The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

If the hotel owner truly had the ability and connections, he wouldn't be content to run a small, run-down hotel in such a remote area bordering a slum and a working-class neighborhood.

However, if we have to assume this as a premise... it seems that such a thing is not impossible.

The matter is still feasible to some extent.

Just like...

Guiding Chu Yu's train of thought, Ning Feng patiently explained:

"Yes, if he wasn't here, or if he had a reason to stay here."

"And why does he get so angry when we see the strange beggar? Is it really because he doesn't like seeing this person?"

I don't think so.

His tone was humble, but everything Ning Feng revealed indicated one thing...

He was very certain of his judgment.

Unwavering.

"What's the big deal if a beggar sneaks into the hotel? This isn't some fancy place, what's there to be afraid of?"

It's just a run-down little hotel in the slums, so we can't be worried about hygiene and safety, can we?

"His strong reaction was simply an attempt to cover up other secrets with his angry outburst."

Actions like "Because I'm afraid of ending my student life by taking my clothes off during class, I'll cover it up with a louder voice!"

Want to cover up.

"Let's make a bold assumption... For example, he's worried that the strange man will reveal his secret."

Without keeping everyone in suspense, Ning Feng directly revealed his "guess":

"In the slave trade, the innkeeper might be a subordinate of a nobleman or a slave trader."

"They are responsible for finding or even arresting homeless people in the slums here and then secretly sending them to certain people."

The so-called middlemen who make a profit from the price difference.

And that strange man was the lucky one who secretly slipped out.

It's just a pity that he was a madman and didn't run away immediately.

"And someone like him, with a guilty conscience, would definitely be worried about having his secrets discovered."

Ning Feng shrugged easily and said somewhat embarrassedly:

“And once I have this leverage, I can make someone like him do one of my small requests.”

"Oh, another reason he agreed so easily was because the soldiers were approaching. He knew very well that those soldiers were not the kind of lowlifes who could be bribed by them."

Ning Feng didn't let Chu Yu speak throughout the entire process. He quickly explained the whole procedure and then gave her time to think, while he continued to smell the red wine.

The carriage moved forward smoothly. After thinking for a while, Chu Yu spoke softly:

Are these all just your speculations?

Chu Yu remained skeptical.

"Or is there something I'm not allowed to know?"

She didn't believe that Ning Feng would make such a decision based solely on subjective judgment.

That's too risky; it doesn't fit the impression he gave Chu Yu.

only……

Since Ning Feng is unwilling to answer, then as a qualified teammate, one should not continue to press him at this point.

"It's best that you understand. Thank you for your understanding."

Nodding with a smile, Ning Feng turned his gaze to the carriage window, admiring the dark, rainy night.

Speculation?

No, that's not true.

However, the real reason is not something I can tell you.

After all... it's not good for children's moral education.

Even after Ning Feng tried to salvage the taste with the aroma of red wine for a long time, he could still recall the previous flavor and could still feel the putrid smell filling his nasal cavity.

As before, Ning Feng could guarantee that what he said was true.

But he never guarantees that there are no secrets or omissions.

It's true that the innkeeper was a slave trader's subordinate, but that's about it.

"He hasn't even served the food yet, since he mentioned meat..."

As he gazed at the streets under the cover of night, Ning Feng's eyes gradually sharpened and darkened.

"What era are we living in? Are you still trying to pull that old sheep theory on me?"

Oh.

The dark beast made the entire royal city resemble a giant monster, devouring all prey that entered it.

"...This country, no, this world, is rotten to the core."

The nobility have fallen completely into the trap of darkness and wealth, caring only about pleasure and nothing else.

Even those who merely operate in the gray area dare to do such things...

"It's rotten to the core; the tree has rotted away from the middle."

"The old society that cannibalized people? The Middle Ages were the real nightmare... especially the Middle Ages where evil was forcibly amplified."

With undisguised disdain at the corners of his mouth, Ning Feng's desire to change the world was incredibly strong.

Such a world has no reason to exist.

Looking at Ning Feng's profile, Chu Yu felt that Ning Feng at this moment truly lived up to the nickname he had chosen.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the quiet and oppressive atmosphere in the carriage, he broke the silence and asked:

"Demon, what... what will happen to the innkeeper now?"

Immediately suppressing his surging emotions, Ning Feng turned around, thought for a moment, and said:

"Maybe they were 'warming up' by those soldiers during their room checks?"

"Didn't you teach him a lesson?"

"No, no, time was of the essence then, how could I have had time?"

I opened the window and poured the red wine out of the glass, letting the crimson liquid blend into the rainwater.

Ning Feng smiled and shook his head, saying confidently:

"No, really."

……

……

"Come out! The king has ordered a search of all foreigners!"

"Final warning."

The inn's staff and a few pitiful guests were all driven out and surrounded by soldiers.

Among the surrounded crowd, a man dressed in tattered soldier's uniform shouted at the soldier's commander:

"Sir! Listen to me! This really is that lord's..."

The sergeant gave the patrolling soldiers, who were rushing over in disheveled clothes, a cold glance, and ignored them, instead giving orders to his men:

"Break it open."

Upon receiving the order, one of the soldiers rushed to the door without hesitation.

"Yes!"

card!

The thickened, specially made wooden door was smashed open, revealing the scene inside the room.

Upon seeing inside, the soldier, who had maintained a stern expression, changed color and exclaimed in shock and anger:

"This is!

? ”

Dozens of shriveled corpses, their limbs severed and only their torsos remaining, were hung from the ceiling by iron hooks.

Because of the long period of air drying, it is almost completely dried out, and there is hardly any odor.

On the table directly opposite the door, a fresh corpse with its limbs severed was held in place by seven or eight iron hooks, its head facing one direction.

Following his face, one can see a wall covered with grotesque characters smeared in blood.

The words that are still flowing downwards, seemingly alive, all have only one meaning:

【demon】

Chapter 218 Come, let me recount your sins!

"Ahhhh!"

Matt was pushed back in the crowd. He had only peeked inside tentatively before being terrified by what he saw and screamed.

He saw the miserable state of the innkeeper he had met, and followed the corpse's empty gaze to the wall.

The words, smeared with blood, still radiated a bright crimson, deeply impacting the hearts of everyone present.

Evil and profound.

It was as if a gate to the abyss had been opened to the world at this moment, releasing the demons that were imprisoned within.

Matt involuntarily shivered, feeling a wave of dizziness and a chill run through his body.

call.
