in the name of evil

Chapter 112

The agglomeration of resentment was baked by the microwave array, which was a bit ugly, and Jiang Li subconsciously felt that he did not control the heat properly and it was scorched.

But it wasn't until Jiang Li tried to push the lumps into his mouth that he realized that the heat was actually just right, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, and the taste was a bit like brownies.

Only then did Jiang Li realize how reckless it was to directly absorb grievances in the past.

Since it's all devouring, why not be perfect?
"Well, it's delicious, but it's tasteless."

Jiang Li swallowed four lumps one after another, returned to Song Xian contentedly, picked up the coffee he bought at a 24-hour convenience store to refresh himself, drank it as mouthwash, and then sat down on the chair, Satisfied, he stroked his chubby belly and let out a breath of white air.

"I have to bring some seasoning next time. Although the top ingredients don't need fancy cooking, but I have a strong taste, so I can't help it."

Jiang Li talked to himself summarizing his experience of cooking for the first time.

Zuo Zihuan and Song Xian are fine, but they simply think that Jiang Li should go to the hospital for a visit. As for the black suits, they are messed up.

Because Jiang Li's behavior was actually no different from Hannibal's in their cognition, he was a complete lunatic.

"I'll let you guys try again when I have a chance. These four guys are very important to me right now, so I won't share them."

Jiang Li smiled apologetically at Zuo Zihuan and Song Xian.

"This. No need!" Both of them shook their heads and waved their hands.

"Why?" Jiang Li was a little surprised, but Song Xian could say that Zuo Zihuan rose up by devouring ghosts step by step, how could he resist so much.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" Zuo Zihuan still restrained himself from saying the word pervert.

"That's right." Song Xian also echoed, "The visual impact is too strong."

"Hahaha, whether it's fragrant or stinky, it's a piece of meat in my old Jiang's mouth!"

Seeing that the two of them didn't understand the fun, Jiang Li didn't say much, got up and said to himself:
"I'll leave the rest to you, the ghost kings have already been wiped out.

If there is no fish that slips through the net, there will be no worries. The ghosts in Jiangcheng are up to you, just remember not to cause too much slaughter.

I'm going back to sleep, just contact me directly if you need anything. "

"Okay." Zuo Zihuan and Song Xian nodded, and after bidding farewell to Jiang Li, they went to the place where No. [-] was held in a black suit.

With the perception of the tentacles, Zuo Zihuan can clearly know where the controlled black suits are locked up.

That night, Jiangcheng ushered in the first major cleansing of the ghost world.

The initiator is the octopus, but only the executives in black suits in Xiding District knew at the beginning that there is a godfather figure behind the octopus, and they respectfully call him a gourmet.

Kunlun Mountain, the headquarters of the Cleaners Union.

Zhang Xuanli walked down the mountain with a heavy heart.

"It seems that the deduction of the three of us is not wrong, there is really a group of mice in the dark.

Not only the underground palace, but also other places where mysterious forces have infiltrated. "

He sighed, thinking back to what had been discussed at the council.

When he was in Chongyang Palace, he reached an agreement with Qiu Chuyun and Kun Wu to keep this secret temporarily and investigate secretly. When the time is right, he may be able to rely on this information to gain the leadership of the council.

Although the monk and the Taoist conspired always sounded weird, but the participants at that time were Jiang Li, Tan Chufeng and Ling Le, and it was impossible to bypass any of them.

Even though there was some disagreement, the three directors still stood on the united front because they shared common interests.

Obtaining the leadership of the council means that becoming the leader of the martial arts in the world of cultivating immortals will not only have more power to speak, but also the status of the sect in the world of cultivating immortals will be higher.

As the heads of their respective sects, there is no reason to give up these benefits.

It is precisely because of this that the three of them tacitly kept silent during the consecutive days of the council, just quietly listening to the information gathered from various places and the speculations of the council members.

These pieces of information are scattered, but the content is all about abnormalities that have occurred across the country. Only the three of them have extracted clues that can match the Qinling Underground Palace and Bashu Sanxingdui.

Until the end of the meeting, they still didn't say why. They just came to the conclusion that the ghosts were about to move around again, and asked the cleaning workers' union branches to issue notices to strengthen their vigilance.

Zhang Xuanli also thought about whether it is appropriate not to report the knowledge, but people are selfish, although Zhang Xuanli always felt that this was not good, but in the end he didn't say a word about it.

One is that he does not want to give up the opportunity to improve the status of Tianshifu, and even lead the alliance, and the other is that he feels that Tianshifu, which is backed by the strongest in the East, is not afraid of the so-called mysterious organization at all.

No matter what conspiracy the other party has, it is the stepping stone for Tianshi Mansion to reach the top after all.

