Guo Beicheng.
In the study of the City Lord's Mansion.
Arrester Tan knelt on one knee and reported what Wang Zhuang had seen and heard.
A middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura sat on the throne. There was no excess emotion on his square face.
The moment this person sat down, a dignified aura assaulted his face.
Needless to say, he had been in a high position for a long time. This person was Guo Beicheng's city lord, Yuan Cheng Bi. He had won the title of top scholar many years ago and was famous in the entire Nanlin Dynasty.
He could be said to be the most illustrious person in the southeast!
He was staring at the half-twisted head on the table without saying a word. The atmosphere in the study was particularly solemn.
After a while, he sighed faintly.
"Troubled times…"
Zheng Cai said to Arrester Tan.
"Get up and talk."
"Yes."
Constable Tan stood up and heard City Lord Yuan Cheng Bi say.
"Tell me what you think."
When he asked this question, he was still looking at the head on the table, as if he was just asking casually.
Constable Tan answered very seriously.
"Milord, in my humble opinion, this matter is extraordinary.”
"Oh?"
"Although the matter of demons is rare, there have been many rumors in recent years. However, there are rarely such crazy things. Usually, demons only harm a few people and then hide. However, this time, it seems that someone deliberately did it!”
Yuan Cheng Bi finally shifted his gaze to Constable Tan and said in a strange tone.
"Continue."
"This humble servant rushed over and recalled the scene at that time.”
Constable Tan lowered his head and didn't see the change in Yuan Cheng Bi's expression.
"Those demons have the ability to bewitch people's minds, and it's impossible to guard against them. Although I couldn't move when my mind was bewitched, I could still sense that the demons 'minds were in chaos.
"With such a method, it would be very difficult to harm the entire village without anyone noticing.
"But there are no traces of fighting in the manor. It's as if everyone was killed at the same time.
"Moreover, that demon's thoughts are extremely singular. It has been feeding us information that has been fused into one.
"That feeling was extremely strange. Now that I think about it, it was like…"
He thought for a moment and said firmly.
"That monster is like a baby that hasn't grown up yet. We are its nutrients…"
The more he spoke, the more he felt that it made sense, and the fatigue on his face faded a little.
"Yes, that manor is like a big garden. Every household is a flower seedling. Because it hasn't grown up yet, it hasn't come out to harm anyone!”
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining.
"Milord, now is the best time to eliminate that demon. I believe that with the senior monk's strength, he should be able to hold on for a while!”
A smile appeared on Yuan Cheng Bi's rigid face. He walked in front of Constable Tan and patted the latter's shoulder, praising him with admiration.
"Not bad, you're not bad!"
"Milord, you praise me too much."
"Haha, I admire talents like you.”
Yuan Cheng Bi seemed to be very happy as he walked past Constable Tan to the door.
"Come, walk with me."
Constable Tan was stunned.
How could he delay at a time like this?
Wasn't it said that City Lord Yuan was decisive and loved his people like his own children?
However, no matter how anxious he was, he did not dare to refuse and could only follow silently.
The two of them walked along the vast city lord's mansion, chatting about some unimportant things.
Constable Tan felt uneasy, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Yuan Cheng Bi only stopped when the two of them passed through the backyard and arrived in front of the rockery in the back garden. He reached out and knocked on the rockery.
Kalala…
The fake mountain in front of him had actually cracked open to reveal a secret passage that led underground!
Constable Tan instantly became alert, and his palms broke out in cold sweat.
Something was wrong!
How could I know about such a secret place?
Why?
What was going on?
However, he couldn't see Yuan Cheng Bi's expression.
The imposing aura from before had long disappeared, replaced by an extremely sinister and strange expression!
"Come, come, come, come in quickly…"
A sinister and evil voice suddenly sounded.
Constable Tan's hair stood on end!
This voice was too familiar!
When he was bewitched by the demon, he had heard the same words, word for word!
Just as he was about to explode, an even more terrifying scene appeared.
Yuan Cheng Bi, who was standing in front of him, did not move, but his head turned 180 degrees!
"Monster!"
Constable Tan was so shocked that his guts were about to split apart. He let out a loud shout.
The reaction of a second-rate expert was vividly displayed at this moment. He drew his saber and slashed horizontally in an instant. A cold light flashed, and the hundred-tempered steel saber went straight for Yuan Cheng Bi's head.
Constable Tan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A cold aura instantly entered his body. He lost control of his body again and stood stiffly on the spot.
Only his eyes were filled with anger!
Kacha!
It wasn't the neck that was broken, but the steel blade that had been tempered hundreds of times!
Yuan Cheng Bi's lips curled up slightly and he smiled disdainfully.
He faced Constable Tan, but his body continued to move forward. The scene was so strange that it was indescribable.
Arrester Tan followed him into the secret passage like a zombie.
There was an incomparably huge hole underground. As soon as he entered, a fragrance assaulted him.
Yuan Cheng Bi greedily took a breath and then smiled with satisfaction.
"Since you took the initiative to come to my door, I'll tell you something.”
