Mistaken Identity
The man reached out and touched the bird's nest, then the branch beneath it.
Only after a long while did the man finally pull his gaze away, marveling.
I'll head home first and figure things out later.
The man grabbed the nest and turned to leave.
The long branch swayed gently behind him.
Xu Hao started running.
It ran very fast.
The wind howled in its ears.
Rain slapped against its face.
Is that him?
Xu Hao spotted a figure.
He looked a lot like the human with the demon on him.
His height was about the same.

All kinds of lights came on along