Qiu Chuyun and Ku Wu also had the same calculation, in their view, it was a bit reluctant for the three sects to share the cake, and there was no reason to share these secrets that they learned by chance.

In the final analysis, the Cleaners Alliance is also a community of interests, maintained by interests, not charitable organizations.

Compared with the strange things that have happened in various places recently, Jiang Li's incident seems insignificant.

Many of the directors present participated in the annual meeting, and some of them did not attend the annual meeting because of their delicate relationship with Quanzhen Sect. They also saw the video about Jiang Li and Xue Ya's evaluation of him from the Cleaner's House.

Coupled with the medal awarded by Qiu Chuyun and the support and cultivation of Zhang Xuanli, the directors don't need to embarrass a young rookie.

So the proposal on Jiang Li's privilege was passed lightly.

Now that the meeting is over, Zhang Xuanli has also embarked on the procedure of returning to Tianshi Mansion.

When parting, he met with Qiu Chuyun and Kun Wu in private again, and put on the agenda the plan to investigate the mysterious organization suspected to be ranked according to the twelve zodiac signs.

When the time is right, they can launch an operation to encircle and suppress this force, so as to gain the dominance of the alliance.

Zhang Xuanli calculated the time and sent a message to Jiang Li, asking him to go to the Tianshi Mansion to accept the assessment the next day.

But just after sending the message, Zhang Xuanli received a call from the person in charge of the net weaver in Jiangcheng.

"What? The ghosts in Jiangcheng are all dormant?"

Zhang Xuanli raised his eyebrows: "Do you know the reason?"

"Okay, let's talk about it when I come back. Remember to tell the bald monks of Songye Temple. They also need to know about this, so as not to find an alliance to protest that we are the only one in Jiangcheng and suppress other sects."

Thinking of those monks, Zhang Xuanli felt angry. It was obvious that these annoying monks ran to the Tianshi Mansion site to snatch incense, and it was fine if their influence was not as good as the Tianshi Mansion, and they would report to the headquarters every now and then. Annoying to death.

That night, after Zhang Xuanli returned to Jiangcheng, he immediately found the person in charge of the net weaver.

The Taoist name of the person in charge is Zixuan, a Taoist priest of the Taiqing Palace who practiced divination and calculation since he was a child, and was sent to Jiangcheng from Yudu.

Because they come from the same source, the net weavers in Jiangcheng and Tianshifu wear the same pair of trousers.

Zixuan has never seen Zhang Xuanli since the last time in Xiding District because of Zuo Zihuan, the peak of the evil spirit, there was an abnormality, but Zixuan just asked Zhang Yin to tell Zhang Xuanli who happened to be not in the Tianshi Mansion, and finally caused serious consequences. , Seeing him now, his expression seemed a little ashamed.

But Zhang Xuanli didn't care about the past, just frowned and asked:

"what happened?"

It stands to reason that it is actually a good thing for ghosts to hibernate, but after participating in the council and combining with the mysterious organization, Zhang Xuanli always felt a little uneasy, and it was more or less the meaning of the grass and trees in it.

"I don't know, it's just that the ghosts in Jiangcheng have been very peaceful recently. In the past, not only the ghosts would fight each other, but they even hurt ordinary people from time to time.

But in the past two days, let alone fighting, there was not even a little fluctuation. If I could not observe their resentment, I would suspect that they ran away from home collectively. "

Zi Xuan is also very confused.

Zhang Xuanli asked again: "Did you tell the monk of Songye Temple?"

Zixuan nodded: "I've said it, they think it's a good thing, and they say it's a blessing for them to chant scriptures every day for so many years."

Zhang Xuanli was stunned, and he could say such words, as expected of a monk.

"In short, let's observe carefully, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy."

"Don't worry." Zixuan said: "I have already sent my eldest disciple to observe the scene at a close distance. It won't be long before we know the truth. Sigh, Cao Cao is here, he is back."

While talking, a young man walked in from outside the observatory.

Seeing that Zhang Xuanli was also there, the man saluted immediately: "Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Xuanli nodded slightly: "Did my nephew discover anything?"

The young man's expression was a little strange, as if he had discovered something unusual:
"Yes, and this discovery is a bit surprising. The evil spirits that used to exist in fixed positions in Jiangcheng have all disappeared."

"All disappeared?" Zhang Xuanli was a little surprised.

Zixuan clapped his hands, and suddenly realized: "No wonder everyone has calmed down. The leading evil spirits have disappeared, and the low-level wandering souls have lost their leaders. They are no different from ordinary earth-bound spirits."

