"The problem lies with the villagers."
"Their condition is very strange, but it's hard to explain..."
Ma Xiaotao murmured.
"..."
Su Luoheng frowned slightly.
The feeling Ma Xiaotao described was the same as her own: although after her own reasoning, she was able to determine that there was a problem in this village, she was unable to do anything about it for the moment.
Originally, Su Luoheng speculated that they were controlled by the evil soul master.
But these villagers are consistent with ordinary people in their actions, demeanor, and other behaviors. Busy with their own things. No unusual behavior. It's not like being controlled. This made his mind waver.
"..."
Just as he was thinking about it, Su Luoheng's eyes turned.
Once again it fell on the villagers below.
"Su Luoheng——"
Ma Xiaotao turned around and was about to speak.
But he was interrupted by Su Luoheng's gesture.
At this moment, Su Luoheng's eyes were slightly focused, his hands were rubbing his temples, and he was deep in thought. It looked like he had discovered something.
"..."
Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao waited in silence.
"I see……"
For a moment, Su Luoheng's eyes suddenly cleared and he murmured.
Apparently, he had discovered something.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao asked.
"What did you find?"
"Listen carefully."
Su Luoheng pointed to the villagers below and lowered his voice.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaotao looked confused.
"Listen carefully to the heartbeats of the villagers below."
After a short pause, Su Luoheng stared at Ma Xiaotao, his eyes flickering.
"I think that with your Soul Saint-level soul power cultivation, your hearing should be dozens of times stronger than that of an ordinary Soul Master."
"If you listen carefully, you should be able to hear it."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao followed Su Luoheng's reminder.
After listening carefully for a while, he looked back at Su Luoheng with doubts on his face.
"But...why didn't I hear anything?"
"..."
Su Luoheng was not surprised by this.
Instead, he showed an expression of anticipation.
Obviously, he had already guessed this result.
Moreover, Ma Xiaotao's proof further confirmed the inference.
"That's the biggest problem!"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly.
The villager under Su Luoheng's finger said in a deep voice.
"With your Soul Saint level cultivation, you can't hear the heartbeat of an ordinary person. Is this normal? Or...under what circumstances would you not be able to hear the heartbeat of an ordinary person?"
"You mean!!!"
Ma Xiaotao's pupils trembled, and her eyes were completely unbelievable!
"Um."
Su Luoheng nodded slowly and continued.
"In addition, the evil soul master still retained this village and reacted abnormally even though he knew the coordinates here. There must be something wrong with it."
"..."
Immediately, Su Luoheng talked about his previous speculation.
At the same time, Ma Xiaotao's expression changed from stunned and shocked at the beginning to gradually starting to think seriously. And as she went further, the expression on her face became more serious.
Ma Xiaotao also often dealt with evil soul masters.
Therefore, she, who is also familiar with the nature of evil soul masters, naturally understands the problem pointed out by Su Luoheng: a village that has been visited by evil soul masters several times still maintains peace and tranquility.
It is unnatural for the phenomenon to be so abnormal and obvious.
Therefore, if Su Luoheng continues to deduce, there must be something wrong with this village and the villagers below. Behind them, there is most likely an evil soul master.
and……
Although they behave just like ordinary people...
But when a soul master faces ordinary people, his perception is never wrong. Therefore, those villagers who cannot feel their heartbeats are most likely no longer in the category of "human beings".
"If that's really the case..."
"Damn it, damn evil soul master!"
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
But soon, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
After all, I have dealt with evil soul masters a lot, and I am already familiar with their cruelty and bloodthirsty. Although anger is inevitable, it is important not to lose your cool.
Ma Xiaotao looked at the village below with a cold voice.
"One day, I will kill them all."
In response, Su Luoheng shook his head.
"That's very difficult to do."
"..."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao fell into silence.
At the same time, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
How difficult it is to deal with evil soul masters. As a member of the Shrek Prosecution Team, Ma Xiaotao, who often deals with evil soul masters, has the most say in this regard.
Let’s not talk about combat for now.
In terms of escaping and hiding, it is definitely second to none.
