With his feet back on the ground and his temper cooled, Su Tang felt his sharp intelligence regaining the high ground.
Therefore, he was not surprised when he heard the screech of brakes suddenly echo from outside the factory.
If his calculations were correct, this had to be the Public Safety bureau.
Sure enough, through the floor-to-ceiling window beside him, he saw three people step out of a car.
The two following behind were clearly subordinates, dressed in Public Safety uniforms.
As for the one in front…
Not Hayakawa Aki?
Is it actually a girl?
A pale orange braid draped down to the upper-middle of her black trench coat, swaying gently against her spine in the night breeze.
She looked to be about 1.65 meters tall, but with the aura of that trench coat, she carried herself with the presence of someone 1.70 meters tall.
Seemingly sensing Su Tang’s gaze, the woman suddenly turned her head to look in his direction.
Those eyes!
Su Tang’s vision was naturally excellent.
Even though they were separated by a window and over ten meters of distance, to him, it felt like they were face-to-face.
He immediately caught sight of the woman’s golden pupils.
They contained concentric golden rings.
This instantly reminded Su Tang of Power’s eyes from earlier that day—they were just as alien to a normal person’s.
However, whereas Power’s eyes held a glowing red cross, and…
if the light in Power’s eyes seemed to be radiating outward, the light in this woman’s eyes seemed to be constantly absorbing the light around her.
Just from that single moment of eye contact, Su Tang felt uneasy.
It took a circulation of the fire energy within his body around his eyes for him to feel better.
Only then did he have the leisure to observe the rest of her—like her delicate face and lithe figure.
Though not as exaggerated or visually impactful as Reze, there was a certain “restraint-style” fullness to her beauty, accentuated by the white shirt and black tie.
It was a mix of both “sexy” and “dominating.”
Come to think of it, Su Tang realized that the girls he’d met today—Power, Denjiko, Reze…
their looks were all top-tier, even if some were stupid, some stank, and some were a bit too…
desperate.
Sure enough, there is no lack of beauty in life; one only needs a pair of eyes capable of discovering it.
Outside the window, the woman glanced at Su Tang once, dismissed him, and turned back to continue walking toward the main entrance.
Su Tang took a few steps forward.
Although he knew she was from Public Safety, if she walked in and saw Denjiko in this state, she would definitely identify her as a devil.
Denjiko was currently forcing herself to stay conscious, and it was clear she had exhausted herself.
If she were captured now, it would be a massive misunderstanding.
Fortunately, the woman did not act rashly.
Su Tang saw the leader raise her right arm, blocking the two followers behind her outside the door, and then walked in alone.
She first surveyed the interior of the factory, not lingering anywhere, before heading straight toward Denjiko.
Su Tang followed from behind, maintaining a safe distance.
This distance was enough to avoid being misunderstood by the woman, while still allowing him to rescue Denjiko in time.
“You…
give off a strange scent.
You are neither a devil nor do you seem like a human.”
The woman leaned in and sniffed lightly at Denjiko, speaking slowly.
Denjiko didn’t reply; she felt she was about to reach her limit.
“I’m with Public Safety.
I received a report about a devil to be cleared out here, but it looks like I’m late.”
The woman didn’t mind Denjiko’s silence, continuing in a gentle tone, “My name is Makima.
Did you do all of this?”
Makima?!
Su Tang raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name.
Wasn’t this the direct superior that Hayakawa Aki revered so much?
The leader of Special Division 4, wasn’t it?
She had actually come in person.
Facing Makima’s question, Denjiko could no longer hold on.
Her body seemed to lose its center of gravity, and she fell backward, muttering:
“Let me…
hug you.”
Su Tang blinked.
What did I just see?
This leader of Special Division 4 had actually embraced her without a moment’s hesitation!
And she was even pressing her head against Denjiko’s chest-wrap as if she were deeply attached!
Are they this open?
Rubbing his chin, Su Tang watched this scene with great interest.
As for whether Makima had some special “XP” (fetish), that was none of his business, and he didn’t care.
Coming from San Francisco, his level of acceptance for these things was quite high.
As the saying goes: respect, understand, and offer blessings.
However, Denjiko seemed to want to say something.
Her lips parted, and Makima leaned her ear in thoughtfully.
“Scram.”
The scene went silent.
Su Tang, standing in the back, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for Makima.
Just as he was wondering whether he should pretend he didn’t hear that, he saw Makima stand up, turn her head toward Su Tang quite calmly, and state in a flat tone, “She said, ‘Stinky woman, get away from me,’ and that she wants you to hug her.”
“Huh?”
Su Tang was stunned for a second.
He hadn’t expected that while he was just watching the show, the fire would suddenly land on him.
However, because Makima had moved aside, he was able to see Denjiko’s eyes clearly.
Those eyes looking at him were filled with anticipation, laced with a hint of inferiority and fear.
This kid…
Su Tang smiled, then took a long stride forward and reached out to pull Denjiko into his arms.
Whispering against her ear, Su Tang said softly:
“You’ve done enough.
Rest now.”
As the words left his lips, he felt the body in his arms go limp.
She had fallen asleep.
He gently placed Denjiko on the ground, and fearing the night floor would be too cold, he dragged over one of the corpses to act as a cushion beneath the girl.
“Huh.”
Standing back up, Su Tang was surprised to find that all the strange changes on Denjiko had vanished.
The chainsaw…
the metallic head…
the steel teeth…
They were all gone.
“Amazing, isn’t it?” A woman’s voice came from the side.
Su Tang turned his head to look at the woman with the pale orange hair, asking curiously, “Does Ms.
Makima know about her condition?”
“I don’t.
However…” Makima shook her head and said, “If she were out in the open like this, she would definitely be killed as a devil by civilian devil hunters.”
Su Tang nodded in agreement.
“By the way, did you kill this devil?”
“Aha, I did make a negligible little contribution.” Killing a devil was a good deed; Su Tang saw no reason to hide it, so he smiled and said, “Is Public Safety going to give me a certificate?
Or is there a bonus?”
Makima did not answer this question.
She tilted her head slightly, resting her chin on her hand as she appraised Su Tang, and suddenly asked:
“Mr.
Su Tang, correct?
I heard you mentioned by Hayakawa Aki during his work reports.
This may be a presumptuous question, but I would like to know: what devil have you contracted with?”
