Chapter 136: Is The Demonic Sect In The Room With Us?
"Pine Town? Never heard of it."
"There has never been any town with that name around here, young man."
"Are you sure you got the name right? Because I’ve been living here for two decades and never heard of a place called Pine Town."
Those were the standard answers they got from the townsfolk and villagers living close to Pine Town’s location.
It was as if they were the only ones who remembered the existence of the small town adjacent to the woods. The implications were horrific, to say the least.
Among the three of them, the only one who didn’t look shaken out of wit was Xuanyuan Zhou. But her calmness didn’t strike Han Xuhan as odd. He had grown used to her perfect poker face over time.

He himself was a bit too quick to give in to his emotions in his current, younger body. But the old him, the politician Hans Schwann on Earth, was just as jaded to the ups and downs in life. He had to build up that same mental fortitude once more in this life as well. But that also made him wonder...
He, a transmigrator, wasn’t able to keep his nerves under control when this young lady looked so calm. What was she relying on that gave her so much confidence?
