"Sir, how are you? Are you okay?"
"Do you know those two people just now?"
"We just saw... saw you helping one of them..."
After a while, Li Ang left, and Li Ao returned to the road at the entrance of the village and met the others.
Everyone gathered around, asking each other with concern.
But Li Fan didn't explain. He just shook his head and said to them: "You don't have to ask so many questions. Just keep some things in your stomach."
Everyone's hearts trembled. Although many were puzzled and curious, they all agreed: "I understand."
"Okay, after such a long delay, I don't know where those people from the Demon Cult have gone. Try searching around. If you find nothing, go out and wait."
Li Chuan glanced around, saw the moon in the sky, turned around and said to everyone.
He no longer had high hopes of finding Qiao Lin and Chen Dingguan, but after all, they were enemies that threatened the Hou Mansion, and it was impossible to just give up and leave so easily just because they were lazy.
Everyone agreed and went out while being cautious.
After a while, everyone went out and met the people staying outside. Only then did they realize that Qiao Lin and Chen Dingguan had not left at all.
"They have not mastered the power of the Secret Realm, and they have been targeted by the Demon Suppressor's methods. It is unlikely that they will come and leave quietly like those two people.
The only possibility is to stay inside. "
Li Fan felt solemn in his heart, but he thought of what Li Ang warned him before leaving.
At that time, I asked them why they came to this place.
Li Ang answered this way: "There may be a rare treasure related to the flesh and blood of the immortal corpse hidden here.
There are not a few such objects in the world, most of them have been scattered everywhere, but their strange source is actually the same thing.
Such a rare treasure is of great benefit to people who have similar puzzles.
The possibility of fusion and mastery is far greater than that of exotic treasures from other sources. "
"Is the immortal corpse flesh and blood?"
Li Fan almost instantly thought of the giants he had seen in Wangchuan City, and also thought of the power controlled by his great-grandfather Li Jian.
Now he was a bit belatedly thinking about the so-called twenty-four gods, including the source of the eyes and gods that were under his control...
It's the immortal corpse!
Li Ang used the analogy of the great god Pangu transforming into all things from his flesh and blood, indicating that the source of the weirdness in this world is indeed the immortal corpse.
This actually makes some sense.
Whether this is actually the case remains to be explored.
"We suspect that after the night of the Giant Catastrophe, one of them wandered to this place. The giant spider we saw before was transformed by contamination and distortion in this way.
I came here to prevent Emperor Delon from getting it..."
Li Ang was skeptical about Li Ang's words.
But one thing is certain, the giant spider came out of nowhere, and it didn't look like it could be spawned by ordinary weirdness.
Among the secret files owned by the Demon Suppression Division, there are indeed very few such existences.
His words are at least half credible, but he may have hidden something in key places.
But now he has not seen the rare treasure at all, nor has he discovered any clues with his true eyes.
A more reasonable guess is that he has fallen into an alien space. For example, the "Hell" he once went to has a total of eighteen levels.
"If that's the case, there really won't be anything we can do for a while."
The only thing Li Fan can do now is to order more than a dozen elite soldiers to follow him into the treacherous realm again and get out the giant spider's body.
When the Demon Suppressor obtains this object, he can decompose some demon limbs or various derivatives.
But his greater interest now is to explore the source of its weirdness and see if it is contaminated with the weirdness of the Twenty-Four Gods as Li Ang said.
…
"Sir, we have searched everywhere, but we still haven't found any trace of those two people!"
The time soon came the next morning, and Li Ao stayed all night again, waiting for a long time, but found nothing.
The two people seemed to disappear out of thin air and were completely swallowed up by the villa.
"I see."
Li Ao's expression did not change, but he no longer focused his attention here, but on the corpse in front of him.
"Alien"
…
The handwriting formed by the pale firelight appeared in the heart of this person, faintly, with a bloody light.
"Original Essence"
"Sir, this corpse has completely lost its vitality, but there is something strange about the heart. It seems that something has been punched hard by something, and the blood in the whole body has been highly condensed and gathered here.
You see, his ventricles are swollen, his valves are wide open, and his blood seems to have been infected by a strange force..."
The operator who was called in urgently was good at analyzing the dead bodies killed in various strange incidents. After working all night, he came to some conclusions.
Li Chuan said: "I understand."
Soon after, the man on the other side came back to report.
"Sir, a similar situation was found in the spiders. The strange power they possess has a single source. It should be caused by being transformed into a demon after an encounter somewhere. There was no intervention from other forces in the process."
Li Fan turned to look at the leader of the Zhenmo Division: "Can you find out whether it is in this village? Is there any way to lock the target?"
The commander-in-chief replied: "We can't draw a conclusion yet, but our people are already looking for it. I believe we will have a conclusion in a day or two."
Li Chuan nodded and immediately left the matter to them.
At noon, he finally returned to the Hou Mansion and reported the situation to Yang Jue, who had been waiting for news.
Of course, he didn't tell her about how he and his grandfather beat up his father-in-law.
This kind of thing is really a child without a mother. It is a long story, and the explanation involves a lot of secrets that are not suitable for outsiders to know for the time being.
So, he didn't mention it at all.
Yang Ju didn't know there were twists and turns in it, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
But after dealing with Yang Yan, Li Fan asked someone to inquire about the manhunt in the city.
While they were chasing Qiao Lin and Chen Dingguan with great fanfare, the other troops were still busy in the city.
As a result, a group of thieves, big and small, were arrested, but not even a ghost of anyone from the Demon Cult was seen.
During this period of time, the government has launched several operations to clean up, and it has been difficult for people from the Demon Cult to gain a foothold in the Holy Capital.
Those who can take root are not easily swept away.
But what Li Fan was really concerned about was the condition of Emperor Delong. After thinking about it, he simply found an excuse and went to the palace to ask for an audience.
Outsiders thought that he was eager to make meritorious deeds and only wanted to take credit for himself.
However, he is the young Marquis and the consort of the favored Princess Zhuang Ning, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with this.
News soon came from the palace that the audience was allowed to visit.
In this way, those officials, big and small, who worked honestly had to ask him to say more kind words, so as to avoid the guilt of not catching the thief and recovering the rare treasure for the time being.
