Nightly Wails and Ghostly Howls: The Town Demon's Shadow [Chapter Nine]

Chapter Nine: The Fog

After greeting Glass, Xiu Yi arrived at the town library.

Looking at the rows of books piled before him, Xiu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: it seemed a mistake not to ask Glass for a few people to help him with his research. He recalled the time he was frantically copying papers in the school library before graduation from the Imperial Military Academy. Later, he submitted a clearly plagiarized tactical paper and surprisingly, it passed! He was truly grateful to those instructors who turned a blind eye!

Now, Xiu Yi had no choice but to grit his teeth and start flipping through the piles of books.

"What is this book? 'The Tale of the Peach'!?"

"An old man went up the mountain to chop wood, an old woman washed clothes by the river, and a large peach floated down the river... Two boys jumped out of the peach, and the old couple raised them to become famous figures. One was called 'Unifying the World with Martial Arts,' and the other 'Unifying the World with Seeds.' What is this?!"

He quickly flipped through "That Year I Was Ten Years Old," "Starlight Accompanied My Lust," "A Family of Desires"...

"Nothing to show for it!" Having searched from morning till afternoon, Xiu Yi felt extremely frustrated. He was about to give up when he saw the stack of dusty old books piled in the corner and decided to give it one last try.

After flipping through several books, a very old book with no title on the cover caught his attention.

What interested Xiu Yi were the colorful illustrations on the first few pages. One of the paintings depicts a handsome man biting a woman's neck with sharp teeth, blood flowing down her neck, and red roses scattered on the ground; the other painting shows a naked, seductive woman straddling a man's withered corpse, a lewd smile on her face, with countless bones piled up at her feet.

Xiu continued reading, and the more he read, the more he felt this was exactly what he wanted:

"Since the great war between gods and demons thousands of years ago, many races perished, and the advanced magical technology of that time was lost. Humans benefited the most from the war, no longer bound by the gods and demons, and began to have their own space for development. The defeated demons not only had their leader, the Chaos Goddess Hatina, sealed away by the Light Goddess Elsis, but also lost their source of magical power. Their only way to survive was to obtain magical power from humans, absorbing their life essence to prolong their lives…

Those whom humans collectively call demons are actually divided into three races: Dark Mist, Demon Blood, and Holy Moon, namely the Mist, Blood, and Moon races.

" The Mist Clan, known as the Ghost Clan by humans, lacks a physical body and survives by absorbing the souls and resentment of the dying. They exude a heavy, eerie aura; a mere glance from them is enough to kill an ordinary person, and even the strongest humans are like infants before them. However, their numbers are extremely small, and they are no longer seen on this continent. Some humans now employ similar martial arts, such as dark martial arts and death magic. In contrast, the Vampire Clan is much more familiar to the people of this continent. They live by drinking the blood of humans or animals, hence the name "vampire." They also possess considerable magical power, making them no match for ordinary humans. However

, they are constantly hunted by witchers.

The Moon Clan is a very mysterious race. Although few in number, its members are all handsome men and beautiful women. Each of them possesses powerful magic and terrifying strength, making them a nightmare for witchers. To maintain their magic, the Moon Clan survives by absorbing the life essence of human partners, a practice they call predation or hunting. Because they need to absorb the life essence of the opposite sex through intercourse, their sexual organs are very different from humans. Moon Clan men generally have very large penises, capable of bringing human women to ecstasy during intercourse and draining their life force when they reach orgasm. The victim dies in a state of blissful euphoria, her body going limp. The cervix of Moon Clan women... Long and curved, with small granules covering the vaginal walls, capable of causing a human man to lose all his vital essence and die during intercourse. Their uterus is like a second stomach, able to completely absorb the life essence of the man they absorb and transform it into their own magic power. Furthermore, Moon Clan women possess the ability to control their pregnancy; their love fluids are a powerful aphrodisiac for human men. Particularly noteworthy is that a very small number of Moon Clan women can even absorb the soul of a human man during intercourse, absorbing it into their bodies to live in symbiosis. While nourishing the soul with their own magic energy, they also draw power from it. It is said that they can only use this ability once in their lifetime.

The rest of the text concerns events from the war between gods and demons, but there's nothing particularly important there. Xiu Yi put down the book and began to organize her thoughts.

"The one who died from having his life force drained was a man, so the murderer must be a female demon. What about the dismemberment murder? This is truly more troublesome than the last one. If the other party is indeed conducting some ancient, lost magical experiments, the situation is serious. It seems I have to report this to my superiors, and conduct further investigation before submitting the report. Where should I begin? Conducting such experiments requires a large amount of manpower, resources, and funds. The merchant in town should be considered a prime suspect. I'll need to question Glass about him later. But before that, I need to investigate the dense forest where I encountered the magical beast." After deciding on his next move, Xiu Yi left the library.

