"Childe, have you forgotten that this is the Imperial City! Our demon clan is not impatient, how dare we act recklessly in the Imperial City!"

When Xue Rong heard this, she suddenly slapped Nian Fan Dao angrily.

"In fact, during this time, our fellow demon clans who were hiding in the imperial city were all walking on thin ice, and they were afraid that they would accidentally expose themselves due to this incident. ”

"I'm just talking about it, so why get so excited. ”

Nian Fan pouted.

"If this matter was not done by your demon clan, who would have the audacity to do such a thing at this juncture. ”

Nian Fan is quite a smart person.

It's just that his intelligence is often hidden beneath the surface of bohemianism.

Come to the Imperial City these days.

In addition to investigating the whereabouts of his cheap daddy.

The rest of the time, he had a general understanding of the basic situation of the Imperial City and the Yuding Dynasty.

The Jade Ding Dynasty will have a big war with demons in the future.

And this big war is all about the fate of each other.

Long before coming to the Yuding Dynasty, Nian Fan already knew about this matter.

Or rather.

Anyone who has insight knows it.

Especially with the sudden and mysterious death of the crown prince of the current emperor, everyone knows that the death of the prince is definitely not as simple as it seems.

And the culprit behind the death of the crown prince is likely to be the demon.

This may just be the beginning.

With the great war coming.

The secret confrontation between each other will become more and more intense.

Now that such strange things have happened frequently in the imperial city, it is difficult not to suspect the head of the demon.

Although Xue Rong said that this incident may not have been done by her own compatriots.

The question is, will Nian Fan believe it?

Nian Fan didn't care if Xue Rong was lying.

After all, there are some things she may not be aware of.

Boom Boom –

"It's dry, be careful of the candle ......"

Late at night.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and the shouts of watchmen came from the deserted streets.

Nian Fan, who was lying on the soft bed and hugging Xue Rong's wonderful carcass, suddenly opened his eyes in the dark.

"What's wrong with Childe?"

Xue Rong, who was lying in Nian Fan's arms, seemed to have a sense, and subconsciously murmured in a daze.

"It's nothing, let's go back to sleep, just let the husband wake up. ”

Nian Fan yawned lazily, and his face did not show any abnormality.

After speaking.

He hugged Xue Rong and fell asleep.

Woke up the next day.

Nian Fan dressed as usual and continued to leave the Red Sleeves Building on the grounds of investigating the cheap daddy.

And yet—

After leaving the Red Sleeve Building, he returned to an inn and instructed Huang Dafa to do something immediately.

"Childe, you brought all the small things you wanted. ”

Less than half a day's work.

Huang Dafa completed what Nian Fan explained.

Because what Nian Fan ordered was indeed a trivial matter in Huang Dafa's opinion.

"All right! ”

After seeing what Huang Dafa brought, Nian Fan directly waved Huang Dafa away.

Huang Dafa didn't say anything, and turned around and retired without hesitation.

When Nian Fan was the only one left in the room.

He immediately spread out something that Huang Dafa had brought in front of the table.

Map of the Imperial City.

Subsequently.

He picked up a pen and kept marking the corners of the map.

If someone from the Imperial City Division or the Demon Town Division is present.

They can see at a glance what these marks mean.

It's nothing more than that the locations of these markers are the locations of the bizarre suicide cases.

When Nian Fan had marked all the current locations of the incident, he picked up another thing that Huang Dafa had brought.

A roster.

And this roster records the information of all the watchmen in the imperial city.

When he carefully flipped through the roster, he would mark someone's name from time to time.

Wait until you have flipped through the roster.

He put all the pictures on the table and the roster in his hand into the storage ring, and left the room.

After nightfall.

Nian Fan did not stay in the Red Sleeve Building, nor did he return to an inn, but appeared in an inconspicuous square in the imperial city.

He leaned against his hands in the shadow of an attic, as if he was closing his eyes.

There was no movement for a long time.

Boom Boom –

"It's dry, be careful of the candle ......"

I don't know how long it took.

A faint light appeared on the dark and deserted street, and the crisp sound of gongs and shouts of watchmen could be heard.

In the shadow of the attic, Nian Fan slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time calmly looked at the watchman in the distance.

One shift followed another.

Nian Fan was always indifferent.

Until the third shift.

Nian Fan in the shadows gradually hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Is this the truth?"

Under Nianfan's secret gaze.

The watchmen in the streets and alleys did their jobs without realizing it.

Soon after the watchman returned to his resting place after completing a tour of the area he was responsible for.

All of a sudden.

The doors in the alleys of Lifang opened one by one.

I saw a figure appear on the street and walk slowly, as if they were attracted by something, and they kept converging in one direction.

throughout the process.

None of the figures made a sound.

When everyone gathers in an overgrown clearing.

The next moment.

These people all took out all kinds of sharp weapons and stabbed them in the heart without hesitation.

These people are ordinary people.

There is absolutely no chance of surviving after the heart is punctured by a sharp weapon.

Suddenly.

Countless corpses lay in pools of blood.

"Is it deprived?"

Meanwhile.

Nian Fan didn't know when he appeared in a room with a candle flame.

And the pillars of the house were tied to a man.

A young man with a numb expression and a glazed gaze.

If it weren't for Nian Fan tying up the other party just now.

I'm afraid that this man has committed suicide in that overgrown clearing like everyone else.

When the people gathered in the clearing committed suicide.

The young man, who had been tied to the pillar of the room and had not moved, suddenly struggled wildly, but soon he regained his composure, and became numb and sluggish again, like a walking corpse.

Nian Fan carefully checked it.

It was found.

The young man was completely sane.

Like a puppet, his every move is manipulated by unknown and mysterious means.

Let's be honest.

Deprivation of sanity is just a petty trick that is not worth mentioning.

Anyone who has a little bit of cultivation can easily deprive an ordinary person of his sanity.

It's just such a little trick that makes the Demon Suppression Division anxious.

The reason is simple.

The way the culprits behind the scenes manipulate the minds of these ordinary people is too hidden.

If it weren't for Nianfan, he had a flash of inspiration at that time.

I'm afraid he didn't expect that the culprit behind the scenes would use the sound of the gong to quietly deprive and control these people's sanity.

However, Nian Fan always had a question.

What is the purpose of the culprit behind the scenes?
