I'm a villain, not a devil

There were only two people at the back door of the villa. The security measures here were very strict, and no one else would appear around.

And Concubine Lan's personal maids and guards should be waiting at another alley.

Deliberately creating an environment without people, Concubine Lan, who was favored by His Majesty, kissed the man passionately.

Seeing the inseparable look of the two, and Concubine Lan's face flushed with a little emotion, it was obvious that the two had just experienced a fierce battle.

The bird on the branch fluttered in place, causing the surrounding birds to flap their wings a few times.

However, there were only a few birds, and no one would pay attention.

At the back door, Concubine Lan and the man kissed passionately for a long time, and then reluctantly separated their lips.

The two hugged each other and whispered something, and the bird flapped its wings, as if wanting to stand closer.

Suddenly, Lan Fei looked up in astonishment, and her voice became louder: "You are going to see Bai Youming?!"

The man looked around and said nervously: "Don't shout."

"This is my private house, no one can hear it." Although she said so, Lan Fei still lowered her voice.

However, compared with the previous whispers, the conversation between the two people can be heard vaguely.

Words such as "Major General Lance", "Insider", and "Emergency" kept leaking out.

After a while, the two seemed to have finished their discussion, and Lan Fei said with some concern: "What if it was Bai Youming who did it?"

The man's face was a little ugly: "I don't know, but I can't find any useful information now... I don't think His Royal Highness would do such a thing. He is second to none, and his newly recognized son died not long ago. He has no motive."

"Okay... Then you go now?"

"Yeah." The man nodded, and he looked into the distance, "You should go back to the palace first. It's easy to be suspected if you stay outside for a long time. By the way, find a chance to meet with Covens after you go back, and you can all talk."

"Yeah, I know."

The man pecked Lan Fei's lips again, and then hurried away.

Lan Fei did not delay, and walked quickly towards her motorcade.

Just as the two of them started to move, the birds on the tree branches flapped their wings, and the slightly fatter one flew into the sky, hovered for a while, and finally flew in the direction the man left.

It gradually climbed to a higher altitude until it could no longer be discovered by people on the ground, and then a human expression appeared on its face.

Sure enough, it was not accidental that Lan Fei came into contact with the information of Major General Lance. She had an affair with someone, and it was probably because of the request of the person who had an affair that she looked for the information about Admiral Lance.

The expression on the bird's face became more and more rich. It looked down while thinking, making sure that the man who thought he was very smart and was secretly leaving here was within its field of vision.

After tracking for a while, it nodded slightly. The man was indeed going to find Prince Bai Youming...

This matter must not be noticed by Bai Youming, otherwise, the trouble will be too big to be solved.

A human-like anger flashed in the bird's eyes. It circled lightly in the air, and then slowly glided downwards.

If I remember correctly, it should be a deserted block...

On the spread wings, a light red mist slowly dissipated, gradually spreading to the area where the man was.

Occasionally, a few street kids passing by the deserted block would bend over and look for anything valuable in the abandoned buildings.

"Plop."

The sound of people falling to the ground continued, and they could no longer raise their heads.

His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and finally, the bird followed his gaze and flew down, landing on top of a steel bar.

The man who was reluctant to leave Lan Fei just now had fallen to the ground powerlessly. He leaned against the corner of the wall and gasped, but his face was still turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under the gray skin, there was a dark red color trembling, as if something was about to come out of the blood vessels.

The man gritted his teeth and scanned the surroundings desperately and fiercely.

His body was getting weaker and weaker, which also made his emotions out of control.

"Who is it?! Come out!" the man yelled.

However, there was no response from the surroundings, only the increasingly strong fishy smell drifted from all directions.

The man roared in despair, but it seemed that even this little consumption would make him weaker, and he began to cough violently.

As time went by, he gradually lost the strength to cough, and his eyes were already turbid.

After confirming that the man in front of him no longer had any resistance, the bird finally flew right in front of him.

In the man's unbelievable eyes, the bird made a sharp human voice, like an old eunuch speaking with a pinched throat.

"You can still hold on for five minutes, at most." The bird's tone rose, "I'll give you a chance to live. Who asked you to start investigating Lance? How did you and Elisa Lam get together?"

The man opened his mouth in disbelief, and he gasped a few times with difficulty, his voice already extremely weak.

"It's you... the person behind Lance... it's you..."

"I'm just a slave," the bird said calmly, "your time is passing."

The man laughed miserably, and then said viciously: "A bird? Ha, something that doesn't even dare to reveal its true face, you want me to surrender to you?"

The bird raised one wing in a humane way, and then it realized that it was now a bird, and there was no watch on its wing for it to tell time.

It changed its position with its claws somewhat unnaturally, and continued: "I don't need your submission, I am just giving you a great opportunity to listen to the gospel."

The man was almost out of breath, his chest heaving violently: "Ridiculous stuff, if you are really great, do you still need to do these sneaky actions?"

The bird stroked its beak with the tip of its wing, as if it also liked to use this action when it was in human form.

"You don't understand at all," it shook its head in disappointment, "You don't have much time left."

"Kill me, you won't get any information from me," the man grinned.

The bird laughed sharply: "No, I said you don't understand, even if you die, your head will be preserved. Coincidentally, we have a machine that can dig out the real secrets from your brain."

It was satisfied to see that the man's face froze.

"Forgive me for not being able to check the time now, but I estimate that you have the last two minutes. My mercy is not for everyone."

The man's pale face became even uglier. He gritted his teeth: "I don't even know who is behind you. I can't surrender to nothingness."

