"Damn it, it's getting more and more. Could it be that the entire Huaishan Village has been controlled?" Chu Li cursed.
The four fought and retreated, and had to deviate from the original route.
"It's endless." Fang Tianyun once again set up a barrier to block it, gasping for breath.
Tang Xi caressed the bead string on her left wrist, quickly filling a seal with her fingertips.
At twelve noon, the weather should have been bright and sunny, but I don't know if it was because they went too deep into the forest, the luxuriant trees covered the sky, and even the light was dimmed.
"In your hand, is that a magic weapon?" Fang Tianyun glanced at it inadvertently, and asked in surprise.
Without the sunlight, the flickering flashes on the string of nourishing soul wooden beads are as eye-catching as a guiding light.
Tang Xi ignored her, put his right hand on the beads, gritted his teeth and said, "I can handle it!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Li asked.
"Infant spirits!" Tang Xi said in a deep voice, "We took care of those infant spirits easily last time, and I'm afraid it aroused the vigilance of the people behind the scenes."
"So what?" Chu Li was puzzled.
"Manipulating infant spirits, manipulating corpses, manipulating villagers—because he met his nemesis." Tang Xi sneered, "Anyone who manipulates and uses foreign objects to fight will encounter a problem. If you keep the mind of 'weapon', of course your strength will increase, but Once a weapon has consciousness, it is easy to turn back on its owner, they dare not, so they just erase the will of the weapon itself and use it as a dead thing."
"Mind control skills." Fang Tianchen affirmed, "Dead objects without consciousness have zero resistance to mind control."
"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded, "However, mind control is an extremely rare ability for both celestial masters and monsters. They probably are not sure if I am, so they use these villagers to test it out."
"Then what should I do? Do you want to respond?" Chu Li understood, and looked at her bracelet.
Tang Xi pursed her lips. If there were a lot of ghosts in front of her, she would be able to kill them all in one go, but it would be a bit tricky not to hurt the living—especially the weak, old, weak, and children among them. Only Yun Qi could solve it relatively gently. However, she always felt that the other party's purpose was not that simple.
"Hey, no matter what, think of a way, I can't stop it!" Fang Tianyun shouted.
On the premise of not being able to hurt people, her enchantment is the best move. The controlled villagers have no wisdom and will only rush towards them mechanically, even if they are blocked by the enchantment, they will go to the enchantment again and again I didn't know how to take a detour when I got into a collision.
"Miss Tang, these villagers have been controlled for a long time, even if they are rescued afterwards, there will be sequelae. If you have a way..." Fang Tianchen said solemnly.
"How to say?" Tang Xi went to see Chu Li.
"I know they have a plan, but... living is the most important thing." Chu Li replied.
"Understood." Tang Xi sighed, and with a wave of his hand, erased the seal.
In an instant, a strong resentment rushed out of the beads, forcing Chu Li and Fang's brothers and sisters around them to take several steps back.
Tang Xi knew that this time she was angry with Yun Qi, but the shadow in her heart was even heavier.
"After solving the matter here, let's see how I deal with you!" Yun Qi's voice was so cold that it could drop ice shards.
Tang Xi laughed dryly, and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back, let's deal with the present first."
Yun Qi appeared amidst the resentment, his face was more ugly than ever. In the past, Tang Xi couldn't restrain his actions, but Yanghunmu... Only this time did he deeply understand what Tang Xi meant by "Ghost Prison". Although the original intention was to protect, but... I still deserve a beating!
"A thousand-year-old ghost!" Fang Tianyun's face turned pale with fright, and her body was trembling.
Never dreamed that this student-like girl would have a thousand-year-old ghost beside her, or that one could actually see a thousand-year-old ghost in this world! Originally, she thought that these were all legends recorded in ancient books.
What Yun Qi took out was a guqin. This time, only one string floated up, but it was much more solid, and the single string was not melodious. But as he plucked it with his fingertips, wisps of black piano sound drifted out, turning into strings of ropes. , tied up those corpse-like villagers and fixed them in place.
