After I was reborn, I became the most ruthless cub in the whole continent

Chapter 214 The Demon
Before dawn, a passer-by carrying a load of tofu nao and tofu peddlers stepped on the slippery side of the road and fell to the ground, cursing who was so wicked for splashing water on the road, and the hand that was on the ground when he fell The sticky feeling to the touch is clearly not water.

Not water?what is that?
Regardless of getting up first, the peddler saw the dark red blood on his hand through the misty moonlight, and the rusty smell of blood also poured into his nose.

At this time, his eyes also became particularly good, and he saw the half-open door on the side of the street and the people lying on the ground all at once.

The blood under his feet flowed all the way from the door.

"Ah!!! Dead--" This time, even the guy who supported his family didn't care about anything, and he got up scrambling, and the screaming voice that was usually loud was particularly obvious in this silent night.

For a while, lights were lit in the courtyards of several nearby streets.

When the officials from the county government arrived, the courtyard where the accident happened was already surrounded by people holding torches and lanterns.

"How could this be...too miserable..."

"Team leader, the deceased this time—" Many yamen servants in the county government live in the vicinity, and a small yamen servant who lives close by has red eyes and reports to Zheng Bantou, who hastily rushed from home after getting the news. In a word, tears fell like beads of a broken thread.

At this time, Bantou Zheng, who had always taught his men not to shed tears easily, could not say such words.

It’s still early today, because he thought that there must be some clues in the place where the deceased was found before, so he had to go there again. Brother Lin was afraid that he would be in danger if he went alone, so he came back late—if he hadn’t insisted on To search for clues, Brother Lin will not...

Judging from the traces at the scene, the demon followed Lin Yu when Lin Yu returned home and killed him at the door of the house. The sister-in-law may have been waiting for Lin Yu to come back for a long time, and she was killed when she opened the door.

Zheng Bantou wiped his eyes fiercely, and his red eyes made people restrain the bones for Lin Yu and his wife.

Originally, it was up to Wu to do an autopsy to determine the cause of death. They have seen too many dead people whose hearts were gutted out, and Ban Zheng could tell at a glance that it was the same monster.

Can manpower really be unable to resist the unscrupulous killing of monsters?

Just about to send the body to Yizhuang, the former small yamen servant looked at Zheng Bantou and hesitated to speak.

"what's up?"

"Boss, there is a child in the yard..." The little yamen servant hid aside and cried just now, his eyes and nose were red, and he spoke in a nasal voice.

child?
Zheng Bantou frowned, his face became extremely ugly, and he strode into the yard. There was a little girl about five or six years old sitting in the yard. She just looked at him with a pair of black and white eyes, and there was not much emotional change in her eyes. Not afraid.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? What is your relationship with this owner? Where were you when the crime happened? Did you see anything?" He asked a bunch of questions. The monster who only killed children at first let go of the little girl in front of him.

But he couldn't ask the question.

This question is the same as asking bluntly why Lin Yu and his wife were killed but the child was not.

The one in front of him is just a child, and the relationship with his dead colleague is still unknown.

"I'm Song Song. I'm from the village. I want to go to the Salesian Bureau. The Salesian Bureau has been blocked. My aunt has taken me in for two days." Song Song watched Zheng Bantou answer the question before him, and then turned to the door.

"My aunt and I were in the yard, someone passed by, the door rang, and my aunt went to open the door."

Speaking of this, Song Song stopped talking.

Bantou Zheng's face turned ugly again.

In this way, Lin Yu and his wife were killed one after the other, with no gap at all.That being the case, the question remains, why didn't this child have an accident?
Seeing the ugly face of this fierce-looking man, Song Song subconsciously moved to the side.

"Have you ever seen anything?"

The previous dead were almost all in secluded corners or simply lived alone. No one was around when the accident happened, let alone anyone who survived the monster. Only this strange looking child saw the dead, You may even have seen the murder of Lin Yu and his wife, but you are not afraid at all.

Zheng Bantou took out his several years of experience in handling cases and stared at Song Song with scrutiny.

It's not that Lin Yu never returned late before, but he was killed today, and there was a child of unknown origin in his family.

Combined with the fact that most of the accidents were children, Zheng Bantou knew in his heart that Song Song was very suspicious, but he didn't have any evidence.

