Chapter 61: Is it dark today?

Well, this Colonel Ray is not a scumbag.

It's a painting that reveals the skin, and people are not human beings in the first place.

Although the officer ID card is written as a special response team of the PLA, his actual identity is that of a member of the Dragon Group of the Demon Management Bureau's special task force in Fan.

It's just that the painting style of the dragon group and the dragon group can also be very different, and there can be Sun Xiaoshun's eight honors and eight shames, who are ready to contribute to the construction of a harmonious human-demon society, and are specially used to serve as a façade in peacetime, there will be people like Lei Jun who look down on mortals in their hearts, and use thunder methods to manipulate the human government in extraordinary times.

Probably the monsters have a clear sense that the Heavenly Dao has completely disappeared, and they are not as clear as Xiao Li and Du Ling, the two Heavenly Dao direct binding users, so the means they use to manipulate the situation are not very extreme. It was only by using verbal stimulation and factual oppression to shake the other party's beliefs, and then using a tough attitude and a promise that "if something happens, we are fully responsible" to break through the officials' defenses, and finally completely gained the dominant power.

Mayor Chen and his family originally stood on the stand of the people and argued on the basis of reason, thinking that it was too inhumane to use a tougher and harsh management method to increase the psychological pressure of the demonic qi latent crowd and screen out the mutated high-risk groups for isolation, but in the end, they were gradually persuaded by Lei Jun.

Leaving potential mutants and ordinary people together, disasters and accidents will occur continuously, and the long pain is better than the short pain, which can at least control the casualties and prevent most people from realizing the horror of mutation.

In the end, the officials who were persuaded by the two benefits of stability maintenance and stop loss agreed to the proposal, and one after another cold and unbelievable orders were drawn up, just waiting for a phone call to be made and stamped to take effect.

For those who have already been displaced and complained, the implementation of these new rules will undoubtedly make matters worse.

Therefore, the city government is also under great pressure to make such a decision, and it is not something that can be offset by Lei Jun's statement that the military will take the lead and be fully responsible. But after struggling for a long time with a heavy face, Mayor Chen still chose to give instructions.

Just because he sincerely believes at this time that it is beneficial to the safety of most people, he has no choice.

But Du Ling knew that it was a hoax from beginning to end.

Regardless of whether this youkai dressed as a military commissioner is a real Demon Authority employee or a conspirator minion posing as the Dragon Group, nothing good will come from his proposed approach.

Brutal oppression only fuels more resentment, doubt, anger and pain, all of which belong to the dark side of the human heart, which is ......

The bait of the 'devil'.

Originally, when the Heavenly Dao was operating normally, the demonic qi could not invade the hearts of mortals, and at most, when a large number of negative emotions were piled up at the elephant level (such as large-scale wars), they could take the opportunity to erode the escaping vitality and strengthen themselves.

But now the situation is completely different, the 'demon' can directly attack the individual, steal all the vitality of a mortal, and transform him into a temporary prop to expand and devour!

There is no difference between mortals and mortals, and none of the mutants imprisoned in this underground research institute are gifted with spiritual roots, so the cornerstone of Lei Jun's entire plan, "separating a small number of potential mutants from normal people", was not valid from the beginning!

Anyone can be enchanted.

Then the more unstable the feelings of the masses and the more negative thoughts there are, the worse the whole situation will be, and persecution and high pressure will only create more and more demonized people......

"What the hell is this bastard trying to do?!" Don't you think human beings are miserable enough!

Yes, of course, they don't think humans are miserable enough...... If there is no chaos and no collapse, how can there be a chance for the demon clan to replace it?

The more Du Ling thought about it, the more he felt that the cold air was coming through the cracks in his bones, he quickly retracted his sense, grabbed Xiao Li's arm and gritted his teeth: "We must not let this conspiracy succeed!" ”

"Hmm." Of course, it is impossible for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor to let the 'demon' be presumptuous, although it is very suspicious that the demonic qi can suddenly infect ordinary people, but now is not the time to investigate the truth.

Xiao Li raised his hand and pinched a spell, and the mighty bright electric light condensed and gathered in his slender and white palm.

"You pay attention to protect those mortals in a moment, and I will lure this demon out first-"

At the same time as his murderous words, Du Ling also took out his entire set of equipment, and asked solemnly with a cinnabar pen in one hand and a yellow paper in the other: "Little pear!" Do you remember the one we saw at the door of Zhang Jing's house before - the drawing method of the talisman that can isolate all means of communication? ”

Hey?

At this moment, the old and new combat concepts collided with sparks, and the light of wisdom flashed with dazzling golden light in the crisis.

