But the righteousness she felt on this talisman was a bit strange.

The light is mixed with a bit of hypocritical darkness, the strong and greatness is also a bit of humility...

There was a illusion that was almost contradictory, which was completely different from the former. It was precisely because of this that she could eliminate Du Bai's suspicion so quickly.

"But... why did that person with righteousness kill us and other demons?"

Yue Ning couldn't figure it out in her heart, and there was no good way to catch the other party for the time being. Or even if she knew the other party's identity, it would be difficult to get close to them as their ghosts, let alone take revenge...

"I will investigate the identity of the murderer in the near future. You should be careful here, and it is difficult to guarantee whether the other party will take action again!"

After she could only give this advice, she returned to the pleasure boat with doubts.

At the same time, in a cheap inn in Yuanyang City, a young man locked the doors and windows, had a gloomy face, and took out a package from under the bed. He opened a rich smell of blood and rushed over, and inside were two beasts with a slight ray of inspiration...

"The ceremony you mentioned has been almost done. Now I just need to eat these two hearts?" He stared at the package and whispered.

"Of course it's OK."

A sinister voice sounded in his ears, "Just eat them, you can become like those prodigy... No, it's even more powerful than them. There is no one in Yuanyang City who can steal your position as the head of the case!"

The boy was silent.

He recalled the scenes he saw when he accidentally attended a party organized by the candidates this year two days ago, and his eyes were flickering.

He thought that he was diligent and hardworking in his studies, and he memorized all the poems and books he wanted to take in the imperial examination. He thought that he would not be weaker than others. Even if he did not rely on these evil techniques, he would have competitive power for the case leader.

However, he was wrong!

He would never have thought that no matter how hard he worked over the past ten years, he could not compare to the extraordinary talents of those so-called child prodigy!

He saw with his own eyes that a child who was only ten years old could quote scriptures and eloquently persuaded a group of scholars who were twice as old as this person. He also saw a twelve-year-old boy who could recite poems and write a good sentence at the same time, which made countless people feel inferior to themselves...

How can he compare? How can he compare? What can he rely on to compare with them?!

"talent!"

He gritted his teeth and only then did he truly realize that the voice had been telling his talent in his mind that it was so crucial!

A person with extraordinary talent can catch up with his hard work for more than ten years with just a little effort...

How could he be content with this!

Staring at the two hearts, he remembered the scene after he was killed, and finally he made up his mind, trembling his hands slowly stretched towards the hearts of the two demon clans...

"Eat, eat... As long as you eat, you will be extremely smart and no one is as good as you!" The gloomy voice smiled coldly, as if it was ridiculous, and as if it was a trick. Unfortunately, the young man had no intention of distinguishing.

Because when the first mouthful entered his throat, the strong spicy and choking bloody smell made him almost vomit, and tears almost fascinated his eyes, and tears were really flowing...

But he forced himself to restrain himself and swallowed hard.

In the early morning, Zhou Shize had already arranged affairs by his subordinates, and he himself took the young master to the road to the neighboring county.

He did not intend to make a big move on this trip, but just went out in plain clothes. After all, this trip was just to help that friend's friend's favor.

The distance between Qingyang City and the neighboring county is indeed not too far, but in the morning, I had already arrived in front of the county government gate.

Zhou Shize got off the carriage and looked at the surrounding scene.

This county town is called Yong'an County. Unlike Qingyang City, which has always been unwilling to accept discipline and is stubborn and ignorant and backward, everything here is ordinary, with academic museums and vendors from other places. As the county trial approaches, scholars coming to study can be seen everywhere on the road. People shout that it is not as lively as the city, but it is also quite popular.

Zhou Shize felt something in his heart and sighed slightly.

Although Qingyang City has improved after that night, the barbaric concepts that are almost deeply rooted in people's hearts will be changed and it will take a long time to work hard.

The first thing is to bring a normal life to the people...

Seeing that he was still in place, the master did not dare to leave for a moment, so he had to wait silently.

Just as they were wandering at the door, the yamen runners in front of the county magistrate who were in charge of guarding the gate noticed their strangeness and felt suspicious. The two of them took the hilt of the knife in their hands and walked forward a few steps and asked loudly, "Who are you, why are you stranded in front of the government? Be careful if you disturb the county magistrate, you will be punished!"

The master hurried forward to stop him and said, "Bold, this is Lord Zhou from Qingyang, don't be rude when you wait! Send someone to inform your master, and just say that we will come to visit us specifically and request a meeting!"

"Mr. Zhou?"

The few yamen runners did not recognize Lord Zhou, but seeing that the other party had an extraordinary temperament, they did not look like an ordinary person, so they did not dare to neglect for a moment, so they quickly sent someone in.

After a while, the yamen runner who had already gone inside to report came out, and a young man with a greasy and pink face quickly followed behind him, with a slightly impatient expression. When he walked to the threshold and saw Zhou Shize and the others outside the door, he hurried forward to avenge him.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm really negligent just now. It's just because the government office is not peaceful recently, so I'm so vigilant. After my family got the news, they immediately sent a young man to greet him. Please come in with me."

He is the rank of Yong'an County and the right-hand man of the county magistrate here. Because of his active mind and good means, he is also the one whom he trusts the most. He had collected portraits of officials from surrounding counties and wealthy masters before, and kept it in mind to avoid delaying things. Now, when he saw it, he immediately recognized it.

"It's okay."

Zhou Shize had no intention of making things difficult for the other party. He just followed the other party in, remembering what the other party said just now, and asked in confusion, "I just don't know what you said just now... What does it mean?"

"this……"

The master's face froze, then pretended to be nothing, and he smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the mansion found something missing a few days ago. The master was worried that some thief in the world was causing trouble, and he was also angry that my servants were not doing things well, so he was furious..."

"We have sent troops to search, and we must have a whereabouts soon, and the storm should be settled." He seemed worried and explained more as if he added.

"Oh, so that's it."
