The little butcher played the role of the maid perfectly. She handed a cup to Qingyu: "Don't worry, I have checked it several times and it is absolutely clean."
Qingyu nodded, then took off the lid of the cup and took a gentle sip.
A slightly soothing look appeared on her face: "Added sugar?"
"Daddy said that your mental energy is a bit high, and adding some sugar to your tea can make you feel better."
Qingyu couldn't help but have a smile on her face, and she even hummed twice.
The little butcher couldn't help but roll his eyes.
But she didn't say anything, jumped aside and started chewing the flying sword. She was quite satisfied with her current life - the little butcher didn't object to going out to "work", but she was very dissatisfied that her father always wanted to withhold money.
Her "salary". That's why she likes to stay with Qingyu, because Qingyu will not confiscate her "food bag" and will occasionally give her some very good food.
After drinking a cup of tea, Qingyu gently put down the cup.
The little butcher raised his head.
"I can't figure it out." Qingyu's face looked a little better, but her brows showed a more complicated and tangled look, "If Taoist Yunming was implanted with spider eggs from the beginning, then why did he
Will he go on a rampage and kill people? He has already escaped our inspection. As long as he continues to lurk, when he returns to the Kunlun Sect, the Kunlun Sect will inevitably be in chaos, but why would he suddenly be exposed? "
The little butcher lowered his head again and continued to chew on his flying sword.
This is a topic she doesn't understand.
This is the only thing she doesn't like about Qingyu. He always says some incomprehensible things, and sometimes even pulls her into asking to discuss it together.
This is quite a problem for the little butcher.
So at this point, she still prefers to be with her father, because she only needs to rush up and hack the enemy to death, and that's it. She doesn't need to waste her brain thinking about what is and what is not.
Besides, does she have such a thing as a brain?
The door was pushed open again.
Qingyu and the little butcher looked up at the same time.
The person who came in was Su Anran, and his face didn't look good.
"How?" Qingyu asked.
Su Anran shook her head, and then said: "I found five, but they are all dead, and they look more like suicide."
Two days have passed since Taoist Yunming escaped by turning into a parasite.
Two days ago, Su Anran discovered that there was a problem with this station, and after searching for traces of parasites on many materials, he immediately told Qingyu about the matter. After that, Chong Xingzi also came to share the progress:
He found out that although there seemed to be forty-one corpses in Taoist Yunming's courtyard, in fact only thirty-three bodies could be identified. Counting the maid who killed the steward and escaped, then those who escaped from the courtyard were
There are at least seven people.
In two days, Su Anran and Chong Xingzi found five of them, but all of them died.
If there is no family, only one will die.
As for those who had family members, looking at the situation at the scene, it seemed that the other party killed all their family members before committing suicide.
All the clues were disconnected again.
What makes Su Anran and others even more headache is that in the past two days, a large number of residents have tried to escape Yunzhou City every day. Even the city lord has been alarmed by this incident. Because those who want to leave the city are all Yunzhou City.
There are "big shots" with names in Yunzhou City, and these people are naturally well-informed. Even the lord of Yunzhou City cannot use too strong methods to keep these people.
But Su Anran would not tolerate them.
He slaughtered a group of people very neatly, but this method only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, because although there were no more escapees on the surface, in fact these people began to find ways to use some "unclear aspects"
” means trying to get out of the city.
As for why Su Anran knew?
Naturally, it was because he had asked Song Baiye to seal off the entire Yunzhou City. Anyone who wanted to escape the city would actually become Song Baiye's food.
Although Su Anran's approach was a bit crazy, if you look at the results purely, his choice was actually the right one.
Because according to the news from Song Baiye, none of the people trying to escape the city at this moment are innocent. Almost all of them are parasites, or people who are related to the parasite - the so-called relationship.
It is these people who know some of the situation in Yunzhou City, but because of various entangled interests, these people have chosen to turn a blind eye. This is the situation that has led to the near-complete collapse of Yunzhou City.
.
In a certain aspect, Yunzhou City can almost be regarded as the nest of a first-generation parasite.
After listening to Su Anran's report, even Qingyu had to admire the whimsy and boldness of this first-generation parasite - the four first-generation parasites they had encountered so far all chose to build nests underground, and then plundered them through
and invasion to develop the population.
But now the fifth first-generation parasite they encountered was not like this. Instead, it chose to blend into the city to develop its own tribe.
And if Taoist Yunming hadn't suddenly been exposed, they still wouldn't have known that Yunzhou City had become the nest of a certain first-generation parasite.
Chong Xingzi has sent the news back to the Kunlun Sect, but there is no new news yet. Either the Kunlun Sect has not received the news from Chong Xingzi, or the Kunlun Sect has already sent the news to the Northern Tang Dynasty. Now the Northern Tang Dynasty
The dynasty is discussing how to deal with this matter.
Qingyu and Su Anran prefer the latter.
