Chapter 634 If you know me, tell the truth (two in one)
If Lingling changes her career to acting, it would be a waste of talent if she doesn't win the title of World Film Queen.
It didn't take her more than a few minutes to sneak into the team with her cute and innocent appearance.
It was late, and after being scared, everyone lost interest in listening to the story and went back to their rooms to sleep.
"Did you feel anything?" Lingling asked.
Xu Fang shook his head: "They are all ordinary emotions, no soul trauma and no outflow."
Ordinary ghost stories, even if the atmosphere is right and the story is a little scary, can never scare a person to death.
"These people are going to Dou Ziran Town tomorrow to find out the cause of death and get a bounty." Lingling complained: "They are just beginner mages, where do they get such courage?"
"Young people, I can understand." Xu Fang said: "At least it won't be easy for us to be exposed if we follow them, right?"
It is definitely not something that ordinary criminals can do to be related to the soul.
If it were only Xu Fang and Lingling, most people would notice it before they found each other.
Following this group of young people is different. The rookie learns to hunt mages and go on adventures to earn bonuses. Although it is a bit stupid, it can be explained.
The next day.
Everyone took a chartered bus to Dou Ziran Town.
Liu Zhi, the man who peed his pants, took out a selfie stick and turned on the live broadcast:
"Brothers, we have come to the nest of the cat-faced old lady! Look at the scenery around here!"
"Scared? Scared of nothing! Before there were demons, Brother Zhi had to avoid them. Now the demons have been slaughtered by my male god, and Brother Zhi is the most awesome guy!"
"Family, if you want the same peach wood evil-suppressing pendant as Brother Zhi, please look at the window!"
It sounds like it, but unfortunately there are not many viewers.
Everyone decided to start with the latest case and sat on a small electric donkey to a small village called Fengshou Village.
Fengshou Village is well named. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the village. It is simply irrelevant.
The village is surrounded by weeds as tall as adults, and there are crooked trees that look like monsters. There are not many grains of real food.
Most of the people living here are left-behind elderly people, who are decaying with the village.
A group of young men and girls arrived, instantly lowering the average age of the entire village. The old people staggered and took out the dusty stools to talk.
"We are here to explore, explore the Internet!" Liu Zhi got close to an old man and shouted: "I heard that there is a cat-faced old lady killing people here, I want to ask!"
The old man nodded: "Internet, I have heard of it, how many fans do you have?"
"Thirty!"
The old man laughed.
Liu Zhi was a little embarrassed by his laughter, and defended himself: "When the cat-faced old lady is caught, I will have more fans!"
Fortunately, the other old people were not so annoying, and enthusiastically shared the news they knew.
"Yes! There is this!"
"It was Widow Tian who died, as well as her son and daughter-in-law. How pitiful."
"I heard that a cat jumped out of the corpse. It was very scary!"
"If you ask me, this was done by Widow Tian herself. I went to her house to borrow some salt before, and I saw that she was worshipping a monster with a weird head."
"Maybe she is the cat-faced old lady, and her son and daughter-in-law might have been eaten by her herself!"
The opinions vary, but one thing is certain, that is, the "cat-faced old lady" did have human lives on her hands, and the breakthrough point was Widow Tian!
"Hehe, I, Liu Zhi, never believe in ghosts and gods. Even if they come, I can shoot them to death with my buddy's glory!" Liu Zhi said.
When they heard that this group of young people wanted to catch monsters, the old men and women in the village supported them with both hands.
The old arms and legs could not lift, so they took out the boiled eggs and mooncakes wrapped in oil paper at home for who knows how long to entertain them.
"I finally understand what fish and water are like."
Liu Zhi took a bite of the egg and sighed: "No wonder my idol always talks about protecting the people. It turns out that protecting the people without expecting anything in return feels like this. I was really shallow before."
"Who is your idol?" Lingling asked.
"Xu Fang." Liu Zhi said: "I am his loyal fan! I spent all the money my family gave me to buy a demon-slaying tool. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because the effect of the demon-slaying tool is very similar to the holy formula·Demon Sword used by my idol!"
"···Ah?"
Lingling glanced at Xu Fang. This guy is really a fanboy all over the world.
Liu Zhi sighed: "Before, I felt that my idol was good in every way, but his brain was too stubborn. Why did he join the army to restrict himself? Wouldn't it be better to create a force of his own?
Now I understand, it's character! Noble character cannot be measured by vulgar money and resources. This is an insult to noble character!"
Xu Fang, who was standing aside, got goose bumps on his arms when he heard it.
To be honest, only part of what Liu Zhi said is right. Another reason is because of the power of faith and the huge resources that can be called upon at any time, which is not something that outsiders should know.
After dinner, we set off.
The search was not smooth. Changbai Mountain, which was cleaned up by Xu Fang, not only had no demons, but also few living things except humans.
