Chapter 20: Death Row Horror Part I

At this time, outside the hotel, Mu Yushuang stood up from the ground and looked back a few times, only to find that the entire hotel had been sealed by the sky-covering array.

"Who arranged the Heaven Covering Array?" Mu Yushuang didn't remember that any of the members of the demon hunting group who came with him this time could arrange a first-grade formation.

"Who knows. Get on the bus first. ”

After saying that, Bai Yan put on his gloves, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, turned around and walked to the carriage parked in the aisle.

The carriages commonly used by civilians in the Qianyuan Empire were all pulled by domesticated demon beasts. However, the carriage used by the Demon Hunters is different, their cart is pulled by trap beasts, so the cart running on the road is quite eye-catching.

In this era of the gradual popularization of source stone technology, the trap beasts powered by the source stone are gradually taking the place of the beast trainer. Because the trap beasts are more easily accepted by the people, after all, no one knows if those tamed demon beasts will suddenly go crazy one day. It's just that there are still many people who can't afford to buy trap beasts.

Mu Yushuang's stomach was full of doubts now, but she still followed Bai Yan into the carriage.

After seeing Mu Yushuang get into the car, Bai Yan handed her a stack of documents: "Since nine o'clock this morning, a total of thirteen demon beast attacks have occurred. The targets of these demon beasts are basically people from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Demon Hunter Group, and I think you must also be the target of the Demon Spider Emperor, so I took a special look. ”

"How do you explain the people who disappeared from the sky-shading array and the hotel. Mu Yushuang carefully flipped through each report.

"It may have been done by the Cang family and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Captain Bai Yan crossed Erlang's legs and said, "From ten o'clock today, the people of the Cang family and the Ministry of Military Affairs will fully cooperate with the work of the demon hunting group. The Cang family is responsible for locking the location of the demon beast, the Ministry of Military Affairs is responsible for evacuating and controlling the scene, and the demon hunting group is responsible for cleaning up. There are as many as thirty-two low-level demon beasts cleared today, which is more than the normal workload in a month. ”

"In this way, the people of the Cang family have set up a sky-covering array in my hotel. Mu Yushuang seemed to have discovered a very serious problem, "The Ministry of Military Affairs has secretly dismissed the people in the hotel again, isn't that just using me as bait!"

"That's also a question that I'm weird about. "Bai Yan has obviously thought about this issue, "I confirmed with the people of the Cang family and the Ministry of Military Affairs that neither of them had been to that hotel. If that is the case, people who are not from the Cang family can unknowingly lay down a sky-covering array, and people who are not from the Ministry of Military Affairs can transfer people out of the hotel without knowing it, and it is estimated that there is only one person in the entire Guangyuan City. ”

"Who?"

"The first warlock of the empire, the Heavenly Master, Cang Sheng Mo. ”

"Cangsheng Mo ......" Mu Yushuang searched for the name in his mind, "It seems that I heard the master mention it, doesn't it mean that he can only stay in the palace after leaving the Cang family to become a heavenly master?"

"So this incident is not the intervention of the Heavenly Master, but the action of Emperor Pingxi. ”

Mu Yushuang had already guessed that the purpose of leaving herself alone in the hotel was to let herself destroy the demon beasts for them and do day jobs for them. But she didn't care, because the duty of the demon hunting group was to drive out demon beasts.

Mu Yushuang threw aside the documents in his hand: "Where did so many demon beasts come from in this Guangyuan City, isn't this the capital that will never be attacked by demon beasts?"

"That's not an ordinary sword-arm demon, it's all mutated from human corpses. ”

"Human corpses!" Mu Yushuang blinked and looked at Bai Yan incredulously.

Bai Yan took out a transparent glass bottle from the pocket of his coat, which contained a green liquid and shook it, only about a dozen drops: "At first, the Venom of the Spider Emperor would only make the corpse do some crazy actions. After more than a dozen hours of evolution, its venom can now mutate corpses and perform more complex actions. Fortunately, the venom was only effective against corpses, otherwise the whole city would have been a sensation. ”

"Isn't that as long as there are enough corpses, you can create a lot of demon beasts. ”

"How can it be so simple, the Qianyuan Empire is an empire that advocates cremation after death, and it is not easy to find a complete body. Bai Yan gently pinched the bottle, and the venom inside disappeared directly, "But in the early hours of this morning, all the corpses stored in the morgues of the three hospitals of Dongcun, Taihe, and Zhenyang were missing, and it is estimated that the spider emperor did it." ”

"But there are so many demon beasts, where is the Demon Spider Emperor going to hide them. ”

Hidden in the underground pipe network system. This is also thanks to the help of the Cang family, otherwise it would be really difficult to find them. ”

"So now that Earth-Splitting Demon Spider Emperor is still hiding in a corner of Guangyuan City and constantly creating demon beasts, right?"

