Chapter 33: Bai Zhuo's Investigation Progress (1)
Hathaway looked at that scene and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Hathaway recalls her first dream of becoming a world-famous swordsman, and she longs for the mystical wonders of the myth and dreams of one day seeing the unknown side of the world.
After her life path deviated all the way, although she also insisted on practicing swords, she no longer knew what the sword in her hand was wielding. Maybe that's the reason, her cultivation stayed in the realm of cultivation and never broke through, and she later gave up her cultivation and devoted herself to studying swordsmanship.
Hathaway turned her head to look, and the Roguea also looked up at the five golden dragons, the look on her face was different from the shock of the servant next to her, and the Rogue's expression looked calm, but there was a very gentle light in her eyes, as if she was also reminiscing about some past time.
Hathaway suddenly noticed that the rope in Rakshasa Woman's hand had been untied at some point, and a thought jumped into her mind.
"Rakshasa Woman...... What would you do if I didn't promise you?"
Hearing Hathaway's voice, Roguea turned her head, the golden light was still reflected in her bright red eyes, like a burning golden city, she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, looking like a student who was perfunctory to the teacher's questioning, "Hmm...... I don't think you'll want to know, Your Majesty. ”
Hathaway laughed, "Don't call me Your Majesty, I'll not be the queen soon." ”
"It's just a title, Your Majesty doesn't have to care. ”
Rakshasa touched her nose and looked down and smiled, "In my opinion, you are worthy of this title. ”
Hathaway only took the words of comfort to her, and didn't take it to heart, she spread out her palms, and handed the piece of thing wrapped in the mother worm to the Rakshasa Woman, "Then this thing...... Do you need me to help you destroy it?"
"I'll do it myself. ”
The Rakshasa woman held the thing in her palm and exerted force with her five fingers.
I only heard a sharp insect chirp piercing the wrap of the palm.
When Rakshasa opened her palm again, only white powder poured from between her fingers.

After receiving the news from the queen of Shazhou Kingdom, Bai Zhuo yawned and instructed Bai Qing to call everyone over.
When the people were almost together, he got up from his chair and stretched, "I've been here for so long, I haven't taken you to visit Shazhou Country properly, have you? ”
Speaking of sightseeing, Bai Zhuo is not exaggerating at all, and when he entered the city, he scattered all the tiger demons on the grounds that they were guarding the streets.
He wandered around the streets of the Sandbank Country, watching the chase between the Rakshasa and another monk in the distance.
After watching for a while, he found that the Rakshasa Girl was actually coming in his direction, and Bai Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.
After the dungeon that day, he let Gu Changgeng be detained and tortured for a period of time. However, that's all there is to it, Gu Changgeng can't come up with evidence to prove that he let go of the Rakshasa Girl, and at the same time, he has to worry about his identity as the leader of the Monk Alliance, so he can't embarrass a demon clan patriarch before the matter is decided, so he can only let him go in the end.
Before letting Bai Zhuo leave, Gu Changgeng talked to him, saying that he asked him to cooperate with the Monk Alliance to capture the Rakshasa Girl, so as to clear the suspicion of letting the Rakshasa Girl go, and also told him that the catastrophe of the Tiger Demon Clan six hundred years ago was done by the Rakshasa Woman.
In Bai Zhuo's opinion, the credibility of Gu Changgeng's words is really not high.
He'd never told anyone else what he had said to Rakshasa, wasn't that just trying to cover it up?
To say that Gu Changgeng has nothing to do with the events of that year, he absolutely doesn't believe it.
But what exactly is going on in this matter, Bai Zhuo also thought about it for a long time before he figured out a clue.
Whether it was Gu Changgeng or Meng Changling, they had told him not to be coaxed by the words of the Rakshasa Girl, thinking that it was not the first time that the Rakshasa Girl had escaped by such means.
If Gu Changgeng was familiar with the nature of the Rakshasa Woman, and also understood the knot in his heart that had been knotted for six hundred years, and guessed his deal with the Rakshasa Girl after a little scrutiny, this would make perfect sense.
Bai Zhuo didn't know much about Gu Changgeng, he only received a greeting letter from the Monk Alliance when he had just succeeded to the position of the patriarch of the Tiger Demon Clan, and the signature of that letter was Gu Changgeng.
However, although I don't understand, since this person can sit in the position of the leader of the Monk Alliance, he must not be an idle person, think about it carefully, who can not only understand the events of the year, but also have this skill, can quietly erase all the clues without him noticing it at all, and play him between applause? There are not many candidates, and Gu Changgeng happens to be one.
Thinking that Gu Changgeng might be one of the perpetrators back then, Bai Zhuo wished that the Rakshasa girl would cause more trouble.
As far as this matter is concerned, Bai Zhuo doesn't intend to trust either side, so he doesn't plan to join either.
However, he couldn't refuse Gu Changgeng, otherwise it would be equivalent to sitting on the matter.
But that didn't stop him from fishing in troubled waters.
Isn't it just to come to Shazhou Country for a walk? It's not impossible to come and go shopping.
As for the Rakshasa Woman's side, Bai Zhuo also did some investigations.
In Bai Zhuo's impression, during the one hundred and fifty years from his age of five to seven, his father rarely stayed at home, leaving the clan early in the morning every day, and did not return until midnight, sometimes even for several days without news.
Bai Zhuo now recalls that his father at that time thought that he was carrying out some secret activities, perhaps it was the god-making plan that the Rakshasa mentioned to him.
He searched through all the records he could find from that period, and he couldn't find a word about the god-making project, except for a wanted notice for the Rakshasa in a newspaper circulating in human society.
The wanted warrant registered the height and posture of the Rakshasa in detail, and also attached a photo of the Rakshasa Woman, which was no different from the Rakshasa he saw that day, and the newspaper registered the wanted reason for the murder of the high-ranking of the demon clan.
Bai Zhuo found the front and back issues of the newspaper, but found no more information about the Rogue.
There's obviously something strange about this.
Until now, the Rakshasa has not been caught by the Monks Alliance, but the wanted notice for her has only been published for one issue and it has ended?
Such a wanted warrant cannot prove anything other than proving that the Rakshasa Girl was indeed involved in the events of the year, and for the two completely opposite sets of statements of Gu Changgeng and the Rakshasa Girl, Bai Zhuo temporarily leaned towards the Rakshasa Woman's side, but it did not deny the possibility that the Rakshasa Girl might be deceiving him.
The wanted warrant in the newspaper was issued in the name of human official, and no specific person could be found. He took the newspaper with him to find the leaders of the other nine forces that had also suffered the Heavenly Thunder Array incident that year.
The leaders of the six demon clans either kept silent when he came to the door, or pretended to be completely unaware, and completely refused to cooperate with his investigation.
However, the other three human monk sects, in the past six hundred years, at least have changed three leaders, almost all of them are young people who are half a hundred years old, when they heard that he was the patriarch of the Tiger Demon Clan, they wanted to investigate some of the past six hundred years ago, all of them accompanied him to find the historical records of the year with the etiquette of receiving distinguished guests, and when they saw that there was a record of the death of this ancestor in the Heavenly Thunder Array six hundred years ago, they all showed a look of surprise more or less, as if they were completely unaware of such a sensational event back then.
Humans are forgetful, especially good at forgetting painful things. Bai Zhuo had always known about this characteristic of humans, but for the first time, he realized that this might not be a bad thing for humans.
Having forgotten the pain, human beings are able to face what happened more objectively.
Bai Zhuo felt that this was a good thing.
