Although he knew that he was not here to play, he felt uncomfortable knowing that it was related to the "evil spirit", not to mention that he was also wearing the relic of the head of the "evil spirit".

"Actually, I don't know the origin of 'the dead are different' very clearly, can I ask for advice?" he couldn't help but speak, trying to find out the situation.

"You're really a good boy, you're Komatsu, right? You don't have to be so careful with us, just say whatever you want!" Carlos patted him on the shoulder with a wet hand, "It's all because Bingyi said something terrible before he died!"

"'Swinging Soldiers' Soldiers' Soldiers...... We've learned about their blood sacrifices, she's ...... What did you say?" Slightly displeased as he dodged Carlos's hand, Cedar struggled to remember.

Seeing his confused face, Jean replied slowly: "'The ants of the Divine Army, they are very unwilling, and it was Yan Ying's Nine Murderers who finally quelled the disaster...... We only entered the battle formation because we hated iron and steel, and the country was left for you to rob, and if we still can't make a prosperous world in the end, we will curse you to death', probably something like this. ”

Harden's eyes widened in astonishment: "That's what I said...... But that's just the angry words she said unwillingly before she died, right?"

"Maybe it's just a statement of anger, but the tragedy that happened later makes people have to consider its authenticity," answered him coldly, "and it was a series of murders." ”

"I heard that the modus operandi was extremely brutal?" asked Ivan hesitantly.

"If the investigation documents over the years are correct, this is indeed the case. In particular, in the first case of each case, the victims were tortured to death, and then their remains were destroyed, and the cruelty of the methods was almost like that of ghost animals. As he said this, Jean's hands trembled slightly.

“...... In this way, it is indeed as cruel as a demon's curse," Ataya frowned, "The guy who does this kind of thing has already demonized his heart......"

"That's right. At this point, I think half of this rumor is true. When they noticed, He Yanfang had already lost his smile and his expression was grim.

"Huh, it can't be like this, if even you, who know the Nine Evil Kings best, say that, you won't be able to investigate it at all, right?" Harden looked at He Yanfang unexpectedly, his voice two tones higher, sounding excessively sharp.

In response to his questioning, He Yanfang smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "No, I mean, except for the statement that demons are haunting, if a place is full of evil thoughts, this should also have some kind of impact on the residents of the place. ”

"Evil thoughts?" Harden's sharp expression softened slightly.

"Hmm. First of all, the first case was so miserable, I suddenly found that my companion's hands, feet, and even heads were abandoned at the door of my own house, unlike war, which has specific goals and its own righteousness, and I don't know who should be punished, and I am forced to live a life that may die at any time, and people's hearts are easily distorted, right? I think that as long as people have some hope and goals in their hearts, no matter how difficult life is, they will have a way to live well," He Yanfang sighed softly. Regrettably, compared to our long-standing wars, a few tragedies can easily destroy our inner hopes. ”

“...... Is it really that serious?" Cedar wondered.

"It's cruel indeed. We didn't expect it to be so miserable," Jean showed a bitter expression, "Actually, Mr. He and I witnessed the Huakaiyuan incident, and for mysterious reasons, we who witnessed it forgot the exact details of the deceased and the crime, but the sense of powerlessness and pain at that time still chills us to this day. ”

"Forget ......," Harden was incredible.

"It's because you can't find out the identity of the deceased over the years that it's scary, and it's really creepy that people who have already died re-enter the crowd to kill. Carlos cowered exaggeratedly.

"How can those resurrected dead disappear? they won't keep killing until they are discovered, right?" asked Han Feng, who had been frowning and listening to them.

"The curse can only be stopped by destroying the dead, and if it is not stopped, it will not be solved by sacrificing nine more people," Sikong's face was so gloomy that it made people feel that the world was about to be destroyed, "There were nine victims in the year of the first tragedy, and then nine victims in the first month of the next year." ”

"Nine, this is where Yan Ying's Nine Murders are involved?" Harden asked.

"That's right, it's just because of this, and there is no other evidence that can point to Yan Ying's nine murders. Carlos shrugged.

"Nine in the first month, what was the final number of deaths that year?" Harden was a little disdainful of such a hasty response.

Jean glanced at him, "Eighty-one." ”

"That's a lot!" Cedar was horrified, "it's a ......."

