Start by summoning the succubus

Chapter 271 The seal that is constantly being pried?

Bamboo loft.

Qi Lin, Irena, Catherine, and Tang Haoyuan returned here from the blacksmith shop, went up to the second floor, and came to the innermost room on the second floor.

At this time, the wooden door of this room was tightly closed, and the whole room seemed ordinary. However, if you look carefully, you can notice that there is a powerful magic that has enveloped the entire room - the sealing magic arranged by Tang Haoyuan.

"Buzz!"

Tang Haoyuan walked to the door, raised his hand, and the surface of the wooden door lit up with purple brilliance and many strange purple-blue runes.

As he cast a spell to open the seal, the wooden door automatically opened.

"Ok?"

Inside the house, Daisy was sitting at the table with her back to the door, as if she was drawing or something. At this moment, she felt the movement of the seal being lifted, and then looked back.

As for Liu Jingyun, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating and practicing. At this time, she also opened her eyes and looked at Qi Lin and others standing at the door.

"Forehead……"

Qi Lin couldn't help but look at her one more time.

Because Liu Jingyun is now bald.

Her original hair was all replicas of Joshua's hair, and Tang Haoyuan felt that it was not safe to keep these things related to Joshua on her body, so as early as the day she was placed under house arrest, all of her hair had been removed. Tang Haoyuan was drained.

But it has to be said that as long as the appearance is good enough, a bald head is still acceptable.

"Why are you here?"

Daisy put down the charcoal in her hand and looked at Qi Lin, Tang Haoyuan and others in surprise, "You are finally willing to believe us and are ready to let us out?!"

"No, you think too much."

Tang Haoyuan walked into the house with a straight face and an expressionless expression.

Qi Lin, Irena, and Catherine also walked in.

Then Tang Haoyuan waved his hand and cast a spell again, closing the seal of the entire room again, and the wooden door also closed accordingly.

"Ask you something."

Tang Haoyuan looked at Liu Jingyun who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and asked in a deep voice: "You said before that Joshua's hair can sense the remnant soul of Joshua, and will change once it is nearby. It can serve as a reminder. I didn’t ask too specifically at the time. Now, tell me, what is this reaction specifically like?”

"Forehead……"

Liu Jingyun frowned when he heard this, "Instructor Tangyuan, what happened? Did those hair strands react?"

"I'm asking you, not you asking me." Tang Haoyuan said calmly.

"Ok."

Faced with the indifferent attitude of instructor Tangyuan, Liu Jingyun could only say helplessly: "Joshua's hair, once it senses Joshua's remnant soul, will emit a strong blood demon aura.

And my teacher specially arranged sealing magic for the box where the hair was stored.

This sealing magic will detect the condition of the hair. Once it is detected that the hair suddenly emits the blood demon aura, the seal of the box will be triggered, causing the box to vibrate and glow. "

"like this?"

After hearing this, Tang Haoyuan's expression turned extremely ugly. He took out an exquisite silver-white jewelry box from the space ring on his left hand.

At this time, the box was vibrating slightly, and golden lines lit up on the surface of the box, accompanied by looming golden runes.

Vibrate and glow.

This state is completely consistent with Liu Jingyun's introduction.

"My God!"

Seeing this scene, Daisy suddenly screamed with panic on her face, "What, what, what does this mean?! Joshua's remnant soul is near us now?!"

"How, how is it possible?!"

Liu Jingyun also had a look of disbelief on her face and said in confusion: "Why is this happening? It obviously didn't respond a few days ago? But we have been on Blood Crow Island all the time. Why did it respond now after it didn't respond before? Could it be that Blood Pool The location is not fixed, but always moving? And now the blood pool has moved to the vicinity of Blood Crow Island?!"

"..."

As soon as Liu Jingyun finished speaking, the box in Tang Haoyuan's hand stopped vibrating, and the golden lines and golden runes on the surface disappeared, returning to stillness.

"Stopped again?"

Daisy was taken aback.

"It's not vibrating all the time." Tang Haoyuan said, "Ten minutes ago, I was teaching in the school, and I suddenly found that the box was vibrating inside my space ring, but it was not vibrating all the time, but intermittently. The earthquake only lasts for a few seconds every few tens of seconds, and it has been almost like this from just now to now."

"Intermittent?"

Liu Jingyun got out of bed and paced back and forth in the room, lost in thought, "Why is it intermittent? The teacher said that once Joshua's remnant soul is sensed in Joshua's hair, it will emit a rich fragrance. The blood demon's breath was detected by the seal of the box and vibrated and glowed.

In this process, there is almost no possibility of false triggering.

But why does it vibrate intermittently?

