It was about one o'clock in the morning, and the distant and crisp bell came as scheduled, and Ling Ye suddenly flew into the air with the day, and after a while, he saw a villager from a family in the northernmost part of the village walk out.

Observing left and right, he found that there was only one villager who was driven by Gu worms, and he was happy during the day and night, and followed closely behind that villager.

The route was almost the same as last night, and after a few turns, the figure of the villager came to the village committee from the direction on the right.

Day and night carefully followed behind, and determined that the route that the villager went to was the path next to the village committee, and couldn't help but wonder: "We haven't checked this path and there are no strange places, why do they want to pass here, what is so special?" ”

"Just keep up and know." Tugging on Day's arm, Ling Ye quickened his pace to keep up.

Turning into the path, they were only more than a meter away from the villager during the day, and during the day, a pair of bright eyes stared at the back of the villager, and they always paid attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.

The fog suddenly rose, but this time the day and Ling Ye had already taken precautions, and within a few seconds when the fog had not completely obscured their vision, Ling Ye instantly triggered divine power to disperse all the fog that was a few meters close to them, and the figures of the villagers who were looming in front of them and about to disappear were clear again.

This time, day and night were closer, and the two of them walked directly on both sides of the villager, one left and one right.

When the fog cleared, Day and Night suddenly found that they had unknowingly followed the villager to the southernmost part of the village, and the high slope in front of them was the fire temple where the village was enshrined.

"Fire Temple?" Bai Bai and Ling Ye glanced at each other in surprise, and Ling Ye looked ahead with a deep gaze, "Follow up." ”

Sure enough, the villager's footsteps were indeed walking towards the high slope step by step, and at this time, a cat meow suddenly came from the quiet middle of the night, which immediately distracted the attention of the day and the night.

It is already very strange to hear a cat meow in the middle of the night, not to mention how it is possible not to care about it in such a situation.

So during the day and at night, he subconsciously looked in the direction where the cat's meow came from, but he only glanced back at Ling Ye, but found that the villager who was still beside the two people just now had disappeared.

"During the day." Ling Ye called Bai Bai's name with a solemn face, and Bai Bai came back to his senses and looked at Ling Ye's expression even more heavy, "Ling Ye, I just saw the shadow of a cat flashing by......"

Ling Ye frowned, and asked Bai Bai with a deep gaze, Bai Bai nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Well, it's that black cat......"

Ling Ye exhaled heavily, turned to look at the empty front, and said coldly: "That person is gone." ”

Bai Bai suddenly reacted, ran forward two steps and turned his body to look around, and indeed found that the villager had long disappeared and couldn't even see half of his shadow.

"Is this the so-called turning the tiger away from the mountain?" During the day, he looked at Ling Ye helplessly.

Ling Ye nodded and chuckled, "It could also be a surprise." ”

"Then the two of us have been tricked." During the day, he looked at Ling Ye and laughed bitterly.

Ling Ye shrugged, "That's right. ”

"So what do we do now, look for traces of that person around here, see if there are any traps around here, or go after that black cat." Asked during the day.

"Let's look around here first, that cat doesn't know where to run, and it's too late to chase it now."

"Okay." Shrugging his shoulders during the day, he resigned himself to his fate and began to look around the place.

On both sides of this hillside are not too deep ravines, from which tall trees flourish, and the umbrella-like canopy stands like a large mushroom on both sides of the slope.

The cat's meow sounded behind their side, so Midnight and Daytime were turning their heads from the left and right sides to the rear, respectively, indicating that the key to the villager's rapid and unprovoked disappearance was ahead.

But what was in front of him, only the Fire Temple dozens of meters away, and a few trees planted on the flat ground in front of the Fire Temple, and nothing else.

"Could it be that this villager's strange disappearance has something to do with this fire temple?" Guessing during the day, following Ling Ye's footsteps to approach the Fire Temple, he walked around the open space in front of the Fire Temple and didn't find any clues, looking at the three closed doors, he asked during the day, "Ling Ye, do you want to go in and have a look." ”

The answer is naturally yes, but when I think of going to see the room full of tablets in the middle of the night, as well as the sculpture enshrined in the statue of the fierce god and the evil fire god, I always feel gloomy during the day, and my heart can't help but feel cold.

However, thinking of those missing villagers, he still mustered up the courage to follow during the day, and just pushed open the door to give people the first visual impact.

Ling Ye opened the doors of the three rooms one by one, and the room was silent, and the two of them carefully investigated the three rooms, and Ling Ye used mana to explore, but still did not find any abnormalities.

