Chapter 803 The Great Dream Returns 12
Zhuo Yichen successfully solved the case of the water ghost kidnapping the bride and submitted all the evidence and confessions. As for Ran Yi's inner elixir, he gave it to Jiang Xinxin, who accepted it and promised: "I will only take this inner elixir back to the Great Wilderness and send it to the sea under Kunlun Mountain. I will never give it to other humans or monsters for use."
Before he died, Ran Yi gave Zhuo Yichen another scale, hoping that he would not be troubled by nightmares and continue his previous fate of meeting Zhuo Yichen's brother Zhuo Yixuan. However, Zhuo Yichen just put the scale away and did not intend to use it. Although he still could not get over the death of his father and brother, in the nightmare that Ran Yi cast on him, he could even kill himself, so why should he be afraid of a mere nightmare?
For the Monster Hunting Bureau, the most important thing is its official restart, and it is worth being happy for a while that General Wu of Chongwu Camp lost his life in vain during a monster hunting activity.
However, although Fan Ying, the commander of the Monster Hunting Division, had never told anyone about Jiang Xinxin's ability to fly in the clouds, the fact that both the Monster Hunting Division and the Chongwu Camp were suddenly avoiding mentioning Jiang Xinxin at the same time, wasn't this worthy of the court officials' attention?
So recently, whether Jiang Xinxin went out or returned to her house, she always felt that someone was secretly spying on her. Zhen Mei also secretly passed a message through Pei Sijing, saying that someone in the court had noticed Jiang Xinxin.
Pei Sijing was a little worried about Jiang Xinxin's situation. Although she was just a barely ranked master in Chongwu Camp before, she was used to the intrigues among Zhen Mei and others in Chongwu Camp for power and credit. She saw the big picture from the small details and felt that it was definitely not a good thing for Jiang Xinxin to be targeted by important officials of the court.
Jiang Xinxin didn't think Pei Sijing was worrying unnecessarily, and after experiencing some things, she understood very well how crazy people would do to seek immortality, so she thanked him solemnly and promised: "The Monster Hunting Division is still free at the moment. If you need help, just ask, and I will do my best."
Pei Sijing felt that Jiang Xinxin was too polite, but after getting to know Jiang Xinxin a little bit, she recalled what Jiang Xinxin had said before, that it would be best for half-demons to live in the wilderness, and she thought of her younger brother Pei Siheng, who was shot and killed by her personally.
In fact, when she was on a mission in Chongwu Camp that day, there were rumors outside that she shot and killed a man in black who was not sure whether he was a human or a demon, so she left Chongwu Camp. In fact, the man in black was her own brother Pei Siheng. She was very sure that she shot and killed her own brother Pei Siheng with her own hands, and she was even more certain that Pei Siheng had turned into a half-demon at that time!
The incident happened suddenly that day. She really couldn't accept that the Pei family had been good at catching and killing monsters to protect the safety of the human race for generations. In order to support the Pei family, she had no time to play since she was a child. But she really didn't expect that her own brother would actually become a half-monster, and even appeared in the scene where the monsters were killing people!
So at that time, Pei Sijing endured the heartache and shot Pei Siheng with her own hands. But now, after nearly two months of calmness and recalling the scene at that time through Ran Yi's dream, Pei Sijing always felt that things were not that simple. Therefore, after Jiang Xinxin said those words, her first thought was to ask Jiang Xinxin to help investigate why her brother became a half-demon. If she could not find out the whole story, at least ask Jiang Xinxin to provide some places her brother often went to or people he often contacted after he became a half-demon.
So Pei Sijing asked tentatively: "Sir, can you help me find some people or places?"
Jiang Xinxin was a little unsure, but still said, "If you have something that the other person has frequently touched within the past six months, I can find the person or place you want."
In fact, Jiang Xinxin also wanted to do an experiment. She used the species of the Jianmu sacred tree to search for Bai Ze Ling, but there was no movement at all. Various signs showed that there was nothing wrong with her magic, but it just couldn't produce any results, which made her suspicious.
So today, whenever Pei Sijing asked her to find someone or a place, she would agree immediately.
