Chapter 19: The Devil (Part II)
Saying that, the prototype suddenly appeared quietly for three seconds, only to see that her complexion suddenly became snow-white, her hair fell into snow in an instant, the pupils in her eyes began to give birth to characters, her body began to emit a blue shimmer, and her face became a little more bewitching and moving. The skirt on her body was suddenly blown up by the air waves, revealing the coiled steel cables on her white legs.
"This ...... If it's really a person from the underworld, he carries everything that hooks the soul. β
This contrast is too great, at the beginning, Jing Jing was wearing a slightly immature orange long dress, pure white stockings, coupled with the fleshy baby face, black and soft hair, and big watery eyes, who would have thought that this ordinary girl dressed as a student would be an official of the underworld, we all know people and don't know our hearts, let alone a ghost.
I thought about it carefully, and I didn't feel a sense of epiphany, no wonder Jingjing's body was so cold, it turned out that she was a ghost herself, and it seemed that only her inconspicuous appearance could better lurk in the human world, to find her prey, that day she stayed at the top of Mount Tai, it seemed that she was doing this, so it seemed reasonable that those weirdness on her body.
What a hidden ghost.
"Black and White Impermanence is the most senior official in the Underworld, and compared to them, I am just a minion, not a colleague. We have a very important task to do in this world. Jing Jing frowned and said seriously. We're going to capture a wicked goblin. β
"Leprechaun?" Yu Ge seemed to have a little more doubt. "It seems that the matter of hunting demons is rarely heard in this era, and it doesn't seem to be the domain of Hades, right? Isn't Hades only responsible for the dead? β
As he spoke, Yu Ge couldn't help but sneer. "Little sister, you're not here to arrest me, are you?"
"Sister, don't be kidding, you have never hurt any mortals, you don't know, in addition to judging the dead, Hades will also change the fate of a living person at some specific times, which means that we are also arresting some goblins who hurt humans for no reason." Jing Jing explained. "A vicious goblin will often increase his Taoism by killing mortals, which is a great disaster for mortals who have no resistance. It is necessary for Hades to judge him in advance. This matter has only been in recent years, because there are more and more unjust souls in Hades, and these unjust souls have become one of the most unstable factors in Hades, in order to appease these people and let them enter the most formal reincarnation procedures, the Council of the Ten Temples has specially added this directive, to capture the bad goblins for trial and then directly throw them into the Infernal Hell. β
"Is there still such a goblin in this era?" Jing Jing said the head of the Tao, although I was still confused, but after all, I knew very little about the underworld, and it was difficult to correct the truth of her words. "It turned out to be your Hades business, I thought you were a ...... That's a bit of a disappointment. β
I naturally know why Yu Ge swept away, she must have regarded Jing Jing as a mysterious person at the beginning, and wanted to peel off the cocoon like a detective to see through the truth of the matter, but it turned out to be just a routine matter in the underworld, how could this not disappoint the curious Yu Ge?
But because I've never seen anyone in Hades, my curiosity grows.
"Okay, Miss Jingjing, I believe you, but what you said is the work of Hades itself, how can I help?"
Jing Jing frowned again, then sighed and said to us. "Truth be told, under normal circumstances, Hades shouldn't turn to mortal people, but this mission is too difficult. I have to need Sister Yuge to help me. β
"Oh? Do you want me to help you catch demons? I'm not interested in that at all. β
"Yes...... The mana of that goblin is too deep, and I can't subdue him alone no matter what, but if I add my sister's mana, defeating him is definitely a win. β
I can understand Yu Ge's mood at the moment, to be honest, she is 10,000 unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, it was because the whole incident was unresolved before, which aroused her curiosity, and now that the identity is quietly revealed, it makes her a little uninterested. "Jingjing girl, I won't sell Guan Zi anymore, I promised Liu Quan before that I will no longer participate in the struggle between different forces, you are sorry, I really ......" asked Yu Ge to be a thug, which is really a bit inconsistent with her identity and personality.
"Sister, please don't reject me yet." Blinked quietly and said pitifully. "The goblin you're going to catch now actually has a lot to do with you. A big grudge to be exact. β
Yu Ge was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "No, we don't have much contact with other elves anymore. Not to mention a grudge?"
"What if this goblin kills your companions? For example, the three people who are traveling with you this time. "Quietly staring straight at us, it makes me shiver." Sister Yuge's mana is so strong, did she watch her companion being killed by the goblins? β
Yu Ge's eyes, which were already a little tired, suddenly flickered again. "What do you say? Fellow travelers? Do you mean Boss Ma and the Chen couple?"
"Is there anyone else who walks with you in this hillside dwelling?" Quietly replied. "Sister Yuge, haven't you been wondering why these three people died, and who is the real initiator?"
Not only did these words frighten Yu Ge, but even my blood was pounding at the moment, and my curiosity rose to the peak. "Miss Jingjing, are you also observing this?"
