I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Chapter 125: The Terrifying Ling Pingan

After dinner, Ling Pingan was bored as he watched the news.

“The cabinet spokesman said at the press conference later this afternoon that the federal people and the Nanyang people have a firm friendship and long-term close relationship!”

“The central cabinet will do its best to provide assistance and support to the people affected by the disaster in the Nanyang Region!”

One could tell from this tone that the cabinet meeting this morning did not approve the motion to immediately send troops to assist in the disaster relief.

Otherwise, it would not be just verbal news.

Ling Pingan shook his head and turned off the television.

These national affairs were too far away from him, so he did not want to care about them. He only wanted to grumble about them.

“The Gonghe party’s members are all stingy!” said Ling Pingan.

In contrast, the ones in the Datong party were all prodigals!

That was how most of the neutral voters viewed both of the mainstream thoughts of the parties in the Federal Empire.

One was glorious isolation, and the other was love and the world.

It had been the same for two hundred years.

But the people were complicated.

Like Ling Pingan, he wanted to be a kind person, but he didn’t want to waste the country’s power.

That posed a difficult problem for the rulers: How to choose between both?

Fortunately, there was a tradition in the federal empire since ancient times, moderation!

Neither side was impartial, neither group nor party.

Therefore, when it came to foreign affairs, most of the time, the federal hub would adopt a compromise plan.

That way, they could not only answer to the Gonghe party but also give the Datong Party a sense of moral satisfaction.

“Let’s go on an adventure tonight!” He walked to the door with the kitten, Bastet in his arms, and pulled down the shutter.

He took out his phone and looked at it. It was 7:15 pm.

He locked the door of the shop, then walked into the distance with the kitten in his arms.

He had already checked and found that there was no such place as Pan Garden on the map of his phone.

It was as if there was no such place in Jiangcheng city.

But through the search software, he found information about Pan Garden on the web page. It was a residential area about seven or eight years ago.

The name was Pan Garden residential area.

It was an old-fashioned residential area that had been developed for more than twenty years and belonged to the collective residential area of Jiangcheng Transportation Company.

Later, the Transportation Company moved to the south of the city, and all the employees moved along with it.

The area was abandoned. All the hundreds of families in the neighborhood also moved along with them.

Ling Pingan found the answer on the website of the Municipal Department of Jiangcheng City. Eight years ago, the Jiangcheng City Council announced that they would build a high-speed railway station in the local area to meet the development and needs of the Jiangcheng City.

As for why the high-speed railway station was not built in the end.

That was unknown.

In any case, it had been abandoned just like that.

That was very normal in the federal empire!

That was because the federal empire was too big and had a lot of resources to use.

Twenty years ago, the Yangqing region of Jingchu started a large-scale campaign to return farmland to forests and lakes.

With a command from the central command, tens of millions of acres of land were directly returned to nature.

Therefore, it was not unusual for a small village to be abandoned in Jiangcheng. Even the huge industrial park in front of Ling Pingan’s house had been relocated!

However, Ling Pingan found a lot of nervous comments from netizens on the internet.

Some said that there was panorama events there, while others said that it was the entrance to Hell.

Some conspiracy theorists said that it was an alien base.

Anyway, there were all kinds of theories.

Ling Pingan looked at it and shrugged. “tsk!”

He put away his phone and scratched his head. “How am I going to go there?”

For someone with poor directions like him, the best way was to take a taxi.

Just then, at a bus stop not far away from him, there was a taxi waiting for passengers.

He walked over, opened the door, and sat in the co-driver seat. He said to the driver, “Sir, to the gas station on Huancheng Road, thank you!”

The driver was a young man wearing a vest for Jiangcheng volunteer service. When he heard Ling Pingan’s voice, he immediately smiled. “Okay! The gas station on Huancheng Road!”

Then, he started the car and drove out of the platform.

“Young master…” as he drove, he asked, “Why are you going to such a remote place at night?”

“To play!” Ling Pingan answered with a smile.

“Oh…” the driver said, “That place is very remote. A few years ago, when live streaming was popular, some outdoor streamers went there to explore…”

“Not recently!” He seemed to miss the days when the live streaming was hot.

“That’s how capital is!” Ling Pingan answered with a smile, “If there’s money to be earned, they will go all the way. If there’s no money to be earned, they will run faster than anyone else!”

“That’s true!” The driver smiled and asked, “By the way, how are you going to come back later?”

“There aren’t any cars over there!”

Ling Pingan was also stunned.

That’s right!

How was he going to come back?

On foot?

Ling Pingan felt that it was somewhat impossible.

Because he would get lost!

“Young master, how long will you be spending your time there?” The driver asked.

“Maybe an hour or two…” Ling Pingan said, “I’m just going to take a look!”

“Isn’t there a Pan Garden over there?”

