The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 174 Return of the property to its original owner

The City Lord's Mansion was torn off its true appearance because Wang Wei broke the shackles of the statue, and it turned into white sand and disappeared into the air. As for where it would eventually go, that was not determined by the wind.

The four-member team gathered in the inn. Huo Feng had decided to break into the city lord's mansion halfway before, so he had informed Bai Tang in advance. Bai Tang naturally understood, and it was much safer outside than inside, so it would be more convenient for him to act alone - after all, the Tengu body was much more agile than the human shell.

Bai Tang took advantage of the dissipation of the City Lord's Mansion and saw that everyone inside came out. He followed one of them home to find out something. However, he saw that the man fainted after returning home and woke up half an hour later. However, after waking up, he seemed to have lost his memory. In fact, he had forgotten everything about the City Lord's Mansion, but he had not forgotten the breakfast he had before going out today.

When Bai Tang told this, the other three realized that something was wrong.

Wang Wei went straight to the point: "The City Lord's Mansion should be what we speculated before, a kind of monster. Its main body is a breath of air, but it can transform into non-living objects and affect the people in them. However, this kind of monster must have some restrictions, otherwise it would have turned the world upside down."

Jun Zhao continued: "Yes, it is a very powerful type of monster. We named it - Omnipresent, and this name almost describes its characteristics. However, it has many restrictions, which is why the Red Queen is still alive. To enter the mansion, you must meet the relevant rules for its magic to take effect. Mo Wei overturned the biggest layer of rules inside and drove away the monster before Youshi, otherwise we would..."

"Wait!" Wang Wei interrupted him, "You said he ran away?"

"Yes, although its body is invisible, it has a certain weight. If it dies, the ground around the City Lord's Mansion should collapse. It was fine when we left just now." Jun Zhao explained the characteristics of the monster, and Wang Wei's mouth twitched slightly.

She's not dead yet, she still thinks the statue is the source of her power!

Jun Zhao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, although you found what you wanted, do you still remember the key to the treasure box you were looking for in the first place?"

“The trip inside cannot be in vain. The artifact of purifying power has been found and purified. As for the key—” Wang Wei dragged out the last word, and seemed to be in no hurry to say it.

Suddenly, the door of the inn room was pushed open and everyone looked over.

It was Bo Shangmiao, Song Zuoru and Hundun. Another team also came back.

Wang Wei threw a shiny object toward the door, and Hun Dun jumped over and caught it firmly in his mouth. Then, a bundle was thrown toward him. He was afraid that the heavy object would hit his head and make him stupid, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He obediently caught it with both hands and held it in his arms.

"The key was found of course. It was placed among the collections in the City Lord's Mansion. Your eyesight is not as good as mine. I got it and put it away in advance, but you didn't know anything about it." Wang Wei seemed a little proud.

"What do you want to do?" Jun Zhao asked vigilantly.

"Since this box and key have an owner, I naturally want to know who the owner is. No matter who is provoking our aquatic tribe, I will..."

Wang Wei coughed a few times. Huo Feng was still beside her. She didn't want to explain it too clearly. She had already caught a glimpse of Huo Feng's concerned face from the corner of her eye. "I'm going to invite them to Chen Zhongtian to sit down, have a cup of tea, and have a chat!"

She said so openly, but she emphasized a few words through voice transmission, after all, Chaos's brain was not stable.

Wang Wei transmitted a message: "Find the person who used the box and the key. I want you to catch the mastermind and clean him up."

"Okay, master. Mission accomplished!" Chaos collected the key and the box, turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped.

"What else?" Wang Wei asked.

"I, I'll just leave like this, you guys..." Hun Dun's eyes swept across everyone, except for Song Zuoru who was observing carefully, all the others were glared at by him.

Wang Wei waved his hand: "Completing the task I gave you is the most important thing."

"Wait!" Jun Zhao raised his hand to try to stop Hun Dun, but Hun Dun disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"What do you want to do with him?" Wang Wei looked at him coldly. Jun Zhao turned around and said with a hint of rebuke in his tone, "Give him the key and the box. What do you want to do with them?"

"Of course the item will be returned to its original owner." Wang Wei didn't want to elaborate, but looked directly at Song Zuoru, raised his hand and invited her to sit on the wooden stool next to the table.

"Mrs. Zuo, have you found any clues about A Lan?" Wang Wei asked.

Jun Zhao saw that she didn't want to speak directly, so he stopped asking questions for the time being.

"We, we do have some news!" Song Zuoru had been wanting to talk to Wang Wei all the way, but didn't find a suitable opportunity.

"Tell me slowly." Wang Wei poured her a cup of tea.

Song Zuoru drank a sip of tea, calmed down, and said, "You and I... Father found a family on the other side of the city. That family is a demon tribe living among the people. They have seen my A Lan before!"

"Demon clan? Then where is A Lan now?" Wang Wei's brows were filled with confusion.

Bo Shangmiao came out to explain, "That family has lived here for a long time, and they know this place better than ordinary people. There is a black market here, and A Lan must have been brought here by human traffickers. According to that family, they saw A Lan being bought by another demon family."

"Another demon family? Where did they go?"

"It's very likely in the Windy City."

"...This doesn't sound like the territory of Yangdu." Huo Feng took out the map and looked at it.

"Indeed, it is not. This is the territory of Yindu. There are many races living there, and the demon race is one of them. It is a place where humans, gods, and demons live together." Bo Shangmiao seemed to know this very well.

"Have you been there?" Wang Wei took a sip of tea.

"Well, it's a place I used to stay often." Bo Shangmiao didn't understand the question she asked.

“Ha...you live with the gods in the mortal world, but you just refuse to go back to heaven, right?” Wang Wei almost laughed out loud out of anger.

"I... I'm sorry..." Bo Shangmiao started to apologize again, but was interrupted by Wang Wei.

"Mother Zuo, let's go to Yufeng City later. I will definitely do what I promised you." Wang Wei grabbed Song Zuo Ru's hand which was trembling with excitement and said softly.

Song Zuoru nodded, her voice trembling slightly: "Thank you, Xiaowei. Actually, when I learned today that Alan was bought by a family, I felt relieved. At least I know she is still alive... I know you all have your own things to do. There is no need to go through all this trouble for a stranger I met on the road. I will go by myself..."

"You don't have to feel pressured. Since it's an unfamiliar city, I think I will set foot in it sooner or later. Now that we all have a direction, why don't we go the same way?" Wang Wei's eyes were bright, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
