The lights are on.
Asking Xianlu is bustling and bustling.
Chuzheng slowly walked back to Huangquan Road.
"Girl."
The uncle of the store next door stood at the door of his own store, and when he saw her coming back, he called her.
The shop was not open, the uncle was mostly hidden in the darkness, the smoke in his hand went out, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"problem occurs."
Chuzheng turned around and took a few steps up the steps, the uncle turned to let her in.
There are already several people in the store.
The air was heavy.
Chuzheng came in, and the boy in the clown hat who was sitting on the main seat, got up and sat next to him.
Chuzheng pulled out the chair and sat down, with an indifferent tone: "What's the matter."
The boy in the clown hat pressed his chin towards the corner of the shop: "A person died."
Chuzheng looked sideways.
A corpse was covered with black cloth in the corner.
Chuzheng put her fingertips on the edge of the table and tapped lightly: "How did you die?"
The uncle smoked a cigarette: "There is no wound or disease in the body. It should be a sojourn. But what is strange is that we did not find any fluctuations in spiritual values."
Chu Zheng swept the presence of a few glances, got up calmly, walked to the corpse, and lifted the black cloth.
Chuzheng stretched out his hand: "Knife."
The boy in the clown hat went to get a knife and handed it to Chuzheng.
Chuzheng lifted the corpse's upper body clothes, and the knife ripped open the corpse's stomach.
There was no scene of blood flowing, and there was no blood in this corpse.
Not only that, the organs that should have existed are gone, and the stomach is empty, like a human-shaped mold.
"Sure enough, I was sojourned..."
Some unknown creatures live in the human body and use human beings as food.
The blood and internal organs of the human body will be swallowed by unknown creatures. When there is nothing, unknown creatures will abandon this body and look for the next one.
Chu Zheng frowned slightly, pulled the arm of the corpse, and looked at it for a moment.
Chu Zheng lifted the black cloth back, got up, took the handkerchief handed over to wipe his hands, and sat back on the chair slowly: "Whose family is this?"
"Old Asia's."
"What about people?"
"I'm going to call him."
-
Lao Ya is a middle-aged man who looks a little simple and honest.
Being brought in by the uncle, he was obviously a little cautious.
Chu Zheng lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The uncle patted Lao Ya's shoulder: "Tell me about the identity of the deceased."
Lao Ya rubbed his hands: "Yes, it's a newly hired helper two months ago. There is no problem with the identity. I have checked it..."
Someone questioned: "He was sojourned, didn't you find out?"
Lao Ya was stunned and shook his head: "No... No."
Chuzheng raised her eyes and looked at Lao Ya with a calm tone: "If there is anything unusual, tell me."
"No... nothing unusual..." Lao Ya recalled the past two months: "He doesn't like to talk much, but he is diligent in his hands and feet. He has been here for the past two months and has not made any mistakes."
Lao Ya couldn't tell any more clues.
Chuzheng asked him to go back first.
The uncle lit another cigarette: "Girl, you said this..."
Chuzheng was silent.
The rest discussed in a low voice.
"Recently, I always feel that it's not quite right to ask Xianlu."
"I just said, you can't recruit outsiders, something happened now."
"How did it do it without being discovered after living in so long?"
"Is it some other ability?"
Other... ability.
Chuzheng thought of X346, and the same is true...
Chuzheng tapped the back of the chair with her fingertips: "How much do you know about this?"
"Lao Ya found out that someone was dead, and notified me as soon as possible. For the time being, that's all we know." The uncle said.
Chu Zheng nodded: "Dispose of the corpse and ask all the outsiders in Xianlu."
The others looked at each other a few times and left one after another.
Chu Zheng didn't leave, just sitting in the uncle's shop.
The noise outside gradually subsided.
In the quiet night, there was no sound.
the next day.
The boy in the clown hat came back first and threw a notebook on the table: "I found two sojourners, but..."
The teenager put the small transparent porcelain bottle in front of Chuzheng, and there was light shining inside.
"They are all dead, only their spirits are caught."
Spirit points are used to identify unknown creatures.
Soul is an unknown creature, a kind of energy condensed after death.
Why is it called that? Probably because, like the human soul after death, it was given such a name in order to make it known.
Chu Zheng took a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Go in!"
A woman's voice sounded from outside, and then a person was pushed in, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The clown hat boy raised his eyebrows: "Sister Su Yao, did you catch a live one?"
The woman who came in was wearing a leather jacket and trousers, with a leather whip in her hand, and curly burgundy hair. She looked like a royal sister.
She flipped her hair: "your sister is not a vegetarian."
Chu Zheng looked down at the people on the ground.
"What have you been doing all this time?"
Su Yao and the clown hat boy's expressions changed slightly.
It is indeed their dereliction of duty to ask that so many unknown creatures have infiltrated the Immortal Road.

Where is Xianlu
In Asking Immortal Road, except for ordinary people recruited to work, the rest are dealing with unknown creatures.
Asking the Immortal Road is older than the official Unknown Creature Management Office.
But these people are not born to ask about the path of immortality.
But one day, he could suddenly see unknown creatures, and was called psychic awakening by those who asked about the path of immortality.
Then…
The first zither will appear.
If they agree to stay in Wenxian Road, they will get a contract.
If they don't agree, they lose the ability to see unknown creatures and lose the memory of it all.
The contract period is generally 50 to 100 years.
After the time is up, the contract can be cancelled.
Releasing the contract or returning to a normal life, of course, will lose all memories of asking the fairy way, unknown creatures, and so on.
Either stay on Wenxian Road, guard those memories, and spend the rest of your life here.
And about finding their first zither.
No one knows her origins.
According to Wen Xianlu, some old people who have rescinded their contracts and stayed here said that she was there a long time ago.
It's always been this way, it hasn't changed.
They only knew her name, and she had a bad temper. When she wasn't on business, she didn't have any pretence except for her expressionless face - just look at the manner in which the old men yelled at her.
-
The uncle also brought someone back.
The rest of the people brought back spirits.
A dozen bottles were lined up on the table.
Chuzheng crossed her chest with one hand and rested her chin with one hand, looking at the porcelain vase on the table.
"What's your purpose when you came to ask Xianlu?"
Su Yao swung a small leather whip and asked questions beside him.
The two who were caught refused to speak.
Chuzheng pulled Su Yao, who wanted to move rough.
"We do everything..."
The one who spoke, watched helplessly as his companions turned into powder.
The soul of the stars drifted out.
Chuzheng raised her hand, and her soul automatically gathered in her palm. She took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it on the edge of the table.
The girl turned her head slowly, her icy gaze fell on him.
