727. Chapter 726 Killing a Chicken to Scare a Monkey
The joy of the breakthrough made Chu Fei walk around in the secret room excitedly. After walking for a long time, he couldn't hold back and left the secret room again, ready to go outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, the electromagnetic perception "warned", and the unique fluctuation instantly made Chu Fei explode: Demon Spirit!
There is a demon spirit in the city lord's mansion!
Moreover, this demon spirit did not attack anyone, just hiding in the corner honestly.
In just a moment, Chu Fei understood that this demon spirit was "resting"!
After the ghost spirit and the demon spirit are full, they also need to rest and find a place to digest and absorb.
Looking at the hidden position of the demon spirit and feeling the strength of the demon spirit, Chu Fei felt that this should be a veteran!
The demon spirit is hidden in a good place, which is the pavilion in the center of the garden in the city lord's mansion and under the suspended floor.
This location is probably a typical dark under the lamp. And it is winter now, and there are not many fools who go into the pavilion. There are also few people cleaning here.
Moreover, the demon spirit is not a human being. When it hides, it will squeeze into the gap like flowing water, which is also unexpected by ordinary people.
Chu Fei's powerful electromagnetic perception swept around and scanned the terrain of the pavilion.
There is a pit under the pavilion, where you can make a fire. But now it has become a refuge for the demon spirit.
This place is very hidden and you can't see it directly with your eyes. If it weren't for the electromagnetic perception's "turning" ability, the demon spirit would have missed it.
"How audacious!" Chu Fei couldn't help but sigh.
To say that demon spirits and ghosts actually have considerable intelligence, they should be treated as human beings.
It's just that they were made into weapons, so there may be some shortcomings in some places. This shortcoming is probably that they are more reckless and not afraid of death. But that's all, and it doesn't affect their intelligence much.
It is precisely because of this intelligence that the demon spirit will hide here.
Chu Fei thought for a moment and didn't move the demon spirit.
Now, Chu Fei really wants to see where the demon spirit will go next. There are not many opportunities to observe demon spirits.
After locking the demon, Chu Fei continued to wander around and check for loopholes.
Thanks to the improvement of his cultivation, the direct perception range of electromagnetic perception ability has increased from 100 meters to 300 meters. This is very practical.
Compared with the wind of perception, electromagnetic perception is more delicate. Of course, it consumes more computing power.
After a while, he scanned the city lord's mansion and did not find the second demon. This also made Chu Fei more interested in this demon. It seems that this guy is not simple.
After a circle, Chu Fei came to the office of the city lord's mansion. Someone here has sorted out the recent things and is waiting for Chu Fei's instructions.
After a quick look, I found that there are really a lot of things that the city lord needs to do, such as personnel appointments, job transfers, resource allocations, wages and salaries, etc., all stuffed in front of me.
Although Chu Fei has not been in power for a long time, it has been more than two months on and off, but there is obviously something wrong with this pile of documents.
Without thinking, Chu Fei just took out the contents arranged by the demon spirits and masters, and threw the rest aside, "Let the deputy city lord deal with it. The most important thing now is the problem of the demon spirits, and the problem of the weapons of the masters.
I am mainly responsible for solving the problems of the demon spirits and weapons. Let the deputy city lord deal with the rest."
The deputy city lord is just an 11.0 guy. Chu Fei now knows the specific cultivation level of the deputy city lord Zhang Weiming: 11.6.
With such a cultivation level, Chu Fei feels that he can beat ten of them.
As for whether this is suspected of bullying, of course not.
When Zhang Weiming put these messy things in front of him, Chu Fei only saw one signal: hit me!
There is a saying that if you ask for a hammer, you will get a hammer. Chu Fei is a real person. Since you dare to do this, Zhang Weiming, you must be prepared to be beaten.
Dare to give me a blast, do you really think that the city lord is a decoration!
Chu Fei, who has just completed the breakthrough, is full of confidence.
It is not even a matter of confidence. Chu Fei also wants to establish his authority now. What better way to establish authority than to kill the old city lord?
If he is obedient and knows the current situation, then beat him up, or kill him if that doesn't work.
Zhang Weiming is a puppet pushed out by the three major families of Zhou, Qian, and Wang, and is a bullied character.
