Shuichuan County County Ya, a middle-aged man with a mustache was walking around the back hall with a gloomy face.

As the county magistrate of Shuichuan County, Tang Zhong had not been so anxious for many years as he was today.

Hundreds of residents died in the entire county overnight, and most of them were dug out of their hearts.

Several of the young women had their hearts gouged out, but even their bellies had their bellies torn open.

Thinking of the tragic situation of those corpses he saw not long ago, Tang Zhong clenched his fists hard.

"Who is it that dares to do such a hurtful thing. ”

Pulling out the hearts of hundreds of people overnight is such a frustrating method.

Just when Tang Zhong was angry because of the murder of 100 people, Zhang Wei, the chief bookkeeper of the county government, hurriedly walked into the back hall.

"My lord, no, someone in the county has an accident again. ”

Coming to Tang Zhong's side, Zhang Wei reported in a hurried tone.

"What, someone has an accident again?"

Tang Zhong looked startled and immediately asked.

"How did you die?"

"Drowned. ”

"Drowning...... Fortunately, it shouldn't be the same person who killed last night. ”

Hearing that it was drowning, Tang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wei stood in front of Tang Zhong, looked at his slightly relaxed face, opened his mouth, and spoke again.

"Although it was drowned, there were many people who died this time, there were seven. ”

"Moreover, all seven of them had just died, and the way they drowned seemed a little strange. ”

"What kind of weird method?" Tang Zhong raised his eyebrows and continued to ask in a deep voice.

"That's it, according to the statements of the relatives of the deceased, those who drowned ......"

In the next half of the incense time, Zhang Wei began to tell Tang Zhong word by word that there was relevant news about the seven drowning dead.

Standing in the back hall with his hands in his hands, Tang Zhong listened carefully to all Zhang Wei's words, and a different color flashed in his eyes.

He found that the seven drowning deceased, although the drowning locations were different.

It can be found in various places such as wells, pools, and rivers.

However, they have one thing in common, they are both attracted by something to the water, and finally drown inexplicably, and the method of death is indeed very weird.

For example, Zhao Si, who drowned in the well water, was drowned alive at the bottom of the well because he found a mysterious object in the well that emitted golden light.

The male deceased who drowned in the pool was found that a young and beautiful woman had fallen into the pool, and in a hurry, he jumped into the pool to rescue, but as soon as he jumped in, he never floated again.

As for the deceased who drowned in the river, it is said that a fisherman was fishing when he saw an underwater palace looming at the bottom of the river, and then disappeared.

"Master Zhang, do you think it's possible that these two 'killings' were not man-made. ”

Tang Zhong, who had been silent in place for a long time and had a calm face, spoke again with a hint of affirmation in his tone.

"Not man-made?"

Zhang Wei pinched a small pinch of his chin, and after carefully considering Tang Zhong's words, he raised his head sharply and shouted with wide eyes.

"My lord, you mean that there are demons in the county?"

"Hmm. Tang Zhong nodded solemnly.

He couldn't think of any other creature other than demons that could possess such abilities.

Although, according to the prefectural records, there have been no demons in Mizukawa Prefecture for more than ten years, but the whereabouts of the demons are mysterious, and no one can guess where they will appear.

"Moreover, I suspect that the number of demons in the county is not just one, there are very likely to be two. ”

After affirming Zhang Wei's guess, Tang Zhong continued in a heavy tone.

"My lord, if this is the case, then we must hurry up and go to the Demon Suppression Division in Fucheng to invite the Demon Suppressor, otherwise the entire county town will not know how many people will die. ”

Thinking of the horror of the demon, Zhang Wei's lips trembled and suggested.

Demons, that is the existence of killing people without blinking, and the killing methods are extremely weird, and they can't be prevented, and ordinary people are almost dead when they encounter it.

