While resting, Lin Qiye sat on the bed with his laptop. He opened an unmarked folder, and many files popped out.

Inside the files were the records of the Demon Hunter’s movements in the past year.

Where they had been, what missions they had done, their actions, what people and things they had come into contact with, as well as their schedules and private lives. It was all classified and displayed in detail.

There were even thermal imaging maps.

All in all, with Lin Qiye’s intuition and intelligence, he could defer 80% of the other party’s secrets from these documents.

He looked at the information on the laptop with a burning gaze.

His intuition told him that this Hell-level (Incarnation Realm) Scale-skinned Demon should have slowly infiltrated Jiang City a few months after the Emerald Lake incident.

Now, it just happened that it was about to infiltrate the demon-hunting squads.

Lin Qiye couldn’t let it infect the Alp level Demon Hunters because once it infected them, there were only three months left before Jiang City was destroyed, and Lin Qiye would die.

In other words, infecting Alp-level demon-hunting squads was merely the beginning.

Lin Qiye couldn’t stop it because, at this moment, he could only touch the Alp level’s power!

If it succeeded, Lin Qiye would lose control of this matter!

In short, he could not let it succeed!

Lin Qiye felt rather urgent. His eyes flashed.

“Canglan demon-hunting squad, on March 7th, accepted a mission to hunt down a Mountain-level demon. On the 15th, they discovered traces of the demon. After following the trail, they finally set up a trap on the 18th. The demon counterattacked on the verge of death, and one member was lightly injured…”

“Canglan demon-hunting squad, on May 3rd, accepted an exploration mission. On May 16th, they encountered a demon on Mount Daming. Two members got slightly injured…”

“Canglan demon-hunting squad, on July 10th, accepted an exploration mission. On July 13th, they encountered a demon at Mirror Moon Lake. One member was slightly injured…”

“Hundred Ghost demon-hunting squad, on January 9th, accepted an exploration mission. On February 1st, they encountered a demon on their way back…”

“Hundred Ghost demon-hunting squad, on March 1st, they accepted a collection mission due by March 10th.”

…

The Mountain-level squads alone had accumulated over a thousand pieces of information in a year.

Lin Qiye already knew this information like the back of his hand.

He went through it again and looked at it carefully.

He even saw thousands of details that were not shown in the information.

After he finished reading, Lin Qiye could not help but frown.

From the video, there was nothing unusual about all the Demon Hunters.

After all, the members of the squad were familiar with each other. While on a mission outside the city, they were highly alert. Therefore, even if the Scale-skinned Demon infected someone, they would be discovered quickly.

“Did it not infect anyone? The Scale-skinned Demon is so vigilant. Didn’t it attack the Demon Hunters first? Is it going against the usual way?”

Lin Qiye pinched the bone of his finger andfell into deep thought.

Although the appearance of humans infected by the Scale-skinned Demon wouldn’t change much, and their disguising ability was high, Lin Qiye wouldn’t miss a single detail.

All the demon-hunting squad and Awakeners in Jiang City had been under Lin Qiye’s watchful eye for a year. It was impossible that he could not find the Scale-skinned Demon.

“It seems like I should focus on ordinary people.

“Perhaps the Scale-skinned Demon was afraid of infecting the Awakeners at the beginning and attracting too much attention, so it deliberately did not infect them.

“I need to expand the scope of my investigation.”

Lin Qiye’s eyes were full of contemplation.

He currently knows that there was nothing suspicious about the Demon Hunters and the Awakened in Jiang City. Nothing was fishy about them.

However, the demons were already lurking and might be preparing to attack.

It must be a job related to the Demon Hunters or the Awakened.

Lin Qiye guessed that this job would definitely come into contact with the Demon Hunters daily.

Otherwise, how could it infect an Alp-level Demon Hunter on the first try?

Hence, Lin Qiye instantly thought of a group of civilians waiting to be chosen. Their job was to serve the Awakened and Demon Hunters. They could come into contact with them every day.

Lin Qiye quickly opened another folder andsifted through the information like lightning.

Finally, a young woman caught Lin Qiye’s attention.

“Xia Shishi, a commoner. A receptionist at the Jiang City Demon Hunter Mission Center. She has been working for two years.”

Her resume, her schedule, and her experience had no problems.

Lin Qiye could not find anything fishy about her.

But she had one detail. She was too good at socializing. As the receptionist at the Demon Hunter Mission Center, she was like a social butterfly.

She had learned much information from the demon-hunting squads.

Every time she heard something new, her gaze would darken, and it only lasted for a moment. Moreover, it was not easy to notice as there were only two videos in which this detail had appeared.

“If I were a Scale-skinned Demon, I would definitely choose this commoner to infect first…” Lin Qiye smiled.

Lin Qiye put himself into the Scale-skinned Demon’s shoes and finally locked onto Xia Shishi.

Of course, he still had to investigate further whether she was the one.

Lin Qiye opened up all the information, especially the video of Xia Shishi’s working place.

In the Demon Hunter Mission Center, Xia Shishi stood in front of the counter.

Her features were exquisite with makeup. Her cheeks were red, making her somewhat charming. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were seductive, and her fiery red lips were even sexier.
