Tang Luo entered the third floor.
He had only just stepped off the stairs, the flashlight in his hand not even in time to shine at the surroundings yet when a black shadow flew out of the darkness and attacked him in the head.
It moved lightning-quick, so much so that people couldn't react at all.
In fact, they wouldn't even be able to get a clear look at what exactly it was before they took the hit.
Well, in the case of regular mortals anyway, not Tang Luo.
Tang Luo reached out and grabbed it.
As though it had sent itself right into his hands, he easily caught the black shadow that was assailing him.
It began to struggle furiously. The amount of strength it exhibited was practically as though what Tang Luo was holding was a vibrating pump.
"A bat?"
Tang Luo looked at the true form of the black shadow in his hand. It wasn't some kind of strangely-shaped creature but an ordinary bat. Apart from the blood-red sheen in its eyes, there was nothing special about it.
He tossed it aside casually. The bat in his hand was sent flying at an even higher speed than earlier. After crashing into the wall, it turned into a pile of bloody mangled flesh.
The renovation work on the third floor was basically complete. Not only were there rooms, but even the doors had been installed.
However, there was rubbish everywhere. There was construction debris left behind from renovation works in the past, as well as quite a lot of household waste.
Homeless people had probably lived here before.
Tang Luo noticed a few people who were lying motionless on the floor. 
He went over and glanced at them. These were dry and shriveled up corpses whose skin stuck to their skeletons. The clothes on them were very new, however.
"They've been sucked dry."
Tang Luo squatted down and checked their bodies. There were two obvious bloody puncture marks on each of the corpses in places such as their necks and limbs.
Their blood had probably been sucked dry by that bat earlier.
The identities of these people didn't require much elaboration—they were naturally the members of the supernatural enthusiasts' group, Wang Shuishui's companions.
"A bat spirit? Doesn't really look like it though."
Tang Luo looked at the splotch of blood on the wall.
A tiny bat like this couldn't even count as a wild mountain spirit.
"Ahhhh!"
Before Tang Luo could make any further discoveries, a scream came from downstairs. It started out strong and then weakened.
Tang Luo took a couple of steps back. Then, he stepped on the floor with his right foot, creating a large hole right through the thick and solid floor.
Together with falling rocks, he landed on the second floor. 
Upon landing, the form of Wang Shuishui and an unknown man hugging entered Tang Luo's sight.
The two of them were locked in a passionate kiss and hug.
The way that the man was exerting so much strength, it was as if he wanted to knead Wang Shuishui's entire self into his body.
The exposed half of Wang Shuishui's face was contorted and filled with shock and fear. Her eyes involuntarily rolled up.
Tang Luo took a step forward, reached out, and grabbed the man's head. He pulled him over, as though he was catching hold of a little chick.
After bringing him close, Tang Luo took a glance and said, "He's dead. He can't be saved anymore."
Then, he applied force in his hand. The man's head broke into pieces. There was no blood at all, as though it was just an empty shell.
A wisp of black aura rose from him and swiftly disappeared.
The corpse that had fallen onto the floor also visibly shriveled until it reached a state of erosion by wind.
In just a few short seconds, it turned into a pile of ghastly white bones.
Wang Shuishui laid limp on the floor, her eyes tightly shut.
Tang Luo helped her up and shook her a few times, waking her up.
Wang Shuishui opened her eyes, which were now dull and murky. Then, a foolish smile appeared on her face and drool dripped down the corners of her lips. 
"Yin energy has entered her brain and turned her into an idiot. She can't be saved anymore either." Tang Luo reached out, gripped Wang Shuishui's neck, and pressed on it, rendering her unconscious.
Then, he went back upstairs to check out the area.
Apart from the corpses there, he didn't find anything else.
"The headcount doesn't tally. Where are the others?" Tang Luo wondered.
Compared to the number of people in the group who had confirmed their attendance, the number of people Tang Luo had seen was a few short.
'It's unknown where they currently are. Or were these the only ones who came? All of them are already here?'
Wang Shuishui had already turned into an idiot. She naturally wasn't able to answer Tang Luo's questions.
He expended a bit of power of virtuous merits and woke the woman pretending to be an animated corpse up in advance. 
A few minutes later, Tang Luo walked toward the neighboring villa.
According to what the woman pretending to be a ghost said, they had set out in two teams.
One of the teams stayed in this particular villa to do the setup while the rest were stationed at the other villa.
The villa at the other side was actually the true main course that they had spent a significant amount of effort on.
This one here was just an appetizer.
The other villa's degree of completion in construction was even lower than the first one. Even the enclosing walls of the courtyard were only half-built.
It was a bare-bones house where only the structure was fully constructed. All the doors and windows were in place, though.
When Tang Luo pushed open the main door of the villa, he unexpectedly saw a figure standing right in front of him. There was even a hint of a smile on his face.
At the same time, resentful and accusing sobbing could be heard coming from the corner.
This figure wasn't anyone else but Tang Luo himself!
A full-length mirror capable of showing a person's reflection from head to toe stood right opposite the doorway at an area not too far off.
There was even a red candle that had already burned considerably lit up in front of it.
It felt as if some kind of horrifying ritual[1] was being held here.
Tang Luo ignored the mirror and the candle and walked over to the corner. A black audio player smaller than the size of a hand sat there.
It was even blocked from sight by other things. Evidently, it was one of the elements of the so-called main course.
What a shame that they had run into Tang Luo, someone who was here to subdue and vanquish demons to earn merits, instead. This was equivalent to making eyes at a blind man.
"Is anyone there?" shouted Tang Luo.
The place remained silent. No one answered him.
His gaze swept across the surroundings casually, but he didn't see anyone on the first floor. Tang Luo headed to the second floor.
He had only just reached the intermediate landing of the stairs and turned when he saw another figure.
To his surprise, it was yet another full-length mirror.
In the darkness, Tang Luo's blurry form was vaguely reflected in the mirror.
