“Don’t move! Everyone stay where you are!”
As the lights turned on, the three bodyguards of the Bull Demon had already gathered around him. One stepped forward to check the Bull Demon's vital signs — needless to say, he was long dead… Meanwhile, the other two radiated an intense aura that not only intimidated others but also controlled the entire scene.
A three-headed peak level 10 ancient demon entity was undoubtedly an extraordinary force in Neerles's small bar.
Thus, no one dared to act recklessly, including the replaced identity, A Gu, who was now curled up in his seat like a frightened chick, trembling all over.
“Political Hall is conducting an investigation; everyone stay in your positions and await interrogation!”
The death of Secretary-General Neerles was no small matter. The three bodyguards reacted swiftly, quickly controlling the entire bar and reporting to their superiors.
So, on this night, the One-Ear Bar was exceptionally busy.
…
After a night, A Gu stumbled out of the police station, his face weary and desolate. He got into a taxi, gave his location, and as the taxi drove away, A Gu's expression gradually calmed down.
During the period of identity replacement, Wen Yu had done it over ten times, so he was naturally adept at it. However, this time felt somewhat different.
“The police's interrogation was rigorous; from their sporadic expressions and actions, they have already ruled out the possibility that this series of deaths were natural. Fortunately, they did not focus on the identity replacement aspect, instead believing it to be an assassination by some skilled individual. In any case, this identity is temporarily safe, but I should be cautious in the future; this method might not last long.”
This was a simple deduction.
The Demon Palace was vast, with a total of 1998 floors, teeming with countless demonic creatures. It was truly a self-sustaining world!
By common standards, the natural death of one or two demonic creatures was absolutely mundane. However, Wen Yu had been replacing individuals of certain identities and statuses, making it less ordinary.
The demonic clan had already become vigilant regarding this. It was evident that in the future, if Wen Yu wanted to use such methods again, he would need to weigh the risks carefully.
“However, there is also good news…”
Thinking of this, Wen Yu kept recalling A Gu's personal information.
A Gu… the director of the Neerles Ancient Archive…
The ancient archive was clearly a low-tier establishment, its status even lesser than that of some small libraries. Perhaps the documents and archives inside were numerous, but their importance was truly low. Naturally, although A Gu was a civil servant, he had always been on the fringes of the system — as the director of the ancient archive, he ended up being questioned by a group of police officers all night, highlighting how lowly positioned A Gu was.
But just like the most expensive isn't necessarily the best, in terms of status, Wen Yu's previous replacement target — the Bull Head — was definitely on a much higher tier than A Gu, yet the secrets he knew might not be greater than A Gu's.
Within the Neerles Ancient Archive, many historical events long buried in the sands of time were hidden…
…
The vehicle sped down the spacious street, and before long, Wen Yu arrived at A Gu's workplace.
The Neerles Ancient Archive.
It had an ancient appearance, full of historical traces. From the outside, it resembled a large museum, and in fact, it was set to be transformed into a history museum — it had been around for too long, and the ancient archive was truly of no use. It was always good to add a tourist attraction to the city…
Poor A Gu, who had labored all his life for this ancient archive, only to face retirement in the end.
Wen Yu entered the ancient archive. The interior was expansive but filled with a grim atmosphere; the lighting was dim, and there were not many staff members coming and going — just an old man sweeping the floor and acting as a doorman, an archive administrator, and A Gu, the nominal director.
