No taboos

Chapter 167 The sky leaked

"Okay!" Shi Ba Ding figured out the key point and nodded immediately, saying, "Lord He will definitely agree with Brother Xu's idea."

Xu Yuan emphasized again: "I want the South City Patrol Office."

Shi Bading didn't know why Xu Yuan insisted on going to South City. If it were him, he would choose North City.

Most of the people living in the north city are the powerful and wealthy people of Champa, and most of them live in large houses.

These people's families already have strong security capabilities, so there are the fewest cases in North City, and working here is leisurely and comfortable.

"Okay." Shi Bading agreed, "I'll go to Lord He and vouch for Brother Xu."

I can't figure it out, but I just agreed to it anyway.

Xu Yuan then smiled, came out again, and instructed Di Youzhi and Jia Yi to interrogate those old ghosts and listen more to the instructions of Inspector Shi.

Shi Ba Ding seemed very motivated and issued four or five orders regarding the interrogation.

It really shows one's presence.

It is imperative that every captain present understands that Inspector Shi was truly involved in the Huangya Village case.

But in fact... these orders did not affect how Di Youzhi and Jia Yi interrogated the subjects at all.

It highlights the commander, but in fact there is no commander.

Xu Yuan didn't care about that and went back to his room and went to bed to rest.

At first, I thought that those old ghosts and countless young wives and girls in the village had made love on this bed, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

But he was soon relieved: If the Extermination Bureau was so pretentious while handling cases outside, it would cause many inconveniences in the future.

Besides, I have already cleared the fire in my stomach.

So I stopped thinking and fell asleep peacefully.

After a hard battle at the Pingtian Society's Juanshen Temple during the day, the effect of the dog-skin plaster had worn off and Xu Yuan was actually very tired.

I slept until dawn the next day.

As soon as the sun rose, Shi Bading sent all the captains out to arrest people all over the village.

Last night's interrogation of those old ghosts and Huang Chengwei revealed exactly which villagers had harmed the passing merchants.

Almost all the men in the village were present, and even half of the women had participated.

The truly innocent ones are basically children under the age of five or six.

After Xu Yuan woke up, Shi Bading handed him an almanac.

Today's ban:
Gossiping, chanting scriptures, walking at night, and eavesdropping.

Lang Xiaoba went to fetch water for the inspector to wash up, while Shi Bading described the general results of the interrogation last night: "These ghosts hide in Xiaoyu Mountain during the day, and come down the mountain at night to enjoy the offerings.

They don't come every day. If they come too often, the village won't be able to bear it.

About twice a month.”

Inspector Shi sighed again, "The village has such a large group of evil spirits. Over the years, more than a dozen people have transformed strangely."

"Though those naughty children in the village are innocent, I'm afraid their bodies and souls have long been infected by the Yin energy."

"What a sin..."

There are only about a hundred people in Huangya Village. Even if Xu Yuan did not bring people to destroy the village temple this time, in ten years or so, there would probably be no living people in the village.

By that time, they will probably spread to the surrounding villages, and the harm will be endless.

After Xu Yuan washed his face and mouth, he said to Qin Taichen, "Is this also the case with the temples in other villages?"

Qin Taichen shuddered and stammered, "Should, should... not be that serious, right?"

"Hmph!" Xu Yuan snorted coldly: "In the next few days, we will thoroughly investigate all the other villages!"

Qin Taichen can't become the village chief.

Xu Yuan doesn't need to take care of the finishing work in Huangya Village.

The Ming Dynasty had been mysterious for two hundred years, and had already developed a mature system for dealing with corresponding issues.

After the criminal was captured, a team was sent to escort the criminal and the innocent women and children back to the city.

The criminal was naturally executed immediately.

If these prisoners showed signs of deviance, the Exorcism Department could execute and burn them on the spot. Women and children were sent to special "orphanages."

Everyone inside has had contact with the weird.

The extent of the infection on the body is unknown.

This type of orphanage has high walls outside and special guards inside.

If anyone is found to be behaving strangely, they will be dealt with immediately.

Once inside, everyone is actually in a state of "mutual infection".

But the Extermination Bureau did give these innocent people inside a chance to get out.

The orphanage will provide some "medicine" on a regular basis.

If you can get in, you can get out.

There are indeed not many people who can come out.

There is nothing we can do about this.

It is said that the Imperial Observatory has a dedicated person responsible for researching how to accurately detect the degree of infection.

After decades, no results have been achieved.

……

Around 9:00 a.m., the team from the Extermination of Filth left Huangya Village.

Xu Yuan ordered Qin Taichen: "Move in new residents as soon as possible, otherwise this place will become a den of evil spirits."

Qin Taichen agreed, but everyone could see the difficulty on his face.

This place is close to Xiaoyu Mountain and there are evil spirits here. Who would be willing to move here?
Xu Yuan also knew that things were not easy to handle, but he had to give such an order.

The subsequent matters were not the responsibility of Inspection Officer Xu, and Xu Yuan would not really keep an eye on Qin Taichen and force him to do this well.

As the team passed through the village fields and was about to leave the village, the sky suddenly darkened rapidly.

It was like a dark cloud suddenly floated overhead, blocking the sunlight above.

Everyone subconsciously looked up, only to find a black spot the size of a pinhole appeared in the sky above their heads.

However, it cast a large black shadow on the ground, covering the entire Huangya Village and the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

The black spot did not expand, but the color continued to darken.

The area where this black shadow was cast on the ground quickly fell into darkness!
Qin Taichen was shocked and said, "Oh no, the sky is leaking!"

The entire Extermination Department appeared to be well-trained in the face of the sudden change.

Di Youzhi shouted, "Fire!"

All the alchemists raised their heads and released the fire in their stomachs.

Light up the surroundings with firelight.

They were in the fields of Huangya Village, surrounded by a network of canals used for irrigation.

In just a moment, evil spirits in the canals stirred up the water, which was thick, black, and strangely shaped, and pounced on all living things.

As soon as the fire appeared, these ghost creatures screamed in fear and hurriedly retreated into the canal to hide. However, they were unwilling to give up the bloody food that was about to reach their mouths, so they still hid in the water, drooling and peeking greedily.

The other captains took out torches and lit them.

The alchemy practitioners finally calmed down their anger.

Xu Yuan frowned: "The sky is leaking? What does that mean?"

Qin Taichen quickly said, "This kind of thing occasionally happens near Xiaoyu Mountain. It's hard to explain why this phenomenon occurs, it's like... the sky is like a mirror, and the light is shining through it.

Suddenly something pokes a hole in the mirror, and a large area of the earth is temporarily blocked from the sunlight."

Without light, it was like darkness at night, and evil spirits arose.

Qin Taichen trembled and said, "After the sky leaked, the darkness within was even more terrifying than an ordinary night..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone suddenly heard something talking behind them!

Whispering voices floated into my ears, as if telling me the news I wanted to know most.
