Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 120: A Committed Suicide
……

Clock Tower Magical Society.

The evil spirits that covered the horizon had already swallowed up the city, leaving only the golden barrier holding on to the last breath of this thousand-year-old capital.

But under the continuous attacks of countless undead armies day and night, the golden barrier could not hold out for much longer.

"Why, I took a nap and the undead have already reached the inner city?"

Lu Cheng's lazy voice broke the dullness in the watchtower.

"Who are you?" Li Yujian, who had never met Lu Cheng, looked at the young man who broke into their meeting with some dissatisfaction.

"You don't even recognize me? What a bumpkin." Lu Cheng yawned, walked to the table, sat down, and poured himself some tea.

"It tastes good." Lu Cheng looked at Ling Xi beside him.

Jasmine tea, I will never forget it wherever I go.

"Thank you." Ling Xi nodded and didn't say much to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng was not familiar with her identity.

"You..." Li Yujian got angry when he saw Lu Cheng's attitude, but before he could say anything, Zhu Meng and Han Ji helped to explain.

Coincidentally, a pharmacist in a white coat also hurried up and explained to everyone the effect of the Nine Nether Dew on the undead. Following closely, a man who wrapped himself tightly walked up slowly.

"Who are you?" Han Ji asked.

"Could it be the legendary Kamen Rider passing by?" Lu Cheng said.

The tightly wrapped man ignored Lu Cheng and continued the previous topic to explain to everyone Saran's plan regarding the ancient capital.

"We are willing to believe what you said, but why do you come to see us like this? Why don't you take off the mask?" Ling Xi asked.

"Because Bull Warrior never takes off his mask." Lu Cheng said slowly.

The mysterious man looked at Lu Cheng speechlessly, "Sorry, I'm not sure if there are any accomplices of Saran among the people present, or in other words, who is Saran among the people present!"

"..."

"Sarang? Me?" Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"You are not." said the mysterious man.

"Why?" Lu Cheng asked puzzledly.

"Why don't you doubt me? Do you look down on me?"

"..."

Seeing Lu Cheng arguing with the mysterious man for no apparent reason, Zhu Meng quickly stepped forward, covered his mouth, and signaled the mysterious man to continue explaining.

"I'll go get Fang Gu now, you guys come later."

After saying that, the mysterious man quickly left the watchtower.

Only then did Zhu Meng let go of Lu Cheng's mouth.

"Why don't you let me speak?" Lu Cheng looked unhappy.

"Don't you think this person is suspicious? The defense of the ancient capital has been going on for so long, and he knows so much, why didn't he say it earlier? Why did he come at this time, not earlier or later?"

"When you are at your wits' end, they suddenly throw you a life-saving straw, leaving you with no choice but to trust him. Isn't this a common tactic of the Black Church?"

“This…” Zhu Meng was speechless for a moment.

"But what is his purpose in doing this?" Ling Xi asked.

"Just for fun." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"..."

Zhu Meng's face was filled with black lines, and everyone who had been expecting Lu Cheng to have some profound remarks just a second ago was also speechless.

What's the reason?
"Isn't this reason enough?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Or do you think it doesn't make sense because it doesn't do him any good? Then let me ask you, what good does it do the Black Church, Saran, to make such a big fuss and take such a big risk to destroy the ancient capital?"

"Isn't she playing?"

"This……"

"Report! A body was found in the back alley on the south side!" A royal guard mage flew down from a high place.

"It seems to be the mysterious man just now!"

Everyone was horrified and hurriedly asked the royal mage to lead the way to the back alley to check the situation.

"This... is so outrageous!" Zhu Meng was furious.

Just when everyone was in despair because they had lost track of Fang Gu, the mysterious man walked out from the corner again.

"As I just said, among those present are Saran's accomplices or himself."

"You're not dead?" Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, feeling annoyed.

She was actually fooled!

"Just in case, I arranged for my men to pretend to be me and receive the message. The result is as you see." The mysterious man stepped forward.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the one lurking here is Saran himself."

As he spoke, the mysterious man turned toward Han Ji and bowed.

"President, please give the follow-up instructions."

Although Han Ji was shaken by Lu Cheng's words, he still tied up everyone present as planned.

"Didn't you say I'm not Saran?" Lu Cheng looked at the soul chains on his body speechlessly.

"Sorry, we really can't leave any hidden dangers." Han Ji said.

"If the catastrophe can be quelled, Han will apologize to everyone!"

"Apologize?" Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"I'm afraid we won't live to see that day, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people who were bound changed drastically.

