Chapter 165: The Man Who Escaped
"Uncle Yun, this time...... Thank you so much. ”
Jiang Yao looked at the old gentleman in a suit who was leading the way in front and said gratefully.
"If it weren't for your timely arrival, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape from the encirclement of the Military Aircraft Department...... If I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to the door to thank you Miss Chen in person. ”
"Hehe, don't be so polite, it's us who should say thank you. Uncle Yun smiled. "What happened in the Chen family's mansion before, we owe you a favor, and now these are just a gesture. ”
"Speaking of which, why did the 'special forces' of the 'Military Aircraft Department' target this time? Could it be that they have been following me and Glutton?" Jiang Yao suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and his face suddenly became tangled.
"Hehe, they're going to bump into you, maybe it's just an accident. Because as far as I know, the 'original purpose' of their coming to Changyou Mountain this time is actually something else. ”
"......What was the purpose?"
"Don't you two know that something big has happened to Lingyutai recently. Uncle Yun looked at the gluttony, and suddenly the conversation changed. "The [Ghost Gate] opening incident a while ago, I think the two of you should have heard about it, right?"
"Hmm......" Jiang Yao replied vaguely, looking away uncomfortably. For the "Ghost Gate Catastrophe", he is not only "a little heard", but also a personal participant...... Although he did not want to talk about such an experience.
"That incident brought great trouble to the realm, especially to the human world, at that time, in order to hunt down the wandering puppet undead, Lingyutai had to send a large number of people to 'put out fires' everywhere, and even called in some troops of the garrison department because of the lack of manpower. Uncle Yun continued.
"But it is precisely because of the lack of air defense caused by this incident that Lingyutai suffered a 'backyard fire', allowing 'a dangerous guy' who was originally imprisoned in Lingyutai's "Criminal Prison Department" to take the opportunity to escape to the outside world. And those 'special forces' of the "Military Aircraft Department" chased here precisely because they learned the whereabouts of that guy. ”
"A ...... Dangerous guys?"
Jiang Yao's face was dazed, but in stark contrast to his blankness, it was the slowly cooling expression of the glutton. I saw that the gluttony was silent for a moment, and then suddenly opened his mouth:
"The guy who was imprisoned in the "Prison Department"...... You can't mean 'him', right?"
"That's right. Uncle Yun nodded lightly, looked at the gluttony meaningfully, and said. "Although 'he' is the same as you, he has also been sealed with demonic power, but he is still a dangerous existence, once it flows through the world, I am afraid that it will stir up a bloody storm. And...... His first target may be you. ”
What the......!?
Jiang Yao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the glutton, but saw that the other party's expression was still so indifferent, and it did not stir up the slightest wave.
“…… Hmph, I'm expecting 'him' to come to me. Gluttony sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Since the 'Military Aircraft Department' has chased them here, it means that 'he' has appeared here?"
"I don't know. Uncle Yun shook his head and said calmly. "But if they really catch accurate clues by the "Military Aircraft Department", I'm afraid there won't be only this movement. ”
"Really...... Speaking of which, you even know the inside information of the "Military Aircraft Department", it seems that your so-called 'internal channels' are not ordinary. Tao Tao glanced at Uncle Yun, and seemed to have something to say.
"Hehe, our 'internal channel' is only used to rescue you this time. Uncle Yun smiled, glanced at the woods behind him intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned his head to look at the mountain path already in front of him.
"It's here. Without further ado, let's go. ”
"......" Jiang Yao looked at the sheep intestine trail in front of him, and then looked up at the fish belly white that was gradually rising in the sky, although he was very concerned about the previous conversation between Tao Tao and Uncle Yun, but now was obviously not the time to ask questions. After struggling for a moment, he immediately decided to follow Uncle Yun into the path, and Tao Tao remained silent after the previous conversation, and finally followed him into the mountain without saying a word.
"Whew...... Phew......
The bleak mountain wind whistled in the mountains and forests with the gradually brightening sky, and not long after Jiang Yao and his party walked into the mountain path, a figure in a dark blue uniform quietly appeared not far away, staring coldly at the disappearing back of Jiang Yao and the others.
"Hmph...... If you want to run, it's not that easy. The figure snorted coldly, reaching out to brush the black crystal on the neckline, and after teleporting the messenger spell through the crystal, the figure immediately set off, silently and slowly approaching the mountain path in front of him.
"Kara......
A slight vibration sound came from the mountain again, and I saw that the mountain path that had been temporarily opened up by the "mountain opening stone" seemed to be alive, and began to close slowly and automatically; and the figure's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and his feet immediately accelerated his pace, but at this moment, a sudden black shadow suddenly jumped over the instep of the figure, and the figure who was paying attention to the mountain in front of him was caught off guard.
"What!?"
