beauty and the beast

Probably the confusion on Zhang Lie's face was too obvious, and in such a deep night, it seemed that he was too deserted without saying anything. It was rare for Bai Yin to open up and explain to Zhang Lie.

"This thing didn't just appear recently. It's impossible to know exactly when it appeared and who invented this method, but according to the records in our archives, it has existed for hundreds of years. It's just that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the crackdown by 001 Great, the monks from all walks of life are safe and sound, and we haven't seen each other for a long time." He blamed himself a little, "so much so that I didn't think of this aspect yesterday."

"There are rumors about why this thing appeared. Do you know Tongtian Tower?" Bai Yin suddenly said a name.

Zhang Lie thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be in the "Bible", but how could it be related to the "Bible"?

Without even looking at him, Bai Yin guessed what he was thinking, and denied, "It has nothing to do with foreign countries. The Tongtian Tower I'm talking about is a legend circulated among demon cultivators."

"I heard that as early as the prehistoric period, demons and human beings coexisted. At that time, human beings were weak and the demon race ruled the world. It's just that the demon race was too cruel. When human beings reached the stage where they could not survive, they broke out in resistance. The war lasted for many years. In the end, the demon emperor took most of the demon clan to leave this time and space, and human beings built a tower to reach the sky on the way they left, cutting off the way back for the demon clan. It is said that Once the Tongtian Tower is opened, the Demon Emperor will come to the world again with the demon clan."

"Why haven't I heard of this legend? There is no such thing in the history books." No matter how Zhang Lie thought about it, he felt that it was wrong. In the prehistoric period, wasn't that the kind of thing that created the world? "Also, what does this have to do with this matter?"

Bai Yin didn't explain it to him. This is something the Yaozu knew innately, but continued, "Of course it has something to do with it. Although the Yaozu has a long lifespan, it can't be stopped. Some demons are too ambitious. Like the old and the young, they hope that one day, the Tower of Tongtian will be opened, and the Demon King will bring the demon clan to the earth again, making this place the world of demons. Therefore, they need a longer lifespan."

"This is what they came up with?" Zhang Lie didn't dare to believe it, and used human life to extend his own life. He thought of the youthful Pan Yingying in the photo, and suddenly felt that it was too cruel.

Bai Yin nodded in agreement, "Yes. In the beginning, it was all for survival. Especially before the founding of the country, there was no force to manage these monsters, so this kind of thing was very common. But you know, monsters, like people, like to enjoy life. species, and soon, under their large-scale use, they discovered another benefit of this thing."

Zhang Lie suddenly became curious, "You mean having fun? How can you have fun?"

"Compress ten years and take it in one bite, and you will experience a time-explosive impact." Bai Yin described, "It's like... this thing is like a drug, it will make the user feel as if they are in a fairyland, and their consciousness will be completely Vague."

Zhang Lie was stunned suddenly, no wonder Bai Yin lied about giving him a drink, and even made intimate gestures with his arms around him, that's what he meant.

He blushed a little, but he couldn't bear the surprise after all, he looked down at the glorious years in his arms, ten years, just for one time of happiness?

Bai Yin obviously knew what kind of impact this kind of thing would have on a child who hadn't experienced much in the world, especially for a simple and kind-hearted person like Zhang Lie, it might take a while to digest.He didn't continue talking, but turned his head and started driving the car intently.

When Zhang Lie woke up from the confusion, pain, and helplessness, the car had already parked under an unremarkable two-story building, and Bai Yin said as he got out of the car, "Let's go, deal with things first. .”

Waiting to get inside, Zhang Lie found out that this is a branch office of 001 in the capital. Although it was late at night, there were still many monks on duty. Bai Yin probably contacted him in advance through some method. As soon as Zhang Lie showed up, there were already many people waiting for him in the hall. The leader was a strong man with a height of two meters. They called him the Bear Team.

Bai Yin's words were also very simple, "It's a big case, there should be an underground gang, and Zheng Dong is only a part of it. Now that I have bought Zheng Dong for ten years, he may soon know that there is a problem, and first find a way to take Zheng Dong away." Dong, don't startle the snake. You check Zheng Dong's information first, it should be a vixen, I wrote down his appearance, and I will draw it for you right away."

The Bears over there seemed to be very cooperative with him, and they were all applauded.

Zhang Lie was still in the surprise of how Bai Yin knew that Zheng Dong was a vixen, and then he saw Bai Yin randomly took a piece of A4 paper, and used a 2B pencil to smear on it. His slender and powerful hands were fast His movements were almost invisible to the naked eye, but within a few minutes, a handsome man appeared on the paper.

Although there was only one face-to-face meeting at that time, many details were blurred, but Zhang Lie still recognized it at first sight, this is that Zheng Dong.

Then, Bai Yin stood up, handed the sketch to one of them, and several of them stood in front of the vixen profiles that had already been screened and compared them one by one.Soon, someone pointed to one of them and said, "It should be him."

Zhang Lie stretched out his head to look, and found that the person didn't look too much like the person in Bai Yin's hands, but it seemed that all the staff had recognized him, and immediately took action.

