Chapter 79: Corpse Refining
Jiang Zhou probed: "Could it be your other lover? If so, then you have betrayed me."
Xue Li swung her feet again, not moved at all: "I've said it before, although you are not the same as before, you are not qualified to help me. Don't be impatient, you will know in a few days."
Jiang Zhou heard this and said with some suspicion: "Really? You are not really in love with me, but you actually don't want me to do anything, and you are just using this as an excuse to pester me?"
In fact, he had already had some doubts in his heart.
It was okay that I didn’t understand Sujingsi in the past, but it’s different now.
Would this moody witch really dare to capture just anyone she met on the street and throw him into the Sujing Division as an undercover agent?
Or do we have to get information from Daoyu, a place where even few people in the Sujing Division can get close to?
Is she too stupid, or does she think too highly of herself?
Or is it that the undercover claim is just a cover to hide her ulterior motives?
Jiang Zhou stared at the witch, trying to find any flaws on her face.
Xue Li just laughed sweetly: "Don't try to trick me. The three-month deadline is approaching, and you will know by then."
"Well, I came all the way here to remind you because of our past relationship. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
"That's all I have to say. There's no point in saying more. I'm leaving now. Don't miss me too much."
As soon as the words fell, a green shadow flashed.
Jiang Zhou saw this and shouted, "Hey! Are you going back to Chuyun Tower? I'm telling you, you are mine now, and you are not allowed to let other men touch you!"
“Crack!”
From a distant rooftop, a green shadow fell diagonally, knocked off a few broken tiles, and then disappeared into the air again.
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Zhou saw it clearly and laughed a few times.
Only when he could no longer see the shadow of the witch did he put away the Five Smoke Net.
The clouds and mist disappeared, and Jiang Zhou's face suddenly turned pale.
The relaxation and smile on his face were completely gone.
Only weakness and solemnity remained.
The scene seemed like a scene of flirting between lovers, but who would have thought that it was full of dangerous murderous intent.
It's not that he is possessed by the devil and is not afraid of angering the witch, but he cannot show weakness.
If a disciple of the old ancestor acted submissively in front of a demon woman, or even showed the slightest fear, it might arouse suspicion from the other party.
If he didn't handle it well, even if the witch didn't kill him, she would never leave so easily.
Jiang Zhou originally thought that the evil woman would not dare to reveal her true colors easily in Wujun City, but now it seems that she is much bolder than he thought.
Or, there is something more to rely on.
A stream of pure yang energy flowed through his heart, quickly restoring his consumed blood and energy.
After a while, Jiang Zhou regained his strength. He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried out of the city to the Pylori Valley.
As soon as I arrived at Beidu Bridge, I saw Jin Jiu's figure taking deep steps and shallow steps, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? Are you still afraid of something happening to me? Although the Pylori Valley is an unclean place, the county spends a lot of energy on it every year. If there are demons everywhere, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
Jiang Zhou came forward. Seeing his expression, Jin Jiu smiled and said, "Besides, I am not someone who can be bullied. I have been a demon patroller for so many years, and I have some tricks up my sleeve. Although you have improved your martial arts and are no longer the same as before, you may not be my opponent."
What he said is quite true.
In terms of martial arts skills alone, he may not be stronger than Jin Jiu.
But he is not only good at martial arts.
Jiang Zhou held his arm and said, "Let's go back to the office first. There are many strange things that happened tonight. I'm afraid it's not something we two can handle."
"Why? But was there any accident?"
Jin Jiu didn't ask him about the ghost.
Since Jiang Zhou came back alive, one can imagine what happened to the ghost.
"I have killed the ghost, but this case of Cai Sheng may not be so simple."
Jin Jiu looked serious and asked, "What did you find?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Jiang Zhou is now a bit like a frightened bird. It is the dead of night and he is really afraid that another mysterious demon will show up. He is even more afraid that the demon Xue Li will strike back.
The timing of this witch's appearance is too coincidental.
Her reminder is probably not just about this case of collecting live things.
He now suspected that it wasn't just Cai Sheng's case that was strange.
The monsters we encountered before, the Lianggui, the Painted Skin Ghost, and the White Skeleton Woman, all seemed to have no connection with each other, but there were strange things hidden behind them, and there was some unknown connection between them.
It is even related to this case of rape.
The demon girl Xueli clearly "knew" that she had a magical weapon and a mysterious "master".
But he still said that. If it wasn't to scare him on purpose, it only means that the secret behind it is really very important.
The two quickly returned to Sujingsi.
You Xu had been waiting there, and when he knew that the two of them had returned, he immediately ordered someone to call them to Baijie Hall.
Jiang Zhou told everything that had happened to him before, except for the fact that he had wiped out the evil woman Xue Li.
When You Xu heard that the two men returned empty-handed after searching for the Pylons Valley, he did not show any disappointment, but rather seemed to have expected it.
He was only slightly surprised when he heard about the Skeleton Woman, and immediately sent people to Boguzhai to interrogate her.
Then he pondered and said, "So, those evil spirits really hid in the Pylori Valley. They are really brave..."
"But this is a problem. The Pylori Valley is different from other places. It is a place of great evil and even extremely sinister. Unless we investigate it with human power, all kinds of strange techniques will be ineffective."
"The Pylons Valley is extremely vast and has a complex terrain. Unless the Governor's Office unites the three divisions, it would be difficult for our Sujing Division to accomplish this task, and we cannot possibly spend so much effort on this matter."
"This year's 'purification' has already passed, and there are still several months until next year."
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. Send more demon patrol guards to patrol the outskirts of the city to prevent these ghosts from committing evil again."
Jiang Zhou was slightly stunned when he saw You Xu set the tone in just a few words.
Before, You Xu Mingming attached great importance to this case. He rarely ran around for the case, and he was determined to solve it until it was solved.
Logically speaking, the reaction shouldn't be so calm.
Thinking about the past and the present, Jiang Zhou felt a little depressed.
I'm afraid that You Xu's thoughts and attitude towards this case have changed a long time ago without his knowledge.
Why?
Could it be that, as the witch warned him, this case was so dangerous that even he was afraid?
"Sir, I have another idea..."
Jiang Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to give it a try.
But he did not voice his doubts.
There's no point in saying it without evidence.
And given You Xu's current attitude, he probably won't care, and will not make a big fuss over his words.
If he wants to continue investigating, he may have to rely on himself.
Upon hearing this, You Xu frowned slightly and patiently advised, "Patrol Guard Jiang, this case is indeed outrageous to both humans and gods, but you can't be impatient. Too much is as bad as too little The Pyloric Valley is not an ordinary place. You have been there in person, so you should know it clearly."
Jiang Zhou was not in a hurry and said, "Sir, the Pylori Valley can indeed block the detection of strange arts, but if someone already knows where the ghost cave is, then naturally there is no need for any strange arts."
You Xu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhou said, "May I ask, sir, is the body of the old woman who refined the ghost still there?"
You Xu nodded: "Of course."
The corpses of demons collected by the Sujing Division will be stored in the Sword Prison.
Someone will handle it at a fixed time.
Either destroyed or refined into materials.
Jiang Zhou said: "I have a technique to refine corpses. I can refine the dead into living corpses and use them as my own."
"Since this old woman who refines ghosts can cut off so many things, she is the most likely person to know the whereabouts of those children. If we refine her into a zombie and let her lead the way, we should be able to find those children..."
