"If this demon has an amazing talent and can master the spiritual arts before the mutation and use spiritual arts to cover up the demonic energy, then it makes sense." Meng Yu expressed his opinion.
The face-eating ghost is just a second-level deformed demon, with a similar level of cultivation as Li Xiangwen.
In this situation, the only possibility is to cover up the demonic energy.
Although ordinary demons cannot perform human spiritual magic, there are exceptions to everything.
It is also possible that among the thousands of monsters, some strange monsters will appear.
"According to your statement, this demon deliberately led the demonic energy here to mislead the direction of our investigation?" Li Xiangwen asked after a moment of thought.
"Yes, her body must have left from other directions!" Meng Yu nodded.
"We should allocate manpower to search around. We should be able to find traces of her within a radius of five or ten miles. She thinks that the misdirection was successful, and she may not continue to cover up her presence after escaping."
Li Xiangwen's eyes lit up: "Your guess is very reasonable."
"It's just that it's too reasonable!"
Meng Yu was stunned and asked in confusion: "It's so reasonable. Is there any problem?"
Li Xiangwen nodded: "There is a problem!"
"Your thoughts may have been guessed by the demon!"
"It is deliberately trying to make you guess in this most reasonable direction!"
"Then, it took the opportunity to leave under our noses without knowing it!"
Meng Yu is not stupid. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood!
"Could it be? It's dark under the lamp!"
Li Xiangwen nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's just dark under the lamp!"
"It deliberately led the evil spirit to Qinglin Temple, and then returned to Qinglin Temple on its own!"
"Darkness under the light is the safest at certain times!"
"Most people will be misled and fail to notice this!"
"If we disperse the investigation and ignore the people from Qinglin Temple, it can take the opportunity to escape back to the city!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Once they enter the city, it can cover up their aura. Where can we trace it?"
"So, I think there is a high probability that this monster is hiding in Qinglin Temple!"
Meng Yu looked at Li Xiangwen with admiration: "As expected of Master Li!"
"If Master Li wasn't here, let this monster escape!"
Meng Yu is telling the truth. This is an important experience in hunting monsters!
Li Xiangwen smiled slightly: "You are also very good. Without your reminder, I might have to think about it for a while before I can figure this out."
"Now let's go back to Qinglin Temple. This monster only showed its traces after four months. We must not let it escape again!"
After Li Xiangwen finished speaking, his figure flashed.
"Wait a minute! Master Li!" Meng Yu suddenly felt something in his heart and shouted quickly.
He didn't have time to catch Li Xiangwen, because the other party was too fast and had already jumped into the monk's house as he spoke.
"What?" Li Xiangwen turned back in surprise.
Meng Yu's words were very hasty, and he probably stopped him because he noticed something strange.
"Master Li, did this face-eating ghost commit a crime every four months before?" Meng Yu felt that he had discovered something important.
"No." Li Xiangwen shook his head.
"The previous four crimes were committed every two months or so. Only this time, the interval was four months."
When Meng Yu heard this, he felt even more sure!
"Master Li... I think this face-eating ghost may have been promoted to the third level of underworld transformation!" Meng Yu said with a solemn expression.
"What's the basis?" Li Xiangwen didn't question Meng Yu. He felt that Meng Yu was very smart and might have discovered some important information.
"Ordinary serial killers... Oh, the monsters who commit serial crimes, they can't suppress the bloodthirsty desire in their hearts!" Meng Yu had seen many movies about serial killers in his previous life, including CSI Season 15.
He still knows something about the psychological characteristics of serial killers.
He knows that serial killers have certain patterns in their abnormal psychology.
When the time comes, the abnormal psychology must be vented. If not vented, they may go crazy.
According to what Li Xiangwen said, the face-eating devil's first four crimes were all committed once every two months.
It shows that two months is the longest time it can be suppressed.
"..." Meng Yu slowly told Li Xiangwen some characteristics about serial killers.
"If the time rules are changed, it means that something unexpected happened during this period..."
"Or, two months ago, it committed a case, and the Demon Slayer Division did not discover that case..."
"Or, in the past four months, it has been improving its cultivation level and has no time to commit crimes!"
"These two possibilities are great!"
Li Xiangwen looked at Meng Yu doubtfully.
Although the Yamen police officers also recorded the characteristics of the murderers who committed serial crimes, those records were not as... mysterious as Meng Yu said!
Just because of the wrong timing of one crime, it would be unreasonable to think that the Face-Eater Demon has advanced to a higher level of cultivation...
but!
What if Meng Yu was right?
Li Xiangwen was shocked!
If Meng Yu is right, then as a spiritual master, he would be asking for death if he went to trouble the Face Eater Ghost!
When the face-eating ghost is angered, not only he may die, but also spiritual men such as Meng Yu and Zhang Xiaoyue, as well as the policemen and monks of Qinglin Temple, etc., all of them may die in the hands of the face-eating ghost!
The third realm of ghostly demons is equivalent to the third realm of spiritual cultivation. It is impossible for one spiritual master plus four spiritual masters to deal with it!
Li Xiangwen's face was uncertain, he was hesitating.
"Master Li, why don't we send a signal and ask the Demon Slayer Division to send spiritual cultivators from the third realm to handle this matter." Meng Yu said in a low voice.
"Although the probability is only 30% to 40%, but... it is important to save your life!"
Li Xiangwen suddenly asked: "Where do you see these... characteristics of a serial killer?"
Meng Yu answered calmly: "I was born a businessman. Before I became a spiritual practitioner, I liked to read some miscellaneous books."
"I don't remember which miscellaneous book I read about them. I thought these features were very useful, so I wrote them down."
"Some of those miscellaneous books are cases recorded by autographers, and some are written by police officers."
"I think there is not much difference in other characteristics between ordinary serial killers and monsters, except for their spiritual power."
Li Xiangwen was silent.
Miscellaneous books written by ordinary gangsters and police officers...
In principle, such a reference is of little significance.
However, the possibility is still there!
If Li Xiangwen was the only one, he probably wouldn't think about it so much.
Now, the lives of the entire Qinglin Temple, as well as Meng Yu and four other spiritual warriors, all depended on his thoughts.
He had to be cautious!
Finally, he made a decision.
Li Xiangwen reached into his arms with his left hand and took out a small paper crane. The spiritual power of his right index finger surged and he clicked on the paper crane's eyes.
The little paper crane took off and flew quickly towards Myanmar City.
