zero o'clock

[Where is the human soul? 】

At that moment, Li Huan was deeply shocked by the frankness in the man's words. He suddenly felt that he was very lucky to have the rare tenderness in that indifferent and cruel man, to be able to stand beside him and be loved by him. Carefully protect behind the fragility that can only be revealed without worry when facing the most trusted person.

A person who has been trained as a knife and lacks emotions and desires since he was a child, once tempted, his love may not be strong and passionate, but it must be the deepest and most steadfast protection and affection in the world.

Li Huan's heart was greatly touched, he took a deep breath, and calmed down the strong emotion a little bit, he had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it due to the situation at this time, in the end he just held back the other party even harder Hand, said softly: "Sorry."

Xing Yi stared at someone's bright and beautiful eyes for a while, and didn't speak again. He gathered the lead wire and recalled the monster Chenghuang released earlier.

Li Huan lifted the rat demon from his shoulders and said to him, "Is it here?"

Lagrange moved his nose to sniff the air, nodded firmly for a while, and said, "Yes, but there seems to be no one inside?"

He didn't need to say this, Xing Yi and Li Huan could also sense it.

Although the two are not real monsters, they can be affected by the ray of monster soul in their bodies, and their physical functions are far superior to ordinary humans, and the sensitivity of the five senses is not inferior to low-level monsters like Lager.The façade of the human bone building was quiet, without the sound of breathing or heartbeat, which meant that the Nightmare was out hunting, and this was the perfect time to sneak in.

Realizing this, Li Huan looked up at Xing Yi, the two looked at each other, Xing Yi nodded slightly, and manipulated Cheng Huang to go in first to check the situation.

Li Huan put Lagrange on the ground, patted its head, and told him: "Just wait outside, find a place to hide, and don't show up no matter what happens, and don't worry about our lives , when the three hours are up, no matter what the result is, Yan Mo will wake us up, and then you will be safe."

Lagrange was a little embarrassed, but because of the mouse's timid instinct, he nodded obediently, and then quickly ran to the nearest empty house, and the cat hid itself in the debris pile outside the door.Ah Li saw him grinding his teeth in disdain, and said contemptuously, "You bastard."

Li Huan turned to look at it: "You are also waiting outside."

Ari was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Li Huan with a puzzled face: "Why? I am the spiritual pet of Nine-Tails Split Soul. Don't want the old love of the Yin family, meow?"

Xing Yi cast a sideways glance at it expressionlessly, and said coldly, "No."

Ali: "..."

"That's not what it means." Before the fox exploded, Li Huan hurried out to smooth things over, "Now that Nightmare is out, and we know that she is under the orders of Qinglong Chongye, we can take this opportunity to go in and see if there are any clues. But we The two of you are not familiar with the aura of demons. If she suddenly returns during the search, she will be caught off guard, so you help us keep an eye on her here, and as soon as she shows up, we will directly attack her. We will naturally notice the Nine-Tails demon power immediately. Come out and help you."

Ari frowned, thought for a while, and said to himself: "It still sounds very important, meow?"

"Yeah, my Ari is the best. Even if your young master has a new love, he won't be able to let go of your warm living pillow for sleeping in winter." Li Huan poked a certain fox's wet nose, He smiled, "I'll leave the outside to you, take care of Lagrange."

Ari was praised so that her whole body was comfortable, her nine tails swayed back and forth, and she said arrogantly: "Okay then, be careful yourself~"

"Well, don't worry." After finishing speaking, Li Huan walked to Xing Yi's side and said, "How's it going inside? What did your puppet see?"

Xing Yi said: "It's similar to Yan Mo's pawn shop, but it's much more disgusting than that."

The Nightmare used the bones to build a pawn shop, and if he thought about it, other parts of the body would not be wasted. Li Huan was prepared, but he still felt a little nauseous hearing him say that.

"Let's go, we don't know when that woman will come back, and Yan Mo doesn't have much time for us."

Xing Yi nodded and said nothing, leaned against the wall and looked around, and after confirming that there was no such monster nearby, he raised his right hand, made a "follow up" gesture without looking back, and then left without a sound At the entrance of the alley, I got into the increasingly dense drizzle.

The door of the bone building was slightly opened with a crack, which was left by Cheng Huang before entering. According to what the puppet saw and fed back to Xing Yi, it was confirmed that there was no one inside, so the two of them did not stop any longer, and passed through the open space in front of the porch. He pushed the door straight and ran in.

There was no light in the room, and the visibility was almost zero after the door was closed.

