Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 111 Interrogation of the Little Demons

After the injuries of the three junior sisters were healed, the students gathered together to discuss the demon plague.

"I've always felt that there's something strange about this demon infestation, and there's something wrong with the townspeople," a student said. "And this is the first time I've seen so many demons gathered in one small town."

It is not easy for demons to practice cultivation, even more difficult than for monster beasts. Only those who are truly intelligent can be called demons, otherwise they can only be regarded as ordinary wild beasts. It is extremely difficult for demons to become intelligent, and most of them rely on luck, such as being born in a blessed place, or encountering some opportunity to eat special spiritual plants or treasures, etc. Among hundreds of thousands of beasts, not necessarily one can become a demon.

Therefore, there are actually very few monsters on the Lanru Continent, and even after monsters become intelligent, they generally retain the habits of beasts, so they rarely attack humans. The five major academies do not have any special prejudice against monsters, and they have all accepted students who practice monster cultivation.

Even their attitude towards the demon race was similar to that of ordinary casual cultivators, which was why they only captured the group of little demons instead of killing them on the spot.

"The demon-trapping formation is ready. Brother, you can release those little demons for interrogation." The student who practiced the formation winked at the student who was holding the demon-catching bag next to him.

The other party then opened the bag and made a gesture, and a white light flew out from it and fell into the formation.

The next moment, a rabbit appeared in front of him. The rabbit was snow-white and a lot bigger than an ordinary domestic rabbit. It seemed a little confused about the situation. It raised its head in confusion and looked over with red eyes, then let out a scream.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!! It's a human! How scary!" Its whole body shuddered, and it turned around and wanted to run, but it bumped into the magic circle on the right and was bounced back. When it looked up, it saw another person on the right, "Human! Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Then it turned around and crashed into the left side of the formation with a thud! It crashed left and right like this, successfully knocking itself unconscious.

The student who was setting up the formation: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Qiu Ci: “…”

No, you are so timid. Didn’t you just run away carrying someone in the temple?

Senior Brother Jiang sighed and said, "Let's change one."

They took the rabbit spirit back and replaced it with another one, but they found that these little spirits were terribly timid. Some of them fainted from fright, while others were so scared that they couldn't speak at all. In the end, they had to replace it with the spirit that had the most interactions with humans.

Coincidentally, it was that piece of wooden board that was the magic one.

The crack on the wooden board spirit's body had already grown halfway. As soon as it came out, it found Qiu Ci next to it, and the whole board stood up instantly, "Wife..."

slap~
Before it could finish its words, Feng Ting, who had been standing behind everyone, stepped forward and slapped it back to the ground with a slap. Her tone was terrifyingly cold, "Speak properly, understand?"

"Hmm..." Perhaps the psychological trauma of the crack was too great, it dared not cry out, and the whole board shook. "If you ask, Immortal, I will tell you everything I know."

Everyone: "..." Does Junior Sister Feng know how to interrogate people?
"Ahem... well, why are you little demons not training in the mountains? Why are you going to that temple? And why are you capturing people?" Senior Brother Jiang stepped forward and asked, "Where are all those people we captured earlier?"

"Before, we didn't catch anyone before?" The wooden spirit was stunned.

"What?" This answer was not only for Brother Jiang, but also for everyone else. "Those people who disappeared in the town before, weren't they caught by you?" "Of course not!" The wooden spirit patted the ground and said excitedly, "Last night was the first time I came to this town. We heard from other monsters that there was a wife to be picked up here, so we came here from afar. It took me several days to fly here." In the end, he didn't get his wife and was beaten up.

"What do you mean by taking a wife? Where did you hear that?"

"That's what everyone says!" the wooden spirit replied. "They say there's a temple in Luoyang Town that's giving out wives. We demons just have to go in and worship and we can take one home. Not only can we practice dual cultivation with her, but we can also kiss, hug, and lift her up high. We all want one, so we've all come here."

Everyone was speechless. Who on earth had spread such an outrageous rumor? And the key point was, these little demons actually believed it?!

"You all came here because of these rumors?"

"Yes."

"Then you know that it is a human temple. Even if it is true, the other party is also a human." Why are you monsters joining in the fun?

"It doesn't matter!" The wooden spirit said calmly, "It's difficult for us monsters to develop intelligence, and it's hard to meet our own kind. It's already very good to find a wife. I won't mind that she is not a piece of wood."

“…” No, you are still discussing whether you dislike it or not, right?
The students' faces darkened, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it made some sense.

Even Qiu Ci was stunned. It is very difficult for the demon race to awaken their intelligence, and it is even more difficult for two demons in the same race to awaken their intelligence at the same time. It is even more difficult if they happen to be of the opposite sex. It is really difficult for them to find a Taoist partner, especially a Taoist partner with whom they can communicate normally.

Suddenly I thought of the love stories between humans and demons that are circulated on Blue Star. Is it because there are no demons with the same intelligence that there are so many interracial legends?
The students carefully inquired about the origin of the rumor and released all the little demons to check, but unfortunately found that they did not know the source, let alone the purpose behind the rumor. The clues seemed to be broken here.

Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, Zhen Yi, who had been lost in thought, suddenly spoke up, "Senior Brother Jing, can you tell what kind of monster you were chasing earlier?"

Socially anxious Jing was stunned for a moment. He was not used to speaking in front of so many people. After a while, he finally squeezed out three words in a deep voice, "Weasel."

Feng Ting, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something and said in shock, "The yellow poisonous smoke in the temple was also released by a weasel demon."

Zhen Yi looked at the wooden spirit in the formation and asked, "Did that weasel come with you too?"

"Weasel?" The plank spirit was stunned and denied it. "No, all our companions are here. There is no weasel monster."

"Isn't it one of you?" The students were also shocked. "Could it be that the monster that escaped is the real culprit?"

"No wonder that one of the little demons was the strongest among all of them. It's a pity that it got away."

"What should we do? The weasel demon is very cunning, and after what happened last night, it will only hide deeper. How can we find it?"

"This question..." Zhen Yi suddenly smiled, as if confirming something, turned around and walked to the window, "Then we have to ask the woman that Senior Brother Jing rescued last night."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed open the window, then said to the figure who had just walked out of the inn downstairs, "Isn't that right? This... girl who is going to tip off the police."

The woman downstairs suddenly turned pale.
