Inside the division, Han Sen saw two more pools of black water. It was the same way the Night Ghosts had died. Han Sen only saw the presence of the Taurus and Kahn. There were also some Night Ghosts, but he didn't see anything else.
Han Sen looked through all the surveillance footage, but he couldn't find the killer. The two Taurus officers had been killed in their own rooms.
From the surveillance footage, there was no one else in the room, and the door was locked from the inside. Ever since they entered, the Taurus people had been unable to contact them. They had not seen any other creatures enter the room, and they had not come out.
Like the Night Ghosts that had died before, there were no clues.
Han Sen wasn't a detective, so he planned to let Phyllostachys Longipes handle this.
"Marquise Kahn, may I ask why you are here?" Before Han Sen left, he looked at Kahn and asked.
Kahn's face didn't change, and he coldly said, "Because the Night Ghosts have ordered some very expensive goods. That is why I am here. I didn't expect something like this to happen on Planet Night Ghost."
"Can I know what kind of expensive goods they are?" Han Sen asked, looking at Kahn.
"I am sorry, but we are obligated to keep the information of our customers confidential. If you want to know, you can ask Sleepless Duke herself," Kahn said.
Han Sen nodded and turned around to leave. But after a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Has the goods been delivered?"
"Yes," Kahn gave an affirmative answer.
"Thank you." Han Sen left the Taurus base.
"Are you famous?" On the way back, Li Duo looked at him and asked, "Are you famous?"
Kahn knew Han Sen, and he was very polite to Han Sen. That surprised her. She thought the only person on Planet Night Ghost that Kahn would treat like that was Sleepless Duke.
However, Li Duo vaguely felt that Kahn seemed to be more cautious when dealing with Han Sen.
"Not really. It's just that I've killed a Demon. That's why the Demons pay special attention to me. It's because of their hatred for me," Han Sen said with a smile.
"I see." Li Duo suddenly understood.
Han Sen looked at Li Duo and asked casually, "You seem to be very close to Kahn."
Li Duo's face reddened slightly. "Not really. He only entered Night Ring 12th Street once when he was trading with my mother. He also easily defeated the strongest Night Ghost warriors during the banquet. That's how I got to know him."
"What precious goods did your mother buy from him that she needed a demon marquis to escort her?" Han Sen asked again.
"I don't know." Li Duo shook her head.
Han Sen asked a few more questions, but he didn't get any answers. So, he took Bao 'er back to the Duke's house to meet up with Phyllostachys Longipes.
Han Sen returned to the room he shared with Phyllostachys Longipes. He looked at Phyllostachys Longipes, who was resting.
"There is something wrong with Sleepless Duke." Phyllostachys Longipes opened his eyes and spoke with certainty.
"What is it?" Han Sen quickly asked.
"I don't know. I can tell she is hiding something, but I can't tell what she is hiding," Phyllostachys Longipes said coldly.
Han Sen told him what he had discovered. Phyllostachys Longipes was silent for a while, and then he said, "From what I know, the Night Ghosts need flesh to survive. But they only eat fresh flesh. They don't eat flesh that has been dead for more than twenty-four hours. The Taurus provide them with living creatures.
But Sky Palace's rules state that the living creatures must be killed before they are sent to Night Ring 12th Street. No living creatures are allowed to be sent to Night Ring 12th Street. "
"Is there a difference?" Han Sen asked with confusion.
"The Night Ghosts are a very frightening race. They eat flesh to survive, but that flesh is alive. They don't just eat flesh, they also eat things that we don't understand. If I had to describe it, I would say that they eat the souls of living creatures."
"Souls?"
Han Sen was even more shocked. No creature had ever been able to prove the existence of souls.
"It's just a description. If the Night Ghosts eat living creatures, they can absorb a mysterious substance. It makes them evolve quickly, especially when it comes to their mental powers.
There was a Night Ghost Duke who had a King class mental power, "Phyllostachys Longipes said.
Han Sen was shocked. "A King class mental power? Is that half-deified or deified?"
"It should be half-deified."
Phyllostachys Longipes went on to say, "But there is a downside to the Night Ghosts' evolution. Their minds become messed up. It's like they combine with the souls of the creatures they eat. That causes problems in their minds, and it makes them crave to kill and eat. They might even eat their own kind. That is why Sky Palace forbids them from eating living creatures."
"Are you saying that Kahn sent living creatures to Sleepless Duke?" Han Sen finally understood what Phyllostachys Longipes meant.
Phyllostachys Longipes nodded and said, "That is just a guess. Sky Palace has an inspection office here to prevent living creatures from entering Night Ring 12th Street.
But the Night Ghosts can only eat fresh meat, so it's impossible for them to forbid living creatures from entering Planet Night Ghost.
For many years, nothing has happened on Planet Night Ghost. That's why they aren't as strict as they used to be. If someone wanted to, they could have sent living creatures there.
What's more, you just said that even you feel threatened by Marquis Kahn. What is it that's worth for such a demon to personally deliver it? "
"That's very possible, but what benefits would that bring to the Demon Race?
What does this have to do with the deaths on Planet Night Ghost? "Han Sen asked quietly.
"You'll have to ask Sleepless Duke about that," Phyllostachys Longipes said coldly.
"Will she tell you?" Han Sen didn't think Sleepless Duke would admit to eating living creatures, even if she did.
"She has no other choice," Phyllostachys Longipes said calmly.
Han Sen shrugged. He wasn't good at this, so he had to follow Phyllostachys Longipes.
When Phyllostachys Longipes and Han Sen saw Sleepless Duke again, it was two hours later. Phyllostachys Longipes wanted to see Sleepless Duke as soon as possible, but the Duke's servants told them Sleepless Duke was out. So, they had to wait for another two hours to see her again.
