Chapter 33 of the Present World
Located at the bottom of a lake outside S City, this place is quiet and comfortable, and it is indeed a suitable place to open an independent space.
got on the boat and helped Mu Xue to sit down, and Su Mu propped up the boat pole and rowed out on the lake.
The water waves rippled under the hull of the boat in an instant, and the ripples drifted away, and then gradually replaced by the next wave of water ripples, and the cycle went back and forth until the middle of the lake, where a wooden boat was easy to stop, and on the wooden boat, there were no two figures.
The shadow of the ship is reflected in the water, and the surface of the water is like a smooth mirror, and the sky is blue and the mountains are green, reflecting all this into reality.
In the water, that is, where it became a reality, Su Mu was still rowing the boat, while Mu Xue was sleeping in the stern of the boat, half asleep and half awake, quietly looking at the Demon Binding Division not far away.
On the shore, there is an antique hall, surrounded by mist, like a building floating in a fairyland, the lake connects the sky with a line, as if everything hangs, but it stands tenaciously there, towering and unmoving.
Upward, several gatehouses floating in the air are connected to three palaces, which are patrolling, monitoring, and discernment, and they are also the three largest superior departments of the Demon Binding Division.
In addition, there are small buildings standing on the perimeter, which belong to the rest of the subordinate departments.
After getting off the boat, Su Mu carried the sleeping Mu Xue ashore and stood on the dock by the lake, meeting a man in a gray and black uniform.
He has the same position as Mu Xue, both are the head of the patrol department, named Qianshan, but the two are not in the same formation, so they almost can't meet each other when they go on a mission, and they recall that the last time they met was more than half a month ago.
Mu Xue is considered to be the senior level of the Patrol Division, and many people have to be respectful when they see her, but this time seeing her so seriously injured, Qianshan's face changed instantly.
"Mussi? What's going on? ”
Su Mu handed over Mu Xue to him: "Mu Sishou was injured by Cassia Ming, and Cassia Half-Demon Blood does not seem to have been sealed, and she was attacked by demon power, and now I am afraid that she was injured by mistake because of delirium." ”
"Cassia?" Qianshan picked up Mu Xue and handed it to several subordinates behind her, asking them to take her back to heal her well.
When he turned around, a slight strangeness flashed in his eyes, only to see his sword eyebrows slightly furrowed, his eyes wandering, and he hesitated for a while before he asked, "I know the person who is cassia Ming, is there any misunderstanding in it?" ”
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, saw the abnormality in his eyes, and wanted to ask, but he felt that it was better not to ask, so he hid the fact that Banzai went to find Cassia.
"Anyway, Mu Si Capital is injured by Cassia, I hope to take care of her, and Cassia is still ......" Su Mu deliberately dragged out his voice and waited for Qianshan's answer.
He really understood what Su Mu meant, and said, "Don't worry, I will tell my superiors to arrest Cassia as soon as possible." ”
That being said, there is a big question mark over whether Qianshan will really send someone to find it.
Glancing at the entire Demon Binding Division behind Qianshan, Su Mu found that this space was full of bleakness, so he casually asked, "Why does today's Demon Binding Division look so cold?" ”
Qianshan sighed: "Some time ago, because of the abnormality of the time flow river, a large number of alien creatures poured out, and now the demon binding division is anxious all day long, I think it is also because of the alien creatures, the demons are causing trouble everywhere, we have a serious shortage of manpower, and even the collection order is almost insufficient." ”
"How many of those aliens have been caught?" Su Mu asked.
"I don't know how many, but at least more than 100 have been caught."
There are countless alien creatures in the River of Time, if they enter human life and are discovered by people with ulterior motives, I am afraid that it will happen irreparably, Su Mu is the same as the Demon Binding Division, and his heart is worried.
But his own ability is limited, and he can't help them much, so I have to hope that they can control the fleeing alien creatures as soon as possible.
The two said goodbye, and Su Mu left the Demon Binding Division.
Watching his distant figure disappear into the mist on the surface of the lake, Qianshan's expression dimmed.
He and Cassia have been friends for many years, and since Cassia came to the Demon Binding Division five years ago, the two have chatted very well, and they have helped each other a lot, so they have become close friends.
I remember that he told himself that he was the son of a wolf demon and a human, and he was a cursed half-demon, and when the half-demon was born, he was attacked because of his strong demonic power, so he sealed his demon blood, so that he could not live as immortal as ordinary spirits, and he would end up with unstable demon power.
Qianshan felt sorry for this friend, but one day he learned that Cassia's demon blood seal had been unlocked more than 90 years ago, although he didn't know how it was unlocked, he still decided to help Cassia keep this secret, because he didn't want Cassia to be kicked out of the Demon Binding Division, let alone be criticized.
After all, the title of half-demon has been an ominous thing throughout the ages.
Although most of the monsters didn't talk about him openly, there were also many who talked about it behind their backs, saying that Cassia was a scourge and would ruin the Demon Binding Division sooner or later.
Listening to what Su Mu said today, Mu Xue was injured again, and it seems that Cassia Ming's secret can't be hidden after all.
I was extremely worried, and unconsciously, I had walked back and forth along the corridor leading to the patrol department for nearly ten minutes, and finally stopped in the "bang" of the hidden mountain.
