Chapter 898: The Terrified Human Traffickers

The carnival of demons was about to begin upon the encroaching darkness.

The human traffickers had no idea how dangerous the child that they had with them was.

All they wanted to do now was to find an inn where they could check in without the registration of an identity card. They could then order delivery, have a proper meal, and take a good rest. However, they would need to drug these two goods before they split up and acted separately.

However, they did not expect that the woman with Baili Shangxie in her arms suddenly seemed possessed when they entered the room. A cloud of dark mist shrouded her face, and seemed to seep into her body, little by little.

“Ah! ” The excruciating pain caused the woman to throw Baili Shangxie away immediately.

Her eyes were fixed on the child, as if she had something to say, but it was too late. The dark mist had penetrated her eyes and sucked the life out of her completely.

There were hardly any warning signs before her death. In a mere second, she had collapsed onto the ground, stiff and lifeless!

Baili Shangxie was standing right in front of her. His black, short hair was still sticking up as he had just woken up and his expression was extremely cool. Licking his thin lips in a cruel and bloodthirsty manner, he smirked evilly as though unsatisfied with the taste of something.

The woman’s shrieks caught everyone’s attention, which was why the human traffickers failed to notice Baili Shangxie’s abnormality.

On the other hand, Little Qingchen was awakened by the noise. As he raised his small hands to rub his large eyes, he turned his head to look at Baili Shangxie, who was a child as well. His eyebrow furrowed, as he finally understood Baili Shangxie’s true identity. He was a soul-devouring demon.

However, he had never seen a demon of his age before.

The demons would not usually show itself under normal circumstances.

Over the years, they had perfectly blended into human life and settled well, just like the Blood Tribe.

In fact, they lived more extravagantly and lavishly than humans, as most of them were from the noble families of various countries. The more elegant they were, the more it would conform to their nobility.

Aesthetics was said to be the only thing that the demons would pursue in life.

Even when they ate, they would have a smile on their face, decorous and mannerly without the slightest rudeness.

Baili Shangxie in front of him was the same as well. This made Little Qingchen feel extremely curious and really wanted to bring him home to raise.

However, he was not sure if Beauty Wei Wei would agree to let him keep a little demon around.

She would allow me, right?

Little Qingchen rubbed his petite face again, the way he did it resembled a small squirrel. Every time he woke up, he would be slightly dazed and could only completely regain his senses after blinking his huge eyes a few times. Now was not the time to think about demon-raising issues, but to stop this inhuman demon from feasting.

He stretched out his small hand and grabbed Baili Shangxie’s wrist and shook his head twice, it was a rather cute expression.

Baili Shangxie was not full yet, but after seeing his self-proclaimed little sidekick awake, he took a moment to show his concern and said, “Where did you buy the chocolate cake that you’re eating?”

It seemed that his concern was for the chocolate cake, instead of his little sidekick.

The mention of the chocolate cake had strengthened Little Qingchen’s decision of not letting these human traffickers be killed completely. In spite of that, it did not affect his conversation with the little demon, who looked slightly older than him. He replied, “I didn’t buy it. My mother made it for me.”

“Oh.” Baili Shangxie had lived in the modern era for quite some time, but he had never felt the urge to look for his mother, until now. This feeling became even more intense, especially when Little Qingchen said that his mother made the chocolate cake for him. The little demon seemed slightly lonely when he heard the response.

Of course, Baili Shangxie’s way of expressing his loneliness was very different. As he raised his eyelids and squinted his big, crimson eyes, he walked toward another man. It appeared that he was about to have his next meal.

Like a flash, Little Qingchen swiftly blocked in front of him. His expression was lovely, as he whispered in his ears, “We must keep them, so that their leaders can be wiped out too.”

As soon as Little Qingchen reminded him, Baili Shangxie recalled the piece of chocolate cake that he did not manage to grab. His eyes instantly filled with malice and his voice was cool, as he uttered, “I see.” He would keep them alive indeed, but not for long definitely.

Under such circumstances, the human traffickers were too exhausted to bother what the two little ones were talking about.

They were scared to death now.

The scene just now was beyond their common knowledge and understanding.

The muscular man reached out his shaky hand, to check whether the woman on the ground was still breathing.

Another woman immediately pulled his hand back and whispered angrily, “Don’t touch her! It’s not clean! It must be something dirty in this inn! It must be!”

Her voice was hoarse as she spoke. This was the sign of a certain level of fear, as a normal person would not behave like this.