Well, the cowhide didn't blow it for the time being, and Xiao Li, who understood Du Ling's thoughts in an instant, flashed a trace of excitement in his eyes. Time was urgent, and he didn't have time to slowly guide the other party to draw talismans, so he took the tool himself and moved the pen like flying, and quickly made several Dao talismans with spiritual light.

Although Xiao Li didn't have any attainments in the Fu Fa Dan Dao, after all, the realm of the peak of cultivation was there, and it was completely okay to just copy what he had seen.

Then, with a wave of one hand, the rune paper turned into several golden rays of light and flew in the four positive directions, complementing each other to build a barrier.

Block the channels of communication inside and outside the qiē enchantment.

Now no matter how much Lei Jun fools and brainwashes those officials, it's useless, the phone can't get through, the network has no signal, even if he breaks his throat, no one can hear it.

Shit policy is not out of the basement, and the victims and disaster relief personnel who don't know the truth can finally get a good night's sleep.

Next, it's the Emperor Show of Catching Turtles in the Urn and Closing the Door and Beating Dogs~TIME.

Du Ling's brain hole inspired by modern information warfare dug a deep hole for Lei Jun, that is, the appearance of this isolation spell, which can be said to be a patent within the Demon Management Bureau, made him mistakenly think that this was a demon from the same system in the way.

From Lei Jun's point of view, no matter how vicious the task he is carrying out, it is also a "legal" procedure with the seal and approval of the Standing Committee of the Demon Management Bureau, but the matter has not been announced to the public, which is likely to provoke some nosy passers-by to interfere.

So when the mortals panicked when they found that they couldn't get through the phone and couldn't get on the Internet, and wanted to throw out the underground bunker research institute, this arrogant monster not only took the hostages at the first time, but also left these meat shields underneath, and ran to the ground with his clothes fluttering to say hello.

He was in a hurry to get out of the task this time, and he didn't have a personal manpower increase for the sake of secrecy, so he could only be in the company of a group of stupid mortals, and now it was best to requisition a few bureau employees as temporary subordinates.

Anyway, it's also their honor to be able to follow adults.

Lei Jun's small abacus is also very beautiful, but unfortunately, as soon as he looks at him, he finds that the other side is not his own person at all.

The smell of human cultivation...... Hey, I'm worried that I don't have good food to fill my belly.

The seeping tongue slipped out of the corner of his mouth, licking the yellow translucent eyelids, Lei Jun laughed fiercely, and the fierce light appeared in the vertical pupils on the golden background that revealed the essence of a cold-blooded reptile. He didn't bother to let go of the scene, and directly turned into a giant python demon body whose waist was thicker than a bucket, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with weird green venom, and the stinking black gas was like Xiao Li and Du Ling pounced!

"Kill yourself."

Looking at the hideous and evil little boss with full strength, he only got such a faint evaluation from His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.

The whole process took less than ten seconds, and it was over before Du Ling could even react to the scream.

Specifically, this self-regarded "Dragon Group Colonel" didn't even touch the corners of the clothes of the two of them, and was directly poked by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor with monstrous sword intent, and hung on the tip of the love gold essence sword made by Du Ling himself.

It is difficult to even charge an ornament for a snake that shrinks to a small black black and ugly person, but the body fluids that fall from the wound are dripping on the ground, and a trace of white smoke comes out of the corroded soil on the ground, barely proving that this is really the same snake as the scary monster just now.

Du Ling, who kept onlookers throughout the whole process and didn't even put on a bottle of soy sauce, finally concluded: "...... If you don't have the ability, don't be arrogant, you see, isn't this killing yourself? ”

No wonder Wang Laohu and their teacher sighed, after this Taoist priest who slays demons and destroys demons, the su zhì of modern monsters ~ is also a river and a sunset, and he also uses a spell to come up, and directly hits the muzzle of the gun with the prototype, thinking that it is to scare mortals?

It's so funny, who is your dog with a dog?

Du Ling leaned over with a look of disgust and pinched the tip of the stiff tail of the little black snake, and was surprised to find that Xiao Li actually gave the other party a breath.

It seems that no matter how disgusted this kind of demon is for the devil, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, who is loyal to his duties, still remembers to ask for a confession.

But after they have all returned to their original form, can they still be tortured to extract confessions?

Du Ling looked coldly at this snake spirit who was extremely arrogant before, and did not care about the lives of a city in the slightest, but now he was hanging on the tip of the sword and waiting for the air, and his heart crossed about 100,000 words The details of the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, without a trace of mercy, the only thing he was worried about was that the other party could not stand it and hung it directly.