"I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go." Lu Cheng looked around.

"Is this any different from the Black Church?"

Han Ji's face darkened slightly and he said nothing.

During this special period, he was helpless. …

On the watchtower, more than a dozen senior officials including Lu Cheng were surrounded by the Royal Guards Mages. If there was any unusual movement, they would be killed in an instant.

"I never thought that a high-level magician like me would be treated like this." Lu Cheng said cheerfully as he sat at the table, looking at the heavy rain.

"Aren't you nervous?" Ling Xi said.

"If this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid we will all die here."

She has a backup plan and can escape, but Lu Cheng may not be able to do that.

She didn't expect that Lu Cheng would come here at this time, or rather, it was like...

"It's obvious that someone wants to mess with me." Lu Cheng chuckled.

Liu Xian told him that when he was asleep, there were people monitoring the area around the hotel, and after he left the hotel, there were people following him all the way.

After arriving at the bell tower, both the pharmacist who reported and the mysterious man who came later were arranged by Han Ji. It was as if the scene was waiting for him, the final guest, to appear.

Obviously, he is the main suspect.

In other words, someone wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

But, who?
Han Ji had no grudge against him, and they didn't even know each other before. There was no reason for the old guy to target him, a high-level mage, at this time.

Could it be the Magic Palace? Or the Supreme Court?

Who had he offended without realizing it?
"Maybe we really are going to commit suicide here today." Lu Cheng looked at Ling Xi with some sadness.

"Suicide for love?" Ling Xi was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"Not necessarily."

"But I think committing suicide for love is also a good ending," said Lu Cheng.

"At least there's someone to keep you company, right?"

"..."

Zhu Meng looked at Lu Cheng with a strange expression as he inexplicably started talking about strange topics with Ling Xi.

"When did they get to know each other?" a hunter king from the Hunter Alliance asked puzzledly.

"It seems like it was just now." Chief Instructor Feijiao said.

"He drank the tea Lingxi brought, and then the two of them started chatting."

"Is that all the time?" Military Commander Lu Xu's eyes twitched.

No, it's only been a few minutes?

Are we talking about suicide for love?

And at a time like this, do you still have the time to talk about love?

"That's just his character." Zhu Meng was the calmest one.

I have seen what Lu Cheng did in Hangzhou before. He built an island in the sky and even moved the black snake up there. The biggest reason for doing that was for that woman named Tang Yue...

"He is the least suspicious among us," said Zhu Meng.

"Why?" Li Yujian asked puzzled.

In his opinion, Zhu Meng was the least suspicious.

"The space-related supernatural power is extremely rare. Even Saran cannot fake it." Zhu Meng said.

"Then why..." Chief Instructor Feijiao looked puzzled.

Since Lu Cheng is the least suspicious, why did he feel that the person Han Ji was focusing on just now was Lu Cheng?
Zhu Meng shook his head, "I can't figure it out either..."

When Han Ji gave the order to take action, the person he was most concerned about was Lu Cheng.

But why...

"By the way, are you all willing to wait for death?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked.

"The fake stand-in just now was obviously a show, right?"

"What do you mean?" Li Yujian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We are all suspects, but Han Ji is not?" Lu Cheng said.

"Don't you have any doubt that Han Ji is Saran?"

"The fake stand-in scene just now was obviously designed to make you willingly be imprisoned here while waiting for their investigation results."

"But do you think this result can be found?"

"The whole world has been looking for Saran for so many years, but there has never been any news. Now, they can find him? And can they be sure that Saran is here so easily?"

"Moreover, Han Ji is the boss here, and the gray-robed masked man is obviously his man. In other words, everything just now was controlled by Han Ji. Maybe even the so-called intelligence was fabricated by him."

"The purpose is to put all ten of you super-class mages under house arrest without any effort."

"Next, they might be planning to kill us all."

"..."

As Lu Cheng finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions.

The expressions of the royal mages guarding the surroundings also changed slightly.

"To be honest, if I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would really doubt that you are Saran." Zhu Meng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even he couldn't help but start to doubt Lu Cheng's inflammatory words.

This boy is indeed a psychic mage.

"I'm just speaking the truth." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"If everything is really as I said, Han Ji is the culprit. Are we, who have fought so hard, just going to wait for death?"

"..."

"What you said makes sense." Han Ji slowly walked out from the corner, and the gray-robed man also followed.

"But this is the decision of the Supreme Court. We have no choice."

"..."