The figure paused and quickly stabilized his body, but it was this short pause that made him miss the opportunity, and with a loud "boom", the mountain closed tightly in front of the figure, and the mountain path was no longer to be found.
"Damn!" the figure slammed his fist into the rocks in disgust. "I finally learned that the whereabouts of the 'Chiyou Soul' hidden in the 'forbidden land' of the Changyou clan, and now not only is there no evidence, but even this kid surnamed Jiang has not been caught, and now I am really going to be scolded by the minister......
The figure muttered to himself, but it was useless to pursue it at this point, and after a few curses, the figure turned around and returned to the woods, submerging into the depths of the forest......
……
"......'Chiyou Soul'?"
Mu Jianyun stared in the direction where the figure disappeared, and slowly lowered his raised right hand. I saw a Shishen inscription flickering silently on the back of his hand, and finally disappeared.
"I thought they were here mainly to investigate the whereabouts of the 'guy' who escaped, but now it seems that things are far more complicated than I thought...... Father, what are you thinking about......?"
Mu Jianyun was silent, and he couldn't help but think of hearing Mu Xunzhi's order to secretly arrest Jiang Yao before leaving, and his face began to become more and more gloomy. He raised his head and looked in the direction where Jiang Yao and the others had left, and whispered:
"Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao...... Helping you this time can be regarded as repaying the favor that you saved in Yuanqiu Mountain, but ...... It's only this time. ”
Mu Jianyun sighed, then turned around and disappeared into the woods, disappearing into the first rays of morning light.
----------------------------
"yes, I still haven't caught it......"
Lu Jingyi closed the document in his hand and looked up at Yunlan who came to report.
"Yes...... Although the "Military Aircraft Department" dispatched troops to Changyou Mountain to investigate as soon as they got the news, it seemed to be in vain in the end, and "that guy" seemed to have evaporated from the world and was no longer missing. Not only that, but they got into trouble......"
Yun Lan said, handing another document to Lu Jingyi's desk. In the aerial picture in the center of the document, a huge pit appeared in the center of the picture, which was particularly abrupt in the surrounding of a deep mountain forest, as if a piece of the mountain had been stripped away by something.
"This is a mountain in the Xianxialing area of Changyou Mountain, and the entire mountainous area has a radius of several miles, and it has completely disappeared from the map overnight. Yunlan explained. "As for the reason, it seems that the Changyou clan who were stationed in Changyou Mountain used the 'Spell Transmission Enchantment' to remove it. ”
"'Spell Enchantment'?" Lu Jingyi lifted his gaze from the document and reached out to push the lens of the single eye on his face. "How could the Changyou clan suddenly use such a dangerous secret technique?"
"According to the Changyou clan, it was because of the sudden volcanic eruption of Changyou Mountain at that time, and the Changyou clan was forced to use it in order to protect the creatures in that area. However...... the "Military Aircraft Department" does not think so. ”
Yun Lan paused, carefully observed the expression of the landing instrument, and continued.
"From the point of view of the "Military Aircraft Department", the Changyou clan used secret techniques in order to hide some ulterior secrets, and it is even likely to be related to the whereabouts of 'that guy'...... It's just that there is no evidence, so he can't start an investigation of the Changyou clan under the nose of the "Demon God Mansion", so Minister Mu is quite angry, saying that he wants to ...... I'm looking for an explanation. ”
"Hehe, it's obvious that they missed the evidence and returned in vain, why do you blame me?" Lu Jingyi smiled, took out the glasses cloth from his arms, took off his glasses and wiped them.
"Well...... Yun Lan hesitated and said. According to the feedback from the "Military Aircraft Department", Tao Tao and Jiang Yao were also at the scene of the incident at that time, saying that it was because of their obstruction that the "Curse Enchantment" was successfully activated and the key evidence was passed away. ”
"Oh, and such a thing?" Lu Jingyi's movements in his hand froze slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Yunlan.
Of course, this is just Minister Mu's words. What we learned was that Jiang Yao and Tao Tao only appeared in Weiyang near Changyou Mountain, and at that time they were seeking the 'Continuation Pulse Grass' to connect the Qi Pulses, and as for whether they actually went to Xianxia Ridge later, it is unknown...... Yun Lan added. "It's just that in the eyes of Minister Mu, Jiang Yao and Tao Tao should have been under your control, but now that something like this has happened, I naturally want to ask you for an explanation......
「…… I have something important to find Lu Jingyi, get out of the way!"
"Minister Mu...... Chief Lu is now in a meeting, this ...... This ......."
"Pound ......!"
With a loud noise, the office door was rudely broken. In the bewildered gaze of the two guards, a tall and majestic middle-aged man in uniform appeared at the door of the office, his sharp pale gray pupils hinting at anger, glaring angrily at the landing instrument.
