Full-time Mage's All-Fire Surrender

Chapter 230 Butterfly Effect Mo Fan Arrested
The long meeting lasted until noon, without any break in the middle. It was not until lunch time that Zhu Meng, who was in charge of hosting the meeting, announced the end of the meeting with a face of reluctance.

This is not good for mages to hold meetings. Strong mental power can allow them to concentrate for a long time without mental fatigue, which generally leads to extremely long meetings.

If it weren't for the mage's body and the need for energy intake, Ling Xiuyuan felt that this meeting could last until night.

When he heard that Zhu Meng announced the end of the meeting, he let out a long sigh of relief. He only felt that Zhu Meng was very cute at this time, completely no longer the hideous face he had been speaking just now.

Anyone who holds a three-hour meeting and still stands still to participate will feel a little impatient in his heart, not to mention the content of this meeting, in his opinion, is completely wrong and nonsense. talk.

The topics mentioned in this meeting are basically raised around the premise that the plague is caused by black snakes. From the starting point, it is a big mistake, and what useful conclusions can be drawn?
This also made Ling Xiuyuan secretly annoyed. At the beginning of the meeting, he raised the idea that this plague might be the plague, but no one paid attention to it.

Oh, except for Luo Mian, who pretended to be ignorant while pretending to understand.

During the meeting, Zhu Meng challenged Tang Zhong many times over the idea that the plague was caused by the black snake, and asked him to quickly call back the two who fled with the black snake.

And Tang Zhong also tried to argue with reason several times, but Ling Xiuyuan could see that in his subconscious, he also had a little doubt about the black snake, suspecting that the plague was caused by the black snake.

The evidence is that Ling Xiuyuan clearly said that the plague this time was a possibility of plague, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. He used this point of view to refute Zhu Meng, and only protested Zhu Meng's proposal to kill the black snake.

From a rational point of view, Tang Zhong felt that there was a high chance that the plague was caused by the black snake, but from an emotional point of view, he didn't want to admit that the gods that his family had guarded for thousands of years would take action against the people it guarded.

This also led to his current contradictory attitude. On the one hand, in his speech at the meeting, he seemed to admit the crime of Xuan Snake, and on the other hand, he was preventing the snake slaughter proposal from being issued.

But which one of the participants in this meeting is not a good person? Many people have already seen from his speech that his attitude is not as firm as before, and there is a sign of loosening.

As the meeting ended, Ling Xiuyuan and Lingling also followed Leng Qing out of the meeting room following the flow of people.

When walking to a relatively empty corridor, Lingling suddenly asked Ling Xiuyuan: "Now everyone thinks that the plague was released by the black snake. Will we continue to follow the original plan?"

Ling Xiuyuan's face remained unchanged, he nodded affirmatively and said, "Continue."

Leng Qing, who was walking in front, turned around and asked with a puzzled look: "What are you talking about?"

Before Ling Xiuyuan had time to answer, Lingling came to Leng Qing's side first, hugged her waist, pointed to Ling Xiuyuan and said: "Ling Xiuyuan said that you got the source of the plague wrong, and you want me to help you find out where the plague is. s reason."

Ling Xiuyuan looked at Lingling in disbelief. This little heartless person was obviously afraid of being blamed by his family later, so he simply put all the blame on him and sold him out.

Lingling laughed while hiding behind Leng Qing, and wrinkled her nose towards Ling Xiuyuan.

On the side, after hearing Lingling's words, Leng Qing immediately stared at Ling Xiuyuan.

Looking at Leng Qing's eyes that were as sharp as a sword, Ling Xiuyuan couldn't help crying in his heart, saying in front of others that he wanted to take his sister to the epidemic area, how could it feel like he was trying to die.

The two stood in the corridor and looked at each other for a while, Leng Qing's attitude softened slightly, and he asked, "Why do you think we got the reason for the plague wrong?"

