Chapter 89. Shadow Trail
In the capital at night, standing on the high-rise building and looking at it, countless starry lights float and sink in a dark ocean, connecting into one, and standing inside, all kinds of lights are intertwined, almost rendering the night into day.
"This is it, how much is Master?" Ning Xu opened his wallet and took out a banknote from inside. With a creak, the wheels rubbed against the ground, allowing the car to slowly stop on the side of the road. "Well, twenty dollars and five cents, it's good to count you as twenty, and it's not easy for children to make money."
Ning Xu nodded, took out another bill with a face value of twenty and handed it to the driver, grinned in his hand, raised his head and twisted the light on the top of the car, looked at the banknote in his hand at the light, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go, this should be it." Ning Xu looked out the window at a small residential building that was still a little shabby, which seemed to be left over from before the catastrophe and was being used, rather than a new house that was rebuilt later.
There are old air conditioners hanging on the perimeter of the walls, and the sound of many air conditioners roaring together is a bit annoying, but it's a good place to climb and dive.
Ning Xu pushed open the door and trotted to the other side of the car, pulling open the door close to the dark night so that she could get out of the car smoothly.
"The demonic energy is very heavy, it doesn't look like there was a demon invasion by chance, but it looks like there is a source of demonic energy staying here for a long time, she is really lying!" Looking at the circle of demonic qi that was difficult for ordinary people to find around the building, Ning Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
"Well, there's a dessert shop there, we can wait there for a while, there are quite a lot of people now, and we might find out." Styx looked around, pointed to a shop next to him and said to Ning Xu.
"Okay." Ning Xu happily agreed.
The two slowly walked into the dessert shop, behind the counter, two or three employees in work clothes were sitting inside chatting, and when they saw the two walking in, they hurriedly sat up to say hello. "What do you two want to drink?"
Ning Xu looked up at the menu, hesitated for a while, and then spoke. "Bring me a big glass of lemonade, add ice, and give this person a large glass of Oreo bubble tea with sugar, warm."
"Seunghye 21, thank you."
"Then, bring me eight tarts." Ning Xu thought for a moment and continued to speak. "Egg tarts are six yuan, right, it's okay, a total of sixty-nine, can you pay by phone?"
"Absolutely." The clerk pointed to the two QR codes posted on the counter and motioned for Ning Xu to use this.
Ning Xu raised his mobile phone and scanned the QR code, and after paying the store sixty-nine yuan, he showed the payment record to the clerk, and walked to a round table in the store with Styx and sat down.
"How's it going, do you feel something similar to the source of demonic energy appear?" Ning Xu turned his head and asked towards the dark night on the side.
The girl closed her eyes and relied on the combined effect of soul power and spiritual power to perceive everything around her, which may not be able to scan everything around her like a simple spiritual exploration, but she can keenly perceive the existence of demonic energy This method mainly relies on the rejection of demonic energy by spiritual power.
Soon, the girl opened her eyes, and there was a slight regret in her eyes: "The demonic qi here is indeed very strong, but the distribution of demonic qi is too chaotic, if there is a source of demonic qi, the demonic qi will gather near the source of demonic qi, showing a phenomenon that the concentration at the core is relatively large, and the more it spreads outward, the smaller the concentration." ”
"And if the source has just left, then the demonic energy will gather in the direction it left, and now it is scattered in this area, that is to say, it should have been a while since the source of demonic energy left this place, and this time should be more than two days."
"Oh, it's been so long, which means that this happened very early, but the so-called mother may have come after a long time after she found out about it, tsk, sure enough, it wasn't easy."
"Two, the milk tea is ready, and this is your egg tart."
Seeing the clerk coming, the two closed their mouths at the same time and stopped talking. The clerk held the tray in one hand while placing the contents of the tray on the table in front of the two of them.
"Okay, thanks."
Styx nodded at the clerk, and when he saw the clerk turn away, he immediately waved out a clear light, enveloping the two of them in it, the light was very faint, and it was almost invisible under the shroud of the fluorescent lamp.
"Okay, that's it, I really didn't expect my defensive spirit skill to have the effect of sound insulation." The girl rolled her eyes, seemingly speechless.
"Okay, let's sort out the thoughts, assuming that the demonized creature is the woman's son, then it should be after she found out that her child was demonized, she was afraid that she would be involved, and she was afraid that the child would be hunted, so she delayed it for more than a day before reporting the case, depending on the degree of panic she had, maybe she gave the child something, or used something to cause the demonization, but I always feel that something doesn't make sense."
