Chapter 332 Provocation
After listening to Zhao Ying's story, Chen Zheng and the others could have already put their suspicions on the Five Ghost Gates, because they couldn't estimate the strength of the Five Ghost Gates, and there were no other more favorable evidence left at the scene, so they didn't have some clue about whether they should look for this Five Ghost Sect Chen Zheng.
However, Chen Zheng arranged for someone to pass on the news that the perpetrator might be the remnant of the Five Ghost Sect to the Ministry of Intelligence, the City Guards, and the people of the City Guard.
The leader of the intelligence department is called Ma Rui. It looks ordinary, just like an ordinary person, but the essence in his eyes can show the extraordinaryness of this person, and the ordinary appearance is just a disguise, in order to be able to better complete the task.
Although they are all different departments of the Military Intelligence Department, the people from the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department never interfere with each other's activities, and each department has its own secrets, so Chen Zheng and the others did not ask the people from the Intelligence Department what they were doing in the palace, but after listening to the reminders from the action team, they also dispatched people to start looking up all kinds of things about the Five Ghost Sect from various ancient books.
Of course, the same is true for the castle guard and the city guard.
Now they know too little information in their hands, so Chen Zheng directly reminded his subordinates to pay attention to some safety and try not to be too far away from their current station.
The next two or three days were uneventful.
Dingbei City is peaceful, and everyone seems to have forgotten that the murderer has not been caught in the murder case that just happened in the city a few days ago.
As a result, on the fourth day, another family, the size of which was about the same as the Wang family, was also destroyed, and the wounds and sobriety on the deceased were basically consistent with the Wang family.
But this time, the official has just dealt with the situation of this family, and there is another case of extermination in the city, but this time it is not a family but a chamber of commerce. It is a chamber of commerce established by a few businessmen to keep warm. A total of more than 70 people, including the guards and the coachman, were killed.
None of the goods left in the chamber of commerce have been touched, and the method of death is exactly the same as in the previous two cases.
After three consecutive extermination times, the methods were all the same, and it was obvious that there was such a group of people who were suspected of being the remnants of the Five Ghost Sects lurking in Dingbei City, and the number of times they did it became more and more frequent, either they had an urgent need, or they were provoking the officials of Dingbei City.
The impact of the three massacres can be very large. Especially in a big city like Dingbei City, there are a lot of business trips. Merchants from the Northern Yan and the grasslands will choose to trade here, because it is convenient and fast.
But there is a very important premise for doing business in Dingbei City, which is safety. In the event of a war, such as the situation of the steppe people, the trade on the side of Dingbei City will be greatly reduced. Such border cities face the threat of war at any time and at any time. Even the most daring businessman could not risk his own life and rush into Dingbei City Li to do business in the midst of the war.
And this series of annihilation incidents and the advent of war have some similarities.
So far, more than 200 people have died in less than a week. The murderer came and went without a trace. Despite official pacification notices and even increased patrols in the city, not a single perpetrator has been apprehended so far.
And there is also a law in the market, such a murderous method should be the practice of a demon sect in ancient times, the Five Ghost Sect, they acted ruthlessly and extremely cruel. Not only cannibalistic internal organs, but also what will be done to control the five ghosts, so it is very troublesome to deal with, and it can often kill people invisibly. The reason why the city guards didn't find anything in the past week was because the people from the Five Ghost Gates were controlling the ghosts and killing people, so they were so silent.
As soon as this method came out, it spread in order. At first, people didn't believe it much, but later on, the law became more and more widespread, and it was as if someone was pushing behind it, and it swept the whole city.
For a while, people were panicked, after all, no one wanted to die suddenly for no reason, and it was possible to die at the hands of ghosts. It cannot be denied that ghosts and monsters still exist on the Yuanwu Continent. I haven't seen anything that the hell is going on. But there have been a few times when that kind of ghost kills people. Many merchants and people heard that there were ghosts killing people in the city recently, and they were even more afraid that they couldn't sleep. Some people have to keep the lights on when they fall asleep at night, shivering and falling asleep.
There are also some people who are more courageous to choose to leave Dingbei City first to avoid the limelight outside, and then come back to live after the time of this fierce ghost serial destruction has passed.
Dingbei City, which was prosperous for a while, had a great decrease in the flow of people, and the business travel was much less affected by this time. It is estimated that the city's business tax revenue may be a significant part less this month.
Despite the walls and the protection of the city guards, there are always people who feel that danger will befall them, and if these people are not caught, they will not appear in the city for a day.
However, some big families in the city still have powerful people, and they are more confident, and their homes are all well-trained guards, and there are people who patrol and guard all night. There must be at least a few hundred people up and down, and I don't know what those families can compare. Because the targets of these murderers so far are those families and chambers of commerce, the number of masters of these people may not be large, and maybe the people of these big families still have a dominant position in terms of numbers.
Two very different scenes were formed in Dingbei City at this time. A group of people are desperately trying to run outside, and there is a group of people in the city, the old god is there, very calm.
The impact of this incident is not limited to this, this is not only the image of the people's hearts, but also invisibly weakens the credibility of the Beiyan official in the hearts of the people, and even the slightest clue about the murderer in the city cannot be found, it is really a bit five. In his heart, he began to complain about why the people who guarded the city and the city guards didn't take action as soon as possible.
I collect so many taxes from everyone every month, but I can't even handle the murder thing, so what's the point of existence? It's not like it's all about eating, drinking, and having fun. There are always some people who think so maliciously.
If these people knew that not only the city guard, but also the city guards, the intelligence department of the Military Intelligence Department, and the people of the action team were at a loss, they might not continue to complain, but chose to run away quickly.
