Chapter 37：

"Damn it, this is increasing. Could the entire Huaishan Village be controlled?" Chu Li cursed.

The four fought and retreated, and had to deviate from the original route.

"This is endless." Fang Tianyun once again placed a barrier to block her, breathing heavily.

Tang Xi rubbed the bead string on his left wrist, and quickly patched up a layer of seal with her fingertips.

At twelve o'clock at noon, it was supposed to be the sunny weather, but I don't know if it was because they entered the forest too deep, the lush trees obscured the sky, and even the light was dimmed.

"Is that a magic weapon in your hand?" Fang Tianyun glanced inadvertently and asked in surprise.

Without the sunlight, the twinkling of the soul-raising wooden beads is as eye-catching as a guiding light.

Tang Xi ignored her, put her right hand on the beads, gritted her teeth and said, "I can handle it!"

"What's the matter?" Chu Li asked.

"Infant spirit!" Tang Xi said solemnly, "Last time we easily cleaned up those infant spirits, which might have caused the alert of those behind the scenes."

"So what?" Chu Li was puzzled.

"Manipulate the infant spirit, manipulate the corpse, manipulate the villagers-because he has met the nemesis." Tang Xi sneered, "Anyone who manipulates and uses foreign objects to fight will encounter a problem. If you retain the'weapon' mentality, of course the strength will be increased, but Once a weapon has consciousness, it is easy to bite the master. They dare not, so they just erased the weapon's own will and use it as a dead thing."

"Mind control skills." Fang Tianchen affirmed, "A dead thing without consciousness has zero resistance to mind control."

"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded, "But mind control is an extremely rare ability for celestial masters and demons and monsters. They probably don't know if I am or not, so they use these villagers to test."

"What should I do? Should I apply?" Chu Li understood, and looked at her bracelet.

Tang Xi pursed her mouth. If there was a ghost in front of her, she would be able to destroy it all in one go, but it would be a bit tricky if it didn't hurt the living—especially the old and weak women and children. Only with Yunqi's move can it be solved relatively mildly. However, she always felt that the other party's purpose was not so simple.

"Hey, it's okay, just think of a way, I can't stop it!" Fang Tianyun shouted.

On the premise that it can’t hurt people, her enchantment is the best tactic to use. The controlled villagers have no wisdom and will only attack them mechanically, even if they are blocked by the enchantment, they will go to the enchantment again and again. I didn't know a detour when I hit the road. However, hitting the wall for a long time will also cause serious injury!

"Miss Tang, these villagers have been under control for a long time. Even if they are rescued afterwards, there will be sequelae. If you can do it..." Fang Tianchen solemnly said.

"How do you say?" Tang Xi went to see Chu Li.

"I know they have a late move, but... the living is more important," Chu Li replied.

"I got it." Tang Xi sighed and waved, erasing the seal.

In an instant, a strong resentment rushed out of the beads, forcing the surrounding Chu Li and Fang family brothers and sisters to step back several steps.

Tang Xi knew that this time she was angering Yun Qi, but the shadow in her heart became heavier.

"After solving the matter here, let's see how I can deal with you!" Yun Qi's voice was as cold as ice scum.

Tang Xi laughed dryly, and only said, "Go back and talk about it. Let's solve the current situation first."

Yun Qi appeared in resentment, his face was unprecedentedly ugly. In the past, Tang Xi could not limit his actions, but the soul-raising tree...this time he deeply understood what Tang Xi meant by "Li Ghost Prison". Although the original intention was to protect, but... still owed!

"Thousand-year ghost!" Fang Tianyun's face was pale with horror, and his body was trembling.

Even in my dreams, there is a thousand-year-old ghost beside this student-like girl, or in other words, this world can actually see a thousand-year-old ghost! Originally, she thought these were all legends recorded in ancient books.

What Yun Qi took out was a guqin. This time there was only one string that floated, but it was a lot more solid, and the single string could not make a tune, but as his fingertips flicked, strands of black piano sound floated out and turned into ropes. , Tied the villagers like walking corpses and set them in place.

