"The blood ritual?"

Not only Li Changan, Ran Jianyu also showed doubts.

She had never heard of this so-called "blood ritual".

Zhao Shuihong's face was dark, and his voice was low:

"About half a year ago, we received an investigation mission and uncovered a weird cult group.

They serve an unknown god named 'Blood God', and in their base at that time, they found a broken scroll of 'Blood Ritual'."

"So. Has anyone among you watched it?" Li Changan couldn't help asking.

Zhao Shuihong's rough Chinese-character face was so gloomy that water dripped out, but he still said with absolute certainty:
"No."

Looking at the two of them, his eyes finally settled on Ran Jianyu.

"Ran, you should understand that once you find such a weird thing, you need to report it, and all the seizures must be handed in, and the higher-ups will give you a reward."

Ran Jianyu who heard the words nodded his head, agreeing with his words.

This is the rule.

But Ran Jianyu immediately asked:

"Where did Shi Cheng get the ritual method?"

"I don't know." Zhao Shuihong said.

After a brief pause, he hesitated and said again:

"Perhaps... we haven't completely wiped out that group of people, or perhaps, Shi Cheng found a similar ritual method from other places."

Ran Jianyu lowered his eyes and made no statement.

But obviously she didn't quite agree with this statement.

"What does the 'Blood Ritual' do?" Li Changan asked after thinking about it.

"resurrection."

Zhao Shuihong clenched her fists again, as if she was suppressing something.

"resurrection?!"

Li Changan stared at the dead black iron leopard in the "blood pool".

Although, this world is full of all kinds of spirit beasts, and they also have all kinds of weird or mysterious abilities.

But Li Changan firmly believed that when it came to the ability of resurrection, it was definitely not something that could be easily touched.

At least.

It is not within the reach of low-level spirit masters like them.

"Similar to 'life refining'?"

He had seen some descriptions about the mysterious ritual of "life refining" in a pile of ancient books in the library of the Quiet Society.

"Life refining" is also a ritual that can form the so-called "resurrection" illusion.

only.

"Life refining" can only restore the bodies of humans or spirit beasts, but it cannot touch the most mysterious "soul" and "spirituality" levels.

More like the "cloning" technology of his previous life.

The "soul" is often the most mysterious and difficult to touch.

Random touches, a little carelessness, are very likely to fall into deception.

Rituals involving taboos such as "life refining" and "blood ritual" mostly originated from the end of the third era to the fourth era.

It belongs to the subsidiary products produced by the ancient imperial spirit masters in their exploration of the way forward, and they are not very good subsidiary products.

Nowadays, both the kingdom and the Imperial Spirit Master Association expressly prohibit this kind of taboo ceremony.

Once touched, it must be strangled.

Zhao Shuihong gave Li Changan a sideways glance in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to know about 'life refining'."

"Li Chang'an is the history expert of the Yangcheng Branch of our Tranquility Society." Ran Jianyu raised his chin slightly and said.

historian
Sister Yu, we can't afford it, Li Changan complained secretly.

"Meow."

Xiao Huan also raised his chin, his expression was much more proud than Ran Jianyu's.

Zhao Shuihong nodded thoughtfully, and continued:

"When the red moon was changing, the side we were responsible for suffered a lot of shocks. Shi Cheng's Black Iron Leopard suffered a lot of injuries in order to protect him. When he was sent back to the base, he was already dying."

Is Shi Cheng risking the so-called "blood ritual" to revive his soul beast, the Black Iron Leopard?
Li Changan looked sideways at Xiao Huan on his shoulder.

"Woooo~~"

Xiao Huan also looked at him subconsciously.

Bring in Shi Cheng's identity.

If Xiao Huan was seriously injured in order to protect him, he could not be revived.

There are two roads before him.

One is to reluctantly accept the reality.

The other is to try to resurrect Xiao Huan in an extremely dangerous and extremely low probability way. How would he choose?
Reason told him that he should choose to accept.

But the reality is, he probably will take the same path as Shi Cheng without hesitation.

All three fell silent.

Because they all understand Shi Cheng's approach and accept the reason.

but.

Understanding doesn't mean he's doing the right thing.

It's just that my heart is somewhat blocked.

After a while, Li Changan slowly recovered from the assumption of his identity, and said again:

"'Blood Ritual' will turn Shi Cheng into such a monster that is neither human nor ghost?"

if so.

Then how did "Pale Picture Scroll" wipe out that cult group?
As long as three or four of the group of people become like Shi Cheng, the pale-painted person would rather die than exterminate them.

Looking at Zhao Shuihong's expression, it seems that he didn't understand it either.

"Ran." Zhao Shuihong looked at Ran Jianyu.

"Although it's a little inappropriate, I still want to ask Jing Mi to help you investigate the cult group again. I will report to the above and share the task."

Ran Jianyu didn't speak, just looked at him silently, waiting for his next words.

Zhao Shuihong sighed slightly.

"I don't know if others among us are affected. According to the regulations, when there are affected people within us, and it cannot be ruled out whether other people are also affected, we can share tasks with other organizations, or directly hand over tasks. "

Shi Cheng's situation made him not sure whether the rest of their pale scrolls would also be affected.

For the sake of stability, he had to go back and gather everyone, and then invite an expert in mysticism from above to conduct an inspection on everyone.

In this way, unnecessary danger and trouble are avoided.

Obviously, Ran Jianyu also understands such rules and regulations.

But she narrowed her eyes and said:

"The task is entrusted to us."

There was no negotiating tone.

Zhao Shuihong smiled wryly.