Ling Xiuyuan explained in a flat tone: "Many people's thinking is bound by the existing evidence."

"Because many people have subconsciously determined that the black snake is the source of the plague, so in subsequent inferences, under the guidance of inertial thinking, they subconsciously guide all the evidence to it."

"In this case, no matter how they infer, they will apply the clues they get to the black snake, and deduce that the black snake is the source of the plague."

Hearing this, Leng Qing had no expression on her face, she couldn't tell whether she agreed or opposed to this point of view, she just asked in a flat tone: "So, you deny this conclusion, just like what you said in the conference room, Think it's the plague?"

There was surprise in Ling Xiuyuan's eyes, he didn't expect that what he said at the meeting would be heard by her.

"I'm not sure, I just feel that there are still some doubts about this plague."

"The most obvious point is that the snake has lived here for thousands of years, and there must have been several moulting periods during this period, but there is no record of this happening."

After Ling Xiuyuan expressed his point of view, Leng Qing kept looking at him expressionlessly, completely unable to tell what she was thinking from the facial expression.

Just when Ling Xiuyuan was stared at uncomfortably and wanted to ask Lingling for help, Leng Qing's expression relaxed, and he waved to Ling Xiuyuan with a look of approval on his face.

"Come with me."

After speaking, she brought Ling Xiuyuan and Lingling to her office.

Walking into the office, Leng Qing went straight to her desk, picked up a document from the desk, and handed the document to Ling Xiuyuan.

"Look at this document first."

Ling Xiuyuan took the document, sat on the sofa in the office, and read it carefully.

After opening the file in his hand, he found that it was an analysis report of the original two victims.

After reading it, his eyes were fixed on the last page of the information, the words 'the target was suspected to have been active in Baizhen during his lifetime'.

Due to the relatively long time, although Ling Xiuyuan remembered the development sequence of the major events and the cause of the events, he forgot some details.

Just like this incident, although he knew that the cause of the incident was that some hunters used the blood agent in question, which led to a series of subsequent incidents, but he could no longer remember where those hunters came from.

Before coming to Hangcheng, he deliberately searched the map for the towns near Hangzhou where hunters appeared, but there were more than one such towns, and he couldn't remember exactly which one the batch of blood poison came from. up.

Now, from the report Leng Qing gave him, he finally found the clue he wanted.

He handed the information in his hand to Lingling who was already impatient, looked at Leng Qing and said with a smile: "Master, it seems that you also have doubts about the source of this plague."

Leng Qing nodded and said: "That's right, I have already sent people there to inquire about relevant information, not only Baizhen, but also other surrounding towns, I have also sent people there."

"Then it seems that I just need to stay here and wait for new news from your side." Ling Xiuyuan shrugged.

At this moment, Lingling who was sitting beside Ling Xiuyuan suddenly said, "I'm going to Baizhen."

"Huh?" Ling Xiuyuan looked at Lingling in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Baizhen? Didn't the senior sister send someone there? How about waiting here for the senior sister's subordinates to pass the news back?"

Lingling put the information in her hand on the table, turned her head and looked at Ling Xiuyuan seriously.

"If the news you told me before departure is true, then these people will soon have no time to investigate the plague."

Ling Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Lingling was talking about was about the White Magic Eagle tribe.

Leng Qing frowned, feeling that what Lingling said might not be good news, and asked in a concentrated voice: "What news?"

Ling Xiuyuan explained with a solemn expression: "I found out in the wild that the White Magic Falcon tribe has changed, and there are signs of a large number of gatherings. I have notified the news to the guards at the West Fortress and asked them to go to the wild to investigate."

Hearing the news of the monster's change, Leng Qing's expression became serious.

"sure?"

Before Ling Xiuyuan could respond, Leng Qing's cell phone on the table rang suddenly and hurriedly.

She picked up the mobile phone on the table, went to the side to answer it, and looked back at Ling Xiuyuan with a surprised expression after a while.