Tang Luo continued his way up and checked out the whole villa.
Mirrors had been placed at several turning points and other similar corners.
Had they probably wanted to set up a mirror-themed haunted house?
Apart from the mirrors, Tang Luo didn't make any other discoveries.
He didn't see anyone, nor did he spy any backpacks. Oh, other than that tiny music box.
"Where did they go?"
On the top floor, Tang Luo shone his flashlight at the mirror in front of him and stared at it.
In an environment like this, even his own face in the mirror felt terrifying.
It made people's hair stand on end.
Stories of supernatural incidents related to looking at the mirror in the middle of the night were pretty widely circulated.
After staring at it for a while, Tang Luo turned and walked over to the window. He pushed the stuck window open and looked out.
In the distance were the city's lights, while sparse black vegetation could be seen in the vicinity.
Behind him…
Within the mirror that no longer had a source of light pointing at it, Tang Luo's form, however, didn't turn in tandem with his action of turning around.
It maintained the pose where it faced outward, as though… there was a real person inside the mirror.
The corners of the lips of the Tang Luo in the mirror curled up bit by bit. At the same time, he leaned forward with a weird smile and fully pressed his face against the mirror's surface.
Ripples, like waves of water, appeared on the mirror's surface, as though someone slowly surfacing from the depths of a pool.
The Tang Luo in the mirror walked out of the mirror soundlessly.
He raised his arm and aimed it at the "I'm on the top floor admiring the scenery" Tang Luo.
When his palm was ten centimeters away from Tang Luo's back, it suddenly sped up and became a lot more forceful, shoving Tang Luo on his back violently.
And yet he didn't even budge an inch!
The incident of someone falling off from a building didn't occur.
Tang Luo didn't even look like he was about to fall forward.
The person in the mirror paused in his movements.
Tang Luo slowly looked behind him and cast a glance at him through his peripheral vision. Then, his palm went smacking toward him.
Crash!
A crisp crash later, the person in the mirror flew through the air.
Upon landing on the floor again, cracks appeared on its body. Then, it broke into pieces like a mirror.
It turned into black aura again and vanished.
"So it really is a Mirror Demon," murmured Tang Luo.
Mirror Demons, simply put, were demons that formed when mirrors merged with things like vengeful spirits and ghosts. 
Strictly speaking, they weren't actually considered demons but ghosts.
Objects such as bronze mirrors, portraits, and whatnot were considerably easier for vengeful spirits and ghosts to possess and merge with.
God of the Portrait and Demon of the Mirror were terms that the common people used when referring to ghosts like these.
Most ghosts possessed abilities such as possession, consuming the essence, energy, blood and spirit of humans, and other similar kinds of abilities.
The bat and the man who couldn't be saved in the other villa earlier were examples of this.
In the case of Mirror Demons, they possessed other kinds of special abilities too. Some powerful Mirror Demons could even create mirrors-in-mirrors and pull someone into it.
This particular Mirror Demon most likely couldn't, however.
The 'Tang Luo' in the mirror was just a reflection of the most superficial level.
Now that he had determined the identity of whatever was making mischief, things were a lot simpler from here out.
He kicked the full-length mirror in front of him. It broke into pieces and fell onto the floor. 
"It's not this one." Tang Luo walked over to another mirror.
He reached out and gave it a push.
The person in the mirror similarly reached out—outside of the mirror.
It hit against Tang Luo's palm and broke into pieces, starting from the palm all the way to the mirror too.
"That's two down."
Uncertain which of the mirrors was the main body, Tang Luo broke all the mirrors in the villa.
There was a total of seven to eight mirrors anyway, so it wouldn't take him much time and effort.
When the typical human was up against a Person in the Mirror and other similar creatures, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be maimed nonetheless.
But to Tang Luo, this was a piece of cake. Even another hundred of them wouldn't be able to stop him from destroying all the mirrors.
The sound of mirrors breaking resounded in the villa.
In just a few minutes, Tang Luo had broken all the mirrors.
He was left with only the one that he saw when he opened the door. Standing behind it, Tang Luo kicked at it as usual.
The mirror even knocked the candle over and put it out when it fell.
"Alright, it's all over…" A smile spread across Tang Luo's lips. "Did you think I would say that?" 
He had indeed broken all the mirrors, but the Mirror Demon wasn't dead yet.
None of these mirrors were the Mirror Demon's main body.
The mirrors had been brought here by Wang Shuishui and the others.
If the Mirror Demon's main body had been hiding in them, Wang Shuishui and the others wouldn't even have had the chance to do any filming.
Therefore, the Mirror Demon's main body was likely a mirror in the villa.
Besides, no matter how weak the Mirror Demon was, its main body wasn't something that just a light push to the floor could break. Most importantly, he hadn't received any power of virtuous merits, proving that the Mirror Demon wasn't dead yet.
Tang Luo didn't know how the Mirror Demon in the villa had come to be. He guessed that all the mirrors set up by these fellows had activated the pre-existing Mirror Demon, thereby leading to the incident of tonight.
"Let me see…"
Tang Luo raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
During his search earlier, he had basically already combed through the whole place. 
The only place he left out was above him.
As expected, an old bronze mirror slightly larger than a person's hand was hanging right above Tang Luo.
It was roughly ten centimeters away from the ceiling.
If one didn't deliberately look up and happen to shine their flashlight across it, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to discover it.
Tang Luo leaped up and reached out to grab the mirror.
At that moment, four people were squeezed out of the mirror in an instant as well. They had deathly pale faces and crimson red eyes. Their original faces were already distorted.
Tang Luo neither recognized their current selves nor knew what they used to look like.
However, he could hazard a guess based on the headcount. These were the remaining few missing people.
After switching from a grabbing stance to a palm stance instead, Tang Luo's arched fingers suddenly straightened. All five fingers spread open, and he dealt an Airy Palm Hit right out!
[1] The red candle is used in a lot of traditional ceremonies and religious worship purposes in Chinese culture


