Chapter 32 Soul Stone
"It looks like the boat has capsized."

On the second floor of Zuihua Building, the young county magistrate was still standing by the window railing, looking at Zhang Tianchang and Lin Rui below: "Sir, you are right, I have been reckless this time, and I should be patient for a while."

Master Du, who was standing behind him, raised his hand towards the young county magistrate: "It is because of your kindness that you don't want the people of this county to continue to be exploited and tortured by corrupt officials and demons, so you act more urgently. However, I did not expect that Jiang Dianshi and The connection between the county captains is so deep."

When the county magistrate just handed over the account book, he already hinted that he had no intention of delving into Jiang Dianshi's guilt. However, Jiang Dianshi still chose to turn over the table without hesitation and sided with the county captain.

This is very rare in other places. After all, Dian Shi and the county magistrate have conflicts in terms of authority. Under normal circumstances, Dian Shi is naturally the county magistrate's right-hand man.

However, since the county magistrate took office, he has repeatedly used methods of dissension and instigation, but he has been unable to separate Dian Shi and the county captain.

There is a huge problem hidden in this.

"This matter is indeed strange. As far as I know, Jiang Dianshi and the county captain are not related. They had conflicts with each other when the county captain took office in the early years. Why do you think Jiang Dianshi hugged him to death? Don’t let go of the county captain’s thigh?”

The county magistrate immediately shook his head and laughed: "It's useless to say this now, we still have to deal with the Blood Sword Princess as soon as possible."

"This matter should not be difficult." Master Du looked unconcerned: "Now that three hundred county soldiers are about to enter the city, the daily security in the city should be no problem. As long as the people from the Imperial City Department arrive, they can take out the Blood Sword Princess in a day or two. Down--"

But before he finished speaking, he heard the young county magistrate say in a light voice: "There is no more Imperial City Division."

Master Du was stunned for a moment and looked at the county magistrate: "What do you mean, sir?"

"The news from the county is that the Imperial City's 'Wangchengdu' has suffered heavy losses recently, and the Yidu's 'Yulongzhi' has almost been blamed. It is estimated that within a month or two, we will not be able to count on the Imperial City." manage."

The young county magistrate handed a letter to Master Du: "As for the county soldiers in the county, they cannot stay here longer. They will have to return to the county in a month at most."

Master Du opened the letter and took a quick glance at it, then his head was full of black lines. He thought to himself, under such circumstances, do you still dare to have a showdown with Jiang Dianshi?

He immediately realized that the magistrate's move was probably a last resort.

The news that Wangchengdu in the Imperial City Division was severely damaged will soon spread. Once Jiang Dianshi learns of this, he will be even less likely to compromise. Even the three arresters who turned to the county magistrate may turn against him.

Today's game is actually forcing them to take sides.

"So from now on we're on our own."

The young magistrate looked towards the Yamen: "Sir, do you think those who were killed one after another in the past four days really died at the hands of the Blood Knife Princess?"

"I personally checked the scene. Whether it is from the traces on the scene or the wounds left behind, there is no doubt that it is the Blood Knife Princess, especially those corpses, all of which were sucked up."

Master Du frowned when he said this: "My lord, why do you ask that? Could it be that you feel something is wrong?"

"Didn't you realize that some of the deceased had conflicts with the county captain, or had business conflicts, or had grievances in the past?"

The young magistrate smiled slightly, took out a folding fan from his sleeve and opened it with a bang: "I never believe in coincidences. If coincidences keep happening, there must be something wrong."

Master Du's eyes became solemn: "It's really possible to say that. If your judgment is correct, then there are two situations. One is that the county captain controls the demon and pretends to be the Blood Sword Girl to kill people; the other is that that The county captain has a way to control the Blood Sword Princess."

Either way, the situation is dire.

Their county lieutenant is a master in the late fourth realm of cultivation, and there are four hundred county soldiers as minions, and there are Dianshi Jiang Hanzhang and many head catchers as their arms.

If he still colludes with demons, and even controls a fourth-level high-ranking demon like 'Blood Knife Princess', his power will be unimaginable.

"I'd like to gamble on the first possibility. The county lieutenant hasn't yet completely controlled the Blood Blade Princess." The young county magistrate smiled slightly. "So, I plan to stay in Zuihua Tower for the next few days, meet her, and see if I can subdue her."

This is the place where the 'Blood Knife Princess' loses control and devours its master. According to the demon's habits, after the Blood Knife Princess loses their master, they will linger near the place where their master died for a long time.

"I wonder if sir, have you ever heard of a legend? Most of the Blood Knife Princesses like handsome, young and strong handsome men. The younger and more handsome their masters are, the more they like them and the more loyal they are -"

Mr. Du's face suddenly darkened. Where had the Lord heard such a rumor? It was completely absurd. Moreover, the Lord seemed too confident about his appearance.

