Chapter 317: Demonic Plague (7)
"What to report, aren't professionals standing in front of you?" The first student to complain was also the most clever student, and immediately looked at Ouyang Ruyu and said with a smile: "Sister, you will protect us, right?" β
Ruyu sneered, slowed down her tone and said, "Well, it depends on whether what you say next is true." β
She looked at her and said solemnly: "The next question I ask you, you must answer it seriously, and you must not bring personal senses."
Yes is yes, no is no, what you see is the situation, don't say what you don't see and what you are not sure about. β
Ouyang Ruyu then gave them a storm of questions and answers, she asked questions quickly, the sentences were clear, and the students couldn't help but follow her pace, their minds were unprecedentedly focused, and they answered quickly when they thought of something.
Just asked for more than ten minutes, Ouyang Ruyu roughly figured out what happened to the whole thing.
She walked to the other side, carefully observing the place where the group had disappeared, and the staff came up to ask curiously, "Do you have any new discoveries?" β
Ruyu didn't answer and asked, "Has there ever been a large-scale death case in this place?" β
"Large...... Dead person? The staff was a little confused.
"Is there any major car accident, fire, earthquake, etc., that would cause a large number of deaths, or above, this place ......?"
Ruyu paused, stretched out her hand and gestured to a large area, "Is its predecessor a cemetery, where many dead people were buried, and the land we are stepping on under our feet, has it had any major battles and sacrificed many people like this?" β
The staff understood what Ouyang Ruyu meant, and immediately said, "I'll check the answer to the information now!" β
Although he didn't understand why Ouyang Ruyu was investigating these things, looking at her calm look, the staff felt that Ruyu must have made some new discoveries.
They are not afraid of Ruyu's request, but they are afraid that she will not make a request, and if she makes some progress after raising a good case, and does not mention anything, then it can really only make those missing people wait for death in vain.
In less than 10 minutes, the staff returned with a look of surprise and said, "Master Ruyu, there was a major car accident here 10 years ago.
At that time, a bus carrying passengers suddenly lost control and forcibly ran a red light, and there were pedestrians passing by at that time, so the pedestrians couldn't dodge, and they were all crushed! β
Ruyu raised her eyebrows: "The death toll." β
"There are 20 of them!"
"What were the number of missing students that were seen on the day of the incident?"
"According to incomplete statistics, there are about more than 10 people, no more than 30!"
Ruyu snapped her fingers, "That's right, there was a thunderstorm on the day of the incident, and the demons basically won't come out in this kind of weather, only the high-level demons are not so afraid of thunder and lightning."
But I see that the demon you have captured is just a low-level demon, and it is nothing more ordinary, and that kind of demon is not capable of making a dozen people disappear into thin air, even in its heyday, let alone so afraid of thunderstorms. β
In addition, Ruyu didn't say anything, it was because that demon was afraid of thunderstorms that ordinary people could easily catch it.
"So you mean that the group of people who disappeared on the day of the incident was not the work of this demon? But if it wasn't done by this demon, who would have done it? The whereabouts of those who disappeared are unknown......"
Ruyu raised her head and interrupted him, "Don't worry, listen to me first." β
"Thunderstorms are easy to conduct electricity, and in a dark and humid environment, combined with some special molecules in the air, it will happen to have a video tape function.
If I'm not mistaken, 10 years ago, the bus suddenly lost control and killed 20 people, and that day happened to be a thunderstorm, right? β
The staff was stunned for a moment, immediately looked down at the information, and muttered: "Yes, that day also happened to be a thunderstorm." β
Ruyu raised her hand and held the glasses that didn't exist on the bridge of her nose, "So there's only one truth." β
"What this group of students saw suddenly disappeared a dozen people, not real people, but the people who were hit by the bus 10 years ago, and it happened to be a thunderstorm, and under various special coincidences, there were phantoms of those people crossing the road on the ground.
