18. Underground outlets

Soon after Lin Lingling and Qi Qiong left, Guo Qiqi found a wet feather from a willow branch in a drooping river, the color of grass green, perhaps because the color was too similar to the willow branch, the policemen who came and went in a hurry did not find it, and Guo Qiqi also saw it by chance.

He stared at this feather, the overall appearance was similar to that of ordinary bird feathers, and since Qi Qi was not an expert in this area, he could not distinguish whether it belonged to a normal feather, a down feather, or a fine feather. He carefully placed it in the ziplock bag he carried with him. In recent days, in order to collect all kinds of mucus, he has purchased many test tubes, measuring cups and ziplock bags from the Internet.

Stuffing the ziplock bag into his backpack, he searched around the crime scene again, but found no additional finds.

The police who rushed to the scene of the crime had already taken away all the evidence on the surface, because they did not know whether the perpetrator was a human or a demon, and the crime scene was on campus, and the police's long-term stay was easy to cause criticism and panic among the students, so they just left after doing a simple evidence collection at the crime scene.

Some of them stayed at the school to interrogate the people involved, and some of them took the evidence back to the police station for further examination, and if it was confirmed that the monster committed the crime, then the case would be handed over to the nearest city guard.

Before Luo Yu said that she only had one class in the afternoon, he was going to wait for her to finish the class and ask her if she had any information about the first "couple" who died. Lu Xiaohan mentioned yesterday that she and Luo Yu are both members of the drama club, and they both know the two people who died.

Ten minutes later, Guo Qiqi came to the first cafeteria, there were not many people in the cafeteria, lunch time had passed, and everyone who should have gone to class had already gone to class. He casually found a seat and sat down, waiting for Luo Yu to get out of class, while replaying the video materials sent by Guo Yanqing in his mind. To others, he looked like he was in a daze.

……

……

"What are you bringing me here for?"

Qi Qiong looked at the large shopping mall in front of him, and the flow of people as far as his eyes could see, the white-collar workers who worked near here were eating lunch quickly, and the middle-aged and elderly people were drinking afternoon tea under the sun umbrella. Located northwest of Mito University, this large shopping mall is the only place for students to have fun on weekends and weekends, and they usually come here for singing, eating, and watching movies.

Qiqiong is no stranger to this place.

"Aren't you going to be a demon hunter?"

Lin Lingling didn't look back, strode into the mall, Qi Qiong hurriedly followed, in the eyes of others, they were like a pair of brothers and sisters, but Qi Qiong felt that Lin Lingling was the elder sister, he was the younger brother, this yellow-haired girl has always behaved sophisticated and mature, every move has a deep meaning, he can't see through her, he can only honestly follow her command.

"What the hell do demon hunters do?" Qi Qiong said, "Is it just hunting monsters and then taking a bounty? Isn't that enough for the City Guards?"

Lin Lingling nodded and shook his head: "The two are similar, but not the same, to sum it up, the demon hunters are freer, but they are also more dangerous, and the city guards are more restrained, but they are also safer." Secondly, the hunt of the Demon Hunter has a personal purpose, while the hunt of the City Guardian is purely to guard the community. ”

"Who makes more money?" Qi Qiong's eyes glowed green.

Lin Lingling glanced at him, "Of course, there are more demon hunters, but this bowl of rice is not so delicious, you have to have the strength to take charge of the force, the psychology of not being chaotic in the face of danger, the meticulous observation, the insight of the strong and refined way, in the end, you have to be bold, I think you want to be a demon hunter, and this last point alone cannot be satisfied." ”

"I said it all, it was a mistake, a mistake!

It's big!" Qi Qiong was tired of proving himself.

After a pause, he suddenly scratched his head and asked coldly: "I'm a little curious, if it's a humanoid monster, can it become a demon hunter?

Lin Lingling was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, took out a lollipop from nowhere, tore open the package and stuffed it into her mouth, the shape of the ball rolled around on her cheeks, and after a while, with a grunt, she spit it out, frowning: "That's a good question, no one has ever thought about it, but why do humanoid monsters want to become demon hunters?

"Probably...... Have you ever heard of a vote?"

"Oh, I see. Lin Lingling nodded, "I suddenly thought of something to refute you just now, a humanoid monster can't become a demon hunter, the reason is that it is extremely fragile when it is in human form, all its abilities are concentrated in the demon form, if it wants to hunt demons, it must first turn itself into a demon form." After all, according to current research, youkai, including monsters in human form, are not human beings after all, and they can't communicate with the psionic world, which means that they can't become psionics, and an ordinary person who wants to hunt demons is just killing himself unless he's as smart as me. ”

"Is that so?" Qi Qiong was stunned, then lowered his head thoughtfully and stopped talking.

In silence, the two walked to a suit store, where a dazzling array of suits were hanging.

Qi Qiong's face was puzzled, "Why, when the demon hunter still has to buy himself a decent suit, aren't you afraid to tear it when the demon hunt?" He casually picked up a suit and looked at it, and when his eyes swept over the price tag, the whole person shuddered, just now...... I didn't count it, but it was a lot, and this suit was enough for him to live for a year!

