Chapter 38: Omission or Conspiracy?
Not long after Zhang Mubai and the others left, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared in the place where Zhang Mubai and the others had just fought.
"Hey, it's here just now, why isn't it now?" said the shorter one, looking at a disc that looked like a screen in his hand.
"I said dwarf winter melon, how come we don't even see a shadow when you chase it all the way?" said the taller man, a little impatiently.
"You're going to call me a dwarf winter melon, believe it or not I'm going to twist your brain off?" said the shorter man, who seemed to care about his height, with some annoyance.
The taller man's reaction to him seemed to be accustomed to it, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but continued: "Come on, let's see what the hell is going on with your, we need to get that guy back quickly! If Commissioner Yin finds out about this, I'm afraid our heads will really be twisted off!"
When the little man heard him say this, he stopped talking to him, but snorted, and examined the disc carefully.
"No problem! Why did it suddenly disappear?" said the short man, looking at a calm disc screen, with some annoyance.
"It can't be that this thing is a, and we've been chasing the wrong direction, right?" said the tall man, pointing to the disc with some doubt.
"Probably not! This thing was specially assigned by the sect master to the technical department, and there shouldn't be any quality problems. And when they showed me it around, it was really sensitive!" the short man denied.
"It can't be you, right?" said the tall man, with a noncommittal look.
"You dare to question the sect master?" the short man looked back at him seriously.
The tall man realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and quickly said, "I'm just talking casually!"
"Hmph, it's good that I just heard this, if I let the commissioner or other people in the sect hear it, I'm afraid that you will feel better!" said the short man.
"Am I not like this in front of you?" the tall man couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"You should pay attention to this in the future! Don't let others take advantage of this loophole!" the short man reminded him before he said, "This spirit chasing disk should not be wrong, I'm afraid that something is wrong with that guy!"
"What do you mean?" asked the tall man, following his meaning.
"With that guy's ability, I'm afraid it's strange to come to this worldly realm and not make some trouble, right?" I suspect that this guy has made a lot of noise, and has already been noticed by the righteous path, and it is likely that he has been killed by the righteous path!" said the short man again.
"Oh?" the tall man was a little surprised when he said this.
It's just that the short man seemed to think of something at this time, and continued: "The signal disappeared here just now, that guy is likely to be killed here, let's look around, maybe we can find some clues!"
"Okay, you go over there, I'll go into the woods!" the tall man also agreed with his idea, and said quickly.
The two searched for a moment, and soon found the place where the ghoul had been destroyed.
"Well, sure enough, there is no doubt that this is the right way to do it!" said the short man, looking at a burning ash in the middle of the forest.
"I can't believe that the righteous path can strike so quickly!Now that we have lost this ghoul, how can we explain it to the commissioner?" asked the tall man, a little worried.
"Hmm!" the short man frowned and thought for a moment before he added, "These ghouls have always been raised by us, and the specific number is reported by us to the top, so one or two fewer should not be a problem! Now that this ghoul is exposed, will it attract their attention? If this incident ruins the commissioner's plan, you and I are afraid that it will be ······."
"Only you and I know about this ghoul's escape, but the commissioner doesn't know about it! As long as you and I keep this matter under wraps, no one will find out about us! As for the commissioner's plan, what does it matter to us? We just need to do our part of the errand, and what does it matter to us whether he lives or dies?" said the tall man at this time.
"Isn't that right? It's the commissioner after all?" the shorter man hesitated.
The tall man couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw him like this, and reminded him: "You have to know a truth - dead friends don't die poor!"
After saying that, he slapped it out, and all the incinerated ashes were scattered into the air!
······
"Dad, what do you think of today's incident? Could it be that the Heavenly Corpse Dao is a ghost?" After returning home, Zhang Mubai couldn't help but ask.
"Raising ghouls is an extremely luxurious and difficult thing, looking at many evil sects, I am afraid that only the Heavenly Corpse Dao has this motive and ability! Yes, this matter is inseparable from them!" Zhang Yulong replied, but after he finished speaking, he continued with a little frown, "However, if it is really them, I have never understood this motive!
"Could it be what?" Zhang Mubai saw that his father seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked again.
It's just that Zhang Yulong ignored him, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly patted his thigh with some annoyance and said, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Mubai was a little confused.
Zhang Yulong turned his head to look at him at this time, sighed, and said, "Alas! I'm afraid that this time we made a mistake, and we thought simply!"
"Oh?" Zhang Mubai still didn't know why.
When Zhang Yulong saw his appearance, he explained to him: "When this incident came out, I was thinking, it was too coincidental that it appeared, just when the Heavenly Corpse Dao was about to attack Xian'er, and it was near us! I thought it was not simple, but I couldn't think of a reason for it, so I couldn't help but agree to follow you to investigate! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" he said and couldn't help but shake his head.
Zhang Mubai listened to it for a long time, but still didn't understand, and said directly to him: "I said that you don't want to sell it when you are old, just say it!"
Zhang Yulong said a little discouraged: "I'm afraid that our whereabouts have been exposed!"
"Ahh
"That's about it!" Zhang Yulong said with another sigh.
"I think this is just your own wishful thinking!" At this time, Mu Xiaolan, who heard their conversation, also came over and said, "Besides, ······"
"What's more?" Hearing that Mu Xiaolan had other opinions, Zhang Yulong couldn't help but ask.
Mu Xiaolan smiled and said, "Besides, even if it's their plan, so what? Have we lost anything!"
"That can't be said, if they find out about us, I'm afraid they will send more powerful characters. At that time, I'm afraid that even the two of us won't be able to keep Xian'er safe!" Hearing her words, Zhang Yulong said disapprovingly.
Mu Xiaolan didn't care, but said: "Then you are a little underestimated yourself! Your concealment and exploration skills are unique in our Maoshan Mountain, even the masters of the Yuan Infant Stage are afraid that they can't hide your investigation, right?
"It's just that everything has accidents, and this can't be used as a criterion for judging!" Zhang Yulong said.
"I think it's just that you're thinking too much! It's too complicated to think about the opponent!" Mu Xiaolan said noncommittally.
"Then tell me, where did this ghoul come from?" Zhang Mubai said unconvinced.
"Heavenly Corpse Dao! I suspect that this ghoul is probably used to ambush Xian'er, but there was some accident in the process, allowing this ghoul to escape!" Mu Xiaolan said with a look of certainty.
"Hehe, how can there be so many accidents?" Zhang Yulong said again.
"That's right, how can there be so many accidents?" Mu Xiaolan also replied.
······
Outside Zhang Mubai's house, a black shadow was hidden in the darkness, and after looking at Yu Xiaoxian's home, he looked at Zhang Mubai's home, revealing an evil smile.