Li Huan took out the talisman paper and ignited a cluster of dark green karmic fires as lighting, and walked slowly towards a deeper place.

Xing Yi followed behind him, staring at the bunch of karmic fires with some concern for a while, and said softly: "I saw you igniting this kind of fire when I was in the darkroom underground at first. I thought it was the talisman paper that was different. Now it seems that it is the influence of Phoenix Soul."

Li Huan gave a faint "hmm", with a helpless smile on his face, and said, "You know, if Chongye hadn't appeared to force the teacher to tell the truth, I probably would never have known that I was just a half-demon. It hit me more than once to doubt whether I was a monster or a human, after all, I can't summon a soul, and I don't know the type of monster on my body, if I can't use simple illusion and this kind of fire, I am no different from a mortal."

While talking, the two walked through the corridor and stopped in front of a door at the end.

The monster Chenghuang poked out the fox face from the crack of the door, looked at its master with its vacant eyes, and wagged its tail obediently.Xing Yi didn't even look at it, he just lifted the lead wire and took it back to the scroll.

Li Huan watched the man's movement of knotting the scroll from the side, smiled meaningfully, and asked in confusion: "It's strange, you are so fierce to the puppet, but the little demon is still willing to trust you, why is that?"

"I don't care about other monsters, as long as you trust me is enough." Xing Yi said silently, and then said, "Behind this door is the collection of Nightmare. She took out human bones and built this A pawn shop, where the leftovers are placed.”

As Xing Yi spoke, he pushed open the bone door in front of him, and with a soft creak, the door panel opened inward.Li Huan subconsciously took a few steps forward, and the karmic fire swayed, pouring green light into it, reflecting the tall multi-treasure stands on the floor and projecting strange scenes.

"I'll go over there to have a look." Xing Yi said.

Li Huan nodded, and approached the two rows of multi-treasure racks in front of him.

Different from Yan Mo's pawn shop, there are no quartz bell jars placed on these multi-treasure racks. Instead, there are jars filled with antiseptic liquid, which are soaked with various internal organs that have been drained of blood. On a paper of a strange texture, the type of offal and a date are written on it in brown liquid.

Passing through several rows of multi-treasure racks like this, Li Huan stopped in front of a jar with a very fresh liquid color, and gently rubbed the paper surface of the label with his fingertips. Textures and some... hair?

It's human skin!

Li Huan withdrew his hand abruptly, his brows were frowned, and he thought that the Nightmare was really not an ordinary pervert, and the materials on the collectibles were not wasted at all, they were all used by her on the pawnshop itself and the things inside. It is really the commonality of demons——

and many more!

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized something, raised the cluster of karma and looked around.This showroom is not too big, and the layout is transparent. There are no screens or curtains. Just in case, Li Huan walked around the outermost one to make sure that there is no darkness in the walls themselves. Door locks and stuff.

"Xing Yi!" he called out, "Have you noticed that something is missing here?"

Hearing the cry, Xing Yi hurried over and said, "What did you find?"

Li Huan said: "The first time I went to Yan Mo's Wanqing pawn shop, I was invited by him to talk behind a screen. In that tea room, there was a blue and white porcelain water tank, which contained a black liquid like ink and those The soul of the monster that he traded with. And here—” He turned to look at the multi-treasure shelf, and continued with some uncertainty, “The Nightmare built a pawnshop with human bones, collected internal organs, used human skin as paper, and human blood If you are Mo, then... where are the souls of these people?"

Xing Yi was startled, and continued following Li Huan's words: "Maybe she doesn't need a soul, or maybe it's not her who needs a soul."

"Nightmare is a middleman?" Li Huan speculated, "She collects these things according to her hobbies, and at the same time provides human souls for the next family, and the demand for the next family is not small."

Xing Yi was noncommittal, and asked instead: "But this can't explain her relationship with Qinglong."

Li Huan said: "Perhaps we have overcomplicated the relationship between her and Chong Ye. No matter how weak the Nightmare is, it is still a demon, and no matter how strong the Qinglong is, it is nothing more than a demon. It is unreasonable for a demon to bow down to a demon. It may also be a relationship of interest, but what can Chongye get from Nightmare?"

"It's a human." Xing Yi said, "Nightmare travels through dreams to find objects of interest. She is the demon who has contacted the most human beings."

Li Huan was puzzled: "Chongye needs someone...in order to find a container for the Phoenix soul?"