After a quarter of an hour, the woods finally quieted down.
"It's over?" Fang Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously moving further away from Tang Xi.
"Captain Chu, I think, do you have a congenital defect here?" Tang Xi pointed to her head, wondering, "Every time your reaction makes me doubt life... As a normal person, you don't know how to be afraid." Was it all at once?"
"Didn't you say that ghosts can't approach me?" Chu Li asked back.
Yun Qi sneered, and the jade flute instantly poked his eyes.
Chu Li's eyes shrank, and he slid down almost like a conditioned reflex, turned around, and struck a hand knife—if he had chopped a living person, he would probably be lying on the ground at this moment, but the opponent was not a human being, and his hand knife directly penetrated the cloud. Xi's neck, it looks like a beheaded visual effect.
"Come on, you really can't beat him in close combat." Tang Xi stopped Yun Qi with a suppressed smile, and then explained to Chu Li, "My spiritual power can't guard against him, it's better for Team Chu to be careful."
Yun Qi snorted coldly, pinching the jade flute with his fingers, as if thinking about something.
Fang Tianyun on the other side was almost desperate, the chief of the serious case team was really not a normal person, he actually fought with a thousand-year-old ghost!
The strong resentment covered in her body had already made her almost breathless. How could an ordinary person not be affected
"Okay, Miss Tang, the most important thing is to get the villagers back to normal." Fang Tianchen interrupted.
"I can't." Tang Xi blinked and looked at him strangely, "I'm from the combat department, and I've never been good at healing."
Of course, if she has to be treated, she can use the most stupid method to force out the villagers' bodies bit by bit, but this way, one or two is fine, there are more than a hundred people here, even if she is exhausted It can't be saved.
"Then this..." Fang Tianchen looked at Yun Qi, a little confused about what to call him.
"He is controlling, not milking. Why do you think that ghosts can cure the living." Tang Xi was speechless.
"Brother, let me try it." Fang Tianyun finally calmed down a lot, collected herself, and went to a villager who was immobilized to check.
"How?" Chu Li stepped forward and asked.
"It's a little troublesome, but I should be able to do it." Fang Tianyun thought for a while and nodded.
"Then leave it to you, and Tang Xi and I will go up and have a look." Chu Li has become the one giving orders without knowing it.
"But..." Fang Tianchen hesitated a little.
"You don't worry about leaving your sister alone, do you?" Chu Li said.
Fang Tianchen was speechless.
"Let's go." Chu Li walked directly up the mountain.
Fang Tianyun was busy saving people and had no time to pay attention to him. Seeing this, Fang Tianchen could only acquiesce.
Tang Xi followed behind and couldn't help complaining: "After running all this way, you actually remember where to go?"
"My first task after graduating from the police academy was to be an undercover agent in an overseas drug trafficking gang. I even went through the forest of the Amazon. What is this place?" Chu Li sneered.
Although Tang Xi knew that this person could become the leader of the serious crime team at a young age, and he must have made great achievements, but he did not expect his experience to be so legendary.
Yun Qi didn't return to the Soul Cultivating Orb, and didn't even float up. Except for his outdated ancient costume, he looked like a living person.
"This matter, no matter what purpose they had before, I'm afraid it's all aimed at me now." Tang Xi said suddenly.
"Because of Yunqi?" Chu Li said.
"And me." Tang Xi sighed.
"You?" Chu Li gave her a puzzled look.
"These people have been lurking for many years, and their energy is not small. After suffering a big loss at my hands in the small park that day, it must not be difficult to find out my origin." Tang Xi said lightly, "The birth date of my body is also the same. The five elements lack water."
Chu Li was a little concerned about what she said about "my body", but now it was obviously not the time to care about the words, Su Rong said: "Do you think they set their target on you?"