“I heard it’s quite fun…”

“It’s quite fun…” the driver answered embarrassedly, “It is quite fun…”

He could not help but look at the rearview mirror. Sitting there was an ordinary and normal young man. He was holding a kitten. No matter how he looked at him, he did not seem to match the terms “super target” mentioned by the superiors.

“That’s how the big city works, isn’t it?” He thought in his heart and said, “How about I wait for you at the gas station…”

“I’ll drive you back when you want to go back!”

“That’s very kind of you.” Ling Pingan said.

“Hey!” The driver pointed at his vest. “I’m a volunteer!”

“If you make things easy for others, others will make things easy for you!”

“Thank you so much!” Ling Pingan immediately felt respectful towards the driver!

In the Federal Empire, volunteers had a high social status and were respected by people. After all, most of the volunteers were people who works for the benefit of others. They were good people and gentlemen.

“You’re welcome!” The driver said with a smile.

… … … ..

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at a deserted gas station in the suburbs.

Ling Pingan got out of the car and said to the driver sitting in the driver’s seat, “Thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome!” The driver said with a smile.

Ling Pingan thanked him again, and then he held the kitten, Bastet, as he walked along with the street lights in front. At the same time, he took out his phone and looked at the path on the web page.

“Go straight south from the gas station and turn left at an old bridge…” he walked slowly and arrived at an antique-looking stone bridge.

“Turn left!” He could still distinguish the left from the right, so he walked down a small path on the left.

There were no streetlights there. Fortunately, Ling Pingan brought a flashlight. He turned on the power and lit up the path in front of him.

It was a quiet cement road. The road had been out of maintenance for a long time and was full of potholes.

He walked down and soon saw two abandoned cars parked by the side of the road.

There was a road sign behind the car. The paint on it was almost gone, but the words ‘Pan Garden’ could still be vaguely seen.

He continued to walk about five hundred meters forward and saw rows of old buildings.

Ling Pingan picked up the flashlight and shone it over.

He saw an old courtyard wall filled with creepers.

They brought back a familiar feeling to Ling Pingan when he saw them.

That was because this type of old-fashioned courtyard wall often appeared in his life when he was young.

At that time, the enterprises in the industrial park near his home were still thriving.

There was an endless stream of workers coming and going to work.

At night, the surrounding kids would gather in groups and play among the factory buildings in the industrial park.

Some of the naughty children would take the lead to climb up the factory wall, slip down the wall, slip into the closed production workshop, and take some things out and make them into toys.

The children did not have any malicious intentions.

They just thought it was fun, or that it was cool.

Moreover, they usually would not destroy the factory’s machinery.

They just took out some production scraps or waste materials to play with.

Therefore, the nearby factory owners turned a blind eye to the matter.

Later, a few of the kids accidentally broke their arms and legs while climbing the wall, which made them strengthened the security.

Thinking about these things, the corners of Ling Pingan’s mouth could not help but curl up.

Meow!

The kitten in his arms seemed to be a little afraid in such a dark environment. It pressed its head tightly into his arm.

Its amber cat eyes emitted a green light in the darkness.

It was shiny and beautiful!

Ling Pingan comforted the little fella, “Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid! I’m here to protect you!”

Little did he know that the amber cat’s eyes reflected the reptiles that were crawling on the courtyard wall.

Blood vessels seeped out from the reptiles’ stems and leaves.

Under the cement road on the ground, many things that looked like earthworms, but were dozens of meters long, were slowly squirming.

Even the little kitten felt a real threat.

The fur on its body stood upright like steel needles.

The claws on its four limbs were as sharp as blades.

Only when Ling Pingan gently stroked its fur did it calm down. Its fur became soft again, and the sharp claws were kept into its palm.

Meow! It stuck out its tongue and licked the back of its master’s hand.

“Good girl!” Ling Pingan looked at the obedient little fella and was very satisfied.

Ling Pingan continued to move forward and soon approached a door that had been abandoned for a very long time.

He held a flashlight and shone it over. He saw the plaque on the door. “Pan Garden!” He whispered and walked forward, gently pushing the door.

Creak! The door opened.

The flashlight shone into the door, and Ling Pingan saw a square filled with all kinds of abandoned household garbage.

He walked through the door and stepped on a completely rotten wooden board.

Crack! The wooden board was crushed.

He walked through the square and arrived in front of the building.

In front of him was the kind of tube-shaped building that belonged to the old federal state-owned units from 20 to 30 years ago.

There was no elevator, no streetlamps, and no street signs.

In front of the staircase door at the entrance, there was a long-corroded iron board with the words ‘Pan Garden, First Building, A Wing’ written on it.

There was a spider web at the entrance.

Ling Pingan reached out and cleared the spider web that was blocking the way.

