With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 167 Alia, the Mirror, and the Demon

If Yang Ye's guess is correct, then the Tong family may have been infiltrated into a sieve by the Old Day Sect.

In the style of those in the old sect, since some members of the Tong family can be made members of the sect through some means, there will definitely not be only one person.

Tong Duo lives in such a family, one can imagine how dangerous it is.

While feeling sad for Tong Duo, Shen Xiu suddenly remembered what he said when he met Tong Duo at the "Pagoda of Sacrifice to Heaven" - the things inside were unclear.

"Could it be that he knew at that time that this matter was related to the old believers? But, since he knew, why didn't he notify the Bureau of Strange Affairs? Was he threatened, or was there an old man in the group behind him? The eyeliner of the Sun sect?"

Shen Xiu could understand that Tong Duo didn't tell him about the rose garden when he met her twice.

After all, in the eyes of this college roommate, he is just an ordinary person. Once he is involved in such a thing, he will definitely die.

But Shen Xiu couldn't understand why Tong Duo didn't tell the people from the Bureau of Strange Affairs.

"Old Yang, did Tong Duo secretly tell the General Administration that this matter is related to the old sect?"

Shen Xiu really couldn't figure out the key, so she could only ask Yang Ye for confirmation.

Yang Ye was a little dazed by Shen Xiu's "Old Yang", and he was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"No. From what you're saying, the eldest young master of the Tong family knows that this matter is related to those 'lunatics'?"

Shen Xiu naturally couldn't admit it, so she casually said something perfunctory, and quickly changed the subject:

"Now that it has been confirmed that people from the Old Sect are behind this matter, your General Administration will no longer sit idly by and do nothing, right?"

Yang Ye tensed his face and shook his head:

"Whenever we don't care about this matter, we have been investigating from the beginning to the end. It's just that for some reasons, we couldn't act with great fanfare. Now that we have discovered the 'inner demon', we can finally convince those people."

Convince those people?
Shen Xiu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that compared to branches in other cities, the situation of the General Administration in Jingdu was not as good as imagined.

A normal survey mission would actually be hindered.

This scene is really "hidden dragon and crouching tiger"!

At this moment, Yang Ye took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said loudly:

"Everyone be quiet!"

The servants who were gathered by a group of investigators at the bottom of the steps all stopped talking and looked up.

Originally, they were selected to clean the rose garden this time, and these people were always worried and uneasy, for fear that they would become the "lucky ones" favored by the heavens and find their own human skin.

I didn't expect to come here for whatever I was afraid of.

Although the human skin is not his own, but with empathy, he feels pity for the middle-aged woman, and at the same time, he is even more frightened and uneasy.

You know, except for the first time there was only one piece of human skin, and every time after that, there were at least two pieces of human skin.

According to this rule, at least one will be found this time.

And who can tell clearly whose skin that piece of human skin belongs to?
Originally, these people thought that with Shen Xiu and Aliya, two investigators from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, accompanying them, nothing would happen.

I didn't expect that these two "professionals" were so unskilled in their business, and something happened.

If they hadn't been brought here half-asked and half-detained by the investigators headed by a short-haired woman, these people might have run away on the way here.

Yang Ye glanced at the servants who had "fear and anxiety" written all over their faces and said:

"Presumably everyone has heard what happened, and I know what everyone is thinking now, isn't it just to escape from here quickly, but what I want to say is that even if you leave now, the damn thing still won't live, and the one who couldn't die originally, but It’s not necessarily how long you’ll live.”

The servants who said this were shocked and frightened.

"I'm still going to die" is easy to understand. Isn't it just like the guest at Mr. Tong's banquet for the first time?

Even though he had returned to his home, when his human skin was found in the garden, it was still dead, it had nothing to do with staying in the garden or not.

The last sentence is the key point, "Those who cannot die may not necessarily live long"!
This means that he didn't die this time, even if he doesn't come to the Rose Garden in the future, it is still possible to be killed?

A brave servant asked:
"Captain Yang, what you said next means that as long as we have been here, we may be 'selected'?"

This is said tactfully enough.

Yang Ye nodded and said loudly:
"Whether the human skin appears or not has nothing to do with staying here. As long as you have been to the garden, anyone may become the next target, including me."

As soon as these words came out, the servants at the bottom of the steps all looked ashen.

