The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 272. Night Guest I

As soon as I came out of my portal, I was already in my house's bathroom and returned to my human form.

[The portal has closed! ]

Quickly, I turned on the tap on my sink. My hands splashed some water on my face and hair before I grabbed my towel. At the same time, I used my Demon's Clothes skill and changed my clothes into pajamas. Then I went down the stairs with a towel around my neck. My hand scrubbed the towel's one end on my wet hair repeatedly as if I was drying it.

"Did I make you wait too long?" I said with an innocent face as soon as I arrived in the living room. In under five minutes, I opened my portal to all my servants, exited the Sea Devil Club and returned to my house. On the other side, I asked Foxy to use her hiding skill and Celia to open the door for Mrs Clea to avoid suspicion. As Emma said, Mrs Clea asked Celia about me. Celia simply went upstairs to pretend to announce Mrs Clea's arrival and returned to the living room to accompany her to chat.

Instead of answering me, Mrs Clea and Celia, who were sitting on the sofa, focused their attention on the TV that was on in front of them. Its sound made me turn to it as I sat on the single sofa near them. My hand that was drying my wet hair moved slower and slower, my eyes widened in either surprise or amazement. The same expression as Celia's.

"That's crazy..." I mumbled unconsciously. The news showed public CCTV footage about how several demons were killed on the Nighthallow City's street when they were about to eat their victims. Some black hands with sharp and terrifying claws emerged from the ground to grab the demons before tearing them apart and turning them into ashes. It was a terrifying sight but also a pleasant thing since the victims were alive and managed to escape.

Then the screen changed to a reporter sitting behind his desk in the studio.

"This abnormal scene was caught by CCTV accidentally and has been watched 31 million times in less than an hour after being released on social media. This video has sparked a huge debate on the internet especially about its authenticity since many people believe it's fake. The police are investigating the video's origin to get more information from the uploader and waiting for the Demon Hunter Association to explain this phenomenon."

Celia's voice made me turn to her.

"Brother, is that----?" she didn't say the question clearly since Mrs Clea was with us. Her amazement and surprise were clearly visible on her face, she even forgot that she could ask me through Telepathy.

"Yes," I answered to make sure it was me. But I added a couple more sentences to make it look as if Celia was asking something else.

"That's really insane. I think the demon hunters have found a new way to deal with demons."

"What makes you think it was the Demon Hunter's doing?" Mrs Clea suddenly joined our conversation. There was a trace of displeasure in her tone. Either she wasn't happy since I considered that skill was The Demon Hunter's doing or she was annoyed by the fact that 'The Great Demon' could kill faster than the demon hunters.

I pointed at the TV and looked at Mrs Clea with a puzzled expression.

"Those hands killed the demons and saved the victims. Who else if it wasn't the demon hunters?"

"Magic technology is getting better now. Maybe it's one of their secret weapons," Celia added. It was a logical statement if we put ourselves as ordinary people, but I knew it was impossible since the thick dark aura clearly showed that it was the demon's skill.

"I also think the same thing. Demon attacks are getting more frequent. I think this is the demon hunter's counter attack," I started raving with a made-up theory, just like Larry. Well, Larry and I were good friends, so I was sure Mrs Clea wouldn't suspect if we had something in common, especially since we were brothers in crime.

But instead of answering us, Mrs Clea decided to keep silent since she couldn't show that she took the side with the Demon hunter.

"Mrs Clea, what brings you here?" I decided not to continue my stupid theory anymore.

"Is it--- about Ruby?" I added in a hesitant tone. I knew she came here to find out more about my fighting abilities or that vacate letter. But I guessed it was the first choice since Emma said she took my father's files before she came here. But I also wanted to know why she let Ruby follow me, while she didn't let Elenna do it. Was it because Ruby is a Demon Hunter? Didn't she say that she didn't allow Ruby to approach me before?

"Is she bothering you?" she asked worriedly.

"She waited for me in the rain this morning. I'm afraid she will catch a cold because of it. I mean--- she can text me if she wants to meet me up. Why does she have to stalk me around when she can talk and meet me in a normal way? " I pointed out what I meant. Sometimes I had a wild thought of taking shortcuts by turning people who suspect or stalk me into my slaves with my Devil's Puppet skill. But people would quickly realize their drastic change in attitude, especially their eyes that turned blank. It was too obvious especially since the Demon Hunters would soon notice it. Even Emma had to go through a check-up to make sure she wasn't under any demon's influence after her suspension period was over. That also applied to Elenna since she was a News network's owner. So the only thing I could rely on was my Mind Corruption skill and I wouldn't hesitate to use it in an emergency.

"Sorry... I hope you can forgive her rudeness," said Mrs Clea in apology.

"You don't have to be sorry about it. Besides, it's not your fault." Judging by how she tried to get Ruby out of my front door when Tiffany was about to go home, I was sure Mrs Clea never told her to do so.

"Anyway, what brings you here?" I repeated my question as I used your observation skill on her to check her emotional status from time to time.

"Ruby said you can do a bit of defensive skill when you help her at the cafe. May I know how and why you learn it? I feel unsafe lately since my husband is rarely at home so I think I need something to protect myself and my son from bad guys," she said straight to the point. As I expected, she asked for my fighting ability.

"It's a little complicated to explain..." I said in a regretful tone.

"Besides..." I turned to Celia and looked at her with a sad expression.

"I don't want to dig into my sister's old wounds again."

"Is this something to do with Celia?" asked Mrs Clea. She should have known this from Tiffany that I learned a bit of fighting skill to protect Celia from Bern. But since she was still curious about me, I decided to give her more details. And since I was pretty sure this was her private investigation, in an emergency, I would alter her memory just to make sure she wouldn't ask me again. Besides, she didn't take Alan with her.

Unfortunately, just after that thought passed through my head. I could catch a big bird flying into a tree in my yard from the window. Even though it was a bit unclear, the status above it showed that the bird was not an ordinary bird. And the only one abnormal bird around here was Alan. Looks like Mrs Clea decided to be careful because she didn't know when those black hands would appear.

"Yes." Then I frowned as my eyes looked at her in suspicion.

"Wait for a second... Why are you and my step sister asking the same thing?" It was a counter from me, also a test since I wanted to know her reaction. That statement was normal since she thought I didn't know that she and Tiffany knew each other so I pointed out the clear oddity. Also, I hoped this would make her stop asking more questions later.

"Your step sister just asked the same thing?" she said in a disbelief tone.

"What a strange coincidence," she added. Her expression remained calm though I could see a hint of panic in her emotional status.

"But you don't mind telling me, do you?"

I still gave her my suspicious look before I answered.

"Fine."
