Chapter 102 The store manager decided to die
The message from Liu Shiyu came through the handset of his cell phone. When he heard that the target of this combat operation was Hei Yaksha, Cheng Feng's eyes flashed with surprise, and his face gradually darkened.
...The store manager was exposed?
...when was the news leaked?
Logically speaking, it is impossible to leak it.
Except for the store manager who took action last night when he was in crisis, the store manager has never stepped out of this coffee shop for so long.
How could it be exposed?
Even if there is a shortage of materials and goods in the store, it is the cat demons who are responsible, not the store manager.
It spends most of its time taking care of everything in the store and almost never leaves the store.
In recent times, the only time the store manager has been exposed to others was last night when Cheng Feng was fighting the werewolf Joyce.
After the store manager took action last night and helped him kill the enemy, he only had a brief exchange of words and then left.
From the beginning to the end, the time spent on the street was only about one or two minutes, and there should be no witnesses during this period.
Even if there were witnesses, it would be impossible to identify the skeletal devil in gray and black armor. He would be an old man, the amiable old manager of this maid cafe.
The two are too different to be linked together.
If a demon hunter happened to visit this cafe, it would be even less likely to discover the identity of the store manager.
Because the cafe has long been set up with a barrier that can isolate the monster's scent.
Therefore, even if a demon hunter does come into the store, no matter how keen his senses are, he will never be able to detect the aura of the store manager and others.
Even Liu Shiyu, a person who is so sensitive to monsters, didn't realize it at all before. This is the best example.
It is also because of the cover of the isolation barrier that the store manager has been able to remain unnoticed and undiscovered for so many years.
If you can't detect it, how did you expose it?
If the store manager appeared last night and was accidentally discovered by the association, then it would be impossible to prepare for combat operations the next day. The time is too fast.
It can be inferred from this that the Disaster Association may have been preparing for today's combat operation some time ago.
After all, the target this time is the predecessor’s ‘Abyss One’. Anyone who has heard of how powerful Black Yaksha was fifteen years ago will not dare to take it lightly.
Therefore, this "Black Yaksha Annihilation War" will be different from previous missions. In addition to dispatching a large number of combatants and guard manpower, a perfect strategy must be prepared accurately in advance.
In his heart, Cheng Feng didn't want the store manager to conflict with humans. After all, judging from its attitude, it no longer posed a threat to humans.
Even if the store manager was a devil who did many evil things more than ten years ago, for Cheng Feng personally, it is not enough to care deeply. The current interests are the most important.
The store manager is now a centrist and will no longer harm humans or help cannibal monsters.
If a human's attack causes the store manager to return to the path of monsters, that would be the biggest mistake.
This battle should have been avoided. The fighting caused by both sides will only increase casualties.
It's a pity that the idea of avoiding fighting is naive. The sins Black Yaksha committed in the past are too heavy for humans to let him go.
Of course, no matter how strong the store manager is, he may not have any chance of winning in this upcoming battle.
Now that things have reached this point, what we should be worried about now is what should we do now?
Thinking of what the store manager said just now, Cheng Feng finally understood what it meant.
Cheng Feng slowly put down his phone, his face darkening: "Store manager, do you already know?"
"yes."
The store manager took a sip of coffee, and his gray-haired and indifferent face was reflected on the water of the coffee.
Cheng Feng wondered: "Since you predicted the Disaster Association's actions today, why didn't you leave?"
"I am a heinous monster. Sooner or later, humans will come to impose judgment. The coming of this battle is just a matter of time. I can no longer escape."
The store manager's tone was calm, and he had obviously expected this day. From the indifferent expression, it could be vaguely seen that it was even prepared to die.
Cheng Feng picked up the token on the table and looked at the store manager intently: "That's why you asked me to come here last night just to hand over the token to me, so you can rest assured that you can go to Chiyue City."
The question is, go to die in peace, right?"
"You're right, this is indeed my idea."
There is a reason why the store manager left the important responsibility of Chiyue City to Cheng Feng.
It has lived for hundreds of years and has seen a lot of the ugliness of the world and the greed of people, but Cheng Feng is different.
Cheng Feng had been to the coffee shop twice before and left a good impression on it. In addition, Cheng Feng and Xue Ju had a good relationship and could be trusted in their conduct, so the store manager believed in him.
Cheng Feng held the golden token tightly: "In that case, what are you going to do with the maids who follow you?"
"I want to ask you for this."
The store manager said: "I hope you can take them away. After all, they are innocent and have never harmed anyone. They should not be involved."
Cheng Feng frowned: "What about yourself?"
The store manager looked out the window at the thunderstorm. The weather was just like his mood at the moment: "I will stay and fight the demon hunters who come until the last moment."
"Store manager, don't you understand? You can't win this battle at all!"
Cheng Feng said seriously: "Besides, if the girl who once saved you is still alive, she definitely doesn't want to see you killing humans."
Hearing this, the store manager was silent. Apparently these words moved his heart for a moment.
'Mr. Monster, can you please stop hurting people in the future?'
Fifteen years ago, the girl tilted her head and asked it innocently.
At that time, the store manager didn't care at all and even found the stupid girl's remarks ridiculous. If the injury hadn't been fully recovered, he would have killed her long ago.
But what it didn't expect was that later, when it saw the girl being shot by a human, it felt an inexplicable rage in its heart and killed all the demon hunters on the spot.
It thought it was a cold-blooded devil and thought it wouldn't care, but it found that it couldn't forget that stupid girl.
The stupid girl knew it was a monster, but she still saved it, hoping that it would stop hurting humans.
Why are there such stupid humans in the world?
Black Yaksha couldn't forget the girl's last words, and unknowingly, he kept them in his heart for fifteen years.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded outside.
The store manager stood up and looked out the door: "It seems it's too late, the Disaster Association has already formed an encirclement...
There is no time to make a choice."
