Chapter 328: Tell me, who should I hit?
"Congratulations on your prosperity, congratulations on your prosperity."
Early this morning, as Chen Huaji stepped into the residence, he joyfully bowed and greeted his three fellow seniors.
"Xiao Chen, we should congratulate you."
Several "senior" Xuanyi guards stationed in Qitian City all looked at Chen Huaji with a smile.
Because he had made meritorious service soon after being sent to southern Xinjiang, and because he wrote a good "confession diary" every day, it was said that the higher-ups had allowed Chen Huaji to be transferred back to Hangzhou Prefecture. He just needed a transfer order, which would happen in the next two days.
"After you return to Hangzhou, don't forget us. Don't forget to give us gifts during the holidays..." Brother Zhang began to shed tears as he spoke.
This attitude made Chen Huaji think that the next sentence would be, "Don't forget to burn paper for us during festivals..."
"Although we have only been together for a few months, I feel that you have a good temper." Brother Li also patted Chen Huaji on the shoulder and said goodbye reluctantly.
"Yes, when you get promoted in the future, we will be brothers!" Brother Zhao also hugged Chen Huaji tightly.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, Brother Zhao..."
Chen Huaji couldn't help but purse his lips in this situation. Thinking back to the hard times in southern Xinjiang over the past few months, he could still vividly remember the scenes of playing mahjong, eating hot pot, and visiting brothels together...
Just as I was feeling sad, I suddenly heard someone beating a drum outside the door.
"Who?"
Chen Huaji quickly wiped away his tears and went out to greet him.
Outside the hall, a thin country man, wearing a worn and breathable cotton coat, came to Chaotianque.
Although serious cases of evil and ghosts are rare, there are many cases of people coming to the Imperial Palace for trivial matters in the countryside. After all, no matter how powerful the Seven Southern Families are, they cannot handle all trivial matters.
So Chen Huaji didn't take it too seriously and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
The thin man stepped forward and said in horror: "Our village...something big happened in our village!"
"Come, sit down and tell me slowly." Chen Huaji asked him to sit down and tell the story in detail.
"There is a river behind our village, which flows down from Shilun Mountain. It is far from the village, but close to my home, so usually only my family members go there to use it."
The thin guy didn't waste any time and started talking directly.
"Yesterday, my ducks went to that river to drink water, and then...my ducks died strangely."
"Huh?" Chen Huaji heard that it was indeed the trivial matters of chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, but he still asked very seriously: "Is the river water poisonous? Are you sure it is because of the drinking water and not something else?"
"Listen to me..." the thin man continued, "At first, my family didn't notice it, and we didn't know it was because of drinking the water. Later, my dog also went to the river to drink water, and then... my dog also died!"
"Is it really because of the river water?" Chen Huaji frowned, "But rivers are full of running water, so it is extremely difficult to poison them..."
"The worst thing is that my wife didn't notice it. She went to take a bath in the river yesterday..." the thin man said again.
"Someone died?" Chen Huaji was shocked.
If someone dies, it will be serious.
"Yes!" The thin man nodded heavily: "Old Wang next door to my house is dead!"
"..." Chen Huaji blinked, as if he thought of something.
He slowly shrank back and scratched his head in embarrassment, "When something like this happens...you have to be strong too, brother."
"What are you thinking?" The thin man frowned, "My wife hacked Lao Wang to death! My wife went crazy! Her eyes turned red and she was so strong that it took several guys to hold her down!"
"Oh... hehe..." Chen Huaji quickly laughed twice and said seriously: "So we are going to check the upper reaches of that river?"
"Yes." The thin man said, "My wife has been sent to prison. The government said that she must pay for her life with her life. But she has a hard time even killing a chicken, so how could she dare to kill someone? There must be something strange about the river. Shangguan, can you find out the truth about this and save my wife?"
"This..." Chen Huaji hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It is my duty!"
After sending the man away, he walked back to the back hall in deep thought. He was about to be transferred, and if he took on another tricky and mysterious case involving a person's life, whether it was impossible to solve the case or the solution was not good, it would most likely affect his superiors' assessment of him. If he didn't do well, the transfer order might be scrapped.
Therefore, the safest way is to let others do it and wait for the transfer order with peace of mind.
So he looked at his three colleagues...
"Brother Zhang, this matter..."
"Hey, I suddenly remembered that I have to go to my child's school for a parents' meeting today. Xiao Chen, please keep an eye on this matter."
Just as he was about to speak, Brother Zhang suddenly stood up and strode out.
"Then Brother Li..." Chen Huaji looked at the second person again.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have clothes hanging out to dry at home. It's a cloudless day and it might rain soon. I should go collect them..."
Brother Li disappeared from sight in a flash.
"Brother Zhao, we are brothers!" Chen Huaji hurriedly looked at the last person.
"Brother, I have some soup cooking on the stove. I'm leaving now. Write to me if you have anything."
Before Chen Huaji could speak, Brother Zhao had already arrived at the street corner.
“Good fellow…”
Chen Huaji looked at the residence that was deserted in the blink of an eye, and suddenly felt extremely disillusioned with life.
Is it so difficult to find someone to do things now? ...
"The psychic magic bead..."
Li Chu held the magic bead in his hand and came to an open space on Shilipo.
He was very familiar with this place. At night, there would be many lantern monsters wandering around here, making people feel friendly and safe.
It's just that it's daytime now, and he came here just because he was worried that something unexpected might happen when recruiting monsters.
Deyun Temple has just been renovated.
Holding up the magic bead, it is as deep as the night, and seems to contain star sand.
Li Chu tried to slowly sink his soul into it... Boom!
Suddenly, the stars began to spin, and he seemed to be in a vast world. The magic bead was indeed connected to the rest of the world. In the endless darkness around him, countless star-like points of light were circling.
Li Chu could feel that each of them represented a powerful and manic aura, and behind them should be the monsters in the devil's land!
But these stars are dim, or in other words, have nothing to do with me.
This is normal, there is a cost to power any magical weapon.
So Li Chu slowly injected a trace of spiritual power into it.
call out--
It was like electrifying the sky full of lights. All the stars around lit up and formed huge balls of light! The restless existences in those balls of light were obviously more closely connected to Li Chu. He could almost feel their heartbeats!
He somehow felt that the ball of light that was lit up was the one that could be recruited.
Looking around, the number of lit stars was... endless! And there was not a single unlit star.
It seems that the monsters in the Demonic Land are also very enthusiastic? Li Chu felt their friendliness, but he did not dare to recruit too powerful ones for the first attempt, and only found a relatively medium-level light ball.
"It's you..."
"Come out, the monster I summoned..."
boom--
The spiritual treasure suddenly emitted thousands of black rays, reflecting a black light curtain. In a blink of an eye, a huge single foot stepped out from the light curtain!
Bang——
Or rather, it was a hoof, a one-hoofed giant nearly four meters tall, with a huge bull's head, bulging muscles, and a ferocious mace in his right hand.
"Human, are you the one who summoned me?" The bull-headed, one-hoofed giant roared with pride.
Compared with it, Li Chu's figure really looked very small.
"Yes." Li Chu nodded.
The giant roared again, and asked in a very domineering tone, with incomparable bloodthirstiness and madness...
"Tell me, who shall we hit?"
Li Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Who are you hitting...
What do you think? (End of this chapter)
