Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 309 Yu Shishi

"Do you guys have any clues?" Mo Fan asked, leaning against the wall.

Previously, they asked the students to check the water veins, and found that the water veins were very normal and flowing very smoothly. However, as soon as they left, the water veins would be blocked, and not a drop of water would flow into Tongxiang County, which made Dean Xiao's formation unable to function normally.

Water needs to be continuously supplied, so that the water circulation array can continue to circulate, irrigate farmland, and protect towns...

"Teacher, teacher, I found that besides Bai Hongfei who has been in a coma, there are also people in several other families who are in this condition. Should we go and take a look?" Cao Qinqin said.

Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and then started to think. There were too few clues now. They still couldn't understand why Yu Shishi wanted to let these people sleep. What was she trying to hide?
It seems that the person who tied the bell must be found to untie it, and we must start with Yu Shishi.

"Teacher, it's bad. The person who asked me to keep an eye on has been captured by the city's monster hunting team! I went up to ask, and a hunter told me that she is the daughter of a moth monster who can cast evil spells and has killed many people!" Zhou Lixin ran over and said hurriedly to Lin Ran and the others.

“City Monster Hunting Team? The daughter of the moth monster killed someone?” Mo Fan also showed a look of surprise on his face.

Lin Ran also felt a little strange.

Lin Ran recalled some rumors he had heard about this place at Chongming Island Manor. It was said that there was a moth girl in Wuzhen who could confuse and harm people. She often appeared at night and killed people silently!
Could this moth girl be Yu Shishi?

"Teacher, teacher, something big has happened!" Before Lin Ran could recover from the incident with the moth girl, another student came running over.

"What happened?" Mo Fan asked from the side.

"There are many children in Dongzha who are inexplicably fainting, and they are being sent to our hospital in batches." The student looked extremely shocked.

After a while, a lot of crying sounds were heard in the hospital, most of them were from women and the elderly.

They walked out and found that many parents had brought their children into the hospital, which was already very busy.

They went to the ward to check and found that all the children had fainted and their breathing was very weak, as if they were seriously ill.

The symptoms of these children are the same, and are somewhat similar to those of Bai Hongfei who is in a coma. However, Bai Hongfei is in better condition. Apart from falling asleep, there is nothing serious wrong with him.

"Captain of the guard, haven't you already caught that moth girl? But our child is now in this state, it must be her fault!!" a woman said sadly while crying.

"Yes, I said it was her. Such a situation has happened in our village before, but I didn't expect this witch to be so cruel. She even didn't let the children go. We must save these children no matter what." Another old man said tremblingly.

"Okay, let's go kill this damn moth girl now, and the curse should be lifted!" said a group of farmers angrily.

At this time, the men were extremely angry. Seeing their children fainted and difficult to save, and seeing women crying and pointing at the moth woman, they rushed out angrily.

Lin Ran and his companions immediately followed the group of angry men and ran out.

"Everyone please be calm. You don't know any magic, so why act so impulsively? Let our city monster hunting team handle this matter." said Feng Guangkuo, the captain of the guards.

"No, we must kill her with our own hands!!"

"Yes, yes, she has caused panic among us, and now she has even started to harm our children. We don't care whether she is a human or a monster, we just want to peel off her skin!"

Emotions of anger are contagious. In recent years, rumors of the terrible Moth Girl have been circulating in Qing Town. Coupled with the multiple disappearances and unexplained deaths, the city's monster hunting team has visited many times but to no avail. People have developed a fear of the Moth Girl in panic. But now, with their own children fainting and seriously ill, and the news of the Moth Girl's arrest, the suppressed emotions in their hearts have instantly turned into a vengeful beast!

A large group of them quickly rushed to the gate of Qingzhen Town Government. They could not be stopped at all and they rushed into the courtyard in an instant.

"Moth girl! If anything happens to my child, I will make sure you live a life worse than death!" a tall farmer said angrily.

"She's there!" Suddenly a sharp-eyed man saw the stone pillar in the center of the courtyard. On the pillar, there were frost chains tightly wrapped around a woman.

The members of the City Monster Hunting Team were there at this time. They didn't know that the anger of the townspeople was pouring in like a flood, so they hurried over to stop it.

"Shishi? Why is it you?" Suddenly, the farmer who rushed to the front was stunned. He looked at the woman tied to the pillar with frost chains with a dazed look on his face.

The townspeople around him were also dumbfounded. They looked at the familiar woman in front of them, and for a moment, most of their ferocious aura disappeared.

"Captain of the guard, you...you may have got the wrong person. Shishi is from our town." said the big man Guan Ping.

The captain of the guards, Feng Guangkuo, sighed and said, "We won't make a mistake. This is why we don't let you come."

"But……"

"Shishi is a very good girl, how could she be a moth girl?" said Guan Pingdao, who represented the farmers in the town.

"Hehe, fortunately the girl is here. Humph, I felt that something was wrong with her before. She came back very late every night and was often missing. I used to think that she was just living an immoral life and fooling around with other men. But I didn't expect that she was not only a disaster to other people's men, but also a dangerous goblin, a man-eating monster!" Suddenly, a slightly bloated woman behind the farmers' team said sharply.

"Ah? Sister-in-law, have you seen her eat people?" Upon hearing this, several young women turned pale with fright.

There were many women following the farmers' group, and they were also shocked when they found out that the moth girl was Yu Shishi.

"Well, do you remember the drunkard from before? Before he disappeared, didn't he often run to this woman's house? The drunkard hasn't been found yet. Where else would he have gone, except that he entered the belly of this female enchantress? She is a monster!" said a bloated woman.

"That's right, that's right, the drunkard did often visit Yu Shishi before he disappeared!"

"Oh my God, how could this grown-up girl eat people!"

