On Wei Zhi's side, after the interrogation, Wei Zhi called his friend from the apartment phone. This friend lives on the seventeenth floor of the apartment. Using the short number function that every household in the apartment has, he can easily contact every resident in the apartment. It can be said that there is no gap between neighbors.
However, being able to find someone directly through the apartment's short number proves that Wei Zhi's closeness with his friend is absolutely extraordinary.
About three minutes after the call was made, a burly man who was wrapped very tightly came upstairs with sunglasses on his face. Although he was dressed a little strangely, he was very powerful.
After the man entered the door, he glanced at the men in black who were tied up. A rough voice came through the man's mask: "Are these people?"
"Yeah, sorry to trouble you." Wei Zhi smiled.
Then, the burly man tied the five people into a pile with a tacit understanding and dragged them away with a rope...
Loopy Toad; "This is?"
Wei Zhi said: "Xiao Gang."
Loopy Toad: “…”
Wei Zhi: "I have a good buddy, the retired captain of the criminal police brigade, and I still have contact with the old department. It will definitely be no problem to leave these men to him."
Loopy Ha: "Do you have a sister named Xiaoxia?"
Wei Zhi was shocked: "How do you know?"
Loopy Toad: “…”
…
…
In a small urban area on the edge of Songhai City, this is a small town that is almost ignored by people.
The base of the Demon Hunting Guild is established here.
When Wei Zhi brought Loopy Ha here, the faint smell of blood permeating the air made everyone and the dog frown. In order not to expose Loopy Ha, Wei Zhi put on a large travel bag for Loopy Ha to hide in. Even though he was hiding in the leather-smelling bag, Loopy Ha could smell the fishy smell in the air - this It's the blood of a spiritual beast, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
This is just a small city, but it has obviously been fully utilized by the Demon Hunters, turning it into a true spiritual beast slaughterhouse.
The plan he discussed with Loopy Ha was to first find a way to sneak in to find out the details, and then find an opportunity to kill this group of people in one go!
Wei Zhi walked through the street with a big bag on his back. From the outside, the whole street looked very clean and did not reveal any heresy.
However, the smell in the air cannot be concealed. Ordinary monks may not be able to smell it, but for a professional pet trainer like Wei Zhi, who is particularly keen on scent capture, the smell is too exciting.
Wei Zhi casually walked to a store that sold steamed buns, but Wei Zhi knew something was wrong from the smell of the meat in the steamed buns.
The shop owner is a fat man weighing three hundred pounds. When he moves his body, the ground seems to be shaking.
"This ugly brother, do you want to eat steamed buns?" The boss opened the steamer and looked at Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi pretended to be calm and exhaled, saying only three words: "I have the goods."
The boss glanced at Wei Zhi: "The king of heaven and the tiger of earth!"
"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!" Wei Zhi replied quickly.
The boss said again: "The crispy roast duck is good!"
Wei Zhi: "Sweet and sour pork loin!"
Loopy Toad: “…”
This is a series of secret codes of the Demon Hunting Society, which Wei Zhi specifically asked during the previous interrogation.
After meeting the code, the fat boss turned off the steamer, looked at him with a smile, and made an invitation gesture to the side: "Brother, please come inside."
Following the lead of the bun shop owner, Wei Zhi felt that the smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and stronger.
Through the secret passage of this bun shop, Wei Zhi came to a hidden back street. The scene in front of him was shocking.
This is the true face of this town.
The walls on both sides of the back street were piled high. There were only some pet sellers hawking along both sides of the street. The whole street was full of fishy smell. Wei Zhi could see many cages made of dark iron placed on the ground, and all kinds of spiritual beasts were kept in them. Cats, dogs, foxes... most of these spiritual beasts were kidnapped by people from the Demon Hunting Association.
Some spirit beasts even have collars with the names of their owners engraved on them.
Some of the spirit beasts imprisoned in the iron cages were covered in bruises and were already dying, lying in the cages breathing hard.
When the shop owner saw Wei Zhi's expression, he smiled unsurprisingly: "Looking at it, the little brother must have just joined the club not long ago, no wonder. Most of the newcomers don't vomit every time they pass by this street. Even if it’s a miracle.”
"Have you seen these seriously injured little guys?" The shop owner pointed to the injured spiritual beasts in cages on the roadside: "These guys were injured because they refused to sever the contract."
Wei Zhi didn't speak, just listened to the shop owner continue talking.
"Although there is a barrier here, because I am worried that the owner of the spirit beast will find this place, the contract relationship with the spirit beast will be canceled when it is sent here." The shop owner chuckled: "But considering the extremely high loyalty of some spirit beasts, If you don’t want to cancel the contract, then you can only cancel it by force.”
"That's why...were they seriously injured?" Wei Zhi tried hard to make his voice less shaky.
"Normally, only spiritual beasts that are in a dying state can be easily involved in the contractual relationship by a third party." The shop owner said very calmly: "Those with pure blood will spend money to heal them. As for the low-grade ones..."
Having said this, the boss pointed back to the location of the previous bun shop: "They were all sent to my shop."
As he spoke, the owner of the steamed bun shop had already introduced Wei Zhi into the depths of the back street.
Wei Zhi discovered that the spirit beasts captured here were divided into areas according to grade. The grade of the spirit beasts at the street entrance was actually not high. As he went deeper, Wei Zhi seemed to find many spirit beasts with national protection levels.
These spirit beasts were placed in exquisite cages, with dull eyes, as if they had been fed something like "obedience potion", and they obeyed the seller's requirements.
Finally, the boss stopped in front of a wooden house: "New brother, I led you here. There is the person you want to find in this house."
Wei Zhi nodded and walked directly in with a big bag on his back. There were not many people in the wooden house, but they all had the marks of the Demon Hunting Guild. Judging from their aura, these people should be some of the core members of the Demon Hunting Guild.
This wooden house is not a formal trading place, but a tea room, which is probably used exclusively for business discussions.
After looking around for a while, a man who looked to be in his fifties asked Wei Zhi, "Brother, are you here to buy or sell?"
The man was wearing a black apron and had a cigarette in each ear. He looked like a butcher.
"I want to sell a spirit dog." Wei Zhi squinted his eyes, found a seat and sat down, then put the large travel bag behind him on his lap.
This group of people have a very keen sense of smell. From the moment Wei Zhi entered the door, his eyes have been staring at the travel bag.
"Oh? What kind?"
"Akita."
Wei Zhi opened the travel bag, and then directly lifted Loopy Ha by his fat face - it felt great!
"Akita?"
This group of people were stunned after hearing this, because they all knew that Akita did not belong to the ranks of spiritual dogs.
After a moment, the uncle who looked like a butcher spoke again, his eyes fixed on Loopy Toad: "Is this... a hybrid?"
Wei Zhi: “…”
Loopy Toad: "You! Look! What!"
The uncle was horrified: "Still only from Dongbei!?"
Loopy Toad: “…”