After a quarter of an hour, the woods finally calmed down.

"It's over?" Fang Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously moving further away from Tang Xi.

"Team Chu, I think, are you born with a defect here?" Tang Xi pointed to his head and wondered, "Every time your reaction makes me doubt life...As a normal person, you don't know how to be afraid. Is it for a moment?"

"Isn't the ghost you said can't get close to me?" Chu Li asked rhetorically.

Yun Qi sneered, and Yudi instantly poked him under his eyes.

Chu Li's eyes shrank, he slid like a conditioned reflex, turned around, and made a hand knife—if he was slicing a living person, he would probably have already been lying on the ground at the moment, but his opponent was not a human being. His hand knife directly penetrated the cloud. Qi's neck has a visual effect like beheading.

"Come on, fight close, you really can't beat him." Tang Xi stopped Yun Qi with a suffocated smile, and explained to Chu Li, "My spiritual power will not guard him, and the Chu team is better to be careful."

Yun Qi snorted coldly, pinching the jade flute with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

Fang Tianyun on one side was almost desperate. This serious case leader is indeed not a normal person, he actually fought with a thousand-year ghost!

The strong resentment that was all over her body has already suppressed her almost out of breath, why is an ordinary person unaffected?

"Well, Miss Tang, it's important to get the villagers back to normal." Fang Tianchen interrupted.

"I won't." Tang Xi blinked, looking at him with strange eyes, "I am from the combat system, and I have never been good at healing."

Of course, if she has to be treated, she can use the most stupid way to force out the things in the villagers little by little, but this way, one or two is fine. There are more than 100 people here, even if she is exhausted. It can't be saved.

"Then this..." Fang Tianchen looked at Yun Qi, wondering what to call it.

"He is not milk, why do you think that a ghost can cure a living person." Tang Xi was speechless.

"Brother, let me try it." Fang Tianyun was finally calmer, settled, and went to check in front of a settled villager.

"How is it?" Chu Li stepped forward and asked.

"It's a bit troublesome, but I should be able to." Fang Tianyun thought for a while and nodded.

"Leave it to you here. Tang Xi and I will go up and have a look." Chu Li had become the one who gave orders without knowing it.

"But..." Fang Tianchen hesitated a little.

"You can't worry about leaving your sister alone?" Chu Li said.

Fang Tianchen was speechless.

"Let's go." Chu Li walked straight up the mountain.

Fang Tianyun was busy saving people and didn't have time to talk to him. Fang Tianchen could only acquiesce when he saw this.

Tang Xi followed Chu Li and couldn't help but complain: "After running this way, do you remember where to go?"

"My first task for graduating from the Public Security University ahead of schedule was to go to a drug dealer | drug| gang abroad to work as an undercover agent. I even went through the Amazon forest. What's this here." Chu Li sneered.

Although Tang Xi knew that this person could become the leader of the serious crime team at a young age, and he must have had a remarkable feat, he did not expect his experience to be so legendary.

Yun Qi did not return to the Soul Cultivation Orb, or even floated up, except for an outdated costume, he looked like a living person.

"This matter, no matter what their purpose was before, I am afraid it is all directed at me now." Tang Xi said suddenly.

"Because Yunqi?" Chu Li said.

"And me." Tang Xi sighed.

"You?" Chu Li glanced at her incomprehensibly.

"These people have been lurking for many years, and their energy is not small. After a big loss in my hands that day in the small park, it is certainly not difficult to check my origin." Tang Xi said indifferently, "The birth date of my body is also the same. The five elements lack water."

Chu Li was a little concerned about her saying "I am a body", but now it is obviously not the time to care about the words, and he solemnly said: "Do you think they have targeted you?"

