Xu Luo let the green ox cart run slowly towards the Exorcism Department.
Looking at the grief-stricken faces of the ordinary people who had lost their loved ones, crying and wailing, he felt as if someone was slapping him hard on the face one after another.
Even though he knew that he had tried his best, many colleagues in the Exorcism Department had also tried their best, even if these people were strangers to him and had never even heard their names.
But he still felt heavy in his heart, as if he was being pressed hard by something.
There has never been a moment like this when Xu Luo had such a profound understanding of the strange, cruel and bloody nature.
Only then did he realize that those case files he had seen before in the library, just a few sentences and cold numbers, what did they mean?
Taking a closer look, the number of strange things he encountered was actually quite large.
But due to a strange combination of circumstances, most of those monsters have their own grievances and obsessions, and have enough reasons to kill and take revenge. In addition, he does not have a strong sense of belonging to this world.
Even he himself didn't notice that his position towards weirdness seemed to be slightly deflected in his heart, but after this incident, he completely understood.
Who can guarantee that Weigui will remain true to his original obsession, will not lose his mind, and will not implicate innocent people?
Compared to most ordinary people, the power possessed by monsters is almost invincible.
It doesn’t need to be more, as long as one percent of the weirdness is out of control, it means the loss of countless lives. What did these people do wrong?
Do you deserve to die if you are weak?
Xu Luo's expression remained stern and silent, and Gu Xixi seemed to be able to understand his mood.
Or maybe, one day a long time ago, a certain innocent little girl asked herself the same question, and that’s how Gu Xixi, who kills when she sees something strange today, came to be!
Gu Xixi, who had been silent until she returned to Captain Xuan Yi's station, suddenly smiled.
"Stop thinking nonsense. Instead of thinking about what is there and what is not, why don't you hide and tuck me like before when you patrol tonight, and be more ruthless!"
Xu Luo was slightly shocked, and glanced at her, his head lowered and then raised sharply, with a calm smile on his face.
"Don't worry! Even if I can't figure it out, it doesn't stop me from beating those bastards to death."
"That's enough! The Yang Qi is strong during the day, and those low-level monsters usually won't show up. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. I'm afraid I'll still be busy tonight."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Xixi's figure had disappeared.
Xu Luo stared at the direction she was leaving and was stunned for a moment. He suddenly shook his head and laughed, then walked towards his house.
Playing with the E-character lantern in his hand, Xu Luo carefully observed the changes.
After absorbing those two lanterns, the appearance of the "E" lantern has not changed much. The most noticeable change is that there are a few more faint strokes next to the "E" character, but the ink marks are very shallow and cannot be seen clearly.
The length of the red candle inside increased to the length of a finger. Xu Luo touched it with his spiritual sense and understood the current ability of the E-shaped lamp.
One is the enhanced perception that was already there. The candle flame can illuminate a range of about ten feet. Within this range, any disturbance will be sensed by the lantern.
The additional magical power is to reduce the scope of the candle flame, but at this time it can confuse the minds of living beings, just like the chaotic halo in the game he played in his previous life.
It's just that if you put this ability in the current world where you can't load files and restart, it would be a bit scary.
In daily battles and killings, a single wrong move could lead to life and death, not to mention having your mind taken away from you?
Even if it only lasts for one breath, it is quite fatal.
Xu Luo thought casually and came up with several ways to kill his opponent. He nodded with satisfaction, not having to fight to the death in vain.
He slept until sunset. After waking up, Xu Luo ate some food in the dining hall and was called by Jinsha to gather in the square.
The wide square was filled with dense crowds of people.
In Xu Luo's memory, this should be the time when the Exorcist Department had the most people present. Thanks to Captain Xuan Yi, Xu Luo and the others were still close to the front steps.
Sizheng Gu Siyan was standing on the stage with a serious face, and there were several big guys with different appearances standing behind him.
Xu Luo could only recognize the master of his Liangyi Hall, and the master of the Sancai Hall next to him, Li Siyan. Although he had never seen it, he could guess it, while the others were just confused.
In particular, one of them was an old man who was covered in dirt and seemed to be drunk and hazy at all times. The intimidation he brought to Xu Luo was second only to Gu Siyan.
Jinsha saw him looking up from time to time with a puzzled face, opening and closing his lips silently, and spit out two words at him.
"One yuan!"
Xu Luo suddenly nodded. This was really no wonder for him. It was true that Yi Yuantang's presence in the Exorcism Department was too low.
If it weren't for the benefits, these people would run faster than anyone else, and Xu Luo almost forgot that there was such a hall in the department.
"Be quiet!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gu Siyan coughed a few times.
"The weird chaos last night was not a single incident.
The county government station in the county also sent back news that strange things were causing trouble in various places. Fortunately, thanks to the joint efforts of colleagues in the Exorcism Department, a huge disaster was averted.
But even so, our Moshui County has really suffered heavy losses this time. So far, hundreds of people have been found dead and injured.
This kind of disaster has never happened to me in Moshui County for hundreds of years!
The Mind Mirror has not been stable since late at night, and there must be some fish that have slipped through the net, hiding in the county and waiting for opportunities. Therefore, the Secretary decided that until the vision of the Mind Mirror is completely stabilized, all my colleagues in the Exorcism Department are not allowed to have it.
Any slack.”
Having said this, he paused and looked down. Seeing that the crowd was still silent, he continued with satisfaction.
"Of course, Si Li will never treat you badly!
During this period, on the treasurer's side, the merits exchanged for treasures and spiritual materials such as elixirs, talismans, and exercises will be reduced by half until this wave of strange things subsides."
At this moment, many exorcists below were all smiling and talking incessantly.
Even second-generation people like Jin Sha and Zhao Shuangzhi looked happy. Xu Luo agreed a few times on his face, but there was a murmur in his heart.
With a life-loving person like him, he always likes to think of the worst in things.
Could this wave of monsters be just the beginning?
He was thinking about things in his mind and didn't listen carefully to what the next few hall masters said.
On the contrary, the seemingly cynical old alcoholic Hall Master gave the exorcist below, who was obviously in low spirits, a big surprise.
The spiritual wine poured down like raindrops all over the sky, and Xu Luo felt a gentle warmth slowly seeping from his skin into his body, silently warming his tired mind.
This time, he raised the threat level of the old drunkard a few points again.
This is too appalling. Although not all the exorcists were present in the square, there were at least hundreds of them, and all of them were just sucked?
