"Impossible!" Zhou Xiaolin said with a puzzled look, "They are doing business in Kyoto. Could it be that those people would choose to do it in Kyoto? This is the emperor's feet!"
"They are not even afraid of the Demon Slayer Division, and the last few cases were all in Kyoto. The only difference is that there are small artificial lakes near the cases."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few people from the ANBU running towards them in the distance. Seeing this scene, his heart suddenly calmed down.
"I'm coming!"
The two of them looked expectantly at the people rushing towards them. They must have seen the fortune teller.
But just as they were about to approach their location, suddenly, a black shadow emerged from one side, quickly grew in size, and then surrounded the several people from the shadow department inside.
What's strange is that those people didn't notice anything was wrong. They were still walking quickly on the street, trying to get closer to Li Huaiyun.
However, no matter how they move forward, they will return to where they came from within a certain period of time.
All of this was seen by Li Huaiyun on the roof, but the people walking on the street below had no idea that they were still walking forward in circles,
Li Huaiyuan immediately understood what was going on, "The ghost is hitting the wall! The people in the Film Department A are in trouble. They keep spinning in circles. It's obvious that someone is playing tricks."
Zhou Xiaolin immediately became nervous. She was worried that the people from the film department would be trapped in it and be in danger. Those people had been following her loyally.
She said in a panic, "What should we do now? Don't we just go down and save people?"
Li Huaiyun pressed his hands heavily on the protruding stones on the roof, with a stern look in his eyes. If he rushed to rescue him now, he might even be in danger. After all, he still didn't know who made this black shadow.
"This seems to be quite dangerous. We don't know anything about this, so it's not appropriate to just rescue him like this!"
Zhou Xiaolin stood up and said, "If you don't go, I will! It's them who have always protected my safety. This time it's me who will save them."
"If you go like this, there is no guarantee that you will fall into a trap."
"They treat me like a family member, and I can't just watch something happen to them."
Li Huaiyuan's mind started spinning rapidly, and he immediately spoke to calm Zhou Xiaolin, "Be patient!"
"How can you be patient?" Zhou Xiaolin couldn't calm down at all, "They are in danger now."
Li Huaiyuan thought of the things Zhou Xiaolin would summon and draw. If he could use the things in the paintings to conduct investigations, he might be able to explore the situation a little bit.
"Princess, draw a little sparrow and go down below to have a look!"
"We directly..."
Li Huaiyuan roared in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense to me and draw quickly! Follow my arrangements, otherwise you can only watch them die."
Zhou Xiaolin no longer hesitated, directly picked up the brush and splashed ink in the air, and a lifelike sparrow appeared in the air.
She put away the brush, then tapped it lightly with her finger, and a spiritual energy was injected into it.
The little sparrow drawn with ink seemed to be infused with soul, flapped its wings, and then quickly flew to the place shrouded in black shadow.
What was unexpected was that when the little sparrow flew into the place shrouded in darkness, it suddenly exploded and turned into ink, splattering on the ground like raindrops.
The ANBU people suddenly raised their heads and looked around, as if they sensed something.
Upon seeing this, Li Huaiyun determined that they were trapped in the ghost wall and could still feel some subtle influences from the outside world.
He said to Zhou Xiaolin, "Your Majesty, continue to use the sparrow to rush into the shadow and alert the people who trapped the ANBU! I will go directly to find the source of the shadow."
When Zhou Xiaolin heard that he was about to enter a dangerous area, her heart moved and she whispered, "Take care!"
"Well!" Li Huaiyuan was about to leave, but he began to worry about whether this woman would be in danger if he left rashly.
Seeing that Li Huaiyun was not leaving, Zhou Xiaolin asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something wrong?"
"Why don't I call the nearby demon hunters to protect you first?"
Zhou Xiaolin cursed in a low voice, "No need! I can protect myself."
"You are the princess. If something goes wrong... I can't afford it."
"Stop talking so much nonsense. I am here to investigate the case as a Jianghang police officer! Don't confuse me with those unruly and willful princesses. If you have this attitude, then I will save those captured girls by myself. You’re a monster.”
"Okay! Okay! Pretend I didn't say this!"
"Get out of here!"
Under the anger of the other party, Li Huaiyun left the roof. He activated his Qi-gazing technique, looked around, and then quickly approached the place shrouded in black shadow.
He took a deep breath and entered it directly. The moment he entered, the scenery around him suddenly became a little distorted, but it soon returned to normal.
He followed the established route, thinking about the people in the film department, and finally saw those familiar figures at a turning alley. They were Zhou Xiaolin's film department. Judging from the expressions on their faces, and the anxiety The shape is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and it has reached the point of desperation!
At the dark alley, a figure suddenly appeared. They were so frightened that they were covered in cold sweat and shouted loudly, "Who is it? You are pretending to be a ghost here. If you don't show up, don't blame us for being rude."
