……

"It's an honor for the Lord of the Demon Slayer to come to the Humble House."

Xu Mu knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted the red robe in front of him very solemnly.

The three words of Demon Exterminator are too heavy in today's chaotic world.

After the apocalypse, the civilization of the West Asian continent was destroyed by a fire, and the Tis continent disappeared subsequently, and chaos arose on the eastern continent until the woodcutter awakened his ability, and the human race had the capital to survive.

Ability is a must for the survival of the entire human race, and the continent is divided into four major regions, namely the Hundred Clans Alliance, the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Golden Horde Court, and the power of the woman in front of her is the most powerful one among the Inhuman forces in the Great Xia Dynasty and even the whole continent.

Because the founder of the Demon Slayer Division is the first woodcutter to awaken the ability, and now, he is already the number one legend on the list of the continent, and the Demon Slayer Division stationed in their Treacherous Night Domain is only a branch.

Thinking about this, Xu Mu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, could it be that the strong man of the Demon Exterminator Division discovered the secret of his body, so he sent someone to arrest him for research?

......

Of course, things are not as Xu Mu thinks.

Looking at Xu Mu, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Yin Shui'er's eyes slowly showed a little coldness.

In the early hours of this morning, an urgent report came that Xiaokang Village had been invaded by strange ghosts, and none of the 51 households in the village were spared.

After a brief investigation, they deduced that the first target of those strange ghosts should have been Fengqing Village.

But why did Xiaokang Village suffer a disaster, but Fengqing Village had nothing?

"Get up."

"Master Xie." , Xu Mu got up and looked at Yin Shui'er.

"What happened here last night?" , Yin Shui'er asked.

However, Xu Mu himself didn't know what had happened, because that memory didn't belong to him, so he had to cough lightly in embarrassment:

"Back to my lord, after the strange ghost came last night, I drove him away, and then I went home."

Speaking of this, Xu Mu tiptoed to add:

"Any questions?"

"What's the problem...... Why! ”

Yin Shui'er stretched her hands out of her sleeve robe, and repeated Xu Mu's words with strange eyes.

The stranger came and was driven away?

That's enough to slaughter a group of alien ghosts at the level of a village, and she may not be able to solve them, what is the problem with me?

"Of course there's a big problem!" Yin Shui'er had anger in her eyes, stretched out her hand and pointed at Xu Mu and shouted:

"Do you know how many people were killed by the strange ghost last night!"

"One." , Xu Mu thought she was talking about Wu Kui, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes: "It's my dereliction of duty, and I'm willing to accept punishment." ”

Yin Shui'er looked at Xu Mu, who was drooping his head in front of him, and was about to continue to question, but he froze instantly.

One? If you really just died, you can use the governor of the night realm to personally name her to come over to investigate the case?

Yin Shui'er re-observed Xu Mu seriously from top to bottom.

I saw that the young man's eyes were sad, his tone was sincere, ordinary people can't be ordinary, it doesn't look like he's deceiving people.

"Does it really have nothing to do with him?"

Yin Shui'er was a little incredulous, she really didn't expect that this night watchman in Fengqing Village didn't know.

Such a big thing, the entire well-off village is gone, how can you not know anything!

"You really don't know?" , Yin Shui'er asked unrelentingly.

Xu Mu was also stunned for a moment, and then raised his head:

"Isn't that what your lord is asking?"

Yin Shui'er shook her head and sighed deeply, only to see her take a step back, spread out her palms, and the water droplets rose with a pale white mist, and a water mirror was conjured between the two of them out of thin air:

"Last night, the well-off village next door to you was invaded by strange ghosts, and all 56 households in the village died tragically, and no one was spared."

The water mirror played the tragic situation in the well-off village, Xu Mu was excited, and then the whole person froze in place.

In the mirror, the village is reflected in the early morning, there is no cooking smoke, the dirt road is densely covered with corpses, livestock and people, the dead are incomplete, the stumps are everywhere, the blood of the villagers is mixed with the rain last night, extremely muddy, and on both sides of the village road are some pine trees that have been broken by the great force, smashed into the yards of each family.

"This ...... It's true? ”

After a while, the water realm closed, Xu Mu came back to his senses in a trance, a little incredulous, Yin Shui'er nodded:

"Well, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."

"So, do you now know why I'm coming to you?"

Yin Shui'er hid her right hand in her sleeve robe, and stared at Xu Mu fiercely:

"According to the intelligence, these strange ghosts did not go directly to Xiaokang Village, but first went to Fengqing Village, which is ten miles away from it."

The hairs on Xu Mu's body stood up, he felt cold, and instinctively felt a trace of murderous intent.