"This should be on the one hand," Xing Yi pondered for a while, and then said, "There is another point, he needs the two souls of Qingluan collected from the resurrection of the body, and also needs a large number of living people to verify the success rate of the fusion technology. If it is In this way—" He paused suddenly, his face sank, "Could it be that I also..."

Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help opening his eyes slightly, and walked over to grab Xing Yi's arm: "Don't think too much, these are just our guesses, not necessarily—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside, and the coercion of the nine-tailed demon fox shook, shaking the whole human bone pawn shop.Xing Yi and Li Huan looked at each other briefly for a second, and then one drew his sword, and the other directly summoned the monster Chongming. The two rushed out of the showroom and ran outside without any communication.

At this moment in the second dream, the rain is heavy, the black air is scattered, and the charming laughter of a woman can be heard above the night.

The tail of the nine-tailed fox spirit was spread out, its forelegs were bent down, and its white fangs were bared, and it let out a threatening low whine.

All of a sudden, the black air gathered and formed into a beautiful woman with black veil and long hair. The Nightmare floated in mid-air, with winking eyes. She stared down at the nine-tailed fox spirit on the ground, and said softly: "I knew you would Come on, Yan Mo is the leader of Mo Luo, but he was fascinated by a fox demon, it is really a shame to us demons."

"What about you?" Li Huan rushed out of the pawnshop and shouted to the sky, "How do you and Chongye explain?"

Nightmare smiled lowly and turned to look at him: "How can other monsters be compared with Lord Qinglong? The master and the demon are only one step away. If he becomes a demon in time, then what kind of thing is Yan Mo?"

Li Huan was instantly shocked: "Chongye...want to become a demon?!"

"That's right, after a thousand years, Yan Mo was banned between the two worlds of Yin and Yang. His identity has long been in name only, and now the position of the head of the demon should be replaced by someone else." Nightmare Demon rolled his eyes, and the tip of his tongue slipped out. He licked the seam of his bright red lips, "Speaking of which, the master needs the last wisp of phoenix soul in your body, so how dare Nine Tails let you come here, you are really stupid!"

Li Huan's brows tightened when he heard this, and he said angrily, "Shut up!"

After he had finished speaking, a more powerful coercion swept away, shaking the rain in disorder, and Li Huan, the nightmare demon who was in the confrontation, was startled at the same time, and they all looked at Ari who was not far away at the same time.

The whole body of the nine-tailed fox spirit glowed with a dazzling white light. Under the light, its body began to swell and grow, its long tail swayed, and its snow-white fur was smooth and shiny. changed.

Li Huan narrowed his eyes, but felt that his eyes looked very familiar, and subconsciously called out: "Teacher?"

Nightmare showed fear on his face, and shook his head in disbelief: "Nine Tails? It's not a spiritual pet, it's the body of Nine Tails?!"

As if to confirm her guess, the nine-tailed demon fox transformed into a human.

Qi Jingyu was wearing a big cloak, and his whole face was hidden under the shadow of the hood. The man stretched out his hand to slightly lift the edge of the hood, and raised his eyelashes. The cold eyes with a sneering smile gently fell on the Nightmare body.

"Ahli is both a spiritual pet and a ray of demon soul of this deity. The three souls can be transformed into each other. Didn't Chong Ye tell you about this?" Qi Jingyu slowly curled the corners of his mouth, and the chill in his eyes was even stronger, " It is naturally impossible for the deity to let the little apprentice take risks alone, but I don't mind letting him practice with you."

"You!" Nightmare was trembling with anger, gritted his teeth and said, "I am a demon after all, and Nine-Tails, you despise me too much!"

Qi Jingyu smiled, and asked back: "So what, the deity is here today, and I have to watch the little apprentice kill you, an ignorant demon, with his own hands, and see who you and I are so stupid?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Huan, and said in a soft tone: "Xiao Huan, you can just rest assured that you are here as a teacher. If this demon dares to hurt you in the slightest, as a teacher, let her experience what is called life." Better to die."

At the same time, Wanqing pawnshop a certain bedroom.

Ahri, who had just been exchanged, was crushed under Yan Mo, with a look of horror on his face, looked at him with a look of snake spirit, and said weakly: "Uh... do you love beasts? Sorry, I'm not good." Well, I'm still more interested in the Samoyed in the alley next door."

Yan Mo: "..."

Master Mo Luo's face was covered with blood, and he thought that the fox was so unreasonable, how could he change his soul casually at this time? !What should I do if I leave a psychological shadow and become wilted when I think about it? ! (╯‵口′)╯︵┻━┻————————End ~(≧▽≦)/~—————————
