Chapter 9: The Girl of the Emperor
"Daozun, please have tea, the prefect will be here soon." The servant respectfully handed the tea to Bai Zimo, and a maid carried tea and pastries in front of Fu Yao, and was very thoughtful.
The reason why people respect the demon hunter so much is because I don't know what and why, the seal of the passage between the two worlds of demons and demons to the human world was destroyed, and the demons invaded the human world, ran rampant everywhere, and did many evils, and finally the demon hunters and other capable people joined forces to seal it, and the world was peaceful again. In that melee, the human losses were heavy, and many of the inheritances of the Capable Men disappeared in this battle, except for the Demon Hunter due to the large number of participants. Although the passage was sealed, not all the demons were eliminated, and there were still many monsters hiding in unknown corners, ready to attack. That's why the presence of the Monster Hunter is all the more important. But because of the limitation of talent, there are very few people who become demon hunters, so it is a great thing to be able to become a demon hunter in the mortal world, let alone a relatively high-level demon hunter like Bai Zimo. As long as Bai Zimo wants to, then he can be treated as a guest wherever he goes.
Hearing Bai Zimo's arrival, the prefect quickly came to the hall with a group of people, "The prefect of Qinghe Town led everyone to meet Lord Daozun. Please forgive us for not being able to greet you in time. ”
"It doesn't matter." Bai Zimo didn't care much about this, "I came here this time mainly to ask about the case of the loss of the baby, as well as the folk about ghost birds." ”
"Yes." The prefect replied and said to the master beside him, "You go and bring over the files related to the loss of the baby in the past two months." ”
The master left in response, and the prefect caught a glimpse of Fu Yao sitting on the side eating pastries and asked, "I don't know who this is?" ”
"My assistant." Bai Zimo responded lightly, with a cold and ascetic look, if it weren't for the face that became not very good-looking after being disguised, it would be more pleasing to the eye.
"Oooh!" The prefect hurriedly responded, and the master quickly came back with a large number of files, and according to the prefect's instructions, he put them on the coffee table next to Bai Zimo, "This is all the files related to the disappearance of babies recently." Since the end of June this year, there have been babies lost, and the day before the baby is lost, there are usually blood dripping baby clothes as a mark, and we have lined up people to strictly guard them, but the child is still lost in the end! The husband who beat the guard said that he saw a black shadow flying over, like a bird, and we don't know the specifics, this case has not been solved, but it has become more and more serious in the back, the lower officials are incompetent, and they have not caught the murderer, let alone the monster! ”
"......" Bai Zimo looked at the archives carefully, and it was no different from what the prefect said, and he also had a bottom in his heart, "The case of the loss of the baby is indeed inseparable from the monster, and the rest has to be said separately." I need the prefect to send some people to help me. ”
"Yes, everything is up to your arrangement." The prefect nodded hurriedly, "When will the adult prepare to eliminate the demon?" ”
"This is not in a hurry, I still have to prepare, and now there are many places that have questions, you first send someone to post notices, so that people with children can raise their awareness of the protection of children, and there is that the baby's clothes must be well protected, especially at night must be taken back!" Bai Zimo said solemnly, "And let the people rest assured, don't cause panic!" ”
"Yes!" The prefect turned his head to the master beside him and said, "Do you remember what the adult said just now?" Command it quickly. "The hard-working master had to do things hard.
"Lord Daozun, this is the first head catcher of my Qinghe Town Mansion - Zhang Meng." The prefect pointed to the head catcher on the side and said, "Why don't you come and meet your lord!" ”
"Little Zhang Meng has seen Lord Daozun." Zhang Meng is a burly man with a big knife pinned to his waist, and the whole person reveals a fierce and vicious aura.
"No need to be polite." Bai Zimo is very satisfied with Zhang Meng, this person is full of righteousness, which is extremely rare, "I will have to trouble Zhang Zhutou in the future." ”
"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Fu Yao's sharp eyes found that such a big man's ears were actually red, was he shy?
After discussing the relevant matters, Bai Zimo was about to leave, and the prefect tried his best to keep Bai Zimo, wanting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, but Bai Zimo firmly refused, "Lord Prefect, you can stay here!" Zhang Zhutou, I will borrow it for a few days, and then I will return it to you when the case is resolved. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." The prefect hurriedly responded, "Everything is subject to the orders of the adults." ”
After Bai Zimo took Zhang Meng and Fu Yao out of the mansion, he said to Fu Yao, "You go back to the inn first, don't run around, Zhang Zhutou and I will go to do something." ”
"......" Fu Yao pursed her lips and swallowed the question she wanted to ask, "Hmm." ”
Looking at Fu Yao's figure gradually moving away, Zhang Meng scratched his head and asked, "Isn't it a bit bad to let this girl go back alone?" ”
"It's okay!" Bai Zimo frowned, "Let's go to the homes of the people who have lost their babies in the past few days to have a look." ”
Zhang Meng had no choice but to leave with Bai Zimo. Fu Yao on the side was walking on the road alone and was sullen, and Lu Yiyao had no choice but to enlighten her when she saw this, "Be happy!" After all, you and Bai Zimo have just known each other, and it's normal for him to be wary of you! ”
"But wasn't he fine yesterday?" Fu Yao felt a little aggrieved.
"......" Lu Yiyao, who has no experience in comforting, is a little anxious, what should I do!
"If you want to open a little, it's good that you get to know each other slowly!" Lu Yiyao explained a little stiffly.
"Hmm." Fu Yao thought in frustration, Bai Zimo was defensive of her and unhappy!
didn't want to go anywhere, after Fu Yao returned to the inn, he stayed in his room all the time, chatting with Lu Yiyao without a match, and finally fell asleep while chatting. Seeing that she was asleep, Lu Yiyao breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing to do, and she began to cultivate, thinking that one day she would be able to condense her physical body with the power of her soul, and then she would be able to break away from Fu Yao's body.
Here, Bai Zimo and Zhang Meng went to the homes of the people who had recently lost their babies and asked a little about the situation. After taking a look at their situation, most of them are similar, and based on the residual breath at the scene, it can be inferred that it was the same demon.
"Zhang Zhutou, I don't know if there is a bamboo forest near Qinghe Town?" On the way back, Bai Zimo asked Zhang Meng.
"Bamboo forest?" Zhang Meng thought for a while, "Yes, there is a large bamboo forest just outside the west of the city, which is gloomy, and I heard that it is haunted, and few people usually go there." Why are you asking this, my lord? ”
"Haunted?" Bai Zimo's eyes changed, "You come to the inn tonight to wait for me, and let's go to this bamboo forest to see this ghost together." ”
"Ghosts?" Zhang Meng, who was rectum, said that he didn't understand Bai Zimo's twists and turns, "Aren't we going to catch the monster who stole the baby?" ”
"You'll understand when the time comes!" Bai Zimo didn't explain, "You go back first!" I remember to wait for me at the Tongfu Inn when I was a child. ”
