Chapter 392: Kaluoer’s Longing

Huang Feng.

At thirty-nine years old, with gray streaks in his hair, he appeared to be just an ordinary middle-aged man with a plain face.

He was a Night Watcher of the Demon Hunt General Agency, having served for fifteen years, completing numerous missions, both big and small. Even among the many Night Watchers in the Demon Hunt General Agency, he stood out with his “awakening level” abilities, making him a higher-ranking member.

In the eyes of most of his colleagues, Huang Feng was an excellent agent, someone worthy of trust.

However, Kaluoer from Hidden Azure knew that the man in front of her had actually been replaced. He had long ceased to be the Night Watcher he once was.

Kaluoer walked calmly in the dimension of nothingness, silently observing “Huang Feng” in the material world of reality.

“Huang Feng” was on his way home, completely unaware of being followed.

The dimension of nothingness was a unique spatial realm where Kaluoer could instantly arrive after being granted the mystical power “vanishing into the void” by the Savior.

Except for Kaluoer herself, there was no one in the dimension of nothingness. However, all the buildings and objects in this dimension were exactly the same as those in the real world.

In the distance, the dimension of nothingness was always surrounded by a white mist, the biggest difference from the real world.

Kaluoer could observe everything happening in the real world from within the dimension of nothingness.

However, as soon as she attempted to intervene, she would be bounced out of the dimension.

Even so, this “perfect invisibility” ability was still very suitable for Kaluoer’s powerful skills.

The Savior of Babel Tower, Bai Yan, had received Mu Ling’s request and quickly agreed to collaborate with the representative of the Leaf King, Advisor Ringi.

After agreeing, the task assigned to Babel Tower was to investigate the Night Watchers who had been replaced in the past few days. Within three days, they needed to uncover the mastermind behind it and discover the truth.

Time was running out—they only had three days!

Advisor Ringi of the Leaf King had made a promise: if Babel Tower completed this task, the warrant against them would be lifted.

“At the same time, we will also reveal to you which member of the ‘Rainbow’ has been targeting Babel Tower all along.”

It was vital for the members of Babel Tower to have the warrant lifted. After all, not everyone wanted to live in constant hiding.

Whether it was Mu Ling, Alan, or Maryse, none of them truly wanted to be enemies with the official Air Alliance, especially Alan.

And knowing about the enemies behind the scenes was incredibly important for Bai Yan.

Though, deep down, he probably already had a sense of who they were. But knowing the exact answer was still crucial.

Kaluoer stood silently in the room, watching the life of Huang Feng and his wife. They seemed to be deeply in love.

As soon as Huang Feng’s wife saw him open the door and come in, she immediately smiled and embraced him, and they kissed for a long time.

“You finally came back, that’s great… Actually, I’ve been worried all along, afraid that one day you won’t come back.”

A smile appeared on Huang Feng’s face.

“How could it be? You’ve been saying that for over ten years, and each time, I’ve always come home. It’s just that I always have to work overtime, causing you to worry. I’m truly sorry.”

“It’s good that you’re back… Before, I used to think of asking you to quit this dangerous job, but later I realized that I was being too selfish.”

Kaluoer silently observed everything.

“Huang Feng” was not the real Huang Feng, but rather a replaced entity.

As for what exactly replaced the real Huang Feng, even the Demon Hunt General Agency wasn’t entirely sure. Perhaps it was the enchantment of prophecy set up in the White Tower that made the Agency realize that their Night Watcher was no longer the same person.

Kaluoer pondered.

She continued watching their every move, noting that “Huang Feng’s” behavior was exactly the same as the one described in the records she had read. The Demon Hunt General Agency had shared the daily reports of the three replacements with Babel Tower.

So, this entity before her, though it appeared to be Huang Feng, and every action mirrored him, was not truly the man he once was.

Kaluoer felt puzzled.

However… it didn’t matter.

Her task was simply to uncover the truth about Huang Feng.

So, she decided to continue keeping watch.

In truth, investigative work was not Kaluoer’s forte.

She was not accustomed to being an investigator.

Although Kaluoer had the perfect abilities for investigation, she had never actually carried out any investigation tasks before. There was only one thing she had been doing… killing people.

The Mercury Ball was not an organization for gathering intelligence, but rather a group of assassins. While there were people who gathered information, “Hidden Azure” truly existed for the purpose of slaughter.

Thus, Kaluoer didn’t know how to investigate and could only silently observe Huang Feng’s every move.

For some unknown reason, Kaluoer felt a hint of anger deep within her heart.

The closer she saw their relationship, the more uncomfortable Kaluoer felt… because deep down, she knew the real Huang Feng was likely already gone.

That woman loved him dearly, unaware that he had already passed away, and instead, she was being manipulated by something—most likely the culprit behind it all.

All the interactions and affection between them felt like nothing more than a “tragedy.”

Kaluoer tilted her head slightly, feeling confused. Was she really getting angry because of this?

Her emotions were awakening. Deep down, Kaluoer understood this, but she was still surprised that she could feel anger over someone else’s matters.

“I’m becoming less like myself,” she murmured to herself.

After witnessing the love between the couple for one night, Kaluoer squatted silently in the dimension of nothingness. She took out a small pendant from her pocket.

It was a silver pendant, not a relic, but a pricey piece of craftsmanship.

It looked exceptionally exquisite, with a gem at the center of the pendant emitting a gentle, shimmering blue light.

This was something Mr. Edmond had given to her.

Kaluoer still remembered its origin. She had lingered outside a luxurious shop for a while, and Mr. Edmond went and bought it for her.

She had even taken the initiative to put it on herself.

At that moment, the people in the shop looked at her with envy.

Then, at Tulip Manor, all the maids except Dai suddenly began to respect her.

