Double world undercurrent

It rained again in the second half of the night in the other world. At both ends of the streets in Huandu City, which were coiled like vipers, the dark and cold-colored buildings were uneven and in various shapes. Just like this all-encompassing ethnic group, not only the original form Human monsters exist, and non-human monsters exist.

As a higher-level demonic life form, humanoid monsters were initially blessed with more resources in the Demon Realm. Later, with the fighting competition within the group, the entanglement of environmental interests, and the changes of the times, gradually, different forms of monsters were Monsters equally enjoy the resources of the Demon Realm, and a "grand unification" is achieved in the system. And this happened more than 1 years ago.

For the Witch Clan, all demonic life forms are monsters, including some summoned living creatures, such as messenger cranes with almost no consciousness of their own, and other animals native to the demonic realm. As long as it is a monster, it has a unique aura. Some monsters can control their breath freely and evade capture. However, there is still a risk of being exposed in the face of a high enough level of exorcism spell.

In the refinery, after Jiang Feng used the Appearance Technique to detect an abnormality, the entire site was immediately sealed off, and the wizards launched a carpet-like search.

Dense detection witch clouds spurted out from the edge of the barrier, gathered into a nut-like induction shell, tightly wrapped the site, and spread overwhelmingly inward, penetrating into every nook and cranny, just like infrared light waves. Searching round and round without blind spots...

In addition to the people of the Wu tribe who have the access conditions, any living creature that should not appear here can be detected by Wu Yun, even if it is a possessed object, there is nothing to hide...

However, after a rigorous inspection, even the outer walls of the refinery were inspected, and no trace of foreign objects was found.

"That's weird..."

"What kind of thing can ignore the exorcism spells all over this place and escape in a short time?"

"How can you be sure that there are foreign objects sneaking in? Didn't we find nothing?"

People from different witchcraft positions gathered together and had a heated discussion with different opinions.

"My Apparition Technique will not prompt anything unusual for no reason..."

Jiang Feng stood outside the weapon-refining compartment just now, with a tactful manner, and the light and shadow on the mask alternated between light and dark. His calm eyes glanced at the Suoluo witch drum in the compartment on the left that was going to be used to temper the blood bluestone. He knew that the witchcraft on the drum had a super strong demon-suppressing magnetic field, which was enough to torture the trapped monsters to death.

When the time comes, if Gu Xiaoxing can't resist...

He touched the door frame of the compartment with great depression, holding it heavily with his palms. He stared at the magic weapon shrouded in dark light from the corner of his eye, the luster in his eyes flickering.

"To be on the safe side, these magical artifacts need to be moved to a safer place... In addition, I will report to Chief Li that all members of the clan need to conduct an inventory of possessed objects..."

He still told his companions rationally, but his nails had already dug a deep mark on the door frame. He could not imagine that one day, Gu Xiaoxing would be trapped on the drum surface. How painful and desperate that would be!

But what's even more desperate is that he was the main force behind this happening...

The detection witchcraft in the refinery was filled with smoke. At this time, on the other side, in the underground parking lot outside the witchcraft space, a cleaning robot was automatically washing the stains on the ground. There was a pool of unknown purple liquid there, shaped like a moth, and no one paid attention to it. The fine luster outlined its outline, and soon, it mysteriously disappeared from the ground...

"This is too difficult. I can only control the puppet moth to travel into the real world, but it still won't work if it ignores the layers of protection from the witch clan and sneaks into the witch space..."

"Forget it...Fortunately, I successfully received Zhu Yan's secret password...Let's meet up with them first..."

At this time, in the alley on the outskirts of the capital of the alien world, Night Puppet, disguised as a moth, had put away his puppetry skills, and was clinging to the stone crevices with Lan Youzi, who was also disguised, avoiding the patrols on the street. Guard.

"However, that ghost-faced Tao San was indeed killed, and his remains were brought into the witchcraft space... this idiot!"

"What do they want with his remains?"

"I don't know... maybe I need to refine witch medicine or something... The puppet moth could have been attached to the outer wall of the space to eavesdrop, but I don't know what blocked it..."

"This Tao San, I expected him to collect more mortal essences to assist His Highness... but he actually took advantage of those Wu clan members..."

Even though Lan Youzi transformed into a moth, Ye Puppet still felt her anger.

They communicated in a weak way while staring at the patrolman's light source away from here.

"Hmph, these patrols have been brainwashed and educated by two generations of demon kings. They have never tasted the taste of 'mortal souls', and their minds don't seem to be very bright anymore..."

Ye Puppet taunted the patrolmen who were far away, and couldn't help but recall the scent of the souls of the mortals who died in his hands on the day of the massacre. If it weren't for the fact that he took a lot of food and strengthened his soul, he would be like the other prisoners and become ashes in the weeping cell.

Is a demon still a demon if it doesn't eat people?

He complained secretly in his heart.

"When we open the door to the 'new world', these 'poor creatures' will only be grateful to us..."

They skillfully vibrated their thin wings and continued flying to the latest secret base...

