Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 456
The alchemy furnace is about one foot high, and the whole body is covered with metal color. It looks a little dark and shiny. I don't know what kind of material it is, but in the ancient times, there was such a craft to create such a magical and majestic alchemy tripod. Come on, it's really amazing, not to mention the jade bottles on the ground, each of them looks very precious.

So when I came up and saw these things, I was completely attracted to them.

It wasn't until Ma Yi'ao suddenly asked this sentence that I came back to my senses and looked around, only to find that Teacher Zhang had gone somewhere and was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone looked at Chen Jing, after all, he pointed the way just now, and Chen Jing was also a little surprised, saying that I saw Teacher Zhang coming up just now, where is he?

Upon hearing this, Inspector Xie frowned, and began to shout loudly: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang?"

She yelled twice, but no one answered. Captain Peng immediately turned gloomy, surrounded the high platform, and began to search around.

I also looked around in the ruins, looking for someone, and calling Teacher Zhang's name.

It stands to reason that her favorite student died tragically for no reason, and she made such a tragic cry before she died. As a teacher, even if she is obsessed with research, she will rush over to confirm the situation as soon as possible, but at this moment, we actually I can't find her anymore.

I remembered what Ma Yi'ao had said to me earlier, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Teacher Zhang, why do you want to kill us?
What does she want to do?
I looked at Ma Yi'ao, while he was looking around with a sad face. This high platform should be the foundation of the alchemy room, covering an area of ​​only two to three hundred square meters, but it is surrounded by collapsed walls and ruins, so it cannot You can see it at a glance, so you need to look around.

I took a look, and with one stride, I jumped up to the alchemy cauldron. At a height of more than ten feet, I was able to look around and found a figure sprinting towards my left hand.

And that figure is very similar to Teacher Zhang's back.

Is it her?

I shouted loudly in that direction: "Mr. Zhang, why are you going? Something happened to Dr. Huang, come back quickly."

Because of the distance, I was afraid she wouldn't be able to hear me, so the voice was louder, but the figure ran away without looking back, without stopping at all.

I'm sure that my loud voice can reach such a distance.

But why didn't she stop?

I was puzzled, and various speculations came to my mind, but I didn't think about it carefully. Instead, I jumped, jumped off, and then chased in the direction that the figure ran away: "Stop, stop..."

I shouted loudly, but Mr. Zhang didn't stop, jumped directly and disappeared into the darkness.

I chased for a distance of about 200 meters, until I reached the edge of the ruins, and I could no longer see Teacher Zhang, and Ma Yi'ao's voice came from not far away: "Hou Zi, stop chasing, come back. "

I stopped and looked at the dark and gloomy front, feeling depressed for a while.

At this moment Ma Yi'ao chased me up and asked me, "Going away?"

I turned around and said to Ma Yi'ao: "I wanted to break my head, but I didn't understand why she did this—she brought us here, but she ran away by herself, and she didn't even care about her own students. Why? Could it be... bewitched?"

Ma Yi'ao smiled wryly, saying that he might have been bewitched a long time ago, not here.

How do I say this?
Before Ma Yi'ao could answer, Inspector Xie's voice came from not far away: "Come back, don't get separated."

In such a complicated situation, our strength is already seriously insufficient. If we disperse again, accidents will easily happen. Therefore, after Inspector Xie said this, we did not wait here with emotion, but walked back , came to the ruins where the huge cauldron was placed.

As soon as we walked up, Captain Peng won over and asked, "What is going on with her, Zhang Jie?"

He used to say "Teacher Zhang" and seemed to be very respectful, but now that accidents are happening again and again, Zhang Jie, who is one of the most important people, has made his own decision and walked away rashly. I have to stop being polite.

Ma Yi'ao said: "Run away, ran away without looking back."

"Run?" Chen Jing was very surprised, and said, "Why did she run? Could it be that she was hallucinating?"

When Captain Peng heard it, he looked towards the others and asked, "Did any of you see just now, did she wear a magic talisman?"

Ma Yi'ao said without hesitation, "I've been wearing it all the time."

Captain Peng frowned, saying that since this is the case, it is impossible to be enchanted by evil spirits and fall into hallucinations?

At this moment, Tang Dao, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said: "Captain Peng, there is a question that I've always wanted to know, but because it involves confidentiality, I can't verify it. Since the current situation has become like this, can you Can't you explain it to me?"

