I obviously just want to be a dragon

Chapter 174 I'm here to trip them up

When he came to Xu Qianqian's villa for the third time, Su Ming no longer went to the reception room or the backyard, but came to Xu Qianqian's room.

Xu Qianqian brought Su Ming into his room, which surprised Su Ming who was belatedly aware.

What surprised Su Ming even more was the way Xu Qianqian's room was decorated.

This room does not have any pink girly color, nor does it have the splendor of the children of many big families. Instead, it looks extremely simple, simple and monotonous.

"What? Surprised?"

Seeing Su Ming's surprised expression, Xu Qianqian asked lightly.

"A little bit." Su Ming reacted, scratched his face, and said, "However, if you think about it carefully, this seems to be your style too."

It doesn't need too many gorgeous decorations, nor does it need too much superficial effort. The girl named Xu Qianqian has always been so simple and straightforward.

That is, this kind of life, for this young lady, I don't know if it will be too boring.

"My room in Xu's house is not like this."

I don't know if I saw Su Ming's thoughts, but Xu Qianqian said so.

"Of course, I don't like that family very much."

After speaking, Xu Qianqian turned to Su Ming.

"Where's Xiao Hai'er?"

The first thing that the eldest lady paid attention to was the pets she had taken care of.

"Amyrine!"

Before Su Ming could make a sound, the mermaid girl dispelled the fog with a cheer, appeared in the room, and rushed towards Xu Qianqian.

As soon as Xu Qianqian picked it up, her cold and pretty face involuntarily softened a lot.

"Looks like you're doing well."

Xu Qianqian touched the little head of the mermaid girl in his arms, which made the mermaid girl smile.

This scene made Su Ming shake his head and sigh.

It is said that it is very simple to improve the relationship between girls, a qualified topic and a little bit of speculation are enough, this is really true.

Even the cold-tempered Miss Xu and the timid and shy phantom girl, after getting along for a period of time, the relationship can become so good, which is a bit unscientific.

Fortunately, Su Ming didn't want to understand girls' thinking.

He took out the "King" ID card from his backpack and handed it to Xu Qianqian.

"That's what I got from that creepy guy who turned into sand."

Su Ming handed the ID badge to Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian took it over, glanced at it, and then confirmed it.

"That's right, this is the identity card of the Wang family. Only those with the blood of the Wang family will hold it. The weird attackers who frequently appeared in Longyao City recently also have this thing."

Xu Qianqian said so.

"Are you sure?" Su Ming asked, "Is it true that all these people are members of the Wang family?"

"Sure." Xu Qianqian said with great certainty: "The people above have verified their identities long ago, and it has been confirmed that they are all members of the Wang family, and all of them are owners of the blood of the Wang family."

"Of course, these people are basically collateral people."

Xu Qianqian returned the ID card to Su Ming.

Su Ming didn't take it.

"A collateral line?" Su Ming asked thoughtfully, "What about the Wang family's immediate lineage?"

"There are only two people in the direct line of the Wang family." Xu Qianqian said, "One is the current head of the Wang family, that is, the current mayor of Longyao City, and the other is the mayor's daughter, the only daughter of the direct line of the Wang family."

"So little?" Su Ming couldn't help being startled.

You must know that because of the relationship of blood, the big family has always advocated multiple births and multiple breeding, and constantly spread branches and leaves, so that the family can continue to grow and develop.

For example, Xu Qianqian's grandfather had several children, and these children also had several descendants. Only Xu Yongfeng gave birth to Xu Qianqian, an only daughter.

But even so, there are dozens of people in the three generations of the Xu family.

And what about the Wang family?

It is obviously one of the oldest and most powerful families in Longyao City, but there are only two people in the direct line of the family, which is really weird.

In this regard, Xu Qianqian said so.

"The Wang family is different from other families. The level of the bloodline will be confirmed at birth. Only when the level of the bloodline meets the standard can they be regarded as direct descendants. If the level of the bloodline does not meet the standard, they will be relegated to collateral."

Miss Xu said such things in a voice that was not very emotional.

