"My lord, the Night Wanderer has arrived."

"My Lord."

"Xiao Ye Ye is here~"

Listening to the sound of the Night Wandering God coming from far away, Xu Zhoujiao truly experienced for the first time what it meant: the sound arrives before the person.

She held her forehead helplessly: OK, the conspicuous bag is coming...

The Night Walker rushed into the house, and the first thing he did when he entered was to search for his master.

Looking around the room, he found the expressionless Xu Zhoujiao among a pile of colorful brocades. Next to her stood the equally expressionless Riyoushen and the Fengtiansuo that was almost smoking.

The moment he saw Feng Tiansuo, Ye Youshen was frightened and cried out "Ouch" and quickly closed the door.

He tiptoed to Xu Zhoujiao and looked at her with a look that said, "My lord, you are really amazing." "My lord, have you snatched the Sky Sealing Shuttle?"

At this moment, a few words were clearly written on the face of the Night Walker: Your Excellency is truly worthy of being an Excellency.

Xu Zhoujiao shook her head: "I didn't rob it, Shijun gave it to me on his own initiative."

"That's because my master is so powerful, so he gave it to me."

No matter what the reason is, it can't stop me from admiring adults.

He had heard it all, how her master had stuck a dagger into the statue of the City God and how he had made Shi Jun kneel down and admit his mistake.

The most amazing thing is how the lord single-handedly broke into the cave today and eliminated the evil for the people.

When Night Wanderer listened to his colleagues' descriptions, he felt as if he were there, his blood boiling, and he regretted not being there.

So he ran over here impatiently, fearing that he would miss something again.

"Sir, what are we going to do tonight?"

Xu Zhoujiao and Riyoushen looked at each other: How did he know that I was going out at night?

At this moment, she could never have imagined that because the Night Wanderer had heard too many fictional stories from his colleagues, his ambitions were ignited, and now he couldn't wait to go on a expedition with her.

Xu Zhoujiao handed the colorful brocade in her hand to him: "Don't ask so many questions first. If it can't be woven today, we can't go anywhere."

That's enough.

She could never have imagined that after putting the Heaven-Sealing Shuttle into the spirit platform, it would actually be beaten by the Heavenly Book and Divine Scroll inside. The thread on the shuttle was almost pulled out by the Heavenly Book and Divine Scroll.

No one could understand Xu Zhoujiao's frustration when she summoned the Heaven Sealing Shuttle from her spiritual platform. A shuttle with a bunch of strings following it...

She and Riyoushen spent the entire afternoon just winding the thread around it.

Xu Zhoujiao pointed at Feng Tiansuo and said to Ye Youshen: "Now it's your turn to stare at it. I'm going to go out for some fresh air."

It was so horrible! It was crying while weaving.

The Sun God patted his shoulder and said, "Keep an eye on it. It has no other problems except that it cries a lot."

After saying that, he ran out as if there was a ghost behind him.

The only person left in the room was Ye Youshen, who looked at Feng Tiansuo in confusion: Crying? Can it cry? How can it cry?

By the time Xu Zhoujiao got two complete cloaks, Ye Youshen had already completely broken down in tears because of Feng Tiansuo.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at him with a look of despair and couldn't help laughing. She gave him a cloak and said, "Let's go, it's time to get to work!"

As soon as Xu Zhoujiao said "Let's go", the originally listless Night Wanderer immediately revived.

The two men put on cloaks, took the Sky-Sealing Shuttle, and hid in the darkness.

Arriving at the abandoned City God Temple archive, Xu Zhoujiao looked around at the dark and desolate surroundings and asked the question that had no time to be answered.

"You said before that when the old city god came out of the archives, the corner of his clothes was stained with firefly powder, right? Are you sure it was the corner of his clothes and not his sleeves?"

"Yes, it's the hem of the garment, the hem of the front panel."

"Where was Shijun's case file placed before? Was it placed very low?"

"Not low, because the case files are placed according to the position. When Shi Jun first came to the City God Temple, he had been working beside the old City God. Although he had no position, everyone knew him clearly, so his case files were placed in the first row, about this high."

As the Night Wanderer spoke, he measured it with his hand and it was approximately at the position of his forehead.

It's so high that it shouldn't be stuck to the corner of clothes.

Xu Zhoujiao decided to go in and take a look first.

In the dark warehouse, only a few faint moonlights came in. The whole room was empty and filled with dust.

She signaled the Night Walker to find the location where Shi Jun's case file was originally placed.

The Night Walker walked over and stood in position, gesturing: "My lord, it's at this place."

Xu Zhoujiao looked carefully at the place where he was standing, but couldn't see what was wrong for a while.

If the firefly powder is located at the corner of the clothes, it means: either the cabinet has become shorter, or the old city god is in mid-air.

But the case file he handed over was clean, which meant that he had not touched Shi Jun's case file at all, but only took out the fake case file that he had hidden on him before.

Since he didn't take the case files, why did he touch the shelf? What was the real reason for sealing this warehouse?

There must be something in this room.

The Rain God once said: Whether it is hiding people or hiding objects, the most commonly used methods are nothing more than: creating something out of nothing and hiding objects with objects.

Obviously, the only one that can be matched here is "out of nothing".

