Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Demon of Trouble

"Hmmm...... Roarβ€”β€”!!

In the face of Zero Abyss's questioning, the response of the "driver's bodyguard" in front of him who revealed his original form was still only roaring and struggling, like a brainless beast, which surprised Zero Abyss.

"What's the matter, can't you even speak after changing back to your original form?"

Ling Yuan looked at the scorpion demon in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly. He stepped forward and stared at the red-eyed demon, his palms glowing with silver.

"It's useless to pretend to be deaf and dumb, I have a way to get you to speak. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed, and several bands of light suddenly drilled out of the silver light in his palm, instantly twisting the body of the scorpion demon, and under the severe pain, the scorpion demon began to roar again, but still did not spit out half a word.

"Oh, don't you want to say it, if the physical pain is not enough, then add a little sting to your soul!"

Zero Yuan snorted coldly, and the silver light in his hand flashed again, and at the same time, the light bands on the scorpion demon's body also began to writhe like a poisonous snake, as if they wanted to drill into the body of the scorpion demon, but at this moment, Ling Yuan's face suddenly changed!

I saw that a circle of golden demon mist suddenly flashed around those silver-white light belts, which instantly corroded the light belts; not only that, those demon mist actually turned in momentum, and spread in the direction of Zero Abyss in the opposite direction, and it was about to erode into Zero Abyss's palm, the latter quickly let go when he saw this, and the string of demon mist immediately dissipated in the evacuated light belt.

"Ling Yuan, what's wrong?" Ye Han, who had been watching coldly, also noticed something strange and asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Puppet. ”

Zero Yuan stared at the rampaging scorpion demon, his eyes full of incredulity. "This demon has been deprived of half of its soul, and it is already a puppet that can be manipulated by others...... And the power to manipulate it is very unusual, just a slight touch causes a backlash. ”

"'Deprivation of the soul'? can you do such a thing?" Ye Han muttered softly, as if thoughtful. "It seems that the guy behind this curtain is not easy to deal with......"

"But either way, it shouldn't be possible to pry its mouth open. Ling Yuan said and put away his sword, turning his head to look at Ye Han beside Zhou Wentao. "What are you going to do with this situation?"

"Hmph, it's rare to cooperate with it in an 'action movie', it's too wasteful to let it go in vain, bring it back first, there is always a way to find information from it. Ye Han stared at the scorpion demon on the ground, and the successful completion of the plan made his eyes vaguely reveal some kind of strange excitement, and he didn't even notice the surprised eyes of Zhou Wentao looking at him on the side.

"Ye, Ye Han...... W-...... this?"

"Oops, I almost forgot about you. Ye Han patted his head, as if he had just remembered that there was another Zhou Wentao next to him, and turned his head and smiled. "I'm really embarrassed, Xiao Zhouzhou~ I didn't want to involve you, can you just act as if it didn't happen tonight?"

"......" Zhou Wentao looked at Ye Han, who was smiling as usual, and didn't even know what to say, all this that happened in just a few minutes made his head a little confused for a while.

"Actually, when I returned to China this time, I didn't just have to clean up the mess in my house. ”

Ye Han looked at the hideous scorpion demon, reached out and took off the headband in the middle of his hair, and the messy bangs hung down in front of him along the slightest drizzle, covering the cold eyes behind him.

"My one-eyed daddy died an unknown death, do you think I'll just give up?"

"Didu...... Didu ......

As he spoke, there were faint sirens on the silent coastal road, and Ling Yuan looked at the luxury car that had been blown into scrap metal on the side of the guardrail in front of him, and said:

"It's a bit of a commotion this time, and the 'aftermath guys' are coming, so we need to get out of here quickly. ”

As he spoke, Ling Yuan turned around and walked towards the scorpion demon bound by the spell, stretched out two fingers to gesture something, and said something in his mouth, as if he wanted to use a spell to take the scorpion demon away. Zhou Wentao on the side looked at the hideous monster fixedly, the strange situation in front of him strongly stimulated a certain memory of him, and he even felt that something seemed to be moving in the depths of his mind, gradually drilling out.

Monster...... There are still youkai in this world, but why do I ...... As if you already knew?

"Hmm!" a swelling pain exploded in the depths of his head again, and at that moment, a strange picture suddenly crossed Zhou Wentao's mind.

Elongated body, black scales, sharp fangs...... Some inhuman monster images emerged from the depths of Zhou Wentao's memory with heartfelt fear, and along with these memory fragments, there was a petite girl figure who protected him from the monster's bloody mouth.

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦ Idiot, don't be stunned here, run......

A familiar and unfamiliar girl's voice echoed in Zhou Wentao's mind, but the other party's appearance was always blurred, leaving only an empty silence flowing wantonly in his heart.

Zhou Wentao gasped, staggered up from the ground, his eyes were a little dazed, and Ye Han next to him began to take out his mobile phone and make a call, at this time, neither of them seemed to notice that a metal billboard not far from them was gradually detached and crumbling as if it was being pulled by something.

"Be careful!" Ling Yuan was the first to notice that something was wrong, and immediately interrupted the spell casting, leaving the scorpion demon and turning to jump up, kicking the falling billboard away in the air, but at the same moment, a blue flame suddenly flew out of the trees beside the avenue, but this time the target was not Ye Han, but rushed straight towards the scorpion demon!

"Howl β€”β€”!!"

The terrible screams suddenly echoed in the sky above the avenue, and the moment the blue flame touched the scorpion demon, the blue flames that rushed into the sky burst violently on the scorpion demon, and the poor puppet scorpion demon turned into ashes in the blink of an eye in the blue fireworks, dissipating in the breeze.