Others can bully him, so why can't I bully him a little? Especially since Zhang Weiming is playing tricks on me!
If you don't play tricks, I can still help you. Now, you fucking have to lean on the wall.
Not long after Chu Fei sent away the temporary secretary, Zhang Weiming came over. Old Zhang looked humble and helpless, "City Lord."
"Yeah." Chu Fei nodded proudly, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Weiming held the lost information and answered "cautiously": "City Lord, these materials are beyond my scope of handling."
"I authorize you to handle it." Chu Fei waved his hand, "Go and get busy. I will first familiarize myself with the situation of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is expected that I will officially take over the work here after the Spring Festival.
Now everyone is busy dealing with demons and Tianlong people, and I have to forge swords and swords, so I don't have time to deal with these."
"This..." Zhang Weiming looked helpless.
Chu Fei: "Why, the deputy city lord doesn't even have this much responsibility? Let's put it this way, I'll take responsibility if something goes wrong. Or you tell me who has a problem or who resists orders."
Zhang Weiming immediately said: "Zhang Xiaobo from the Finance Department and Zhao Guanglong who is in charge of the warehouse have been uncooperative."
Chu Fei: "Are these two people in the city lord's mansion?"
"Yes."
"Call them over."
In less than a minute, Zhang Xiaobo and Zhao Guanglong appeared in front of Chu Fei.
Chu Fei looked at the two of them and said directly: "The deputy city lord said that you two don't cooperate with your work?"
Zhang Xiaobo immediately cried out: "City Lord, the Finance Department has no money. I would like to cooperate with the work, but the salary cannot be paid. What can I do?"
Zhao Guanglong said after a while: "City Lord, there is nothing in the warehouse. Many things cannot reach the warehouse at all, and there are even some who have the privilege to get things directly from the warehouse without me. Now there are rats running around in the warehouse."
Chu Fei nodded, "Zhang Xiaobo."
"Here." Zhang Xiaobo stood up straight immediately.
Chu Fei: "From now on, you will be responsible for the warehouse and finance, and you will be responsible for both of them."
"ah……"
"ah……"
"ah……"
The three of them were shocked by Chu Fei's order.
Zhao Guanglong opened his mouth and hesitated before asking, "City Lord, then I..."
"You're useless."
Zhang Guanglong's faint words made the hairs on his body stand on end, and he had to avoid him.
However, Zhang Guanglong immediately discovered that the surrounding space was frozen, and he could not open his mouth to speak.
The same goes for Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Weiming next to them.
Chu Fei waved his hand gently, and with a slight and deft clang, the "flying sword" turned into a stream of light, and swiped across Zhang Guanglong's neck. Then the "flying sword" turned around and penetrated Zhang Guanglong's head again from the back of his head, like a candied haws on a skewer.
Chu Fei's sudden attack shocked Zhang Xiaobo and deputy city leader Zhang Weiming, and even broke out in cold sweat. They stared at Zhang Guanglong in stunned silence, not realizing that they could turn around.
Under Chu Fei's control, mainly due to the freezing effect of the surrounding true energy field, there was no blood splashing.
But it seemed scarier. It felt like dismantling a puppet rather than killing a real person.
Chu Fei withdrew the flying sword, and Zhang Guanglong's body was frozen alone in the field. Chu Fei said to Zhang Xiaobo very calmly: "Go and check the accounts of the warehouse and find out Zhang Guanglong and the interest groups behind him.
Don't worry about checking. As long as it doesn't lead to 12.0 practitioners, feel free to check. If the difference is over 12.0, come to me and I will find an argument with the other party.
During the investigation, anyone who dares to stop him will be killed directly.
The warehouse that supports the entire Cangyun City cluster is empty. Let's see how many we can kill this time! "
Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Weiming looked at each other and did not dare to speak. With the example of Zhang Guanglong in front of them, the two believed that Chu Fei would definitely do what he said.
Chu Fei waved his hand and asked the two of them to leave, and then asked someone to come in and clean up Zhang Guanglong's body.
After a while, staff members came in to collect the bodies. They lowered their heads the whole time, not daring to look into Chu Fei's eyes, and occasionally trembled.
Regarding everyone's performance, Chu Fei just had a mysterious smile on his face.
