Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Sorrowful Life (1)
"Yuan Fang, do you have any clues?"
"I didn't ...... No. β
Braving the rain, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang strolled through the streets and alleys, searching for the slightest trace of the demon seed.
However, this fine rain has covered up a lot of breath, and even Li Yuanfang, who has a keen sense of smell, can hardly find traces of the demon seed.
Because the news of the invasion of the demon seed in Chang'an spread like a tide, almost the entire Chang'an City was in a panic at this momentββββ the streets that were originally crowded with people had become empty alleys without people at this time.
"Master Di, could it be someone's prank......
Li Yuanfang guessed cautiously.
"Hmph, I don't know, it's really someone's prank."
"There is a demon invasion in Chang'an, you must kill the ......"
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Ming Shiyin's disgusting smile, as if the whole world was under his control, and everyone was just a pawn in his chess game.
However, since it was ordered by the empress, it had to be carried out.
Although the content of Ming Shiyin's advice may be a sinister conspiracy, Di Renjie can only observe until he gets enough evidence.
Ming Shiyin...... You and your ridiculous hexagram, I will judge you one day.
"That...... Master Di......"
While Di Renjie was thinking about Ming Shiyin's purpose, Li Yuanfang suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong, Yuan Fang?"
Looking at the shaking big ears, Li Yuanfang seemed to have something urgent.
"Master Di, why don't we investigate separately?"
Cautiously and tentatively asked, Li Yuanfang saw Di Renjie frowning slightly, and immediately explained: "Lord Biting Jin and Lord Wan'er have both gone to the east and west to search, so it's better to ...... How about I go to the North Gate and search? This might be a bit more efficient. β
"But I'll be worried if I'm left alone."
Stroking Yuan Fang's cute big ears, Di Renjie looked a little worried.
The strength of Cheng Biting Jin and Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie is very clear, and he does not have the slightest worry.
And Li Yuanfang is different from the two in front of him, although he is his own little follower, but in terms of experience, he is not enough, and in terms of strength, it is not enough to be able to take charge alone.
Moreover, the character of this guy ...... It's too soft.
Therefore, this is also why Di Renjie asked Li Yuanfang to follow him all the time to carry out tasks, just to make him become like himself, vigorous and resolute.
"But I also want to be as reliable as you are."
It was equivalent to being rejected by Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang's big ears drooped a little, and he looked depressed.
"Well, I really can't help you."
A little helplessly patted his head, Di Renjie patted Li Yuanfang's shoulder heavily.
"If I find out that you are lazy, I will not be gentle in this month's salary assessment."
"Understood!"
After receiving Di Renjie's answer, the frustration on Li Yuanfang's face was swept away, and with a grateful smile, he ran in the direction of the north gate.
β......β
Seeing Li Yuanfang's back disappear into the drizzle, Di Renjie was silent, but his expression was extremely serious.
......
Walking in the drizzle, Lu Yu only felt a suffocating dullness.
Moreover, the boredom in my heart gradually turned into an inexplicable palpitation.
Along the way, I found that the streets and alleys were empty.
Originally, I thought that people would disappear on the street just to hide from the rain, but a passer-by who came in front of him attracted Lu Yu's attention.
"Hey, why don't you run yet?!"
As if hitting the top of an iron tower, the passerby's head was a little dizzy, and when he looked up and saw the tall and thin boy, he couldn't help but remind.
"Run? Why run? β
Lu Yu was confused, but looking at the extremely nervous looks of passers-by, it didn't seem like he was joking.
"Demon Seed! A demon seed has entered Chang'an! Run, kid! β
Finally, the voice trembling at the mention of the demon seed was put down, and the passers-by fled without looking back.
"Demon Seed ......"
Looking at the disappearing backs of passers-by in a daze, the inexplicable palpitations in Lu Yu's heart gradually began to become clear.
The demon seed enters Chang'an...... How can it be?
According to common sense, if there is an invasion of the demon seed, then the Great Wall, which is the first and strongest line ββββof defense, will inevitably find the demon seed and destroy it.
So, how did the demon seed enter Chang'an City?
However, Lu Yu can't think much about it now. Since there is a demon invasion, then as a member of the Great Wall Guard, he must destroy it.
It's been a long time since he killed the demon seed, and Lu Yu can't help but think of the scene when he was on the Great Wall in the past, fighting with Mulan and them.
Perhaps only when the demon species is completely eliminated will humanity usher in a new dawn, right?
With this thought, Lu Yu continued to march in the rain.
......
"That mournful voice seems to be around here......"
Li Yuanfang was alone, searching in a secluded place.
Just now, the reason why he proposed to Di Renjie to act alone was because his big sensitive ears captured a trace of the sorrow of life.
The scream sounded very miserable, as if it was trapped in a whirlpool, on the verge of death and despair.
Moreover, this sorrow seemed to guide him to come.
"It's, bloodstains!"
Following the guidance of the sorrow, Li Yuanfang unexpectedly found that there was still bright red blood on the ground that had not been washed away by the rain.
The smell of blood was strong, and it was clear that it was not human blood.
It's not human, is it......
"Demon Seed?!"
When the huge body appeared in front of him, Li Yuanfang was directly startled and couldn't help but scream.
That's right, lying straight on the ground, although the breath is a little weak, but the huge body is still sinking with the breathββββ this is the real pure-blood demon seed.
"Demon Seed! You don't want to hurt anyone! β
Although he was so scared that his feet trembled, Li Yuanfang still held back the fear in his heart and took out the dart.
However, even though the sharp cold light had been pointed at the heart of the demon seed, the demon seed did not have the slightest intention of resisting.
"You...... Are you going to kill me? β
Unexpectedly, the demon seed actually spoke.
"I am the magistrate of Chang'an, so I naturally want to eliminate harm for the people!"
swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although he said so, but for some reason, Li Yuanfang couldn't bear to really do it at the moment.
Is it because of fear? Or is it because it was seriously injured and couldn't bear to do it?
"Eliminate harm for the people...... Hehe, you're also a demon seed, right? Are you going to do it to your kind? β
The demon seed seemed to be badly injured, and even though it was able to speak, it was extremely difficult, and the smell of blood filled the air, but it was quickly erased by the drizzle.
"You evil beings, I am not the same kind as you! Sooner or later, I and I will definitely wipe you all out! β
Li Yuanfang shouted loudly, but his hands were trembling, and the darts in his hands were even more difficult to move.
"Evil...... Ha ha! Amusing! Are you righteous?! β
also laughed presumptuously, and the voice of the demon seed became more and more fierce, and it became more and more miserable.
