I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 27: People who live with evil spirits (Part )
"you sure?"

Li Yu walked out of the cabin and looked at the heavily guarded soldiers at the dock, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"The information is correct, but we can't be sure who it is." The voice of the painted spirit woman was cold. She followed behind Li Yu and was watched warily by Qin Fang.

"I don't understand." Li Yu looked at the dimly lit Beihai City across the street and said puzzledly, "The Yuchi family paid such a price, so they should be mortal enemies with that evil spirit. How can they coexist?"

"No one knows about this." The woman shook her head. "Ancient books record that anyone possessed by this evil spirit, no matter what their attitude or personality was beforehand, even if they are saints respected by the world, will definitely conspire with it. They will be sworn enemies one moment and become its lackeys the next. There is no exception."

"Could it be possession?" Qin Fang asked with a frown.

There are evil spirits in this world that can attach themselves to human bodies and take away their intelligence.

"Possession means completely taking over the other person's body, but this evil creature is different. The host of the symbiosis has absolutely retained his previous sanity and memory. We have also tested it and found that all the people who were parasitized have no difference in their previous memories and personalities. There is no flaw at all. After the evil spirit left, the host still survived. It is definitely not possession, and..."

"And what?" Li Yu turned around and asked curiously.

"And once the evil creature leaves, the host will frantically want to find it back, as if the parasitic evil spirit is the most precious treasure in the world."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Yu looked at the other party: "Did you try to force the question?"

"It's useless." The woman sighed and shook her head again. "We have tried many methods, but the people who have been possessed are unwilling to reveal the information about the monster. Even the cruelest torture cannot pry their mouths open. To this day, we still don't understand what the monster did to the host to make people so obsessed with it."

"Is that so?" Li Yu looked towards Beihai City again: "There is such a thing in this world. Qin Fang!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Let someone inform the other side that I will only give them one day. If the Yuchi family still cannot give an explanation before midnight tomorrow, I will take over Beihai City completely."

"Yes"

"Tell them to stop trapping that Long guy over there, and send someone over there and tell them that the king wants to see him!"
-
"Third Master, that Zhang guy obviously has ulterior motives!"

In a secret room in Yuchi's house, Yuchi Hong's face was frighteningly dark at this moment. If Mr. Luo San had not stopped him just now, he would have punished the county magistrate who spread rumors to mislead the people!
Mr. Luo Sanye's face also looked bad, but not as revealing as Yuchi Hong's. Instead, his eyes were thoughtful, as if he was recalling something.

"Third Master?" Yuchi Hong frowned. "You don't really believe that kid, do you? Do you really think that someone from my Yuchi family would conspire with that evil spirit?"

In the list, the people most likely to be possessed by evil spirits, besides his father, were his eldest brother and his mother, Yan, and then his third and fourth brothers.
No one could do such a cruel thing.

"But some things are right." Mr. Luo sighed.

"Third Master." Yuchi Hong spoke to Third Master Luo in a serious tone for the first time: "Do you also think that Father or Big Brother and the others are in collusion with the evil spirit?"

Not to mention the entire population of Beihai City, more than half of the people in Yuchi's family died, and they were all infected with the disease. The deaths were so tragic that even a tough soldier like me couldn't sleep for several nights after seeing them, let alone my own relatives.

Conspiring with evil means that that person has at least ignored the tragic deaths of more than half of the Yuchi family's children. He didn't believe that there would be such a beast in the Yuchi family, but he didn't expect that Mr. Luo San would actually show hesitation.

He has been in the Yuchi family for so long, and he has watched his eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother all grow up. Everyone can doubt except him.

"Calm down." Mr. Luo sighed.

"How can I stay calm if the Third Master is so suspicious?"

"I didn't believe it at first." Seeing that the other party's attitude was getting worse, Mr. Luo San knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, the child might become alienated. Now, the only one who can make the decision in the Yuchi family is the brave and careful second son.

"Originally?" Although Yuchi Hong seemed rude, he was actually a thoughtful person. He immediately realized the mystery in the other party's words.

"The county magistrate's words reminded me of some things that happened in the past."

"What happened in the past?" Yuchi Hong frowned, and his excitement calmed down a little. Mr. Luo San would not stand there for no reason, so let him hear the reason.

"In fact, your father and I have seen this evil spirit before."

"What??"
-
"Is what Lord Zhang said just now true?" After the people of Yuchi's family left angrily, the people of the Prince's Mansion surrounded and followed Zhang Rui. Unlike the Yuchi Mansion, they naturally would not completely trust their relatives like Yuchi Hong. In fact, they had already suspected that all the outsiders in Beihai City were dead. If it was really a sorcerer's trick, it could only come from within. However, the people in the Prince's Mansion knew everything about the matter, and there should not be a traitor. In their opinion, what Zhang Rui said just now was logical.

"If you gentlemen doubt me, then I am not suitable to stay here." Zhang Rui said with a cold face.

I have just offended the Yuchi family. If these people from the Prince's Mansion still have doubts about me, it would be safer for me to return to Fuchun and run away with my family as soon as possible than to stay here.

