For cultivators, due to the existence of spiritual consciousness, day or night has little impact on them. However, as human beings who are accustomed to bathing in the sun, cultivators still follow their usual life practices. Therefore, When night comes, most cultivators will still rest. Even if they can't sleep, they will spend the night on their own cultivation.
I could see the sea through the window. The streets were very quiet late at night. Not to mention people, there were not even a few small animals out and about. The shop Dahai found this time is just opposite the Linghai City Inspection Branch. However, there is a river between them. The river is still very wide. In addition, there are two streets on both sides of the river. Therefore, the distance between the two is still relatively far.
At the level of the sea, this distance is nothing. He can completely teleport across it. However, although teleportation is very convenient and fast, teleportation cannot bring people along. Therefore, if Dahai wants to bring Xiaodu with him, he must use space teleportation. Teleportation seems to be very similar to space teleportation, but in fact the principles are quite different. For Dahai, he can't reach the patrol branch with just one teleport. In fact, the teleportation distance is related to the range that his spiritual consciousness can reach. Therefore, Dahai needs to teleport multiple times to reach it. The destination, but because the teleportation speed is too fast, it feels like the effect of space teleportation to others.
After Dahai arrived at the patrol branch through teleportation, he immediately began to conduct a spiritual scan. After confirming that there was no danger, he spatially positioned the patrol branch, and then used teleportation to quickly return to the shop on the other side of the river. After Xiaodu saw the sea coming back, a happy smile appeared on his face. Dahai nodded towards Xiaodu, indicating that everything was under control. After having spatial positioning, Dahai could use spatial teleportation, open the teleportation gate, and then brought Xiaodu to the inspection branch.
The inspection branch had obviously been cleaned up. Not to mention the bodies, there were no traces of blood or even signs of a fight. After careful inspection, Dahai's heart became heavier and heavier. There were no signs of fighting, indicating that the opponent was completely one-sided in dealing with the patrol members. The patrol members barely made any effective resistance and were all killed by the opponent. To be honest, Dahai felt that if he took action, he might not be able to achieve such an effect. After all, there are quite a few patrol members in a branch, not to mention that there is also a master from the early Mahayana period sitting in charge!
Although Xiaodu had little experience, she was not stupid. So, after she saw the sea and completed the investigation, she took the initiative to ask: "I feel like there has been no fighting here! Are there really so many people dead here? ?」
"Yes, the dead are absolutely real." Dahai nodded and replied, "It's just that there was really no fighting here. I guess that if the team members here didn't suddenly lose their ability to fight, otherwise the opponent was too strong. It was so powerful that the team members had no time to react before they were all killed."
"Is there such a powerful person in this world?" Xiaodu couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"Yes, Lord Ling Emperor can definitely do it." Dahai knew very well that if he knew the time technique, Hao Yun, let alone Lord Ling Emperor, might be able to do it.
"But, Lord Ling Emperor has already gone to the fairy world, and the Fang family has collapsed again. Will there be anyone else in this world who knows the time technique?" Xiaodu's little face was full of doubts.
"If it's not a cultivator of time skills, I really can't think of anyone else. Although I have spatial abilities, I don't think that a cultivator of spatial abilities can do this. In one-on-one situations, I think with the help of Space ability can have a sneak attack effect, but it is absolutely impossible to kill so many people silently." Dahai's words have already fully understood the cultivation of space ability. The person was excluded.
After Dahai's investigation, although no actual results were obtained, Dahai still felt that there was something to gain from this visit. At least Dahai understood one thing. The person who attacked the branch was definitely not a space ability holder, and a time ability cultivator. The possibility is also extremely low. The principle of reasoning is to first eliminate and then leave the answer, even if it is unbelievable, it may be the correct answer.
After returning to the shop, Dahai has always been
I was thinking about what kind of ability could make the team members who stayed in the patrol branch lose their fighting ability all of a sudden, so that they could be easily killed one by one by the intruders!
Xiaodu saw that Dahai had been silent, so she also tried hard to think. As she thought about it, she began to talk to herself. However, she still knew that she could not disturb Dahai, so her voice was very low.
"It's strange, why did someone clean up the entire branch after they attacked it?" Xiaodu muttered softly.
It turned out that after the Linghai City patrol branch was attacked, no one knew it at first. It wasn't until Linghai City's city defense discovered that there was no movement during the usually frequent patrols, so they sent people to inspect the branch, only then did they realize that there was no one in the entire branch. Therefore, the city defense felt that something was wrong and quickly reported it to the higher ups. Soon, the Wu family discovered that the captain of the patrol branch of Linghai City, a Mahayana disciple of the Wu family, had a broken life card. The patrol headquarters soon received the news. Du Tinghan immediately sent people to investigate. The results of the investigation soon came out. The entire patrol branch team members were dead, and no one was left alive.