Xu Zhoujiao seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said to the Night Wanderer, "Night Wanderer, look on the ground to see if there is any firefly powder."

She herself carefully felt every pillar and every wall.

"My lord, look here."

Sure enough, the Night Wanderer found a very fine firefly powder at the original location, as thin and long as a thread. He was worried that Xu Zhoujiao couldn't see it, so he squeezed out his tears and dripped them on it.

So, was it because the shelf sank that it hit the corner of the old city god's clothes?

But where is the mechanism?

Suddenly Xu Zhoujiao felt someone approaching, and immediately signaled to the Night Wanderer that someone was coming.

The two wrapped their cloaks again and hid in the corner.

The visitor was dressed in night clothes, holding a candle in his hand. He walked in quietly, with a familiar aura about him.

Xu Zhoujiao carefully looked at the visitor's figure and steps to determine his identity.

I observed it several times in a row.

She laughed in her heart when she saw it: Wow, it’s really an old friend.

She walked behind the person, patted his shoulder gently, and revealed her face.

Lu Daozhi, who was wearing a nightgown, just turned around and was frightened by a face that suddenly appeared. He screamed and took several steps back, taking a defensive posture.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at him with disdain and took off her cloak.

"How come a great man like Lu Pan is afraid of ghosts? Look how scared you are."

Lu Daozhi retracted his body and replied to her unhappily: "If a ghost really appeared, this judge would not be afraid, but who knows, it would be your face that suddenly appeared."

Or the kind that only has one face from beginning to end!

Xu Zhoujiao rolled her eyes at him fiercely and asked, "Why are you here dressed like this?"

Lu Daozhi was still the same as before, and his true colors were revealed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Investigating a case, or are we going outing?"

"Why are you here? Are you here to investigate a case?"

Xu Zhoujiao replied to him unhappily: "I'm here for an outing!"

After saying that, he walked away alone and continued to search for the possible location of the mechanism.

The Night Wanderer took off his cloak, explained the whole story to Lu Daozhi, and then continued to follow Xu Zhoujiao looking for clues.

The two of them searched around but found nothing. Xu Zhoujiao felt that there might be something wrong with some of her inferences.

At this time, Lu Daozhi interrupted: "If there is none below, will it be above?"

Up there? She looked up at the beams, lost in thought.

If the mechanism is on top, then what about the corner of the old city god's clothes?

Suddenly she clapped her hands and shouted, "I know."

The Night Walker asked her, "My Lord, what do you know?"

She turned to Night Wanderer and said, "You said Shi Jun's case file is in the first row, right?"

"What if I say that the corner of the old city god's clothes was accidentally touched when he was stepping on the second row?"

Night Walker nodded in sudden realization: "Yes, yes, yes, because he wanted to touch the mechanism above, so he needed to step on the second grid of the shelf for leverage. Shi Jun's case file was on the first grid, so the firefly powder on the front edge of the clothes was rubbed on at that time."

"Yes, sir, it's all right! Sir, you are so amazing!"

Xu Zhoujiao glanced at Lu Daozhi who was still confused and said, "This is all thanks to Lu Pan's reminder."

Unexpectedly, his words could help. Lu Daozhi said a little embarrassedly: "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it could help."

The Night Walker followed the original placement of the shelf and jumped onto the roof beam, looking for clues on it.

The former mortal enemy who stayed below didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Is your Judge's Pen repaired?"

"I heard what you said in Xinsheng Valley that day."

The two of them spoke their own words in unison, and the awkward atmosphere collapsed instantly.

The two looked at each other and said nothing more.

Because before, they were both on edge with each other, but now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, they both know what the other person's eyes mean: let the past go with the wind, and communicate with each other from the heart.

"Sir, I found it. Please stay away. I am going to press it."

As soon as the sound of Night Wandering Mythology fell, a huge crack appeared on the ground, and a shelf slowly rose from the ground.

Xu Zhoujiao and Lu Daozhi looked at each other and walked forward.

There were only a few case files placed on the huge shelf, and their positions were different.

Xu Zhoujiao picked one up at random and took a look. It turned out to be Zhu Zhi's.

She opened it and saw that it recorded his entire life, except that it ended with him dying in the line of duty.

There was another case file next to Zhu Zhi's. Xu Zhoujiao took it and opened it again. It was still Zhu Zhi's, but the ending was different.

This one says: Killed in the bamboo forest.

She looked at the two identical yet different case files and was completely confused...

Lu Daozhi told her: "This kind of case file is special. Once it is written down, there is no way to change it unless you make another copy."

He took the case file from Xu Zhoujiao and pointed it out to her: "The only difference between the two is the ending, which means one of them must have been copied afterwards."

"Because when the City God writes the case files, he must be accompanied by two clerks. So this one says that he was murdered in the bamboo forest."

"And the last part is what the City God wants to hand over to the local government, so it was changed to death in the line of duty."

Xu Zhoujiao raised her own question: "But, both volumes are here."

"It may be that something unexpected happened at the beginning, which led to it not being handed over. As for what happened, I need to go back to the underworld and check his life and death book."

"Sir, Shi Jun's case file."

The Night Wanderer held up a case file and handed it to Xu Zhoujiao, saying, "Sir, this is it. This is the case file I read at the beginning!"
