MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 134 Swordsman and Exorcist (20)
================================
Gu Zhong had no choice but to retreat abruptly to avoid the golden seal.
A familiar figure appeared in front of them.
His originally handsome and cheerful face was full of gloom, and he was no longer in high spirits.
From the inside out, it exudes a decadent aura.
"Chu City?"
Ling Yan shouted in surprise, hurriedly stepped forward and stood beside Gu Zhong, making a side-by-side gesture.
"Miss Ling, you still have a chance to look back now."
Chu Cheng held up the golden seal again and faced Gu Zhong.
"Only you?"
After waiting for a while, no one from the second National Teacher's House appeared, Gu Zhong couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"It's enough for me to deal with you alone."
Chu Cheng was angry, and immediately smashed the golden seal towards Gu Zhong again.
"You're going to be disappointed."
Gu Zhong lightly jumped a few times, then dodged the golden seal's seemingly dazzling and unexpected attack.
"Chu City! Stop it! There are so many people in this flower building, you will ignore their life and death?"
Ling Yan stood in front of Gu Zhong and snarled.
"There is one dead in front of you."
Chu Cheng looked at the corpse that was broken in two not far away.
"That's right, she's already dead, since the moment she was possessed by a demon - an immature method of seizing her body."
Gu Zhong obviously has another explanation.
"The girls in Fireworks Lane have disappeared one after another recently. We are sure that this is the work of a demon, and it was finally tempted to appear tonight—"
If it wasn't for the sudden blocking of Chucheng, the demon would not have escaped so easily.
Ling Yan said indignantly, with a bit of annoyed blame.
"There is a demon behind you, why are you still obsessed, Miss Ling?"
Chu Cheng ignored her words and looked at her with a heartbroken expression.
"You forgot about the Qingxi Taoist Temple? Even you and I almost died."
Gu Zhong raised the sword flashing coldly in his hand with a contemptuous tone.
She does have this strength.
"That's why you continue to deceive Miss Ling!"
Chu Cheng has his own set of theories.
"Why lie to me?"
Ling Yan was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, so it wasn't just to deceive her feelings, right?
"... Who knows what the mind of the demon is?"
Chu Cheng didn't know the answer to this question, after all, he was just talking nonsense.
"Oh? What's with the corpse on the ground? Why am I killing people?"
With a sneer, Gu Zhong raised his lower jaw and gestured towards the blood-stained piece.
"...this...you just made up a rhetoric. Miss Ling can't believe it."
Reacting that there was a loophole in his logic, Chu Cheng almost shook his cognition.
But in his eyes, the demon can never be a good person, and Gu Zhong can never be trusted, so what Gu Zhong said is not credible.
Since childhood, he has been instilled in the evil of demons and the suffering of human beings. He has always regarded killing demons and eliminating demons as his inescapable accusation, which has become an indelible belief.
It was extremely difficult for him to accept the fact that attention might be harmless.
"Chucheng - you should wake up. The problem is not Gu Zhong, but the National Teacher's House! Do you know what happened that day after you ran out of the Temple of Slaying Demons?"
Ling Yan took a deep breath, wishing to split Chu Cheng's brain with a palm and pull out his dead brain.
"What?"
"I was imprisoned by your good senior brother. Do you know that there is an underground prison in the back mountain of the National Teacher's House, which is bottomless?"
"This is impossible..."
Chu Cheng was stunned, he was willing to believe Ling Yan's personal experience, but there was something wrong with the National Teacher's House who raised him and taught him, and he absolutely refused to admit it.
"Ling Ying, is the monster that really caused chaos in all directions! That day, I sneaked into the National Teacher's Mansion to save me, and never hurt anyone - but we, almost died-"
Ling Yan briefly described the situation to Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng's eyes widened throughout the whole process, a look of disbelief.
"But... Ling Ying is dead."
After listening to what Ling Yan said, he was silent for a while, and then he opened his mouth and said with deep doubts.
—Ling Ying is dead? !
The sudden news struck them like a lightning bolt, shocking them in place.
The default future national teacher died so easily?
Gu Zhong immediately pulled Ling Yan behind him to protect him, and looked at Chu Cheng vigilantly.
That guy will never die easily, not to mention Ling Yan just cut off his arm again.
