Volume 3: Summoning Demons Chapter 61: Dead City
"This Taoist Qinglan is really... powerful." Captain Xia said.
At this moment, they were in the room arranged for them by the Evil-Slaying Division, and their previous communication was not very harmonious.
Taoist Qinglan is a disciple of several senior brothers of Prefect Liang, and is also the real master of Tianlao City.
Like Magistrate Liang, he dominates all matters of the Tianlao City, and infinitely elevates the status of the demon-summoning warriors of the Evil-Sweeping Division.
"There's nothing wrong with militarized management, but if it's carried out by a group of potential lunatics, it will only lead to big problems." Captain Xia said very consciously.
Lu Pancheng once thought about whether he should do this, militarizing management and ruling everyone under his rule with high pressure.
Let them have no time to cause all kinds of ghostly things, and in this way cut off the evil spirits caused by all kinds of bad things.
But this matter was ultimately rejected.
The reason is that militarized management is possible, but the identity of the manager cannot be established.
If he were an ordinary person, his orders would not be recognized by those demon summoners. I can kill you easily, so why should I obey your orders?
Orders given without equal power will only make the problem worse.
However, if a demon-summoning warrior becomes the manager, there will be no problem with command and control, but another problem will arise.
The instability of the summoners themselves makes their orders dangerous.
Militarized management is all about enforcing orders , and orders are everything.
So Governor Liang finally gave up this approach and instead adopted the current approach, where everyone is happy together.
"A certain degree of indulgence may inevitably lead to some evil spirits."
"But under high pressure, ordinary evil spirits are difficult to appear. Once they appear, they will definitely be extremely destructive."
"It's just that there are some things that we really can't say."
Today, the dynasty has collapsed. It is still the dynasty in name, but everyone knows that the court is gone.
Each city became a gathering place, where everyone stayed together and barely survived.
There is no longer any subordinate relationship between the various places. The people of Tianlao City are willing to entertain Lu Bai and others because they are from the same family.
And some of the other party’s words were not wrong.
It was because Lu Pancheng failed to successfully seal the Eye Demon that it escaped.
This makes the current situation of Tianlao City dangerous.
You caused trouble for others and ran to their territory, but instead of helping them, you pointed at others and complained about their faults.
How can you be so shameless?
Captain Xia’s previous conversation with Lu Bai in the reception room was already considered gossiping behind one’s back.
"Let's send someone to collect some intelligence." Lu Bai said, "I always feel that there is something strange about the things in this Tianlao City."
After entering the city, Lu Bai felt that the "death energy" of this city was particularly heavy.
The word "lifeless" is particularly appropriate to describe this place.
The residents come to a specific location on time every day, recite the Sutra of Salvation under the supervision of others, and then start their daily work.
Talk less, contact less, and no matter what happens, don't shout or scream to cause panic. Everything will be resolved by the personnel of the Evil Elimination Bureau.
Whenever a conflict occurs, both parties are at fault and need to be punished.
Under these rules, the city seems to be very harmonious, but it is just an appearance.
"Using violence to suppress various desires is a low-level method." Lu Bai stood up and found an opportunity to ask for various local case documents.
In any case, intelligence must come first.
Unfortunately, Taoist Qinglan is not as easy to talk to as Prefect Liang.
If you want intelligence, I will send someone to deliver it to your door, but don't even think about having the file library opened for you to look at.
That is not something you can see, and there are some things that you cannot understand either.
"Their attitude towards us is defensive."
"But it's normal."
Afterwards, Lu Bai took the information brought by a Taoist boy, watched the boy perform his greetings, and then left.
There is quite a lot of information in that document.
Introduces the many evil powers of Tianlao Mountain.
"The black wind can stir up violent black winds, and most things will be obliterated by that black wind."
"Spiders can control people's minds, and even use them to control more things."
"And Mr. Shadow has always been hiding in the shadows and rarely appears in public. He is also the most mysterious king."
"Half a month ago, someone was suspected to have gone to Tianlao Mountain and made contact with Spider's subordinates."
"But it is not clear whether that person is an eye demon or not, and what happened after the contact."
"And after the contact half a month ago, a battle seemed to have broken out on Tianlao Mountain."
"It seems that there was a conflict between Black Wind and Spider."
All these information gave Lu Bai a basic understanding of Tianlao Mountain.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Eye Demon may have really had some contact with the spider.
"So what should we do specifically?" Someone asked doubtfully, "We can't just attack Tianlao Mountain, right?"
After all, they are outsiders. Although the three great demons on Tianlao Mountain do not get along with each other, if they really attack Tianlao Mountain, these three great demons will undoubtedly unite.
"No, their task for us is to cooperate in defense." Captain Xia took the file and said.
"When Lord Lu Pan sealed the snake, he seemed to have separated something from the snake."
"This results in the Great Snake's ability being greatly restricted."
"In order to lift the seal, one must either have the power to move mountains or destroy the entire Tianlao Mountain."
"Or the sealed thing inside destroyed the seal core that is connected to the earth vein ."
"A snake that has lost some of its abilities cannot do the latter at all."
"Therefore, we must guard the separated things well, and the big snake will definitely not be able to break the seal and get out."
"If the Eye Demon really came here and has some conspiracy."
"Then no matter what this conspiracy is, as long as it wants to unseal the Great Snake, it will inevitably fall on the separated things."
Everyone nodded. This way, the task would be much easier.
"So we just have to wait?"
"No, we'll have something to do soon."
Lu Bai came to the window and looked from afar. He saw a black wind blowing towards this side.
At the same time, under the black wind, there were a large number of evil spirits, rushing towards the Tianlao City with the black wind.
One piece after another, like the tide.
"Everyone, prepare to fight. If this number of evil spirits are allowed to wreak havoc, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lu Bai followed behind everyone, and a thin layer of mist rose quietly.
