Chapter 217 Mr. Zhang, isn't this a violation of labor law?
Although this analysis sounded very logical and reasonable, since the suspects in the first three cases were currently being held in the detention center in B City, Zhang Mo still decided to take Jiu Xuan to see them and confirm whether these three also possessed demonic energy.
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the group immediately boarded a private jet and arrived in City B.
On the way to the detention center, Qin Yuechuan watched the street scenes rushing past the car window, his heart pounding with anxiety. He secretly glanced at Zhang Mo sitting next to him and saw that Zhang Mo had her arms crossed, her brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought as well.
They finally arrived at the detention center, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive. The high walls, the cold iron gates, and the heavily armed guards sent chills down their spines. After showing his identification, Qin Yuechuan led the group inside.
The first person they encountered was the deliveryman who had stabbed his best friend to death with a shard of a beer bottle in the first case. Through the thick glass, Zhang Mo carefully examined the haggard-looking man. His eyes were vacant, his hair disheveled, and his face was etched with exhaustion and numbness.
Next, they went to see the KTV waitress and the old lady who lit the fire.
It's clear that even without plastic surgery, the waiter was once a handsome young man. But now, his double eyelids are so wide they're almost deformed, resembling two deep ravines that abruptly lie above his eyes, completely disrupting the original harmony of his face.
When he tried to blink, it was even more heartbreaking. His eyelids seemed to be filled with lead; each lift and fall was accompanied by a difficult tremor, pulling at the surrounding skin. His bizarre appearance was like that of a cursed doll, stiff and distorted.
Then there's the old lady who lost her son and granddaughter.
She was not in a regular single room, but in a hospital ward.
She lay quietly on the pristine white hospital bed, her entire body wrapped in layers of gauze. The gauze was wrapped tightly around her face and hands, and in some places, dark red blood seeped out, staining the white gauze in a shocking and silent way, telling the story of the severity of her injuries.
Zhang Mo asked in a low voice, "This is...?"
Qin Yuechuan replied with a solemn expression and a low voice, "When the alcohol was lit, it exploded, and she was also affected."
Even so, she kept murmuring that she had no regrets.
One can imagine how deep that hatred must have been.
As she walked, Jiu Xuan's expression grew increasingly grim, as if shrouded in gloom.
Zhang Mo knew that Jiu Xuan had figured something out.
After moving to a separate meeting room, Zhang Mo finally asked, "How was it?"
Jiu Xuan's face was full of worry as she whispered, "Zhu Jiuyin, all four of them have Zhu Jiuyin's demonic aura on them."
Qin Yuechuan acted swiftly, already projecting the search results onto the large screen.
Zhu Jiuyin, also known as Zhulong.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness North, records: "Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of the Red River, there is Mount Zhangwei. There is a god with a human face and a snake's body, and is red. He has straight eyes and rides upright. When he closes his eyes, it is dark; when he opens them, it is bright. He neither eats, sleeps, nor breathes. He summons wind and rain. This is Zhujiuyin, also known as Zhulong."
It has a human face, a snake's body, and is entirely crimson red.
It controls day and night, regulates the four seasons, and can summon wind and rain; it is an extremely powerful mythical beast.
Zhang Mo stared at the screen, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "'When it closes its eyes, it is darkness; when it opens its eyes, it is light.' This means that when the Candle Dragon closes its eyes, the world falls into darkness, which is night; when it opens its eyes, the world is filled with light, which is daytime."
Therefore, in many stories, the Candle Dragon plays the role of a time controller.
Jiu Xuan nodded and added, "Yes, Xi Xi can control time, foresee the future, and even travel through time."
Zhang Youxuan looked curious and couldn't help but ask, "Xixi? Who is this?"
Jiu Xuan explained, "Long Xi, that's her name. I'm used to calling her that."
Qin Yuechuan's eyes lit up, excited because he had finally found a breakthrough: "So, to put it bluntly, this is this great god's act of bravery?"
To be fair, this is already the best possible outcome.
They had even previously analyzed whether this could be some kind of infectious disease similar to the zombie virus in movies.
That would be terrible; the whole country could descend into chaos!
Jiu Xuan frowned: "Xi Xi is kind-hearted and compassionate by nature. She often uses her abilities to quietly remind others."
For example, it could give someone a sudden premonition of something bad, causing them to cancel their plans to go out and thus avoid a car accident.
Zhang Youxuan's eyes widened in amazement. "Wow, that's amazing!"
Zhang Mo, a loyal fan of "Final Destination 12345", nodded. She knew it; she had watched it many times.
“But…” Jiu Xuan’s tone shifted, her worry deepening, “This would require her to expend her cultivation to bear the consequences. Hundreds of years ago, I warned her not to do it. And she agreed.”
But she still does it now, always choosing to do so after the damage is already irreparable.
In the first case, after the agreement was completed, all the loaned money was transferred away by the "good brother".
The second instance occurred after the cosmetic surgery had already been completed.
The third incident occurred after the car accident.
The fourth incident occurred after both children had already died.
This is not Long Xi's style.
Zhang Youxuan also realized: "That's right, if we were to give a warning, why couldn't we do it a little earlier? Putting aside everything else, in that car accident, if we had given a warning even a minute earlier, maybe that father and granddaughter wouldn't have died."
“Because…every minute earlier, there will be two more lives lost in the karmic consequences.” Zhang Mo looked at Jiu Xuan. “And Zhu Jiuyin’s current condition is no longer able to bear any more karmic consequences. Perhaps it’s his physical condition, perhaps it’s his cultivation level, but he’s encountered some trouble, right?”
(Here's a setting: for example, if the father and granddaughter were supposed to die, but Zhu Jiuyin saved them, then that would be her karma. She would have to pay a heavy price for the karma of two lives.)
However, instead of saving the woman, he only informed her of the aftermath of the accident. The woman herself chose to kill the driver. This was her own karma. Zhu Jiuyin didn't need to pay much of a price.
It's not particularly rigorous, but you should be able to understand the general meaning.
But this leads to another strange point.
If there's really a problem with her cultivation, then she shouldn't care about these things at all.
It's like this: if a normal person doesn't have the money to buy new clothes, they will choose not to buy them, rather than spending less money to buy just one sleeve.
Jiu Xuan's eyes were full of worry, and her tone was anxious: "That's impossible. She was fine when I saw her last time."
Qin Yuechuan politely asked, "When was the last time you met this great master?"
Jiu Xuan couldn't remember either: "Not long ago, fifty years ago?"
Qin Yuechuan, Zhang Mo, and Zhang Youxuan: "..."
Jiu Xuan felt she should explain: "For the dragon race, a period of seclusion can easily last for a hundred years, and fifty years is just a blink of an eye."
Zhang Mo: "Okay. In short, what we can confirm now is that the matter was caused by Zhu Jiuyin. Once we find Zhu Jiuyin, everything will be clear."
Jiu Xuan: "But I don't know where she is now. Over the years, I have tried to find her, but I have not been able to find any trace of her."
"Why don't you let me give it a try?" Zhang Mo said, opening an app on her phone called "Employee Location Monitoring System".
It was a map software, and two red dots named "Langyue" and "Langxing" were flashing in the location of W City.
Qin Yuechuan: "...Mr. Zhang, isn't this a violation of labor law?"
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry about the details."
