"So...... The man behind the control of Ah Li and the corpse dove used the 'Soul Suppression Stone'?"

Lu Jingyi listened to the report calmly, and her index finger tapped lightly on the desk, as if thoughtful.

"Quite possibly. According to Jiang Yao, when he was controlled by Ah Li, he inadvertently glimpsed the past memories of Ah Li and Xiao Yuan, and also witnessed the process of Xiao Yuan being stripped of his soul control in order to resurrect Ah Li. Yun Lan in front of him said.

"Although we can't be 100% sure that what he said is the truth, but the matter of the 'Soul Suppression Stone' is extremely secretive, that kid can't have heard of it before, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence that I can say this word from his mouth this time, besides, it's ......"

Yun Lan paused suddenly, his expression seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Besides, judging from what we found, Xiao Yuan ...... No, the corpse dove is indeed missing half of his souls, and the only person in this world who has the ability to strip off the three souls and seven souls is probably the 'Soul Suppression Stone'. ”

"'Soul Stone'...... The legendary monster that can manipulate the soul and reverse reincarnation has reappeared in the world......" Lu Jingyi pondered.

"Back then, Chi You was defeated and died, in order to prevent his reincarnation, people also used the 'Soul Suppression Stone' to disperse his three souls and seven spirits, but the 'Soul Suppression Stone' itself was extremely evil, and the only one at the beginning was shattered after use, and it was impossible to survive in the world before ......" Yun Lan looked worried.

"Moreover, the ancestors who used the 'Soul Suppression Stone' back then left a testament prohibiting people from using the 'Soul Suppression Stone' again and making it a forbidden thing, even within the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace', only a few people knew about this magic stone. If this incident is really done by someone using the 'Soul Suppression Stone', I'm afraid ......"

"Until there is concrete evidence, everything is just speculation. After a moment of silence, Lu Jingyi finally opened her mouth again, and cast her eyes on the red-haired man who was lying on the sofa not far away reading gossip magazines. "By the way, what about that kid Jiang Yao, why didn't he come with you?"

"Hmm...... He was half angry when he learned the truth, saying that he never wanted to have anything to do with us again. Gluttony was bored flipping through the magazines as he shoved a large sandwich in his mouth.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault! If I wasn't careless...... If I had kept those Shikijin closer, he wouldn't have ...... You won't encounter such danger......" Yun Lan lowered his head, biting his lip lightly, and his reddened eyes showed a look of self-reproach.

"Hey, you're wrong, he's not angry that he was used by you, nor was he almost killed, but that you hid it from him Xiao Yuan is corpse. Tao Tao removed the magazine on his face and glanced at Lu Jingyi. "Moreover, aren't you the ones who erase Xiao Yuan's 'traces of existence' in human society without authorization?"

"However, erasing the traces of demons that expose their identities in human society is also for the stability of society, and it is our Lingyutai's duty......" Listening to the yin and yang taunts of the glutton, Yunlan couldn't help it again.

But that's exactly what he can't tolerate the most. Gluttony interrupted. "For you, Xiao Yuan may just be a troublesome little monster, and if you deal with it, you will deal with it, but for that kid, you are a unique, living friend, and your approach is more cruel than killing Xiao Yuan. ”

“…… I understand that this incident has hit him hard, so let him rest for the time being. ”

Lu Jingyi pushed the monocle, looked at the gluttony and said calmly. "But...... Since he has been infused with the power of the beast, it means that his future fate is no longer in his personal control, and it is you who are responsible for this. ”

"Hehe, whatever you want, I can't persuade him anyway, he still wants me to take back the demon power, how can I do this, I'm about to be angry with him." Gluttony tossed the magazine aside, got up and put on his coat, as if he wasn't going to stay here any longer. "This time, I am enough to cooperate, the demon power is given, the task is completed, and you can handle the follow-up matters yourself. ”

"You ......!" Yun Lan seemed to say something more, but was stopped by Lu Jingyi's eyes.

"I'll send someone to verify the matter of the 'Soul Suppression Stone' again, I've worked hard for you this time, so take a good rest." ”

Lu Jingyi smiled kindly, but as if she suddenly remembered something, she stopped the gluttony again.

"Ah yes, speaking of which, you were there when Black and White Impermanence was going to take that kid away, right?" Lu Jingyi looked at the gluttony, and seemed to have something to say.

"Ten years ago, the 'Book of Life and Death' suddenly changed, and the King of Hades sent countless ghosts to arrest the person who had tampered with the 'Book of Life and Death', but nothing was found in the past ten years. And now that I finally found the kid with the 'Death Mark' engraved on my body, but I let him go without doing anything, this is unreasonable...... Did something happen at the scene?"

