Chapter 171 Everything is under control (Subscribe)
Lin Xi arrived at Tianji Star 8 hours ago according to the instructions of the Alien Management Bureau.

But for the next eight hours, her body was still in a paralyzed state, and she was given a small injection of anesthetic from time to time.

Everything in front of her eyes was dark, her body and limbs could not move at all, and her five senses were probably blocked by someone's true energy.

However, Lin Xi was gifted with mental strength, and even in this state, he could sense the situation outside.

She sensed two people talking next to her.

"What should we do now? It's already so late. She's been here for eight hours now. I've temporarily sealed her consciousness, but it can't last long. She might complain to the Administration."

"You can complain if you want. There's nothing we can do in this situation. The original owner has been eaten. Now there are three demons in and around this boudoir alone. This Zhou family is simply a den of demons. Now we can only wait until the right opportunity to place her there."

Lin Xi was stunned when she heard this. She guessed that the two people around her were staff members of the Alien Management Bureau, who were responsible for placing her alien.

But what does it mean that the original owner was eaten? The woman he was going to replace has been eaten by the demon?
Lin Xi suddenly felt a chill in his heart and his hair stood on end.

"No! I mean, leaving her here now is a crime, right? She will definitely be eaten. There is no chance of survival. This girl must have offended someone in the company. I don't know who stuffed her here. It's so cruel. Most likely they deliberately let her die."

"This has nothing to do with us. We are only responsible for sending people down to replace their identities. We have also issued a risk warning. Perhaps other companies need this identity and think the risk here is not a big deal."

Lin Xi's mood sank slightly.

She had indeed seen the risk warning from the Alien Administration.

For a lieutenant-level martial artist like her, the risk index of the environment around Wangcheng County is S-, and the risk index of her alien identity is (unknown).

Generally speaking, the word "unknown" is because the Alien Management Bureau is unable to accurately detect it for some reason.

The Alien Management Bureau generally does not list such identities with unknown risks in the database unless they are of extremely great value.

Lin Rui also highlighted this identity for her and left a special message, saying that this identity has very low risks and huge benefits.

So what is going on with the Zhou family?

These two people said that there were three demons inside and outside the boudoir, so what was the situation of the entire Zhou family?
At this time, Lin Xi received a message from Lin Ruifa.

Lone Shadow Tiandao (Lin Rui): Sister, are you awake?
Lone Shadow Tiandao (Lin Rui): I have a rough understanding of your situation. It seems that there was a small problem when you arrived. The girl you want to replace has been eaten by a demon. The people from the Alien Body Management Bureau gave you a few injections of anesthetic to prevent you from seeing their figures and faces and revealing their identities. They said the dosage is very small and will not affect your mind, so don't be nervous, it's not a big deal.

When Lin Xi saw the news about her brother, she was so moved that she wanted to cry.

Lin Rui finally thought of her.

Not only is she now anesthetized, she is also unable to effectively control the quantum communication chip and has been unable to send messages to her brother.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): After you wake up, you will find that the situation of the Zhou family may be a little wrong, but it’s okay, the risk over there is actually very low. After you wake up and see my message, don’t worry and stay there, I guarantee you will be fine.

Lin Xi was a little confused after reading it. Does Lin Rui really understand the Zhou family?
What's a small matter? The girl she was supposed to replace had already been eaten!
At this moment, she heard someone sighing, "The situation in Wangcheng County is becoming increasingly chaotic. Cases like the Zhou family's would have been wiped out by the government within three days, but now the government is turning a blind eye."

"Oh! You're overthinking it. The situation within the Zhou family is not simple. As the county magistrate, don't you know that? He's unwilling to touch it! As for the situation in Wangcheng, there's nothing we can do. The Imperial City Division in Wangcheng hasn't recovered yet. The county soldiers have been stationed outside the city along the riverbank. Only the county magistrate and the county magistrate, plus a group of constables, are inside the city. It's already very good that they can maintain the current situation, but the situation should gradually improve in the future."

"That new Wangcheng Town garrison commander is a formidable figure. He's barely taken office, and he's already completely stymied the county governor. He's also gone after Yuan Ji and the eunuch supervising the Jinggang Maritime Customs. He's aggressively recruiting troops in the city right now, and his power is gradually growing. He's sure to make some moves soon. Oh, and didn't he kill a super-king-level, fifth-level ice claw demon a few days ago? He even brought back the remains of several fifth-level demons, forcing the county government to give him a reward."

Lin Xi was stunned again when he heard this.

The serum Wang Sen brought back was also said to have come from a fifth-level super-king demon? Like the Ice Claw Demon, it was primarily ice-based, with some water and wind elements. Was this a coincidence?
"What a pity for Yuanji! I heard his true identity is a different-body walker? That lackey of the Imperial City Bureau has killed another of our compatriots and also taken away Yuanji's vast fortune."

"Hmm? That fourth-level demon has left temporarily. Let's get her to her boudoir now. Before that demon comes back, quickly—"

Four realms of demons?

Lin Xi's heart tightened. Are these two guys really planning to throw her into the devil's den?

Not long after, Lin Xi finally regained control of his body.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in an antique, quiet and elegant boudoir.

Under Lin Xi was an extremely exquisite step-out bed, covered with silk curtains that looked like clouds and water. Outside, red candles were lit with tear marks, and the warm yellow light sprinkled on the intricately carved mahogany furniture in the room, creating a hint of golden light.

