“Hey!”
He had only said four words before he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“It’s a secret, but it’s not a secret.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s not knowable to outsiders, so it’s a secret, but the people of the Heavenly Demon Fort know all about it, so it’s not considered a secret.”
Han Qianqian did not say anything, just looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
“Master Han, looking at our group of people, don’t you notice something not quite right?” Scar said.
Han Qianqian looked back at everyone, and apart from the fact that they were all shorter, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong.
However, since Scar was asking this question, Han Qianqian believed that this was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
He observed and pondered carefully, and suddenly, he discovered the mystery: “There are all men here, and no women.”
Scar nodded, “That’s right, and that, too, is the fundamental reason why you knock on the door and see no one in the house within the Heavenly Demon Fort.”
“All the men are hiding, hiding in this place, and no one dares to make any noise.”
“Why?” Han Qianqian wondered.
Scar shook his head, “I don’t know, actually the whole thing is unclear to us, but about a few months ago, as soon as the night came, women started to be lost in this city.”
“At first, when such things happen in the land of the demons, people don’t ask too much about it. After all, the weak are strong here, not to mention the loss of a few women, even if dozens of men die at once, it’s really only normal.”
“But the problem is that it hasn’t stopped. From the initial loss of a dozen a night, it went on for months, and when it happened in almost every household, it just didn’t go right.”
The little brother next to him took over at this point, “And all the ones that were lost were some wonderful women.”
“Wait a minute.” Han Qianqian suddenly interrupted their words.
Missing women? Or were they young?
If he remembered correctly, this was not something new, as Han Qianqian had been following this line before.
It was just that, ever since she had met Hei Yu, these threads had slowly been lost.
Han Qianqian had tried to find them, but for one thing, the trail was broken, and for another, Han Qianqian had a lot of things to do at a later stage, so it was difficult to take care of them.
But what Han Qianqian didn’t expect even when he thought about it was that at this time, far away in the land of the demons, he was once again here, encountering what seemed to be a broken past.
“How many people have you lost?” Han Qianqian asked.
“Let’s put it this way, the Heavenly Demon Fortress is said to have nearly a million people, the largest city of the Demon Race apart from Burning Bone City. The Mythical Girls also bonus more than a hundred thousand people according to the proportion.”
“All of them are lost?” Han Qianqian frowned.
The youngest brother nodded, but without waiting for Han Qianqian to say anything, Scar continued, “And, it’s more than that.”
“More than that?” Han Qianqian was a little puzzled, the other party clearly had a point in his words.
“Good, in theory the number of women that are truly lost should be no less than half a million, that is to say, at least half of the total number base of the Heavenly Demon Fortress.”
“For, when there are no more maidens lost to be lost, the other women in the city, too, begin to disappear.”
“Even when they were at home, even when their men were at their side guarding them.”
“But the result is still the same.”
The youngest brother nodded back, “So many men guard their own women, only to have the women lost and the men disappear as soon as the night is over.”
“In time, the women were lost.”
“And then, the men were miserable.”
“The men were lost too?” Han Qianqian was puzzled.
If that was the case, then this seemed to be fundamentally different again from the case of the lost young girl he had met before.
“No!” Scar shook his head, “The men don’t lose them, basically put it this way, none of the men have ever lost them after the women are gone.”
“So you guys are hiding again?” Han Qianqian was even more confused.
Little Brother and Scar looked at each other with a smile full of bitterness.
“Of course we have to hide, because men really don’t lose them, they only get killed.”
“As long as there are no women in the house, once a man is found, he is dead.”
“What?” Hearing this, Han Qianqian couldn’t help but are shocked de stood up straight away!