Although the Shrek Prosecution Team has continuously attacked and suppressed evil soul masters over the years. But from the fact that evil soul masters are still active on the mainland, we can see how difficult it is to deal with evil soul masters.
"They are like rats in the gutter, cunning and difficult to deal with."
Ma Xiaotao sighed softly, with a rather depressed tone.
"Not only that, the emergence of the evil soul master is also a problem."
"Um?"
Ma Xiaotao raised her eyebrows.
Su Luoheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly.
"Your Shrek Academy has existed for ten thousand years, and there should be many books in it that record issues about evil soul masters, right? At that time ten thousand years ago, there were no real evil soul masters in Douluo Continent. "
"At most, it is a soul master with a dark heart, or the martial soul has a dark attribute. And this may only lead to negative emotions, and will not play a decisive role in the soul master's fall into evil."
"Just like the Bone Douluo from the Qibao Glazed Sect, it would be difficult to draw a clear line between the Bone Dragon Spirit and the evil soul master in today's era. But ten thousand years ago, this senior was a member of the Qibao Glazed Sect. Serving the elders. It has nothing to do with the evil soul master."
"There is also Ghost Douluo, who was from the same era as Bone Douluo. If the ghost martial spirit were placed in today's era, he would definitely be an evil soul master."
"However, at that time, although Ghost Douluo acted in a dark way, he was not dependent on killing, and he even became the elder of the Wuhun Palace, the number one force in the mainland."
"They are all revered and admired by countless soul masters. Although martial souls have dark attributes, they are not bloodthirsty. They still practice like normal soul masters and have no connection with evil soul masters."
"It can be seen that 10,000 years ago, darkness is not the same as evil. The boundary between the two is clear. However, today, 10,000 years later, martial spirits that are truly evil in nature have been born. They are like savage beasts that have sprung up after rain. It grows in endlessly, and no matter how hard you kill it, you can’t kill them all.”
"Not only that, the originally clear-cut boundaries between evil and darkness have become increasingly blurred in today's era. And those pure dark-attributed martial souls are becoming more and more likely to degenerate into evil soul masters."
"So, something must have happened in the past ten thousand years to cause this phenomenon to appear. The sudden appearance of the evil soul master must have its roots!"
"If we don't solve this root cause, we have to kill all the soul masters, and even all humans. Otherwise, it is impossible to completely cut off all evil soul masters."
Tang Shenwang: Don’t cue, I have no melons to rain (jpg.)
"..."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao fell into silence completely.
Such a comparison makes the mood even heavier.
Never before had Su Luoheng been so thorough and analyzed things so clearly and thoroughly. After this analysis, we discovered how difficult it is to eliminate evil soul masters.
"No matter what, let's take care of the present first."
After a short pause, Su Luoheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The most urgent task for you and me now is to find out the details of the evil soul masters inside. Although they are hiding, they will definitely show their flaws as long as there are problems."
"..."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded in agreement. Now that it has been confirmed that this place cannot escape the relationship with the evil soul master, then according to her character, it will definitely not stop here.
However, the strength of the enemy and ourselves is currently unclear. First, it is necessary to determine the general strength and number of evil soul masters in the entire village. Only in this way can the next tactical strategy be arranged and the next action taken.
then--
After some discussion, Su Luoheng and Ma Xiaotao decided to divide their troops into two groups to investigate the situation in the village. Wait half an hour and then meet here to exchange information.
Of course, the investigation must be carried out secretly, and no one can be alerted.
…
…
At this moment, the night is dark.
The village is dark and silent at night, and the moonlight pours down like mercury, falling on the village and the woods, coating the originally dark night with a faint layer of fluorescence.
The plan has been decided.
So, the two started investigating in the dark night.
Ma Xiaotao then left first to explore the truth.
The Shrek Prosecution Team often deals with evil soul masters, so they naturally have special detection methods for them. They are all veterans in this field, so there is no need to worry about whether she is exposed.
And the other side.
Su Luoheng arrived near the village quietly.
