"That thing is difficult to deal with."
After a while, Li Fan shook off the evil spirit and temporarily retreated with Ma Hong and Lian Jing, sighing secretly.
In fact, he was not really helpless. He opened a corner of the human world in the treacherous world, sacrificed Old Mrs. Xiao's arm, and gave it a hard blow. It was definitely possible to kill him with one blow.
But what if it can’t be done?
After killing it, how about quickly resurrecting it?
Or maybe there are other demonic cultists lurking in the city, and the Kong family may also use this to plot rebellion, entangled the rich businessmen in the city and coerce the people into rebellion...
These various possibilities were bothering Li Fan, making him hesitate. In the end, he could only watch the other party's figure disappear into the deserted streets.
Li Chuan temporarily retreated and discussed a solution with the two people around him.
"You must have dealt with such evil spirits before. How did you deal with them?"
"In the past, we would have invited alien companions who had the means to move or trap it in various other ways, or we would have gotten the evil spirit out of the city first.
Let's take a look at what local conditions we can take advantage of. If it doesn't work, we can only rely on human life to lure it away.
Fortunately, this evil demon only has strong individual combat power and extremely high level of terror. When it comes to the incident itself, it is no more than evil level at best.
Sir, I have a heart of stone, even if you let this evil monster kill you, you will kill hundreds or thousands of people in one night at most, which is far less urgent than dealing with the cloth demon a few days ago. "
"Yes, after killing everything, it may still linger around, greatly delaying the time to continue killing. Now that the matter is over, let's just make sure it doesn't continue to wander around."
The two strangers, both of whom have considerable experience in handling strange incidents, said this to Li Chuan.
"It seems like this is the best we can do."
Li Ao pondered for a moment and nodded.
"I'll take you out first and ask Zhong Cheng together. It's best to find a suitable place for detention nearby."
…
Just when Li Fan and others broke through the mysterious realm and returned to the real world, in a residential house in the west corner of the city, the scholar Yan Yuandi suddenly woke up from his nightmare and got up with an inexplicable chill.
He was awakened by the sound of heavy objects falling, still feeling a bit surprised and uncertain.
"What was the sound just now? Rats eating?"
Suddenly thinking of those evil demons that wreaked havoc in the city a few days ago, Yan Yuandi's face suddenly showed a hint of panic, and he trembled involuntarily.
"Could it be that there's another cloth demon?"
The trauma caused by the disaster was too serious. Although the disaster of the cloth monster has passed, his neighbors and family were almost wiped out. His mood has not completely calmed down yet.
The moment he thought of this possibility, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and froze up.
But when he saw the two children sleeping soundly on the kang, he suddenly turned resolute, picked up the hatchet not far away, lit the oil lamp, and walked out.
Although the government did not say anything clearly, there were rumors circulating among the people that flames could be used to deal with those evil spirits.
The surviving people in the west of the city like Yan Yuandi could not sleep peacefully. They had to have oil lamps or torches around them to give them a sense of security.
At this moment, I heard the noise outside and went out to check. Naturally, I couldn't live without these guys.
Under the moonlight, the sky and the earth were clear. Yan Yuandi, who came out of the room, could clearly see the scene outside without spending much effort.
What made his face change involuntarily was that there was a person lying in his yard.
"who?"
He asked in a low voice with a hint of trembling, and his two impulses trembled for a moment.
But thinking that his two children were still in the house, he had to move on.
Whether it's a human or a ghost, everything needs to be dealt with.
As a result, not long after, he saw clearly that it was really a person. He couldn't help but feel as if his whole body had been evacuated. He relaxed completely and almost collapsed to the ground.
"I was scared to death. I thought it was an evil spirit..."
But soon, his expression became solemn again.
"How could this person come to my house for no reason?"
Yan Yuandi shined the oil lamp over him and found that he was a middle-aged man with an honest appearance. He seemed to be from a peasant background, and his face and palms bore traces of the vicissitudes of life.
What he didn't know was that this man was Wu Yan, the "mason" who escaped from Li Juan.
Wu Yan's condition at this moment is definitely not good. After hiding everywhere in the city to escape the pursuit of the government, the strange power in his body broke out. The demonization has long been irreversible, and he has reached the point where there is no way to save him.
For this reason, he ventured back to the west of the city, preparing to find some empty houses here to rest temporarily. However, he did not expect that the government would organize personnel to investigate and force him to move around.
This time, before he could check on the family, he fainted due to the injury.
No one knew that in such an almost ridiculous situation, Wu Yan, the great protector of the demon sect and the "mason", suffered from injuries due to being tired and hungry, exhausting his already exhausted vitality.
He was no longer able to control the weirdness on his body, and the weird brown light condensed and turned into a stone bead the size of a bull's eye, shaped like a pebble.
Yan Yuandi squatted down and wanted to wake him up, but he inexplicably touched the stone beads rolling down from his palm.
"what?"
Yan Yuandi grabbed it in a daze, but before he could see it clearly, he felt his hand was empty and it disappeared into thin air.
Without even realizing it, he successfully controlled the rare treasure that had been released from the body of "mason" Wu Yan.
He had no idea what had just happened, but he was extremely panicked about the fact that "the thief slipped into his yard, stepped on the ground, and fell to death on the spot". He quickly helped the other person up and said hurriedly with tears in his voice: "Brother, wake up. , wake up quickly!
Please don’t die, at least don’t die in my house! "
Thinking of all the troubles that might follow, he almost knelt down in front of the other party.
What's going on, people are sleeping at home, and pots come from the sky?
If he could let the other person die outside by kneeling down, he would definitely not care about a man having gold under his knees.
Fortunately, after a while, he suddenly remembered that because of the cloth monster incident a while ago, the government sent many officers and soldiers to patrol, and even civilian areas like theirs were much more heavily guarded than before.
It must be because of this that the thief panicked and fell to his death under the wall of his own courtyard.
"Report to the official...yes, report to the official quickly!
There must be night patrols outside, and they can make it clear if they report to the officer in time. "
As a scholar, it is natural and reasonable to trust the court and the government.
He quickly wrapped up his clothes and hurriedly ran out with a lantern.
