Chapter 1279: Daoist Family [3]
Tian Lingyu's behavior was too intimate, so I hurriedly pulled my arm back. Not to mention that I'm not used to women other than Lin Siya behaving so intimately towards me, even in this public, if people see our words and deeds like this, it will be very troublesome to speculate about rumors.
Tian Lingyu was a little surprised by my behavior, but she just smiled, and then automatically led the way, but she said that the place where she wanted to take me was a little far, and she had to take the bus.
I shrugged and said it didn't matter, I didn't get motion sickness anyway, even if it was for seven or eight hours.
There were not many people in the car, but looking at the passengers who were seated separately, Tian Lingyu and I were silent for a long time before we talked about last night's events at a low volume.
"Maybe it's because there are too many crimes, and those criminals become unscrupulous, after all, who would think that there is a possibility of soul crimes. And one evening some time ago, the criminal committed the crime again, but unfortunately, I happened to be bumped into when I came home from school, so I arrested the criminal who intended to deprive others of their souls again. At first, I thought the offender was a demon, but when I got home, I found out that the demon was not actually a ghost, but a soul body that had been stripped of its body and soul by using forbidden arts. ”
"It turns out that you have already caught one before, but the purpose and identity of that person...?"
"Ah, you just have to listen to me." Interrupting my question, Tian Lingyu held a small gourd in front of me with blazing eyes: "That person's identity is just an evil warlock, and in order to improve his magic cultivation, he will do such things that violate the mandate of heaven." But it's not a big deal for a warlock to do this, what worries me the most is that there seems to be something going on between the warlocks, and last night I asked about the other warlocks through the soul of the captured warlock, and I showed up at your side in the middle of the night. ”
"Your explanation is clear, but why do you go to great lengths to guide me to follow you when I can finish it in ten minutes near the school?"
"Of course, it's because there are some things that only a capable person like you can do, didn't I tell you before, I've been paying attention to you for a long time!"
After Tian Lingyu's reminder, I remembered what she said last night, and it seems that she already knows a lot about my affairs.
Following Tian Lingyu to a more remote suburban villa, I showed a slightly surprised expression, thinking of the villa of Chen Sishao's family before, I found that the rich second generation around me was sincere, but think about it carefully, isn't the school I am in now a noble school, and it is not surprising that there are rich people around me.
"My family is a very large Taoist family, belonging to the Maoshan faction, and is very good at catching ghosts and catching demons, but the other party is an evil sorcerer, and the soul is separated from the body and a large number of living souls are stored in their bodies, and with my ability, no, with the ability of the Maoshan Taoist, at most it is only to forcibly return the souls of those evil sorcerers, but I can't save those living souls, not to mention that if we can save those living souls, it is difficult to send those living souls back to the original main body intact." While entering the basement of the villa, Tian Lingyu directly explained to me the purpose of bringing me here.
The basement is equipped with incandescent lamps, and one is installed on each wall, so when Tian Lingyu first turned on the light switch in the basement, my eyes were almost flashed by the bright light for a moment, but my eyes quickly adapted to such brightness.
"L.A., this is the essence of the sorcerer whose soul I have captured." Tian Lingyu was originally walking in front of me, but at this moment, she had already let go of her body so that I could see the situation in the basement clearly.
I looked coldly at the three middle-aged men sitting cross-legged, speechless for a while, and Tian Lingyu took out the small gourd at this time, and pulled out the stopper on the small gourd to release the captured souls inside, but she did not tie off the yellow runes on those souls.
"Actually, you don't have to be so cautious, although these sorcerers say that they want to improve their cultivation by sucking other people's souls, but from their bodies, I can't sense how powerful they are at all, and those souls stored by them should have other effects."
"You mean these people have been deceived?" Tian Lingyu's eyes widened in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"Because they were also told to strip the living soul, and the storage and sucking of the living soul will not be counted in the karma to improve the cultivation of the spell."
After listening to Tian Lingyu's words, I suddenly realized, combined with the beginning and end of this case and the relevant information I got from Tian Lingyu, the uneasiness in my heart that had appeared when facing the mysterious woman surged out again.
"If there is still a behind-the-scenes mastermind, then there is a good chance that a certain premeditation you were worried about before is indeed true." Finally, I stated to Tian Lingyu.
Although the souls of those few evil warlocks were suppressed by Tian Lingyu with rune paper, the content of our conversation just now could still be heard by them.
The moment I used the Falling Moon Sword to separate the bodies of the three sorcerers from the souls of the victims, the souls of the four returned to themselves, but by the time their souls returned to their places, their bodies had quickly dried up due to too much mana.
Perhaps the three sorcerers didn't believe Tian Lingyu's speculation at first, but the depletion of their bodies had already made them understand that storing too many living souls actually came at a huge price.
"Why? Why lie to me? The three people who finally understood the truth couldn't help but roar out their inner reluctance before their bodies dried up, but even so, their resentment would cease to exist with their passing.
"The price they have to bear is far greater than death." Leaving a word of emotion, I recited a spell to dispel the other souls one by one.
Tian Lingyu stood aside and looked at me quietly, her eyes full of admiration.
The resolution of an incident did not make me and Tian Lingyu relax their vigilance, after all, there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind the scenes of this soul stripping case, and Tian Lingyu's halfway kill had obviously hindered the plan of the real murderer behind the scenes.
It was getting late, Tian Lingyu wanted to stay with me for one night, but I flatly refused, after all, if it weren't for this incident, she and I would just be strangers.
Leaving Tian Lingyu's villa, I walked a while before summoning the Falling Moon Sword, I believe that although Tian Lingyu had paid attention to me before, she should not have known that I could use the sword.
It only took me twenty minutes for Edgeworth to get home, and after washing, I lay in bed and remembered the events of the day, thinking that there might be another fierce battle in the future, and I couldn't tell how I felt.