In fact, killing Zhang Guanglong was really not a casual killing by Chu Fei. Don't forget, Chu Fei has the means of "gaining Qi" through spiritual perception.
Hope may be very vague, but if a person is too evil, it will be much clearer.
Under Chu Fei's spiritual perception, this Guanglong aura spread its teeth and claws, which was obviously not a good idea.
The new official took office three times, and Chu Fei didn't bother to interrogate him or anything. This is not a society ruled by law, so of course he should be cut down directly and find someone to investigate.
Sometimes it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly so that the other party has no time to clean up the various tails and his accomplices have no time to react, so that all the evidence is laid out in plain sight.
At the same time, killing this guy also gave investigators less worries and they could worry about it.
Of course, I also took the opportunity to play a game of killing chickens and scaring monkeys to let Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Weiming, especially Zhang Weiming, know how powerful they are.
Thinking about the memory that was frozen around them and unable to move at all, the two of them would wake up a lot.
Freezing the void and traveling through the void, these are the standard capabilities of 12.0!
While thinking, Chu Fei discovered that the demon spirit was moving.
"Here comes the fun stuff!"
I only saw Chu Fei standing up, raising his feet forward, but stepping on the void, ten centimeters away from the ground.
Chu Fei just stepped on the void, and his figure suddenly jumped out. The whole process was silent.
This is achieved by relying on the phase change manifold and the true element field. In fact, the true element field forms a "balloon" floating in the air, and the phase change manifold solidifies and settles.
While moving forward, Chu Fei summarized the advantages and disadvantages of flying with wings and flying with manifolds.
Manifold flight:
Advantages: Not affected by terrain, flexible and conducive to combat, and can be achieved silently; during flight, you need to expand your true energy field and bring your own defense;
Disadvantages: high energy consumption, greater computing power consumption, and the speed is not fast enough after all - if you want to rely on manifolds to move forward, you need a lot of calculations, energy control and transformation;
The field of true energy floats in the air in a manner that imitates a balloon. Although this is not a real balloon, it does have resistance after all.
In fact, relying on the manifold to advance requires the expansion of the true energy field, which is easily discovered. This can only be said to be "silent" but not "silent".
Wings for flight:
Advantages: Very familiar, consumes very little energy and computing power, and is fast;
Disadvantages: It is loud and easy to detect, and the wings require enough space, so it cannot be used in small places or dense jungles.
Therefore, it is best to combine the two flight methods to form a truly perfect defense.
While thinking, Chu Fei had already tracked the demon spirit and left the city lord's mansion.
When the demon spirit left the city lord's mansion and advanced one kilometer, Chu Fei once again sensed the second demon spirit.
Later, under the leadership of this demon spirit, Chu Fei discovered five more demon spirits.
After the seven demons gathered, they obviously gathered together to communicate. Unfortunately, Chu Fei didn't know how the demons communicated, and then he saw seven demons rushing straight towards the Yunlong Garden Hotel.
Yunlong Garden Hotel is the property of the Zhou family, which was previously intended to be given to Chu Fei and the Pharmaceutical Research Center.
Many people live here, especially those in business travel. If there is an attack here, the impact will be huge.
The demons have no entity and are very fast. If Chu Fei chases them frantically, he may not be able to catch up, or even arouse vigilance and run away. Once these demons scatter and run away, it will be troublesome.
The demons can get into small gaps, and their lack of entity leads to their fast speed. Even Chu Fei is not sure to chase a demon who is determined to run away!
After thinking about it, Chu Fei finally decided: Let's make these unlucky guys suffer first. It's better to cry all the way than to cry at home. Let's use you to hold back these seven demons.
In fact, Chu Fei knew very well that this seemed to be a helpless choice, but it was also a different kind of helplessness. But, the city lord, I really tried my best.
Seven demons followed the shadows on the roadside and arrived at the hotel quietly, and no one noticed them. It can only be said that in terms of concealment, demons and ghosts have really reached their limit.
But it's good this way. The more hidden these demons are, the less they dare to kill.
Chu Fei walked into the hotel, and all the people who were talking in the hall turned their heads to look at Chu Fei.
