Free Web NovelChapter 145: Chapter 63: Independent Task_2
Upon hearing this, Ree Shil felt like this sounded a bit like the side effects of a superpower, but even more exaggerated and outrageous.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but question, "If everything is erased, why do you guys still know about this?"
"That’s why I said it was a rumor."
"At that time, the Great Demons and Exorcists present were all the world’s top, so they offered some resistance to the effect of [Forgetfulness]."
"Even so, they could only barely recount some of the circumstances."
"Who exactly that person was, what their name was, they don’t remember at all."
"The concept of [Forgetfulness] was also summed up afterwards."
"As for Flawless Galaxy, it disappeared after that battle."
"There are only some faint rumors that someone saw its traces somewhere."
"And due to the leader’s disappearance, the Golden Demon Clan has been the most chaotic in recent years, and it is rumored that they plan to elect a new leader."
"I don’t know whether this is true or when it will happen."
In the end, Exterminator Thirteen said all of that, but Ree Shil was still disappointed. fгeewebnovёl.com
After all that talk, wasn’t it the same - they could not find the Golden Great Demon either.
"Ah, look at the time."
It was not until this moment that Thirteen finally realized the time.
After talking so much about the rumors in the Demon World, he was now feeling thirsty, dry-mouthed, and starving.
"..."
Ree Shil seemed to have discovered that this guy must have three personalities.
One for fighting demons, one for gambling, and another for living a carefree life.
"Master, wait a moment, I need to bath and change clothes. Let’s go to the casino."
Well then, sure enough, he was living the carefree life, forgoing food for the sake of gambling.
While Thirteen was busy performing his pre-gamble rituals, Ree Shil went out to grab a bite.
And then the two went to the Gambling House they were at yesterday.
"Master, you must teach me well tonight, I don’t want to lose again!"
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Gambling House, Exterminator Thirteen stopped.
"I will teach you how to play cards, and you take me to eradicate demons, deal?"
Ree Shil had been waiting for so long, and the time to negotiate terms had finally arrived.
"Of course there’s no problem, you followed me last night, didn’t you?"
"You only have to stand a bit further and ensure your safety."
In order to learn gambling skills, Thirteen appeared to be quite generous.
"Alright then."
Ree Shil nodded and then asked, "When do you plan to investigate the source of the demon from last night?"
He hadn’t forgotten why he came to the Instance. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Right, when you were out eating, I received a report from the Demon Extermination Residence."
"It said there was no progress from the Magistrate’s Office."
"It seems that when it comes to this sort of thing, we exorcists have to take action."
Thirteen shrugged.
"So you’re still gambling?"
Ree Shil raised an eyebrow.
"Haha, isn’t it not yet the appropriate time?"
"We are idling anyway, might as well have some fun to kill time."
Thirteen laughed sheepishly.
"Alright, but I want to inform you in advance."
"If you want to learn playing cards from me, I have my taboos."
"You can only look, but not ask. What you learn will depend on your fate."
Ree Shil stated.
What a joke, he didn’t really have much skill to teach when it came to playing Mahjong.
Could he really tell the other party that he had a perspective cheating device?
The most he might teach would likely be how to bluff at the card table.
"Yes, Master!"
The more Ree Shil acted like this, the more entranced Thirteen was.
Because it seemed very mysterious!
And so they once again stepped into the Gambling House.
The rest of the process is skipped over. It was around midnight when they came out.
The expression on Thirteen’s face was the same as last night, full of smiles.
He did not join the table tonight but still had an excellent experience.
The reason was simple, his master had helped him win money again!
Now it was time to get to business.
He led Ree Shil to the marketplace where they had been interrogated by the government official during the day.
At this time, the marketplace was naturally empty.
Aside from the moonlight, there was nothing else.
"The man said last night that he bought his portrait from this marketplace five days ago."
"So if we want to trace the origin of the demon, we must start from here."
"The moonlight tonight is good, it’s just right for our task."
Thirteen looked up, expressing his satisfaction.
"Among the techniques of us exorcists, there is a secret method called the Moon Shadow Technique."
"It’s specifically used to investigate traces of Demon Qi."
"Only excellent exorcists can master it."
He made a smug face.
"Stop your nonsense, just hurry up."
But Ree Shil did not pander to him.
"Alright."
Thirteen’s attempt to seem impressive backfired, and he reluctantly took out a yellow talisman.
Accompanied by a long chant, his expression gradually became serious.
His exorcist personality was about to show.
"Go!"
As soon as the chant was complete, he threw the talisman forward.
As soon as it left his fingers, it started burning and turned into ashes in mid-air.
At the same time, a blurry figure bathed in moonlight appeared before the two of them.
[...]
The figure silently bowed to Thirteen then sat cross-legged on the spot.
A beam of light led from its body, dropping to the ground.
The beam of light on the ground was clearly visible in the dark, gradually extending towards a certain direction.
"The man didn’t lie, there was indeed Demon Qi here recently."
Thirteen pointed at the trace of light and explained, "The essence of every demon in the world has its unique characteristics."