"Looking for people with a special destiny can be used for several purposes. After finding so many and then giving up, it is probably not suitable." Tang Xi talked eloquently, "Although I don't know why it is not suitable, but I have plenty of spiritual power. If my body doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, not to mention catching me with a ghost with mind control skills, what a bargain."
"So, do you think this trap is waiting for you today?" Chu Li's voice also sank.
"Otherwise, after searching for a year, there is no news, and suddenly even the stronghold has been found out?" Tang Xi sneered.
"You don't believe your confession?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"I'm used to preparing for the worst." Tang Xi paused, and then said, "Of course, the possibility of a confession cannot be ruled out, but this does not prevent the people behind the scenes from planning."
"Perhaps, I shouldn't have involved you." Chu Li said after being silent for a while.
"After the last attack, there is no possibility of getting out." Tang Xi shook her head, "It's better to act together with the police, so as not to hurt innocent people. If this matter is not resolved, it will always be a hidden danger."
"Xiao Xi, I have found a stronghold. But I don't see anyone controlling the villagers." Su Huang's voice sounded while speaking.
"You run fast." Tang Xi cursed.
"Lead the way!" Chu Li lifted his spirits.
Following Su Huang's guidance, the two of them took a shortcut and walked through the woods. As expected, they saw a red brick house built halfway up the mountain.
"There is no one inside, depending on the situation, they are already prepared to give up here." Su Huang said.
"Don't touch things." Chu Li said, put on disposable gloves, and then opened the courtyard door.
Since Su Huang said no one was there, there was no need to hide it, Chu Li pulled out a steel wire and folded it, and pried open the door in less than half a minute.
A uniform layer of ash remained on the ground. Obviously, it had been away for at least three days.
"Then what?" Tang Xi pointed to the stack of papers on the table. This position was obviously reserved for people who came in to see it.
"Don't move around..." Chu Li reminded, and couldn't help being dumbfounded.
But Tang Xi put her hands in her trouser pockets to make sure that she would not leave her fingerprints on the scene, while Yun Qi generously picked up the document and opened it for her to read.
Well, ghosts don't leave fingerprints.
Chu Li twitched his eyes, swallowed the words in his mouth, and leaned over to watch together.
The document is a file, including a woman's entire experience from birth to death. Although it is only a photocopy, there are birth certificates, ID cards, household registration books, various academic certificates, certificates and even death certificates.
Chu Li immediately used his mobile phone to log into the police system to check on the woman named "Anna".
Although this name sounds like a mixed race, especially when she was born in the era of reform and opening up in China, few people would take such a foreign name. But in fact, if she didn't happen to have the surname An, if she just called out "Nana" on the street, countless women named Wu Na, Li Na, and Zhao Na would agree.
"It's true that she died, it was an accident." Chu Li read the information at a glance, and said simply, "On the New Year's Eve five years ago, she stayed in the company to work overtime until midnight, and the security guard on duty was sloppy and didn't confirm whether there was anyone in the building. She pulled the switch, unexpectedly locked her in the elevator that was halfway running. Her family called the police the next day, but because the adults involved were involved, the police did not immediately file a missing person case. When her body was found It was hard. He died of a sudden myocardial infarction."
"She didn't call in the locked elevator?" Tang Xi asked in surprise, "It's been a long time since there was no signal in the elevator."
"The phone is out of battery." Chu Li sighed, "Her colleague's phone was out of battery before she got off work, so she borrowed her phone to call home and chatted for a long time, and she worked overtime late, so the phone turned off automatically."
"It's really unlucky." Tang Xi was also helpless. How many coincidences did this happen to cause a tragedy
"So, what does it mean to let us look at such a file?" Chu Li said, "Although it is very unlucky, people die in various accidents every moment in this world, and there is nothing unusual about this Anna. .”
"Fart!" Suddenly, an exasperated male voice came from the room.
"Who!" Chu Li turned around, holding the gun and already firing the safety catch.
There was nothing behind, no one was there.
"No surprises? To me, to me, she is everything to me, the best and best person in the world!" The voice continued, and this time the two heard it, from the room on the left from here.