They didn't question the veracity of what they said. A dignified investigator leader wouldn't make such a joke with them.

Since you might die if you stay here, and you might die if you run away, then what's the point of running, it's better to stay here and see what these people from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs are going to do.

If they find a solution, there is no need to continue to worry and scare themselves.

Furthermore, they are just servants, but the young men and women around them are investigators, and their human skins may also appear. If they are not scared enough to run away, then they have no reason to run away. .

However, what these servants didn't know was that Yang Ye still had something to say. He might indeed become the next target, but it was just a "target".

The inner demon hiding somewhere wants to kill him, which is no more difficult than a child killing an adult.

All of this is naturally due to his being a "late-level demon hunting" investigator.

After securing the servant, Yang Ye began to formally implement his plan.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. That thing is not as scary as you think. Its most powerful thing is not its silent killing ability, but its hiding ability. As long as we can find that thing, everyone can Safe and sound.”

After hearing this, the servants finally regained some vitality.

Someone asked:
"Then how can we find that thing?"

"Good question!" Yang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, "Normally, with the ability of us people, we can't find that thing, but for some reason, that thing seems to be shackled and can only appear It is in this garden, and it can only be attached to human consciousness, which makes it possible for us to find it."

In consciousness! ?

The servant who asked the question trembled and said in a trembling voice:
"You don't mean to find that thing, you have to pry the heads of us all?"

Yang Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and explained:
"Although that thing is attached to the consciousness, there is no need to pry your heads open. I have other ways."

All the servants couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no need for "craniotomy".

Since Team Leader Yang has a way to find that thing, it means that he has a greater chance of surviving, and many people have a look of hope in their eyes.

"You really have a way?"

On the steps, Shen Xiu asked in a low voice.

It's not that he doesn't believe Yang Ye, it's just that this is too unbelievable.

You know, even Alia, whose strength is extremely close to a "pillar" and whose "perception" ability exceeds that of an ordinary "pillar", was not able to detect that thing. How could Yang Ye, a "lower-level demon hunter", have the confidence to say so? Such words?

Yang Ye first winked at the short-haired woman and others, then turned to look at Shen Xiu and said:
"If I just relied on myself, I would definitely not be able to find the inner demon. However, from the beginning of the discovery of the inner demon to the present, although I still haven't figured out how it was formed, I have developed a method. Something that can make that thing invisible."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Xiu saw the investigators at the bottom of the steps take out a simple round mirror from the box they carried with them.

"It's that mirror!"

Shen Xiu is no stranger to this mirror.

It was also in the box that Zheng Qinghe gave back then, but Shen Xiu thought it was too troublesome to carry the box, so she only took the bone dagger with her, and put the rest in the hotel.

Yang Ye squinted as he watched the investigators in the audience test the servants one by one, and said:
"The main purpose of that mirror is to find inner demons. Of course, it also has a certain effect on other non-human creatures. The rest of the time it is just like an ordinary mirror. By the way, Lao Zheng didn't tell you the function of this thing, right?"

Shen Xiu held her breath and did not speak.

It turned out that not only the rules of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, but also Zheng Qinghe and others did not tell him what the purpose of such an important thing was. This really did not treat him as one of their own.

Seeing that Shen Xiu was sullen, Yang Ye also knew that he had hit the mark, so he smiled slightly, skipped the matter, and continued:
"Inner demons hide in people's consciousness. As long as there are inner demons in the body, a blush will appear on the forehead of the reflection in the mirror when it is seen in a mirror."

Shen Xiu calmed down and decided to wait until she returned to Lausanne before settling old scores with Zheng Qinghe.

"Since you can find that thing so easily, why didn't you do it a few times before?"

Yang Ye explained:
"Only after the inner demon seeds have completely evolved into the complete inner demon, will the remaining slough be left behind. There were no slough fragments on those human skins before. It is not certain that this matter is related to the inner demon, otherwise there would be no need for it. Wait until today?”

As he spoke, Yang Ye laughed at himself:
"In the end, we haven't done enough about this matter. We have already learned from the past. Even if we don't know that this matter is related to inner demons, there should be nothing wrong with trying it. If we can confirm that it is this thing earlier, we don't need it." So many people died."

Although these words were blaming herself for not doing things well, Shen Xiu still vaguely heard a hint of resentment.

