“You don’t know?”
Su Nan frowned. If even Zhu Chen and the three elders of the Demon Hunting Bureau didn’t know the previous Bureau Chief’s last wish, it would be difficult for him to complete the task.
“Before the previous Bureau Chief was ambushed, was there anything he particularly wanted to do or any unusual behavior?” Su Nan asked in a different way.
“Something he particularly wanted to do?”
“Unusual behavior?”
Zhu Chen and the others pondered. A moment later, Zhu Chen said, “Indeed, the former Bureau Chief did want to do something —to kill the demon named Lv Ear. This demon had escaped from the previous Bureau Chief numerous times and almost became his personal demon.”
Su Nan nodded. Lv Ear was the first Xuan-level Great Monster he killed in Tianyun City, he knew from foreknowledge that the previous Bureau Chief always wanted to eliminate Lv Ear, but had never succeeded.
But this obviously was not the last wish of the previous Bureau Chief.
At this moment, Chen Su suddenly seemed to remember something. She said, “Speaking of strange behavior, there does seem to be one.”
With that, Chen Su looked at the other two and said, “Have you forgotten about that notebook…”
!!..
“Notebook? Right, if there was anything unusual about the previous Bureau Chief before he died, it was that notebook.”
Su Nan quickly asked, “What notebook?”
Chen Su explained, “The notebook was something the previous Bureau Chief wrote when he was bored. But we found that, after the Director visited City God Temple, the contents of the notebook became bizarre and illogical.”
“City God Temple!” Upon hearing this, Su Nan’s heart trembled.
He immediately realized that this might be the key to the task.
“Where is the notebook?”
“The notebook is still in the house where the previous Bureau Chief used to live.”
The house where the previous Bureau Chief lived was the same one that Zhu Chen had prepared for him before, although Su Nan had never lived there.
Soon, Su Nan found the notebook.
He quickly skimmed through it and found that most of the notebook’s contents were about demon hunting, documenting which demons the previous Bureau Chief had killed, their characteristics, abilities, and so on.
Each page didn’t have much content, with more than a dozen sentences at most and as few as three or five.
However, on the last few pages, the notebook’s content sharply decreased, with a maximum of one or two sentences per page.
“How could there be such strange demons in this world?”
“Daring to feed on us humans, unforgivable! Unforgivable!”
“Is that power really that vast? Should I agree to their terms?”
“Even though I’m at the mid-stage Xuan level, I can’t even kill an early-stage Xuan level demon. I’m too weak.”
“If I could wield that strength, which demon in Tianyun City would dare belittle me!”
“The Divine Way! I must figure out what this Divine Way is!”
The information in the notebook was cryptic. If someone did not have a deep understanding of what the City God Temple hid, they would find the contents baffling.
However, upon seeing this, Su Nan immediately understood what was happening.
Clearly, after the previous Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau entered the City God Temple, not only was he not killed by the demons inside, but he also discovered some secrets about the demons in the temple.
“Forget it! I don’t need to do this task of fulfilling the last wish. I’m not capable of completing it now.” Su Nan shook his head.
Not to mention the desire of the previous Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau to figure out what the Divine Way was, Su Nan himself also wanted to unravel the secrets of the Divine Way.
As he closed the notebook, Su Nan decided to abandon the task.
However, at this moment, a game prompt appeared before his eyes.
