Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

If Lingling changes her career to become an actress, it would be a real waste of talent if she is not named a global film queen.

It didn't take even a few minutes for her to blend into the team with her cute and naive appearance.

It was getting late, and after being scared like that, everyone lost interest in listening to the story and went back to their rooms to sleep.

"Do you feel anything?" Lingling asked.

Xu Fang shook his head: "They are just normal emotions, no soul trauma and no outflow."

An ordinary ghost story, even if the atmosphere is right and the story is told in a scary way, can never scare a person to death.

"These people are going to Dou Ziran Town tomorrow to find out the cause of death and get the bounty." Lingling complained, "They are just beginner mages, how can they be so brave?"

"Young people, that's understandable." Xu Fang said, "At least if we follow them, we won't be easily exposed, right?"

Being connected with the soul is definitely not something that ordinary criminals can do.

If it was just Xu Fang and Lingling, most people would have noticed before they found each other.

It's different with this group of young people. The rookie learns to be a hunter mage and goes on adventures to earn bonuses. Although it's a bit stupid, it can always be explained.

The next day.

Everyone came to Dou Ziran Town on a chartered bus.

Liu Zhi, the man who peed his pants, took out his selfie stick and started live streaming:

"Brothers, we have come to the lair of the cat-faced old lady! Take a look at the surrounding scenery!"

"Scared? Scared of nothing! Before, when there was a demon, Brother Zhi had to stay away from it. Now that the demon has been killed by my male god, Brother Zhi is the most awesome guy!"

"Family members, if you want the same peach wood evil-suppressing pendant as Brother Zhi, please look in the window!"

It sounds pretty good, but unfortunately there are so few audiences.

Everyone decided to start with the latest case and rode a small electric scooter to a small village called Fengshou Village.

The name Fengshou Village is well chosen. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the village. It is simply completely irrelevant.

The village was surrounded by weeds as tall as adults, and there were trees that grew crooked and looked like monsters. There were not many grains of decent food.

Most of the people living here are left-behind elderly people, who are decaying along with the village.

The arrival of a group of young men and women instantly lowered the average age of the entire village. The old people staggered over and took out the dusty stools to talk.

"We are here to explore, explore the Internet!" Liu Zhi leaned over to an old man and shouted, "I heard that there is an old lady with a cat face who kills people here, so I want to ask her!"

The old man nodded: "Internet, I've heard of it, how many fans do you have?"

"thirty!"

The old man laughed.

Liu Zhi was a little embarrassed by his laughter, and said defensively: "Once I catch the cat-faced old lady, I will have more fans!"

Fortunately, other elderly people were not so annoying and were enthusiastic about sharing the news they knew.

"Yes! There is this!"

"It was Widow Tian who died, along with her son and daughter-in-law. How pitiful."

"I heard a cat jumped out of a corpse. It's scary!"

"If you ask me, this was done by Widow Tian herself. I went to her house to borrow some salt and saw that she was worshipping a monster with a weird head and a strange appearance."

"Maybe she is the old lady with a cat face, and her son and daughter-in-law might have been eaten by her herself!"

There are different accounts, but one thing is certain: the "cat-faced old lady" did have human lives on her hands, and the breakthrough point lies with Widow Tian!

"Hehe, I, Liu Zhi, never believe in those supernatural things. Even if it comes, I can shoot it to death with my brilliance!" Liu Zhi said.

When the old men and women in the village heard that this group of young people were going to catch monsters, they supported them wholeheartedly.

Since his old arms and legs could not move, he took out the boiled eggs and mooncakes wrapped in oil paper that had been there for who knows how long to treat them.

"I finally understand what the fish and water situation is."

Liu Zhi took a bite of the egg and sighed, "No wonder my idol keeps talking about protecting the people. So this is what it feels like to protect the people without expecting anything in return. I was really shallow before."

"Who is your idol?" Lingling asked.

"Xu Fang." Liu Zhi said, "I'm his loyal fan! I spent all the money my family gave me to buy a demon-slaying tool. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because the effect of that demon-slaying tool is very similar to the Sacred Art Demon-Judgment Sword used by my idol!"

"···ah?"

Lingling glanced at Xu Fang. This guy really has fans all over the world.

Liu Zhi sighed, "I used to think that idols were good in every way, except that they were a little too rigid. Why would they join the army to restrict themselves? Wouldn't it be better to create a force of their own?

Now I understand, it is morality! Noble morality cannot be measured by vulgar money resources, which is an insult to noble character! "

Xu Fang, who was standing by, got goose bumps on his arms.

To be honest, only part of what Liu Zhi said is right. Another reason is the power of faith and the huge resources that can be called upon at any time, which is not something that can be told to outsiders.

Set off after dinner.

The search was not smooth. After Xu Fang cleaned up Changbai Mountain, not only were there no monsters left, there were even few living creatures other than humans.

After wandering around for a whole day without any gain, they returned to the village in despair.

