Mizuki Takemiya walked alone on the street.
Ever since the last time she visited Sakura Apartments and saw Xu Shenxing, she couldn't calm down — even if she didn't know why she was so restless.
Even if she asked the consortium's internal forces to secretly investigate the other party, the only reply she received was that the other party was an ordinary person. But if she wanted to go further, she would receive a warning from Huaxia officials. Several people from the consortium were even arrested by the Huaxia police for the crime of stealing classified information. After spending a lot of money to get them out of jail, Mizuki Takemiya naturally wouldn't do such a useless thing again.
Of course, this basically confirmed that the man named Xu Shenxing, who was classified as a secret by Huaxia officials, was not the ordinary person written in the investigation report.
"Ah, ah, doing such a thing without permission. Miss Hanakuin will definitely nag me for a long time later."
Mizuki Takemiya smiled bitterly and muttered.
Because the irritation in her heart couldn't subside, the girl quietly slipped out of the presidential suite she was temporarily staying in and strolled alone on the street. It was normal for Miss Bodyguard to be angry for doing such a willful thing.
But now, she just wanted to be alone for a while. Maybe some people felt the same way. When one was feeling restless, sitting alone in an empty room couldn't alleviate the uncomfortable feeling. On the contrary, going out for a walk alone would slightly improve one's mood.
The afternoon sun shone on the street. It was still winter, but it was unexpectedly warm.
Mizuki Takemiya had been in Huaxia for a while, but because she had taken the car to Jiang Jin University and Sakura Apartments, it was the first time she walked on the street. The subtle differences between the streets and Japan made the girl curious and new.
This also greatly eased the irritation in the girl's heart, and a smile returned to her face.
Although I've already mentioned it before, I'll reiterate it here. As one of the big sisters of Huang Hua Women's Academy, Mizuki Takemiya is undoubtedly a beauty above average. Even though Xu Shenxing has been bombarded by the aesthetic fatigue of various otherworldly beauties, he still can't help but admit that the other party is at least a 7 on his scale of 10.
With a smile on her face, her unsmiling and aloof aura had faded a lot, making the girl seem more approachable. Although it was hard to say which of the two qualities scored higher, compared to the situation before when most men did not dare to look at her too much because of their inferiority, the girl's rate of turning heads was shockingly high now. Even many women would subconsciously take a few more glances at her, and their eyes revealed a hint of envy.
Perhaps realizing that she was too eye-catching, the girl began to consciously walk to a slightly more remote place.
Just as the young girl strolled to the entrance of a certain alley, a petite figure suddenly rushed out from inside and bumped into her.
Caught off guard, Mizuki Takemiya was naturally knocked down, but the little fellow who bumped into her also fell to the ground.
"Woah, why is there a meatball outside!"
The little fellow whose height only reached Mizuki Takemiya's chest couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Meatball?!" Mizuki Takemiya's cheeks flushed red, and she crossed her arms to block her chest.
Then she slowly got up, and had the time to observe the little fellow who bumped into her.
The little fellow looked to be less than ten years old, and from her appearance, she looked like a normal East Asian, but her facial features were very regular, and there was a sense of exquisiteness unique to mixed-race children. At this moment, her face that still had some baby fat was filled with astonishment, obviously she didn't expect that after rushing out of the alley, she would be hit with a face wash …
If Earth Goddess Loli was here, she would probably be surprised to find that the little girl's facial features were very similar to her 'missy'.
Then Mizuki Takemiya frowned slightly. The clothes on the little girl's body were too big for her body, and not only that, they were also dirty, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as tattered. If she had to describe them, they were no different from a rag.
Could this little fellow be a beggar?
No, how could a beggar's face and other exposed skin be so clean?
Mizuki Takemiya couldn't help but feel a little worried about some of the bad rumors about Huaxia. Could this be a new scam?
For someone of her status, this kind of scam wasn't too difficult to deal with. After all, even in modern society, when the accumulation of capital reached a certain level, there would naturally be some privileges that surpassed ordinary people. Scams such as scams might be difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but for the privileged class, killing those scammers was as easy as crushing an ant.
