Chapter 614: CCXXIX. The Weaving of Fate
Life Weaving Society took on demon hunting contracts to raise me, I unleash my ultimate on the organization, Kun Lan is often called Little Beria, forgetful people keep babbling!
My fate is determined by me, not the heavens, earning a million monthly. Breakfast coffee with ox whip, Heart Garden driving one mad!
Of course, Kun Lan is quite serious, the above seven-character quatrain was inspired by Chuan Che while waiting to join Uborio and Su Yizhana for their trip to Mulong Palace, still best to follow Brother Li for the big bucks.
But it doesn’t mean Kun Lan and Chuan Che are not of the same kind, the society is always reminiscing old teachings, sweetening bitterness, preparing for the worst, turning people into madmen.
And a mission once assigned to him by the organization made him doubt the logic of the world’s operation.
Demon Hunters deal with creatures not prowled by adventurers, which are relatively rarer, like demons, evil spirits, demon beasts, all within the range, but these demons have intelligence, often more cunning and wicked than humans.
It was an influential Earl with a fief, Kun Lan tasked to purge the evil spirits in the castle.
The Earl, for confidentiality, sought out the ancient organization best at hunting demons, Life Weaving Society.
After Kun Lan’s investigation, he suspected the demon hidden in the castle was a Corpse Baby.
This cursed being, arising from abandoned infants or improperly handled stillbirths, only attacks pregnant women, eroding their life force until the victim nears death.
But Kun Lan is the highest rank of demon hunters in the organization, and deemed it likely; based on all signs, it seemed to be a Corpse Baby. Yet the one in the Earl’s castle was abnormal, not only attacking pregnant women, with intense grievances, but also indiscriminately attacking gardeners and servants in the castle.