"This is natural, without further ado, Master Zhang, you immediately go and inform Zhao Yandian, and ask him to hurry up and immediately rush to the Fucheng Demon Division and invite the Demon Suppressor. ”

Zhao Yidian, whose full name is Zhao Wei, is the most powerful person in the entire county, and sending him to Fucheng can prevent accidents on the way to the greatest extent.

"Yes, the lower official will go to the official. After receiving the order, Zhang Wei quickly withdrew from the back hall.

Not long after Zhang Wei left, a dark-skinned sturdy man, riding a big yellow horse, rushed to the capital city of Lin'an Mansion at a gallop.

Not long after Zhao Wei left, there were several figures dressed in white and smelling a cloud pattern on their chests at the entrance of the county.

One man and three women, all young, the man was at the front, and the three women were slightly half a step behind.

"Childe, I think there are a lot of strange things about the appearance of the real person of the Remnant Sword in Shuichuan County this time. ”

Just as a man and three women were about to step into Shuichuan County, the woman closest to the man suddenly spoke.

As she spoke, a pair of delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, adding a touch of charm to her gorgeous face.

"Smack......

The man who walked in front suddenly stopped and froze in place.

He straightened up with his head held high, looked around at the shadowy mass of buildings in front of him, and let out his breath.

"I don't know what's strange in it, but in order to catch a glimpse of the demeanor of the remnant sword who is known as the 'first sword under the grandmaster', why take some risks. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he lifted his boots embroidered with a large number of cloud patterns and stepped into Mizukawa County.

After several turnarounds, the young man came to the front of the Shanzhen Building with three maids.

With a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, he glanced at the plaque with three big characters written "Shanzhen Building", and the young man lifted his footsteps and entered the building.

"Shopkeeper, is there a room on the third floor?"

As soon as he entered the Shanzhen Building, the young man went straight to the counter, took out a token engraved with the word "white" on the front and a cloud pattern on the reverse from his arms, and asked in a low voice after handing it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of Shanzhenlou took the token, and after looking at it twice, a chrysanthemum-like smile immediately bloomed on his round face.

He opened his mouth and said:

"It turned out to be a young ...... of Baiyun Villa"

"Shhhhhh

"Shopkeeper, is there a room on the third floor?" Seeing that the shopkeeper already knew his identity, the young man asked softly again.

"Yes, yes, naturally there are. The shopkeeper of Shanzhen House responded with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on the smiling round face of the shopkeeper of Shanzhen Building.

After a moment's hesitation, he leaned his head closer to the young man, and said a few words with his lips slightly open.

"Oh?"

"It seems that I came late today and missed a good show. ”

After listening to the words of the shopkeeper of Shanzhen Building, the young man looked at the location of the east room on the third floor with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and then spoke.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I don't know that brother before, he shouldn't trouble me for no reason, you can open the room in the north to me." ”

Hearing the young man say this, the shopkeeper of Shanzhen Building didn't say anything more.

At that moment, he personally took himself and led the young man and his party to the Beizi room on the third floor.

At the same time, in the Dongzi room, the little girl who was quietly drawing rune paper heard the movement outside the door, and her little ears moved.

"Childe, it seems that someone is here again on the third floor. ”

"Draw a talisman with peace of mind. Xu Ming, who was also drawing rune paper, responded without looking back.

When the little girl heard this, she quickly lowered her head, didn't dare to say anything, continued to draw talismans, and completed today's homework.

Behind the two, Liu Chong, whose internal force had been sealed, was being thrown to the ground by five flowers and fell into a coma.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was already evening, Xu Ming looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, stretched his waist, and stood up from the ground.

After drawing talismans for most of the day, he was a little tired.

After glancing at the little girl who had been resting on the bed for most of the hour, Xu Ming came to the door, ready to ask Xiao Er downstairs to send some food.

As soon as the door was opened, the laziness on Xu Ming's face suddenly dissipated, and he turned his head sharply, and quickly looked at the direction on the right, which was where the room in the north was located.

"Another demon!"
