Midnight, zero hour.
The rain poured down.
A lone woman stood before the entrance to the Donghai Scenic Area in Sucheng.
Clad in white, she stood under the streetlamp, umbrella-less, clutching a black travel bag to her chest.
A passing gray Corolla slowed and stopped before her.
A flicker of surprise in her eyes, the woman quickly approached the car window, travel bag in hand.
"Big brother! Can you help me? Please, it's raining so hard I can't get a taxi!"
The window rolled down, revealing Duan Chen's stern face.
The woman pleaded with the man inside the car, her eyes full of sorrow.
She possessed a sexy, beautiful face. Her soaked white dress clung to her fiery, alluring figure, revealing everything beneath.
Duan Chen's Adam's apple bobbed as he said in a low voice,
"Get in."
"Thank you, big brother!"
The woman, relieved, slipped into the passenger seat.
"Sorry, big brother, I'm soaked. I've probably dirtied your car."
Duan Chen stepped on the gas, his expression languid.
"It's fine, I'll get a new one after this job anyway."
The woman smiled, pushing back her wet hair. Large swathes of fair skin were exposed with the movement, water droplets sliding down her alabaster skin, a seductive fragrance filling the car.
Duan Chen occasionally glanced at her from the corner of his eye, seemingly distracted from driving.
The woman was pleased with Duan Chen's reaction, chuckling and straightening her chest.
"Big brother, have you heard about that terrifying rumor going around lately? They say a giant 'Mirror City' was found at the bottom of the sea, as large as the entire Xijing City."
Duan Chen nodded.
The woman smiled mysteriously, "Legend has it that sea monsters live in the 'Mirror City' at the bottom of the sea. They can devour human souls and then transform into the appearance of that person, indistinguishable in looks, speech, and mannerisms."
"But it's said that sea monsters can't absorb memories, because they belong to the fish family and only have a seven-second memory."
"However, after transforming into humans, their brains also evolve to be like humans', like someone who suddenly lost their memory and began a new life."
As the woman spoke, she gently unzipped the travel bag she was holding, revealing a small section of human hair—
It was indeed long human hair, and beneath it seemed to be... a woman's face.
Identical to the woman sitting in the car right now!
"So, do you believe this legend? Kind driver big brother~"
The woman smiled charmingly, her delicate hand reaching for Duan Chen's arm, guiding his hand towards her thigh!
"Want to feel?"
Beneath the cold, damp touch, a slippery sensation of fish scales transmitted.
Duan Chen's heart leaped in panic, wanting to withdraw his hand, but the woman's strength was immense, and the car almost lost control. He hurriedly applied the brakes.
The woman leaned into him, her seductive eyes smiling, her warm breath exhaling into Duan Chen's ear.
Her red lips parted, and she said in a most ambiguous tone,
"Little brother, in your next life, don't casually pick up strange women."
The woman's fair, soft, delicate hand slowly slid to Duan Chen's chest, suddenly becoming incredibly sharp!
But to her surprise, Duan Chen's face did not show a trace of fear. Instead, he relaxed completely.
The cold and timid demeanor he had exuded vanished.
He even curved his lips upwards and smiled.
The woman was extremely surprised. The men she had killed before either begged for mercy or cried, and some even tried to have their pleasure before death.
But this was the first time she had ever seen someone smile.
"Damn man, what are you laughing at?" the woman said fiercely.
"Heh heh, you've finally shown your true colors. I was worried I'd slip up all the way here. After all, acting isn't my forte."
"In any case, thank you, big sister, for contributing to my monthly bonus."
Duan Chen smiled and increased the pressure with his hand. Only then did the woman realize that something hard was pressing against her left chest.
It was a strangely shaped black handgun.
She was shocked, having no idea when Duan Chen had drawn his gun or aimed it at her!
The female demon, thinking to strike first, forcefully pushed away the black gun and used her hand like a blade to stab towards Duan Chen's chest.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't harm the man in the slightest.
Her beautiful face was filled with astonishment, her large eyes rolling with intense unwillingness.
Gritting her teeth, she pounced, her delicate body straddling Duan Chen's thighs, her hands attacking in turns.
This whole maneuver, surprisingly, made Duan Chen feel quite comfortable.
The atmosphere became ambiguous.
"Stop touching me, big sister."
The female demon froze, feeling a fiery dragon stir beneath her.
She was completely panicked.
"You, you're not an ordinary person! You're a Spirit Hunter!!"
In this world, there existed a very small number of people with extraordinary talents, known as [Spirit Hunters].
Their identities were shrouded in mystery, and they walked in the darkness, safeguarding the stable order of humanity under the sun.
All Spirit Hunters had to abide by established regulations, and the official organization that controlled these special individuals to prevent them from engaging in illegal activities was called the [Spirit Hunter Guild].
Duan Chen nodded, a slight smile on his face, and pulled a three-star license from his pocket to display—
[Name: Duan Chen.]
[Rank: Senior Spirit Hunter Agent.]
[Affiliation: Spirit Hunter Guild - Sucheng Branch.]
Upon seeing the identification, the woman's face turned green.
If he had been a rogue Spirit Hunter, she might have been able to use some tricks to kill him. Even if he were a member of some other civilian organization, there might have been a chance to fight.
But a licensed member of the Spirit Hunter Guild, each one was an elite among elites.
She had provoked a supernatural powerhouse!
True hunters often appeared in the guise of their prey.
In an instant, their positions reversed.
The female demon trembled and tried to shrink back, attempting to open the car door and escape, but the door seemed welded shut, refusing to budge no matter how hard she pushed.
"Please, big brother, spare me. I'll do anything!"
A ripple spread across the pupils of Duan Chen's eyes, and the female demon suddenly felt as if she had been stripped bare.
"No way, big sister. You're facing death, and you're still thinking of having some fun?"
The female demon was terrified. She had indeed been thinking of how to use her alluring body just now. Moreover, this young man was handsome, dressed in a suit, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an imposing presence.
It wouldn't be a loss for her.
Who knew her inner thoughts had been seen through by Duan Chen!
This guy could read minds!