In other words, the seal of the box will detect that Joshua's hair is emitting the blood demon's breath every tens of seconds... To be more precise, it is Joshua's hair that, every tens of seconds, Will it sense that Joshua's remnant soul is nearby?Why is this happening? "

Liu Jingyun thought for a while, and the look of doubt on her face became more intense.

However, Daisy looked at the drawing paper, charcoal pencils, and paint pots on the table, blinked, and then hesitated: "Well, um, I suddenly thought of another possibility."

"Ok?"

Liu Jingyun, Qi Lin and others all looked at the green-haired female elf.

"It's just, it's just a guess."

Daisy scratched her head and said hesitantly: "Perhaps, we can understand the breath of Joshua's remnant soul as a smell, and his hair can smell this smell at a certain distance.

It is well known that the closer you are to the source of an odor, the clearer it is.

But there is another situation, that is, the source of the odor becomes more intense and the odor is emitted in a wider range, so that we can clearly smell the smell even if we are far away... Well, take this paint as an example Bar. "

Daisy said this and picked up a covered clay pot from the table next to her.

These paint pots are local products from Blood Crow City. The Blood Crow people like murals very much. Their murals and graffiti can be seen everywhere in the city. Therefore, they have realized the self-production and sale of pigments very early. However, due to the problem of raw materials, The smell of these paints is very pungent.

When Qi Lin was wandering around the walled city before, he saw Blood Crow tribesmen working on murals several times, but the smell of the paint... Tsk, it was even worse than the undried paint.

"I opened the lid."

After Daisy said that, she opened the lid of the can of paint in her hand.

Almost as soon as the lid was opened, a pungent and unpleasant odor emitted, filling the entire room in just a few seconds.

Qi Lin and others subconsciously covered their noses.

"Then I'll cover it again."

Dash replaced the paint can, sealing it.

Without the "continuous stench" of the paint cans, the pungent smell in the room quickly became lighter. If the windows were opened and the air was ventilated, it would probably be gone soon. "..."

Qi Lin, Liu Jingyun, Tang Haoyuan and others looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Daisy's examples are very clear and intuitive.

Paint - the remnant soul of Joshua.

Paint Pot and Lid - Joshua's Blood Pool Seal.

Temporarily open the lid - temporarily open the seal, or rather, temporarily pry open a corner of the seal.

After opening the lid, the smell that comes out of the paint is the scent of Joshua's remnant soul.

Qi Lin and others’ noses—Joshua’s hair.

Replace the lid to block out the smell - Joshua's blood pool seal is tightly sealed again to block out the smell of the remaining soul.

"so……"

Tang Haoyuan looked at the box where Joshua's hair was stored in his hand, then frowned and looked at Daisy, "You mean, right now, someone is trying to open the seal of Joshua's blood pool, and every dozens of seconds, he Will a corner of the seal be temporarily pried open, causing a large amount of Joshua's remnant soul to flow out into the Demon Sea and near Blood Crow Island, where it will be sensed by these hairs, so the box will have intermittent vibration reactions? "

"I told you, I was just guessing."

Daisy spread her hands and said helplessly: "Don't you and Qilin love talking about evidence the most? I don't have any evidence about this matter."

Obviously, she was complaining about Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan's move to put her and Liu Jingyun under house arrest in the room because she could not provide evidence to prove her innocence.

But at this moment, neither Qi Lin nor Tang Haoyuan was in the mood to deal with her dissatisfaction.

"Someone found the blood pool before you two, and is still breaking the seal..."

Tang Haoyuan glanced at Liu Jingyun and Dai Qian, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "So, what should we do now? Stop this? Or wait and see what happens?"

"How to stop it?"

At this time, Catherine, who had remained silent from beginning to end, slowly asked a question.

Qi Lin, Tang Haoyuan and others all looked at the succubus knight.

"We can't stop this from the air."

Catherine looked at Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan and said in a deep voice: "After all, if we don't even know where the person is, how can we stop him? So if we want to stop that person from continuing to pry the blood pool seal, we must first find the blood pool. , and only then can he stop his behavior.

But this means that we have to change our original strategy, from never looking for or contacting the blood pool, to actively looking for and contacting the blood pool... Master, Instructor Tangyuan, don't you think this is a little bit strange? ? "

"Ok?"

Qi Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hey, hey, hey, could it be you two who did something again?"

After hearing what Catherine said, Tang Haoyuan looked at Liu Jingyun and Daisy with suspicion on his face, "The box reacted for no reason, and then you made speculations to create the illusion that someone was prying the seal of the blood pool, thereby inducing us to stop it. This person went to find the blood pool, and finally achieved your goal of finding the blood pool... Well, the whole logical chain is very complete, and this box was given to you by Liu Jingyun. If you have any unknown means to remotely control the box, it will be very easy. Reasonable."

"What's reasonable!"

