Yokai Office

After saying this, for an instant, Shen Xi and Zong Ci both looked over.

"whats the matter?"

The second uncle saw the serious expressions of the two, and his heart suddenly stagnated, he hesitated to speak, "Actually, I don't know whether the two are related..."

"Second Uncle?" Seeing his hesitant expression, Shen Xi urged, "If you have anything to say, just speak up! The current epidemic cannot delay!"

"About more than a month ago, a burst of black light suddenly burst out from the back mountain of our village, and even the color of the sky on the top of the mountain was not right."

black light?

Shen Xi and Zong Ci looked at each other again, and there was some doubt on each other's faces.

"At that time, people in the village were in a state of panic, and they were deeply afraid of reconciliation..." The second uncle's words came to a sudden pause.

Shen Xi was puzzled, "Second Uncle, what's wrong?"

The monsters in the village are deeply afraid that, like 20 years ago, these ominous omens will bring the lives of innocent monsters...

More than 20 years ago, many monsters in the village blamed Shen Xi for this matter.The second uncle probably also knew about this, so he deliberately paused to prevent Shen Xi from knowing about it.

Zong Ci was clear, transferred the method, and asked, "Has anyone gone up to check?"

"Yes, the patriarch brought a group of brave young men and went up to see it." The second uncle immediately followed Zongci's words and recalled, "I was not well that day, so I didn't follow."

"The patriarch and the others spent several hours checking the back mountain..."

When the patriarch led people up the mountain, everyone was very anxious.But everyone spent several hours investigating the back mountain, but did not find any abnormalities.In the next few days, everyone in the village was safe and sound, and there was no incident like it was more than 20 years ago.

Gradually, people in the village also put this matter behind them.

"I heard from the patriarch that I originally wanted to report it to the Monster Bureau. But everything in the village is as usual, and there is no change in the back mountain, so the Monster Bureau didn't take it seriously."

"Didn't the bureau send anyone to investigate carefully?"

The second uncle looked at Shen Xi and nodded.Knowing Zong Ci's identity, he looked at Zong Ci subconsciously, "Don't you all know about this?"

"There are divisions in the affairs management of the bureau. Such matters are not under the control of the investigation team for the time being."

Hearing this, Shen Xi nodded.

"So that's how it is." The second uncle sighed, "I hope this matter will not have anything to do with the epidemic, otherwise, our village will really become a disaster."

"Second Uncle, don't worry, this is not caused by people in our village..." Shen Xi comforted, "You must pay attention these few days and protect yourself with spiritual power! If you feel powerless, go to the Monster Bureau Get help."

There is no cure for the disease yet, and the monsters can only protect themselves through spiritual power.

Just like the human body has strengths and weaknesses of resistance, the spiritual power in monsters also has strengths and weaknesses.Therefore, in this incident, those monsters with weak spiritual power are the easiest to be recruited.

"I know that although my spiritual power hasn't improved for a long time, it's enough to protect myself." The second uncle felt Shen Xi's kindness and smiled.He rubbed Shen Xi's shoulder, "Xiao Xi, you should pay more attention to yourself."

"Ah."

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Shen Xi chose to say goodbye after a brief chat with his second uncle.

Zongci had already told Bi Fang the news he had received.

The three gathered at a place in the village.

"Uncle Fang, how is your situation?" Zong Ci asked.

Bi Fang shook his head, quite worried, "The team members haven't responded yet, and they should still be investigating. By the way, Xiao Ci, are you sure about what you just said?"

"Senior Bi Fang, the second uncle in the village told me about Houshan, so it should be true."

Bi Fang nodded, "I have sent someone to investigate and inquire."

Not long after, a group of members ran over, "Deputy Director, I have already asked."

When the three of them heard this, they immediately moved their eyes away.

"More than a month ago, including the patriarch, there were a total of 20 people who went up the mountain for investigation. After checking, all of them were infected."

Shen Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, "What?!"

Bi Fang rubbed his brows, feeling rather difficult, "I see, report this news to the bureau."

"Yes."

After the team members left, Bi Fang said to Zong Ci, "It seems that what happened in Houshan more than a month ago has something to do with this epidemic."

"This should be."

Shen Xi, who had been silent all this time, heard the conversation between the two, showing a worried face, and stammered, "Zong, Zongci, I also went to the back mountain a few days ago..."

"When did it happen?!" Zong Ci interrupted him, grabbed his hand, and said nervously, "Have you been to the back mountain?"

"It was the time to get a drink from Grandpa Treant." Shen Xi reminded.

Thinking of this, Zong Ci immediately frowned, "You come back to the bureau with me for a comprehensive inspection."

Originally, I was worried that my lover would catch the disease, but now it is good. As early as a few days ago, my lover went to the back of the mountain by himself.

"Hey, Zongci, wait a minute." Shen Xi took his hand instead, "I want to go see Grandpa Dryad first..."