After becoming a patrol member, everyone must sign an agreement, which is actually a contract of betrayal. When the investigators took out the contracts signed by these team members, they found that the essence and blood on the contracts had faded, indicating that the agreement had lost its effect. It goes without saying at this point that unless the person dies, such a result will not occur. Combined with this, the branch captain's life cards were all broken, and the only possibility emerged, that is, someone attacked the branch, not only killed everyone, but also cleaned up the scene and took away everyone's bodies. , making the patrol branch an empty place.
Dahai had been thinking hard and couldn't think of anything useful. At this time, after hearing Xiaodu's question, his mind moved and he realized something was wrong. "I understand, that's how it is." Dahai slapped his hands and shouted.
Xiaodu was startled by Dahai's sudden loud voice, but when she saw the smile on Dahai's face, she was a little angry, but it immediately disappeared.
"Did you think of anything?" Xiaodu asked in surprise.
"I was inspired after hearing the question you just raised." Dahai replied with a smile, "I think everyone had a preconception at the beginning, thinking that someone could slaughter a branch without anyone noticing. , the person who came here must be very powerful. Therefore, when we thought about it, we unconsciously exaggerated the strength of the person who came here. In fact, maybe they are not as powerful as they imagined."
"Why do you say that?" Xiaodu was a little confused.
"If the other party is really strong enough, he won't have any scruples. He can leave the body behind, which will shock us even more. However, this guy actually took the body away and cleaned up the scene. This shows that people are worried that the corpses left behind will be able to talk and leave some evidence against them," Dahai explained.
"This seems to be normal. Disposing of corpses is very convenient and simple for cultivators anyway." Xiaodu thought for a while and said.
"Yes, normally, if it were me, in order not to reveal my skills, I would dispose of the body directly on the spot. However, this time they did not dispose of the body on the spot. I can be sure that the team members After being killed, the body must have been taken away and disposed of." Dahai said with a very sure tone. .
"Why is this?" Xiaodu became more and more puzzled.
"Because the body is disposed of on site, some evidence will be exposed. For example, if it were me, I don't know the fire magic, so it is impossible to set fire to the body. Therefore, if you want to destroy the body and eliminate traces, you can only take extreme measures. Han Lai freezes the corpse. Although it can destroy the corpse, it will definitely have a certain impact on the environment." Dahai continued to explain, "So, as long as the corpse is disposed of on site, there will be some traces. However, we have inspected the site. Yes, there is indeed nothing left.”
Xiaodu nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand what you mean. In other words, people are worried that the traces of handling the body will also reveal his true identity."
"That's the truth. If the other party is an ordinary cultivator, for example, you can put
If it were a fire or other ordinary means, he would definitely not think of taking the body away and disposing of it. To be honest, it would be troublesome and a little disgusting. "Dahai continued his analysis, "Therefore, my conclusion is that the technique practiced by the person who took action must be extremely special."
When analyzing this point, Dahai's mind came to the mind of the two people who besieged Wu Xingwen at that time. Not only were these two people powerful enough, but they also practiced very special techniques. The mysterious woman practiced electric techniques, and that The man seems to be practicing dark arts. Not only are these two techniques special, but the traces left behind after processing the corpse will be very obvious. In fact, if you don't worry about traces, these two techniques are more convenient and faster than other techniques for processing corpses.
The more Dahai thought about it, the more likely it became that if these two people attacked, they could indeed kill everyone in the branch. However, it seemed impossible to do it quietly.
Dahai asked Xiaodu: "A large-scale electric shock should be able to paralyze a large number of people, but isn't it a bit difficult to use such a big move without being discovered?"
Xiaodu thought for a while and replied: "That's for sure, unless this guy can be invisible, and it can't be an ordinary invisibility skill, it must be a very, very powerful one."
Hearing this, Dahai's heart moved again, and he felt as if he remembered something again. Dahai knew that Hao Yun once had a very powerful invisibility technique, but later, after Hao Yun got used to using the time technique, the invisibility technique was no longer of much use. But for cultivators who don't know the time technique, a good invisibility technique will always have a huge effect, and the better the invisibility effect, the greater the advantage in battle.
In this family-killing incident, since it can be done quietly, in addition to the time and space skills, it is possible to enter the branch without alerting anyone. There is also a possibility that the opponent's invisibility is very powerful. In this way, naturally This guy could also sneak into the branch calmly, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy with one move, thus killing everyone.
The figure of a person became clearer and clearer in Dahai's mind. At some point, the figure of Fairy Prisoner Dragon had firmly occupied Dahai's mind. Dahai muttered in his heart: "Is it the effect of the shadow cloak?"
Dahai had not actually seen the effect of Prisoner Dragon Fairy's shadow cloak. However, he learned from Hao Yun and Wanwan more than once that Prisoner Dragon Fairy could come and go freely with her shadow cloak. Almost no one could. find. In fact, strictly speaking, the Shadow Cloak does not have such great power. In the hands of most people, the Shadow Cloak is not so magical. However, perhaps because of the dark skills, the Shadow Cloak is in the hands of the Prisoner Dragon Fairy. Hao Yun and the others were amazed by the ability to exert their ability as an artifact, and felt that the Shadow Cloak and the Prisoner Dragon Fairy were a perfect match.
