Chapter 191: Li Yu's Way
"Lord Li, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to do, because we have also met those cloth demons before, and found that they are almost identical in appearance, and it is difficult to distinguish which ones are the progeny that have been bred and which are the original sources based on their external characteristics.
And as far as we know, both the source cloth demon and the progeny that have been bred have the ability to reproduce, even if we can really solve the original source, I'm afraid it's useless. ”
Speaking of the treacherous cases he is good at, Zhong Cheng has once again become organized.
He had obviously also accessed the secret file forty years ago, because this incident happened in Yelu City, and the local hundred households had kept a file, and the officials of the Demon Suppression Division stationed here had carefully studied it long before the case occurred.
"You mean, not only have they inherited the characteristics of those shadow demons from forty years ago, but they have even eliminated the weakness of needing to eat, making them more difficult to deal with?"
"Yes, they don't need to eat anymore, they can reproduce on their clothes and other things.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the range of autonomous action of those cloth demons is not far away, as long as no one deliberately attracts them, they will not be dragged to other places. ”
"Then how did the original cloth demon get into the city?"
Li Yu asked him a question meaningfully.
"This ......" Zhong Cheng was a little frightened and fell silent.
He had apparently thought about it too, but it was too desperate to even delve into it.
"Okay, you don't have to think about this matter too much, I'll find a way to verify it."
Seeing him like this, Li Yu also knew that the other party didn't have any good solutions, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Only treachery can fight treachery, and if there are things that are difficult to solve by mundane methods, then you might as well change your thinking and consider something else.
We are inhumans, although most of the time we still have to stick to the human heart and bottom line, but sometimes, we really can't do without these inhuman powers.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen the details of those cloth demons with my own eyes, and now that the hidden dangers in the city have been dealt with, it's time to go in and take a look.
From now on, I'll try to figure it out in my own way. ”
……
In Zhong Cheng's astonishment, Li Yu rejected the proposal to send some additional helpers to escort him into the blockade area, and came to the street in the west of the city alone.
In fact, he said it mysteriously, and the specific method was just to use his own peep eyes to take a look at those cloth demons in person.
Only by understanding those demons can we deal with them better.
At this point, his voyeuristic eye is extremely advantageous, and he doesn't need to use it in vain.
At this time, the city was brightly lit in the areas that had not yet been affected by the demons, and although there was a curfew, each household lit lanterns and bonfires on the streets, ready to deal with the night attack of evil spirits.
However, on the west side of the city, it was dark and blind, like a ghost town.
Many of the population had already fled, and those who could not escape were killed by the demons in their place.
The city has limited troops, and except for one street that has been cleared as a separation zone, the rest of the city is basically still in its original appearance.
In desperation, the house was set on fire, and the fire spread everywhere, creating a large area of ruin.
More often than not, men, women, and children died in the streets, their clothes falling off and turning into monsters, chasing other living people.
Because it has been many days since the incident, the corpses that have not yet had time to be disposed of have even begun to rot and stink.
This adds a bit of horror to the deserted streets.
Li Yu held the torch and walked slowly on the dimly lit street, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel creepy.
Although he has become an alien, his body and spirit are constantly affected by the power of treachery, and he has gradually become different from the past, but the feeling of rejection that arises spontaneously after seeing this corpse of the same kind is still engraved in his heart like instinct.
But in comparison, he was still more confused at the moment.
"Where are those cloth demons?"
It stands to reason that they should be wandering around.
If there is a cloth demon nearby, even if he hides in the dark and does not find it in time, he will automatically pounce out and want to strangle him, a big living person.
They can't have the patience to hide and take a closer look and judge the strength of their opponents.
The only demon he had seen with wisdom so far was Emperor Delon, and that was the exception of the exceptions.
In the past, Li Yu may still feel a little restrained and helpless, but after the night of recovery, his peeping magic eye has also been greatly strengthened, in addition to being able to close to free control of opening and closing, that ability to glimpse the treacherous aura has also brought more convenience.
Since he couldn't discover the body of those cloth demons for the time being, he simply cast his attention on the ground.
Sure enough, in the field of vision that the True Dharma Eye saw, some mixed breaths like smoke were entangled.
They are like long dragons in the dark shadows, and like thousands of long strands of hair, as if with a strange attraction, luring people all the way forward.
Li Yu didn't see any handwriting on it, but there was a faint white light emerging on its surface, like a light in the darkness, guiding its way.
Following such a treacherous trace, Li Yu passed through one street after another, and finally came to a large cloth village in the west of the city.
"Is this a fish that slipped through the net?"
Although he hadn't been here for a long time, after hearing the report from Zhong Cheng and the others, he probably guessed that it was impossible for the other party to control all the cloth houses and dyeing workshops in the city in such a short period of time.
It's just that people are a little unexpected, those cloth demons will actually carry out such an abnormal gathering in the dead of night.
Before he walked inside, Li Yu felt a thick and treacherous aura coming from one after another.
Suddenly, more than a dozen fluttering figures appeared in front of him.
It was a hollow body, like a garment worn by an invisible monster, and it looked like a cloth coat from an ordinary person's house, followed by a group of pants, crotch, and even bed sheets and pillowcases.
The handwriting condensed by the pale firelight was visible on it.
Demon (Cloth Demon)
"An artificial fabric that has the power to reproduce due to the power of treacherous power"
"The Cloth Demon has the characteristic of infinite reproduction"
"The cloth demon is afraid of fire, afraid of swords, and will lose its treacherous power due to the tearing of the carrier."
"The cloth demon feeds on 'value' and needs to absorb the power of 'value'."
"The brighter the color of the cloth, the more complex the pattern, the higher the grade and value in the human world, and the more powerful the transformed cloth demon will be."
"The cloth demon tends to reproduce at a higher value, and will not actively chase cheap cloth"
