World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

"Is there another one?"

"Who is it?"

"Step forward if you know what's good for you. If Brother Hu finds you, you won't have a good ending."

...

Yao Tong demonstrated the extraordinary abilities of the Heavenly Demon to everyone, and they no longer doubted his words.

The underlings, such as Gou Kun, immediately became excited.

Yao Tong was easily suppressed by Brother Hu, causing them to completely lose their awe of the Heavenly Demon.

The people in the garage were already attracted by the commotion here. They looked around cautiously, afraid that the other person might be the Heavenly Demon who had possessed someone's body.

"Brother Hu, the Heavenly Demon has distinct characteristics. Normal people have strong mental power and are not easily possessed. Therefore, they usually target the weak and vulnerable, like the elderly, the sick, and the disabled. We should pay attention to this group of people first. For example, whether they suddenly become healthy or, like me, their injuries or illnesses suddenly heal, or their behavior becomes abnormal, like me..." Seeing the excited crowd, Yao Tong felt secretly delighted and provided additional explanations to identify the Heavenly Demon.

As soon as he said this, all the normal people breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who were injured, as well as the elderly and children, all defended themselves, "Brother Hu, my injuries haven't healed at all. I haven't been possessed by the Heavenly Demon!"

"I'm still not well, I haven't been possessed by the Heavenly Demon."

"Little treasure, don't be afraid. Mom will make a small cut on your hand..."

...

Everyone defended themselves, afraid that Brother Hu would directly attack them in order to find the Heavenly Demon. After all, Du Ge had just stabbed the Heavenly Demon twice without any consequences. If he stabbed them, who could bear it?

Du Ge looked at Yao Tong with a strange expression. Did this guy betray his comrades without any hesitation?

If there really were hidden Heavenly Demons, wouldn't it be better for them to reveal themselves voluntarily?

Even if they couldn't hold back, they could find me privately. Wouldn't that be much more effective than making a public uproar?

What kind of intelligence is this?

Tsk tsk!

He's a good partner!

Du Ge frowned, "Yao Tong, I'll just call you Yao Tong for now. Is it possible for the Heavenly Demon to possess normal people?"

"Brother Hu, it is indeed possible for the higher-level Heavenly Demons to do so, but the cracks that they enter this world through are narrow, so only relatively weak Heavenly Demons come in. The possibility of them possessing normal people is low." Yao Tong smiled and said, "Someone like Brother Hu, who has strong energy, will definitely not be possessed."

Congratulations, you have eliminated one possible answer.

Du Ge asked, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely." Yao Tong said.

Du Ge asked again, "Not even in the future?"

"Brother Hu is joking. After the Heavenly Demon possesses someone, they only have one life. Once they die, they can't possess another body again." Yao Tong felt that he had gained Du Ge's trust and smiled, "Moreover, the cracks in the world have already closed. If one Heavenly Demon dies, there won't be any new ones coming."

"Well, that puts my mind at ease." Du Ge nodded, "Yao Tong, Gou Kun, and that other person, come with me. The two of you, gather everyone together and search for the hidden Heavenly Demons. I'm telling you now, if there really are Heavenly Demons who have possessed someone, if they come out voluntarily, we can cooperate. But if I find them, I'll shoot them dead."

"Yes, Brother Hu, that's the way to do it. We also need to secure the exits to prevent them from escaping like rats." Yao Tong agreed.

He looked around at the people in the underground garage, sneering in his heart. Who do you think you are? Either you jump out voluntarily and let Brother Hu kill you, or you keep quiet and don't use the keywords. I want to see who can outsmart whom.

Indeed, what the teacher said was just nonsense. After overcoming the initial difficulties, it would be smooth sailing!

Find an opportunity to get rid of this damn Brother Hu. The underground garage is under my control. This thug really thinks that by knowing my keywords, he can control me? What a joke!

...

"Yao Tong, you said there are a total of three thousand Heavenly Demons in the world?" Du Ge asked some naive questions while walking, pretending that he needed to pay attention. When he was at the Feng Family, he was also asked these questions and could be considered an expert.

"Brother Hu, there are three thousand Heavenly Demons that have come through the cracks in the world. The risk of possessing someone is extremely high, and it's easy to die if you're not careful. There probably aren't three thousand who have survived." Yao Tong honestly replied.

