Chapter 2092 The Secrets of Night Ghos
Sponsored Content
In the base, Han Sen was led to two puddles of black water . It was the same manner of death that the others had died . When Han Sen scanned the area, he could only detect traces of the Taurus and Kahn . There were also some Night Ghost substances, but there was nothing beyond that .
After checking all the cameras, they could not locate the murderer . Those two Taurus officers had died in their rooms .
From the security feeds, no one else had been seen entering the rooms . And the locked doors showed no signs of forced entry, until they were broken down when rescuers had entered to search for the missing Taurus . There were no other creatures around . Nothing else had shown up .
Just as with the other victims, there were no clues to be found .
Han Sen was not a detective, and he planned on letting Lone Bamboo be the one to handle this matter . Before Han Sen took his leave, he turned back to Kahn .
“Marquise Kahn, may I ask why you are here?”
Kahn’s expression did not change, and he calmly said, “Because the Night Ghosts ordered something quite expensive . Because of that, I delivered the goods myself . I didn’t expect things like this would transpire after my arrival . ”
“May I know what these expensive goods are?” Han Sen asked .
“I am sorry, but we are committed to the privacy of our customers . If you would like to know what the items are, you will have to speak with Sleepless Duke,” Kahn said .

Han Sen nodded, and he readied himself to leave . After walking two steps, he stepped back . “Have those products been delivered?”
“Yes,” Kahn affirmed .
“Thanks . ” Han Sen then left the Taurus base .
“Are you famous?” Li Duo asked Han Sen as they walked back .
Kahn knew who Han Sen was, and he had been quite polite to him . It surprised her . The only other person who received such deference from Kahn was Sleepless Duke herself, from what Li Duo could recall .
But when Li Duo thought about the way Kahn had treated Han Sen, it was more like Kahn was simply wary of him .
“Not really . It’s just because I killed a Demon that they focus on me . They kind of hate me . ” Han Sen laughed .
“I see . ” Li Duo was surprised .
Han Sen looked at Li Duo and randomly said, “It looks like you’re close with Kahn . ”

Li Duo blushed . “Not very close . He and my mother conduct trade negotiations in Night Ring 12th Street, and he has beaten a few of our strongest warriors in an event . It’s how I recognize him . ”
“What did your mother buy that required a Marquise Demon to deliver it?” Han Sen asked .
“I don’t know . ” Li Duo shook her head .
Han Sen asked a few other questions, then returned to the Duke manor with Bao’er to look for Lone Bamboo . When Han Sen tracked down Lone Bamboo’s room, he found the man taking a nap .
“What did you find?” Han Sen asked .
“There is a problem with Sleepless Duke,” Lone Bamboo said with certainty, opening his eyes .
“What problem?” Han Sen quickly asked .
“I do not know, but I can tell she is hiding something . With my power, I can’t uncover whatever she is refusing to reveal,” Lone Bamboo said coldly .
Han Sen told Lone Bamboo what he had found, and Lone Bamboo sighed . “As far as I can tell, Night Ghosts need sustenance to survive . But they only eat fresh food . They don’t eat anything that has been dead for more than a day . The Taurus bring them living stock . Because of the Sky Palace ruling, the living creatures need to be killed before reaching Night Ring 12th Street . Nothing alive can go there . ”

“Why does that matter?” Han Sen said .
“Night Ghost is a disturbing race that dines on flesh, but as for why they must eat goods that are alive… It’s not as simple as filling their stomachs . They don’t just eat meat . They consume something we don’t quite understand . The best comparison we can make is that they eat the souls of their prey . ”
“Souls?” Han Sen was surprised . So far, no one had proved souls actually existed .
“It’s just a description . When Night Ghosts eat, they can absorb a mysterious substance . It boosts their levels, and especially the strength of their wills . There was a Night Ghost Duke that had a will that was stronger than a King class,” Lone Bamboo sad .
Han Sen was surprised, and he said, “Even better than a King class? Was it deified or half-deified?”
“It should have been a half-deified . ” Lone Bamboo continued to say, “But evolving that way is like cheating . Their minds grow confused, and their own souls might merge with the consumed creature’s . They go crazy and become filled with bloodlust . They can even kill their own families . So, Sky Palace forbids them from eating creatures that are alive . ”
You think Kahn gave something alive to Sleepless Duke?” Han Sen now understood his line of thinking .
Lone Bamboo nodded and said, “It’s just a guess . Sky Palace keeps a keen eye on things here, though . They check all creatures that are ferried to Night Ring 12th Street . Things have run smoothly for years, but maybe the guard slipped up, and now someone is taking advantage of things . Like you said, Kahn’s presence seems suspicious . What item delivery might require the supervision of a Demon?”
“This is all possible, but why would the Demon agree to this? Do you think this is all connected to the murders on Planet Night Ghost?” Han Sen asked quietly .
“I’m not sure, but we will have to ask her,” Lone Bamboo said coldly .
“Will she admit to this?” Even if she was involved, Han Sen didn’t think it was likely that she’d just volunteer that information .
“She has no choice,” Lone Bamboo replied calmly .
Han Sen slumped his shoulders . He wasn’t good at this sort of thing, so he was just going to follow Lone Bamboo’s lead .
Lone Bamboo wanted to find her right away, but the people of Duke manor told him she was out . It took another two hours before they had the chance to see her again .
