Chapter 12: I was fooled by Brother Huang

Can humans use their bodies to fight against demons?

Xu Dahuang was thinking that if there were no magic tools to support it, then this would be impossible.

The physique of demons is completely different from that of humans. An ordinary slave-level demon can slaughter a team of six junior mages, but it is impossible for a junior mage to fight six slave-level demons alone.

Humans are still weak...

But what he saw tonight shattered his three views.

Judging from all the clues, the giant-eyed rat that died in the newsstand was beaten to death.

The demon's blood on Luo Yun's hands showed that he was the one who did it.

The results of nearby surveillance footage also confirmed this. Although there was no direct footage of Luo Yun taking action, there was no second person present at the newsstand at the time.

Is it possible for a human to kill a demon with human flesh?
The three people who returned home did not speak, but were thinking about this matter silently.

This matter is of great importance and should not be spread outside, so Xu Dahuang wanted to talk to Luo Yun alone, and Xiaoke and Fei Shi had no objection.

The two people who investigated the scene have confirmed that there is no remnant of fishy smell or curse breath around, ruling out the possibility that Luo Yun is a member of the Black Vatican.

The next thing to investigate is how Luo Yun killed the giant-eyed rat, and whether he is a human or a monster.

In the staff dormitory, Luo Yun was very satisfied with the increase in the parasitic power of the Shadow Spreading Technique.

The Shadow Spell ignored the rules of the magic world and directly added extraordinary power to Luo Yun, giving him the physical strength to easily tear apart the giant-eyed rat.

But the aftereffects were also very strong! The excessive consumption of physical strength made Luo Yun feel exhausted, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes, as if he was back to his old leader Hongyan.

This is not just dizziness, but a vague feeling of losing consciousness and being in a trance.

Luo Yun was not at all panicked about this. This phenomenon was exactly the same as when he first planted the Shadow Vine Technique, and was even much milder.

The situation before us is nothing but drizzle.

After the parasitic energy germinated and the side effects were cut off, Luo Yun became an all-round warrior who practiced both combat and magic.

You can defeat the enemy with fists and feet at close range, and with magic bombing at a distance.

……

The next morning, Luo Yun took a look at his body while washing up.

The tattoos are now all over his upper body, from only half of the palm at the beginning to the entire half of the body now.

I guess if I show up shirtless, people will think I'm a bad boy.

Luo Yun smiled slightly, seeming to be unconcerned.

As long as you take the parasitic energy for yourself, these tattoos will fade away on their own, returning to their original form, and the power feedback will not be reduced.

The Shadow Technique is so brainless!
When he arrived at the office, Luo Yun's face changed slightly, and he vaguely guessed something.

At this time, Xu Dahuang was the only one in the office. Everyone else was away. I guess they had discovered what happened last night.

Time was tight last night, and Luo Yun did not clean up the scene after killing the giant-eyed fishy rat with a hammer, leaving a lot of loopholes.

There is no need to investigate carefully. As long as you are careful, you will find that all the clues point to you and there is no escape at all.

Indeed, in this world, killing a demon with human flesh is considered shocking to the world, and it would be strange if it was not suspected.

As expected, Xu Dahuang sighed and said bluntly: "Xiao Luo, are you hiding something from us?"

Luo Yun had expected the possibility of being discovered and suspected, and he had already thought of a way to respond. At this time, the word trust was extremely important, and he had to gain the trust of his teammates. Luo Yun didn't want to lose this job for the time being.

There are too many things involved. Once he is mistaken for a heretic or a monster, not only will he be in trouble, but Mo Fan, whom he guaranteed, will also be implicated.

"Captain, I do have something hidden from you, and I have been hiding it for some time." Luo Yun, with his old acting skills, used his language and expressions very well, and immediately aroused Xu Dahuang's curiosity.

As he spoke, Luo Yun rolled up his sleeves, revealing the tattoo left by the Shadow Creeping Technique.

"These tattoos are...were you a gangster before?"

Xu Dahuang is also very emotionally intelligent. Seeing that Luo Yun wanted to confess, regardless of whether what he said was true or false, the most important thing was to break the tense atmosphere first.

We are all colleagues, not enemies, so there is no need to force each other.

"I'm not a gangster, but Captain, aren't you curious about how I got the shadow element?" Luo Yun said.

After hearing this, Xu Dahuang began to take this matter seriously.

Luo Yun is not a student and cannot awaken his magic in school.

Seeing that he couldn't walk when seeing the money, I guess his family is not well off and can't afford the expenses of going to the Magic Association to awaken his magic.

Originally Xu Dahuang thought that Luo Yun was the awakening of his family, but now it seems that there is another hidden story.

"I awakened the shadow element on my own, without the guidance of the awakening stone." Luo Yun's words caused a huge wave, and Xu Dahuang was stunned.

"Awakened on her own? It seems that Mu Ningxue, the number one genius in our Bo City, also awakened to the ice element on her own." Xu Dahuang muttered to himself.

The name Mu Ningxue is almost a household name in Bo City. Everyone knows her story, so it is normal for Xu Dahuang to know it.

"After I awakened the shadow element, this tattoo appeared on my body. At first, it was only half the size of a palm, but now..."

Luo Yun took off his shirt, and when his upper body fell into Xu Dahuang's eyes, the latter stood up suddenly.

Luo Yun's upper body seemed to be entangled by a black python, and was covered with dense tattoos with few traces of skin.

Especially on the chest, the tattoo is like a growing vine, and it seems to be climbing up the neck.

"You are..." Xu Dahuang was now speechless. Even for someone as experienced as him, this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

"I found that these tattoos will continue to increase as I control the number of stars. Now I can control five stars, and these tattoos are all over my upper body."

"So, what do you want to say?" Xu Dahuang asked again.

Luo Yun's eyes shone: "I thought these tattoos were useless and could only be used for viewing, but that's not the case."

As he spoke, he picked up a cup on Xu Dahuang's table. Under Xu Dahuang's dazed gaze, Luo Yun gently squeezed the cup, and it immediately shattered into pieces.

This time Xu Dahuang was no longer calm and immediately went forward to check.

Luo Yun's hand was safe and sound, but the water cup that had been with him for so long had turned into residue.

"The more these tattoos grow, the stronger my power will be. My thought is that since Mu Ningxue, the number one genius in Bo City, awakened the ice element on her own and had a natural spirit seed, then does my shadow element also have something special? Perhaps it is on these tattoos."

"So I verified it last night, and it turned out that the giant-eyed fishy rat really killed me. So I came to a conclusion that Mu Ningxue's talent is reflected in her magical talent, while mine is reflected in my physical strength."

"It's just that before I had the chance to tell you, you already suspected it first."

Luo Yun’s acting skills were superb and he didn’t look panicked at all.

On the contrary, it was Xu Dahuang who was obviously fooled by Luo Yun.