Seeing that he was probably confused, Bai Yin explained to him, "The demon cultivator can change his appearance, but some things cannot be changed. For example, his body. Zheng Dong is a red fox with a slender body. His cheeks are long, his limbs are short, his mouth is pointed and his ears are erect, his tail is long. His appearance and body conform to this feature." He moved the computer casually, and saw Zheng Dong's body, as expected, it was a huge red fox .

Zhang Lie looked at the sketch again, and as expected, Zheng Dong's face was very long, and his mouth was a bit protruding. Thinking about it again, it seemed that he was just tall, and his legs were not very long, at least much shorter than Bai Yin's, but overall he was still It's harmonious, and people didn't notice it all at once.

Bai Yin's observation skills are really amazing.

Zhang Lie couldn't help but asked, "Then what are you doing down here, are they going to the bar to catch him?"

"No! It's too much to scare the snake," Bai Yin walked forward, and at the same time, he casually hugged Zhang Lie to let him follow him, and then he arrived in front of another computer. Only then did Zhang Lie see that it was actually a surveillance camera, and the local station obviously That’s right, it’s that small bar. The monitoring staff saw Bai Yin and reported, “15 minutes after you left, Zheng Dong left in a hurry. After comparing the surveillance cameras at the intersection, we found that he went to Huichan Temple in the southern suburbs. Go, there is currently a team of people following up."

Zhang Lie's ears perked up when he heard about Huichan Temple. They found Pan Yingying's four places she frequented just now, and one of the scenic spots was Huichan Temple!

He wanted to say something, but saw Bai Yin nodded and said, "That's right there, he probably wants to transfer things."

After saying this, Bai Yin took Zhang Lie to a lounge at the back, and made him coffee and pastries in a comfortable way, letting him take a rest.Zhang Lie felt strange, everyone else was busy, why wasn't Bai Yin busy, so he asked him, "Aren't you going to the scene?"

Bai Yin glanced at him, smiled and said, "I'll just wait for them to come back. You rest, I'll go and have a look."

Zhang Lie nodded. He was indeed sleepy and hungry. He was only eighteen, and his body was in full swing. He didn't get enough sleep every day. What's more, after running around in the middle of the night, he swallowed coffee and cake in two mouthfuls and fell into a daze. up.

I don't know how long it took before Zhang Lie heard the door of the house being pushed open. He wanted to open his eyes because he was embarrassed to occupy someone's place, but he heard the other party's discussion first. "Let me say here, it's really handsome!" one of the girls said.

The other said in a low voice, "No wonder, the white team, which has always been at the front, didn't go to the scene, and gave the credit to our Bear team. It turned out to be protecting him."

These two people should have come in to make coffee. They were busy outside, so they just discussed this, made coffee and left.Only then did Zhang Lie open his eyes. Amidst the strong smell of coffee, he felt embarrassed—he originally told Bai Yin not to cause trouble, but it seemed that staying still would cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lie stood up directly, opened the door and went outside to find Bai Yin.He wanted to tell Bai Yin that it was fine for him to be here, and let Bai Yin go to the scene.As a result, as soon as they arrived at the hall, three or four people happened to walk in with excited expressions on their faces. The one in their hands was not Zheng Dong, who was it?

It's just that Zheng Dong is no longer tall and handsome just now, but a red fox that is as big as an adult husky in a cage. If Zhang Lie hadn't seen his prototype just now, he really wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Zheng Dong should be extremely dissatisfied, and he is surrounding everyone here with hatred.

The one carrying him was the thick-haired, round-shouldered Bear Team. He was happy to see Bai Yin. He walked towards Bai Yin and greeted him. We took it straight. The fox got all the stolen goods!"

With that said, he put Zheng Dong in front of Bai Yin.Then he waved back, and a fair-looking man next to him took out the storage bag, and under Zhang Lie's unbelievable gaze, he took out three bottles of Ambilight Time, but these were comparable to Zhang Lie's. The tube in Lie's hand is much thicker!

These are obviously more than ten years old!

I just heard the big man say, "This guy has cheated many girls with his looks. These belong to three people. They belonged to 90 years. One of them..." He pointed to the thick bottle, "It's that Pan Yingying's. 53 years."

Zhang Lie suddenly thought of Pan Yingying sitting in the sun room, 53 years old.

The big man pushed the cage, and said disdainfully, "Do you know how many magic weapons I found in his lair? There are eighteen of them. This guy is a habitual offender. Just take advantage of his good looks and illusion skills. He can also talk sweet words to confuse little girls into falling in love. The time he provided is no less than 700 years, tell me honestly, where have you all gone! How many accomplices do you have?"

The cage wasn't big, but it was clearly a treasure. Zheng Dong grinned while being tossed around in it, but he didn't dare to move around.It's just that after hearing the man's question, a mocking smile appeared on that sharp-mouthed face. Yes, even though he was a fox with hair all over his face, Zhang Lie could tell that he was mocking.

Zheng Dong's eyes showed madness, "Just because of you, you also want to stop us, delusion! Let me tell you, soon, this world will soon be the world of the monster race. How could I tell you and destroy our plan. At that time, you, These lackeys of human beings," he probably heard that it was Bai Yin who exposed his position, fixed his eyes on Bai Yin, suddenly lowered his voice, and slowly threatened, "We will not let go of any of them. , will tear off your fur, crush your inner alchemy, chew your bone marrow, and let you die without a place to die!"