It was almost dusk when Xiu Yi came out, and he was somewhat surprised that he had stayed inside for so long.

Trying to clear his drowsy mind, Xiu Yi walked along the commercial street of Belan Town. Calling it a commercial street was a bit of a stretch; it was really just a collection of small shops selling vegetables, fruits, and groceries. As Xiu Yi approached the fountain in the center of the street, he spotted a familiar figure.

It was Almidi, sitting forlornly on the edge of the fountain, watching the passersby.

"Hi! Almidi!" Xiu Yi called out.

Upon hearing Xiu Yi's voice, Almidi jumped up excitedly and ran towards him.

"How did it go, Xiu Yi? Did you find anything?" Almidi asked eagerly as soon as they met.

"I found some clues, but they're incomplete. Do you want to hear them?"

"Yes!"

Xiu Yi then objectively told Almidi about the existing clues and his own findings.

"So you think this murder is unrelated to the one three years ago?" Almidi couldn't help but think of Astoria's arrogant and aloof face, always looking down on everyone and blaming others for disturbing his hunting grounds. She hadn't seen him since he fled the capital of Eltoa three years ago. Unexpectedly, he had also come to this town three years ago, and that little girl Alma with her Oedipus complex was with him too. How interesting! He never left any survivors when he preyed on humans; it's no wonder that cold-blooded butcher was unlucky. However, with Astoria's skills, that level of fire couldn't possibly kill him. In contrast, after glancing at Xiu Yi, Almidi couldn't help but think of herself as a gentle and kind demon lady (whether she was a virgin or not didn't matter), quite a good match for Xiu Yi.

A little confused by Almidi's gaze, Xiu Yi quickly replied:

"It seems so for now."

"So who do you think the murderer is?" Almidi wanted to know Xiu Yi's true thoughts.

"Before answering your question, please answer one of my questions first," Xiu Yi said to Almidi seriously, his earnestness making Almidi break out in a cold sweat.

"There's a two-story house on the outskirts of Dragonflame City, the imperial capital. A family of four lives there: a wife, two children, and a husband serving in the army. The husband, returning from the battlefield, took a military-grade repeating musket home for amusement and ended up shooting his entire family. The landlord went upstairs to see who was firing the gun and was also killed. Now, tell me, in what year did this landlord's great-grandfather die?"

"What nonsense!" Almidi was exasperated by Xiu Yi's antics.

"So, based on the current clues, we can't find the murderer at all," Xiu Yi said, spreading his hands.

Almidi then grabbed Xiu Yi and acted coquettishly, making Xiu Yi's heart melt. Her unique fragrance almost made him melt into a lump of clay. While they were flirting, they suddenly realized people on the street were staring at them and quickly stopped, embarrassed. Just

as they were feeling extremely awkward, a voice from behind came to their rescue.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Hugh! I was just looking for you. And this young lady is…?" It was Glass who spoke.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Glass! As for this young lady, she's my travel companion, Miss Mitty Stella," Hugh said, relieved that Glass had arrived at the right time.

"Hello! I am Mitty Stella, an apprentice priestess of the Temple of Light in Eltoia. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Glass!" Almiti greeted him politely.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Mitty! By the way, I have something to ask Mr. Hugh. Shall we talk as we walk?" Glass said, blushing slightly. After all, Almiti was incredibly beautiful; any man would be captivated.

The three of them walked and talked, with Hugh and Glass mainly discussing the case, while Almiti mostly listened quietly.

"That's the situation regarding the merchant Picas. Thank you again for everything you've done for this town!" Glass explained the situation and thanked Hugh again.

As they reached the next intersection, Glass stopped and pointed to a magnificent building in the distance, saying, "Look, that's Picas's residence, and also where the merchant Arno used to live."

The two followed Glass's gaze and saw a tall, mansion-like building perched on a hillside, seemingly overlooking the town. At that moment, different thoughts arose in Hugh and Almidy's minds.

"An interesting building. I must visit it sometime to confirm my suspicions," Hugh thought.

"It doesn't seem so on the surface, but I can sense a gloomy atmosphere beneath its magnificent exterior, and subtle magical fluctuations within. It's quite suspicious," Almidy thought to herself.

"There's a general store up ahead! I know the owner. If you need anything, I can get her a discount there," Glass said, inwardly grumbling that his wife, Alice, was forcing him to use his position as mayor to solicit customers for her.