After transmigrating to the ‘Journey To The West’ as the monk Tang Seng and successfully retrieving the scriptures, Tang Luo goes into seclusion to cultivate, only to “wake up” to a completely different world.
All the gods and Buddhas in the heavens have disappeared and only the concrete jungle of towering buildings stand tall and straight around him. He has actually returned to the contemporary age!
Except that he is now a player of The Game of Gods and Demons, weaving through various mission worlds as spirits and demons run amok.
Heavily injured? Barely any vital energy in the real world for cultivation? No problem, with his trusty Jade Lotus of Virtuous Merit, all will be fine.
Follow Tang Luo the Victorious Fighting Buddha as he clears missions in the Game, meets old friends and makes new allies, and punishes evil and advocates good to earn power of virtuous merit while he tries to find out what exactly had happened back then!
Demonic aura detected!
“Step back and let Master here handle it.”
Tang Luo reveals a “kind and benevolent” smile, just like in the past.

"Really?" Yun Jiuge exclaimed as her eyes lit up. She did not have many pets. Her Pipi Mouse previously was possessed by Cute Little Baby's consciousness, so it did not count.
Beside Mr. and Mrs. Treasure-hunting Scorpion, she was only left with the pink Mother Legendary Venomous Insect given to her by Jun Yichen.
Now that she had the opportunity to hatch the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect, she was certainly willing by all means.
"Of course," Zi Shang replied, feeling somewhat guilty when he saw Yun Jiuge so happy. The method that he taught was slightly savage. He hoped Yun Jiuge would not flip out.
"So, what do we have to do?" Yun Jiuge asked. She could not wait to take out the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect. A gentle light was radiating from inside the pink cocoon in her fair hands.
Zi Shang took the cocoon and under Yun Jiuge's expectant gaze, threw it over to the place with the most intense Fiendish Qi.
The pink cocoon streaked across like a meteor in front of Yun Jiuge and disappeared into the endless darkness. The Walking Corpses and evil spirits swarmed around like sharks sensing blood and overwhelmed the insect in an instant.
"Ahh! What are you doing!" Yun Jiuge screamed and turned around, wanting to rescue the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
Zi Shang grabbed Yun Jiuge by the shoulders and said in a composed manner, "Don't be anxious. Your Legendary Venomous Insect which should have hatched long ago was just lazy to come out. If you don't give it a little push, it'll really become a fossil."
"But you don't have to goad it this way! What if something happens?" Yun Jiuge replied.
"If something goes wrong, I'll save it," Zi Shang answered. He would not let anything happen to the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
"You'd better keep to your word," Yun Jiuge angrily responded. Her eyes anxiously stared at the center area swarming with Walking Corpses.
The original dark black fog suddenly undulated. A small vortex appeared out of thin air and expanded continuously. The whole space throbbed violently like angry waves in the sea.
The Walking Corpses were swept into the vortex and instantly torn to pieces before turning into black fog.
The place where the cocoon disappeared suddenly spewed out alternating black and white rays that lit up the whole space in an instant.
Next, a black-and-white butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew up, circling over everyone's heads with a dizzying mist of light.
This butterfly was roughly the size of a palm, and its left side was pure black with a fine decorative design forming a vicious male devil's head. Its right side was pure white, but resembling the face of a kind-looking woman.
Right in the middle was a black colored body. Its head had the face of a delicate, cute girl. It was pouting its lips as if it was angry.
"A Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly?" Zi Shang thought to himself. He raised his eyebrows and transmitted a message to Yun Jiuge saying, "Ahhh, lucky you. After this Legendary Venomous Insect absorbed Cute Little Baby's Demon Qi, it actually evolved into such a rare breed."
"What's so special about this Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly?" Yun Jiuge asked, with her eyes fixated on the black-and-white butterfly.
"As the name implies, a Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly can reverse the Qi of Yin and Yang. It can even create vitality in dead areas. It's a rare treasure. But yours is still quite young, so it can only deal with these Walking Corpses," Zi Shang replied flatly.
A fully evolved Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly could create a small world in itself. It was the best Weapon Spirit to refine a miniature world but was also a favorite treasure of the powerful presence.
Yun Jiuge's eyes lit up and she hurriedly waved to the black-and-white butterfly as she said, "My darling, quickly come to Big Sister."
The black-and-white butterfly shot a glance at Yun Jiuge when it heard her call. It continued to pout and ignore her, still looking angry from being thrown out.
"My darling, don't be angry. Big Sister has candies for you," Yun Jiuge cajoled as she poured out two Cherry Pills onto her hand.
At this, the black-and-white butterfly landed satisfactorily on Yun Jiuge's hand. After it ate the Cherry Pills, it obediently rested on her shoulder. It was easily coaxed after all.
"Darling, you'll be called Feifei from now on!" Yun Jiuge said as she tenderly touched Feifei's little head.
Feifei flapped its black-and-white wings. It was very satisfied with the name.
"Miss Yun, can I ask what breed your butterfly is? Where can I find one?" Leng Hui asked as he looked at Feifei with excitement.
He had just seen with his own eyes how the small butterfly flapped its wings and the Fiendish Qi became a vortex. Those Walking Corpses and evil spirits were trapped inside the vortex and could not come out.
If he could have such a butterfly too, then he would not have to worry about Hui Kingdom being corroded by Fiendish Qi again.
"It's a Legendary Venomous Insect given to me by a friend. It's unlikely that there's another one in the world," Yun Jiuge replied while shaking her head.
Jun Yichen had bred so many Legendary Venomous Insects and only produced Feifei, the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
Moreover, during the process of spinning its cocoon, it was corroded by Pipi Mouse's Demon Qi. It was due to this fortuity that it developed into a Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly. It would be difficult to recreate another.
"I see," Leng Hui uttered in extreme disappointment.
He wanted to buy this butterfly from Yun Jiuge. But when he saw how fond Yun Jiuge was of this butterfly, perhaps she would not part with this cherished pet. But he did not want to give up without asking.
Leng Hui was thinking about how to bring up the topic when Leng Bai pulled him over and pointed to the open space that emerged after the Fiendish Qi vanished, saying, "A thoroughfare has appeared."
A black ladder appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go!" Yun Jiuge said excitedly as she waved.
The female Scorpion and Feifei had both gained benefits. It could be the Treasure-hunting Scorpion's turn in the next floor. She looked forward to this quite a bit!
Zi Shang swept his icy gaze across Leng Hui and his brothers before he took hold of Yun Jiuge's hand to get on the black ladder.
Leng Hui momentarily choked on his saliva. Zi Shang's gaze clearly warned them not to get any ideas.
"Big Brother, things are already good now," Leng Bai commented. He understood his oldest brother's intentions and he also very much wanted to have that amazing butterfly.
But he was well aware that their entire Hui Kingdom was not worth mentioning to these two foreign Cultivators. Angering them would only bring catastrophe.
"Okay," Leng Hui answered as he helplessly suppressed his idea and followed suit in going up the black ladder.
The seventh floor was a Labyrinth of Mirrors. Panels of incomparably smooth crystal mirrors filled up the entire space, as if there were countless figures staring back at them. It made them dizzy.
"How can we pass through this?" Yun Jiuge asked. She looked at the densely packed reflections of herself in the mirrors and felt goose bumps.
"Let me have a look," Zi Shang replied as he looked around to assess the situation.
"The sixth and seventh floors are both Labyrinths. These mirrors are formed by Fantasy Qi, so breaking them won't work. The only way to get through this is to find the right passageway," Leng Hui said.
The Labyrinth of Mirrors might have seemed simple, with the mirrors looking like they could be easily broken. But for it to appear on the sixth floor showed how complex a place it was.
If someone inexperienced were to blast the mirrors to pieces, he would immediately be taken back to the first floor. The Labyrinth would then also start to spread from the first floor. One would be trapped inside forever if one could not find a way out. This was one of the most complex obstacles in the tower.
"I hate walking in a Labyrinth," Yun Jiuge commented. She was most troubled by these paths that looked identical and not knowing whether to turn left or right.
"Take your Panic Grass out," Zi Shang instructed. He had already come up with a way.


