Chapter 1168 To Be Honest, It Is More Troublesome to Think of a Title than to Write an Update.

"I thought you were calling me for something so late at night."

After walking out of the elevator, Duanmu Huai yawned, looking bored.

"It's just for such a small matter?"

"How can this be considered a small matter?"

Yutong Lingnai followed Duanmu Huai, speechless. In fact, it's no wonder that she was so nervous. AAA did not think about researching this gun. After all, the technology of miniaturization of reactors makes everyone drool. If possible, AAA wants this technology in their dreams!

But... No!

AAA's research director has explained to Yutong Lingnai and her mother that they do have the means to dismantle this plasma gun. However, there is a big problem in this - that is, this is a weapon!

Weapons!

As we all know, many times those high-tech new weapons will set up self-destruct devices to prevent them from being dismantled for research. Not to mention that the principle of this gun is still based on the reactor, and there is no need to do anything too complicated. As long as the reactor goes out of control, this pistol will instantly become a nuclear bomb, destroying everything within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Then the question is, should we take this risk?

After discussing with her mother, Yutong Lingno finally decided not to take this risk.

The reason is very simple. If this gun is a rare thing like an unearthed relic, then AAA will risk his life to take a chance. But as of now, this gun is completely a creation of the Tribunal. Duanmu Huai threw it to Yutong Lingno casually, and he didn't even plan to go back to see it. It is very likely that the Tribunal has mastered this manufacturing technology, and it may be sold by pound.

This means that the Tribunal is likely to have many similar weapons. In this case, it is not worth taking this risk. Instead of doing this kind of plane behind the scenes, it is better to have a good relationship with the Tribunal directly. The latter is obviously safer and has more ways to control.

As for why they asked Duanmu Huai to come to the door instead of delivering the gun themselves, it was because everyone was too nervous, especially after knowing that this was basically a nuclear bomb, no matter how brave a person was, he would not dare to run around with it, so it was better to ask him to come in person and take away this magical power.

Therefore, when Xitong Lingnai accompanied Duanmu Huai to the underground secret warehouse of AAA, she was relieved when she saw him pick up the gun and stuff it into his clothes.

In any case, at least the responsibility is not on AAA's side now.

"How is the work I asked you to do?"

"It's done."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Xitong Lingnai immediately took out a tablet and handed it over. Duanmu Huai took the tablet and swiped it, and then saw a photo and detailed records appear on it.

"Honda Miyo, 11 years old, cause of death unknown. She attended Yagi Elementary School, was introverted and rarely interacted with others. Her father, Honda Tetsuto, was a famous painter. Honda Miyo was influenced by her father to learn painting since she was a child. She once wrote in her composition that she wanted to be a picture book painter in the future. Later, she was injured in a traffic accident and her right hand was injured. After treatment in the hospital, she recovered, and she..."

"She also likes to draw with crayons, right."

Before Yutong Lingno finished speaking, Duanmu Huai interrupted, and Yutong Lingno paused and nodded.

"That's right, so... Could it be that the witch we eliminated yesterday was..."

"It is likely that this little girl is not running away."

Duanmu Huai casually returned the tablet to Yutong Lingno and snorted coldly. Qianzhu, who came with him, looked at this and that curiously, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's going on? What are you talking about?"

"As of now, we suspect that the dead girls were not killed by witches."

"Huh?"

It must be said that Qianzhu was a little surprised to hear this.

"Isn't it?"

"Yes, in fact, if we are not wrong, then these witches are transformed from these girls."

"Wait, wait! Is that so?"

Hearing this, Qian Shu almost jumped up.

"That is to say, the witch we killed in the factory that day..."

"It is also very likely that it was the daughter of the factory owner who died at that time."

The reason why Duanmu Huai had this guess was that after meeting Editor Tengchuan, he had also asked Editor Tengchuan about the situation of the girl. As a result, Duanmu Huai learned from Editor Tengchuan that the factory owner's daughter was very clever and liked knitting. She once gave her hand-knitted sweater and gloves to Editor Tengchuan's niece as a birthday gift.

Of course, for Editor Tengchuan, it was just a casual mention, but for Duanmu Huai, who had fought in the witch barrier, he naturally became concerned about it immediately.

However, Duanmu Huai did not make a judgment immediately at that time. After all, there was only one example, which was not enough to support the judgment.

But now there is a second case... Well, it is still 100% at present.

The girl who loved knitting died, and then everything in the witch's enchantment looked like it was made by cutting and knitting fabric. The girl who loved drawing with crayons died, and then the witch's enchantment that followed had a crayon monster in it - it can't be a coincidence once or twice.

"Wait, that is to say, those children were not killed by witches, but became witches after death... Ugh... Although I can understand it, but in this case, why did those children die? It was suicide ?"