But Zhang Xuanli didn't feel relieved at all, and immediately opened the cleaner's house, checked the task list carefully, and found that no one had recently accepted the task about Jiangcheng's evil spirits.

"No, the task has never been accepted, which means it wasn't done by members of the Cleaners Alliance, so who could it be? Could it be that these evil spirits left Jiangcheng on their own?"

Zhang Xuanli couldn't help but said doubtfully.

And Zixuan shook his head: "Impossible, although our observation area is limited and we cannot clearly know everything that happened in Jiangcheng, but we have settings on the edge of the city, if the evil spirits want to leave Jiangcheng, they still can't hide it from us. The only possibility is to be wiped out in Jiangcheng."

"Who would that be?"

Zhang Xuanli couldn't help but think of that mysterious organization. Could it be that these guys have extended their hands to Jiangcheng?
He was a little terrified, but at the same time he was a little angry, so blatantly causing trouble on the Tianshi Mansion's territory, where did he put his face?

"Okay, I understand. Please brother, please continue to follow up on this matter. If you don't want to find out the whole story, at least you have to figure out the current situation first." After Zhang Xuanli explained to Zixuan, he left the observation station and returned to Tianshi government.

The next morning, Jiang Li came to the Tianshi Mansion, led by Qing Yan, directly to the Tianshi Hall, and met Zhang Xuanli.

"Daozhang Zhang, come on, I can't wait!"

Jiang Li's eyes were shining with excitement.

As soon as he passed the assessment, he was ready to go to the cleaner's house to accept the task about the four ghost kings and receive the reward.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuanli didn't seem to notice Jiang Lilai at all. He looked pensive, and there were two dark circles on his face. Although it was not as obvious as Zhang Yin's perennial dark circles, it could also be seen that Henry Zhang Kasa must have been up all night.

"Daozhang Zhang?"

Jiang Li called again tentatively.

Zhang Xuanli still didn't respond.

Knowing that Jiang Li stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, Zhang Xuanli came back to his senses.

"You are here."

Zhang Xuanli was a little haggard, smiled at Jiang Li, and then said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry, I forgot to tell you, the assessment may have to be delayed."

"Ah? Why?" Jiang Li was disappointed, and he slumped down on the chair next to him as if he was discouraged.

"Oh, the content of the assessment is gone." Zhang Xuanli said with a wry smile.

"No more? Was it stolen by Zhang Yin and sold?"

Jiang Li immediately started searching for the enemy in the void, looking filled with righteous indignation.

"Ah? Haha, why do you think about it?"

Zhang Xuanli first laughed, and then explained:
"I don't want to hide it from you, in fact, the assessment of whether you have reached the level of a human-level cleaner is to face the evil spirit alone and defeat it.

But I just found out yesterday that all the evil spirits in Jiangcheng have disappeared, and the preliminary judgment is that they were swept away.

But who it is, I don't have a clue for the time being, not only the childhood sweethearts and green bamboos didn't know, even the net weavers in Jiangcheng didn't notice the strangeness.

That's why I said that the content of the assessment is gone, because there are no evil spirits in Jiangcheng at all, how do you still assess? "

Jiang Li's expression was a little stiff.

Ah, is this still found?
"Then what. Leaving aside the assessment, there are no more evil spirits in Jiangcheng. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Jiang Li asked cautiously.

"It must have been a good thing in the past, but it can't be said to be good or bad in the present."

Zhang Xuanli sighed:
"There are definitely benefits, the ghosts in Jiangcheng are more stable.

But mere evil ghosts are not worth mentioning to Tianshi Mansion. They can be exterminated whenever they want, but it is reasonable to keep them until now.

The most important thing is to provide young people with the opportunity to sharpen themselves. For example, if you want to pass the assessment, these evil spirits are equivalent to your prey.

It can be said that these ghosts are specially reserved as stepping stones. Now that there are no evil spirits in Jiangcheng, I don’t know how long it will take for new evil spirits to be born. If there are cleaners to be assessed, then they have to go to the place where other branches are located. .

But because the cleaners in Jiangcheng are all registered in the branch of Tianshi Mansion, so borrowing evil spirits from other places has to give the local branch some benefits.

Let me explain to you in this way, the ghosts below are just tools. With our intervention, these evil ghosts can't hurt people, they are just like our captive livestock.

So the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, Jiangcheng's evil ghost reserve is now zero, just like there are no cattle and sheep in the pasture, which is a great loss for Tianshi Mansion.

And more importantly, we still don't know who did it. Do you remember those people you met in the underground palace?I am very suspicious now that this is their conspiracy. Although the purpose is temporarily unknown, many strange things have happened all over the country recently, which makes me have to think about it. "

Jiang Li's eyelids twitched when he heard this, these so-called ghost kings thought they were good at it, but they didn't know that in the eyes of immortal cultivators, they were just animals that purposely left a cheap life and kept them in captivity as sharpening tools.

