"Brother......

The moment he saw the pale face of the man in the hospital bed, Zhou Wentao's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then quickly moved his eyes to the middle-aged woman guarding the young man next to the bed.

"Mom, my brother ...... What the hell happened? Wasn't it okay a while ago?"

"Hey...... Wen Hai went to other places a few days ago to inspect a new tourism development project, but for some reason he suddenly disappeared halfway...... We searched for a long time to find him on the edge of a deep mountain, but by that time he was already unconscious......" Zhou Mu quietly wiped away her tears with red eyes.

"Well, how did you go to the mountains suddenly...... And why is there no one to accompany him?"

"I heard that Akui and Lao Qi were also with him, but we only found Wenhai at the scene...... The police have dispatched police forces to search the mountain to find the other two, but ...... There has been no progress. Mother Zhou sighed and looked at the young man on the hospital bed with teary eyes again. "Now only Wen Hai knows what happened to the three of them at that time, but...... But he never woke up. Doctors and experts at home and abroad have come to see him, and various examinations have been done, but he can't find any cause, and seeing that his body is weakening day by day, I ...... I'm so scared of him......"

Zhou's mother choked and began to cry silently, Zhou Wentao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort his mother when he saw this, but he couldn't say anything except comfort for the current helpless situation.

Jiang Yao looked at the painful appearance of the Zhou family's mother and son, and he was also a little unbearable, he turned his head silently and set his eyes on Zhou Wenhai who was unconscious on the hospital bed again.

Zhou Wenhai's face was a little frighteningly pale, and his thin cheeks were colorless, which was very different from Jiang Yao's impression of his healthy appearance on weekdays. Speaking of which, since he was a teenager, Jiang Yao has known the twin brothers of the Zhou family, although he usually gets closer to his younger brother Zhou Wentao, but for the elegant and gentle Zhou Wenhai, he is also as respectful as a brother;

"Brother Wenhai......" Jiang Yao looked at the weak Zhou Wenhai, but his heart ached, but he suddenly had a strange feeling, obviously the man on the hospital bed in front of him was close at hand, but there was a strange sense of distance, which made people subconsciously dare not approach.

Jiang Yao was a little puzzled, he rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked at Zhou Wenhai on the bed again, this time, he finally found out that something was wrong.

He saw a layer of pale golden translucent material that seemed to be absent enveloped the hospital bed like a film, covering Zhou Wenhai's entire person.

This is...... Enchantment!?

Jiang Yao was surprised, he turned his head to look at the mother and son of the Zhou family who were unaware of this, and then looked back at Zhou Wenhai who was unconscious in the enchantment, and was a little at a loss for a while, and just as he stretched out his hand and was about to explore the enchantment, the door of the ward opened suddenly, and then a familiar voice came into the ward.

"There are so many people crowded here, but it will disturb the patients. ”

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the door of the ward, and was suddenly stunned.

I saw that the well-dressed Jiuya was standing at the door of the room, looking at himself with a smile, while the familiar red-haired man beside him still had that casual expression, but this time the other party did not open his mouth to taunt, and after his eyes swept over Jiang Yao, he moved away, looking like he didn't know him.

"You, ...... you?" Faced with such an unexpected scene, Jiang Yao didn't know what to say, but Zhou's mother, who was still immersed in grief before, hurriedly got up and greeted her as if she had seen a savior after seeing the two people.

"Ah, two masters...... I'm really sorry, it just so happened that Wenhai's younger brother and friends came to see him, I think, it might help wake him up......" Zhou's mother said crampedly, and her attitude towards Jiuya and the two was very respectful.

"Master" ......?

Jiang Yao squinted and glanced at Jiuya and Tao on the side, with the true identity of these two ancient monsters, he had no doubt that they had played some tricks to fool the Zhou family, but he still didn't know what kind of medicine these two guys bought in the gourd, and Jiuya and Jiuya obviously didn't mean to recognize Jiang Yao, but began to talk to Zhou's mother.

"The call of relatives and friends may indeed have an effect, but the patient's condition is not particularly stable at present...... Jiuya looked at Zhou's mother and said gently, that smiling face like a spring breeze really can't be refused. "To be on the safe side, let's let him rest more, what do you think?"

"Ah...... Okay, okay, I'm listening to both. Zhou's mother looked sincerely frightened. "Thanks to the two masters before, Wenhai's condition did not continue to deteriorate, so we ......"

"That...... Auntie, you and Wen Tao continue to accompany Brother Wen Hai, I won't bother for now. ”

In this situation, Jiang Yao naturally heard the sound outside the strings, so he also said goodbye automatically with interest, and Jiuya and Tao Tao also left the villa after pretending to take care of a few words, but as soon as they went out, they saw Jiang Yao, who was already waiting for them not far away.

"Wouldn't you better explain this?" Jiang Yao raised his head and looked at the two people who walked over.

"Explain what?" Nine Teeth smiled, paused, and asked rhetorically with interest.

“…… You should know what I want to ask. Although Jiang Yao's face was calm, there was no meaning in his words. "How did you appear in the Zhou family? And the enchantment next to Brother Wen Hai...... You should have set it up, right?"