"Is this fire ......!?damn it!" Zero Yuan's face changed, and he turned his head and rushed in the direction where the flames came, only to see a black shadow flash through the trees, and when he caught up, the trace of the black shadow had long since disappeared.

"Tsk...... Where have you gone!" Zero Abyss gritted his teeth and looked around with a reluctant face, when he suddenly noticed that a crystal object seemed to have fallen from the ground in front of him.

"......" Ling Yuan squatted down and carefully picked up the small ruby earrings on the ground, frowning. At the same time, there were faint voices in front of me, as if the alarmed police had arrived.

"Just now, what ...... was that fire just now!" Zhou Wentao finally recovered from the previous shock, and hurriedly followed Ye Han forward, only to see that Ling Yuan had already stood up and withdrew the drawn long sword from its scabbard.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Someone secretly killed people, but unfortunately the man ran away. Zero Abyss said, looking up at the wreckage of the luxury car that had been blown into scrap metal, and then moving his gaze to the flickering siren in the distance. "'They' are coming, the evidence here has to be collected quickly, you guys get ready. ”

"......?" Zhou Wentao looked confused, not knowing what Ling Yuan's so-called "preparation" was, while Ye Han on the side had calmly taken out two balls of something from his pocket and stuffed them into his ears.

"Bang β€”β€”!"

The wrecked luxury car in front of him exploded violently again, and the shock wave set off rolled up the wreckage of the car with the assistance of a silver wind, pushing it into the vast sea in an instant; and Zhou Wentao, who was caught off guard, was suddenly affected, and then his ears rang and he fell to the ground.

"Uh-huh......!"

Zhou Wentao covered his ears and struggled to look ahead, in his shaky consciousness, he only felt that he seemed to be carried by someone, and the trivial words of Ye Han and Ling Yuan vaguely floated in his ears.

【…… Is it really okay for him to know so many things......]

【…… He won't say it...... I believe he ......]

[But he was involved this time, but it was not just as simple as erasing his memory by 'them', I'm afraid it would ......]

……

Erase ...... Memory......?

A severe headache broke out in Zhou Wentao's mind again, and in the gap of memory fragments, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a blood moon and the figure of a blue-haired girl sitting beside his hospital bed under the moonlight.

You...... Be?

His gaze gradually returned to ink, and Zhou Wentao's consciousness was blurred, and he finally fell into a comatose swamp.

-----------------------------

"I received five alarms, eight roads were damaged, and the panic caused by the explosion almost alarmed the media, but fortunately it was stopped in time......"

Yun Lan stood in front of Lu Jingyi and respectfully placed a large stack of materials on the desk in front of him.

"Some other follow-up processing is still in progress, but because the movement is too big this time, even the mayor's office and the police department have called to protest, it seems that the farce caused by the young master of the Ye family last night is all on our heads. ”

"Huh...... Ye Han, this kid, not only destroyed the evidence on the spot, but also did something to the roadside monitoring in advance, it seems that he is quite thoughtful. Lu Jingyi picked up the information and glanced at it, and smiled calmly. "I'm afraid he had long expected that we wouldn't be able to accuse him without evidence, so he was so emboldened to let us clean up the aftermath for him, and by the way, take the blame. ”

"But if it was really premeditated by him, then the nature of the matter has changed. There seemed to be a gloom in Yunlan's eyes. "Although we have no way of knowing what happened at the time, from the traces of the scene, this incident is like several other cases that have occurred across the country before, and there are traces of puppets and demons. ”

Yun Lan said as he flipped through another document in his hand and put it on the desk.

"Since the 'Game of Death' incident of the corpse dove, there has been an unusually high number of incidents of being haunted by soul-snatching puppet demons, and even if we dispatch manpower from all over the country to 'extinguish the fire' everywhere, this momentum still cannot be stopped, and the investigation of the 'Soul Stone' has not progressed. It's just strange that compared to the original 'Death Game Incident', these things have become more and more undisguised recently, so there are a lot of complaints from the top of the government......"

"Hmm...... However, it seems that the casualties caused by the recent incidents are very limited, and compared with the previous "Game of Death Incident" and "Yuanqiu Mountain Incident", it can only be regarded as a small fight, what does the person behind the scenes want to do......" Lu Jingyi flipped through the report and pondered.

"Even if it is a small fight, it still has caused great pressure on the manpower on our side, and now even the logistics department has been temporarily dispatched to participate in the 'fire fighting', and if this continues, I am afraid that the situation will get out of control, and we must quickly catch the mysterious person behind the scenes. "Yunlan is colorful. "And if this incident was intentional by Ye Han, then the degree of his involvement behind the incident is far greater than we imagined, combined with the black iron sword in the previous 'Yuanqiu Mountain Incident'...... I think it's time to start an investigation into the Ye family. ”

"But we don't have direct evidence to prove that the Ye family was involved in this series of events, you should know that with their background, they can't be moved without definite evidence. Lu Jingyi said calmly.

"But...... Are you going to let them go for nothing?"

"Don't worry, although there is no 'physical evidence' left behind last night's incident, there is a possible 'human witness', maybe we can get new information from that person. ”

"Human witness?"

"Yes. According to the investigation, when the incident happened last night, in addition to Ye Han and his guards, there was actually another person at the scene. ”

Lu Jingyi said, reached out and pushed the monospecular lens on her face, turned her head to look at the blue-haired girl who appeared at the door of the office, and spoke.

"But do you really plan to investigate this matter yourself? Qing Yu. ”

"Yes, Chief. Qing Yu's voice was resolute.

"I will personally get information from Zhou Wentao. ”
