Chapter 758: Chapter 437: Chief Team’s Special Invitation for an Exorcist_3

So he planned to enter the room during the day, and then wait until nightfall to eliminate the strangeness and rescue Cao Heng.

In response to the dispatch of Yan Junze, the silver-haired old captain chose to trust and support him unconditionally. He immediately arranged for someone to prepare a meal to satisfy Yan Junze’s hunger first.

Considering that Yan Junze was a Semi-spirit, the captain also inquired what his main food was.

This was something Yan Junze found quite strange himself. After merging with the white long worms, he was not like the last time he became a Semi-spirit. This time, it seemed his main food had not changed at all; he still ate whatever he used to eat.

However, to the silver-haired captain, this point was even more astonishing. He thought, “A Semi-spirit that can go toe-to-toe with a five-star Exorcist is indeed impressive; even its diet can be the same as ordinary humans.”

Instead of eating candles, gnawing on clay chunks, drinking blood, sucking on hair, or biting skin…

Impressive!

After eating a bit, Yan Junze looked at the photos of Cao Heng, Gu Dekang, and Zhou Wenfei provided by Ma Jing, memorized their faces, and then left the courtyard for the one next door.

Since it was not yet dark, he pushed open the gate of the 17th courtyard by himself and walked in.

When he first arrived, he had already activated “Perception of Strange Events” to scan the area. While other minor strangenesses had appeared nearby, they were not from here.

This indicated that during the daytime, they could not be detected, and would only appear at night.

He hoped that the guy named Cao Heng could hold on until now and that he wouldn’t find him already dead when the night came and the strangeness emerged alongside.

The yard looked ordinary, and Yan Junze glanced around casually before heading towards the room where Zhou Wenfei lived.

The living room door appeared to be shut, but it actually opened with a push, as the lock was not engaged.

After Yan Junze entered, he focused his attention on the living room since Ma Jing had mentioned that Cao Heng’s screams had come from here.

The living room was simply furnished and even somewhat disordered.

Ma Jing had said that the other Exorcists and security personnel had not touched anything here, so everything remained as it was found.

He looked around as he walked towards the bedroom inside the house.

Although the curtains were drawn, he could still see the surroundings clearly.

Yan Junze tried to flip the light switch, and the light immediately came on, then he turned it off again.

Standing at the bedroom door and looking towards the bed, although the beddings were a bit messy, there was nothing unusual on top, and a smartphone lay askew next to the pillow.

Yan Junze picked up the phone to unlock it and found it required a password. The phone’s battery was still half-full, so he tossed it onto the bedside table.

He opened the wardrobe to inspect it, looked under the bed, and into the en-suite bathroom, followed by the kitchen outside the living room.

After doing a walk-through, he sat down on the living room sofa. In front of the sofa was a short coffee table with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on it, and the ashtray beside it was crammed with cigarette butts.

The room was eerily silent, so quiet it was almost excessive.

Yan Junze pulled out his phone to check the time, and according to the weather in Aries District, there was roughly an hour left before it would be dark. He then started browsing the news.

Unconsciously, he didn’t realize when he had fallen asleep, or perhaps some force had subtly coerced him into slumber.

In a daze, the rustling sound of clothes brushing reached his ears, and Yan Junze, sprawled on the sofa and sound asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

By then, it was entirely dark outside.

He noticed something wriggling behind the coffee table in front of the sofa, rising and falling, but the light inside the room was too dim for him to see clearly what it was.

Before long, a head appeared at the level of the coffee table, slowly rising at one end, gradually revealing hair, a dark green forehead, then faint brows, followed by a pair of terrifying eyes.

These eyes were all white, and as soon as they emerged from the edge of the coffee table, they silently watched him.