However, Mizuki Takemiya had sneaked out this time. If she really needed to use the financial resources and manpower of the Feimiya Financial Group, then this escape was bound to be exposed, and she would definitely be caught by the Hanakoin. She probably wouldn't have another chance to sneak out again …
"Sorry, I didn't hurt you, right?" However, it seemed that she was overthinking. The little girl who fell to the ground immediately got up, bowed to Mizuki Takemiya, and seemed to intend to continue running. "Although I'm sorry, I have to get out of here quickly, so if you have anything to say, say it later!"
"Where are you going?" Mizuki Takemiya, who knew that he had misunderstood the other party, couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know!"
"Huh?" Mizuki Takemiya was dumbfounded.
The little girl was silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "I can't remember anything … But I didn't forget 'I have to get out of here quickly'."
Did she lose her memory? But judging from the impact just now, it didn't seem to be that powerful? She didn't hit her head either …
After hesitating for half a second, Gong Ruixi, who was the leader of the consortium, in a sense, could be considered decisive, immediately made a decision.
"As long as she 'gets out of here', there should be no problem, right?"
She decided to take the little girl to see a doctor.
"Yeah, that should be the case." The little girl nodded.
"Then there should be no problem."
So, Mizuki Takemiya took a taxi and left the street with the little girl.
Although the ultimate goal was to see a doctor, before that, Mizuki Takemiya planned to let the little girl change out of the tattered clothes on her body.
No matter what, he couldn't let the little girl go to the hospital dressed like it was her last time, right?
So half a day later …
"Is this really okay?"
The little girl changed her clothes from inside to outside. Now, the first reaction of most people when they saw her was no longer a little beggar, but a child of a rich family.
Because the little girl had a good foundation, after dressing up, she suddenly became a lot more beautiful. She was like a porcelain doll that made people want to love her.
The passers-by were much friendlier than before, making the little girl, who was still carrying the plastic bag, feel a little flattered. She even trembled a little as she stuttered to thank Mizuki Takemiya.
"There's no problem, just treat it as my compensation for knocking you down."
Mizuki Takemiya didn't care. After all, the money to buy clothes and other clothes was nothing to her.
Maybe it was because he was more familiar with this noisy little girl, after walking for half a day, Mizuki Takemiya found that his mood was a lot better.
"Huh? But it seems like I knocked you down … "
"Don't worry about this kind of small matter."
If this was a nurturing game, there would probably be notifications like 'Rui Miyagi's lolicon level has increased' in the game's backend.
From this point of view, it was not difficult to understand why Xu Shenxing felt a sense of closeness to Mizuki Takemiya, who was almost a stranger to him …
However, Mizuki Takemiya originally sneaked out, so he didn't have much cash on him. Moreover, he had high standards and wouldn't buy relatively cheap goods from stalls. So, when he bought clothes for the little girl, he had to use the black card that he carried with him.
With the black card's usage information and cash flow information, Wu Yejin and the others would soon realize that he was not in the hotel.
Sure enough, it was better to get the little girl to the hospital as soon as possible.
So, Mizuki Takemiya held the little girl's hand and walked toward the hospital. When she was taking a taxi earlier, she specially chose the commercial street that was relatively close to the hospital through the map on her phone.
After a few steps, Mizuki Takemiya seemed to find that the little girl seemed to be drooling at the cake displayed in the window of a dessert shop by the roadside.
She looked at the time displayed on her watch and found that it was almost noon, so she simply asked the little girl, "How about we go in and have lunch before going to the hospital?"
Naturally, the little girl's excited response was naturally the little girl's excited cheers.
Mizuki Takemiya wasn't particularly fond of sweet things, so she only ordered a matcha cheese. At first, the little girl wanted to order the same thing as her, but she was persuaded by Mizuki Takemiya's words that "different flavors can be exchanged." In the end, she finally ordered strawberry cheese.
