Chapter 37
"If there is any good inn in a small town, it must be shabby. I was born in a noble family, and I am used to rich clothes and fine food. It was not long after I inherited the title that I would not stay in such a shabby inn.
"
Bai Yu snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.
The moment he turned around, he blinked at Zheng Yan'er.
He didn't know if it was too late to leave now.
Judging from the case reports, the police came to the town to check, and they all came back alive. They were just sick, but not dead. From this, it seems that this monster does not want to make things worse, but just wants to slowly "harvest" the town.
common people.
The old county magistrate also came to check and returned alive, and he was not sick at all. It can be seen from this that the monster does not want to touch the court officials yet. Otherwise, if a seventh-level monster wants to deal with a county magistrate, it will be too easy
.
He didn't know how sharp the seventh-level monster's ears were.
Therefore, he didn't dare to say it openly, otherwise he might be killed immediately...
He could only say such a meaningless sentence and hint with his eyes, hoping that Zheng Yan'er would understand his good intentions.
"The Secretary of the Criminal Department really likes to hang around as much as the rumors say."
The old county magistrate was disappointed, "I just saw that he was very interested in the case. I thought he was different from other officials, but it turns out they are all the same."
Fortunately, Zheng Yan'er is not stupid, and there are no people in the Demon Slayer Division who are not smart.
She stared at Bai Yu's figure slowly walking away in a daze, carefully recalling what he said before leaving and the blink of an eye when he turned around.
On the way here, he told her, "I offered Tianxiang Jade Dew and was named the male of Qifeng County."
But now it is said that "I was born into a noble family and inherited a noble title."
There is an obvious contradiction between the two passages.
"What does he seem to be reminding me of?"
"But you dare not say it directly?"
"He may have discovered something terrible, but he didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only remind me with such contradictory words."
Zheng Yaner's heart trembled.
When the Demon Exterminator goes out to perform tasks, she often encounters dangers. Sometimes it is not convenient to speak too clearly, so she will use various code words to give reminders. She is no stranger to this.
Zheng Yan'er asked seemingly casually, "How is the condition of the inn in the town?"
The old county magistrate was stunned for a moment. Just now she said that it didn't matter if she didn't have an inn, and she could just find a place for one night. I don't understand why she cares about the accommodation conditions. Do women always mean what they say?
Zheng Yan'er stretched out her hands and said lazily, "There should be a big bathtub. It took three days to get to Jinhe County from Jingzhao Mansion. It was so dusty. I have to take a good bath."
???The old county magistrate had questions all over his head.
Zheng Yan'er said, "How skilled are the cooks in the inn? I don't know if they suit my taste. Can they cook Jingzhao Mansion's dishes?"
The old county magistrate's face completely froze, "There are very few passers-by in this town, and the inn has little business, so the conditions are naturally not good. There is no bathtub or cook, and there is only one elderly man."
"No, there is no cook or cook in the bathtub. What kind of inn can you call it? I thought the conditions were just bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. This is not a place for people to live. If it doesn't work, I have to go back to Jinhe."
Go to the county seat."
Zheng Yan'er complained and walked out.
The old county magistrate's face was ashen.
The Secretary of the Criminal Department was just dawdling around, but he didn't expect that the Demon Slayer Department would be so spoiled and pampered. He was extremely disappointed.
When the two investigators left, he could only follow them.
He couldn't find anything last time, so he had no choice but to rely on these two, a young master and a young lady...
The old county magistrate followed Zheng Yaner out of the town on horseback.
At the beginning, Zheng Yaner was neither fast nor slow. After getting farther away from the town, she suddenly spurred her horse to gallop.
The old county magistrate's horse couldn't run that fast, so he could only follow with difficulty. He didn't understand why she was in such a hurry.
After ten or twenty miles, I caught up with Bai Yu.
The old county magistrate's horse sprayed white mist from its muzzle and nose and almost died of exhaustion. Zheng Yan'er's beautiful white horse was calm and wandering. It was obvious that it had not exerted its full strength, otherwise the county magistrate would definitely not be able to keep up.
"what have you found?"