"Because if I hadn't done it, he would have been out of this world for a long time. Jiuya shook his head calmly, looked back at the magnificent Zhou family villa, and sighed softly. "His three souls and seven spirits are less than half, and his divine consciousness is in an extremely unstable state, if he doesn't need to be temporarily sealed by the enchantment, I'm afraid that the rest will also be scattered, and then he will really be powerless to return to the sky. ”

"W-What ......?!How can this be?"

"Humans, like demons, are generally difficult to separate easily, unless they ...... Forcibly stripped by some force. Jiuya said, looking at Jiang Yao meaningfully. "Didn't you see something like this with your own eyes a while ago?"

"Three souls and seven spirits were forcibly stripped away...... by the way, Xiao Yuan ......!" Jiang Yao remembered the scene he saw in Ah Li's memory screen, and his heart suddenly "popped". "Is it possible...... It's the same with Brother Wen Hai this time...... It was also done by the black hand who harmed Xiao Yuan?"

"This is not certain, at least at present, we have not seen the other party's motive for Zhou Wenhai's attack, and it is not easy to strip the soul, it is quite energy-consuming, if the other party wants to kill Zhou Wenhai, there is no need to deal with it in such a roundabout and laborious way. But......" Jiuya paused, revealing a slightly puzzled look.

"However, I found that there is a faint 'miasma' on Zhou Wenhai's body, which is a bit unusual. ”

"Miasma?"

"Yes. The "miasma" is generally emitted by things that have fallen into the devil's path, and the things that have fallen into the devil are brutal and bloodthirsty, and they are not allowed to be in the Three Realms, and basically only wander in the "cracks of the Three Realms". Nine Teeth said.

"'Miasma' will cause erosion to the human body, so I have removed the miasma on Zhou Wenhai's body, and this matter is also a point worth investigating for Lingyutai, coupled with the existence of the phenomenon of soul stripping, this can also be regarded as a feasible clue to track down the black hand of Xiao Yuan's incident at present. Now Zhou Wenhai's situation is not optimistic, although I have laid an enchantment, but in the case of missing part of his soul, I am afraid that he will not last long, which means that we must recover his lost soul as soon as possible to be able to awaken him. ”

"That'...... Where can I find it?" Jiang Yao hurriedly asked.

"I'm afraid I have to go to the place where Zhou Wenhai had an accident, but it's just ...... This time the situation is a bit peculiar. Jiuya's words seemed quite helpless. "Although the Spirit Imperial Observatory has the intention to investigate, for some reasons, they have to have some scruples, and they can't even directly send the Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy to carry out the operation. ”

"What is the reason why it is more important than saving people?"

"Alas...... It's not as complicated as you might think. Nine Teeth sighed.

"The place where Zhou Wenhai had an accident this time is located in the area of 'Yuanqiu Mountain' between the black waters, not far from the headquarters of the Demon God Mansion of the Demon Coalition Government, 'Huaijiang Mountain', and belongs to the jurisdiction of the other party. To be honest, in the absence of definite evidence of demons doing evil, it is not very convenient for the "Spirit Imperial Terrace" to send people to investigate in a big way, after all, the two organizations have maintained a delicate relationship since ancient times, and they have lived in peace on the surface, but there are a lot of small actions to check and balance in private, and it is inevitable to be jealous in the handling of some things. ”

“…… Lingyutai can take care of the struggle at the top and ignore Brother Wen Hai's life and death, but I must not see death without help!" Jiang Yao clenched his fists and said angrily. "Anyway, I'm not a spirit envoy, even if I go there to investigate, no one can stop me......"

"Are you going to go to the mountains alone to investigate?Heh, don't blame me for not reminding you, the deep mountains and old forests are a gathering place for spirits, if you rush in, let alone find the soul, it's good not to put yourself in. Jiuya poured cold water on him mercilessly. "Moreover, even if you find Zhou Wenhai's scattered remnant soul, what ability do you have to bring it back?"

"This ......" Jiang Yao was speechless, unable to answer at all.

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious, I haven't finished what I said before. Although the "Spirit Imperial Table" cannot directly send the Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy to investigate this time, it is still possible to let a certain 'supernumerary temporary worker' investigate first, if the corresponding evidence can be found to prove that Zhou Wenhai's accident is indeed caused by demons, then they will also be famous. Of course, this time I was also dragged into the water by the guy. ”

Jiuya smiled helplessly, and pointed to the red-haired man next to him, Jiang Yao took a look, but saw that the gluttony at this time was bored leaning against the tree and looking at the sky, looking listless, and then I remembered that I didn't seem to have heard a word from this guy today, so negative and decadent made Jiang Yao a little surprised.

“…… What's wrong with him?" Jiang Yao asked.

"Hehe, what else can I do, I guess it's because I was forced to work by Lu Jingyi, so I'm not happy. Nine Teeth laughed. However, in the case of not being able to directly send the Spirit Envoy to investigate, he naturally became the only coolie option. ”

"I've always wanted to ask...... Aren't there four Ancient Beasts, and what about the other beasts besides him?"

"Well...... this"

"I said, how long are you going to gossip?" was as he was talking, but the gluttony on the side suddenly opened his mouth. "The guy in front of you, but I've been staring at you for a long time. ”

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, looked up and followed the gluttonous line of sight, and saw a faint shadow nesting in the corner of the street not far away, staring directly at himself.