Bai Yan shook his head and said, "The Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor is definitely still in the weak stage now, and it doesn't have that much energy to produce venom. The Spider Emperor's purpose in creating chaos was supposed to confuse the public and buy time for it to regain its strength. ”

"Then now the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor has been found?" Mu Yushuang looked out the window and gradually moved away from the city's scenery.

"Chengxi Death Row, the Demon Spider Emperor may be there. ”

Mu Yushuang quickly guessed why Bai Yan said that he was going to death row: "Could it be because there are many evil souls there?"

Bai Yan nodded rarely: "Whether it is a human or a demon beast, it takes a lot of strength to stabilize the realm. People need to replenish source power, and demon beasts need to replenish demon power. For the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor, the soul full of resentment, remorse, and anger is the best food to replenish the demonic power. Chengxi Death Row is its best choice!"

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Chengxi death row is located in the suburbs of Guangyuan City. The prisoners are all prisoners who have been convicted of capital or life imprisonment, and they may be vicious villains or ordinary people who have made a mistake and become hated for eternity.

According to the custom of the Qianyuan Empire, all condemned prisoners were to wait until the end of autumn to be beheaded. So most of the people on death row in the west of the city are now convicted of life sentences, and of course there are some death row prisoners who have been sentenced to death in the winter.

For example, this ordinary person who was imprisoned two months ago. His name was Wang Hao, and he was originally just a thirty-two-year-old ordinary middle-aged uncle. But one day, after suddenly discovering that his wife was cheating, he killed the man and his wife with a knife in a frenzy, and even harmed his family, even his own children.

Tonight, after eating the special "dinner" in the cell as usual, Wang Hao lay on his slate bed, looking at the dim light on the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

Illuminated by the faint white light, only the exhaust fan was left in the enclosed room whispering. And the sound of dripping water from nowhere is even more maddening, as if a corpse has fallen to the ceiling, and blood keeps dripping to the ground.

At this time, a demonic wind blew from nowhere, and the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly shook slowly, as if it was gently brushed by the ghost's hand. Wang Hao's body shuddered for some reason, and his body in the quilt gradually curled up together.

"Na~~"

Wang Hao's ears suddenly heard a woman's leisurely voice, and he covered his ears in fear, thinking that his wife's ghost had come to ask for his life.

"Do you regret it~~"

The ghostly voice came again. But when Wang Hao heard this voice that went straight to his heart, all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind. He began to complain in his heart about the injustice of fate, about the ruin of his painstakingly managed love, about the child he had raised for six years for a man he didn't know, and about why the laws of the empire punished a man who was destroyed by society......

The dissatisfaction in Wang Hao's heart accumulated more and more, and finally he began to sit up unbearably and let out a sad roar. He didn't shed tears, but his eyes were already red.

"Drink it~~"

Wang Hao followed the sound and looked to the left, and saw that on the iron table in the cell, there was a small glass bottle, and the bottle contained a dark green liquid.

He rolled sideways to the ground, step by step towards the table. His face began to grow hideous, and the corners of his mouth continued to drool like a wild beast seeing its prey. Wang Hao lay on the table, picked up the bottle and poured the liquid directly into his mouth.

As soon as the green liquid hit his stomach, Wang Hao let out a screaming sound that cracked his lungs.

At this time, the jailer who heard Wang Hao's loud roar arrived, and he opened the small window on the stone door and shouted inside: "What is the noise, I want to die!"

But what the jailer was about to feel and hear next was more than he could have imagined!

The first thing he heard was the roar of a giant monster, a sound that could almost pierce his eardrums through the small window. Then a blast of impact was sent directly through the iron door to the jailer, who was overthrown to the ground by a powerful force, and the iron door in front of him was knocked out of shape by the monster inside.

At this time, the whole prison sounded a shrill siren, which was a signal that the death row had entered the highest state of alert.

The jailer, who heard the sound of the horn, reacted and hurriedly got up and prepared to escape. But in the cells in front of him, the roars of demon beasts suddenly came out one after another, and the doors were also deformed by the "bang" one after the other. So the jailer froze in place, not daring not to move......

However, at this time, Bai Yan, who was still on his way to death row in the west of the city, received a communication from Ji Tian, a subordinate of the Demon Hunting Group: "Captain, we are late......"

"What's wrong?" Bai Yan frowned.

"When our people rushed to death row in the west of the city, the prison was almost occupied by mutated demon beasts. Ji Tian on the other side of the communication stone said with some distress, "We and the people from the Ministry of Military Affairs are currently cleaning up the demon beasts on the periphery of death row. ”

"Are there any monsters that have escaped outside? ”

"It shouldn't be, when we came, there was already a sky-covering array around the death row, and it should be someone from the Cang family who came in advance. ”

Bai Yan's expression gradually became serious, and in this case, Bai Yan was very likely to have left the death row in the west of the city.

However, as a member of the demon hunting group, Bai Yan said coldly: "Wait, I'll be there soon!"
