At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds

The monster hiding in the crack in the wall actually used its hair as a substitute and escaped on its own.

Lin Bei calmly withdrew the black liquid, preparing to go down to the basement to catch any monster that dared to escape from his grasp. As he turned around, he saw Mark and Carol standing in front of their son Peter's bedroom door with terrified expressions.

Mark reacted quickly, assumed a defensive posture, and shouted, "Hey, who are you? How dare you trespass into our house? Get out of here right now!"

Carol recognized him and pointed at Lin Bei, exclaiming, "Oh, it's you! You and your companion came to our house this evening. Please leave immediately, or we'll call the police!"

Only Peter rushed towards Lin Bei, blocking his way, and yelled at Mark and Carol, "He's here to help me! He knows I hear strange noises every night. He believes me, but you don't! You're the bad guys!"

Mark and Carol were quite surprised by Peter's reaction, but Lin Bei found it completely unsurprising.

This child has personality problems.

Lin Bei was too lazy to argue or explain to the family of three. He turned to walk out of the bedroom, but Peter stopped Mark and Carol when they tried to stop him.

As Lin Bei walked out of the bedroom, he could still hear Mark asking Peter what this meant.

Peter's almost ear-piercing scream rang out: "What else could this mean? He believes I'm telling the truth! There's a monster in our walls! There really is a monster, why don't you believe me! This brother believes me, he's going to catch the monster!"

To everyone's surprise, Mark and Carol did not show any surprise upon hearing this. Instead, their expressions changed drastically, and they abandoned Peter, turning around and rushing out of the bedroom to chase after Lin Bei.

At this moment, Lin Bei had already arrived on the first floor and saw Constantine sitting calmly on the sofa, watching TV with a happy expression.

Lin Bei ignored him and was about to walk towards the basement door when he heard a scream behind him and the sound of footsteps rushing down the stairs.

"Stop! Don't go any further!"

"Stop! Don't open the basement door!"

Lin Bei paused, watching Mark and Carol rush downstairs, and without hesitation blocked the basement door.

Mark and Carol were deathly pale, their faces filled with terror and unease.

Carol trembled and shook her head at Lin Bei: "No, we absolutely can't go to the basement, we can't let her out!"

Mark glared at Lin Bei with a resolute expression: "I don't care what you said to Peter, but whatever happened to him at home is absolutely unacceptable. Please leave our house immediately, or we will call the police!"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow, standing still, and sneered, "What are you thinking? You've locked up such a dangerous thing in your house, and instead of finding someone to evolve her, or to get rid of her, you just want to lock her up? Do you really think you can keep her locked up until she dies? Do you know that the longer you keep her locked up, the more the resentment in her heart will turn into power? Maybe you won't even have to wait for your son to kill you. In another six months, your daughter won't be able to hold on anymore and will kill you all, and then massacre the entire city."

As Lin Bei said this, Peter also came downstairs.

He happened to hear the word "daughter".

Peter, clearly unaware that the monster haunting him every night in the wall was his sister, exclaimed in disbelief, "Really? That monster is my sister? Why didn't you tell me? You even lied to me, saying I was hallucinating?"

In their panic, Mark and Carol exchanged a glance, then looked away simultaneously, neither looking at Peter nor answering him.

Constantine, who was watching TV, scoffed at the scene and lazily lit a cigarette: "Let's skip this tedious family chatter. Lin Bei, if you don't deal with the demon in the basement, I will. I'm curious about what it is; it seems a bit different from a typical demon."

Before Lin Bei could speak, Mark and Carol turned and glared angrily at Constantine: "What nonsense are you spouting? How could that be a demon? That's a monster, a monster! We can't let her out, she'll ruin our family!"

Lin Bei had no interest in listening to their excuses. He sneered and said, "You're still thinking about your family? It seems you don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. Didn't I just say that you really think this one building can keep an eye on the demon? You're overthinking it. Get out of the way, or I'll kill you all."

Lin Bei wasn't joking or threatening.

He was simply stating a fact.

In his eyes, humans are as insignificant as ants. He might lend a hand when he's in a good mood, but he wouldn't hesitate to kill any human who dares to stop him from killing demons.

Perhaps it was the murderous intent in Lin Bei's words that was too strong, or perhaps it was the chill emanating from Lin Bei that was almost tangible, but Mark and Carol shivered and subconsciously took two steps to the side.

However, Carol, hiding behind Mark, was still frantically pleading, "Please, don't... don't let her out... something bad will really happen..."

As Lin Bei walked toward the basement door, he said calmly, "What else could happen? You've all driven your son crazy. I don't think anything serious will happen. Besides, I'm here to resolve things."

As he spoke, Lin Bei casually opened the basement door.

Just as the door was opened, a cold draft carrying a fishy stench blew out from the basement.

In that instant, the temperature on the entire first floor dropped sharply, the television froze, and then turned into static.

Constantine flicked his cigarette and complained, "Come on, weren't you supposed to be a non-traditional demon? Why are you doing this?"

Lin Bei casually tossed Constantine a "Keep an eye on them" before strolling into the basement.

Mark and Carol instinctively tried to stop Lin Bei, but Constantine nimbly flipped over from the sofa to stand in front of them and raised his hand to stop them.

Constantine remained silent, simply watching the couple and raising an eyebrow as a warning.

Although Constantine followed Lin Bei like a driver, he was, in truth, a detective from Hell, and his power was far greater than that of ordinary people.

With just a glance, Constantine could stop this family of three.

While Constantine was restricting the family of three's movements, Lin Bei had already gone down to the basement.

The basement reeked of a foul stench, and the temperature was bone-chillingly low.

That wasn't all. The basement was covered in dust, and the floor was wet, not like water, but like some kind of sticky liquid.