She roused from a pool of blood, vowing to exact retribution on those who had harmed her. 
She slapped her despicable father and smacked his wicked concubines 
 She trampled on a two-faced girl who acted innocent but had a malicious heart, and pointed her sword towards the heartless man who was unworthy of her love. 
Countless beasts trembled in front of her cute pet, and her divine artifact intimidated even the Ninth Heaven. 
As soon as her Elixir  Furnace was lit up, the world came to kneel before her. 
Between him and her, it all started with a fair trade. Yet, the handsome demon ended up being obsessed with her. 
“Lay an egg for me, and I’ll promise you a peaceful life in any of the three realms!” He wrapped himself around her eagerly. 
“Leave me alone, and I’ll grant you a long life till eternity!” She pushed him away with a defiant laugh. 
 

The first thing Jason and Caroline sensed after they were swallowed by the black smoke, was a painful screech coming from some.

The next thing they felt, was that as if they were being thrown in all kinds of directions, yet they were somehow not hitting anything.

Slowly they regained their vision and their ability to move, and the giant spider legs for some reason let go of them and they just fell on the hallway floor.

Sounds of cracks and pops, the smell of smoke and the feeling of heat surrounded them - the hotel hallway was burning. There were two very conspicuous holes in the floor, and around these two holes were a couple of burning piles of tar-like matter. 

The giant human-formed spider struggled in the burning hallway and tried to back away from where Jason and Caroline were. It appeared to be extremely fearful of the silver and orange flames that were burning all around the hallway and it appeared to be missing a few of its legs.

"Pop!" a piece of the carpet beneath one of the spider's leg burst out burning in silver and orange flame. The spider jumped and tried to move the leg away, yet a large chunk of this leg was already burned by the flame. Some of the human bodies that formed it seemed to be melted off and dropped on the ground, and started burning like drops of tar-like matter around the holes in the floor.

"Carry them away!" Caroline gave Jason a push and knocked him out of his shock and confusion, then pointed at Branston, Brian and Adam: "We must carry them away!"

"Right! Now!" Jason came to himself and rushed to the side of the three unconscious young men with Caroline, and started dragging them away from the fires.

The spider was finally able to back away and into the shadows. But its body was already badly damaged when it did. There were some parts of its body that caught fire, it just shed the burning human body parts like chunks of dead skin, exposing the internals of its body in the process.

And even through the fires and almost a whole hallway away, Jason and Caroline were still able to make out a part of the human-formed spider's "core" : it was a woman, in a golden-colored gown cradled in a fetal position. Unlike all other parts of the limbo, this woman and her gown had color on them and were not grey.

After letting out a loud and threatening screech, the spider disappeared into the shadows at the far end of the hallway.

When Jason and Caroline came to, they found that they were still standing in the hallway, and to their relief the hallway was not on fire at all.

But something definitely was on fire, since they smelled smoke.

"Caroline? Your backpack!"

"And yours!"

Looked like while they were in the limbo, something ignited all the incense in both their backpacks, the insides of their backpack were burned and badly damaged. But luckily, nothing else caught fire.

The folded paper sigils were also burnt down into barely recognizable pieces, and each of their metal mirrors were in incredibly high temperature and Caroline almost got her hand burnt while she was cleaning out her backpack.

Branston, Brian and Adam did not wake up as fast as Jason and Caroline, and they seemed to be very confused when they did.

"Stream's disconnected. What happened? Did we stream at all?" Branston asked Brian and Adam, yet neither was able to give him an answer.

"Hey, Caroline, Jason." Brian ran up to the two who were staring at two bunches of incense in their hands: "Looks like we got confused there for a bit, did we do the stream? Do you guys remember?"

"... No?"  Caroline thought for a minute and decided she wanted to play dumb: "I don't remember much from before. What do you remember?"

"Honestly? Almost nothing." Brian turned back and took a look at Branston who was trying his hardest to adjust his camera and get the stream online, and Adam on the side helping him, while his expression clearly showed that he was trying really hard to remember what happened.

"It's probably for the best." Caroline smiled, "I felt like we went through something terrifying, it's a blessing in disguise if we cannot remember anything."

"Caroline? Look at the smoke." Jason interrupted the brief conversation between Brian and Caroline.

Some of the incense in their backpacks was still burning, and a lot of the smoke that was trapped in there was also released when they tried to get things out. Yet the smoke did not dissipate like normal smoke would, nor did it rise up to the ceiling or out the window. Instead, all of the smoke drifted through the air across the hallway and gathered around a decorative pillar half embedded in the wall at the far end of the hallway.

The smoke from the incense was light, not cough-inducing and even had a calming smell, yet somehow it started to char that piece of the decorative pillar.

Jason and Caroline's eyes met, the same realization just came over them.

"Fuck yeah! I just got it working!" Branston cheered as he finally got his camera to start shooting and his livestream back online, "Woah, the chats we got, it's insane!"

"Let me see. What are they saying? " Brian and Adam hastily took out their phones to check the status of the live stream.

A loud bang startled Branston, Brian and Adam. As they looked over to where the sound came from, they saw Jason and Caroline violently tearing up a decorative pillar in a wall at the end of the hallway.

"Woah woah woah! Guys! We are not supposed to do this!" Brian quickly rushed to Jason and Caroline's side and exclaimed: "You can't cause damage to the hotel! What do you think you're doing?"

