I had a very harmonious conversation with these exorcists. They were also forcibly captured by Dusk to stand up for me, so they were extra polite to me.
As long as it doesn't involve valuable information, he will basically tell me whatever I ask.
Seeing that the time was approaching, I said goodbye to them politely and walked quickly back to the place agreed upon by Zhang Sanfen and I.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanfen did not come.
This made me a little panicked, because the boss is a very reliable and punctual person.
If we agree to meet here in ten minutes, it will never be timed out.
He definitely encountered irresistible factors that prevented him from getting back in time.
While I was thinking about that, suddenly there was a commotion in front of me.
Someone shouted: "The Headless Ghost King and the Bone-Broken Ghost King are here!"
After hearing this, the whole street suddenly buzzed, and many exorcists and wanted criminals quickly looked out of the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of the two ghost kings.
Seeing the crowds surging, I jumped over and grabbed the roof of the building. With a little force on my waist, I jumped to the roof.
The roof is made of stone. Although there is no reinforced concrete, it is solid and heavy.
I stepped on the roof and walked forward quickly, and soon I saw the flickering ghost fire in front of me, and the green light reflected two groups of looming ghost soldiers.
I took out the telescope and looked carefully, and my heart skipped a beat.
One of the ghost soldiers has no head and only two shoulders.
There were probably more than fifty of them, and their bodies were looming under the illumination of will-o'-the-wisps.
The few headless ghosts in the middle were also carrying a sedan, which looked like it was made of paper. There were also headless ghosts holding scimitars guarding the side.
The entire team was silent, but extremely fast.
The center of the other team is also a sedan.
But the ghost soldiers carrying the sedan looked much more normal, at least they were all in human form.
It's just that these ghost soldiers have pale faces and flashing green eyes. From a distance, they look like countless green spots.
The most striking thing is that the weapons in their hands are bone-breaking hammers.
This also made me understand the origin of the name Broken Bone Ghost King.
The Bone-breaking Ghost King and the Headless Ghost King are both mediators to mediate the conflicts between Dusk and the Corpse Demon.
Strictly speaking, they are all allies of the Ghost King, and can be considered as supporting Dusk.
There was no sound at all when the two teams walked, only the yin energy filled the air, causing green will-o'-the-wisps to loom.
They did not take this street, but went around in a circle and walked directly through another street of Styx Black Shop, and then gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Someone sighed: "The seven ghost kings and the two corpse kings in the Land of the Dead. They usually have their own bases, and it is rare for exorcists to see them."
"I didn't expect that I would be able to see the two ghost kings with my own eyes this time. If I can get out alive this time, I can also brag about it with my colleagues."
Someone sarcastically said: "When you see a sedan chair with two nails, does it mean you have seen the king of ghosts?"
"Your bragging is a bit outrageous!"
The first person said angrily: "I'm happy with it! Can you take care of it?"
The man sneered: "I just can't stand your bragging! What's the matter? If you're not convinced, come and hit me!"
The two sides became more and more tense as they talked, and they were about to take action.
But I heard someone in front of me say quickly: "Mr. Black Butcher is here!"
The two people who were still at war with each other immediately became quiet.
The Black Butcher walked quickly, and the exorcists and wanted criminals around him took the initiative to make way for him.
He glanced around coldly and said, "Get ready."
"The two ghost kings have arrived, and negotiations will begin immediately!"
"This negotiation is very important to us, and it is also very important to you! Whether the living people can get their own fair status in the Styx Black Shop depends on Lord Dusk!"
"I'll say the ugly things first. If anyone screws up Master Dusk's negotiation, I will tear him alive!"
The exorcists around him said in a deep voice: "Don't worry! Master Dusk is working for us, and it's natural for us to stand behind him!"
"If something really happens, we don't need you to take action, we will kill him first!"
The Black Butcher snorted and said, "It would be best if you can figure it out!"
"Listen to my instructions later! Just do your work, no one will talk nonsense!"
I frowned, the negotiation was about to begin.
And the boss is still nowhere to be found.
Don't let anything really happen.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly turned around and pulled out the Demon-Slaying Thorn in his hand.
But Zhang Sanfen's solemn voice came from behind: "It's me!"
I said in surprise: "Boss!"
Zhang Sanfen interrupted me and said: "Stop talking and come with me!"
He turned over and jumped off the building, twisting and turning along the street until he finally stopped in a place with few people.
I said quickly: "Boss, the negotiation time is midnight."
"The location is in the central square of Styx Black Store."
"In addition to Dusk and the Corpse Demon, there are also the Mahakala Corpse King, the Demonic Ghost King, as well as the Headless Ghost King and the Bone-Breaking Ghost King we just saw, present to participate in the mediation."
"In addition, I suspect that Academician Han has something to do with the Corpse Demon."
"It's even possible that the corpse demon is holding Academician Han hostage!"
Zhang Sanfen nodded, but said nothing.
I was a little anxious and said: "Boss?"
Zhang Sanfen was called out by me, and then he said softly: "Lao He, I met Academician Han's assistant, researcher Shen Congjun."
I was suddenly surprised and happy, and said: "Boss, you can do it!"
"I unexpectedly met Academician Han's assistant in such a short time!"
"Where are the others?"
Zhang Sanfen said nothing, then spread out a glass bottle in his hand.
Inside the glass bottle, a wisp of black gas was billowing up and down.
I took a deep breath and said, "Dead soul?"
Zhang Sanfen said: "To be more precise, it's a remnant soul."
"Shen Congjun is dead. What I found is his remaining soul."
My expression suddenly darkened.
Zhang Sanfen said: "I tried to communicate with my soul. The other party's thinking was very messy, but I was still able to extract effective information."
"If the information I analyzed is correct, this awakened corpse demon was probably created by Academician Han and others."
I was shocked and said: "Artificial corpse demon?"
Zhang Sanfen said: "To be precise, the corpse demon's awakening was just an accident."
Accident, another accident.
The original research on Ruanfenshan was also due to an accident, which caused evil spirits to descend on Ruanfenshan and spread for dozens of kilometers.
For this reason, the poor academician is still engraving the death mantra to atone for his sins.
And a researcher at the time also transformed into a wanted criminal who only knew how to pursue immortality, Bai Curse.
Now it's because of an experimental accident that the corpse demon has awakened.
Not only is Academician Han's whereabouts unknown, but even the two teams that rescued him don't know whether he is alive or dead.
Although I respect this group of scholars who pursue the mysteries of the world, the experiments they conducted seem a bit too dangerous, right?