"If it's a room, then it's possible that we're afraid that we'll find out that her child is a demon, but what if it's not a room? Hey, the problem seems to be a little more complicated. ”
Ning Xu frowned, and tapped his fingers on his temples one by one, this kind of thinking made him vaguely irritable.
"Could it be that there are other clues hidden in the room, but the woman doesn't want us to know?" Styx thought for a moment and spoke.
"Possibly! Sure enough, we still have to go to the field to see After all, just with this clue at the moment, it is really a little difficult to deduce the truth of the matter, and when there are fewer people on the street, we will climb into that room to see what she is hiding from us. ”
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ning Xu's mind, as if he had thought of something, and said very excitedly
"Climb up? Follow those air conditioner units? It's not impossible, but it's just that it's troublesome to fight like this. Styx frowned slightly, with the strong physical fitness of the professional, what to climb was nothing, but the battle was troublesome.
"That's a problem, but it's not a big problem, emmmm makes me think about it, if that's the case, we need long-range weapons, otherwise it might be more troublesome to fight with cold weapons, emmmmm, it's not a big problem, I'll make a call."
As he spoke, Ning Xu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and after saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.
"Okay, my brother should be looking for someone to bring us something soon, ah, I don't know exactly what it is, but it should work."
With that, he picked up the lemonade on the table and took a sip, the lemonade mixed with ice cubes carried a burst of coolness, the cool feeling slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and then it was like the whole body was permeated, in the rather hot summer, this rare comfort is simply not too refreshing.
"Well, it tastes pretty good, and sure enough, drinking a refreshing glass of lemonade in summer is really comfortable." Ning Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and a clear flow of purity welled up in his mind, which was originally disturbed by irritability.
"Indeed, it seems that the business of this store should be good, so can we inquire about the news here?" Styx asked while drinking the milk tea in his hand.
Ning Xu frowned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up. "There are many people, I am afraid that someone will be mixed in and report to the demon seed, and it will be easy to be exposed when the time comes, if we don't release our power now, it will be difficult to distinguish whether we are ordinary people or cultivators, but if we ask rashly, there is a risk of revealing our identity."
"That's just as well." The dark night was also a whim, and he didn't dwell too much on this matter, but Ning Xu remembered this matter in his heart, and he didn't plan to ask directly.
——————————
"I've arrived, where are you?"
Ding Ding sounded twice, Ning Xu picked up his mobile phone, looked at the message sent by his sister, and his fingers jumped quickly.
"There's a dessert shop on the side of the road, you can see us when you walk in, really, you'll find something to do for Lao Tzu."
Ning Lou didn't reply, Ning Xu pursed his lips, and didn't say anything, changing the topic, or avoiding the problem, which was often used by his sister to perfunctory him.
"Someone's coming?" Looking at Ning Xu's expression, the dark night knew what was happening.
"Yes, I don't have time to handle the case, I have time to personally send me weapons, and she can teleport to arrest people back with this time, so I'm too lazy to do things." Ning Xu pursed his lips.
"Nonsense, I'm obviously trying to hone your will, am I a lazy person? If I just get things done, where will you have the opportunity to hone it. ”
As he spoke, the man in the black and red suit pulled out his chair very casually and sat down on the edge of the round table.
"Yes, yes, you are old and wise, you are always reasonable." Ning Xu didn't stir up with her, he directly raised his hand to surrender, he knew that it might be better not to make noise, if he refuted it, Mo Ruyan could annoy him to death.
"Hmm, this defensive spiritual skill is not bad, mixed steel shouldn't be able to hear your conversation through this thing, emmmm, this is your thing, I didn't prepare a gun for you, I made the capital nervous before, if a shootout suddenly breaks out again, it will easily lead to chaos, and it will give you some quiet, powerful things."
"The wheel-type chain spirit spell crossbow is filled with twenty arrows, pitiful, and each arrow is engraved with a charm, which is extremely lethal to abyssal creatures, even under ordinary circumstances, it also has the lethality of the black iron level."
While speaking, Ning Lou took out two cardboard boxes, and after opening the cartons, he revealed two weapons that looked similar to pistols, but the tip of the crossbow arrow that emerged from the muzzle of the gun revealed its true identity.
Seeing these two weapons, Ning Xu's hair exploded all over his body, and he subconsciously wanted to cover it up, because if this weapon was exposed to ordinary people, it would undoubtedly cause turmoil.
