CHAPTER XXII

In the dimly lit room, a soft light shone through the cracks in the curtains, and the fine dust floated in the slender sunlight and swayed gently.

Bai Xing knelt on the ground, put his right hand on his left chest, and hung his head respectfully.

In front of him hangs a black curtain embroidered with a golden ornate pattern, behind which a pair of elaborate dark green high heels looms out.

A mature and distant female voice sounded from behind the curtain: "So that's why you want to get a search warrant?"

"Yes. Bai Xing's voice looked a little nervous.

The woman sighed softly and said, "Actually, you really shouldn't care about so many things. ”

Bai Xing leaned down, his nose almost touched the ground, the faint light outlined his resolute side face, his voice was very soft, but full of real longing, "Please the Western Demon Emperor." No one dares to give me a search warrant for Fengshan, I can only ask you. ”

"Okay. A woman's voice stood up from behind the curtain, "I'll give it a try, after all, the affairs of the Kishu Pavilion have always been very sensitive, and I can't make my own decisions." ”

"Thank you very much. Bai Xing still maintained the same position as before, and fine sweat appeared on his sideburns.

He listened to the sound of high heels getting closer and closer, and then drifting farther and farther away.

Suddenly, the voice stopped not far behind him.

The woman's voice came again, "I want you to remember who you are, and don't bother the red moon." ”

"Yes. ”

The woman left, and Bai Xing straightened up and sat on the ground, one leg bent on the knee, and put his hand on the knee casually, looking very pained.

The sun shone on the back of his hand, and the cyan veins bulged, as if something was about to move inside.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled and a self-deprecating smile appeared, his situation was really not suitable for coming to the demon world.

Bai Xing dragged his tired body to Xia Yitong's house, he needed a place to rest now, and he couldn't be seen by other demon hunters.

But thinking of Hao Yile's matter, he didn't dare to use any more force on the hand he held on the doorknob, maybe Xia Yitong still hated him to the bone, and what qualifications did he have to come to her to rest.

He slowly lowered his hand, and was about to turn to leave, when the door suddenly opened inward, and a bright smile appeared in front of him, and Bai Xing immediately looked at him with a hostile face, and quietly put his hand into his pocket.

The smile on Tao Ziyi's face froze.

Bai Xing snorted and fell to the ground.

Xia Yitong took the hot milk handed over by Tao Ziyi and handed it to Bai Xing lying on the sofa.

Bai Xing snorted coldly and took it, looked at Tao Ziyi vigilantly and asked, "Why is he here?"

I didn't understand why Bai Xing was always full of hostility towards Tao Ziyi, Xia Yitong smiled and said, "He is my guest, Tao Ziyi has taught me a lot of witchcraft these days, and we are friends now." ”

Bai Xing's expression showed a little nervousness, "Hexel, friend, a half-demon like you, who is extremely weak, doesn't need those things, just a weapon." He accentuated the words "extremely weak demonic power" and observed the subtle changes in the expression on Tao Ziyi's face.

But his expression was still smiling, and anyone looked good-looking and kind, "Yes, her demon power value is too low, it's terrifying, it's your relative." Tao Ziyi said.

Bai Xing snorted coldly again, drank all the milk in his hand, and chose not to pay attention to him.

"Huh. Xia Yitong smiled awkwardly, thinking about how to break the hostile attitude between the two of them.

"Why don't I bring the table over and let's eat together, I made a delicious table today to thank Tao Ziyi." Xia Yitong proposed, and the corner of Lala Taoziyi's clothes motioned for him to move the table with her.

"No need. Bai Xing interrupted the movements of the two and sat up with the back of the sofa, "I'll go over by myself." ”

But as soon as he stood up, his tall body couldn't help but shake, and Xia Yitong hurriedly ran over to support him.

Tao Ziyi also immediately ran over and held the other side attentively, poked his head out to Xia Yi with a smile and said, "Hitomi, you see that the two of us don't seem to be helping our elderly father to dinner now." ”

"You ......"

Xia Yitong intercepted Bai Xing's words, "How can you take advantage of the two of us?"

The anger on Bai Xing's face eased a little, and he wanted to remind Tao Ziyi not to talk about today's incident, but he suddenly realized that he didn't want the demon hunter to know that he was in chaos after returning from the demon world, and the first thing to guard against was Tao Ziyi, and now it seems that it is meaningless to warn or not.

He sat down at the dining table, watching Tao Ziyi and Xia Yitong keep putting vegetables into his bowl, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

I can't help but think of many years ago, there was also a person who kept putting vegetables in his bowl because he was sick, and finally ended up on a small mountain.

In the evening, the sunlight had long since stopped shining into the Treasure Community, and the grassy community was a dull blue-gray, but the soft light from the window of the innermost building, the frolicking of boys and girls, and the angry and reproachful voice of a young man from time to time, suddenly brought the place to life.

A little yellow and white hamster, standing under that window, with a pair of small sparkling eyes, looked enviously...... Looking at it, the hair at the corners of the eyes became wet.

