Volume I: Chapter 60: The Uninvited Guest
Xiahoudun and Zhao Xiuling returned to Aunt Zhao's house.
As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Xiuling ran to Aunt Zhao, "Grandma, Brother Da Dun is really amazing!" ”
"It's settled?" Aunt Zhao asked.
"It's all solved," Zhao Xiuling was particularly excited, "There are a lot of things that Brother Da Dun said that we don't understand, they are all souls or something, but the analysis is very reasonable." ”
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao's expression suddenly became extremely serious, she slowly walked to Xiahou Xuan's side, and asked quietly, "Do you really understand those ghosts and other things?" ”
"Yes, eldest lady," Xiahoudun saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "Our Spirit Record Bureau was established to solve these things. ”
"Oh, oh......" Aunt Zhao nodded and sat down thoughtfully.
"What's the matter, auntie?" Xiahoudun saw that Aunt Zhao was a little abnormal, and hurriedly asked.
"You can help analyze this." Aunt Zhao looked at Xiahoudun and pleaded.
"You're polite," Xiahoudun nodded, "You can just say it." ”
Aunt Zhao took a long breath and said slowly: "This matter...... It's terrible to say! ”
"What's that kind of madness?" Xiahoudun asked, sat down next to Aunt Zhao, and listened seriously.
"There is a mass grave on the north slope of the village in the north, and it has been a year, and we don't know how long or why it is, but at least my grandfather's generation knows it." Aunt Zhao opened her mouth and told the story, "There has been nothing for many years, and the villagers will go through that mass grave when they do business with each other or go to relatives, and they are all fine." But a few days ago, it was about the same time you came, and I didn't hit. Villagers near the mass grave often hear strange movements in the mass grave at night, and when someone goes to see it at night, they can see some figures walking back and forth there, and when they look closely, there is nothing; Some people passed by during the day, and although they didn't see anything, they were all sick......"
"And then?" Xiahoudun asked.
"Later......" Aunt Zhao looked up at the window, "Later, they all said that there was some curse in that place, and no one dared to go." ”
"What could be the situation?" Xiahoudun turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xiuling and Xu Chu.
Xu Chu was in trouble when he saw Xiahou Xuan, and felt that this matter must not be simple, "Brother Xuan, do you want to go and see?" ”
"Of course I want to go!" Although Xiahoudun didn't know what was wrong with the mass grave, he still decided to investigate the truth of the matter.
"You can't figure out why?" Aunt Zhao asked Xiahou Dundao.
Xiahoudun replied: "If you don't go to see, how can you know?" ”
"No, no," Aunt Zhao waved her hand, "If you know, tell us, if you don't know, don't go and see it, it's too dangerous." ”
"How does this work?" Xiahoudun did not take Zhao Damiang's suggestion, "Since I know that there is such a thing, I have to go and take a look, I hear that the situation is very complicated, if you don't deal with it, there will be endless troubles." ”
"That's it!" Xu Chu patted his chest, "I'll go with Brother Xuan, I promise it's no problem!" ”
When Zhao Xiuling heard this, she began to get anxious, "No, no!" Xun Yu said, don't let you run around. ”
"That's it," Aunt Zhao took Xiahoudun's hand, "I knew that I wouldn't talk to Kai, isn't this asking for trouble......"
Xiahoudun smiled, "Don't bother, aunt!" If you say that this happened at the time of my visit, maybe it has something to do with what I encountered a while ago, and I just happened to check it out, and maybe I could find some clues I need. ”
When Xu Chu heard this, he also followed up and said, "Yes, Brother Xuan, maybe I can wash away your grievances!" ”
"Then ......" Zhao Xiuling didn't know what to say for a while, how could she have thought that there would be such a play, Xun Yuke had taught her how to deal with it before.
