He wore the amulet that Mu Xiaoyi had made for him, as well as the hair that Ya Zi had given him, before daring to go downstairs.
The lights downstairs were bright. When Xiaobaicai went down, she could clearly see a humanoid object covered in blood lying at the entrance of the management office. Because the formation had just been triggered, the stairwell was still emitting a golden light.
Little Cabbage cautiously went downstairs and called out to the person, "Hey, how are you? Who are you?"
A few minutes later, everyone who was investigating the case outside received a call from Xiaobaicai. The caller said that the kidnapped and missing monkey demon had escaped and was now at their management office!
When everyone rushed back, they found that the monkey demon was too badly injured to provide them with any useful information. So they had no choice but to send the human—no, the demon—to the hospital for treatment.
The next day, after the monkey demon's injuries had stabilized a bit, he told everyone about the kidnapping. It turned out that he and the other demons had been captured along with the humans by a few evil cultivators who wanted to practice evil magic.
The monkey demon escaped after great difficulty, but the others who were imprisoned have not yet managed to escape, so the management staff need to rescue them as soon as possible.
After obtaining the address of the detainees, the group set off. Before departing, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi sent notifications to the various metaphysical families.
Because in the world of metaphysics, evil cultivators have always been the targets of suppression and expulsion, this time not only are the management personnel going to arrest evil cultivators, but even the major families will send people to assist.
"Damn it! How could you idiots judge people like that? You even let a monkey get away! Now look what's happened, our academic research hasn't even been successful, and we're about to be exposed!"
In the basement of an uninhabited building on the outskirts of the city, a bald man in his fifties was angrily berating two young men.
The two young men who were being scolded didn't dare to talk back and could only lower their heads and silently endure the scolding.
Behind them were several injured humans or monsters who were tied up, and two middle-aged men were experimenting on them with strange talismans and magical artifacts.
At that moment, a bald man, who was about thirty years old, came down the stairs above the basement.
This person was very fat, so fat that he could barely walk steadily, and his flesh jiggled violently with every step.
As soon as he came down, he said to the man who was still cursing, "Alright, Lao Li, stop cursing them. That monkey is cunning by nature. We can't blame them entirely for running away. Let's move to another place quickly. We definitely can't stay here any longer."
After hearing this, Old Li couldn't bring himself to curse anymore. He just glared at the two young men and said angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things and move to another place!"
The two young men nodded and bowed quickly, saying in unison, "Yes, we'll go right away."
After the two men left, the very fat man said, "How's it going? Have you seen any results in the last few days?"
One of the people still conducting the experiment said, "It's showing some progress, but I don't have enough people. You need to go and capture a few more for me. We don't need to bring back the monsters; as long as they don't die, we can continue."
The fat man nodded and said, "Yeah, it's hard to catch people these days. I'm already pretty good that I found these few homeless people. In the future, I guess I can only find homeless people or people living alone. Just make do for now. We'll find a good place first and then find people for you."
"Yes, that's fine."
Just as these people were about to take the tied-up people out of the basement, the two young men who were originally packing up to leave rushed back into the basement.
"Oh no, Master! A lot of people have arrived outside, and we even saw police cars. What should we do? Are we going to be arrested?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately wrinkled his face, which was covered in fat. He calmly said, "Don't panic. Let us see what's going on. If it's just ordinary police officers, then there's nothing to worry about."
The two young men, who had been quite flustered, calmed down immediately after hearing the fat man's words. They knew the fat man's abilities, so they felt much more at ease.
Just as calm as the fat man were two other people conducting experiments. They also appeared composed, as if the arrival of anyone was none of their concern.
The fat man first asked Old Li to bring a basin of water, then cast a spell and dropped a paper talisman with a strange pattern on it. The talisman quickly caught fire on its own, and then they saw the scene outside the basement in the basin of water.
A large group of people appeared in the basin, including staff from the management office and masters from various sects.
Upon seeing this, Old Li immediately exclaimed, "Damn, there are so many people outside! It seems like not only the police but also people from the metaphysical world have come. What should we do?"
Although the fat man was surprised by the large number of people who came, he was not afraid. He just chuckled and said, "Heh~ You've come at the right time. I was just about to try out the treasure I just made."
Old Li, who was worried about whether he could escape, immediately calmed down after hearing what the fat man said. He smiled slyly and said, "Oh right, I forgot you still have your treasure. It's been refined for so long, it's time to release it and test its effects."
