Chapter Ninety-Four—Do You Look Like a Man?
Since the reason for the appointment was related to Ji Lin, Ji Lin naturally became a member of the interview.
To Zhou Xinyi's surprise, the official of Xungus also came to the hotel where Zhou Xinyi lived with a gentleman's black hat.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't accompany you?"
"Things have changed a little. ”
"Last night an unknown creature broke into my tower and rummaged through all the papers I had stored in my study."
"It searched in my tower for a long time under the ritual of guarding against foreign enemies, and it was expelled after about a few dozen minutes."
"I checked the marks outside the tower this morning, and I can be sure that the monster climbed up the wall of the tower, and there are even some scratches on the wall, but it didn't break any of the windows."
"This must have something to do with the shadow-type monster."
"And what do you think the purpose of that monster is?" Zhou Xinyi asked.
"If you use the human mind to speculate," said Xungus, "I think it wants to get the documents of Jizhou City over the years and the official documents on the next policy. ”
The reason why every shadow-type monster entered Jizhou City was worth studying.
During the reign of the city lord, he did not deliberately make any moves against Ji Zhou City, it can be said that he is a city lord who thinks about the city, and he blends into human society for status and wealth.
What is the purpose of the official McVall and the shadow-shaped monster disguised as Ji Lin?
Is it just fun to observe humans?
Officials in Zengus, too, were suspicious of these issues, so they never acted rashly.
Adhering to the idea of solving the enemy's harm, eliminating the city lord and a powerful official in one go would be a devastating blow to Jizhou City.
Before deciding to go together, the officials of the Zengus were also wondering whether this choice was the right one.
Ji Zhoucheng still needs her occult skills to stabilize people's hearts.
If his trip hits the inhuman side of McVul's officials, should he be hostile, or should he help him cover it up?
The official was by no means hesitant to make a decision, and he had already made up his mind before coming here.
As long as the officials of Muffle still have the slightest intention of lurking, they will never directly expose the flaws in front of Zhou Xinyi.
He also had the opportunity to intervene.
During these five years, the McVall officials brought him countless surprises and disagreements.
There is no doubt that she is a serious, inflexible woman, and her attitude is sometimes terrifyingly stubborn, but one of the same officials, the official of Zeuss, has seen in her an incredibly bad personality.
It feels like a complete puzzle, which looks complete from a distance, but when you get closer, you find that the puzzle is cut into small pieces and glued together.
The Zengus official felt that his knowledge of the McVall officials was still the most important piece of the puzzle.
But that doesn't stop him from coming to one conclusion:
Officer McVall is a conscientious officer.
If the purpose of the rest of the shadow-type monsters was to destroy Jizhou City, then the officials of Muffle would not stand idly by.
In the afternoon, Zhou Xinyi, Ji Lin, and the official Xungus arrived at the residence of the official McVul, and before they could knock on the door, the gate opened automatically.
"That's normal for occultism, right?"
Zhou Xinyi teased and led everyone into the gate.
Inside the residence of the officials of McVall was a three-meter-long corridor, and to their surprise, the corridor was still a closed door today.
The door behind them had been shut, and they had no choice but to move forward now.
Zhou Xinyi lightly touched the door, and the gate opened gently without wind, revealing the true face of the official mansion of the McVall in front of them.
But none of them dared to enter.
Behind the door is the living room of the mansion, which is not as noble as expected, with only a few windows covered with thick curtains and two rows of magnificent wooden display cases.
The living room was dimly lit, with only the chandelier overhead glowing orange.
The light allows them to see the display inside the display case.
There are two large rows of display cabinets, nearly six or seven meters long and three meters high, with hundreds of square spaces.
There are hundreds of human heads in the space.
Each head belonged to a young man, from ten years old to thirty, and they closed their eyes slightly, with a quiet and comfortable expression.
The only thing these heads have in common is that they all have this distinctive feature on their faces, and some are even born with disabilities.
Zhou Xinyi seemed to see a girl with three small moles at the corners of her mouth in it.
When he saw this scene, the official felt as if the puzzle pieces in his head had been overturned by a pair of black hands, and then slammed into the ground.
Everything is turned upside down.
From the moment they entered the mansion, their tentative mission became an escape mission.
There was no expression on the face of the McVall officer, she looked at them steadily, and then her facial muscles stiffened and opened her mouth and asked:
"Why don't you come in?"
Her words were not ironic at all, but simply questioned.