Almost at the same time, about twenty kilometers north of this side alley, on a main street in the center of Huandu City, Zelei had changed out of the suit and leather collar of the current world and returned to another world. Wearing a tailor-made dark blue fantasy robe, he strode down the floating street shrouded in "swallowing" gas clouds. He was accompanied by secret agent Chao Xun, and another secret agent with a slightly protruding forehead and slightly raised eyes.

Previously, he received two messages. One is about the subordinate Li Lan. Since this girl was poisoned by Ye Zong's puppet surgery, her divine energy has been in a state of separation. It is said that she finally woke up tonight, but before she could survive 5 minutes, she fell into a deep coma again. The current situation is good and bad, and is extremely unstable. Out of concern for his subordinates and necessary plans for the future, Zelei decided to visit the military medical office in the capital first.

Another piece of news was sent by a spy stationed in the real world. They had originally used the spying talisman secretly planted by diplomat Xi Yuan on the Wu clan envoys to secretly explore several places within the Wu clan. But just now, when they were snooping on the opponent's refinery, they were intercepted by someone. He used witchcraft to test his suspicions and was almost discovered, but the situation is still under control. Because once the spying sigil faces the risk of being exposed, it will self-destruct and disappear without anyone noticing, leaving no trace on the possessed person.

The current side of the world is remediating the information fed back through the snooping sigil. Although at that time, it was interfered by the ubiquitous exorcism protection on the opposite side, some of the information was scattered and incomplete, and the snooping words were intermittent, but some images could still be restored in time...

The city of Huandu was quiet and cold late at night. Except for the guards patrolling the streets, it was difficult to see any traces of other monsters. No matter how the vegetation and buildings here are updated, the overall atmosphere will always be dull and solemn under the long-term shroud of "swallowing" gas clouds.

"Chief Ze, the scimitar-armed monster who attacked Princess Leng Xin, the Investigation Department has conducted an investigation on his social circle and activities in the past two months."

As they were walking along the deserted passageway of the ward of the Capital Military Medical Palace, the spy with a slightly protruding forehead and slanted eyes reported to Zerei.

"What new discoveries have you made, Yin Zhu?"

Zelei looked forward, while Chao Xun on the other side turned his face and listened attentively.

"We discovered that there is a secret door in his spiritual oil shop. Since the huge sum of money appeared in his private account two weeks ago, he has not left home every day. He eats, drinks, and defecates on the spiritual oil. In the shop, until five days ago, under the instigation of someone, the guards pretending to be Zheng Huan were all leading to Yangcheng. The surveillance near the spiritual oil shop had been manipulated in advance, and the secret transmission door was also destroyed. The Investigation Department is working hard recovery……"

Yin Zhu told, and soon they arrived at the door of Li Lan's special care ward:
"The store clerk claimed that he had never seen that secret door. The door was very new and should have been installed recently. We also checked the buyers who have cooperated with him recently. Those wholesalers are private retail investors. In terms of scale and qualifications, , does not match the legendary 'big buyer', but when we checked his safe, we found a burnt page with some traces of a seal on it."

"Can you tell where the seal is?"

Zelei asked in a low voice, preparing to knock on the door of the ward.

"The seal is incomplete and it is difficult to identify the other party's identity, but we can make a preliminary inference..."

Yin Zhu's calm tone rose slightly:
"That's an official seal."

"Oh?"

Zelei's eyes were slightly surprised. In another world, private shops are subject to strict control and restrictions, and goods can only circulate freely in the private market. Unless they are specially approved by the above and stamped with an official seal, they can participate in official transactions, in which case they can receive more support.

Although the foreign world is already a "modern society", and the class solidification between the government and the people has been improved accordingly with the reform of the system, it is still more difficult for private investors to join the official market. A small spiritual oil shop like the one run by the Scimitar-armed Monster can't even meet the targets, unless... his intuition tells Zelei that the mastermind behind the assassination by the Scimitar-armed Monster has a good background. Catching him out would most likely be a matter of "moving the whole body with one move." As a neutral agency specially set up by the Demon King, the Investigation Department is still directly under the Demon King's jurisdiction. Some risks can be shared by the people below, and some risks may be overstepped by accident...

"Do you need me to go back and compile a report and submit it to the chief auxiliary officer, Chief Ze?"

Yin Zhu asked, rolling her round eyes.

"After you finish sorting it out, leave it to me first..."

Zereluo thought for a moment.

Since the person behind the scenes may have an official background, it is not safe to hand over the investigation report of the Investigation Department to the Chief Assistant Officer first. There is no guarantee that there will be support in the General Administration Department to get rid of Princess Lengxin to verify whether the speculation is correct. . The princess could be assassinated in the real world, and even the agents of the Investigation Department have not ruled out the suspicion. Zelei decided to personally submit the investigation report to the Demon King.

This does not mean that he has not doubted the rationality of that speculation. Objectively speaking, even if those people succeeded in killing Princess Leng Xin, it would do more good than harm to the camp he was loyal to, to the Demon King, and even to the peace of the other world. At least it would not cause any uproar. The Demon King could have turned a blind eye to this matter.

Although Leng Xin once sacrificed her life for righteousness and contributed a lot to the peace building between the two worlds, but now, the world is different. After her rebirth, she is accompanied by too many uncertain factors, which may even hurt them. Interests.

