Yokai Office

two hours later.

A dark room somewhere in the Monster Bureau.

Before Shen Xi and Zong Ci walked in, they saw a huge formation pattern on the ground.

"Is this gossip?" Shen Xi's eyes widened.

An Yin on the inside washed his hands and said with a smile, "Well, inside is the azimuth map of Fuxi's gossip. The formation and spells on the outside were made by Bi Fang."

The body of An Yin's Yaoqin was originally made by Fuxi.

The gossip azimuth map he drew is naturally accurate.

Bi Fang greeted, "Xiaoxi, we will temporarily block your other four senses at that time. You just need to concentrate and concentrate your spiritual power on the tip of your nose."

"Well, I know." Shen Xi nodded solemnly.

The matter is of great importance, and he has already understood these details clearly.

"As long as you know the location." Fenghuang said again, "When the range is determined, we will send people to set up the formation."

"it is good."

Shen Xi nodded and was about to take a step, but Zongci suddenly pulled him back, "Xixi."

"Huh?" Shen Xi looked at him.

Zong Ci said calmly, "I'll give you the main line, you just need to concentrate, I won't let you get hurt."

He was afraid that Shen Xi would be burdened, so he didn't tell the danger of the main formation.

"Also, don't be brave."

"Zong Ci?" Shen Xi frowned, always feeling that the other party was hiding something from him, otherwise how could he suddenly change his mind and agree to do this?

He looked at the formation on the ground, a little lost in thought.

Formation?Zongci main line?

Shen Xi vaguely guessed something.

Zong Ci patted his forehead lightly, "Let's go."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Xi grabbed his arm, "I won't let myself get hurt, and I won't let you get hurt either."

Zong Ci was taken aback, but he immediately came to his senses.

Shen Xi had a delicate mind, and there were some things that he couldn't hide from him at all.

"it is good."

There was already an invisible tacit understanding between the two, Shen Xi smiled brightly, and kissed Zongci again with a 'baji' on the lips.

After the impulsiveness passed, it was belatedly that he realized that Bi Fang and the others were still present.Shen Xi's face flushed suddenly, and she immediately wanted to find a hole in the ground and slip herself into it.

Bi Fang laughed teasingly, "You young monsters just love to make trouble."

With a smile in his eyes, Zong Ci took Shen Xi's hand and led him in, "Uncle Fang, it's almost there, let's get ready to start."

"Okay." Bi Fang nodded.

An Yin walked to Shen Xi's side and asked, "Xiao Xi, are you ready?"

"Ah."

Hearing the answer, An Yin imagined a Yaoqin out of thin air, and he said, "Next, I'm going to seal your other four senses. You may feel uncomfortable for a moment, so don't panic."

An Yin's voice was still as gentle as jade.

"Brother An, don't worry, I'm ready."

"Okay." An Yin stopped talking, and pointed Yao Qin directly at Shen Xi.

The slender fingers plucked the strings, and the wood-colored spiritual power that followed instantly swept over Shen Xi.

In just a moment, Shen Xi fell into complete darkness and silence.

The so-called five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch.

At this moment, except for his sense of smell, the other four senses are blocked.

Although he had already made preparations, at this moment, Shen Xi still felt his heart tighten.

[Sisi. 】

It is Zongci's telepathy.

【I'm holding your hand, don't be afraid.I heard it and nodded. 】

Shen Xi quickly followed suit.

【I'll let you smell the smell of that lock of hair. 】

As soon as the voice fell, there was a trace of smell at the end of the nose.

After the other four senses were blocked, Shen Xi subconsciously relied more on the sense of smell.It is precisely because of this that his sense of smell is at its best under normal conditions.

"I smell good."

Shen Xi couldn't hear his own voice, and was a little flustered.But soon, I heard Zong Ci's telepathy again, 【Follow me, I will take you to the formation. 】

"……it is good."

A familiar smell came from the end of his nose, the faint scent of mint made Shen Xi feel extremely at ease.

In just a few seconds, Shen Xi sat down in the center of the formation.

【Xixi, concentrate, hold your breath, we are ready to start. 】

Shen Xi nodded, closed his eyes, and looked extremely focused.

Seeing this, everyone didn't say much. They looked at each other and were ready to start.

According to Bi Fang's teaching, Zong Ci silently recited a mantra, accompanied by blue spiritual power, and went straight to the eye of the formation.

And Bi Fang, Fenghuang, and Chongming were located in the triangle, and they channeled their spiritual power into the formation spell on the ground.

