Alien Dust

Chapter 309 Get used to each other first

Ruan Muhan smelled the aroma of wine and picked up the small wine glass.

After taking a sip, the cool and refreshing taste slowly moistens the throat, leaving a light fruity sweetness on the tip of the tongue, like autumn peach.

"Peach wine?" Ruan Muhan asked.

"We encountered some monkey monsters on the way. After killing them all, we got these peach wines. How does it taste?" Wu Hen said.

Is it sweet?
Is it as sweet as first love?
"Average." Ruan Muhan commented calmly, "Do you have a deep understanding of the demon race?"

"I spent three years battling with them, and also discussing doctrines with some demon saints and demon kings. It is absolutely impossible for them to transform into human forms because they think the human form is more noble, and it is impossible for them to risk thousands of years of cultivation to have a passionate love affair with humans. The only purpose of their transformation into humans is to walk in the human territory, to enjoy eating humans, and to practice by eating humans." Wu Hen said.

Ruan Muhan nodded, she agreed with this statement.

It is impossible to judge whether demons are good or evil, but kind demons will not run to human territory.

"So where do you think these monsters are hiding?" Ruan Muhan also asked seriously.

"We can analyze it this way. If you and I are demons and want to steal the bones of our ancestors, what should we do first?" Wu Hen began to sort out the demons' ideas for Ruan Muhan.

"Of course, we should hide in Wudu first." Ruan Muhan said.

"But they live deep in the mountains, and the entire Zhenwu Continent hates people who are possessed by evil spirits. If they behave out of the ordinary, they will definitely be targeted. How can they quickly integrate into human society and how can they ensure that they are not discovered?" Wu Hen asked.

"Join the help of those fellow demons who have been living among the human race for many years." Ruan Muhan said following Wu Hen's thoughts.

After saying this, Ruan Muchan immediately had an idea in his mind.

There are cases of demons eating people in Wudu every month. Some of the cases have been solved, but some have disappeared without a trace.

In other words, by finding out the past cases of demons eating people and determining a range where they frequently occur, we can use this information to infer where the demons have been hiding and gathering in the past.

The group of monsters that stole the ancestors' monster bones were most likely hiding in the homes of these old monsters. Otherwise, Wudu would have been sealed off and searched for several days. All unidentified people had been checked, but none were found. It was obvious that they had already prepared a hiding place, and this hiding place was destined to have been in Wudu for some years.

"Among the thirty-two city areas, we will focus our investigation on the area with the most missing persons recently," Wu Hen said.

"We should also investigate those who are possessed by evil spirits, right?" Gu Luoshui added.

Ruan Muhan shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be used as a reference. The nature of the demons is to eat people. If they are old demons that have been hiding for a long time, they will orderly eat a few lower-class people that our Wuting doesn't care about every month. The lower-class people starved to death, froze to death, died in the struggle for interests, and died from bullying. It is difficult to count and most of them will not be investigated. But the number of missing people is a very clear reference. Those who were eaten by the demons must be missing people."

"I understand. I'll go and investigate the case right away!" Gu Luoshui nodded, ready to take the initiative.

In fact, Gu Luoshui also wanted to work under the Lady of Zhenbei. Receiving visitors from other worlds was too boring and had no future.

Ruan Muhan nodded, obviously trusting Gu Luoshui.

After Gu Luoshui left, only Wu Hen and she were left in the wooden attic.

Ruan Muhan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this stranger knew a lot about the demon race, and was also willing to help him investigate the matter...

"The scope of the trades they engage in can also be narrowed down. The monsters are incapable of doing jobs that require long-term contact and communication with people. Restaurants, brothels, large shops, and alliances with large numbers of people... can basically be ruled out." Wu Hen said.

"Some old monsters can still disguise themselves very well and look no different from humans," said Ruan Muhan.

"The old monsters can do it, but the new monsters can't. Stealing the monster god's ancestral bones requires cooperation from all aspects, sneaking in, scouting the area, finding the right time, checking the defenses, observing the rain and wind direction, and how to escape and hide after the success. This has obviously been planned for a long time, not to mention that they specially chose the day of the night banquet." Wu Hen said

"Well, we can't even rule out the possibility that humans are assisting them." Ruan Muhan nodded.

Wu Hen showed a look of surprise.

That's exactly what he's going to say next.

I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a while, Hanhan became smarter. In the past, she never thought about the problems she encountered and just did what I said.

"So we can also check which family frequently purchases domestic slaves. The disappearance of domestic slaves will not be counted, and their life and death are ultimately decided by the family. It is not ruled out that some families purchase human slaves to feed and offer to the demon clan, to provide convenience for the demon clan." Wu Hen said.

"Since it's related to the Wu clan, I have to investigate it myself, which will take some time." Ruan Muhan said.

There are many powerful families in Wudu in seven days. If she wants to investigate them, she will inevitably encounter obstruction from all sides. After all, when Ruan Muhan became the Queen of Zhenbei, there were already a huge number of forces opposing her. After she made enemies with them a few years ago, investigating them would be considered as taking advantage of the situation.