Obviously, the Northern Tang Dynasty was also confused and didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"So there are two more people who are missing?" Qingyu asked.
"Yeah." Su Anran nodded.
"What does Chong Xingzi say?"
"No, he is also very irritable now. Even the exercises he majored in can't calm him down." Su Anran sighed, "People in the entire south of Yunzhou City are trying to escape, and the city lord can't suppress it. Moreover, this
This panic of mass exodus has spread to the north of the city, and now some people in the north of the city are starting to want to flee out of the city... In the past two days, many people have died, but Song Baiye has checked and found that the people in the north of the city are basically clean.
of."
"This is a very smart and cunning opponent." Qingyu groaned in pain.
Yunzhou City is divided into two parts: the south part of the city and the north part of the city based on the central axis.
The south of the city is an area where wealthy businessmen and famous people live. Nearly half of Yunzhou City's guard force is placed here to prevent the nobles from being disturbed by the untouchables in the north of the city. The north of the city is also because most of them are untouchables and low-class people.
People's territory is a mixed bag, and the land price is relatively cheaper. This has led to some black-hearted bad guys who rely on their deep background and strong strength to come here to enclose and buy land, making the lives of residents in the north of the city even more miserable.
.
The residence chosen by the merchants of the Qiyuan family was also in the north of the city. Because the land price was cheap, they were able to buy several acres of land to build their own warehouses and courtyards.
The meaning of sapphire is very clear.
This first-generation parasite specifically targets the wealthy people in the southern area of the city and colludes with them. Its purpose is naturally to control the entire Yunzhou City by secret means.
In fact, the other party did succeed.
There are thousands of businessmen in the south of Yunzhou City, and there are several families that are already large-scale in Yunzhou City, so there are more than 50,000 people living around these people - almost 30,000 people live in the entire south area of the city.
There are many people, and depending on the influence of the other party, there is naturally a lot of radiation in the northern area of the city: these people are mostly guards and servants of married families, or their family members.
So far, nearly a thousand people have tried to escape from the city, and most of them have been confirmed to be infected.
The identities of these people have all been verified. Chong Xingzi has begun to arrest people, while Qingyu has begun to try to prepare a pill that can distinguish between parasites and normal people. This is undoubtedly a very difficult project, but
It's impossible not to do it. After all, the spread of pollution is of no benefit to Su Anran and others.
"So I can't figure it out even more." Qingyu stood up and started walking around the room.
The little butcher rolled her eyes, knowing that Qingyu was going to start talking nonsense again.
"Can't figure out what?"
"Why would such a smart person be suddenly exposed?" Qingyu frowned, "This is unreasonable, isn't it?... Moreover, according to what we have discovered so far, every parasite will have a 'hunting territory'
Yes, they will not invade the territory of other parasites."
"Do you think it's because after Taoist Yunming was infected, it woke up and found that this was not its territory, but the territory of another parasite, so it rebelled?" Su Anran asked tentatively.
Asked, "But it is precisely because of this that another parasite was exposed?"
"If this is the case, then Taoist Yunming should be a second-generation parasite, and the parasite infected by him should be a third-generation parasite. But you and I both know that the third-generation parasite has no intelligence.
It's so rational." Qingyu shook her head, "This statement still cannot be established."
"Not necessarily." As an earthling, Su Anran's biggest characteristic is that he has a big brain and strong divergent thinking. "We all know that Yunzhou City is the territory of another first-generation parasite, and the other party has secretly
He controlled the entire Yunzhou City, and many people in this station were infected, so when Taoist Yunming woke up, he thought he was under siege, so he started killing people."
"Different ant nests, even if they are of the same species, will fight each other when they encounter each other. This is an instinct." Su Anran nodded, "So, do you think it is possible that the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider
The descendants of the descendants have developed two different groups. One group is like the parasites we encountered, only building nests underground and retaining the habits we knew before; while the other group is
They have completed some kind of 'evolution' and know how to hide and disguise their identities better, so although both parties are the descendants of the Soul-Splitting Mountain Spider, they are actually incompatible?"
"But if that's the case, then why didn't the other party kill Taoist Yunming immediately?"
"Perhaps they are afraid of alerting the enemy?" Su Anran thought for a moment, and then said, "Look, Yunzhou City has not been discovered for so long. This is enough to prove that the other party is lurking very deep, so they naturally
I have no intention of killing Taoist Yunming. But Taoist Yunming is infected by the old-school parasite. It doesn’t know this. Suddenly it finds itself surrounded by the new-school parasite, so it will naturally panic and start killing people.”
"New school, old school, what you say is interesting." Qingyu has begun to think about the problem from a different angle, "If this is the case, then it is indeed possible. But in this case, why would the other party fake the body? This...
No! No! You mean, all the people who escaped from the courtyard are dead?"
"Yes." Su Anran nodded, not quite understanding why Qingyu was suddenly so excited.