"Looking for someone with a special fate is nothing more than a few useful things. After finding so many and giving up, it is probably inappropriate." Tang Xi talked eloquently, "Although I don't know why it is inappropriate, I have plenty of spiritual power. If his body doesn't work, I'm afraid it won't work. What's more, it's a good deal to catch a ghost with a mind control skill attached to me by the way."

"So, do you think this trap is waiting for you today?" Chu Li's voice also sank.

"Otherwise, there is no news after a year of investigation, and suddenly even other people's strongholds have been found out?" Tang Xi sneered.

"You don't believe the confession?" Chu Li raised an eyebrow.

"I'm used to preparing for the worst first." Tang Xi paused, and then said, "Of course, confession is really possible, but this does not prevent the people behind the scenes from planning."

"Perhaps, I shouldn't involve you." Chu Li was silent for a while before saying.

"After the last shot, there is no possibility of retreating." Tang Xi shook his head, "It is better to act with the police to save the innocent. If this matter is not resolved, it is always a hidden danger."

"Xiao Xi, I found the stronghold. But I didn't see the person controlling the villagers." As he spoke, Su Huang's voice rang.

"It runs fast." Tang Xi cursed.

"Lead the way!" Chu Li lifted his spirits.

Following Su Huang's guidance, the two of them took a shortcut through the woods and saw a red brick house built on the mountainside.

"There is no one inside. Depending on the situation, they are already prepared to give up here." Su Huang said.

"Don't touch things indiscriminately." Chu Li said, putting on disposable gloves before he opened the courtyard door.

Since Su Huang said there was no one, he didn't need to hide it. Chu Li pulled out a steel wire and folded it, and in less than ten seconds he pried open the door.

A uniform layer of ash remained on the ground, and it was obvious that it had been away for at least three days.

"Then what?" Tang Xi pointed to the stack of papers on the table. This position was obviously reserved for those who came in.

"Don't move..." Chu Li reminded him, unable to help being dumb.

However, Tang Xi put his hands in his trouser pockets to make sure he would not leave his fingerprints on the spot, while Yun Qi generously picked up the file and opened it to her.

Well, ghosts will not leave fingerprints.

Chu Li drew his eyes, swallowed the words in his mouth, and leaned over to look at it together.

A document is a file that includes all the experiences of a woman from birth to death. Although it is only a photocopy, the birth certificate, ID card, household registration book, various academic certificates, certificate awards and even death certificates are all available.

Chu Li immediately logged into the police system with his mobile phone and checked the woman named "Anna".

Although the name sounds like mixed race, especially in the era when she was born, the country had just reformed and opened up, and few people would take such a foreign name. But in fact, if it weren't for her surname that happened to be Ann, and she just yelled "Nana" on the street, countless women named Wu Na, Li Na, and Zhao Na would agree.

"He really died, it was an accident." Chu Li read the information at a glance, and said in a simple way, "On the New Year's Eve five years ago, she stayed in the company and worked overtime until midnight. She pulled the switch and she was locked in an elevator that was halfway through. The next day, her family called the police, but because it was an adult, the police did not immediately file a case of missing her, and waited for her body to be found. It's hard. I died of a sudden myocardial infarction."

"She doesn't call when she is locked in the elevator?" Tang Xi asked in amazement, "It's a matter of the age when there is no signal in the elevator."

"The phone is out of power." Chu Li sighed, "Her colleague's cell phone was out of power before get off work. I borrowed her mobile phone and called home for a long time. In addition, she was working late and the phone turned off automatically."

"It's unlucky." Tang Xi was helpless. How many coincidences did this cause a tragedy?

"So, what do we mean by looking at such a file?" Chu Li said, "Although it is quite unlucky, there are people who die in all kinds of accidents all the time in the world, and there is nothing surprising about this Anna. ."

"Fart!" Suddenly, an angry male voice came from the room.

"Who!" Chu Li turned around, holding the gun and firing the safety catch.

The back was empty and there was no figure.

"No surprises? To me, to me, she is everything to me, the best and best person in the world!" The voice continued, and the two of them heard it this time, from the room on the left. From here.

