At this moment, Qin Tian Prison, on the Star Observation Tower.
An old man cried with joy.
"white night!"
"Sure enough, everything is as Master expected!"
This person is none other than Situ Risheng, the current supervisor of the Qintian Prison.
And just now, a demon star, as big as a bucket and as bright as the sun, was rising into the sky, illuminating all things and giving them spirituality.
For a time, Yanjing, inside and outside the city, was filled with evil spirit.
——Thump thump thump!
Immediately, the other members of the Qintian Prison also boarded the Star Observation Tower.
"Master!"
"Lord Jianzheng!"
Everyone looked serious, but also had some uncontrollable excitement.
Because everything that happened tonight was predicted a hundred years ago.
There will be no monsters in Daxia for a hundred years!
But a hundred years from now, evil spirits will breed.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Qin Tian Jian was just a group of weak clerks who spent all day observing the celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars. They were of no importance.
But in fact, they all shoulder a heavy mission - to eliminate demons for Daxia!
In fact, there are already signs of the recent mummy case.
Therefore, under circumstances that were puzzling to outsiders, the Qintian Prison actually had to cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to jointly investigate the case.
The previous generation of Qin Tian Prison's supervisor accurately predicted that there would be a demonic attack in Great Xia a hundred years later.
By then, the Demon Suppression Department has long been abandoned, and the members of the Qintian Prison will have to step forward and shoulder this heavy mission.
In the past, the members and disciples of Qin Tian Jian all dismissed this prophecy.
They even sneered at the demon-slaying techniques they practiced on a daily basis.
Because there is no monster to kill, everything you practice is just talk on paper.
At one time, even the Supervisor Situ Risheng himself, after decades of hard work, wavered many times and doubted everything.
They think that everything they hold on to will be in vain in the end, just like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror.
but!
Tonight - the white night is coming!
The sun rises between master and disciple, and I burst into tears. This day has finally come.
Even the other members of Qin Tian Jian were excited and eager to try.
"Heaven has sent a great responsibility to this people!"
Situ Risheng said excitedly: "I have been waiting for this day for my whole life!"
"Master, you are indeed a god! Things that will happen a hundred years from now have been predicted! I admire you! I am also deeply ashamed..."
The rest of the people also echoed, admiring and feeling ashamed at the same time.
Then, Situ Risheng took the lead in changing into a white robe.
The rest of the people also put on the demon-subduing uniforms that they thought they would never be able to put on.
The atmosphere at the scene changed instantly.
Everyone seemed to be perfectly integrated into the vision of the white night, appearing and disappearing.
Situ Risheng stood on the stargazing platform and raised his arms and shouted: "We will protect Daxia tonight!"
"All members of Qintian Prison listen to the order - let us have a good hunt tonight!"
Finished speaking.
Situ Risheng rose from the Star Observation Tower, jumped down, and disappeared into the white night.
The other members also followed suit, jumped in the air, and followed closely.
…
at the same time.
Outside the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Yin Hongzhuang, the adjutant of the Yanjing Guards, witnessed Jin Xuyi being taken away by the guards patrolling the city.
Yin Hongzhuang wanted to stop the person, but was stopped by Jin Xuyi's eyes.
She understood the other party's intention, which was to prevent her from being exposed, to continue here, waiting for opportunities, and to thoroughly investigate the case.
And at this moment, an incredible scene occurred.
The sky——is actually bright!!?
Yin Hongzhuang was so shocked that she even thought she was dazzled?
How can it be dawn in the middle of the night!?
But after repeatedly confirming the time, Yin Hongzhuang had no choice but to believe the abnormal and strange scene in front of her.
At the same time, there was also an undercurrent surging in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
It seemed as if there was an uneasy force that was about to explode.
--boom!
Before Yin Hongzhuang could react, the door to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was suddenly opened.
A large group of horrifying creatures, both human and non-human, rushed out from inside and rushed in the same direction.
Yin Hongzhuang was hiding in the dark. After witnessing all this with her own eyes, she quickly covered her mouth, not daring to breathe for fear of alarming these monsters.
After a moment, the entire Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was silent and empty!?
Without any time to think, Yin Hongzhuang rushed in immediately.
I found that everything inside was in a mess, as if it had been looted by bandits.
Not to mention a single figure, even the flowers and plants in the backyard, as well as precious trees and rockeries, have all disappeared, and the gardens and green spaces have become ruins.
"This...what exactly is going on!?"
Wandering in the empty Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Yin Hongzhuang still could not recover from the shock just now and could not understand what had happened.
"Am I dreaming? What is going on tonight...?"
While walking, Yin Hongzhuang suddenly heard the intermittent voices not far away!?
Yin Hongzhuang was shocked again.
I thought this empty house was haunted.
Then, Yin Hongzhuang followed the voice and walked over.
Finally, outside an abandoned well in the backyard that was suppressed by huge rocks, I heard a cry for help.
Someone is down there!?
Yin Hongzhuang pushed the boulder hard, but it didn't move at all.
"There is a seal above..." The people in the well seemed to sense someone, so they reminded them, "You have to break the seal..."
Yin Hongzhuang took a closer look and saw that there were indeed strange lines painted on the boulder buried at the mouth of the well.
Although I can't understand what it is, there is a vague force attached to it.
So, Yin Hongzhuang drew her sword again and chopped it off one after another, completely destroying the lines.
Then he kicked out and easily kicked the boulder away.
"Quickly-save me..."
The man in the well cried out weakly for help.
"Who are you!?" Yin Hongzhuang asked cautiously.
"Sigh... You might not believe it if you can't tell me... I..." The man sighed heavily and said miserably, "I am the Imperial Master! I was harmed by a demon and trapped in this dry well.
It’s been several years since I’ve seen the light of day!”