Chu Li rushed over without hesitation, didn't bother to unlock it, and kicked the door open with a heavy kick.
"It's really violent." Tang Xi was speechless.
Slowly followed, but this room that looked like a bedroom also didn't look like it could hide people.
Tang Xi looked around, relaxed, and patted Chu Li's arm: "If you're not here, just treat it as a... video call."
As she spoke, she pointed to the full-length mirror inlaid in the middle of the old-fashioned wardrobe.
The mirror surface was covered with a thin layer of resentment, reflecting a distorted figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
"It's you talking?" Chu Li pointed his gun at the mirror.
"Heh, what do you know?" Black Shadow's tone was full of bitterness and disdain, "Anna has nothing wrong with her, she is so kind and beautiful, but what about you? All kinds of thankless things that no one wants to do All the work is pushed to her, and no one wants to work overtime on New Year's Eve, so let her overtime, if I wasn't by her side at that time—how could she die! How could she die! It's you who deserve to die! It's you!"
"What did you do?" Chu Li keenly sensed the meaning of his words.
"What did I do? Hahahaha..." Heiying laughed maniacally, "The old hag who bullied her and told her to work overtime if she wouldn't refuse, the bitch who took advantage of phone bills and always used her mobile phone to make long-distance calls, the negligent The security guards who take life as a joke, the policemen who are procrastinating... Hahaha, I let them go down and make amends to Anna!"
Chu Li and Tang Xi looked at each other, their faces changed.
The person on the opposite side is a Taoist master. If he attacks ordinary people, it is really impossible to guard against. The police will only close the case as an accident. If he didn't say it today, no one would know that these people died of murder. After all, the commonality of these people is so obvious. If it is a murder, once the case is filed, it will definitely be merged. For a case as big as a serial murder case, the police system must have a serious record.
"Since you have finished your revenge, what are you still fussing about?" Tang Xi pulled La Chuli and asked calmly.
"If they are dead, can my Anna come back to life?" Heiying sneered, "Anna is so young, her life has just begun, she shouldn't be lying on the cold ground..."
"Presumptuous!" Tang Xi sternly said, "The resurrection of the dead is a taboo among Taoist taboos, disrupting the cycle of life and death, can you afford the price!"
"As long as she comes back alive, I can pay any price!" Soi Ying showed no sign of weakness.
"Crazy." Tang Xi shook her head.
"Resurrection, can it really be done?" Chu Li asked, "If I understand correctly, he is trying to resurrect Anna by arresting those women with specific fates, right?"
"If the dead could be resurrected, I would have resurrected Yun Qi back then." Tang Xi replied coldly.
"..." Chu Li froze for a moment, speechless.
This is really... an irrefutable answer.
Suddenly, Yun Qi, who had been silent all this time, moved, a white shadow flashed, and he stretched out his hand to grab the mirror.
"Don't!" Tang Xi was startled and grabbed his wrist.
"This mirror is the guide, and you can find him through it," Yun Qi said.
"Of course I know!" Tang Xi said angrily, "You can pass through, what about me? Ah? I'm a living person!"
Looking at her, Yun Qi didn't seem to think this was a problem.
"Come on, come here if you have the ability, I'll wait for you here hahahahaha!" There was a burst of wild laughter from the mirror.
"Boring provocative method." Tang Xi grabbed Yun Qi tightly with one hand, raised his other hand, and turned his spiritual power into a sharp sword, smashing the mirror to pieces with a bang.
The black shadow shattered with the shattered lens, the resentment flickered and then gradually disappeared, and the room became quiet.
"You..." Chu Li supported his forehead.
"Sorry." Tang Xi glanced at him, but there was no apology in his tone.
"I understand." Chu Li nodded.
"You think I'll lose to a human?" Yun Qi frowned.
