Bamboo and wood loft.

Qi Lin, Irena, Catherine, and Tang Haoyuan returned all the way from the blacksmith shop, went up to the second floor, and came to the innermost room on the second floor.

At this time, the wooden door of this room was closed, and the whole seemed to be unremarkable, but if you perceive it carefully, you can detect that there is a powerful magic force that has enveloped the entire room - the sealing magic arranged by Tang Haoyuan.

"Buzz!"

Tang Haoyuan walked to the door, and with a wave of his hand, the surface of the wooden door lit up with purple brilliance, and many strange purple-blue runes.

As he cast a spell to open the seal, the wooden door opened automatically.

"Huh?"

Inside, Daisy was sitting at the table with her back to the door, as if she was drawing or something, when she felt the movement of the seal being lifted, and then looked back.

As for Liu Jingyun, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating and cultivating, and at this time he also opened his eyes and looked at Qi Lin and the others who were standing at the door.

"Forehead ......"

Qi Lin couldn't help but glance at her more.

Because Liu Jingyun is now a bald head.

Her original hair was all a copy of Joshua's hair, and Tang Haoyuan felt that these things related to Joshua were not safe to stay on her, so as early as the day she was under house arrest, her hair had all been wiped out by Tang Haoyuan.

But I have to say that as long as the appearance is high enough, the bald head can barely be seen.

"Why are you here?"

Daisy put down the charcoal in her hand and looked at Qi Lin, Tang Haoyuan and the others in surprise, "You are finally willing to believe in the two of us and are ready to let us out?!" ”

"No, you're thinking too much."

Tang Haoyuan walked into the house with a blank face.

Qi Lin, Irena, and Catherine also walked in.

Then Tang Haoyuan waved his hand again to cast a spell, closing the seal of the entire room again, and the wooden door was also closed.

"Ask you something."

Tang Haoyuan looked at Liu Jingyun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and asked in a deep voice: "You said before that Joshua's hair has a sense of the remnant soul of Joshua himself, and once it is nearby, it will change, which can play a role in prompting, I didn't ask too specific at the time, now, tell me, what is this reaction like?" ”

"Forehead ......"

When Liu Jingyun heard this, her brows immediately furrowed, "Instructor Tangyuan, what happened?" Are those strands reacting? ”

"I'm asking you, not you." Tang Haoyuan said lightly.

"Okay."

Liu Jingyun could only helplessly say in the face of the indifferent attitude of the Tangyuan instructor: "Joshua's hair, once it senses Joshua's remnant soul, it will exude a strong blood demon aura.

And my teacher had specially arranged sealing magic for the box where the hair was stored.

This sealing magic will detect the state of the hair, and once it detects that the hair suddenly emits the breath of blood demon, the seal of the box will also be triggered, causing the box to vibrate and glow. ”

"Like that?"

Tang Haoyuan listened, his face was suddenly difficult to see, and from the space ring in his left hand, he took out a delicate silver-white jewelry box.

At this time, the box was vibrating gently, and the surface of the box body was lit up with golden lines, accompanied by looming golden runes.

Vibrate, glow.

This state is completely in line with Liu Jingyun's introduction.

"Oh my God!"

When Daisy saw this, she immediately screamed, her face full of panic, "What does this, this, what do you mean?!" Now Joshua's remnant is near us?! ”

"How, how is it possible?!"

Liu Jingyun also looked incredulous, and said incredulously: "Why is this happening? It didn't react a few days ago? But we've been on Blood Raven Island all along, why didn't it react before, but now it does? Could it be that the location of the blood pool is not fixed, but is always in a state of movement? And now the blood pool has moved to the vicinity of Blood Raven Island?! ”

“……”

As soon as Liu Jingyun's words fell, the box in Tang Haoyuan's hand stopped vibrating, and the golden lines and golden runes on the surface also disappeared and returned to stillness.

"Stopped again?"

Daisy was stunned.

"It's not shaking all the time." Tang Haoyuan said, "Ten minutes ago, I was still in class at the school, but I suddenly found that this box was vibrating in my space ring, but it was not shaking all the time, but intermittently shaking, every few tens of seconds, it would only shake for a few seconds or so, from just now to now, it is almost like this." ”

"Intermittent?"

Liu Jingyun stepped out of bed and paced back and forth in the room, falling into deep thought, "Why is it intermittent?" The teacher said that Joshua's hair, once it senses Joshua's remnant soul, will exude a strong blood demon aura, which will be detected by the seal of the box and appear to vibrate and glow.

In this process, there is almost no possibility of false triggering.

But why do they vibrate intermittently?

