Chapter 109 Lingling Arrives, A New Mission
After leaving the supermarket on campus, Jiang Han and Mo Fan each ate a loaf of bread and drank milk. It wasn't that they didn't want to eat, but the cafeteria was already empty after lunchtime, so they had no choice but to come to the supermarket to buy something to eat.
"Hey, Mo Fan, I didn't expect to run into you here. You've been asleep for two days. If we hadn't just run into Zhao Manyan and he hadn't told me you were awake, we would have called an ambulance for you," Mo Fan's roommate Zhang Pinggu said with a smile as he walked over.
Mo Fan asked in confusion, "Why call an ambulance? I just slept for two extra days because I wasn't getting enough sleep."
"You're always disappearing like a ghost, how was I supposed to know? If you weren't still breathing, we would have thought you were dead!" Zhang Pinggu said. "Oh, by the way, there's a girl looking for you all over campus."
Upon hearing that a girl was looking for him, Mo Fan immediately became interested and asked with a smile, "Miss, what do you think of me? Pretty or sexy?"
"Whether it's sexy or not, I don't know. I guess I'll only know when I grow up. The girl who's contacting you is a minor."
Jiang Han said calmly, "It's Lingling. She called me several times but I didn't answer. It must be something urgent."
After saying that, Jiang Han took the lead and left to find the little girl Lingling at the place Zhang Pinggu mentioned. The little girl was probably looking for them because of the Scaled Demoness. Mo Fan hurriedly finished his bread and chased after him.
"Hey, what's up with you two? There's a star concert at our college's gym tonight. I have a few tickets, do you two want to go?" Zhang Pinggu shouted, watching Jiang Han and Mo Fan's departing figures.
"Go by yourself, I'm going to earn some money." Mo Fan's voice came from afar.
Jiang Han couldn't go to find Lingling empty-handed, so he bought two cups of herbal jelly when he passed by the milk tea shop. As for Mo Fan, he could buy some himself if he wanted.
"Little girl, here, your milk tea." Jiang Han smiled and handed the little girl the herbal jelly drink when they arrived at Mo Fan's dormitory building.
After taking the herbal jelly, Lingling said haughtily, "For the sake of the herbal jelly, I won't hold it against you for not answering my calls."
"Hey, didn't Old Man Bao say you're a pretty mature girl? Why are you still drinking milk tea?" Mo Fan teased with a smile.
"Who said that? What does drinking milk tea have to do with age?" Lingling inserted the straw into the grass jelly and slurped it down, her little mouth pouting adorably.
"Waaaaah, Host, I want milk tea too!" Little Master suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Han and said pitifully.
"Then you can have this cup," Jiang Han said, and Xiao Shi started drinking the herbal jelly.
Mo Fan and Lingling were surprised to see that the Immortal Herb in Jiang Han's hand had vanished into thin air. Although Xiao Shi could transform between physical and virtual forms, that only applied to Jiang Han; others could not see Xiao Shi.
Jiang Han didn't want to talk about it, and neither of them asked. Mo Fan asked with a smile, "Little girl, did you come to me and Jiang Han for another favor?"
"Yes, last time I took some blood samples from the skin that the banshee shed to study, and I made a tracker using that banshee's blood that can clearly track her location," Lingling said calmly.
Jiang Han didn't say anything, but Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, little girl, I never thought you could make something like this!"
Lingling glared at Mo Fan and said unhappily, "I'm not a little girl, I have a name. Stop calling me 'little girl' all the time. It's very disrespectful, you know?"
"Ahem, Lingling, why don't you tell me about this commission first?" Jiang Han said with a light cough.
"Here's the thing, Jiang Han rescued that male owner a few days ago, right? This morning he came to our Qingtian Hunting Grounds again and posted a commission. If we can rescue his wife, he'll pay us a commission fee of one million. The commission fee has already been paid in advance," Lingling said calmly.
Hearing Lingling's story, Mo Fan was dumbfounded. One million! This employer is really generous.
"Lingling, hurry up and find her! Once you find her, Jiang Han and I will go and catch that female demon—no, we'll rescue her!" Mo Fan said, his eyes shining. What could he do? He was short of money.
Lingling, biting her straw, said casually, "Look, this is the location system I made."
Lingling placed the laptop in front of Jiang Han and Mo Fan. The laptop displayed an electronic map of Shanghai. Seeing Mo Fan's puzzled look, Lingling explained, "You're not mistaken, this is indeed an electronic map of Shanghai. As long as I access the banshee's blood data, the map will immediately show the banshee's location."
"Wow, you're really amazing! You can even make something this high-tech." Mo Fan exclaimed in admiration.
Jiang Han said calmly, "You're only stronger than Lingling in terms of cultivation; you're completely outmatched in terms of intelligence."
Jiang Han's words made him very unhappy, but Mo Fan couldn't refute them. During the time he spent with Lingling, he had indeed realized that Lingling was much more mature than girls her age.
Thinking of the one million yuan commission, Mo Fan said excitedly, "Then let's start tracking! One million yuan, I've never seen so much money in my life!"
Lingling nodded, took a USB drive out of her pocket and inserted it into the laptop. Soon the electronic map on the computer reacted, as if it had been activated and started to move. Jiang Han and Mo Fan stared intently at the electronic map, waiting for the location of the banshee to be displayed.
Mo Fan pointed to the black dots on the computer map and asked, "Lingling, what are these black dots?"
"That's our location. If the banshee appears, a red dot will appear on the map to show its location. There's a red dot! Huh, what's going on?" Lingling stared in surprise at the countless red dots on the electronic map.
Jiang Han said awkwardly, "Well, our city's monster-hunting team has only killed a dozen or so Scaled Banshees in the past two days. The main problem is that the Scaled Banshees are hiding too well. If they don't show themselves, we really can't do anything about them."
"I thought it was Lingling's equipment that was malfunctioning, but it turns out it was your problem," Mo Fan joked with a smile.
Jiang Han ignored him and said calmly, "Take a look at the map. If you can't handle the demons later, don't beg me."
"(ˉ▽￣～)Tch~~, making it seem like I really need you... No, Brother Jiang, I was wrong. You have to come to my aid later, otherwise I might really be done for." Mo Fan, who was initially indifferent, immediately changed his attitude after seeing the dense red dots on the computer screen. There was no way around it; there were just too many demons. If he were surrounded, he would probably be doomed.
So many red dots were converging on their Pearl Academy, while the black dots representing their locations were all covered by red spots.
The moment the red dot appeared, Jiang Han immediately used his token to notify the other members of his third squad, saying, "Report to the city's demon-hunting headquarters that the Scaled Banshees are converging on Pearl Academy. You should also gather at the Pearl Academy's gymnasium as soon as possible. Tonight is expected to be a fierce battle."
"Received, Captain." After receiving Jiang Han's notification, the members of the third squad immediately headed towards Mingzhu Academy.
Upon receiving Jiang Han's report, the headquarters of the city's demon-hunting team in Shanghai immediately dispatched all members to Mingzhu Academy. If they failed to eliminate the Scaled Banshees during this gathering, Shanghai would suffer heavy losses. Parasitic demons like the Scaled Banshees cause mass deaths whenever they appear. Therefore, when Jiang Han reported the situation last time, Shanghai's higher-ups made emergency arrangements to dispatch personnel to kill any demons that appeared immediately. This gathering of Scaled Banshees presented the perfect opportunity to completely eradicate them.
P.S.: This is the second update.