"Do you want to know how many died in the third year?" Sikong's eyebrows tightened, "729 people." ”

The children all seemed to gasp at the same time.

"It's ...... Vehicle?" Zhaohua couldn't help but speak, "How many times has the deceased happened in history?"

"12 times. He Yanfang said a shocking number.

"That's ......" Zhaohua calculated for a moment and looked up in shock, "Isn't that the slaughter of the city?"

"The law of the number of dead is that right, but half of them - that is, six times prevented the tragedy halfway, so the most sacrificed one is close to the fourth power of nine, 6,512 dead are confirmed and 33 are missing," He Yanfang said, "Last time, the Huakaiyuan incident was probably prevented relatively quickly, and nine people were confirmed dead, and there didn't seem to be any missing people - of course, the list of confirmed dead and our memory of this have been lost." ”

“...... So the current perception of the dead is that the tragedy initiated by Yan Ying's nine murderers, each deceased looking for nine substitute ghosts and accumulating killings layer by layer?" Harden tried to summarize.

"Yes. A deceased person needs nine substitutes, which is why it is called 'the deceased'. Carlos sighed.

"I have doubts," Dimi thought about speaking, "If it was the curse of Yan Ying's Nine Fierce Spirits, what was their reason for doing so? If they really wanted revenge, shouldn't they kill the upper echelons of the Academy? But the older generation like Shimo-Shirasawa Mingyin didn't die, did they?"

Indeed, this kind of revenge is too strange, and it is a vague goal to form a mechanism. Yueming was also skeptical.

Han Feng scratched his head: "Maybe he just wants to plunge the meridian courtyard into chaos, it doesn't matter who must die?

"Would the Demon King be so unruly?" Harden retorted disdainfully, "Suspicious." ”

"Hey, you don't have any evidence to say ......" Han Feng was annoyed.

"What Harden said is also what we considered, and considering the character of the Nine Fierces, it is really not straightforward to do so. ”

"But there is a long way to go among them...... No, isn't the ghost god boy? isn't he good at fine layout?" Han Feng almost bit his tongue.

"It is precisely because of this that it is strange that the ghost god boy is precisely a thoughtful Qi Strategist, and it is too hasty to let the dead kill freely at such a great effort. Carlos patted Jean on the shoulder, "Right?"

"Another reason, what if they want to be resurrected, accumulate human lives and evil spirits and then resurrect them," Ellie suddenly hypothetical, "so that it doesn't matter who the dead choose, the ending is absolutely favorable to the Nine Murderers, and that's enough." ”

"This is the opinion of the Nine Emperors, and it is also the mainstream view at the moment," Jean nodded, "Since the death of the Nine Murderers was in fact involuntary, it seems not surprising that they want to be resurrected." But there is one thing that the four of us are most puzzled about, and that is the key number of this 'curse', nine. ”

"If it's because of the nine murders, isn't that number a given?" Harden was puzzled.

"The number of extreme yangs," Ellie frowned, "Master told me so. ”

"That's right, nine is a symbol of the number of days, according to the yin and yang saying, the odd number is yang, the even number is yin, nine is the largest of the yang numbers, known as the 'extreme yang number', the Book of Changes mentions that it contains auspicious meaning. He Yanfang explained.

"In that case...... It should be difficult to create demons. Ellie pursed her lips.

"However, this has also become another point of fear for everyone, that is, if this can also form a curse, in turn, it means that the 'dead are different' is a rare and extremely murderous thing, unfortunately this is obviously more convincing in the face of tragedy. Jean exhaled.

"So the key is to prove that the real culprit of the tragedy is not the Nine Murderers, and the truth of the tragedy must be investigated, at least the Kaikai incident must be solved," Harden asked, "Anyway, break into the Huakai Hospital." ”

"No, you may not know about the situation in the Passage House, but I know it," Ellie vetoed flatly, "The Imperial Seal in charge of the 'Death Difference' has absolute authority, and if he decides, no one will stop him from being killed, and besides, there are so many seniors who are afraid of the curse, as long as they think that we will trigger the taboo and cause disaster, we will not be able to gain a foothold!"

"That's right, as we said, it's hard for us to get involved. He Yanfang's expression was a little gloomy.

