Chapter 14: The Nameless Shadow Department

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhan Jingtian was now the chairman of the Zhan family’s company, and he was in charge of all the big and small matters in the Shadow Department. The Shadow Department was privately nurtured by the Zhan family. They were usually responsible for carrying out assassination missions, collecting all kinds of intelligence, and protecting the safety of the entire Zhan family. The people in the Shadow Department were personally selected by every Shadow Department manager and nurtured from a young age. They were nameless, and they were all addressed by code names.

Every member of the Shadow Department had been carefully selected. They had fine bones, superb martial arts, and excellent skills. Both men and women maintained almost identical height and weight, and extremely ordinary faces that were not easily noticed for the convenience of doing things. Each one of them here could match a team of elite killers.

Zhan Jinghong smiled and said coldly, “Tell him to come back now.”

“Alright, I’ll call Second Young Master now.” The bodyguard nodded. Although Zhan Jingtian was the manager of the Shadow Department on the surface, everyone in the Shadow Department knew the weight of Zhan Jinghong’s words. If he asked Second Young Master to come back now, the other party would have to put down everything he was doing and rush back.

Zhan Jinghong did not believe in coincidences, let alone so-called fate. He wanted Zhan Jingtian to investigate the identity of the woman who had interacted with him last night. He also wanted to see what her intentions were.

…

At night, the quiet sky of Qingbei University was suddenly covered in a white fog.

The fog enveloped the entire quiet campus, and the sky seemed very cold. At this moment, there was no one on the campus, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

In order to let Hu Yuting stay, Lu Yao told her that she had gone for a fortune-telling session this morning. The fortune-teller said that she would probably encounter a bloody disaster tonight. She was afraid and wanted the other party to stay with her.

Hu Yuting was very interested in metaphysics to begin with. Coupled with the fact that the two of them had a good relationship, she agreed without any hesitation. At this moment, the two of them were lying in the dormitory.

Hu Yuting was lying on the iron bed in school, sleeping soundly. Lu Yao was lying on the bed opposite her, her eyes closed as well. Her breathing was shallow, as if she had also fallen asleep. The small night lamp beside the two of them was emitting a faint yellow light. The bright moonlight seeped in from the window and reflected on the ground. The house was very quiet.

A strange wind suddenly blew and hit the window that was ajar. Lu Yao slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and lively, not like she had been woken from sleep.

The wind howled, and the banging on the window grew louder. Hu Yuting, who was sleeping soundly, was a little impatient. She turned around and muttered, “How annoying.” With that, she turned around and fell asleep again.

Lu Yao sat up and stared at the window in front of her with a burning gaze, but she found nothing. At that moment, the wind suddenly lifted the window. A shadow, almost as tall as the ceiling, descended on the window and blocked the faint moonlight.

Lu Yao closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were covered in golden light, and her originally pure and clean face had become a little flirtatious. She didn’t have time to put on her shoes. She quickly went barefoot and squatted by the window to watch the monster outside.

The thing outside the window did not notice Lu Yao in front of the window. Its huge and clumsy body slowly moved its feet and walked towards Hu Yuting. Lu Yao stared at it and finally saw its terrifying appearance as it approached.

The huge, dark shadow leaned against the window. It was covered in six dark, hairy feet. On the huge, dark body was a pale, upside-down face. Its muddy, dark eyes were half-closed. Its thick, twisted mouth moved uneasily. Sharp teeth were bared.

Lu Yao looked at its mouth that was constantly squirming and the sticky liquid left behind. She knew in her heart that this was the spider demon that was recorded in the ancient books.

It was different from the image recorded in the book. It had a pale and terrifying human face, and it was more than twice as big, as if it was a product of some hybridization.

The spider demon barged into the house and quickly moved its six legs towards Hu Yuting, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Its goal was clear.

Seeing that the six hairy spider feet were about to touch the unaware Hu Yuting, Lu Yao picked up the lamp on the desk without hesitation and threw it at the monster in front of her. Dong! The lamp hit the spider demon with a muffled sound. This little force was nothing to the monster in front of her. However, it still turned around abruptly and faced Lu Yao with a pale face. The displeasure and killing intent in its eyes were obvious.
