Roster of Demons

Before going back, Gu Zhen abducted into Mr. Zhang's dessert shop and bought a five-color luxury Big Mac cone for Little Crow.

"You really don't want to eat it? It tastes good." The little crow held the cone carefully, opened the passenger's door, and sat on the seat.

"No appetite, can't eat." Gu Zhen closed the door and started the car.

The alarm in the car kept beeping, the little crow's seat belt was not fastened, and he was eating his cone without any intention of doing anything.

Gu Zhen leaned forward, and the little crow subconsciously leaned back on the chair.

"Don't move, rub the ice cream on me and I can fight you hard." Gu Zhen pulled the seat belt and buckled it for him.The sirens finally stopped.

The car drove slowly in the direction of the return journey, passing a huge LCD advertising screen on the way, and a noble and elegant ice cream advertisement was playing on it, which was the one that Gu Zhen always had at home.

The little crow stuffed the last bite of the egg roll into his mouth, and licked the fingertips stuck to the ice cream one by one.

Gu Zhen took out a tissue and handed it to him: "Wipe."

Gu Zhen looked at the little crow and thought to himself, could the old beggar's guess be true, could he really be a phoenix?

"What are you thinking about?" Little Crow wiped his hands, and threw the tissue into Bear's trash can.

"Imagination." Gu Zhen said, "There are a lot of monsters registered in your roster, right?"

"Yeah. I was counting before the demon star Luotu was activated." Speaking of this, the little crow got excited and turned out the roster of ten thousand demons, looking at each page. Although from Gu Zhen's perspective, except for the title page, the rest Sections are blank.

"There are quite a lot of colors on the demon star Luo map?" Gu Zhen asked.

"Not many, only a few kinds. Light yellow is unregistered monsters, and light blue is registered monsters." The little crow said, "To turn all the yellow dots into blue is my goal now."

"Then you have to be busy," Gu Zhen said, "I think blue is a fraction of yellow. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard."

"It's up to you." The little crow said, "I can finish it all before the end of the year."

Gu Zhen expressed doubts about this.

"Then there are still red ones," Gu Zhen asked, "I glanced at it when I turned the page just now, and saw a red flash. But it disappeared when I turned it over. Maybe I was dazzled. gone."

"Impossible!" The little crow hurriedly turned back to the title page, "Only monsters with registered information will give an early warning when they encounter danger. With the current number, the probability is very small. Red means there is danger, and if there is a real situation, it will not just flash once." ..."

The little crow didn't finish the second half of the sentence, because there was indeed a red dot on the title page, the color was very light, and the red was gray.It is not obvious that it is mixed among the large yellow and blue dots, and it only beats weakly once and for all.

The little crow checked the position, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's Pixiu."

"An old beggar? The old man is dying. He is indeed dying. It is very dangerous." Gu Zhen said, "Are all their brave monsters living alone? They don't have any relatives or friends. There is only one old monster in the last few days." Sacrifice is taking care of him, eh, it makes me sad to think about it."

He was a bit of a sympathetic man who hated seeing others suffer, especially the elderly.Although I knew there was nothing I could do about birth, old age, illness and death, but I still felt a little uncomfortable when I really said it.

"Don't forget that Pixiu's nature is to go in and out. Taking care of others means giving, and it's worse than death for them, so after adulthood, Pixiu lives alone, even between husband and wife. Separate." The little crow said.

"The normal death of a monster will not appear in the list of ten thousand monsters. There will be a danger warning indicating that someone is against him. Judging from the current state of the old Pixiu, he is not enough to protect himself. In such a situation, the book manager must Take care." The little crow patted the back of the driver's seat, "Turn around! We have to go back."

Gu Zhen didn't hesitate for a moment, turned the steering wheel at the intersection ahead, and turned the car's head under the camera.

The two hurried back to the bridge, but they were still a step too late.

The old beggar was gone, only an overturned stainless steel bowl and an old blanket remained.The coins in the bowl were picked up, and the blanket fell alone on the ground, blown by the wind to a position close to the guardrail.

"No way, is it really dangerous?" Gu Zhen became nervous, "Who is so ruthless that he would attack a dying old man?"

The little crow raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Gu Zhen not to speak. He held his breath and concentrated, vaguely capturing the remaining "meaning" in the air.

"This way." The little crow gave Gu Zhen a hand.The direction he pointed was the commercial street to the north.

The old beggar's "intelligence" was very thin, and it sometimes disappeared. It took the two of them a lot of time to find the correct route. They crossed the commercial street and got into the small alley, carefully avoiding the sundries piled up outside the residents' doors, and then Drilled out from the other end of the alley.

