Not to mention that Shao Zhibo, who was a city defense official, was taken aback, and even Cheng Xin, who was sitting next to Mu Che, was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Che to tell the purpose of their trip so quickly.

Fortunately, Cheng Xin's head turned quickly: "We received the task of the school." The school asked us to do a survey here, and I remembered that Uncle Shao also lived here, so I happened to come to see you. ”

"Oh......" Shao Zhibo nodded and then asked with concern, "Tell me what kind of investigation it is, and see if my uncle can help with anything." ”

Although he wanted to use an excuse to prevaricate, Cheng Xin decided to take the initiative after thinking about it: "It's about the recent incident of many people missing in Chengnan District, and the school asked us to go to the missing person's home to investigate clues. ”

"Well, I think I've heard my friends talk about that. Mrs. Xun Zhu interjected at this time, "I heard that it was a perverted murderer who did it, eh, Xin Xin, if this thing is dangerous, don't go." ”

"It's okay aunt, it's just a simple cutscene. Cheng Xin comforted.

"Hmm...... I've also asked someone to investigate this. Shao Zhibo crossed his hands on his chest and said meaningfully, "But the people in the garrison were all silent, as if someone had deliberately blocked the news." Recently, when I went to work, I met a few people from the demon hunting group, and the water for this matter is estimated to be very deep, so you should pay attention to safety. ”

"Hmm. Cheng Xin nodded and stood up, "Then Mu Che and I will go to investigate first and not disturb Uncle Shao's work." ”

"I haven't been here for so long, why don't you stay for dinner and then leave. Mrs. Xun Zhu hurriedly grabbed Cheng Xin.

"No need for dinner, tonight is the banquet for the freshmen of the Royal Academy. Cheng Xin shirked and said, "In a few days, my father will also come back to Guangyuan City, and I will come to visit you with my father at that time." ”

......

It was already 11:40 when they left Shao Zhibo's home, and because the two felt that they had more time, they found a private room in a nearby restaurant and decided to fill their stomachs first.

"Do you think that Shao Zhibo is suspicious?" Mu Che asked as he bit the chicken leg with a big grin.

Cheng Xin nodded, she only ate a few bites of food before stopping her chopsticks: "I remember that Uncle Shao should be left-handed, but what I saw today is right-handed." ”

But this made Mu Che feel that this matter was a bit contradictory: "If it is such an obvious difference, how could his wife not find out." ”

"That's what makes me feel weird. Cheng Xin rubbed his forehead, he didn't have a clue, "Forget it, Uncle Shao will put it aside for the time being, we have to go to the next location." ”

After speaking, Cheng Xin took out a document from a shoulder bag beside him and handed it to Mu Che, it was not a list of missing people, but a list of the wounded and a confession.

Mu Che looked at it: "These seem to be the people who have been sent to the hospital because of their injuries in the past two days. ”

Cheng Xin took a sip of tea, "These people have one thing in common, that is, after they were injured and sent to the hospital, the person who beat him disappeared the next day." ”

Mu Che's thoughts are relatively simple: "Could it be that the people who were beaten want revenge, so they ......?"

Cheng Xin shook his head and said, "Classmate Mu Che, have you heard of the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor?"

Mu Che put down the information in his hand: "Is it the kind of demon beast that can parasitize in the brain of a creature?"

Cheng Xin nodded: "Last night, Zhao Deling, the guardian of the formation eye of the No. 106 National Protector Great Array in the south of the city, opened the large array privately, and a Earth-splitting Demon Spider Emperor slipped in. ”

"Why haven't I heard of this at all?"

"The Ministry of Military Affairs and the garrison have blocked the news, and I only learned about it from Senior Sister Lu Zhi today. ”

Mu Che's eyebrows tightened, he knew that the poison of the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor was terrifying. He is also very good at soul bewitchment, able to make humans unconscious and become their own puppets.

"You mean, all the disappearances in Guangyuan City in the past two days were caused by the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor? But as far as I know, even the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor of the Demon God Realm doesn't have such great ability. ”

"It is not possible to draw conclusions at this time, after all, there are still many clues in this case that we have not seen. Cheng Xin smiled and stood up, "It just so happens that there are two people who were injured because of this incident in a nearby medical center, we can go over and take a look." ”

Cheng Xin has the token of the investigator on his body, and the person who has the token of the investigator can exercise the same powers as the captain of the garrison, one of the powers is to directly collect and investigate the information of others without notifying the relevant departments.

With the help of Cheng Xin's search officer ID, Mu Che and Cheng Xin easily obtained the right to interrogate patients in the hospital. Led by a nurse, Cheng Xin jotted down new confessions from the two wounded. As Cheng Xin expected at the beginning, the confessions of the two wounded were very similar.

