Chapter 69: Knowing the Truth
Lin Xiaofeng threw Xu Xingkong and Lu Weidong to Huang Yongqing halfway, and drove away by himself, Xu Xingkong guessed that she might have gone to find Yang Wanjiang, if there were really a large number of demons active in that place just now, Lin Xiaofeng would definitely not dare to make his own decisions.
"Didi"
Huang Yongqing pressed the horn a little impatiently, waking up the pensive Xu Xingkong, this point is about to enter the peak period of traffic jams, how good can the situation on the road be, in fact, it is just usual, and now Huang Yongqing is obviously a little anxious.
He kept looking at Xu Xingkong and Lu Weidong from the rearview mirror, frowning from time to time, as if there was something embarrassing.
Xu Xingkong knew what he was worried about after a little thought, and said directly: "Miss Lin, is this going to gather people?
Huang Yongqing was stunned, then looked at Lu Weidong with some surprise, and then said with relief: "Of course I have arrangements here, but we are mainly concerned with logistics and aftermath, but now the more troublesome are those ordinary residents, that community is conservatively estimated to have about 5,000 people, in case something happens, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
Xu Xingkong frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of what happened to him that night, ordinary people are no different from fragile porcelain for demon hunters and demons, once the two sides start fighting, I am afraid that the casualties of ordinary people will be difficult to control.
"Can't you evacuate early?"
Huang Yongqing sighed: "The situation is unclear now, in case we startle the snake, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not start in advance." ”
"So, haven't those ordinary people been kidnapped by them?"
Huang Yongqing shook his head helplessly, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "We can only try our best." ”
After that, Huang Yongqing pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear and began to ask his subordinates to contact the departments of fire, transportation and hospitals to stand by, and at the same time contacted the heads of the local police station and the village joint defense team, so that they could also be prepared and try to work out a plan to disperse the evacuees in batches without alarming the other party.
Lu Weidong blinked and listened, and only then whispered to Xu Xingkong for a while: "Can you sue me now?"
Xu Xingkong glanced at Lu Weidong and asked with a smile, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Lu Weidong smiled bitterly: "I think it's better to die and understand." ”
"Not afraid?"
Lu Weidong pursed his lips: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, is it useful? Compared with me, my sister's situation is more dangerous, right? What is the relationship between her and you?"
"I'm friends with your sister, as for her and Lin Xiaofeng, they can be regarded as both opposing and cooperating. ”
Lu Weidong looked confused: "Are you sure that the person you are talking about is my sister? When did my sister become so capable?"
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "Who knows, to put it simply, there was a group of demons and monsters there just now, what were they plotting just now, and this news was passed on by your sister, understand?"
Lu Weidong thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "Do you want to say that my sister and my sister are also monsters?
Glancing at Huang Yongqing, who was still arranging work for his subordinates, Xu Xingkong smiled lightly and said:
"She's certainly not a youkai. ”
Lu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Xingkong smiled playfully and continued:
"She's the devil, though!"
Lu Weidong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Xu Xingkong with a complicated expression, seeing Xu Xingkong's serious look, Lu Weidong was also a little shaken.
"No, it can't be, my sister can't be some kind of devil! She, she's just an ordinary girl, just my sister, you don't want to lie to me!"
Looking at Lu Weidong, whose voice was getting louder and louder, and his emotions were a little out of control, Xu Xingkong didn't argue with him, just shrugged his shoulders slightly, Huang Yongqing turned his head to look at Lu Weidong, and turned his head to continue his work.
Lu Weidong looked at the two of them suspiciously, paused for a while, and then glared at Xu Xingkong and said urgently: "You lied to me, right, right?"
"You can believe it or not, but it's true, and you can ask your sister directly if you have the chance. ”
Lu Weidong's face changed, his fists clenched and released, back and forth a few times, he finally took a few deep breaths to suppress the agitated feelings, and tried to ask in a calm but somewhat trembling voice:
"Can you tell me why?"
"Of course, your sister was supposed to be an ordinary person, but she has a potential that ordinary people don't have, a powerful soul power, and after encountering something extremely painful for her, she has stimulated her potential, but it is not without a price. ”
"Turning into a devil?"
"Yes, to be precise, it's a demon, but I don't really know much about it, according to them"
Xu Xingkong pointed at Huang Yongqing, Lu Weidong glanced at Huang Yongqing, turned his head and nodded at Xu Xingkong, indicating that he understood who he was referring to.