After a while, Leng Qing hung up the phone, walked back with a solemn expression, and took a deep look at Ling Xiuyuan.

"There is an urgent report from the mage stationed in the West Fortress. After investigation by the mage outside, there is a change in the White Magic Falcon tribe in the wild. It is very likely that they will launch an attack on Hangzhou in the near future. The possibility of the existence of a monarch-level monster cannot be ruled out."

"Right now, the higher-ups are already summoning us to hold an emergency meeting in the conference room upstairs, and they will probably order us to recall all our personnel to support the defense of the West Fortress."

"Although I really want you to return to the capital now, I guess you won't listen to me. I'll leave it to you to investigate the source of the plague."

"Ling Xiuyuan, protect Lingling."

Ling Xiuyuan opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

In fact, he also wanted to follow the large army and go to the West Fortress of Hangzhou to support him, but he thought that it would not be safe for Lingling to travel alone, so he gave up asking, and planned to send Lingling to Baizhen first, and then play it by ear.

But Lingling was pulled over by him after all, she couldn't just leave it alone, so she had to reply instead: "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Ling Xiuyuan agreed, Leng Qing hurried out of the office and went upstairs for a meeting.

After Leng Qing went out, Lingling suddenly said: "You actually wanted to go with me just now, didn't you?"

Looking at Lingling's determined expression, Ling Xiuyuan gave a wry smile, sighed and said: "Over there in Baizhen, I can't help much with the past, I don't have relevant knowledge, I can only do some errands and so on. hard work."

Lingling picked up the documents on the table, put them into the small schoolbag she put aside, and said lightly: "You still have time to follow the past, I can do it by myself."

Ling Xiuyuan laughed and shook his head, reaching out and rubbing Lingling's head hard.

"Okay, how can I trust you to act alone? What you have to consider now is how to quickly find out the source of this plague after you get to Bai Town."

Lingling shook her head unhappily, and slapped Ling Xiuyuan's arm away.

"I hate it, don't rub my head, your hair is messed up by you."

Ling Xiuyuan laughed out loud, feeling that he had avenged Lingling for taking the blame on him just now, and felt extremely happy, so he got up and walked quickly towards the door.

"Wait for me."

Lingling picked up the small schoolbag on the side, and chased after Ling Xiuyuan.

With the soft knock of the door, the office returned to silence.

There is a short distance between Hangcheng and Baizhen. Even if Ling Xiuyuan took Lingling and flew directly there with the magic wing tool, it was already very late when he arrived at Baizhen, and there was only a trace of the setting sun in the sky. Afterglow.

At the entrance of Baizhen, Ling Xiuyuan and Lingling looked at the town that had been completely blocked in front of them, speechless.

Due to the plague, this small town has been completely blocked. Unless there are special circumstances, no one is allowed to enter or leave to prevent infected people from spreading the virus.

Only then did Ling Xiuyuan truly feel the impact of this plague.

In Hangzhou, although people are in a hurry, there are not many people infected with the plague, only one or two cases, and people's lives are no different from usual.

But here, the entire town is under martial law, and even the guards at the gate of the city have gloomy faces, and you can feel the oppressive atmosphere in the city from a long distance away.

Ling Xiuyuan brought Lingling to the gate of the city, showed his judge's ID to the guard at the gate, and explained for a long time before he was able to enter the city.

After entering the city, Ling Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Lingling and said, "Let's rest for one night first, and start the investigation tomorrow morning."

But he didn't know that the moment he entered the city, he had already disturbed a certain existence in the town.

In a remote and dilapidated hotel in the city, Mo Fan was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating because he had nothing to do.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, waking him up from the meditation state.

He hurried to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, Tang Yue was looking anxious. Seeing that Mo Fan finally opened the door, she quickly turned around and got into Mo Fan's room.

Mo Fan looked at Tangyue's impatience, and joked, "Teacher Tangyue, don't tell me you can't wait to give me your body?"

