Xu Yinian's heart skipped a beat, looking at him in disbelief, Yu Huai took the time to look at him.
There was a commotion near the booth, and the light blue barrier dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Su Tang could no longer maintain his composure, and an anxious voice broke the frozen atmosphere: "It's time!"
Chen Ran turned his head abruptly, seeing Huan Yao, the patrol team and the demon extermination masters of Qihai Sub-bureau completely breaking through the restrictions, his expressions were extremely ugly.
He almost escaped, so he ran into Yu Huai... !
The phantom demon that escaped from the barrier rushed forward like a hungry tiger, Chen Ran and Su Tang turned pale, and the indomitable monsters basically lost their fighting spirit after seeing Yu Huai, and stood slumped in place. At the moment when the phantom was about to pounce on the barrier, a hand flicked in the air.
Cobweb-like puppet threads fell down everywhere, but the phantom demons didn't notice it, they only felt a prick in the neck, and the thin threads had penetrated into the spine from the back of the neck. Clenched the five fingers of that hand, and then pulled it up—
The phantoms stopped their movements at the same time, and stood still in place like wooden people. The patrol team a little farther away and the exorcists from the Qihai sub-bureau were also not spared. They were all motionless, like lifeless stone statues. This strange scene was like the pause button was suddenly pressed.
Seeing Yu Huai's fingers connected to hundreds of puppet threads, Xu Yinian and Chen Ran looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
What do you mean, infighting
There was sudden movement from the four doors of the auction hall, and a large number of exorcists in white uniforms broke in. Their uniforms had the emblem of the General Directorate embroidered on the chest. The young man who led the team had a handsome and strange face, and his long golden hair shone brightly under the light, which was a typical characteristic of the monster race.
Banyao Yuanmu, the vice principal of Fengqiao College.
Yuan Mu went straight to Yu Huai, as if he didn't see Xu Yinian and others who were trapped in the barrier, and said naturally: "Thank you."
"The Monster Elimination Bureau comes earlier next time, so I don't have to work hard." Yu Huai said while putting away the puppet thread. The phantom demon and demon extermination masters who had regained their freedom were quickly subdued by the exorcist masters of the headquarters before they could resist.
Only then did Xu Yinian understand the situation roughly, and realized that Yu Huai had nothing to do with the organizers at all, and Yuan Mu was probably called to help control the field. Xu Yinian suddenly became happy, thinking that Yu Huai did not take a detour! Joy flooded over his head in an instant, and he even forgot that he was still in the narrow barrier, and he slammed his head heavily on the barrier.
Xu Yinian hissed, and the painful sound was completely sealed in his throat by Yu Huai's silence. This bump reminded him of a problem that had been neglected for a while.
That being the case, what is the purpose of Yu Huai's villainous operation
Bored? acting? It can't be just to tease me for fun, right?
Chen Ran also reacted and breathed a sigh of relief. The monsters who were also trapped in the enchantment went through a roller coaster experience. After a lot of ups and downs, only numbness remained, and several of them sat on the ground.
Yuan Mu walked in front of a group of subdued exorcists. Recognizing that he led the team himself, the expressions of the exorcising masters in the Qihai branch changed. Yuan Mu had lived for hundreds of years, and most of the exorcising masters present had been his students.
"We received news that the Illusory Demon Clan illegally held an underground auction, and the Qihai branch refused to provide assistance to our students." Yuan Mu smiled kindly, and faced one of the demon extermination masters, "Is this true?"
The face of the person being questioned was worse than crying: "Teacher Yuan... No, no, Mr. Yuan! I don't know much about the situation, and I came here just to maintain order. We have subdued some phantom demons and are about to seek instructions from our superiors. "
"Well," Yuan Mu nodded, pointing to the large white uniform behind him, "If you don't understand anything, just ask the General Administration for instructions."
"..."
"Auctioning humans and monsters, smuggling prohibited items, dereliction of duty... Do you know how many years of crimes these add up to? It is enough for you to go to the black tower and squat in your next life! The premise is that there is still a life left after the trial!" Every said For the last crime, Yuan Mu's expression became more ferocious, and the exorcist in Qihai City turned pale when he yelled at him.
After Yuan Mu finished speaking, he resumed his previous gentle tone: "As an outstanding graduate of the college, I have forgotten all the vows I made in my head. The teacher is very disappointed in you."
After the lecture, Yuan Mu signaled, "Take them all away."
The demon extermination masters who were subdued were downcast, like quails, no longer resisting. Yuan Mu came to the huge translucent barrier and personally untied the enchantment set by Yu Huai. The monsters who had been tossing all night felt the warmth of a spring breeze when they arrived at the Monster Elimination Bureau for the first time, and some of them were so excited that they almost grabbed his hand: "Comrade from the General Bureau, can you guarantee our personal safety?"
