――3 days ago――

"That's the basic situation, recently Yujian appeared near Nanjing, she is currently staying in a small gambling house, and she has made a lot of trouble recently," Wang Zhutou knocked on his head, Yujian made him have a headache, "This is the decision of the Holy Lord today, I naturally will not refute it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but listen to my advice, it's best not to do it with that rain sword. That guy made the biggest fuss, and all the staff of the West Factory couldn't catch her. ”

"You're saying this like your factory is all rubbish," Dior waved his hand nonchalantly, "what about the rest of the information, such as her 'abilities' and who she regularly interacts with." ”

"If we knew, we wouldn't be helpless," Wang Zhutou said with a wry smile, "If you want to say that her ability is too strong, and none of us are opponents, then we have other ways, but we don't even have a clue what she is capable of and what she can do after so many actions." Now it can only be guessed that she can at least move at some kind of extreme speed, and as for whether it is ability, no one knows. But the people around her... There is information. ”

With that, Wang Zhutou handed Dior a photo. Dio took it and saw the back of Amami Sword walking side by side with a little girl on the street. The little girl had aqua blue hair and looked as big as the rain, but there was something strange about the disobedience in the photo, and Dio looked at it carefully for a while to determine the source of the disobedience. This little girl was too petite, and her skeleton was smaller than the average person, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old who had shrunk to the average size of a twelve-thirteen year-old.

"Could it be that this little girl is also a monster?" Dior frowned, "What about the clues related to this little girl?"

"Not at all," Wang Zhutou shook his head, "from the time the rain saw the sword enter our field of vision, in all our investigations, she must have followed this little girl by her side." But this little girl seems to have appeared out of thin air, and many youkai have never even heard of such a "monster". We only know one thing, Yumi Jian seems to value this little girl very much. There is another person, Nanjing's famous blacksmith and craftsman "Ruowu Bai", who is also a "monster". However, that guy meets seventeen or eighteen people every day, and it's not surprising that Yumi Sword will go to him. ”

"It seems that the righteous partner is not going to do anything to this little girl. Dio scoffed.

"I shouldn't do this because of my feelings, not to mention that she never leaves Yujian for half a step," Wang Putou glanced at his watch before raising his head and continuing, "Another thing, Yujian is not worried that she may affect herself when she is in the vicinity when fighting, and we generally think that she also has good combat power. No, you'd better think so. In addition, here is a detailed report of our actions, maybe you can see something in it, I will also go back to work, if there is any situation, contact me immediately, and be on call. ”

"There won't be that chance. ”

Dio watched Wang Zhutou leave, and she picked up the information left by Wang Zhutou and looked at it carefully.

"Did you find anything?" Liao Xueqing leaned over and looked at the information.

"Come and see what you can find," Dior handed over the information directly, "After reading it, we will come to the "right answer", and so is Zi Buyu. ”

"The old man is really working hard," Zi Buyu took a sip of tea, "Don't you have the confidence to find out all the doubts?"

"I'm not familiar with our 'monsters', not even the Ming Empire, let alone monsters," Dior shook his head, "In other words, I have the least information among us, and I can see the least amount of things." ”

"In an arrest by all the staff of the West Factory," Liao Xueqing paused, "Could it be that even the governor of the West Factory has also come out?"

"The Governor of the West Factory?"

"Originally, she was the head of the forbidden army of the Ming Empire, and later established Xichang under the emperor's will and became the governor of Xichang, she herself can be said to be close to the existence of immortals, at least this is how the people circulate," Liao Xueqing said with some concern, "If even she can't solve the Yujian Sword, aren't we also delivering food?"

That's pretty bad. Dio closed his eyes, the total number of members of the West Factory was hundreds, and the huge territory of the Ming Empire seemed a little stretched. Hundreds of people deal with a monster, and among them there is even a powerful "Ripple Messenger", and no country in the world can come up with such a luxurious lineup to capture a person who is not wanted. But even so, Yumi Jian was still not arrested. Dior could almost see Zhu Yuanfang's angry face, she sneered and said:

"Of the several arrests in the profile, I found only one thing in common. Yumi Jian didn't go too far from the little girl at any time, but unfortunately this can't be a valid inference, and it's very likely that we won't have a second chance to confirm it. ”

"Here," Zi Buyu raised the data to Dio with his left hand, and pointed to part of the detailed record of the encirclement and suppression of the Yumi Sword on the data with his right index finger, "Xichang thinks that the Yumi Sword may have time-related abilities, even the Governor of Xichang can't confirm the trajectory of her movement, there is a guess that it is a time-based ability, but the Heavenly Evil Ghost should not have this kind of power, youkai are different from those with abilities, and most of the abilities come from genetics." ”

Heavenly Demons... Dior's thumb and forefinger clasped together, his fingertips turned white, and his eyes were wide open and unblinking, which looked very scary.

