CHAPTER XXXI
"Nujun, have you been trapped here by the Dragon King?"
"Yes, the Dragon King is afraid that I will affect his plans, so he has kept me here."
"The Dragon King's plan? What is the plan? β
"The things of those demons in the mortal world, he did it from the beginning, he wanted to take advantage of the division of the demons and destroy the demons."
"Then we must stop him, saving such ambition now, I don't know what he will do in the future, we have to tell the world that the world should not be saved like this and kept in the dark."
"yes, so, the most important thing now is to find a way to get out first."
Qi Lianxi and Qi Lianyan discussed countermeasures, the search and arrest of the demons was already extensive, and it was time for the show to begin.
That night, Qi Lianxi returned to the inn he left, and sure enough, Fifteen and Dongfang Chen should still be next door.
"Fifteen, let's be careful recently, the power of the demon clan cannot be underestimated after all, and now there are only two of us in Qingqiu here, in case there is no advantage in fighting."
"Well, it's just that we haven't made much progress now, Kuisan's people have been looking for Qi Lianxi, I heard that Kuisan has not only sent these people, but there are many on the way here, we have to find Qi Lianxi before him."
"It's just that now we can't be sure where Qi Lianxun is, and we have only seen his appearance in vague paintings, if we can't find a way to determine him, it will be much more convenient."
"Yes, this Qi Lianxun is really scheming, he doesn't even have a portrait, it's just a vague painting drawn by some demon people."
"It's not easy to be so young, such a city. So, we have to be more careful, okay, you rest early, I'll keep a little late today. β
"Okay, Dongfang, don't be too tired."
"Yes, I know."
Qi Lianxun listened to their conversation next door, "Heh, be careful of me? Thinking too much, how can I harm you? You guys are still very useful to me. β
The next day, in the city, a group of people were noisily watching a corpse, a corpse that had been pierced through the heart by a demon sword.
"Murder! The demons have killed someone! The demons have killed someone! β
"Didn't the demons say that they wouldn't hurt the people in the city? How did you kill someone? Fail to keep the faith! β
"It's like, we've got to get them out, they can't be here."
"Yes, we can't be a knife on a people's board and let others slaughter us."
"Yes, protest! We will resist and drive them away! β
"Chase away the demons! Chase away the demons! Chase away the demons! β
In the distance, a man dressed in black, looking at the angry appearance of the crowd, good, that's it.
"Fifteen, I heard that the demons killed someone."
"Demon killing? What's the situation? β
"In the city today, there are more corpses, which were killed by a demon sword."
"Demons, what does it mean to kill people at this time?"
"I don't know, shall we see?"
"Well, let's go."
Fifteen and Dongfang Chen came to the city and saw the body that had been stabbed to death, and the murder weapon was indeed the sword of the demon clan. At this time, the crowd in the city had almost gathered, and everyone carried the corpses and protested along the streets, demanding that the demons withdraw from Nanzhen.
"The demons have withdrawn from South Town! The demons quit Nanzhen! β
In front of the city gate, the guards of the demon clan blocked the way, "Don't go forward, we will be welcome if we go any further!" β
"You're welcome? You've all killed people, what kind of politeness will you say? β
"This person, we still have to investigate clearly, we can't assume that we killed just because of a sword, right?"
"Who else could it be that you didn't kill? He has never harmed people, and he has no enemies, I remember searching for people a few days ago, and I quarreled with him, it must be you! β
"If you haven't done something bad, you won't be harmed? You are too naΓ―ve, although we quarreled with him, but we are just mortals, we don't pay attention to it at all, maybe this is killed by Qi Lianxun, and the blame is on us. β
"Blame? I think you're the only one to blame, right? I've heard that many things outside were not actually done by Qi Lianxun, they were all blamed, and there are many things you did. β
"This ......"
"Nothing to say, right? Admit it, right? Get out of South Town! β
"yes, get out of Southtown! Get out of South Town! β
"Calm down, listen to me, give us some time, if the investigation finds out that it was our people who did it, we will definitely leave."
"You must be shielding criminals, people who believe in you demons? Can you believe it? β
"We promise that we will not cover it up, and in three days, we will definitely find out the murderer."
"If you can't find ......"
"If we can't find it, we'll leave Southtown."
"This ...... Well, I will believe you for the last time. β
"In the world, isn't it important to be safe in the earth? We did the funeral for this man. β
"Not necessarily! We'll do it ourselves, don't worry about you, just get out of Southtown. β
When the crowd had dispersed, one of the guards asked the leader, "Chief, why did you promise them?" β
"The big army is on the way here, this is just a delaying tactic, and when they come, we don't have to be afraid of the people here. Now, we can't be too presumptuous when we search for people here, if you annoy them, you know that one ant can't beat an elephant, but if it's thousands of ants, this elephant can't do anything. β
"The subordinates understand, LinkedIn."
"Okay, but it should still be checked, and I ordered to go down and check every guard to see whose sword is missing."
"Yes."