Song Song shook his head and said clearly, "I don't remember."

It's not that I didn't see it, but I don't remember it.

Zheng Bantou suddenly felt like he had punched the cotton with a punch, and his efforts were wasted.

But the kid named Song Song in front of him is very likely to be a breakthrough. Brother Lin, who was investigating the case with him, also died in the hands of the monster. No matter what, he must find clues to get the monster——

Even if the monster is found, so what?
The sense of powerlessness almost overwhelmed this [-]-year-old man, and a cluster of anger was still burning in his heart.

He continued to look at Song Song with scrutiny, trying to find out what was wrong.

She looks like an ordinary little girl, her clothes are neat and clean... Wait!
Zheng Bantou almost pulled Song Song away, picked up the corner of her clothes, carefully looked at the dark spots on the corner of the clothes, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly blood.

Why is there blood on Song Song's clothes?
Is it the demon who attempted to kill or is Song Song the demon?
"Boss, when I came, Song Song was still lying on the ground unconscious, or the aunt living next to him hugged Song Song and fed him some hot water before waking him up." The little yamen servant who followed in saw Zheng's movements said cautiously.

It wasn't that he was thinking too much, but that Bantou Zheng's expression was as terrifying as if he wanted to eat this child. If he hadn't been working with Bantou Zheng for nearly a year, he might still be so scared that he couldn't move at this moment.

He was used to being fierce, but Song Song, a delicate and weak girl, could not stand such fierceness.

"Tell me honestly, what did you see? Think about it quickly!"

Song Song continued to shake her head, she really couldn't remember, and she wanted to think about it carefully, but the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

The little girl's face was already pale, but she followed Zheng Bantou's thoughts and thought about it. At this moment, she had a splitting headache, as if something wanted to gouge her head open.

"Bone claws... white bone claws..." Song Song struggled to retrieve some memory fragments, and then fell limply after finishing speaking.

The little yamen servant stomped his feet and invited the former neighbor's aunt to take care of the unconscious Song Song.

He is also anxious, he also wants to find the real culprit and take revenge, but bullying a little girl like this is nothing!

Seeing Song Song being taken back to the house by the neighbor's aunt to take care of him, the little yamen servant sat opposite Zheng Bantou, the sky had already brightened up, and he could clearly see the bloodshot eyes and the dark blue under the eyes of Zheng Bantou.

Those officials in the county government don't care about the life and death of the people in the city at all, but people are killed day after day, and the county magistrate and masters in the county government can't sit still, so they send some government officials out to investigate the case. Most of the yamen servants were left to guard in their own residences and yamen, for fear of being targeted by demons.

Obviously no one has seen the real culprit, but the rumor that the culprit is a demon has been spread outside, causing panic among people and causing a lot of obstacles to their investigation.

There are some people who believe in the theories of gods and ghosts, but so many people have died in their county, why don't they see some gods appearing to destroy that heart-wrenching demon? ! !
"Did you hear that?" Team leader Zheng stared wide-eyed, and when he looked at the little yamen servant suddenly, the little yamen servant was startled.

"What did you hear, Boss Zheng——Boss Zheng, you mean the sentence Song Song said before he fell into a coma?" Although the little yamen servant was a little timid, he had a good memory and usually handled trivial matters in a case. can remember.

"She said the bone claw, the white bone claw, does it mean that the perpetrator is really a demon?"

Zheng Bantou hammered the hammer head hard, and suddenly stood up supporting the table.

"What can deal with demons?"

"I'm going to invite Taoist priests to invite monks. I must catch this evil monster!"

The little yamen servant thought that Bantou Zheng's words were reasonable, so he quickly followed. He followed his mother to a temple in the mountains outside Fucheng in previous years.

When Song Song woke up, it was already noon.

The aunt was afraid that she would get sick from the cold, so she covered her with a thick quilt, covered her whole body tightly, and forced Song Song to cover her whole body in hot sweat.

The aunt next to Song Song, who was mending clothes, saw something moving on the bed, and hurriedly stood up to look at it. Seeing that the little girl was sweating all over, her face was flushed, and she said happily, "Take a bath after sweating, and then dry it in the sun." Get some sun and you'll be fine."

Song Song didn't understand it well, so he could only let the aunt arrange it.