Chu Fei nodded, and suddenly stretched out his hand to "attack" a guy. The man jumped down, but couldn't jump up, and the surroundings were frozen.
Fear hovered in this guy's heart.
But the next moment, Chu Fei saw Chu Fei dragging out a figure that seemed to be made of light black smoke from his shadow.
"Demon!"
Some people around screamed.
Chu Fei opened his mouth and "sucked" the demon away directly. During the whole process, the demon was stretched, just like eating a noodle.
Seeing Chu Fei's posture, some people around were actually swallowing their saliva.
Demons and ghosts are very dangerous, but demons and ghosts can be eaten. This is a great tonic for the soul. Chu Fei was the first to make this news public.
Now seeing Chu Fei's flexible posture, many people are jealous.
Chu Fei waved his hand and continued to move forward. The guy who was just frozen by Chu Fei finally woke up. He screamed at first, but stopped halfway and bowed to Chu Fei to thank him.
Chu Fei turned the corner and soon pulled out another demon spirit in the corner. He still swallowed it directly.
If there were no outsiders, Chu Fei would definitely compress these demon spirits and seal them in a golden ball for preservation. It will not be easy to get demon spirits in the future.
But in front of so many people, he could only eat them. It's just that this way of eating them whole is not very efficient.
Fortunately, Chu Fei has upgraded recently, and his soul (negative entropy) has also grown, so he can digest more demon spirits.
After that, Chu Fei quickly caught five demon spirits and ate them all in front of everyone; at this time, Chu Fei had climbed to the third floor.
Many people followed Chu Fei, but everyone became more and more silent. At this time, more than a dozen people should have been killed by demon spirits, and died silently. These people were all alone in the room.
Coming out of the room again, Chu Fei moved his ears and heard screams coming from the direction of the first floor hall.
Chu Fei knew that it was the demon spirit that showed up on its own initiative, without any cover-up.
As a unique weapon, the demon spirit has flaws in its character. When encountering problems, it is easy to get angry. Now the remaining two demon spirits probably found the danger, but did not think about running away, but prepared to fight against Chu Fei.
Chu Fei rushed out of the window directly, flew to the first floor in the air, and the powerful electromagnetic perception instantly scanned the two demon spirits. One of the two demon spirits was killing people in the hall, and the other was hiding in the corner.
Obviously, this guy wanted to play a sneak attack.
With his eyes rolling, Chu Fei rushed towards the demon spirit in the hall. At the moment of approaching, the ambush demon spirit rushed out and instantly rushed to the 14-meter range around Chu Fei.
Chu Fei smiled, and the true essence field froze instantly, and the two demon spirits stopped in mid-air.
It is not easy to chase the demon spirit, but it is much easier if the demon spirit takes the initiative to run.
In Chu Fei's domain, there were still a few people with terrified faces. Just now, they were only half a meter away from the demon spirit entering their bodies.
Only by watching the process of the demon spirit killing people up close, you will know what horror is.
The "rendering special effect" that forcibly pulls the soul out of the body is really too terrifying - unlike the ghost spirit killing, the demon spirit will pull the soul out when killing, and the situation of the soul and the body being drawn is not very good-looking.
Chu Fei grabbed the two demon spirits in his hands, shrank the scope of the true essence domain, and slowly spoke:
"Everyone, I'm sorry that there are still seven fish that have escaped. Now all the demon spirits have been caught, and everyone can rest assured."
There was sparse applause immediately, but many people were still a little stunned. Today's incident exceeded the tolerance of ordinary people.
Some people squeezed towards Chu Fei holding the bodies of their companions or family members.
Without waiting for these people to come over, Chu Fei spoke again: "There are two demon spirits left now. I am going to auction them. The proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate those who were killed by the demon spirits today.
The scope of participation in the auction is the people in the hotel.
Everyone notify each other, the auction will start in one hour.
The demon spirit can directly replenish the soul, that is, negative entropy and increase spirituality. This is the only thing known so far that can make people smarter and can repair the low innate potential index. Even the masters with 12.0 are competing for it.
The starting price starts from 1 billion. Again, only people in the hotel can participate in the auction. "
Before Chu Fei finished speaking, someone immediately raised their hands.
"you say."
