237 Empty City
Inside Gu Yue City.

Monk Shenxiu and Zhou You were chatting in a restaurant.

After the two of them left the small mountain village, they decided to investigate around the ancient Yue city first.

"I sneaked into the county government of Gu Yue City before, but I didn't see any records of a large number of people missing or dying."

Holding the teacup, Zhou You took a sip of the tea.

"The bloody altar is a big taboo. These people are naturally careful in carrying it out, trying not to leave any clues." Shenxiu said lightly.

"However, I think hundreds of thousands of people have been missing within ten years, and some traces should still be left. After all, these are living people."

Zhou You's face was gloomy: "But the population near Guyue City alone is as high as tens of millions. To find the traces left by these 10 people, relying on you and me alone is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack."

If it was an ordinary case, Zhou You would directly reveal his identity, and the local county government would naturally cooperate with all his strength. Coupled with the intelligence agency of the headquarters of the Department of Demon Elimination, it would not be difficult to find some clues.

The waters of this case are too deep.

Zhou You was sure that the mastermind behind the scenes must have official power, even if it was the Exorcist, it might even be infiltrated.

"Then the only clue we have left now is this young man who slaughtered the village." Shenxiu said softly.

"However, if you want to find it in the vast sea of ​​people, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack."

Zhou You sighed.

"At the very least, we still have a glimmer of hope." Shenxiu remained optimistic.

The two came to a calligraphy and painting shop and borrowed the Four Treasures of the Study.

Originally, Zhou You wanted to ask the artist to paint the appearance of the young man, but he didn't expect Shenxiu to ask for it.

"The poor monk has also dabbled in the technique of Danqing, so let me do it."

After Shenxiu finished speaking, she picked up the Langhao brush and began to draw on the clean white rice paper.

Soon, a young man with dark and cold eyes appeared vividly on the paper.

It was the devil-like young man who slaughtered the village.

"I didn't expect Master Shenxiu's painting skills to be so superb"

Looking at the lifelike portrait, even Zhou You couldn't help but marvel.

"The benefactor put away this painting, maybe it will be of great use in the future." Shenxiu said lightly.

Zhou You nodded slightly, and put away the portrait.

This is the end of the second investigation.

After Zhou You and Shenxiu discussed a few more words, they left separately.

Zhou You still needs to go back to the headquarters of the Magic Division to learn about martial arts.

And Shenxiu also needs to return to Bodhi Temple.

The harvest this time is much greater than Zhou You's first investigation.

At least he knew the function of the bloody altar and the true culprit.

Zhou You believes that perhaps it won't be long before the truth may surface.

And what he has to do now is to break through the innate realm and secretly investigate the man's true identity.

As soon as he returned to the headquarters of the Demon Elimination Division, Zhou You heard an explosive news.

Lin Jianming disappeared during his mission.

It is said that Ning Lu has personally set out to go to the place where Lin Jianming disappeared.

And Zhou You found Song Feifei and asked her about the situation.

"According to what I know, Lin Jianming's mission to eliminate demons is to clean up a low-level ghost." Song Feifei didn't hide it.

Generally speaking, areas that accumulate a large amount of dead and cloudy energy will turn into ghosts if they do not dissipate for a long time.

Of course, ghost creatures are also divided into levels, which are divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.

Generally speaking, low-level ghosts and creatures send high-level demon exterminations there.

And intermediate ghost creatures need demon suppressors.

As for the high-level ghost creature, it needs to be the head of the department.

Generally speaking, it should be no problem to deal with low-level ghosts with Lin Jianming's strength.It is indeed a very strange thing to lose contact suddenly.

But at present, Ning Lu himself is going out, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Zhou You can only wait for the follow-up development.

The sky was gloomy, with gray raindrops.

Under the pouring rain, a small town stands quietly on the ground.

This small town is too quiet, without any people, lifeless, and a little scary.

A figure slowly came from afar.

There seemed to be a transparent mask on his body, which kept the drizzle out, and he didn't get wet at all.

Ning Lu looked at the small town and sighed slightly, and stepped into it.

There are all kinds of stalls in the streets of the town, and there are even restaurants, pawn shops, and rouge shops. Except for people, there are everything.

The rain wet the ground, making it feel slippery to step on.

It's like stepping on moss.

The sky was getting darker.

Ning Lu looked at it at a glance, and there was no light in the whole street, and it was pitch black.

He took out a red invitation card from his pocket and looked at the location.

Into the depths of this dark street.

The two groups of bright red lights are so dazzling on the dark street, as if they are the only light source in this small town.

Those were two big red lanterns, hanging high on a gate.

There is also a plaque on the door.

"Jiang Mansion."

Hanging red lanterns means that it is a happy event.

Ning Lu came to Jiang's mansion, as if confirming something, then walked into the mansion.

There seemed to be a wedding banquet in the mansion. Tables of all sizes filled the yard, and even the dishes were prepared. There were lights and festoons everywhere, all red, so festive.

It's just that this kind of celebration, placed in an empty environment, looks extremely frightening and terrifying.

A man was wearing a wedding dress and sat expressionlessly on the main seat in the lobby.

With that appearance, it was Lin Jianming impressively.

It's just that his expression is dull now, as if his three souls and six souls have been lost.

"Finally someone came to see my wedding banquet."

A woman's voice sounded as sharp as a knife cutting glass.

Ning Lu turned his head to look sideways.

A white-haired woman in red clothes came out from the corridor.

It has an exquisite figure, and its face is painted with light makeup, making it look a little coquettish.

"Why, the Exorcist sent you here alone?"

Ning Lu smiled and said, "Isn't it enough for me alone?"

"It's true that one person can't fill my stomach." The red-clothed, white-haired woman had a strange smile on her face, exuding a strong sense of death.

"That depends on whether you have the appetite." Ning Lu's face gradually became serious.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for Lin Jianming to fall by mistake. The death aura exuding from this woman is definitely a black nightmare level monster.

boom!
A cold breath that seemed to freeze everything suddenly burst out from Ning Lu's body.

Kacha~
The temperature of the entire Jiang Mansion began to drop sharply, and even frost formed.

Even the drizzle that fell from the sky was frozen into ice cones, fell to the ground, and shattered into countless ice slags.

The smile on the face of the red-clothed and white-haired woman became more and more strange. It stretched out its scarlet tongue and licked its lips, before it threw itself at Ning Lu viciously.