"That...... Or I'm not right......"

Qi Qiong spoke cautiously, not that he was gutsless, but he really had no money.

"Don't be embarrassed there!" Lin Lingling glared back at him, "Come here!"

Qi Qiong walked over with a sad face, and Lin Lingling took out the silver card that he had seen before, and handed it to the salesman.

The salesman originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw this card, his face was serious, he leaned forward and took it respectfully with both hands, "Please wait for a while." ”

Qi Qiong thought that the silver card was a credit card, and his face became even more ugly, like eating a fly, his dignified seven-foot man was reduced to the point of eating soft rice, and he was also eating the soft rice of a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up, if this was known by his friends, how would it be...... Envy!

"This ...... Not really?" Qi Qiong said embarrassedly, "After all, we are only meeting for the first time, so it is really a waste of money for you to spend money for me like this." ”

Lin Lingling was holding a lollipop in his mouth, and when he heard the voice, he looked up at him, "Are you crazy?"

There was a voice in front of him, and the salesman returned the silver card to Lin Lingling, then took off a navy blue suit from the hanger and led the two to the fitting room.

"Go in!" Lin Lingling looked at the twisted Qi Qiong impatiently.

Qi Qiong gritted his teeth, and finally succumbed to the money offensive and turned into the fitting room like a little daughter-in-law.

Before he could take off his coat, the door was opened again, and Lin Lingling walked in angrily, his little head raised and glared at him, "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing!" Qi Qiong didn't know why.

"What does it mean to shut me out?"

"I need to change my clothes......" Qi Qiong felt innocent.

"Who told you to change your clothes!" Lin Lingling held his forehead helplessly, "You don't think I really brought you here to buy clothes, right?"

"Or else?"

"Underneath this mall is an underground outlet of the Demon Hunter Gathering House in Puqing District, and this suit shop is the entrance. Lin Lingling patiently explained, and as she spoke, she raised her eyes, "Please pull down the hook on the back of your head, okay!"

Qi Qiong did it in a daze.

As the hook was pulled down, the sound of mechanical gears snapping together sounded in the wall, and after a few moments, the wall suddenly loosened and moved inward, revealing a narrow passage. Photographs hung on both sides of the passage, some in black and white, some in color, and the nameplate at the bottom was about them, all of whom were the high-level hunters who had appeared in the Demon Hunter Gathering Hall in Puqing District.

The scarlet ceiling, the walls, and the floor, illuminated by the light, flowed with a color between blood and roses.

Qi Qiong was so surprised that he couldn't imagine that behind the fitting room of a suit shop there was a hidden passage to another world. He subconsciously used his knowledge of architecture to analyze.

Lin Lingling had no expression on his face, and strode forward with his hands behind his back like a little adult.

The light splashed on her body, lining her like a witch in a fairy tale, Qi Qiong swallowed his spit, and quickly followed, the door closed behind him, and only the footsteps of the two of them could be heard in the passage, the former was light, the latter heavy.

"I don't understand what if someone really comes to buy a suit and happens to pull off the hook?"

"What to do? Pull it down, pull it down, this underground network is not an unsightly place, only you will be surprised. Do you think we live in a world of mystery hidden in the shadows of the mundane?"

Lin Lingling's words directly left Qi Qiong speechless.

Three minutes later, the two of them reached the end of the passage, which was not long, except for the first flat road, which was full of steps behind them, and they kept going down. A vast hall opens up, with intricate crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, glowing warm yellow, quaint wooden tables around them, and demon hunters sipping hard liquor while staring at the LED screens behind the quest counters.

A bewitching woman passed by Qi Qiong, Qi Qiong's eyes almost didn't stick to her, and she didn't reluctantly withdraw her gaze until she was far away.

"Don't look at it!" Lin Lingling pursed his lips, "I saw that there is no light crossbow tied to her left hand, there are not many demon hunters with long-range weapons these years, and even fewer women, she is one, she is the only female seven-star demon hunter in Puqing District, behind her is the Moon Goddess Demon Hunting Office, she is the boss, it is said that she has close contacts with many alchemy rooms in private, so the crossbow arrows used are all alchemy warheads, which can cause fatal damage to monsters." ”

"I don't know what she thinks of the prodigal son staring at her ass on the road, but if it were me, I'd find a chance to shoot you in one eye when you get out. Lin Lingling said coldly.

Qi Qiong shook his head and whispered, "Isn't it?" I just glanced at it casually, I am pursuing beauty!"

"Who knows?" Lin Lingling shrugged, "That's a female killer." ”

"It's illegal to kill someone!" Qi Qiong trembled with fear.

"I didn't kill anyone, it's just one eye, just pay some money, do you still want the judge to favor you between you and a demon hunter with great achievements?" Lin Lingling became more and more energetic as he spoke.

"I know you're scaring me!"

"Believe it or not. Lin Lingling left him and walked to the task counter, and said to the smiling staff, "I want to release the task." ”