The people wandered around for a whole day without any gains, so they had to return to the village listlessly.
What they didn't expect was that there were actually colleagues in the small village!
"It's the stubborn second cousin!" Liu Zhi exclaimed.
"Is he famous?"
"Of course! The second cousin has more than three million fans online, which is more than me!"
Liu Zhi said: "He once said that there is no one who is better than him as an adventure anchor, and no one who is better has more fans than him. But since my idol Xu Fang started broadcasting once, he has not mentioned it again."
The equipment of the stubborn second cousin is obviously excellent. He doesn't need a selfie stick at all. It comes with a floating commercial version of worker bee.
The old man who laughed at Liu Zhi for having few fans during the day is now chatting and laughing with the second cousin, and occasionally showing his few remaining teeth and laughing.
"Fuck! Is it so realistic?" Liu Zhi said speechlessly.
The stubborn second cousin also came to find the cat-faced old lady. During the meal, Liu Zhi shamelessly wanted to get some popularity, but was directly rejected by her.
He wanted to cooperate in the adventure, but she looked down on his pitiful beginner level cultivation——It's okay to be beginner level, but it's still light system, which is useless.
The other people in the team were busy all day and got nothing, and they wanted to back out.
And Xu Fang received a call.
"Caught?"
"Okay, I'll go check it out."
After hanging up the phone, Lingling asked beside him, "What happened?"
"The Magic Association said they caught the murderer, and it's from the Black Court." Xu Fang said.
······
Magic Association.
In the cold morgue, there was a long white bed, and the body was placed on it, covered with a pale white cloth.
Before getting close, a fishy smell came to my face.
This smell was very familiar, it was the smell of the black beast.
Xu Fang lifted the white cloth, and the first thing that appeared was the eyes that were wide open, the eyeballs bulged out like goldfish, and were frozen on the face, which looked particularly terrifying.
Xu Fang and Lingling's expressions did not change. Looking down from the face, they saw the open chest and the empty belly.
"The deceased was a local. She ran away in anger because of a conflict with her husband's family and was killed by a black beast in the ravine."
The president of the magic association next to him said angrily: "It seems that the previous cases were all the same method. The beasts in the black court should all be killed!"
Lingling said: "But I saw that there was no record of strong odor in the previous body report."
The fishy smell like dead fish and rotten shrimp is almost synonymous with black beasts.
Once such a odor appears, the magic association will not ignore it, let alone classify it as a general case.
"Well, maybe the smell dissipated over a long period of time, or the weather was too hot and the decay was too fast, so the investigators didn't pay much attention to it?" said the president.
Xu Fang stretched out his hand and sensed it: "Her soul was also traumatized."
"Maybe she was scared by the black beast." The president interrupted.
"No, direct shock cannot cause such a result." Xu Fang shook his head.
This point was confirmed when he told the ghost story that day.
"The black beast is an irrational beast, and it can't reach the soul level at all." Xu Fang looked at the president: "I want to see the murderer."
"Of course, please come this way."
Another room.
Ma San was handcuffed to the seat, and there were sharp spikes between the silver bracelet and his hand, emitting a piercing chill that made him unable to mobilize magic.
Although it is said that humanity is important now, it is aimed at people. Things like Hei Ting who are not human are not in this category at all.
Squeak~~~~
The door opened.
"Xu Junsi, it's him! He refuses to say anything now!" said the president.
"Have you asked a psychic mage to search your soul?"
"Xu Junsi, you are joking. How can we afford a psychic mage in our small place... But thanks to you, when the awakening stone mine starts mining, good days for the brothers will come."
Who is it?
Ma San was confused, and barely opened his swollen eyes a crack, and saw three people sitting opposite him.
The one on the right is a middle-aged man, wearing the uniform of the Magic Association. Judging from the badge, he seems to be the president, but in this poor and remote place, even if he is the president, he is at best a mid-level wizard.
As for the other two, one is a young girl full of youth.
Ma San's throat was dry after seeing it, and he had a strong desire to taste it, but unfortunately this damn ice magic locked him and he couldn't move.
The last person... Shit!
Ma San sat up suddenly, but was forcibly pulled back by the magic, and he grimaced in pain.
"Do you know me?" Xu Fang said.
"Xu Fang! You are Xu Fang, you, you..."
Ma San had heard this name more than once in the Black Court and had seen this person's photo.
Almost all members of the Black Court knew that as long as Xu Fang was killed, they would not have to worry about their next life.
When he really faced him, Ma San finally understood why he was so valuable.
He was just sitting casually, and his face was not as fierce as the middle-aged man next to him, but he felt like he was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the courage to say anything harsh.
"If you know it was me, just tell me honestly." Xu Fang said calmly, tapping the table with his fingers: "Did you kill the person? How many other people did you kill? Did you commit the previous case?"
