The country road at night was not dark at all under the illumination of the round moon overhead.
Kong Yu carried a large sack, panting, following behind Shen Lin.
Even though the sack was very heavy, he didn't show any impatience. On the contrary, he was in a cheerful mood, and the smile on his face never faded.
Because in his sack, he was carrying half a demon body of the Mantis Demon.
Although the demon was killed by Shen Lin, the other party had promised to share the credit with him.
Two months ago, the yamen runner Old Huang followed the constable Sun Zhi to kill a demon, and returned to the county yamen triumphantly.
After that, the old fellow who had been in the county yamen his whole life without any achievements actually bought a house and married a woman. His life now... tsk tsk.
The rewards issued by the Demon Suppression Division, although who knows how many hands they passed through, still amounted to so much when they reached Old Huang's hands.
His harvest this time should not be much different from Old Huang's.
Thinking of this, Kong Yu felt the fatigue swept away, and his whole body was full of strength.
He married into a wealthy family, and usually earned a lot through his status as a yamen runner, so he shouldn't be short of money.
But after all, he was living under someone else's roof, and all the money he earned had to be handed over to his wife, and he had to ask her for instructions in everything.
Even going out for a drink with his colleagues required him to bow and scrape to apply to his wife, how aggrieved.
But now, with the credit for slaying a demon, everything would be different.
Whether it was his father-in-law or his wife, they would look at him with new eyes.
Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Lin gratefully.
Whether it was his life or the shared credit, it was all thanks to Shen Lin.
Ahead, Shen Lin was carrying a sack in one hand, carrying more things than Kong Yu.
But his steps were steady, his breathing calm, and his face showed no abnormality.
Through the hundreds of years of cultivation experience deduced by the system, Shen Lin could already restrain his own energy and blood power within his body, and at this moment he looked like a mortal.
But Kong Yu couldn't forget the terrifying pressure he felt from the other party when he woke up earlier.
That kind of aura was no less than that of Constable Sun Zhi.
The other party was already a martial artist!
Thinking of this, Kong Yu suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "Brother Shen, don't we need to wait for Constable?"
After packing up, they left the room directly, and even the bodies of those colleagues could not be arranged.
According to Shen Lin, these things would be arranged by the county yamen after they went back.
It's just that what Kong Yu didn't understand was, since the demon had been eliminated, why not wait for Constable Sun Zhi to come over before they set off together?
Shen Lin stopped, turned his head, and smiled meaningfully: "No need! Constable will understand what happened when he discovers the situation there."
When the Mantis Demon was talking with Shen Lin earlier, Kong Yu was still in a coma, so naturally he didn't know that his constable had reached an agreement with the demon.
And Shen Lin was not prepared to expose Sun Zhi's true colors for the time being.
Because this Constable Sun still had great use.
......
With a cracking sound, the cowhide official boots broke a dead branch.
Sun Zhi carried the tiger demon corpse, which was larger than his own body, on his shoulder and slowly walked into the small courtyard.
He was tall and had a rough appearance.
It was already late autumn, and the night was cold, but this guy was open-chested at the moment, and heat was constantly rising from his strong muscles.
He suddenly stopped and frowned slowly.
Too quiet!
Realizing something was wrong, his eyes were sharp, and he scanned around.
Bang!
Throwing the tiger demon body aside, he moved his neck, making a crisp sound, and walked towards the house that was still lit with his hand on the handle of his knife.
After walking in, what caught his eye was a mess.
The Mantis Demon, who should have been waiting for him here to help him arrange the scene, was nowhere to be found.
The demon body could be exchanged for rewards from the Demon Suppression Division, so Shen Lin and Kong Yu had endured the nausea before and packed up all the remains.
Even the demon blood was stained with cloth strips and collected.
Therefore, at this moment, no clues of the Mantis Demon were left in the room.
But Sun Zhi twitched his nose and still found something was wrong.
The keen sense of smell of a martial artist allowed him to smell a pungent fishy smell.
This smell...
It seemed to be the blood of a demon.
No!
Sun Zhi suddenly seemed to remember something, left the house, and walked to the warehouse next to him.
After kicking open the warehouse door with a bang, what caught his eye were corpses hanging from the beams.
At least a dozen human corpses, with their limbs removed, hung there like jerky, slowly swaying.
Most of the corpses had been air-dried, and only five corpses were still dripping blood, looking like they had just died not long ago.
Silently counting these corpses, Sun Zhi murmured in a low voice: "Five people..."
He walked forward and began to identify the identities of the others one by one.
Just then, suddenly a corpse opened its eyes.
"Sun... Constable... save me! Save..."
Even though he had been cut into a human stick, he still had a breath left.
Sun Zhi, however, seemed not to notice the plea for help from his yamen runner and walked straight over.
And that person was unable to call for help again, and his trembling lips gradually calmed down.
After observing the corpses one by one, Sun Zhi murmured: "Kong Yu and... Shen Lin!"
His seven yamen runners should have all died here.
Only in this way could it be explained how difficult his battle was this time.
All of his subordinates died in battle, and he himself was seriously injured, but after a hard fight, he finally killed the evil tiger demon.
This was the story he had prepared for the Demon Suppression Division.
But now, the direction of the story had changed.
What exactly happened?
Did a master pass by, discover the Mantis Demon, and kill it?
Or...
Sun Zhi narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, then turned around and returned to the small courtyard, carried the demon tiger corpse on his shoulder, and walked out.
Target, County Yamen!
Whether those two guys solved the Mantis Demon themselves, or whether an outsider helped, it didn't matter.
The most important thing now was to return to the county town and find out how much those two people knew about what he had done.
If they knew too much...
A hint of cold light flashed in Sun Zhi's eyes, and the strong killing intent was almost palpable.