At this time Qian Shu also reacted, but soon, she raised another question.

Yes, this is also the biggest problem now.

Judging from the collected intelligence data, the girl turned into a witch after death, and then created a barrier to use the witch's kiss to manipulate others to commit suicide. This can be confirmed by data analysis.

However, a new problem arises.

So how did these girls die?

Whether it was the factory owner's daughter, editor Tengchuan's niece, or the girl Duanmu Huai and Yugiri Ayano were investigating this time, the cause of death was unknown.

At this time, it’s time to ask professionals for answers.

"Kizara, what do you think... Wow?!"

Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Mu Geng who was following him like a ghost, but he was almost startled - the pink-haired girl who was following him now had dead eyes. Staring at him silently like this without saying a word, he was like a persistent spirit behind him.

"What are you doing? Are you sleepwalking?"

"I thought Miss Duanmu had forgotten me."

He stared at Duanmu Huai without blinking, the expression of Mu Geng in front of him still looked gloomy and terrifying.

"Trick me into taking the bait with sweet words, and then throw me aside, forget it... Anyway, I am such an easy woman to deal with. I know that Miss Duanmu will not take me to heart. At most, it will only be like this, in They will come to me only when they are useful, and they will throw me aside when they are finished. Yes, that’s it..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hearing Mu Geng's thoughts, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes speechlessly. Why is this woman so troublesome? I asked you to sign a contract, isn't it just to use you? Do you think I am just picking up kittens and puppies from the street when I have nothing to do?

"Nothing... Ahem, um, do you become a witch after death? Although I haven't seen what a witch looks like, this situation is very rare."

"Is that so? In the work I'm responsible for, it's not uncommon for people possessed by demons to turn into monsters."

Hearing Kisara's answer, Yugiri Ayano next to her stared at her warily - this was normal, after all, what appeared in front of her was a demon, and a very powerful demon at that.

"That's because the human body cannot withstand the power of demons, so it actively mutates to be able to withstand the power of demons. But according to you, there is no mutation in the bodies of those girls."

"This... seems to be true."

If there was a mutation, it wouldn't be written "unknown cause of death".

"Strictly speaking, mutations in the soul are actually very rare. After all, the fragility of the body is understandable, but the soul... Wanting to distort the soul requires quite a strong emotion."

"Strong feelings?"

"Hatred, despair, anger...and it must be to a degree that is enough to completely destroy the personality and soul. Otherwise, no matter how the soul of an average person mutates, it is impossible to turn into a monster."

"Isn't this your devil's specialty?"

Hearing this, Yugiri Ayano couldn't help but mocked.

"Luring humans into depravity, driving them into despair, and then eating them up."

"Make no mistake."

Faced with Yugiri Ayano's ridicule, Kisara obviously would not just surrender.

"In fact, most of the time, demons don't need to do anything at all. They just need to watch from the sidelines. After all, you humans have enough malice towards yourself. All we have to do is push them when they are hesitant. It’s just a handful, it’s you humans who are driving them to the road... Pain, pain, pain!"

However, before Mu Geng finished speaking, he saw Duanmu Huai stretch out his small hand and hold Mu Geng's Tianling Gai.

"Shut up, Ki Geng. Maybe you are right, but being destroyed by humans and being destroyed by demons are two different things. Even if humans are despicable and cunning, it is not the demons' turn to cause trouble. Humans' own affairs , mankind will solve it on its own. Anyone who tries to interfere in human affairs on this basis, whether it is a demon or a god, will not be allowed by the Tribunal. Please don't let me hear such heretical words again, understand?"

"Ming, Ming, I understand..."

Seeing Mu Geng nodding vigorously with tears in his eyes, Duanmu Huai let go of his hand.

Seeing this scene, Qian Shu and Yugiri Ayano beside them couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"What Xiao Ai said is really domineering."

"I heard her say that the Tribunal is human supremacist before, but I still didn't understand what it meant. But now I understand..."

It's no wonder that the two of them were so emotional. Although Duanmu Huai told them before that the Tribunal was based on human supremacy, they thought it meant the legitimacy and justice of human existence. After all, many religions are like this. Those who follow my teachings are good people, and those who do not listen to my teachings are evil people. Therefore, good people are higher than evil people...

As a result, they now understand that the Inquisition does not do such chores. It does not matter whether humans are good or bad. As long as they are humans, they will support them unconditionally. In turn, as long as they are not human beings, they are unconditionally opposed... From a certain perspective, there is no more extreme human supremacy than this.

It must be said that it was only at this time that the two of them had a deep understanding of the existence of the Tribunal.

But soon, they would find that this was just the tip of the iceberg of the Tribunal.
