Chapter 408 Conspiracy
Jiang Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Did he say why he wanted you to gather together?"
The eldest of the evil infants shook his head: "Big Brother said that as long as we leave a mark in the city every night, someone will come to save us."
"Are you sent by Big Brother to save us?"
Jiang Ci: “…”
What is the mystery behind the black handprints left in the city?
She turned around and looked at the countless black handprints on the wall. Suddenly she thought of something and asked the Great Elder, "How is the security in this city?"
The elder was stunned for a moment: "Public security?"
Jiang Ci: "Is the crime rate high?"
The great elder looked ashamed and said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I don't know much about the situation here, but I can ask others."
He called the city manager on the spot to inquire.
Upon asking, I found out that the crime rate in this city is more than ten times higher than that in other cities!
Various murders occurred one after another.
There were cases of couples quarreling and being torn to pieces in the middle of the night, vendors stabbing you to death after a quarrel, people walking on the sidewalk being hit by a car, people eating hot pot and pouring hot soup over the other person because they were not happy with the way he looked at them, people tutoring their children and throwing them off the 18th floor in a rage, people quarreling with their neighbors in the group and then setting fire to their family of five, etc...
The Great Elder said in shock, "In the past month alone, the number of deaths caused by conflicts between strangers has reached hundreds, and there are even more seriously injured."
"It seems that the people in this city are very violent and can explode at any time."
Jiang Ci understood, "The black handprint was left by the evil infants with the power of resentment. When so many of them gather together, the malice in people's hearts will be magnified."
"Magnify the evil intentions?" The Great Elder suddenly thought of something. "No wonder when we found this place, everyone suddenly disobeyed our orders and rushed forward more impatiently than the other."
"Everyone has an evil side in their heart. Once it is magnified, the consequences will be disastrous." Jiang Ci said with a heavy heart, "He wants to destroy this city."
"Why destroy it?"
Jiang Ci couldn't figure out what was in this city that was worth Ci Xin's efforts to collect evil infants from all over the place and gather them here just to destroy this city?
There must be something she doesn't know.
"Can we go and perform the salvation ritual?" The evil infant boss looked at the salvation ritual array eagerly.
Jiang Ci waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Just follow the instructions when you get to the underworld."
The restraints on the evil infants were loosened, and they all swarmed into the salvation array.
After a while, they disappeared.
The Great Elder and others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Venerable Jiang, if you hadn't helped me tonight, I'm afraid we would all have died here. Thank you so much!"
The Great Elder and everyone from Shanhai College bowed to her and expressed their gratitude.
Jiang Ci smiled faintly: "As fellow Xuan Daoists, it is normal for us to help each other when we are out and about. You are welcome, Great Elder."
"The subsequent finishing work will be left to you."
She paused and jokingly asked, "You guys know how to clean up the black handprints, right?"
The Great Elder smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Venerable Jiang, don't worry."
Jiang Ci was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly stopped by the third elder.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment!"
"If you have to fart, do it now."
The third elder walked up to her, his face full of shame, and he apologized to her: "I was shortsighted and rude to you before. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
Jiang Ci nodded lightly, walked into the darkness and disappeared.
The third elder finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He can't afford to offend a Earth-level Talisman Master!
The second elder smiled and patted his shoulder, "Old Third, will you still dare to judge people by their appearance in the future?"
"I'll never dare to do it again." The third elder was still sweating profusely, fearing that she would retaliate against him afterwards.
But I have just apologized to her in person, so she shouldn't cause trouble afterwards.
"Grand Elder, when did a Earth-level Talisman Master appear in the Eastern Region? Why is there no news at all?" the Third Elder asked in confusion.
The Great Elder guessed, "Feng Jian said that Venerable Jiang was invited by the old Patriarch Murong. He might be a Venerable who came from outside the Eastern Region."
"The surname is Jiang, could it be related to the Jiang clan?"
"The Jiang Clan is really flourishing right now. I heard that the head of the Jiang Clan even sent someone to our Shanhai College, right?"
"Yes, I heard that she is his adopted daughter."
"The adopted daughter of Patriarch Jiang must be a child of destiny."
…
When the Jiang family returned to the Feng family, Feng Lele's soul had returned safely to his body.
Feng Jian was hugging him and old patriarch Murong and bragging about how Jiang Ci appeared and saved everyone.
The old master Murong slapped his thigh and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He only regretted that he didn't go along to see it for himself.
"Venerable Jiang!"
As soon as they saw Jiang Ci coming back, they all jumped up from the sofa and saluted respectfully.
Jiang Ci's eyes fell on Feng Lele and she stretched out her hand to him, "Lele, do you still remember your sister? Come here, let your sister hug you~"
Unexpectedly, Feng Lele, who had been very clingy to her before, now fearfully snuggled into Feng Jian's arms.
There was a timid light in those big watery eyes.
Jiang Ci was still laughing, "Come here, sister will give you some candy~"
"Wuwuwu..." Feng Lele turned her head away and buried her little head in Feng Jian's shoulder, ignoring her completely.
Jiang Ci: “…”
Feng Jian said awkwardly: "My son might have been too frightened and is a little shy."
"Le Le, don't be afraid. She is the sister who saved you. Don't you remember?"
Feng Lele looked back at her, her eyes full of unfamiliarity towards her.
Patriarch Murong was surprised and said, "This kid changes his mind very quickly. When he was a ghost, he insisted on grabbing Master Jiang and couldn't be pulled away. What's wrong with him now?"
"Le Le has just returned to his body and may have forgotten what he remembered after his soul left his body." Feng Jian explained as he picked up his son and walked closer to Jiang Ci.
Feng Lele still seemed very resistant.
Jiang Ci waved her hands and said, "The child was too frightened. Just take him out to bask in the sun more often to replenish his yang energy."
Feng Jian nodded: "Okay, Your Excellency!"
Afterwards, Jiang Ci and old patriarch Murong came out of Feng’s house.
Patriarch Murong looked at her absent-minded look and soothed her, "Master Jiang, are you in a bad mood because that kid ignored you?"
"That's about right."
But it wasn’t that Feng Lele ignored her.
But she had guessed it when she was at the amusement park, and from Feng Lele's reaction now that he didn't even approach her, it could be seen that the Feng Lele she picked up was not the real Feng Lele.
It was Ci Xin who deliberately led her into the trap by taking advantage of the matter between Feng Lele and Nieying.
But why?
What was his purpose in doing this? Was it to allow her to save the wandering ghosts or the evil babies in the amusement park?
It's not that simple.
Jiang Ci asked Patriarch Murong: "Patriarch, do you know where the highest point of this city is?"
