From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Therefore, the little demon dragon has to do most things himself when it comes to matters related to magic.

Recruiting a mage's subordinates?

doesn't work.

In the nine hundred years since the Holy Lord was sealed away, the law of Yin and Yang balance has prevented the demon dragon from collecting too many magical items, let alone recruiting subordinates.

Only in modern society, with the increase in human numbers, the rise in the overall amount of righteous energy, and the signs of the Holy Lord's resurgence, which occupies the vast majority of the dark energy, did the Demon Dragon establish the G-Society.

In addition to matters concerning food, clothing, shelter, intelligence gathering, and weapons, he dared not let them directly handle any matters related to magic, especially those involving Chen Long and his group. Instead, he sought help from the Black Hand Gang trio, Han Bing, and others to avoid disrupting the balance of Yin and Yang.

but!

Those three key members of the Mafia are incredibly stupid!

A month ago, he ordered the three of them to act separately, and also arranged for his trusted aides from the G-Society's Barcelona to assist them, and these aides were equipped with high-tech weapons—

Initially, they didn't expect them to succeed; they just hoped that they could distract Chen Long and the others so that he would have a chance to obtain the Cursed Blue Demonic Qi.

But man proposes, God disposes!

The Cursed Blue Demonic Energy is actually in outer space!

Thus, considering that Chen Long's side had obtained all three demonic energies—thunder, wind, and earth—the little demon dragon was naturally feeling quite exhausted.

Although he strongly suspected that the balance of yin and yang was at play, he hoped that the righteous side would also obtain four demonic energies so that they could fight against the demonic side.

But the Mafia trio's defeat still caused his blood pressure to rise—

If it weren't for these three, plus Afu, who had the most experience dealing with Chen Long and his group, the demon Xiaolong would have burned them to ashes long ago.

As for the three—Frost, Boxer, and Viper—after initially giving Chen Long a hard time, they were basically constantly getting beaten up. Despite being several times stronger than the Black Hand Gang trio, their battle record was appalling.

Therefore, ever since they were crippled by Lu Jin and imprisoned in the hospital, Demon Little Dragon never intended to bring them back... It would be a waste of his magic power to treat them, and those three guys would devour their master, so it wasn't worth it!

The only saving grace is that his adoptive father, the Holy Lord, and his seven uncles, aunts, and other relatives, after going into hiding, are essentially like the "Three Wise Monkeys" statue, completely sealed away, temporarily escaping their fate of becoming pawns of righteousness or evil.

However, the eight demons haven't truly escaped the chessboard; at most, they've become one with it, temporarily unable to be manipulated by the laws of Yin and Yang balance...

at the moment.

He just wanted to relax on this day.

And speaking of Halloween—

The little demon dragon took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said to Afen, Lasu, Zhou, Afu and the Monkey King: "It's ironic, actually. This festival was originally created by humans to dress up as devils in order to avoid being harmed by demons and ghosts."

But now things are different.

A true demon like myself can only walk openly in the streets on this ridiculous holiday.

"You know what? Xiaolong, you're just too shy."

The Monkey King grinned, “Even if it’s not Halloween, we can still walk openly down the street.”

This is modern society. People don't think we're real monkeys or lizard people. They just think we're dressed up in mascot costumes, you know?

The audience is actually very easy to fool.

"Humph!"

The little demon dragon spewed two flames as thick as chopsticks from its nostrils, but worried that it couldn't defeat the Monkey King who now possessed the three great demonic energies of heaven, mountains, and water. So it could only suppress its temper, pat the Monkey King on the shoulder, and say, "Today is Halloween, I don't want to be angry, but please don't call me a lizardman, okay?"

"No problem, Charizard! You're the boss, you call the shots!"

The Monkey King chuckled, somersaulted away from the devilish little dragon and his gang, and said, "Then I'm going to play a prank too! Trick or treat! Ahahahaha!"

Seeing the Monkey King disappear into the distance, the Demon Dragon sighed and said to the four people behind him, "Don't follow me! Otherwise, I'll let you taste the flavor of roasted lizard!"

After saying that, the little demon dragon leaped onto a nearby rooftop, and with a few jumps, its figure disappeared from Ah Fen and the others' sight.

Rasu asked, "What do we do next?"

Zhou said, "How about we go trick-or-treating? It's Halloween today, of course we should have some fun."

"That's settled then. In three days, we'll be going on a rocket ride with the devilish little dragon. Who knows, he might get excited and blow up the spaceship, and we might become 'astronauts' forever."

Ah Fen agreed with Zhou's suggestion, "This might be our last Halloween, so we must cherish it."

"Afu, what about you?"