"Hey! What are you guys doing there!? What's with the smoke!?" two doors opened and several guests came out of their rooms: "Stop it! We're calling the hotel staff!"

Jason and Caroline did not even slow down, they already broke the surface of the decorative pillar, and they started breaking and pulling out what was inside: dusty fillings, old wooden boards and panels.

"Stop it! Stop it!" a female guest sounded like she was about to cry: "This is a historic hotel! You can't do this!"

"Historic, made sense..." Jason muttered as he reached his hand down to the hole they made and pulled out a piece of wood panel that for some reason seemed corrupted and blackened.

"Stop what you're doing, now!" two security guards from the hotel made it to the scene and tried to drag both Jason and Caroline away, but big and tall as they were, they were pushed to the side.

"Branston! Your camera! Come here!" Caroline yelled at the three young men who just seemed to get every streaming device online, "Turn on your flashlight and take a look down here!"

"There's a body inside!" noticing that Branston was hesitant because of the presence of the bodyguards, Caroline spelled out loudly what she and Jason found.

He left his home, unwillingly, to a realm of cultivation, Xianshu, mythical manuals and Dao. And now he’s here due to a failed attempt at going home, a place bears a lot of resemblance but not the same.

“At least it’s close enough here. I’ll get there on my next jump.” Jianmen Yu said to himself, “But while I’m prepping, let me do my old job here for a bit.”

And there we have it, “Xianshi Inn”, run by a cultivator, who’s not of this world. Don’t mess with it or its employees, the owner will kick your ass, no matter who you are, no matter WHAT you are.

With everybody focused on the castle once again, Dani ordered the invasion. They jumped the wall one by one. Logan cast an illusion that kept them mostly hidden as they snuck into the courtyard. The team remained low, keeping their formation as before. Closer to the castle, within the courtyard, snowmen patrolled. This was easy for Logan and Leira to handle.

They ducked behind fresh carven fixtures throughout the courtyard. Decorative stone statutes and well-trimmed bushes were merely tools for them to kill the enemy. The pair snuck around laying traps to stun while silently killing the snowmen with fire magic. It was quite frequent that Logan would set a fire trap and allow Leira to kill them with a flame arrow. The two executed the plan flawlessly, leading Dani and Andres to the castle wall.

The wall had a beautiful exterior design that would allow them to climb up to a balcony on the third floor. Andres even cracked a joke that it pays not to be fancy. Logan began climbing up with an illusion to help prevent anything from seeing them. Dani stuck close behind him, Leira struggled her little way in front of Andres who was most suited to carry her in a worst-case scenario.

Once they climbed up, the four had quietly jumped down to a balcony on the third floor. They remained hidden low while Logan sensed inside the castle. Leira peaked over the balcony, gazing upon its beauty. She admired the was the water was frozen from the fountains and the trees. Snowman patrolled through un-ventured areas of the courtyard. She couldn't help wondering what it would be like to ice skate on the large frozen fountains. Andres was smashed into the balcony which brought Leira back into focus.

Andres rose his shield in time as a giant bold pincer stabbed at him. The pincers continued stabbing at Andres prompting Leira to shoot it away. As she stood up turning towards the hairy attacker, Leira's legs began to tremble. Her bow aimed away to the ground while Leira herself was screaming. She squirmed herself into a corner on the balcony in hopes that her escorts would.

Andres was being smashed into the floor while maintaining a firm grip on his shield. The hairy creature stood tall with its spider body pushing forward. instead of a head, it had a human torso with giant eyes around its stomach, chest, and sides. There was no mouth visible. The pincer arms felt like missiles while banging into Andres' shield. It tried to aim for his legs. Andres wasn't a weak player to give the enemy that kind of privilege.

Leira was now crying harder than Mina ever did. Her face was between her legs, kissing her ass goodbye while tears spilled on the floor. Andres yelled for her not to quit. Luckily for him, Leira had no will to make any decision on her own at the moment.

Spring to his feet to dodge a pincer strike, Andres tossed his shield at the creature. It slammed into its eyes. Yet the creature chased Andres quicker. He parried with his sword to slice the left arm. He rolled over to grab his shield. The creature swung at him hard, but Andres tanked the full swing with his shield. After being slammed into a wall, a giant fireball shot the creature off of the balcony. Dani stood in a firm stance firing at multiple while Logan was slicing through the injured ones to kill them. Andres ran over to continue the fight while Leira sat in her corner.

It wasn't long for the three to kill off the creatures. Sure it wasn't tactical. In fact, they were now exposed in the castle. Even so, they were still full of energy and ready to take on another boss.

Logan grabbed up Leira by the hand, pulling on her to follow them. Andres began storming through the halls of the castle, guiding them through the safest routes. Room by room, the four ran launching surprise attacks on their foes. Leira was scared of the creatures. Likewise, she was amazed by the beautiful crystal design of the castle. They looted the rooms afterward and found many points in treasure chests. Further looting allowed the team to find a new bow and axe for Leira. Andres chose to carry the axe on his hip to continue using his 

Dani couldn't help to notice that they weren't getting anywhere running around the castle. Unfortunately, Andres couldn't find any new routes. He was stuck leading the team in circles endlessly. Even Leira knew there was something up.

Dani began recounting their chosen pathways in the castle as Logan looked about the crystalized mirrors on the walls. He observed how each one reflected him. Slowly motioning his hand, Logan realized that one of the mirrors reflected him slightly different.

"What's up Logan?" asked Andres as Logan himself faced the mirror with a slightly different reflection.

"Let's smash it," he said.

In an instant, Dani fired a pure magical bullet that smashed the mirror to dust. The crystallized dust blew around towards the center of the room to form a scythe-wielding warrior made of crystallized glass. Its glass eyes were filled with sorrow. He launched himself at Leira for a kill. Each swing of his scythe sent a gust of ice particles that froze anything it touched. Andres defended Leira, allowing Dani to shoot at the crystal warrior multiple times. Once Logan was close enough, he used his sword to disable the warrior and dodged the warrior's counterstrike. Andres threw his shield at the warrior's head, allowing Logan to pierce his sword into him.

"Scatter," yelled Logan, causing the warrior the shatter into tiny glass pieces.

Leira stood recalling how the warrior was able to freeze things and wondered why would Logan get close to such a warrior. She looked at Logan's face and noticed his smile. It wasn't a smirk of victory. Rather it was a smile of fun that people commonly wore when they were aroused playing sports or a video game.

