Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

"Actually, I've never been afraid of ghosts at all; I just don't really like those things!"

In a dormitory of the Night Watch barracks, Su Yan lay on his back on a single bed, staring straight at the bed board above him, and said in a flat tone.

Lin Qiye nodded and chuckled:

"Ghosts? They're just some kind of mysterious existence, nothing to brag about in my eyes. I'm a 'Boundless' level polytheistic agent, with the power of the gods at my disposal. Under divine might, ghosts and demons can only flee in terror, how dare they cause trouble!"

Baili Pangpang twitched the corner of his mouth and said confidently:

"I have never been afraid. As the young master of the Baili family, I have mountains of protective artifacts. What ghost or evil spirit would dare to touch me? I will make it vanish into thin air and never be able to recover!"

"Hehehe~~" The three of them sneered at the same time, their momentum unstoppable.

Meanwhile, in the command center, the Phoenix team was on high alert, their eyes fixed on the monitor screen, their expressions somewhat chaotic and speechless.

The surveillance footage did not show any ghosts, only the current situation of Su Yan, Lin Qiye, and Baili Pangpang.

Xia Simeng couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed the communicator to complain:

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid? Then why are you all crammed onto a single bed? The three of you are practically a human pyramid!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the communicator before a response came:

"It's none of your business. The three of us are close, so we want to sleep together. Is that not allowed?"

"Correct!"

"The three of us brothers are good friends!"

Xia Simeng hung up the communicator, rubbed her forehead, and her lips twitched.

Hongying steadily carried a large pot of noodles into the house, her eyes smiling, and said, "Simeng, time to eat. Su Yan and Qiye stayed in a mental hospital before. The environment there was particularly gloomy, which left a shadow in their hearts, so they are a little afraid of ghosts. But don't worry, when it really comes down to it, they will definitely not let you down."

As for Baili Pangpang, he's just a complete coward.

"I'm not worried about them, but the images are a bit too much for my eyes."

Xia Si's face showed disdain, but after taking the chopsticks from Hong Ying, her expression turned serious, and she spoke in a solemn tone:

“Hongying, since you have done so much for me, I will keep my promise. Next, I will tell you the detailed information of the other two [ghosts] without reservation. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask.”

"Then you're going to lose. After all, excluding the instability of the [S] mission, I have one more mission than you."

Xia Simeng directly raised her hand to interrupt Hongying, a smile on her face, her tone carefree:

"Whether you can find it or not is another matter. Besides, I don't want to be the commander at all. I can't live without the Phoenix Squad, and the Phoenix Squad can't live without me. The reason I got involved in this competition is because I'm afraid that Commander Ye's hard work of more than ten years will end up in the hands of some unreliable people."

Xia Simeng chatted casually with Hongying as if no one else was around, revealing all the dirty deeds done by some of the Night Watch's higher-ups.

E.g,

Tang, a 61-year-old male, was keeping two female college students as mistresses.

Hua, a 73-year-old male, is keeping three male college students as mistresses.

Hongying blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes, her originally normal expression gradually turning blank.

Xia Simeng let out a cold snort and said coldly:

"They may all be heroes on the battlefield, but who can say for sure what kind of people they are in private? So, don't put that unrealistic halo of worship on them. I participated in this competition precisely to dispel those unrealistic fantasies of some people."

"Now it seems that Commander Ye had made thorough arrangements, so I am relieved. As for why I am doing my best to hunt down this immortal, it is because two years ago, I personally promised to seek justice for that survivor."

Xia Simeng, picking out noodles, confided in Hongying about her situation.

"So you must do everything you can to take the position of commander. Shao Pingge and I are actually your backup and insurance. Only if you fail will we do our best to compete for it."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, we need to get down to business."

Xia Simeng put down her chopsticks, organized her thoughts, and slowly began to speak:

"Two years ago, I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and led a team to conduct a meticulous search in the capital for two whole months. You already know about the matter related to the Ouija board, so let's leave that aside for now. Next, I want to focus on the situation of the ghost baby."

"At that time, I traveled to almost every corner of Shangjing City, visited all the elderly people who might know the inside story, read through a huge amount of materials, and sorted out a lot of related information."

"Among them, the earliest record of the ghost baby shows that it was born forty-seven years ago, when the commander of the capital was the second commander, Li Kengqiang."

"During the four months that Li Kengqiang was in charge of the capital, the city was shrouded in a strange smog. Sixteen pregnant women mysteriously disappeared one after another, without a trace of their lives or bodies, as if they had been completely erased from the world."

"Because of this special circumstance, a large-scale search operation was launched."

"Initially, we found nothing, but as the investigation deepened, the results were chilling. While collecting information on the missing pregnant women, reports kept coming in from all over the country. Through careful arrangement and analysis of all the clues, a terrifying pattern gradually emerged."

"It turns out that the ghost baby targets a pregnant woman every week, and the pregnant woman it targets will surely die within seven days."

"For forty-seven years, this cruel killing has never stopped. It's just that this ghost infant wandered around and killed people at will. During that time, it happened to wander to the capital, where the Night Watchmen noticed something was wrong."

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

As women ourselves, we deeply understand the hardships and difficulties of ten months of pregnancy.

Just imagine, the moment when you and your beloved best friend nurture the fruit of your friendship together is such a happy and sacred one. It should be a precious moment when you are cherished and blessed by your family, but instead, it brings about your death.

"This ghost baby is utterly depraved and inhuman!" a woman from the Phoenix Squad said through gritted teeth.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!" Kong Shang, his eyes wide with rage, exclaimed.

Xia Simeng waved her hand, "Don't interrupt, let me finish. Back then, Li Kengqiang knew that the ghost infant was extremely dangerous, so he invited a master and used some special methods to seal the ghost infant's activity range firmly within the capital."

"Moreover, for the next forty-seven years, there was a small team that did nothing but keep a close eye on it. It was because of this that the frequency of the ghost baby's crimes was curbed."

"But who could have imagined that just a few days ago, the squad leader was suddenly murdered, and this ghost baby started to become active again, and the entire capital is probably going to be plunged into terror once again."

Hongying pressed her lips tightly together, suppressing her anger.

"Is this squad also a special squad?"

"Although they are not, they are indeed very special, and people have given them names spontaneously."

"【Demon Slayer】".

……

Xia Simeng handed the USB drive to Hongying and said earnestly:

"Although we failed to find the ghost baby at the time, we were fortunate enough to find two survivors, and the relevant details are included in this collection of information."

"I want to emphasize to you that you must have sufficient personnel when investigating this incident."

“This ghost infant is significantly different from the Ouija board spirit. The Ouija board spirit is elusive but not very powerful, while this ghost infant is extremely troublesome. More than forty years ago, it fought fiercely against the Beijing team and was not at a disadvantage. Its level of danger is extremely high, and you must pay close attention to it.”

Hongying nodded solemnly.

(P.S.: A conscientious author reminds you that there's a ghost in the next chapter, but it's not scary, unless you're as timid as a sesame seed~)
