The demon causing trouble is a sixth-level heart-eating demon fox. If this is true, then based on Shen Xiu’s current cultivation strength, there won’t be much problem in solving it.
Returning to the house, Shen Xiu, carrying a long sword on his back and holding a demon-slaying knife, went out, left Shanglin City, and went straight to Shanhua Town, where traces of the heart-eating demon fox appeared in the files.
Shanhua Town is one of the six major towns under the jurisdiction of Shanglin City. There are thirteen scattered villages in it, with a combined population of nearly 100,000, which is quite large.
The town has extensive traffic and is dotted with houses. On both sides of the main street, there are many shops and buildings with blue bricks and red tiles.
The side of the trail is more casual, with mostly thatched houses and low-walled houses.
The last witness was a clerk from a rice shop on this street.
Searched for a while.
Shen Xiu found the rice shop where the incident occurred.
The person who met Shen Xiu was a thin young man wearing a gray shirt and short coat. His face was sallow, his eyes were blurred, and he looked extremely weak.
Who would have known that a person with such a frail body would be the only survivor left after encountering the heart-eating demon fox.
Such an opportunity is extremely mysterious when I hear it.
Based on the description of the young man in gray shirt and short jacket, the city government's police officers concluded that this was not an ordinary human life case, and then recorded and concluded that there was the shadow of this monster behind it.
Knowing that they could not handle these cases, the police Yamen decisively handed the case to the Xuanjian Division.
When Shen Xiu arrived to inquire about the traces of the demon fox.
This thin young man in a gray shirt and short jacket appeared quite uneasy. It was obvious that the situation that day had cast a considerable shadow on his fragile mind.
Hearing that Shen Xiu was here to get rid of the demon, out of fear of the demon fox, the young man in gray shirt still explained the situation of that day word for word.
This heart-eating fox monster has been sitting in this town for many days, causing people nearby to panic and want to get rid of this guy soon.
Otherwise, if this continues, I don’t know how many more people will die.
Shen Xiu had a conversation with the young man in gray shirt, answering each question in his words. He probably understood the causes and consequences, and even added some details that were not recorded in the file.
According to what the thin young man in gray shirt said, the day of May is the evening garrison on the 11th.
He extinguished the candles in the house, and before preparing to rest and go to bed, he planned to go to the toilet behind the yard to disperse the debris and put out water.
Not long after I squatted down, I heard a crisp knock on the door outside the toilet.
God's pity can be seen.
When I was squatting in the pit in the middle of the night, there was such a strange knock on the door, and whoever heard it felt unclean.
At that time, the young man in gray shirt immediately felt his anus tighten, and a chill rushed up to his tailbone, and he dared to open the door.
However, the knocking on the door continued, lingering like a deadly ghost.
In the end, the knocking on the door stopped, but a woman's beautiful voice came out. The voice was so soft that it made people feel numb all over just listening to it.
She even called him affectionately, "Mother, sir, would you like some tea?"
Damn it!
I was squatting in the toilet and you asked me if I wanted tea!
What kind of tea are you drinking!
What’s more, he doesn’t even have a wife, so where did he get a wife from?
This lady sounds like she was played by some ghost.
However, there was no response from him for a long time, and then the woman moved the wooden board, seemingly preparing to open the door herself.
How could he remain calm at this time? The hairs on his legs stood up when he thought of the news he had heard about the demons making trouble.
He immediately rushed over and held the door tightly.
"How dare I open the door at this time? That thing doesn't sound like a normal thing. The corpse of Mr. Wang with such a big hole in his chest from the private school next door is still lying there with his bones still cold!"
Recalling what happened that night, the thin young man in gray shirt trembled slightly as he spoke, appearing to be very frightened.
"Then how did you escape this disaster in the end?" Shen Xiu crossed his arms and pinched his chin, looking quite curious.
According to the cruel methods of the heart-eating demon fox, this young man in gray shirt should not be able to escape.
However, at this moment, I am staying here peacefully, but I am mentally and spiritually frightened.
"Escape... I didn't run away, but the female ghost still broke in. I saw that the female ghost was so beautiful, and I thought that she would definitely not be contaminated by these filthy things, so I jumped into the pit..." p>
The air suddenly became a little quiet.
"You said you jumped into the latrine?"
Chen Xiu's eyes were also slightly startled, he did not expect such a method.
"Yes... I still dived in." The young man in gray shirt nodded with a bitter look on his face.
Shen Xiu raised his narrow eyebrows and quietly took a few steps back, moving further away from the young man in gray shirt.
At the same time, I deeply admire what this thin young man has done.
This guy is a ruthless person!
Too cruel!
The pit has been so decisive.
It's very Lu Bu's demeanor in this world.
This thin young man can save his life in the hands of the cruel heart-eating demon fox, so he has some abilities.
In the remaining time, I communicated with this young man in gray gauze for a while, just asking about some details.
Every human life comes and goes without a trace, and the time it takes place in this world is also very short. The specific traces of this heart-eating demon fox cannot be known.
However, through those files and the details described by the thin man, Shen Xiu made a summary and roughly understood some of the characteristics of this heart-eating demon fox, such as that he might like to transform into a woman in a red dress.
For example, this heart-eating demon fox may have some facial control.
Because the people who had their hearts ripped out and the frail rice shop guy in front of them all still looked handsome.
There is also a somewhat special quirk: a blooming peach blossom will be placed in front of the door of the person whose heart is loved.
Features like this, etc.
After learning this, Shen Xiu found an inn to stay in Shanhua Town.
At this moment, there is no trace of the heart-eating demon fox, so he just waits like this.
It's just that this time is shorter than he imagined.
"Brother! Big brother! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
One day at noon, Shen Xiu was eating lunch in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.
After not seeing any trace of the demon fox for several days, he was still thinking about getting a demon hunting plate from the Demon Suppression Department on the black market to look for traces of the heart-eating demon fox, when he heard a sad howl of ghosts and wolves coming from outside the restaurant.< /p>
Although the person's voice is behind, it follows immediately.
A disheveled but somewhat handsome young man stumbled outside and ran into the inn, hurriedly crying to someone at the dining table.
His face was frightened and his appearance was haggard.
And what he was holding tightly in his hand was clearly a peach blossom in bud.