An Yin kept an eye on Shen Xi's state and used spiritual power to help him concentrate.

Formation, started.

***

Shen Xi, who was sitting in the center of the formation, felt that all the smells entered his nostrils in an instant.

The smell of everything around is infinitely magnified and expanded.

Miscellaneous and complex.

Shen Xi was a little dizzy from the impact, tightly knit his brows, and focused his attention again and again.

Gradually, dense sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and his face turned pale.

Seeing this, Zongci was very anxious.

"Xiaoci, hold on tight!" Bi Fang noticed this and quickly reminded him.

Zong Ci luck, stabilize his spiritual power output.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Shen Xi gritted his teeth and remained silent, but his expression was extremely ugly.Suddenly, he stretched out his finger and pointed in one direction, and said, "Here..."

"Stop!" Bi Fang shouted at the crowd.

Zong Ci was the first to react, and slowly withdrew his spiritual power.And Bi Fang and others also withdrew their spiritual power.

An Yin plucked a few strings, opening Shen Xi's blocked four senses.

"Ahem!" Shen Xi coughed unceasingly, and fell down on the formation, unable to get up.

Zong Ci hastily hugged him horizontally, "Xixi?!"

"...I'm fine, it's just a little pain." Shen Xiwo explained weakly as she didn't move in his arms.

His spiritual power could not be retracted and released freely, and now it was being consumed again, and his body couldn't bear it.

However, he was not backlashed by the formation, but let the big stones in everyone's hearts fall to the ground.

"An Yin, where is Xiaoxi pointing?" Bi Fang hurriedly asked.

The Bagua azimuth map on the ground was drawn by An Yin combined with the current azimuth.He naturally saw the hexagram that Shen Xifang was pointing at clearly.

Gannan, Kunbei, Lidong, Kanxi, Duuidongnan, Zhendongbei, Xunxixi, and Genxibei.

Bagua represents eight directions.

"The hexagram that Xiaoxi just pointed to is the hexagram Kun, pointing directly to the north!" An Yin affirmed.

"By the way, there is a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol..." Shen Xi pressed Zong Ci's shoulder, afraid that everyone would not understand, and explained again, "The smell is mixed with the smell of alcohol and tobacco."

Fenghuang frowned, "North? The smell of alcohol and tobacco?"

"It should be in an entertainment and consumption place." Zong Ci shouted, "Liu Huo!"

"Here!" Liu Huo has been guarding outside the dark room, and when he heard Zong Ci's shout, he immediately walked in, "Zong team!"

"Take out the electronic positioning map."

Seeing the serious expressions of everyone, Liu Huo didn't think otherwise, followed the instructions and took out the items from the backpack.The action was fast and there was no delay.

"In the northern area of ​​Jindu, large bars, Internet cafes and other entertainment venues, search them all for me!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Liu Huo gave the answer.

"There are 23 in total."

This amount is neither too much nor too little.

It's just that the arsonists are mobile, and they may have moved their location when they searched.

"Come here." Fenghuang gave an order, and several monsters rushed in immediately, "Director."

"Set up a warning formation along the northern line of Jindu, as long as there are monsters moving, report them immediately!"

The so-called warning array only works against monsters.Once set up, it is equivalent to a warning wall for human beings, and it is difficult to escape.

But this is too prone to errors.

After all, there are quite a few monsters living in Jindu today.

"Liuhuo, check again." Shen Xi regained some strength and said, "Nowadays, Internet cafes are very formal and require identification, and it is normal for Internet cafes to smell of smoke, but the smell of alcohol may not be strong... It is unlikely that arsonists will go to the Internet cafes. .”

Zong Ci understood Shen Xi's meaning in an instant, and said, "I'm the one who is impatient."

"Liuhuo, only search dance halls, bars and other entertainment venues. In addition, the main search area is set in the neon district and business district."

The Nilong District is the center of Jindu, while the business district is just to the north of Jindu.

In the past few days, the arsonist has been committing crimes back and forth between these two areas, and it is estimated that his scope of action is still limited to this.

"Ok."

"Check while on the road." Chongming said bluntly.

time does not wait!

Zong Ci looked down at Shen Xi's appearance and said, "I'll take you to the medical room to rest."

"No, I'll go with you." Shen Xi objected.

"Sissi, don't make trouble."

Shen Xi struggled to get out of Zong Ci's arms, "Now I am most familiar with the smell of the arsonist! I must go!"

After that, he softened his tone again, "I'm fine, and I promise to hide behind you obediently, okay?"

"Zongci? Let's not waste time here..."

