"The Work Manual of the Demon Control Department" says that appetite is greed, and if it is indulged, it can easily attract evil spirits and lure monsters into the house.

Appetite is the most primitive and basic human desire. Once indulged, it can easily lead to evil spirits and attract monsters.

In fact, all human emotions and desires are like this. If you indulge too much, you will be targeted by monsters.

Those monsters that roam the human world feed on human desires and emotions.

Being greedy for beauty will attract monsters like fox and charm.

If you are obsessed with wealth, monsters like the Wealth Rat will follow your desires and come to your door.

…

Once you mess with a monster, it usually doesn't end well.

Shopkeeper Wang was gluttonous and gluttonous, eating both meat and vegetables, raw and cooked food, just to fill the emptiness in his belly, and he gradually lost weight.

Such an abnormality must have attracted evil spirits.

"It's not good." Zhou Dao frowned, stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth, and took a big bite.

Don't tell me, it smells really good.

"..."

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang curled his lips and continued: "I have searched all the good doctors in the town, but they can't figure out the reason. I have taken a lot of medicine, but nothing works."

"I advise you to go to the Monster Control Department to file a case." Zhou Dao reminded.

The doctor has no control over this kind of thing.

"Brother Dao, I'll tell you the truth, it's already been filed." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang lowered his voice and came closer, for fear that others would hear.

After all, he opened the door to do business. If others knew that there was an evil spirit in their house, the bun shop would not be opened.

"What did the Yuyao Department say?" Zhou Dao picked up another bun and asked while eating it.

"Didn't something happen in the town two days ago? They sent people to come and check it out. They left a talisman of water and hold it down for now. After these two days, the demon-slaying guards will come to the door." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang didn't hide anything.

.

Zhou Dao is a frequent customer of Baozi Shop.

Secondly, he is working in the Demon Control Department, so there is no need to hide it.

"That's good." Zhou Dao nodded.

The talisman in the Demon Control Division is the [Evil-Suppressing Talisman], a genuine one-star talisman. A master of the Fifth Transformation of the Realm of Refining will use his blood to dissolve it. Mixed with dew, one talisman can be made into approximately twelve pieces of talisman.

This kind of talisman water can remove evil spirits from the body and can also provide immunity to weak monsters to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is very popular, and Mr. Yuan's black market workshop also sells similar talisman water.

However, talisman water like this is extremely expensive, costing ten taels of silver per serving.

This is pure violence. The cost of a [Evil-Suppressing Talisman] is only fifteen taels of silver. If it is made into talisman water and sold separately, it can sell for one hundred and twenty taels.

You know, Zhou Dao's monthly salary is only two taels of silver.

"Shopkeeper Wang's family is still rich." Zhou Dao muttered to himself.

I have to say that Lao Wang’s family’s craftsmanship should make them rich.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Dao stood up, dropped twenty coins and left.

For him, this is just a small incident and has little to do with him. Since it has been filed with the Monster Control Department, someone will handle it.

The theme of Zhou Dao's life is to stay quietly in the Monster Control Division, waiting for the monster-killing guards to bring monsters to him, sacrifice them to the ancestor, and practice to become stronger.

In Ping'an Town, Wang Xiaoyi is the one person who can really distract him. After all, this is his best friend, and he often helps him.

Mr. Yuan is one of them. This is the second source of monsters he sacrificed to his ancestor. If he trades more, he will naturally have good friendships.

Another one is Uncle Qin, the concierge. Zhou Dao liked to read in his book club when he was very young, and it was Uncle Qin who watched him grow up.

Other than that, other people's affairs really have little to do with him.

…

The seven days passed quickly.

The Demon Control Department has a new look, and the lobby has been renovated and doubled in size from before.

Even the Lianyao Room has been renovated and looks much brighter and more spacious.

Zhoudao's demon sealing tools are all equipped with the latest models.

"Damn it, the craniotomy knife is actually made from hundreds of steel. It's a master craftsmanship. Did Si Li make a fortune?" Wang Xiaoyi threw the obsolete tool aside and played with his new favorite, unable to put it down.

"Wang Duwei is old and mature. He must have falsely reported this loss. He killed the superiors severely and loosened the finances of the department." Zhao Guangming guessed.

Wang Hongbo is the oldest person in the Demon Control Department. Whenever there are opportunities such as casualty pensions, renovations within the department, or the addition of equipment, it is a time to increase the revenue of the department.

In terms of financial management, he is a good hand, much stronger than his cultivation.

Even if Pingjiang City sends a commissioner to the accounts prepared by Wang Duwei, if you point them out to him, he won't be able to find anything wrong with them.

"Brother Dao, I heard that something happened to the bun shop you frequent." Wang Xiaoyi came over and said suddenly.

Zhou Dao glanced at him: "You know all this?"

Wang Xiaoyi's family is rich, and he usually hangs out in teahouses and restaurants, and is very good at going to such street food shops.

"I saw the Demon Slayer Guards on duty early in the morning, just to go to their house." Wang Xiaoyi became interested: "I heard that shopkeeper Wang doesn't look like a human being anymore, he looks like a hungry ghost. Even his own son's fingers were scratched.

He bit it off alive and swallowed it alive."

"What?" Zhou Dao raised his eyebrows.

This is indeed too abnormal, and it is 100% caused by an evil spirit.

"Now Shopkeeper Wang has been locked up with a big iron chain by his family. Brother Dao, what kind of monster is so powerful?" Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.

When it comes to identifying monsters, Zhou Dao is superior to him in both experience and knowledge.

You know, during the year-end assessment, Zhou Dao always got perfect scores in the knowledge quiz of the "Monster Control Division Work Manual".

"There are such monsters." Zhou Dao thought for a while and said.

"The Work Manual of the Demon Control Division" records that in ancient times, in times of war and famine, it was common for people to have enough to eat and to exchange children for food.

In order to escape famine, some people left their hometowns and tried to find a way out, but ended up starving to death in the mountain roads.

The bodies of these starved people were exposed in the wilderness. Over time, only a pile of bones remained.

When the white bones are nourished by the mountains and receive Yin Qi, they will give birth to a monster called [Hungry Pouch].

This monster looks like a mushroom and is as white as bone.

If someone picks it back by mistake and takes it as food, his appetite will be greatly increased and he will eat endlessly. The more he eats, the hungrier he becomes and the more he eats, the thinner he becomes.

In the end, such people will either be starved to death or starved to death.

In ancient times, in order to maintain their figure, many wealthy ladies bought "Hungry Bags" from Taoist priests, boiled them into water, mixed them with talisman ashes and drank them to make their bodies slim and cut off their appetite.

However, the use of this kind of thing is extremely risky, and there have been many tragedies. By this dynasty, it has long been expressly prohibited.

Moreover, today's world is a prosperous dynasty, and almost no one will starve to death, so naturally there are no such monsters.

Shopkeeper Wang's condition was very much like he had accidentally eaten the [Hungry Pouch].

"Brother Dao, do you think something will happen to Shopkeeper Wang?" Wang Xiaoyi asked.

Zhou Dao shook his head. Shopkeeper Wang had already taken the talisman water to suppress the evil spirits in his body. Now that the demon-slaying guards have gone, there shouldn't be any serious problems.

This kind of little monster is basically easy to catch.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhou Dao said firmly.

Dong dong dong...

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

Zhao Guangming rushed in from outside.

"Something happened. Shopkeeper Wang from the bun shop next door...is dead!!!"

After the words fell, Wang Xiaoyi turned his head suddenly and looked at Zhou Dao's mouth in horror.
