After saying goodbye to Xia Ziheng, Xu Yinian seemed to have lost his soul.

Xia Ziheng's words kept echoing in his mind, and Xu Yinian barely restrained his emotions. He still remembered that Yu Huai asked him to go back to his apartment in Nanhai City after meeting with Xia Ziheng. Xu Yinian walked back in confusion.

As soon as he entered the door, the warm lights in the entrance were flowing down like water, but Xu Yinian felt cold all over. He forgot to change his shoes and walked to the sofa in a daze to sit down. Although he didn't want to believe Xia Yan's words, he knew.

It was impossible for the other party to be innocent, so he left clues to Tang Fei for Xia Ziheng.

Xu Yinian subconsciously wanted to contact Yu Huai, but when he thought that Yu Huai was interrogating Chao Zi at the Nanhai Branch, he put down his phone.

When Yu Huai came back, the light in the living room was dim, with only a few decorative sensor lights on. He called Xu Yinian's name and turned on the living room lights. The room suddenly became as bright as day, and Yu Huai walked towards the sofa.

go.

When Xu Yinian saw him, he opened his mouth subconsciously, but couldn't say a word. Noticing his pale face, Yu Huai asked, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Xu Yinian raised his head, looked at Yu Huai's face under the light, and said with a trembling voice, "My master... there may be something wrong."

Yu Huai was slightly startled, sat down next to him, and held his hand: "It's okay. Speak slowly."

For the first time, he felt that Xu Yinian's body temperature was lower than his own. Yu Huai stood up and poured hot water for him. After taking a few sips, Xu Yinian slowly recovered and faced Yu Huai's worried gaze.

Xu Yinian whispered: "Xia Yan left a message for Xia Ziheng."

He recounted what happened in the cafe, and after that, Yu Huai's expression gradually darkened. Xu Yinian held Yu Huai's hand, like a drowning person holding a piece of driftwood: "Xia Ziheng said

, the information Xia Yan left for him cannot be wrong, if? It’s really like this...Master, he...he...!"

Xu Yinian couldn't talk anymore. Pictures of getting along with Tang Fei flashed through his mind, from now to five years ago, and then to earlier times... When he was ten years old, the fortune teller calculated his bad luck.

The Demon Slayer Bureau attaches great importance to the evil spirit's fate, and for a long time, his every move has been secretly monitored.

His parents found a way to contact Tang Fei, hoping that the other party would accept him as a disciple. Xu's mother had almost no expectations at that time, but Tang Fei agreed. With this relationship, Tang Fei, in a certain sense

As his supervisor, the Demon Slayer Bureau no longer keeps a close eye on Xu Yinian.

When he was rebellious, he was ignorant, and sometimes he would even lose his temper with Tang Fei. Whenever this happened, Xu's mother, who had always been gentle, would sternly scold him: If Tang Fei hadn't been there, how many pairs would he have now?

Looking at him, when Xu Yinian is older and understands what kind of responsibilities Tang Fei has, he will be embarrassed to act nonsense again.

After spending many years together, Tang Fei was like a family member in his heart.

"Nian Nian, you don't need it? Why do you think about him?" Yu Huai hugged him into his arms and stroked his thin back. Where Xu Yinian couldn't see, Yu Huai's eyes revealed a bone-chilling murderous intent.

He had a deeper suspicion in his mind, but Xu Yinian was emotionally unstable and he did not say it immediately.

The person in his arms clung to his shoulders, as if trying to draw warmth and strength from him. After a long time, Xu Yinian took a deep breath: "How are you doing there? What did she say to Chao Zi?...

…Is there anything? Is there anything related to my master?”

Yu Huai looked at his forced composure and felt a little distressed, but followed Xu Yinian's wishes and told him about the interrogation.

"Chao Zi was depressed and had no response no matter what she asked. Song Qi had to order someone to use some means to get a confession from her."

According to her, she and the Phantom Demon Clan were accomplices in the massacre of the Ghost Clan. She began to pay attention to Yu Huai after the fall of the Phantom Demon Clan, but the latter’s whereabouts were too difficult to track, and she did not dare to risk taking action in the Free Port.