The apparitions could not last long, and they were caught by this group of students when they appeared, which caused the so-called evil demon victimization incident. β
Ruyu said conclusively: "That is, no one is missing at all, all this is just a joke played by nature." β
The staff still can't react, he can't accept it, the investigation that has been sleepless all night for the past two days, and everything turned out to be fake!
"But we rushed to the scene as soon as we received the report, and we caught an evil demon here, how could it be just a phantom?"
Ruyu shrugged, "It's up to you." β
"There is no doubt that the demon must have some ulterior motive here, you have already caught it and let it kill itself, you can't reveal any secrets, and it just happened that such a vision happened nearby, so you put it here."
"But ......" staff still wanted to justify something, that because of the thunderstorm, the function similar to a video tape was a bit outrageous in his eyes.
Ruyu shook her head, she didn't plan to spend it here.
The reason has been identified, it is not a special energy, and it does not help her, and she plans to go to the next mission location.
"I understand that this kind of thing is very uncommon, but I think this kind of conclusion is the most true, why don't you wait a few days and come back and see.
It is not a trivial matter that there are more than a dozen people missing in the vicinity, and their families will definitely come to the door to report the case, and you will match them one by one.
If no one comes in a few days or even a month to report the disappearance, then my reasoning is correct. β
After Ruyu finished speaking, she left very neatly.
The staff looked at Ruyu's back as she left, opened her mouth, but was speechless and choked.
Ouyang Ruyu rushed to the scene of the crime in the third case non-stop, and this case finally came to the actual content.
The surrounding residents reported that they could always hear the crazy cries of demons in the middle of the night, and some people screamed and screamed in fear, and from time to time I could hear whispers to help me.
It is said that the people who went out to see did not return that night and did not show up for several days, so they were reported missing by nearby residents.
Because this demon seems to take pleasure in scaring people, if people don't take the initiative to provoke it, it won't pose a threat to people's lives for the time being, so the difficulty of the case has dropped a little.
Most of the people in the Warrior Guild went to pick up the high bounty task, and this kind of task was ignored for a while, and Ruyu picked it up.
When Ruyu arrived, she found that the nearby residents had been disturbed with sallow faces, black eyes, and a very bad mental state.
Those who have the ability have moved to other places to live, and those who have no ability can only stay up silently and go out during the day to buy some items that are always prepared to ward off evil spirits.
After listening to the demands of the surrounding residents, Ruyu said, "Can you find someone to take me to see the place where the screams came from?" β
As soon as these words came out, the residents did not dare to squeak.
It is also because the residents are so reluctant to know where the screams came from, so that they are still unable to determine the location of the crime in detail, only a general area.
Ruyu's eyes rolled, "In this way, if any of you can draw, you don't need to take me there, but just draw the place where the sound comes from." β
"Yes, yes, I can draw." The residents all breathed a sigh of relief and enthusiastically drew the range.
But in this painting, Ruyu sensed that something was wrong, and the screams that everyone heard were in different positions!
If they are all in the general area, the error is normal between several houses, but the sources of the sound that the residents think are all far from each other!
During the day, Ouyang Ruyu looked at all the places where the residents thought the sound was coming from, and did not find anything unusual, those were all empty houses, and the people in them had already moved out.
One of the residents said: "This house was occupied before, and after hearing the sound coming out, he felt as if the sound was coming from the house next door to him, so he moved out immediately on the second day, and he didn't even pack up his things, and asked me to help him collect it, but I didn't dare." β
Ruyu went out of his way to look at the house that the resident had said, it was an empty room, and if they had the courage to open it and look at it, they would find that it was spotless, not even furnished.
In addition, she also took a special look at the house where there were originally occupants, and the house was indeed very messy, with clothes stacked in a mess, and shoes on the shoe rack messed up.
The layout of the house can show that the owner was in a hurry when he left.
It's just that......
Ruyu's eyes stared, and she found that the refrigerator in the house was open, there was no power off, the refrigerator was still running, and there were many meat products stored in it, which were all dismantled and piled up in the refrigerator.
