Chapter 32: Demon Hunting!
"We have isolated the districts and checked them one district at a time. We will gather the villagers and screen them. This is not a lot of work, because there are only seven or eight thousand people in the Sanglin community, and each sub-district has about a thousand. ”
Yu Heng looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "However, during the investigation, I hope you can guard it by the side." If the demon is found out and goes berserk, only you can stop him. ”
"Good. Jiang Cheng nodded slightly.
......
In Sanglin Village, the radio of the Northwest Division sounded, and all the villagers of the Northwest District were summoned to gather at the District Committee Square in the North District.
After hearing the broadcast, the villagers, who had been quarantined, rushed to the square one after another under the persuasion of the joint defense team members from house to house.
Yu Heng led more than a dozen joint defense team members to check their ID cards one by one on the square and screen for suspicious people.
Jiang Cheng stood under a big tree not far away, quietly watching this scene.
In his perception, he could sense the direction of the flow of Lingzi's breath. If there was an unusually ferocious spirit aura in it, that is, the "demonic qi", Jiang Cheng would definitely be able to react.
The so-called demonic qi is actually the aura of the violent.
According to the information of the Hunting Federation, the demons are divided into four levels according to their strength.
The lowest level is the "worm" level demon, which is equivalent to the sealing warrior of the first or second pillar realm. Insect-level demons generally have no latent ability, it is difficult to control their ferocity, and their eyes are bound to be blood-red.
The higher level is the "wolf" level demon, and the lowest is the three-pillar realm. The demons above are called "Tiger" and "Dragon" respectively.
With Jiang Cheng's current identity as a C-level demon hunter, the tasks assigned to him correspond to basically insect-level demons. This type of demon is characterized by a large number and frequent appearances, but the strength is weak, and they don't know how to hide their true nature, and their demonic aura is very strong.
It didn't take long for the villagers in the northwest district to be investigated.
No trace of the Majin was found.
It seems that the demons are hiding in other sub-districts of the Sanglin Village Community, but the northwest area is used as the "killing site".
Jiang Cheng and a group of joint defense team members entered the West District in turn for the second round of checks.
In this way, a day passed, and two districts were checked, but nothing was found.
"It's getting dark, rest for the night, and check the other areas tomorrow." Yu Heng said, "Classmate Jiang should be quite tired, go back to the village compound, the village committee has prepared a dinner party for you, you can rest well." ”
Yu Heng has always felt that it is not easy to call Jiangcheng. As a sealing warrior, Jiang Cheng's status is obviously very special, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an "adult", but Jiang Cheng is very young, and he is about the same as Yu Heng's children and nephews, so he can only call him an awkward "Jiang classmate".
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "No need, just find a villager to deal with it...... The possibility of the Majin appearing at night will be greatly increased, so I want to patrol it. ”
"Okay, my broken jeep will be used for classmate Jiang. Yu Heng said.
"Nope. ”
Jiang Cheng refused, "I think that if the demons commit murder, they will also avoid your joint defense team...... Exactly, the route of the patrol will be avoided. You give me your nearest patrol route, and I'll choose the opposite area to patrol. ”
"Well, that makes sense. Yu Heng felt that the young man in front of him was not only strong, but also very intelligent, and his hope of successfully hunting demons had increased a few points.
......
Night.
Jiang Cheng's figure rose and fell on the low roofs, moving silently and covertly.
He didn't move aimlessly, but along a preset route, along the way, perceiving the special changes in the aura of the spirit son, that is, the traces of the demonic qi.
It's like a small radar car, patrolling around the mulberry forest village.
As long as Jiang Cheng's route intersects with the latest traces of the demons, Jiang Cheng will not miss it.
"Here...... There's an anomaly!"
Jiang Cheng stood on a roof, his finger lightly pointing at the wind in front of him.
He closed his eyes slightly, and a faint cyan demonic aura vortex seemed to appear in front of him, indicating that a demon had just passed here!
If you look at the direction......
It is the northwest area of Sanglin Village!
The demons who have already committed two murders in this area have not yet relented!
......
A low house.
A young girl reading a book in the dim candlelight.
"Xiaoqi, go to bed early, don't stay up too late. Outside the curtain, a hoarse voice was heard.
"Got it, Dad. You go to bed early, and you have to go to work tomorrow. The girl replied.
