"Since the day before yesterday, the Northern Qi Institute of Northern Qi Province began to report one after another, saying that the Yinshan area had discovered the evil demons that had ravaged the area of Yelu City forty years ago, and now they have begun to show signs of multiplication.

They were worried about the recurrence of the tragedy of that year, and after sending people to suppress it, they sent a request for help from our department, and we will discuss this matter now to see how harmful it is, and whether it is necessary to send a master to ......"

Zhong Gu of the Shuzheng Hall presided over the meeting, and the first thing to explain to everyone was the ins and outs of this matter.

"Forty years ago, not all of us here are involved, let's talk about the specific situation first.

First of all, the original demons were called shadow demons, which could prey on the shadow of people, and when they matured, they began to move freely away from their hosts, and at that time, they began to multiply and no longer rely on people to act.

At first, there were only three Shadow Demons brought out, but they multiplied to tens of millions in two months, devouring the entire population of the city, and even taking a radius of thousands of miles with them......

The shadow demon has the following characteristics, first, it can grab people's spiritual ideas and differentiate and reproduce, second, it has a certain growth and can speed up the speed of reproduction, and third, it has a habit similar to that of a beast, likes to move in groups, and is not afraid of fire, and is not afraid of swords.

However, they also have a fatal weakness, which is that they will kill each other if they do not eat in time for several days in a row, until the entire population is exhausted.

However, since they were always able to find a fresh population at the edge of their range of activities and continue to reproduce, no one noticed this at first, and it was not easy for our seniors to confirm it, which made the imperial court make up its mind to formulate a strategy to clear the wilderness, so as to exterminate ...... in one fell swoop."

Everyone listened attentively, and some even used a small pen to quickly record the characteristics of the demons on the spot.

Those are all people who chase after the wind and shadows, and these seemingly inconspicuous intelligence information at first glance are largely related to the lives of themselves and their subordinates.

As for the other ministers and senior officials of the department who do not have to go on assignments, they want to learn from the events of the past.

However, treacherous things are by no means static, the case has happened forty years ago, and no one can be sure that the source demon has obtained a new piece of the puzzle.

Therefore, these secret documents can only be used as a reference, and the specifics must be combined with the actual exploration in the local area to understand.

Sure enough, someone soon mentioned a suspicious point.

"This time, it seems that what the Northern Qi Institute reported is not a shadow demon, but a kind of clothed demon similar to clothes......"

"To be precise, it should be called a 'cloth demon'......"

At first, no one connected it with the Yinshan Demon Cave case forty years ago, but later I found out that the various characteristics of this kind of thing were highly consistent with the shadow demon, and I began to suspect that the two were actually caused by the same treachery.

And this also proves another guess, that is, the Yinshan Demon Cave case forty years ago has not really been solved, and what the imperial court has eliminated is only the shadow demons themselves who escaped, and the real source is still in the demon cave. ”

"Actually, I should have sent someone to go deep into the demon cave to solve it, but the strength of the aliens at that time was insufficient, and that thing was hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and it would not affect the outside world.

After the destruction of that Geshan Village, the harmfulness of that treacherous incident had actually been reduced back to the Hearsay level, and there was no need to care too much about it. ”

"That's right, the manpower and material resources of the imperial court are also limited, and there was really no way to ...... at the beginning."

Everyone whispered, and between the discussions, a helpless reality was revealed.

That is, the vast majority of treacherous incidents have not really been resolved.

It can even be said pessimistically that as long as the treachery is not extinguished, humanity will never be able to truly solve it.

It will always be nothing more than dismantling, sealing, and suppressing it......

Li Yu is a new upstart, he accompanies the last seat, listens more and talks less, and gradually understands the beginning and end of the matter.

He suddenly realized that this matter was really tricky.

Because the Northern Qi Dynasty is a large northern province, it is also an important place to guard the frontier of the Great Qian.

If that place is lost, the soldiers and horses originally stationed there may be affected, and the war will ensue, and the whole world will be in chaos.

Even if this factor is not taken into account, it is possible that this treacherous event itself can develop to the level of a catastrophe.

That's not the level of petty fighting in the fox bride case before.

dig out the hearts of the people who are negative and kill the guests who eat the banquet......

That was a terrifying disaster that could really devour the entire city along with the counties within a radius of thousands of miles and kill all ordinary people.

Maybe some aliens can survive this kind of disaster, but it is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Soon, the entire department fell into continuous attention to this matter, and even the cabinet and the military department successively sent secret letters to the Northern Qi Province, ordering the first time to investigate the truth of the incident and evaluate the level of harm.

At this time, Li Yu finally saw the ruling weapon that the Great Qian Dynasty relied on.

It was not a telegraph, telephone or anything like that developed by technology, nor was it a gallop and an eight-hundred-mile rush that existed in ancient times, but a set of strange treasures called microphones.

At the cost of hearing it often and making people deaf, it can cross tens of thousands of miles to make calls.

Some masters use the principle of sound resonance to transfer paper film to exempt its influence, which is equivalent to prostituting this set of strange treasures in vain.

Therefore, the communication between the provincial capitals and the holy capital of the Great Qian Dynasty has been very close, but when it reaches the prefectures and counties, it still has to travel for several days or even more than ten days through fast horses.

However, in the event of such a major and urgent event, there are corresponding treacherous treasures to pass on, and some cities that have had major treacherous events have even had special messengers in charge of contact.

For example, Yelu City, which was once devoured by demons, was specially guarded by envoys from the Division.

They immediately sent back the message that the department wanted to confirm.

Unfortunately, they confirmed that the scourge of the Cloth Demon was no worse than that of the Shadow Demon, because the civilized world of human beings is inseparable from the existence of cloth and clothing, and their characteristics happen to reproduce with cloth and clothing, as long as a large number of offspring are born, they will kill people everywhere.

The exact rules and reproduction speed are still unknown, but it doesn't seem to be slower than the previous Shadow Demons.

Immediately, the division made a decisive decision to send experts to support.

The second hall of Chasing Wind and Shadow was able to dispatch capable people, and rushed to Yelu City as soon as possible, hoping to solve the situation before it completely got out of control.