Liu Jingyun was so angry that she stamped her feet and glared at Tang Haoyuan angrily, "There's no need to accuse me of any crime! And! I didn't give the box to you, you took it away forcefully! And my hair, that's all You took it away by force. When did it become something I gave you?!
Instructor Tangyuan, you are too prejudiced against us now!
Even if I suddenly eat an extra bowl of rice now, you will probably suspect that Joshua has given me a portion of the devil's power, so my appetite has increased, right? ! "

“Prejudice doesn’t happen for no reason.”

Tang Haoyuan was expressionless and said calmly: "I admit that I am biased against you, and this bias does affect my subjective judgment of you two to a certain extent. However, Liu Jingyun, Daisy, I am biased against you two. , but you two did it yourself, didn’t you?”

"..."

Daisy shook her head helplessly.

Liu Jingyun was too lazy to tell him anymore.

"It's not necessarily a conspiracy hatched by Miss Liu Jingyun and Miss Daisy."

At this time, Catherine spoke slowly and said: "After all, with the strength of Miss Liu Jingyun and Miss Daisy, even if they find the blood pool, under our supervision, they will not be able to make any waves... Of course , and it is not ruled out that they have some special means to ignore our control and forcefully create something in the blood pool area.

This possibility also exists.

But I am more inclined to think that this matter has nothing to do with them, but a conspiracy created by Joshua.

He found that his master never touched his hair, never slept, never gave him a chance to dream, so he became anxious. He had already guessed that the master didn't want to save him, so he did these things and wanted to change his mind. method to induce the owner to go to the blood pool to rescue him.

This is my opinion.

Forehead……"

Catherine said this, looked at Tang Haoyuan, and then smiled helplessly, "Well, actually, this is also a subjective judgment influenced by prejudice. If Instructor Tang Yuan is prejudiced against Miss Liu Jingyun, then I am biased against Miss Liu Jingyun." A big devil like Joshua is biased, and I admit this, so I always think that Joshua is the one behind everything."

"Conspiracy, conspiracy."

Qi Lin leaned against the wall, looked at Tang Haoyuan, then at Catherine, and said in a deep voice: "One of you thinks it's Liu Jingyun's conspiracy, and the other thinks it's Joshua's conspiracy. Indeed, both possibilities exist, but Is there another possibility, that is, there is no conspiracy at all, but someone is really trying to break open the seal of the blood pool and try to release the remaining soul of Joshua?"

"..."

Tang Haoyuan and Catherine looked at each other in silence.

"I'm almost confused by what you said."

At this time, Irena, who had been quiet from beginning to end, raised her hand and scratched her pink hair vigorously, and then said helplessly: "Well, I just want to ask one thing, that is, what should we do now? What? After all, you see, the current situation is like this.

First, assuming that the speculations of Catherine and Tangyuan instructors are true, it is very simple. We should not pay attention to this conspiracy, and the matter ends here.

Second, assuming Qi Lin’s guess is true, then we must find the blood pool and prevent the other party from rescuing Joshua.

A big demon like Joshua would definitely be a disaster if released.

The most important thing is that he has his eyes on Qi Lin, and now he has probably discovered that Qi Lin does not want to save him. After all, Qi Lin has not touched his hair for so many days to take the initiative to find him, nor does he sleep to let Joshua When I came to find myself in a dream, it was obvious that I didn’t want to save him.

In this case, Joshua would definitely be unhappy with Qi Lin.

After all, for such a big devil, if I ask you to save me and you ignore me, then you have already met your end.

So if Joshua is really rescued, it is definitely possible to come over and kill Qi Lin to relieve his anger. Don't overestimate the mind of a devil. It's bullshit that a strong person doesn't care about the weak. Readers like to care about things the most!
As for how to kill a remnant soul?
I think it would be very easy for a terrifying being who was an eighth-level demon to kill even if there was only a trace of his soul left. After all, he was an eighth-level demon. Hey, eighth-level! Eighth-level! !In our hell, apart from those ninth-level hell kings, these eighth-level demons are the most terrifying! ! !

so……"

When Irena said this, she blinked her big pink eyes and looked at Qi Lin, then at Catherine and Tang Haoyuan, "What should we do now?"

"..."

The crowd was silent.

The room fell silent.

"No gambling!"

In the end, Qi Lin was the first to speak out, breaking the silence, "If Joshua is really released, the consequences will be unbearable for me, so I can't just sit back and wait and gamble that this won't happen. But take action to make sure this never happens!”

"What should I do?"

Tang Haoyuan gritted his teeth, his face full of confusion, "Do you really want to find the blood pool? See if there is really someone there to pry the seal? But if this is a conspiracy by Liu Jingyun or Joshua, and its purpose is to trick you into going there, then what? what to do?"
