My teacher is a bit strong

"A possibility that I really don't want to face." Su Anran let out a foul breath, "For example... Over the long years, the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider, or those first-generation parasites, have all evolved and acquired other parasites. Special abilities that we don't know about."

"If that's the case, why wasn't it shown before?"

"There are two possibilities." Su Anran said, "One is that it has been revealed before, but you didn't discover it. There is another possibility, that the ability obtained after this evolution is not stable, so there is not much performance, but as our Supreme Unity joined this battle, it brought more pressure on the Soul Breaker Demon Mountain Spider and these parasites, causing them to speed up their evolution, and now... finally evolved successfully."

Chong Xingzi was stunned.

Su Anran let out a heavy breath, and said in a low tone: "Hundreds of years have passed, as long as the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider is infected with a few talented geniuses, then give them enough time to develop, and the changes they will bring will definitely not change. It will be lower than our human race...Maybe, we are no longer fighting a beast that only has instincts like the Soul Splitting Demon Mountain Spider, but we are fighting a brand new intelligent race."

"This..." Chong Xingzi still couldn't believe it, "Is this impossible?"

"Nothing is impossible." Su Anran sighed, "The fierce beast suppressed the instinct and evolved into a monster. The monster imitated the human race and mastered the ability to transform, so the monster race was born... Even our human race, In order not to just die like this, don’t you also master Duoshe, and is there a cultivation method to become a ghost cultivator?... All kinds of changes and evolutions in the world are not static, but are only influenced by external factors.”

Chapter 078 Coping

Su Anran and Chong Xingzi quickly found the business manager of the Qiyuan family.

However, what they found was not a human being.

But a corpse.

"It's late." Chong Xingzi sighed.

Compared with those unlucky ghosts in the yard, the steward's corpse is very complete and has not been disemboweled, but the astonishment on his face also shows that he is quite confused about the arrival of death, and he probably didn't think of it himself. I will come to such a result.

Su Anran glanced around the manager's office.

When the two of them were looking for the steward, they had already asked someone by the way. The steward was the maid who met in the office room. After learning the news from Taoist Yun Ming, they hurried over to find Su Anran and the others. Afterwards, when Su Anran and others went to Taoist Yunming's small courtyard, the steward returned to the office.

Then, he died here.

Su Anran was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and kicked the desk over.

"You, what are you going to do?" Chong Xingzi was startled.

Su Anran didn't speak, a sword energy directly passed over the steward's body, ripping him open on the spot.

With such a bloody and brutal act, Chong Xingzi was so frightened that he didn't know how to speak.

"Are you... are you... are you crazy?"

Looking at the things that fell out of the steward's body, Su Anran froze for a moment, and frowned involuntarily: "There isn't any?"

"No? Nothing?" Chong Xingzi didn't react, "What are you looking for?"

"I just find it strange." Su Anran's frowning brows did not relax, and her face became even more ugly. "The massacre in your disciple's small courtyard was to hide other parasites who absconded... At that time, I saw The situation in that small courtyard is already suspicious of this maid."

Chong Xingzi thought for a while, then nodded, and then said: "I doubted it too. The massacre over there was simple and neat. Although I haven't seen this maid, I don't think she is very powerful, so how could she escape? I figured it out, and even reported the situation to the steward.”

Speaking of this, Chong Xingzi also understood, he looked at Su Anran and said again: "You suspect that this manager is also infected?"

"Yes." Su Anran nodded, without denying it, "If he is still alive, I might not think so, but if he is dead, and the body is so complete, then I really doubt it."

"What do you mean?" Chong Xingzi didn't understand.

"After the maid infected the steward, she asked the steward to find us and shift her attention to your disciple's small courtyard, and then the maid can abscond and leave, and when we find out what's going on in the small courtyard When we came back to look for the steward, he was already dead, so it was impossible for us to provide us with any more information, and we also had no way of knowing how many parasites escaped from that small courtyard."

"I still don't understand." Chong Xingzi also frowned, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if the other party didn't say anything at all? At that time, I had some... conflicts with you. If the other party didn't say anything, wait I found this out after I went back, don’t they have more time to arrange? Why do you want to startle the snake? What good is it for them if you startle us all?”

Chong Xingzi didn't dare to say the word "conflict", because he already understood that in the previous confrontation with Su Anran, he gave way to him from beginning to end.