However, Xiao Li's next smooth action was to tell Du Ling, his self-righteous and cold imagination was simply a petty fight, and the methods used by the real orthodox Taoist cultivators to deal with "demons" were worthy of the word "cruel".

There is no need to bother to consider the wishes of the other party, and there is no need for any coercion and temptation, if the monks who slay demons and demons want to get some information from the captives, the easiest and most direct way is to search for souls.

Soul searching, as the name suggests, is to extract the opponent's divine soul out of the exorcism shell, and use secret techniques to extract the required information.

In the process, the torture of the soul-searching party is almost as good as Cheng Dù, who is so jealous and hateful, that the righteous monk will not talk about human rights with the demons, and there is no room for the other party to give the other party a glimmer of life, which is no wonder that many years ago, the human cultivators and the demon clan almost never died.

Watching Xiao Li extract the soul of the snake spirit with an almost elegant means and get involved in the whole process of torture in the thunder light of his palm, even if he was still full of disgust for this snake demon, Du Ling still instinctively shivered.

…… Is this probably an instinctive fear?

There is no joy or sorrow, and he does not feel rejoiced by the pain of the enemy, nor does he have any compassion and softness, and he is plain and calm, as if he is performing a daily sword practice, and the emperor feels distant and strange.

Blocking out the resentful but meaningless wails of the snake demon's soul, Xiao Li quickly found the question he was most concerned about, that is, how the demonic energy invaded mortals - this answer was actually not difficult to guess, and it was indeed related to the demon seed that had appeared once.

Originally, the demon seed was an extremely sinister being, which can be understood as a highly condensed demonic qi, which, when dispersed, pollutes and stirs the peaceful flow of 'qi' between heaven and earth, turning the aura into dead qi, which in turn affects the living beings living in it, making them irritable, irritable, and bloodthirsty...... The more spiritual creatures are, the easier it is to fall into madness, and in the last days that Du Ling experienced in his previous life, the madness of the grass, trees, and demon beasts may be related to the sacrifice of people with intentions and the spread of demon seeds.

But this time, the situation is different, and the mastermind behind the destruction of human society wants to promote the disaster to improve the Demon Seed, so that it has the ability to bypass the polluted aura and directly use the vitality of the living as nourishment to strengthen itself.

Although it still needs to be devoured with the help of entities, if these demon seeds are allowed to erupt, then the chain reaction will occur like an avalanche, whether people are afraid to escape, or fight with each other or even kill, it will only help the demon qi to grow, and eventually billions of people of the human race will become the bait of the demons!

And it was useless to kill the mutated demonic person by ordinary means, Xiao Li recalled the faint black smoke that floated from the last body of the mutant who turned into a dry corpse, and a pair of sword eyebrows were tightly locked.

Each demonized and mutated individual is just a temporary prop for the 'demon' to gather power, and no one is special enough to get transcendent.

It's a pity that there is no way to know who the main messenger is, once Xiao Li began to ask who the person behind Lei Jun was, the prohibition that had already been preset in his soul suddenly exerted force, and he took the first step to twist the snake demon's soul into pieces, and there was no use at all.

Obviously, the person behind this scene is also very good at acting like a heavenly demon, and he doesn't take loyal subordinates to heart.

Xiao Li sighed inaudibly, and pinched the trick to attract a real fire, incinerating the snake demon's frozen shell and divine soul fragments that were still full of black qi into ashes, so that it could be completely purified and returned to heaven and earth.

It didn't take long for the entire set of soul searching techniques to be cast, and Xiao Li had already done it thousands of times in the cultivation illusion array of the mountain gate, so there was no need to think about it instinctively, so it wasn't until he carefully scrutinized the information he had obtained and wanted to share it with Du Ling that he noticed the strange feelings of the Dao couple.

Du Ling's doll face, which was only a little bigger than a palm, rarely showed no expression, and his black and white peach blossom eyes were full of astonishment, and he noticed that Xiao Li's gaze turned to him, and he involuntarily shrank like a needle.

Xiao Lizhong also chuckled, he could naturally feel Du Ling's sudden rejection, but he didn't know what he had done wrong to provoke the other party like this.

The Heavenly Emperor, who had no experience in this area, opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start, he wanted to get close to appease the other party, but he also hesitated because of the slight rejection in Du Ling's eyes, and finally could only stand in place with his sword in his hand, looking nervously at the past with a pair of dark phoenix eyes.

The original cold and majestic fairy appearance was forced to show a trace of grievance.