"Of course," Yuan Mu smiled, "Don't worry, we have controlled all the phantoms."
"No, no, let's not talk about this, did you see it there? Yu Huai!" The monster whispered like a thief, "He trapped Xu Yinian alone in the barrier! You said there is nothing else but to settle accounts, Do you understand their peach blossom debts?"
"Oh, you're talking about him?" Yuan Mu's expression remained unchanged, "He's a foreign aid we urgently called in, and he released the barrier to protect you."
"?" The monster was shocked, it was the first time he saw this kind of foreign aid who was even more villainous than the villain.
Yuan Mu scanned the room, walked towards Xu Yinian who was trapped alone in the barrier, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Why, I even allocated a room for you?"
Xu Yinian whimpered, frantically beckoning Yuan Mu to release his barrier. Yuan Mu was very kind, not only untied the enchantment, but also unleashed the forbidden speech, Xu Yinian loosened his mouth and said aggressively: "Yu Huai!"
The ghost clan whose name was called by him glanced at him calmly: "Didn't you hear that? The enchantment was released to protect you. This little one is much safer than theirs."
"?" Xu Yinian didn't expect him to be so brazen, and took advantage of Yuan Mu's presence to continue to sue, "You just use the enchantment, why silence me and Chen Ran?"
Yuan Mu seemed to think this scene was very interesting, and pretended to help get justice, and said to Yu Huai: "This is your fault, how can you bully the students?"
"The two of them are too noisy." Yu Huai said lightly, and changed the subject without changing his expression, "When will we talk about business?"
Yuan Mu smiled without saying a word, and pointed to the empty entrance with his eyes: "Just in time, he is here too."
There was some commotion at the door, as if someone was approaching the auction hall. The monster clan has always been rebellious, even though most of the phantom monsters put on chains by the Demon Elimination Bureau did not show any signs of timidity, but after seeing the figure at the door, many phantom monsters with blood-stained hands lowered their heads anxiously.
"Sorry for being late."
"No," Yuan Mu said, "You came just in time, we haven't started talking yet."
"While I was preparing for the auction during the day, someone in the family was preparing for the underground auction at the same time. In the end, the Demon Elimination Bureau and the Academy had to come forward. I was negligent." Hua Hengjing walked along and saw the arrested "Is this going to take them to prison? Please leave two of them for me. We need to investigate the people involved... just the two of you."
The two phantoms that Hua Hengjing casually pointed to were taken aback, and the smarter one repeatedly begged for mercy: "Patriarch, please change someone! I don't know anything, you take the lead back! He is the only one who received the elder's help!" The one ordered by the court!"
"You reminded me," Hua Hengjing ordered the subordinates beside him, "find the leader."
"He's dead." Yu Huai said suddenly.
Hua Hengjing showed a surprised look, and Yu Huai asked more after seeing this: "Do you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind, Boss Yu." Hua Hengjing responded with a smile and motioned to his subordinates, "Then take the two of them."
Seeing this, the two phantom demons were ashamed, knowing that they were in dire straits, and grabbed the ground with both hands. When they were dragged away, they even asked the Demon Elimination Bureau for help: "I beg you! Take me to prison! I am willing to accept the trial!"
The phantom demon struggling was really pitiful, the experienced exorcist shook his head at a newcomer who was showing a look of embarrassment, and motioned him not to talk too much.
Strictly speaking, Hua Hengjing's actions did not comply with the regulations, but although he was polite, he did not give the Demon Elimination Bureau a chance to refuse, and the internal situation of the big family was always complicated, so it was not easy for the Demon Elimination Bureau to intervene.
"We preliminarily determined that the underground auction is inseparably related to the Elderly House of the Illusory Demon Clan, and there are still various matters to be investigated." Yuan Mu said at this time, "Because two students died, the academy will cooperate with the Demon Eliminator The bureau jointly investigated the incident..."
"Two students died?" Xu Yinian was taken aback.
Besides Gu Xiaodong, who else died
"A girl in your group died in the underground warehouse, where many corpses were piled up. It may be that the organizer used humans to perform blood sacrifices to meet the trigger conditions of some auction items." Yuan Mu sighed softly, "Her name is Jiang Qiuyue. "
Xu Yinian opened his eyes wide, and Chen Ran raised his head abruptly.
They almost said in unison: "How is it possible?!"
Yuan Mu motioned for them to explain. Chen Ran spoke quickly: "The last time Xu Yinian and I saw her was on the ground, she didn't have a pass, how could she come down alone?"
"How often have you seen her?"
"In the evening, she told us that there were two monsters acting suspiciously. We kidnapped them and took them underground. She stayed on the ground and waited for the college to notify me."
"Judging from the stiffness of the body, she should have died this morning."