The hot water is pre-boiled, and it will be used when Song Song wakes up.

At Song Song's insistence, the aunt didn't help her scrub. After Song Song finished scrubbing and changed into clean clothes, the aunt took Song Song to the yard to wash her hair with the water where wormwood lived.

After washing, wash one side with clean water, twist with a dry handkerchief, smooth out the hair, and let the hair and the hair dry in the sun.

It's ridiculous to say that such a good sun can come out after a murder case happened.

Song Song was drying her hair, holding a bowl of custard steamed by her aunt.

The color of the custard looked familiar, Song Song stared at it for a long time, and then ate the custard spoonful by the aunt's urging.

The steamed custard is yellow and clear, tender and delicious, with the unique aroma of eggs.

Song Song ate slowly, and suddenly remembered that his body had also emitted such a light.

The sunlight dazzled the eyes, Song Song was about to raise his head to look at the sun, but the aunt covered his eyes and muttered: "Where can children see the sun, if they look at the sun, they will lose their eyes."

Song Song didn't speak, she remembered the memory she had forgotten.

When the white bone claw was about to touch her, her body suddenly emitted a light that was more dazzling than the current sun.

What happened next, she didn't know.

When the yamen servant asked her the question, Song Song didn't remember anything, and the memory came back little by little later.

The yamen servant asked Song Song if he was afraid, Song Song shook his head and nodded.

Are you scared?It must be because of fear.

The little yamen servant was trembling when he mentioned the monster, and other people also felt scared when they mentioned the monster, so she should be afraid too.

Rather than being afraid, Song Song felt that he should be more angry at this time.

It's like being robbed of the candy that my aunt gave me by the children in the village.

Was it a demon that killed Auntie and her family... and the kids from the Salesian Bureau...

It is impolite to steal things from others, and an apology is required.

Killing someone's life...then pay for it.

"The strong will of the host has been detected—to kill the monsters that harm the living beings, and the system is being debugged——"

"The Xie Xie system is in place and bound to the host—Song Song."

A somewhat noisy voice suddenly appeared in his head. After listening carefully to what the other party said, Song Song didn't find it strange, and accepted the existence of the Xie Xie System very flatly.

"With you, I can kill the demon?"

"The remaining breath of the demon-skeleton demon has been detected, and the residual breath of the demon-eating ghost has been detected. The breath of the skeleton demon and the ghost-eating ghost has been locked."

As soon as the Execution System finished speaking, Song Song, who entered the room, had a small palm-sized compass on his waist.

"The compass can track the traces of the monster whose breath has been locked. The compass will light up within a radius of one mile of the monster whose breath has been locked. When the monster appears within a radius of ten miles of the compass, the compass will guide the direction of the monster. .”

Song and Song didn't have any concept of a radius of one mile and a radius of ten miles. They just thought about how far a mile was, and then judged how big a mile was based on this.

But within a radius of ten miles, she couldn't think of it.

"Auntie, how big is our county? How long does it take to walk around the county?"

The aunt was choosing vegetables, and she replied without raising her head: "It will take one or two hours to walk, and it is possible to walk for two or three hours at a slow pace."

Song Song walked around the village in about half an hour.But she has short legs and short steps, and her fast steps may not be as fast as adults with fast feet.As long as I was about to walk for two hours, the county seat was as big as four villages.

A radius of ten miles should be enough. As long as those two monsters appear in the city, the compass in her hand will be able to guide the direction of the monsters.

"It is detected that the host's physical fitness is lacking, the cultivation level is not available, and the cultivation root is average, and a talisman is issued to the host."

Song Song helped the aunt to choose dishes and washed her hands before returning to the house.

Looking at the bed made by his aunt yesterday, Song Song squeezed a folded paper charm in his palm, and put the charm into the small pouch hanging on his waist.

"Issuing the first task for the host - to lead the spirit into the body, the task rewards a Sunburst Talisman."

"What is the Fierce Sun Talisman?"

"The Fierce Sun Talisman has the effect of restraining and burning all yin and evil things, and can directly kill low-level skeleton demons."

After the Xie Xie system released the task, Song Song had an extra green stone in his hand, and a set of cultivation techniques in his mind.

There was a little figure in his mind demonstrating how to practice, Song Song closed the door, and set up a practice posture accordingly.