And in the next second, a dagger was across his neck, and Yin Shui'er had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth:

"So, how did you survive when you were so weak?"

......

"My lord, if you have something to say, Brother Xu is definitely not a bad person!" Seeing this scene, Zhao Dayong at the gate of the courtyard suddenly knelt down and kowtowed and shouted.

Xu Mu also looked at the blade stuck in his neck with some helplessness.

The night watchman of Xiaokang Village, he knows, is not weak, although he is not as strong as himself, but he will not be slaughtered silently.

And Fengqing Village was safe and sound last night, and it must have been that guy who used his body to do something terrible later.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Yin Shui'er saw that the young man didn't open his mouth to beg for mercy, and even the panic in his eyes flashed, and he didn't seem to care about death, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Xu Mu shook his head, slowly raised his hand, and pressed the blade in front of him:

"I'm afraid it's useless."

"I don't feel like you're going to kill me, come in and talk about it."

"Yes, yes, little Brother Xu, you have to entertain the adults well." , Zhao Dayong smiled on the side.

Xu Mu turned his head and walked into the room, then pulled out a wooden chair with ashes from the corner and pushed it towards Yin Shui'er:

"Please take a seat, I'm not a frequent guest, don't dislike it."

"No need to be polite."

Yin Shui'er waved her hand and left the chair with great disgust.

"Tables, chairs, benches, coal stoves, stoves, very ordinary furnishings, except for some fragrance, there is no character."

"Hmm...... The scent? ”

Yin Shui'er observed Xu Mu's house, and then found the sachet hanging in the window.

She took the sachet off and held it in her hand, sniffed it carefully, and then her eyes became extremely strange, as if she had seen a new species:

"This is a very popular Luanwei flower sachet in the capital, and some young people who are good at Longyang will take the initiative to make it and give it to their sweethearts."

"If the recipient uses it, it means that he has accepted the other person's courtship."

Yin Shui'er's eyes were weird, she had already investigated Xu Mu's information before she came, but it didn't say on the file that he actually liked men!

Then, Yin Shui'er carefully looked the young man up and down:

"At first sight, I thought it was mediocre, but now it seems that you have red lips and white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows, but you really have a bit of a posture."

......

"Forehead, no, listen to me!"

Xu Mu was so anxious that he stumbled, his hands and head swaying wildly, as if he was greatly frightened. This sachet was given to him by Zhao Dayong before, saying that he picked it up from the road, but now he thinks about it carefully......

The picture is so beautiful that Xu Mu's eyes can't be opened.

"Aha......", Yin Shui'er leaned her hand on the head of Xu Mu's bed, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled:

"Funny to you, how can you be so stupid."

Yin Shui'er looked at Xu Mu with a smile, judging from the simple exchange, the young man's reaction was normal, not like a suspect, but too funny.

"Huh...... Hehe. ”

Three black lines appeared in Xu Mu's head, and he straightened up very speechlessly:

"A woman's heart is like a needle under the sea, Charles will not deceive me."

"Who is Charles?" , Yin Shui'er stared at the bluestone slab at the bottom of her feet and asked casually.

"A friend with a not-so-good brain." , Xu Mu said lightly.

"The most perfect robot in the world." , Charles floated out of Xu Mu's body and replied in the same way.

"Host, be honest, I strongly suggest you answer her again."

Charles accused Xu Mu in a serious tone, because what he said, Yin Shui'er couldn't hear.

And Xu Mu glanced at Charles with a little disdain:

"Indeed, I said that there is a problem, you are not in a bad brain, but you have no brains at all."

......

"Oh." , Yin Shui'er's eyes were sharp, she didn't care who Charles was, and she talked to Xu Mu in order to let him relax his vigilance.

Before leaving, it thought that Xu Mu was very suspicious, and now she had to see if there were any secret passages or anything like that in this house.

And she finished reading it elsewhere, and now only Xu Mu was left to sit.

"What's under your ass?"

Hearing this, Xu Mu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show anything on the surface, and his old face turned red at the moment:

"What are you going to do?"

Yin Shui'er saw Xu Mu's twisted but expectant eyes, and goosebumps instantly filled her body:

"What kind of expression do you have!"

Xu Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva dryly, and then lowered his head in a pretended twist.

Seeing this, Yin Shui'er was quite crazy, she didn't know how things could have evolved like this, it was inexplicable!

Suddenly, Yin Shui'er seemed to think of something, and stretched out two slender fingers with a subtle expression.

I saw her on the top of the hot teacup, and with a slight pinch, a crystal clear water droplet condensed.

Xu Mu looked at the movement of the other party's hand, and suddenly felt his head grow.

