Chapter 58 Feeding Monsters Like Parents
Return to the inn.
Seeing Zhou Yi and Bai Yutang hanging out together, the shopkeeper's expression became a little shaky.
Bai Yutang introduced Yan Chixiao's friend to his subordinates, which caused the three black-clothed detectives to exclaim.
"Is Mr. Yan three feet tall?"
"Does it have arms three feet wide and a large golden ring sword?"
"The storyteller is clearly talking about Zhangba Spear!"
In his free time on weekdays, Sanming police officers go to Goulan to listen to music. The most popular song in the past month has been Yan Chixiao.
Yan Chixiao cleverly used a series of tricks...
Yan Chixiao traveled thousands of miles alone...
Yan Chixiao left a letter and retreated...
When Yan Chixiao was young, she let Li...
In a short period of time, it has become a cultural trend.
Many stories whose origins are unknown are also attached to Yan Chixiao.
The people need a great hero to fight catastrophes, imagine that they can redress their grievances, and imagine that the world is difficult but there is hope, so as to meet the needs that cannot be met in real life.
Zhou Yi would not break this fantasy, but instead added fuel to the description, interspersing jokes about superheroes from previous lives to make Yan Chixiao's image more fulfilling.
"Hiss! Mr. Yan is truly a role model for our generation!"
Bai Yutang handed over to the south: "When I return to my hometown of Yuzhou, I will definitely make a detour to Wuzhou to visit."
Zhou Yi waved his hand gently, and the invisible and immaterial magic power enveloped him, blocking out internal and external sounds.
"Now that the shopkeeper can't hear you, tell me, what happened here?"
"Zhenqi realm, martial arts master, worthy of being Mr. Yan's friend."
Bai Yutang sighed in admiration and continued: "Since two years ago, some people have gone to the capital to report that their family members were missing..."
"The missing person is a salesman. According to the last person who saw him, he came towards Yanhe Village. Unfortunately, no one in the village said he saw him, and the clues ended here..."
Luojing had a population of one million, but one person was missing, and he was just a salesman. The government sent people to investigate, but when no results were found, he was recorded as missing without reason.
"After that, people reported the crime one after another, all pointing to Yanhe Village. However, every time we came to investigate, there was no result."
Bai Yutang said: "Someone reported another case today. It happened to be my turn to be on duty in Beijing, so I brought my brothers to have a look."
"Did you find anything?"
"No, I've asked more than a dozen households and I haven't seen it yet."
Bai Yutang frowned and said, "I looked through the cases of the past two years, and seven of them clearly pointed to Yanhe Village, but in the end they were all dropped."
"When you investigate a case, you just ask random questions?"
In Zhou Yi's impression, Six Gates is not a kind place. Once there is a suspect, even if the suspicion is wrong, a layer of skin will be peeled off.
There are no human rights laws in Daqian. It is a legal and reasonable investigation method to first determine the result and then use torture to find out the truth.
"This village along the river is not simple. The village is good at raising silkworms and weaving silk. The special silk is fine and smooth. It is a tribute from the palace and is very valuable. A piece of cloth can be sold for hundreds of taels outside."
Bai Yutang said helplessly: "The nobles in the palace have repeatedly praised me, so many methods are difficult to use."
"So that's it, no one else has suspected it?"
Zhou Yi pointed at it and said, "For example, the Demon Slayer Division or the Immortal Salary Division?"
Bai Yutang's expression changed and he shook his head: "No! Is it related to monsters?"
The six-door agents are weak and their jurisdiction is limited to ordinary people.
Demons and monsters can be identified and reported to the Demon Slayer Department, and someone will naturally come to eliminate the demons.
"maybe."
Zhou Yi Lingmu looked at the innkeeper. His mortal body was stained with wisps of gray-black demonic energy. He had only seen this kind of situation in the torture chamber.
Only by living with monsters for a long time can the human spirit and monster energy be mixed.
"Who in this village along the river is good at weaving silk?"
"They are all good at it. It is said to be secret skills passed down from ancestors."
"Ancestors don't even have the same surname..."
Zhou Yi looked up at the sky, his eyes penetrated the roof of the inn, and the evil spirit enveloped the entire village.