"Don't worry!" Xiahoudun patted Aunt Zhao's shoulder, then stood up and walked towards Zhao Xiuling, "Go back and tell me the specific place of the mass grave, and Xu Chu and I will leave late at night." ”
When it was almost noon, Yan Duyuan asked the various departments of the group to deal with the morning's affairs, and everyone was preparing for a lunch break and discussing how to solve the lunch.
Xun Yu walked into the door of the action group with a briefcase in his hand.
"Hello Deputy Director Xun!" Qiao Lili saw Xun Yu come in and stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello!" Xun Yu replied, then stopped and asked, "Team leader Xiahou is in the office, right?" ”
"No," Qiao Lili shook her head, "he went out on errands in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
"Not here...... Xun Yu frowned, "Didn't you say that you would let him wait for me, this person, it's really ...... What the hell! ”
"Uncle!" At this time, Xun Yu walked down from upstairs, although he saw Xun Yu, he still had a straight face, "You're here!" ”
"Am I coming?" Xun Yu pondered Xun Yu's tone carefully, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know I'm coming?" ”
Xun You replied: "I know, the team leader has ordered." ”
"What did you tell you to do?" Xun Yu asked.
Xun You replied: "He said that you want the attendance information of the former team leader Xiahoudun, and I have prepared it for you and put it on the team leader's table." ”
"It's okay if he has a heart." Xun Yu muttered.
"Then I'll go eat first." Xun You said and left.
"Eat......" Before Xun Yu could react, he saw Xun Yu leave the office building quickly, "Don't you say a few words when you see me?" ”
Qiao Lili watched from the sidelines and couldn't help asking, "Xun, has Section Chief Xun always been so cold?" ”
"Don't say that," Xun Yu explained, "that was already his warm side just now. ”
After hearing this, Qiao Lili covered her mouth and laughed.
"Alright, you can go eat too, it's not early." After that, Xun Yu went upstairs.
When Xun Yu walked to the second floor, he suddenly felt a little strange, he glanced at the office inside at the staircase, and saw that the team members were talking and laughing there, but the corridor was unusually quiet, and he couldn't hear anything.
"Why don't you go to dinner?" Xun Yu shouted tentatively.
No one paid attention to him.
"Anyone?" Xun Yu shouted again, "Yu Ban? Is anyone there? ”
It was still the same silence all around, and nothing responded. And the team members who were talking in the office just now began to walk out of the office one after another, went downstairs, and walked past him as if they didn't see Xun Yu.
Xun Yu's eyes widened, looking at what was happening in front of him, "What's wrong with all of you?" ”
After a while, Yu Ban walked out of his office, straightened his collar, and walked towards the stairs.
"Forbidden! Forbidden! Xun Yu shouted.
But Yu Ban didn't react and walked over from Xun Yu's side.
Xun Yu stretched out his hand to grab Yu Ban, but he grabbed it empty, he felt that Yu Ban's body was like air, and he couldn't catch anything. Seeing Yu Ban go downstairs, Xun Yu couldn't help but panic in his heart, he held his breath to feel the atmosphere around him, and suddenly found that there was a trace of demonic qi surrounding him, "Is it a demonic barrier?" ”
Xun Yu walked to the third floor with questions. Sure enough, the higher he went, the stronger the demonic qi became, and when he came to the third floor, he felt a strong demonic aura filling the entire floor, and this demonic aura was emanating from the team leader's office.
This couldn't help but make Xun Yu shiver, he thought to himself, there is a very powerful demonic energy detector in the office building of the action group, why didn't he call the police? Why did this demonic aura make the experienced self completely unaware at first? Why isn't the strength of this barrier evenly dispersed? Why didn't Xun You, who worked on the third floor, feel it? Why is it that everyone but himself is not in the demonic barrier? It's so weird! But now it is impossible to leave, from all indications, this magic barrier is aimed at him, so with these questions, with nervous and complicated feelings, Xun Yu pushed open the door of the team leader's office.
The door opened, and the demonic qi finally reached its peak, and from Xun Yu's experience, this kind of demonic qi was probably the concentration that could only be reached by thousands of powerful pure demons gathered together.
