Chapter 3397: Demon Record (20)

And now, her entrustor’s wish had basically been achieved.

However, if the snake king wasn’t dealt with, her entrustor’s life would remain perpetually unassured.

As for the matter of the demon king core, Ning Shu didn’t want to get involved in that.

All that mattered to her was that it didn’t fall into the snake king’s hands. If the demon king core fell into the hands of just any minor demon, it could birth a powerful demon to shoulder the destiny the core was meant to bear.

Speaking of which, the demon king core was like a tool, a tool to achieve the plane’s self-healing.

People born within the plane were, in reality, more like individual chess pieces.

Fate truly was something hard to fathom.

The ordinance of fate was the most mysterious of all. Ah, fate…

The bureau chief said to Ning Shu, “Do you want to come work at the Special Investigation Bureau? Many demons work there.”

Ning Shu looked at the fighting demons, thought for a moment, and said, “I think I still prefer drawing comics. I wouldn’t be competent at the Special Investigation Bureau’s work.”

The bureau chief coldly scanned the situation in the room. “I think you would be competent.”

“I wouldn’t.”

Ning Shu looked at the surrounded snake king. It would be best if the snake king died right here.

It would save her the trouble of doing it herself. However, the snake king possessed a weapon of mass destruction: the demon king core.

If the snake king ruthlessly activated the power of the demon king core, the people present would likely struggle to withstand it.

Right now, the snake king had many concerns—his woman and children—so he didn’t dare use his full strength. Also, there was this mentally challenged eagle guarding the side.

Just as he wiped out one wave, the mentally challenged eagle would come at him again, engaging him in a battle of attrition.

Everyone has a moment of exhaustion. It was impossible for anyone to fight endlessly without rest.

Plus, there was the barrier. Even if he knocked everyone down, he would still have to break the barrier to leave.

The snake king felt utterly screwed. In the end, it was all caused by this mentally challenged eagle.

If he hadn’t been tripped up here, who knew where he would have run to by now, easily carefree and happily? His whole family would’ve been harmonious and joyful.

It would have been simply perfect.

The more the snake king thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn’t have made his move so early.

While being attacked by both the demons and Daoist priest, the snake king unleashed a major attack. A violent hurricane of demonic energy sent the demons and the old Daoist priest flying.

Everyone slammed heavily into the walls. The impact cracked the surface. The old Daoist and the demons spat out a mist of blood. They were unable to get up and struggled on the ground for a long time.

It was only thanks to Ning Shu’s water barrier that they were isolated and didn’t cause a commotion. Otherwise, such a huge noise would have long since alerted people.

Everyone ought to give her a thank-you gift.

The snake king panted violently while his scarlet eyes looked towards Ning Shu.

The snake king tightened his hold on An Yujun as he asked Ning Shu, “Is it because you like her that you’re doing this?”

Ning Shu: ???

He was utterly overthinking it.

She was only fighting him to the death because of a grudge involving murder. It had nothing to do with An Yujun.

Upon hearing the snake king say this, An Yujun’s pale and bruised face filled with humiliation.

“You…” An Yujun said somewhat painfully, “What do you mean by that? Am I that kind of loose woman?”

Ning Shu didn’t speak and just looked at the snake king.

The snake king said, “Even if you’re doing it for… What is your name?”

The snake king lowered his head to ask An Yujun. Up until this moment, he didn’t even know this woman’s name.

An Yujun bit her bloodless lip and said with difficulty, “An Yujun.”

He didn’t even know her name yet. Presumably, the snake king had just randomly found a woman to hook up with back then.

Yet An Yujun seemed to think this was an honor. No other woman had given birth to two snakes before.

The snake king said to Ning Shu, “Although we are love rivals, for An Yujun’s sake, we shouldn’t fight like this.”

Ning Shu felt no fluctuation in her heart. She even wanted to laugh.

What kind of nonsense was this? If these words were spoken to the original host, they might pass, but for her? She hadn’t shown any behavior indicating she liked An Yujun.

The snake king just wanted to drive a wedge between her and the Special Investigation Bureau. He wanted the Special Investigation Bureau know they were love rivals, with An Yujun involved with the both of them.

An Yujun played a decisive role.

An Yujun felt dizzy and her body was extremely uncomfortable. The torment from all sides was becoming too much for her body to bear.

An Yujun wanted to leave this place—very much so.

Hearing the snake king say Ning Shu liked her, An Yujun felt a bit awkward. It didn’t seem like this person liked her, though?

Nevertheless, An Yujun implored Ning Shu, “Please let us go. Fighting back and forth like this is just hurting everyone.”

Ning Shu instantly felt like the villain tearing a couple apart.

The snake king flicked his forked tongue. “How about we leave together? We can share the demon king core.”

Ning Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, “There’s only one demon king core. How do we share it?”

“You are a demon too. You should understand the problem demons face now. Before long, there will be no place left for demons to exist,” the snake king said to Ning Shu.

The snake king seemed to have a point.

The bureau chief looked at Ning Shu and said indifferently, “You can leave with the snake king, but from then on, you will be wanted by the Special Investigation Bureau. You can make your own decision.”

Ning Shu: …

Holy shit, what did this have to do with her? She was just watching the show—how did the fire get drawn onto her?

It seemed Ning Shu had now become the key figure in their conflict.

Ning Shu said, “You guys keep fighting. Just pretend I don’t exist.”

The bureau chief said to Ning Shu, “After we clean this up, you’ll also come to the Investigation Bureau to give a statement.”

“I didn’t commit any crime. Why should I give a statement?” Ning Shu asked with a frown.

“It’s just to complete your file. The Special Investigation Bureau needs to be aware of relatively powerful demons like you.”

This task-taker had really immersed herself in the identity of the Special Investigation Bureau’s chief.

Ning Shu currently held a mindset of distrust towards both the Special Investigation Bureau and the snake king.

Especially since she was now in a pickle. Ning Shu wouldn’t cooperate with the snake king, but it seemed she was also being forced to go to the Special Investigation Bureau.

The bureau chief’s attitude forced Ning Shu to suspect there was something fishy about the Special Investigation Bureau.

Ning Shu asked the bureau chief, “Whatever you need to ask, I can answer you right now. No need to go to the Bureau.”

The bureau chief glanced casually at Ning Shu. “It’s not just identity issues, but also your basic skills. We need to register all of that. The purpose of registering these is so that if a demon causes trouble, we can identify the demon based on their attack style.”

Ning Shu gave an ‘oh’ of realization.

The snake king sneered. “Give me a break. Of all the demons who’ve entered the Special Investigation Bureau, except for me, not a single one has ever walked out.”

Ning Shu feigned fear and took a step away from the bureau chief, then asked cautiously, “Is that true?”

The bureau chief chuckled. “Are you stupid? You’re trusting him over me? We have a connection, after all. We can work together.”

Ning Shu looked very bewildered. “I don’t know who to trust either. I’m a simple child, a naive sweetie. You guys better not trick me, okay?”

The bureau chief: …

A task-taker being a ‘naive sweetie’? This person had got to be kidding.