"Hey, you don't really think I saved that kid, do you? With my current ability, how can I stop the impermanence of black and white?" "By the time I arrived, they had already given up arresting, and I don't know why. ”

"Yes. Lu Jingyi smiled. "But how do I feel that you have something to hide from me? ”

"How can I hide it from you, old fox. Tao Tao reached out to open the office door and looked back at the middle-aged man who was staring at him. "I haven't seen through you in the century I've known you. ”

"Hehe, each other. ”

Lu Jingyi was still smiling calmly, watching the strange red disappear behind the gate.

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

Jiang Yao nestled alone in the sofa in the corner of the café, staring at the crowd coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling window with a blank face, not wanting to do anything or say anything.

Nearly a week has passed since Ah Li's incident, and there has never been a victim of the "Death Game" in society, and the occasional sporadic news has quickly proved to be a prank to follow the trend, under the serious suppression of the police, the once uproarious "Death Game" has finally died down, and the heat on social networks has quickly been drowned out by celebrity gossip, and people always forget the news so quickly, but for Jiang Yao, the trauma left by this incident on his soul is not something that can be healed in a short time.

The drizzle outside the house was hazy, the passers-by on the street were in a hurry, in this city where he had lived for many years, everything was so familiar, but it seemed so strange, especially when he found that among those passers-by, there were also some "non-human existences", which made Jiang Yao's mood more and more subtle.

Ay......

Jiang Yao sighed silently, and moved his gaze back from the crowd outside the window, perhaps because of accepting the gluttonous demon power, he had begun to gradually be able to distinguish the demons in the other group, even if the other party's appearance was no different from ordinary people, but Jiang Yao could still feel strange in an instant.

If Xiao Yuan sat in front of me at this moment, I'm afraid I would also have this strange feeling, right?

Thinking of Xiao Yuan, Jiang Yao's mood fell into sadness again, in fact, he has been avoiding these days, he is afraid to return to the bedroom, afraid of evoking those memories of getting along with Xiao Yuan, bit by bit, really, like a dagger, constantly stabbing at the scabbed wound in Jiang Yao's heart, making him evoke the bloody memories of that night in the villa, and reminding him of the bird demon "corpse dove" that fell in a pool of blood.

But those memories are what he doesn't want to discard, because he knows that maybe those memories of himself now are the only proof that Xiao Yuan has existed in this world.

Xiao Yuan......

Jiang Yao rubbed the coffee cup in his hand that had already bottomed out, and remembered the mysterious black shadow that he had glimpsed in Ah Li's illusion, if it wasn't for that person's control, Xiao Yuan and Ah Li would not have ended up like this, it can be said that that person is the culprit who led this tragedy, but for this person, Jiang Yao has no clues.

I don't know anything about my appearance, name, or even gender, and the only clue may be the thing in the other party's hand that Xiao Yuan called the "Soul Stone", but the introduction information of this thing on the Internet is almost zero, even if Jiang Yao uses hacking technology, there is still no reliable news.

Maybe there will be information about the "Soul Suppression Stone" on the side of the "Spirit Imperial Terrace", which Jiang Yao also guesses, but after experiencing Xiao Yuan's incident, his trust in this secret agency has dropped to the freezing point, and he knows that there is no free lunch in the world, with that Lu Jingyi's old treacherous and cunning, he is sure that once he opens his mouth to ask them for help, he will fall into a serial pit again, and he will never want to experience the experience of being played by others.

Master...... Where are you? I ...... now. What to do?

Jiang Yao fell into confusion, and he suddenly missed the serious but reassuring face, the old woman who had saved him when he was most helpless. He subconsciously stretched his hand to his neck, but only touched the empty necklace, the only item left to him by the 'demon old woman', which had long been shattered in the nightmarish night of the villa, and the person he had relied on for many years had long since left him behind and traveled everywhere without a trace.

"So you're hiding here. ”

A woman's voice suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao came back to his senses from the air, and when he moved his gaze from the coffee cup to the slender figure in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but then he pulled his face down again.

"Why are you ......" Jiang Yao spit out a sentence gloomily, and then turned his face away. "I must have told that man, right? I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. ”

“…… Yes, but ...... I think there are some things I still have to explain to you. ”

Facing Jiang Yao's attitude, Yun Lan seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he didn't leave and sat down opposite Jiang Yao.

At this time, Yunlan did not wear the usual blue uniform, but a light purple dress, the exquisite cut revealed her delicate figure, and the waterfall-like long black hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, making her look less aggressive, but a little more charming, just as soon as she appeared, she attracted a lot of envious eyes around her, but such a beautiful scenery did not seem to alleviate the dissatisfaction in Jiang Yao's heart.

"I don't think I have anything to say to you. Jiang Yao stood up and draped his coat over his shoulders.

"Really...... Even if it's about Xiao Yuan?" Yun Lan raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Yao, who had paused.

"Don't you want to know, Xiao Yuan...... Where is the corpse dove?"