If it was him, he would not accept the so-called task sharing, either he would hand over the task directly, or no one would interact.

otherwise.

Afterwards, it will be very troublesome to distribute the bonus according to the payment.

It is not uncommon for two or more organizations in other cities to cooperate before. The final task was not completed, but there were many intrigues with each other, and the relationship between several parties was deteriorated.

Say.

The relationship between everyone is not that good.

"it is good."

Finally nodded in agreement.

After hesitating for a while, he added:
"I asked Mo to explain the details to you."

The three of them looked in the direction of the warehouse door at the same time.

I see.

Shen Xiaomo's timid girl was lying beside the door, poking out half of her head cautiously.

Noticing the gazes of the three, he suddenly shivered, and hurriedly shrank back.

Seeing her timid appearance, Li Chang'an really doubted, asked her to hand over the details, can you explain clearly?
But Ran Jianyu agreed without hesitation.

After that, Zhao Shuihong left, leaving behind Shen Xiaomo.

As for the warehouse, he will ask the people from the Public Security Bureau to handle it.

Shen Xiaomo looked at Zhao Shuihong who was leaving pitifully.

She was left behind?
"Sister Yu, she."

Li Changan felt that Ran Jianyu might not understand Shen Xiaomo's situation, and felt it necessary to remind him.

He didn't reject Shen Xiaomo, but he felt that the task was not easy, and it would be more reliable to find someone who could speak more fluently to take over.

But Ran Jianyu said calmly:

"She is the baby of Pale Picture Scroll. She possesses 'Soul Stigmata: Spiritual Awareness', which can provide a lot of help for the mission."

"'Soul Stigmata: Spiritual Awareness'?!"

Li Changan was astonished.

He looked again at the little girl standing there timidly, rubbing the corner of her clothes.

This was the first time he had met someone with the talent of "Soul Stigmata".

Although he is also considered to be the owner of "Soul Stigmata: Strengthening".

But Li Chang'an knew in his heart that he was just relying on the black leather handbook to put on a show.

It turns out that there are really some talented imperial spirit masters.

Simultaneously.

He also understood.

Why can Shen Xiaomo see Xiao Huan in the "Shadow Escape" state.

It can also lock Shi Cheng in the wrong state like Xiao Huan.

It is also possible to find the weakness of Shi Cheng who has become a monster.

But even with a rare talent, how to communicate is still a big problem.

Ran Jianyu seemed to see through his thoughts, and looked him up and down.

"Do you think that everyone is like you, when they do the first trial task, they can turn over the almost qualitative case?"

She was talking about the case of the Helong Mine in Ningyuan County.

At that time, the case was almost settled.

Who knew that Li Chang'an really caught Zheng Chunyue out.

Fatty was late at the time, and this was also part of the reason.

Li Changan touched his nose.

Ok.

It seems that Zhao Shuihong wants to exercise Shen Xiaomo.

There must be part of the reason for taking her to the banquet tonight.

"Let's go, go back and get ready, Fatty and the others should have almost recovered."

Ran Jianyu walked out of the warehouse with the ferocious rock wolf.

Shen Xiaomo lowered his head and silently followed behind Li Changan without anyone telling him, just like a little follower.

"Old Cao is awake?"

Back at the base of the Tranquility Society, Li Changan learned this information from Bai Zhu.

"Please take this girl with you."

Leaving behind two girls who are a little confused.

Don't say it.

One of them is talkative and the other is dumb.

I don't even know what it's going to be like.

He strode towards the room where Cao Xinsheng was resting.

When walking, Xiao Huan suddenly felt his nose itchy.

"Chirp—"

He sneezed, pawed twice, and grabbed a few strands of black hair.

Li Changan: "."

Xiao Huan stood up and glanced at the top of Li Changan's head, patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there is a lot of hair volume.

Ignoring the little guy's worries, when Li Changan walked into Lao Cao's room, Teng Hongrui and He Yongnan were already inside.

"Chang'an is here." Teng Hongrui greeted.

Li Changan immediately looked at Cao Xinsheng who was lying on the bed.

I saw that his complexion was rosy, with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in good condition.

Seeing his appearance, the hanging heart was half relieved.

Sit on the edge of the bed.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Cao Xinsheng said with a smile.

Li Changan patted the quilt and laughed too.

"Then I have to tell my aunt that she has been thinking about you all this time."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but from the corner of Li Changan's eyes, he was silently watching Lao Cao's expression.

Xiao Huan on the shoulder also shrank slightly, and the shadow flashed away at an angle that few people could not see.

Cao Xinsheng was taken aback.

"You knew already?"

what do you know?
Teng Hongrui and He Yongnan were puzzled.

After Li Chang'an paused, he slightly nodded with a complicated expression.

Seeing Cao Xinsheng let out a sigh of relief, showing a guilty smile, he shook his head and said:
"It made her worry. I wanted to surprise her before."

"surprise?"

Cao Xinsheng glanced at the three people in the room, and pursed his lips.

"I adopted two children from an orphanage."

heard.

Both Teng Hongrui and He Yongnan stared in shock.

"Adopt a child?!" He Yongnan's voice was two notches higher.

"Then why are you so surprised? I didn't want to tell you, but I didn't leave my name when I did a good deed."

"Just you?" He Yongnan showed disdain.

"Old He you bastard"

"."

Soon, the familiar bickering of Lao Cao and Lao He came from the room.

Teng Hongrui and Li Changan watched silently from the side.

Unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

This familiar feeling.

Good.

Lao Cao took the initiative to bring out what Li Changan was worried about, which was tantamount to taking the initiative to uncover the scars and give Li Changan peace of mind.
