Chapter 3008 Headless Ghost!
Seeing this, Wang Yue and Dudu naturally wanted to go inside and take a look, since the mirror demon could only see inside the house through the mirror, and could only see outside by using magic.

However, given the unknown situation in the village, it might be inappropriate to rashly use sorcery.

So, Wang Yue and Dudu went into the village and were stunned by what they saw.

Headless corpses were everywhere, and they had been thrown out to people's doorsteps.

Moreover, the objects were scattered and disorganized, as if they had been carelessly discarded.

Dudu asked uncertainly, "Could it be that everyone here has been killed by Duan Yanqiu?"
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that bad.

If that were the case, Chu Youhuang should have found out long ago.

Wang Yue said somewhat uncertainly, "Dudu, it's probably the work of a ghost, because I can already sense some familiar aura."

Wang Yue was familiar with it because when he first transmigrated to this world, he happened to encounter a starving ghost, and the smell in this space was similar to that of a starving ghost.

After being reminded by Wang Yue, Dudu naturally thought of the ghost, so her demonic power surged forth, constantly searching every corner.

Where is my head?

Just as they were slowly searching, a leisurely voice suddenly came over.

Wang Yue immediately saw a headless male ghost float over, and the voice was coming from inside its stomach.

Seeing this, Wang Yue said speechlessly, "You can't even find your own head, so why are you asking us?"

Enraged by these words, the headless ghost instantly surged with black energy and lunged at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue learned a lot of magic from Dudu about the Eternal Night Galaxy World, and this was a good opportunity to test it out.

Wang Yue quickly formed hand seals, which were none other than the legendary Thunder Talisman!

The headless ghost was also very fierce. After sensing the threat, several ghosts suddenly darted out and fled in all directions.

And each of those ghosts was headless!
Such an escape method is difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but unfortunately they ran into Wang Yue and Dudu.

Dudu used magic to keep the ghost in place, so Wang Yue only needed to unleash his full power.

The ghosts, which had originally been scattered into several parts, simply vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a large ball of white light.

Wang Yue was very familiar with these lights; weren't they the essences of these ghosts?
He quickly began to absorb it, and the rich essence forced Wang Yue to break through to the mid-stage of the Earth Rank!

Seeing that Wang Yue had advanced again, Dudu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Your breakthroughs are quite rapid, but each one requires such pure essence, which is somewhat unfriendly to demons and monsters."

Wang Yue laughed and said, "What's the big deal? I'm not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. As long as those ghosts and monsters don't do evil, I won't care about them."

Dudu didn't comment on Wang Yue's words, so she simply changed the subject and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Wang Yue said with a smile, "Of course we'll arrange for someone to report it to the authorities. So many people have died here; we need to investigate thoroughly."

……

Nanyang City is a large city, but the news of such a major incident at Duan Family Manor spread quickly throughout the entire city.

Duan Yanqiu's affair could no longer be kept secret, but the final result was merely his dismissal.

Wang Yue was still debating whether or not to take revenge, but this would mean a complete break with his junior sister, Duan Banxia.

Just as Wang Yue was struggling with his decision, Dudu seemed to see through his thoughts and said very seriously,

"Actually, you don't need to kill him; he's about to die!"

Wang Yue was somewhat suspicious. "Why? He's the second-in-command in Nanyang City. It wouldn't be easy for anyone to kill him."

Dudu didn't answer the question, but simply reached out and beckoned, and a white bird suddenly landed on her hand.

"Because the mirror demons in this world have a companion demon, which is this kind of bird. After Chi Wangchuan died, this bird established a connection with me."

Whenever someone dies, this bird will land on them!

Wang Yue was surprised that the Mirror Demon had an additional means of predicting people's deaths. He was very curious and decided to go to the mansion to check it out.

When Duan Banxia learned that Wang Yue and Dudu were visiting at the Duan family home, she warmly welcomed them. However, before they could even sit down, Tingzhou rushed in.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! The young master has been killed by a puppet!"

Duan Banxia was startled and quickly stood up, asking excitedly,

"When did it happen?"

Tingzhou said excitedly, "Just now, the eldest young master's servant said that the master and madam have already rushed over."

Duan Banxia was now anxious. Forgetting about her luggage, she walked out while saying to Wang Yue, "..."

"Senior brother, I'll go take a look first."

Wang Yue also wanted to see what kind of puppet would kill this person who was bewitched by a demon and even wanted to kill him.
"Let's go with you. A puppet killing someone—it sounds a bit creepy!"

Duan Banxia then realized what was happening and hurriedly said excitedly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother!"

……

Now they arrived at Songzhu Garden, where a large crowd had already gathered outside. As soon as Duan Banxia walked in, the others quickly made way for her.

Duan Banxia called out from a distance, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Uncle Duan, having lost his son in his old age, was naturally devastated; his eyes were red-rimmed. But when he saw Banxia, ​​he suddenly became emotional.
"Banxia, ​​I heard that you seem to have learned some mystical arts. I wonder if you can see anything about them?"

