Time always flies by and will slip away when you don't know it. It's eleven o'clock in the morning on March 3rd, and there are still four hours left before the "twenty-four hours" that the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor said. At this point in time, not long after Mu Fan got up, Mu Che and Cheng Xin had already arrived at Shao Zhibo's doorstep.

And in a garrison combat conference room near the southern area of Guangyuan City, the heaven-level demon hunter of the demon hunting group was sitting alone in this huge conference room.

Bai Yan was still wearing a yellow trench coat and white gloves, and his expression was still the same poker face, so he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

On the wall facing the eyes of the demon hunter team was a map of Guangyuan City, which covered most of the wall, and the map was also full of red and blue pins, which were found in all areas of the city.

The red dots on the map indicate where the missing people lived in the two days following the battle with the Earth Splitter Spider Emperor the night before, and the blue dots indicate where the Demon Hunters and the Ministry of Military Affairs found the monsters in the past two days.

On this map, it can be clearly seen that there are far more red pins in the southern area of Guangyuan City than in other places, but there are very few blue pins. This means that the missing people in the south of the city were secretly transferred by the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor, and were not transformed into demon beasts by the Spider Emperor.

While Bai Yan was still thinking about it, the door of the conference room was pushed open. Ji Tian, the elite of the Xuan Group of the Demon Hunting Group, walked in, and Ji Tian was still wearing a corset underneath, and the outside was wearing the Ji family's unique Taoist robes.

The robes of the Ji Tian family and the common ephedra or off-white robes, their robes are light blue. Ji Tian's face was a little tired, it seemed that he didn't have a good rest last night.

Ji Tian put an opened letter in front of Bai Yan and explained the contents of the letter: "The support team of the Demon Hunting Group from the south was blocked by the group of demon beasts that suddenly gathered in the south of Guangyuan City. ”

Bai Yan smiled, a tone that he had already expected: "It seems that the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor is indeed hiding in the south of the city. ”

Ji Tian leaned his back against the table and asked puzzledly, "You summoned the reinforcements of the Demon Hunting Group from four directions, just to confirm where the Spider Emperor is?"

"Of course not. "It's because we really need support." ”

At this time, another person walked in outside the door, it was Xiao Die, the assistant of Xiao Long Xiao Non-commissioned Officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Xiao Die was still carrying a box in her hand, and she walked calmly to Bai Yan and opened the box. Inside the box were many clear glass bottles containing a pale blue liquid.

Without waiting for Bai Yan to ask, Xiao Die first said: "Captain Bai, this is the latest batch of Spider Emperor Poison Antidote developed by the Divine Medicine Building, which can deal with the newly discovered Spider Emperor Poison Type III. ”

Ji Tian picked up one of the bottles of potion and shook it, and Bai Yan also stood up and straightened his collar: "Is the usage the same as before?"

"Yes, it can only be effective by taking it orally at the moment. As long as you take the antidote, the humans who have become demon beasts due to soul bewitchment will turn back to their original state."

After Bai Yan covered the box, he solemnly asked Xiao Die: "How many troops can the Ministry of Military Affairs still be able to mobilize now." ”

Xiao Die was stunned, because the number of troops was confidential: "I have nothing to say." But Captain Xiao is currently on standby. ”

"The Spider Emperor is in the south of the city, so let the people from the military department hurry over. After saying that, Bai Yan and Ji Tian left the conference room.

The people of the demon hunting group don't often fly demon beasts, so after leaving the garrison, Bai Yan and Ji Tian took a horse-drawn carriage to the southern area of Guangyuan City.

In the carriage of the carriage, Ji Tian couldn't help but ask: "Chengnan District is so big, where can we go to find the Demon Spider Emperor." ”

"Last night, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the people of our demon hunting group have rescued most of the people who have turned into demon beasts due to soul bewitchment, but in the southern part of the city, there are still more than half of the missing people who have not been found. ”

"Could it be that they are hiding in the Demon Spider Emperor's lair after becoming demon beasts?"

"Yes or no, we'll find out later. ”

Although the speed of the organ carriage could not catch up with the excellent flying monsters, it was much faster than those demon beast carriages, and it only took more than half an hour for Bai Yan and Ji Tian to arrive at their destination, Dunke Street in the south of the city.

Last night, the man who lived in the house at No. 4 Dunker Street was one of the missing people who had not yet been recovered.

After Ji Tian pried the door of the house open, he found that the house was quite clean, like a girl's home.

