Soul echo

Chapter 741 Chasing and Killing

"That person is in Jingzhou..."

Zhong Ye was chewing on the words that the land god of Baiyun Temple entrusted the head of Wudang Mountain to bring him——

"Just where you can see it!"

Where the eyes can see... This is a light word, but isn't the whole Jingzhou now "where he can see"?

Or does this 'wherever you look' refer to the people around you?

Zhong Ye raised his head and looked at the courtyard in front - right in this official residence?

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Ye stepped into the yamen, cupped his fists in response to the gatekeeper's greeting, and began to look around the palace.

The land fairy didn't directly point out the identity of that person, probably because even he didn't know who that person was, but he was able to confirm that that person was by his side and related to him...

There were so many people in the government, and the lightning strike occurred in the early morning, so many people were suspected.

When sleeping, Zhong Ye will shrink his perception ability to the minimum, and only maintain the basic danger perception. Otherwise, with his current powerful perception ability, even the slightest disturbance can wake him up. Would he still want to Go to sleep?

So when the lightning strike happened that day, he didn't notice it. He didn't realize it until someone ran into the city to report the incident. He hurried to the place where the mountain fire appeared and put it out.

Therefore, many people, including Delilah, are suspected!

But in principle, he believed that Delilah would not do such a thing, so after wandering around the yamen and finding no clues, he approached Delilah.

After finding Dai Lila, Zhong Ye explained the incident to Dai Lila frankly. Dai Lila, who was originally dealing with government affairs, was immediately attracted by this matter.

"As far as the eye can see... the legendary mage should have said so?"

Delilah thought for a while before laughing, "If you say it like this, I also seem to be a little suspicious."

As she spoke, she was stunned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

"Mr. Zhong, do you think that you are really being targeted by evil gods?"

Zhong Ye was also taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Delilah pursed her lower lips, and raised her finger to point to her head, "I mean, can the evil god of the abyss really monitor your thoughts? According to what you said before, you should be protected by the gods. If so, Can the evil god of the abyss still monitor your thoughts?"

Hearing this, Zhong Ye's eyes slowly opened wide.

——He also realized this problem!
What if there was no "evil god surveillance" from the very beginning?

"Is there such a possibility——" Delilah took a light breath, "From the very beginning, this was not an act of an evil god, but an act of an abyss believer?"

"How is this possible?" Zhong Ye frowned, because there were many unexplainable things.

"Deduce and guide!"

Delilah thought of a lot of things, she became excited, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she said while thinking: "Mr. Zhong, you are a celebrity now, and many people can collect information related to you, and you are approachable, often in Out there in contact with people, so using that intelligence to build a model of your personality and figure out how you'll react when you encounter something isn't difficult.

"If that's the case, it makes perfect sense that this matter is led by abyssal believers, not instigated by evil gods!"

After listening, Zhong Ye frowned even deeper.

In other words, there is a possibility that he was deceived by the believers of the abyss and misled into thinking that this matter was instigated by evil gods?
"The second time..."

After speaking, Zhong Ye was stunned.

Dai Lila looked at him with a smile on her chin, tilted her head, "Have you figured it out?"

Zhong Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily, and sighed: "Through the first action, I mistakenly believed that I was restricted by an inexplicable force. Since I have dealt with the abyss too much, I would subconsciously think that it was the abyss. What Abyss did, and I am a martial arts master with great strength, so I would judge that no one other than the Abyss evil god can monitor my thoughts... No, when Zhang Xiyu was still ruling the prefect of Jingzhou, I had already been punished many times. I hinted at it, but I didn't notice it at the time, until I couldn't bear Zhang Xiyu's actions any longer and reported his behavior to the emperor, all the hints burst out at the same moment, causing me to have the first time. Misjudgment."

It wasn't after Zhang Xiyu was recalled by the emperor that he came up with the idea that 'Zhang Xiyu might be affected by the abyss'. This idea had already appeared, but it gradually deepened as time went by when Zhang Xiyu was in power as the prefect of Jingzhou.

