lamp on, curled up in the quilt, and fell asleep with a heavy heartbeat.

She didn’t know how long she had been in a daze. Suddenly, she heard the clear sound of the door opening from the living room.

Here he comes... Zhang Lu’s subconscious mind trembled violently and tried to wake up, but at this time she was like a ghost pressed to the bed. She was conscious but couldn’t open her eyes, which was what she had encountered last time.

Light footsteps sounded, and then, a slight sink beside the bed — something climbed onto the bed.

In the dark corridor, Li Xianyu smoked and leaned against the wall. His great-grandmother sat on the steps and played with her mobile phone. In the corridor, there were only the two of them.

At eleven o’clock, Cui Hua and Thunderbolt Battle Lady jumped in from the window at the entrance of the corridor. The former frowned tightly and said with dissatisfaction, “There are no abnormalities nearby. It seems that we have waited in vain.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady shook her head slightly at Li Xianyu.

These days, they would guard her estate at night. With the strength of Li Xianyu and his harem, they would not need to be scared of alerting the culprit. Normal demon descendants were not able to detect them.

After three calm days where Zhang Lu was not violated, reality hit Li Xianyu’s face hard.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady said, “Let’s go back.”

Great-Grandma turned off the screen of her mobile phone. “It has appeared.”

“What?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady was stunned.

Cui Hua took a sniff and said, “I smell something different. It’s strange. When I was patrolling around, I didn’t notice anything unusual.”

Li Xianyu spit out a mouthful of blue smoke confidently. “Because that guy is in Ms. Zhang’s house.”

When they walked out of the corridor, Thunderbolt Battle Lady flicked her finger upwards, causing the camera to spark and malfunction. At the door of Ms. Zhang’s house, the anti-theft door was closed. Li Xianyu’s fingers were on the lock as he used his qi as the key, and the anti-theft door was opened with a click.

This kind of common anti-theft door was nothing to the master of qi training. Eighty percent of the world’s doors could not deter demon descendants. Only the National Treasury could keep demon descendants away.

At the moment when the lock popped open, the four people rushed into the room at the fastest speed, without giving any chance to the foreign species in the room to react.

In the bedroom, the desk lamp emitted soft orange light.

The young woman in the nightdress lay unconscious on the bed. A short man was kneeling beside the bed, staring at Zhang Lu’s face. He had a young, round face and looked kind of cute. There was a burning desire in his eyes. However, at this time, it seemed that he had been startled by the four people who rushed in suddenly, and the fanaticism in his eyes turned to the panic of being caught doing something bad on the spot.

Li Xianyu glanced at the empty kennel, looked at the young man and hissed, “It’s really you, little brother.”

Great-Grandma frowned and interjected, “Unbearable.”

The poodle’s face suddenly paled. He jumped out of bed subconsciously and leaned against the wall. He still kept the instinct of some animals. When he was in danger, he wanted to escape subconsciously.

“You... Haven’t you guys left?”

“Of course we won’t leave until you get hooked.” Li Xianyu felt for a cigarette, took out a cigarette, and lit it using the lighter. “You’re patient. I’ve been waiting for three days. As a poodle, I have to praise your will.”

Two puffs of smoke came out of his nostrils.

“You knew it was me?” The poodle stared at him.

“I guessed it, but I couldn’t confirm it. As soon as I walked into the room that day, I quietly observed you. Your demonic aura is not as strong as that of your mother. After touching you, I didn’t notice any abnormality. Instead, I found you are just an ordinary animal. You made me test you purposely, so as for me to let my guard down.”

The poodle thought in silence. He was wondering why the human had found him out. He had a high IQ, but he couldn’t understand it.

Because you’re a poodle. “You are still too young, normal demon descendants would not fancy ordinary human women. Zhang Lu is an ordinary person; it is impossible to have a relationship with a foreign species. Her experience must have been caused by someone by her side, and you interact with her everyday. You’re the prime suspect.”

“After she called the police for the first time, you noticed that there was a big flaw in your behavior, so you pretended to open the door and let her have the illusion that the invader came from the outside world. You then used her to bother the police. You even cleaned up your own tadpoles, afraid that she would test it. I’m amazed by this level of IQ.”

“I’ve seen the surveillance. The camera can only reach the corridor, not the doors of every household. So there are two kinds of situations. The perpetrator is a demon descendant with abilities like concealment and stealth; the other possibility is that the door is opened from inside.”

“The change between the two police reports is your biggest mistake. She called the police with you by her side. You must have heard the words ‘forensics’ and ‘tests’ from the police. That’s why there was the sound of the door opening after that, as well as cleaning up afterwards.”

The poodle was speechless as he gradually revealed his nature and showed his ferocity. “What’s the matter? I sleep with my wife. It’s none of your business.”

Wife? Li Xianyu laughed. “Do you have any misunderstanding about your wife? She’s your master, not your wife.”

Khaki refused to accept his words. “She broke up with three men for me, which is true love. She can’t live without me, and I can’t live without her. We’ll be together forever. She’s the one I love. I won’t let other men get closer to her. She’s mine.”

Li Xianyu was a little shocked. When people regarded dogs as their private property, they regard their masters and mistresses as their own forbidden property too?

When dogs had comparable IQs compared to humans, this kind of phenomenon seemed to be inevitable.

“I won’t hurt her. I just want to be with her. Is this your business?”

The poodle let out a deep roar, and suddenly rushed towards Li Xianyu.

Li Xianyu stepped one step forward, put his left hand around its neck, and pressed him on the ground. Thud. On his left wrist, the bracelet given by Buddha Head started to glow golden. The poodle felt like a thousand needles were piercing his heart, and his whole body was full of white smoke, as if it had been cooked.

It howled in pain, his face alternating between man and dog. It seemed like he would revert back to its original form anytime.

Seeing that he had suffered enough, Li Xianyu relaxed his hand and stepped on his chest, looking down coldly. “I’m not interested in what you do. Answer my questions, and I can spare your life.”

The poodle nodded in horror.

“How did you awaken?” Li Xianyu said.

When Khaki heard the words, he was silent.

“Answer my question.”

Li Xianyu frowned, stepped hard using the soles of his feet, and the poodle’s face turned white. He felt that his viscera was under great pressure.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!” The poodle’s eyeballs turned. “I didn’t know how I did it. I suddenly opened my mind and awakened.”
