Chapter 592: The bait is gone

Xiao Ping walked into the side hall with a reverent face, and the two doors closed gently behind him. I didn't know what this side hall was used for before, and there was not even a window on all sides. An oil lamp hanging from the roof was the only source of light, making the whole side hall look very dim.

After a while, Xiao Ping got used to such a dim light, and found that the furnishings in the side hall were very simple. It's just a low table and a futon. The box containing the bones was placed squarely in the center of the low table, and a piece of red silk covered the box underneath.

"God bones, god bones, I'll come!" Xiao Ping cheered in his heart, walked quickly to the table, and carefully lifted the red silk cloth on the box.

Right now, Xiao Ping is very close to the divine bone, and the induction of the demon refining pot has become very strong again. With a slight movement of his mind, he let the Demon Refining Pot appear on the table, and then lightly placed the Demon Refining Pot next to the divine bone in the box.

Xiao Ping gently adjusted the position of the Demon Refining Pot, allowing it to fully contact the divine bones. As soon as the demon refining pot touched the divine bone, it began to absorb the essence in it. The original dark color of the divine bone quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for the place where it came into contact with the demon refining pot to completely turn grayish-white.

Seeing that the Demon Refining Pot was beginning to devour the Divine Bone, Xiao Ping put on the silk again and waited patiently, hoping that the Demon Refining Pot would absorb all the essence of the Divine Bone within fifteen minutes.

Out of some kind of magical intuition, Xiao Ping always felt that Mao Lizhi also had bad intentions in this matter, and he wanted to deal with himself with his badness. Therefore, Xiao Ping would rather take the risk of letting the Demon Refining Pot devour the divine bones here than find a way to bring the divine bones back, which was also a decision he made after many considerations.

After all, it is more risky to take away the divine bones, and it is very likely that someone will be caught. Comparatively speaking, the risk of the Demon Refining Pot devouring the divine bones on the spot is smaller. After all, Xiao Ping put the demon refining pot into his body afterwards, and even Mao Lizhi found that the divine bones had changed. I couldn't get any grip on him. As long as others don't find out about the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping is safe.

This is also the will of heaven in the dark. Xiao Ping's decision just circumvented Mao Lizhi's plan to install a tracking bug in the bones. The divine bones will not move a single inch in the process of being devoured by the demon refining pot, and Mao Lizhi will certainly not be able to discover Xiao Ping's secret.

In fact, at the same time that Xiao Ping let the demon refining pot devour the divine bones, Mao Lizhi was also staring nervously at the computer screen in the monitoring room. However, to his disappointment, the bright spot representing the divine bone flickered steadily and motionless, which meant that Xiao Ping had not touched the divine bone at all.

"How so?" Puzzled, Mori Tomoya ordered his subordinates: "Turn on the bug and listen to what happened!" ”

No matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to install surveillance equipment in the side hall. It's too much of a movement to ensure that the secret doesn't get out. Therefore, the only way for him to monitor the situation in the side hall now is the eavesdropping device installed in the god's bones.

Tomoya Mori's men immediately turned on the bugging. But apart from an extremely faint "sizzle" sound, there was no sound in the headphones. This "sizzling" sound is likely to be an electronic interference sound emitted by the tracking function of the eavesdropper, which shows that Xiao Ping in the side hall still has no movement.

This unexpected situation made Mao Li Tomoya very distressed, and couldn't help muttering: "What the hell is this guy doing, is it really my misjudgment?" ”

Just when Mori also doubted his judgment, Xiao Ping's fifteen minutes were almost up. Xiao Ping, who had been looking at his watch, opened the silk cloth again, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the demon refining pot had devoured the entire divine bone cleanly. The black fossil-like bones of the gods had disappeared, and only a pile of gray-white powder remained in the box.

"Great, nothing wasted!" Xiao Ping cheered in his heart. Collect the Demon Refining Pot into your body as quickly as possible.

Just as Xiao Ping was about to re-cover the piece of red silk, he found that there was a faint bright spot flickering in the ashes in the box. This discovery made him very curious, and he wanted to take a closer look. However, at this time, the fifteen minutes for Xiao Ping to pray to the divine bones alone had arrived, and footsteps had already been heard outside the door. He really didn't have time to look closely. You can only cover the red silk as quickly as possible.

As soon as Xiao Ping finished doing this, the door of the side hall was opened. This time it was actually Mori Tomoya himself, who looked suspiciously at Xiao Ping, who was sitting on the futon with a calm expression. Want to find any suspicious clues.

However, Mao Lizhi was soon disappointed, both in Xiao Ping's performance and in the side hall. I don't see the slightest problem with it. The red silk was also well covered on the box, and it looked no different from before.