When the cake was served, the little girl tasted the Imperial Concubine's cake. In the end, she naturally put on a bitter face and stuck out her small tongue, "Oh, it's not sweet, it's a little bitter …"
That cute and innocent expression made Mizuki Takemiya say in her heart, "Thank you for your hospitality."
Obviously, neither Mizuki Takemiya nor the little girl took the saying of "don't talk while eating" to heart. While eating the cake, they chatted. Basically, it was the little girl talking happily, while Imperial Concubine listened with a smile on her face. She only interjected a sentence occasionally.
"Is your memory still blank?" As they chatted, the topic of the conversation turned to the little girl's memory. Imperial Concubine asked with concern, "Can't you remember anything at all? Like a name or something? "
As long as there was a name, Mizuki Takemiya was confident that with the power of the consortium, he could find out the little girl's identity.
"Not yet, but there seems to be something more in my head than before …" The little girl frowned and thought hard, "There seems to be a monster chasing me …"
"What is it?" Mizuki Takemiya, who didn't expect to hear such an answer, was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Oh, a monster that can't see what they look like, but I can be sure that they are chasing me …" The little girl continued to answer.
A monster that can't see what they look like?
If it was an ordinary person, they would probably take the little girl's words as proof that her mental illness had worsened.
However, Imperial Concubine Ruixi was not an 'ordinary person'. Although she didn't have any supernatural powers, she had seen the existence of supernatural powers with her own eyes. Therefore, she didn't completely deny the little girl's words.
At the same time, Mizuki Takemiya also noticed that the little girl's expression had become somewhat painful.
"If you feel uncomfortable, don't think about it first." Imperial Concubine persuaded the little girl.
But immediately, the little girl's eyes became clear, and in the blink of an eye, she lowered her head and headbutted Mizuki Takemiya!
Mizuki Takemiya, who was completely unprepared, was naturally knocked down by the little girl's headbutt. And the little girl also laid on top of Mizuki Takemiya.
Just when Mizuki Takemiya, who was a little dizzy and disoriented, wanted to ask something, the door of the dessert shop seemed to have been hit by an invisible car. It was twisted and shattered, turning into a pile of glass shards and metal twists that couldn't be seen at all!
The customers in the store were all frightened by this sudden change. However, since there was no second disaster, everyone stayed where they were and looked at the entrance of the store with curious and fearful gazes.
"What's wrong? What happened?! " Mizuki Takemiya was also confused. She was also shocked by the explosion of the glass door. Fortunately, her mind was strong, and she quickly recovered.
"The thing that is chasing me is here. I'm sorry for involving you in this kind of thing."
The little girl said softly with some self-blame, "But now is not the time to continue to be in a daze. You have my smell on you, and if you are discovered by those things, I'm afraid you will be in danger. Before they find us, let's leave this place through the back door of the kitchen."
After saying that, she took the lead to lower her head and bend her waist. When everyone's attention was attracted by the door, she quietly sneaked into the dessert shop's kitchen.
It was not until this time that Mizuki Takemiya realized that the clothes on the little girl's body that she had specially chosen, which were very fitting until now, seemed to have shrunk out of thin air. Not only did the girl's ankles and wrists were exposed, but even her waist was shorter. It looked almost like a navel baring dress.
No, it's not that the clothes have shrunk! But soon Mizuki Takemiya realized that she was wrong.
It was not that the clothes had shrunk, but that the little girl had suddenly grown up a little … If the little girl looked less than ten years old just now, she was probably twelve or thirteen years old now. With a closer look, she could see the change.
In any case, she decided to believe the little girl. After all, if the other party really wanted to harm her, there were plenty of opportunities when they were buying clothes just now. There was no need to delay until now.
Just when the two were about to reach the kitchen, a sudden change occurred in the hall. The head of a waiter who walked near the door to check the situation was forcibly twisted off by an invisible thing in front of everyone's eyes!
The bloody visual effect frightened all the customers at once. Some people hid under the tables, some screamed, and some fled into the depths of the shop …
"Ugh …" Mizuki Takemiya, who happened to see this scene, felt her stomach churn, but she forced herself to swallow the sour water that surged up to her throat.