, she has never been able to find the right time. The news about the laboratory and the black tower completely stimulated her, and she realized that the next step would be to investigate her. She became murderous towards Chao Zi and decided to strike first.

She spent her teenage years in the boneyard, and had some connections there. When she heard that Yu Huai had entered the boneyard, and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Chaozi immediately decided to take action.

She pulled the entire intelligence point into the game, and then led people into the villa, both to protect these players - once they were injured or dead, she herself would be harmed to the same extent; and at the same time, to besiege them

Yuhuai.

She originally planned to release Yu Huai alone first, and deliberately adjusted the difficulty of his game to easy. She planned to kill him the moment Yu Huai disconnected from her and regained consciousness. But she didn't think about the process of performing the operation.

Something went wrong, and the person who came out first accidentally fell into the trap of Xu Yinian. What made her even more unexpected was that the news was leaked at some point, and Qiluo actually appeared at the boneyard.

"Chao Zi said that Qi Luo's genocide plan began eight years ago, and the real time may be earlier."

Since the promulgation of the Peaceful Coexistence Ordinance, many monsters have complained deeply. Chao Zi was born in a boneyard. After returning to normal society, she found it difficult to adapt to many rules and regulations. She has accumulated grudges against Xuan Tan and the ghost clan.

Long ago, eight years ago, when Qiluo came to visit, Chao Zi did not hesitate to join the other party's plan.

Xu Yinian was stunned: "Eight years ago..."

If Tang Fei is indeed related to the genocide of the ghost clan, when did he join? And what role did he play in it?

Xu Yinian's expression was too ugly. Yu Huai knew what he was thinking, so he squeezed his wrist gently and continued: "She said that she and Qiluo were not familiar with each other. Apart from the boneyard, the last time they met was in

When killing the ghost clan."

Chao Zi didn't know who Qi Luo was. This person was extremely mysterious and he rarely met her in the years when he was preparing for the operation. When they met at the boneyard, Chao Zi didn't react immediately, but he didn't expect Qi Luo to be there.

Attacked Yu Huai directly - Yu Huai was deeply involved in the game at that time and was directly connected to Chao Zi's life. The subordinates she brought tried hard to stop them, but they were all killed by Qi Luo alone? What a coincidence, Xu

Yi Nian woke up at this time and escaped from the intelligence point with Yu Huai.

Chao Zi understood that Qi Luo wanted to use her ability to kill Yu Huai, and even planned to kill her as well. He got into a fight with Qi Luo in anger. During the fight, Qi Luo wanted to kill other players by attacking her.

Death? She cut off the future troubles. Forcibly cutting off contact with these players requires a fox tail. Chao Zi Wuxia has no time to release the ability, so she can only try to stop her. When Yu Huai and Xu Yinian arrived, she was restrained by others and was almost taken by Qi Luo.

Although she risked her life, she also seriously injured Qiluo.

"It's consistent with what we saw..." After listening to Chao Zi's confession, Xu Yinian carefully recalled the scene he saw that day.

But Yu Huai shook his head: "There may be something wrong with her rhetoric. In some places, she didn't explain it in detail."

Xu Yinian looked at him.

"The timing of Chao Zi entering the boneyard was so coincidental, she was almost in tandem with Lan."

"Lan was deliberately brought into the East District of the Bone Burial Ground. Chao Zi was born in the Bone Burial Ground and is probably related to the head of the East District. That old rock demon has a grudge against me. What if? She told him - 'Just bring Lan

If we bring it in, sophora japonica will also appear?', and the mayor of the Eastern District will probably do so."

All the clues were gradually connected, but Xu Yinian felt that something had been missed, until Yu Huai said the key: "There is no way Chao Zi knows that I am looking for Lan."

Xu Yinian suddenly realized that he and Yu Huai had broken up on bad terms at the graduation ceremony, and Yu Huai would definitely find out his fortune... it could only be Tang Fei.

Yu Huai had already made a rough guess in his mind. No wonder Yu Huai didn't show too much surprise when he told the news about Xia Ziheng.