"Don't be offended, Lord Zhang." A middle-aged man in black clothes hurriedly comforted Zhang Rui to sit down. Zhang Rui glanced at the other person. Chen Xiao had secretly introduced him before he came. This man is the current chief of staff of the Prince's Mansion. He has a powerful background. He is the eldest son of a famous sorcerer family in the capital. His younger brother Lu Yuan is a rare genius in the Lu family in a century. It's a pity that Lu Yuan unfortunately died of illness some time ago. His brother Lu Sheng has become the head of the sorcerer staff team of the Prince's Mansion.

"But you just said that the host remained conscious after the evil spirit possessed him. In other words, the host knew that the monster in his body was harming the people around him, but he concealed it. There must be a reason, right? If it was a possession, it should have been discovered long ago."

"It's not possession." Zhang Rui shook his head: "It's cooperation. The monster has always had a cooperative relationship with the host."

"But the list is full of people from the Yuchi family." Chen Xiao also frowned and said, "Why would someone from his Yuchi family cooperate with the monster that almost wiped out the Yuchi family? Why would they betray the prince for a monster?"

"No one knows about this." Zhang Rui shook his head. "I only know that anyone possessed by this monster will basically obey its orders, but it is not a possession, so the person's previous personality and memory will not change."

"That's strange," Lu Sheng frowned. "If it's not a possession, then there must be a huge benefit. But what kind of benefit can make a person whose family has been destroyed cooperate with the evil spirit that killed his family?"

Zhang Rui shook his head: "The official doesn't know about this."

Everyone frowned and hesitated for a moment before one of the sorcerers broke the silence and said, "If Lord Zhang's intelligence is correct and someone in the Yuchi family is really an enemy, we must prepare for the worst."

Everyone's face suddenly became heavy. They naturally knew what the so-called worst-case scenario meant.

Yuchi Peng is the martial artist who is closest to a master in the world today, and is also a living military symbol in the hearts of the Beihai Army. If he is an opponent, it would be much more terrifying than facing Li Yu.

"If the opponent is Yuchi Peng, then we can only recall General Long."

Zhang Rui was immediately curious when he heard this: "I heard before I came here that General Long who is by the side of the Crown Prince is the eldest son of the former Marshal Long. Isn't he by the side of the Crown Prince now?"

Before Chen Xiao came, he introduced the situation at the Prince's Mansion to him. Since the Prince established the Mansion, all major forces have sent their most promising sons to curry favor with this most stable crown prince. For example, the Lu family sent Lu Yuan, the most talented son of the Lu family, and the eldest son Lu Sheng, while the Long family, the first duke family of the founding of the country, sent their eldest son: Long Cheng.

The Yingguo Duke Long's family has few descendants, and Long Cheng is the only son of this generation. After Long Shuai's death, he became the youngest duke of Dajin. His position is not low either. He is the third-rank general of Wuwei and the governor of Donghai.

The Long family is a rare thousand-year-old martial arts family. Long Cheng is extremely talented. He inherited the family's knowledge and became a half-step master before he was thirty years old. In the competition ten years ago, he defeated seven leaders in a row. He is also known as the person closest to the master, just like Yuchi Peng!
How could such a person not be by the Crown Prince's side when His Royal Highness was in such a critical situation?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still suffering from the epidemic, and General Long has been ordered to look for Mr. Tianji." Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment and told the other party this information. Although the origin of this Zhang man in front of him is mysterious, at least he seems to be on the side of the Crown Prince for the time being, so he still has to show at least some sincerity.

"Mr. Tianji." Zhang Rui's pupils shrank. Not only Zhang Rui, but also Murong Yunji behind him changed his expression.

"Does Lord Zhang know him?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.

Few people in the world know the name Mr. Tianji. It is only circulated among the elders of the great sorcerer families. How can Mr. Zhang, who is so young, know everything?

Zhang Rui had a strange look on his face. He naturally knew Mr. Tianji, a character in the scrapped manuscript. But judging by the years, the world in his scrapped manuscript might have existed thousands of years ago. It couldn't be that he was alive from that time, right?

As he was speaking, Lu Sheng's face suddenly changed, and then he opened his mouth wide and spit out a black crow in front of everyone!
Zhang Rui was stunned, and Chen Xiao beside him quickly explained: "This is a technique passed down from the ancestors of the Lu family. It can transmit messages over a hundred miles."

"Is it Long Cheng?" Several sorcerers from the Prince's Mansion nearby were excited when they saw the black crow. Compared to Zhang Rui, who had a mysterious origin, the people on Long Cheng's side were obviously more reliable.

"Yes." Lu Sheng coughed twice, opened the text message from Hei Ya's feet, and his face changed as soon as he opened it.

"But have you found it?" several people asked cautiously.

Mr. Tianji's whereabouts are hard to find, but if General Long can find him, with that man's legendary abilities, he might be able to resolve the situation.

Lu Sheng shook his head: "Mr. Tianji was not found, but the third prince Li Yu found Long Cheng and said he wanted to cooperate with us!"

Everyone: "."