Dani walked over and smacked Logan on his head. This didn't hide Andres' cheeky smile as he grabbed his shield.

The two boys laughed as Dani tried to pull them together. She looked over at Leira who was pretty lost on the motives at this point.

"They're just having fun," said Dani as she shook her head. "But seriously, we need to take this seriously. So get it together".

"I don't know what you want from us," smirked Andres, "You know we love this".

The agitated Dani pointed out that nothing was behind the smashed mirror and there were likely more mirrors that they must destroy to unlock something. This was quite obvious, causing Logan to mock her. Dani refrained from beating Logan further and insisted that they look for more mirrors to break. This was fine with the boys. Though as they began retracing themselves around the third floor of the castle, Logan couldn't help but notice that one of the giant mirrors in the hallway had a tint of red. They stopped to investigate it. Yet couldn't find any abnormalities.

Thus the four continued smashing the odd mirror in each room and subsequently defeating the scythe-wielding warriors from each mirror. This left them roaming about looking for the next piece to the puzzle. Coming across the giant mirror in the hallway again, the team realized it was no longer tinted, but rather red. 

Dani positioned her team behind a fixture, ready for combat. She shot out a well charged magical bullet that blew up the mirror. Leira felt the shockwave of glass brush through them. Her skin felt as though sandpaper was yanking her hairs off her body. Her heart was about to burst until Andres called "clear".

Dani gasped as she looked towards the shattered mirror. Leira took a peak witnessing a giant hidden room now accessible. Unlike the rest of the third floor, this hidden room was made of a dark stone with bloodstains on the walls. The air from this form blew out a stank that was foreign to Leira but strong enough to make her not want to go in. What's worse, there was a circular platform in the wall with two chained giants next to it. 

"They're dead," said Logan as he sauntered towards the platform. 

Andres looked at the two dead giants realizing that despite being dead, they were still conscious. Unlike Logan who was eager to ride the platform with Dani, Andres approached the two lifeless giants. 

Chains were attached to their spine and joints, bounding them to the wall. "Please help us," begged the giant on the left. A black venom spewed from his mouth. 

"What happened to you guys?" asked Andres, observing the scarless bodies of the giants. 

The giant on the right began shaking as he stretched his arms and said, "We're prisoners of Eisheth Zenunim. She has captured our souls and imprisoned us here in the Tower of Envy". 

The left giant continued, "Please if it's not too much. Release us from the belly of the hungry bride. You must rip her stomach open to free the souls of her many victims". 

"Where can we find her?" asked Andres. 

The right giant answered, "In the far castle with her husband, The King of The Fifth Realm. Free our souls and return to this forest. And we will show our gratitude by granting you our power". 

The giants believed the sincerity in not only Andres' eyes but also in his words as he spoke, "I accept your quest. I will venture to the tombs of Samael himself. Find this wicked witch by the name of Eisheth and drive my blade through her stomach". 

The two giants held their hands out as a way to give thanks for Andres' generosity as he continued, "And when I am done, I will be back to claim my reward and have a good solid quest defeating demons with my two new friends". 

Andres nodded his head at the two giants as he walked onto the platform. Black venom tears rolled the cheeks of the two imprisoned giants as they turned their heads. Everybody stared back at the giants in question of what they were about to do. 

"We're sorry," said the two giants, "You do not have access to use this elevator. We must send you all to the beast for consumption". The platform closed itself off to not allow anybody off.

"Assholes," responded Dani. 

The giants continued, "Only by defeating the demon in the keep to which we send and stealing the jewel from its collar will thou be allowed to travel to all floors". 

Andres gave a smile that cheered the cold hearts of the giants and said, "then so be it". 

Symbols on the walls surrounding the platform glowed. The platform began lowering itself to the dungeon at the bottom of the castle. Logan remained patient with his hands covering his pelvic. He sternly told Andres, "You're full of shit". Dani nodded her head to Logan's truthful words.

