Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Evil Thoughts Become Demons
He Junxia immediately gave Xie Xiaoyu a look and released his mental power to sense the specific location of the owner of his gaze.
His mental power was far stronger than this body, like an invisible whip, spreading rapidly in the direction of his sight.
Xie Xiaoyu, who received a signal from He Junxia, quickly reacted, opened the red wooden box in his hand, and took out a golden net.
This is a demon-slaying net made by several awakened people using spiritual weapons. Once it comes into contact with a demon, it will tightly wrap around it. The disadvantage is that it cannot be reused.
"Look up."
He Junxia reminded softly, pointing his right hand to the ceiling in the upper right corner. A bronze figure suddenly appeared on the white beam.
The bronze figure that came to life met the eyes of the humans in the hall, but most of their eyes were fixed on the bronze tripod in his hand.
The human youth casually tossed the bronze tripod in his hand, tilted his head and smiled, "Do you want it?"
"If you want it, come down and get it yourself."
As he spoke, he and Xie Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, raised his hand and threw the miniature bronze tripod toward the open space in front of them, while the Demon-Subduing Net in Xie Xiaoyu's hand was also ready to go.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, trying to blow the bronze tripod in the air towards the beam in the upper right corner.
It seems that the demonized bronze man is not a reckless man, at least he has a certain amount of wisdom.
The exquisite and small bronze tripod hovered strangely in the air for a few seconds, but it was still unable to resist the force of the wind and slowly fell beside the bronze man's legs.
What's going on?
Xie Xiaoyu turned to look at He Junxia. The bronze man was only a first-level monster, and the awakened one could control his spiritual weapon through thought, so it would not be blown away by the wind.
He Junxia raised her hand and pointed at the small display cabinet that was supposed to be used to store the bronze tripod, and Xie Xiaoyu suddenly realized.
The bronze figure on the beam holding the small bronze tripod quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. He Junxia closed his eyes and quietly felt the change in the position of the Soul-Suppressing Tripod.
After a moment, the young man opened his eyes.
He frowned. "The bronze tripod is still in the museum. It should be in a storage room on the fourth or fifth floor. Let's go up and take a look."
"good."
The group walked upstairs and finally stopped in front of a hidden utility room on the fifth floor.
He Junxia: "The bronze tripod is inside."
Xie Xiaoyu asked the museum staff and after confirming that there were no windows in the utility room, he hung the demon-slaying net directly in front of the door to catch the turtle in the jar.
"Xiao Li, take Qi Zheng back first. Sister Liu and I will guard the door."
Sister Liu is guarding it?
Could it be that she is also an awakened one?
He Junxia watched as a small bottle appeared out of thin air in Sister Liu's hand and began to doubt her life.
No wonder they could come to the Provincial Museum to look for monsters without worrying about danger. It turned out to be because of Sister Liu.
Isn’t it said that the Special Department is short of staff? Why is it so difficult to let a precious awakened person work as a caregiver for such a long time?
Are they crazy?
He Junxia thought that he was not that confident, and the wisher's orphan status made it even more impossible for him to achieve this.
So what does the Special Bureau want?
He Junxia fell into deep doubt, and countless conjectures flashed through his mind in just a few seconds. He turned back to look at Xiao Li, who was pushing the wheelchair: "Are you also an Awakener?"
Xiao Li showed his eight neatly arranged white teeth, smiling like a silly Samoyed: "Mr. Song, I am not an awakened one, I am a potential awakener."
He Junxia's brain started working again because of his last sentence before he stopped thinking. As far as he knew, there were only awakened people and non-awakened people at present.
He asked, "What is a potential awakener?"
Xiao Li smiled innocently: "Mr. Song, the Special Office won't let us say it."
He Junxia: ...
You are not allowed to say it, yet you still say that you are a potential awakener. You are just kidding me.
He asked, "A potential awakener is someone who has a high probability of awakening among those who are not awakened?"
Xiao Li opened his mouth wide: "How did you know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth and looked around guiltily, as if this would not count as leaking secrets.
He Junxia: ...
Isn’t it written in the title?
He Junxia looked at Xiao Li's face and asked, "How old are you this year?" He was so naive and silly that even elementary school students were smarter than him.
Xiao Li held the wheelchair handle with one hand and opened the other to count. Listening to the sound of counting one, two, three, four in his ear, a faint sense of death appeared on He Junxia's face.
The Special Bureau, a huge makeshift team.
He Junxia really wanted to find the director of the Special Department immediately and tell him loudly that letting intellectually disabled people risk their lives to approach monsters was a disregard for human life and a crime!
Xiao Li: "Mr. Song, I'm 25 years old. My mother says I'm an adult."
He Juanxia wiped his face and said in a coaxing tone, "You're awesome. Let's move a little further away from that door, okay?"
Xiao Li pulled the wheelchair back a few steps. He Junxia suppressed the feeling of death in her heart and focused her attention on the invisible door of the utility room.
Although he had begun to doubt the correctness of joining the Special Bureau, his current focus was still on the bronze figure in the utility room.
Xie Xiaoyu carefully pushed the door open with the help of a broom, while Liu Fenlan tightly gripped the nozzle of the small bottle. The dark green liquid in the bottle looked like a deep blue pool hidden in the deep mountains and forests.
Click
The door opened a crack, but nothing happened.
There was no expected scene of the bronze man rushing out of the door in a panic and being trapped in the demon-suppressing net, nor was there any evil demonic attack.