"It's not considered surrendering to nothingness. At least, our collaborator should also be qualified to accept the surrender of the people of this country-" It stroked its beak subconsciously again, and then continued, "What you are doing now does not affect the final result. Of course, we all hope that things can be easier. After all, Bai Youming is a very, very troublesome existence."

It used two verys in a row, and it seemed very reluctant to face Bai Youming.

"Okay, you don't have much time left..." It subconsciously glanced at the tip of its wing, but there was no watch there.

The man still gritted his teeth: "Collaborator? How many parties are you united?"

"Like-minded people, those who take what they need... Of course, we..."

As he said that, the bird suddenly froze.

It froze in place, and then raised its wings in disbelief.

"This is the third time, this is the third time... My subconscious is following my habits, and it even affects my current state..."

It looked at the man in shock: "You are affecting me..."

The man who had a tragic and desperate look just now suddenly became another person, with some regret in his voice: "You can actually detect it from here. After I was promoted to Crimson, you are the first."

"Who are you..." The bird flapped its wings frantically.

The surrounding scene changed.

The deserted block disappeared, replaced by a dim alley, and the fallen street children disappeared, leaving only broken wooden stakes on the ground.

The man in front of it also disappeared, instead, a six-eyed cat with blue-green fur was staring at it.

"Mountain and Sea Cat!" The bird blurted out, "Forty-two years ago, it wreaked havoc in the birdman tribe that claimed to be an angel tribe, directly causing the genocide of the birdman tribe, and finally died in..."

Before the voice fell, the creature named Mountain and Sea Cat leaped forward at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye, waving its claws stained with blue-green ink.

The soil and the sky seemed to have turned into a blue-green ink painting. They spread out like ink, and the bird in it was about to turn into an ink halo.

The bird spread its wings and flew high, but it could not fly out of the range of the ink painting.

It seemed that its body was about to dissolve like a drop of ink dropped into water. After a sharp cry, it actually flashed out of thin air and broke away from the ink painting.

And using such means seemed to make it no longer able to maintain the appearance of a bird. After a short distortion, the bird turned into a middle-aged man wearing a robe of the same color.

He wore a bird-beak mask and a black hat, and a watch with only a minute hand was abruptly clasped on his long-sleeved leather gloves, which looked extremely strange.

The bird-beaked man looked at the mountain cat in disbelief: "Apat... You are Apat!"

Standing on the high wall, Sean showed a surprised expression. The other party actually knew Apat? This guy...

From the beginning of his acting with Elisa Lam, it was to lure the other party out.

A resume that was forged so perfectly was the biggest problem in itself. There were only two people who could view the information at will, the emperor and the prince, but they had no need to forge it.

Then, the forger could only be someone in the office. Although we didn't know who it was, we could only think about it from another perspective. A resume with problems should be prevented from being seen by others.

But Lam found it, which means that the other party could only forge it, but could not hide it completely... otherwise, they would be discovered first.

So, in order to prevent being discovered, the best way is naturally to leave some small tricks, and among those who entered the database that day, Lam was the most conspicuous one.

So, Sean was sure that the other party would find a way to monitor Lam to see what was going on.

The play at the back door was to make the other party focus on him first.

Sean didn't know that the bird was the monitor at first, so he used the simplest method.

He directly brought all the surroundings into his illusion, which was almost equivalent to an illusion without any existence - Sean just changed some of the surrounding objects.

Under this situation, the humans around him can easily break free from his illusion, and at most they are just slightly distracted. For those strong people, this slightest illusion cannot even be detected by them, and they will not be deceived by the illusion. Seeing is believing.

However, humans can break free because their etheric body is more powerful, but animals cannot.

Especially an ordinary bird, which is not affected by its own illusion at all?

Sean's eyes behind him have been watching all this. When the bird spread its wings and flew high, he had already determined who the observer was.

With a target, everything is easy to say. Then, it is the process of letting the other party slowly fall into the illusion.

However, what Sean did not expect was that his illusion affected the subconscious of people, which caused the other party to keep making subconscious actions in human form while maintaining the appearance of a bird, and finally he was detected to be abnormal.

It can only be said that the other party is indeed amazingly powerful and has a very strong mental power.

However, the illusion is just an appetizer, and he also has the ability to "make lies come true." As long as he and Apat had killed a creature, they could fight in a form between illusion and reality. If the opponent was affected by the illusion, the creature in the illusion would be more real and powerful.

Unexpectedly, the opponent actually recognized the identity of the mountain cat and even knew that the mountain cat died at the hands of Apat.

Even the top-secret documents of the empire did not record the creatures killed by Apat. How did the birdman in front of him know?

Wait, birdman?

Sean narrowed his eyes.

After calming down his shock, the birdman actually flew again.

However, this time he was not in the form of a bird. A pair of wings grew directly behind him.

Birdman... No wonder he knew them.

Apat and the mountain cat did not kill them all at the beginning...

"Apat..." The birdman waved his wings again.

He raised his cane devoutly and tapped his watch with the tip of the cane.

"Your faithful servant is praying, begging you to bring down disaster and plague to punish these blasphemers!"

More and thicker fog was scattered on the wings of the birdman, and a strong fishy smell filled the entire space.

But Sean's eyes widened completely.

Ritual? He was begging for the plague to come... But this breath was... Special proliferation!

Looking at the other party's robe, Sean recalled another similar style.

This birdman... is from the Church?

The Church that held special proliferation, was fooled by Sean once, and even sent people to Paradise City to congratulate!

While thinking, the plague that the birdman walked actually drilled into the ground, and a huge earthworm covered with holes and rotten meat drilled out of the ground.

Before the mountain cat could react, the earthworm swallowed it into its stomach in one gulp.