Chu Li rushed over without hesitation, and without tossing about unlocking, he kicked the door open with a heavy kick.

"Really violent." Tang Xi was speechless.

Slowly follow, but this room that looks like a bedroom also doesn't look like a person can hide.

Tang Xi rolled his eyes around, relaxed, and patted Chu Li's arm: "If you are not here, you should treat it as... the video call is ready."

With that, she pointed to the waiting mirror inlaid in the middle of the old-fashioned wardrobe.

The mirror surface was covered with a thin layer of resentment, reflecting a distorted figure that couldn't see clearly.

"Are you talking?" Chu Li's muzzle pointed at the mirror.

"Oh, what do you know?" Sombra's tone was full of acrimony and disdain, "Anna has nothing wrong with her, she is so kind, so beautiful, but what about you? All kinds of thankless things that no one wants to do. All the work is pushed to her, and no one on the New Year’s Eve is willing to work overtime and let her add it. If I wasn’t by her side at the time—how could she die! How could she die! The **** it is you! It’s you!"

"What did you do?" Chu Li keenly noticed the meaning of his words.

"What did I do? Hahahaha..." Sombra laughed wildly, "The old witch who bullied her and told her to work overtime if she wouldn't refuse, and the little bargainer who always used her phone to make long-distance calls| The security guards with life as a child's play, the procrastinating policemen...hahaha, I let them go down to make atonement to Anna!"

Chu Li and Tang Xi looked at each other, their expressions changed.

The person opposite is a master of the profound sect. If they attack ordinary people, it is really impossible to guard against, and the police will only end the case as an accident. If he hadn't said it today, I'm afraid no one would have known that these people had died of murder. After all, the common ground of these people is so obvious that if it is a murder, once a case is filed, it will definitely be combined. For such a large serial murder case, the police system must have a heavy record.

"Since you have avenged your revenge, what are you still tossing about?" Tang Xi asked La Chuli quietly.

"They die, can my Anna survive?" Sombra sneered, "Anna is so young, her life has just begun, and she shouldn't be lying in the cold underground..."

"Presumptuous!" Tang Xi sternly said, "The resurrection of the dead is a taboo in the Profound Gate taboo. It disturbs the reincarnation of life and death. Can you afford it!"

"As long as she survives, I can pay any price!" Sombra did not show any weakness.

"Crazy." Tang Xi shook his head.

"Resurrection, is it really possible to do it?" Chu Li asked, "If I understand correctly, he is trying to resurrect Anna by catching those women with specific fate?"

"If the dead can come back to life, I will resurrect Yunqi back then." Tang Xi replied coldly.

"..." Chu Li was dumbfounded, speechless.

This is really... the irrefutable answer.

Suddenly, the silent Yun Qi moved, the white shadow flashed, and he reached out and grabbed the mirror.

"Don't!" Tang Xi was startled, and grabbed his wrist.

"This mirror is a guide, you can find him when you go through it," Yun Qi said.

"Of course I know!" Tang Xi said in an angry voice, "You can go through, what about me? Huh? I am a living person!"

Looking at her, Yun Qi didn't seem to think this was a problem.

"Come on, come here with the ability, I am here waiting for you hahahahaha!" There was a wild laugh in the mirror.

"A boring radical technique." Tang Xi firmly grasped Yun Qi with one hand, raised his spiritual power into a sharp sword, and smashed the mirror to pieces with a bang.

The black shadow shattered with the broken lens, the resentment flickered and gradually disappeared, and the room became quiet.

"You..." Chu Li helped his forehead.

"Sorry." Tang Xi glanced at him, but couldn't hear the apology in her tone.

"I understand." Chu Li nodded.

"Do you think I will lose to a human?" Yun Qi frowned tightly.

