Judgment

Zhou Zimu stroked the purple clay pot in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the two monsters standing in the east corner of the house.

Over there, Wang Chen was looking at a picture scroll curiously, and William was standing beside him.Although the two of them had no verbal communication, a tacit understanding seemed to develop naturally. Just standing there, there was no room for others to participate.

Zhou Zimu's gaze still turned away from the purple clay pot. He thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the relationship between the two demons.Even though he had learned some information about Wang Chen recently, such as the identity of the seemingly sensational candidate for the Demon King, he still felt that he couldn't see through them.

Wang Chen, who doesn't seem to be very keen on fighting for the throne, and William, who doesn't care about it.If these two demons were really allowed to win the battle for the throne in the future, wouldn't it be these two lazy guys who ruled all the monsters?

Zhou Zimu felt a little emotional for the future of the monsters.

"Come here, look at this." Wang Chen suddenly waved to him.

Liu Tao behind him pushed Zhou Zimu over to have a look, and saw that he was referring to a modern work.

The painting is about the small bridges and flowing water in Sioux City, and the willows hanging down by the river.The painting seems to be the scenery at the end of spring, and some flying catkins are added to the scroll.

Zhou Zimu is not good at this, but he can still tell at a glance that this is a good painting.Especially in the left corner of the painting, an old man is holding a boat, looking at the tourists coming and going on the bridge with a calm expression.

"Not bad, do you want to buy it?"

Wang Chen shook his head, "I'm not showing you the paintings, you should look carefully at the people on the bridge."

Zhou Zimu looked intently, and Muran was startled.Among the many tourists painted on the bridge, there is a figure of a man whose brush and ink are not very heavy.

However, such a shallow stroke seems to outline the soul of this person.Looking at it now, it seems that the man in the painting is also looking at you.

In this painting, the man's eyebrows and eyes were not drawn.But it makes people feel that he is looking at you with those dark eyes, as if he can see everything in your heart.

It seems that all the weaknesses in your heart will be seen through by him at a glance.

"Who is this...?" Zhou Zimu was a little startled.

"That's the monster we're looking for, Ji Xuan. Bai Fei, come and see if this is your boss." Wang Chen said to Niao Ren who pretended to ignore it.

"Hehe, there is no face, how can I recognize it?" Bai Fei laughed.

Wang Chen glanced at him, "Just being inadvertently painted in the painting has such awe-inspiring aura. If his demon appears, I'm not his opponent."

William had confirmed through his breath just now that it was undoubtedly Ji Xuan who was painted on this painting.

The author of the picture scroll must have seen Ji Xuan by accident, and then included him in the painting, but now he gave Wang Chen and the others a chance to find Ji Xuan.

"Looks like the plan has to be changed." Wang Chen paused as he spoke. "After finding Ji Xuan, we can't fight him immediately."

The monster steward at the side agreed very much.

"Make a decision before moving. You are right, Your Highness."

But Wang Chen didn't accept his flattery, "You must have seen the gap between me and Ji Xuan very early on. Why didn't you wake me up when I went to form an alliance with Berman?"

"I think it's much more useful for you to understand the gap than my hard work." William said: "After you entered the magic way, everything went smoothly. I thought that if you didn't suffer a loss, you would not be able to correctly understand your own strength."

"So you think I'm the kind of monster who gets arrogant just because of his strength?" Wang Chen hummed.After a long while, he said again: "Forget it, we still need to have a good discussion about dealing with Ji Xuan."

He looked at the black shadow on the painting in his hand.

"The next time you meet Ji Xuan, you must have the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with him." The faint words expressed the unwillingness and ambition in Wang Chen's heart.

The rest of the people nodded silently, only William came out to pour cold water on it.

"If you continue to practice vegetarianism, this day will probably never come." He added: "I think it is more reliable to choose a realistic goal, Your Highness."

"...William, have I neglected you recently?"

William showed a question mark on his face.

"You've been contradicting me lately to get my attention."

Wang Chen patted him on the shoulder, "I know that when a newcomer arrives, you will inevitably be ignored. Next time, if you feel lonely, please tell me, and I will consider paying more attention to you."

