Invincible from the prince

Imperial City, night falls.

The ‘demons and ghosts’ in the shadows all ran out, and they spread joy in the night and wreaked havoc in the imperial city.

The soldiers patrolling the imperial city received an urgent report and walked towards a civilian house on the edge of the imperial city.

The patrol leader pushed open the door and saw a creepy scene.

In front of him, scarlet, a skinned flesh and blood corpse hung under the beam, facing the door, as if to surprise the person who opened the door and entered.

The backbones of the soldiers who led the team instantly straightened, and a cool breath came from nowhere, and it was cold and swishing.

The commander kept his composure, silent on the surface, but his heart was raised, and a pair of eagle eyes carefully scanned the entire house.

Seeing that there was really no murderer hiding, the leader waved his hand to signal everyone to follow.

A group of people walked into the house and looked around, there was nothing special, except for the corpse under the beam.

“Check, who is he, and who has he had a feud with recently.”

The commander ordered.

A soldier answered.

It didn’t take long for the soldier who examined the corpse to hurriedly run over, and said in a hushed voice, “Commander, this, this, this corpse has tooth marks on it, the tooth marks are deep and pointed, it doesn’t look like a human being, but like some… The beast, the human skin on this is peeled off along that tooth mark. ”

Well?

The leader was stunned, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Without waiting for him to react, there were soldiers outside who urgently reported.

“Rule! A corpse without a heart was found in a mansion two miles away, the corpse had a hollow heart, and from the surrounding marks, it seemed to have been penetrated by a long claw, and the heart was directly taken away. ”

！！！

Two words came to the mind of the leader:

Devil!

The claws dig out the heart, and the sharp teeth peel the human skin.

Demons!

But…… This is the Imperial City!

The imperial city is heavily guarded, the soldiers are naturally repelled by blood and murderous spirit, and the city gate is guarded by four major towns, how can the demons resist this line of defense and enter the city?

Unless, the demon did not come in through the line of defense, but walked in in the open!?

Doesn’t that mean that there are demons among the people who entered the city, and they helped them come in?

The leader’s expression completely sank.

“Immediately go to report to His Highness, just say that traces of suspected demons have been found in the Imperial City!”

“Yes!”

……

Linyuan Palace.

After Zhang Mozhi followed Su Yuan, he was sent to the Criminal Department to find something for him to do, and the upper and lower relations all greeted him, and he was quite prosperous and became a representative figure of the Ninth Prince’s faction… Although now the Ninth Prince faction is only him.

Zhang Mozhi, who had some fame in the Criminal Department, struck while the iron was hot and hurried to the top, and he hadn’t come to see Su Yuan for several days in recent days, and Su Yuan was also happy.

However, Su Yuan’s quiet days were not long broken, and the urgent report from the defenders of the imperial city made him frown.

“A demon that eats human hearts, and a demon who specializes in picking human skins?”

The defender of the imperial city said, “Exactly!” ”

“We searched overnight last night and found seven bodies that had been skinned and five others who had no hearts. A total of 12 people were killed. ”

The implication is that there may be more if it is not found.

“How can you be sure it’s a demon?”

“Back to Your Highness, these corpses all have a common feature, that is, they do not look like traces left by man! Each corpse is either a tooth mark of a beast or a mark of a claw. ”

“And we have inquired that all of them have never had a vendetta with anyone before their death, and they have not lost any property after death, it is not like man-made.”

“What do the four town guards say?”

“The four town guards said that they did not sense any demon qi breaking through into the city, and none of the patrols under their command noticed anything abnormal.”

The defender said, “So Lord Zhenshou guessed that the demons could not have forcibly entered the city at night, the only possibility is that the demons mixed in with ordinary people during the day and were covered and protected into the city.” ”

Su Yuan’s eyes deepened, “Have you found any traces of demons?” ”

“Last night, the incident occurred in the area outside the city outside the east of the city, and Lord Dongmen and his commanders are strictly investigating that area, and no traces of suspected demons have been found so far.”

The guard continued, “During the day, the sun is heavy, the demons are almost inactive, and their hiding ability is strong, and Lord Zhengshou thinks that I am afraid that I can only gain something at night.” ”

“Keep checking.”

Su Yuan waved his hand to signal the guard to retreat.

On the side, the maid Red Sleeve said worriedly, “Your Highness, this demon has entered the imperial city, could it be that there is a problem with the four-sided defense line?” ”

Demon, a strange creature that exists in this world, is cunning and murderous by nature, has strange abilities, low thinking ability, is difficult to communicate, kills when he sees people, and has bloody habits, such as peeling, eating hearts, etc., is a foreign object for demons, which has greatly threatened the lives of ordinary people. In places infested with demons, there are often cases of slaughtering villages and destroying towns, and even breaking cities.

After the establishment of Daxia, the founding emperor drove most of the demons out of the border of Daxia, and also carried out a major cleanup inside, killing most of the demons and minimizing the threat, and then sent heavy troops on the four-sided border to lay a defensive line to suppress it, preventing foreign attacks while isolating the demons.

In the nearly 1,000 years since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, demons have rarely happened to harm people, and most of them have occurred in remote places.

Like this imperial city demon, it is still the first time to break the sky!

No wonder Red Sleeves are worried.

Su Yuan said, “If there is a problem with the four-sided defense line, there will already be an urgent report to the Imperial City. ”

“Now this imperial city demon is just some sinister little people who deliberately come to muddy the waters.”

After speaking, Su Yuan ordered again, “Go and prepare the carriage, you have to go out of the palace alone.” ”

Demons, this strange creature is rare.

It happened that the palace was stuffy, and Su Yuan wanted to go and see the strangeness.

“No, Your Highness, how can you …”

“Go ahead.”

“…… Yes, sir. ”
