In an empty and spacious single-person isolation room, a petite girl dressed simply sat alone, with one hand on the table, scratching the edge of the table with her fingernails.
The fallen sawdust formed a layer of dust on the ground at her feet, but her fingertips were not worn at all.
The girl is very white, with sparse eyebrows and light-colored pupils, as if she has albinism. Her eyes are quite wide apart and her face is dull. Although she is not a beauty at first sight, she has a kind of gloomy beauty inexplicably.
At this moment, he was raising his eyes, staring coldly at the reflective wall in front of him like a bird.
She knew that someone was watching her behind the wall, and she also knew that there were surveillance cameras in the house.
Outside the isolation room, Gu Zhisang crossed his arms, his eyebrows slightly raised.
This is the branch of the spirit group in the area where the sorcerer was caught.
The single-sided fiberglass room, which is thickened and affixed with many defensive talismans, is a place specially used to detain extremely vicious people who use metaphysical spells to commit crimes.
"You fought her?"
Zheng Ruyu said helplessly, "I told them to negotiate after we found her, but when we found her, she was catching pheasants and sucking their blood in the nearby mountains. Her face and her red collar were covered in blood, which scared our people."
The frightened team members subconsciously shouted "evil cultivator", making the sorcerer think that they were here to arrest them, and then the two sides started fighting.
Zheng Ruyu added: "Fortunately, I listened to your reminder. The higher-ups allocated a high-level formation for them. Before this girl could use the flying head, they trapped her in the formation and brought her back."
"Our colleagues here didn't dare to let her move around freely, so they kept her in the isolation room. She was very resistant to us and refused to communicate."
Gu Zhisang nodded: "I'll go in and take a look."
"Okay." Zheng Ruyu said with some concern, "But this little girl is a bit evil, you'd better be careful."
"So?"
Zheng Ruyu said: "My colleagues here went to the area to investigate her identity information and found some older information in the database. The girl's name was originally recorded as Li Mutan in the archives, and later changed to He Mi Mutan. In recent years, she has become a famous little fortune-teller at the foot of Songshan Mountain. She is very mysterious.
My mother is Miao, and my father’s ancestors are Thai, and they moved here three generations ago.”
According to investigations by local colleagues, this place is located at the junction of the southwest and the north, is relatively underdeveloped, and has many ethnic minorities.
When they went to investigate at the foot of Mount Song, some elderly people were able to tell them some information about the little girl.
According to an old lady in her eighties in the town, the maternal family of this family has always been engaged in the business of psychics and fortune-telling. The girl's grandmother and great-grandmother both experienced that era and the family was very poor.
Twenty years ago, He Mi Mutan's father came to Songshan in the southwest as a wealthy foreign businessman. He seemed to have formed some kind of investigation team, and it was unknown what he was looking for in the mountains.
In the second year at the foot of Songshan Mountain, he pursued He Mi Mu Tan's mother and then settled here.
Neighbors in the nearby town all said that the woman had married a rich man and would live a good life.
But the fact is, after the two got married, a wealthy Thai businessman had a small villa built halfway up Song Mountain, and on weekdays, few people saw the couple coming in and out.
If there was a villager nearby who had a headache or a fever, or encountered some strange thing and wanted to seek help from a fortune teller, he could only go up the mountain to look for her.
At that time, the old lady was only 60 years old, and her little grandson was washed away by dirty things and had a high fever that wouldn't go away.
She went up the mountain overnight and knocked on the door on the mountainside. The room was dark and filled with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of rust.
The woman on the bed was skinny, with a pale face and sunken eye sockets. A baby boy was crawling beside her, sucking on a pacifier, which scared the old woman so much that her back shivered.
She trembled as she asked the woman to treat her grandson, but she couldn't help but glance at the woman's belly.
"The woman was very young. Not long after giving birth to a boy, she became pregnant again. Her belly was so swollen that it looked like it was going to explode..." the old lady recalled.
Later, the woman cured her grandson and gave birth to a baby girl three months later.
In the following years, people living at the foot of the mountain often saw a little girl running around, but her brother was nowhere to be seen.
"What happened next? How did the family become?" the spirit group member asked.
The old lady tried her best to recall and shook her head slowly:
"I can't remember, but it seems that when the little witch was five or six years old, her family suddenly moved away and never saw her again."
'There were also sick people in the town who went up the mountain to see the witch, only to find that the house was empty. Later, it was occupied by a deadbeat and his mother. Who would have thought that after a few years, the witch's daughter would come back.