The monster steward's face was almost tense, but seeing Wang Chen's smiling expression, he could only respond.

"Understood, Your Highness." Do you want to say something else, thank you for your majesty's favor?

Zhou Zimu secretly looked at Wang Chen, and added one more thing to his evaluation in his heart - if it is not necessary, don't provoke him, this person will get revenge.

Just as the monsters in the room ignored the shop owner and enjoyed themselves, a cowardly voice sounded outside the house.

"Well, hello..."

All the demons and people turned their heads in unison, only to see a handsome girl standing at the door of the shop.

Seeing so many people staring at her, Pei Feifei was a little nervous for a while.

"Sorry, am I a little late?"

"No, just in time."

Wang Chen smiled and saw that she was about to scoop up the scroll in her hand and ask.Suddenly, the eyes light up. "What happened, your face is not very good?"

Pei Feifei looked a little sad, "It's nothing."

Wang Chen said with sincere concern, "I bothered you to come and help. If there is any inconvenience, I'm very sorry."

"No, it's not because of you, it's because of me..."

"What's the trouble?" Wang Chen paused and smiled softly. "After all, I would trouble you to come here. If you have any troubles, can you tell me? See if we can help?"

William silently felt the joyful atmosphere emanating from Wang Chen, and then watched him show a caring and gentle smile at the girl, and wisely chose to shut up.

Pei Feifei's restless heart because of the series of things she encountered today seemed to be soothed by Wang Chen's smile.So involuntarily, he described what happened in the morning one by one.

After speaking, everyone reacted differently.

Liu Tao looked interested, as if he had heard an interesting story; Zhou Zimu looked indifferent, and had no special reaction; Bai Fei seemed not to be listening attentively; as for Wang Chen and William, they found some clues from it.

The death of Pei Feifei's friend made them smell something of a monster.

"Hey, what a crime, I don't know how many people this is." The shop owner came over at some point, and interrupted, "Several people have died since last month, and they all died violently for no reason. , Counting this, there are almost ten people."

"Boss, do you also know about this?"

The shop owner approached, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This has happened several times. Every morning, people are found dead for no apparent reason in several hotels."

Pei Feifei frowned, "I go to school nearby, why didn't I know about this?"

"Who dares to come after knowing! We rely on tourism to develop our economy here, and the people above are suppressed and are not allowed to report."

Pei Feifei looked angry, "Aren't they worried that someone will die in vain if they do this?"

"No way, leaders also care about political achievements. No one comes to travel and their performance is not good." The shop owner shrugged, "Xiao Pei, I advise you to leave quickly. The city is not peaceful recently. Maybe something big will happen.”

Pei Feifei nodded reluctantly with a worried expression on her face.

"You know each other?" Wang Chen looked at the two of them.

"This little Pei is an excellent student of Su Yi. Many of her paintings have been sold by me, so of course I am familiar with them." The boss laughed and pointed to the painting in Wang Chen's hand. "Here, the one in your hand was consigned to me a month ago by her."

It took no effort to get here, I didn't expect that the person I was going to look for was right in front of me.Wang Chen looked at Pei Feifei, recalled what happened around her, and thought again.

"By the way, you called me to help. What's the matter?" Pei Feifei suddenly remembered the business and asked.

"It's okay, we've found someone." Wang Chen looked at her, "It's close at hand."

"what?"

Finally, Wang Chen asked her where she drew the painting, but she had an impression of the tourists in the painting.Pei Feifei only said a few words vaguely, and said that she couldn't remember the rest clearly.In the afternoon, Pei Feifei left the hotel to pack up and salute.

"She didn't tell the truth." William said suddenly.Pei Feifei was vague about many of their questions, obviously having scruples.

Wang Chen said: "It doesn't matter if she tells the truth or not. Anyway, as long as you keep an eye on them, you will have clues."

"I have a hunch that something will happen to them." Wang Chen said the same thing as the leader of the scavenger red team at this time.What a coincidence.

At this time, Liu Tao suddenly yelled. "No, the birdman is gone! I just realized that something is wrong with him today, he must have escaped! That guy!"