"If you are in the heyday, I don't mind if you rush to get everything done. No matter what kind of trap, when the force is strong enough, it is enough to crush it directly." Tang Xi looked at him seriously and said in a deep voice. , "Yun Qi, I know you want to get rid of the evil for me, but I am not that weak. You are now...not the ghost king who crushes the profound door."

Yun Qi was silent, suddenly "tsk", turned into a streamer and returned to the soul-cultivating pearl.

Tang Xi lightly touched her hand and pulled it empty. She couldn't help but flatten her mouth, muttering: "Dead Tsundere!"

"Forget it, let's go back today. I don't know what happened to the villagers." Chu Li turned around and walked out, took the files on the table, and said, "It's not without gain, from this one named Anna. The woman started investigating, investigating her relatives and friends, plus the several murders that the **** admitted to her, leaving behind a lot of clues, and she still has to be busy."

"Be careful, this person shouldn't be the one who controls the villagers. The distance is too far." Tang Xi reminded, "He still has accomplices. When he was killed with a carbine, he capsized in the gutter."

"Xiao Xi, although I didn't find anyone, I still have some clues." Su Huang floated over and whispered, "Following the trail of grievances, I found the disconnected place. I didn't see anyone, but there was one left in place. It smells very light perfume."

"Woman?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up.

"The scent is very good, and it can last for so long. It's not a bargain." Su Huang affirmed, "A very distinctive fragrance. If I smell that scent, I will definitely recognize it."

"I see." Tang Xi took notes and asked her to return to the bracelet.

A human compass, Chu Li, led the way, and the two quickly returned to the place where they were separated from the Fang family.

I saw the villagers falling to the ground in the forest, and Fang Tianyun was sitting under a big tree, not knowing whether he fainted or fell asleep. Seeing them come back, Fang Tianchen, who was guarding aside, was tense at first, and then relaxed: "Don't worry, it's okay. A Yun has consumed too much spiritual and physical energy and is overdrawn."

Tang Xi looked at Fang Tianyun's tired face and sweat-soaked hair, her heart moved slightly.

Actually... She is also a pretty girl, especially now, although she is described as embarrassed, she is more beautiful than ever.

"What are these villagers going to do?" Fang Tianchen rubbed his eyebrows. "Ayun said, they won't have the memory of being controlled when they wake up, but whoever wakes up finds that the whole village is lying a dozen miles away from the village. In the mountains, big things are going to happen."

"This is easy." Tang Xi snapped his fingers, and then called out Yun Qi.

Yun Qi played a flute with a black face.

The villagers stood up swayingly one by one, like puppets, walking slowly towards the back mountain in twos and threes.

"No problem?" Fang Tianchen subconsciously said.

"The instinct remains in the body and will take them home, just like an old horse knows the way." Tang Xi said, "However, if you are deeply controlled, even if it is relieved, you will not wake up until tomorrow. Wake up from your own bed, it won't be a big problem. Right? As for the memory of one day missing...I really can't handle this."

"It's okay." Fang Tianyun's weak voice rang, "I made up their memories of the day. They are all ordinary people, and they won't notice anything wrong."

"Really? It seems that our cooperation is quite good." Tang Xi smiled.

Fang Tianyun reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth, still looking at Yun Qi with fear.

In fact, it’s no wonder that she reacted very strongly. Chu Li is an ordinary person, and Fang Tianchen is a supernatural person. As long as she psychologically overcomes the fear of thousand-year ghosts, there will be no problem, but she is a celestial master and can feel it more deeply than anyone else. The terrifying power of Yunqi.

Fang Tianchen carried his younger sister on his back and said, "Go back and sort out the case. Here we have to let the trace check over."

Chu Li looked at the file in his hand, responded, and then turned around and said, "Tang Xi, can you trace the whereabouts of that bastard?"

Tang Xi stretched out her hand, tossed a shiny object up and caught it, raising her eyebrows and smiling: "What do you mean?"

Chu Li could see clearly that it was a fragment of a mirror, and he immediately gave her a thumb.

"Give me two days." Tang Xi said.