Zong Ci understood Shen Xi's insistence, and saw that his complexion had recovered a lot, so he didn't refute any more.

As the captain of the investigation team, he will definitely go there.Rather than leaving Shen Xi here alone, he might as well bring him by his side.

"Let's go." Zong Ci took his hand.

"Ah."

The two walked out quickly and went to join the large army.

Liuhuo resumed the search.There are [-] entertainment venues located on the northern line in the Neon District and Business District.

The crowd planned to split into two and conduct point-to-point searches.

Phoenix sits in the bureau and conducts deployment and dispatch.

Zong Ci took Shen Xi along with An Yin and Liu Huo.

Bi Fang and Chong Ming led the subordinates of the Monster Bureau to form a team.

***

All entertainment venues have been greeted in advance.

So when Zong Ci and others entered, they were not blocked at all.

Shen Xi closely followed Zongci's side, concentrated his spiritual power on the tip of his nose, and perceived and discerned the smell.

However, Zong Ci and An Yin's cultivation base is advanced, and if there is a strange evil force around them, they can immediately distinguish it.

Several people searched three entertainment venues, but found nothing.

Liuhuo contacted Bi Fang's team, and it was the same situation.

"Don't worry, look for it again." Shen Xi said to everyone.

"Team Zong, the blue sea and blue sky are here." Said the member of the Monster Bureau leading the way.

'Bi Hai Lan Tian' is a large-scale entertainment venue, which integrates singing and dancing, entertainment, and bars, and is located at the junction of the Nilong District and the business district.

As soon as the few people entered, they frowned in unison.

The deafening dance hall music, the pungent smell of tobacco and alcohol, and the nude men and women of all colors all evoke madness.

Shen Xi always felt that these mixed smells were somewhat familiar, so he pulled La Zongci's sleeve as a reminder.

Zong Ci understood what he meant, his expression changed slightly, and he led him in.

An Yin and Liu Huo looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

The noisy environment made Shen Xi vaguely feel a little uncomfortable, he concentrated his energy and explored everything around him.This smell faintly appeared in the swaying crowd in the ballroom.

Shen Xi pulled Zong Ci and squeezed in.

Crowded and crazy crowd, the smell of all kinds of people blowing in the face.

Shen Xi felt extremely uncomfortable, and his expression changed again and again.However, he still kept his mission firmly in mind and did not dare to be distracted.

"Get up!" A voice sounded on the stage, accompanied by a more intense musical prelude.

The atmosphere was instantly ignited.

The crowd erupted into a frenzy and danced wildly.

Those who can continue to play here are extremely open.Shen Xi was originally involved with Zong Ci, but the crowd was crowded, and for some reason, they were separated abruptly.

Shen Xi panicked, turned around quickly, and shouted, "Zongci!"

Unfortunately, his voice was drowned out by the crowd.There was even a sexy and hot woman who directly caught up with Shen Xi and danced close to him.The pungent perfume smell made Shen Xi, who was already uncomfortable, feel even more disgusted.

Shen Xi struggled in embarrassment, and for a moment ignored Zongci's telepathy.

He pushed the woman's arm away, squeezed in the crowd, and fled abruptly.

Facing the surrounding human wall, Shen Xi only felt hypoxic and dizzy.A hot feeling gushed out of his nose, and he wiped it casually, and it turned out that nosebleeds ooze out.

[...Zongci. 】

Shen Xi remembered telepathy and called out.

He was pushed back and forth by the fanatical crowd, and could only 'follow the crowd', waiting for Zongci's reply.

【Sisi, where are you? ! 】

Shen Xi was just about to answer, but he didn't expect to be squeezed out of the crowd.

Suddenly there was no support around, coupled with his increasingly dizzy head, Shen Xi subconsciously fell to one side.

In the nick of time, someone reached out to support him.

"Little brother, are you okay?" The voice was extremely ordinary.

Shen Xi's whole body was stiff, and he raised his eyes to look.

A normal-looking man was asking him questions.

He still put his arm around Shen Xi's shoulder, but it made people feel uncomfortable for no reason, "I see you have a nosebleed? What's the matter? Do you want to rest in my place for a while?"

Shen Xi was startled, and wiped his nose with his hand, but luckily there was no bleeding.

"Little brother?" the man asked again.

Shen Xi looked at the man, his palms were already sweating.He tried his best to stabilize his mentality, and replied, "...Okay, okay."

The smell of this person is all too familiar!

The arsonist they were looking for was standing in front of him at this moment!
