Full-Time Magister: My Elements Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 58 The Strange Movements of the Scaled Demon Mother

"Brother Lin Yu?"

When I opened my eyes again, it was already light.

Lin Yu discovered that Xiao Lingling had appeared there at some point.

"You're awake? Are you hungry?"

As she spoke, Lingling chuckled and pulled her hand out from behind her back, holding a breakfast in her hand.

Two soup dumplings and a cup of porridge.

"What a sweet and considerate daughter."

Lin Yu smiled slightly, took the breakfast from her hand, and began to eat.

"By the way, Brother Lin Yu, guess who went to the agency this morning?"

Lingling sat down next to Lin Yu, a sly look on her face, and asked.

"Could it be the lady of the house who went there?"

Lin Yu hadn't even swallowed a bun yet when he raised his hand and pointed downwards, his voice slightly muffled.

How did you know?

Lingling's eyes widened in surprise.

"Just a guess!"

Lingling glanced at Lin Yu and spoke again, "She came to our Hunter's Office and said that her husband might have killed someone. There was a shirt in the trash can that was half burned and still had bloodstains on it."

"Her request was exactly the same as that man's: to protect her and her four-year-old child."

Lin Yu took a sip of porridge and swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth. "I burned her husband. Yesterday, he shed his skin and turned into a demon covered in green scales. When he was about to hurt people, I burned him with fire."

"A demon covered in green scales?"

"molt?"

"Could it be one of those things?"

Lingling frowned and pondered.

Lin Yu knew that Lingling knew about the Scaled Demon, so he didn't say anything more.

Instead, she became worried about Xiao Lan.

While eating, he tried to communicate with Xiao Lan through the contract, but received no response.

"Brother Lin Yu, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Lin Yu seemed a little absent-minded, Lingling asked curiously.

"Little Blue, Little Blue last night."

Lin Yu roughly recounted what had happened the previous night to Lingling.

Although Lingling is young, Lin Yu knows that she is quite knowledgeable and experienced in this area.

After listening to Lin Yu's story.

Lingling's big eyes were filled with shock.

After a moment, the look of shock on her face disappeared. "Brother Lin Yu, don't you think that a creature whose skin can cover the teeth of such a powerful creature without being torn might be no weaker than the creature with those teeth?"

"Perhaps even stronger than it."

Lin Yu nodded. "That's what I thought too, but even so, how could a piece of skin cause Little Blue, who's already at the 'Warrior General' level, to fall into that state?"

"Don't worry, Brother Lin Yu, your contracted beast is very intelligent. Although I've only been with her for a short time, I can tell that she is quite intelligent. She definitely wouldn't knowingly try to devour something that is dangerous."

"Moreover, there must be powerful beings like the one you mentioned in this world, perhaps even stronger than our forbidden spellcasters. The things they left behind may indeed contain some incredible, yet real, abilities."

Lingling looked at Lin Yu and patiently comforted him.

Lin Yu nodded. He had thought of those things too. However, when something happens, it's much better to have someone to comfort you than to worry about it alone.

He was certain that something extraordinary would happen to Xiao Lan this time.

The sky darkened again.

During the day, the two of them only left the rooftop to eat two meals, once at noon and once in the afternoon.

Lin Yu and Lingling stayed on the rooftop.

Lingling has already told Old Man Bao about accepting the commission, so she doesn't need to go back.

"Brother Lin Yu, shall we just stay here like this?"

Actually, I think we could go back to the hunting lodge and keep watch.

Anyway, there are surveillance cameras here, so I can spot anything immediately.

Lingling looked at the monitor on her tablet and made a suggestion.

Lin Yu nodded. "Let's get through tonight."

He remembered that the woman shed her skin on the very day she made the request. If they could confirm that she was the Demon Mother as soon as possible, they could resolve the issue sooner.

As for Zhao Manyan's reputation, that's easy to handle.

Give him the corpse and its characteristics, and with a little effort, people will become aware of the dangers of the 'Scaled Demon,' and there will be results.

Although the infection rate is lower than in schools where so many people are infected, thankfully there are no casualties.

Time flies.

It's already eight or nine o'clock.

"Lingling, what is that woman doing right now?"

Lin Yu awoke from his meditation and looked at Lingling, asking her a question.

"You can't watch women take a bath!"

After Lingling finished speaking, she put the tablet in her arms.

Hearing this, Lin Yu frowned slightly. The situation was developing almost exactly as in the original story. "How long has she been showering? Do you have surveillance footage in your bathroom?"

"It's not right to spy on others, and she was only in the bathroom for 20 minutes."

Lingling was very professional, and she answered.

"Quickly check how the woman in the bathroom is doing now."

"I feel like something's not right."

Lin Yu slowly stood up and spoke again.

"What could be wrong? Isn't it normal for women to take a shower for 20 or 30 minutes or even an hour?"

As she spoke, she switched the screen on the tablet to the bathroom, but her eyes widened when she saw the surveillance footage.

Lin Yu also curiously went over to join the group.

Of course, he just wanted to see why Lingling was so curious; he didn't mean anything else.

This is what the monitor screen on the tablet is showing right now.

The bathroom was filled with white steam, and one could vaguely see that under the showerhead, a woman was kneeling on the floor, her body twisting in an extremely strange posture.

What's even more terrifying is that the woman is shedding her skin like she's peeling off; the upper body skin, with its long hair, has already peeled down to her chest.

She is now trying to pull her hand out of the human skin.

Lin Yu could vaguely make out the blue figure behind the dense water vapor.

"Brother Lin Yu! It really was that kind of thing! Thank goodness you reminded us, otherwise the man and the child would have been in danger."

"What should we do now?"

Lingling looked serious, with a hint of annoyance between her brows.

"It's okay, I don't think her skin will peel off very quickly."

"We're going down now. Try to get the door open, and I'll just blast her to death and the mission will be complete."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Lingling nodded.

Soon the two of them walked up the stairs toward the room where the woman was.

"Faster, Brother Lin Yu! The woman's skin has already peeled down to her waist, and her hands have already been pulled out."

"It will only get faster and faster from here on out."

Lin Yu stood behind her, and Lingling, looking at the screen on the tablet, urged him to speak.
