"Blood ritual?"

Not only Li Changan, but Ran Swordfish also showed a look of doubt.

She had never heard of this so-called "ritual of blood".

Zhao Shui's face was red and black, and his voice was low:

"About half a year ago, we received an investigation mission and cracked a strange cult gang.

They served an unknown deity called the 'God of Blood', and in their base at the time, a broken 'Blood Ritual' scroll was found."

"So. Did any of you watch it? Li Changan couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Shuihong's rugged face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water, but he still said with great certainty:

"Nope."

looked at the two of them, and finally stopped at Ran Swordfish.

"Ran, you should understand that once you find this kind of weird thing, you need to report it, and all seizures must be handed over, and a reward will be given above."

Hearing this, Ran Swordfish nodded, agreeing with his words.

It's the rule.

However, Ran Swordfish then asked:

"Where did you get the ritual method?"

"I don't know." Zhao Shuihong said.

After a short pause, he hesitated and said again:

"Perhaps. We didn't completely wipe out that group, or maybe Shi Cheng found a similar ritual method somewhere else. ”

Ran Swordfish lowered his eyes and did not say anything.

But apparently she doesn't agree with this statement.

"What does the 'Blood Ritual' do?" Li Changan asked after thinking about it.

"Resurrection."

Zhao Shuihong clenched her fists again, as if she was suppressing something.

"Resurrection?!"

Li Changan's eyes widened, and he looked towards the dead black iron leopard in the "blood pool".

Although, this world is full of all kinds of spirit beasts, and they also have all kinds of strange or mysterious abilities.

But Li Changan firmly believes that when it comes to the ability to resurrect, it is definitely not something that can be easily reached.

At least.

It's not beyond the reach of a low-level spirit master like them.

"Similar.' Life refined'? ”

He had seen some descriptions of the mysterious ritual of "life refining" in a pile of ancient books in the library of the Quiet Society.

"Life refining" is also a ritual that can constitute the illusion of so-called "resurrection".

Merely.

"Life refining" can only restore the body of a human or spirit animal, but it cannot involve the most mysterious levels of "soul" and "spirituality".

It's more like the "cloning" technology of his previous life.

The "soul" is often the most mysterious and the most difficult to touch.

If you touch it indiscriminately, if you are not careful, you may fall into the trick.

Most of the forbidden rituals such as "life refining" and "blood ritual" originated from the end of the Third Age to the Fourth Age.

It belongs to the ancillary products produced by the ancient spirit masters in the exploration of the way forward, and they are also some not very good ancillary products.

Nowadays, both the Kingdom and the Soul Master Association have banned this forbidden ritual.

Once a touch is detected, it must be strangled.

Zhao Shuihong glanced at Li Changan with some surprise.

"I didn't expect you to know 'life refining'."

"Li Chang'an is an expert on the history of our Tranquility Club Yangcheng Branch." Ran Swordfish raised his chin slightly and said.

Historian

Sister Yu, we can't afford it, Li Changan secretly complained.

"Meow."

Xiao Fan also raised his chin, and his expression was much prouder than that of Ran Swordfish.

Zhao Shuihong nodded slightly thoughtfully and continued:

"At the turn of the red moon, the side we were responsible for suffered a lot of impact, and Shi Cheng's black iron leopard suffered a lot of injuries in order to protect him, and when he was sent back to the base, he was already dying."

Did Shi Cheng take the risk of using the so-called "Blood Ritual" to resurrect his spirit beast, the Black Iron Leopard?

Li Changan looked sideways at Xiao Phantom on his shoulder.

"Woo~~"

And Xiao Phantom also subconsciously looked at him.

Bring in Shi Cheng's identity.

If Fantasy is seriously injured in order to protect him, he can't be saved.

Two paths were in front of him.

One is to accept the reality with pain.

The other is to try to resurrect Xiao Phantom in an extremely dangerous and extremely low probability way, what will he choose?

Reason tells him that he should choose to accept it.

But the reality is that he probably won't hesitate to go down the same path as Shi Cheng.

All three were silent.

Because they all understand what Shi Cheng is doing, and they accept this reason.

But.

Understanding does not mean that he is doing the right thing.

It's just that my heart is a little blocked.

After a long while, Li Changan slowly recovered from the assumption of bringing in his identity, and spoke again:

"Will the 'Blood Ritual' make Shi Cheng such a monster who is not human or ghost?"

If so.

So how did the "Pale Picture Scroll" exterminate that cult gang in the first place?

As long as three or four of those people became like Shi Cheng, the pale painter would not so much kill them as send them to death.

Looking at Zhao Shuihong's expression, it seems that he didn't understand it.

"Ran." Zhao Shuihong looked at Ran Swordfish.

"Although it's a little inappropriate, I still want to trouble you Jing Jing will help investigate the cult gang again, and I will report to the above and share the task."

Ran Swordfish didn't speak, just looked at him silently, waiting for his next step.

Zhao Shuihong sighed slightly.

"I don't know if there are any other people in us who are affected. According to the regulations, when there are people within us who are affected, and it is impossible to rule out whether the rest of the people are also affected, we can share the task with other organizations, or hand over the task directly. ”

Shi Cheng's situation made him dare not guarantee whether the rest of their pale scrolls were also affected.

For the sake of stability, he had to go back and gather everyone, and then get an occult expert from above to examine the whole of them.

In this way, unnecessary dangers and troubles are avoided.

Obviously, Ran Swordfish also understands such rules and regulations.

But she squinted her eyes and said:

"It's up to us."

There was no negotiation.

Zhao Shuihong smiled bitterly.

If it were him, he would not accept the so-called task sharing, either he would directly hand over the task, or everyone would not have interaction.