The man in blue had cold sweat on his forehead, but he was obviously different from the two human traffickers since he was professionally trained. He growled quietly at them, “Calm down!”

Someone next door was knocking on the wall, probably because they were too noisy. They had never encountered any of these situations in their previous tasks.

The sudden death of someone in the middle of the task could be very troubling for them.

As the man thought about it, he extended his hand and massaged his eyebrows. It seemed that he was having a terrible headache.

The woman was still trembling and wanted to leave the place desperately. She kept on thinking that there were some evil spirits in this inn, thus she did not relate the gruesome murder to the children.

However, the man set his probing eyes on Baili Shangxie and Helian Qingchen, whispering, “Why are these two kids so well behaved?”

He had trafficked a lot of children recently, and almost every child would cry desperately when they woke up the first time, without being quiet for a moment.

Children in this situation were most likely to trigger others’ suspicion. That was the reason they took a rest at the inn before resuming their journey, instead of boarding the train.

The children would be hungry and exhausted after crying for some time, and would settle down then.

This was a common method used by human traffickers.

He had already prepared a cotton cloth to gag them. After all, the scene at the kindergarten made him feel rather uneasy.

To his surprise, they turned out to be the quietest. Looking carefully at those little faces, they seemed inexplicably pale.

“They must have been frightened.” The woman was babbling with a quivering voice, “Children are psychic and they can see supernatural things that other people can’t. Something’s wrong with this inn, it must be!”

The man simply sneered, “So what even if there are supernatural things? Don’t forget who’s the one behind us. I’ve told you guys previously that the transaction this time is a huge one. The master will do it himself, so why should you guys be afraid of ghosts! It’s nothing but some evil aura. When we meet the master, everything will be fine. It’s good to have some ghosts around too, at least they can keep the kids quiet.”

The woman did not expect her companion to have such guts. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

The man waved and said, “Enough, stop screaming now. Just drag the person on the floor and hide her under the bed. Let’s get prepared before we leave. We still have four hours to go before the check-out. Four hours later, someone will come and knock on the door. The inn will not find out anything for the time being, but we can’t continue staying here anymore. So, let’s just follow our original plan. You and Xiao Wang will be on the same line, and I will be on another line alone. We will send these two goods away separately.”

As soon as Baili Shangxie heard that he would be separated from the sidekick whom he wanted to keep, his crimson eyes turned menacingly cold.

To Baili Shangxie, Little Qingchen was his countless pieces of chocolate cakes.

That person had already knocked out half of his chocolate cake. Now, he even dared to steal all his future chocolate cakes from him.

Baili Shangxie sneered in his heart, and the lamp above him seemed to have sensed something, as it started to make a buzzing static sound.

The woman and the muscular man were already uneasy, so their eyes widened in horror when they witnessed what was happening.

However, the whole room was suddenly plunged into utter darkness before they could even let out a scream.

For a moment, the woman felt a gush of cold wind sweeping past her, but she could not see anything at all in the total darkness.

She slumped to the floor and her voice was cracking in fear as she yelled, “Haunted, it is really haunted!”

“Nonsense! The circuit breaker has tripped!” The man in blue reacted quickly by taking his mobile phone and shone it to the side. Then, he restored the power by pushing the switch up.

The room finally turned bright again.

The woman heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw the muscular man beside her lying stiffly on the ground. He looked exactly the same as the woman who died after they entered the room.

She reached out and grabbed the man’s sleeve as she could no longer contain her fear anymore, frantically saying, “We can’t stay here anymore. We must go! Let’s bring the kids and leave this place immediately. Why don’t we just take the same train since we are heading to the same destination? No matter what, we must get out of here! If you want to stay, suit yourself, but I’m leaving anyway!”

“Take it easy!” The man said so, but his back was completely drenched in sweat. The inn was extremely bizarre, and they had to disguise themselves as a couple to avoid any trouble. Leaving together would be the best since the woman did not have much trafficking experience. Having that in mind, he shoved the muscular man underneath the bed and anxiously said, “Let’s take the same train. Each of us takes one child. Come, let’s go now!”

The woman, of course, could not wait to check out immediately. Without saying a word, she bent down and held Little Qingchen.

Little Qingchen was very cooperative though and merely peered at Baili Shangxie in the man’s arm, the idea of raising a little demon intensifying in his mind. Involuntarily, he extended his little hand and patted Baili Shangxie’s head…