"I'm in charge of this kind of business in Hades, so I'm more professional than you, and I can observe more details than you." Jing Jing's eagle-like eyes at this moment are sharp and keen. "Let me get to the point, this Boss Ma was not killed by Mr. Chen at all, Mrs. Chen's completely unfounded nonsense, because she hates Mr. Chen, so she thinks that Mr. Chen did any bad thing, hey, these two people died in vain and worthless!"
Jing Jing's words are extreme, but in the end, they are still to the point, and they are almost the same as what Yu Ge thinks.
"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Yu Ge couldn't wait to ask. "You'd better not lie to us."
"This murderer is the same person as the goblin I want to catch, it is the mistress of this mountain bottom house, Han Ke, she is not a human at all, she is a terrible and vicious vixen, and the male owner Zhang Zhong is just a plaything in her hands." Jing said excitedly, and his voice was several times louder.
This time, Yu Ge was completely shocked, because Jing Jing once again said that her guess was the result. "I hope my sister can join me and arrest her!"
"Miss Jingjing, this is to talk about evidence, I also suspected Mrs. Han Ke, but I didn't find any evidence, I want to know how you determined that Mrs. Han Ke was the one who killed Boss Ma."
"Then I'll tell you 1510!" The quiet look does not allow us to question anything at all. "As you know, I live next door to Mr. Ma, and that night I heard the sound outside, and I heard the sound of high heels in addition to the old horse's drunken self-talk, and I quietly looked out of the window, and happened to see Han Ke pushing Mr. Ma down from the shore."
"Quiet girl, this kind of statement is completely unconvincing to us, this is just your own statement, you can see it when you say it, you can see it, what you say is what it is, we can't tell the truth from the fake at all. And I want to ask you, why didn't you tell us this secret in the first place. Although Yu Ge is a little indifferent, it is this indifference that makes her calm.
"You have to trust me," Jing Jing began to stroke his long hair restlessly. "Sister, I'm going to catch her, and when I don't have a perfect confidence in catching her, I definitely won't dare to expose it."
Yu Ge didn't speak, but it was obvious that he still couldn't be completely convinced by Jing Jing.
"And do you remember that when I first came here, I deliberately contradicted Han Ke a few words, just to provoke her, because a goblin lives in the human world and will always suppress his anger, just like my sister, at that moment I smelled the breath of the fox spirit on Han Ke's body."
In the final analysis, this is still Jingjing's self-talk, and we still can't verify it, but in retrospect, Jingjing did show a lot of disgust with Han Ke from the beginning, and I was still very curious at the time, thinking that it was because a girl of Jingjing's age was too rebellious.
"And don't you find this place at the bottom of the mountain very weird? How can there be such a holy place in this world, free to entertain guests, in fact, this is just a faΓ§ade, this mountain dwelling is actually a hell, everyone who comes to stay here will not escape the fate of death, the pool on the first floor has been piled with dry bones. β
I have to say that there is some truth in Jing Jing's words, but in this way, this mountain bottom dwelling seems to have a bit of a strange atmosphere.
"How do you think I know about this place at the bottom of the mountain, it's because I know some information in advance, Brother Liu, do you remember that I advised you to leave here quickly on the first day, in fact, I just didn't want you to get involved in this matter, but at that time, I didn't expect Han Ke to start killing people so quickly, and he started killing people on the first night, and killed three birds with one stone."
I believe Jingjing's words, because when she was chatting with me on the waterfront that day, she did persuade me to leave here quickly, but this plan was later vetoed by Lao Ma and Mr. Chen and forced to run aground, if they left at that time, those three people would indeed not die.
"Then the reason why this pool is so cold is because there is resentment in it, right? Is it because there are too many tragically dead travelers piled up inside? β
Jing Jing nodded. "Brother Liu, you can figure it out, that's it, in fact, I wanted to tell you the truth that day, but I didn't know the identities of you and Sister Yuge at that time, so I didn't dare to say more."
Now I finally began to believe what Jing Jing said, because she dissected all the doubts to show us, this ghost difference in the underworld is indeed a grade stronger than me and Yu Ge.
"There are so many details like this, let me say one more doubt, have you noticed that this Mrs. Chen has the habit of burning incense, why do you think she did this, it's not because there is a ghost in her heart!" Quietly one evidence after another makes people simply powerless.
No matter how suspicious Yu Ge is, there is no reason not to believe Jing Jing at this moment, she also nodded, "If what you said is true, then the fact that this Han Ke is a goblin is an ironclad fact, it is really hateful, she actually relied on killing mortals to cultivate, and kept her husband completely in the dark." β
"That's the abominable thing about monsters, it's so cunning to find a mortal to be your own trick!" Jing Jing said angrily. "It's impossible for a vixen not to succeed in seducing a man, you see how hypocritical her gentle lady looks."
This mention of Zhang Zhong brought up more details in my heart, Zhang Zhong's indifferent attitude towards Han Ke, as well as the things that Zhang Zhong has been covering up, seem to imply the truth that Han Ke is a fox spirit. "I think this Zhang Zhong is afraid that he has known Han Ke's true identity for a long time, so he will not go home all year round."