Captain Peng asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Dao said, "How much do you know about Researcher Zhang Jie?"

Captain Peng subconsciously said with a dark face: "Why do you suddenly think of asking this question?"

Tang Dao was not afraid, but said seriously: "Because this will affect our judgment on her bizarre behavior, and it may also affect our next action decision."

Captain Peng said: "Action decision-making is something I should consider."

Continuous accidents made Peng Jianxiong, who is as calm as he is, a little upset, especially the tone of Tang Dao's speech at this time, which made him very uncomfortable. He also ridiculed Tang Dao without hesitation, but at this time, Tang Dao was gone. Instead of being low-key and cute before, he raised his head, looked directly into Captain Peng's eyes, and said word by word: "Because I suspect that the deaths of our team members along the way are all related to this Teacher Zhang, and even Xia Longfei's death , and has the most direct relationship with her."

what?
If Tang Dao didn't make a sound, he would become a blockbuster. As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, even I, who had been prepared for a long time, felt very surprised.

Why did he say that?

Captain Peng stared at Tang Dao with sharp eyes, and said, do you know what you are talking about?

Tang Dao said calmly: "When we passed through the ghostly willow forest just now, everyone was on alert. Captain, you were even more cautious as if you were walking on ice. Only Teacher Zhang was calm and unafraid; not only that, When that ghost willow lost the suppression of the peach talisman and started going crazy, the only one who was not attacked was Teacher Zhang."

Captain Peng shook his head and said that you were talking nonsense, and she was also attacked at that time.

Ma Yi'ao stood up at this time, and said that there were indeed branches bluffing, but watching the excitement, none of them fell down. When bandaging afterwards, except for Hou Mo's special situation, the only one without the slightest scar was It's Teacher Zhang.

Tang Dao nodded, and said: "When I crossed the stream just now, although I didn't have time to save people, I found someone casting a magic formation on the river, Xia Longfei was restrained by the magic formation in mid-air, and hit the invisible On the air wall, she just fell into the water. At that time, the only person who looked like she was casting a spell was Teacher Zhang Jie—she put her hands behind her back at the time, so you may not have noticed, Captain Peng. Such……"

Tang Dao crossed his hands, made a handprint, and described it to Captain Peng.

And then, he said: "Before entering the ruins, Teacher Zhang who had been leading the team suddenly turned around and patted Dr. Huang. I saw that Dr. Huang's body froze obviously, and his eyes were a little confused. .”

After Captain Peng heard it, he still didn't quite believe it, saying that you probably didn't imagine it yourself, did you?

Tang Dao said: "Whether it is true or not, you can only find out if you find someone, but she has run away now, and there is no trace of her. We have no choice but to confront her face to face. Besides, she is a guide, but now she has disappeared. The only student When the fire is like this, what should we do, should we sit and wait for death, or do something else, have you thought about this problem?"

Indeed, without the presence of Teacher Zhang to lead the way, we really don't know where the White Tiger Secret Realm is.

What should I do next?

Thinking of this extremely realistic question, Captain Peng was silent for a while, and then said: "I took over this task temporarily. I did not participate in the early preparation period, and I know very little about Zhang Jie. If you want to know , you can ask Inspector Xie."

Tang Dao looked at Inspector Xie, and after hesitating for a moment, Inspector Xie said, "If you think Teacher Zhang Jie might be the insider of those night walkers, or something else, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. She is indeed A person from the National Archives, and an expert on the Kunlun subject, because this subject involves confidentiality, the relevant departments have conducted a very strict political review on her; being able to pass such a review shows that her background is absolutely innocent, and it is impossible for you to appear guesswork."

Ma Yi'ao couldn't help but asked, "Teacher Zhang Jie, is she a practitioner?"

Inspector Xie said: "This is even more nonsense. If she is really a cultivator, let alone spent decades in relevant institutions, even half a year, she might have been discovered."

Tang Dao asked suddenly: "Is she married? Has she had any children?"

Inspector Xie shook his head and said, "No, she focused on academic research and never married in her whole life."

Tang Dao was a little surprised, and said, didn't he even talk about love?
Inspector Xie rubbed his temples, recalled for a while, and then said: "It seems that there was a discussion in the file, but it was divided later."

Tang Dao continued to ask: "Why are you divided, do you know?"

Inspector Xie nodded, and said that I checked before, and according to the man, it seems that she is a disaster star, hindering Zukov, and bringing bad luck...