"When I came home last night, I saw my neighbor walking towards me in the distance. When I called out to him, he rushed over like crazy, pounced on me, and beat me up. By the time I woke up, I was lying in the hospital. ”

The confessions of the two are basically like this, and they don't seem to have found anything. If there are any new clues, it is that the nurse told Cheng Xin and the two that many bodies in the morgue of the hospital were missing last night.

"No matter how you look at it, it feels like the whole event has a weird atmosphere. Mu Che looked at the confession document in his hand and followed Cheng Xin to the outside of the hospital.

At this time, Cheng Xin reasoned: "In fact, these two documents can prove that all the disappearance cases were done by the same person, and the same method was used." ”

"But the injured don't seem to see any suspicious people, and some cases happen at the same time and in different places, how can one person do it. ”

"Does Mu Che know about the Demon Hunters?"

"I know, it's an organization that specializes in hunting monsters and protecting the safety of the city...... Are you trying to say that the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor used soul bewitchment to lure all the missing people to one place?"

"It's hard for one person to have so many people disappear at the same time, but the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor doesn't have to. So we have to go to this place to make sure. ”

"What kind of place is this?" asked Mu Che as he looked at the note Cheng Xin handed over.

"This is the route from the hospital to the home of the missing, just coming from the wounded. ”

In order to confirm whether the case of the disappearance of people in a large area of Guangyuan City was related to the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor, the two of them decided to go to the missing person's home to investigate. Guided by the route on the note, Mu Che and the two soon came to the place where the missing man lived. The place is a residential area three kilometers away from Shao Zhibo's house, and the missing man's house looks new, as if it has just been built.

Mu Che took advantage of the wave of violent demolition when no one was around, and successfully entered the home of the missing person. The house is designed with one bedroom and one living room, about 50 square meters. The house was surrounded by all kinds of places, and there were all kinds of books in the room. It looks like the home of a dead fat house that usually stays at home and doesn't go out.

"It doesn't look like there's anything special. ”

"It's not a murder scene, there's a lot of things you can't see with the naked eye. Cheng Xin's eyes began to sharpen.

Cheng Xin took out a metal box the size of a book from his shoulder bag. Cheng Xin opened the box, and on the right half of the box was some paper and a small pen, and on the left half of the box was a panel, on which were placed various tools used in detectives, such as magnifying glasses, recording stones, and transformation keys.

Cheng Xin picked out a stone from the panel on the left half of the box, and after injecting Yuan Li, the stone emitted three colors of light: red, gray, and white, and suspended it in mid-air.

"What is this?" asked Mu Che.

"This is called the Spirit Exploration Stone, which is carved with miniature formations and speech spirits, which can detect the fluctuations of demonic power, soul, and source power that have appeared in the room before. ”

As he spoke, Cheng Xin took out a booklet from his shoulder bag, which recorded the changes produced by the spirit stone when it detected different fluctuations.

After many confirmations, Cheng Xin said: "Soul ...... Call. ”

"Soul calling?" Mu Che knew about this thing, "Is it the spell that attracts the other party to his side through the soul band?" I heard that it will only work on people with weak souls. ”

"It seems that the Earth Splitter Spider Emperor wants to bring those who are missing together through soul calling. Cheng Xin pinched his chin and paced in the missing person's room, "But why did it do this, and where did these missing people go?"

"Is it because the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor is hungry and wants to eat some human flesh?" Mu Che suddenly made a joke.

Cheng Xin's eyebrows furrowed, and his brain was running rapidly: The Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor entered Guangyuan City the night before yesterday, but until now, the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor has not looked for it to leave here and return to the demon beast area. With the ability of the Spider Emperor, he can completely parasitize on the human body and swagger away from the city gate. However, the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor did not do this, but chose to stay in Guangyuan City, and caused such a big storm.

Cheng Xin suddenly thought of something: "Classmate Mu Che, do you know when the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor needs food other than the soul?"

Mu Che is still very familiar with the knowledge of demon beasts: "When you advance, when the Spider Emperor is promoted, your soul can't be converted into the energy of your body. When the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor was promoted, in addition to the food he needed other than the soul, he also needed a large number of source spirit particles to provide it with demonic power. ”

Cheng Xin showed an expression of "sure enough": "So the purpose of the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor staying in Guangyuan City is because there is a place in the city that can not only have humans as food, but also provide it with demonic power." This kind of place, where will it be?"

Cheng Xin, who was deep in thought again, suddenly saw a book on the desk, and she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Go to Uncle Shao's house, hurry!"
