Chapter 2375: Authentic Letter from Senior Hunter Leng Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth Was someone fooling with them? Senior Hunter Leng’s death had remained a mystery to outsiders. Only the Clearsky Hunter Agency knew the truth of his death. “Do you think someone is mimicking your father’s way of writing?” Mo Fan asked her. “The content of the letter is exactly the same as what he wrote in his notebook,” Lingling replied. “Lingling, I think you should calm down first. If someone is bringing this up, we have to look into it, whether it was a prank or someone does understand what happened to your father,” Mo Fan said. Lingling had always been searching for clues about her father’s death, but every time she found something, Old Bao tried to stop her from investigating further. Old Bao did not want Lingling and Mo Fan to get involved, because the thing that had killed Senior Hunter Leng was extremely dangerous. They would only get themselves killed if they tried to look for it if they were not strong enough! The creature was very perceptive, too. If they tried to track it down, it would also be watching them! Lingling took a deep breath. She was still the same intelligent girl. She quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation. “I didn’t finish the letter. What does it want us to do?” “I’ll read it for you,” Mo Fan said. There was a second half to the letter. It described how Senior Hunter Leng had been searching for the red demon across the world in detail. One of the key points it mentioned was the red demon’s ability to grow stronger over time. Its influence was growing at a terrifying rate, too! “I’m going to put an end to it tonight. I can’t let it grow any further. It’s like Pandora’s box. I’m not the one who opened it, but I’ve allowed it to grow stronger because of my mistake. I’m responsible for ending it. “Before I leave, I’ve written down this report and left a finished Universe Vein as a reward. I’ve written this quest letter and handed it to the Hunter Union for them to publish at a later time. “My friend, I don’t know who you are. But if you are reading this letter, it means I didn’t make it back to cancel the job. It also means I have failed to exterminate the demon. “Please finish the job for me. I know the job is far too dangerous compared to the reward. “But, please help me finish it!” The atmosphere froze as Mo Fan finished reading the second half of the letter. Lingling had a diary that belonged to her father. She always kept it beside her pillow. She was reluctant to read it, but she always kept it close. The diary contained the first half of the letter, almost the exact words. However, Lingling never knew it had a second part. Her eyes were brimming with tears after she heard the second half. She always thought it was just a diary entry, but it turned out to be a job request left behind by Senior Hunter Leng before he fought the red demon! Senior Hunter Leng seemed to know things might end terribly for him, so he wrote the job request in advance and asked the Hunter Union to publish it at a later time. He had planned everything. If he managed to kill the red demon, he would return to the Hunter Union and cancel the job request. If he died, the letter would tell the others the cause of his death and also serve as a job request for stronger Hunters to hunt down the demon! — The letter had now ended up in Mo Fan’s hands. The outcome of the battle was obvious, but it was hard to swallow the truth. “So, this letter is real?” Mo Fan asked after a long moment of silence. The first half of the letter might be fake, but as for the second half… No one in this world could possibly describe everything so accurately, except for Senior Hunter Leng himself. The red demon. The terrifying red demon! Lingling did not answer Mo Fan’s question. She dove into his arms and cried like a scared kitten. So many years had passed. Lingling thought she had grown stronger. Even if she revisited the contents of the diary, she would not cry for the whole night in her blankets like she used to. However, she was not as strong as she thought when heard the complete letter, especially how hard Senior Hunter Leng had tried to track down the red demon, and had even paid his life for nothing. Senior Hunter Leng would never expect the job request with his last words would end up in his daughter’s hands, but it served as a huge blow to Lingling’s heart once again! “Stop crying, Lingling, stop crying...” Mo Fan had no idea how he should comfort her. Mo Fan was a little regretful after he saw Lingling in tears. If he had known this was their job, he would never have come here, even if he would be despised by the whole world for tricking an underage girl to satisfy his own desires! It was clear that no one was fooling with them. The letter was real. It was an authentic job request from Senior Hunter Leng! “Lingling, if you are really that sad… what if we don’t tell your grandfather about the job,” Mo Fan proposed. Lingling looked up. Her forehead was red, and so was her face, but her eyes were even redder. “Your grandfather was worried we might get ourselves killed if we looked into the red demon, but I’m not weak anymore. The red demon is indeed a terrifying creature. I still remember the incident in Croatia’s prison like it was yesterday,” Mo Fan went on. Lingling was still in tears. She looked at Mo Fan seriously without saying a word. “I say we should put an end to it,” Mo Fan said. Mo Fan knew it would remain a scar deep in Lingling’s heart if they did not settle it once and for all. It would continue to influence Lingling, no matter how much time had passed. It was not normal for a young girl to spend all her time learning about demon creatures at her age. Mo Fan wanted her to walk out from her shadows. She should be living a joyful and optimistic life, even if she became a Hunter. Mo Fan wanted to settle this once and for all. Besides, Senior Hunter Leng’s job request had ended up in his hands! “Mm.” “Stop crying, it’s going to affect your intelligence. Without your analysis, I will never find the red demon,” Mo Fan said with a smile. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 Lingling nodded and wiped away her tears with the back of her hands. — Mo Fan took a deep breath. He did not expect to be assigned such a special job. The problem was, Senior Hunter Leng was supposed to be extremely strong, but he had still been killed by the red demon. After all these years, the red demon must have grown a lot stronger! Mo Fan subconsciously touched the Essence Orb he always carried with him. The orb was actually the red demon’s flesh, nurtured inside the tower in Japan, forming a demon capable of controlling a person’s mind. Mo Fan suddenly thought of something. “That’s right! Mochizuki Chihaya and Mochizuki Ken are here, too!” They were tied to the first red demon! They were also invited here for this huge operation. What was their job, then? Were they going after the red demon, too? The job would not be so dangerous with a powerful Mage like Mochizuki Ken on their side....
