Chapter 39: Phantom Worm
Time passed quickly, and it was dawn. Bian Qing had just arrived at the yamen when he learned from the constable that the Black Ridge police officer had died suddenly last night.
Bian Qing pretended to be surprised and asked hurriedly: "What happened to the police officer? Who did it? Has he been caught?"
The constable hesitated and whispered: "It is said that the county magistrate personally went to investigate. There were no signs of fighting at the scene. The police officer died peacefully. He died suddenly, not assassinated."
Died suddenly?
Haha, the county magistrate's excuse is too bad!
The Black Ridge police officer is a strong warrior! How could he die suddenly!
Bian Qing guessed that the person who did it was Li Jiu, but he couldn't understand why the county magistrate covered for Li Jiu.
Could it be that Li Jiu knew the county magistrate?
If he really knew him, why would Li Jiu go to the chief clerk to buy Tiemu? It would be better to go directly to the county magistrate.
Seeing that Bian Qing looked strange, the constable whispered, "Boss, don't be impulsive. Everyone knows that there is something strange, but the other party is the county magistrate, and we can't provoke him."
Bian Qing waved his hand, "Why should I be impulsive? Isn't sudden death a very normal thing? Even the prefect died suddenly, who else can't die suddenly?"
The corner of the constable's mouth twitched, and he always felt that Bian Qing was wrong, as if he had changed.
Even ordinary people knew that the sudden death of the prefect was a cover-up!
The prefect was a fourth-rank official! He had more power than many third-rank officials! Not to mention his strength. The Tianyuan Dynasty attached great importance to military force. If you are not strong enough, you can't be a prefect.
"I understand."
"Help me call a few carriages. I want to transport the iron mother out." Bian Qing ordered.
"Boss, didn't you call the carriage outside the yamen?" The constable asked.
Bian Qing was even more certain that Li Jiu had done it after hearing this. "I didn't sleep well last night and forgot about this. Come with me to move the iron mothers."
The constable didn't doubt anything and went with a few brothers to move them.
Twenty minutes later, ten carriages carrying a large number of iron mothers left the government office and drove to the Black Fox Gang's base.
Seeing Li Jiu again, Bian Qing felt that all his years of practice had gone to waste. One day later, Li Jiu's aura rose again. Although he had no expression, he had a sense of power, like a demon-suppressing Vajra, who could deter evil spirits without doing anything.
"All the iron mothers are here." Bian Qing said.
Li Jiu took a simple check and was very satisfied. These iron mothers weighed about 5,800 kilograms, enough to temper half of his bones into perfect iron bones.
"Can you get more iron mothers? Money is not a problem." Li Jiu said.
Bian Qing shook his head, "It's gone in the government office. If you still want Tiemu, you can visit the Huo family or the Bai family. The wealthy families should have stocks."
"Did you kill Heiling Chasi?"
Li Jiu sat down, picked up the teacup and drank it. He took out a letter from his arms. It was found on Heiling Chasi when he touched the corpse last night.
"Heiling Chasi and I have a big grudge. He colluded with the demons and gave birth to a child, the human rat who attacked you a few days ago. Heiling Chasi detained Tiemu not to discuss the share with me, but to kill me."
The human rat is Heiling Chasi's child?
Bian Qing was shocked and unbelievable. A county town Chasi, a Chasi in charge of hundreds of constables, actually had a demon child!
He took the letter, opened it and read it once. Some of the fog in his heart dissipated, and the question that puzzled him had an answer.
Before, he couldn't understand why Heiling Chasi would protect the Fubo Gang and ignore the people of Qinghe County.
After reading the letter, he knew the truth.
The letter was written by the deputy leader of the Fubo Gang to Heiling Chasi.
The general meaning was to ask Heiling Chasi to turn a blind eye to the demon attack and not make a big deal out of it. Afterwards, the Fubo Gang would use the summoning flute to control the human rat so that it could not disobey Heiling Chasi's words.
Apparently Heiling Chasi agreed and forcibly suppressed the demon attack on Chunhuayuan.
"No wonder the human rat chose to run away immediately after hearing the four words of Heiling Chasi that day. I thought it was afraid of Chasi's strength, but it turned out that it was afraid that Heiling Chasi would catch it back." Bian Qing smiled bitterly.
"Why are you smiling bitterly? Heiling Chasi is dead, and the position is vacant. If you work hard, you may be promoted. You should smile." Li Jiu said lightly.
Bian Qing pursed his lips, "When do you think the court can expel all the demons?"
He was laughing at himself and this shitty world.
The police officers who maintain peace are colluding with demons. How many of the people who disappeared in Xicheng District of Qinghe County were eaten by rats and suppressed by the police officers?
When he thought of the missing children in the families of the people, he was anxious to find the police officers and waited in hope. As a result, the police officers gave up and did not even investigate. If the people knew the truth, how painful and helpless they would be.
"You will never be expelled, but you can wait."
"Wait for what?"
"Wait until all the demons are killed by me!"
Bian Qing stared at Li Jiu. He saw unparalleled confidence and arrogance in Li Jiu's eyes, without any fear.
This kind of look was the first time he saw it.
After a long time, Bian Qing stood up, pressed the knife, and said in a deep voice: "I look forward to that day."
"Wait a minute, what is the result of the encirclement and suppression of the Fubo Gang?"
"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. The encirclement and suppression plan was very successful. The leader and deputy leader of the Fubo Gang were all killed, and the demons were also wiped out. The demons above the Qi and Blood Realm were killed by the martial arts hall and the martial artists of the family.
There was a small mistake in the middle. The demon that controlled the entire Fubo Gang was not a water monkey, but a phantom insect in the Rongshen Realm, but there was no big problem. The county magistrate was also a strong man in the Rongshen Realm and easily solved the phantom insect."
The phantom worm is a special demon. Its main body does not have much direct combat ability. Its ability is to create illusions and influence people's hearts. Its main body is not big, like a slender worm, which can drill into the body of living beings and control their actions.
The leader of the water monkeys was controlled by the phantom worm. Originally, the water monkey clan did not have the ability to control people's hearts. It was the phantom worm that influenced all the people in the Fubo Gang through its own ability, ordering the warriors to feed the water monkeys with their own blood essence, so that the Fubo Gang mistakenly believed that they had tamed the demons, rather than the demons controlling them.
After the county magistrate and the warriors of the noble families killed the leader of the water monkeys, the head of the Bai family discovered the phantom worm hiding in the body of the leader of the water monkeys. After forcing it out, the county magistrate personally killed it.
Li Jiu was thoughtful. After he killed the demon clam yesterday, the roar he heard was the cry of the leader of the water monkeys before his death?
Bian Qing continued, "I have to say that you are very lucky. The demons and the Fubo Gang have been wiped out, and there will be no more demons attacking the Black Fox Gang at night.
The Fantasy God Worm has influenced the thoughts of many warriors in the Fubo Gang, but it is not a perfect control. They have an obsession in their hearts and want to destroy the Black Fox Gang, so they will bring demons to attack you."
"Is the Fantasy God Worm still alive?" Li Jiu guessed.
"It is unlikely. The only demon in the Fubo Gang stationed in the Fantasy God Worm is in the Rong Shen realm, the leader of the Water Monkey is at the peak of the Inner Strong, the county magistrate, the head of the Bai family, the head of the Huo family, and the owner of the Liuyun Martial Arts Hall are all in the Rong Shen realm. The four Rong Shen realms can't be affected by the Fantasy God Worm at the same time." Bian Qing explained.