They said the value of the pendant was exaggerated, enough to buy one-fifth of Tulip Manor. If the master gave her such a thing, it must be an engagement token!

“So, from now on, you will be the owner of Tulip Manor. Even though we have a good relationship with you, we are still just servants…”

“Really?”

At that time, Kaluoer didn’t believe it, so she went to ask Dai.

Dai confirmed that it was an expensive treasure reported in the newspapers. If the master had no intentions toward her, it would be impossible for him to buy such a valuable thing.

Kaluoer pondered: Was Mr. Edmond implying that she should repay him with her body?

In reality, Bai Yan hadn’t thought that much about it at all.

Since he had the “Cybertyrant,” he had so much money that he couldn’t even spend it all. Gradually, he lost the true meaning of money.

If he noticed something Kaluoer liked, why not buy it for her?

It was one of the few things Kaluoer had shown interest in for years, so it held significance.

Kaluoer gently touched the silver pendant in her hand, recalling her time with the master. The task of surveillance didn’t seem so boring anymore.

“Oh… the task is not to monitor, but to investigate, right…”

She paused for a moment, then remembered the correct task and shook her head.

What should she do? How should she investigate?

She had never done something like this before.

“How about we just directly kill this fake ‘Huang Feng’…”

Her hand lifted, and a knife emerged from her palm.

Kaluoer considered the simplest and most direct method, the one she was most familiar with.

“No,” she said firmly.

This approach wouldn’t work. The mission given by the Savior would fail, and Kaluoer felt a bit discouraged.

She had joined Babel Tower because she had lost the Mercury Ball, feeling uneasy and unsure of what to do. She felt utterly bewildered by the concept of “freedom.”

Like a dog suddenly released from its cage, she had returned to the wild.

Initially, Kaluoer thought that all she had to do at Babel Tower was simply to kill people and water flowers.

“I never expected to have such a challenging task…”

Kaluoer couldn’t think of a solution, so she started investigating the items in the void dimension, hoping to find something special in the room.

But, to search every nook and cranny, she needed to leave the void dimension and venture into the tangible world.

After a fruitless search, Kaluoer hesitated for a moment before deciding to escape the void dimension and enter the real world—Tatsumi City.

The sensations around her immediately became real.

After entering Huang Feng’s room in the material dimension, Kaluoer became extremely agile, moving silently as she searched the room.

The weary couple slept soundly, unaware of Kaluoer’s presence.

With no clues to be found, Kaluoer was on the verge of disappointment. But then, she discovered something extraordinary.

The extraordinary thing was in the bathroom.

On the ground, there was a small amount of black liquid.

Just a few drops, but it caught Kaluoer’s attention.

“Hmm?”

Kaluoer crouched down, her curiosity piqued. She extended her hand carefully, her fingers touching it gently.

Then, the black liquid began to wriggle!

Kaluoer’s heart raced in alarm.

She immediately turned around and saw that Huang Feng was standing behind her!

His blank expression and strange gaze made it clear he wasn’t human.

Without hesitation, Kaluoer activated “Vanish into Nothingness” and disappeared instantly.

“Who are you? Why did you enter my house?”

The fake Huang Feng noticed the sudden disappearance and resumed the real Huang Feng’s expression, shouting nervously.

Kaluoer quickly noticed the woman in the room starting to wake up.

In the dimension of nothingness, she hesitated but decided to return to the material world. She sprinkled sleep powder on the woman, ensuring she would stay unconscious for a few more hours.

The sleep powder, a tool of assassination, could render even extraordinary beings unconscious. For ordinary people, it was permanent.

“What are you doing!”

The faux Huang Feng rushed into the room angrily.

He appeared genuinely concerned for his wife, his anger surging as he unleashed a powerful move—Flow of Heart, Vajra.

So strong!

His arm turned as hard as steel, smashing towards Kaluoer’s head.

If it landed, even with her extraordinary physique, Kaluoer would feel dazed.

This anger made Kaluoer hesitate.

Was the “Huang Feng” in front of her just a replacement, and not the real man?

What if the Demon Hunt General Agency misinvestigated?

If she killed the wrong person, Huang Feng’s wife would lose the person she loved forever.

The hesitation lasted only for a moment.

“Hidden Azure” had become a killing machine, never letting its guard down in the face of enemies, and showing no mercy.

Without hesitation, Kaluoer regained her icy demeanor, swiftly raising a hand to block the blow. Her innate powers flared to life.

Vanished without a trace.

In the next instant, Huang Feng’s arm reverted to normal, his once-steel limb now flesh and blood.

“What happened?”

He was utterly stunned.

Meanwhile, Kaluoer’s blade had already struck Huang Feng’s face.

Her face was cold and indifferent.

“Mmm… This kind of investigation method suits me better.”

Suddenly, Huang Feng’s face cracked open.

Kaluoer instinctively stepped back, startled, but then saw something inside Huang Feng’s body.

A dark, slimy substance.

Gazing at it filled Kaluoer with an intense sense of “fear.”

It was strange—she hadn’t felt “fear” in years.

Was it the effect of its extraordinary power?

Kaluoer thought.

“Huang Feng” stood still, and the black slime wriggled inside him before emitting a loud, unsettling scream.

The enormous noise echoed through the entire street.

Kaluoer instinctively covered her wolf ears, feeling her mind grow hazy and filled with pain.

Then, the dark slime discarded Huang Feng’s body, squirming and crawling into the floor, disappearing without a trace.

Huang Feng’s body tumbled to the ground, motionless.

Kaluoer stared at him, silent for a moment.

Then, realization struck. This wasn’t just a “replacement.”

This body had once been Huang Feng’s—now possessed.