"I'm sorry, although it's a bit sudden, now we have two choices. One is to continue sneaking away like this because there are many 'baits' that can buy us a long time," the little girl suddenly said softly, "The second is to stand up and rush to the back door now. This way, we will become the 'bait' that can directly lead the invisible monster away and save the other customers. After all, the target of those monsters is me. They won't waste time killing unnecessary people when they find the target … The problem is that you will be in extreme danger like me."
"The second choice, let's run."
"Why? Although I don't know you well, judging from your attitude toward money, I'm afraid you're not an ordinary person, right? Obviously, you have a better chance of survival. If you survive, you will have a better life in the future. In contrast, the other side is just a few ordinary people's lives. Moreover, they are not killed. Why do you make such a choice? Are you not afraid of death? "
"Actually, I'm somewhat similar to you. Although I'm not sure, I should have also lost a part of my memory. Probably because of this, I care so much about you …" Mizuki Takemiya smiled calmly, "It's just that in that memory, there is a very important person to me. If I choose to sacrifice others in order to survive today, then when I remember who that person is in the future, I will definitely not be able to stand beside him with a clear conscience. "
"Is … is that so …" The little girl showed a surprised expression, but it quickly turned into a happy smile, "Then get ready to … run!"
As soon as the word 'run' came out of her mouth, she pulled Mizuki Takemiya and quickly rushed out of the back door.
After running out of the door, the little girl did not forget to snap her fingers at the door. The cement walls on both sides of the door began to close, directly blocking the back door.
However, this did not buy much time. A few seconds later, the entire wall was knocked down by an invisible behemoth. Although the appearance of the monster could not be seen, when the wall collapsed, the smoke that filled the air outlined the outline of the monster.
It was a humanoid monster that was about three meters tall and two meters wide. It was incomparably sturdy.
"Don't stop running. If you're caught, you're done for!"
The little girl held Mizuki Takemiya's hand and quickly ran. While running, it was not too late to create pits, quicksand, swamps, and other traps on the ground to hinder the enemy's pursuit.
Fortunately, this section of the road was similar to a small alley, and no one passed by. Otherwise, they would have been frightened by the little girl's strength.
At the same time, Mizuki Takemiya sincerely hoped that the traps would not harm any innocent passersby in the future …
However, those traps did not seem to have much effect. From the heavy footsteps of the enemy, they could tell that not only did the enemy not pull away from the girls because of the traps, but instead shortened the distance between them.
Although Mizuki Takemiya's sports results were not bad, but that was only compared to the other students in Huang Hua Women's College. It was definitely incomparable to the inhuman stage. However, under the control of the little girl, the entire ground seemed to be helping the imperial concubine. It was unusually easy to run and her speed was also very fast.
However, this was already the limit. Restricted by the human body, after running for more than a minute, Mizuki Takemiya started to pant.
"Oh no …"
The little girl's exclamation seemed to be stuck in her throat. Only a dull 'dong' sound was heard. The invisible monster suddenly leaped from behind and directly landed in front of them. The evidence was the pit in the road in front of them due to the heavy object that landed on the ground.
"Actually still hiding such a trick … Damn it, I was too careless …" The little girl's voice sounded regretful.
There was no escape.
Even if she could not see the enemy's figure, the piercing murderous intent was enough to let her know that the enemy was right in front of her.
Once upon a time, she seemed to have felt this kind of despair … At that time, what happened? Who was it that saved her?
She couldn't remember.
"As expected, I'm still somewhat unwilling …"
Originally, Mizuki Takemiya had only come out for a stroll and was completely unprepared to face death. In the end, she revealed a somewhat sorrowful and bitter smile.
As if in response to the little girl's bitter feelings, white snowflakes began to float down from the sky.
The person who had once saved her, would he appear again?
