In the wind and rain, lightning and thunder roared, and the sky and the earth were vast.

More than ten people from the Strange News Division wore clothes and hats, rode in the rain, and crossed the mountains and mountains briskly after the blessing of the magic talisman, and finally came to a riverside building before dark.

Everyone jumped down with agility, and then each drew his sword from its sheath.

A monk-like worshipper stood up, felt a little, and said in a deep voice: "This is it, he can't escape." ”

Zuo Zhongliang waved his hand: "Everyone keep up." ”

Suddenly, several black shadows rushed out of the room, like the body of a giant python standing upright, and it turned out to be a human head centipede as long as a few feet.

They all had large, long, pointed jawbones, and instead of pincers, they were a pair of human-like arms, and in an instant, someone was caught.

The man was silent, drew his knife and slashed.

In the splattering of blood, the arm let go, but a miserable green poisonous mist sprayed over.

This group of people had already prepared, and one by one they had already taken the antidote pill in advance, and they fought viciously with the monster without any effect.

"Hmph, just this little trick to come and go, be careful yourself, I'll deal with that demonic way. ”

With a command, he rushed past the warband.

A moment later, he came out again, carrying a half-grown boy in his hand.

The centipede lost control and acted in chaos, and was killed by everyone soon after.

The young man's whole body trembled, as if he was terrified, but he still looked at everyone with hatred, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes.

Someone couldn't help but be angry, and rushed up with a kick: "It's you, a little turtle cub, who killed so many of our brothers!"

Zuo Zhongliang stopped him and looked at the worship: "Lord worship, how can he be such a young man?"

Offering said: "Don't underestimate this person, he has already cultivated the evil law, not an ordinary minion, but with his Taoism, he really can't refine this kind of thing." ”

Zuo Zhongliang's eyes froze: "Did someone deliberately hand it over to him to distract us?" Could it be that the rumor ......?"

"There's no point in keeping it secret now, yes, that rumor is true." ”

Zuo Zhongliang said: "Then what should I do, if I don't do something, many people will die!"

"I don't know, these rains are not normal years at all, the demons have nothing to fear, just because they have enough hole cards in their hands and can do whatever they want." ”

And those hole cards happen to be handed over by the victimized mortals. ”

"Alas, mortals, how pathetic......"

When Zuo Zhongliang heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, we can only try our best to kill demons and kill these villains who take advantage of the chaos." ”

He carried the boy and walked to the clearing as the other struggled.

"Dog officer, I won't let you go, hahahaha...... Father, mother, the child is here to accompany you!"

The crazy laughter came to an abrupt end.

He threw the boy's body to the ground and walked alone to the edge of the cliff to look out at the river below.

The river was already muddy, like a rushing yellow dragon, making a heart-stopping roar.

His back looked a little lonely, and everyone understood why, but they had no way to comfort him, so they could only silently help burn the thief's corpse.

"It's this kind of person again, who was bewitched by the devil's way and wanted to cultivate the evil law to take revenge......"

"The world is rotten......"

"But if you want to be bewitched, you have to have qualifications, this thing is really a good thing, if I have a spiritual root, then it's good......"

In the midst of mixed feelings, these soldiers who had just experienced a fight could only ridicule each other like this.

Zuo Zhongliang frowned and looked at everyone: "Come on, do you really think that having a spiritual root qualification can change all this?"

"Zuo Baihu, don't you want this qualification?"

Zuo Zhongliang wiped the spatula with the rain, retracted it into the sheath, and said indifferently: "I don't want it." ”

"Tsk, you're a weird guy. ”

Everyone counted the scene through small talk, and then began to inspect the house, but did not say much.

Zuo Zhongliang was followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who was the person involved in the water monster case in Huangkou Town before.

More than three months have passed, and he has become an ordinary Xiaoqi of the Persona Division, following Zuo Zhongliang as an errand boy.

Hearsia people obviously also have the method of getting along, although they may not be as smart as Li Zhan's nose, but seeing a young man who is not tired of his family and has a passable nature, he simply recruited him to cultivate it.

The teenager is homeless, can eat with his mouth, and is also happy to work hard.

"Lord Baihu, why don't you want the spiritual root qualification?"

The young man seemed a little curious, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to ask the question just now.