There was no one in the basement, except for a well locked with iron bars in the very center.

Even though the other party concealed their presence, Lin Bei could still keenly sense that the demon who dared to escape from his grasp was right here in the well.

Lin Bei scoffed, stepped forward, easily lifted the iron bars, and said calmly to the dark well, "Will you climb out yourself, or will I drag you out?"

Not long after he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the previously silent well.

A short while later, a girl as thin as a spider climbed out of the well. She was bound from head to toe with tattered black strips of cloth, and her hair was dirty but long. The girl's face was obscured by her hair and the cloth.

But those scarlet, yellowish eyes gleamed with malice in the dim light.

She let out a rough laugh, which showed that she hadn't spoken for many years, and her voice was very different from that of a normal person.

"Who are you? Where does your power come from? You are powerful, I know it, I can smell it, I can feel it. You possess great power... If I could obtain your power... it would be very happy..."

Lin Bei squinted at the girl; things had clearly deviated drastically from the original plot.

However, Lin Bei was not surprised. He pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Oh, is that so? You want my power? Do you think that's possible? Don't you remember? You were almost torn to pieces by me just now."

“That was close,” the girl said, crawling slowly on all fours like a spider, circling around Lin Bei. “You didn’t kill me, did you? You know, at a time like this, any small mistake could be fatal.”

Lin Bei shrugged: "Okay, even if you're right, I'm more curious about whose subordinate you are. You're not a demon in the traditional sense, right? A new force is rising in this world."

The girl paused in her crawling, tilted her head to stare at Lin Bei, and squatted down, giggling, "I thought you were a very powerful exorcist... I didn't expect you didn't even know who my master was... You're nothing special."

Lin Bei was completely unmoved by the girl's words. He put his hands behind his back and looked down at her calmly: "Is it possible that it's a problem with your master? Demons that I don't know about are usually not very famous, and of course, their power is just so-so."

Unexpectedly, Lin Bei's casual remark angered the girl.

The girl let out a piercing scream, followed by a furious roar: "Shut up! You are not allowed to insult the great Lord Atlak Nakya! What are you? How could your fist-sized brain possibly understand Lord Atlak Nakya? You inferior beings don't even have the courage to look Lord Atlak Nakya in the eye! You are only fit to be Lord Atlak Nakya's servants!"

The girl seemed unable to accept that her master was being slighted in the slightest, and she couldn't even accept Lin Bei's words, which contained no contempt.

She even got angry, yelling and jumping around in the basement, which was teetering on the edge of collapse, with dust constantly falling down.

Lin Bei fanned himself with his hand in disgust, but from the girl's words, he understood what had made her like this.

No, it's not that she became like this; rather, from the moment she was born, she was a servant of the man she spoke of.

Atlak Nakya.

This does not belong to the demon system.

Rather, he is an Great Old One within the Cthulhu Mythos.

Atlak Nakya is a spider-like creature with a human-like face. It lives in the caves of the Vomiadres Mountains, where it weaves a giant web that connects many caves together.

Simply put, it's a spider-shaped monster.

No wonder this girl looks like a spider; she takes after her owner.

Lin Bei smiled slightly, never expecting to come into contact with the Cthulhu Mythos.

This is quite interesting.

Lin Bei watched the girl wreaking havoc in the basement and casually used the power of the Shadow Monarch.

Black liquid surged out from Lin Bei's shadow and rushed towards the girl who was clinging to the wall at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The girl keenly sensed something flying towards her, and she sneered, "The same trick as before."

Having said that, she was about to easily dodge it when the black liquid suddenly changed direction, seemingly predicting where she was hiding.

Just as the girl jumped and landed in another spot, black liquid suddenly gushed out from the shadows on the wall and bound her tightly.

The girl screamed in fright, her hair writhing as if she were alive, frantically attacking the black liquid wrapped around her.

However, the black liquid itself is not a living thing and cannot feel pain at all. Even after being torn apart by the girl's long hair, it reconnected.

Lin Bei stood there, watching the girl struggle in vain.

Once the girl had exhausted most of her strength, Lin Bei smiled faintly and said, "Well, do you now know how big the gap is between us? But I'm curious, if I kill you here, will your master come to save you? With your master's abilities, it should be able to sense that its servant is in danger, right?"

That question really hit the nail on the head for the girl.

However, she dared not question her master, nor dared to imagine what he was thinking. She could only pant and glare angrily at Lin Bei through her thick, long hair.

"What my master does is his business. My master has his own ideas. I am just a lowly servant. Even if I die, my soul will return to where my master is!"

Lin Bei shrugged. He never had much to say about these fanatical believers.

Anyway, this girl wasn't normal from birth, so Lin Bei wouldn't show any mercy.

Too lazy to say anything more to the girl, he simply waved his hand, and the black liquid suddenly tightened.

The girl let out a muffled groan, and her long hair, which had been trying to attack the black liquid, suddenly relaxed and drooped limply around her.

Lin Bei shook his head helplessly. He thought that as a follower of evil forces, he should be a little more difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he wasn't even a low-level demon.

Ultimately, faith gave her strength, but her body was still that of a mortal.

To avoid being questioned, Lin Bei raised his hand, and the black liquid swallowed the girl's corpse, causing the originally cold temperature in the basement to slowly rise.

Lin Bei looked around and, seeing nothing amiss, left the basement.

When Lin Bei came out, Constantine was forcing the family of three to sit on the sofa.

Upon seeing Lin Bei, Constantine raised his chin and asked, "Solved? Was that a demon?"

On the sofa, Mark, Carol, and Peter looked over in alarm. From Constantine, they had learned that the girl they had locked in the basement was a demon.

Lin Bei pondered for a moment, then explained calmly, "You could call it a demon, it's from the Cthulhu Mythos." (End of Chapter)
