Chapter 42: The Stolen Head
"What are you doing stealing that dead thing? As a collectible? Huai Wei was attracted by Si Yi's words and unconsciously asked questions.
"Xingtian was named the 'God of War' by the world at that time, and although his head was a dead thing, it also contained infinite power." When Si Yi heard Huai Wei answer, a flame of hope immediately ignited in his eyes, and he immediately explained the important value of the lost thing, hoping to attract attention.
"How do you know that the head is unusual and studied?" Huai Wei hit the nail on the head and grasped the key point in Si Yi's words, but then reacted again, "Not good! Fooled! I shouldn't have asked, I said I didn't care, and I was caught in a trap again. ”
"Divine Wisdom." Si Yi first complimented Huai Wei before answering her question, "It's not a secret, I did check it." ”
Although Huai Wei realized that she had fallen into Si Yi's radical method, she had to say that Xingtian's head did attract her attention, and she could only admit it if she fell into the trap given to her by Si Yi, but she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, and her mouth was naturally not so polite, and she questioned Si Yi's words strangely: "Check? Don't be so modest, if the conditions don't allow it, the dissection is light. In my opinion, the thief may have stolen the head of Xingtian for the same purpose as your 'checking'. ”
"God laughed, how could Si Yi know the purpose of the thief." Si Yi is like a ball of cotton, cotton without a temper.
"You're boring, like a lump of soft mud." Huai Wei saw that she couldn't fight, and she didn't waste time at the door with Si Yi, so she invited someone into the house, and finally gave her a seat, and then began to understand the theft, "Surveillance checked?" Not documented? ”
"The first time I learned of the theft, the staff looked through the relevant surveillance data, and the records showed that there was a blank space, all snowflake spots, and the rest of the time period was intact, only about five minutes when there was an abnormality, just when the head of Lord Xingtian disappeared. It was clear that those five minutes of surveillance were influenced by some force, and certainly not artificial. Si Yi replied truthfully.
"Don't be so sure, a lot of weird things are man-made in the end, you are so sure now, don't be slapped in the face when the time comes. Have all the staff of the Bureau been screened? It is not uncommon for guards to steal from themselves. Wai raised reasonable suspicions.
"Please God, don't insult the Control Bureau, Si Yi dares to vouch for his life, the theft has absolutely nothing to do with the staff. All members are strictly screened and screened before entering the job, and people with bad moral character are never allowed to enter the job, and the matter of self-theft by guards will never happen in the control bureau! Si Yi's mood finally fluctuated, as if he was suspected.
"It's just assumptions, why are you so excited?" Huai Wei was frightened by Si Yi's sudden assurance, and gave him a strange look, but did not stop because of this, and still continued the topic just now, "There is no evidence, what about the evidence?" There was no evidence of self-theft. ”
"The caretaker of the day was found unconscious and woke up with no memory of that day for no apparent reason." Si Yi presented the evidence that Huai Wei wanted, and added, "Isn't it weird to be in a coma and then lose your memory?" Can it be done artificially? ”
"Si Lao, you have been in the Bureau of Control for a long time, and you don't often walk around the world, right?" Huai Wei's tone could not be called kind, and she refuted Si Yi's words with a slight mockery, "It's hard to make people lose their memory? Wouldn't hypnosis be good. As for coma, it's simpler, ether will do. ”
Hearing that Huaiwei had been working with him, Si Yi was a little angry: "God, Xiao Lao'er sincerely asks you for help." ”
"I'm also sincerely helping you solve the problem, don't you have to take a step by step to investigate, first put forward a hypothesis, and then verify it, I'm not doing it right?" Huai Wei also has a temper, and replied directly, "If you are not satisfied, go out and turn left, so you can not send it away." ”
Si Yi looked at Huai Wei's extremely arrogant attitude, and really wanted to leave, he couldn't understand why this legendary god was so difficult to communicate, aren't the gods in human mythology all compassionate and kind? However, he had to press the anger surging in his heart, and after taking a few deep breaths, he calmly pleaded guilty: "Little Lao'er has just lost his attitude, please continue." ”
"Good." Huai Wei was satisfied with Si Yi's softness, and the boredom of being disturbed was much more beautiful, and then asked generously, "In addition to being comatose and amnesia, was there anything abnormal about the guards that day?" Or do you find something different from the past? ”
"There is one, but it just sounds ridiculous, and we all think it's his hallucination." Si Yi said a situation, not sure whether the information provided by the guards was accurate, but he still stubbornly said, "He said that he heard a pig barking before he lost consciousness. ”
"Pig barking? The kind of 'pig' that you eat? After listening to Si Yi's words, Huai Wei asked again, and then fell into deep thought.