"With you!" Afu said coldly, still sparing with his words.

After leaving the Black Hand Gang, the Demon Dragon arrived at another street. After walking a few steps, he smelled the scent of darkness and thought to himself, "Besides me, are there other dark forces around here? Perfect, I have nothing better to do, so I'll go take a look and see if I can recruit them as subordinates!"

# Chapter 866 The Darkened Parker

"Lu Jin, go knock on the door."

on the street.

Looking ahead, all that comes and goes are "ghosts and monsters"; looking around, every household has its lamps lit.

It was Duanmu Ying's first time celebrating Halloween, and she leaned close to Lu Jin's ear and whispered, "Go ask for candy."

Why don't you go?

Lu Jin rolled her eyes.

“After all, among these three visitors from another world, you are the youngest, if you round it up,” Duanmu Ying said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's eyes twitched. Seeing his good older brother also give him two thumbs up, his lips trembled even more. He thought to himself, "I'll go for it," and walked to a door and knocked on it.

The door opened.

A middle-aged man walked out.

"Trick or treat!"

To be honest, this holiday phrase carried a "threat" connotation, which made Lu Jin somewhat uncomfortable, causing her to stutter when she spoke.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man was on the phone and didn't notice Lu Jin's nervous tone. He simply tossed a handful of sugar into Lu Jin's pumpkin basket and then closed the door.

Lu Jin: "..."

"Parker, you should give it a try too."

Seeing this, the Bull Warrior laughed out loud, but hearing no response from Parker, he turned his head, but seeing no sign of Parker, his voice rose a few decibels: "Parker?"

“Bull Warrior, it’s Halloween today, don’t worry about your child getting lost,” the little snake reassured him. “Sometimes children like to go out on their own.”

“That’s right, Warrior Niu, I’m always worried about Xiaoyu getting lost, but today, we should relax a bit so as not to spoil the children’s fun,” Chen Long advised.

“Oh, I’m Parker’s guardian now, and his sudden disappearance makes me feel irresponsible.” Bull Warrior scratched his head.

Drip!

At that moment, Chen Long's phone rang.

It's Dad.

"What is it, Dad?"

"The mask is gone!"

My father's hoarse voice came through the phone.

What mask?

"Tara's mask! And Parker is gone too; I suspect he took it..."

After hearing his father recount the whole story, Chen Long's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said "Damn it!" three times. He then asked his father to prepare the magic potion to remove Tara's mask. Before his father could say, "There's one more thing," he hung up the phone and said to Bull Warrior and Little Snake, "We have to go find Parker. He might be in trouble!"

"Aren't we going to invite Jiang Liu and the others?" the little snake asked.

"No, they are visitors from another world and are enjoying their festival. We can't trouble them with everything. Besides, Dad is already working on the recipe."

Seeing that Jiang Liu and Duanmu Ying were encouraging Lu Jin to ask for candy and enjoying it, Chen Long decided not to disturb them.

So Chen Long said to Jiang Liu, "Let's split up and see who gets the most candy in the end, okay?"

As for the two little jades—

She had already run off from the group to ask for candy on her own!

"OK!"

Jiang Liu made a gesture, watching Chen Long, Bull Warrior, and Little Snake walk away, and said to Duanmu Ying beside him and Lu Jin who had returned from asking for candy, "That kid Parker has put on Tara's mask and become a 'little devil,' want to go watch the show?"

When did this happen?

Duanmu Ying was surprised. She didn't expect that the child would actually dare to wear the Tara mask. What a brat... Wait, that kid doesn't know anything about the Ghost Mask!

and so--

It was worn incorrectly!

"It was right after we left Dad's antique shop."

Jiang Liu's eyes blossomed like lotus flowers, revealing his wisdom and allowing him to see the whole world. He had already figured out the whole story and determined the time. "I only found out about this because I overheard Chen Long's conversation with my father... How should I put it? Halloween really does have ghosts and monsters lurking around!"

"Then let's go and meet that little devil!" Lu Jin grabbed a candy from the pumpkin basket, peeled off the coating, threw it into his mouth, and gritted his teeth.

how to say?

It's much better than him shyly knocking on doors, threatening kind people, and begging for candy!

For him, killing robbers, bandits, and members of the Quanxing sect on the spot was a no-brainer, but going trick-or-treating on Halloween—

Even with a bed sheet covering him, he felt embarrassed...

···

"Parker!"

"Where are you?"

"Kids these days are so disobedient."

the other side.

Chen Long, Little Snake, and Bull Warrior split up and searched for nearly half an hour, but they hadn't seen a trace of Parker. Instead—

"Wow! This Halloween is really lively!"
