The town guard mansion is like a castle in the shape of a "hui".

The council chamber is located in the middle of the word "hui", and around it, there are a circle of mansions inside and out.

These houses are the residences of the demon slayers who guard the town, as well as the cooks and handymen who take care of their food.

Single person in a single courtyard.

There is plenty of private space for them to meditate and practice at their leisure.

If you are a demon slayer with a family, you can also take your wife and children here to live.

But most demon slayers don't choose to let their families come.

They have their own clan homes.

Demon slaying is just a livelihood to support the family, and the money and bounty will be used to subsidize the family.

Many demon slayers with savings will buy land in the city they are guarding and settle down.

Therefore, unless it is particularly busy and has a lot of tasks, you can only stay in the town guard mansion.

Otherwise, as long as they don't need to be on duty, they will go back to their homes at night.

Like Sun Lan and Kan Xingming, both natives of Sioux City, they went home to rest at night.

And a lonely person like Niu Yuanping can only live in the courtyard of the town guard's mansion.

His house was located in the southwest corner of the town's mansion, near the dining hall where the cooks cooked.

After walking out of the council hall, Niu Yuanping returned to his house.

However.

Although the night was late, he could not sleep.

Lying on the bed, silently staring at the ceiling, thinking about the conversation between Hong Bingzhong and himself in the conference hall just now.

I began to have a lot of thoughts in my heart.

He could clearly feel that the inquiry was not as simple as it seemed......

Hong Bingzhong's words seemed to be guiding, hinting at something.

Although it was just a suspicion, it gave Niu Yuanping the feeling that it had been determined that Zhu Yushun was a demon!

This made Niu Yuanping a little unconfident.

Could it be that the superbrain system and cow tears are wrong?

A demon that can hide from the detection of the superbrain system and the eyes of cow tears really exists?

It's a little unlikely, right......

If there really is such a demon, how should the demon slayers deal with it?

Do we all have to be suspicious of each other as we are now?

That's a bit too passive, isn't it?

If that's really the case...... The work of slaying demons is really not easy to do......

Niu Yuanping's eyes rolled around, thinking about various possibilities.

It's a pity that the superbrain system is being upgraded and sleeping, otherwise, you can also let it help analyze it.

I thought about it for a long time.

Suddenly.

Another thought flashed through my head!

Could it be that there really are only twenty-eight demons?

They deliberately murdered one more civilian, skinned one more person, and created the illusion that they had twenty-nine companions! To confuse the demon slayer and confuse the public?

This idea wandered around Niu Yuanping's mind for a long time.

In the end, he was amused by the dumb laughter.

"It's just a monkey spirit...... Is it really that smart? ”

I thought about it for a long time.

In the end, I didn't come up with a reason......

Niu Yuanping was a little sleepy.

"Forget it...... Why do you want to do so much? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! Whatever happens, I just have to be the same! ”

Thinking like that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

Although he slept late, the next day, Niu Yuanping still got up early in the morning, went to the dining hall to eat something, and went to the conference hall to order.

Hong Bingzhong is still there.

It seems to have proofread the demon slaying ledger for a night.

In addition to Hong Bingzhong, there are three other people.

Two men and one woman.

They are Li Chunting, Qi Lucui, and Zhang Bucheng.

Niu Yuanping glanced at Qi Lucui, who turned out to be a female demon slayer with a single eyelid.

It's not pretty, but the temperament is very good, the hair is braided into a twisted shape, on the left chest, and the waist is straight.

glanced at Zhang Bucheng again, the man looked not young, he had to be forty or fifty years old, and his temperament looked quite calm.

Li Chunting had already met the day before yesterday.

Until now, he had finally met all the five third-order demon slayers.

When he came in just now, Niu Yuanping felt that the four of them were together, as if they were discussing something.

When they saw that they were coming, they stopped talking.

Hong Bingzhong hurriedly greeted and asked with a smile, "Brother Yuanping got up so early?" Why don't you sleep more? ”

Niu Yuanping smiled, "I want to come and see if there are any tasks that I need to do, all the seniors are very busy these days, and the juniors also want to share more."

Li Chunting laughed, "I just like people like Yuan Ping, really!" Capable! Hahaha! ……”

Qi Lucui and Zhang Bucheng on the side looked at Niu Yuanping silently and did not speak.

At this time, Hong Bingzhong said with a smile, "I won't let you newcomers go out to do tasks today, I have other arrangements."

While he was talking, Sun Lan, Hu Dafeng and Kan Xingming walked in at the door.

Niu Yuanping looked at them.

I saw that Hu Dafeng was smiling smoothly at this time, and when he entered the door, he was busy greeting a few third-order demon slayer seniors.

Kan Xingming hid at the end, his face expressionless.

Sun Lan gave herself a cold look, then withdrew her gaze and stood aside.

Seeing this, Niu Yuanping didn't bother to take care of that kid.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, "What will happen when so many people get together all of a sudden?" ……”

At this moment, Hong Bingzhong spoke.

"Your master Zhu Yushun took leave to return to his hometown for some personal matters, but some cultivation matters cannot be delayed because of this."

Hearing this, Niu Yuanping's heart immediately understood.

It turned out to be because of this......

After a one-on-one conversation with Hong Bingzhong last night, he always felt that something big was about to happen.

So I was sensitive to this kind of scene where everyone gathered together, unconsciously.

I thought I was going to make a plan to investigate Zhu Yushun or something......

At this time, Hong Bingzhong's voice continued to reach his ears.

"Originally, I wanted to teach something in place of your master, but there are other things to do in the meantime...... Therefore, I had to ask Lucui and Master Zhang to spare a day to do it for me! ”

Niu Yuanping glanced at Qi Lucui with single eyelids again, and Zhang Bucheng with a calm face.

I thought to myself, I already have the strength of a third-order demon slayer, what else do I need them to teach me?

He glanced at Hu Dafeng, who had a sleek and flattering face, Kan Xingming, who had an expressionless face, and Sun Lan, who was full of cunning and coldness.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"What can I learn from being with this group of rookies? ……”

Heart, a little reluctant.

But there was no way, he didn't plan to reveal that his true strength had reached the level of a third-order demon slayer so soon.

Then you can only keep a low profile......

"Today's opportunity is a rare opportunity! You have to learn from the two masters. ”

Hong Bingzhong instructed.

After that, he whispered to Li Chunting beside him, "Let's go first."

"Okay."

Then, the two of them walked towards the outside of the council chamber.

Demon slayers, people always act like this......

Niu Yuanping looked at their departing backs thoughtfully.

Last night, Hong Bingzhong was still suspecting that Zhu Yushun was a demon, but today he looked impassive......

I don't know if this Hong Bingzhong also told others what he said to himself last night......

I also told myself to keep it a secret or something.

But I don't know why, Niu Yuanping always has an illusion.

At this moment, it seems that everyone except himself seems to know the truth of something!

Only he was kept in the dark.

As for the truth of what happened, I couldn't tell for a while......

In short, there is a feeling of being kept in the dark! This feeling made Niu Yuanping uncomfortable.