"Your statement is valid!" Qingyu said excitedly, "They did not commit suicide, but were disguised as suicide in order to cut off our follow-up investigation, because these people were infected by Taoist Yunming, and
They are not infected by the person behind the scenes in Yunzhou City... They are killing each other! We must find Taoist Yunming as soon as possible. The other party will definitely find a way to kill Taoist Yunming. When the time comes, as long as we lie in wait, we will definitely be able to
Discover who is behind Yunzhou City."
Hearing Qingyu's words, Su Anran's face became excited: "I'm going to find Chong Xingzi now. Yunming is his disciple. He must have some way to find Taoist Yunming. In this case, we just have to wait and see.
.”
After saying that, Su Anran turned around and left.
"Why commit suicide instead of murder and silence?" When the little butcher saw that his father had run away, he suddenly said something coldly.
Hearing this, the red color on Qingyu's face due to excitement and excitement gradually faded away.
She glanced at the little butcher, and then said, "Why do you say that?"
"No, that's how I feel." The little butcher shrugged, "It's too troublesome to waste my brain on things. You know I don't really want to waste my brain, but I just thought about it. If I was found to be
If you stare like this, then I will definitely kill everyone, wouldn't it be nice as long as you know that I and everyone who knows me are dead?"
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then sat back on the chair.
When the little butcher saw that Qing Yu was silent again, she shrugged her shoulders, took out the flying sword again and started chewing it.
Qingyu, who had completely calmed down, quickly began to consider the development of the whole matter again.
There were some vague feelings before, but now Qingyu thought from a different angle, and she realized that since Su Anran and Chong Xingzi began to seal the city, there was indeed a hand pushing them forward. And
The method of this black hand pushing them forward is undoubtedly much more mature than the method of exposing the parasite in Yunzhou City due to the small courtyard, because the other party is hidden very deeply, and even Qingyu feels a little troublesome.
.
"The other party is most likely not in the south of the city, but hiding in the north of the city."
Qingyu thought for a while, and then began to boldly make an inference: "The parasite attack that broke out in the courtyard was probably an accident, an unexpected situation that he did not expect."
"Only in the north of the city, the other party discovered the problem immediately and began to make adjustments and layout. He tried to cover up the signs that Yunzhou City had been invaded by parasites, so he made the small courtyard so bloody, and even
We instigated those merchants to cause trouble...but the other party obviously didn't expect that we would have Song Baiye, so planning those merchants' riots exposed the flaw and made Su Anran focus on those problematic goods."
"The first two steps of the strategy were obviously carried out in a hurry. It looked more like an attempt to save and deal with the aftermath. It was only due to miscalculations in intelligence that the flaws became bigger and bigger. And Su Anran is not like Chong Xingzi.
People who would be led by the nose and acted with scruples, so the other party simply ignored the abandoned children who escaped from the small courtyard, and instead tried to retain their strength, such as letting the wealthy businessmen and big shots escape..."
"No, that's not right."
"It's still diverting attention. But...why does it continue to divert attention?"
"What does it want to keep?"
"No, it's not to protect something, but...it wants to hide it!"
Qingyu's eyes suddenly brightened: "The person who went to deal with Taoist Yunming is definitely not him, so as long as he follows him, he will definitely be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes. So..." Qingyu hurriedly said: "Quick,
Little butcher, go and tell your father, even if you find Taoist Yunming, even if you see Taoist Yunming being killed, you must not attack that person, but follow him!"
The little butcher was stunned for a moment, a little frightened by Qingyu's sudden exclamation, but it was related to business after all, so she quickly turned and left.
"Finally caught your tail!" Qingyu's eyes looked particularly bright at this moment.
…
In a residential house in the north of the city, a thin, pale-skinned middle-aged man was drinking in the lobby with a strong and burly middle-aged man.
"The other party took the bait and has discovered the abandoned ones."
"This is all in your plan, sir." Zhang Orion, a sturdy middle-aged man, complimented with a smile.
"That Taoist is useless anymore. Let's kill him."
"Yes, I will handle this matter myself." Zhang Orion nodded.
"No." The middle-aged man shook his head, "Don't we still have an abandoned son who ran away from the merchant? Let her kill the Taoist, and don't show yourself. Those guys are not ordinary opponents.
They are very smart. Once you reveal some clues, they will definitely bite you... After all, you are not their opponent yet, I am afraid you will not be able to survive a round in their hands."
"Is it that strong?"
"That's how strong it is." The middle-aged man coughed lightly, and then said, "Let the maid kill the Taoist, and then let her go to a remote place to stay for a few days. If she is not dead after three days,
You go and kill her...if she is discovered within three days, there will be no need for you to do it yourself."
"Yes." Orion Zhang nodded.
"Remember, you are not their opponent, so don't fight with them...especially the old Taoist. He can run away when he sees you. If it is another sword cultivator with a sword, then you can fight him.
Fight, but remember to be quick, otherwise the old Taoist will rush over and you will be dead."