"That's so, but this step can't be avoided, right?" Harden was not convinced, "It's just that I've been afraid of breaking the taboo to cause this situation, and I'm also 'sealed', so if the blockade continues, I'll wait for the thirteenth disaster to come!"

"The scourge must be stopped, and what is more terrible than fighting on the front lines is civil strife. The matter of Hanakaiin must be clarified, but we must carefully bypass the 'blockade faction' led by Lord Goho and investigate the shady ones who used legends to kill. Sikong gave him a resolute look.

"Guys who use legends to kill people...... "I think as long as you are human, you have more or less hatred or hatred for others." This should be taken for granted. ”

Even the gentle cedar once hated Kluet...... No, there was even a killing intent.

But after all, that's an unjustifiable, enemy on the battlefield. Cedar continued uncertainly, "But it should not be permissible to kill an enemy out of hatred...... No, the law absolutely does not allow it. ”

"In many cases, the hatred we have in our hearts will fade away with the passage of time, but when we are living in an environment where tragedy can happen from time to time, it is much easier to kill people. The law and discipline are relaxed, and evil thoughts are firmly rooted in the depths of people's hearts, and if they continue to live in trembling and panic for a long time, everyone will tend to go crazy because of the constant amplification of fear and suspicion in their hearts. ”

"I still can't believe it's so ......serious," Ivan sighed.

Sikong shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's just that what you said really doesn't have a real feeling." But in fact, those crazy murderers really deranged the whole city. Then, in order to stop the killing, everyone began to suspect their comrades, which eventually led to a riot. ”

As the atrocities spread and spread, the city eventually became a demonic realm—the evil spirits echoing the accumulated evil spirits, triggering a chain of endless deaths, like the Grim Reaper's Circle of Death......

"How...... That...... "How appalling...... Thinking like this, Cedar looked into the depths of the dense forest and couldn't help but shudder. The gloom that used to give people a sense of tranquility seems to have turned into a hidden darkness, and it can no longer make people settle.

"Master told me that as long as I stick to the law and righteousness, the world will eventually be corrected. If you are affected by the shadow of the curse and abandon your reason, you will only be destroyed by invisible evil thoughts, which is what the Demon King wants. Ellie patted Cedar's shoulder lightly, "You're also a member of the Academy, so you have to keep your sanity too." ”

But...... Wrong.

Cedar subconsciously looked at Harden, and he felt that the keen Harden should also be aware of something wrong.

But Harden doesn't seem to have any other doubts, and everyone seems to be too. At the moment, the only one who looked as confused as Cedar himself was the golden dragon Dimi, and the others were all in heavy thought.

Wrong...... Cedar felt that he was too stupid, otherwise he should have asked questions immediately, there was something wrong with this, something was wrong......

He Yanfang, who was in the lead, stopped, and slowly pointed to the opposite side of the shade: "There is the cliff, the dark cliff where the flower blossom courtyard is located." ”

The cedars looked carefully, and beyond the shadows of the trees was the black barren cliff, just above the knife-chiseled cliff, and the same black buildings showed lonely and dilapidated shadows, like disabled survivors whose faces had been burned by the fire, gloomy indictment of what they remembered.

A thick, heavy ominous and murderous intent was entrenched there, and Cedar somehow felt that it had become dark in front of him, and although the ruins were clearly close in front of him, his vision seemed to be blocked by the darkness in his heart, and he could barely see everyone's figures.

Ah, then he suddenly thought of a question-

No one knows when the "Death Difference" will happen, but why, why is everyone so convinced that everything is about to start as if they were drawn here by the darkness?

But he couldn't ask. The darkness finally grabbed him too, tempting him to break through the taboo......

Behind him, a small figure approached silently like a ghost, and its red eyes looked coldly at the ruins:

The wind and rain of **** induced the malice hidden in the heart, and the sin bloomed everywhere like a flower, leaving this ugly curse. Just as when a flower blooms, it lends its fruit, and the curse is imprinted on you...... You still have a chance to ...... before the bitter fruit comes to fruition again

"But the flowers are already blooming, and if you don't hurry up, you will fall into a spiral of despair, just like them did forty years ago, and you will not be able to turn a blind eye......

——·——

Preview: Like a hundred flowers stirred by spring, the sleeping drama is once again grandly unfolded, unable to contain or resist...... What is behind the legend, and how can the curse that imprinted on everyone's hearts be removed?