He touched his sore forehead, glanced at the wooden door in front of him that had been opened at some point, and slowly poked out a small head from behind the carved door.
The little guy blinked his big black eyes, and a pair of small hands were tightly pulled on the door frame, staring curiously at the hidden mountain in front of him.
"Meng San? Aren't you from the Inspectorate? What are we doing with the Patrol Division? Qianshan was forced to come back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Meng San, the rabbit demon of the Supervision Division, he asked curiously.
Meng San's small one, looking only ten years old as an ordinary human child, in fact, he is already hundreds of years old, and among the human generations, he can be regarded as a grandfather-level person.
I saw him smile, revealing a pair of white front teeth: "Brother Qianshan, what are you thinking?" Didn't you know that you came to our Supervision Division? ”
As the words fell, Meng San also deliberately raised his mouth in the direction of the gatehouse of the Supervision Division.
Qianshan turned around and saw the giant plaque on the horizontal side, and then he reacted, it turned out that he had unknowingly stepped into the territory of the Supervision Division.
smiled back awkwardly, and was just about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Meng San again.
"Wait, Brother Qianshan." He grabbed the corner of Qianshan's clothes, "I see that you seem to have something to worry about, say it, maybe I can help you?" If I don't have enough money, I can also sponsor it, my parents ......."
"Stop." Qianshan squatted down to cover his mouth, not intending to listen to him again, "I said you little ghost, why do you look like a little adult?" Even if I am short of money, I won't ask children for money, besides, you are a little rabbit who is more than 100 years old and doesn't have much magic power, if you go to fight, you are not afraid of being stewed? ”
Hearing the word "stew", Meng San was so frightened that he took a few steps back, he was born in the Meng family, he was the youngest son of a wealthy businessman, he was pampered all day long, he didn't understand the sinister of this world at all, in addition to being able to make some money, his own meager mana was already good enough to protect himself, and he even thought about helping others, he really regarded himself as an adult monster.
"Well, I'll go back to work." Dropping a sentence, Meng San ran away.
Qianshan couldn't help but smile, but with a hint of bitterness.
Slowly pacing back to the head of the division in the backyard of the patrol division, standing outside the hidden mountain hesitating for a while, he held the doorknob and pushed open the wooden door carved with a hollow pattern.
"Hidden Mountain?" Mu Xue, who was lying on the bed in the room, had woken up, and her face was pale due to her injuries.
Whispering back to her, Buried Mountain walked to the edge of the bed and sat down along the edge.
"Mu Xue, I heard, you were injured by Cassia Ming?" He asked knowingly, but he still had a bit of luck and wanted to learn the truth from Mu Xue's mouth with his own ears.
As soon as she heard Cassia's name, her face changed instantly, and there was a trace of displeasure on her originally sick face, she turned her head and looked away from Qianshan, and then said angrily: "He deceived the Demon Binding Division and treated him as a friend in vain, but he seriously injured me. ”
Qianshan, who listened to this, was silent, he didn't know how to answer, he was sorry for Mu Xue in his heart, and he was worried about Cassia Ming.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Xue added: "Qianshan, you go and report to your superiors, you must catch him back." ”
Qianshan still didn't answer after hearing this, and his frowning brows had already shown the contradiction in his heart.
Mu Xue knew his relationship with Cassia Ming, and didn't say anything about chasing Cassia again, she silently glanced over, grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly, and pouted: "You go out first, if you think he is more important, then you don't have to care about what I say, I won't report to my superiors." ”
Qianshan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't think that Mu Xue would say this, she was injured like this and should seek justice for herself, but she didn't do that.
Two strong conflicts continue to impact in the brain, Qianshan understands, but he can't make a choice, on one side is his best friend, and on the other side is ......
"But I've asked Rinkai Station to help." Seeing that he was still reluctant to leave, Mu Xue interrupted what he was thinking at the moment.
Qianshan was startled, his originally lowered head suddenly raised, and his deep eyes stared at her, he knew that Su Mu had already known about Cassia Ming, but he only knew about it at this time when he asked for help from Linhai Station.
"That'...... Are they already looking for him? His dark eyes weakened, "Actually, I ......"
"Needless to say." Mu Xue snatched the words, turned her back, her cold tone sounded, and she decisively gave an eviction order, "This is my room, I'm going to rest, please go out." ”
It's useless to say more, she was angry, Qianshan had to leave first, but as soon as she stepped out of the door, she was stopped by Mu Xue.
"Wait, hiss-" Mu Xue sat up, as if she was pulling the wound too hard, seeing her holding her arm in pain, the half step that Qianshan took in a hurry finally retracted under his hesitation.
"You say." Just listen to him whisper.
"If you really care about Cassia, then you can go find him yourself, Linhai Station......" Mu Xue paused, "I will inform them and tell them not to look for him." ”
"But ......"
"No, if he only hurt me, then I can hide it, but if he also hurts others, then I really can't help."
Mu Xue is a strong white fox, she is respected and loved by her peers even in the fox clan, but at this moment, she would rather hurt herself in order to take care of the hidden mountain.
Qianshan knew that he couldn't stand her, but he couldn't speak.
He silently made a promise in his heart that he would find him and ask him for the reason before Cassia really made a big mistake.
No matter what the result is, on Mu Xue's side, he will also let Cassia personally appear to apologize.