Pei Sijing had great confidence in Jiang Xinxin's ability, so she smiled and thanked him again and again, and took out a peace locket from her purse. "This is the peace locket my brother has worn since he was a child. It has been away from me for about two months, so I think it can be used!"
Jiang Xinxin did not perfunctorily take the locket and put it in the palm of her left hand. Then she quickly made a few hand gestures with her right hand, drawing out a breath that did not belong to Pei Sijing from the locket. She then released a dozen spirit butterflies given by Feng Qingxue towards this breath, and these spirit butterflies flew away along this breath.
Jiang Xinxin returned the used peace locket to Pei Sijing, signaling her to just follow these transparent, sparkling butterflies. However, after following them all the way outside, the butterflies split into four directions. Pei Sijing immediately recognized two of them: one was the direction of her home, and the other was the place where she shot Pei Siheng that day.
As for the other two places, Pei Sijing was a little confused. Moreover, the auras in the two directions seemed to be similar, so the number of spirit butterflies assigned there was also similar. Jiang Xinxin suggested, "It's just right that you and I can act separately. I'll choose the left side, and you go to the right side."
There happened to be the Chongwu Camp on the left, and Jiang Xinxin wanted to collect the monsters captured by the Chongwu Camp along the way, so this was very convenient.
Pei Sijing didn't say anything and immediately nodded in agreement. However, she thanked Jiang Xinxin again and again before leaving, which made Jiang Xinxin feel that she was too polite and too normal.
On the other side, Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao, Zhao Yuanzhou and Bai Jiu were originally busy with the logistics of the demon hunting team. As a result, they couldn't find Jiang Xinxin and Pei Sijing. After asking around for a long time, they finally found the guard at the gate. The guard said that Jiang Xinxin and Pei Sijing had split up into two groups to look for someone, but they only saw the direction they went separately.
Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao immediately wanted to help Pei Sijing. After all, Jiang Xinxin's fighting ability was there, and if someone else went there, it might cause trouble. Bai Jiu was still a child. He looked at the direction Jiang Xinxin was going. There was not only Chongwu Camp, but also Jixin Hall. These were places he was very familiar with, so he chose to stay in the Monster Hunting Division.
When Zhao Yuanzhou saw that Wen Xiao and Zhuo Yichen chose to help Pei Sijing, he chose Jiang Xinxin's side.
The masked man's reaction was not slow either, especially with the help of Li Lun, so Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao quickly caught up with Pei Sijing. The three of them discovered a murder scene together, especially with Pei Siheng at the scene.
Pei Sijing suddenly felt heartbroken. She had always found it hard to accept that the Pei family had a half-demon, and a half-demon who had become one on his own initiative. So when Pei Siheng first appeared at a murder scene, she killed Pei Siheng with great reluctance.
When Wen Xiao saw Pei Sijing's red eyes and heard the person opposite her calling Pei Sijing "sister", she immediately realized that the person opposite her was the young master of the Pei family who was born weak and unable to practice martial arts, and had even been accompanied by a medicine jar since birth.
Wen Xiao and Zhuo Yichen didn't understand why Pei Siheng suddenly turned into a half-demon, and there was a high probability that he was related to a murder case involving a demon. They just planned to take him back to the Demon Hunting Bureau for questioning.
But Zhuo Yichen was injured yesterday, and Jiang Xinxin forgot to heal him, so even with the combined efforts of the three of them, Pei Siheng still managed to escape. It happened that the Psylocke was ineffective, so they decided to investigate the scene first.
On the other side, Jiang Xinxin followed Lingdie and found a place with a barrier. Zhao Yuanzhou, who followed behind, determined at a glance that this was the place where Cheng Huang, the great demon who accompanied the first generation Bai Ze Goddess, lived after leaving the Great Wilderness.
"Tell me the details of the situation." Jiang Xinxin gestured to Zhao Yuanzhou.
Zhao Yuanzhou did not intend to keep the secret, and answered directly: "Everyone in the world only knows that Cheng Huang is the mount of the first Bai Ze Goddess. They don't know that Cheng Huang made a big mistake and was exiled from Kunlun Mountain. Later, he secretly opened the gate to the God Realm and let a large number of demons into the human world."
"I only know that after he was driven out of the Great Wilderness, he lived in the observatory. This place looks similar to the residence of Cheng Huang in the legend."