"She is the Moth Girl, a demon transformed!"

"Wife, please don't talk nonsense. How could Yu Shishi do such a thing? Once when we were out, our child accidentally fell into the ditch, and we asked Yu Shishi to help take care of him..." Guan Ping couldn't help but defend herself. "Humph, you are still speaking for this monster. Do you remember that the children in our town loved to play with her? But now you see, our children have been poisoned by her. All her kindness is fake. She is just looking for opportunities to harm people!" said the bloated woman Wang Tianhua.

"Yes, yes, the children in our town, township and village have all had contact with her. It must be her! Don't stop me, I must stab her to death!" At this time, a woman with red eyes rushed forward, holding a pair of scissors in her hand.

The city monster hunting team does not have a lot of people, and they are unable to stop the public resentment for a while.

Yu Shishi looked at the people in front of her with an expressionless face. Just when the woman was about to stab her with the scissors, countless silk threads suddenly appeared on her body. These green silk threads quickly wrapped Yu Shishi into an oval cocoon. The scissors pierced the cocoon but could not penetrate even a little bit.

The green cocoon was so transparent that one could even see Yu Shishi’s pale and bloodless face.

"Everyone, please don't be like this. If you really care about your children, don't make a fuss here. Now we have to find out whether the children are cursed. If it is a curse, then killing her can indeed solve the problem. But if it is something else, we have not found a cure from her, so your children will be in real danger!" Feng Guangkuo said loudly at this time.

Soon, more and more members of the city monster hunting team came and blocked the angry villagers.

"Captain of the Guards, you have to save our child. Xiaoxiao is our only child. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to him."

"I understand. You should go back now. If you continue to make trouble like this, it will hinder our investigation." Feng Guangkuo said.

Feng Guangkuo still has a lot of prestige among the townspeople. If there are any problems in Tongxiang, they are basically solved by Feng Guangkuo.

The townspeople and villagers left with a lot of curses. Lin Ran and his companions watched all of this and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Is this ancient times?" This was such an outrageous plot.

A woman with outstanding appearance and superior temperament, because the men in the village are extremely obsessed with her, she has attracted the jealousy and anger of countless women. So when there is an epidemic in the village, the women will immediately blame the girl, and then say that she is a witch, saying that she is a disaster, and they want to burn her to death or put her in a pig cage...

Of course there are still differences. The difference is that Yu Shishi is not a good person. She is indeed a moth woman, and these fainted children are indeed related to her!

"Why don't you leave yet?" Feng Guangkuo asked unhappily when he saw Lin Ran and the other man.

Lin Ran and the other man took out their Master Hunter badges and Pearl Academy instructor identities and said, "We are also investigating this matter. It seems that she blocked the water veins. We need to ask some questions."

"Oh, oh, I didn't realize that you are already a hunter master at such a young age, and also a teacher at Mingzhu Academy. I am so disrespectful!" Feng Guangkuo said immediately.

"Can we talk to her for a few minutes?" Mo Fan asked.

"Okay, but she won't say anything. If we deal with her, these silk threads will appear on her body to protect her." Feng Guangkuo said helplessly.

……

Lin Ran and Mo Fan walked in front of Yu Shishi. When Yu Shishi was not hurt, the protective green hair around her would automatically disappear.

She raised her head tiredly at this moment, her eyes fixed on Lin Ran.

"I should have killed you when we were in the woods before!" When Yu Shishi saw Lin Ran, she was filled with great anger.

She thought she had let Lin Ran off the hook, but she didn't know that Lin Ran later informed the City Monster Hunting Team.

"Don't misunderstand me, because it wasn't me who told the secret. Although I sent people to follow you, I didn't call the City Monster Hunting Team. By the way, are those unconscious children related to you? It shouldn't be..." Lin Ran frowned and asked in confusion.

"Hehe, if I die, then they won't be able to live either, including your students!" Yu Shishi said coldly at this time.

"Why are you doing this?" Mo Fan asked from the side.

"Why?" Yu Shishi suddenly laughed, but her smile was cold and looked a little eerie. "Does a demon need a reason to eat people?"

Mo Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Lin Ran on the side frowned even more.

If, if she is really a demon, then eating and killing people does not require any reason. It is a demon instinct, as simple as a human needing to eat meat.

“Let these kids go, maybe we can save your life, but you will have to spend time in prison.” Mo Fan said.

"Haha, when these kids are about to run out of luck, do you think I am the one negotiating with you, or you are the ones negotiating with me?" Yu Shishi sneered at this time.

"Okay then, but why do you want to cut off the water supply here? Do you want to make the entire Tongxiang barren?" Mo Fan couldn't help asking.

"Yes! That's right, I want them to starve to death!" said Yu Shishi.

"You are truly a complete monster and bitch." Mo Fan couldn't help but say, and then he left angrily.

Lin Ran did not leave. He touched his chin and said in confusion, "I thought you were a totem guardian, but... what you are doing now really doesn't seem like one. The moth that fell into my hands before seemed very spiritual to me, not like a demon. I wonder if you have any difficulties. Tell me and maybe I can help you."

Yu Shishi looked at Lin Ran and said, "You want to lie to me?"

"Hahaha, that's really funny. To be honest, I can crush you to death with just one finger. I'm giving you a chance. Tell me the real truth. My fire has the ability to devour everything, including your memory. If you still don't tell the truth, my fire will devour you. Then I will know everything. I don't have any patience anymore." Lin Ran said.

Yu Shishi looked at Lin Ran for a while before saying, "I just want to live a peaceful life here, but someone wants to capture me... After I was attacked and seriously injured, the green moths went crazy and attacked people nearby, thus accidentally injuring some innocent people. I just want to live peacefully with them."

Yu Shishi told everything.
