file room.
"Hoo..."
Xu Changqing let out a long breath and put down a file.
Between the lines, he seemed to smell the smell of blood.
Although I have known the weirdness and horror of demons and ghosts from the Sutra Pavilion of Shimen for a long time, how can I compare with these personal experiences
Through the passage, he learned about various incidents of demons and demons, as well as some terrifying killing methods of ghosts.
'In such an environment, it is very bad for the human body...'
Xu Changqing glanced at the little official beside him, and saw that his eyes were swollen and bloodshot, as if he hadn't rested for a long time, and said, "Go down first, and I'll take a look later."
"Here." The little official bowed and retreated.
Xu Changqing put his hands on the two files.
The first is the 'Zhouquan Disappearance Case'!
But in this world of demons and ghosts, there are too many such missing persons. As long as there is no large-scale outbreak, it is difficult to trace the clues. Therefore, there are only a few investigation reports and the words 'to be resolved'.
"Oh? It seems that Zhou Quan really didn't tell the cronies around him?"
The corner of Xu Changqing's mouth twitched into a smile: "Or...his cronies don't dare to tell the truth, otherwise driving demons to attack the village is enough to kill him... he is a smart man, I like it..."
Rubbing his fingers, he picked up another file, his expression became solemn:
"Number Thirty-six of the Eighth Century—Xiangrui Three Years, Xia, received a report from Xiaozhai and other villages, and investigated the disappearance of the girl... It was confirmed that it was used by the 'Shuangxuan Zhenren' to practice... Will not be held accountable... Remarks: Matters related to Shuangxuan Zhenren are hidden in Secret volume in the underground chamber."
This is a file written by Zhou Quan, and it is about the investigation of the girl in Xiaozhai Village that day.
"Master Shuangxuan, don't you pursue it?"
Xu Changqing snorted coldly, his knuckles turned white.
There are also secret files in the file room, which are divided into four categories: Heaven, Earth, Xuan and Huang. The Zhenyao school lieutenant can read all files at the "sky" level and below, the deputy lieutenant can read the "earth" file, and the patrol inspector can read the "mysterious" file and below. , As for ordinary public servants, there is only public information at the 'yellow' level.
Xu Changqing stood up and came to the door marked with the word 'land'.
This is a dossier that even small officials could not take out before, and it can only be viewed internally.
He pressed the door, feeling a restraining force, and his palm trembled slightly.
It seemed that some monster was buried inside, constantly impacting on the door.
Xu Changqing thought for a while, and took out the waist card. At this time, the waist card was shining with brilliance, shining on the door, and the resistance suddenly became smaller.
He walked into the secret room, looked at the scrolls displayed on the wooden shelf, and felt something: "Some things... are sealed for the benefit of ordinary people. I am afraid that if you read too many scrolls here, you will go crazy right away?"
Xu Changqing searched, got a scroll, and unfolded it.
The first thing that came into view was a cyan tentacle monster. It was huge, with tentacles like snakes, and eyes and mouthparts seemed to grow on the top.
The person who described it was vivid, and vividly described the evil and distortion of the monster.
"It's really not something that ordinary people can see."
Xu Changqing looked at the text at the back: "In the second year of Xiangrui, the 'son of Xiangliu' appeared in Lingzhou, and the imperial court ordered real people such as Shuangxuan and Linfeng to track him down... The demon priests in various prefectures and towns cooperated and issued orders to the deputy lieutenants. "
"Remarks: The information of the demon god 'Xiangliu' is a 'heaven-level' secret, and can only be read by the school captain and above of the Qipin Town Demon."
"Xiangliu?"
In his mind, there was the voice of Sulu complaining.
"Grandpa...do you know this monster?" Xu Changqing thought it was reasonable, after all, grandpa was also very mysterious.
"I've only heard a rumor that Xiangliu has a snake body with nine heads and cannibals countless people. Wherever he goes, he becomes the country of Ze... It doesn't seem to be like this... the son of Xiangliu..."
Sulu couldn't complain anymore, you tell me that is Xiangliu's son? It's clearly a tentacle monster, okay
But when I thought about it for no reason, it actually matched the style of the abyss.
'And... wherever you go, you will become the country of Ze? Water monsters, tentacles... Could it be that I, Li Gui, finally met Li Kui? '
'And in the myths and legends, there are some similar monsters, such as Jiuying, Jiufeng... They are also full of evil god style, tsk tsk... I can't bear to look directly at them. '
…
Xu Changqing didn't care about all this, but closed the file, closed his eyes and muttered: "Understood, everything is understood."
"The son of Xiangliu is an extremely powerful 'weird'. The imperial court ordered the immortals to investigate... They came to the vicinity of Qingyang City in Heize Prefecture, found the monster, and fought against it... Daoist Shuangxuan was defeated and seriously injured. Near Xiaozhai Village, he was forced to perform an autopsy there to heal his wounds..."
"This is the source of the disaster in the village!"
In this world, being weak is the original sin!
The healing of a big man almost destroyed several nearby villages!
Just like a person accidentally trampled to death an ant, he didn't care.
"Knowing the enemy, are you determined to take revenge?"
Sulu asked.
"Damn Shuangxuan, and Xiangliu's son!"
Xu Changqing clenched his fists: "Even if I am like dust to them today, one day, I will personally recover the blood debt of Xiaozhai Village from them!"
"Until your cultivation base has not reached a great level, it's best not to think about it."
Sulu reminded.
"I understand the severity, and I won't let it become my demon."
Xu Changqing replied calmly.
…
At this moment, Pan Shu's eager voice sounded outside: "Brother Xu, something is wrong!"
"Um?"
Xu Changqing walked out of the manuscript room, and saw Pan Shu with a worried face: "What's going on?"
"I just received Master Jiang's emergency call... That case of the resentful soul is probably extremely dangerous!"
Pan Shu's face was extremely ugly and authentic.
Resentful souls belong to the 'ghost' level among demons and ghosts. Most of them are evil spirits and the like, who are good at killing people in various strange ways.
Some are similar to the cursed spirits of the main world, but they are weaker and do not have the characteristics of immortality.
But even so, because of its mysterious ability, no matter how strong a person is, it is possible to fall accidentally.
'It seems... I have to act immediately? '
Xu Changqing's expression became dignified: "How many people are there in the Town Demon Division?"
"You and I are the deputy lieutenant. There are four other inspectors, and the other government servants... will die if they go."
Pan Shu replied with an ugly face.
"Then I'll prepare and set off immediately. Where is the case file?"
Xu Changqing asked quickly.
According to the teachings of the old man, if you want to survive all kinds of ghost cases, analyzing the clues and finding the rules are the most important!
"Right here, we talk as we go."
Pan Shu stuffed a bright red dossier into Xu Changqing's hand: "It's just... this resentful soul is powerful, if we fail to rescue it in time, and the chief officer dies, he will be punished..."
'According to what he said, it seems that he doesn't really want to go after being punished...resentful soul? Stone is a good hand against it. '
Xu Changqing took the file, thoughtful.