"Let's go take a look!" Xiu Yi happened to need to buy some daily necessities, so he dragged Almidi along. For Almidi, going anywhere with Xiu Yi was fine.

"Hey, come look! Huge discounts!" A beautiful woman with long pink hair, giving off a bright and cheerful vibe, was greeting customers; she looked quite young.

"Ah, welcome! What would you two like?" Alice greeted Xiu Yi and Almidi while pulling Glass aside for a private chat.

"Only two people today? You'll be in trouble when we get back!"

"Please, there was a murder in town today, I'm already overwhelmed!"

Meanwhile, Xiu Yi had already chosen what he wanted to buy and asked Alice to pay.

"Thank you for your patronage, that'll be 5 Eltoa Gold Coins in total," Alice said.

"Could you please exchange it for Imperial Coins?" Xiu Yi took out banknotes.

"If it's Imperial currency, it's one hundred yuan!"

"What? But according to the exchange rate, one Eltoa gold coin is equal to fifteen Imperial coins!" Xiu Yi felt there was no logic in calculating it that way.

"Who told your Reinga Empire to prohibit the use of gold and silver and force the use of paper money? You should know that if the Empire is defeated in a war, these are just useless pieces of paper!" Alice said matter-of-factly and aggressively.

"Alice, you mustn't say that!" Glass quickly stepped in to smooth things over, knowing that Alice's words were an insult to the proud Imperial soldiers.

"It's alright, Mr. Glass, I don't mind. But I have something I'd like to say to this young lady." Xiu Yi turned to Alice and said, word by word:

"As long as we Imperial soldiers are still here, the Reinga Empire will never be defeated!" He then took out a 100-yuan bill and handed it to Alice.

When Alice took the money, she realized her palms were already sweaty.

At that moment, Almidy hurriedly grabbed Xiu Yi's hand and said, "Hey, Xiu Yi, look how beautiful this ring is!" Realizing the tense atmosphere, Almidy wanted to distract Xiu Yi.

Following Almidy's pointing, Xiu Yi spotted a sapphire ring with a soft luster, looking incredibly exquisite and beautiful—a perfect match for Almidy! In fact, Xiu Yi had already vowed not to buy anything here, but this was what Almidy wanted!

Finally, Xiu Yi gritted her teeth, looked up at Alice, and asked, "How much is this?"

Despite being overwhelmed by Xiu Yi's imposing manner, Alice stubbornly replied, "Only two hundred gold coins. I'm afraid you can't afford it, so I'll just give you three thousand!" Her tone was laced with disdain.

"Here's four thousand yuan, keep the change!" Xiu Yi coolly handed the money to Alice and then picked up the ring, but in reality, he was in agony:

"My entire salary for this month and last month went down the drain, that damned vampire boss, and that Hardenberg who only pays me half! But—face, face, I can't lose face in front of Miss Mitty!"

Finally, Xiu Yi, in a victorious manner, presented the ring to Almiti, "Miss Mitty, please accept this!"

"Ah, this is too precious, I can't accept it!" Almiti hadn't expected Xiu Yi to actually buy her such an expensive ring, which was something she had casually mentioned earlier! Just as Almiti was frantically trying to refuse, she saw the almost pleading look in Xiu Yi's eyes, and her heart softened, allowing Xiu Yi to put the ring on her finger.

In that instant, a feeling he hadn't experienced in years surged through him. Almiti felt a warmth in his heart, as if he had found family again in this world. Xiu Yi's relieved and contented expression was like that of a child, just like his younger brother. Thinking this, Almiti made a decision.

Almiti stepped forward and embraced Xiu Yi, then pressed his soft lips to Xiu Yi's.

Xiu Yi's body tensed instantly. He felt Almiti's tongue skillfully moving within his mouth, drawing in sweet nectar before swallowing it. That tongue was incredibly smooth, constantly teasing all his senses, bringing an unprecedented sense of pleasure. He then reached out and embraced Almiti's slender waist, and the two embraced tightly, kissing passionately.

Watching the two passionately kissing before her, Alice's eyes welled up with tears.

She silently lowered her head, remembering her heart condition and how she couldn't handle too much stimulation. She and Glass had been married for two years, yet they hadn't experienced the pleasure of intimacy. This was because Glass feared her heart couldn't take it. Thinking this, Alice wiped away her tears and looked up at Glass, only to find him looking at her sadly as well.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiu Yi was breathless from the kiss. Just when he thought he was about to die under Almiti's tongue, her lips parted.

Then, Almiti whispered in Xiu Yi's ear, who was still panting, "Consider that your proposal!"

After saying this, Almiti laughed and ran away, leaving Xiu Yi standing there, stunned...
