Chapter 225: Late News

Inside the Grand Commander's office of the Exorcism Army.

When the Captain of the Hurricane Squad had just walked in, he was stunned by the scene before his eyes.

He saw a pitch-black, hunched humanoid monster gnawing on the corpse of a woman.

This woman had already breathed her last, her eyes wide open, her face still bearing intense terror, and blood had already stained the Hurricane Squad uniform she wore.

This woman was none other than the Deputy Captain, Xu Na.

Seeing Xu Na's tragic state, Ye Yu's eyes were instantly filled with rage, and he roared in grief and indignation: "You beasts!"

He rushed toward the monster regardless of everything, light erupting from his hands.

But just at this moment, a black shadow in the darkness suddenly moved, and a black pointed awl instantly pierced through Ye Yu's chest.

Black-red blood gushed from Ye Yu's mouth; he slowly turned his head, only to see another pitch-black monster, though its body was even taller than the one that had been eating Xu Na.

Ye Yu widened his eyes, looking at this scene before him in disbelief.

The tall monster pulled the black awl from Ye Yu's chest, and Ye Yu flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Ye Yu... you've come." Beside Xu Na's corpse, the monster gnawing on her slowly raised its head, spitting out a few blurred words, as if imitating Xu Na's voice, yet filled with endless eeriness and gloom.

The next moment, in Ye Yu's terrified gaze, the monster that had eaten Xu Na gradually grew fresh skin, growing into Xu Na's likeness at an extremely fast speed.

It was just a completely naked Xu Na.

The monster looked at this body of hers with obsession, unable to help but let out a chilling laugh.

Following that, her gaze shifted to the black monster on the other side, her eyes revealing a sense of showing off.

Greed suddenly erupted in the black monster's eyes; this time, the black awl pierced Ye Yu's shoulder, lifting him up and dangling him in front of itself just like that.

The intense pain made Ye Yu almost faint, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred in his mind.

Just at the moment when his consciousness was completely lost, he seemed to hear the sound of his own flesh and blood being chewed.

When Ye Yu was also eaten, the black monster was seen growing skin and flesh as well, once again growing into Ye Yu's appearance.

The monster that had turned into Xu Na walked up with some obsession, extending long, fair fingers to gently touch the other's skin.

And the monster that had turned into Ye Yu forcefully pulled the other's body into an embrace, and the entire Commander's office was instantly swept up in a frenzy...

Two hours later.

Long Aofei rushed out of the secret room in a rather violent manner, only to see the indescribable scene in the office.

A flash of anger crossed his face; with a wave of his hand, a powerful, evil force swept toward the two, and with a muffled "bang," the two instantly separated, then transformed into Ye Yu and Xu Na dressed in Hurricane Squad uniforms.

When they saw Long Aofei, they hurriedly knelt on one knee before him.

Long Aofei glanced at the two before him and said in a deep voice: "From today on, you two are the Captain and Deputy Captain of the Exorcism Army's Hurricane Squad."

"Keep the identities of Shadow Flame Demon General and Soul Devouring Madam hidden for now! If you two cannot restrain yourselves, try to find a place where you won't be discovered, do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Evil God!" the two replied in unison, their voices filled with awe.

Long Aofei nodded: "Two days from now is the annual Military Competition of the Shenxia Kingdom; military elites from all over the country will gather here, and that will be the time for us to wipe them all out."

"Once we eliminate these elites of theirs, the Shenxia Empire will have no power to resist, the entire country will fall into chaos, and we can take advantage of the chaos to complete the final evil ritual and let the Evil God's power descend upon the world."

A trace of Frenzy flashed in the eyes of Ye Yu (Shadow Flame Demon General) and Xu Na (Soul Devouring Madam), and they said in unison: "We obey all arrangements of Lord Evil God!"

Long Aofei sat at his desk, his fingers tapping continuously on the tabletop, making a "clack-clack" sound.

He was currently waiting for someone to arrive.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!" Long Aofei straightened his uniform, doing his best to make his expression and demeanor exactly the same as the previous Long Aofei.

A beautiful figure pushed the door open and entered; she was wearing the uniform of the Xiaolong Squad, her long, jet-black hair tied into a high ponytail.

"Chief, you were looking for me?" Chu Shuangshuang walked in and saluted Long Aofei.

Long Aofei revealed a friendly smile and hurriedly waved his hand: "Come, sit."

Chu Shuangshuang sat straight on the chair opposite Long Aofei, waiting quietly for the Chief's instructions.

Long Aofei looked at Chu Shuangshuang, a trace of imperceptible trickery flashing in his eyes, and said: "Shuangshuang, I asked you here this time because I want to tell you something."

"I know that all these years you have been looking for news of Zhou Chu's parents, and you have also taken care of Zhou Chu alone for so many years; it has truly been hard on you."

Chu Shuangshuang was slightly stunned; she had not expected Long Aofei to suddenly mention this matter.

When she first joined the Exorcism Army, her main purpose was to take the opportunity to find the whereabouts of her sister and brother-in-law; joining the army was not her original intention.

But she had not expected that after so many years, she still had not given up on the goal of finding the two of them, and even less did she expect that joining the army had become an indispensable part of her life.

And finding the whereabouts of Zhou Chu's parents had also become a heavy obsession in her heart.

Chu Shuangshuang came back to her senses and said: "Chief, my sister and brother-in-law are the only family I have in this world; I just want to do my best to find them."

Long Aofei nodded, deliberately showing a concerned expression on his face: "I understand your feelings, Shuangshuang. Actually, I recently obtained some clues regarding Zhou Chu's parents, which is also the reason I asked you here."

Sparks of hope instantly ignited in Chu Shuangshuang's eyes, and she asked eagerly: "Chief, do you really have clues? Tell me quickly, where exactly are they?"

Long Aofei looked at Chu Shuangshuang's eager appearance, feeling secretly smug inside, but on the surface, he still said steadily: "There are clues, but they are not very clear at the moment. I need to confirm further; before that, you must wholeheartedly prepare for this Military Competition."

"I believe that after the competition, there will be clear news."

"Also, I plan not to hold this Military Competition at headquarters this time; I intend to change the location to a wild Copy in the Sunset Canyon in the west. The terrain there is complex and the environment is changeable, which can better test the strength and adaptability of each army."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shuangshuang could not help but be shocked: "Chief, the wild Copy in Sunset Canyon is categorized as a dangerous Copy; isn't it a bit too risky to do this?"

"If the location of the competition is to be changed, shouldn't we report it to the chiefs of the Military Department?"

Long Aofei smiled: "This is precisely the intention of the chiefs of the Military Department."