"If you were in your heyday, I don't mind you rushing over to solve everything. No matter what kind of trap, when the force is strong enough, it will be enough to crush it directly." Tang Xi looked at him seriously, and said in a deep voice , "Yun Qi, I know you want to get rid of the disaster for me, but I'm not that weak, and you... are not the ghost king who crushes Xuanmen."
Yun Qi was silent, and suddenly "tsk", turned into a stream of light and returned to the Soul Cultivation Bead.
Tang Xi lightened her hand, pulled it away, couldn't help but flatten her mouth, and muttered: "Damn Tsundere!"
"Forget it, let's go back today, I don't know what happened to those villagers." Chu Li turned and walked out, took the files on the table, and said, "It's not like I didn't gain anything. The woman started to investigate, her relatives and friends, plus the few murders that the bastard himself admitted, there are already a lot of clues left, and there is still work to do."
"Be careful, this person should not be the one who controls the villagers, the distance is too far away." Tang Xi reminded, "He still has accomplices, and he capsized in the gutter after being killed by his carbine."
"Xiaoxi, although I didn't find anyone, I still have some clues." Su Huang floated over and said in a low voice, "Following the trail of resentment, I found the disconnected place, but I didn't see anyone. It smells very lightly of perfume."
"Woman?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up.
"The fragrance is very good, and it can last for such a long time, so it's not cheap." Su Huang affirmed, "It's a very distinctive fragrance. If I smell that smell again, I will definitely recognize it."
"I see." Tang Xi wrote it down and asked her to return to the bracelet.
With the human compass Chu Li leading the way, the two quickly returned to the place where they were separated from the Fang brothers and sisters.
I saw the villagers lying all over the ground in the forest, and Fang Tianyun was sitting under a big tree, not sure if she passed out or fell asleep. Seeing them coming back, Fang Tianchen, who was guarding the side, tensed up all over at first, and then relaxed: "Don't worry, it's all right, Ah Yun has consumed too much spiritual and physical energy, and is overdrawn."
Tang Xi looked at Fang Tianyun's tired face and sweat-soaked hair, and her heart was slightly moved.
In fact... she is also a pretty girl, especially now, although she is described as a mess, she is more beautiful than ever.
"What should these villagers do?" Fang Tianchen rubbed the center of his brows, "Ah Yun said, they won't have the memory of being controlled when they wake up, but whoever wakes up finds that the whole village is lying on the bed more than ten miles away from the village. In the mountains, something big will happen."
"It's easy." Tang Xi snapped his fingers and called out Yun Qi.
Yun Qi played a flute with a dark face.
The villagers stood up unsteadily one by one, like puppets, and walked slowly towards the back mountain in twos and threes.
"No problem?" Fang Tianchen subconsciously said.
"There are still instincts in the body, and they will take them home, like an old horse knowing the way." Tang Xidao, "However, if it has been deeply controlled, even if it is lifted, it will not wake up until tomorrow. Waking up from your own bed is not a big problem Right? As for the loss of one day's memory... I really can't deal with this."
"It's okay." Fang Tianyun's weak voice sounded, "I made up a day's memory for them, they are all ordinary people, and they won't notice anything wrong."
"Really? It seems that our cooperation is quite good." Tang Xi laughed.
Fang Tianyun reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, looking at Yun Qi still with fear.
In fact, it's not surprising that she reacted so strongly. Chu Li is an ordinary person, and Fang Tianchen is a supernatural being. As long as she overcomes the fear of thousand-year-old ghosts psychologically, there will be no problem. But she is a celestial master, and she can feel it more deeply than anyone else. The terrifying power of Yunqi.
Fang Tianchen carried his sister on his back and said, "I'll sort out the case when I go back, and I have to let Hen check over here."
Chu Li looked at the file in his hand, responded, then turned around and said, "Tang Xi, can you track down that bastard's whereabouts?"
Tang Xi stretched out her hand, threw and caught a shiny object, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What do you think?"
Chu Li could see clearly that it was a fragment of a mirror, and immediately gave her a thumbs up.
"Give me two days." Tang Xi said.