Zuo Zhongliang looked at him, his expression was a little inexplicable: "Is this kind of thing something you want, you give it to me?"

The young man said abruptly: "Think about it, can't you think about it?"

Zuo Zhongliang said angrily: "If you have that kung fu to think about, it's better to do more practical things, I think you are still too idle, after you go back, practice the knife technique I taught you a hundred times!"

The young man subconsciously covered his arm: "I'm still practicing, I'm so tired of going around these days!"

Zuo Zhongliang said: "What's the matter if you're tired? The food in the division is so good that you can eat it with your belly open every day, and I will help you massage and invigorate your blood." ”

"You are pure in spirit, your understanding is not bad, it will not take half a year to become a small success, and then you will be polished for three or five years, and it will not be worse than me now. ”

The young man was puzzled: "But no matter how much I practice, I can't surpass the immortal master." ”

"Didn't you tell me at the beginning that even if mortals like us practice martial arts to the extreme, they are not as good as even the lowest-level monks. ”

Zuo Zhongliang looked at him coldly and said, "Tell you that those are to make you fight with your brain, don't think about fighting brute force all day long! If you have such a calculating mind, even if you are given sword gang and magic spells, what is the use?"

The boy's eyes widened, obviously a little incomprehensible: "Why?"

Zuo Zhongliang said: "Because at that time, you were an alien Ashin, an immortal master Ashin, and you were not a Stranger Si Xiaoqi Ashin, and the sword gang and supernatural spells were just tools for you to climb up, what else to talk about slaying demons and eliminating demons?"

"That person just now also has qualifications, isn't he degenerated into a demon minion and is our enemy?"

Although it is excusable that his entire family was killed, it is still unforgivable! This kind of person is not right, and the higher his cultivation, the greater the evil he will do. ”

The young man's expression froze: "This ......"

"So, Ashin......" Zuo Zhongliang called the young man's name, "get rid of those boring fantasies." ”

Bang!

At this moment, a thunderclap struck.

The shining thunder light illuminated the entire building, as well as Zuo Zhongliang's body and face.

His tone was resolute and serious: "Immortal masters are not enough to respect, ghosts and gods are not enough to fear, we mortals, we can only rely on ourselves!"

The young man muttered, "Mortal...... ...... yourself"

Zuo Zhongliang said: "Remember, we are Persona Division, and our mission is to kill demons!"

The young man subconsciously responded loudly: "Yes!"

"Zuo Baihu, what's wrong with you over there, what did you find?" someone was alarmed, and the voice came.

Zuo Zhongliang knocked on the young man's head and responded, "It's nothing." ”

The boy stuck out his tongue with an embarrassed expression.

But suddenly, Zuo Zhongliang turned around again, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Actually, I sometimes hate myself for being a mortal and powerless......

"If only I were an immortal master, I would have those magical spells. ”

The boy's eyes widened.

You've said all the right and the back, Lord Baihu, are you fooling me?

The group searched the place, but found nothing, so they had to return to the station.

This is the rudder of Baiming City, a town along the river, and the frequent activities of the Demon Road in the past few days have attracted the attention of all parties, and in order to ensure the safety of the city, the Persona Division has to send elites to this place to support.

It was against this background that Zuo Zhongliang and others came here, and they attacked many times in three consecutive days, destroying five dens.

It was a brilliant achievement, but no one was happy, because they were all inconsequential minions that seriously disturbed their attention.

"Sure enough, it's already started......"

Suddenly, a person who was resting in the lobby couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the department's announcement.

Everyone rushed over one after another, only to see a shocking update written on it.

In the upper reaches of the Da Ling River, a riverside town similar to this one was completely swallowed up by floodwaters.

Although some people had already begun to flee before the incident, there were still as many as 100,000 dead and injured and missing, and all the acres and houses were destroyed.

"The situation in this Baiming City where we are located seems to be very bad. ”

"The terrain here is not very good, and the small broken city will be finished sooner or later. ”

"Hey, what the hell are you doing, we're the Persona Division, not the local government. ”

"But now that the local area is also starting to move residents, we have to keep an eye on the demon cubs, and don't let them make trouble. ”

The people who gathered together to rest and be on call were talking.