"You come with me to visit Ido at night!"
"good!"
Bai Yutang said: "You three, keep an eye on the shopkeeper. If the situation changes, immediately go to the Six Gates Demon Slaying Department and the City Defense Department to mobilize reinforcements."
Zhou Yi waved his hand to remove the magic power and asked the shopkeeper to open an upper room to stay.
…
Zishi.
Two figures left the inn.
Bai Yutang was dressed in night clothes, with only his eyes exposed.
Zhou Yi was wearing black armor and his face was randomly wrapped with a black scarf.
There are more than 300 households in the village along the river. The two of them investigated each household from east to west, north to south, and centered on the inn.
It was already late at night and everything was completely silent. There was not even a dog barking in the whole village. It was too quiet.
Zhou Yi controls the escape light, Bai Yutang's light skill is outstanding and silent.
Explorations on dozens of households in the east yielded no results, and all the people slept soundly.
The same is true for more than a hundred households in the south. Occasionally, some people get up at night, but they keep a close eye on them and find no clues.
In fact, Zhou Yi had already sensed the abnormality and was just waiting for an opportunity.
Zhou Yi explored the west side of the village one by one until he reached the ninth household. Zhou Yi smelled a trace of blood, and after looking at the qi, there was a sinister smell.
Zhou Yi stood on the roof and carefully sensed where the evil spirit was.
Bai Yutang asked: "Brother Qin, what's the problem?"
Zhou Yi did not answer him, but secretly used magic power to turn into a needle, penetrated the ground several feet deep, and stabbed into a soft cocoon.
Hiss!
There was a strange cry in the middle of the night, located in the room below the two of them.
"Go down and take a look."
Zhou Yi's figure flashed and landed on the windowsill.
Bai Yutang gently tapped the broken paper window, and the room was completely dark.
There was a rustling sound of someone getting dressed in the house. I got up and lit a candle to illuminate the house.
"Why did the child wake up?"
"Go and have a look. Don't tell me it's hungry."
The woman urged a few times, and the man lifted a wooden board in the house, revealing the soil underneath.
The soil bulged up as big as a person's head, and then a black and white spider slowly emerged and jumped into the man's arms.
The man was not afraid, but stroked the hair on the spider's body, like coaxing a child.
"The child must be hungry, feed it quickly."
The woman's eyes were full of love: "It's not long since you spun silk, and you want the child to lay eggs again. What if it's exhausted?"
"No, I've prepared blood food, how can I let the child starve."
The man carefully put the spider on the bed, turned around and went to the compartment, and quickly took out the blood food.
A whole human leg.
The spider smelled the blood, hissed excitedly, jumped up and lay on the thigh to eat, making a thumping sound.
"Eat slowly, don't overeat."
"If you lay eggs this year, you can't reproduce next year."
"I know, I'm doing this for the good of my family!"
"..."
Outside the window.
Zhou Yi looked at the scene expressionlessly, and held Bai Yutang with one hand to prevent him from rushing in.
Zhou Yi had seen many scenes in the torture chamber that were a hundred times more horrible and cruel than this.
Some big monsters who like to eat humans even keep a large number of humans in captivity, and invite monsters from all directions to hold a human banquet.
Whenever they encounter such big monsters, they will enjoy a top-level meal of 3,600 dollars before they die.
Zhou Yi grabbed Bai Yutang's shoulders, flashed, and returned to the inn a moment later.
"Brother Qin, why did you stop me?"
Bai Yutang's eyes were red. When he was in the martial arts world, he was nicknamed the Thief Saint.
The most brutal people in the martial arts world I have seen are just raping and looting. Have you ever heard of killing people to feed spider monsters?
"I can tell you that the whole village here feeds spider monsters. The so-called secret art of weaving silk is nothing more than weaving spider silk into silk."
Zhou Yi looked directly at Bai Yutang and said in a serious voice: "Are you sure you want to investigate? Once the truth is revealed, it will at least cause a sensation in Luojing. You will be famous in Kyoto, but you will also become a thorn in the eyes of some people."
"Yan Chixiao is different from you. He is alone and fearless, but your Bai family is different..."
"I..."
Bai Yutang's face changed, and sweat instantly soaked his clothes.
