Volume III: Underworld Shock

Chapter 43: The Demon

There are several huge and towering chimneys of the thermal power plant that are now billowing smoke, and the surrounding air is filled with black powder particles and odors, covering the buildings and trees with a thick layer of black armor.

At this time, the coal-fired power plant was bustling, and the coal trucks were coming in and out, and no one knew that there might be a man-eating demon hiding inside.

Fan Jinyan flashed his police ID card and easily entered the power plant. After getting off the bus, I could still feel the pungent smell of coal even when I wore a mask.

At this time, seeing a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet walking towards him, Fan Jinyan thought that He Qiang had called to arrange it.

"Hello comrade policeman, I don't know what business trip to the power plant? If there is anything we need to cooperate with, I am Song Guomin, the workshop director. As soon as Song Guomin came up, he took Fan Jinyan's hand and asked.

Yes, eighty percent of the old men who guarded the door thought that they were here to investigate some case, and reported it to the top.

Fan Jinyan shook hands with Song Guomin, "I'm here to investigate some things, but don't worry, it has nothing to do with thermal power plants." ”

Fan Jinyan didn't know how to explain it to him, so he could only calm his heart first, saying that everything he checked had nothing to do with the thermal power plant.

He really guessed correctly, Song Guomin was secretly relieved when he heard that it had nothing to do with the power plant, but he still said enthusiastically: "If there is anything that needs help, please feel free to ask, we will definitely cooperate." ”

Fan Jinyan just wanted to ask him something, "Then do you know that the temperature in that part of the power plant is the highest?" ”

"The hottest? It could only be in a coal furnace, where the temperature was kept at around 2,000 degrees Celsius all year round. Song Guomin said without thinking.

Two thousand degrees Celsius? It is estimated that there is no hotter place around than this power plant. Fan Jinyan asked Song Guomin to take him to the fire room to have a look.

Although it is not known what this officer went there to do. Song Guomin still hurriedly led the way in front.

The temperature in the furnace room is not as high as in the stove, but it is much better than outside. Even though there are several high-power exhaust fans on the wall, there are still more than 50 degrees inside. I haven't been in for a minute. Fan Jinyan felt that his back was already wet with sweat, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling.

Inside, more than a dozen shirtless workers are sweating and shoveling coal blocks from the conveyor belt into the furnace, so that the furnace is always burning.

Fan Jinyan checked along the furnace one by one, until he saw the last one, and there was nothing in it except the raging fire.

Nima, isn't the demon here? But that thing doesn't belong to the soul of the underworld, and the mobile phone can't detect it, so you can only see it with the naked eye. Of course. If you want to see the existence of the demon, you can also divide people, and you have to be able to see the soul state of the person, so you can see it. If everyone could see it, it would have caused an uproar long ago.

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan turned to Song Guomin and asked, "Old Song, apart from here, is there any place where the temperature is high?" ”

Song Guomin shook his head and said, "Our city is hundreds of kilometers away. It's just one of our power plants. And there are no other heavy industries, except for the heating company next door, which is the hottest we have. ”

Fan Jinyan couldn't help scratching his head, "Is the heating company turning off the fire now?" ”

"No! Although it's summer. But there were still people on duty there to keep the room running. Song Guomin said.

Fan Jinyan thought about it, anyway, the demon was not here. It doesn't hurt to go to the heating company next door. Thinking of this, he said goodbye to Song Guomin. Drive the car to the heating company a kilometer away.

Since it was summer, it was very deserted outside the heating company. The automatic chute door is closed.

After pressing the horn twice and no one opened the door, Fan Jinyan got out of the car and walked to the security room at the door.

Looking in from the window, Fan Jinyan was startled at first, and then realized that it was actually a person. Like the deceased person I saw the day before yesterday in the forensic department, there was also a ball of flesh lying in the house. Don't think about it, it must have been done by a demon.

Fan Jinyan first called He Qiang, and after explaining the situation here, he walked to the heating boiler workshop.

As soon as I opened the door of the workshop, I felt a wave of heat rushing towards me. The piles of coal in the house were scattered everywhere, and the whole ground was burned red. I saw a black one-horned humanoid monster lying on it, and it had more than a dozen human bones that had been burned on Friday. Don't think about it, this guy should be a demon, at this time it is sleeping soundly, and it doesn't feel anything abnormal at the door. Or rather, it doesn't take humans seriously at all.

Fan Jinyan didn't dare to act rashly, and hurriedly took out the headphone-like thing that the Jizo King Bodhisattva gave him and put it on his head. He didn't dare to use the blazing blade, and took out a sea soul knife that he had exchanged in the underworld before and held it in his hand.

Fan Jinyan stepped on the hot coal to go in and fight with the demon, unless his head was kicked by the donkey.

Just as he was sweating profusely from the heat at the door, a siren sounded in the direction of the gate. Sure enough, the demon was woken up, only to see it shake its head very dissatisfied, and roared angrily a few times, even if it was wearing headphones, it was still numb from the sound.

After the demon woke up, he also noticed the guy at the door who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was tilting his head to look at Fan Jinyan at this time, as if he thought that this person was stupid, and he didn't know how to run.

Fan Jinyan didn't dare to run, and now he only felt that his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

"Lao Fan ......" At this time, he heard He Qiang's voice from behind.

Fan Jinyan didn't dare to turn around, so he could only shout, don't come over. He Qiang is not stupid, even if Fan Jinyan doesn't say that, he won't run over stupidly, "Okay, then you're busy, we won't bother." ”

Fan Jinyan was so angry in his heart! It doesn't matter if this grandson doesn't help, he still talks cool things.

Seeing the change in Fan Jinyan's expression, the demon suddenly spoke: "You are very angry? Because of the people just now? ”

Suddenly, seeing that the demon could speak, Fan Jinyan opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't speak.

"You're surprised? No need to be surprised, I ate the souls of you humans and naturally speak the language of your humans. Seeing that Fan Jinyan didn't speak, the demon continued.

Fan Jinyan didn't know what other abilities the demon had besides sonic attacks, and he didn't dare to provoke it, so he asked in a gentle tone, "Why did you come to the ground, why did you eat human souls?" ”

"Why?" The demon laughed, and Fan Jinyan's ears hurt when he laughed, "This is to ask you humans!" For countless years, we have lived at ease in the center of the earth and have never fought with other peoples. But in the past 100 years, you have been mining excessively, wars, and making the bottom shell shake for a long time, and we are not at peace, do you still ask why? ”