"I'm fine, I'll go to the field while the moon is good. ”
"Don't go...... Recently, the Troublemakers ...... "The girl Xiaoqi is a little worried.
"Hey, it's been a week, and the defense team hasn't found anything. If you can't catch the demon, you can't live a long time, right? I'll go with your third uncle and grandfather next door, it's okay. I took advantage of the night to do the work, and I went to work in the factory during the day. ”
"Hmmm......"
The girl closed the book, and on the cover it was written [Five-year college entrance examination three-year simulation, Lingzi General Knowledge]. She gently blew out the candle and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Bang dang!
Woohoo!
There was an earthquake, and after the dog in the yard barked frantically twice, the sound stopped abruptly.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Xiaoqi shouted, but no one outside answered.
Xiao Qi suddenly thought of a possibility, and trembled all over. She wanted to go over and lift the curtain to see what was going on in the courtyard, but she couldn't move, and she was shaking with her legs.
Inch by inch, moved to the side of the door curtain, Xiao Qi opened the gap in the door curtain and secretly looked out.
In the courtyard, there stood a slender stranger figure, stretched in the moonlight.
Xiao Qi couldn't see the face of the figure clearly, and could only see a pair of blood-red eyes.
Majin!
Xiao Qi's heart was clutched, and she was almost out of breath.
Where's Daddy?
Xiao Qi looked carefully, only to see his father kneeling in front of the slender demon, repeating over and over again, mechanically:
"Please, don't hurt my daughter, please, don't hurt my daughter, please......"
Xiao Qi couldn't hold back the emotions in her heart anymore, and the worry of her loved ones overshadowed the fear of the demons, and she rushed out.
"Dad—"
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing here!" The man who was kneeling on the ground looked back and saw Xiao Qi, and his heart was broken.
In front of the man, the slender figure of the demon had already raised the butcher knife in his hand.
It was an extremely narrow knife with a slight arc, and the blade shone with a cold glow in the moonlight.
"Fear, despair, pain...... And the bond with relatives, what a delicious emotion!" The Devil's deep voice echoed, "I, I need more, more ......"
Swish!
The cold light flickered.
"Daddy!" Xiao Qi's eyes cracked.
While!
Buzzing......
A crisp voice sounded, and the expected tragic scene of blurred flesh and blood and flying heads did not appear.
Instead, the narrow scimitar in the demon's hand was knocked out and whizzed into the wall.
The despair on Xiao Qi's face dissipated with tears, and his surprised eyes fell on the new figure in the field.
The body is not too tall, but because of its thin body, it looks very slender.
Dressed in simple leather armor, he wears a sheathed sword around his waist, and stands a few meters away from the demons.
"Tsk, seal warrior ......," the Majin snorted in a somewhat complicated tone.
"No, I'm ...... The Witcher!"
The clear young man's voice sounded, it was Jiang Cheng.
Somehow, after hearing this voice, Xiao Qi felt a lot more relieved, and most of the original fear of facing the demon dissipated, as if this young man had a strange temperament, which made people instinctively feel reliable.
Jiang Cheng secretly felt lucky in his heart, the patrol area he chose was still the Northwest District! It turned out that his judgment was correct, the demon probably thought that the Northwest District and the West Region had already been investigated, and no one would pay attention to it, so he still chose to commit crimes in the Northwest District.
Because of the correct choice of area, Jiang Cheng saved time, and was able to rush here as soon as possible after discovering the traces of demonic qi, preventing another tragedy from happening.
The slender demon also heard from Jiang Cheng's voice that he was not very old, and said with a sneer: "The boy who hasn't grown his hair is all right, today I want to see if I hunt you or you hunt me!"
The slender demon raised his hand, and the narrow scimitar hanging on the wall flew back into his hand. He lowered his body and threw himself towards Jiang Cheng, slashing horizontally, drawing a half-moon-shaped blood-colored arc!
Demons and Seal Warriors use spiritual power. The difference is that the spiritual power of the demons is more ferocious and tends to destroy.
Jiang Cheng flicked his fingers, and the tungsten steel long sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was like a swallow dotting water, and it was mentioned on the blade of the slender demon.
The blood-colored arc suddenly flew into the air, and the blow landed in the air.
With just a face, Jiang Cheng judged that this demon's strength was very weak, and his skill level was more than one grade worse than his own.
It would be nice if the digital vision could see the name bar and color of the demons, so that there would be no need to test the strength of the demons, and the battle strategy could be selected more efficiently.