"Oh, what time is it? You're still joking." Tangyue reached out and poked Mo Fan's forehead, and then said a little uneasy: "The big guy said it felt a very dangerous breath, I think it is very likely to be The masters of the Judgment Council have received some news and caught up."

Mo Fan didn't care about joking anymore, and asked seriously: "Has it told you what kind of breath it is?"

Tangyue looked worried, and frowned and said: "It can't tell, it just says it's a hot and violent breath, it should be a master of fire from where it is transferred."

"And according to the big guy, the owner of this aura is well hidden. If it wasn't just in the moulting period and its perception power has increased significantly, otherwise it might not be able to detect this aura."

"Even so, it only noticed the existence of this aura when the owner of this aura entered the city and was already very close."

"The aura suddenly appeared in its range of perception just now, and it was also taken aback."

"Then..." Mo Fan swallowed his saliva, and said reluctantly: "Have you sensed the strength level of that breath?"

"No." Tang Yue shook her head.

"According to the big guy, the strength of that breath is very strange. It is only about the strength of a high-level or commanding officer, but if you perceive it carefully, it gives people a feeling that it can burn everything."

"Besides, this aura seems to restrain the big guy. I suspect that this is a master specially sent to deal with the big guy."

As she said that, Tangyue bit her thumbnail, a look of worry appeared on her face.

Looking at the enchanting and charming Teacher Tangyue on weekdays, but now I feel pity for her. Mo Fan has already left other things out of his mind, and just wants to reach out to smooth the wrinkles between her brows.

Fortunately, this impulse was eventually suppressed by the only reason left in his heart.

With the return of reason, Mo Fan finally remembered what Tangyue said just now, and the situation they are facing now.

He couldn't help shivering when he thought of how far away the pursuers were from them, and what would happen to him if he was caught.

Tangyue still has the status of a judge, but he is just an ordinary student of the Pearl Institute, if he is caught, he will not find anyone who is worthy of justice for him.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to Tangyue, "Teacher Tangyue, we have to run away."

Tangyue nodded, and looked at the sky outside.

"Don't wait for nightfall, as long as it's completely dark, we'll rush out."

"The owner of that breath didn't come to the door immediately, which means that we haven't found us for the time being, but if we continue like this, we will be discovered sooner or later."

"Since it will be discovered sooner or later, it is better to fight while the initiative is still there."

According to Xuan Snake's description, Tangyue subconsciously believed that the aura was the master mage sent by the Tribunal to chase after her. She couldn't care less about other things, and now she just wanted to leave this town immediately.

After confirming the action plan, she directly pulled Mo Fan to the outside.

"Go, before leaving here, accompany me to take a look at the defense situation outside."

Feeling the soft touch in his hand, Mo Fan couldn't tell the difference between east, west, south, north, and south in his mind, so he followed Tangyue's pace subconsciously.

At this time, on the other side of the town, the owner of the aura that made Xuan Snake feel jealous was sitting in a restaurant on the side of the road having dinner.

"Suck it~"

Ling Xiuyuan sucked a wisp of noodles into his mouth and looked across the dining table.

"Lingling, are you sure there is nothing that needs my help?"

"Heh!" Lingling was sitting on the opposite side of the table, playing with a badge-shaped magic tool in his hand, and looked at him with some disdain.

"I don't have any suitable jobs for you here. If you are really bored, go outside and kill two demons."

Hearing this slightly sarcastic remark, Ling Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly, lowered his head to concentrate on cooking, and at the same time scolded himself in his heart, why not just idle around when there is no work to do?

After dinner, Ling Xiuyuan and Lingling went outside and started looking for hotels with vacancies.

Since the town was under full martial law, the hotel rooms in the town became a little tense. The two had found three hotels. The staff of these hotels said that there were no vacant rooms for the time being.