Otherwise.

After that, it will be troublesome to distribute the bonus according to the payout.

In the past, it was not without the cooperation of two or more organizations in other cities, but in the end, the task was not completed, and there were many intrigues with each other, and the relationship between several parties deteriorated.

Again.

The relationship between everyone is not good to that extent.

"Okay."

In the end, I nodded in agreement.

After a moment's hesitation, he added:

"I'll ask Mo to hand over the details to you."

All three of them looked in the direction of the warehouse door at the same time.

Saw.

Shen Xiaomo's timid girl lay on her stomach next to the door and cautiously poked out half of her head.

Noticing the sight of the three of them, he suddenly shrank back from a sudden spirit.

Looking at her timid appearance, Li Changan really doubted, let her do the details handover, can you explain it?

But Ran Swordfish agreed without hesitation.

After that, Zhao Shuihong left, leaving Shen Xiaomo behind.

As for the warehouse, he will ask someone from the security bureau to deal with it.

Shen Xiaomo looked at the departing Zhao Shuihong pitifully.

She was left behind?

"Sister Yu, she."

Li Changan felt that Ran Swordfish might not understand Shen Xiaomo's situation, and felt that it was necessary to remind him.

He didn't reject Shen Xiaomo, but he felt that the task was not easy, so it was more reliable to find someone who spoke more neatly to hand it over.

But he heard Ran Jianyu say in a calm tone:

"She's the treasure of the Pale Painted Scroll, and she has the 'Soul Stigmata: Psionics', which can help her in the quest."

"'Soul Stigmata: Psychics'?!"

Li Changan was stunned.

He looked again at the little girl who was standing there timidly, rubbing the corners of her clothes.

This was the first time he had seen someone with the talent of "Soul Stigma".

Although he is also believed to be the owner of "Soul Stigmata: Enhanced".

But Li Changan knew in his heart that he was just relying on the black leather manual to make a show.

It turns out that there really are some gifted spirit masters.

Meantime.

He also understood.

Why can Shen Xiaomo see the little illusion in the state of "shadow escape".

It can also be cast with the same lock state as Xiaofan.

You can also find the weakness of the cast that turns into a monster.

But even with a rare talent, the problem of how to communicate is still a big problem.

Ran Swordfish seemed to see through his thoughts, and his eyes looked him up and down.

"Do you think that everyone like you, when they do a tentative task for the first time, can turn over a case that has almost been determined?"

She was talking about the case of the Helong Mine in Ningyuan County.

At that time, the case was almost finalized.

How do you know that Li Changan really found out Zheng Chunyue.

The fat man was late at the time, and there was also a reason for this.

Li Changan touched his nose.

All right.

It seems that Zhao Shuihong wants to exercise Shen Xiaomo.

Part of the reason I brought her to the banquet tonight is partly for that.

"Let's go, go back and get ready, the fat man should be almost recovered."

Ran Swordfish walked out of the warehouse with the caracal wolf.

Shen Xiaomo lowered his head, and he didn't need anyone to explain, so he silently followed behind Li Changan, like a little heel.

"Lao Cao woke up?"

Returning to the base of the Tranquility Society, Li Changan learned this information from Bai Zhu's mouth.

"Please take this girl with me."

Leaving two girls who are a little confused.

Stop.

One of them is talkative, the other is mute.

I don't know what it's like to get along.

Strode towards the room where Cao Xinsheng was resting.

When walking, Xiao Phantom suddenly felt an itchy nose.

"Chirp—"

He sneezed, clawed twice, and grabbed a few strands of black hair.

Li Changan: "."

Xiao Phantom stood up and glanced at the top of Li Changan's head, patting his chest and breathing a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there is a lot of hair.

Ignoring the little guy's worries, when Li Changan walked into Lao Cao's room, Teng Hongrui and He Yongnan were already inside.

"Chang'an is here." Teng Hongrui greeted.

Li Changan immediately looked at Cao Xinsheng who was lying on the bed.

I saw that he had a ruddy complexion and a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in good shape.

Seeing his appearance, half of his hanging heart was relaxed.

Sit on the edge of the bed.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Cao Xinsheng said with a smile.

Li Changan patted the quilt and laughed along.

"Then I have to tell my aunt that she has been thinking about you all this time."

It sounded like there was nothing wrong with the words, but the corner of Li Changan's eyes kept silently watching Lao Cao's expression.

The little phantom on his shoulder also shrank slightly, and at an angle that several people couldn't see, the shadow flashed away.

Cao Xinsheng was stunned.

"You got it?"

Know what?

Teng Hongrui and He Yongnan were puzzled.

After Li Chang'an paused, his expression was complicated and he bowed slightly.

Seeing Cao Xinsheng exhale, he smiled with some guilt, shook his head and said:

"It's that worries her. I wanted to surprise her. ”

"Surprise?"

Cao Xinsheng glanced at the three people in the room and pursed his lips.

"I adopted two children in an orphanage."

Hear the words.

Teng Hongrui and He Yongnan were both stunned, full of shock.

"Adopt a child?!" He Yongnan's voice was two notches higher.

"So what to be surprised? I didn't want to tell you, but I don't want to leave a name for doing good deeds. ”

"Just you?" He Yongnan looked disdainful.

"Lao He, you guy"

“.”

Soon, there was a familiar bickering between Lao Cao and Lao He in the room.

Teng Hongrui and Li Changan watched silently from the side.

Unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

It's a familiar feeling.

Very good.

Lao Cao took the initiative to take out what Li Changan was worried about, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to uncover the scars and exchange Li Changan with peace of mind.

It's more than 2.6w.,Whew-