At that time, the shameless mother and daughter wanted to bully the witch because she was young, but the bad guy broke his leg and his mother suddenly had a stroke and became paralyzed, which scared them so much that they ran away.
The little witch that the old woman was talking about was He Mi Mu Tan.
Zheng Ruyu said, "I'm afraid that the mother and son who occupied the cabin in the mountains were cursed by her."
"In short, this family disappeared for □□ years. This little girl, who was 14 or 15 years old, suddenly came back by herself. Since then, she has been living in a wooden house in Songshan. She didn't go to school. She usually treated illnesses and exorcised evil spirits for the people in the town. She used animals in the mountains to suck blood and practiced the 'flying head magic'.
As for her boyfriend who was cursed with a peach blossom, he also grew up in Songshan Town, and it must be by chance that he fell in love with this girl. Who would have thought that after he passed the exam, he was tormented and broke up with her. "Zheng Ruyu sighed.
Without mentioning the many suspicious points surrounding He Mi Mu Tan, just looking at this relationship, it is a very pure love.
If it weren't for the netizen named 'Xiaozhu is the cutest' who cast a peach blossom curse on the boy, maybe the two of them could have been together.
"After our investigation, we found that He Mi Mu Tan's mother should also be a 'Flying Head Demon'." Zheng Ruyu continued:
"And he should have died fifteen years ago. It seems that he killed a villager who went up the mountain to collect herbs and sucked his blood dry. He was discovered by the local Xuanmen branch's Xuanshi, who arrested him and executed him as an evil spirit."
"As for the girl's brother and father, there are records of them leaving the country, so they must have returned to Thailand. I don't know how they left her behind."
Gu Zhisang looked at He Mi Mu Tan behind the one-way glass and suddenly said:
"Her father is dead."
Zheng Ruyu:?
"Sangsang, you, you figured it out from his face?"
"Yeah." Gu Zhisang said in a normal tone, "She must have killed him herself."
"There is a family evil in her parents' palace."
Evil spirit is different from foul spirits and evil forces, and cannot be considered a terrible disaster.
As long as you have killed a living being, you will be contaminated, especially human life;
Many famous and upright masters of the mystical arts will have some exposure to it.
Like Gu Zhisang, who had killed countless evil cultivators and villains, he was full of evil spirits;
If she hadn't intentionally suppressed her aura, she would have been mistaken for a bad person.
Now it seems that when she calculated in her personal live broadcast room, there were errors in the results she calculated because she did not have photos and horoscopes of He Mi Mutan.
Although this girl has never sucked human blood, she has evil spirits on her hands, and her case is more special than the ordinary murder case;
She has killed people.
The person he killed was his own father.
Patricide is against ethical principles, but judging from He Mi Mu Tan's face, there is sinful power, but it is not severe.
This means her father deserved to die.
Gu Zhisang didn't know what he had figured out. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and turned to Zheng Ruyu beside him and said:
"What a coincidence. You and I both know her brother."
Zheng Ruyu: ? ?
"I know him?" The woman in uniform frowned, and then something clicked in her mind. She looked up in surprise: "Could it be... He Mi Tu?!"
Gu Zhisang agreed.
“This is such a coincidence.”
Zheng Ruyu murmured.
Although He Mi Tu and He Mi Mu Tan have the same surname, if Gu Zhisang hadn't told her, she would never have connected the two of them.
Because in the eyes of ordinary Han people, the surname Hemi is very rare, but in fact it is a big surname of the Miao ethnic group, and there are many Miao people with this surname in the southwest.
Like the "Ge Liao" in Ge Liao cicada, "Ge Mi" is also one of the six major surnames of the Miao ethnic group.
In the Miao dialect, 'ge' is the same as 'he'.
When fellow villagers speak in authentic language, they would call it "Ge Liao Chan" and "Ge Mi Tu".
In fact, when transliterated into Chinese, "Ge Liao" will become "He Liu", another big surname "Ge Xie" is pronounced as "He Xiao", and "Ge Mi" is also pronounced as "He Mi".
Precisely because the Ling Group absorbed members from many regions, with all kinds of rare and strange surnames, Zheng Ruyu was aware of this and was not surprised, and did not think about it in this regard at all.
She wanted to ask more, but Gu Zhisang had already walked to the fiberglass door, so she remained silent for the time being.
The door of the isolation room slowly opened. The young and gloomy girl in the room heard the noise, raised her head abruptly, and stared at Gu Zhisang with hostility.
When she looked up, Gu Zhisang's eyes fell on her neck.
