Ling Qingxue noticed Zhou Zhilu's strange behavior and frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Zhilu swallowed hard, looked at Ling Qingxue nervously, and said, "If my imagination is correct, the red crystal in my hand will be something that can push the country into the abyss."
Ling Qingxue looked at Hong Jing questioningly: "Just relying on such a small thing?"
Zhou Zhilu sighed and explained, "Never underestimate life's thirst for desire. You've seen this guy too. Ordinary people have no resistance to this kind of psychedelic stuff, and it can even lead to a strong addiction.
"You should know what the Song Dynasty is like now. Not to mention living and working in peace and contentment, how many people can't even afford to eat and wear clothes? The burden of life is gradually bending their backs!
"And at this time, if there is something that can bring them the ultimate psychological happiness, do you think they can resist the temptation?
"Not to mention that this thing is addictive. By then, all the people will spend all their money to buy this thing. When someone tries to dissuade them, they will directly turn hostile. They can't control it!"
Zhou Zhilu placed the red crystal in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said, "What's even more terrifying about this thing is..."
Zhou Zhilu took out a handful of demon-transforming powder and slowly sprinkled it on the red crystal.
The moment the demon-transforming powder came into contact with the object, it turned green.
"Demon spirit?!"
Zhou Zhilu nodded with a complicated expression and said, "My guess is correct. They do have a method for transforming humans into demons, and it relies on this red crystal."
Ling Qingxue said anxiously: "Impossible! How can ordinary people withstand the power of the demon race?"
"Who said it was a one-time thing?" Zhou Zhilu asked in response, "What if it's something that happens over time? If it happens over a period of several months, and initially only changes physical features, and then gradually acquires demonic powers, then that's entirely possible!"
Ling Qingxue was stunned and couldn't refute for a long time.
"Now you understand the seriousness of this thing, right? It will not only cause serious harm to the people of the Song Dynasty, but it is also a threat to the human race!"
Ling Qingxue nodded with a heavy expression: "I understand. I will report this to the department in a moment."
As he was speaking, Li Yu on the ground suddenly groaned in pain.
I saw him scratching the scales on half of his face with his hands, as if something was making him feel extremely itchy.
"Sir, please, give it to me!"
Li Yu pleaded with Zhou Zhilu in pain. Several scales on his face were torn off. Half of his face was covered in blood, and the other half was covered in pleading and pain.
Zhou Zhilu grabbed Li Yu and said harshly, "You know what this thing is. If you eat it again, you might become a demon!"
"I know!" Li Yu shouted loudly.
"But I can't help it! At first it was just the pleasure that fascinated me, but now if I don't eat for a day I feel like ants are crawling all over my body! Please!"
Zhou Zhilu hesitated when he saw this. After all, he knew that it was impossible to quit this addiction easily.
However, Li Yu on the other side was almost crazy, his eyes red as he shouted: "I asked you to give it to me! Do you fucking understand? That's right! I can give you something in exchange, I can give you my wife, and even sell you my child, as long as you give it to me, give it to me!!!"
As he spoke, Li Yu opened his demonic claws and pounced towards Zhou Zhilu ferociously.
Zhou Zhilu clenched his gums, uncontrollable anger constantly hitting his brain. When he saw Li Yu rushing towards him, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed in an instant, the sword light flashed, and Li Yu suddenly became quiet.
Blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth and he fell to the ground with a thud.
As I felt the perception of my body gradually fade away, the emotions of madness, pain, and desire disappeared one after another, leaving only the last trace of calmness.
Li Yu looked at Zhou Zhilu and his lips moved slightly.
Although Zhou Zhilu couldn't hear it, he knew what the other party was saying.
Thanks……
Ling Qingxue, who was standing aside, looked at the scene at a loss. If she had only barely realized the seriousness of the matter through Zhou Zhilu's description before,
Li Yu's end perfectly demonstrated to her the horror of this red crystal.
Zhou Zhilu calmed his restless emotions and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm more aware of the seriousness of this matter. I'd better report it to the department."
"Sorry..." Ling Qingxue said softly.
Qingxue felt guilty, whether it was her previous misjudgment about the demonization of humans or her later doubt about what Zhou Zhilu said about the red crystal.
I have underestimated the other party and overestimated myself. Although nominally it was the senior of Fu Ye Si who helped the junior to familiarize himself with the procedures, for now, when it comes to investigating the case, I am more like the junior.
Zhou Zhilu didn't know what to explain when he saw this. After all, including his previous life, his experience in investigating cases was certainly not comparable to that of a little girl like Ling Qingxue.
After struggling for a long time, the sky in the distance gradually became brighter. After discussing, the two separated. Zhou Zhilu went to the post station in the county town to deliver a letter.
The communication methods of Fuyesi are in various forms according to different levels.
There are extremely serious military orders that can be transmitted through the formation, but the cost is high.
There is also a way to transmit information through spirit beasts, such as the Shunfeng Bird, which is a bird-like spirit beast about two feet long and gray in color. It is good at flying with the wind and has an incredible speed.
