Chapter 206: The Banshee's Saying
"My lord, according to the secret visit of his subordinates, the loss of girls is not only in this palace, but also outside the palace, and there have been frequent cases of missing girls in recent days. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"There is a daughter village hundreds of miles away from the capital, and in the past month, there have been no less than a dozen missing girls. According to folklore, most of the missing girls are related to the banshee in Pansi Cave, saying that the banshee is trying to practice some kind of ecstasy Dafa, and she specially catches girls to eat. ”
But the local government did not agree with this statement, saying that the people were talking about it to confuse the people, and there were monsters in the world. However, it has been a month since the first girl disappeared, and the government has not found out why. Now the people are so frightened that at night the people close their doors, so that the whole street is empty. ”
Xiaoyudian didn't care about drinking water along the way because he was in a hurry, and now when he speaks, he can't help but have a hoarse voice, and the words he says seem to be on fire.
When Dugu Mou heard this, his brows twisted into pimples, he didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. Before, he only thought that the disappearance of these girls might be related to those flower thieves, who snatched the girls, first Jian and then killed, and then threw their bodies into the wilderness. But I didn't expect a banshee to appear in the middle. He put his hands behind his back, and his heart grew heavier.
If it's really a banshee, then the only way to ask a mage is to help. But this is just folklore, and whether it is true or false has not yet been confirmed. It seems that only by finding out who the murderer is can we make the next step.
"Xiaoyudian, what do you think about this?" Dugu Mou raised his head and looked at the new fourth-rank guard with a knife like a torch. This guard was personally recommended to him by Cheng Yanjin, and he and Cheng Yanjin are inseparable friends, based on this alone, Xiaoyudian's relationship with himself is much deeper. Dugumou has always treated him as his nephew, so he doesn't hide anything from him. Like this kind of big case in the palace that is tightly sealed to outsiders and only a few people know about it, he only privately told Xiaoyudian to handle it, which shows that he has trust in Xiaoyudian.
Dugu conspired to let it be done, that is what the queen mother asked to do. Now, the head manager is a celebrity in front of the mother, who doesn't know who in this harem? Although Xiaoyudi has just arrived, he can still see the things in this palace. Therefore, as long as Dugu Mou explains what he does, he never asks why, just do it with all his heart.
"My lord, can you give me a glass of water to drink first?" Xiaoyudian's throat is uncomfortable, and if she says a few more words, I'm afraid her throat will be torn.
Dugu Mou realized that Xiaoyudian had been in the door for a long time, and he hadn't even drunk his saliva. Hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of herbal tea for Xiaoyudian.
"Here, it's not too late to moisten your throat first."
Xiao Yudian took the teacup, drank it in one gulp, then wiped her lips and said, "I think, it's not impossible for the banshee to say." If it was done by manpower, how could it leave some clues for such a long time, but the government has been checking for so many days and has no eyebrows, so ...... It's not that simple. And if it was the monster's doing, then the mysterious disappearance of these girls may make sense. ”
"You see, the disappearances of girls all have one thing in common, which is that the time happens at night, and it only happens when the girl is out alone. Flower thieves don't necessarily have to do it at night, as long as they have the opportunity during the day, they can also use their hands to rob people. Besides, flower thieves don't finish committing crimes in the capital overnight, and immediately run to such a far place to commit crimes. Unless he has the ability to fly. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Dugumou nodded, noncommittal about Xiaoyudian's analysis.
“…… But if it's a banshee, I'm afraid the palace guards won't work, and we'll have to ask the mage for help. Dugu Mou said melancholy.
"Don't worry, adults, I have a sister who has some ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, she happened to go to her daughter's village yesterday to run errands, and when she encountered such a thing, she has traced all the way to Pansiling, and it is estimated that there will be eyebrows in a few days."
"So good, so good." Dugumou's brows furrowed, and a smile resurfaced on his face. "You go and join your sister quickly, so that she can help, if there are not enough people, we can send more people, and we must investigate this matter thoroughly to the end, so as to reassure the people. I'm going to report to the queen, I guess she'll be in a hurry. ”
Bingyu and Sasha searched for several days on the huge Pansi Ridge, and finally found a cave in a cliff. At the mouth of the cave there was a pine tree growing out of a crack in the stone, and the pine tree grew along the mountain, and the huge canopy almost covered most of the hole. As soon as the two of them flashed, they flew to the trunk of the tree, and through the gap in the tree, they vaguely saw three blood-red characters engraved above the entrance of the cave, "Purple Cloud Cave".
In order not to startle the snake, neither of them spoke, but just made eye contact. Bingyu looked at Sasha, meaning to say, "Have you been here?" ”
Sasha obviously understood the meaning in Bingyu's eyes, and waved her hand, meaning that she had never been to this place either.