"Illusion." Yu Huai said, "Someone pretended to be her, trying to lure you down."
"..." Xu Yinian's fingertips flashed, and he looked at Yuan Mu, "Vice Principal, I think—"
Yuan Mu directly interrupted him: "You don't want to, don't show that kind of expression that is eager to try and get involved."
Yu Huai made up the knife coldly at the side: "It's not correct to have the mentality of 'you have played me around from the beginning to the end, so I will beat you with my own hands'. It is not advisable to act on your will."
Without waiting for Xu Yinian to refute, Yu Huai added: "If you feel that you are responsible for your classmates' accidents... You are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva? You want to blame yourself for any fault."
Xu Yinian became angry from embarrassment, and uttered the mantra: "It's none of your business! There's a lot of nonsense!"
Su Tang gasped, Chen Ran covered his face, Hua Hengjing watched it very interestingly, only Yuan Mu's expression remained unchanged: "Yu Huai is right, children who have not even passed the graduation examination don't want to get involved In the affairs of the adults. Why are you guys still staying here?"
Although their group encountered a series of unlucky accidents, in the end, they could only fail the graduation examination this time. Chen Ran and Su Tang consciously turned their heads and left, but Xu Yinian remained motionless: "Don't worry about me, you continue."
Yuan Mu gave him a funny look, and turned his attention to Yu Huai: "As I said just now, the academy and the Demon Elimination Bureau have joined forces, and Hua Hengjing will try to help as much as possible. If you are interested in participating, the academy will hand over the full authority to you." You are in charge."
If you participate in the investigation on behalf of Fengqiao College, everything will be justified.
Hua Hengjing hummed from the side, and smiled: "I heard that the vice principal and Boss Yu have a good relationship, and the rumors are indeed true."
Yu Huai glanced at him: "I have something to ask you, let's go."
"Goodbye, kid." Before Hua Hengjing left, he did not forget to encourage Xu Yinian, "Come on, graduate."
Xu Yinian choked up: "... Are the two of them still human?"
Yuan Mu kindly reminded: "They are not human in the first place."
The demon extermination masters from the headquarters came and went, and the phantom demons wearing chains were escorted away one by one.
Walking out of Yuan Mu's line of sight, Hua Hengjing half-jokingly said: "Xu Yinian is quite cute. It's the first time I saw you tease someone in your free time, and you were very patient with him."
"It's not so easy to find out about the Elder's House just by relying on the Demon Elimination Bureau." Yu Huai didn't respond to the ridicule, "If you want to use the name of the Demon Elimination Bureau and the academy to clean up the house, this is a very good opportunity."
Hua Hengjing understood what he meant.
Yu Huai didn't mind him borrowing a knife to kill people, and he wouldn't investigate more if he shouldn't.
Hua Hengjing sighed: "Since you have said so, I will also confess that 'Jiang Qiuyue' was played by someone I sent, and I deliberately led them underground."
Yu Huai's voice was suppressed: "You are really honest."
Hua Hengjing simply smashed the can, and said bravely: "There is one more thing, the wolf demon caught and threatened by Xu Yinian is me."
Yu Huai looked at him expressionlessly. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Hua Hengjing quickly made amends for himself: "Don't get me wrong, I bought Xu Yinian just to use him to disrupt the underground auction and attract the Demon Elimination Bureau and the Academy to intervene."
"Hua Hengjing." Yu Huai's tone became cold, and he said incomprehensibly, "I'm very skilled in illusion, even I didn't see it."
The Patriarch of the Illusory Demon Clan sneered: "That's too much of an award, there is a specialization in the arts."
Before Yu Huai could speak, Hua Hengjing showed embarrassment: "I'm afraid you might misunderstand what you found out, so why don't I admit it first. After I succeeded to the throne, the elders in the family have always liked to sing against me. The elders value the honor of the family. I want the Illusory Demon Clan to become the number one family in the demon world. I don’t have such lofty ideals, I just want to do some business and see beautiful human girls when I have time. To get along, family honor is nothing compared to money and power at your fingertips."
"Have you expressed your thoughts to the elders' house?"
"Of course, one of them told me to get out on the spot after listening to it. The underground auction is the opportunity I have been waiting for for several years. I know what they are doing secretly behind my back, but I have no intention of stopping it. I even hope that they will hold it as grandly as possible." Such a big matter needs the right people to discover, Xu Yinian and Chen Ran have special identities, the academy will not ignore any accidents between them, and the Demon Elimination Bureau will also pay attention."
Hua Hengjing paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "I don't know about you... If I knew, I would never use him."
The atmosphere froze for a while.
"There will be no next time." Yu Huai said to him.
Hua Hengjing heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand with a smile, and patted Yu Huai's shoulder: "Our family's old monsters are not so easy to deal with. We will have a happy cooperation in the next period of time."