Turning left and looking right, he did not see Bai Fei.Zhou Zimu pointed to the door, "He followed Pei Feifei out just now."

"That animal abuser, what does he want to do to the little girl!" Liu Tao looked sad and angry, "I hope the poor monk won't accept him!"

"—Who do you want to take?" A dark voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Bai Fei came back at some time. "Why, I'm going to find someone else's little girl, are you jealous?"

"You you you you you, where did you go just now?"

"Just as you said, I followed the little girl."

Liu Tao looked at him with such eyes, and Bai Fei then said another sentence. "By the way, I ate a few stalking mice."

He licked his lips and smiled slightly at Liu Tao. "If I keep starving, I'm going to go crazy."

"Is someone following Pei Feifei?" Wang Chen frowned. "Is there someone else following her, or are they coming after us?"

"That's not necessarily the case, young master." Bai Fei said with a smile: "Although the other party came for the monsters, they may not have discovered us. Their goal is the same as yours, they are all staring at the monsters that caused these murders. "

Wang Chen said in a low voice, "Scavenger?"

"Yes, and this time it's the red team that is known for its cruel methods." Bai Fei squinted and smiled, "This show will definitely be very exciting."

On the other hand, after the red team received the news that their subordinates disappeared for no reason, we will not mention how they will behave.Only Pei Feifei and the others were mentioned, because they were interrogated by the police for a while, and they couldn't leave tonight temporarily.She had no choice but to live here, but Sun Jiahui was unwilling to live in that room again, so Pei Feifei had no choice but to take her into her own room.

At night, Xu Ru looked coldly at Pei Feifei who was comforting Sun Jiahui, opened the door and went out.

"I'm going to live outside." After speaking, he ignored the two girls who were comforting each other in the room and left.

"Why is she so indifferent?" Sun Jiahui wiped away her tears and said embarrassingly, "Xiaoqi is dead, and I haven't seen how sad she is."

Pei Feifei thought to herself, you and Chen Xiaoqi spend all day fabricating rumors to slander Xu Ru, how could people give you good looks.Once Chen Xiaoqi died, it would be good if she didn't gloat.Thinking so in her heart, she put on a sympathetic expression on her face, and said with some hesitation: "It's so late, where is she going to live alone?"

"You don't care about her! Anyway, she has a lot of ways." Sun Jiahui held her mouth, "She is raised by someone, unlike us common people, who have no money and no color. By the way, you lived with her for one night, did you notice her? What's wrong?"

Sun Jiahui began to gossip again, Pei Feifei didn't remember crying when she saw her in the blink of an eye, and even if she cried today, she always talked about how pitiful she was, without mentioning Chen Xiaoqi.

Her heart was cold, but she still said enthusiastically: "It's nothing special."

"What..." Sun Jiahui was a little disappointed.

"But it seems that I made a phone call last night. I don't know who it is."

"It must be the man who took care of her! How about it, did you hear what they said?"

"I didn't hear clearly."

The two chatted and fell asleep.

At night, it rained in bursts.

Pei Feifei was woken up by the sound of rain in the middle of the night, and looked around in a daze, but she didn't see Sun Jiahui's figure, and she was startled.

"Jiahui, Jiahui! Where have you been?"

"...I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be out soon." Pei Feifei was relieved when she heard a reply from the bathroom.

"Then hurry up, I'll go to bed first."

"kindness."

After Pei Feifei was relieved, she turned over on the bed and continued to sleep.

However, she didn't notice the bathroom behind her. There seemed to be a faint sound of water and a faint sound.

"I'll be out right away, right away..." The voice looped strangely for a long time, accompanied by low laughter.

Click, the bathroom door opened.Sun Jiahui came out staggeringly, seeming to be a little confused. After a long time, she walked straight to Pei Feifei who was on the bed.

At the foot, there is a trail of water all the way.

A winter thunderstorm outside the window!Boom!

The thunder light illuminated the room, only to see a trace of water dragged out on the ground, which was actually bright red and blood-colored!

"... Feifei, I'm coming out."

The girl let out a giggle, and stretched out her hand to Pei Feifei on the bed——

"I'm coming out to accompany you."
