Chapter 24
"She has the amulet I gave her." Bi Fang said seriously.
Have it? Xu Xin'an glanced at Bi Fang, and Bi Fang was also looking at her. Xu Xin'an immediately understood. Bi Fang still didn't want these people to know about her inexplicable sudden appearance of mana, and he didn't want these people to study her.
Xu Xin'an agreed solemnly: "Well, Bi Fang gave me a talisman, maybe that one worked." ”
Dong Xi asked, "Can you let us see?" ”
Xu Xin'an looked at Bi Fang, and Bi Fang nodded. If these people's curiosity is not satisfied, they will just ask endless questions.
Xu Xin'an pulled the feather necklace out of his collar.
Bi Fang said: "I found her with this spirit feather, and she also relied on this to resist Chen Baichuan's illusion attack." ”
"Xin'an is the child of Xu Long's two mission heirs, with the best demon slayer bloodline and great talent, maybe this is one of the reasons." This is Long Ziwei's speculation.
Dong Xi frowned: "There are a lot of intermarriages in the demon slaying family, but I haven't heard that the children born by the two demon slaying students can be talented." What's more, didn't the Xu family quit the demon subjugation circle a long time ago, and their skills were lost? ”
Huang Tianhao said: "Sister Long said that she is the child of the heir of the mission. The death shops do not communicate with each other, and there has been no marriage between the mission heir and the mission heir. Originally, the identity of the mission heir was very special, and it was not something that could be a demon slayer. ”
Long Ziwei nodded: "The soul power of the mission heir is the strongest, and in the dark, there will be guidance." When my sister was 10 years old, she suddenly told my dad that she knew she had to inherit the candle shop. It's the same as my dad back then. My dad said that when he was a child, one day when he was practicing, he suddenly opened his mind and knew his mission. And my sister's soul power and demon subjugation talent are indeed above me. ”
Xu Xin'an took a sip of the teacup. She didn't feel it at all, she knew when she was a child that she was going to inherit the candle shop because she was an only child, and she didn't want to run a candle shop, she wanted to open a coffee shop, and persuaded her father for a long time, but it didn't work, so she gave up. So what is going on with her without spells and without God's guidance?
"I don't think that's the point." Xu Xin'an cleared his throat and expressed his opinion, "Now the mystery is not on my side, it doesn't matter how I escaped, what matters is why Chen Baichuan killed the shopkeeper." Also, you've been saying that the Death Seeking Shops don't interact with each other, and very few people in the Demon Suppression Circle know about it, right? ”
Everyone nodded.
"Then how did Chen Baichuan find it? Aside from the fact that I stupidly posted a message on the Internet and was found out by him, how did he know about the other two stores? Is there anything else we don't know about the shopkeeper who has been killed? Or maybe he has found another shopkeeper who is looking for death and hasn't done it yet. ”
"It's possible." Dong Xi said, "He may have arranged the chain enchantment to deal with other death-seeking shopkeepers, and the other party may be a master." But before Chen Baichuan could act, he met Miss Xu who posted on the Internet, and he decided to pick the easy one first, but he didn't expect that there was a business trip. ”
It sounds reasonable.
Long Ziwei said: "It's also possible that it doesn't have to be the owner of the death-seeking shop, if he just wants to collect strong souls, then he is right to target the strong souls." Compared with the shopkeeper who seeks death, the masters in the demon subduing realm have strong souls, which is easier to find, and he may have laid these enchantments for this purpose. ”
"Makes sense." Fang Shuliang said, "Then let's do this, on the one hand, continue to look for Chen Baichuan, and on the other hand, contact the masters in the circle, so that they must be careful." What's more, Chen Baichuan's serial enchantment was discovered this time, and he definitely can't rebuild the spell casting talisman on the original address, he needs to find a new suitable location. ”
"Unless he gives up on using chain enchantments." Huang Tianhao said.
"He's not going to give up." Dong Xi said, "Each of us will use the means we are best at to do things, and Chen Baichuan must be the same." He wants to take a strong soul, and he doesn't need an enchantment, so what does he rely on to defeat his opponent to get a soul? In addition, his chain of enchantments was cleverly arranged and his mana was powerful, and he transferred people from the Jinmu Mansion to Xiting Street, which was ten kilometers away, and then to the outskirts of G City, which was nearly twenty kilometers away. I don't have that much skill anyway, so I think he must have an accomplice, and since they have spent so much effort researching serial enchantments and using them successfully, how can they give up? They will definitely be looking for new suitable locations. ”
Huang Tianhao said: "It makes sense. It's just that we don't know how big Chen Baichuan's ability is now. Maybe the strong soul he received before had already been refined and absorbed by him, and his mana was not comparable to that of ordinary demon slayers. ”
Everyone's expressions were stern, and in that case, it would be terrible.