Li Huaiyun walked out of the shadows. When those people saw it was him, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They clasped their fists and saluted, "It turns out it's you, sir, who surprised us."
"A few uncles were up there just now. When they saw that you hadn't come up, they knew they were in danger, so they came to pick you up."
When they heard what Li Huaiyuan said, they deeply agreed. One of them stepped forward and said, "What the Master said is absolutely true. We have circled here many times without leaving this place. Later we guessed that we must have encountered something evil. "
"You guys must be trying to beat the wall!"
They said in unison, "A ghost beating a wall?"
"Yes! When we were up there, the princess and I could clearly see you. You kept going in circles and you would always come back here."
Li Huaiyuan raised his head and looked at the night sky covered with dark clouds. He knew that this was not a real night sky. "Later, I kept asking the princess to summon sparrows. As long as the sparrows enter this area, they will directly turn into ink." Sprinkle.”
"Oh!" Several people suddenly realized, "It turns out that we felt it was raining in the sky, and it was the princess who used ink to remind us."
Li Huaiyuan whispered, "Now that you know this situation, you should quickly return to the princess!"
One of them was relatively upright and said directly, "Brother, I don't know why you left the princess. Do you know that doing so will put the princess in deep danger?"
"To be honest, I was called down by the princess to follow the traces of the shadow and prevent more people from being limited to ghosts and beating the wall."
"You go to protect the princess first. I'm here to try to see if what the fortune teller said is correct, and then I plan to tell this brother."
"But how are we going to get back?"
Li Huaiyuan pointed to the place where the previous roof was, "Go from this direction, and you can feel the ink falling from the sky, which probably means you are on the right track!"
"No wonder! There's ink falling from the top of your head."
"I have already told the princess that I will always use these inks as a guide."
The other members of the film department immediately left and ran towards the roof over there, fearing that something would happen to the princess.
The man clasped his hands in his hands and told Li Huaiyun what the fortune teller said. These were somewhat similar to what he guessed. However, the fortune teller also said that these people have many heirs, and they all have a child who was born during the Yin time. According to the lunar calendar, one is born at the moment when evil spirits are strongest.
This kind of birth is quite suitable as a sacrifice.
Li Huaiyun was stunned. Could it be that all these arson cases were entirely because of this sacrifice?
He waved his hand, "You hurry up and leave this place to me."
"Okay, you have to be careful too!" They all said in unison, looking at Li Huaiyuan with relief, "Thank you, Master, for coming to the rescue."
"Time is running out, everyone, please leave quickly!" Li Huaiyuan looked around.
Those people immediately ran towards where Li Huaiyuan was pointing. Since there was ink falling from the top, they quickly left the place according to this situation.
Li Huaiyun was alone in this dark and gloomy street. He took a deep breath and looked at the pervasive darkness around him, gradually engulfing him.
For the first time, he felt the darkness and horror of this place.
Li Huaiyuan activated the hard qigong, and then used the qi-gazing technique to search around. The place with the heaviest demonic qi was very close, not far ahead.
He ran along the street. The trees on both sides looked like monsters with teeth and claws. He came to an alley. Standing at the alley, he could feel the suffocating ghostly aura and the heat that was constantly gushing out from the alley. , making him feel extremely hot, and the skin on his face wrinkled, as if he was near a stove
He carried the heat and walked towards the end of the alley. This place seemed quite evil, with different charred shadows appearing on the ground and walls.
Under the scorching flames, those shadows seemed to be squirming slightly, as if they were alive.
Li Huaiyun took a deep breath and felt that the hot air was about to evaporate all the saliva in his mouth. He clenched his fists and continued walking deeper into the alley. Finally, he came to a large house. The surrounding area was desolate and the house was slightly dilapidated. It seemed like no one had been there in a long time.
Houses like this are rare here. He looked at the red lantern hanging high above the door. The door and walls were covered with a thick layer of burnt black liquid.
Li Huaiyun continued to walk forward. Suddenly, a gloomy and sharp voice came from the other side, "Come and play! Big brother!"
This voice was very deep, especially in this dark environment, which made people tremble even more.
Hahaha! Then there was that light laugh that would soon turn into a soft murmur.
Li Huaiyun was disturbed by the sound in his heart. Although the surroundings were quite hot, there was still a feeling of coldness on his back. This extreme contrast made people feel quite strange.
He stood outside the wall, jumped up, and stood on it. He saw several children appearing in the yard, running happily on the grass, and several adults appeared there.
But I could never see the frontal appearance of those figures.
This evil spirit came from the big room in the innermost place. Li Huaiyun followed the wall, bypassed the big yard in front, and went directly to that room.
As he got closer and closer to the room, the soaring demonic aura made him feel more and more frightened. It was hard to imagine that there could be such a powerful demonic aura so close to the Imperial Palace, and no one had noticed it. This makes people feel even more puzzled.