"According to these cultivators, entering the demon is to release a person's spiritual shackles and release the power of the soul to the greatest extent, at the cost of losing the restraint on one's soul, such as emotion, such as conscience, etc., as is the case with your sister. ”
Lu Weidong looked at Huang Yongqing suspiciously, squinted his eyes and thought about his impression of Lin Xiaofeng, but he didn't think that they were any different from ordinary people, and he was only half-convinced of Xu Xingkong's words, so let's listen to it.
"So, Sister Lin and my sister are opposites, and they protect me and want to control my sister?"
"Yes, it can basically be understood in this way, but it's okay to understand it from another angle, after all, it's not Lin Xiaofeng and them who want to kill you, but those monsters. ”
"Yokai? Why? Aren't they with my sister?"
"This is more complicated, to put it simply, people who enter the demon should not have family bonds, so that they can completely enter the demon, those companions of your sister may not have any kindness to your sister, all they need is a powerful tool, and you are a stumbling block that hinders your sister's strength. ”
Lu Weidong nodded suddenly: "I understand, it turns out that this is the case, no wonder you taught me"
Halfway through speaking, Lu Weidong suddenly came to his senses and looked at Huang Yongqing vigilantly, as if this person was not on the same position as himself and Xu Xingkong.
Xu Xingkong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Lao Huang knows that I taught you to practice the Yushan Ruyi Pile, I think, it's a good thing that you have more self-preservation ability, if you can get lucky and become a cultivator, it will be better for them to protect you, and it will be convenient for them to better cooperate with your sister." ”
"What do you call cooperation?"
Lu Weidong glanced at Huang Yongqing and said with a slight mockery.
Xu Xingkong nodded seriously and said: "It is indeed cooperation, they protect you in exchange for your sister's cooperation, which is beneficial to both parties, otherwise why should they spend resources to protect you, don't tell me about taxpayers, what citizens need state protection, etc., those are not their obligations." ”
Lu Weidong was stunned, his lips squirmed, and finally found that he couldn't refute Xu Xingkong's words at all, so he had to snort and stop making a sound.
Xu Xingkong grinned disapprovingly, and continued:
"There is never a free lunch in this world, if you want to get something, you need to pay the same thing, your sister knows this very well, otherwise she would not cooperate with Lin Xiaofeng. If you want to help your sister get rid of their disguised coercion and get rid of the ill-intentioned 'companions' around her, the only way is for you to be strong enough, you know?"
Lu Weidong looked up at Xu Xingkong, Xu Xingkong's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were extremely resolute, he said this to Lu Weidong, and at the same time, he was not self-motivated.
Lu Weidong nodded slowly but firmly, and paused for a moment before saying, "What do those demons and monsters in that place want to do just now?" Also, there are four different kinds of demons and monsters?"
Xu Xingkong nodded: "Yes, demons and monsters are four different things, animals that have mastered the power of the soul are called demons, and psychic non-animal lives are called monsters, these two existed earlier than humans, and they are also very powerful, human beings have always been fighting with monsters, competing for the right to speak and living space, as for demons and ghosts, they come from human beings, of course, there are also monsters, but there are very few of them, demons can be said to be out of control people, and ghosts come from the condensation of resentment and obsession." ”
Lu Weidong listened carefully, with a look of interest, after understanding where the danger came from, Lu Weidong was not so afraid, on the contrary, when he heard from Xu Xingkong's mouth and realized a completely different world, his mood was extremely excited, and even a little eager to try.
"Demons and monsters are powerful beings, like you, they can be crushed to death at will, and you don't know that you are dead until you die, and what is even more terrifying is that your soul may be devoured by them, so don't think those guys are something interesting. ”
Lu Weidong rolled his eyes speechlessly, thought about it and asked:
"Then my sister is also very powerful?"
"Maybe. ”
"Sister Billin is more powerful?"
Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "How is it possible, and you are not paying attention in the right direction, right? No matter how powerful your sister is, she can't protect your safety alone, otherwise why would she send you to Lin Xiaofeng." ”
Lu Weidong's eyes rolled, looked at Xu Xingkong and said, "Actually, my sister wants to send me to you, right? What is the relationship between you and Sister Lin?
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders: "It's a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and I have to rely on their big tree." ”
Lu Weidong exchanged a meaningful look with Xu Xingkong, and smiled reluctantly: "You haven't told me what the demons in that place are going to do just now?"
"I don't know about this, it is said that your sister said that they are going to make a big move, you can't control this matter, and I am the same. ”
Xu Xingkong said that he was a little uneasy in his heart, although what he said was the truth, and it was reasonable to stay out of the matter at this time, but he didn't do anything, but he couldn't explain it to his conscience, but in fact, what could he do? Perhaps, it was enough to warn Lin Xiaofeng in advance and assist Lin Xiaofeng in forcing Lu Qianqian to find the problematic location.