Maybe she was just not satisfied with her broken body and chose to transfer the possessed person.
They don't know how to tell, because its performance is enough to be fake unless there are special directional clues.
The atmosphere that had already eased became tense again.
The difference is that if the identity is doubtful, a different person.
"You... now suspect me and are possessed?"
Even the dullest person can perceive this distrust.
"If it's as you said, Gu Zhong is controlled by that demon, then you can't stand here properly."
Chu Cheng's brain became logically clear, and he used the paradigm to refute him just now.
"You believe it?"
Perceiving the change in his tone, Gu Zhong raised his eyebrows, and suspicion was more deeply imprinted on her face.
How could he believe this story so easily and change his attitude?
"I don't trust you, I trust Miss Ling."
Chu Cheng pursed his lips, turned his gaze to Ling Yan, and put away the golden seal.
"Then if Ah Yan is also possessed, how can the demon possess not only one person?"
Seeing his affectionate appearance, Gu Zhong felt unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but continue to stir up his emotions, so that he could beat this man upright and open again.
"Take care!"
Ling Yan gave her a dissatisfied look as if she could see through her thoughts, then turned to Chu Cheng and said.
"We don't know why it didn't choose you as the object of possession, which is an undeniable doubt.
You do not believe that Gu Zhong is completely innocent.
Since we can't trust each other very much, and we don't have the will to continue fighting, it's better to work together to solve the demon thing here. "
"It should be."
The worm immediately nodded in agreement.
Chu Cheng glanced at her angrily, stepped forward, and turned over the face-down corpse of the prostitute with his hands.
"Speaking of which, I have another question - how did you come to this fireworks alley?"
Gu Zhong looked at his actions and suddenly asked again.
"The government office has received several disappearance reports here, and not many people care. I suspect it is a demon—"
Chu Cheng glanced at Gu Zhong, and the implied words were self-evident.
"You came alone?"
Ling Yan didn't quite understand his behavior, knowing that Gu Zhong was an existence that the entire National Teacher's Mansion could not fight against, if it was a devil, wouldn't he die in vain?
"..."
Chu Cheng looked at Ling Yan with flickering eyes, and said nothing.
As a bystander, he could understand what Chu Cheng was thinking—if this was really Chu Cheng, he would not want Ling Yan to suffer any harm anyway.
During the conversation, Chu Cheng had already carefully inspected the pale corpse of the old bustard.
The corpse was still warm, and it seemed that the last second was still alive.
Chu Cheng made an unexpected move.
He rudely ripped off the prostitute's clothes, fading to nothing.
"What are you doing?"
Ling Yan exclaimed and covered her eyes with her hands.
"Red Line..."
Chu Cheng looked at the red circle around his waist in the lower half of his body, and muttered in a low voice.
Gu Zhong also squatted down and stared at this strange place.
If it is a tattoo, there is no uneven feeling formed by blood scabs.
It's there, like it was born.
But without exception, they all have such a red line around their waists. "
"They are also most likely the last contact with the missing women—"
Gu Zhong and Chu Cheng looked at each other.
"So—this is likely to be a person possessed by a demon, and there must be traces?"
Put down the hand covering her eyes, Ling Yan leaned coyly beside Gu Zhong, and joined the analysis.
"If there really is a demon here that can only possess others—"
The scene in front of me, for some reason, always felt a little dazzling, Chu Cheng looked at Gu Zhong and became angry again.
"It's still here."
Gu Zhong walked to the handrail and looked down, the flower building in the middle of the night was a lively time. The guests cheered, accompanied by the woman's coquettish laughter.
The above battle ended too quickly, and did not disturb the carnival of this drunken fan.
"But with so many people here, where would it be?"
Looking at the dense crowd, Ling Yan sighed weakly.
This monster is really cunning, and it is difficult to find it after sneaking into the crowd. It can also change the possessed object without interruption.
This is the home field of demons, and they are almost helpless.
"But...why is it still here?"
Gu Zhong rubbed his fingers on the mahogany railing, tapped a little rhythm, and pondered.
The badly wounded monster did not flee immediately, but still swayed in place, which is not in line with the nature of all creatures to seek benefits and avoid harm.
"Unless--it has a reason to stay here--"
This sentence is like a beam of fire, which suddenly illuminates the fog of chaotic thoughts.
