Age of Terror: I Have a Demon Editor Chapter 1231
The night became darker.
In a remote base city in Longguo, next to Quanshu City, there is an extremely weird forest.
This forest is very close to Quanshu City.
According to the regulations on the maintenance of the base city issued by the Dragon Kingdom, the forest within a radius of ten miles of the base city must be felled regularly and the demons and ghosts inside must be cleared.
The first reason for this regulation is that after regularly cleaning up the demons and ghosts around the base city, it can enhance the security of the base city and reduce the pressure on the high-walled city defenses at various times!
The second reason is to prevent the monster sea ghost tide from killing under the high wall silently under the cover of the forest.
Matters involving life and death are basically implemented in every base city in the country very thoroughly.
But now it seems that Quanshu City, which is quite remote in location, is undoubtedly an exception.
This rather vast forest is only about 300 meters away from the high wall of Quanshu City.
The entire forest was filled with a dark yellow thick fog.
Even with the night wind blowing, there was a pungent and rotten smell that wafted far from the forest to the high wall.
The imperial spirit masters stationed on the high wall of Quanshu City couldn't help frowning.
This smell is... the smell of corpses! !
On duty on the city wall tonight are the first team and the second team of the Quanshu City Demon Elimination Bureau.
The 20-odd people in the two teams smelled this smell, and some of the newly joined reserve spirit masters shuddered.
They all thought of the customs and habits that Quanshu City has always had.
These newcomers couldn't help but look at the Master Yu Lingshi who was teaching beside them, and found that their respective masters and captains were quite calm, and then they felt relieved.
The captain of the first team is a bald middle-aged man in his forties, named He Zhenping, with a fifth-order nightmare-level strength.
The figure is fairly strong, and he is smoking a Yun cigarette.
He stopped by the pile of the high wall and waved to the team members behind him: "You follow the original route and continue patrolling!"
"I smoke a cigarette here and stare at the forest!"
"Yes, captain!" The team members behind him all responded and left.
The captain of the second team is called Shao Ding.
He was a thin, rather taciturn man in his twenties.
The fluctuation of a demon spirit has also reached the fifth sequence nightmare level.
Shao Ding waved forward to the players behind him.
The subordinates immediately understood the meaning, and, like the members of the first team, they carried out the night patrol mission by themselves.
Shao Ding came to stand beside He Zhenping, with his silent face and stern eyes staring at the forest three hundred meters away.
He Zhenping turned his head to look at him, took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket, and handed them to Shao Ding.
Shao Ding hesitated for a while, and after taking it, he took out one, lit it and put it in his mouth.
He Zhenping took the returned cigarette case and lighter.
He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him who had just been transferred from another base city, who had been cold-faced for a month, and who was not very popular in the bureau, did not seem to be so unkind.
Smoking together, the relationship between the two captains immediately became more harmonious.
He Zhenping was the first to open the conversation: "Xiao Shao, have you seen that forest?"
Shao Ding nodded, and replied in a deep voice: "This is our Quanshu City..."
He Zhenping quickly stopped and said, "Don't say that name!"
"Although this forest has helped our Quanshu City keep away many demons and ghosts, the name of this forest has always been one of the taboos of our locals!"
"You have not been here for long, no matter what you see in the archives in the bureau, you must remember that you must not mention the name of this forest in front of anyone!"
"Especially some families that have...relatives, lying in front of the family members and common people!"
"If you accidentally mention it, whatever happens will not end well in the bureau!"
Shao Ding nodded.
He knew that He Zhenping had good intentions, and he was telling him some taboos that he needed to know about working in this base city.
Shao Ding kept a cold face, but said seriously: "Thank you!"
He Zhenping was quite surprised.
He didn't expect that this cold-faced young man, although not tactful, still knows etiquette.
After the impression in his heart got better, He Zhenping talked more.
"Do you know why the locals are so taboo about this forest?"
He took a drag on the cigarette and exhaled the smoke ring.
In the line of sight of the two of them, this cloud of smoke circles happened to drift towards the direction of the dark yellow dense fog forest in the distance.
It seems that the gray-white smoke ring is about to cover up the forest.
Cover up this forest that brings deep fear to all the people in Quanshu City and the locals, and even refuses to mention it by name.
Come out of sight!
Shao Ding also took a puff of cigarette, shook his head, and listened silently.
He Zhenping is in his forties, and there are many wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes.
The baldness also made his face more and more vicissitudes.
He sighed, and said, "Oh, because that forest swallowed up too many local corpses and lives!"
hear here,
Shao Ding's gaze suddenly magnified.
The hand holding the cigarette trembled involuntarily, and the ash fell.
Shao Ding frowned slightly, and asked, "Didn't that forest block many demons and ghosts for us in Quanshu City?"
