As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
“Tsk, my phone is about to die.”
Xia Yan lay comfortably on the long bench in the church hall, having been on his phone for almost the entire afternoon.
“Shouldn’t these fallen angels be nocturnal creatures? Why aren’t they resting in the church during the day?”
Xia Yan looked around the church with a rather displeased expression.
Besides him, there was no one else in the church.
It meant his entire afternoon had been wasted.
Add to that the fact that his phone was down to 20% battery, Xia Yan had no patience to stay here anymore.
The only reason he could wait in the church for an entire afternoon was because of his phone.
Now that his phone was dead, Xia Yan was not interested in staying in this pitch-black church.
Was he supposed to spend the night here?
He had a luxurious suite in the hotel but was going to sleep on a bench here? Xia Yan didn’t have that kind of fetish.
“Next time I come here, I’ll install some surveillance cameras.”
Xia Yan decided in his heart.
The method of waiting for the rabbit to come to the hole was obviously a waste of time.
Since it wasn’t working, he would have to change his approach.
Xia Yan didn’t know any demonic magic, so he would use modern technology instead.
Sometimes, these inanimate objects of modern technology might be more convenient than magic surveillance.
After all, this stuff was inanimate, and didn’t have any demonic aura.
Fallen angels, who relied on magic to judge, might not be able to detect it immediately.
Even if they were detected and destroyed, it didn’t matter.
At least it would confirm the fallen angels’ presence.
Then, Xia Yan could rush over immediately.
Looking at the church that was now shrouded in darkness, Xia Yan got up and prepared to leave.
Because it had been abandoned for a long time, there were no streetlights on the way down the mountain, so he could only walk in the dark.
Fortunately, Xia Yan possessed the fire of the Phoenix, holding a flame in his hand, illuminating the path down.
After going down the mountain, Xia Yan extinguished the flame in his hand. There were streetlights down here, so he didn’t need the flame anymore.
There were not many residents around, only the lights of a few houses were lit.
It was exceptionally quiet.
As for the taxi driver earlier, he had left after waiting for half an hour without seeing Xia Lin.
Now, besides Xia Yan, no one else could be seen on the road.
“Looks like I’ll have to walk back.”
Xia Yan shook his head.
Fortunately, although it was in the suburbs, it was not that far from the city center.
He could see the bustling buildings after walking for about ten minutes.
It was just too quiet.
It would make anyone anxious if they walked along this road for too long.
After all, this was a suburb, with fewer residents and more trees.
It was a dark, oppressive mass at night, endlessly profound, making people feel like something might suddenly appear from the woods.
“Beep! Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a random task.”
“Random task generating… ”
“Random task generated, please check it yourself.”
Suddenly, the system’s prompt sounded in Xia Yan’s mind.
He opened the task panel in his consciousness.
Random Task: Defeat the Lost Demon.
Task Content: A Lost Demon is stealthily following you, please defeat it.
Task Reward: 10,000 Dimensional Points.
“Although there is an old saying that you will encounter ghosts if you walk on a dark road for too long, but I’ve only been in Juwang Town for two days, and I’ve only walked on a dark road once.”
Looking at the system task’s content, Xia Yan couldn’t help but complain about his luck.
He didn’t encounter a fallen angel, but instead encountered this kind of Lost Demon.
Fortunately, the system was pretty generous and triggered a random task.
“But where is the Lost Demon?”
Xia Yan became more vigilant.
He was not sure about the Lost Demon’s strength, although he had the somewhat overpowered ability of the Phoenix Fire, he couldn’t be too careless.
After all, even pureblood Phoenix Demons could flip the table.
Not to mention, he was just a human with a part of the Phoenix’s power.
“Over there?”
Xia Yan looked around, but couldn’t see any figures, only the woods beside him could hide someone.
“Get out!”
Xia Yan shouted towards the woods.
The next moment, there was a rustling sound from the woods, and a huge black shadow leaped out from it, landing about five meters away from Xia Yan.
“You have some guts, hiding near the church.”
Xia Yan looked at the Lost Demon that had jumped out, and made a sarcastic comment.
Of course, he wasn’t wrong.
Churches were always the places demons hated the most.
“Human, you think this is a good idea, right? Isn’t there an old saying? The most dangerous place is the safest place. I just chose the most dangerous place, no one would think of it.”
The Lost Demon looked a bit grotesque, but it looked very intelligent, without any confusion.
Its upper body was still human, but its lower body had become like a monster, very large, looking very terrifying, making people involuntarily get goosebumps.
Xia Yan: “…”
This demon was quite cultured.
But, if you say it’s fat, it’s still breathing hard.
I just teased you a bit, and you took it seriously.
I wonder how many fallen angels have occupied this church?
Aren’t they afraid of them blowing your ashes away?
“I hid so well, how did you, a human, find me?”
The Lost Demon’s smug expression instantly changed, glaring fiercely at Xia Yan, as if he was very resentful that Xia Yan had ruined his masterpiece.
“Just a self-righteous fool.”
Xia Yan mocked.
Of course, he couldn’t say that it was the system that gave the hint.
“Human, you seem very smart, I love eating smart humans.”
The Lost Demon didn’t get angry at all, but instead looked at Xia Yan very excitedly, as if it had seen some delicious food and was drooling.
“I can become smarter after eating your brain, and then I can make those fools dance around!”
The Lost Demon stared expectantly at Xia Yan’s head, seemingly eager to pry open Xia Yan’s skull.
Xia Yan: “…”
Alright, confirmed.
This Lost Demon seemed a bit dimwitted.