Just as the sky was completely dark and Ling Xiuyuan began to consider in his heart, lowering the standard for selecting hotels, or going directly to the camp set up by the Judgment Council, there seemed to be a commotion on the edge of the town.

Just when he thought he might have heard it wrong, a siren sounded from the direction of the commotion just now.

As the alarm sounded, the few people on the streets of the town began to flee like headless chickens.

Originally due to the plague and martial law, some people in the small town were panicked. Now when they heard the siren sounding suddenly, these people's tense nerves were stretched again, which created the scene in front of them.

In the chaotic crowd, Ling Xiuyuan and Lingling were like two different species, with calm faces, strolling leisurely by the side of the road, in stark contrast to the crazy people around.

Occasionally, there are a few who don't have eyes, and Ling Xiuyuan disposes of them lightly.

Seeing that the riots in the city would not end in a while, Ling Xiuyuan simply went against the flow of people and brought Lingling to the edge of the quarantine area, where several white tents gathered together.

This is a tent meeting room temporarily set up for meetings of healing experts invited from all over the place, surrounded by a small number of members of the Tribunal as guards, and it is currently one of the safest areas in this small town.

Before he got to the tent, when he could only see the top of the tent, a loud shout came from nearby: "Who is it?"

Ling Xiuyuan had expected to look to the shadow in the front left, and took out his ID card from his pocket.

"Coming together, the Lingyin Trial Council, the independent judge Ling Xiuyuan, is now under the command of the deputy chief judge Leng Qing."

As Ling Xiuyuan's words fell, the shadow began to squirm, and a middle-aged man stepped out of it.

The man took the ID from Ling Xiuyuan's hand, just glanced at it casually, then handed it back to Ling Xiuyuan, and said in a somewhat casual tone: "It's routine, I don't think it's troublesome."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Lingling, and said with a smile: "Little Lingling, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Lingling turned her head to the side and said coldly: "Hmph, blame uncle..."

"Oh~" The middle-aged man scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Little Lingling's mouth is still so poisonous..."

With that said, he led Ling Xiuyuan and the two towards the tent area.

Seeing that the visitor and Lingling knew each other, Ling Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, he leaned over to the middle-aged man, pointed to the direction where the alarm sounded just now and asked, "Brother, what happened there just now?"

"Oh, over there..." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Two people rushed the checkpoint and even smashed the enchantment they set up. They seem to be wanted criminals in our trial society. .”

Hearing the words 'two people' and 'internal wanted', Ling Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of Mo Fan who was running away with the black snake, and wondered if it was Mo Fan who rushed out just now.

While thinking about it, he felt a heavy pat on his shoulder.

Turning his head, the middle-aged man was putting his hands on his shoulders, and said carelessly: "Boy, you haven't said what you are bringing Xiao Lingling here for, this is not a good place. "

Ling Xiuyuan sighed helplessly: "I came here to do a mission. I just had dinner after entering the city. When I was looking for a suitable hotel, the town became chaotic, so I had to take her here to avoid it."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man burst out laughing.

"Hahaha……"

"Then you are really unlucky!"

After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing and reminded: "This is already the edge of the epidemic area, you must be careful to protect yourself so that you don't get infected."

Ling Xiuyuan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have already made full protection preparations before coming here."

While speaking, several powerful auras suddenly appeared in the small town. After they appeared, they rose into the sky and flew straight out in one direction.

The intensity of these breaths is not low, the lowest one is also a high-level mage, and the leading one should even be a super-level mage.

And I don't know if it was Ling Xiuyuan's illusion, but he actually felt that super-level breath gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he had felt it somewhere recently.

And the super mages he came into contact with recently were all attendees of the meeting at noon.

But didn't you say there was an emergency meeting in the afternoon?

Ling Xiuyuan recalled a little, and after recalling the owner of that aura, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "The palace guards are here too?"

"Who knows?" The middle-aged man waved his hands angrily.

"You have never seen the virtues of those people. They pick at us every day, as if they have some deep hatred with us."