In desperation, Mao Li had no choice but to squeeze out a smiling face. politely said to Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, your time is up, please come with me." ”

"Huh? Is the time yet? Xiao Ping stood up from the futon, and said with a shocked face: "I really didn't expect time to pass so quickly, this divine bone is indeed magical, and I have gained a lot!" ”

Xiao Ping was indeed sincere when he said the words "harvested", and even Mao Lizhi could see that he was telling the truth. This made Mao Lizhi even more confused, could it be that Xiao Ping's interest in divine bones was purely out of curiosity, and it was not as complicated as he thought?

The two of them, each with their own concerns, walked out of the side hall, and immediately a guest couldn't wait to enter the side hall. These guests were truly devout people who were very devout in the bones, and the temptation to pray alone for fifteen minutes was undoubtedly great.

Xiao Ping watched the door of the side hall slowly close again, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. Now there was only a pile of ash left in the box, and if the guy who had just gone in had lifted the red silk with his hands, things would have been a little troublesome.

Fortunately, the guests who can receive the invitation of Ichiro Guangyuan are all people with status, and these people are quite obedient to their own status. Coupled with their devout belief in the divine bones, no one really lifted the red silk without permission. Until the last person prayed, no one noticed that the divine bones in the box were long gone.

Watching the two of them cautiously move the box containing the divine bones back into the main hall, Xiao Ping was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. Things have developed to this extent, even if someone finds out that the divine bones are missing for a while, it has little to do with Xiao Ping. Now he stays in the main hall completely with the mood of watching the play, just waiting to see how embarrassed Mao Li Zhi is for a while.

Ichiro Hirogen and Tomoya Mori stood side by side in front of everyone, and an old man announced with a solemn expression that the transfer ceremony had officially begun.

As soon as the ceremony began, the guests fell silent. A Shinto priest appeared in the main hall wearing a wide robe and a tall hat and began to pray for everyone's blessings. After the blessing, Ichiro Hirogen and Tomoya Mori spoke to all the guests in turn, making the ceremony seem long and dull.

Xiao Ping couldn't understand Japanese, so naturally he didn't know what these people were talking about. All he knew was that he had to be quiet at this time, so he could only stand bored in the crowd.

finally managed to survive until the speeches of the two were over, and the old man who had announced the start of the ceremony said something again, and everyone looked at Ichiro Hirogen and Tomoya Mori intently, waiting for the highlight of the ceremony - the official handover of the divine bones.

Seeing that the expressions of the people around him were more serious, Xiao Ping knew that the critical moment had arrived. He waited eagerly, like everyone else, for the climax of the whole ceremony.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mori Tomoya looked solemn and lifted the red silk that covered the box. In order to show respect for the divine bones, he lowered his head slightly to avoid looking directly at the box, and then slowly reached into the box and touched it.

At this moment, Mori Tomoya's face changed drastically, and his face was full of panic and incredulity. He didn't care about maintaining his demeanor any longer, so he hurriedly pulled the box containing the divine bones to his face and looked inside. At this glance, Mori Tomoya could finally determine that there were no god bones in the box at all, only a pile of suspicious powder.

"What's going on?!" Tomoya Mori, whose face was pale, exclaimed loudly, and Ichiro Hirogen, who was standing across from him, frowned involuntarily. Shouting on such a serious occasion is really unseemly, and it makes Ichiro Guangyuan feel deeply embarrassed.

"Close the door, close the door immediately!" At this time, Mao Lizhi didn't think of anything else at all, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "No one is allowed to leave the hall, no one can!" ”

"Maori, calm down!" Seeing that Mori Tomoya's actions were even more intensified, Hirogen Ichiro had to speak: "Don't be rude to guests!" ”

Hearing Hirogen Ichiro's words, Mori Tomoya remembered that the president was still beside him, and immediately cried and said loudly: "President, the divine bone is missing!" ”

"What?!" At this time, Guangyuan Ichiro was also anxious, his eyes widened and said: "Didn't you say that the security measures are foolproof, how could you be missing?" ”

Mao Lizhi had also fallen into the situation of the six gods and no owner, and spread his hands and said: "I don't know the way, everyone worshiped the god bones before being sent to the side hall, and it was okay at that time!" But after everyone prayed alone, the bones were gone! ”

As soon as Tomoya Mori said this, the expressions of the guests changed a little. This is clearly to say that everyone present is suspected of stealing the divine bones, and for this group of old men with status and status, just such a hint makes them feel extremely insulted.

Of course, Hirogen Ichiro understood the possible impact of Mori Tomoya's words, and immediately said with a straight face: "Mori, don't talk nonsense!" Everyone who came to watch the ceremony was highly respected, and it was impossible for them to have anything to do with the disappearance of the divine bones! ”

Although the divine bone disappeared inexplicably, which also shocked and angered Ichiro Hirogen, he still kept his sanity and was unwilling to let the impact of this matter expand.

However, Maori Zhi is not the same, for him, the divine bone is the only reliance on his climb up, and now this reliance is so inexplicably gone, how can he still remain calm?

Therefore, Mori Tomochi did not follow the meaning of Hirogen Ichiro's statement at all, but retorted loudly: "No, the thief who stole things is one of us!" (To be continued......)
