Su Xing followed the feminine young man out of the venue, heading in the completely opposite direction to his inn.
As we walked, the number of pedestrians on the street suddenly became sparse. From around the corner, the people in the city gradually disappeared.
After walking like this for a while, Su Xing suddenly saw the young man stopping in front of an attic and turning his head to stare at him.
"This is it, let's go in." The young man said with a smile.
"What is this place?"
Su Xing looked at the two large characters engraved on the attic door plaque: Flying Fox.
"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you, it's just not convenient to talk here."
After the young man finished speaking, he opened the wooden door and walked in without giving Su Xing time to answer.
"Squeak."
The wooden door opened, and an old smell floated out from the door. It smelled as if no one had set foot here for a long time.
Su Xing did not walk in in a hurry, but first looked inside and saw that the young man walked to a corner in the darkness with only a faint light and lit a few candles.
The darkness in the room was immediately dispelled by the warm firelight. There was only a simple long table, two wooden chairs and a candlestick in the room. Apart from that, there was nothing else and it was very empty.
After Su Xing made sure that the other party had not set any ambush in the house, he walked in cautiously.
"Close the door."
The young man sat on the chair beside the long table and said to Su Xing.
After closing the door, Su Xing also walked to the table and sat down. He crossed his hands on the table and stared at the other person solemnly.
Under such close observation, the feminine aura of the young man became clearer and clearer in Su Xing's field of vision.
The feminine young man at the other end of the long table also looked at Su Xing with a smile and said nothing.
The two of them seemed to have some small thoughts in mind, and they remained silent in a tacit agreement, and did not speak for a long time.
On the candlestick, a weak flame flickered and made a hissing sound.
"You win, so I'll answer your question."
"Who are you?" Su Xing's starry eyes sparkled under the candlelight.
"who I am?"
The feminine young man smiled when he heard this question, reached out and took out a silver token from his arms, and pushed it from the table to Su Xing's face.
Su Xing looked down and saw a large word "forest" engraved on the silver token. Sen was surrounded by twelve animal patterns of different shapes, including the common cow.
Sheep, chickens, and less common animals such as lions, tigers, and foxes.
"What's this?"
While asking the question, Su Xing already had a guess in his mind.
This is the territory of the Omori Dynasty, and the token carried by this young man has the word forest engraved on it. This is obviously not a coincidence, nor is it an accident.
The young man's next words confirmed Su Xing's suspicion: "I am a member of the Detective Department of the Omori Dynasty. My name is Wen Zixian."
"Dynasty Detective Department...Wen Zixian?"
The words of the young man named Wen Zixian caused a stir in Su Xing's heart. He really did not expect that the person who suddenly came to his door was actually a member of the Dynasty Detective Department.
But wasn't the Detective Department established to track down the members of the Demon Cult within the dynasty? Why were you looking for him?
"Detective Department? I have nothing to do with this department. Why did Mr. Wen come to see me?" Su Xing asked calmly, pretending to be calm.
"Of course you have nothing to do with us. If we hadn't happened to know that Mo Yin was in the Phantom Beast Forest, we wouldn't have discovered you."
"Are you following Mo Yin?" Su Xing's pupils shrank and he asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't this why our Detective Department was established? To track down the devils in the world and protect the well-being of the people. Before discovering Mo Yin, we had already found eight disciples of Xuan Yu Tower in Qingzhou, but Mo Yin was captured by you
Killed him first.
The devils deserve death, but we also need to leave some people alive to open their mouths and find out the whereabouts of the Xuan Prison Tower. The eight people before them all committed suicide after being caught, and we finally found Mo Yin.
position, but you didn’t even give us a chance to ask him a word.”
"Then Mo Yin wanted to kill Zhu Miao and Miss Li. If I hadn't killed him, the three of us would have died."
Su Xing heard the dissatisfaction in Wen Zixian's tone, so he responded coldly.
"I know, of course I know. Don't be angry," Wen Zhiyu raised her lips, "But if my superiors saw me returning empty-handed, they would definitely punish me, so I found you."
"What's the meaning?"
"We secretly observed your battle with Mo Yin. Everyone thinks you have great potential. If you can join the Detective Department, you will add a lot of strength to us."
"Wait a minute, you just said that you secretly watched the battle between me and Mo Yin? In that case, why didn't you take down Mo Yin before I did? This way you can still leave one alive."
"Haha, what you said makes sense, but compared to leaving a demon disciple who has a high probability of not being able to ask anything, it is obviously more worthwhile to find a good seedling.
What do you think, do you want to join the Detective Department and follow me to Tongzhou to investigate the traces of the Xuan Prison Tower?"
"Does your detective department recruit members so randomly? Aren't you afraid that I have another identity?" Su Xing asked with a sneer.
"What other identity can you have? Are you the second young master of the Su family in Kaiyan City, or a disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect's Tianzhen Peak?"
"What?"
Su Xing's expression changed. He didn't expect that the other party had discovered his background to such an extent.
"The Detective Department is a department that serves the Omori Dynasty, and you are a subject of the Omori Dynasty. It is too easy for us to investigate your background."
Wen Zixian lightly snapped his fingers, and the silver token in front of Su Xing flew back into his hand.
He played with the token in his hand and said slowly: "Joining the Detective Department does not conflict with your current status. Although we were established by the royal family, we are more free and independent than other departments.
Joining the Detective Department does not mean that you are bound by rules. On the contrary, you can still live your original unrestrained life. You only need to share information with the department every few months."
"I heard from your words that the Detective Department does not seem to be an important department to the dynasty."
"Haha," Wen Zixian shook his head and smiled, "That's right. After all, the alien demon clan is the real enemy of our dynasty. It is difficult for insects like the Demon Cult to hide underground for hundreds of years to attract the attention of the royal family."
After such a period of conversation, Su Xing also carefully weighed the pros and cons of joining the Detective Department in his mind.
The Detective Department is a department established by the Omori Dynasty specifically to kill demons. It has been established for more than a thousand years since the establishment of the dynasty. If you can join such a department, you will definitely have a deeper understanding of the demon religion.
But on the other hand, once he joins such an agency that belongs to a dynasty, his future life will probably be subject to a certain degree of surveillance, which will restrict his personal freedom to a certain extent.
At the cost of possibly being monitored by others, and thus obtaining relevant information about the Demonic Cult, it seems a little uneconomical.
After all, what Su Xing really needs is not the whereabouts of the Xuan Yu Tower, but the information about the disciples of the current demon lord of the Xuan Yu Tower.
Wen Zixian sat opposite Su Xing, squinting his eyes at the gloomy and unchanging expression on Su Xing's face, and seemed to guess Su Xing's concerns.
"Don't you want to know the information and whereabouts of the younger generation of disciples in Xuan Yu Tower? Join the Detective Department and I will tell you."
"What? Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with Brother Zhu?"
Su Xing was shocked. He had only decided to discuss the matter with Zhu Miao after ensuring the safety of the environment. Unexpectedly, he was still listened to.
"Zhu Miao's father is a former member of the Detective Department, and we all know that he is a person who cannot keep secrets, so naturally he sent some people to follow his relatives."
"Again, if you want to know information about the younger generation of disciples in Xuan Yu Tower, I can tell you far more than that old man knows. Just think about it carefully."