"I don't know! I didn't do anything!" Ma San said angrily.
"You are still stubborn when you are about to die! Do you still want to deny such an obvious fatal injury to the black beast?" The president slammed the table angrily.
"I said I don't know!" Ma San roared unwillingly.
The voice was so loud that it sounded like a child who was wronged.
The president opposite was obviously calm and stopped talking. Masan felt proud for no reason, and his body felt as light as if he was in a dream.
"What's your name?"
The voice echoed in my head.
Ma San subconsciously said: "My name is Ma Changfu."
"What is your position in the Black Court?"
"Black."
"How many black beasts do you have?"
"One."
"Why did you kill this woman?"
Masan was obviously excited, and his body was shaking slightly: "I, I didn't kill, this woman was already dead when I came here!"
"Why did you come here?"
"It's Hei Da! Hei Da came to this place like crazy. I chased him to give him a good look, but I didn't expect to be caught."
"Who is Heida?"
"It's me, and it's my black beast."
"What is big?"
"That's dad."
In the interrogation room, the president was dumbfounded. Ma San's eyes across from him were dull, and his black pupils could hardly be seen.
Xu Fang tapped his fingers on the table carelessly and asked casually. The other party poured out everything he knew like beans.
He was very curious, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of affecting Xu Fang's operation.
Xu Fang glanced at him and stopped tapping. Masan's head immediately fell forward and fell into a baby-like sleep.
"Speak."
The president finally took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Xu Junsi, what did you just say..."
"Hypnosis is just a little trick." Xu Fang said: "Now we can confirm that the murderer is not this Masan. He and his black beast are both scapegoats who were attracted. The so-called 'cat-faced old lady' has other people."
"The damn murderer is so cunning!"
The president said bitterly: "We have all announced the arrests and brought them to justice, but we were actually fooled!"
"At least we have a research direction." Xu Fang comforted: "Now go to the crime scene to find the trigger that induced the black beast, and use it as a clue to continue the investigation."
"That's all it can do."
The president sighed, pushed away the people and shouted: "Xiao Sun! Xiao Sun! Withdraw the announcement from the cat-faced old lady...Xiao Sun, why are you so distracted?"
"Will, President?"
Xiao Sun's voice trembled.
"What's the matter? What's all the fuss about?" The president felt very embarrassed.
"Our website has been compromised, and the cat-faced old lady appears again!"
"What!?"
······
[The cat-faced old lady appears again, and the scary legend may become a reality! 】
【shock! The cat-faced old lady may be part of a gang, and it is rumored that it has spread across the three eastern provinces! 】
[The Magic Association’s statement has become a joke, the real culprit is still hiding in the dark! 】
"These unscrupulous media!" The president slammed the table, his teeth itching with hatred.
Usually my association does some good things. When I go to school to preach, make donations, and exterminate monsters, I don't see these guys farting. Now when something goes wrong, they fly over like a swarm of flies!
"President, the media is pretty good."
Xiao Sun cried sadly: "Look at the short video platform, it's crazy. The person who died was a big internet celebrity with millions of fans!"
The president's vision went dark and he fell down on his chair.
Spicy pills!
The whole pill is spicy!
He originally hoped that by taking advantage of the spring breeze of the Changbai Mountain mines, his career would be rejuvenated and skyrocketed, but he didn't expect that reality would play such a big joke on him.
The nature was so bad and the impact was so great, he could already think of his bleak future.
Xu Fang and Lingling were also watching the Internet.
They had seen the deceased before. It was the "Second Cousin with a Strong Head" who had just gone to the village before coming here. Although the body was covered with a thick mosaic, his misery could still be seen.
The murderer seemed to be provoking, and seemed to be enjoying the feeling of "being in the spotlight". Maybe he was hiding behind a certain mobile phone, quietly admiring the art he created.
"Is such a huge emotional power enough to generate the evil power of belief?" Lingling asked.
"Enough, but not much." Xu Fang said: "Because many people's emotions are directed at the Magic Association, which is different from the pure fear of Sa Lang and Leng Jue."
"In other words, he will still commit crimes."
The president on the side was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth are you two talking about?"
"Don't worry about what it is. Just cooperate with us. When the case is solved, I will announce to the public that the two of us solved it together." Xu Fang said.
The president's eyes were filled with hope.
Xu Fang and I work together to solve the case?
Then we still have to take off?
Can the previous mistake still be called a mistake? That was clearly part of the plan!
"Okay, I will definitely cooperate! I will definitely cooperate!" Lingling explained the details to him, and Xu Fang dialed a number in the direction of the imperial capital.
Soon, the Magic Association removed the statement from its official website and closed the comment area.
The entire association didn't even respond, allowing netizens to question and scold him, just like a bastard with a shrinking head.
The scolding on the Internet became even fiercer, and people living around were frightened, and for a while fewer people even went out.
