Looking at Bai Zhi standing up in front of him, Xun Wu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I do have information about her, but why should I..."
"Ten cases of beer, guaranteed to be top quality."
"make a deal."
About half an hour later, Bai Zhi left the Criminal Division.
It is naturally impossible to take back the information about Li Ruoyue and hand it over to Li Ruoyue for translation, so the relevant translation texts are all done in the Criminal Apprehension Department.
Others read, and he listens.
Although in the end, he could not find any problems in this quite complete file, but precisely because there were no problems, he was sure that there must be problems with the other party.
Or it can be said that it is not just Li Ruoyue, who is suspected of being a misfortune, who has a problem, but the entire Tianqiu Valley people have a problem.
One of the basic functions of the Demon Refining Pot is that all beings who enter the Demon Refining Pot can generate a household registration. This is not only applicable to humans, but also to ghosts like Xiaohua and even to the Shadow Guard. The same applies.
That's right, even if the shadow guard enters the demon refining pot, he can generate a detailed household registration.
But unfortunately, this feature failed in Li Ruoyue's case.
After learning the name of Wu Lingmeng from Phalaenopsis, he deliberately checked her household registration to confirm... but failed.
There was no household registration about her in the demon refining pot.
Although he later asked this question to the Immortal in the Pot, it was obviously the first time he encountered such a thing with the Immortal in the Pot, and he couldn't explain why.
In order to verify whether Li Ruoyue was a special case or whether everyone else in Tianqiu Valley was like this, he deliberately conducted an experiment and instructed the shadow guards to secretly use sacks to cover several people and move them into the Demon Refining Pot.
—It turns out that Li Ruoyue is not the only one with problems.
It was precisely for this reason that he would later start a plan that was almost like checking household registration, with the purpose of finding some inconsistencies.
The tragedy that happened 85 years ago may not be as simple as he imagined.
… … … … … … … … …
Because the person outside was the shadow puppet, Bai Zhi did not rush back, but casually found a place to sit down.
Although a lot of clues have been found so far, they are too complicated and messy. He needs to spend some time to sort them out before he can twist the thread he wants.
… The time they have left is actually running out.
This is not alarmist, nor is it a meaningless speculation on his part, but a fact that he came up with based on comparison.
The longer they stay in Tianqiu Valley, the faster their energy is consumed, as if something invisible is sucking their energy, and they are gradually weakening.
In the past few days, Li and the others from the mountainside had plenty of energy. Even if they went out all night, it would not have much impact. But now, except for him, everyone else is replenishing their energy in the Demon Refining Pot. Sleep.
Although he is a little better than others, his benefits are limited.
It can be expected that if they continue at the current rate, it won't take long for their energy to decline to the point where they are inferior to ordinary people.
"...Is it really just a cognitive error?"
Lying on the roof of a certain beam and looking at the floating islands in the sky from a distance, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
In fact, after discovering the anomaly, his first priority was to go to that house again with Phalaenopsis and the others, but even after Yuzi's veritaserum, mountainside man Li's Buddhist induction and smoke-calling... Under the three trials of dream torture, the other party's words never changed at all.
—His grandfather really died when he was five years old.
As for the other family who insists that my mother died before I was born, their story is the same.
"... I hope Xunwu can come up with some results from the investigation."
Bai Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, letting out a small breath in his mouth.
Ever since he entered the world of mountains and seas, strange things have happened one after another. He now feels like he has a bit of a neurasthenia...
"That's him, sleeping on the beam of my house and eating at the same time!!"
At this time, a voice full of anger and grievance came from below the room.
"Official, you have to make the decision for me. It's not easy for me to run a small business, and it's all messed up by this guy!!"
"Uh... do you think it's possible that the food you made doesn't taste good?"
Bai Zhi slightly looked helpless as he sat up from the beam and looked at the crowd of people gathered under the eaves to watch the excitement.
"And besides, I'm just..."
"It's the master killer!!"
Before Bai Zhi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the exclamation from below.
"I know him. He is the wanted killer who has done all kinds of evil! According to the wanted order, he is especially fond of attacking wives. The targets involved range from 6 to 86 years old. He is also known as a prostitute along with the perverted monk. Sha Shuang Xiong!!”
Bai Zhi: "..."
... Now he suddenly wanted to go back and kill that Xun Wu.
"Forget it, let's go back."
Looking at the people below who were hurriedly hiding his wife, Bai Zhi stood up from the beam with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth.
"When we meet next time, I have to deal with that guy Xun Wu...!?"
Suddenly, looking at the scenery in front of him, Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly.
It was as if the world had been pressed to stop time, and in front of him, everyone stopped what they were doing at the same moment.
Just when he wanted to find out, he was horrified to find that the body of the shadow puppet was also frozen on the beam. In addition to being able to have his own thoughts, he and the people on the street were also There is no difference between those who live there.
… It’s not just the outside.
When his thoughts returned to the body in the demon refining pot, he found that everything in the demon refining pot also entered a strange state of stillness.
Whether it is the mountainside man Li and others, or the immortals in the pot, these creatures that originally existed in the pot world, their time has been stagnated.
"It's not a problem with the protective implant..."
After using the effect of Pluto to share the vision of the surrounding people and discover the current situation in the pot, Bai Zhi's heart suddenly sank slightly.
Originally, he thought it was a problem with the protective value, but now even the entire Huzhong Realm has been affected. This is not a disaster that a small protective plant can afford.