"As Heavenly Demons, do you have any other special abilities besides fast recovery?" Du Ge asked.

"It depends on the circumstances. Some Heavenly Demons have..." Yao Tong said, "Brother Hu, don't look at me like that. I was just possessed, and you discovered me so easily. I don't have any supernatural powers! Brother Hu, you don't need to be so guarded against me. You already know all my weaknesses. How could I betray you?"

"You said earlier that you can help me become the king of Taifen City. Is that true?" Du Ge pondered for a moment and asked.

"As long as Brother Hu believes in me, lets me grow, I am somewhat confident." Yao Tong said.

"..." Du Ge glanced at him and avoided this topic, "Tell me more about the Heavenly Demons.""Brother Hu, you really don't need to be so cautious. My actions have already made me a traitor to the Heavenly Demons. If I don't find a power to align myself with, once word gets out, I'll definitely be killed by other Heavenly Demons." Yao Tong gave a bitter smile, saying, "Brother Hu, I'm sincere. If you're still not at ease, you can have someone watch me, mimic me, which would limit my recovery ability. You also have a gun, one shot can kill me."

Du Ge glanced at him, saying, "I'm still not at ease. No one does something for nothing. I just stabbed you twice, and you're still so eager, it makes me suspicious."

"Brother Hu, I have no other choice." Yao Tong said, "You don't know how fast other Heavenly Demons grow. They will do anything for their own benefit. When they come to kill, the first one they'll get rid of is me. Once I'm dead, they definitely won't let you go either. We're actually in the same boat, neither of us can escape. Besides, with over four hundred people to feed, we can't just sit in the garage and wait for the food to run out, we have to go out and find food!"

Speaking of food, Du Ge sighed and frowned, "You're right. Actually, these past few days, I've been thinking about this problem. I just talked to Dog Kun about it. The world is in chaos now, no one cares about what's happening outside, should I seize the opportunity to rise, to make a big move. What you said about the King of Taiyuan, it really resonated with me. It's just that you're not trustworthy, which makes me hesitant to use you."

"Brother Hu, I swear by the heart of the Heavenly Demon, you can use me as you wish. If I ever betray you in any way, you can kill me at any time, I won't have any complaints." Yao Tong stopped walking, looking serious, "You just saved my life by telling those people not to mimic me, I don't know about other things, but I must repay this life-saving grace."

"That's because I'm kind-hearted, I can't stand to see people die in front of me." Du Ge glanced at him, then turned to ask Dog Kun, "Dog Kun, do you think I'm a great philanthropist?"

"Brother Hu, when others are in need, you generously lend a hand, saving countless lives and helping many families through tough times; when it comes to debt collection, you're always lenient, even accepting interest payments, never excessively pressuring them; you've personally intervened to help many who were addicted to gambling and prostitution, helping them change their bad habits and get back on the right path; which of these deeds isn't a good deed?"

Dog Kun glanced at the underling next to him, saying, "If anyone dares to say Brother Hu isn't a good person, I'll be the first to slap him. Right, Huang Mao?"

Huang Mao chuckled, "Right, Brother Hu is the top philanthropist in Taiyuan, who on the streets doesn't speak highly of Brother Hu?"

Damn, you two have redefined kindness!

What talents!

Du Ge turned to look at them, affectionately putting his arm around Yao Tong's shoulder, saying, "Did you hear that? I, Brother Hu, am a true philanthropist. Yao Tong, I don't care if you're a Heavenly Demon or not, but if you sincerely want to join me and help me do good deeds, I won't let you down. Right now, what I lack by my side is a general like you! I have ambition, you have ability, we're a perfect match..."

Scum!

Yao Tong cursed inwardly, expressing his loyalty with fear and trepidation, "Thank you for your trust, Brother Hu. From now on, Yao Tong is your man. If Brother Hu asks me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken. Whether it's climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of fire, if I even frown, Brother Hu can take my life at any time."

"No need for that, no need for that, we're all brothers here, why would I want your life?" Du Ge laughed heartily, patting his shoulder, "Come on, let's go inside. Let's discuss how to expand and strengthen our business, no, our charity, to save more people in this chaotic world..."