"Regardless, the scenes and items used in the illusion are the things that the caster himself is most familiar with, so he can be sure that nothing goes wrong. Especially before confirming that Xin'an is a strong soul body and has not been able to give her a drink of soulless water, Chen Baichuan's fantasy scene must be very cautious, otherwise it will be too risky to see if it is unreasonable or on a business trip. The office that Xin'an saw on the 22nd floor must be somewhere real, maybe it is Chen Baichuan's office. Bi Fang said.
Fu Liang, a subordinate of Long Ziwei, hurriedly said: "In a while, I can roughly reconstruct a room like that with a computer according to Xin'an's description, maybe it will help us find him." At this time, he remembered, "By the way, I got the floor plan of the Jinmu Building, and Sister Long told me that the room you stayed in the Jinmu Building, the corresponding direction down the 21st floor is like this." Fu Liang took a printed drawing and asked Xu Xin'an to read it.
"No, the room I'm in is different from this one." Xu Xin'an is sure. She reached out and made a rough gesture on the drawing.
"That's it, Bi Fang is right, Chen Baichuan did not decorate the space according to the original layout of the building, but according to what he was familiar with." Fu Liang was very happy, "In this way, we can have some clues, one is the appearance of his office, the other is the location where he transferred his peace of mind twice, and the layout of the enchantment must also be to find a place that he is familiar with, although the first transfer Bi Fang Dashen did not find a specific address, but he knows the general range, and the haunted house in G City, he must have been there many times in advance." ”
Fang Shuliang said: "There is also a snake, he uses a snake to attack, and you can also check the connection between him and the snake demon." We pay more attention in the circle, and it is impossible for him not to contact the people in the circle. After collecting the soul, he needs to be refined, and he needs magic weapons and tools. If he wants to find a dead shopkeeper or a strong soul master, he has to ask around the circle. ”
Xu Xin'an had another question: "I still don't understand how the owners of the first two dead shops were found, Chen Baichuan must have worked very hard to find the dead shop, don't other people also have strong souls?" The time and energy he spent searching for the dead shop was enough for him to get more strong souls. Why bother? ”
Everyone was silent, and finally Dong Xi guessed: "Maybe it's because the soul of the shopkeeper is the strongest?" ”
"But how did he know?"
"He came from a death shop, of course he knows."
"But no matter how strong it is, how strong can it be? Even if the strong soul of the shopkeeper who seeks death has 10 points, and the other strong souls have 7~8 points, eating two general strong souls will have more nutrition than eating one dead shopkeeper. Xu Xin'an felt that this kind of tonic idea of the evil demon slayer was really strange.
Everyone had a black line on their faces, and they also felt that Xu Xin'an's description of the picture was too strange. Should she eat her waist to make up for her waist?
"Maybe he didn't go out of his way to look for it, but it just happened to happen." Dong Xi guessed again.
"Well, then he found out so coincidentally that the shopkeeper who seeks death has no ability, he only has a strong soul, no spells, and taking their souls is like taking something from a bag, which is easier to deal with than the most basic demon slayer children." Bi Fang found a handheld game console on the sofa and expressed his opinions while playing.
"Who are you talking about?" Xu Xin'an glared at him.
"Say you, it's so obvious." Bi Fang Shi Ran didn't care, "Maybe the other two death shops are also like you, the spell has been lost, and the shopkeeper doesn't know his identity, and then suddenly and inexplicably encountered a flying disaster." Hey, this console is quite fun, you can buy one for me. ”
Xu Xin'an knocked him on the head very easily, and Bi Fang was still saying after being knocked on the head: "Buy one for me." ”
Xu Xin'an just wanted to scold, when he suddenly saw a room of people staring at the two of them like petrified.
"......" is embarrassing. Xu Xin'an was really annoyed that her hands were too fast, she cleared her throat and said sternly: "It's not good to play games. ”
Bi Fang ignored her and asked shamelessly, "Who is this, can you lend me a few days to play?" ”
Fu Liang hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and said in a trembling voice: "Send, send you." "Mom, you dare to fight God, so handy, neat and imposing.
Bi Fang took advantage of it, and happily looked up and smiled at Fu Liang: "Thank you." I just accepted it unceremoniously.
Xu Xin'an gritted her teeth, it was really embarrassing, it was really not that she was violent, a certain god owed a beating, no matter if it was okay.
"Let's get down to business." Xu Xin'an decided to ignore the embarrassing guy for the time being.
A room full of people finally returned to normal. Everyone divided the work, Fu Liang was responsible for searching for clues on the Internet, Guo Xun and Qin Xiangyu went to Jinmu Building, Xiting Street and the haunted house of the gray building in G City to investigate, and Long Ziwei and the demon slayers went to the circle to find out Chen Baichuan and the recent news of the soulless murder case.
As for Xu Xin'an, she still went back to open a store normally, firstly, she had no connections in the circle, so she did not play any role in the investigation of the case, and it was not helpful, and secondly, maybe Chen Baichuan was not dead and would continue to look for her. Bi Fang stayed by her side, and if Chen Baichuan attacked again, Bi Fang would catch him.