If there was a real fight at that time, I'm afraid I would have died.

"It's because we had a conflict." Su Anran said, "At that time, your disciple was already infected, so you came to me, he probably didn't know. But I didn't fight with you, and the continuous confrontation didn't help. , so the other party changed their strategy... It’s just your idea to scare the enemy, they must hide a deeper purpose, but we don’t know it yet, but the current situation is enough to prove that we were led by the nose.”

Chong Xingzi took another look at the disemboweled steward, hesitant to speak.

You haven't said until now, why did you dissect the steward.

Su Anran glanced at Chong Xingzi, and knew what the other person was thinking, so she explained again: "I cut open his abdomen to see if there is any strange thing parasitized in his body... This is a very simple lamp. Hei Siwei. This steward came to us and told us the situation. We are not fools. As long as we go to that small courtyard, we will definitely know his importance. But when we turn around and find that he is dead, all the clues must be If it was you, what would you do?"

"It must be a comprehensive search." Chong Xingzi replied without thinking, "The merchants of the Qiyuan family have been operating here for so long, and those guards and maids must know each other, so just investigate those people. Basically, we can know the identities of everyone in that small courtyard, and we can find out who is missing by comparison... The death of the steward will only increase our workload, but it does not mean that all clues will be cut off."

"Then what do you plan to do with this corpse?" Su Anran pointed to the steward.

"Buried." Chong Xingzi said with a face of course.

"Look, if he has already been infected by parasites, he will disappear from under your nose now." Su Anran pointed at the body of the steward, "If at this time, some parasites put eggs in his body If it is similar, then he will be used as a breeding ground, and you will not even know where the source of infection spread from."

Hearing Su Anran's words, Chong Xingzi was shocked.

He finally understood what the phrase "dark under the lamp" meant.

"So you were checking just now, is there anything strange in his body?"

"Yes." Su Anran nodded, "I thought his corpse would definitely be used as a hotbed, but I didn't expect that there were no parasites. So even I am not sure if he was infected before. Parasitic."

At this moment, Chong Xingzi only felt that his head was as big as a numb.

"Let someone cremate his body." Su Anran sighed, "The current situation is very difficult."

Chong Xingzi also understood what Su Anran meant, he nodded without refuting.

Soon, Chong Xingzi officially took over the affairs of the entire station, and asked his three disciples to interrogate these personnel in the station, and asked them to give evidence to each other. It is necessary to investigate how many parasites ran out of the courtyard of Taoist Izumo Ming. body.At the same time, the entire resident is also closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and all those who have entered the resident today are also prohibited from leaving.

As a result, it naturally caused dissatisfaction among many businessmen.

The Qiyuan family's resident business in Yunzhou City is naturally not for charity, so a large amount of goods are shipped here every day, and some of them will be packed and sent to the deacon of the Great Crane Kingdom by other means of transportation. There, it was finally arranged to be transported to the Qiyuan family of the Northern Tang Dynasty.As for the other part, it will be directly handed over to Yunzhou City or Dahe Country, or other surrounding areas according to market demand, so as to earn funds.

Therefore, the closure of this station is not only equivalent to the closure of a transportation node arranged by the Qiyuan family in the Great Crane Kingdom, but also cuts off the supply of materials in Yunzhou City and the surrounding areas, which will naturally cause quite a strong backlash.

Especially because of Chong Xingzi's order, many merchants have been detained in this station.

They don't understand the problem of "parasites".

The heights of the two sides are different, and the content of understanding and concern is naturally different.

Su Anran can understand the worries and worries of these businessmen, and can also understand that they need to do their best just to survive, and how terrible the impact of this disaster will be on them.But if the problem of parasites is not resolved, then it will not only be Yunzhou City that will have problems, but it will probably evolve into a huge problem for the entire Great Crane Country, and even the Great Crane Country and its surrounding areas.

Su Anran could feel that the parasite he faced this time was not simple.

Soon, Su Anran, who parted ways with Chong Xingzi, returned to her small courtyard.

Hearing the news of Su Anran's return, Qingyu and the little butcher also came out quickly.

"Is the problem serious?" Seeing Su Anran's serious face, Qing Yu asked.

Su Anran knew that Qingyu's brain was better than her own, so she told Qingyu everything that happened just now, and the latter fell into a long silence after listening.