"The current head of the Wang family, Wang Xiao, the mayor of Longyao City, has two older brothers, two younger brothers, and a younger sister. There are six brothers and sisters in total, but he is the only one who has become a direct descendant of the family, and the rest have all fallen into the collateral line. "

"Mayor Wang himself has three children. In the end, only one daughter's bloodline reached the standard and could become a direct line. The other two were adopted by collateral lineages after birth."

"Therefore, the direct lineage of the Wang family has always been the least among the major families."

However, the direct lineages organically selected through this method are all the most noble people in the family blood.

Su Ming can almost imagine how outstanding and potential these direct descendants of the Wang family are.

For example, Mayor Wang Xiaowang himself is a high-level professional with five stars.

As for his daughter, Su Ming is not sure.

"Then what's going on now?" Su Ming pointed to the identity card in Xu Qianqian's hand, and said, "These collateral clan members of the Wang family, why have they all turned into that ghost?"

That weird appearance was obviously abnormal.

Since the high-level people in Longyao City have already discovered these things, they must have gone through a full investigation and obtained some information.

And Xu Qianqian, as the eldest lady of the Xu family, and her father is a member of the upper echelons of Longyao City, must have grasped a lot of secret information in this regard.

Otherwise, why would Xu Qianqian call herself over in the middle of the night for an interview?
It's nothing more than that these secret information can't be casually talked on the phone.

as expected
"Though it's not proven yet"

Xu Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at Su Ming.

"However, after expert analysis, they all agreed that these members of the royal family probably made sacrifices in some kind of cruel ceremony."

When such words came out of Xu Qianqian's mouth, even Su Ming felt a chill run through his whole body.

"Sacrifice?"

Su Ming's complexion changed slightly.

"Yes." Xu Qianqian also looked a little heavy, and said: "These Wang family members have actually been drained of blood, and their vitality has long been exhausted, leaving only an empty shell, which was discarded by the host of the ceremony at will, so it is like Like a walking dead, wandering around Longyao City."

They are irrational because they are long dead.

They are looking for food, probably just the instinct of the body is at work.

Such them should have become mummified corpses exposed to the wilderness, but because of the ritual, some side effects of the ritual were left on their body, causing them to live or die, and could only wander around like walking corpses.

"Who on earth did such a thing?"

Su Ming sighed, offering a little silence for these poor people.

"The perpetrator cannot be identified yet." Xu Qianqian continued: "Originally, the people above suspected the superior phantom that has not yet been found."

After all, the Wang family died after being drained of blood. Naturally, this way of death will make people suspect the phantom first.

But this matter is obviously not the work of phantoms.

"Phantom demons suck blood and only drain people dry. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not happen that after draining the blood like this, they can turn people into walking corpses." Xu Qianqian said: "Moreover, the Wang family left behind The power of the ritual is also not like what phantoms do."

Phantom demon sucks blood, so why hold any ceremony?

Even if the higher-level phantoms already have wisdom no less than that of humans, man-made signs such as rituals are still only made by humans, and phantoms are generally impossible to do such things.

therefore
"The people above still suspect that behind this incident, there are unknown forces operating."

Xu Qianqian told Su Ming these things.

"Maybe it's really a good thing done by "evil" people, that's also possible."

It was a disaster.

The largest mercenary organization in the underground world actually committed crimes in Longyao City, even mutilated the Wang family, and used the Wang family as sacrifices for some kind of ceremony. This has undoubtedly touched the base city's bottom line.

If one fails, Longyao City may really be messed up by "crime", or even directly destroyed.

"Why is there so many disasters in this base city?"

Su Ming scratched his head, looking irritable.

When it comes to the life and death of the entire base city, he can't stay out of it.

The family still lives in the key protected area in the city center, and all of my friends are in the academy, right in Longyao City.

Once an accident occurs in Longyao City, if Su Ming can stay out of it, then he is not heartless, but has no conscience.

The worst thing is
"There is a high possibility of 'evil' accomplices in the upper echelons of Longyao City."