☆
"I've received the news from the forensics department. The identities of the deceased have basically been matched. They were all people who went missing a while ago. However, most of them were homeless people who would not attract any attention even if they went missing. " Xiao Zhengyi put away his phone and revealed an excited expression. He said to Xu Shenxing, "The degree of decomposition of the corpses is different. Moreover, among the corpses, there are a few that are already highly decomposed. To decompose to that extent in the winter, it would take quite a long time. Based on this, I have some ideas."
After saying this, Xiao Zhengyi went back into the police car and took out a map of Jiang Jin City and a black water-based pen.
"First is this homeless person. According to the forensics department, he is the first victim. Let's call him A."
"Why use the abbreviation? Didn't you already figure out the identity of the deceased?" Xu Shenxing asked curiously.
"Because it's too confusing to think of names … Cough, because it's meaningless to use their real names here. It's easy to confuse them. Instead, it's easier to use a code name." Xiao Zhengyi explained seriously and showed Xu Shenxing a few photos of the deceased that the forensics department sent to him. "Although we couldn't find his head, there's no way to determine the exact location of his death. However, according to the clues given by the Criminal Police Unit, his range of activity is generally in this area."
After saying this, Xiao Zhengyi used a black water-based pen to draw a circle on the map and then wrote an A in the circle.
"Then there's the deceased B. He was a child of a single-parent family. His mother remarried and disappeared. His only family member, his father, was on a business trip and had no time to take care of him."
"I feel like this setting is a bit familiar." Xu Shenxing ridiculed with a constipated expression.
"Don't worry about it. In short, because he needed to go to school, his range of activity is generally like this."
Xiao Zhengyi drew another circle on the map and then wrote a B.
Then, according to the order of the time of death, he circled all the activity areas of the first eight people.
"It doesn't feel like there's any pattern?" Xu Shenxing looked at the eight circles on the map. "The order of death is not clockwise or counterclockwise. It's completely messed up. What's the point of doing this?"
"But it looks like the activity areas are like this. What if I add this?"
Xiao Zhengyi drew a small house on the map and then wrote the words "Abandoned Hotel".
Xu Shenxing looked at it for a moment and then said with a shocked expression.
"Your handwriting is so ugly!"
"…"
Xiao Zhengyi looked at his fist and then looked at Xu Shenxing's chest. He felt that if he punched Xu Shenxing, he would be the one with broken bones. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up the idea of punching Xu Shenxing.
Therefore, he could only continue to draw a circle on the map with the abandoned hotel as the center.
"What are you drawing? An egg? "Xu Shenxing continued to attack him mentally.
"I'm not Da Vinci!" Xiao Zhengyi replied weakly. "Don't you see what's so special about the circle I drew?"
Xu Shenxing looked at it for a moment and then showed a shocked expression again.
"If you want to continue to say that my drawing is ugly, then let's talk face to face," Xiao Zhengyi said first.
"… Tsk."
"It's true! Be serious, Guardian of Jiang Jin! "
Xu Shenxing, who felt that it was not good for him to continue playing, looked at the map again, then looked up and said, "The circle drawn with the abandoned hotel as the center just happens to pass through the activity areas of the eight victims?"
"That's right. When I called just now, I thought that might be the case, so I've already asked the criminal police to go to the more remote places near this line to see if they can find anything …"
Before Xiao Zhengyi finished speaking, his phone rang.
He smiled apologetically at Xu Shenxing, then picked up the phone.
With Xu Shenxing's hearing, he naturally heard what the loud voice of the case team leader said on the phone.
Just as Xiao Zhengyi guessed, in the more remote places near the line, the police had found the heads of three victims!
Although there were still five heads that had not been found, it was only a matter of time now.
"In other words, the first eight victims were killed with the abandoned hotel as the center …" Xu Shenxing thought for a moment and felt that it was useless to think about it, so he called Xing Yan A Meng and told him the information that he had found so far.
"There are many kinds of formations that use the heads or skulls of the deceased to set up a formation, but none of them are righteous methods. Among them, the Ghost Dao is the best, but currently, the Ghost Dao is declining, so the possibility of them doing it is not high …"
This time, Xing Yan A Meng was as helpful as always. After listening to Xu Shenxing's description, he began to talk.