Zuo Zhongliang suddenly noticed another general message: "Someone is pretending to be a ghost near Wangcheng, but this time, is it a dream to the nearby villagers to let them hide early?"

Some people couldn't help but sneer when they heard this: "This is a malicious intention, even if the villagers run, where can they run, and when there is not enough food, they will not have to starve to death?"

The others argued: "The ants are still stealing their lives, let alone people, in my opinion, if they can live for a while, they will earn a while, and the Demon Dao will not do this to teach those civilians to run to those manors and highlands in the suburbs." ”

Zuo Zhongliang looked at it for a while, and also agreed: "That person who pretends to be a ghost still has a conscience, the department suspects that he is the mysterious person who reported to us, and decided to suspend the disposal. ”

Some people objected: "So what? It is the territory of the princes and nobles, even if there is not enough protection for a while, and it is looted by the victims, it is still necessary to settle the account afterwards, and when the time comes, the officials and soldiers will come to suppress it, and they will become thieves." ”

Zuo Zhongliang was silent for a long time, and said: "It's better to be a thief than to starve to death." ”

"Hey, Lao Zuo, I don't like to hear what you say, if these people starve to death quietly, wouldn't they kill more people if they made so many things?"

"That's right, it's too selfish to only care about yourself. ”

Zuo Zhongliang said coldly: "Everyone is talking nonsense, and you have to wait for yourself and your relatives to be in trouble, and then you will know which side of your ass to sit on." ”

Unbeknownst to the Personas, as they spoke, an invisible spirit floated around them, silently watching them.

This spirit body is naturally Li Zhen who came to check the situation.

Now that the time was twilight, he planned to come over here to see the progress of the Persona people chasing down the Demon Dao, but he heard that these people were actually talking about what he had done recently.

When Li Zhen learned the true thoughts of these Hearsiers, he couldn't help but be stunned.

What shocked him even more was that he argued with Zuo Zhongliang, saying that the victims should starve to death quietly, and the fragrance of the person wafted from the person, and a righteous and selfless bamboo fragrance emanated.

At the same time, there is also the rotten stench of rancidity, which is the hatred hidden in the old things.

I only heard the man complain: "I once heard my grandfather say that five generations ago, our family also had good land and a lot of savings, and we could have relied on our own granary to survive the famine year, but because of these disaster victims, our family was beaten to death!"

Immediately, someone ridiculed each other: "That's really a coincidence, my grandfather's grandfather starved to death because the landlord refused to release grain, if it weren't for the Strange Hearing Division to give him food, I'm afraid he would also be a thief in your mouth." ”

Others heard the words and their minds fluctuated, each emitting a different smell.

Indignation, agitation, hatred, sympathy......

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, complex and indescribable.

For a while, Li Zhen, who prided himself on recognizing the flavors of the world and knowing good, evil, beauty and ugliness, was confused.

His supernatural talent seemed to be out of order, and it was difficult to discern the essence of these people's minds.

Li Zhen didn't bother to listen to their arguments, and quietly left this place and came to the outside world.

The wilderness outside the city had turned into a vast ocean, and some low-lying villages and acres of land had been submerged, and when Li Zhen hurried back, he happened to see several corpses lying dead on the side of the road.

They looked like they were trying to flee to the city, with wounds on their bodies, apparently not dying in the floods, but by the looting of the gangsters.

I also saw some low-lying villages, where the old, weak, sick and disabled who had no time to move had no help and drowned in stagnant water.

Li Ling can be regarded as truly seeing the fragility of life, as long as he does not eat for a few days, the infirm will be the first to starve to death, or get sick and die.

Suddenly, a faint rancid stench spread, filling the entire heaven and earth.

This is the smell of rotting corpses from the root of the nose and leading to consciousness, which Li Zhen has smelled before, and it symbolizes hatred, vendetta, and strong malice among many emotions.

Li Zhen thought it was emitted by those corpses, and subconsciously stayed away, but it turned out to be useless, and it was still everywhere!

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Zhen was shocked in his heart, and looked around, only to find that everything he saw, heard, and knew carried this smell, as if everything in heaven and earth was rotting and stinking.

Suddenly, some information appeared in his mind like instinct, which made Li Zhen inexplicably surprised.

"This is the doom?"

"Thief God, is there a mistake that you are going to cross the catastrophe so soon?"