But there was only one person in the office, and this person was Luo Yunxiu. It's just that he no longer wears that complicated outfit, but has changed into a dark brown retro suit like the other demons, without a tie, and the collar of the shirt is naturally open.
Luo Yunxiu held a folding fan in his hand, sat in the position of the team leader, and looked at Xun Yu with a smile, "You are Xun Yu, Deputy Director Xun, right?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Xun Yu's hands began to tremble, he knew very well that the demon in front of him was by no means an idle person, nor was it comparable to the demon gods who had reported before, ordinary people standing in front of him might not feel anything, but the more powerful the spiritual power, the more they could feel the suffocating sense of oppression brought by this person.
"Who are you?" A bead of sweat fell on Xun Yu's head.
Luo Yunxiu got up and arched his hand and said: "In Xia Luoyunxiu, the Imperial Army of the Tiantun Empire is in charge of the tent, and I have come here to visit Team Leader Xiahou, but seeing that Team Leader Xiahou is not there, I will wait here for Your Excellency." ”
"How do you know who I am?" Xun Yu asked involuntarily.
"Ah...... That's ......," Luo Yunxiu replied, "I saw that many of the documents placed on Team Leader Xiahou's desk had the signature of the word 'Xun Yu', so I used the ability to trace the origin of the signature to trace the appearance of the owner of the signature in my mind, and sure enough, I waited here for someone who looked like this." ”
"You're a demon?" Xun Yu's mind was in a mess, he didn't know what the powerful stranger in front of him was saying, and of course he didn't know what to ask, so he could only say whatever came to mind in his head.
"Don't worry, I'm not hostile." Luo Yunxiu smiled bitterly, walked to the edge of the sofa, and pointed to the sofa, "I just want to have a good chat with Your Excellency." ”
Xun Yu saw that the other party did not make any other moves, so he also walked to the edge of the sofa and put the briefcase on the sofa, but his eyes kept staring at Luo Yunxiu, and he did not sit down for a long time.
"You guys here are weird, aren't you?" Luo Yunxiu spoke.
"Strange?" Xun Yu didn't know what Luo Yunxiu wanted to say.
Luo Yunxiu smiled and said, "You all seem to be afraid of our demon clan. ”
Xun Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Shouldn't you be afraid?" ”
Luo Yunxiu gently patted the palm of his hand with a folding fan, "There are many people in your world who care a lot about money and reputation, and day after day, they are persevering in the pursuit of material satisfaction. Selling morality to get money, or selling love and righteousness to gain fame, and trading with my demons, isn't this the equal exchange you desire? Isn't it ridiculous that my demons help you fulfill your wishes, but you are afraid of us and unwilling to get close to us? ”
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, stood there for a while, and then asked, "What do you want to do here?" ”
Luo Yunxiu replied: "I am here to investigate the collusion between some generals of the Heavenly Swallow Empire Expeditionary Force and foreign races to rebel and restore the old imperial court. ”
Xun Yu was very puzzled, and asked, "Excuse me, what does your matter of Heaven Devouring Demon Kingdom have to do with my Spirit Record Bureau?" Could it be that my Spiritual Records Bureau colluded with your traitors to rebel? ”
"That's exactly what I'm asking." Luo Yunxiu said, pointing to the side.
I saw that there was nothing on the side of the sofa, and Liu Wenjing, the secretary of the team leader, suddenly appeared there. She sat on her knees with her hands and feet tied, her mouth gagged.
Luo Yunxiu grabbed Liu Wenjing's neck, made her back rush at Xun Yu, and then pulled her collar down a little. I saw that there was a strange pattern on Liu Wenjing's back, which was a circle surrounded by nine small dark cyan dots, and the pattern was not static on the skin, the nine small dots were slowly rotating clockwise.
Luo Yunxiu pointed to the pattern with a fan and asked Xun Yu, "Excuse me, why do you have a nine-headed insect emblem on the body of your members of the Spirit Record Bureau?" ”