Seeing that several people did not answer, but showed unusual wary looks, the McVall official carefully observed the facial expressions of several people, trying to guess their mood through their expressions.
In the end, she picked the one with the highest probability and said, "As far as I know, people like to display their collections, and I'm human, too." ”
McVall's emphasis made Zhou Xin Yi even more frightened.
But at least they realized that McVall was really trying to disguise herself, and not trying to give them a good start.
The official also reacted at this moment, laughed, and walked into the living room as he usually talks about business, "This is really ...... I was taken aback by the shocking collection, official McVul. ”
"Why be afraid, these are human heads."
Zhou Xinyi and Yi couldn't answer this sentence, so they had to sit on the sofa in silence.
"Because people are afraid of death, Officer McVul." On the contrary, Ji Lin plucked up the courage to say.
Officer McVall moved his head and looked at her, "Wrong, a dead head is not a threat to people. ”
Zhou Xinyi immediately pressed Ji Lin's hand and motioned for her to stop talking.
"May I ask Officer McVul, why are you closing the curtains?" Zhou Xinyi asked.
"These heads are not exposed to the sun," said Officer McVell, "and even with occult protection, the preservation of the shade will reduce the evaporation of mana." ”
"I see," Zhou Xinyi said with a dry smile...... "I thought it was because you didn't like the sun." ”
McVall was puzzled, "Sunlight below forty degrees is not harmful. ”
"That's right......" Zhou Xinyi glanced at Xungus.
Zungus also planned to speak, "Officer McVul, how much do you know about that kind of monster that can disguise itself as Ji Lin's appearance?" ”
Zhou Xinyi praised Xungusi from the bottom of his heart, and he really dared to ask questions.
After all, it was easier for him to know the officials of the Muffle than Zhou Xin, and the other party still thought that his disguise was perfect, and replied businesslikely, "It is a race with its own wisdom and wisdom. ”
Surprised, "Race? ”
Then he pretended to be ignorant, "I think they're just unintelligent monsters. ”
McVulle: "Yes. ”
“……”
And so the topic died.
Zhou Xinyi had no choice but to ask, "Why do you say that they are intelligent races, and that they have no spiritual intelligence?" ”
"The relationship between the two is that of a butterfly and a caterpillar. ”
"Monsters that only know bloodthirsty will grow into intelligent creatures, and that creatures will grow into different patterns like butterfly wings, giving birth to personalities."
Zhou Xin Yi said, "But between the same species, the pattern of butterfly wings is also adjusted according to a tone. ”
McVall nodded, "Yes." ”
Zhou Xinyi already knew how to talk to McVul, that is, to throw out the topic, "The characteristic of butterfly wings is hue, and what are the characteristics of these races?" ”
McVall said, "Same philosophy and hobbies. ”
"What does this refer to?" Officer McVall, you can tell your guess and think about it together. ”
"Every individual of this race has a common understanding that nothing in this world is false, and when the same thing as you is destroyed, you will also become the only truth."
"And they hate things that are exactly like themselves."
Zingus touched his chin, "Well, that's an interesting guess. ”
"That's why Miss Ji Lin was hunted down," said McVul, "but now the two of them don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
"Do you mean that you will help Miss Ji Lin and protect her?"
"Not really," McVall said, "but you don't have to dive into it. ”
Zhou Xinyi glanced at Ji Lin, and Ji Lin also glanced at him uneasily.
After the two looked at each other, a sense of uneasiness arose.
"McVul, is there anything we need to be aware of, or what we can do when dealing with that kind of monster?" Zengus asked.
"It's natural," McVall nodded, "Officer Sungus, the best thing to do is not to attract her attention to you, if it is already ......"
"The location of the human bladder is the key to them, and the use of silver products smoked by the smoke of beeswax incineration can touch their lives."
Zhou Xinyi and Ji Lin looked at each other stunned, they didn't expect the other party to tell such important information.
It was not surprising that the McVall officials had always been a point-to-the-point character in their work, and there was no ambiguity in what they could do, and from the moment McVall was willing to give them information, he knew that this trip would definitely be rewarding.
Zhou Xinyi and Xungus knew very well the importance of accepting it when they saw it, and immediately stood up and said goodbye to McVul, "Very critical information, official McVul, if you succeed, you will definitely be indispensable." ”
Zhou Xinyi was also ready to leave Lajilin.
"What are you kidding," Ji Lin didn't move, looking at McVeul's expressionless face, and said in disgust, "You're such an idiot." ”
"McVul, they already knew you weren't human."
