Chapter 206: The Demon Shouts and Catches the Demon
After listening to Douzi's countermeasures, Jiuyue just bowed her head slightly, indicating that she had understood what Douzi meant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of the fact that the fat demon master was concentrating on chanting the mantra, and everyone at the post station was also concentrating on watching the demon master chanting the mantra, Jiu Yue turned his head and asked Douzi in a low voice: "Now that the matter is over, don't lie to me again...... The death of the shopkeeper really has nothing to do with you?"
Seeing that Jiuyue finally had a hint of wanting to believe him, Douzi immediately shook his head like a rattle aggrievedly, and even his voice had a coquettish ending: "I really didn't do it~! I swear by the highest glory of my demon clan! If you hide the slightest bit, you will definitely sufferββ"
"Okay-" Jiuyue interrupted the poisonous oath that Douzi was about to blurt out, and said without any emotion: "I'll believe you once." β
Immediately, Jiu Yue picked up the tea in his hand, took a sip lightly, and asked thoughtfully towards Douzi: "By the way, you monsters - can you feel the existence of the same kind?"
"The same kind?" Douzi glanced at Jiu Yue suspiciously, and after a little thought, it didn't take long for him to immediately comprehend Jiu Yue's meaning...... Normally, of course, you can, but if you want to hide it, there is always a way to avoid being discovered by your peers. β
As he spoke, Douzi narrowed his eyes slightly, and once again carefully glanced at the people in the post hall carefully, and then shook his head in disappointment: "I don't see anyone who has a problem." β
If what Douzi said was the truth, the tragic death of the shopkeeper really had nothing to do with Douzi...... Then, it's very likely that someone else did it.
Of course, Jiuyue has never seen how miserable the corpse of Dian Xiaoer is, but through the description of Dian Xiaoer's body by others, it can be roughly judged that Dian Xiaoer most of them died from the attack of beasts or monsters.
After all, it was a mutilated corpse that had been hollowed out of its internal organs, and this was probably the most intuitive association that everyone in the inn could make after seeing the corpse for the first time.
Of course, it doesn't matter what others think, the most important thing is that the demon master thinks that the shopkeeper was killed by a monster.
And the demon master has an absolutely keen sense of smell for everything related to monsters, and Jiu Yue does not doubt it at all.
Then, there must be some truth to the demon master's guess that the harmful monster not only did not leave the post station immediately, but also mixed with the residents of the post station.
That is to say, at this moment, in addition to Beanzi, there may be another monster gathered in this post hall.
Moreover, the monster was so cautious that even the beans could not identify it.
However, although Douzi can't recognize the youkai in the crowd, the youkai may not recognize Douzi...... Perhaps, the monster had already recognized Douzi's identity, and was planning to let Douzi be its substitute for the dead, fighting to the death with these demon masters, so that it could take advantage of the chaos to slip away?
If so...... Can they use that monster in turn as a smoke to distract the demon master, and then she and Beanzi take the opportunity to escape in the chaos?
If Jiuyue's eyes were as normal as before at this moment, Douzi would definitely be able to see that something in her eyes lit up.
With the crisp and pleasant sound of 'jingle bell', Jiu Yueyi grabbed the little hand of the bean: "You try to ...... Hold on a little longer, I think, maybe it's not just the two of us who are in a hurry at this time. β
The fat demon master held the hilt of the sword in the shape of the word 'mountain' of the emperor bell in one hand, and shook it rhythmically with words in his mouth.
And the sound of the emperor bell is also very special, it seems that it is not made by the collision of the 'tongue' hanging in the emperor clock, but by a strange force to transmit it, each sound is extremely clear in Jiuyue's ears, and it echoes in Jiuyue's mind like ripples again and again.
This feeling is very wonderful, and it makes Jiuyue deeply realize that what is being shaken by the fat demon master in front of her at this moment is really a magic weapon and an extraordinary thing for demon subjugation.
The voice of the emperor bell sounded quite calm and comfortable to Jiuyue, but Jiuyue kept sweating from the beans, and held her little hands tightly, and she could clearly know that this was a graceful sound of pure heart and abstinence for her, and for Douzi, it may be no less than the torture of gouging out her eyes and ears.
It's a pity that Jiuyue can't see anything at all now, and can't know what the reaction of everyone in the post hall is at this moment...... It's completely meaningless, it's better to give it a go completely......
And with the continuous sound of the emperor bell, the tense and stagnant atmosphere in the hall of the post station became more and more solemn, and everyone did not relax for a moment, each of them watched whether others were abnormal, and no one was really in the mood to appreciate the lingering graceful and clear sound.
Douzi naturally understood Jiuyue's intentions, so even though the harsh sound made him dizzy, and the annoying sound of cold sweat had been cutting every nerve in him like a knife, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, making himself look like an ordinary person without any abnormality.
But in front of Douzi's eyes, it was clear that there were bursts of trance, and Douzi knew very well that he would definitely not be able to last long, so Douzi was also very serious, watching the reaction of everyone in the hall to the ringing of the emperor bell, and tried his best not to let go of the inappropriate expression changes on anyone's face.
The shopkeeper of the inn had already stood behind the group of demon masters, as if he thought it was the safest place in the whole house now.
The Jianghu Langzhong, who sold dog skin plasters, was secretly stuffing a jar of sorghum wine that he had just taken off the counter into his basket with his hands behind his back.
The poor painting boy happened to notice the sneaky behavior of the Jianghu Langzhong, and glanced at the Jianghu Langzhong in disgust, but he was silent and did not speak.
Finally, there was the thin, malnourished woman, who was alone in the corner of the hall in fear, far away from the crowd......
But why did she keep her head down?
Douzi frowned strangely, his eyes were firmly focused on the woman who was not quite right, and beads of sweat gradually overflowed on his forehead, which was indescribably uncomfortable.
And with Douzi's gaze, the malnourished thin woman who had been keeping her head down suddenly and slowly raised her head, but there was no trace of fear on the face that had been pale and bloodless for some time.
Her pupils, which were scattered and out of focus, also bumped into Douzi's searching gaze at once, and then, the thin woman's loose eyelids moved violently, and she turned the corners of her mouth to the side in a strange arc to pull it up, like a painting that had been accidentally broken.
Between the lightning and flint, Douzi immediately reacted to the woman's abnormality, but Douzi had just reached out to pull Jiuyue's sleeve, but heard the thin woman let out a scream, covering her face with one hand, and pointing straight at Douzi with the other arm.
"It's him! It's the kid! He's the man-eating monster!"