In other words, the seal of the box, every few tens of seconds, will detect that Joshua's hair exudes a bloody demon aura...... To be more precise, is it Joshua's hair, and every few tens of seconds, it senses that Joshua's remnant soul is nearby? Why is this happening? ”

Liu Jingyun thought for a while, and the doubt on her face became more and more intense.

However, Daisy looked at the drawing paper, charcoal, and paint clay pots on the table, but she blinked, and then hesitated: "Well, that, I suddenly thought of another possibility." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Jingyun, Qi Lin and the others all cast their eyes at the green-haired female elf.

"It's just, it's just a guess."

Daisy scratched her head and said hesitantly, "Perhaps, we can understand Joshua's remnant soul breath as a smell, and his hair can smell this smell from a certain distance.

As we all know, the closer you are to the source of the smell, the clearer the smell will be.

But there is also another situation, where the source of the smell becomes more intense, and the range of odors emitted is wider, so that we can smell the smell clearly even if we are far away...... Well, let's take this paint as an example. ”

With that, Daisy picked up a clay pot with a lid from the table next to her.

These pigment clay pots are local goods of the Blood Crow Walled City, the Blood Crow people are very fond of murals, and their mural graffiti can be seen everywhere in the walled city, so they have realized the self-production and sale of pigments very early, but due to the problem of raw materials, the smell of these pigments is very pungent.

When Qi Lin was wandering around the city before, he had seen the Blood Raven Clan working on murals a few times, and the smell of paint was ...... Tsk, it smells worse than paint that hasn't dried.

"I opened it."

With that, Daisy opened the lid of the jar of paint in her hand.

Almost as soon as the lid was opened, a pungent and unpleasant stench emanated, filling the room in just a few seconds.

Qi Lin and the others all subconsciously covered their noses.

"Then I'll cover it again."

Daisy recaps the paint jar and seals it.

Without the "continuous smell" of the paint jar, the pungent smell in the room quickly faded a lot, and if the window was opened again and ventilated, it was estimated that it would soon be dissipated.

“……”

Qi Lin, Liu Jingyun, Tang Haoyuan and others looked at each other, all with solemn expressions.

Daisy's example is clear and intuitive.

Paint—Joshua's remnant soul.

Paint jar and lid - Joshua's blood pool seal.

Temporarily open the lid - temporarily open the seal, or rather, pry open the corner of the seal temporarily.

When the lid was opened, the smell of the paint emanated from the paint—Joshua's remnant breath.

Qi Lin and the others' noses - Joshua's hair.

Reclose the lid and keep the smell out—Joshua's blood pool seal is closed again to keep out the remnant breath.

"So ......"

Tang Haoyuan looked at the box in his hand where Joshua's hair was stored, and then frowned and looked at Daisy, "You mean, right now, someone is trying to open Joshua's blood pool seal, and every few tens of seconds, he will temporarily pry open a corner of the seal, causing a large amount of Joshua's remnant soul aura to gush out to the Demon Sea and to the vicinity of Blood Raven Island, so that these hairs will be sensed, so the box will have an intermittent vibration reaction?" ”

"I said, I'm just guessing."

Daisy spread her hands and said helplessly: "Aren't you and Qi Lin the most like to talk about evidence?" I don't have any evidence on that. ”

Obviously, she was complaining about Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan's actions of putting her and Liu Jingyun under house arrest in the room because she couldn't come up with evidence to prove her innocence.

But at this moment, Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan were not in the mood to deal with her dissatisfaction.

"Someone found the pool of blood before you two did, and continues to pry open the seal......"

Tang Haoyuan glanced at Liu Jingyun and Daisy, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "So, what should we do now?" Stop this? Or wait and see? ”

"How to stop it?"

At this time, Catherine, who had been silent from beginning to end, slowly asked out loud.

Qi Lin, Tang Haoyuan and others all looked at this succubus female knight.

"There's nothing we can do to stop this."

Catherine looked at Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan, and said in a deep voice: "After all, if we don't even know where the person is, how can we stop him?" So if you want to stop that person from continuing to pry the blood pool seal, you must first find the blood pool before you can stop his actions.

But this means that we have to change our original strategy, from not looking for and not touching the blood pool, to actively looking for and touching the blood pool...... Master, instructor Tangyuan, don't you think this thing is a little wonderful? ”

"Huh?"

Qi Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hey, hey, it's not going to be you two again, right?"

After hearing Catherine's words, Tang Haoyuan immediately looked at Liu Jingyun and Daisy, his face full of suspicion, "The box reacted for no reason, and then you speculated again, creating the illusion that someone was prying the seal of the blood pool, so as to induce us to find the blood pool in order to stop this person, and finally achieve the goal of the two of you finding the blood pool...... Well, the whole logical chain is very complete, and this box was also given by Liu Jingyun, if you have any unknown means to control the box remotely, it is also very reasonable. ”

"Reasonable what!"