"Alright, these things don't matter anymore, Miss Jingjing, now you can tell me how you need me to help you." Yu Ge, who was still shaking just now, was now firm, and he had changed his mind to help Jingjing. "This harmful goblin even killed our companions, so mad, then the next thing she wants to kill is Liu Quan and me!"
"Yuge, I think...... Let's think about it again, isn't black and white impermanence just in Mount Tai? Why not call them? "I always feel a little weird, I always feel like we are missing something, like a castle made of countless building blocks is missing a tile, although it doesn't look strange from the outside, and this tile alone will not affect the strength of the castle, but the missing piece is a mutilation, no matter how small it is.
"No, black and white impermanence will definitely alarm Han Ke, she is so cunning and will definitely escape, so we have no way to catch her again."
"Izumi, you don't have to worry. I've already decided to help Miss Jingjing this time. "Yuge doesn't seem to have listened to what I'm saying at all." Tell me, girl, what the hell is your plan. β
"That Han Ke has been cultivating for many years, and she has survived in this world for thousands of years before she controlled Zhang Zhong and controlled the bottom of the mountain, and her mana should not be underestimated." Jingjing's eyes emitted this sly light at this moment, as translucent as an owl. "Sister, that's good, you go and expose her in a while, and then she will definitely fight with you and want to kill you, and then I ask you to stalemate with her for a while, if you can defeat her, that's the best, even if you can't defeat her, it will cost her physical strength, because you expose her, she will definitely see you as an enemy, and will ignore my existence, and then I will attack her behind her back when she is distracted, and capture her."
This quietness really impresses me, this is really a foolproof plan, with Yu Ge's Taoism, ordinary monsters really can't deal with her and ask Yu Ge to help, it's really an excellent choice.
"Okay, that's fine, I also want to see how deep this murderous goblin is, so that he can commit a lot of crimes in the human world without being discovered." After saying that, Yu Ge pushed open the door and walked towards Han Ke's room, her room was at the other end of the hallway, and there were several rooms between us, which also ensured that our secret conversation with Jing Jing would not be overheard by Han Ke.
"Izumi, just stay in your room and sleep peacefully, and let me avenge your friends." Yu Ge turned away, the black tights looked particularly sharp, and at this moment I seemed to see her who was once a killer.
How could I sleep, I hurriedly and eagerly followed, in fact, I also wanted to see the true face of this Mrs. Han Ke.
I don't know if it's because I'm ignorant, or because of the thick plot of my Holy Father, but I always have a vague feeling that Miss Han Ke won't be such a person, even if the evidence is completely in front of me. It seems that the temptation of this vixen is really hard to extricate yourself. "Yuge, please wait a minute."
I turned around and saw that Haori had just come out of the big bird's nest, and he had been slapped hard by the leader of the fish demon in yesterday's battle, unconscious, but I didn't expect that now he looked radiant, and there was no sign of fatigue.
"Haori-chan, you've recovered so quickly."
"There are all kinds of plants growing on the island, and there are all kinds of herbs, and our people are still very good at treating some skin injuries." As he spoke, Haori took out a set of beautifully woven clothes from behind him, exuding a light blue light, and I watched from a distance, and I could clearly see the silk-thin lines on it, "Young Master Liu, thanks to your clever plan and rigorous deployment in this battle, the warship connected by iron cables has become the best carrier of thunder and lightning, because of you, we have the opportunity to defeat the invincible army of fish demons." This robe I have woven for you this morning from the finest crystal wood on our island, which is so tough that ordinary blades cannot cut it, and it is also resistant to fire and heat. You wear it, maybe it can save your life at a critical moment later. β
As he spoke, Haori took the opportunity to drape these clothes on my body gently, and I never expected that Haori, who was cold and indifferent on the surface, could be so enthusiastic and meticulous in her craftsmanship. Compared with Yu Ge's leaf coat, this robe is simply a luxury item to the position. I don't feel the weight at all when I put it on my body, but there is a subtle coolness flowing down my body, which makes me feel very comfortable. "The gift is meager, and I ask the son not to laugh."
"Miss Haori, this victory is a joint effort of all of us, and everyone is indispensable, but I won't be polite to you, I'll accept this robe."
"Well, Childe is really refreshing." Haori smiled at me as she smoothed out her robe for me. "Actually, although my sister and I have our own strengths, we have one thing in common, that is, we can both see through people's hearts."
"Ahh Haori's words alerted me a little, and I wondered if she had read through my thoughts.
"The flower of love really sprouts in your heart." Haori's smile is mature and elegant, she is not as quirky as Haka, but she can make people calm down naturally.
Actually, I'd love to ask Haori if she has any good advice, and I hope she can help me. It's just that my arm was suddenly grabbed by the person behind me and shook violently, so I couldn't explain it with peace of mind.
"Humph! You like the clothes your sister makes, don't you? You can guess what filthy thoughts you have in your mind right now. Yu Ge shook my hand as if he was questioning me.
I know this is Yuge joking, she hasn't spoken in a long time, and she must be doing this to break our silence now. But Haori was the first to me