What they didn’t expect was that some colleagues actually came to the small village!

"It's my stubborn second cousin!" Liu Zhi exclaimed.

"Is he famous?"

"Of course! My second cousin has over three million fans online, which is more than I have!"

Liu Zhi said: "He once said that no one who does adventure broadcasting is better than him, and no one who is better has more fans than him. But since my idol Xu Fang started broadcasting once, he has not mentioned it again."

My stubborn second cousin's equipment is visibly sophisticated. He doesn't even need a selfie stick, as it comes with a suspended commercial version of a worker bee.

The old man who laughed at Liu Zhi for having few fans during the day was now chatting and laughing with his second cousin, and from time to time he smiled with his few remaining teeth showing.

"Damn! Is this so realistic?" Liu Zhi said speechlessly.

The stubborn second cousin also came to look for the old lady with a cat face. During the meal, Liu Zhi shamelessly tried to take advantage of her popularity but was directly rejected.

He wanted to join him in an expedition, but others looked down upon his pathetic beginner's level of cultivation. It was ok for him to be at the beginner level, but it was also light-type, so useless.

The other people in the team had been busy all day and had gained nothing, so they were ready to give up.

And Xu Fang received a call.

"Caught?"

"Okay, I'll go take a look right now."

After hanging up the phone, Lingling asked beside him: "What's wrong?"

"The Magic Association said that they caught the murderer, and he's from Heiting." Xu Fang said.

······

Magic Association.

In the cold morgue, there was a long white bed with the corpse placed on it and covered with a layer of pale white cloth.

Before I got close, a fishy smell hit me in the face.

The smell is very familiar, it is the smell of the black beast.

When Xu Fang lifted the white cloth, the first thing that came into view was his eyes, which were wide open. His eyeballs bulged out like goldfish and were frozen on his face, making him look particularly terrifying.

The expressions of Xu Fang and Lingling did not change. They glanced down and saw the open chest and empty belly.

"The deceased was a local. He ran away in anger because of a conflict with his in-laws and was killed by a black beast in the mountains."

The president of the Magic Association next to him said angrily: "It seems that the previous cases were all carried out with the same tactics. The beasts in the Black Court should all be killed!"

Lingling said, "But I saw that the previous report on the corpse did not record the strong odor."

The stench of dead fish and rotten shrimp is almost synonymous with the black beast.

Once such a stink appeared, there was no way the Magic Association would ignore it, let alone classify it as a normal case.

"Well, maybe the smell dissipated over too long, or the weather was too hot and it decayed too quickly, so the investigators didn't pay much attention to it?" said the president.

Xu Fang stretched out his hand and sensed it: "Her soul has also been traumatized."

"Maybe he was frightened by the black beast." The president interrupted.

"No, direct shock cannot cause such a result." Xu Fang shook his head.

This was confirmed when I told the ghost story that day.

"The black beast is an irrational beast, and it is impossible to reach the soul level." Xu Fang looked at the president: "I want to see the murderer."

"Of course, this way please."

Another room.

Ma San was handcuffed to a seat, with sharp spikes between his silver bracelet and his hand, emitting a bone-chilling chill that made it impossible for him to use magic.

Although what we emphasize now is humanity, that is aimed at humans. Things like Hei Ting, who are not human, are not included in this category at all.

Squeak~~~~

The door opened.

"Xu Junsi, it's him! He refuses to say anything now!" said the president.

"Have you asked a psychic mage to search your soul?"

"Xu Junsi, you are joking. We can't afford a spiritual master in this small place... But thanks to you, when the awakening stone mine begins mining, good days will come for our brothers."

Who is it?

Ma San was dazed and barely opened his swollen eyes. He saw three people sitting opposite him.

The one on the right is a middle-aged man, wearing the uniform of the Magic Association. Judging from the badge, he seems to be the president, but in this remote place, even the president is at best a mid-level wizard.

As for the other two, one is a young girl full of youth.

Ma San's throat felt dry after seeing this, and he had a strong desire to taste it, but unfortunately this damn ice magic tool locked him up and he couldn't move.

The last person... Damn!

Ma San sat up suddenly, but was forcibly pulled back by the magic tool, grimacing in pain.

"Do you know me?" Xu Fang said.

"Xu Fang! You are Xu Fang, you, you..."

Ma San had heard this name more than once in Heiting and had seen the photo of this person.

Almost all the members of the Black Court knew that as long as they killed Xu Fang, they would not have to worry about their next life.

When he really faced him, Ma San finally understood why he was so valuable.

He was obviously just sitting casually, and his face didn't look as fierce as the middle-aged man next to him, but he just felt like he was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the courage to say anything harsh.

"If you know it was me, just tell the truth." Xu Fang said calmly, tapping the table with his fingers: "Did you kill that person? How many other people did you kill? Did you commit the previous case?"

"I don't know! I didn't do anything!" Ma San said angrily.