"Where is Song Baiye?" The little butcher asked curiously seeing that only Su Anran had returned and Song Baiye was nowhere to be seen.

"Let him get busy with other things." Su Anran said.

The little butcher thought for a while, and didn't continue to ask questions.

And this time, Qingyu also spoke: "The real goal of these parasites is probably to hold you back."

"Hold me?" Su Anran was puzzled, "Why?"

"We still don't know how many parasites escaped in that small courtyard, so I can't be sure what kind of infection hazards these parasites will cause in the future, so until this matter is completely resolved, we can't Get out of here." Qingyu said, "If we want to cut the mess quickly, of course we can, but I don't think you can do this kind of thing."

"Why can't it be done?"

"Tucheng." Qingyu glanced at Su Anran, "Do you dare?"

Su Anran was speechless immediately.

If it is a hostile family, Su Anran may be able to directly destroy the entire family of the other party.

But Yunzhou City has a population of nearly 30 people, and these people are quite innocent. Su Anran would not be able to do such a thing if he wanted to directly massacre the city because of the unknown source of infection.

"Your mentality, don't let that parasite find out." Seeing Su Anran's expression, Qingyu knew what he was thinking, "So you'd better show that you don't care, at least don't treat Yunzhou City Others showed concern."

"Why?" Su Anran was puzzled.

"Because you are like this now, once those parasites find out, they only need to escape one, and they will attack the entire Yunzhou City. It is not impossible to infect the entire Yunzhou City with tens of thousands of people. Yes." Qingyu said in a deep voice, "And at that time, even if you don't want to slaughter the city, you have to, otherwise, how do you plan to solve the 10 parasites?... You should know that once you are infected and become parasitic body, there is no possibility of turning back into a human being.”

Su Anran immediately understood Qingyu's worry.

Once those parasites find out about Su Anran's worries, they will definitely find a way to infect everyone in Yunzhou City with their inhumane approach.After all, this matter was caused by Su Anran, so it will naturally become his "cause", so no matter what the final result of the 30 people in Yunzhou City is, Su Anran must bear this "result". This matter may also become a hole in Su Anran's mood.

"You shouldn't have saved Yunming in the first place." Su Anran cursed.

"We didn't expect him to be infected." Qingyu sighed, "I am also responsible for this matter, after all, I was the one who examined Yunming at the time... Now I finally understand why the Soul Splitting Demon Mountain Spider It's me and your karma involved."

"So, that parasite made such a big battle just to drag us here?"

"It must be more than that." Qingyu shook her head, "I can't figure out what this parasite is thinking now, but through the chaos created by Taoist Yunming, it is certain that holding us back is only one of the reasons, and the other is My guess is that the direction is to create internal discord."

"What do you mean?"

"If you had fought with Chong Xingzi and even injured him, do you think he would have died?" Qingyu asked.

Su Anran sighed: "I also guessed it... At that time, as long as I injured Chong Xingzi, he would definitely die, and even the three disciples he brought would die, and even Taoist Yun Ming would die, and then The resident manager will definitely report this matter, and then we will definitely have a conflict with the Kunlun faction."

"Not only." Qingyu shook her head, "When you went, Nan Fengqing was already dead. So you killed not only people from the Kunlun faction, but also Nan Fengqing, which means you provoked the Kunlun faction and Nan Fengqing at the same time. The Feng family, even... If it was my arrangement, then the housekeeper would also die, and even more than half of the people in this resident would die, and the Qiyuan family had already received a letter from the steward, so wait for the other party When you come to investigate, what do you think will happen to us?"

Before Su Anran could speak, Qingyu continued: "At that time, we will offend the Kunlun faction, the Nanfeng family, and the Qiyuan family. And the Nanfeng family is not weak, even if Nanfengyi will listen to our explanations, we will be able to deal with each other. The seeds of doubt will inevitably be planted during this period, coupled with the hostility from the Qiyuan family, the Northern Tang Dynasty will definitely not trust us, then our activities in North Ridge will become more difficult."

"This is a conspiracy, and it must be the other party's plan at the beginning. Even in the plan, we may not be able to discover the existence of the parasite, because the whole process is invisible, and at most we will only think that there is a parasite Sneak in here and kill."

"You guys who are plotting and planning, your hearts are really dirty."