Something is wrong.
Even if the family dismantled some frozen meat for cooking the night before they moved out of the house, it was impossible to remove all the frozen meat as shown in the refrigerator, and put it in such a mess.
"Master, you want to save us, we don't have the money to move! Because of such a thing, the lot here is not worth selling it, and we still have the parents of the elderly here, so we can't do without it! β
"Yes, master, even if we can go to the hotel, but the hotel can stay for a while, not for a lifetime!"
"Master, as long as that demon doesn't go out, he won't take the initiative to come to the door, maybe he doesn't eat people, or let's burn some incense and send it away, right?"
When Ruyu returned from inspecting the house, she was surrounded by a large number of residents.
She soothed them, and said in a soft voice, "I'll stay here tonight to check on it, if there's really something wrong, the Warriors' Union will arrange for you to evacuate, don't worry." β
Ouyang Ruyu once again instructed extremely cautiously: "Don't go out at night, in case I encounter an evil demon and fight against an evil demon, as soon as you go out, you will be coerced by the evil demon as a handle, and you will even be eaten by it in one bite and turned into a source of their power."
For the sake of your lives, I suggest you stay out tonight. β
The demonic vision in this area has been happening for a week, and it is not that no one from the Warrior Guild has come to check on it during this week.
Just a few days ago, an exorcism team came over, and in order to completely find out the secret of the building's screaming, the residents of this area were evacuated and went to the hotel for a night.
Just in case they find the demons at night, they will hurt these innocent people when they fight the demons.
Strangely, the team didn't find anything that night, and the screams of the demons that bothered the residents could not be heard.
The entire building was completely reduced to a dead building, so the team had to turn in the mission in disgrace on the second day.
Thanks to the experiments done by this team in advance, they brought some information to Ouyang Ruyu, and Ruyu guessed that the screams of the evil demons were related to the residents who lived here.
Or rather, the demon's ultimate purpose is for the inhabitants.
As long as the inhabitants exist, the demons will exist, devouring their minds day and night, draining their vitality, and letting these people fall into its hands little by little.
So Ruyu doesn't plan to send this resident away, she wants to make a plan and catch turtles in the urn!
At night, Ouyang Ruyu stopped in the area where screams were always heard at night, and closed her eyes slightly, feeling the changes in the energy fluctuations in the air.
At this time, it is the great yin, and the remaining yang energy in the air is instantly swallowed and covered by the gradually rising yin energy, and the yang energy content falls to a low point, and the yin energy completely dominates this heaven and earth.
"Da, da, da......" Ouyang Ruyu walked slowly, scanning one house after another, and finally stopped her gaze on one of the rooms, which was also the one room she felt most wrong during the day.
She walked in, and there was no movement in the room, but she saw that there were wisps of black gas floating outside the window.
At this time, she had already turned on her energy sensing and expanded her spiritual sense.
Before the person reaches the window, her "eyes" can see the scene outside the window.
It's not that there's something wrong with this room, but the houses around her, and the houses below and below, all have wisps of black gas floating upward, as if gathering in a certain direction.
Ruyu frowned, opened the window and looked, her eyes couldn't help but stare at her.
These black gases are wafting out of the room again!
"What's the matter, these houses are obviously inhabited, and the residents have been observed during the day, and there is nothing wrong with them!"
Ruyu opened the window and jumped down, her feet in the air. True qi gushed out from under her feet, causing her body to slow down and fall to the ground unscathed.
Looking up, Ouyang Ruyu was even more surprised.
The black gas that floated out of the window and kept pouring up surrounded the building and formed a pattern, it was an eerie smiling face, and two horns like demons grew on its head!
Quickly flipping through the database, Ouyang Ruyu finally recognized what kind of demon this wasβthe Dark Demon!
As the name suggests, this is a combination of the dark aura in the human heart, which is ethereal and has no fixed form.
As long as there is a human being, this evil will never disappear!