Your older brother died inexplicably in the house. What happened?

Duan Banxia was about to say something when she suddenly noticed something strange about the wooden puppets lying around the room. She immediately turned to look at Wang Yue and asked,
"Senior brother, something's not right with that puppet. Do you think it's become a demon?"

As soon as Wang Yue entered, he noticed this thing. He quickly went over and examined it carefully. As a result, he could indeed faintly detect some demonic energy!
Wang Yue turned to look at Dudu and asked, "Dudu, I feel there's a demonic aura inside the puppet. Can you catch it and interrogate it?"

Without saying a word, Dudu directly used magic to imprison the monster.

The spirit formed from the puppet had originally planned to hide on a small piece of wood, but it didn't expect this to happen. It immediately took control of its body and tried to escape.

But the mirror demon's control was not so easy to escape, and it immediately began to struggle violently.

"Ah~!"

Uncle Duan, his wife, and the servants in the courtyard gasped in surprise at the sight.

Uncle Duan was a more composed person, and he recovered quickly. He then spoke seriously to Duan Banxia.

"Is this puppet really a monster?"

Duan Banxia was unsure, so she could only look at Wang Yue with pleading eyes.

Wang Yue sighed and said, "Duan Yanqiu really likes Qu Manniang too much. He fantasizes about making a puppet just like Qu Manniang to keep him company."

But the puppet, because of his persistent obsession, had turned into a monster.

Normally, a newly formed demon like this wouldn't be able to kill a human, but Duan Yanqiu mistook it for the real Qu Manniang, which is why it was killed.

What Wang Yue said was too outlandish for Uncle Duan to completely believe. He asked, conflicted,
What evidence do you have for this?

Wang Yue quickly drew a talisman and suddenly struck it in a corner where the light couldn't reach, making it look slightly eerie.

No one had noticed that corner before, but after Wang Yue cast his spell, a phantom appeared in that corner.

"Qiu'er!"

Aunt Duan cried out almost instinctively.

Although Uncle Duan didn't shout it out, he took a few more steps in that direction and said with some surprise,

"Yan Qiu, is that you?"

Duan Yanqiu's soul never expected to appear before everyone. He said excitedly, "Father, Mother! Your son is unfilial and can no longer serve you."

Uncle Duan asked excitedly, "Yan Qiu, what happened? Why were you killed by the puppet?"

Uncle Duan still didn't quite believe Wang Yue's words; he wanted to hear his son say it himself.

Duan Yanqiu had been listening in that corner the whole time, and of course he understood his father's thoughts. He looked at Wang Yue with shame, and then helplessly recounted the circumstances of his death, which were actually similar to Wang Yue's assessment.

After hearing this, Aunt Duan complained, "Yanqiu, how could you be so foolish? That woman's background wasn't good to begin with, let alone that she's a monster."

You've risked your life now, what am I supposed to do now?"

As she spoke, she noticed the puppet, and as if struck by a sudden realization, she exclaimed excitedly,

"Immortal Master, since my son's soul is still here, is it possible to revive him?"

Upon hearing these words, Duan Yanqiu's soul also looked at Wang Yue excitedly, wanting to be resurrected as well.

Wang Yue shook his head and said helplessly, "People can't be brought back to life. Duan Yanqiu's soul can't go back after he died!"

Aunt Duan hadn't expected this. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she still pleaded.

"Since this puppet's body can move, can I put the soul I'm playing into the puppet?"

Wang Yue didn't have that ability. He looked at Dudu, wanting to ask if he could do it.

Dudu decisively broke the name that had been born on the puppet, and then placed the soul on the puppet. As the black and white energy slowly condensed, the soul actually became fixed on the puppet.

After Dudu finished, she said with a smile, "Okay, now his soul is settled in the puppet. But doing this will make his reincarnation very difficult."

Furthermore, you shouldn't have too much contact with him. After all, he's very ghostly now, and too much contact with him will be bad for your health.

After hearing this, Wang Yue added, "It's also best not to let anyone else know, in case it encounters a demon hunter, they might mistake it for a monster and kill it."

Duan Yanqiu's uncle and aunt readily agreed, but clearly didn't take it to heart.

Before leaving, Wang Yue and Dudu gave Duan Banxia some instructions, telling him to keep an eye on Duan Yanqiu and make sure he didn't kill anyone.

After hearing this, Duan Banxia asked somewhat excitedly, "Why? What will happen if he kills someone?"

Wang Yue turned to look at Duan Banxia and said very seriously, "Then he will become a demon, and with this puppet as a vessel for him, you may not be able to deal with him."

Duan Banxia was quite alarmed by what she heard. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.
"Could you give me a few amulets? I'll leave these for my uncle and aunt. I want to go back to Huanzhou with my father!"

Wang Yue didn't know why Duan Banxia made this decision, but since Duan Yanqiu wanted to harm him for the sake of a monster, he certainly couldn't give Duan Yanqiu too much thought.

However, Wang Yue still left behind a few talismans because he knew very well that Duan Yanqiu's parents would not use these talismans!