Liu Jingyun was so angry that she stomped her feet again and again, and glared at Tang Haoyuan angrily, "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add!" And also! The box was not given by me, it was forcibly taken away by you! And my hair, you forcibly took it away, when did it become what I gave it?!

Instructor Tangyuan, your prejudice against us is too heavy now!

Even if I suddenly eat an extra bowl of rice when I eat now, you probably suspect that Joshua has given me a demonic power, which is why the amount of food has increased, right?! ”

"Prejudice doesn't come out of nowhere."

Tang Haoyuan was expressionless, and said calmly: "I admit that I have prejudice against you, and this prejudice has indeed affected my subjective judgment of the two of you to a certain extent, but, Liu Jingyun, Daisy, my prejudice against the two of you is all made up by the two of you, isn't it?" ”

“……”

Daisy shook her head helplessly.

Liu Jingyun was too lazy to tell him again.

"It's not necessarily a conspiracy made up by Miss Liu Jingyun and Miss Daisy."

At this time, Catherine spoke up slowly and said, "After all, with the strength of Miss Liu Jingyun and Miss Daisy, even if they find the blood pool, under our care, they will not be able to make any waves...... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they have some special means to ignore our control and forcibly do something in the blood pool area.

This possibility also exists.

But I prefer that it has nothing to do with them, but a conspiracy by Joshua.

He found that the master was slow to touch his hair, he was slow to sleep, and he was slow to give him a chance to sleep, so he was in a hurry, he had already guessed that the master didn't want to save him, so he made these things, and wanted to change the way to induce the master to go to the blood pool to save him.

Here's how I see it.

Forehead ......"

Catherine said this, looked at Tang Haoyuan, and then smiled helplessly, "Okay, actually, I am also a subjective judgment under the influence of prejudice, if Instructor Tangyuan is biased against Miss Liu Jingyun, then I am prejudiced against a big demon like Joshua, and I also admit this, so I think that Joshua is playing tricks in everything." ”

"Conspiracy, conspiracy."

Qi Lin leaned his back against the wall, looked at Tang Haoyuan, and then looked at Catherine, and said in a deep voice: "One of you thinks it's Liu Jingyun's conspiracy, and the other thinks it's Joshua's conspiracy, indeed, both possibilities exist, but is there another possibility, that is, there is no conspiracy at all, but someone is really priing open the seal of the blood pool and trying to release Joshua's remnant soul?" ”

“……”

Tang Haoyuan and Catherine looked at each other, both silent.

"I'm almost confused by what you say."

At this time, Irena, who had been quiet from beginning to end, raised her hand and scratched her pink hair vigorously, and then said helplessly: "Well, I'll just ask one thing, that is, what should we do now?" After all, you see, this is the way it is now.

One, assuming that Catherine and Instructor Tangyuan's guess is true, it is very simple, we should not deal with this conspiracy, and this matter ends here.

Second, assuming Qi Lin's guess is true, then we must find the pool of blood and prevent the other party from rescuing Joshua.

A great demon like Joshua must be a scourge to let it out.

The most important thing is that he has set his sights on Qi Lin, and now it is estimated that he has found out that Qi Lin does not want to save him, after all, Qi Lin has not touched his hair for so many days and took the initiative to find him, nor did he sleep to let Joshua sleep to find him, and the meaning of not wanting to save is already obvious.

In this way, Joshua will definitely be unhappy.

After all, for this kind of great demon, if I ask you to save me, but you ignore me, then you already have a way to die.

So if Joshua is really rescued, then it is absolutely possible to take the time to come and relieve Qi Lin from Zai, don't overestimate the eyes of a demon, what strong people disdain to worry about the weak are, and the strong like to care about them the most!

As for how a remnant soul can kill?

I think that a terrifying existence that was an eighth-order great demon in his lifetime, even if there is only a wisp of remnant soul left, it should be very simple to kill someone, after all, it is an eighth-order great demon, hey, eighth-order, eighth-order!! In our Hell, apart from those ninth-order hell kings, this group of eighth-order great demons is the most terrifying!!

So ......"

Irena said this, blinking her big pink eyes, looking at Qi Lin, and then at Catherine and Tang Haoyuan, "What should we do now?" ”

“……”

The crowd was silent.

The room fell silent.

"Can't bet!"

In the end, Qi Lin took the lead in breaking the silence, "If Joshua is really released, then this consequence will be something I can't bear, so I can't sit back and bet that this won't happen, but I have to take action to make sure that this thing never happens!" ”

"What then?"

Tang Haoyuan gritted his teeth, his face full of confusion, "Do you really want to find the blood pool?" See if someone is really there to pry the seal? But what if this is a conspiracy by Liu Jingyun or Joshua, whose purpose is to trick you into the past? ”