This is a small hill about a hundred meters away from the village. Su Luoheng is surrounded by woods and shrubs, scattered high and low, and chaotic. It's a good location where it's easy to hide.
"..."
Su Luoheng looked around and observed the situation.
It's dark now.
Most of the villagers have gone back to their houses to rest, with only a few still staying outside. It looked like they were wandering around the village, but a cordon was vaguely formed.
Generally speaking, in a remote village like this, in order to guard against attacks by spirit beasts or other dangers, villagers would arrange to keep vigil. But this kind of strict security method is obviously not something that an ordinary village can deploy.
If you want to explore the reality of the evil soul master in the village, this cordon composed of villagers is the first problem that needs to be faced. If you go straight in, you will definitely attract the attention of the evil spirit master.
but--
For Su Luoheng:
This cordon serves no purpose.
Because his detection method is very simple: just stand here and activate the soul bone skill Future Vision to get the information you need. There is no need to sneak into the village at all.
The reason why they agreed to Ma Xiaotao's proposal to move separately was to facilitate the use of future vision exploration.
"..."
Then, Su Luoheng stared with his eyes and activated his soul skill.
As soon as he opened his vision of the future, the clock pattern intertwined with gold and silver appeared in Su Luoheng's eyes again. The targets of the soul skills are the villagers below.
The first thing to explore is their past.
This is also to verify Su Luoheng's previous speculation.
However, as the future vision was turned on again, the coordinates that should have appeared in his mind turned into pitch black at this moment, without any pictures. It's like future vision has failed.
"..."
Su Luoheng frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
Immediately, he looked at the other villagers.
However, the final result was without exception: the past coordinate information of any villager seen in the future vision was all pitch black in Su Luoheng's mind.
Obviously, there is no problem with [Future Vision].
Its effect has been proven previously when obtaining coordinate information.
But if it's not a problem with soul skills, then the problem can only lie with the villagers who are the objects under observation. And a person cannot be observed into the past, which can only mean...
The future is over.
The clock pattern in his eyes faded away.
The results are now basically clear.
Therefore, it may be difficult to save these villagers. They may even have died a long time ago... The bodies that are still moving now are just controlled by the evil soul master.
"..."
Looking at the villagers, Su Luoheng had complicated eyes.
Although when they discovered that there was no heartbeat, they had already prepared for the worst for the outcome of these villagers. Just thinking that they still have sanity, there is still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
"What if... we can be saved?"
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng took a deep breath.
Immediately, a bright golden light appeared in his eyes, and those mysterious eyes of fate opened again. Golden light flows in the eyes, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura.
Su Luoheng's Eye of Destiny.
Possessing the ability to predict destiny and observe the world line.
After absorbing a large amount of space-time silver plate projections and fusing the power of time in the skull of eighty thousand years of time, Su Luoheng's Eye of Destiny finally completed its second evolution.
And the soul skill obtained this time has future vision.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is equivalent to a skill of Eye of Destiny. Just like the detection soul skills of Spirit Eyes and Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, they exist based on the Eye of Destiny.
The Eye of Destiny can naturally observe the personal world line.
In terms of determining life and death, the world line is more concrete than what can be seen with future vision. So Su Luoheng now wants to use the Eye of Destiny to observe the world lines of the following villagers to determine life and death.
soon--
Lines of golden threads then appeared in front of Su Luoheng's eyes and slowly extended, representing their lives. But at the next moment, all the golden threads were broken almost at the same time!
Their world line came to an abrupt end.
At the same time...it also means that their lives are over.
The observation results of the Eye of Destiny are already clear.
Everything was just as Su Luoheng speculated: these people had died long ago, and their bodies were manipulated by evil soul masters in a special way, so they were no different from ordinary people.
Things have come to this, and he can't change anything.
"They are all dead..."
Even though he had expected the outcome, Su Luoheng still sighed.
As the golden light faded from his eyes, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.
"..."
After a long silence, Su Luoheng raised his head again, his eyes filled with coldness and solemnity. He can't change what happened in the past, but now that he has met them, let's help them seek justice!