Lu Fang couldn't go rough. He couldn't slam Andrea to the bed. He could not lift her without warming and he couldn't pound her from behind as fast as he used to since she was already pregnant.
His plan was simple. He would ask his beloved wife to help him come many times before doing her again. By doing so, he may be able to control himself. At the same time, he would let her have a taste of what it felt like holding back. 
The couple had already set-up huge mirrors in their room and that was their first stop. Just beside the walk-in closest stood two oversize mirrors adjacent to each other, creating an angle.
The man laid on the floor while Andrea was on top of him facing one of the mirrors sucking his length down her throat. 
Lu Fang had a perfect view of his wife's movements through the reflection. What added to the excitement was the fact that his face was right in front of her pink entrance. He licked her folds softly as his hands messaged both her bottom cheeks enjoying the taste of her white juices. 
All of a sudden, he heard a pop sound from Andrea's direction, "Babe, I can't have too many orgasms. Don't lick me consistently."
"I promise, I won't do it as much - Aaahhh! Keep sucking me, babe." He interrupted himself as he let out a moan. He could feel his wife's tongue playing against his rod, moving it, slurping while inside her mouth.
"Babe, you've gotten so much better," he complimented. 
She let go of his length again before explaining her side, "I had a lot of practice this week."
After finding out about the semen's possible nutritional value. She had been giving the man his daily blow and swallowing it all in. Her research suggested that one load contained small portions of fat, sodium, protein and even minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, as well as copper. In some cases, it may even have traces of vitamin B12. How could she say no to free vitamins?
Of course, that was only an excuse. She enjoyed pleasing her husband and seeing the look on his face each time he lets go of his fluid. 
"Babe, I'm almost ready to come…. I want to do it in your face."
Andrea laid quickly on her back so the man can properly jerk off in front of her. With his legs apart, he stood on his knees and in-between Andrea's upper body, he came to her angelic face.
In the next hour, Andrea continued to help the man with her mouth for two more instances that she felt her jaws began to sore. 
Lu Fang already felt tired and finally, he thought, he was ready for the last one. He turned to her side and started kissing Andrea once more and lifted both her hands, holding it with one hand. Then and there, Andrea felt her hands being restrained. The man had cuffed her to the bed. 
Her mouth hung open. She immediately protested, "Babe? Are you going to get rough with me? You know that's not allowed."
"Don't worry, babe. I will be gentle. I just want to make you feel how it is being restrained."
She burst out laughing. Apparently, the man took it by heart way too much, to the point of being frustrated, having held himself back. 
He went back to devouring her lips as his hands constantly moved, squeezing every fold on her body. The moment his hand reached her bottom lips, moans could be heard across the room. 
Andrea was starting to feel upset. She wanted to hold him, touch him and stroke his stick, but she could only lie down and watch him do everything. The thought of being restrained intensified the feeling of pleasure.  
Lu Fang felt her entrance getting wet. His fingers were already soaked and knew it was time to get it on. He stood up and positioned in between her thighs and started rubbing his tip against her clit. 
"Aaahh… Babe, you know me too well, " said Andrea. 
She had always loved the feel of his stick against her peach and most especially on her clit.  
The moment she bit her lip the man could no longer hold it and slowly pushed his rod inside her. 
"F**k! Aaahh…" Lu Fang cried out of satisfaction. Four months from now, he would not be allowed to enter this heaven, so he recorded this day clearly in his head. 
The man's pumping was slower than his usual giving Andrea a different sensation. She felt it was romantic. This was a different side of Lu Fang she has not seen before - Gentle. 
"Aaaahhh... Sccchh...."
It did not take long for them to both reach orgasm and Lu Fang finally released his load inside her wombed. 
After letting her hands free, they both cuddled into each other's arms and fell asleep. For the rest of the day, they decided to just relax at home and get in touch with families and friends as they had set to have their ceremony after three weeks. 
Back in Europe, Alfred and Nancy have been arguing since last week. She learned about Christina and she refused to divide the wealth of the Davies. Christina left the family on her own and was disowned by her in-laws. To her, she did not deserve to come back. 
Unfortunately for Nancy, Alfred was fed-up with her ways. She was too hungry for power to the point of marrying him without love and having Andrea kidnapped. Even Gabriel's life has been controlled by her. 
Gabriel had no objections to his plans. So in secret, he had drafted the transfer of assets where 30% of it would go to Christina Lu. He set aside a substantial amount of money for alimony as he intended to file for a divorce. He then divided the rest of the assets between him and his son. 
Upon their return, Gabriel had also broken up with Taya. This made Nancy desperate as she ended up managing the shares of the Ivanovs on her own. 
Nancy immediately placed the blame on Andrea for the way her husband and her son changed drastically. Alfred and Gabriel did not explain to Nancy their actions that she immediately assumed Andrea seduced Gabriel back to her life.  She intended to find out for herself by going to China and confront Andrea. 
To learn of Andrea's whereabouts, Nancy had been spying on her husband and son. Eventually, she heard the two talking about going back to Beijing for a wedding. She did not know who's wedding it was but feared that it was for Andrea and her son, Gabriel. 
She immediately reported her findings to Taya and her family. Both sides agreed that they would fly out to Beijing and put Andrea in her proper place. 


[COMPLETED]

"Andy, I love you so much." The man said while taking a breather after a long kiss.

Andrea closed her eyes and held his face giving him small kisses before answering. "I love you too." 

"Babe, I know I said I'd wait till we get married, but… - " 

"Shhh…" She interrupted him and teasingly bit her lip before smiling. She gave him another set of kisses before finally adding, "I never asked you to wait… I want you too…"

 ***

 "Andy, tell me about your family? What have you been up to before we met?" 

Andrea's head was leaning against his torso thinking of what to say to him. She was suddenly silent and began sorting through a pile of secrets in her head, trying to decide where to start. 

She then turned to the side and hugged him tightly. 

"Andy?" 

"Sometimes, I wonder if I am that really important to you."

 ***

BANG! BANG! 

Lu Fang closed his eyes anticipating pain to follow but as he opened his eyelids, he felt nothing.

“Andy! Andy!” 

He screamed at the top of his lungs when he realized it was Andrea and not him who received the bullets and fell off the cliff.

" Like .. really really real ! " I exclaimed . "Either that or we are stuck in the same fever dream. " I pass the large statue in the center of the campus , and it swivels it's head to look at me .
    "  Oh , that's just the security system , set to vaporize any Attuneless intruders . But there hasn't been one in... well , I don't even know " Griffin said .
 ( I would love not to be vaporized ) I  keep an eye on the statue , but soon as it looks away . I let out a relieved sigh . When I turn back , I've reached the massive double doors at the front of the school. " Welcome to Penterghast ! If you follow me this way , I'll show you to the ..... " Griffin starts towards the staircase but the loud chiming of the bell stops him . He looks at his watch with a start . 
" Oh crap ! . I totally forgot about the thief team meeting I'm supposed to go to ." . 
" Wait.. you can't leave me ..." I said.  " Of course not ! I'll drop you off to the dining hall . We're just gonna speed this tour up is all . "
 I follow him up the stairs , which leads to an adjoining hallway . 
" The dining hall is just at the end of this hallway and to the left . This is school's main building so there are a lot of offices and stuff here . Reception , the dean's office.. classrooms...some of the attunement placements exams are held here too ."                  " attunement placements ? " I asked.
  " I think it's kind of silly , too. I knew Earth was my thing when I caused a tiny earthquake throwing a tantrum over a desert when I was 5 " . " Right ,  Totally " As I pass one of the doors off the hall , I  hear a small commotion coming from inside.
 The voice says " Oh hell " . " Uh Griffin ? what's in this room ? " I asked.  " That's the hall of mirrors , where you were supposed to come through " .
 The first thing I see when you open the door is a beautiful girl with long , dark hair , trying desperately to pull her foot out of a floor length mirror .
 " Oh thank goodness,  some assistance  
please? "
              Me and Griffin rush over , each take one of her hands , and tug until she comes free . She stumbles right into your arms and blows her bangs out of her face with a smile. 
       " Opps , Shreya mistry , in your arms and at your service . Good catch , by the way " Shreya straightens up and smoothes out her hair. Shreya  said " I am always having trouble with these mirrors , to be honest,  I much prefer the air travel. But at least I made it . I was about five minutes away from  starting my freshmen year a month late." 
I asked  "Why a month? ". She answered " That's when the first visitors' day is , when the wards reopen, of course. Guess Penterghast is stuck with me now. " . 
       Griffin said " Well welcome , I am Griffin , this is Cristi . She is a freshmen too . I was just showing her to the dining hall if you want to come with. ". 
      " No need , I know just where it is , I'm a legacy student. " Shreya said .
        she struts out of the hall of mirrors. A short while later Griffin stops in front of a pair of ornate doors .
        " Well , that ends the Griffin tour ! Sorry it was kind of rushed , I've gotta go , good luck with the rest of orientation " Griffin said. 
       He's already bounding away down the hall . I turn toward the giant double doors and steel myself before I push them open .As I slip into the hall , I'm momentarily overwhelmed by the high ceilings , stained glass windows , and the countless dining tables . A handful of head  swivels in my direction , though the dean continues to drone on up front. 
       " Hey , over here ! " A guy with a megawatt smile waves me over to a nearby table , and you hurriedly slides into the seat next to him .
          " Hey , you're late . I'm Zephyr , you can call me Zeph if you want ." he said.  " I'm Cristina,  you can call me Cristi ." . " So , Cristina , what's your attunement? " he said . " I , uh , I'm waiting for tommorow to find out for sure. Don't want to jinx it ? " I said.
              He opens his mouth to respond , but is cut off by the dean loudly clearing her throat . Dean goeffe said " In conclusion,  I'd like to remind you all that this is an institution of higher learning , not a playground for children . Put in work or go home ." 
              Around me , the students starts to rise to their feet and shuffle towards the door . The dean walks briskly off - stage .