"So, when it's not necessary, we simply ignore their movements, and let's be out of sight and out of mind."

The corners of Ling Xiuyuan's mouth twitched slightly. With regard to the situation between Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong, it would be a ghost if the subordinates could live in harmony.

His eyes flickered slightly, and there was an urge to follow and take a look in his heart, but after weighing it, he gave up the idea.

Judging from the direction this group of people are going, they should be chasing the two passers-by who are suspected of being Mo Fan. He will not be of much help if he follows up, but will put himself in an embarrassing situation.

When the time comes, the two groups of people will fight. Will he go up to help, or not, and which side will he help?
If he helps Mo Fan, he won't be able to beat that super rank, and if he helps those palace guards, they don't need him to help.

So, simply stay here and wait and see what happens. Anyway, according to the development of the original book, Mo Fan should finally send the black snake away smoothly.

Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Ling Xiuyuan and Lingling went straight into the temporary conference room built by tents, and found a corner to watch the healing mages, arguing and researching on the topic of the plague. .

Listening to what the mages said, those complex and convoluted professional terms, Ling Xiuyuan felt that he was back in the school classroom, only felt a burst of sleepiness, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.

Lingling's eyes lit up at the side, and she even took out a small tablet from her small schoolbag, and recorded something on it from time to time.

Just when Ling Xiuyuan was about to fall asleep, a series of landing sounds outside the tent dispelled his brewing drowsiness.

Awakened from the mist, and didn't want to stay here to listen to the heavenly scriptures, Ling Xiuyuan walked outside the tent, intending to see what happened outside.

When he came outside, a refreshing cool breeze blew in his face, which lifted Ling Xiuyuan's spirits, and the remaining drowsiness in his mind disappeared without a trace.

Along with waking up, Ling Xiuyuan also felt the slightly depressing atmosphere in the air.

Looking around, I found that in the open space in front of the tent, a group of people were forming a circle, pointing at the whole center, and discussing something in low voices with each other and the people around them from time to time.

He walked forward curiously, wanting to see what rare species it was, and attracted most of the people in the camp.

Walking to the edge of the crowd, Ling Xiuyuan looked inside, only to realize that he really knew the rare species surrounded by people inside!

In the center of the crowd, a humanoid creature was tied up and placed in the central open space.

This creature is incredible, the only one in the world.

what is it then……

In the demon experiment, the only surviving and successful case, one of the candidates for the evil king of the shadow plane, and the only surviving demon blood in the world today - Mo Fan.

Ling Xiuyuan looked around, and soon found an acquaintance among the crowd, the middle-aged man who led him at night.

He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him, and then replied in a low voice: "This is one of the two people who punched the card at night. The group of palace guards made such a big show just now, just to catch them."

Ling Xiuyuan looked around when he heard the words, and asked, "Then there is another person?"

"Run away." The middle-aged man's tone was relaxed, and there was a little gloating in it.

"Originally, they were all captured, but the boy in front of him suddenly exploded. He caught those people by surprise, and made the other one seize the opportunity and run out."

Ling Xiuyuan looked strange, and said in a low tone: "A group of high-level mages led by super-level mages were caught off guard by a middle-level mage and let another run away. Is this a fairy tale?"

"Ha!" The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing.

"Who says it's not? This time, the faces of those palace guards have really been completely humiliated."

Ling Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then slowly frowned.

Mo Fan's rapid burst of power caused certain troubles to the super mage. The only possibility he could think of was that the demonic blood in Mo Fan's body boiled under a certain stimulus, causing a short-term demonization.

This means that Mo Fan does have demon blood remaining in his body, and it is not stable, which is a very dangerous sign.

Moreover, he had just survived the aftereffects of Xuelizi a while ago, and this time the outbreak again, he does not know what kind of adverse effects it will have on his body.

Thinking of this, he raised his leg and walked towards Mo Fan.

　Today's daily challenge, the challenge failed!