Unfortunately, at present, the digital vision can only see the name bar and color of the demon.
After testing the strength of this demon, Jiang Cheng immediately attacked, and the long sword shook out dozens of sword flowers.
The real and the virtual are unpredictable!
The demon quickly stepped back, roaring, and the narrow scimitar slashed furiously from top to bottom. This is a lose-lose trick to regain the initiative.
Jiang Cheng does not dodge or dodge.
"Haha, stupid! you can prick me a few holes at most, and I can split you in half!"
The demons were in ecstasy.
With the powerful vitality of the demons, as long as the head is not cut off, multiple injuries can be quickly recovered. And although the sealing warrior also has a vitality that surpasses ordinary people, it is still incomparable to the demons.
Swish!
The narrow scimitar slashed through, slashing only a phantom.
"It's over. ”
The demon was stunned, and an indifferent whisper came from behind his ears.
Whew!
The slender demon was stopped and cut in two!
Blood splattered.
The two halves of the slender demon fell to the ground one after the other. He has strong vitality and is not dead for a while, and he is trying to put the parts below his waist together......
Jiang Cheng sighed softly, and the long sword was returned to its sheath.
"Small, be careful, he's not dead......" Xiaoqi, a girl on the side, hurriedly reminded.
"No, he's dead. Jiang Cheng turned his head and showed a gentle smile.
With Jiang Cheng's words, on the neck of the slender demon, a line of blood overflowed.
Then the head slides down and rolls down the dust!
A white true spirit flew out of its head, and dissipated into the air with a strange scream. It was a demon spirit that had invaded the human body, and he was currently in a state of extreme weakness, having abandoned this body and fled from the material realm.
Based on Jiang Cheng's current understanding, the sealing warriors could not destroy the true spirit of the demon spirit, and could only watch the true spirit of the demon spirit flee back to the spirit realm.
However, generally speaking, after a demon spirit only has a true spirit and escapes back to the spirit realm, it will take a long time before it has the ability to invade again, and the stronger the strength, the longer this cycle will be.
Jiang Cheng ignored the true spirit of the demon spirit, he squatted down and picked up the head of the demon man.
The demon's eyes were overflowing with tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
His lips opened and closed, and he spoke silently.
"It's all right...... You're free. Jiang Cheng said in a low voice, closing his eyes slightly.
......
The movement in this courtyard has already alarmed the neighbors.
At first, everyone didn't dare to come, but then they heard that the demon had been killed by a master sent by Jinghai City, so they were relieved and rushed over to greet them.
The head of this family, that is, Xiaoqi's father, held Jiang Cheng's hand and thanked him in tears.
Xiao Qi hid behind his father, lowered his head, and only dared to use the corner of his eye to look at the young man in front of him by the light of the freshly lit candle.
I always feel that this teenager has a special charm, and he looks like a character in a star poster. The difference is that the stars in the posters are carefully retouched and even photoshopped, but the teenager in front of him has a natural appearance......
In a word, good-looking.
Jiang Cheng is not used to being watched. Fortunately, the joint defense team rushed over to help clean up the demon's body, and by the way, helped Jiang Cheng separate the crowd.
"How do you feel, are you tired?" Yu Heng smiled, "Classmate Jiang, thank you so much." You helped us solve our big problem, and I thank you on behalf of Sanglin Village. ”
"Wait. ”
Jiang Cheng looked at the dead demon's body, frowned, and closed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yu Heng was puzzled.
"When I was looking at the scene of a murder during the day, I felt that something was wrong...... Now that I've killed the Majin, the feeling is even clearer. ”
Jiang Cheng's closed eyes quickly opened, "No, this demon should be the murderer of the cotton gin, but the aura of the spirit son is not the same as the murderer of Zhao Baozhu's family! That is to say, there are two demons, and there is also a ...... Still hidden in the village of Sanglin!"
Before Jiang Cheng's voice fell, the siren suddenly sounded in the southeast direction, and at the same time, gunshots rang out!
"Not good. Yu Heng's face changed wildly, "This is the warning signal that our joint defense team has agreed, three long and two short...... It must be a demon, and the joint defense team I arranged in the southeast region has met that demon!"
Before Yu Heng finished speaking, Jiang Cheng had already jumped onto the roof. Thunder flashed around him, and his speed suddenly accelerated, rushing in the direction where the siren came from!