'Jennings, you take this guy up to holding, then bring me some backup.' I order.
'Sir, you can't go in alone, if-'
I hold up my hand, causing him to choke on his words. There wasn't time for this.
'Hurry up!' I repeat.
Jennings took charge of Soren, one hand on his leash, the other on his waistline. The whole image reminded me of a skinny nerd taking his rabid dog out for a walk, no, that wasn't fair, the young lad had proven himself back there. He knew what he was doing.
Nodding to myself, I make a cautious approach to Daisy's shop. The broken shards of glass are cracking under my feet; if someone were inside, I'd just told them where I was.
The steel door was cold to the touch, and I have to yank at it several times to force it open. Walking inside, I can feel an icy breeze gnawing at my cheekbones. Someone had messed with the building's ventilation system.
Pulling out my standard police issue torch, I have to hit it a few times to get it to work. Its pale blue light was next to useless and was only adding to the eerie atmosphere of the place.
'Daisy?' I ask, seeing my breath fog as I opened my mouth.
She didn't reply. It was too damn quiet, and cold, with my only company being the thickening layer of frost beneath my feet.
'DAISY?' I repeat. There was no answer.
'Clunk!'
The strange sound stopped me in my tracks, forcing me to crouch and take cover behind a grand oak wood desk. I wasn't about to ask who it was, because the second that I did, they'd no doubt appear right behind me. Shining the torch out in front, I can't see any movement, but I know someone is there.
'Ethan, this is all your fault. Look at what you made me do. LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!'
'Who is that?' I ask.
'You can't love her anymore, she looks hideous.' the voice barked, laughing uncontrollably.
The voice sounded so familiar, and yet, I couldn't figure out why. There was only one way to find out who it was as well; with my pistol drawn, I began sprinting across the shop lobby floor, floundering like a fish out of the water as I skidded on sheet ice. I end up bumping into stacked tables and chairs on the way, knocking vases and decorative mirrors onto the floor. I had to keep going, though; I had to get upstairs.
Darting up the spiral staircase, I see the shadowy figure again, and I chase after them. There was a dead-end up ahead as well, and the only way out was straight through me.
I couldn't see the person's face, and every time I shone the torch, they turned away shyly. About all that I could notice was the person's size - quite tall, slim built, with long hair. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a woman.
They charge straight at me, screaming, before bolting through an open doorway on the right-hand side. I hear a window smash, and an almighty thud soon after. I peer into the room, my heart hammering and my eyes wide open. I'd done this many times, but I could never get used to feeling the overwhelming surge of adrenaline coursing through my body.
Staring out the window, I see the glass fragments scattered all over Eden Street, but not a single person in sight. Jumping would have been suicidal as well.
'Shit, they're still in here.' I whisper out loud.
I was starting to panic; I'd let my guard down, and I'd probably come to regret it. Turning around sharply, I feel an intense shooting pain in my neck. Staring at the ground; I see a trail of blood running across the wall, and as I look closer, I see my name written in blood, with the red letters dripping and quickly becoming nonsensical. The bastard had been in here minutes ago.
Following the gory trail, I see it leading across the landing and onto the metal door handle of the wood carving workshop. I felt sick to the stomach; there was a lot of heavy machinery in there, and I was dreading what I might find.
The door creaks as I open it, and I hear a strange slushing sound on the floor. It was a heart, and I'd just rolled it out of the way. 
I nearly throw up as I stare at the industrial-sized band saw in the centre of the room; at either side of the toothed metal blade, I see a human arm that has almost been sawn in half, with tiny threads of skin somehow managing to hold the mutilated limb together.
The room was rife with the stinking entrails of this poor victim. Bundled up into the corner was the body of a woman, sure enough, missing an arm and bearing a large hole in her chest where her heart had once been. I could see a chunk of spinal bone sticking out of her neck as well; she was missing her head.
In the far corner of the killing room, I see her face, crushed in between the jaws of a vice, with pieces of her fractured skull poking out through torn white skin. It was Daisy.
'Shit, shit, shit.'
I was supposed to keep my people safe, and in that regard, I had failed miserably. There was no sign of her killer either, no doubt having snuck out already. I think I hear the crazed lady again when someone calls out to me; it takes a moment to realise that it was Jennings and my backup. They were late.
'Up here.' I call, leaning out the door to draw their attention.
Jennings was sick; luckily, it was outside the room. 'Is that?' he gasped.
'Daisy. It is, the poor lady's been torn to pieces.'
'By who?' Jennings asked.
'I don't know, a woman, I think.'
Jennings looked frustrated. 'Are you sure it was a woman, Sir? It's just after we booked Soren into holding; he wouldn't shut up about someone in their crew, a man by the name of Chris Kane. Rumour has it; he escaped from prison back on Earth before changing his identity and hitching a ride up here. I'm also told he hates the government and has a rap sheet that is a mile long, covering charges of assault and battery, to murder and even smuggling.'
'Oh, is that all?' I ask.
'Not quite, Sir. You were his arresting officer.'
