Doomed to Die

— Killing the Bear

After having faced life and death many times, Diana often had a vague premonition of danger.

The moment she saw the two Demonesses, Qingyao and Hong Li, that sense of danger rose up on its own. The one with a face so bewitchingly beautiful it could charm all living things especially made her feel as though she were facing an ancient ferocious beast.

If Li Bai hadn't seemed so familiar with them, the Russian girl might have drawn her gun on the spot and pulled her boyfriend behind her.

In response to the Russian girl's question, Li Bai said with absolute certainty, "A perfectly legitimate Thai, and also a Greek citizen."

"Thai? Why do they seem a little sinister?"

Diana still looked puzzled.

She felt there was something off about the two Demonesses, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Li Bai said matter-of-factly, "Thailand has plenty of monsters!"

"Plenty of monsters? You're talking nonsense again!"

Diana didn't believe him at all.

"It's a disaster zone, so they need all those Buddhist Bodhisattvas to keep things under control. Otherwise, it'd be total chaos. Look, even people turn into monsters there. How could it not be sinister?"

Li Bai spoke with such conviction that, as a professional master of persuasive nonsense, he easily led the Russian girl right down the garden path.

Thailand! Apart from gods and Buddhas everywhere, its best-known specialty was ladyboys. They were practically world-famous.

"Okay, I guess that makes sense!"

Diana couldn't find her way out of the trap, and seemed to accept his explanation.

Thailand had more than just ladyboys. There were also spirit-raising and black magic. It'd be stranger if it weren't sinister.

If the Russian girl kept pressing him, Li Bai still had Greek Mythology waiting in the wings.