It is the devil's attitude that ultimately determines her status in the other world. Zerei didn't care so much about her safety. What he cared about was how to maintain the Demon King's authority.

"Director Ze, Li Lan's family is also inside..."

Chao Xun glanced at the viewing mirror on the door and said, then they knocked on the door of Li Lan's special care unit...

"You are here..."

The person who opened the door to greet him was Li Lan's father. The fine lines on his forehead were slightly deep and his square face was a bit slumped. When he saw his daughter's superior coming to visit, the tired Ruifeng's eyes held up a bit of sparkle. He summoned some soft chairs with a wave of his hand.

"Uncle, please sit down first..."

Zelei shook hands with the other party in a sympathetic manner and looked at the hospital bed with concern. At the same time, Chao Xun and Yin Zhu walked over and put the condolences on the bedside table. They saw a round, non-folk healing magic ball placed on it, and the pink and yellow beam of light shone into the hospital bed. Between the eyebrows of the sleeping Li Lan.

Compared with the previous two days, the black puppet poison on her eyebrows seemed to have faded a little now. Under the heavy quilt, two short tails covered with fluff were exposed. This was her second form. In another world, there are two forms of offspring produced by the combination of humanoid monsters and non-humanoid monsters. When their divine state is extremely unstable, they will naturally show their second form.

"That magic healing ball was put there at Princess Leng Xin's command."

Li Lan's father saw their eyes falling on the magic ball and slowly explained.

"Has Princess Leng Xin been here?"

Zerei was surprised.

"Thanks to the princess, she asked the maid to bring it here. She said that this magic ball was placed in the deep sea of ​​the Demon Palace for nourishment more than 800 years ago. It was helpful to Lan Lan's recovery from her injury...Princess Leng Xin...hasn't she lost her memory? Is it done?"

Li Lan's father asked a little bit, and the palms resting between his knees were covered with calluses. This was probably caused by his long years of repairing and taking care of the aristocratic family's backyard. He looked at his daughter on the hospital bed with a sad face, a little thoughtful in his eyes.

"How is Li Lan doing now?"

Zerei did not answer his doubts, but cut to the chase and asked.

"The puppet poison is slowly fading away. The magic doctor said that the magic healing ball has indeed had some effect. Lan Lan's divine energy is more stable than before."

"As long as she's recovering..."

Zelei said happily and turned to Chao Xun beside him:

"It seems that Yangcheng still needs your help for two more days, Chao Xun..."

"No problem, it's all reasonable. Let Li Lan recuperate here and wait until he recovers..."

There was a little peace in Chao Xun's clear eyes.

Li Lan's father stood up and wanted to express his gratitude to them. At this time, Zelei received another message from a spy on the other side of the world. He quickly tapped the messenger crane into the palm of his hand, and some information that he had discovered in the Wu Clan's refinery through spying on the talisman flashed in his mind. It seemed that the other side of the world had discovered the talisman before it self-destructed. Image repaired.

In this secret feedback image, Zelei stepped into the perspective of the witch man possessed by the spying sigil, and saw some people wearing witch robes, as well as some magic weapon parts piled on the edge of the field. The possessed wizard held a book of magic in his hands. He chatted with his companions and walked into a refining cubicle. Here, in the center of the dim light, there is a huge magic weapon, which looks like a super vast pot drum. The body of the drum is densely covered with witchcraft words to suppress demons.

It may be because the demon-suppressing magnetic field is too strong. Even the spying talisman, which can ignore the interference of witchcraft, cannot resist the strong interference when entering such a magnetic field, resulting in the images and sounds it detects. They all started to be intermittent and very incoherent. However, some key words and dialogues can still be heard.

This is a very important message! Zerei ranked it at the top of his list of upcoming reports...

The night in the alien world was still very deep. After the group came out of the special care ward after visiting Li Lan, the aurora clouds in the sky shone with a faint and strange blue light.

Yin Zhu took the lead and returned to the Investigation Department. Zelei looked at Chao Xun and found that the latter had been a little depressed and silent since he came out of Li Lan's ward. I wonder if it was Li Lan who was injured that made him feel something and reminded him of some things in his family?

"How are you doing at home recently, Chao Xun?"

"It's still like that..."

Chao Xun smiled bitterly.

Zelei patted his shoulder with understanding and helplessness.

"It's been seven years... I've tried everything I can, but I still... can't see any hope."

Chao Xun's clear and gloomy eyes were filled with night.

Zelei was silent for a while. He knew that at this time, no matter what words of comfort he used, it would be in vain for the other party.

"Is the pension still enough? I think... maybe I can apply again..."

"This is not about money... Mr. Ze, but... these years... I am still very grateful to you..."

Chao Xun looked at him and said.

"If you want to thank me, just thank His Highness. Even though it was..." Zelei paused, "It was an accident, wasn't it?"

Chao Xun took a deep breath:

"Ahem...how long has it been since that happened? Just...don't mention it...it's just my job...I just..."

I just hope that all this can really go away, Chao Xun said in his heart...