“It has been at least two to three years since anyone came here!” He said, “It seems that the legends here are quite scary!”

However, as a firm materialist, Ling Pingan never believed that there were ghosts or demons in this world.

Therefore, he stepped through the door without any fear.

However, he did not see that a hidden camera in the corner of the building had already turned around.

At the same time, a few hidden drones were hovering in the sky above him. The military-grade high-definition cameras captured his every move clearly.

… … … … ..

The time was set back ten minutes.

Ling Pingan had just arrived at the courtyard wall of Pan Garden.

On the high-definition big screen of the Federal Army Command Center in Jiangcheng city, his image appeared.

Situ He looked at the image that appeared on the high-resolution night vision device of the drone.

Because the distance was very far, and they didn’t dare to get too close.

Therefore, he could only capture the figure of the target as he slowly walked along the quiet path.

However, as the target approached, the drone captured a very terrifying image.

On the courtyard wall, the vines that looked like creepers seemed to have sensed something and started to squirm.

The entire Pan Garden seemed to have been severely stimulated.

The thick liquid was seeping out of the walls, bricks, and tiles.

It was captured by the high-definition cameras on the drones.

Finally, it was displayed on the big screen.

It was blood!

Thick blood!

“What’s going on?” Situ He turned around and looked at Xia Ping sternly. “Didn’t you say that there was no psionic energy reaction there?”

“How are you going to explain these now?!”

There was no doubt that the facts before them showed that someone had set up a dark hand in the core cities of the Federal Empire!

This dark hand had concealed the truth. If not for the sudden arrival of the target tonight, the federal empire would probably not have discovered this hidden danger no matter what.

Then, the problem emerged. The other side would not spend so much effort to leave such an item in the federal empire without using it for no reason, right?

Xia Ping looked as the sweat on his forehead was dripping.

There was no doubt that he knew that he had made a grave mistake!

If the mainland was infiltrated by foreign enemies, or even used this place to do something.

Then, he and all the experts from the entire Jiangcheng city and even the entire Guangnan Governor District were to blame!

That was malfeasance!

A serious dereliction of duty!

It was a grave crime that should be sent to the Blackguard’s court!

“Situ!” At this moment, a shadow of light suddenly appeared. “Don’t blame Director Xia!”

“This is the trick of the Duke of Hell, Ivy!”

“Not to mention director Xia, even I might not be able to detect it!”

“The Devils of Hell are the best at this kind of disguise!”

Situ He saw the shadow of light and quickly saluted, “Commander in Chief!”

“Why are you here?”

“I’m still in the Beizhou…” the shadow of light said, “I’m using a spiritual artifact left in the Guangnan area to descend with my soul…”

“I can only maintain it for ten minutes…”

“So, I’ll focus on the mission!”

The light looked at the big screen and saw Ling Pingan pushing open the door of Pan Garden and walking in.

At this time, the Blackguard’s cameras that had been installed at several angles in Pan Garden turned at the same time and shot from multiple angles.

At the same time, the camera of the drone that was secretly following in the sky also sent back images.

Thus, the high-definition images that were taken from different angles were displayed on the big screen.

Situ He, Xia Ping, and the shadow of light saw clearly that when the target stepped into the door of Pan Garden, a monster with a triangular head emerged from the ground. Its head seemed to be wrapped in some thick liquid.

Then…

The target stepped on its head.

The monster was completely crushed.

But the target did not even look at it, as if it had just stepped on a bug!

No!

Even humans would still have feelings after stepping on a bug.

The feeling the target gave everyone was that it had just stepped on a piece of junk that was not worth mentioning.

The rest of the high-definition photos were sent back one after another.

The target was holding his pet, the suspected cat goddess, Bastet. He continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

And behind him, the monster with the triangular head had disappeared with not even a dust of him left.

Only a little bit of corrosive gas rose from the ground and then quickly dissipated.

The target continued to move forward, taking step by step. Layers of cracks appeared on the surface of the ground, and wisps of green smoke kept spewing out from the cracks in the ground. Obviously, wherever he walked past, all the monsters were strangled to death by some force.

Then, an even more terrifying scene appeared on the big screen. The flashlight held by the target shone on the brick wall of Pan Garden where thick blood was flowing out.

Under the shine of the flashlight, green smoke rose in spirals.

The entire Pan Garden seemed to have been severely injured, and it let out a mournful howl.

Some cameras even captured a few monsters of unknown shapes. Under the bright light of the flashlight, they screamed miserably as they evaporated.

Situ He gulped. At the same time, he could not help but touch the flashlight in his arms.

Only now did he understand that the flashlight was not only a pass but also proof.

It was also a treasure with endless power!

A treasure that was comparable to the legendary God’s artifact!

With just shining the light, the monsters were reduced to ashes!

It was so terrifying!