"It turns out that the sachet is to cover up the smell of blood, don't you want to explain?"

Yin Shui'er stared at Xu Mu, with an infiltrating smile on her beautiful face.

The water droplets in her hands seem to be clear, but they are not pure, and if you look closely, you will find that there is a faint blood mist in them.

That's what the Adepts are capable of! Xu Mu stubbornly walked to the corner of the room:

"Explanation...... I really don't know where to start, but last night's strange ghost was a little weird. ”

Xu Mu bent down, lifted the big red lantern and bronze ancient bell, glanced left and right, and then said with a wry smile:

"Maybe I have some talent, I use these two things very easily."

"That's it, are you stupid to me?"

Yin Shui'er sneered, she was very familiar with these two magic weapons, because this was exactly what their Demon Slayer Division was responsible for refining and then distributing to the night watchmen in each village.

This thing is very useful, but if it is used in the hands of ordinary people, it will not be one in ten, and it can only drive away simple strange ghosts.

"With the exorcism given to the night watchman by the government, you can drive away the hordes of strange ghosts that are enough to slaughter the village?"

Xu Mu nodded, and said with a hum voice: "It's very strange to say, but the strange ghost last night was a little crazier than before, but it definitely didn't reach the point of slaughtering the village." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the door, which was the location of the water curtain, and the tragic scene of the well-off village was still vivid.

"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!"

Yin Shui'er laughed angrily, she never expected to hear such an answer in Xu Mu's mouth, according to the procedure, it seems that she should use means to interrogate the young man in front of her.

But she didn't want to do that, violent law enforcement is not her style.

Yin Shui'er frowned, and after thinking for a while, her eyes lit up, and she saw her raise her delicate chin:

"Take a look."

Xu Mu was stunned: "What? ”

Yin Shui'er squinted her eyes and pointed at Xu Mu to use the lantern and copper bell, with awe-inspiring killing intent:

"Didn't you say you had some talent, then let me see how far you can go with this thing."

......

"Come on, show!"

Charles rushed to the roof of the shed with his teeth and claws, flying around Yin Shui'er's head, very excited.

He was so curious about the world's supernatural beings that he dreamed of fighting them.

"If you want me to be beaten, just say it, don't beat around the bush, this is a stranger!"

Xu Mu was speechless, rejected Charles fiercely, and then looked at Yin Shui'er weakly:

"I'm still not ugly."

"The key lies in the well-off village, not me."

Yin Shui'er didn't answer, inexplicably felt that there was wind above her head, and glanced up, but she didn't find anything.

"Maybe my lord, there should be a better way to investigate this case, if there is anything that can be done, I will definitely cooperate!"

Xu Mu saw that Yin Shui'er seemed to be a little hesitant, and hurriedly added.

What he said was from his heart, because the reason why Wu Kui was infected is not clear, there must be someone behind this, and if the Demon Eradication Division wants to investigate this case, it will undoubtedly be a very big help to him.

Yin Shui'er frowned, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Xu Mu is right, the key is not how strong he is, as a night watchman of the Qin faction of the imperial court, he has no reason to do that kind of thing.

It's just why is Fengqing Village okay?

Yin Shui'er couldn't figure it out, so she had to stand there and stare at Xu Mu, and Xu Mu couldn't guess the mind of the demon slayer on the other side, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to be silent with each other.

The atmosphere freezes.

......

After a while, Yin Shui'er recovered to bounce the scarlet water droplets, turned around with a smile, and said with emotion:

"The watchman sees a lot of life and death at night, and it is normal for there to be blood in the house."

"It's just that the smell of this sachet is really bad, and the good thing about Longyang is also true, don't put it next time."

"Oh." , Xu Mu replied, and then asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Why don't you stay here?" Yin Shui'er crossed the threshold, and then stopped suddenly, looking at Xu Mu who was standing in place in surprise, "What are you looking at, don't you hurry up and keep up!" ”

Xu Mu stood in place and scratched his head: "Keep up...... What for? ”

"Nonsense, of course it's an investigation!" , Yin Shui'er looked serious, "Since the strange ghost came here first last night, it will definitely leave some clues." ”

"The terrain of Fengqing Village is complicated, you are familiar with this place, so hurry up for me!"

......

"Tsk, it's not shallow."

Charles teased faintly beside Xu Mu'er, and then laughed out loud, so that it was not deafening.

Xu Mu didn't have time to think, so he hurriedly followed Yin Shui'er's footsteps, and at the same time replied angrily:

"What Yanfu, this is a trap."

"That's what you taught me, but don't forget the wise words of the great man on the Blue Star."

"Pretty women, it's all dangerous!"

......