Zheng Yan'er rode her horse over and walked alongside Bai Yu. Bai Yu's horse tilted its head slightly and rubbed the beautiful white horse's head. Zheng Yan'er was now concerned about the case and didn't care about this, "This is far enough away from the town, so to speak.
"
The old county magistrate was startled, and then he realized that the two of them were just looking for an excuse to leave the town. He was a little embarrassed and had misunderstood the two of them. He didn't expect that the young people today were so powerful that he didn't even react.
"High-level monster!"
Bai Yu looked back at the direction of the town, feeling lingering fear, "After returning to Jinhe County, report it to the Demon Slayer Department immediately and send a top demon slayer over. The Demon Slayer Department should be able to deal with monsters above level seven, right?"
Zheng Yan'er said, "Don't worry, there are no demons in the world that our Demon Slayer Division cannot contain."
Bai Yu couldn't get used to her loud tone, "The Beast King fell from the sky into the wasteland, can your Demon Exterminator take over?"
Zheng Yan'er was choked and glanced at him with her clear eyes. She had no intention of arguing with him now, "Tell me quickly, how did you discover the monster? My monster detection plate didn't detect it."
"This is my unique secret skill, I can't comment on it."
Bai Yu responded calmly.
Just like the secret skill of calling her name before? It’s not easy for Zheng Yan’er to delve into it. Just like everyone in the Demon Slayer Department has their own “secret skills” that they won’t show off easily.
Zheng Yan'er said, "I have to confirm that you have really discovered a high-level monster. What does the monster you found look like and what are its characteristics? Please describe it in more detail. The time of the top demon slayers in the Demon Slayer Department is precious."
, if false news is misrepresented, he will definitely become furious.”
Bai Yu said, "I didn't see the monster with my own eyes."
Zheng Yan'er frowned, "Then how are you sure there is a high-level monster?"
Bai Yu didn't know how to explain it, so he thought for a while and said, "I used my unique secret technique and found the black air billowing in the temple, so I knew there was a demon. Then, your demon detection plate showed no response, which means that the monster's level exceeds that of the demon detection disk."
The upper limit of the demon plate is seven levels and above."
"If you have black energy, you are a demon. Who told you this fallacy?"
Zheng Yan'er was in disbelief, "Didn't I say before that there are three situations when the monster detection disk fails to respond; first, there is no monster, second, the monster is out of range, and third, the level of the monster exceeds the upper limit. You found that the temple is emitting black gas, and the monster detector
If there is no response, it should be the first situation, there is no monster at all!"
Bai Yu's face gradually became serious... The black energy in the temple was not a demon, so the demon detection disk didn't respond, so he guessed wrong, so he was so scared that he pissed himself. So it was just a false alarm?... He
Scaring yourself?
Zheng Yan'er rolled her eyes, "Let me tell you, it's not so easy to encounter high-level monsters. Since the establishment of the Demon Slayer Department, we haven't encountered a few high-level monsters in total!"
The county magistrate looked at Bai Yu strangely, not knowing what to say.
Bai Yu pondered for a moment, feeling that these words could save his face, "My Lord, I act with prudence. Since the situation was unknown at that time, I evacuated decisively and planned for it slowly."
He then thought, "What if the black air coming out of the small town temple is a demon? If the demon detection disk doesn't respond, we can't rule out the possibility of a high-level demon."
Zheng Yan'er sneered, "How can there be so many chances? You might be killed by a meteorite falling from the sky while you are walking on the road."
The little girl has no grievances and no enmity, and she will not curse people like this! Bai Yu glanced at her, and when he saw her looking over, he quickly looked away. Is the Demon Exterminator great?
The old county magistrate said, "Ms. Zheng is right. Since the founding of the Daqian Kingdom, the great demons with great power, rivers and seas, and high spiritual intelligence dare not come out to cause trouble at will. Only when troubled times are approaching, will demons dance wildly. Nowadays, In the age of peace and prosperity, monsters above level seven have not been seen for hundreds of years."
Well, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, so we should not be so lucky to meet... Bai Yu was convinced, "Since the black energy of the temple is not a demon, then what is it?"
