Chapter 19: Confusion
Li Zhi found Su Ziyan and informed him of his intention to investigate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Su Ziyan is a very decent woman, full of a sense of justice, and when she heard Li Zhi's request, she immediately agreed.
After a brief conversation, Li Zhi probably understood what kind of woman Su Ziyan was, in one sentence, she was a woman who did not let her eyebrows go, and she was very manly, but her facial features were quite upright, her hair was combed high and coiled, clean and neat, giving people a straightforward and heroic feeling.
Su Ziyan said: "I'm older than you, I'll call you, Brother Li." Your junior brother went to the county not long ago, and I thought you were sure to solve this case. ā
Li Zhi opened his mouth and said, "The sect said that it was a desolate beast called 'Bang'. ā
Su Ziyan suddenly realized: "Bang? It is indeed possible that the stone will blend in with the surrounding environment, which is quite difficult to find, and the stone likes to eat human flesh, which can just explain the disappearance of the villagers. Then if you already know the truth about this, why do you need me to ......?"
"If this is a 'stone' to do, it is indeed just a trivial matter, Miss Su can handle it alone, but later even the Black Dragon Sect and the Xuanyin Sect are involved, and the incident has not been resolved for a long time."
Su Ziyan smiled bitterly: "This is a problem of my ability, and this incident proves that my experience is still insufficient." Your Black Dragon Sect discovered the culprit all of a sudden, it's really amazing. ā
Li Zhi said: "No, I don't think this incident is caused by your lack of ability. I believe that Miss Su must have organized the villagers to strengthen their defenses, and even if they didn't organize, the villagers would make adjustments and changes in order to survive. Besides, the 'stone' only changes color and does not virtualize, how does it break through the defense line again and again? ā
"But ......"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "The disciple who died in the Black Dragon Sect was a seven-star Xuanshi, and the strength of the 'Bang' was just between a five-star Xuanshi and an eight-star Xuanshi, don't you think this is really too much of a coincidence?" ā
Su Ziyan reacted immediately: "Do you think someone is making small moves behind your back?" ā
Li Zhi nodded and said, "There are no dead people in the Xuanyin Sect, there are no dead people in the Su family, but the disciples of the Black Dragon Sect are dead." This is also the time when the tenth place is about to be announced......"
Su Ziyan said: "The Xuanyin Sect planned this matter, the Su family couldn't solve it, the Black Dragon Sect couldn't solve it, and finally the Xuanyin Sect took action to solve it, so that it would be logical to get a contribution and fight for a bargaining chip for the tenth place in a month." ā
The more Su Ziyan thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and gritted her teeth and said, "This group of beasts is really hateful!" How unreasonable is it to dare to kill the people for their own purposes! ā
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm just talking about a possibility, maybe it's not." That's why I need your help to investigate. ā
As they spoke, they had arrived at their destination.
According to statistics, there are more than 300 families living in this small county, and the development of the county is average, not rich but not poor.
Su Ziyan found the local county official, Li Zhi asked the county official to bring the information of the missing villagers, and Li Zhi compared the map of the county with the residence of the missing villagers, which can be said to be completely irregular, and did not deliberately target the villagers in a certain direction, they are all quite scattered.
The county official has been harassed by the villagers these days, asking him to solve the incident as soon as possible, the county official was so anxious that he could only ask for help from above, and now even the big men of the Su family have been sent, but there is still no progress in the matter. This frightened the county officials, and many people in the county left one after another, trying to flee the place. He also wants to run, but he is the county official here, and if he runs, he will definitely be beheaded.
After the county magistrate saw Li Zhilai investigating the case, he knelt down to him vigorously and begged him to solve the case so that they could live a peaceful life.
Almost everyone in this small county practices martial arts, they do not have the cultivation method of Xuanli, they can only activate the physical potential by exercising martial arts and strengthening the body. The stronger the qualification, the easier it is to activate the Xuan power, and those who do not have the qualifications will not be able to cultivate the Xuan Li even if they exercise for a lifetime.
There are two old people in the county who have activated the Xuan Force, and the younger one will leave the county as long as the Xuan Force is stimulated, looking for the sect and concentrating on the cultivation of the Xuan Force. Therefore, there are really few strong people with mysterious power in the village, most of them are just ordinary people who are physically stronger, and they can only use the tactics of crowds to push them up in the face of wild beasts.
They met the people of the Xuanyin Sect, and Su Ziyan wanted to go up and question them as soon as she saw them, but she was stopped by Li Zhi, at this time, doing so would only startle the snake, even if it was really what they did, they could veto it, after all, Su Ziyan had no substantial evidence.
Li Zhi went to find the missing people's families, and most of their family members disappeared at night, and the time period was uncertain. They all thought that there were evil spirits in the county, because they didn't see monsters at all, and sometimes when they fell asleep, the people around the bed disappeared, and no one ever noticed them, and no one knew what was going on.
No matter how careful they are, no matter how careful they are, people keep disappearing, and they can't do anything at all.
There was a strange atmosphere in the county, and in addition to panic and nervousness, there was also a sense of disobedience. Li Zhi couldn't tell where this sense of disobedience came from, and stopped in the center of the street a little dazed.
Wu Potian was patrolling the county early in the morning, and there were also many people from the Anti-Yuan Sect around him, and the secret method of the sect master had been passed on, but Wu Potian tried again and again, and the trace of 'Bang' was found, but after walking along the track, the trace suddenly disappeared, and there was no place to hide around.
Wu Potian continued to explore forward, and on the back mountain of the county, there was a faint trace, but it was quite faint. Every once in a while, the trail disappears, and the deeper you go. Wu Potian felt inappropriate, and the sky began to turn dark.
The black shadow scurried by, and slapped Wu Potian's back with a palm.
"You !!"
......
Li Zhi couldn't find the source of this sense of disobedience for a while, and decided to stay here temporarily.
He visited almost every household, but their emotions were not stable, the pain of losing their family members had caused them to lose their spirits, and the strange events in the county had not been dealt with for more than a month, and they were all afraid that they would become the next missing.
Sadness, melancholy, sluggishness
That's all Li Zhi feels here, the small county is enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness and despair. Some people have even given up on themselves and are drunk in taverns all day long. Others lock their families in the house, and the family members see each other as honest, and never give the monster a chance to take away their family.
Li Zhi found that his search came to a dead end, most of the villagers were reluctant to talk, Li Zhi tried coercion and intimidation, but the results were not good, they would only look at the side in despair, like a psychopath, muttering about the end of the world, what destruction.
"Is it some kind of rule that once a person loses the attention of his or her eyes, the rules will take the person away? If it's such a rule-related horror, how do I catch it, how do I deal with it? Their very existence represents calamity, and although they are also bound by other rules, finding their corresponding rules requires the sacrifice of a large number of people. ā
"No, no, it's unlikely that this world will involve the product of rules, there must be something I have overlooked."
"What the hell? How do I go about it? ā
"There were no strange noises, no breaches in the defensive line, no villagers were physically harmed, no bodies, no patterns in the missing data. How so? The key factors I should be looking for, everything I can think of have been figured out, what is it!!! ā