"You are still stubborn even when death is imminent! Do you still want to deny that the black beast has sustained such an obvious fatal injury?" The president slammed the table angrily.

"I said I don't know, which means I don't know!" Ma San roared unwillingly.

The voice was so loud, like a child who was wrongly accused.

The president on the opposite side was obviously stunned and stopped talking. Ma San felt proud for no reason and felt his body light as if he was in a dream.

"what's your name?"

The sound echoed in my mind.

Ma San subconsciously said: "My name is Ma Changfu."

"What is your position in the Black Court?"

"Black."

"How many black beasts do you have?"

"One."

"Why kill this woman?"

Ma San was obviously excited, and his body was shaking slightly: "I, I didn't kill her. The woman was already dead when I came!"

"Why did you come here?"

"It's Heida! Heida came to this place like crazy, and I chased him to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect to be caught."

"Who is Heida?"

"I am the elder, and I am also the black beast."

"What is big?"

"That's Dad."

In the interrogation room, the president was stunned. Ma San sitting opposite him had dull eyes and his black pupils were almost invisible.

Xu Fang tapped his fingers on the table absentmindedly and asked a question casually, and the other party poured out everything he knew like pouring beans.

He was very curious, but he didn't dare to speak out for fear of affecting Xu Fang's operation.

Xu Fang glanced at him and stopped knocking. Ma San's head immediately fell forward and he fell into a baby-like sleep.

"Speak."

The president finally let out a sigh of relief and said in amazement: "Xu Junsi, what did you just do..."

"Hypnosis is just a trick." Xu Fang said: "Now we can be sure that the murderer is not this Ma San. He and his black beast are scapegoats who were attracted here. The so-called 'cat-faced old lady' is someone else."

"Damn murderer, he's so cunning!"

The president said bitterly: "We have already issued a notice to arrest him, but we were tricked!"

"At least we have a direction for research." Xu Fang comforted him, "Now we go to the crime scene to find the cause of the black beast monster, and use it as a clue to continue the investigation."

"It can only be the."

The president sighed, pushed open the door and shouted, "Xiao Sun! Xiao Sun! Remove the notice of the old lady with the cat face...Xiao Sun, why are you absent-minded?"

"Will, President?"

Xiao Sun's voice trembled.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?" The president felt very embarrassed.

"Our website was hacked and the cat-faced old lady appeared again!"

"What!?"

······

[The cat-faced old lady appears again, the horror legend may become a reality! 】

[Shocked! The cat-faced old lady may be part of a gang, and is said to be roaming around the three northeastern provinces! ]

[The Magic Association's statement has become a joke, the real culprit is still hiding in the dark! ]

"These unscrupulous media!" The president slammed the table, his teeth itching with hatred.

Normally, when our association did some good things, such as giving lectures in schools, donating money, and clearing out demons, these guys never gave a shit, but now that something happened, they swarmed over our heads like a swarm of flies!

"President, the media is pretty good."

Xiao Sun said with a sad face: "Look at the short video platform, it's crazy, the person who died was a big internet celebrity with millions of fans!"

The president's eyes went dark and he fell into his chair.

Spicy balls!

The whole ball is spicy!

He had originally hoped to take advantage of the Changbai Mountain mineral vein to revitalize his career and soar to success, but he did not expect that reality would play such a big joke on him.

The nature of this crime is so bad and the impact is so great that he can already imagine his bleak future.

Xu Fang and Lingling were also browsing the Internet.

They had seen the deceased before. It was the "stubborn second cousin" who had just visited the village before they came. Although the body was covered with thick mosaics, one could still see his miserable appearance.

The murderer seems to be provocative, as if he is enjoying the feeling of being "the center of attention". Perhaps he is hiding behind a mobile phone, quietly appreciating the art he created.

"Is such a huge emotional force enough to generate the evil power of faith?" Lingling asked.

"Enough, but not much." Xu Fang said, "Because many people's emotions are directed at the Magic Association, which is different from the pure fear of Saran and Leng Jue."

"That is to say, he will still commit crimes."

The president on the side was confused and couldn't help asking, "What exactly are you two talking about?"

"Don't worry about what it is. Just cooperate with us from now on. When the case is solved, I will announce to the public that we solved it together." Xu Fang said.

A spark of hope ignited in the president's eyes.

Xu Fang and I work together to solve the case?

Then it won’t take off yet?

Can the previous mistake still be called a mistake? It was clearly part of the plan!

"Okay, I will cooperate! I will cooperate!" Lingling explained the details to him, and Xu Fang dialed a phone number in the direction of the imperial capital.

Soon, the Magic Association removed the statement from its official website and closed the comment section.

The entire association didn't even respond, allowing netizens to question and scold as they pleased, just like a turtle that shrinks its head.

The curses on the Internet became more fierce, and the people living nearby were filled with fear, and for a while even fewer people went out.