"Tang Fei's ability is related to light, right?" Seeing Xu Yinian nodding, Yu Huai continued, "Qiluo's ability is also related to light. Although this is a common ability, but? Add to that the clue just now...

...Can you command her to use it? Lan led me into the boneyard and asked her to obey the instructions... It was basically Qiluo. She and Qiluo - or? Let's talk about Tang Fei, were not as innocent as she said?

Relevance.”

"However, everything is still speculation." Yu Huai paused for a moment, "Even now, there is no evidence that can directly prove that Tang Fei is related to the massacre of the ghost clan, and the same goes for the exchange of fates."

Xu Yinian didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, his lips moved slightly, and his low voice echoed in the living room: "...if he really did those things, he should be punished."

Since Xia Yan admitted his crime on the trial stand, the Demon Slayer General Administration has paid special attention to incidents involving the massacre of ghosts. Chao Zi's trial is scheduled for this weekend and will be a small-scale private trial. Those who are eligible to attend are demon slayers.

The top management of the bureau made an exception to allow Yu Huai to participate due to special circumstances.

After the tedious process, Chao Zi confessed to all the crimes on the trial stand. Banshee's eyes were sunken due to lack of sleep, with some bloodshot eyes, and her lips were also split. Even so, her appearance remained...

With the unique charm of the fox demon clan, the young recorder looked at her and lost his mind several times.

Song Qi lowered his voice and said to Yu Huai: "This week, no matter what method she uses, she has never given out more information, insisting that she has nothing to do with Qiluo."

Yu Huai looked at Chao Zi. When the presiding judge announced the result, she raised her eyes slightly and dropped her eyes to the jury. After passing by like a dragonfly, Chao Zi lowered her eyes again, showing that she was not interested in anything.

.

He didn't come.

Chao Zi tried her best to suppress her emotions, not daring to show any abnormality, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart.

She had done so much for him, and she didn't even say a word when those exorcists forced her to confess, but he didn't even want to see her for the last time.

After a second thought, she smiled to herself again.

What else did she expect? When he took action, her position in his heart was already clear: from beginning to end, that person only regarded her as a tool.

As long as Chao Zi can remember, the fox demon clan has been fighting constantly. When she was young, her father, the head of the family, died tragically at the hands of the clan, and her mother was not spared either. A slightly softer elder threw her into the family out of consideration for their old relationship.

After entering the boneyard, witnessing the death of his parents with his own eyes, and being thrown into such a chaotic place, Chao Zi resented his fellow clan members to the extreme and vowed to make them pay with their blood.

With her belief in revenge, she struggled to survive in the boneyard. She was too weak, but she had a good appearance, coupled with the natural charm of the fox demon clan.

, in the first few years, she chose to cling to the powerful monster clan. Later, as her strength gradually increased, Chao Zi no longer needed to look at anyone's face. She met many monsters and heard about ways to leave. By then, her strength had already

Quite tyrannical, comparable to the district chief. When he got the cursed bead, Chao Zi thought that he could finally fulfill his long-cherished wish and take revenge.

But she overestimated herself and almost lost her life because of it.

She had just come out of the boneyard. She thought that strength was everything, but she never thought that the outside world was far more complicated than the boneyard. She was alone in searching for her old enemy. There were many people in the enemy's body, and she was not able to kill him successfully.

The mastermind was inexplicably accused of a bunch of crimes, and even the Demon Slayer Bureau was chasing her. Chao Zi almost died several times? Under the pursuit.

Only then did she realize that she had been disconnected from the normal world for too long. Even if she killed all her enemies and regained her position as the head of the family, she would not be able to manage the family at all.

Just when Chao Zi felt desperate, the man reached out to her.

She never dreamed that someone would help her at this time. That person killed all her enemies with her, helped her clear her name in the Demon Slayer Bureau, and taught her how to manage the family step by step. Obviously, the two of them

Although they are similar in age, Chao Zi's methods and abilities are far inferior to him.

When she finally regained her position as the head of the fox demon clan, Chao Zi knelt in front of her parents' tombstones and cried with joy. He stood not far away, quietly watching her expression of joy and sorrow.

"Congratulations," he said to her.