So Bing Yu made a gesture, meaning that I will go in first, and then you will act according to the situation.
Sasha nodded, apparently understanding Bingyu's gesture.
Bingyu brushed aside the pine branches, quietly stepped her feet on the boulder at the entrance of the cave, and then jumped into the cave.
The cave was dark and damp, with the sound of water dripping. Bing Yu walked a few steps into the cave, and suddenly heard someone ask, "Who is it?" ”
A girl's voice echoed in the empty cave. Bingyu replied: "I'm Xiaolongnu, I'm looking for Jin Liuli, is she there?" ”
"Little Dragon Girl?" The girl muttered to herself, and quickly searched in the memory bank, and the result of the search was that she didn't seem to know this person in her memory. It is estimated that it is the same party of the demon girl, Su Su'er thought. But judging by the tone of her voice, this person should not be a threat to her. Let's take a look.
"Who are you?"
"......" Bingyu didn't expect her to ask like this, so she was speechless for a while. After a while, Bing Yu said, "I'm her friend. ”
Sure enough, it was the same party. Su Su said secretly in her heart. Since he is in a group with the demon girl, he is probably not a good person, so he should take her away first.
"She's not here, you might as well look for her elsewhere." Su Suer said.
“?” A huge question mark popped up above Bing Yu's head, "If it's not here, where will it be if it's not here?" This girl must have misunderstood me and mistaken me for the enchantress's accomplice. It seems that Jin Liuli is here, and it is estimated that something has gone out at this moment, as long as I wait here, I will definitely be able to wait until the demon girl comes back. ”
In order to reassure the man, Bingyu had to pretend to withdraw from the cave.
Listening to the footsteps that gradually faded away, Su Su'er's hanging heart fell, but disappointment immediately swept over. It would be great if someone came to save her, but in this deep mountain and old forest, and in this high cave, even if someone tried to save her, they would not find her.
Su Su'er thought about it, and couldn't help but cry, it seems that there is no chance to return to her daughter's village and return to her mother in this life, rather than this, it is better to die.
Su Su slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the bottomless valley, and then looked at the pale blue sky, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly. Then, she opened her arms, closed her eyes, and leaped.
The body is as light as a leaf in the wind, and the sound of the whirring wind comes from the ears, and the free-fall flight brings a particularly comfortable feeling. If it weren't for the fact that her heart was falling like a lump of lead, she would have felt better. Suddenly, for a moment, she regretted her actions, but it was too late, there was no regret medicine in the world, she could only continue to fall.
After accepting the fact that she was about to die again, Su Su'er became calm. Instead of nervousness, fear, hesitation and helplessness, she stretched out her arms vigorously to make her flying posture more beautiful.
At this moment, something suddenly wrapped around her thin waist and stopped her falling. She thought, it is estimated that she has arrived in the underworld, and Xiaobai has already come to collect her.
She opened her eyes to see what was going on around her. But when she opened her eyes, no, she was hanging in mid-air, the sun was still there, and the valley was there, but she hadn't touched the bottom of the valley yet. The next second, she felt her body slowly rising. I'm not dreaming. She pinched her thighs hard. "Oops." She screamed, and the pain was honest enough to convey to her the fact that she was still alive.
Su Su'er felt confused, and when she stood at the mouth of the cave again, she saw that the little dragon girl was tightening her belt, and Su Su'er seemed to understand something.
"You saved me?" Su Su steadied and asked.
"It seems that you are not a goblin, but you were captured by a goblin." The little dragon girl looked at her, and the otherworldly beauty immediately shocked the girl's heart.
"Uh-huh." Su Su'er nodded.
"That's ......" Su Su'er instinctively shrank down when she saw Sasha next to the little dragon girl. I guess I was scared by Sasha's goblin energy.
"I'm Jin Liuli's junior sister, and my master asked me to come to her." Sasha raised her eyebrows, looking arrogant and rude.
When a few people returned to the cave, Su Su'er had already explained her life experience and Bingyu in detail. Bingyu knew that she was a girl from Daughter Village, so she asked, "Do you know where the other missing girls are?" ”
"I think they've probably been eaten by the goblin. From the day I came here, all I've seen was a cat spirit who had been here, and then the goblin. I haven't seen anyone else. ”
"Why didn't my senior sister eat you?" Sasha asked.
"She said I was different from others, so she didn't eat me, but asked me to be her maidservant, cleaning her room and doing her laundry and cooking."
"Senior sister's personality has changed, she used to be just a little hot-tempered, but she never ate people. Now, she eats people without blinking, and her behavior is weird, it is estimated that she has gone crazy by practicing Ecstasy Dafa. ”
A few people talked in the cave, and before they knew it, two hours had passed.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the cave.