"Also, according to what you said, after the enemy finished setting up a formation, they didn't activate it. Instead, they went to hunt humans in other places that they didn't want to lock up. Then, there are two possibilities. First, they planned to set up a composite formation that was made up of several or even dozens of formations. Second, there was a problem with the formation core that they set up, causing it to fail. So, they had to set it up again. "
"In short, without a detailed formation map, I can't be sure what kind of formation it is. I will try to analyze it, but don't get your hopes up." "
"What? A way to stop it? Well, according to what you can understand … just kill the person who set up the formation. " "
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shenxing thought carefully about the meaning of Qin Xingyan's words and finally confirmed one thing.
"Shit! In the end, we still have to find the enemy first!"
"Don't be so depressed. Don't forget that there were more than eight victims in the abandoned hotel." Xiao Zhengyi looked full of confidence.
He continued to compare the information and the map in his WeChat and explained to Xu Shenxing, "The ninth victim is an uncle … Well, because we started from scratch, let's call him 2A. He's an otaku. We only found out that the body was his after we checked his fingerprints. Before that, no one found out that he was dead … In short, his range of activities, uh …"
Xiao Zhengyi took a pen and pointed on the map, then wrote 2A next to it, "Well, think about it from a good point of view. After giving it to us, we have a more accurate coordinate reference."
"…" Xu Shenxing felt a subtle sense of sadness, so he didn't say anything.
"Then, the tenth victim is a young lady. Let's call her 2B for now."
"I think this code name is full of malice." Xu Shenxing complained.
"Are you unhappy that 2B is a young lady?"
"So, why use this code name?"
In short, after a round of argument and explanation, Xiao Zhengyi marked the areas of activities of the remaining victims.
Because 2A was an otaku and the only victim's body that was found before the abandoned hotel was found, the center of the circle was quickly found.
The most eye-catching building in that area was …
"Jiang Jin University." Xiao Zhengyi said softly.
"My alma mater is really full of disasters …" Xu Shenxing sighed.
During the school anniversary celebration, they went back and forth a few times. He didn't expect that they would have to continue this time.
He hoped that this incident wouldn't be too big. Otherwise, the school leaders who were already in a terrible state due to the explosion in the auditorium would all have their blood vessels exploding …
In short, after confirming the possible location of the enemy, the two of them quickly rushed to Jiang Jin University in the police car.
Although it was winter break today, there were still many Jiang Jin local students who came to the school to participate in club activities, or simply to use the field to play basketball or football.
The school was also peaceful. It didn't look like Avici at all, as Xu Shenxing and the others had imagined.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. As expected of a man-eating monster, it's really cunning!" Xiao Zhengyi smiled coldly.
"Dangerous my ass. For a man-eating monster, this is a warehouse. When you stand in a bakery surrounded by all kinds of delicious bread, do you think it's dangerous?"
"Yes, in the sense of a wallet!"
"…"
Because he had Xiao Zhengyi's police badge with Spirit of Speech, Xu Shenxing didn't need to use Persuasion (Physics) and Amnesia (Physics) on the school's higher-ups one by one. It was more convenient. However, Jiangjin University covered a large area, and there were countless classrooms and miscellaneous rooms.
Xu Shenxing was fine, but Xiao Zhengyi was so tired that he was about to kneel after running around half of the school.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be entrusted to other police officers. After all, only Xu Shenxing could see through the illusion at the moment.
"This won't do. If this continues, when will it end …"
Xiao Zhengyi's entire body was burned to ashes.
However, Xu Shenxing felt that something was wrong.
Just as he said, Jiang Jin University was full of students. For most monsters, a place with a lot of people could confuse the monster slayers' observation skills, and they could mix in until it was safe.
However, that was only for ordinary monsters.
For a big monster like Qiong Qi, even if it turned into a human and mixed in with the humans, Xu Shenxing would be the first to pull it out and beat it up … Damn, which human would grow up to look like that with a green face and fangs …
Even if it wasn't a big monster, but just some small monsters that ate humans, their aura would be very unique. After turning into a human, their temperament would be completely different from ordinary people. Even if it couldn't be said to be a crane in a flock of chickens, most people would still find it strange.
