Soul echo

Chapter 583

"The monster is in this compound!"

The middle-aged man slapped the table angrily, "But we couldn't find any trace of that monster!"

Can't find it?
Zhong Ye and the others had doubts in their hearts. The manor didn't look that big, so why couldn't they find it?
Delilah thought about her choice of words, and asked, "If you can't find it, how are you sure that there are monsters here?"

The middle-aged man turned his head to look, and immediately noticed her pointed ears, and subconsciously froze for a moment.

"Because, because...people disappear in the compound every day." The middle-aged man sighed and sat back on the chair dejectedly.

"To be honest, although the old man is sure that there are monsters in the compound, he can't find them no matter what. One person disappears in the compound every day.

"At first I thought that the servant had escaped, but on the second day, the old man's first wife disappeared. At that time, the old man realized something was wrong, so he asked people to go out and post a notice, and someone came in the afternoon , he searched for the demon in the compound, and at night, I didn't dare to act rashly until I saw him come out.

"Then on the third day, I found out that no one was missing from my royal family yesterday, but the Taoist who came to subjugate demons did not appear again..."

The middle-aged man beat his chest and stamped his feet, and sighed in grief and indignation: "Every day! Every day, people are missing. If this continues, dozens of members of the Wang family will die here!"

"Then why didn't you move out of here?" Lily asked bluntly.

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, "Because my Wang family is trapped here, and that demon doesn't want me to leave at all!"

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?"

"Except for the old man sending his servants to Jinmen to post notices the next day, no matter what we do, no one in my Wang family, including the servants, can leave this compound!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, his face grim, " Once I have the idea of ​​running away, the next moment, I will wake up from the usual actions, and then recall carefully, I can find that I am like a bewitched person, and I have abandoned the idea of ​​​​running away. Do something, and then you will do something until you come back to your senses."

Facing a monster that might want to exterminate his entire family and was capable of doing so, the middle-aged man was naturally terrified, but in comparison, he was even more angry at that monster.

——It wants to destroy itself all over the house, but it can't do anything if it's afraid, it can only watch the whole family 'disappear', so why don't you go and kill that monster?
If it weren't for the fact that the monster's body couldn't be found, the middle-aged people would have gathered the guards to hack the monster to death.

Of course, it is also possible that they were killed by demons.

The middle-aged man folded his hands sadly, and said sadly: "Although it is a bit rude, the old man still hopes that the young man can do us a favor and help us kill this monster!"

"That should be the case." Zhong Ye nodded, but then changed the topic and asked suddenly, "But I heard that your son forcibly robbed civilian girls a few days ago, do you dare to ask if this happened?"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and his hands were clenched tightly.

"...No mistake, there is indeed such a thing."

The reputation of the Wang family in Jinmen is not very good, and most of this bad reputation has something to do with the young master of the Wang family who is called the 'Wang Yidan'.

Even the yamen did not dare to rob civilian women in the street, but the young master of the Wang family dared to do so because the Wang family was a loan shark.

The young master of the Wang family looked like he had robbed the women of the people, but in fact, those women were sold to the Wang family. Therefore, in terms of law, this was legal. Even the government could not convict the young master of the Wang family for any crimes.

As a local tyrant lending usury, the reward was only 100 taels of silver. I have to say, this is really interesting.

"Everyone who hurts and hurts a demon can be punished." Zhong Ye stood up, glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently, and turned to leave the lobby. "Then, the same should be done for those who hurt and hurt others."

"Oh, you're done!" Lilian jumped up from the chair, smiled at the middle-aged man, and followed Zhong Ye's footsteps.

Delilah raised her skirt to him, then turned and left, her brain started to spin, thinking about how to manage the Wang family's property within a reasonable range.

The middle-aged man looked at their leaving back with an ugly expression, his fists were constantly clenched.

Zhong Ye had a steelyard in his heart, and the priority of monsters was higher than that of the Wang family, so he planned to deal with the affairs of the Wang family first after solving the monster hiding in the dark—the Wang family couldn't escape anyway.

The Wang family compound is not very big. According to Zhong Ye's visual inspection, the area should be about [-] square meters, but the house looks a bit old.

Lilian already held the light saber in her hand, and their luggage was stored at the porter, so that it would not hinder the battle.

Not long after Zhong Ye and the others left the lobby, a servant followed their footsteps and monitored their behavior.

Zhong Ye glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "Can you tell us about the structure of this compound?"

The servant obviously didn't expect Zhong Ye to talk to him, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it.

"Uh, right in front of you is the residence of the master and wife..."

"Hey! You are... what..."

A female voice suddenly sounded from the side, but after Zhong Ye and the others turned their heads to look, her voice became smaller and smaller.

At this time, the servant hurriedly stood up and introduced: "These three young heroes came to help slay demons after seeing the notice in Jinmen. Sister Sumei, please don't stop me."

'Demon', upon hearing this word, the servant girl's expression changed suddenly, she waved her hand, and quickly backed away.

Zhong Ye didn't pay attention, and turned to Lilian and the others and asked, "Are you going to split up?"

"Okay! Let's split up!" Before Lilian could reply, Delilah beamed with joy and nodded again and again.

She has long wanted to take a stroll in this compound, to see what that monster hiding in the dark looks like.

Being by Zhong Ye's side, maybe it was just like when the government came before, the monsters didn't dare to attack them at all.

Zhong Ye's perception ability was so strong that he didn't even notice where the monster was when he came to the compound. If nothing unexpected happened, if the monster didn't show up on his own initiative, Zhong Ye wouldn't be able to find its whereabouts either.

That being the case, it is obviously not a good thing to be by Zhong Ye's side.

Lilian glanced at the barrage and nodded.

They were happy, but the servants became sad.

Before Zhong Ye and the others started to move, he hurried to the maidservant and whispered something to her. After seeing Zhong Ye walking towards the main room, he hurriedly stepped forward and trotted to follow.

The door was closed, Zhong Ye raised his hand and pushed it open, then bowed his head and walked in.

After entering the room, there is a tea table, two chairs and a copybook facing the door, several wardrobes on the left, and a bed on the right.

The bed was separated from the rest of the room by a bead curtain, but after a few glances, Zhong Ye realized that the beads of the bead curtain were nothing but a pile of variegated glass.

After looking around the bedroom, Zhong Ye asked, "How did your wife disappear?"

The servant smiled wryly, and sighed: "That day, the master woke up and didn't see the eldest lady, and he didn't think it was strange, but after three poles in the sun, he still didn't see the eldest lady, so he asked me to wait, and found out, that day No one saw the eldest lady in the morning, so I thought of the person who disappeared the day before..."

While saying these words, the servant couldn't hold back his disappointment and frustration.

In his opinion, their Wang family is hopeless. People have been missing for several days in a row. No one from the government can find the missing people and the reason for their disappearance.

This incident was quite weird and strange, but apart from the fact that someone went out and posted a notice that day, no one in their family could leave the compound, and there was no way to call for help from others.

'100 taels of silver' was already the price a few days ago, and now even if they want to increase the reward, they have no way to spread the news.

Listening to the servant's rambling words, Zhong Ye suddenly noticed something——

"Where's your concierge?" Zhong Ye frowned, "Can't he leave the compound?"

"You mean Uncle Six? Uncle Six..."

While talking, the servant's face suddenly became stiff. After a while, he blinked and turned to guide Zhong Ye, "Have you finished reading it? The next room is the master's study."

Zhong Ye looked at the servant in silence for a long while, and then started to follow his pace.