After three days of recuperation, Xia Yitong couldn't help but sigh, what kind of deep hatred did he have with Tao Ziyi, he must have wanted to be ruthless to Tao Ziyi at that time, so he was attacked so seriously by the enchantment.

Bai Xing stretched his waist, took out an envelope from behind his back, handed it to her, and said, "The salary of your previous case." ”

Xia Yitong took it happily and lit the hundred-yuan bill inside: "Wow! It's really rich, it's more than I imagined." ”

"That's it. Bai Xing raised his chin, "Of course you are better than you are a waiterβ€”"

Halfway through his speech, he saw her stop counting the money.

Bai Xing sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't apply for a search warrant from Fengshan this time, but after a while, I still have a chance to get it." ”

She smiled at him and said, "It's okay, I'm also responsible for that." She put away the money, cheered up and said, "I believe that I can always find some clues in future cases, and I will definitely punish the evil demon and avenge Zuo Yuming and Hao Yile." ”

Bai Xing sat down with a smile, unfolded a virtual screen on the table and said, "I was about to talk to you about this matter, I received a case that required me to go out in person, and I decided to take you with me." ”

Xia Yitong leaned over and saw that he had unfolded a map of China, with two-thirds of the provinces on the map marked with red dots of light.

"These are all places where people have disappeared recently, although there will be cases of missing people in every province every month, but the people who have disappeared recently are all half-demons with about five percent of demon blood. Bai Xing said.

"A half-demon with five percent demon blood, what does this mean?" Xia Yitong asked.

"This means that the blood concentration of these missing half-demons is very low, and if there are no special circumstances, then the chance of them turning into a monster is almost zero, but there may be a special meaning for the person who captives them. ”

"Could it have something to do with what you said earlier, there is an organization dedicated to finding humans who have just been transformed into half-demons? ”

Bai Xing nodded, "It's very likely, and if they took away the transformed half-demon before, but now they have only about five percent of the demon blood and the untransformed half-demon, then it is possible that they are doing some experiment, and this experiment has already made great progress." ”

Xia Yitong showed a puzzled expression, "What experiments do they do, why do they do experiments?"

Bai Xing leaned back in his chair, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, spat out the smoke ring, and asked her, "How are you studying world history?"

"Huh?" Xia Yitong touched his bangs, "It's so-so." ”

"Do you know anything about World War II?"

"About a hundred years ago. ”

"That's right, about a hundred years ago, Germany wanted to create a super army that was not afraid of pain and tirelessness, and started the 'Fountain of Life' project, coincidentally, in fact, every country wants to have such an army in battle, and some of the extremists among the monsters took the opportunity to coax humans to use the hundred bone grass to create a large number of hundred bone grass demons for experiments, wanting to take the opportunity to expand their own power. ”

"The Demon of the Hundred Bone Grass?"

"Yes, I should have mentioned to you before that it is a kind of demon that is transformed by humans after taking the Hundred Bone Grass, which is extremely powerful and difficult to control, with a madness rate of thirty percent, a mortality rate of sixty-five percent, and only about five percent of human beings can successfully fuse, but there is still the possibility of being eaten by the demon power in the body after that. ”

"It sounds like a low success rate, and it's powerful, but aren't the people who created it afraid of being attacked?"

Bai Xing's voice was suddenly full of anger and said, "You are right, they have been attacked, and they have also been punished. During World War II, the Demon Army of the Hundred Bone Grass they formed killed not only many humans, but also many innocent demons, including the first person to create them. So now I'm guessing they're trying to experiment with half-demons first, hoping to create obedient monsters. ”

Xia Yitong's mouth was half open in surprise, she didn't expect that the kind of bridge that only appeared in science fiction movies was really done by crazy people.

"Don't you have a demon realm, why do they want to expand their sphere of influence in the human realm? ”

"Do you think that these monsters who created a massacre and caused few monsters left in the human world, how many of them have no previous convictions and left the human world, and the demon world can tolerate them?"

Xia Yitong suddenly felt that whether it was the Qishu Pavilion or the Demon Realm, they were actually very righteous and peace-loving.

"But it's all just my guess. Bai Xing extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and continued, "Those monsters who have committed crimes, want to survive in the human world, and they can't suppress their ambitions, so they naturally want to develop their own power, after all, power is equal to money." ”

"White Torture ......" Xia Yitong suddenly asked, "So you were born during World War II, right? Listening to your tone, you experienced that war?"

Bai Xing looked into her eyes and stopped talking, he had a lot to tell her, he wanted to ask her if she remembered, he wanted her to find that person quickly, because if he couldn't find that person, he might ......

"Huh. Bai Xing laughed self-deprecatingly, but if he did, the curse on his body would kill him instantly.

"I lived through World War II. ”

"Oh my God, you're over a hundred years old!" Xia Yitong stood up in shock, "The half-demon really looks young. ”

Bai Xing shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

Xia Yitong looked at him adoringly, she had always had deep respect for the heroic role.

"What kind of monster are you?"

"I'm ......," he chuckled, adjusting his seat, "I'll tell you later." ”