In fact, that's exactly how it is!
Wang Yue and Dudu traveled around and, less than two months later, finally returned to Guangping City. Unexpectedly, they saw Duan Banxia at Fushan Hall.

As soon as Jiu Xuanye saw Wang Yue, he complained, "Your junior sister has been here for almost half a month, and she won't tell me what's wrong when I ask her."

Seeing Duan Banxia's anxious expression, Wang Yue asked uncertainly,
"Your brother's scandal broke?"

Wang Yue was actually thinking that as long as Duan Yanqiu dared to kill someone, he could step in to subdue the demon.

Duan Banxia shook her head and said excitedly, "No, my brother has disappeared. I don't know where he went."

Wang Yue hadn't expected that Duan Yanqiu had simply run away. He didn't know what Duan Yanqiu was planning to do. He desperately wanted to find Duan Yanqiu, so he asked seriously.

"He ran away? Where did he go? What happened before he disappeared?"

Before Duan Banxia arrived, she had inquired about everything and explained it to her in great detail.

After listening, Wang Yue grasped the key point and immediately pressed for more information.

"A black cat? Are you sure your brother had a black cat? Where did the cat go when your brother disappeared?"

Duan Banxia shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it since. I also suspect that the cat might be a monster that kidnapped my brother."

Wang Yue thought so too. He frowned and said, "How could this be? Did you come to Guangping City to ask for my help, or to track down the cat's location?"

Duan Banxia quickly said, "I asked around and confirmed that the cat ran this way, but I didn't encounter the puppet or the cat at all after entering the city."

After hearing this, Wang Yue immediately looked at Jiu Xuanye and said, "Brother Jiu, do you know where there are cat demons around here?"

Jiu Xuanye said uncertainly without much hesitation, "I heard that there is a Reunion Inn a hundred miles outside Guangping City. Someone saw a black cat demon near that inn."

"Why don't we go there? Maybe we'll find some useful information!"

Wang Yue, of course, did not refuse. He, Duan Banxia, ​​Dudu, Jiu Xuanye, and the other two arrived at the Reunion Inn. As for Chi Xue, she was left behind to look after the place.

……

Reunion Inn
After Wang Yue and his group settled into the inn, they found the innkeeper, Feng Tian.

"Shopkeeper, have you seen a black cat around here?"

Feng Tian's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself not to panic and asked in a low voice, "There seem to be many in the Black Cat Forest. Which one are you talking about?"

Seeing Feng Tian's response, Wang Yue decided not to reveal that it was a monster, so he simply stopped asking and the group began to wander aimlessly through the dense forest.

However, the forests in ancient times were very large, making it impossible to find anyone. Wang Yue felt helpless and could only go back and search slowly.

When the group returned, they made an unexpected discovery.

After the waiter left, Dudu said very seriously,

"The waiter we just saw was in a similar situation to the puppet Duan Yanqiu made back then; they've both turned into monsters!"

Wang Yue's expression immediately changed, and he said seriously, "Could it be that Duan Yanqiu ran here because he knew there was a puppet demon here?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Banxia excitedly exclaimed, "Is that really possible? Could it be that he's staying at this inn?"

Jiu Xuanye said with a smile, "We'll start looking around the inn tomorrow. Maybe we can actually find your brother."

After discussing it, the group started looking for Duan Yanqiu the next day.

However, Wang Yue and Dudu secretly checked all the inn rooms but unexpectedly did not find Duan Yanqiu, which aroused their suspicion.

When the three of them returned, feeling dejected, they discovered that Duan Banxia was missing.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yue simply went directly to Feng Tian and arrested him.

Feng Tian was still a bit dazed when he was arrested. He asked in confusion,

"I really don't know where the black cat you're talking about is. Gentlemen, please don't make things difficult for me."

Before Wang Yue could speak, Jiu Xuanye snorted coldly and said, "Our friend has gone missing in your inn. If you don't hand him over, we'll tear your inn down."

Feng Tian was shocked to hear this. He immediately said, "I really don't know. How about this, I'll call my son Qingshan over and ask him if he knows?"

Of course, Jiu Xuanye couldn't let Feng Tian go. He said very seriously, "Fine, I'll call your son over."

After he finished speaking, he went out for a short while and then called over another male puppet.

When Feng Qingshan heard that his father had summoned him for something, he followed him almost without hesitation. However, as soon as he entered the door and saw that his father had been arrested, he immediately flew into a rage and wanted to take action.

After Wang Yue and the others entered the house, they noticed Feng Qingshan's impending outburst and immediately stuck a talisman on Feng Qingshan's body.

This is a freezing charm that can freeze a person or a monster in one place for a quarter of an hour.

Feng Tian, ​​of course, also noticed that his son had been captured at the first glance. Knowing that his son and daughter were no match for this group, he immediately asked sternly,

"Qingshan, have you seen their companions? Their companions have disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingshan understood why this group was making things difficult for them, and he quickly said...
"I really don't know, but I remember Miss Duan went to the hot springs. Is she still there?"