Fifteen and Dongfang Chen returned to the inn, "Fifteen, what do you think about this matter?" β
"I don't know, I don't have any ideas, what do you think?"
"I," Dongfang Chen shook his head, "I always feel that there will be a conspiracy in this matter, but there is no evidence, fifteen, we have to be more careful, don't investigate separately recently, let's go together." β
"I, it's okay, I'll be careful, it'll be faster to investigate separately."
Dongfang Chen suddenly grabbed Fifteen's hand, "Obedient, I'm ...... Worried about you. β
Fifteen looked at Dongfang Chen, saw the seriousness in his eyes, couldn't help blushing and avoided his eyes, and said, "I, I understand." β
Seeing that Fifteen agreed, Dongfang Chen was relieved, and only after realizing that he was still holding Fifteen's hand, he immediately let go.
"Rest early, if something like this happens, the investigation will be more troublesome tomorrow."
"yes, I see."
The conversation between the two of them all entered Qi Lianxun's ears, "It's right if you don't know, I'm going to surprise you." "In the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, a demon scabbard was placed under the bed of fifteen.
"Murder! The demons are killing again! β
In the early morning, everyone was woken up by this panicked shout, and there was a mess again. This time, the one who was killed was also a quiet person in the city, who also had no enemies and did not do bad things, and was also stabbed to death by a sword, but he couldn't find a connection with the person before, and what he was holding in the hands of the corpse was a rag shirt of the demon clan.
"Demons! It's demons again! β
"I said that it was three days, but it turned out that someone died again today, and the demons got out of Nanzhen!"
"yes, you have to get out of Southtown!"
"Chief, this ......"
"Listen to me, I think someone must have maliciously framed me, we are still investigating internally, and we will definitely give you an explanation."
"Confess? For your confession, we have dead people, this confession, don't do it, you get out of Nanzhen! β
"Get out of Southtown!"
"Calm down, I believe that no one wants to cause trouble, and we are the same, there are two days left, and we will definitely give you results."
"No, you don't! It's enough for you guys to get out of Southtown! β
"It's impossible for you to let us go before we have investigated it yet. Besides, I think you're mistaken, you're weak, can you beat us? β
"You, threatening us?"
"It can't be called a threat, it's just that we need time to investigate, that's all."
"Okay, then two days, if you don't understand the investigation, you will leave."
"Okay."
The crowd dispersed, and Fifteen and Dongfang Chen also got the news, but now it is still inconvenient for them to interfere, and they just do their own thing.
"Another one died, Dongfang, what plan do you think this would be?"
"I don't know, fifteen, don't go out, I'll investigate alone."
"I'm from Qingqiu, what are you afraid of with spells?"
"I think it should be Qi Lianxun, think about it, the guard of the demon clan was killed with one palm, which proves that his skill is not shallow, besides, how can a demon lord's skill be low. Now the people of the city have been killed, or is it an unrelated person, his nature is so brutal, I don't know what his plan is, fifteen, you can't take any more risks. β
"Dongfang, I'll be with you."
"......"
"Don't do it anymore, it's your duty to protect Qingqiu, but as the princess of Qingqiu, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Dongfang, I have never been afraid, I know the responsibility I have and what I should do. β
In the past, Dongfang Chen only felt that Fifteen was a gentle and kind woman, and he just wanted to protect her, but now, what made Dongfang Chen's eyes shine was this firmness.
"Okay, let's do it together."
Qi Lianxi and Qi Lianyan have been separated since the discussion in the west of the city, and now, Qi Lianyan has left the city and is on the way back to Canglan. But fortunately, he left this time to find a way to get in touch, and he also knew what had happened in Nanzhen in the past two days.
On the third day, which was also the last day of the investigation agreed between the demons and the people, another person died in the city. Everything is the same, but, according to the trajectory, from the city to the east of the city, all the way points to the inn, the inn where Fifteen and Dongfang Chen lived.
"Fifteen, I have a bad premonition, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Do you think that the spearhead of this matter is coming to us?"
"You found out too?"
"Well, the people of these few times, judging from the trajectory of the scene, pointed directly at us. This time, even more, it was directly at the door of our inn. It seems that our identities should have been discovered. β
"Well, it's just, how did he find out?"
"I don't know, but, we can't live here anymore."
"Let's pack up and go."
"Okay."
Fifteen and Dongfang Chen were just about to leave, the door of the room was pushed open, it was a person from the demon clan.
"If you kill someone, you want to leave?"
"What do you mean?"
"We investigated all the way, and the trajectory of this dead man pointed directly to this inn, and in this inn, only you are strange, and some people say that you are indeed investigating in this city, who else can you be?"
"That's us, it's too decisive, how can you prove that it's not your demons who framed us in order to get rid of it?"
"We'll investigate ourselves, come on, search!"
"Yes."
"The two of you are calm, if you are above board, what are you afraid of?"
"You search for it, we haven't done anything, and I'm not afraid that you will frame you."
"Chief, found under the bed." A small guard handed over a scabbard, the scabbard of the demons.
"How do you explain it?"
