I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 19: The Demon Transformation Incident
In the darkness, the circle of light quickly shrank and condensed into a flame, which fell on the lamp. A woman in black walked out of the darkness holding a lamp.

She walked around some benches and came to the White Dragon King. She shone the light carefully on the back of his hand and said, "Aside from scales, what else does it have?"

"In severe cases, gills will grow, fins will grow on the hands and feet, and the appearance will change. The person will only want to stay in the water."

"This is transformation into a monster." Han Yitong said affirmatively. Deformation is a general term for a body change after being infected. Most of them are irregular deformations, turning into monsters. This is generally a deformation in the broad sense.

Generally, people with physical deformities are in very serious condition. Of course, there are also some people who are possessed by parasites, and it is not their bodies that are deformed, but their hearts.

This type of body deformation, such as what is happening to the White Dragon King now, is also known as demon transformation.

"Who was the first person in your association to transform into a demon?"

The White Dragon King took a deep breath and said slowly, "Our president's daughter."

"Ms. Blue Whale's daughter?" Han Yitong asked.

In the Marine Environmental Protection Association, everyone is named after a marine creature, and Blue Whale is the name of their president.

"How is she now?" Han Yitong asked again.

However, this time the White Dragon King remained silent and did not answer the question.

"How is she now?" Han Yitong asked again, this time her voice was more majestic.

The Marine Environment Association is registered in this sea city, and this is also the headquarters of the association. They will take the initiative to deal with "incidents" related to the ocean, so in the official position of this sea city, they are very familiar with each other, and can even be said to have many friends.

This is also why, when the Marine Environmental Protection Association had a mysterious leak, it could be delayed again and again, until it was finally reported to Beijing.

Jingzhong also sent him, a first-level researcher, not to say that she is more powerful than the people in the Jingling Bureau of Hai City, but her arrival is a kind of attitude, as well as a kind of supervision and urging. Of course, she herself is also very capable and is very suitable for handling this incident.

"The first person to transform into a demon is often the source of infection. You don't want to tell us, are you afraid we might kill her?"

Han Yitong's words silenced the White Dragon King.

Silence is acquiescence.

"Have you forgotten the principles of handling mysterious incidents? Never extend your sympathy and love to someone who has been parasitized and deformed. If you sympathize with her, you are harming other innocent humans. She is no longer one of us. She is already a demon, and you are also becoming a demon. You have been influenced by her from the beginning, or rather, you have given her time to assimilate you."

The White Dragon King remained silent, without making a sound, but Han Yitong raised the lamp in her hand and shone it on his face, as if to see clearly whether he really said what she said, and also as if to intimidate him and examine him.

The White Dragon King's eyes obviously changed, and he began to doubt himself.

"Am I really like what she said? No, I know very well that everything I do is carefully considered." White Dragon King thought to himself.

Han Yitong held the lantern and began to circle the White Dragon King, saying, "Who was that person who came out of your camp and was eaten by rats?"

"That's my friend, a deacon - Golden Spear," said the White Dragon King.

"I think he escaped with his tenacious will to report the news. You all want to solve it internally, but in fact you are giving her time." Han Yitong said affirmatively.

"No, not really. Jin Qiang's mind is confused and he's already crazy. How could he be going to send a message outside?"

"Then let me ask you, has anyone in your organization ever suggested asking for help from outside?"

"Have."

"What was their final outcome?" White Dragon King's expression changed.

Because he found that those who had suggested asking outsiders for help were basically crazy.

"You'd better stay here. If you go back, you will only be used by her and she will notice our arrival." When Han Yitong said this, the White Dragon King's body suddenly began to tremble.

It was as if some kind of will was reviving within his body and trying to control his will.

His body collapsed rapidly, fell to the ground and turned into a pool of water.

However, darkness surged at this moment.

Han Yitong stretched out her finger and drew a circle on the puddle of water, saying, "Draw a circle on the ground to make a prison."

The water swirled around, unable to escape. Then the water stood up again and transformed into a human. The White Dragon King shouted, "Quick, imprison me!"

"Don't worry, you can't leave even if you want to."

After Han Yitong finished speaking, she turned and left. The lamp moved away and was blocked by her body. The darkness instantly engulfed the White Dragon King. His body originally glowed, but in this darkness, he was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

……

The door of Pei's Sword Hall was pushed open.

Ye Youruo, who had returned first from next door, was washing up when she heard the sound of the door opening in the silence. She suddenly said, "Aunt Wu, I want to come back by myself tomorrow."

The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, then said, "The sea market is still very dangerous at night. I'm afraid there might be places I can't see."

"Pei Ju always goes alone wherever he goes. Before, he seemed to have ridden his bike to the North District alone, and today he also walked to Qingdai Building alone. I think he is a very brave man, and I want to learn from him." Ye Youruo's voice was pleasant to the ear, but also very calm, with a sense of certainty that a decision had already been made.

"Miss, he's alone because his parents are no longer around, and his only grandfather has to guard the training hall. He has to be alone, and you don't need to be like this. Although you have to come here, the master sent me to take care of you, so I can't let you put yourself in danger."

"To put it bluntly, it wouldn't be surprising if someone like him suddenly died on the streets of Hai City one day." Aunt Wu said seriously.

"I don't care. I'm going to go by myself. If you want to follow me, you can follow me, but don't appear next to me." Ye Youruo said somewhat arrogantly.

Aunt Wu was silent for a moment, then replied, "I understand, Miss."

"However, Miss, the swordsman profession has declined. The swordsman's ability is too limited. No matter how brave he is, he can only be a supporting role. Just treat it as making friends here. A swordsman is a low-level profession and is not suitable to be a partner in exploration."

Ye Youruo was silent, but did not say anything. She just scooped up the cold water and splashed it on her face.

On the other side, Pei Ju was eating the midnight snack left for him by his grandfather. People who are growing up tend to get hungry quickly.

The dim light illuminates two people, one old and one young, who are accompanied by their shadows on the ground.

The title of the book has been changed again. A fellow reader suggested that it be called "The Years I Slew Ghosts in the Sword Hall," which I think is a good idea. However, the current title was also chosen by a fellow reader in the group.

At that time, I came up with many book titles, and my editor and I both liked the first one.

Titles: Shadow Story, Sword in the Shadow, Strange Tales from the Interlude, Extraordinary Swordplay, Forbidden Flowers Falling, The Swordsman Who Slays Tricks in Rakshasa City, and My Swordsmanship in Rakshasa City