"Yes. The caretaker said that he had heard not only one, but that there seemed to be two, one after the other, with a short time apart, and that he could not hear the cry of the same pig. Si Yi looked at Huai Wei's expression and said his conjecture, "Little Lao'er feels that the information provided by the caretaker is of little use, it is purely his hallucination. How is it possible for a person to hear a pig bark a few times and even distinguish different pig sounds when he is confused. The appearance of pigs is a ridiculous thing in itself. ”
"Ridiculous? No, the pig meow is the most critical clue. A leaf blind can not see Mount Tai, so people's self-righteousness is sometimes very terrible. Huai Wei looked at Si Yi with a sympathetic expression, then asked him to leave, and gave a promise, "Tell you the result tomorrow." ”
"Little old man is waiting for the good news of God." With all the words said and done, Si Yi had no reason to continue to stay, so he could only leave.
"My God, but you have a clue?" Banyou can always see through Huai Wei's thoughts at the first time, "You wish to serve." ”
"There's a demon market in the demon world, which specializes in selling those weird things, let's go shopping." Huai Wei suddenly became interested.
"Okay." Banyou took out the demon realm pass, and through the map of the three mountains and five mountains, one demon and one god were already in the demon realm in an instant.
Returning to the familiar place, Banyou became the leader, and saluted Huaiwei respectfully: "The demon city is in the southwest, my god, please come here." ”
The demon city is on a small island in the southwest of the demon world, and there is no other way to get to the island. In the past, it was not the time when the semi-underworld was the lord of the realm, the demon world has always admired the strong as the respect, and it was not uncommon to steal and abduct, and the ferry to the demon city was dominated by an underworld force, if they couldn't give them the price they wanted, they didn't want to go to the island. After getting on the boat, you will be forced to pay hardship fees, and if you resist and refuse, you will be thrown directly into the demon sea and devoured by the demon beasts raised inside, and the situation is extremely miserable.
Fortunately, after the semi-dark came to power, with the assistance of the semi-ghost, he vigorously rectified the demon world and eliminated several influential underworld forces in the demon world, including the black shark who dominated the demon city ferry, died under the half-dark blade, split in half, and could no longer act recklessly. Now the road to the demon market can be said to be unimpeded, but to enter it, you need to show an item, not money, not gold and silver jewelry, but a thing, no matter what specific things, as long as it is bizarre, unprocessed, natural, the rarer the better, the demon guarding the demon city is satisfied, he will let it go, he doesn't want that thing, he just takes a look, long insight.
Huai Wei followed Banyou on a boat, and when she arrived at the demon market, she saw a huge turtle shell upside down on the island, and the demon city was located in the turtle shell. The turtle shell had only one entrance, and an extremely long line lined up from the entrance to the island's ferry, and the demon market was guarded by a white-faced, beardless, hairless, eyebrow-free, strange-looking, hunched old man. There was an ordinary long table in front of the old man, he sat on the back chair by himself, and waited for the demon in front of him to put the things he wanted to show on the table, he took a look, and accepted the prohibition of the entrance when he was satisfied, and let the demon in, and he didn't speak if he was not satisfied, and closing his eyes was equivalent to refusal.
"Want to stand in line? Or not? Huai Wei was the most impatient, and when she saw the long queue, she immediately wanted to retreat.
"Not necessarily." Ban Yu bowed down and asked Huai Wei to go straight forward, stopped at the old man's long table, and greeted, "Elder Yuan." ”
The old man drove the glasses that collapsed to the tip of his nose, raised his head to look at the half-you who was talking, and said in surprise: "It's Lord You!" What wind brought you here? What's the point of coming to the demon market? Could it be that it is due to the interest of the quiet adult, and I also want to visit the demon city? ”
"Yes." Banyou didn't beat around the bush and directly admitted the purpose of the trip.
Turtle Lao said this just to make fun of Banyou, he didn't think that the half-tryst would really respond, and when he realized that Banyou was serious, Turtle Lao's attitude also changed, no longer a set of almost greetings, returned to the serious appearance of business, and said solemnly: "Lord You, it stands to reason that you are kind to the little demon, help the little demon to recapture the demon city from the black shark, so that the little demon will not lose the face of the ancestors, you are like recreating parents for the little demon, but the demon city is the work of the ancestors, the rules cannot be abolished, please abide by it." If Lord Yu can take out something that makes the little demon feel strange, he can go in, if not, the little demon can only say sorry. ”
"It's quite principled, and I've met a stubborn one." Huai Wei listened and laughed on the side, and when she saw the half-embarrassed look, she gave him an idea, "What's so difficult about strange things, take out the pool water I gave that day and show it to him, and keep it that he hasn't seen it." ”
"Yes, please let the little demon open his eyes." The turtle was full of anticipation, and his eyes lit up.
"Nope." To Huaiwei's surprise, Banyou refused and did not give a reason, but his attitude was extremely resolute.
"Then I can only let Jidao come out to breathe."
