Chapter 439: Every Circle Has a Dark Side

Rescuing the other party, and then personally killing them, sloppy man's answer truly surprised Yang Haoran and Bai Xue greatly.

Yang Haoran is not someone who is easily surprised. Most of the time, even if he is surprised inwardly, he wouldn't show it on his face. However, in this short period, sloppy man's words have surprised him multiple times, almost every answer from sloppy man would make him feel astonished.

Of course, the most surprising was the answer sloppy man gave this time.

Rescuing her, and then personally killing her, this sentence is highly contradictory. However, after a brief thought, Yang Haoran understood that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Yesterday, when discussing this deal with sloppy man, the urgency revealed in sloppy man's eyes was not put on, but absolutely from the heart.

From this point, it can be seen that the "her" sloppy man mentioned is very important to him, occupying a crucial position in his heart, so he wants to rescue her.

However, now sloppy man uttered such a blood-curdling remark, indicating that although this person occupies an extremely important position in sloppy man's heart, for some reason, sloppy man deeply hates this person and holds a deep grudge, so he wants to personally kill her.

Sloppy man said such an extremely contradictory sentence, showing that his heart is truly contradictory about this matter. As for why it would cause him to have such a contradictory psychology, there must be another story behind it.

As for what that story is, Yang Haoran cannot be certain, but he can roughly guess some of it.

However, Yang Haoran has no intention of digging deep into this matter, after all, it is sloppy man's private affair, unrelated to him.

His task is to rescue the other party. As for how sloppy man will deal with the other party after the rescue, that is sloppy man's business, none of his concern, and he doesn't want to know.

As for what grudges or enmity sloppy man and the other party have, he doesn't want to know and has no interest in knowing, so he doesn't want to inquire further about this issue.

Moreover, even if he asks, sloppy man may not tell him such things. What he wants to know now is another question.

"Since the target to be rescued is a demon, and she has fallen into the hands of demon hunters, how can you ensure that she is still alive?" Yang Haoran asked.

Before coming, he didn't ask sloppy man this question because he never thought that a demon hunter would choose to act against other demon hunters, just to rescue a demon.

Now that he knows about this matter, he feels it is necessary to inquire, perhaps he might discover something from it.

"Demons have the ability to transform, a unique ability bestowed upon them by the heavens. Freely changing their appearance, be it beautiful or ugly, is one of their transformation abilities."

"However, the appearance transformed in this way, no matter how real it looks, is not their true form after transforming into a human. Their true form after transforming into a human is fixed the first time they transform, whether beautiful or ugly, it is decided by the heavens, not something they can choose or change."

The sloppy man finished speaking, and Yang Haoran hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"I won't ask what kind of relationship you have with this demon for now, but I want to know if the others, especially the targets we're going after this time, are aware of your connection with this demon."

Yang Haoran asked this because he was considering the possibility of a trap. If the other party knew about the relationship between the sloppy man and this demon, and had deliberately set up this situation, then the matter would become more complicated. He had to consider carefully because he didn't want to foolishly follow the sloppy man into a trap set by the other party, which could not only harm himself but also cost Bai Xue her life.

"They won't know," the sloppy man replied.

"How can you be so sure?" Yang Haoran asked.

The sloppy man fell silent, as if hesitating whether to say something or not. After some consideration, he nodded and gave an affirmative answer, then continued speaking.

"Initially, I didn't know she was a demon. By the time I realized she was a demon, she had already disappeared from my world. I wanted to find her, but at that time, I was just an ordinary person with no ability to locate her. By a fortunate coincidence, an opportunity to become a demon hunter presented itself, and in order to find her, I became a demon hunter and joined the demon hunter association."

"If there is any profession in this world that knows demons better, it is undoubtedly us demon hunters. So I decisively chose to become a demon hunter, which gave me the power to slay demons. And the reason I joined the demon hunter association was that this organization could provide me with more information and resources about demons, making it easier for me to find her."

"But things didn't go as I wished. In the end, I had underestimated the situation. The New Genesis World is too vast, with too many demons. Trying to find one demon among the multitudes is like searching for a needle in the ocean."

"More than a decade passed in the blink of an eye. I've slain countless demons, and my strength has grown considerably, but I've never had any news about her. However, I never gave up and continued searching for her with all my efforts until two days ago when I finally received word about her."

"After verifying the authenticity of the information through various channels, I confirmed that she had resurfaced, but had been captured. I wanted to rescue her, but I had no friends to turn to. I know some demon hunters, but they would never help me with such a task."

"That's when I thought of you. Although we're not friends and even have a grudge against each other, I had gathered information about you and heard how others evaluate you – I won't repeat what they said, as I believe you know yourself better. After gaining some understanding of you through the information I gathered, I felt that approaching you for cooperation would be acceptable to you, which is why I took the risk to find you."

"Apart from the two of you, no one else knows about these matters, including the woman I intend to rescue. She is also unaware, as are the five demon hunters, so you don't need to worry about falling into a trap."

After listening to the sloppy man's explanation, Yang Haoran gained a deeper understanding of the situation, and many of his doubts were resolved.

As for the sloppy man's mention of how others evaluate Yang Haoran, he had no interest in that and didn't even consider asking about it.

Although Yang Haoran understood many things now, it didn't mean that Bai Xue had fully comprehended everything.

"If you've gone to such great lengths to find her and even risk rescuing her, why do you still want to kill her with your own hands? Are you a madman?" Bai Xue said coldly.

"I want to rescue her so that she doesn't die at the hands of others. I want to kill her because she deserves to die. Not just her, but all demons deserve to die!"