After a moment of pondering, Bai Zhi turned his thoughts to the shadow puppets in the outside world again.
As before, the shadow puppet is still in a state where it cannot respond. Although some skills can still be used in this situation, the cost of using the skills has been increased for no reason. More than hundreds of times.
For example, in the Ghost Realm, he just moved his shadow puppet's body from under the eaves to under the eaves. Such a short distance of a few meters put a huge burden on his spirit, and he felt as if he was exhausted. It was like staying in an Internet cafe all night for seven days and seven nights.
"What the hell is this? It's just like a disconnection attack... disconnection?"
Suddenly something occurred to him, and using God's perspective to look at the surrounding scenery, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
… Isn’t the current situation where everyone is forced to standstill and even the world is shut down similar to being disconnected from the Internet
The 85-year time difference, the household registration that cannot be entered into the Demon Refining Pot, and that weird cognitive distortion...
Vaguely, a vague guess emerged in Bai Zhi's mind.
But before he could think about it for too long, a sudden change occurred.
—The sky above our heads completely darkened at a certain moment.
Darkness beyond reach covered the earth in an instant.
But before this darkness lasted for too long, all kinds of strange lights appeared in the darkness again.
... Bai Zhi clearly saw the source of the light.
In the darkness, all the protective plants on the people on the street spontaneously emerged from their bodies, as if they were alive. These plants that emerged from their bodies and coexisted with them stretched to their heart's content. The whole body exudes a strange light.
From a distance, the current strange scene does not have much of a terrifying atmosphere, but more of a beauty that cannot be expressed in words.
Pure white, emerald green, bright red, bright yellow, colorful...
In this dark world, there are countless light spots of various colors blooming quietly.
"Protective plant..."
Feeling the countless subtle pains coming from the shadow puppet, as if he was being swallowed and chewed by the darkness, Bai Zhi suddenly understood the true meaning of the protective plant at this moment.
"Wait a minute, if people who don't plant protective plants will be swallowed up by darkness, then the world in the pot..."
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's expression suddenly changed.
Not to mention the Summoning Smoke, which cannot plant protective plants, there are tens of thousands of monsters in the Pot Realm, including the Pot Immortal. If these things are all swallowed up by the darkness, if…
"No, we have to put away the demon refining pot quickly..."
No longer caring about the shadow puppet over there that was being swallowed by the darkness, his consciousness returned to his own body, and Bai Zhi tried to drive his body.
Just like the situation in the outside world, it was already dark inside the Huzhongjie at this time. However, because of the existence of the protective plant, he himself was not swallowed by the darkness. The pure white light emitted by the protective plant was very good. The earth protected him.
… But what about everyone else
Huanyan and the other creatures in the pot world can't resist it for long.
"Since I can still use skills, it means that as long as my mental power is strong enough, my consciousness can still forcefully drive my body..."
Fighting back the surging sleepiness and boundless fatigue that came in his mind like a tide, Bai Zhi let out a little breath in his heart.
The next moment, a small jade disc fragment flew out quietly from his heart.
After flying in front of him and kissing his cheek, the piece of jade butterfly fell into his hand quite obediently.
-A few seconds later, Bai Zhi calmly sat up from the chair.
"Methods I haven't seen before... the likes of weird immortals?"
His eyes swept over the row of wooden houses behind him, and he frowned slightly.
In the room, the mountainside man Li also fell into the same state of stagnant consciousness as those outside. A light blue lotus grew from his heart, and a green light covered his whole body.
But in the corner of the room, a bundle that had been packed and thrown haphazardly on the ground was also glowing with golden light... These were the three Buddhist treasures that were abandoned by the mountainside man Li.
As for the situation of other people, it is similar to that of Mountainside Man Li.
"As long as you plant protective plants, you will definitely be safe."
However, after searching around, he didn't find Huan Yan's figure in the room, and he didn't know where he went.
He unconcernedly pulled out a platycodon that grew from his shoulder, and his figure quietly disappeared from the place, and then appeared in the swamp outside.
Not in a hurry to put away the [Demon Refining Pot], he raised his head and looked at the sky.
—High in the sky, a vague figure was nailed there.
By the way, I just discovered that the audio version of my book is out. If you are interested, you can check it outヾ(O?O?)ノ
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbable Probability: Chapter 1605 Chapter 679 We are all in the body of the weird fairy (4k)
As if she was drowning, Phalaenopsis struggled to wake up from that terrible dream.
The moment she woke up, her mind went blank.
After staring blankly at the ceiling above his head for a long time, Phalaenopsis finally regained consciousness.
It was also at this time that she realized that she had broken out in a cold sweat at some point, and her clothes were all wet with sweat. It was so wet that she felt quite uncomfortable.
"...Have a nightmare?"
Sitting up from the bed, holding her forehead with one hand, Phalaenopsis looked frightened.
—In her personal attribute column, her sanity value has dropped to a very dangerous level.
"Are you all awake? If you are, please come out. I have something to tell you."
Just when Phalaenopsis was trying hard to recall what happened before, a plain voice came from outside the house.
"hurry up."
"... black and white?"
With some doubts flashing through her heart, Phalaenopsis stood up from the bed. After quickly changing her clothes, she walked out of the door.
At this time, the moon is bright and clear, and the moonlight is like water.
In the courtyard under the moon, there is a figure in white drinking alone against the moon.
I don't know why, but when I saw the figure in the courtyard, Phalaenopsis felt an inexplicable suffocation in my heart.