Not to mention Jiang Li, the capitalists wanted to shed tears when they heard this.

Jiang Li originally wanted to pretend he didn't know, but seeing that Zhang Xuanli had already thought of those people in the Qinling Underground Palace, and that he planned to use these evil spirits in exchange for rewards, he would have to explain it sooner or later, so he hesitated , still opened his mouth:

"Then what, I think Daoist Zhang is thinking too much."

Zhang Xuanli shook his head: "When it comes to such an important matter, you can't think too much. You are still young. When you reach my age, you will know that if you don't make all the preparations in advance, you will easily suffer a lot. of."

Jiang Li coughed twice: "I think I might be able to give you some ideas."

"Oh?" Zhang Xuanli looked at Jiang Li with interest: "You have been living in the city these days, did you find anything?"

"Is there a possibility that a cleaner who doesn't want to leave his name wants to prepare in advance for rewards?" Jiang Li said seriously.

"Impossible, the mission has never been accepted."

Zhang Xuanli denied this possibility.

"Is there a possibility, maybe he is not qualified to accept human-level tasks yet?"

Jiang Li then asked.

Perhaps Jiang Li's hint was too obvious, even considered explicit, Zhang Xuanli suddenly realized something, showing shock.

"You don't want to say, this is what you did?"

Jiang Li scratched his face, looked embarrassed, and nodded embarrassedly: "Ang."

Seeing the disbelief on Zhang Xuanli's face, Jiang Li added: "It's the villa in Jiangxin District where I conducted the trial mission, and I gave it to the same pot, four evil ghosts."

Zhang Xuanli finally believed what Jiang Li said, and asked eagerly, "Where are those evil spirits?"

Jiang Li's expression was a little dazed, and he asked back: "You don't think I'm locked up, do you? It must be used for cultivation. The psychic devouring magic requires the use of ghosts."

Zhang Xuanli suddenly felt a little dizzy: "Then do you know that where there is a branch of cleaners, the task for the same evil spirit can only be accepted once, and the task requirements are all captured alive.

Because evil ghosts are very special, they are not as dangerous as Li Gui, who can be cleaned up whenever they can, and they are not as numerous as wandering spirits, who can be disposed of at will.

The evil spirits controlled by the alliance are very important resources and must be used repeatedly. Every time they are captured alive, they will be erased and thrown back for others to use. Now tell me, you have taken it all in one go? "

Jiang Li's heart trembled, what the hell is a capitalist?Compared with the alliance, he is at best a bully!
"I don't know, I'm not qualified to accept the mission, how can I know the mission requirements?"

Jiang Li was a little helpless, he didn't know why, since he got involved with the Tianshi Mansion, he always seemed to be able to take advantage of the Tianshi Mansion in different ways, even though this was not his original intention.

Zhang Xuanli saw Jiang Li's innocent face, and knew that it was useless to talk about it now.

But fortunately, this is not the conspiracy of that mysterious organization. Compared with this, there are only a few evil spirits, and the Tianshi Mansion is not bad. At worst, before the new evil spirits are born, the assessment should be placed elsewhere up.

Anyway, Tianshi Mansion is rich and powerful, and it is not short of money.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanli felt better, and picked up the teacup in front of him.

For the first time, he felt that Zhang Yin was pretty good, although he was not promising, but at least the Gu family didn't mess around outside.

"Forget it, since the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything. As for the assessment, after I go to the place you mentioned, if there is no problem, it will be considered passed."

Zhang Xuanli said calmly while drinking tea.

"Thank you Daoist Zhang. By the way, I was wrong just now. There are five evil ghosts, and one is about to grow into a fierce ghost. I will deal with it first."

Jiang Li suddenly added something.

Zhang Xuanli just drank the tea in his mouth and was sprayed out, and he didn't even have time to wipe off the water stains at the corners of his mouth, so he repeated in disbelief:
"Grow into a ghost soon?!"

Jiang Li nodded: "That's right, it's comparable to the evil spirit that seriously injured me back then, but this time it was easily resolved."

"easy?"

Zhang Xuanli was dizzy for a while: "during my absence, what else did you do to hide it from me?"

Jiang Li thought for a while: "Yes, there are indeed."

"Say!" Zhang Xuanli gritted his teeth.

"That evil spirit that is about to be promoted is very difficult to deal with. I blew up a building for it, but I think it's worth it." Jiang Li's eyes were firm.

Finally, Zhang Xuanli, who hadn't slept all night and was now very haggard, heard this sentence, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
