There were five people sitting in the conference room. In addition to Zhao Dezhu and the foreign girl, there was an old Mediterranean man in his fifties, a fat middle-aged woman, and a sturdy young man in his twenties or eighties.
Fatty could tell at a glance that these five people should have passed the interview long ago, and he was the only one who had just joined the team.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long." Tang Ya said after sitting down: "I invite all the experts to come here today just for one thing. Let's take a look at this video first."
After speaking, he pressed the remote control, and the indoor LCD TV showed a screen projection.
The lights were on in the picture, and a woman wearing pajamas and pajamas was lying on the bed, shaking violently.
The woman's skin was shriveled and her face had more wrinkles than an eighty-year-old woman, but she looked like a young girl.
In the 15-second video, the woman's pupils were dilated and she could no longer call for help. Her wailing was extremely weak. At the 14th second, the screams stopped, she turned into a mummy, and the scene ended abruptly.
The six demon hunters, including Pei Yin, saw different things from the 15-second short video.
Tang Ya wanted this effect. At the end of the video, she asked directly: "Everyone here is an expert. Does anyone know who killed this girl?"
"It's strange, there are no scars on the body surface, it doesn't look like it was drained of vitality and turned into a mummy." The old man with Mediterranean hair style was amazed.
"The cropped pajamas showed no sign of being taken off. The victim was not violated before he died. I have never seen this kind of crime method." said the middle-aged female monk.
"Could it be a wound or bite mark? It's on the back of the neck. It can't be seen from this video angle." The burly young man expressed his opinion.
"Impossible, there is no trace of blood on the bed. If the snow-white sheets are slightly stained with blood, the traces will be obvious." The blonde girl joined the group chat.
"There is a type of monster that is highly poisonous. After entering a house, it forms poisonous gas, which first paralyzes the victim, and then the toxin drains all the life essence from the human body." Zhao Dezhu said.
Tang Ya was noncommittal, feeling disappointed.
The five demon hunters in front of her did not meet her expectations.
She looked at the fat man. This silent demon hunter might have some insights.
Unexpectedly, the fat man suddenly said: "Mr. Tang, can you play the video again?"
Tang Ya was even more disappointed. A powerful city hunter can judge enough information at a glance. This kind of information needs to be read twice, and usually he is not very capable.
She didn't say anything and replayed the 15-second video.
The fat man read it carefully and expressed his opinion: "The victim and the murderer were mouth to mouth, and the essence of their bodies was sucked dry. The murderer is the Spring Cat Demon."
"How can you see it?" the old Mediterranean man asked in a questioning tone.
"What is the Spring Cat Demon?" The foreign girl was very curious.
"The Spring Cat Demon, also called the Spring Cat, comes out every year at the beginning of spring."
"This kind of cat demon can easily fly over walls and walls, and can climb dozens of floors of skyscrapers at night. It is difficult for monitors to capture the trajectory of this thing."
"Like ordinary domestic cats, the Spring Cat Demon makes no sound when walking and enters homes silently to commit crimes."
"The Spring Cat Demon also has the ability to release a breath in a closed space, similar to 'Cats teach spring'. The breath is colorless and odorless, and those who smell it will fall into a state of confusion and infatuation. "
"Have you noticed that in the second second of the video, the victim assumed a 'shoot at me' posture?"
"She most likely thought she had a dream, dreaming that she and Prince Charming did shameful things together."
"When she wakes up, it will be her death."
The fat man kept talking, and finally made a concluding statement: "The beginning of spring this year is February 11th. If I guess correctly, the victim in the video died in mid-February."
Only Zhao Dezhu was not surprised. In his impression, Advisor Pei could always get closer to the truth through some clues.
He analyzed so much just from the victim's "shoot me" posture.
Others didn't think so. The sturdy young man sneered: "It sounds like it's true. Who doesn't know how to make up stories?"
The middle-aged female monk had a sarcastic look on her face: "A few people died in the Xiuxian Villa in mid-February. It has been spread for a long time. This fellow Taoist seems to be 'good at pinching and calculating'. I'm afraid it's not an open-book exam, right?"
At this time Tang Ya spoke: "Ms. Li Xiuqin, Mr. Xie Bo, you two can go."
"Mr. Tang, what do you mean by this?" The middle-aged woman Li Xiuqin's expression dropped.
"I have something to say first, everyone needs to undergo an interview."
"This video just now is your interview."
"Each monster hunter specializes in different fields. I can't find any clues from the video. I don't blame you."
"but……"
When Tang Ya said this, she emphasized her tone: "I want to form a team. The most important thing for a team is cohesion. Some people can't find clues on their own and treat others as fools. My team doesn't need such people."
Li Xiuqin's face was livid, and she felt that Tang Ya just had to say, "I think there is something wrong with you two's character."
Xie Bo couldn't keep his face off anymore and walked away on the spot.
The eliminated man and woman dare not speak out in anger. They cannot afford to offend the eldest lady of the Tang Sect.
The four people who stayed felt that Tang Ya was unfathomable, and God knew there would be several rounds of tests ahead.
The female president eliminated the two people on the spot, but remained calm as she continued: "The victim in the video is named Sun Xiaomei, an eighth-level spiritual monk. This is the last scene before her death."
"She used to live next door to me. On the night of February 14, around 11:35, I heard screams coming from next door. When I rushed to the balcony, I saw a black shadow coming out of the balcony next door."
"As Mr. Pei said just now, that thing walked silently and at an alarming speed. It disappeared from my eyes in the blink of an eye."
"I called the police on the spot, and then flew to the balcony next door. I originally wanted to rush in to save people, but I saw Sun Xiaomei's appearance before she died."
"This video was taken by me."
Hearing this, the old man from the Mediterranean spoke: "Mr. Tang, you are a master of the Dharmakaya Realm and have extraordinary eyesight. Can you see the appearance of the black shadow clearly?"
Tang Ya said: "At a quick glance, I saw clearly enough that the thing had the head of a cat and was wearing a black uniform. It looked like the black cat sergeant in the cartoon."
"Could it be the black cat messenger under the throne of the Nine-Life Demon King?" The old Mediterranean man was shocked.
"Senior Gu, do you know anything about the black cat messenger?" Tang Ya asked.
"It's not that I know much about it, I've heard a little bit about it. It is said that some monsters who have opened up their spiritual intelligence like to play the role of ancient monsters. In young people's terms, it is called cosplay. There are monkey monsters who play the role of the Monkey King, and there are cow monsters who make The Bull Demon King is dressed up, and the Pig Demon is pretending to be Zhu Bajie. The Black Cat Messenger has killed detectives, put on a black uniform, and plays the role of the Black Cat Sheriff."
"Five years ago, this monster committed a crime at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and was injured by a Taoist priest. After the monster was injured, he shouted, 'I am the messenger of the Nine-Life Demon King.' His words shocked the Taoist priest, and the black cat messenger escaped overnight."
"Then a strange thing happened. The body of the Taoist priest named Qingxuan was found seven days later. There were hundreds of scratches on his body. It was a way of killing prey by cats."
"There are rumors in the world that the nine-life demon kings are extremely vindictive. If they offend one, they will offend the whole family. Taoist Qingxuan is a disciple of Ziyang Zhenren, so he still cannot escape that disaster."
Senior Gu is worthy of being an old Jianghu and speaks eloquently.
After a pause, the old man made a turn: "Mr. Tang, it is my duty to kill demons, but the nine-life demon kings are capable of killing people all over the house, and their methods are extremely cruel. I advise you to think twice before you act. I My grandson has just been born. The older I get, the less courageous I am. I really don’t have the confidence to involve my family. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you. Please take my leave."