How do you deal with an opponent you don't know anything about? Wrong, she and Yujian are not hostile at all at this stage. Zhu Yuanfang did not explicitly say the solution, judging from the emperor's thinking, his purpose was only to "end this matter", and it didn't matter what method Dior used, it would be much more convenient. So starting from Zhu Yuanfang's why she solved Yujian Jian, Zhu Yuanfang is the emperor, there is such an unstable factor raging in his own land, causing disasters, Zhu Yuanfang will of course find a way to solve the root of the problem, but his tough methods failed one by one.

Yujian was more difficult than he imagined, and after so many arrests, Zhu Yuanfang finally realized this problem, but there was no solution to it. It just so happened that Dior contacted him and made his position clear, so he naturally asked Dior to deal with this matter...?

Wrong.

If the purpose is to solve the matter of Yujian Sword, then why only contact Dior alone?

There are too many mysteries, Dio sighed. She felt like she was in a trap again, but she didn't even know who the other party was.

"Look here, this person!" Liao Xueqing suddenly jumped up from her seat and shouted at Dior.

"What did you find?" Dior looked at the photo Liao Xueqing was holding. After a moment, she was also stunned.

It wasn't a photo taken by a monitor, but a photo of Yumi Jian and the little girl smirking in front of a street stall buying snacks, perhaps taken by some enthusiastic crowd. But the focus is not on Yumijian and the little girl next to her, but in the background, a woman wearing a feather coat and a horned crown with long sleeves to hide her face, as if she was facing the camera with a tiny dust.

Nagisa.

"This...?!" Dio shuddered, "how could she be here? No, the dead will not be resurrected. ”

Won't the dead be resurrected?, Dio, remembered that it was for this reason that Sixteen Nights had re-armed his weapons.

"And this one, this one. ”

Only then did the two discover that this 'Zhu Xia' appeared in many photos. Zi Buyu frowned, she didn't know who this woman was, she shook her head and continued to drink tea.

Dio was silent for a while, then said:

"Liao Xueqing, you go and contact that dog emperor. ”

If this 'dead man' has not yet been resurrected, then where did this Nagisa come from?

(Calm down, Dior.) ）

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again.

The first thing that came into her mind was this explanation. But why do the capable people imitate the appearance of Nagisa? There should be many people who are familiar with her, and the "monsters" who will use their "abilities" to deliberately appear in her posture are most likely to be the dusty women who have the ability, but because of some reasons within the Ming Empire, they were forced to enter the Qinglou. But the premise of this speculation is that this 'Zhu Xia' has nothing to do with Zhu Yuanfang.

Zhu Yuanfang is a "monster", if this 'Zhu Xia' is related to Zhu Yuanfang, then she is likely to be a monster as well. This would also explain why she appears in this photo, where she deliberately tailgated the sword and was deliberately photographed. It is inevitable that this information will be handed over to me, and it is inevitable that I will see her in the photo, if you think about it this way... The intent of these photos is clear.

"She's provoking me," Dior clenched his fists, "I knew I would see it, but I did it on purpose, and Zhu Yuanfang specially called me back... I really can't think of any other explanation. ”

"Isn't your way of thinking too self-centered?" Zi Buyu put down the teaglass, "What if you were just a dispensable character among them?"

"Then there's no need for me to see these photos," Dior shook the photos, "The only people who know that I have more than one relationship with Zhu Xia are Zhu Yuanfang and the guards around him, except for the members of the original hunter department. Besides..."

Dior picked up one of the photos, the 'Nagisa Xia' on it, raised his right hand and raised his palm, shoulder-high, palm facing straight ahead, which is the gesture that Dior often uses when betting against others.

"Bet on the soul... "She muttered to herself.