Being poked by the unconscious cuteness of the just-murdered Emperor Xià, Du Ling finally came back to his senses, and he tried to use his reason to suppress the fear from his body's instincts, so as to get rid of the control of negative feelings.

Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey...... No, it's sad that the rabbit dies and the fox dies, Kanye definitely did a lot of evil back then, so after the demon dies and the soul is destroyed, there is still a deep fear of the interrogation methods of the Daomen.

However, even if he didn't start from the perspective of the monster, Du Ling himself was insensitive to the practice of directly extracting the soul torture.

Although talking about humanitarianism in extraordinary times is a bit of a suspicion of standing and talking without backache, it ...... Generally speaking, shouldn't the prisoner be given a chance to make a statement before sentencing?

The feeling of cramping and peeling the skin without saying a word, as if the snake demon was not regarded as a self-aware and intelligent creature...... It's normal for people to feel unacceptable.

Du Ling felt that he couldn't be considered hypocritical, he didn't have a clear line of boundaries between humans and demons in his heart, in his opinion, those who opened the spirit and thought and could speak were equal, taking a step back, even if they couldn't think and couldn't talk ordinary animals, he also felt that it was a life that could not be ignored.

Think about it, wasn't he just a little demon with a position to be tested in Xiao Li's eyes at the beginning? In case there is a misunderstanding......

It's just scary (.

However, after his reason returned, he also knew that Xiao Li's approach was understandable, and it was just a difference in the education he had been exposed to since childhood.

For Xiao Li, slaying demons and demons has almost become an innate mission, he will never be merciful, and the demons on the side of the demons are completely unworthy of being stored and must be eliminated. So this majesty kills the bad monster and searches for a soul, which is estimated to be as natural as touching a corpse after playing the game PVE......

Thinking about it this way, recalling Xiao Li's little cabbage-like history of confinement cultivation, Du Ling suddenly felt much better, and his originally tangled gaze became gentle and loving again. Get up.

This is clearly a character defect caused by educational deviations, and it is necessary for Uncle Ben to tolerate it with a broad mind and water it with selfless love - think about this thing used to be an iceberg idol that couldn't even laugh, but now I will be worried about not installing it, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!

What's the difference in world view, the straight can be bent, and it's not good to teach this little bit?

That must not be possible!

Although he didn't know what Du Ling was thinking about in his mind, Xiao Li was very keenly aware that the alarm seemed to be lifted, but Du Ling's eyes were still a little ...... Disturbed?

Xiao Li looked away a little uncomfortably, and said that the snake demon's body brushed off the sword and put the sword into the sheath behind him, and then asked with a little hesitation:

“…… Don't you like me to deal with that snake demon without permission? ”

He thought about it and found this one reason, he was indeed used to doing it too quickly, maybe Du Ling had another idea to ask for more clues?

Moreover, he is good at asserting ideas like this, and he does not respect the ability of Taoist priests enough, but he is not perfect in his own doing, and he gets very little information...... The gentleman who introspected himself three times a day fell into deep introspection.

Heavenly Emperor Xià, who has always followed the records of the sect's classics, really never realized that the result was all the destruction of the soul, so what is the difference between killing the demon directly and killing it after torture.

Just like he had never equated Du Ling with any other monster, it was impossible to understand what terrible associations a certain writer had just been associated with a certain murdered Mr. Writer who had intermittent episodes of delusion.

"Uh...... I just think that extracting people's souls and horses is not something that villains often do, so the worldview has been a little impacted. After realizing that he had over-supplemented his brain, his subconscious gesture must have hurt the other party, and Du Ling, who was a little guilty, explained very implicitly.

In fact, now that I think about it, Du Ling feels ruthless and ruthless to the enemy's killing decisions, and is gentle and cautious to himself...... This style of painting is also very charming, and he couldn't get back to his senses for a while, so Xiao Li noticed that little feeling.

He put away the euphemism of his personal feelings, and the person who got the answer was even more at a loss, "Are you ...... Don't like soul searching? ”――

The Emperor of Heaven is actually imperfect, he was shaped into a distorted and stereotyped "immortal" by the sect and the master's will. As a human ...... There is still a lot of room for manipulation in the black-and-white worldview, but with a special bird master in his heart, he has not been on the altar for a long time (hey.

The Emperor of Heaven has actually been learning to be a man.

"Uh...... I just think that extracting people's souls and horses is not something that villains often do, so the worldview has been a little impacted. After realizing that he had over-supplemented his brain, his subconscious gesture must have hurt the other party, and Du Ling, who was a little guilty, explained very implicitly.

In fact, now that I think about it,
