Demons, Earth's native mammals. It ate the same food as humans. An adult was about three meters tall, weighed 300 kilograms, had a wingspan of five meters, and could live for 800 years.
Their physical fitness that far surpassed that of humans did not give them the status of superhumans. Their population had always been very low. Since the beginning of human civilization, the peak of the demon population was only one fifth of the human population. Due to their enmity with the humans and their inability to contend with the human army, the demons were once on the verge of extinction. It was not until they learned the Bone Shrinking Technique and learned how to disguise themselves as humans that the population of the human race began to rise. However, the human population also soared with the industrial revolution. In the 21st century, there were already seven billion humans. What about demons? Whether or not it reached four digits was unknown.
The existence of demons was not a secret among the higher-ups of mankind. In fact, many of them knew how to raise demon guards. Although they couldn't compete with the army or even the armed police, it was worth it to be the bodyguard of the soldier king. Even the King of Assassins, who stood out from the slaughter on the isolated island, could not reach the level of a two-meter-tall middle-level demon.
.
The female demon Ella, one of the demons who served Ye Liqing, was already 400 years old. Ye Liqing and her lover, one of the oligarchs, Vasily Alexandrovich Alexandrov, had raised four demons. One was Ella, and the other was Alexandrov's guard, Ximu, who had been severely injured by Ge Xiaolun. The other two were guarding the brothel that Alexandrov had built in Vyazma.
Unlike the other three who had been bribed, Ella's service to Ye Liqing was more of a threat. As Ye Liqing was a woman, she was not very satisfied with the male demon bodyguards. She hoped to find a female demon to serve her, and one of the demons, Kulia, volunteered to help her find a suitable target.
Ever since the Great Voyage Era, almost no demons dared to appear in their original appearances. In order to avoid being caught by humans, the demons began to scatter around the world and lost contact with each other. Unlike in fantasy novels, there was no mystical telepathy between demons. Two demons disguised as humans brushed past each other and even worked together for a short period of time. They would not be able to discover each other's identity. Lonely Demons who lived alone would desperately search for their own kind who lived in the same city, intentionally or unintentionally exposing their existence to find or let their companions find them. It was because of this that Ella was discovered by Kulia. She was threatened with her life and had no choice but to serve Ye Liqing. After Ella joined Ye Liqing's team, the vicious Kulya suggested to Ye Liqing that Ella wasn't loyal to them, so he wanted to create something that Ella cared about to keep Ella. The specific method was to let the three male demons mate with Ella so that she could give birth to offspring and be imprisoned.
Ye Liqing accepted his suggestion.

"Just to satisfy my personal sense of justice, I actually disobeyed orders and brought Lonnie along…This isn't good for me, Lonnie, and even worse for the country. What if something really happens to the guards, causing a regime change in Russia before the aliens attack…or even a civil war? That's not what I want to see.」
" Besides... if you disobey orders on the battlefield, you'll be shot..."
His situation was so similar to Ella's that after Ella explained her predicament, Yuqin expressed that she was duty-bound and persuaded Ge Xiaolun to save Ella's daughter with her. Her impulsiveness was temporary. On the highway, the cold wind from the air conditioner calmed her down, and she began to regret it. She and Ge Xiaolun had received orders to gather at Lubyanka after the operation as a reserve team to deal with any unexpected situations, in addition to the demon bodyguards who would restrain the oligarchs during the arrest process. There were not many people in the company, so she took a quarter of the fighting force and drove to Vyazma in Smolensk Region. If something went wrong, she couldn't bear the responsibility.
.
"Lalalala Demacia!"
Unlike her worried self, Ge Xiaolun was very cheerful and even hummed a song. His optimism also infected Yuqin, making her full of confidence in the remaining six comrades. She believed that they alone were enough to handle all emergencies.
.
"Lonnie, we came out in a hurry. Did you remember to accidentally kill Gorbachov?”
After her mood improved a little, Yuqin and Ge Xiaolun started chatting.
.
"Of course!"
Speaking of happy things, Ge Xiaolun beamed with joy and described the scene with both hands and feet.
"At that time, I was fighting with those demons while looking for the old undying. Finally, when I realized that he was in the room under my feet, I stomped on the ceiling and smashed him into meat paste!”
An 83-year-old man who was once one of the most powerful people in the world had died tragically under an unknown rock. It could be considered retribution for evil.
.
.
Ella was so eager to save her daughter that she did not care about the speed limit on the highway at all. At one point, she sped up to 200 miles per hour. The 224-kilometer straight journey from Moscow to Vyazma took her only one and a half hours. Finally, she parked the sports car outside a villa complex in the town. The villa complex was built by the oligarch, Alexandrov. It was a place for him to have sex and was also the place where Ella's daughter was placed under house arrest.
As Yuqin and Ge Xiaolun were stronger than the demons, they didn't spend much time on the battle plan. They only needed to get into the manor and rescue the hostages. Ala helped them come up with an idea. The manor often recruited new female slaves, and Yuqin could pretend to be a female candidate.
.
Hello, sir. Do you need a family doctor here? Mr. Semyon Nikolayevich told me that you are looking for a family doctor. I am here to apply.
After knocking on the door of the villa, Yuqin raised a piece of paper and greeted the person who came. The man who greeted her was dressed like a servant. He seemed to be an ordinary human. Yuqin looked behind him and saw that it was pitch black. It seemed that it was the second door of the villa to prevent outsiders from peeping.
.
"Can't you speak?"
.
Yuqin nodded.
.