"It's weird, there's nothing out of the ordinary, how the hell did that person disappear from front of us all of a sudden." I couldn't figure it out during the day, and Ling Ye was also frowning, this person could disappear silently in front of his eyes in an instant, there was definitely a big cat in it, but unfortunately they hadn't found it yet.

"What to do, what are we going to do now!" Standing on the top of the hillside and looking down on the whole village during the day, he felt a cold and strange feeling from this seemingly quiet and peaceful village chief for the first time during the day.

"I can't find anything now, so I can only wait for tomorrow night to continue."

"I'll follow them tomorrow night without blinking an eye, and I'll never let them disappear from sight again." During the day, he secretly clenched his fists and said fiercely.

It was almost the second half of the night when the two of them returned to Zhu Yumin's house together, although both of them were preoccupied, but they didn't have the fairy physique of the night during the day, and after lying on the bed and thinking for a while, they slowly closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Ling Ye didn't rush to sleep, just quietly looked at the sleeping face during the day, and didn't know what to think.

Suddenly, Ling Ye seemed to feel a faint light in the room, and instantly turned his head to look over, just in time to see that there seemed to be a dim light in the bottle containing two Gu worms on the table.

Ling Ye quietly looked at the bottle for a while, and found that there was no light again, so he ignored it and fell asleep with the day in his arms.

On this day, the day was undoubtedly late again, and Ling Ye naturally accompanied him.

It's just that when I got up during the day and midnight, when I went out, I only found Zhu Yumin's old mother there, and there was no one else, even the villagers who used to report that they came to Zhu Yumin every morning were gone.

"Wake up and have breakfast." Zhu Yumin's old mother looked at the two figures in front of her dizzily and said.

"No need, auntie, where did they go, Brother Zhu?" Asked during the day.

"It seems that there are people from the village, and they all go out to greet them."

Bai Bai frowned slightly, and followed Ling Ye out of the door with a thoughtful expression, "Someone's coming, welcome?" ”

"Maybe someone from the four major families is here." Ling Ye reminded him, and it suddenly dawned on him during the day, "Yes, yes, it's very likely." Let's go and see who the four major families are sending. ”

Day and night followed the footsteps of other villagers who heard the message to the head of the village, and at this moment, on the road in front of the village entrance, a black sedan was followed by an off-road vehicle slowly stopping at the village entrance.

On the first car, two men over half a hundred years old in neat tunics walked down, with a strict and official appearance, and at first glance they were government officials.

On the domineering off-road vehicle behind, three handsome and upright young people with their own styles walked down.

Seeing a few people getting out of the car and walking over, the police chief and the head of the police station, as well as all the policemen involved in the case, Zhu Yumin and some villagers in the village, all waited on both sides of the road to welcome them.

"Mayor Zheng, Chairman Chen, you are here." Obviously, only people of the rank of Director Miao knew these two upper-level officials, and immediately strode forward and greeted them warmly.

"Director Miao, these three are the masters specially sent by the superiors to deal with this case." Mayor Zheng nodded lightly at Director Miao, and turned to look at the three young people beside him and smiled politely: "Three, this is Miao Aiguo, director of the Hongdong County Public Security Bureau, if you need anything, you can directly ask him." ”

"Hello Director Miao." The tall man at the head nodded, "I'm Zhang Lupan, the representative who sent someone to solve this case this time, and the details need to be further explained to us by Director Miao." ”

"I'm Zhao Rui." Zhao Rui pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, his indifferent expression, and cold words did not match his appearance of being polite and knowledgeable.

"I'm Zhao Bin." Zhao Bin took off the big sunglasses on his face and showed a big smile at Director Miao.

"Okay, okay, with three of you, I can finally put my mind at ease." Director Miao said with excitement.

"Director Miao, I heard that you also found two unknown mages to come to the village?" Suddenly, Chairman Chen, who had been silent, said lightly with an attitude of asking for guilt.

Miao Aiguo laughed a little crampedly, pushed Zhu Yumin beside him, looked at Chairman Chen and said with a smile: "It's not this Zhu Yumin, and I don't know where I found someone, saying that I could solve this matter and bring it in." But don't worry, now that three high-ranking people have been sent from above, I will definitely drive those two people away as soon as possible. ”

"It's best this way, it's a big deal, and it's better not to let unnecessary people know too much." Chairman Chen said with a calm face.

"Yes, yes...... Zhu Yumin, did you hear it, go and get rid of those two liars now. Miao Aiguo said sternly at Zhu Yumin.

When Day and Night approached, they happened to hear Miao Aiguo say that they wanted to drive the two liars away, and the eyes of the villagers on the side who looked at them instantly deteriorated when they heard these words, as if the two of them were really deceitful gods, with some disgust and contempt in their eyes.

Treated as a liar and day and night: "......"
