Dongxiang Village practices democratic self-government.

Since the village was formed naturally hundreds of years ago, it has a unique culture. It has always been somewhat isolated, so it was designated as one of the independent villages with autonomy in the government's reform efforts a few decades ago. The villagers were allowed to carry out various punishments, including the death penalty, under the rulings of the presbytery.

The Council of Elders is made up of three elders, headed by the Grand Elder. The Presbyterian Council's penal decision can be enforced with a single notification to the Shibuya Town Government. At this time, the decision had been decided, and the person who reported it had already mounted a fast horse and carried a torch to Shibuya Town.

In the square, the elder's nephew, Gu Bao, and others were escorting Xue Ziqing, Xueji's mother, to the cell. Three days later, she will be escorted to a mass grave outside the village to be executed.

The people began to disperse, and the Great Elder also branched out from the guards beside him, and tremblingly turned around and walked into the large wooden house behind the high platform, the Village Elders' Council.

The curtain of the door had been rolled up, and on both sides of the Eight Immortals table facing the door, two elders were sitting upright.

The Great Elder's gaze swept over their cloudy faces and landed on the screen behind the Eight Immortals' table.

The Great Elder bowed to the ground against the screen:

"I wonder if you're satisfied with this treatment?"

The screen is carved with dragons and phoenixes, but the dragons and phoenixes are silent.

"Great Elder doesn't need to be polite, come in and speak. A deep, deep voice came from behind the screen.

The Great Elder slowly walked around the screen. Go to the dark inner hall.

In the middle of the inner hall was a long, simple table with an oil lamp on it. At this time, five soldiers in uniform were sitting around the table.

The one who spoke just now was a middle-aged officer at the head. Judging by the epaulettes, it is the rank of captain.

This person has a dark complexion, a tall figure, and a majesty that is not angry and arrogant, but when he feels it carefully, it seems that there is still a trace of black gas in the hall. It was a faint aura that swirled around him.

To the left of the middle-aged captain sat two burly young male soldiers. The body is strong, the muscles are bulging, and one of them has a long scar on his face, and at first glance he is a powerful person. On the right are a young and beautiful female lieutenant officer and a thin man with eyes.

The middle-aged captain reached out and made a gesture of invitation, letting the Grand Elder into a chair across the table.

"This verdict is a little different from what we planned before......

The Great Elder trembled slightly.

"But you're doing a great job. The captain nodded to the Great Elder: "We must take that kid, he has fled into the jungle, and it is really difficult for us to catch him." But now to put her mother to death, he will definitely come back. We're just here to wait for the rabbit. ”

"I didn't want to, but I didn't expect ...... form" The Great Elder relaxed and sighed.

"It doesn't matter. She can only blame her son. The captain said.

The Great Elder looked around at the five soldiers present, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Several military masters have also seen it, this kid has already killed all the hunters we sent out, he is likely to be the legendary son of the demon in our village, I'm afraid ......."

Speaking of this, the Great Elder stopped talking, and turned his gaze to the bronze statue enshrined in the inner hall behind the officer: "I'm afraid that only the legendary Nian Shi can subdue his ......."

It is a statue that has been enshrined in the Presbyterian Church for generations. On the statue, there is a young man dressed in a strange robe-like costume, although it is no longer visible after being worn out for a long time, but the statue is handsome and quite superior.

This statue is the statue of the person who was called Nianshi by the Great Elder, who is said to have killed the son of the demon and saved Dongxiang Village. According to legend, this person has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, sometimes turning into a dragon and taking off, sometimes walking in human form, whether it is a man or a god, no one can tell. Judging from the clothing of the statue, it is also exotic, and it does not seem to be an Oriental.

"Hahahaha!" The captain could tell that the Great Elder was suspicious that he was no match for the Demon Child. He opened his mouth and laughed: "What son of the devil, what kind of teacher? ”

Without waiting for the captain to finish speaking, the burly scar-faced soldier sitting beside him suddenly stood up, strode to the incense case, picked up the bronze statue of the Nian Shi, and twisted the statue into a ball of copper twist in an instant with both hands. The metal staggered, making a piercing creaking sound.

The Great Elder was stunned. What a power it is. And it seems that it's not just about power.

"This ...... This statue ...... It turns out that several military masters are not mortals, and they are really clumsy, and they hope to forgive their sins. The Great Elder was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, not even daring to look at the statue of the Nian Master again.

"There is no demon child at all, we know what kind of person that child is, our special task force is dedicated to dealing with people like him, not to mention a child who has just awakened in his teens, even if he is an adult whose ability is already stable, he has to be restrained. You just have to lure him out, and the rest is not your concern. ”

"Yes, yes, I don't know about the village's autonomy......" the Great Elder said hesitantly.

The captain officer smiled coldly.

"Don't worry, as long as we catch this child, we won't cancel the village's autonomy. And if you cooperate with us in handling the case, you will also be rewarded by the government. ”

As the officer said this, the young female lieutenant beside him frowned slightly.

"Thank you! On behalf of all the villagers of Dongxiang Village, thank you for the great kindness and virtue of the military master......"

As he spoke, the Great Elder bowed again.

"Alright, there's nothing to do, you can go down first. ”

"Yes, yes, the old man retired first. "If the Great Elder is pardoned, he will go backwards out of the inner hall.

The other two elders had been waiting in the outer hall, and when they saw the Great Elder come out, they all cast inquiring glances at him.

"No problem. The Great Elder nodded at them.

The two elders also nodded, and one of them sighed and said, "Although this kid is a little rebellious, he has never caused anything, and that Xue Ziqing is also a person who keeps to himself, this time there must be something strange." ”

"I can't take care of it. I can't take care of it. The Great Elder shook his head and sighed as well.

The three of them left the chamber like this.

In the council chamber, only five soldiers remained.

The beautiful lieutenant said to the captain, "Captain, I think it's a bit inappropriate to threaten the village chief like this. The matter has not yet been investigated, and it is unknown whether the child is the murderer......"

Scarface interrupted the female officer, "What else is investigating? We've already inspected the scene of the incident, which is the broken barn." There are indeed traces of the battle of the capable. The eight people who died were all ordinary people, so this kid must be an awakened ability, isn't it obvious that he is not a ......murderer? We're not police, our job is to bring back the capable, so what's the point?"

"Even so, threatening the village chief with autonomy and executing the child's mother...... It's a loss of military status!" the female officer said stubbornly.

"Soldier's identity?" The middle-aged captain known as the captain stood up, obviously a little angry, and the black aura between his eyebrows became even thicker: "A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty! It doesn't matter how you do it, besides, I have the final say in this team! Put away your senseless sense of honor for me! Lieutenant Liu!"

With a wave of his hand, he knocked the copper twist on the table that had been twisted by Scarface into the air. There was a muffled bang, and the copper twist was firmly embedded in the wooden wall. What's even more amazing is that the twist-shaped copper block was broken into a copper cake at this time, and there were traces of fingers on it.

With just a seemingly random backhand wave, the bronze can be beaten into a cake shape, which is absolutely beyond the reach of a human being.

The lieutenant blushed angrily, but was helpless. The man with glasses hurriedly pulled her away and signaled her to calm down with his eyes.

"Yes...... Captain. Eventually, the lieutenant squeezed a few words out between her teeth.

"Start arming and preparing to capture!"

"Yes!"