Xie Xiaoyu asked, "Qi Zheng, are you sure the bronze tripod is in this utility room?"
He Junxia nodded: "I'm sure."
He didn't know whether a normal awakened person could sense the specific location of the spiritual weapon, but his soul and the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had become an inseparable part.
He Junxia used a bit of his mental energy to probe into the utility room. His expression suddenly darkened. He said, "Sister Xiaoyu, something's wrong. It seems like it's about to hold a sacrificial ceremony."
Xie Xiaoyu decisively kicked open the invisible door, and the entire view of the utility room was exposed to everyone. A young man and woman with their hands and feet tied looked at the people outside the door with tears in their eyes.
A small and exquisite bronze axe with an animal head was placed across the man's neck and was about to chop him down, but it was tightly entangled by a large net made of golden silk thread and could not move.
“Sizzle, sizzle…”
The bronze axe emitted a constant stream of black gas, which collided with the golden net, making a sound like meat fat being roasted.
The bronze man stared angrily at the two people outside the door, and his eyes were actually emitting flames.
Liu Fenlan's heart tightened, and he raised the bottle in his hand and sprayed it towards the storage room. He didn't stop until most of the liquid in the bottle was sprayed out.
Is this the smell of Fengyoujing?
He Junxia felt refreshed when he smelled the unique pungent smell, but the bronze man in the utility room was very disgusting, and it seemed that there was something wrong with every joint in his body.
I feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit.
"call----"
Two black flames emitting an ominous aura shot out from the dizzy eyes of the bronze man, and Xie Xiaoyu immediately pulled Liu Fenlan away.
However, someone was quicker than them, and the black flames were blocked by the bronze tripod that suddenly grew larger just as it was about to leave the utility room.
The flames smashed fiercely into the bronze tripod, but disappeared without even a chance to breathe.
The bronze tripod was intact.
Looking at this scene, Xie Xiaoyu once again confirmed his guess that the spiritual weapon Song Qizheng wanted must be of great significance.
Anger seemed to have clouded the bronze man's mind. Unable to strike, he picked up the handle of the bronze axe that was entangled in the gold wire mesh, and in the blink of an eye he bypassed the bronze tripod that was blocking the door.
"Puff," "Puff," "Puff."
The dark green liquid like a gem once again turned into mist and merged into the air. Unlike the last time, the bronze man faced the attack of the mist directly.
"clang"
The bronze axe, which was about to be turned into breadcrumbs and moldy chicken nuggets by the gold wire mesh, fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The bronze man tried to use his speed to escape, but found that his legs seemed to be bound by an invisible silk thread, and he could only escape at an extremely slow speed.
“Puff, puff…”
Liu Fenlan aimed at the bronze man and sprayed all the liquid in the bottle. A wisp of black smoke came out of the bronze man, and the man instantly fell to the ground motionless.
"Dead?"
"Dead."
Xie Xiaoyu picked up the demon-suppressing net on the ground and took out the bronze axe that had lost its magic power: "It's a pity that I didn't bring the demon-dispelling instrument with me, so the demonic energy escaped."
This time I went to the hospital specifically to ask Song Qizheng for help, mainly because I wanted him to know that not all monsters are as powerful as that third-level magic snake.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the bronze tripod appeared, the demonized bronze figure was lured out. Fortunately, the bronze figure was only a low-level monster with weak combat power, so it would not aggravate Song Qizheng's psychological trauma.
Solving this monster theft case would be a good thing.
Xie Xiaoyu contacted the museum staff by phone and went into the utility room to release the man and woman who had their hands and feet tied.
"Why are you here?"
Ever since they confirmed that it was monsters causing trouble, they have sealed off the provincial museum. How could two monsters have slipped through the net?
The young man and woman still had deep fear on their faces and asked what the bronze figure was. However, after hearing Xie Xiaoyu's question, they lowered their heads and stammered, not daring to answer.
Xie Xiaoyu frowned. "I see you two are both young people. Confess and be lenient. Resist and be strict. The police will be here soon. Don't leave a stain on yourselves."
The girl among the two stammered, "We came in by appointment."
"So you stayed in the museum for four days. Did you eat anything?" Xie Xiaoyu looked at the pale lips of the two men and asked the nearest hospital to send an ambulance.
The police and museum staff successively arrived and found the five missing bronze artifacts in the utility room, and the unlucky yet lucky young man and woman were taken to the ambulance by the police.
After everything was settled, Xie Xiaoyu turned to look at He Junxia and said, "Qi Zheng, thanks to your bronze tripod, those two young men would have been in trouble. This is our fault."
No one expected that two young men would have a sudden idea and hide after entering the museum instead of leaving. The surveillance was destroyed by the evil spirit and no one noticed.
If it were a few days later, perhaps only corpses would remain. Those who died in vain often harbor resentment, and this resentment is a perfect source of nourishment for monsters. Monsters that eat humans will also experience a surge in power.
By then, the bronze man will not be as easy to deal with as he is today.
He Junxia smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you and Sister Liu are the main force, and I am just a supporting one. But Sister Liu is also an Awakener, and so powerful. I really didn't expect it."
Xie Xiaoyu laughed heartily: "Sister Liu is an awakened being thanks to you."
He Junxia couldn't understand.
What does the fact that Sister Liu is an awakened person have to do with him, or is the reason for Sister Liu's awakening related to him?
Xie Xiaoyu smiled and said, "This matter is a bit complicated to explain. I will tell you in detail after we get in the car."