Even if they tried their best to hide it, the suppression of the food chain meant that the mentality of viewing humans as food couldn't be easily changed.
Moreover, judging from the continuous crimes and the situation of the corpses being eaten, those monsters should be the more brutal type. In a situation where there was no strong restraint, they should be able to act according to their mood and attack humans wantonly. However, until now, Jiang Jin University didn't show any signs of unrest. This was very strange.
After telling Xiao Zhengyi his doubts, Xiao Zhengyi also frowned.
He was different from Xu Shenxing. He didn't know about supernatural existences like monsters … Well, his family was always researching how to tap into the potential of their own furniture, and recently seemed to be planning to join the Flying Apsaras Noodle Cult … Therefore, his way of thinking was different from Xu Shenxing, and he didn't think of this point.
"Could it be that there was a mistake? But according to the situation in the abandoned hotel, the second center should be Jiang Jin University … "
In a situation where the most likely inference was overturned, Xiao Zhengyi began to feel like a headless fly, and he became clueless.
However, Xu Shenxing seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Why did those monsters set the first center … or rather, the formation eye in the abandoned hotel?"
"Because there were fewer people there …" When he said this, Xiao Zhengyi also realized that something was wrong.
If the first formation eye was set in the abandoned hotel because it wasn't easy to find there, then why was the second formation eye set in Jiang Jin University?
One had to know that even during the winter vacation, the flow of people at Jiangjin University would not be small. If the second formation eye was set here, it was completely contrary to the reason why the first formation eye was set in the abandoned hotel.
"Not only that, in fact, we can think about it in reverse. What if they … those monsters set the formation eye in the abandoned hotel not because there were fewer people?"
Xu Shenxing said in a deep voice.
"Not because there were fewer people?" Xiao Zhengyi thought hard, but he still couldn't come up with a conclusion.
"Don't forget, that hotel used to be a Tudi temple … Although the method that humans chose to build Tudi temples seems to be more metaphysical, there really was land there back then … So, can we think that it was the core of Jiang Jin's spirit veins?" Xu Shenxing also knew that his question was a bit out of line for Xiao Zhengyi, who grew up in an atheist education, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly told him his speculation.
After all, Xiao Zhengyi's worldview was destroyed and rebuilt less than a year ago, so it was normal that he didn't know much about it. Even Xu Shenxing learned some relevant knowledge because there was a god living in his house, and the Tudi God always came to Sakura Apartments for free.
"You mean …" Xiao Zhengyi seemed to have thought of something, and his face showed a surprised expression.
"That's right, didn't Xingyan say it? The reason why those monsters set up the second formation eye is probably because their first formation didn't work … Why didn't the second formation work? Because the core of Jiang Jin's spirit veins, for various reasons, is no longer there. "
Xu Shenxing obtained the Zhenchuan Seal from Fusang, the laurel soil given to them by the Chang Xiaoxian, the abandonment and reconstruction of the current Tudi God's residence, and the mushroom-headed loli once said that the spirit veins leaked hundreds of years ago in Jiang Jin … With so many changes, how could the core of Jiang Jin's spirit veins still be in the abandoned hotel? Based on how lazy the Tudi God was, the core of the spirit veins had probably been moved to the current Tudi God's residence long ago.
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that the final target of those monsters is the current Tudi God's residence in Jiang Jin." Xu Shenxing shook the map that was covered with Xiao Zhengyi's doodles, "Your guess is right, the second formation eye is indeed in the middle of the circle, but it's not 'Jiang Jin University'. It's' under the abandoned apartment 'in the mountains behind Jiang Jin!"
"But didn't nothing happen when we went there before?" Xiao Zhengyi asked curiously.
"Don't forget that the sixteen corpses are all in the abandoned hotel. In other words, until the formation is completed, those monsters won't attack the current Tudi God in Jiang Jin to avoid alerting the enemy."