Shen Xi carefully observed Zong Ci's expression, seeing that his expression was tense, his voice inevitably weakened.He was afraid that his lover would be angry, so he quickly added an explanation, "I'll go back and check with you after I've finished reading!"

"I really have nothing to do now. Besides, didn't you say that my spiritual power is special? Maybe, this disease can't affect me at all."

Zong Ci glanced at the mountain not far away, and frowned.

The dryad's body is rooted in the back mountain, and the spirit cannot leave the body, so the tree spirit grandpa Shen Xi talked about has always lived in the back mountain and never left for a moment.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxi's body must be checked in all aspects. As for the back mountain, we have to go too." Bi Fang planned to speak, "I will call Fenghuang and others, although Xiaoxi's identity..."

He paused, "Although Xiaoxi's identity is still unclear, the few of us have teamed up to set up a battle, and some diseases are not to be feared at all."

Although Zong Ci has always been skeptical about Shen Xi's identity as a 'demon god'.But at this moment, he hopes from the bottom of his heart that he can do what Bi Fang said.

"Zong Ci, Senior Bi Fang is right!" Shen Xi responded to Bi Fang's words, and asked Xiang Zong Ci eagerly, "Can I go to the back mountain? I'm really worried that something will happen to Grandpa Treant."

For Shen Xi, this is an inseparable relative on the road of growth.

Zongci is a nine-tailed fox demigod, Fenghuang and others are auspicious.As for Shen Xi, he might even be a demon god.

Ordinary diseases can't really affect them.

"Yes, but you must stay by my side all the time, and you can't run around." Zong Ci finally backed down a step, "After you go back, you must..."

"I know, I know!" Shen Xi held his hand, "Go and receive a comprehensive physical examination!"

"Ah."

***

After more than 40 minutes.

Fenghuang, Yingzhao and others came one after another.

"Brother, Cui Yu, why are you here?" Zong Ci was quite surprised when he saw the people who came hand in hand.

"The recent epidemic has increased the workload of the Underworld." Cui Yu maintained his usual tone, "How could I not check the situation?"

This epidemic was deliberately done by someone with a heart.

Thousands and hundreds of dead souls have been added to the underworld for no reason, but they are all the ones whose lifespan is not yet exhausted.Cui Yu, as the master of the underworld, don't mention how miserable he is.

After weighing it, he decided to come to investigate and help the Monster Bureau by the way.

Zong Ci could understand Cui Yu's thoughts, but he still cared about his brother's body, "Brother, your spiritual power has not fully recovered, so don't come to this kind of place."

Shen Xi replied, "Yes, Brother Zong."

"Don't worry you two." Cui Yu shook Zong Heng's hand, "He is my assistant now, what else can he do if he doesn't follow me?"

"He has been in the underworld for a long time, and his body has long been contaminated with death and yin. Those dirty things on the back mountain may not want to get close at all."

Hearing his lover's proud tone, Zong Heng couldn't help but smile, "Xiaoci, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my heart, isn't it protected by seniors and their formations?"

"Anyway, don't rush forward when you encounter problems." Zong Ci said helplessly.

"Okay! I won't let him have another accident!" Cui Yu pushed back his resignation, "Stop saying these things."

As soon as the words fell, the Phoenix in front shouted, "Children, stop chatting and get down to business. Come here."

Hearing this claim, the four of them smiled knowingly and walked back and forth.

***

A group of people gathered in a protective layer and stepped into the back mountain.

Shen Xi is most familiar with the environment of the back mountain, so everyone simply asked him to lead the way.

Footsteps on the path mixed with weeds and mud, rustling.

It's just that the further you go in, the more frightening the scene becomes.Different from the green scene outside, the trees, flowers and plants inside the deep mountain are all dead and rotten.

During this period, there were still carcasses of small animals, and the surface was rotting.

An Yin just took a look and concluded, "They all have a new type of infectious disease. Looking at the degree of decay, they are probably the first to suffer."

Animals without spiritual power are not like monsters, let alone humans.

In the face of disaster, there is no resistance.

Seeing this, Shen Xi frowned.He thought about the dryad, and his steps quickened involuntarily.

Everyone didn't have any objection to this, they just cooperated with him and quickened their pace.

Finally, Shen Xi stopped at a dead tree and knelt down.

"Xixi?" Zong Ci was puzzled.

Shen Xi knocked on the end of the dead wood, and said to the hollow in the middle, "Grandpa Treant, are you there? I'm Xiaoxi, I'm here to see you!"

Shen Xi was anxious and shouted again.

"Grandpa Treant? I'm Xiaoxi, are you there?"

Finally, the scene in front of him changed.

Only then did everyone understand that the "Grandfather Treant" that Shen Xi spoke of had set up a barrier here by himself.

Several auspicious people looked at each other a few times, with inquiring faces.

Shen Xi didn't know what they were thinking, seeing the scene changing as usual, she quickly looked around.

The result was just a moment, and his expression changed drastically.