She blinked her eyes, then jumped up from the bed with a "swoosh", picked up a sword hanging in front of the bed, reached into the jewelry box next to her and took out another sword, then walked out like a meteor.

Lin Xi had just heard from those two people that there was a fourth-level demon in her boudoir and it might return soon.

Lin Xi's keen perception also made him clearly feel that there was indeed a sinister aura in the building.

Just as she walked out of her boudoir and reached the stairs of the three-story attic, she saw two heads popping up from below.

They were two maids, both about sixteen years old. Their faces were painted pale with powder, and their eyes were full of surprise. "Miss?"

Lin Xi's heart sank. Not only did she feel a strong demonic aura from these two people, she also saw faint traces of blood at the corners of their lips.

She also thought about what the two Alien Management Bureau staff members had just said, that there were three demons in this boudoir.

Without hesitation, Lin Xi jumped out of the window and out of the building. Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): Brother, is your alter ego in Wangcheng? My situation here is very dangerous, I might be eaten by a demon!
Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): Wake up? The replacement is complete, right?

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): How can it be that serious? Don't worry, just stay over there. I have the situation under control. It's not a big deal.

Lin Xi's face darkened slightly.

If Lin Rui hadn't spent tens of millions on her alien body and now had extremely high martial arts skills, and could kill her with one sword, Lin Xi would have suspected that Lin Rui was really possessed by the Tianji alien and was deliberately setting up a trap to trick her.

Lin Xi didn't dare to stay here any longer. When she jumped out of the window just now, she had already glanced at the surrounding situation and walked north without hesitation.

On the north side was a courtyard wall about ten feet high. If she climbed over it, she would reach the main street. Only by reaching the street could she save her life.

At this time, the two maids pushed the door open from behind and said, "Miss, where are you going?"

Lin Xi felt that the two girls spoke very stiffly and with difficulty, enunciating each word, as if they were taking a lot of effort to speak.

She didn't even look back and ran even faster.

But just as Lin Xi was about to approach the courtyard wall, she heard a hoarse, old male voice: "Yun, Yunxi, where are you going?"

The Tianji alien identity that Lin Xi replaced was called Zhou Yunxi!
Following this sound, an extremely powerful, violent and disordered thought locked onto her and crushed her, not only making it difficult for her to think, but also temporarily losing control of her body.

Then a withered, pale hand rested on her shoulder: "Go back!"

Lin Xi's face turned pale.

Although her current body is only at the Tongjing level, which is the warrant officer level, Lin Xi's mental power value has already reached 600 points.

As her sealed memories gradually awakened, her mental strength hidden deep in her soul also recovered rapidly and increased day by day.

Therefore, this guy who can suppress her thoughts and make her unable to control her body with just his soul must be a demon above the fifth level, and may even have the blood of a super king!
This Zhou family is indeed a den of evil.

"Go back!" The hoarse, old male voice emphasized again: "Listen, be obedient!"

Following these words, the man removed the suppression of his soul, and Lin Xi felt his whole body relax and his body returned to normal.

She turned her head and saw an old man in his eighties wearing white standing beside her.

He had a head full of white hair, a face full of wrinkles, a hunched body, and looked very old. However, the eyes that looked at Lin Xi were scarlet, not only full of ferocity, but also as sharp as a knife.

Lin Xi's mood was as cold as ice, almost in despair.

However, this is Tianji Star. Even if Lin Xi feels despair, she cannot trigger her dragon of despair.

Lin Xi tried to remain calm and bowed to the old man in white. "Granddaughter, I understand. I'll be back soon."

The Alien Management Bureau gave her some basic information. The old man in white should be her grandfather, named Zhou An.

Her scalp tingled as she walked towards her boudoir under the gaze of the old man in white.

At this time, the two maids also came over and supported her on the left and right.

Lin Xi not only smelled the blood on them, but also saw the meat strands between their teeth. She got goose bumps all over her body.

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): Brother, are you sure you understand the Zhou family's situation? Did you know that the head of the Zhou family is a fifth-level demon? And maybe even a super king?

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): I know. I told you to stay here peacefully. Your current situation is actually very safe. I promise that everything will be fine. Just practice martial arts with peace of mind these few days and improve your skills as soon as possible. By the way, you can wait for the right opportunity and try to ask about the Zhou family's account books and land deeds and get these things.

Lin Xi felt a tightness in his chest and didn't know what to say.

Just as Lin Xi was being supported by two maids towards her boudoir.

An old woman who also looked to be in her eighties suddenly appeared beside the old man in white clothes, Zhou An.

She was holding a lantern, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Lin Xi's back. Her voice was old and dry, "No! You can't let your granddaughter go out. It's not safe."

"I, I know!"

The old man in white answered with a stiff expression. At this moment, his eyes moved and his body suddenly appeared on the wall.

The old man in white saw a group of armored soldiers with torches rushing down the street in the distance. There were about fifty of them, all of them strong, wearing helmets and armor, and wearing fish-dragon battle robes.

In fact, the leader was riding a strong iron-scale horse and wearing the armor and robes of a seventh-rank military commander.

He rode to the wall of Zhou's backyard, looked around first, and then pointed to an inn next to it.

"Clear out that inn. By your orders, we will be stationed here for the next month."

The old man in white frowned slightly when he saw this.

He recognized the identities of these people; they all came from the imperial city of Siwangcheng!
