After the opening ceremony of Mingzhu Academy, Zizhou also prepared to go to the Hunter Alliance to take on some tasks. He couldn't let himself be idle. Now he has a certain level of strength, but there are still many things that cannot be made up for in experience.
"Mo Fan, I'm going to the Hunter Alliance to take on some missions. Do you want to go?"
It was rare for Zizhou to talk to Mo Fan on the phone. Everyone was busy with their own things during this period and they hadn't talked for a long time. Zizhou didn't know what Mo Fan was doing during this period, but he often heard students in the school call Mo Fan the big devil.
But he didn't know that his title in Mingzhu Academy was no less than Mo Fan's. Now everyone was secretly calling Zizhou the Snow Prince. After all, it's because he's very handsome, and his temperament when interacting with others is very cold, which is very consistent with their title.
"Ah? I've checked. Because I didn't reach the elite hunter level last time, I found a job as a hunter mage at the Qingtian Hunting House."
"Qingtian Hunting House? Is it reliable?"
Zizhou was very afraid that his friends would be cheated.
"You are unreliable! Our Qingtian Hunting Ground is one of the best! Humph!"
Um, who is this? Zizhou listened to the voice that was obviously a little girl
"Mo Fan, who is this? Are you at the Qingtian Hunting Ground?"
Mo Fan quickly took back the phone and rubbed Lingling's head hard.
"Ah, it's just a little kid. I can't go now. We have a mission here and can't leave now."
Zizhou didn't care. He just wanted to ask Mo Fan if he wanted to go. If Mo Fan had something to do, he wouldn't force him.
"Okay, you can call me if you need anything."
Since Mo Fan wasn't going, Zizhou planned to go by himself.
This time when Zizhou went to the Hunter Alliance to register his information, there was a task introduced to him by the lady at the front desk.
A demon appeared in a village, but when the wizard went to check, he found no trace of the demon. Over time, no one took up this task.
“When was this mission sent out?”
Zizhou consciously handed a stack of red bills to the front desk, and the young lady put the money in her pocket in surprise.
"Sir, this mission has been issued for half a year. More than a dozen magic hunters have gone to check it out, but they haven't found anything. However, one magic hunter seemed to say that the village is too remote, and innocent villagers often disappear, but there are no signs of demons. Also, the villagers there are a little strange. They hope that they can get rid of the demons, but they don't want the magic hunters to check their village. Don't you think it's strange?"
The front desk clerk has told Zizhou what he knew, and Zizhou is very satisfied with her information. It can be said that with this information, Zizhou has the confidence to take on this task.
"Okay, thank you for the information."
The front desk clerk smiled politely and answered very politely.
"You're welcome. If you need anything next time, you can contact me. Here is my business card."
After saying that, the receptionist handed her business card to Zizhou, who took it and put it in his shirt pocket.
Based on the information posted by the poster, Zizhou deduced that the place called Qingshui Village should have something other than demons, but as for what it was, he still had to investigate.
After reporting to his parents, Zizhou packed up and went to the mission location - Qingshui Village.
Zizhou did not look for the person who issued the task in Qingshui Village. Since many magic hunters had come here to investigate before, the person who issued the task did not have any useful information.
Zizhou disguised himself as a tourist. He didn't carry anything related to the mission, but he really looked like an explorer.
"Auntie, is there any hotel here? When I walked over here, I found that it was going to rain, and it's not convenient to set up a tent outside now." Zizhou's handsome face and sincere tone quickly gained the aunt's trust.
"Ah, we don't have a hotel here! How about this, young man? You can stay at your aunt's house for two days. It will take a long time to get to the next village if you leave here."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zizhou happily followed the aunt to her home.
This aunt was very welcoming and did not accept the accommodation fee given by Zizhou. However, Zizhou discovered that there was no one else in this aunt's house, but there were clearly traces of other people in her house.
"Auntie, why are you alone?"
As Zizhou spoke, the aunt's hand slowly fell, her face was filled with sadness, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.
"My wife went missing some time ago. I have been looking for her for a long time, but there is no news."
Zizhou was at a loss when he saw the aunt crying. He was very unfamiliar with such situations and really didn't know how to comfort the aunt.
"Auntie, do you know when uncle disappeared? Did anything happen here at that time?"
The most urgent thing for Zizhou now is to catch the culprit here, otherwise many more people will be killed.
"That's not the case. It's just that half a year ago our village chief seemed to entertain a lot of people. I only heard their voices but didn't see them. The next day, even the village chief felt something was different."
The aunt carefully recalled what had happened during this period, and she had a feeling that this young man might really find her partner.
Finally, Zizhou summarized the information about this aunt, which was that strange things happened in this village half a year ago, and that the village chief should have brought someone back, but no one knew who it was. Was it because the person he brought back had a secret that could not be told?
In this way, Zizhou temporarily lived in this aunt's house. He found that many people seldom went out, and he had secretly observed the village chief, but he did not find any behavior from him for the time being. The expression of the village chief was a little strange, he was excited and crazy.

It's night
Zizhou didn't sleep today and he didn't even change his clothes. He felt that something was wrong in the whole village today and maybe something would happen tonight. So he specifically told his aunt not to go out no matter what noise she heard, and to hide if possible.
Zizhou hid his figure with the help of the night. He ran towards the village chief's house. He quietly jumped to the window of the building, lay down beside it, and looked inside carefully.
I saw that the village chief was sitting in the study, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand. It was a little small, so Zizhou couldn't see clearly. However, with the help of the false eye, Zizhou saw a small corner, which seemed to be a black stone.
At this time, someone knocked on the study door and a middle-aged woman came in.
"Village leader, the master is calling you."
"Oh, I'll be there right away. You prepare those people first. If the master comes later, hand them over to him."
"yes!"
When Zizhou heard the village chief talking about "those people", he thought they must be the people who disappeared some time ago. I didn't expect that the real "demon" of this village might be the village chief.
The village chief and the middle-aged woman were waiting at the door.
Not long after, several dark shadows walked out from the darkness. The leader was a young man, but the disdain in his eyes was clearly displayed.
"Where's the person I want?!"
"Master, I have prepared it a long time ago. Can you give me one of the treasures you mentioned last time?"
But the man glanced at the village chief and smiled disdainfully.
"Okay, since you want it, just make one yourself. There are so many people anyway. If you can make it by then, it will be yours."
When the village chief heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He rubbed his hands together excitedly, and the greed in his eyes was not concealed at all.
The few people who came with the young man had already gone to the basement of the village chief's house with the middle-aged woman and brought out a few people. Zizhou knew one of them was the spouse of a certain aunt. He had seen the family photo in the aunt's house. It seemed that he had been hungry for several days, but at least he was alive.