Now the officials in these three places have very bad faces, and even a little annoyed.
This group of people from the Five Ghost Sect was too unscrupulous, and it was obvious that they carefully cleaned up the scene when they first shot, leaving not many traces, and they were very cautious, for fear of being discovered. But when there were no ironclad clues in Dingbei City, they were even bolder, and they directly carried out two homicides in just two or three days.
What's even more odious is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a provocation by the murderer to the official. Even at the scene of the Chamber of Commerce, a very obvious cut half of the internal organs was left.
This is a naked humiliation, and it is a slap in the face of the Beiyan officials in the open. is a very serious act of provocation. But this is people's ability, they really didn't find any trace of the murderer. It is really difficult to find the estimated hidden murderer in such a large city. Even the members of the Intelligence Department and the Task Force were in the same situation.
Even if they knew that the murderer might be the people of the Five Ghost Sect, these people had not appeared in front of them so far, and there were still a lot of strange groups coming and going in Dingbei City, and they were all staring at the inn restaurant and other places, and they were indeed very few.
A group of people were angry and anxious, but helpless.
There's no way, you can't even touch people's whereabouts, how can you find a target to arrest someone, it's not difficult for a strong man.
The top priority of Dingbei City officials is to discover the whereabouts of these murderers, even if it is a suspected target. However, these people from the Five Ghost Sect seem to be extremely cautious, which may have something to do with their behavior and habits over the years, in order to preserve the martial arts inheritance of the sect, they are not allowed to put a lot of effort into the latent and hidden martial arts.
The station of the action team at this time.
Chen Zheng and a group of other people are sitting here in a meeting to discuss. None of them looked very good. This extermination incident can slap the face of the action team, as a good hand at arresting people, he can't even touch the trajectory of the murderer, and the ability of his group of people to spread it will be doubted.
"Brother Shen, so far we haven't found any clues that can be used?" Chen Zheng asked.
Shen Kuo said helplessly: "There is really no way, we have not found any traces of that group of people so far, maybe it is really like the rumors in the neighborhood, these people from the Five Ghost Sect are really killing people with ghosts, so it is not so easy for us to find out." ”
"Will these five ghost sects still have some evil arts to control ghosts?" Chen Zheng asked curiously. He was very curious about this. In his previous life, he was lonely and unheard, and he really hadn't heard of the ghost's law, and he had never understood it carefully on the blue star, and even those monsters had seen relatively little.
But the Yuanwu Continent is also a high-martial world, could it be that these things really exist?"
Shen Kuo nodded: "It shouldn't be bad if it's a ghost, but there are some differences from those in the script." ”
The ghosts in the story have their own sanity, joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and can act according to their own preferences. Some are helpful, and the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated. Some are ill-intentioned, and their hearts are full of resentment.
But in fact, the ghosts that really exist on the Yuanwu Continent are not like that. For example, the Yin cultivation in the different sects, as well as these five ghost sects, the ghosts they control in their hands are actually an alternative way of martial arts, but the cultivation process may be a little cruel.
The ghosts in their hands are not sane, and all actions are controlled by these warriors. Moreover, the effect of each ghost is different, and they will constantly change with the training of the warrior, and they are not static. And the appearance of a ghost does not represent a life, and it may even be more.
Strictly speaking, the ghosts in these martial arts worlds are a kind of energy body formed by the spiritual power of a kind of primordial god. It seems transparent, but it can affect the outside world. But it's not just a casual person's primordial spirit power that can be trained into a ghost.
Ordinary people who have not experienced cultivation may have the power of the primordial god on their bodies as big as a grain of rice, and if they want to rely on ordinary people to condense ghosts, they have to be gathered by countless lives.
And the martial artist is a better choice. Although not every martial artist can learn the meta-mystical method, they know how to use their own primordial god power to carry out a certain degree of attack and defense. But in the process of every martial artist's cultivation, when the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi nourishes the body, the Yuan Shen is also feeling the rules of Heaven and Earth, and the Yuan Shen is also slowly developing and growing, and when he reaches the Tongmai Realm, he can form a layer of Yuan Shen Barrier to simply defend against the attack of the Yuan Mystic Law.
Therefore, the best material for refining ghosts is a dead warrior. If the time of death is not long, these Yin cultivators and the like can also think of ways to extract the power of the primordial gods from the corpse, and after reaching a certain scale, they can try to condense their own ghosts.
As for the direction of the development of this ghost, there are all kinds of wonderful uses, it is completely up to the means of the refiner. And the control power of the refiner also determines the combat power of the ghost to some extent.
Because these ghosts are all energy bodies, it is very likely that they will be attacked if they don't use their True Qi to defend at the first time.
Of course, high-level martial artists are born with a very keen sense, and will not let those ghosts approach quietly, and some people carry a variety of magic weapons for detection, and they are also first-class good treasures, whether it is an assassin hidden in the shadows or these mysterious ghosts will be discovered.
Although the concealment of these ghosts is very good, it is invincible to use them to kill people in secret, but they are not so strong in the face of the power of the Dao Sect and the Buddha Sect, plus the sects that know how to refine ghosts are now being suppressed by the righteous path, and some of the more famous ones like the Five Ghost Sect have long been secretly afraid to show up, and only dare to make some moves in secret.
Only some mysterious, mysterious, and innumerable Yin cultivators, who are still alone, have the courage to walk openly and brightly outside.
As for this reason, many of these Yin cultivators are in a single lineage, and they will only be released to walk the rivers and lakes when they cultivate at home, so every Yin cultivator is very strong, and all kinds of weird and strange moves can be very tricky, whether it is a righteous path martial artist or a demon martial artist for them, they are all respectful, if they can avoid it, choose to avoid it.