This person squeezed out and was a little excited: "City Lord, the demon spirits are very dangerous, can we eat them directly?"
"Don't worry, I will help."
Someone else raised their hands, and after receiving Chu Fei's consent, he said, "City Lord, we are the ones participating in the auction. But what if someone asks for foreign help? Maybe we are the ones participating in the auction, but the money for the auction comes from outside."
Chu Fei smiled, "Otherwise, why do you think I would give you an hour?"
Everyone:...
It felt fair at first, but what happened now?
Fortunately, before everyone could speak, Chu Fei spoke: "Everyone, this is an opportunity for you. If outside money wants to come in, it will have to go through your hands. Most of the people here are businessmen, don't tell me that you won't be low-key." Buy high, sell high or something.
In short, this is the compensation for you. But whether you can grasp it or not depends on you.
Moreover, the auction price is higher in this way, and more compensation is given to the dead.
Okay, there are still 59 minutes left... um... forget it, let's start the auction at 13:00, so there are still 67 minutes left. "
Chu Fei's words made everyone active, and everyone became busy one after another.
Looking at the busy figures of everyone, Chu Fei smiled.
In fact, another consideration for this arrangement is to prevent everyone from jointly lowering prices. Although this may be low, it is always just in case.
Moreover, there were many people present, including rich and poor people. If we do not bring in foreign aid, it will be truly unfair to those who have no money.
As a city lord, Chu Fei has too many things to consider.
Then Chu Fei grabbed two demon spirits and began to explain the characteristics of the demon spirits and how to defend against them in the hall.
Electromagnetic field detection equipment can detect demons. However, you must have both electromagnetic wave and electromagnetic field scanning modes to detect monsters. Ordinary low-level electromagnetic equipment is not enough.
After discovering the demon spirit, you should run away as soon as possible and contact the surrounding experts at the same time. Many masters are hunting demon spirits now.
As for whether he can escape, then...it depends on fate.
It would be nice to be able to detect the demons in advance. At least I would know how I died and be more understanding... Well...wait a minute, the souls of those killed by the demons will be eaten.
While Chu Fei was explaining the demon spirits, the time quickly came to 13 o'clock.
The auction was held in the hotel, and the price quickly soared to 2 billion; only then did the big guys bid, and the auction entered the decisive stage.
At around 14 o'clock, the auction ended. The two monsters were sold for a total of 5.5 billion, all of which came from funds outside the hotel. Among them, the stronger one is 2.9 billion, and the slightly weaker one is 2.6 billion.
While waiting to eat the demon spirit, two old acquaintances of Chu Fei appeared: Zhou Xuyang and Qian Guangyuan.
When the two of them arrived in front of Chu Fei, they nodded and bowed. The partners who once fought side by side are now completely different.
Chu Fei did not embarrass the two of them, and personally guided them to devour the demon spirit in small bites. After swallowing it for a while, digest it and absorb it. When it is completely digested, take another bite.
Thanks to the ability of demon spirits to be constantly resurrected, they are always fresh until they are completely devoured. During the whole process, the demon struggled in Chu Fei's hands, his face distorted. Unfortunately, there is no way to escape.
Under Chu Fei's protection, it took the two of them four full hours to finally absorb the demon spirit. The surrounding audience also watched in shock for four hours.
This kind of situation where experts assist in eating demon spirits is rare, especially if it is broadcast live, everyone has recorded first-hand information. Then people shot from different angles exchange videos with each other.
This video can also be sold for a lot of money. For example, Zhou Xuyang and Qian Guangyuan paid for one copy, each spending one million yuan.
Chu Fei then took charge of the compensation work. 5.5 billion, a total of 13 people. Mainly compensation is based on cultivation level.
This compensation method is very mature and was completed quickly under Chu Fei's supervision.
After receiving compensation, several people applied to enter the city lord's palace.
Chu Fei pondered for a while. Those who died were all masters, and the remaining members of the family were not of high cultivation and could not protect this wealth.
After thinking about it, Chu Fei could only arrange them in the Chuanliu Distribution Base - now it is the property of the Pharmacy Research Center and the self-rescue society.
After Chu Fei finished his work and returned to the city lord's palace, Zhang Xiaobo had been waiting for a long time with the investigation results. (End of chapter)