"Afraid of what?" Ning Lou glanced at it. "With me here, can they still see it? I'm telling you that it's impossible, you don't take me as a marquis in your eyes. ”
"Okay, okay, your old magic is great, you are invincible, is it time to leave when your old things are delivered? You're an old man! While! Busy! Yes! When the last few words were spoken, Ning Xu even gritted his teeth a little.
"That's, I really have a lot of things, so I won't bother you two, I'll go first."
Ning Lou didn't seem to hear the meaning of Ning Xu's words at all, and the red light on his body flashed, turning into a flash of flame and disappearing on the seat.
Ning Xu rolled his eyes, picked up the ** on the table and took it into his arms, and the dark night reached out and wiped it on it, and the ** had already been included in the space appliance.
"Wait a while and we'll be able to act, there are still a lot of people on the street, let's go and arrange it first, I always feel that things are not simple, to be precise, my sister has never been simple when she cheated me."
Ning Xu stood up with an angry face, absorbed the lemonade in the cup in one go, and threw it into the trash can next to the table.
"Ahh Ning Xu sneezed, he rubbed his nose, and looked in the direction of Ruyan Pavilion with some unhappiness.
"You two, really, hey, but are you sure it really works?" Styx looked at the formation under his feet with some suspicion.
To be precise, this thing is so rudimentary that, in a way, it's not a formation at all.
"Trust me, no problem, this thing will activate when the demonic circle passes by, and release an electric current to the surroundings, directly corona the source of demonic energy, so that we can catch him." Ning Xu said confidently.
"Really, I always feel like this thing isn't very reliable." Looking at the few scratches on the ground that were randomly scratched, as well as a few spirit stones buried deep in the ground, Styx always felt a little unreliable.
"This is a time-delay device, the rejection of the demonic qi to the aura will allow the spirit stone to inject energy into the formation, and the formation will be activated, releasing a slight electric current to the surroundings, which will not be fatal, but enough to produce paralysis, so that it will not produce large-scale accidental injury, but it can effectively stop the monster."
Ning Xu seemed to see the doubts of the dark night and began to explain.
"Okay, trust you once, emmmm, look at this momentum, it is estimated that it will be a while before we can act, it is really a mistake to come out so early."
Styx looked at his watch and complained.
"It's okay, we can set up traps downstairs in his house, as long as a demonic creature is close, we can stun it, if there is no demonization People who have only been in contact with demonizers have not enough demonic energy to push the aura into the formation.
While speaking, Ning Xu held a dagger in his hand and carved a series of formation patterns on the ground, and in the center of the formation patterns, the two spirit stones continued to flicker with warm white light.
It looks simple, but to accurately bury the spirit stone, and not let the formation start directly, it takes a while to identify, when the two of them finished the work on hand, the night has completely shrouded here, there are few pedestrians on the street, only the street lamps on the side of the road shed bursts of light, and even the cars on the road have become very rare.
Most of the lights on the building were extinguished, and the whole building seemed to be filled with darkness, and the two of them raised their heads and looked at the formation traps that were almost completely invisible around them, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Rest, rest, immediately blow up the street lights, otherwise it is easy to be seen when climbing this building, although it is a serious look at things to investigate, but it is still not very good to be seen, and I, I always feel that there is something wrong with the lights doing this."
Ning Xu muttered, not too dirty, and sat directly on the ground, and a layer of pale silver black dragon qi floated on the ground, separating the dust.
"It's the first time I've seen someone like you with such strength, ah!" Styx glanced at Ning Xu and swung out a frost shield.
The physical strength recovered little by little, and in about ten minutes, the two woke up from fatigue, Ning Xu looked up at the street lamp on the side, leaned over and picked up a few stones, and checked them, and then a few stones flew out, extinguishing all the street lights on the side, and for a while, this positive area almost fell into darkness.
"Which child is so lacking in morality, smashing the street lamp with a stone, how did the family teach it!"
The two were just about to start climbing, when a Hedong lion's roar came from the side, and a woman pushed the car door, looked at the broken street lamp bulb, and was standing there scolding.
"Tsk." Ning Xu was a little helpless, but he couldn't say anything, after all, he did not do the right thing about smashing the street lamp, but there was no way, the work needs were all for work.
"Poof." Looking at Ning Xu's helpless expression, Styx couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Okay, okay, get ready to go upstairs, who knows what you'll meet later."
