Chapter 311 A demon appears in the mansion
Do you know my name?
When Chu Xianping asked this seemingly inexplicable question, it meant that he was doubting whether Pei Dajun was still the "night watchman commander" before.
Wei Changtian once told him about the various magical powers of "Yama Luo", among which the one that Chu Xianping cared about the most was that he could "change into the appearance of anyone at will".
With this ability, if the monster also possesses a higher level of intelligence, then "impersonating" or even "replacing" a person would become very easy.
Of course, there must be a purpose behind doing such a thing.
And "replacing" Pei Dajun, the first person responsible for the "Zhan Yan Luo Plan", and ensuring his own safety is a very reasonable goal.
But now it seems that Chu Xianping's speculation is not true. Or it is difficult to confirm.
"Mr. Chu, what are you doing..."
Pei Dajun was stunned at first when he heard Chu Xianping's question, but soon he smiled as if he suddenly understood something:
"Hahaha, are you afraid that I'm Yama?"
"Um."
Since the other party said so, Chu Xianping did not hide it anymore and just asked again calmly.
"Master Pei, what is my name?"
"Chu Xianping."
Pei Dajun answered quickly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.
"Mr. Chu, I didn't expect you to be so vigilant."
"But can I ask why you doubt my identity?"
"It's just a wild guess."
Of course Chu Xianping couldn't explain to Pei Dajun the anomaly he had discovered. He just made up a random statement, but his expression was full of apology.
"I'm sorry for the offense, but I hope you won't take it to heart."
"Hahaha, no problem. I'll go find Master Wei first."
Pei Dajun laughed again, patted Chu Xianping on the shoulder, and then continued walking towards the study.
This time Chu Xianping did not stay where he was, but turned around and left.
He walked slowly, but his mind was rapidly thinking through the possibilities.
He only mentioned his name when he first met Pei Dajun. After that, whenever they met again, they called each other "Lord Pei" and "Mr. Chu".
Therefore, if Pei Dajun is really the incarnation of Yan Luo, then unless the latter has made extremely careful preparations in advance, he will most likely not be able to tell his real name.
So, it seems that I really thought too much.
A quarter of an hour later, in the study.
Unlike the meticulous Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian didn't realize that "Yan Luo might transform into the appearance of someone he knew" until Pei Dajun told him in person what had just happened.
Holy shit, this is worthy of being the smartest person in the original work!
Wei Changtian sighed in his heart once again, "Chu Xianping is awesome!" Then he looked at Pei Dajun and laughed, "Hahaha, there is actually such a mistake."
"But Lord Pei, although Brother Chu misunderstood you this time, his concerns are not unreasonable."
"If this Yama really transforms into a familiar person, or even blends into the night watchman, then wouldn't our plan be known to it?"
"Master Wei, it's not like we haven't thought about this before."
Pei Dajun smiled and replied, "But according to the current information, Yan Luo can only transform into a human appearance. Even if the appearance is similar, the other aspects cannot be faked. I am afraid that he will be exposed as soon as he opens his mouth."
"So what you are worried about will not happen."
"Well, that does make sense."
Wei Changtian nodded, agreeing with this statement.
If you want to imitate another person completely in every word and action, even a professionally trained spy would have to spend a lot of effort and remember a huge amount of content.
How could a monster do such a thing? "Master Pei, let's not talk about this matter anymore. I will explain it to Brother Chu later."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian put the matter aside for the time being: "Let's talk about business. How many people died yesterday?"
"Master Wei, there are only eight of us."
Pei Dajun's expression suddenly became serious: "It's still the same children scattered around the city."
"Huh? Only eight?"
Wei Changtian frowned: "So Yan Luo really hasn't killed anyone near the princess's mansion?"
"yes."
"Are there any children under six years old in other places in Fengyuan City?"
"there is none left."
“.”
There was silence in the study room, and both Wei Changtian and Pei Dajun looked unhappy.
In the end, the thing I least wanted to see happened.
After killing all the children who were not "surveilled", Yan Luo stopped taking action.
This means that the thousands of children near the princess's mansion have all become "ineffective baits" and are unlikely to lure Yama Luo to show up.
At the same time, it also made it difficult for Wei Changtian to get the opportunity to fight Yan Luo head-on.
"Master Wei, this matter is still uncertain."
On the other hand, Pei Dajun analyzed: "It's only the first day now. Who knows, Yan Luo might not be able to bear it anymore and take the risk to commit a crime near the princess's mansion."
"We still have nearly a month left, so we still have plenty of time. Even if it doesn't show up again, we can still think of other ways."
"Alas, now we can only wait and see."
Wei Changtian sighed softly, feeling quite helpless.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
In the past, no matter how powerful the enemy was, at least he could be seen and touched.
But I have never seen this Yama Luo, and I may not have the chance to do so in the future.
It was something that could be solved with just a "divine strike", but it ended up developing into this situation. It's just a bit frustrating.
The two discussed something else and Pei Dajun soon said goodbye and left.
Wei Changtian drank a cup of tea in the room, thinking back to the misunderstanding just now, so he got up and went out to find Chu Xianping.
However, before he had taken two steps, Chu Xianping came running over in a hurry.
"Sir, Master Qin is here."
“Already here?”
Wei Changtian was stunned and asked quickly: "Where is the person?"
“Right.”
Before Chu Xianping finished his words, a familiar laugh came from not far away.
"Hahahaha, Changtian!"
“Grandpa!”
Wei Changtian hurried over and said with a smile, "I thought you would arrive a few days later."
"Haha, if I hadn't forgotten to bring the demon-detecting compass before leaving and had to go back to get it, I would have come earlier."
Qin Zhengqiu returned to the house with Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping and sat down. While talking, he reached into the package and took out a small compass.
"Grandpa, don't worry, drink first."
The hand pouring the tea suddenly paused, and the words also stopped abruptly.
The three of them focused their gazes on the compass, their eyes widened slightly.
The white light was strong and the pointer was pointing in one direction.
Judging from the intensity of the light, the monster was no more than a few hundred meters away from the three people at this moment.
To be more precise, it is inside the princess's mansion!
