Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters
#29 - Mountain Road Corpse
The county office's cases didn't involve demons, so how could he find them?
Having path dependence, Shen Lin was too lazy to think too much and directly chose to throw the problem to Sun Zhi.
He didn't believe that Sun Zhi knew any demons besides the Mantis Demon and the White Fox family.
Sun Zhi said with a bitter face, "Master Shen, last time with the Bai family, you pinned it on me. Now those demons have already received the news, how could any demon cooperate with me?"
But facing his complaints, Shen Lin remained unmoved and said softly, "There will always be stubborn demons, try it!"
What kind of stubborn demon would contact me at this time?
First the Mantis Demon, then the Bai family fox demons. Any demon with a little brain could see the problem.
But no matter how distressed Sun Zhi was in his heart, when he saw Shen Lin's cold eyes, he held back his words and said he would try.
After sending Sun Zhi away, Shen Lin put away the rewards he had exchanged. Just as he was about to go home to deduce, a constable ran in.
"Master Shen! Supervisor Qian has an urgent matter to find you."
Shen Lin was a little puzzled. He had just returned from Supervisor Qian's place. What had happened again?
He put the Meridian Opening Pill and Shadowless Step skill close to his body and walked out.
"Supervisor Qian, what matter are you looking for me for?"
Hearing Shen Lin's voice, Supervisor Qian, who was originally pacing back and forth anxiously, seemed to have immediately found his backbone and calmed down.
"Brother Shen, I just had you run a case, and logically speaking, I shouldn't continue to trouble you. It's just that this matter is urgent, and the other constables are all busy, and I can't find anyone in a short time..."
Looking at the rambling Supervisor Qian, Shen Lin didn't have any dissatisfied emotions.
On the contrary, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and he tentatively said, "Could it be... a demon committed a crime?"
If it were just a general case, Supervisor Qian wouldn't need to specifically look for a constable in the Martial Master realm, sending a few constables would be enough.
Sure enough, Supervisor Qian sighed and said, "The probability is very high. Four brothers went out to handle a case yesterday, but haven't returned yet..."
He told Shen Lin the details of the matter little by little.
Yesterday, a hunter came to the county office to report that he had seen a mutilated corpse beside the Xiangyang Mountain road.
The corpse was gnawed beyond recognition, but the hunter judged from the clothes on its body that this person was not from a nearby village.
It looked like an ordinary murder case.
But Supervisor Qian, to be on the safe side, sent four constables to investigate.
But until now, a whole day has passed, and none of those constables have returned.
What made Supervisor Qian most anxious was that this morning he was chatting with County Commandant Hu and inadvertently heard something.
The county magistrate's distant nephew was coming to join him.
Calculating the time, he should have arrived yesterday.
But yesterday, the county magistrate held a banquet at home and waited all day, but the person didn't arrive.
What if that nameless mutilated corpse was the county magistrate's nephew?
Whether it was bandits killing for money or demons causing trouble, involving the county magistrate's relatives made this case different.
In addition, the constables who went to investigate were missing, which made Supervisor Qian feel that this matter was very likely to be the work of demons.
After all, four constables who had practiced Blood Battle Saber Technique and carried sharp weapons couldn't be stopped by ordinary bandits.
Demons causing trouble and killing the county magistrate's relatives was enough to ruin all the efforts of County Commandant Hu and Supervisor Qian over the years.
Whether it was the position of county commandant or his own position as supervisor, the county magistrate could decide with a single word.
If this matter is not handled well...
Supervisor Qian finished speaking about the details of the case with worry.
But as Shen Lin listened, his eyes gradually brightened, and finally, without waiting for Supervisor Qian to finish, he directly stood up and said, "Supervisor Qian, since the situation is urgent, then I'll take a trip."
"Good, I'm relieved that you're taking action."
Supervisor Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Lin accept the task and said, "That hunter is still in the city. I've already found him and asked him to lead the way for you. Do you want to bring a few more people?"
"No need!"
Shen Lin shook his head and directly said, "If your guess is correct and there are really demons causing trouble, then it's more convenient for me to go alone."
"That's true!"
Supervisor Qian nodded.
Their constables were not like the patrol division with crossbows and iron armor. Ordinary constables would basically have no ability to fight back against a great demon, and might even hinder Shen Lin.
"Then be careful yourself. If you find that the situation is serious and you can't handle it, come back immediately."
"Understood."
After saying goodbye to Supervisor Qian, Shen Lin directly found the hunter and left the city without even going home.
After all, he couldn't just rely on Sun Zhi's side for demon slaying. Now that he had encountered an opportunity, he naturally had to seize it.
Along the way, having nothing to do, he simply took out the Shadowless Step he had just obtained and started reading it.
After a long time, the hunter who was walking halfway up the mountain suddenly stopped.
"Master Shen! We're here!"
But his words received no response.
He turned his head and found Shen Lin holding a book, standing there motionless.
After waiting for a while, the hunter couldn't help but speak again, calling out softly, "Master Shen! Master Shen! We're here!"
This sound finally made Shen Lin react.
He slowly put down the book, revealing his face.
The hunter was stunned when he saw Shen Lin's deep eyes.
In that instant, the sense of vicissitudes he saw in Shen Lin's eyes was even stronger than those elderly people in his village.
The hunter's intuition was correct.
Because just now, after mastering all of the Shadowless Step, Shen Lin began to deduce it.
In the blink of an eye, he had already spent a hundred years in the system.
【Year 1, you start practicing Shadowless Step. Although you don't have a foundation in footwork, you still get started with Shadowless Step relying on your strong body.】
【Year 10, you practice day and night, and your footwork becomes more and more unpredictable, Shadowless Step is a small success.】
【Year 21, the method of Shadowless Step has become your instinct, and you can use wonderful footwork anytime, anywhere. Shadowless Step is a great success!】
【Year 45, for twenty-four years, you have been using Shadowless Step all the time, and finally understood its essence. From then on, your movement is invisible, like a ghost dancing in the shadows. Shadowless Step, Perfection!】
【Year 53, you continue to comprehend Shadowless Step, and finally clearly sense the five meridians associated with Shadowless Step. Perhaps because you have not practiced lightness skills before, three of them are meridians that you have not practiced before.】
【Year 54, you take the Meridian Opening Pill and start to impact the eighth meridian.
After taking two Meridian Opening Pills in a row, you directly opened the eighth meridian, and the strong power of qi and blood rushed into the ninth meridian.
But even with the assistance of residual medicinal power, the progress of opening the ninth meridian is extremely slow.】
【Year 100, after fifty years of hard work, you have opened nearly one-third of the ninth meridian.】
Shadowless Step, Perfection!
Eighth meridian, open!