After thinking about it for a moment, I figured out the reason - it wasn't that they, the investigators, were unwilling to try, but perhaps they were prevented from doing so by external forces.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of people in Jingduzhong who are not dealing with the Bureau of Foreign Affairs!" Shen Xiu thought secretly.

At this moment, the search below had ended, but what was surprising was that none of the dozen or so servants, including the driver Huang Wu, had any inner demons.

This made Yang Ye frown.

Judging from the previous death cases, there is no doubt that the inner demon is indeed trapped in this garden and cannot go out.

The inner demon seeds must rely on human consciousness to evolve.

If the inner demons were not in the bodies of those servants, where would they be?
"Have you tried it yourself?" Shen Xiu stepped forward and asked.

The short-haired woman rolled her eyes. Do you even need to ask about such a thing?
After learning that there is a demon here, the group of people have already tested it on the way to gather the servants, and there is no demon.

There were only so many people in the garden, and all the people below the steps had been tested, so only Shen Xiu, Yang Ye and Alia were left without testing.

The short-haired woman quickly walked up the steps with a mirror in hand.

"Team Yang."

Yang Ye nodded without saying a word, and walked to the woman on his own initiative.

Although she knew that it was impossible for the inner demon to attach to Yang Ye's consciousness, according to the regulations, the woman still pointed the mirror at him.

In the mirror, Yang Ye's face was clearly reflected, and there was no blush on his forehead.

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to Shen Xiu again, and pointed the mirror at him sullenly.

Shen Xiu looked at her "handsome" face in the mirror, grinned, and said:

"Perfect!"

Not seeing a blush in the mirror, the woman rolled her eyes in disgust, and planned to test the last little girl with a very strange name.

But unexpectedly, Shen Xiu suddenly took a step across and stood in front of her.

"There is no need for her to test, Lao Yang, what do you think?"

The woman didn't take a good look at Shen Xiu, but she still turned to look at Yang Ye, asking for his opinion.

Yang Ye hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although he didn't understand why Shen Xiu would come forward to stop her, but having vaguely guessed Alia's strength, he naturally didn't believe that a mere heart demon had the ability to attach to a "pillar" consciousness.

Seeing that Yang Ye agreed, the woman gave Shen Xiu a vicious look, and let it go.

But no one expected that Aaliya suddenly stepped forward past Shen Xiu and took the initiative to face her face in the mirror.

In the next second, a thick blush suddenly appeared in the mirror, covering the entire mirror surface.

"This"

The short-haired woman quickly took a step back in fright, her whole body tensed up, and she looked at the innocent Aliya warily.

Yang Ye's heart sank as well, his right hand quietly leaned toward his waist, staring closely at Alia.

As for Shen Xiu, she had an extremely speechless expression.

The blush in the mirror, in the eyes of the short-haired woman and Yang Ye, was due to demons, but he knew that it should be caused by the identity of Alia's blood.

He had already predicted that something unexpected would happen to Aaliya when she was caught in the round mirror, so he deliberately stopped the short-haired woman.

I didn't expect Aliya to take the initiative to step forward, and now it's troublesome.

Shen Xiu glared at Aaliya who was looking at him innocently, and then looked at Yang Ye who was already on guard and regarded Aaliya as an imaginary enemy. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Since the inner demon is with her, then don't worry about the rest, she should be able to solve that thing."

"You put it lightly, the inner demons are at least 'intermediate demons'. What ability does a teenage girl like her have to deal with that thing?"

The short-haired woman questioned mercilessly.

On the other hand, Yang Ye let out a long breath after hearing this.

Indeed, this little girl whose identity is unknown but whose strength is frighteningly strong is more capable than them of solving that heart demon.

The inner demon clings to her consciousness ignorantly, that is to seek her own death.

But what puzzles Yang Ye is how the inner demon is attached to the consciousness of a "pillar"?

Also, the little girl took the initiative to look in the mirror. Could it be that she already knew that the inner demon was within her?

Yang Ye glanced at Alia, who was standing behind Shen Xiu, showing a small head, and opened his mouth, wanting to get an explanation.

But Shen Xiu seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, and said quickly:

"Some questions should not be asked, and we will not answer them."

Yang Ye had no choice but to swallow his words.

However, the inner demons have been resolved, and the person behind this incident has not yet surfaced, so Yang Ye still has to make things clear:

"I don't ask about the demons, but you have to help me with one thing."