Under normal circumstances, women entering the manor should go through absolutely confidential channels and be escorted by special personnel. They would never open their doors to people with unknown backgrounds. However, there was an exception. The demon who had harmed Ella, Kulya, was not only of the same species. In fact, he was also very interested in human women. Half of the reason why Alexandrov built this manor was to satisfy his sexual needs, and the other half was to share his happiness with Kulia.
Unlike the financial oligarch and politician Alexandrov, who was cautious, Kulia liked to seek excitement. For example, he was very keen to kidnap innocent girls into this demon cave behind Alexandrov's back. This could give him a full sense of accomplishment. It made him feel as powerful as the great demon in movies and television stories, even though he could not even defeat Ella.
.
"Mr. Kulia, a lady said that she was going through Semenae…"
.
"Let her wait for a while. I'll pick her up!”
It had been a long time since a " fish " took the bait. The demon on the other end of the phone was excited. He wiped the blood on his mouth, put on his clothes, and rushed out of the house. His blood was in a rush, so he didn't even call his agent, Semyon, to confirm the authenticity of the matter. However, it was precisely because she knew that he would definitely fall for it that she gave Yuqin this idea.
.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss…Sona, right?”
Yuqin stood outside the door for less than a minute. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a monocle and a black bow tie, who looked gentle, replaced the previous male servant and welcomed her at the door.
.
" Squeak squeak squeak…"
Hello, are you Mr. Butler? It was Mr. Semiao who introduced me to apply for a family doctor position here.
.
"It's me. Let's talk inside."
Kulia kindly invited Yuqin into the manor, not realizing that he was inviting a wolf into his house.
" A great evil, a cripple, a female doctor, a foreigner... I've really picked up a treasure. Hmph hmph..."
.
The villa was designed with a unique winding path. Even in late June, one would feel inexplicably cold when walking in the forest. In addition, blood-stained shrouds, chainsaws, broken dolls, and other chilling objects were placed along the way to attract attention or not. He guided Yuqin to accidentally discover them and cleverly made them disappear from the next angle, making Yuqin think that she was seeing things. He enjoyed the fact that Yuqin was inadvertently shocked, but when asked what happened, she pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened.
After passing through the cold forest path, there was a withered vine courtyard. The soil that should have been planted with landscape plants had nothing but dead branches and leaves. Grayish-black and grayish-white were almost the only colors in the courtyard. The only bit of life was the two red lycoris flowers behind the stone pavilion. However, their presence made the atmosphere in the courtyard even more sinister and terrifying. After all, in the language of flowers in the West, the red lycoris flower was also known as the other shore flower. It was rumored that it bloomed on the path to hell, giving guidance and comfort to the vengeful souls who left the human world, symbolizing death.
.
“……”
.
"What's wrong, Lady Sona?"
Just as he expected, he let Yuqin discover the ghastly white bones scattered on both sides of the road. They were placed in a conspicuous position. Even if someone looked straight ahead, it would be easy to notice them.
"Oh, don't worry about it. My master is an artist. This was just his work. At first, we also felt that it was quite scary, but now that we're used to it, we can treat it as an ordinary scenery. You'll like them too."
Kulia smiled brightly, revealing his white and neat teeth, but his abnormal mouth that seemed to be red deep inside. This was still his trick. He created a stage leading to hell, so that the victims gradually found themselves in a desperate situation. He took pleasure in the fear and despair of the victims.
.
[He can't help it. However, they were less than fifty meters away from the villa complex. If we fight here, we will definitely be discovered by the other one…Perhaps I can pretend to be defeated and attract the other one to come over as reinforcements, taking the opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop?」
.
The ideal was full, but the reality was hard. Kulia thought that Yuqin was completely in his hands, but Yuqin was calculating when to strangle him to death. Fortunately, Kulia did not attack in a hurry, so he gave himself some time to catch his breath. After walking for 50 meters and arriving in front of the villa, Yuqin did not change much. On the other hand, Kulia was so excited that he could not control himself. He thought that Yuqin's final moment had arrived.
"Miss Suo Na, after you."
.
[Is this a trap for me…]
When they went up the stairs, Kulia's gentlemanly behavior was very abnormal, as if there was some conspiracy. However, she was confident that the protection of her black armor was so strong that even the army's field artillery could not hurt her, so she went forward and pushed the door open confidently.
「……」
The curtains in the room were drawn, and the entrance was particularly dark. On the floor in front of her, there was a pool of human girl's flesh and blood. It looked as if she had been eaten raw. The assailant tore off her limbs and chewed them into a mess before starting to eat her waist. The reason why she could still recognize that the dead was a young girl was because the demon did not touch her head at all. Her face was filled with the fear she had before she died.
.
“……”
.
The demon laughed maniacally behind Yuqin. He slowly transformed and expanded his body, gradually covering Yuqin with the huge shadow he created under the Grand Eye. It was time to reap the rewards. He thought that he could finally taste the extreme fear of humans again. In order to brew his emotions, he dragged his feet slowly and heavily, creating a sense of oppression that shook the earth and mountains.
.
"Did you do this?"
.
To the demon's surprise, the green-haired girl did not seem afraid at all. Instead, it was her ghostly voice that frightened him. Almost instinctively, the demon gave up on playing with the piano and immediately chopped off the claws that could tear the armored car apart, hoping to make this strange woman who could scare him so much that his hair stood on end no longer make a sound in the shortest time.
.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter if it's not you."
The demon's attack hit Yuqin's green light shield, but it didn't even leave a ripple. However, Yuqin seemed to have been shot. She could not exert any strength on her knees and knelt on the ground. Her tears dripped onto the solid wood floor. Her attitude was just like Ella, who thought she was going to lose her child an hour ago. The difference was that Yuqin did not lose anyone. She just felt sad for strangers.
"There's one…one. None of you can escape…"