"I'm kidding." The young county magistrate shook his head, his expression serious. "But this may be the only good plan at the moment. I now have some information. The blood of the Blood Blade Princess may be stronger than we previously expected. I may not be her match, and the county lieutenant may have other plans for her."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Du felt even more depressed. Is the Blood Blade Princess's bloodline really that powerful?

Mr. Du then tactfully advised, "I advise you to give up this thought. The Blood Blade Princess will never surrender easily. If you force it, you will most likely end up hurting both of you. Even if you succeed by chance and form a blood pact with her, there's still a risk that she'll devour you again in the future. If the Blood Blade Princess loses control a second time, I'm afraid the disaster will be even greater.

Once a demon like Blood Blade Princess tastes human blood, it becomes difficult to control them. They are driven by desire, constantly yearning to devour their master's spirit and blood to regain their freedom. "I know this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one. I have no choice but to do this."

The young magistrate shook his head slightly. "Let's first figure out a way to get through these two months. Once the Imperial City Administration is restored, everything will be easily resolved."

While he was speaking, he touched a scroll hidden in his sleeve.

In fact, the young county magistrate was not sure that he could suppress the desire and evil thoughts of Blood Knife Princess during these two months. The problem was that he had no choice now.

In the entire Yiyue County, he is the only county magistrate who currently has the ability and willingness to suppress the Blood Sword Princess.

If I don’t go to hell, who will?
The young county magistrate can only hope that the treasure he bought with a lot of money from the county can be more powerful.

※※※※

Zhang Tianchang was taking Lin Rui to receive his robe seal.

Although Lin Rui was only acting as deputy chief catcher, he still got the deputy chief catcher's robe and token.

Of course, his salary in the yamen was still the standard for a black belt agent, and his paperwork also said 'black belt'.

Lin Rui then followed Zhang Tianchang into the backyard where the magistrate lived, and got a third-level treasure armor and three low-level soul stones.

Soul stones are a specialty of Tianji Star. They can strengthen mental power, and the effect far exceeds the 'mental power enhancement liquid' developed by the federation.

The effect of a low-grade soul stone is equivalent to three doses of spiritual strengthening liquid, and there are no sequelae.

The federal official purchase price is five thousand federal coins, and the prices offered by the alien companies are even higher.

That third-level armor is even more precious. It is actually a set of divine hedgehog armor that covers the whole body. Its defensive power is comparable to that of a federal captain-level exoskeleton armor. It is very strong and has the ability to resist damage.

There are only a few battle armors of this level in the entire yamen, not even the few head catchers who have cultivated to the third level. The purchase price of the company may reach more than 100,000 federal coins.

Therefore, the magistrate is very generous.

While Zhang Tianchang led him away, he introduced Lin Rui to many of his colleagues in the yamen office, as well as the important job of deputy chief catcher.

"You know how to use the waist card, right?"

When Zhang Tianchang said this, his face was a little solemn, and there was worry in his eyes: "You must be careful these days. If you encounter any critical situation, don't hesitate, just use your badge to notify me.

We still have staff. According to the regulations of our county government, a deputy chief constable must be accompanied by one black belt and three blue belts. Hanhua Lane is a wealthy place, so it is reasonable to add more. However, you saw what happened in Zuihualou just now. There is no extra staff in the government office right now. I see that Wang Erqi is very close to you, so I will simply assign him to you. I will give you the remaining three people when the government office recruits in the next few days."

Lin Rui originally had a bad impression of Zhang Tianchang.

He did not forget Zhang Tianchang's forced conscription this morning, and the way his muscles were tense in Zuihualou just now.

At that time, as long as the county magistrate gave an order, Zhang Tianchang would blow his head with a palm.

However, as he walked around Zhang Tianchang, he had already lost 70% to 80% of his bad feeling.

Lin Rui cupped his hands and said, "The head catcher is very worried. Could it be that he feels something is not good?"

Zhang Tianchang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The current situation looks like a storm is about to come. I actually regret recommending you in front of the county magistrate. I didn't expect that the county magistrate would directly appoint you as the deputy chief catcher. This may bring you to the forefront." ”

He immediately cheered up and patted Lin Rui on the shoulder: "Anyway, be careful these days. Just try your best over there in Hanhua Lane. If you really can't do it, I will explain it to the county magistrate for you. There is no need." You are too worried, the county magistrate is very intelligent and confident, and there must be a way to resolve this crisis. "

After he finished speaking, he held the knife in his hand, turned around and strode out of the door.

Lin Rui looked at his fiery figure thoughtfully, wondering if the situation in the county was so dangerous?
He thought of the warning from the administration again, and while thinking about it, he stuffed a low-grade soul stone into his mouth, and bit it into pieces with a 'bang' sound.

The way to use the soul stone is to grind it into powder and mix it with water and swallow it. If you don't have the conditions, you can just bite it into pieces.

Not long after the powder entered his mouth, Lin Rui felt a cool feeling in his mind.

The human body's digestion of the soul stone is a long-term process. He will be in this state for the next three days until the soul stone is completely digested.
