Chapter 308 Demon Race Or Demon Race
Chapter 308 Demon Race Or Demon Race
There has been a series of murders in Jin Ling City, and the victims are all powerful Divine Ability practitioners. This news quickly spread among the Divine Ability practitioners in Jin Ling City.
The news was released by Jin Ling'er herself, but it was only limited to the Divine Ability level.
She warned all Divine Ability Realm individuals, especially those newly promoted, to be extremely cautious and not to go out alone at night.
As a precaution, even the Divine Soul cultivators close to the Divine Ability Realm should also be mindful of their own safety.
Currently, there have only been two victims, which is not enough to be considered a serial case. However, the similarities between the two victims are too many. To avoid causing serious consequences, Jin Ling'er decided to report it first.
As for not letting most people know, it is to avoid causing panic.
After delegating the aftermath to others, Jin Ling'er stayed in the Law Enforcement Hall and carefully observed the body of the marquis.
"Hei Xin, what do you think?"
Hei Xin is the head of the Law Enforcement Hall in Jin Ling City. His appearance is fierce, and he is intimidating even when not angry. The city relies on him to deter the weak.
Now that such a heinous case has occurred in the city, he is naturally the most eager to solve it.
After careful consideration, Hei Xin replied, "They may have died from a kind of illusion technique, but I don't know what the killer gains from killing them. I have investigated and found no connection between the two victims, so it shouldn't be a vendetta."
"Perhaps someone is practicing some kind of evil technique."
Jin Ling'er added, "Yesterday's victim was killed after being expelled by his companions, and he looked angry. Today's marquis was in high spirits, coming to customize a Law Treasure, and he looked happy. Perhaps it was their emotions that guided the killer to find them. If this line of thinking is correct, the next victim may show different emotions."
"Saintess is wise."
Hei Xin quickly flattered, and of course, he was genuinely impressed.
To deduce so much from these few clues, she truly deserves to be called the Saintess.
Ignoring the flattery from her subordinate, Jin Ling'er continued to think along this line of thought. She hesitated and said, "This method is somewhat similar to that of the Demon Race."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hei Xin became extremely serious.
The Demon Race is a race that was long ago banished to the Nine Netherworlds Prison, but they still have followers in the human realm.
Naturally, the righteous people are helpless about this.
These demons were originally part of the human race, but for some reason, they thought that the human race was inferior and the Demon Race was superior.
If the Demon Race were strong and the human race weak, it would be understandable for them to seek survival by currying favor. Although there have been cases like this, it can still be understood.
But it just so happens that humans are stronger than demons, and the Demon Race has been banished. It is unknown what these people are thinking, but they insist on associating with the Demon Race.
And of course, the Demon Race would not miss the opportunity to cause trouble in the human realm. Since their banishment, they have also taught many human Demon Race secret techniques, such as devouring emotions and using emotions, which many demons can also use.
Apart from that, only some extremely rare exotic beasts can do it.
And these exotic beasts have spirits and are not bold enough to cause trouble in a place like Jin Ling City. Only the demons would be so lawless.
Realizing that it might be the work of demons, both of them had unpleasant expressions.
Demons are a group of lunatics. Instead of being good humans, they insist on being demons. Can they not be crazy?
When these lunatics start to act, they truly don't care about their lives or rules.
If the troublemakers in Jin Ling City are really demons, it could involve something much deeper.
In any case, for now, they can only investigate and hope that it is not the work of demons.
The news of the serial murders quickly reached Long Yan's ears because there are quite a few people here who meet the criteria.
She and Qing Que are both close to the Divine Ability level, while Jin Bian and Miao Yin are both Divine Ability practitioners.
It is expected that the killer should not target Jin Bian, as he is a peak Divine Ability practitioner, but Miao Yin is indeed not safe.
After receiving the news, Long Yan solemnly stated that no one was allowed to leave without permission, especially not to act alone, especially at night.
After Long Yan finished speaking, everyone was secretly alarmed.
Some of them still didn't know that Liu Xin had died outside, and now they were afraid when they learned that there was a serial killer.
Zhang Chi only now knew that Liu Xin had died like this. He thought it was the Golden Whip that had taken care of Liu Xin!
"This is somewhat like the methods of the Demon Race."
Gu Youyou pondered for a moment before expressing her speculation.
The intelligence that Jin Ling'er gave to Long Yan was the most accurate, and Long Yan had also received Liu Xin's body, so the information she shared was relatively complete.
Gu Youyou herself was a member of the Demon Race, so she naturally had a better understanding of the Demon Race's power.
"If you think so, then it's probably true."
Zhang Chi believed in Gu Youyou's judgment, but he felt that the troublemaker was probably not from the Demon Race, but a demon.
Only demons acted so recklessly and lawlessly.
To dare to commit a series of murders in Jin Ling City, and to do so in such a high-profile manner, abandoning the bodies in crowded places, it was simply provocative.
Wasn't this clearly slapping the face of the White Tiger Sect?
The White Tiger Sect would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Moreover, since Gu Youyou could sense that it might be the work of the Demon Race, Jin Ling'er might also investigate in that direction.
Zhang Chi was afraid that the investigation would eventually lead to him, after all, he really had a demon inside him.
"So, let's keep a low profile recently and not cause trouble."
"When haven't you said that?"
Gu Youyou mercilessly mocked.
While the two were arguing, Long Yan had already finished explaining the situation. Then, she took the Golden Whip and went to set up several defensive formations at their residence.
There were few of them, and this place was relatively remote. They were afraid that the killer would take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. By setting up defensive formations, they could react quickly if anything happened.
In this way, everyone nervously awaited the arrival of the night.
Qing Que and Miao Yin were both girls and both from the Celestial Melody Pavilion, so naturally, they huddled together and went to a room.
The several other men, besides Zhang Chi, also stuck together. They had been listed as suspects together before, but their relationship had improved afterwards.
Zhang Chi wasn't afraid of being alone. If the other party really wanted to find him, it would be a good opportunity for him to experience what surprise meant.
He wasn't afraid to cultivate alone in the room, but suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Zhang Chi's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, Gu Youyou sensed it and discovered that it was Long Yan outside. She couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Nonsense, reason is reason, emotions are emotions!"
Zhang Chi was somewhat annoyed.
But this fear couldn't be blamed on him, it was caused by the atmosphere.
It was like someone who believed that there were no ghosts, but after watching a horror movie, they would feel like there were people everywhere in their house. Zhang Chi was in a similar state.
Even though he knew that as long as Gu Youyou was with him, he wouldn't be in danger, the wind outside was howling, and suddenly someone knocking on the door still startled him.
Since Gu Youyou was teasing him, it meant that there was no big problem.
Zhang Chi walked over and opened the door, only to find that Long Yan was standing outside.
She was wearing a gorgeous red dress, which was very different from her usual style.
"Why are you here?"
"I was worried that you would be scared, so I came to accompany you. Can I come in?" (End of this chapter)
