He sensed the aura of the Red Moon from this monster's corpse.
Violence, mania, diminished intelligence... King Mask could not possibly mistake it. He had just risked everything to escape that Fishing Village, and the Red Moon had left far too deep an impression on him. Besides, the Red Moon's aura on this monster was far stronger than the one in the Fishing Village!
King Mask had thought that once he left that Fishing Village, everything would be over. Yet he never imagined that after being swept by the currents all the way to Japan's Human Circle, thousands of miles away, he would discover the aura of the Red Moon again!
Was it a coincidence?
Or...
King Mask stared at the monster's corpse, his expression incomparably grim.
"Who are you?" Yurina Takishiro looked toward the void above King Mask's head and spoke coldly.
Yurina looked at King Mask in surprise. She tugged at Yurina Takishiro's sleeve and explained, "I picked him up from the cliff today. He's from Great Xia too, and he knows Brother Qi Ye!"
Hearing this, Yurina Takishiro's expression softened slightly, though wariness still lingered deep in her eyes.
"Where did this monster come from?" King Mask lowered his head to look at the monster's corpse and asked in clumsy Japanese, his expression deadly serious.
"Corpse Beasts?" Yurina glanced at the monster and shook her head. "We don't know where they came from either... Anyway, things like this have been appearing often lately, scattered all over Japan. They're showing up more and more frequently, and their numbers are increasing too."
There was more than one?
King Mask's brow furrowed even tighter.
"When did this start?"
"Not long ago, I think... The first one appeared just a few days after Brother Qi Ye and the others returned home,"