What Xu Qianqian said was exactly the bad situation that Su Ming had just thought of.

The two of them have not forgotten that the person who hired "criminal" people to hunt down Xiao Hai'er was among the high-level people in Longyao City.

Among the high-level officials in Longyao City, there are "criminal" accomplices, at worst they are also partners, and some of them communicate with each other.

"I've already told my father all these things. He has united with several senior officials of Longyao City and is secretly looking for evidence. He is going to find out that person and get all the information from him."

Xu Qianqian stared at Su Ming and said, "I'm telling you this because it's not unrelated to us."

Su Ming could understand what Xu Qianqian meant.

Originally, it was Su Ming and Xu Qianqian who found and eradicated the "evil" mercenary group, and rescued Xiao Hai'er from their hands.

The senior officials of Longyao City who were hiding behind must have known about this matter.

At the very least, the other party must know that Xu Qianqian was involved in these matters.

In this way, in order not to be found out, the other party is likely to send someone to destroy the evidence, and then attack Xu Qianqian and all the close people around Xu Qianqian.

"Of course, with my father and the others watching, the other party will definitely not be able to act recklessly." Xu Qianqian said: "But I'm afraid that the other party may continue to maintain contact with the "evil" person, so that the "evil" person People make a move."

All of this is just speculation.

Whether it was "evil" people who attacked the royal family and used the royal family as ritual sacrifices is still unknown.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case.

As long as there is even the slightest possibility, Xu Qianqian must remind Su Ming to prepare him mentally.

She herself is fine, the key lies in Su Ming.

Who told Su Ming to be dragged into this muddy water by her?

Xu Qianqian was also in a bad mood about the incident that affected Su Ming again.

If she knew that the water in this matter was so deep, she would never ask Su Ming to assist her in the investigation.

Fortunately, Su Ming's existence has not been exposed, and it is unlikely that others will suspect that he assisted him.

Even if Su Ming is suspected, as long as he knows that Su Ming has something to do with Yun Langyue of the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce", even "criminal" people have to weigh it carefully.

"Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" blooms in the four major base cities, which are different from any family power in Longyao City.

"Evil" people are certainly not afraid of any threats brought by the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce", but the nature of the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" is doomed that it will not be taken over by one pot, and it also has a wide range of contacts and business channels. Will there be some businessmen who are in the black market, in the underground world, and have close contacts with some forces in the underground world?

With this in mind, any doubts had to be dispelled in the face of the risks.

Thinking of this, and thinking that Su Ming's own strength is also extraordinary, Xu Qianqian felt relieved.

However, Xu Qianqian's mood became extremely complicated when he thought that Su Ming might have to rely on the relationship of "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" to get rid of his troubles.

Su Ming didn't know that Xu Qianqian had thought so much.

He wasn't worried that he would be exposed.

But at the same time, he also felt that with Xiao Hai'er, he might be targeted by these interested people at any time.

In that case
"No way, let me do something."

Su Ming made such a decision.

"What do you want to do?"

Xu Qianqian was slightly taken aback.

Su Ming suddenly smiled and said something.

"I'm here to trip them up."

With that said, Su Ming flipped his hand and took out an item.

It was something like a firework.

"what is this?"

Xu Qianqian cast her gaze on the fireworks.

Su Ming didn't answer, but also looked at the firework.

His words can clearly see the detailed introduction of the fireworks.

Obstructing smoke waves: Alchemy props, made of the mountain ash of the magic volcano in the Spirit Demon Prison and special metal magnets, launched into the air, allowing the obstructing magnetic ash to spread and cover within a certain range, which is very effective for alchemy potions and alchemists. Items, alchemy weapons, and even rituals with strange effects can all get in the way.

"This"

Xu Qianqian was shocked when he heard Su Ming's introduction.

She had never heard of the existence of such alchemy props.

But there is no doubt that this alchemy prop, once used, can definitely exert an astonishing hindering effect.

Su Ming, really intends to trip up those guys who are doing evil in the dark.

Moreover, it was still a big stumbling block.