There was a long scar there, which was very wide and long. It should have been cut by a knife, but it looked like an old wound.
As He Mi Mu Tan grew older, his body grew taller and his skin stretched and widened.
You can imagine how deep and painful the wound was back then.
"Hello, I'm Gu Zhisang."
From the moment Gu Zhisang stepped into the isolation room, He Mi Mutan tensed up and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
She moved her neck.
The long and wide scar was like a closed opening that twisted and split into a thin crack.
Gu Zhisang knew that under the gap was a separable head and body, as well as internal organs hanging under the head and completely removed.
But she was not afraid at all, instead there was some interest in her eyes.
She sensed a strange and mottled evil aura from the girl in front of her, and immediately became more interested.
Zheng Ruyu and other team members who had been observing from outside were a little nervous, fearing that a fight would break out inside.
The strange thing was that He Mi Mu Tan just stared at Gu Zhisang for a long time, the hostility in her body slowly subsided, and she closed her eyes.
After a while, the thin crack on her neck healed and returned to its original state, becoming a dark-colored flesh scar.
Everyone:?
"Sister Zheng, why is this sorcerer's aura so weak?"
Zheng Ruyu also felt strange, but still patiently continued watching.
——
"Gu, Zhi, Sang."
He Mi Mu Tan opened his eyes and laughed coldly: "I've heard of you, you're very famous."
"You're flattering me." Gu Zhisang was very interested. "The scar on your neck must be a fatal injury. You must have been through the gates of hell."
"If you want to kill me, just come and don't waste your words!" The young girl gritted her teeth impatiently, her eyes and tone full of resentment:
"I have been waiting for you Xuanmen lackeys for a long time, but unfortunately... I am a waste."
She laughed at herself and raised her neck slightly, as if she was ready to be strangled.
Gu Zhisang blinked innocently, "But we are not from Xuanmen."
He Mi Mu Tan opened his eyes:?
Ten minutes later, after listening to Gu Zhisang's explanation of why he was arrested and the origin of the Spirit Group, He Mi Mutan fell silent.
She looked doubtful, "Are you really not in the same group as Xuanmen?"
"No, they are incompatible." Gu Zhisang said, "We just want to talk to you and regulate your future behavior among the people. Of course, it would be best if we could recruit you."
He Mi Mu Tan was choked by these extremely honest words. She still had doubts:
"Since it's a state organization, why don't you kill me? I suck the blood of livestock, don't you think I'm an evil cultivator?"
Gu Zhisang said calmly, "There is no right or wrong in magic. Good or bad depends on people's hearts. Even if you practice flying head magic, as long as you haven't slaughtered innocent people, no one has the right to call for your death."
He Mi Mu Tan stared at her, "What if I have killed someone? You won't get rid of me?"
"It's just killing someone." Gu Zhisang said lightly, "If we kill the evildoers, it's punishing evil and promoting good, they deserve to be killed."
She glanced at He Mi Mu Tan and curled the corners of her lips:
"Just like your biological father, he deserved to die."
He Mi Mu Tan was stunned, frightened by the calm hostility in her tone, and her hands gripping the corner of the table trembled slightly.
Not fear, but excitement.
After resting, she had to rely on sucking fresh blood to maintain the stability of the power in her body, which often made her feel self-loathing and irritable.
Since He Mi Mu Tan's ability is to devour the essence and blood of living things, she is extremely sensitive to the strength of living things, as well as the power contained in their essence and blood.
At the moment when she was about to make a move on Gu Zhisang, a breath so powerful that it made her feel her internal organs tremble slightly suppressed her overestimating her own capabilities.
She thought that the people who 'captured' her were the same Xuanmen masters who had abducted her mother more than a decade ago.
In the same indiscriminate way, she was deemed as guilty as her mother;
Similarly, just because the method they practiced was the Flying Head Magic, they would judge her as a witch and execute her.
That's why she was so resistant when the members of the Spirit Division came to her;
He was even prepared to take a few people with him to be buried with him even if he died.
However, He Mi Mutan did not expect that the young woman who stepped into the room would be so powerful, making her clearly realize that she had no power to resist.
Just when she was ready to be strangled, something unexpected happened!
He Mi Mu Tan's tone softened and he curled his nose, "You..."
"How do you know I killed that old ghost?"
Gu Zhisang: "I calculated it."
"I also figured out the scar on your neck..." She raised her white fingertips and touched her neck. In an instant, He Mi Mutan's face turned pale.
"Your mother did it."