"No, why did you come back to this commercial street again?" Gu Zhen was familiar with this place, and soon realized that something was wrong. He turned around and found that the exit of the alley behind him was the entrance he just entered, "No way, the ghost hit the wall ?”

"It's careless. The other party has a spiritual successor." The little crow was put together, his face was not very good-looking, he looked around, "The other party doesn't know that we are following, it's just a blocking formation just in case—we Go in again." He said and pulled Gu Zhen to walk into the alley again.

"What is the successor of the spiritual vein?" Gu Zhen has been exposed to too many new terms these days, and his head has been smashed into a paste.

"To put it simply, they are human beings with spiritual power inheritance in their blood. They can form formations, set up boundaries, and set up printed symbols. The powerful ones can also call wind and rain, which is very capable." The little crow turned his head and gave him a meaningful look, "It's not like you kind."

Gu Zhen choked for a moment, and said stiffly, "I'm a normal human being, okay?"

This time, I don't know what method the little crow used. Gu Zhen only felt that his body was oppressed by an invisible energy, and every step was very difficult to walk, but this state did not last long, and the two quickly found the right one. Exit the alley, break out of the formation, and stand on another street.

The old beggar's "meaning" could hardly be heard, and the little crow followed the last trace of breath, up to the third floor of an old entertainment center.This was originally a billiard hall, but now all the tables have been removed, and most of the decoration has been demolished, leaving only some broken cue sticks lying on the ground.

The little crow rushed in quickly and searched the entire hall, but found no sign of the old beggar.

"Lost? Can you still keep up?" Gu Zhen caught up with him and almost tripped over the rolling club on the ground.

"'Yi' disappeared." The little crow turned out the register of ten thousand monsters, opened the title page, and at the same time, the red dot on the map of the demon star disappeared.

Gu Zhen leaned forward to look, not knowing why: "Does this mean that the old man is fine?"

"Despicable!" The little crow showed displeasure, and punched the wall hard.The room trembled faintly, and the glass of more than a dozen windows in three rows was shattered at the same time, and they all fell to the ground with a clatter.

"You're crazy!" Gu Zhen was taken aback. It didn't look like he was going to be okay, so he hurried to pull the little crow.

The little crow frowned and broke free: "Don't touch me!"

"Brother, are you going to do something?" Gu Zhen was in a hurry, "It's too loud. I guess someone will come to check it out within a minute. Are you going to be watched or go on TV? Let's go!" Gu Zhen Going to pull him again, this time the little crow reluctantly followed him.

The two exited the billiard hall and went downstairs along the passage they had come from.As soon as the two of them ran to the street, they saw several colorful heads sticking out of the windows on the third floor, looking around, cursing and looking like they were always ready to find fault.

Gu Zhen quickly put his hand on the little crow's shoulder, pretending that it had nothing to do with him, and the two brothers walked slowly.He didn't let go of the little crow until the noise behind him was far away.

The little crow was in a very bad mood, and things were out of control. This feeling was very bad.He lowered his head and had "very unhappy" written all over his body.

Gu Zhen was afraid that he would go berserk again, and it would be difficult to end it in public, so he bit the bullet and asked, "What's wrong with you? You suddenly became so angry."

"Someone locked up Pixiu with a formation." The little crow turned to look at Gu Zhen, but he didn't vent his anger. He held his breath and said it, but it felt better, "The formation used by the other party can block the list of ten thousand monsters and monsters. I couldn't find him."

"Then what should we do? This is kidnapping, why don't I call the police... right?" After saying this, Gu Zhen herself felt a little speechless.

"Stupid!" The little crow scolded him, but his mood eased a little.In fact, he has calmed down a lot after this journey, "There is nothing I can do now. However, it will be very troublesome to completely block contact with the outside world with this kind of confinement formation. There are many restrictions, and it takes a lot of energy. The duration is not It will be very long, more than two days will cause irreversible damage to the people who set up the formation.

"So I guess it will take at most two days. Within two days, they will release Pixiu from the formation. Then I will be able to find him."

"Then we wait for two days?" Gu Zhen asked.

"I can only do this first." The little crow was still in a low mood, walking with his head down, and almost bumped into a telephone pole.

Gu Zhen grabbed him and asked him to stand aside: "You wait for me here, and I'll drive the car over."

The car was issued a ticket for parking illegally. Gu Zhen didn't tear it up, but drove the car to the side of the road and stopped, leaning over to open the door: "Get in the car."

The little crow drooped its head.It was the first time Gu Zhen saw the little crow looking so downcast, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he hesitated for a while, and finally reached out and stroked his head.