Facts have proved that Zhang Xiyu's mind was not affected by the abyss, but by the followers of the abyss.

There is a huge difference between the two. If it is the former, then there is still the possibility that Zhong Ye is being watched by the evil god of the abyss, but now it is the latter, which means that it is more likely that the actions of the abyss believers themselves.

"After that misjudgment, I will start in this direction and think about the problem. Every time I think about it, I will deepen my cognition. In the end, whenever a similar situation occurs, I will think it is the action of the evil god of the abyss."

Zhong Ye folded his arms and thought quickly, "The first time they acted, they were betting that I would believe this matter, or they didn't know that I was protected by the gods. Anyway, they did these things and convinced me.

"Then, when I told you about this matter, I didn't take any protective measures, I didn't block any sounds or movements, I just mentioned it casually, so that the hidden abyss believer could 'hear', and then Created that wildfire..."

Having said this, Zhong Ye couldn't help but lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.

If this was the case, then he would indeed bear a large part of the responsibility for the deaths of those fourteen innocent people.

"Who can do this kind of thing, you should know." Delilah narrowed her eyes, "What's more, you already have a candidate in your heart."

"—Situ Kong!"

Situ Kong doesn't seem like the person who can do such a thing. He has a meek personality and is very gentle in dealing with people and things. Although his working ability is not bad, he is not enough to become the prefect of Jingzhou. Just managing a Jingzhou city makes him a little flustered .

But what if all this was just his disguise?
Zhong Ye remembered very clearly that he expressed more than once that he wanted to move out of the government backyard, but Situ Kong also persuaded him more than once to let him stay.

Before that, Zhong Ye only thought that Situ Kong had good intentions, and at the same time, he wanted to ask his senior for political and political experience more conveniently.

However, up to now, if Situ Kong is substituted into the identity of 'Abyss believer', then the reason why Situ Kong wants to keep him is to monitor him better. That guy is convinced he's fallen for all the lies they've spun!

Dai Lila saw that Zhong Ye's eyes suddenly became dark, and she was sure that Zhong Ye's anger had already ignited at this time.

"It is indeed within sight!" After finishing speaking, Zhong Ye stood up abruptly, with a strong will that could not be restrained, overflowing from his body.

The surrounding air became heavy, and even breathing required effort.

Dai Lila put down her brush and followed Zhong Ye three meters away. Only at this distance would she not be affected by Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye's footsteps were fast and his face was gloomy. Many officials wanted to say hello when they saw him, but seeing his gloomy face that seemed to be dripping water, they put down their raised hands in embarrassment and watched Zhong Ye go away.

The powerful perception was fully spread out, and Situ Kong's breath was caught at the gate of the official mansion, and he was walking out.

With a cold snort, Zhong Ye chased after him.

"Hurry up, I have something urgent."

Situ Kong, who boarded the carriage, urged the coachman, who chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go!"

"Situ Kong, where are you going?"

Before anyone arrives, the sound arrives first.

The sound drifted across the wall and fell into the coachman's ears.

Hearing that familiar voice, the coachman was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the gate of the official mansion, but he didn't see Zhong Ye's figure, so he turned his head to look at the carriage: "Master Situ, is it Master Zhong calling you?"

Situ Kong was silent for a while, pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded, "Yes, Master Zhong called me..."

Pedestrians passing by couldn't help but cast their gazes at the gate of the official mansion, but they heard a "click", and the car barrier behind the driver was smashed, and a hand stuck out from inside, strangling the driver's neck.

Situ Kong's yell came from the carriage: "Let me go! Otherwise he won't be able to live!"

The bustling and busy long street seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and all sounds and movements stopped at the same time.

Zhong Ye's figure then appeared at the gate of the official mansion, his eyes full of violence cast his gaze away, and he met those eyes that were tearing apart through the cracks in the car's fender.

After a pause of two seconds, Zhong Ye nodded his heavy head.

"……it is good!"