"Ji Tian, look at the footprints. ”

Hearing the order, Ji Tian took out a talisman from his arms and threw it into the air, and the yellow talisman dispersed into Yuan Force particles in mid-air and scattered to the ground, and some golden footprints began to gradually appear on the ground, which were all left by the occupants in the past two days.

Bai Yan walked around the house: "There are no footprints of demon beasts, it seems that the missing person did leave the house by himself without turning into a demon beast." ”

"What does this mean?" Ji Tian didn't understand.

Bai Yan pulled a chair and sat down, still crossing Erlang's legs: "When does the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor need food other than the soul. ”

"When you qualify. Ji Tian replied without hesitation, "You mean that the Earth Splitting Demon Spider Emperor wants to advance to the Demon God Realm in Guangyuan City!"

"If you want to be promoted to a demon god, you must have a place that can provide him with enough demon power. ”

Bai Yan smiled, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: "Calculate the time, it's almost time." ”

As soon as the words fell, the communication bracelet in Ji Tian's hand rang, and it was Mu Yushuang, who was also a Xuan-level elite of the Demon Hunting Group, called.

"Two Royal College students have just reported a murder at 13 Lok Hung Street. ”

After Bai Yan asked Mu Yushuang some basic information, he rushed to Luohong Street with Ji Tian. And the people who live at No. 13 Luohong Street are also the family of Shao Zhibo, a friend of Cheng Xin's father.

When Bai Yan and Ji Tian came to No. 13 Luohong Street, Shao Zhibo's home had been blocked by the guards, and there were many people watching the excitement around.

Bai Yan and Ji Tian came to the living room and found Mu Yushuang checking the body. But I didn't see the two Royal Academy students who reported the crime, it seems that Mu Yushuang took it upon herself to let the two of them go.

Shao Zhibo fell on the floor of the living room, and his wife Xun Zhu sat on the sofa in the living room with her throat wiped out. The servants and cooks all lay in all corners of the house, and some were even brutally mutilated.

"Did you find anything?" asked Bai Yan, flipping through the information handed by the guard.

"Nope. Mu Yushuang shook her head, "It's all a one-hit kill, and I can't tell which sect or faction is used." ”

Ji Tian was not idle, he took out the yellow talisman and threw it away, the source spirit particles covered the entire ground, and the chaotic footprints began to appear on the ground. Although the trails on the ground looked like a mess, Bai Yan's eyes were able to perceive the subtle differences in these footprints.

He classified and selected the footprints on the ground in his mind, gradually analyzed the characters represented by each footprint, and deduced the entire course of the case.

This Shao Zhibo's footprints disappeared from the outside of the living room all the way to the location of death, and there were also Shao Zhibo's footprints near the deceased Xun Zhu. No footprints of the suspected killer were seen in the entire room. ”

Mu Yushuang was skeptical of Bai Yan's inference: "You don't want to say that after this Shao Zhibo killed everyone, he then ran to the hall to commit suicide." ”

Of course it can't be, Shao Zhibo didn't have the murder weapon he used to commit suicide. Bai Yan stood up, "It is obvious that someone killed everyone in Shao Zhibo's shoes, and then put the deceased Shao Zhibo in the living room. The killer then took the murder weapon and escaped through the living room window. ”

At this time, Ji Tian, who was spreading talismans outside the living room, hurriedly walked in: "In the study on the second floor, I found an empty box with a lot of blood stains, and a large amount of antiseptic medicine in it. And I also found a lot of messy footprints in the backyard, which should be where the missing people gathered. ”

Bai Yan smiled confidently: "It seems that my inference is not wrong, Shao Zhibo was already dead before, and the murderer who was bewitched by the Demon Spider Emperor pretended to be Shao Zhibo to transfer the missing people twice, and finally killed all the people in this family." ”

Mu Yushuang asked Bai Yan: "Who is the murderer?"

"It doesn't matter who the killer is. Bai Yan stood beside the bed and looked into the distance, "The important thing is that we know that the purpose of the Spider Emperor is to advance in Guangyuan City and then escape from here. To accomplish this, it needs food beyond the soul and sufficient demonic power. ”

"But Guangyuan City has a great array to protect the country, even if it becomes a demon god, it is impossible to escape from Guangyuan City. ”

"So the Earth Splitter Spider Emperor needs an excellent place. In that place, the murderer pretending to be Shao Zhibo was able to easily provide food for the Spider Emperor, and there was a steady stream of demonic power for him to advance, and he was even able to destroy the Great Protector Array of Guangyuan City.

This place, it's not hard to find!"