Su Anran was a little horrified, thankfully he had obeyed Qingyu's arrangement before, and didn't fight Chong Xingzi when he saw Chong Xingzi who came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, otherwise he would not be able to clean up if he really jumped into the Yellow River now.

"But the current problem, we are still being held back. At present, we are completely at a loss, and we don't know the other party's purpose at all."

"The other party changed their plan after knowing that we would not have internal strife with the Kunlun faction, but the plan may not be as detailed as it was at the beginning, so the other party must be in a situation of taking one step at a time now." Qingyu said, " And this is our chance... We must find out the absconding parasites before the other party executes the new plan, so that we can figure out what the other party wants to do."

"I have already asked Song Baiye to watch over this station. As long as you are in this station, don't even think about running out."

"Where is the tunnel? Have you checked?" Qingyu asked again.

"I've already told Chong Xingzi about this. One of his disciples has learned the technique of earth movement. Now he is in charge of inspecting the tunnels and secret rooms in the residence. I believe there will be results soon."

"No, don't block the tunnel." Qingyu shook her head, "What we have to do is to ensure that if someone uses the tunnel or other means to escape from this station, we can find it immediately and start tracking."

"What do you mean?"

"The other party immediately changed their plan when they found out that you didn't break out with Chong Xingzi. This means that the parasite infected by Taoist Yun Ming must also be in Yunzhou City, and it can also accurately control the place where it is stationed. Every move in the house."

"City closure!"

"No!" Qingyu stopped abruptly, "This is the real way to scare the snake away! The most important thing for us now is to come up with a method to judge the parasite and the human race, only in this way can we take the initiative."

Chapter 079 Worst Result

The thorough investigation was somewhat difficult.

The main reason was that the businessmen at the front of the station were not very willing to cooperate, and everyone was clamoring for the steward to come out and explain the situation.And because of these people's unwillingness to cooperate, things quickly became a little chaotic. Some merchants began to try to escape here, and because there was no order from the steward, the guards didn't understand what happened, so naturally they didn't immediately to block.

then……

Things started to get a little out of hand.

"Fifteen merchants died, as well as the guards they brought." When Chong Xingzi saw Su Anran again, his face was a little ugly, "The number of deaths caused by this round of chaos has far exceeded that of the previous round of chaos." It happened in the courtyard."

"Is there a parasite lurking in it?" Su Anran asked.

Chong Xingzi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I don't know... I can't tell if there are parasites mixed in, but anyway, the conflict and chaos erupted too fast. If no one is instigating it, I am Never believe it."

Su Anran remained silent.

He was alarmed because Song Baiye told him that someone was dead, so he hurried over from the backyard, and happened to bump into Chong Xingzi who had also received the news and came to clean up the mess—his three disciples had missions, because Considering Yun Kong's temperament, Chong Xingzi asked him to appease the merchants in the front yard and the Qiyuan family's workers.But what I didn't expect was that because of Yunkong's lack of on-the-spot adaptability, when someone instigated and quickly turned into a conflict, Yunkong was a little at a loss.

If Su Anran hadn't arranged for Song Baiye to seal off the entire garrison early in the morning, someone might have escaped by now.

No one saw how Song Baiye made his move.

But all the merchants and guards who tried to rush out of the front door or climb over the wall were all killed by Song Baiye.

"Give me the corpse." Su Anran said.

Chong Xingzi glanced at Su Anran, then nodded, then turned and left.

Since Su Anran wants to take over the aftermath of the front yard, of course he will not refuse. After all, the biggest problem right now is to find out the parasites lurking in the chamber of commerce as soon as possible, so he really doesn't have time to properly deal with the front yard. side chaos.As for how brutal Su Anran will use to solve this problem, Chong Xingzi doesn't plan to bother. Anyway, if there is a big quarrel in the end, it will be a diplomatic dispute between Su Anran and their Taiyi sect.

Su Anran naturally knew what Chong Xingzi was thinking.

But he had no resentment or other emotional thoughts.

After all, the Kunlun faction is now in Beiling, so it is natural to feel a little constrained in dealing with many mundane affairs, because every move of Chong Xingzi represents the Kunlun faction, so he has to consider the attitude of the Qiyuan family and the Northern Tang dynasty. attitude, so some things can obviously be solved quickly, but because of the delay of these things, they have to go roundabout.

As a result, it is naturally quite troublesome.