"If you trust me, I can accompany you to take a look. Just let me use my senses to search and I will know the general situation in the name of a visit." Wu Hen said.

"Even if God Du Wu doesn't prove it for you, you are still highly suspected." Ruan Muhan said.

"So it's up to you to decide." Wu Hen said.

Ruan Muhan's gaze fell on the vast Wudu City. Even the quite distinguished Wu clans, there were hundreds of them in Wudu. They had a deep background and were not on good terms with her. They had seven days to find the demon bone. Naturally, she saw the final result.

"Okay." Ruan Muhan finally agreed to Wu Hen's request.

"Why do you trust me all of a sudden?" Wu Hen only made a suggestion, but he didn't expect her to fall into the trap so quickly. He thought that Lady Zhenbei had already developed the temperament of keeping people at a distance.

"If you are innocent, it would be a good thing if you are willing to help me."

"If you were a demon, I would be confident that I could see through you if I brought you with me."

Ruan Muhan expressed his opinion.

Wu Hen laughed.

I've been waiting here for the past few days, and it's working without being too hasty.

Whether you are dealing with an old lover or a stranger, the best way to win the other person's favor and trust is not to ask about their well-being or engage in empty chat, but to do something together.

During that period of accumulation, Wu Hen didn't actually talk about anything romantic with Ruan Muhan. They just kept moving forward every day, and in the fulfillment they got used to each other's presence, and habit naturally led to the formation of feelings.

Wu Hen did not take the initiative to look for Ruan Muhan because he knew very well that doing so would arouse others' guard.

With a layer of defense in place, the difficulty of further communication will increase significantly.

Therefore, no matter how excited he was after seeing Ruan Muhan, Wu Hen did nothing these days and waited patiently for such a natural opportunity to have a conversation.

"Du Mao has always been unreliable. If I count on him to clear my suspicion, I'm afraid I'll have to be a guest in your Wu Court for the rest of my life." Wu Hen said.

Ruan Muhan didn't say anything else, but was a little surprised why this person was so brave to call the God of War directly.

"By the way, is he dead? I asked about it on the first day I set foot in your Zhenwu Continent, but most people in the world have never heard of his deeds, so I had no choice but to come to Wu Ting, hoping that your Wu Ting can tell me about his situation." Wu Hen added.

Du Mao, ah, Du Mao!
How come you don't even have a name anymore?

Didn't we agree that after leaving the world of scrolls together, we would make a name for ourselves and come back as kings to take back everything you lost? You were so ambitious, but in the end, you ended up losing everything.

"I have no right to know." Ruan Muhan replied.

"Oh, then he is your God of War. He didn't brag in front of me, right?" Wu Hen continued.

"I guess so." Ruan Muhan nodded.

"Being kicked out for flirting with other Valkyries?" Wu Hen asked.

Ruan Muhan didn't know what to say.

She asked the rotating Martial God, but he did not elaborate.

If the person in front of them was really a friend that the God of War Du Mao met during his travels to other worlds, then they would indeed treat him as a guest of honor.

Regarding the matter of the God of War Du Mao, Ruan Muhan only knew about it because she, as the Queen of Zhenbei, had seen the mural of this God of War, but she was not sure where this God of War was or where he was in charge.

"My lady, the civil servants have sorted out the documents. The number of missing persons in the 24th city-region has increased this year, and the number of missing persons in several neighboring city-regions is also much higher than in previous years. In addition, my subordinates have checked the local gangs and alliances and found that the city forces have fought each other many times, and there are not a few casualties." Gu Luoshui came hurriedly and presented the statistical documents.

Wu Hen frowned.

Does this Wudu civil servant also have a computer? How did he compile the data in such a short time? Gu Luoshui had just left for a while, and he hadn't been alone with Hanhan for long.

"Which military families are there in the twenty-four cities?" Ruan Muhan asked.

"I know this. The families that are relatively close to our Wu Ting are the Duan family, the Yueyun family, the Xiashan family..." said Gu Luoshui.

"Then let's visit the Duan family first." Ruan Muhan said.

"Ah?" Gu Luoshui suspected that he had heard it wrong, and then whispered, "The Duan family is the clan of Duan Wushen."

"It's just a visit, not a house search." Wu Hen said.

"Yeah." Ruan Muhan nodded and set off.

The two men left the wooden attic and walked forward while talking about the demon tribe. They occasionally exchanged glances and even walked side by side.

Gu Luoshui was behind him, looking confused.

"Is he going to investigate with us?" Gu Luoshui quickly followed and pointed at Wu Hen.

"Yes, you can come too." Ruan Muhan said to Gu Luoshui.

Gu Luoshui stood there for a while, his eyes full of confusion.

I was away for just a while, how did this abominable guy deceive Lady Zhenbei with his eloquence? ?

No, Sister Wu Nujun, this evil man has improper intentions towards you and wants you to dance for him!
